Chapter 11: Poozers, Passion, and Perverts


~~Oa~~

"Yo, Poozer!" Kilowag called to the blonde walking towards him, his hand resting on a redhead stranger's shoulder, "We gotta problem."

"What's wrong, Kilowag-sensei?" Naruto asked, his grip on Gaara's shoulder tight enough to keep the unstable redhead near him and yet loose enough to keep his new friend comfortable. The redhead had been awed by being on another planet, even his tenant was shocked into silence. This caused Gaara to wonder if his Nindo was even right, and it made the biju within him curious about the blonde jinchuriki's power.

Kilowag noticed the awed stare he was receiving from the redhead and snorted, "Sumthin' on my face, Punk?"

Gaara felt the same energy, with lesser amount, radiating off this being that came from the blonde that silenced his 'mother'. He felt, as much as it pained him to admit it, weak compared to the pink monstrosity before him. Before he could reply, Naruto spoke in his defense, "Ah, leave him alone, Kilowag-sensei! Gaara's cool...just...just a little sick is all."

"Humph, whatever Poozer," Kilowag said with disinterest before he looked back at the blonde, "But speaking of you, you's got a big problem. Four, maybe Five, of the Light Spectrum are in your system. Arisia has defected, a Searthling has discovered the Blue Light, and Karu-Sil has reportedly gone missing."

"How do you know about Karu-Sil's status?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes. Kilowag frowned and crossed his arms before scowling as he spoke.

"The Guardians have made a small truce with the otha Corps...Not dat I approve," the pink skinned alien replied, "The Green Lanterns don't need anyone's help."

"It's thoughts like that that made Sinestro turn, Kilowag," an older male's voice said. Naruto turned to see the famed 'Greatest Green Lantern' Hal Jordan walking over to them. Quickly, the blonde fell into a salute, releasing Gaara's shoulder.

"Lantern of Sector 2815, Naruto Uzumaki, reporting for duty Hal Jordan-sama!" he exclaimed with the tone of a disciplined soldier. Kilowag smirked as Hal sighed, the white-gloved hand going to pinch the bridge of his masked nose.

"God, I hate it when others call me some sort of royalty...It's just Hal, kid," Hal said with a hint of exasperation before offering his right hand, "Hal Jordan of Sector 2814. Nice to meet ya."

Naruto eagerly shook the man's hand, already being familiar with the man's accomplishments as a Lantern, making the man before him on par with his father on his internal List of Heroes. Right now, Hal and his father were tied, only due to the fact that his dad sealed that bastard Fox inside of him and Hal he'd only heard stories about from his teacher and his friend.

"Nice to meet you too, Hal," Naruto said, struggling to say the name correctly, "I've heard a lot about you from Arisia-chan, er, Arisia-taichou!"

Hal blinked at that name as he took his hand back, "Arisia? As in, Arisia Rrab?"

"Yeah! Arisia-taichou was my leader and she showed me how Lanterns should work in their system. I hadn't gotten enough experience to work outside my planet, but now that she's a Star Sapphire..." Naruto trailed off as his thoughts went to earlier when the girl climbed into the shower with him and his face flushed from embarrassment.

"Star Sapphire! What? When did this happen?" Hal suddenly asked, grabbing the teen by his shoulders, "Has she managed to crystalize a planet?"

"Wh-What?" Naruto asked in confusion as the elder Lantern slightly shook him, much to Kilowag's amusement, "No! Crystalize...the most she's done is help me fight a Sinestro Corps Member...and, um...never mind..."

Hal blinked in confusion as the teen suddenly averted his gaze and his face turned a shade redder. The Lantern blinked a few times before grinning widely and eyeing Kilowag, who was also smirking in amusement. He released the teen's shoulders and crossed his arms over his chest before he spoke, "So...She's determined that you're her Light's Source, huh?"

"Her Light what-now?" Naruto asked with a confused blink as his face remained red. Hal and Kilowag continued to grin as the blonde scratched his head and turned to Gaara, "Hey Gaara, do you know what he mean-Gaara? Gaara? Where'd you go?"

