I'm back with more info. The story is going to follow the TV Justice League series in the order. However several changes will be added.

I still don't know about the pairings. That's the problem that keeps getting in my way. I want to make it believable and at the same time interesting to read. I appreciate any ideas you can give me.

With that in mind, the only thing left to say is that I don't own Naruto or Justice League this in only a story I can up with and hope that people like it.

And now enjoy the chapter, and leave your reviews on the way back…

This chapter has been written and improved by DarkShadowRaven and beta_read by Sithmaster56a.

Chapter 3: Origins and the plan

-Previously-

"I am Diana princess of the Amazons."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze."

"It's begun" answered J'onn clearly knowing what was happening.

"What are they doing?" asked Hawkgirl.

"The invaders are nocturnal. They want to blot out the sun to live in perpetual darkness" J'onn answered in a monotone voice, knowing well what was happening.

"Then we'll have to take out those factories" with a conclusive tone and her hand of her hips, Diana broke the silence.

Reaching the closed entrance Naruto and Batman turned around, Naruto being the one to voice their thoughts "… This doesn't look good…" he said with his eyes narrowed and a grim look on his face.

"Batman!, Naruto!(BBZZZTT!)(BZZT!)(BZZTTT!)(BTZZT!)" Screamed Diana trying to reach the heroes but all she heard were weapons being fired and imprints on the organic door being formed. "Nooo!"

She wanted to rip the door apart but was stopped by J'onn "Wait! There's nothing more we can do for them!"

"You mean they're…"

"…gone" answered the alien completing her sentence with his head down and saddened tone.

-And now-

Batman and Naruto looked at each other and jumped on opposite parts of the wall with Batman jumping at his right while the ninja jumped on the left.

"We got to get out of here!" Batman said in alarm as the guards were charging while some were aiming guns. He threw a few batarangs stabing aliens in the head and blowing them apart.

"Yeah, but these guys could be a problem. We need a distraction, so Kage Bunshin! ". Instantly 6 Naruto's appeared and proceeded to engage the aliens while the real Naruto and Batman, having taken the crystal with them, fled through another corridor. "Don't stop for anything, just keep running!"

"What was that? Some kind of hologram?" asked batman never looking back.

"No, they're real and the just bought us some time." He ran the corridor as a door open and with some armed aliens tried to a stop them. He pulled a kunai and threw it at the leading alien stabbing him in the chest.

The heroes fled by the door while other aliens pushed their injured brother aside trying to shoot the intruders.

"(Tzzzz)(BOOM!)" The kunai with the explosive tag blew in their faces leaving none alive.

Reaching the end of the hallway, four passages stood their way.

"No time to search all of them. Kage Bunshin !" four clones instantly appeared.

"Alright, spread out and find anything that looks like a way out."

"Hai!" the clones fanned out in a sprint each going a separate way.

Naruto and Batman stood silent for a couple of minutes until Naruto broke the silence "We take the one on the right."

"Is that the way out?" with the crystal still under his arm.

"I don't know, but the others lead to either armed guards or traps." Answered the blond already running down the path.

They ran through the maze but finally came to a dead end reaching the clone.

Naruto looked around and spotted a hole in the wall meaning that they reached the outer wall.

"We have to find another way out." Said Batman turning around.

With a smirk and looking at his clone, who gave him a nod, the ninja put some distance between him and the wall "No need, we'll just use the back door."

"What back-door?" asked Batman.

"The one I'm about to make." Finishing his sentence Naruto extended his palm and the clone starting to make swirling motions with his hands around the original's hand. The motions started to take shape and form into a ball of white light with light blue swirling afterimages like a propeller on a helicopter.

After a few moments, the clone disappeared and Naruto charged to the wall "Futon: Rasengan!" Thrusting his hand with the ball of chakra against the wall. A screeching sound could be heard before the whole wall started to crack and break leaving a hole the size of a double-decker bus.

Batman lost his focus covering his body with his cape; after the damage was done he turned to look at the hole in surprise for a few seconds before Naruto turned to him with a smile "Coming or staying?"