The three Lanterns found themselves looking around for a redheaded teen that had suddenly vanished. Unknown to them, he vanished the moment Naruto released the teen's shoulder, and it was because the energy that took him mimicked a Green Lantern's Willpower.


~~~Unknown Sector/Planet~~~

Gaara nervously looked around as he woke up from the transporting. He remembers seeing a flash of purple before leaving the planet he was on with his new acquaintance. The woman before him had a dark skin tone and purple tribal markings. She had no hair atop her head and she wore practically nothing without any hint of shame. An indigo staff was in her left hand and her purple eyes watched him with a hint of an unknown emotion.

"Iu nu sol kur sor ur to?" the woman spoke in a strange tongue and Gaara blinked before he spoke.

"Who are you and where are we?" he asked, standing with a wince, his hand going to his arm. The woman placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and pursed her lips, allowing her to examine the circle around her navel. It had two arrow-like shapes pointing up and mirrored on the opposite side pointing down. Like the rest of her markings, it was indigo. Gaara was starting to sense a pattern.

"I asked if you were unharmed, Sabaku no Gaara," the woman said, shocking the young man with her immediate understanding and use of his language. The fact she also showed interest in his condition and well-being made Gaara even more surprised.

"H-How do you know my name?" the redhead asked, taking a precautionary step back and falling into a sloppy stance. The woman tilted her head, studying him before giving him a soft smile.

"We have been watching your planet for some time now. Your Green Lantern, Uzumaki Naruto, was a candidate for our Tribe, but he was recruited...it was through him we found you," the woman answered, making him relax with her tone, "A strange boy, one who shows no emotions. Or rather, does not know emotions...When Uzumaki released your humanity from your entity's hold; we discovered a large amount of Compassion buried deep within you. We couldn't allow the Lanterns to gain another as gifted as you."

"You said you were from a Tribe like Uzumaki?" Gaara asked, curious about the woman before him. She nodded, offering him her hand, which he hesitantly took.

"I tossed my name away in order to join the Tribe, like many of my brothers and sisters have, but you may call me Indigo-1," the now named Indigo-1 said, "I am of the Indigo Tribe. We use the Indigo Light of Compassion."

"Compassion? I-I don't understand..." Gaara mused with confusion. The woman placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a motherly smile.

"I know," she replied, before bringing her staff across their line of vision and waved it, making the bleak sight of an endless space shimmer away as hundreds more strange beings appeared before the jinchuriki of Shukaku, his tanuki-like eyes widening as he realized they were all covered in the same tribal markings as Indigo-1. The woman continued as she put her arm around his shoulders, hugging him maternally, "We will help you, Sabaku no Gaara."


~~Searth~~

"Where's Niisan/Naruto?" Hikari and Arisia asked simultaneously to the senbon chewing referee. Genma sighed, not prepared to deal with two unknown Lanterns. The Jonin was aware of their existence, as all were briefed by the Hokage about their planet's new protector, but he was not entirely positive as to what the audience witnessed. However, due to the sudden vanishing, the Sandaime was able to apprehend the traitorous Orochimaru before he could strike and the two Lanterns present took the awed and disorganized invasion forces out quickly, one due to her worried state, and the other due to her seemingly innocent appearance.

"I've told you for the thousandth time, I DON'T KNOW!" Genma said with a sigh, rubbing his head, "Look, I'll help you find the kid later, let me go do my job and continue the exams! We've got a lot of royalty here and keeping them entertained is a priority!"

"I DON'T CARE!" Arisia snarled, grabbing the jonin by his flak jacket and pulling him down to her eye level, "You listen to me, ninja-boy, either you find Naruto, or I'm going to entertain these royal pricks by pulling a rabbit out of your ass! Remember who just saved this village from an invasion."

"...You know, I think the Hyuuga may know what happened to him. I'll be right back," Genma managed to get out before vanishing in a swirl of leaves. Arisia huffed and crossed her arms under her ample chest, looking at a highly amused Blue Lantern with an arched brow.

"What?" she asked.

Hikari giggled and innocently laced her hands behind her back, smiling up at her brother's love-interest, before replying, "You and I both know Naruto-niisan is on Oa...Why'd ya overreact like that? Genma-san could've done his job until Naruto-niisan returned."