Not wanting to stay any more than necessary, Batman jumped through the hole and out of sight from the walkers that started perusing them.

Both started running, Batman sometimes using his grappling hock and Naruto pushing chakra to his feet to increase his speed. Finally reaching a safe distance and catching their breath.

Naruto looked around "where's Diana and J'onn?"

"I don't know! But we've got bigger problems now!" He pointed at the walkers that were cut that were on their tails. Surprisingly they didn't peruse any further.

"Why aren't they doing anything?" asked the ninja.

"I'm not sure. Just don't stop now!" returned Batman making more distance between them and the walkers.

After a while they finally stopped to rest.

"Damn it!"Swore the ninja sinking to the ground. "I can't believe J'onn and Diana ditched us!" said the ninja with narrowed eyes.

"No, maybe he helped us… think about it, escaping was almost too easy, why didn't the guards outside kill us when we stepped out or follow us? J'onn said they absorbed their shape-shifting ability, so maybe they absorbed some of their mental abilities as well" said Batman putting everything together.

"It could explain why they kept cutting us off while in the facility, why they were so organized. But, now what?"

"Now we use the bat jet I landed 2 miles away to get out of here and analyze this thing, maybe we can find a weakness" said batman already walking.

"Shouldn't we reunite with the others?" asked the ninja.

"If J'onn didn't contact us yet, then maybe we shouldn't. This could be his plan all along. Let's go!"

After running for a while they finally reached the bat jet, Naruto jumped in the back of the jet while Batman jumped in the front and started activating all the systems on the jet.

"Where are we going now?" asked the ninja curious.

"I am going to the bat cave. Where can I drop you off?" asked the dark knight.

"Why can't I come with you?" questioned the ninja with a little pout.

"I only meet you a few hours ago, and where I'm going is a 'professional secret'." He announced making it clear he wasn't the trusting type, but he smirked inwardly, after all who doesn't like keeping a few secrets.

"Touché, but two minds are better than one and this is an emergency. Also I won't tell anyone if I find anything kinky in there" said the blond with a grin trying to brighten the situation. "Wouldn't matter anyway, end of the world and stuff, you know…"

"(Sign) you'd have to wear a blindfold" realizing that there was an emergency and that leaving the kid somewhere would just make things harder.

"Getting to the kinky part, huh? Fine, don't worry secrecy is my profession." said the blond with a grin showing his teeth.

Batman just have a slight smirk before plotting the course to the bat cave giving Naruto a blindfold and making sure it was securely covering his eyes.

-Metropolis-

J'onn and Wonder Woman waited for Flash and Green Lantern while looking at the chaos cause by panic and fear of people.

"Perhaps mother was right about mankind. They're nothing but untamed savages." Said the princess looking at the chaos.

"Do not judge too lightly, they act out of fear and despair." Said the blue skinned alien in monotone.

Green Lantern and Flash finally arrived.

"Sorry we're late, had to help some civilians." Lantern said turning to them to offer an explanation for the lateness, but not getting a chance to ask why they had been called.

"Why did you call us back for?" Flash asked before Lantern could, with his arms opened showing his curiosity.

Diana sighed but hardened her resolve. It was not the time right now.

"Superman and Hawkgirl have been captured, they're somewhere inside that facility" explained the Amazon pointing at the factory in the middle of the city.

"Wow!" Muttered the Flash looking the lightning that danced around the factory.

"What about Batman and the kid?" asked Lantern wondering why they weren't there.

It was J'onn that answered this time with his head down "They both fought heroically, and died like heroes."

"You mean the bats and the ninja are gone?" asked Flash in disbelief, heart struck that the unbeatable Batman himself was gone and the friend he just made was had fallen as well.

"They were true warriors" spoke the princess with respect.

John voiced their thoughts looking at the facility "This is not good. Definitely not good."

The remaining heroes formed a plan. They were going to break into the facility and free Superman and Hawkgirl. Their entrance was faced with little resistance; occasional pairs of guards were in their way but were easily dispatched. When they finally reached their comrades they entered their holding cell careless and triggered a trap that looked them in. Tiny holes opened in the walls and the gas that dispatched Superman and Hawkgirl, quickly knocking all of them out and securing their easy capture.

-Gotham-Batcave-

Naruto started exploring the cave and was amazed how big it was.

Batman in the meantime was using his computer to analyze the crystal.

Naruto finally turned to him wanting some answers "Anything?"

"The crystal seams to generate an ion flux that when released in the atmosphere creates dry rain clouds" said dark knight looking at the data.

"Why would they do that?"

"I'm not sure, J'onn said that their nocturnal and they intend to cover the sun."

Naruto took a thinking position with index finger under his nose and the palm covering his mouth "even so… hmm… look underneath the underneath…"

"What was that?" batman stopped and looked at the blond.

"What? O sorry, my old sensei used to tell me that a ninja must look underneath the underneath if he ever wanted to be a good ninja" said the blond

"…good advice."

"You're thinking about what happened there in the factory, aren't you?" asked Naruto not looking at him.

"Yes… something strange happened then." Batman continued to look at the data.

"I know… when we broke in they retreated…"

"When we went in deeper they kept attacking."

"Maybe it wasn't us that they ran away from… maybe it was something else."

"They risked a lot letting us in when they could have just blocked us from the start at the entrance. Maybe a trap."

"I don't think so; they looked real scared to just be acting."

Realization and shock appeared on Batman's face "(UH) sunlight!"

"What? Sunlight?"

"The aliens come from deep space, so they must have evolved with no resistance against our solar radiation." Batmans returned pressing some buttons on the huge computer.

"So that's why they are trying to block the sun and why they attacked at night… they had a time-limit."

"Yes, I think I can change the ion flow of this crystal, that will make the storm disperse and the sun appear." Said batman pressing buttons on the computer and coming with a schematic of a portable ion flow device.

"Well, I think we need to hurry. Look!" Naruto pointed at the monitor that showed the news.

Both turned their attention to the screen.

"Government sources have confirmed the approach of another object from space. They predict it will be roughly five times the size of the first asteroid…"

Naruto turned back to the dark knight. "Looks like the ones in charge are coming to admire his handiwork."

"Then we should strike at them first. If their leaders are arrogant enough to land before the invasion is over, then it's quite possible that the others will be there too."

"You really think they got captured?" asked the ninja quirking an eye.

"Yes." Returned the dark knight.

Naruto nodded. "Alright, I'll leave you to your work. I'll get my gear ready." The ninja turned around and moved to a deeper section of the bat cave.

Batman continued to create the device while in the cave Naruto made two clones.

"Alright, you know what you have to do. I'll handle the rest."

"Understood. We're going to kick their ass out of this world, literally." Said one of the clones.

Naruto looked at it with an evil smirk "This brings back memories. Well, let's get to it."

The clones got in a lotus position while Naruto got one of his storage scrolls and summoned an empty scroll, a brush and ink. He opened it started to make seals. 'It's a good thing I learned some seals all this time, otherwise I'd still be depending on old Fukasaku right now.'

When he finally finished, he started to feel a presence making itself known.

'You seem to be having fun.' Sly chuckle came before the fox spoke.

'I don't know if it's fun, but it is something like excitement.'

'Maybe you just enjoy that you are finally starting to feel alive again.'

'Hmm, how's that?'

'Come on Naruto, admit it! You want this! For months you have been wondering this world with nothing to do. No destination to reach. No purpose to fulfill. This is what you missed. On the road you just got lost…' the fox ceased its rant to hear Naruto's response.

"… Not all who wander, are lost" he said out laud but silently enough to not be heard through the entire cave.

Batman chose that moment to appear, interrupting their arguments and hearing his last line. "Talking to yourself?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto quickly turned around spooked and scratched his neck with a nervous smile on his face "Ohh, hahaha sorry I was just thinking out laud." He looked around and realized that he had been walking back to Batman while he was talking to the Kyuubi.

'…kick some ass kid; it might get your mind off it.' The fox slowly broke his mental link with Naruto and returned to its cage.