"I didn't overreact," Arisia pouted to the younger girl before looking at the sky and hugging herself, "I just...I want to know why they summoned Naruto...The Guardians never summon Lanterns unless something big is happening."

"Niisan will be back soon, I'm sure of it." And she had a good reason to be. Her Corps' Leader, Ganthet, had already sent word to the scattered Blue Lanterns about Larfleeze's sudden disappearance from his designated system. She wasn't ready to reveal this information to Arisia, as she was sure the Star Sapphire wouldn't focus until her Lantern returned. In fact, the only thing keeping Arisia from running off to Oa and taking him would be the hint Hikari dropped that the blonde would have to come back. The little girl smiled, glad that her innocent persona hid her true knowledge.

Arisia smiled down at the Blue Lantern and hugged her, "Thank you, Hikari."

"You're welcome, Arisia-neechan!" Hikari replied with a wide smile. Arisia backed away from the girl and arched a delicate brow in curiosity. The young girl, noticing the golden skinned girl's confusion at her suffix, smiled and explained, "I see you as an older sister, so I call you Neechan."

"Ohh," Arisia replied with understanding before smiling sweetly, "and what would I call my younger sister, then?"

"Imouto!" a voice shouted before Hikari could reply. Arisia and Hikari both turned and beamed when they saw a familiar green eyed blonde wearing black and green. Before he could approach them, or vice versa, a group of men wearing blank ANBU masks with marks on them surrounded him and held blades at his throat.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Naruto deadpanned as the three men stared blankly at him from behind their masks. Noticing they weren't going to move out of the way anytime soon, Naruto sighed and rolled his neck before smirking, "Fine. Be that way. I'm sick of this, Danzo-teme. This is my last time playing nice."

Holding his ring out, the three men all tensed as the blonde's eyes glowed green and a large green Nine-Tailed Fox emerged from his ring. Floating up to land on its head, Naruto glared down at the surprised men before looking around at the shocked witnesses to his abilities. Remembering his duty, Naruto spoke towards the men, "By order 273.834 of the Guardians of the Universe, I, Uzumaki Naruto, Green Lantern of Sector 2815 of the Universe, am placing you under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to a representative. You have the right to fight back. Do whatever you want, because either way...I get to kick your ass!"

The three men all jumped away as three tails shot down at them, attempting to flatten them beneath their surprising weight. The men all prepared to attack when a large red toad landed on them, crushing them instantly. The green clad blonde blinked as a white haired man with red tear-like marks going down his cheeks stared at him, before a small smile came across his face. Naruto dismissed his large fox just as the older man dismissed his toad and both landed a couple of feet away from the now deceased attackers.

"Well look at you...All grown up and a ninja of Konoha," the man said with a grin, "Your parent's would be proud..."

Naruto arched a brow and dismissed his face-mask, asking, "Do I know you?"

The white haired man sighed and scratched his head, "No...But you should've...Ya see, Naruto...I'm sort of your...godfather."

"Oh ok-Wait, whoa-whoa-whoa! Hold up! Time out!" Naruto exclaimed with his hands forming a T before pointing at the man, "You're my goddamn godfather? Where the hell were you all these years?"

The man sighed again, "It's a long story kid..."

"Make time!" Naruto growled, his ring manifesting several foxes, "Before I decide to turn a blind eye and-"

His threat was cut off by the sapphire light that slammed into him, revealing a yellow skinned girl pulling the blonde into a tight hug and kissing him heatedly. Naruto's face turned a dark shade of red when Arisia released him and pulled him into a bone crushing hug before he could ask what that was about.

"Thank the Maker," Arisia whispered as she clung to the very confused Lantern, "Don't do that again..."

"A-Arisia-t-taichou?" Naruto asked as he escaped her grip, but keeping her at an arms' length, "I'm fine...uh, so..."

"WAY TO GO, GAKI!" the white haired man suddenly exclaimed, earning the two teens' attention as he was scribbling furiously in a white notepad, "Badass costume, check! Shinobi of Konoha, check! Smoking hot girlfriend (a lot like your father in that instance anyway), that's a check! It's official! You're my next resource!"