Batman gave Naruto a look but chose to dismiss his behavior, focusing on the more important situation. "The ship is heading towards Metropolis."

"Then let's go."

Batman and Naruto quickly got in the cat jet and flew to Metropolis.

Meanwhile the alien ship itself was already above Metropolis.

-Metropolis, 1 hour later-

Batman and Naruto landed on a building a few streets away from the facility.

"Alright, do you have a plan?"

"Yes, we break in, sneak to the ion matrix crystal and place this emitter on it to change the ion flow."

"Add in break their legs and it's a plan, let's go!"

Both proceeded towards the facility, batman using his grappling hock while Naruto was jumping from building to building with his chakra boosts.

Finally reaching the facility both managed to sneak in and with Naruto's clones managed to find the core.

Naruto looked around and saw the rest of the heroes. "It looks like they all got caught." Turning his sight on the aliens that approached them. "Hey isn't that the senator guy that talked Superman into disabling all Earth's defenses?"

"He must have been a spy sent to trick us into disabling our weapons to make their invasion easier."

When they reached the core, they heard someone' screams and looked at the parasitic creature that had its tentacles in J'onn's skin and pulling him inside out.

Naruto broke the silence. "That must be the leader. That! sick, slimy, piece of shit!" Naruto wanted to make a run for the monster but Batman put a hand on his shoulder stopping him.

"We have to get the ion disrupter to that crystal first."

"He's killing him there!"

"And it will be for nothing if we don't do this first!"

Naruto just grit his teeth and looked at the crystal then back at Batman and nodded.

Batman used his grappling hock to reach it while Naruto used a kunai with a wire to reach it. When he reached batman tried to use one his batarangs to try to cut it but it was incredibly tough.

"NOW!" It was J'onn that gave the signal.

"Step back! Rasengan" Naruto slammed his right arm in the protective crystal with the rasengan breaking the protective layer.

The rest of the heroes looked at the sound of the explosion. Seeing Naruto and Batman on the protective layer.

Flash the closest broke the silence "Batman? Ninja-guy?"

"It can't be." The princess' voice was full of wonder and slight shock.

J'onn gaining his form back answered their thoughts "I mentally shielded them so they couldn't be detected."

Batman plunged his hand holding the emitter pushing it in the ion crystal activating it. Instantly the red layers that surrounded the crystal and the walls turned blue.

"What have you done?" asked the fake senator Carter.

"Reversed the ion charge" responded the dark knight.

"The crystal; Destroy it!" ordered the Imperium urgently.

Naruto and Batman jumped from the crystal to their comrades.

"(BLLTZ)! (ZSTTS)! (BZLLTZ)! (BLLLLLZTS)! (BLLLTZSS)!" But all their fire power did nothing to the crystal. It already hardened.

"It's shielded!"

The facility started to pulse a blue light to the skies and the dark clouds started to dissipate letting sunlight shine on the facility.

Instantly the aliens started to burn from the scorching light, some even began to melt and evaporate instantly. The Imperium himself started to burn while the others took cover in the shade. J'onn managed to free himself from the vile creature and grabbed its tentacles pulling it to the light.

"You live underground and shun the light! WHY! Does it burn your pale putrid skin! BEGONE WITH THE LIGHT YOU VILE NIGHTMARE!"

The creature continued to scream in agony burning and melting in the scorching ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Naruto and Batman went for the others. While the dark hero was using a laser to release Diana, Naruto put chakra in his muscles and punched the hardened organic substance that held Green Lantern's arms before he too started releasing the others.

"Ultraviolet rays, coming from deep space, they have no resistance against our sun's radiation." It was Batman that answered their unasked question.

"So you did find a weakness after all." Spoke Diana freeing herself.

"DESTROY THEM!" ordered the Imperium its voice wavering.

The invaders proceeded to fire their weapons at the superheroes but Superman covered them by ripping a section of the platform the aliens were on and bending it giving them cover.

After freeing themselves the heroes quickly attacked the aliens with Hawkgirl using her mace to break the invaders apart while Flash, and Green Lantern were punching and scattering them around. Superman flew through the surface of the facility and making holes that let sunlight to enter and hit the invaders burning them. The rest of the superheroes proceeded to help him and ripped entire sections of the roof letting sunlight enter. Naruto was fighting the aliens and giving J'onn some cover why he got his rightful revenge on the alien parasite.

The Imperium managed to free itself from the Martian Manhunter's grip and get in its shuttle. The entrance closed and started to fly to the ship but Diana used her lasso to grip its tail its ascent. The shuttle fired a beam from the tail and the princess was forced to deflect it thus releasing her grip. The shuttle started to fly away but Hawkgirl flew above it and charged her mace before smashing the nose disabling it. She continued to strike it Naruto joined her giving the final hit "Fūton: Renkūdan"

The shuttle fell and hit the factory exploding and almost falling on Batman had Flash not rescued him. The facility started to fall apart..

"It's time to leave the party" putting his hands together in a cross sign "Kage Bunshin".

Ten clones appeared and started releasing the captured civilians and carried them with Superman and Flash in a group. Green Lantern appeared and used his ring to make a protective dome around them and started to ascend out of the doomed factory with the rest of the Superheroes, Superman holding both Naruto and Flash, Wonder woman carrying Batman and Hawkgirl following close behind, getting out just as the facility exploded.

The nearby mothership started to ascend but Naruto quickly got ready with his keens bent. "Like I'd let you leave for what you did! Lantern make a ramp under me and push me towards that ship as fast as possible."

Lantern looked his way. "You got it! I just hope you know what you're doing kid!"

Instantly he pushed Naruto as fast as possible to the ship. Naruto in this time unrolled his scroll "I, Inu, Tori, Saru, Hitsuji, Kuchiyose not Jutsu!" Instantly two clones appeared that were in sage mode. Both put their palms on each of Naruto's shoulders and he entered Sage mode in a few seconds. There wasn't any difference in his appearance except that now he had red mascara on his eye lids surrounding his eyes all the way to his temple. His eyes were now gold and his pupil extended slightly making them look like a toads.

"Alright guys, time to light the victory fireworks" Naruto extended his hand forward and one of his clones started to make a swirling motion with his hands around Naruto's hand. A ball of energy stated to appear with four edges of white drag spinning like a propeller.

"TAKE THIS! Ōdama Rasenshuriken" He threw the swirling ball and pushed both his hands forward, the clones mimicking him.

The ship was already in space when the ball slammed in its side pushed by the natural energy that sage mode and his clones used to push it forward. "(BFLLTZZZZSSSSSTSZZ!)" The ball make a strange sound as it hit the ship like an exploding grenade.

"hhheeahhhheaaAAAHH!" Naruto screamed as he put more energy in the attack making the ball expand bigger and bigger until it was roughly the size of the ship.

The ship shinned white for a while until the attack finally disappeared and the ship was left mangled beyond repair. "(boom)(bom)(boomm)(BOOM)" a series of explosion started around the ship until it exploded in a display of fireworks and debris.

The clones dispersed and sage mode faded.

The superheroes were amazed by the force of the attack and explosion. John even lost his concentration and Naruto was left in freefall.

Diana shaking her shock away saw that he was falling and flew towards him grabbing him in mid air. She saw that he was weakened and placed his hand over her shoulder and used her right hand to support his back and hold his side.

"Thanks for the help." A smile made itself known on his face.

Diana smiled back at him "No problem, we wouldn't want to lose you again."

She flew him back to the group who instantly came to him. Green Lantern being the first to speak "Sorry, I didn't mean to lose you back there."

"Don't worry. I'm alright."

They watched as light began to shine again on the city and the glimpse of victory finally shined as the nightmare ended.

The heroes proceeded to take down the rest of the facilities that were scattered on the planet. Sometimes they worked separately, but most of the time they worked together.

-One month later-

The remaining invaders were either destroyed or choose to retreat from the planet. But the world was in confusion about what to do if another attack like this ever occured.

It was Batman that came with the answer.

-The Watchtower in space above the Earth-

Superman was looking out the window at the Earth with Batman who appeared behind him "Incredible, do your stock holders know about this Bruce?" he asked the masked hero.

"A line item hidden in the aerospace R&D Budget. This watchtower will act as an early warning system for detecting other threats of invasion from space."

Naruto decided to use his body flicker to appear next to Superman, spooking him a little. "Interesting, but it hasn't got any place to train."

Flash and Diana appeared with two glassed in their hands, Flash was the one to add to Naruto's comments "BUT it does have a fully stoked kitchen. Ice mocha? " he offered Superman.

"No thanks" politely declined the man of steel.

Diana taking a sip of the drink in her hand… "(Slurp)… hm, they don't have these of Themyscira."

"Stick around princess. I'll show you the ropes." Offered the Flash with a smile.

"Perhaps I will."

"An impressive installation." This time it was Green Lantern that descended from above with Hawkgirl. "Most impressive. But what's it got to do with us?"

Superman turned from their gazes and looked again at the Earth responding while walking towards the glass

"I once thought I could protect the world by myself, but I was wrong. Working together we saved the planet and I believe that if we stay together as a team we could become a force that fights for the ideals of peace and justice."

"What like a bunch of super friends?" asked the Flash getting the idea.

"More like a justice league" he said with a smile.

"Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?" voiced the Flash again. "But maybe the big man's got a point, with all of us behind it, it might just work. Count me in." he reassured putting his hand on Superman's.

"Me too" said Green Lantern approaching them and putting his hand over Flash's.

Hawkgirl followed his example "and me" placing her hand on his.

Diana looked a little uncertain "My mother may not approve, but I find man's world to be intriguing. I'll gladly join." She said with confidence placing her hand on Hawkgirl's.

Naruto just looked at them with a smirk and knew it was his turn "Hmm, I agree with Flash, about it sounding lame I mean, and you guys are like a magnet for trouble. But, what the hell, I was never a guy to turn down a challenge and, at the end of the day, if I get to face some strong bad guys, save people, kick some ass and take some names, I'm alright with it." He said which brought a smirk then placed his hand on Diana's.

Everyone looked at Batman but Superman voiced their thoughts "What about you, Batman?"

The dark knight put his head down slightly and answered "I'm not really a people person. But when you need help, and you will, call me."

"That just means that he is in, just in his own dark accent." Responded the blond with a smirk, bringing smiles from everyone.

"Understood" answered the man of steel.

Diana looked around "Wait J'onn is not here."

"Yeah, where is he?" asked the Flash.

Naruto jumped towards the high control console while Superman just flew to it. They found J'onn sitting in front of the console staring at Mars. "J'onn are you alright?" asked Superman.

"My family and loved ones are long gone. I am the last of my kind." He said with an aching heart.

Superman placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know the feeling."

"Mars is dead, and I am alone in the Universe."

Naruto didn't say anything instead his eyes were sad thinking about the feeling of being alone but decided to speak. "I know the feeling of being alone."

"But… " J'onn and Superman look at him, Naruto looked back at them with a smile "But now, I'm glad that I made some new friends. Now I don't feel so alone anymore."

Superman decided to add to him "J'onn, we can never replace the family you lost, but we'd be honored if you learn to call Earth your home."

All three of them smiled and climbed down to their future teammates that all gathered around them and started to chat..

Inside Naruto's mind Kurama smirked hearing everything that was said and seeing everything that had happened 'And now it begins. We're at the beginning of a new chapter of history. Where will this crossroad takes us. And What secrets does this Universe have to offer? Naruto, your Journey has only just begun…'

"Kage Bunshin" = "Shadow clone"

"Futon: Rasengan" = "Wind release: Spiraling sphere"

"Fūton: Renkūdan" = "Wind release: Drilling Air Bullet"

"Kuchiyose not Jutsu" = "Summoning jutsu"

"Ōdama Rasenshuriken" = "Great ball Spiraling Shuriken"

Phew that was long and hard to write, I hope you liked it. I appreciate your reviews and hope you read and comment this chapter as well. The team has been assembled and now their adventures begin. See you next time. Give me any ideas, and I will try to take them into consideration. TBC.