"Huh?" Naruto asked, turning to face the man who had proclaimed himself his godfather, "Whoa, whoa, whoa...Back up! What do you mean resource? And are you really my godfather? What the hell is your name? Why are you bleeding from the nose?"

The white haired man blinked, ignoring the last question, before grinning widely and going into a rather unique dance, which involved hopping to the left on one foot, as he exclaimed: "From Mt. Myoboku, the ultimate Ladies' Man, Sensei to the Yondaime, esteemed Author Extraordinaire, and the Gama Sennin of Konohagakure no Sato! I am the infamous Jiraiya of the Sanin!"

Naruto, Arisia, and even Kari stared blankly as he finished in a strange pose while standing atop a large toad nearly the size of a lazy boy chair. The man remained in that pose before sighing heavily, an aura of depression radiating from him, and he spoke, "Name's Jiraiya, kid. Man, that usually gets sparkles in the eyes or makes women swoon...maybe I need a new move?"

As the now known Jiraiya began musing over a new introduction dance with his toad, Naruto gaped at his so-called godfather before clapping a hand to his face in embarrassment. With a grumble, the Lantern of the Leaf said, "Great! My only family is clinically insane...What's next, Agent Orange decides to show up?"

"Agent Orange?" the two girls standing next to him chorused. Naruto blinked before looking at them and sighing, running a hand through his hair.

"Right...you probably weren't informed," the blonde mumbled before dismissing his mask and speaking with seriousness in his voice, "The Guardians have informed me that another Lantern could be in our sector."

At their shocked eyes, Naruto exclaimed while throwing his arms out, "I know, right? What's so great about our sector anyway? Aside from our badass-ness..."

"Ne, Naruto-niisan, I don't think that's a word," Kari chimed, innocently lacing her hands behind her back, "What's the new Lantern anyway?"

"Oh, right," Naruto got back on track with a shake of his head, unaware of the white haired Sanin listening in, "Well, it seems that this Lantern wields the Orange light of Avarice...makes me kinda sad, actually...Orange is the color of the Gods!"

The Green Lantern hung his head and sniffled sadly, getting a sympathetic hug from his Star Sapphire counterpart, who not too subtly squeezed a certain portion on the blonde. Naruto yelped and jumped back, rubbing his pinched posterior and gaping at the seductively-yet-innocent look he was receiving from his former teacher. A perverted giggle came from behind him, making Naruto look back at the eagerly writing Jiraiya.

"Kid, you're so damn lucky it's not funny," the man said with a smirk, "I wish I had a girl that'd pinch me to make me feel better..."

Naruto scowled and crossed his arms, his gauntlet materializing a large hand that began counting off fingers, "First off, Arisia-taichou isn't my girlfriend...she's a friend that happens to be a girl. Secondly, that's wrong on so many levels that I'm not even going to comment on it anymore. Thirdly, Kari-chan is too young to hear about that sort of thing, so stop it with the nasty comments!" Kari giggled at the protective behavior. "And finally, what the hell are you scribbling?"

Jiraiya blinked at seeing the manifested hand before looking back at his notes with a perverted smile, writing a few certain notes about how the hero would use his 'light' to 'battle' the heroin's 'inner flame'. Naruto, with a twitch in his eye at being ignored, lifted his gauntleted hand out and forged a fist, slamming it into the top of the Sanin's head as he exclaimed, "Oi! Answer your 'godson'!"

"Stupid disrespectful brats..." Jiraiya grumbled as he rubbed his head before reaching into his pocket and pulling out an orange book. Naruto's jaw popped open and his arms fell to his sides as he stared at the very familiar book in his godfather's hands. The white haired Sanin grinned with pride and tossed the book to Naruto, who recoiled from it and glared daggers at the literature on the ground. Looking back at the older man, Naruto pointed at him and spoke through gritted teeth.

"You...You wrote that...that...book?" Naruto asked with a twitch in his right eye.

"I sure did! Didn't think you'd have read it though...it's not meant for children anyway..."

"I DIDN'T READ THAT! I HAD TO DEAL WITH A MAN WHO DOES NOTHING BUT READ THAT!"

"Oh, OH! Kakashi's still reading issue one, huh? What a loyal fan, you could take a lesson or two from him, gaki."

"I will never read that book."

"Never say never kid."

"...You're an Ero-sennin!"

"Oi! Why're you calling me that?"

"You're an author of a porn series!"

"It's adult literature."

"It's got threesomes, ATM-"

"HA! You have read it!"

"It was two-years-ago! I found it on my doorstep along with Gama-chan-"

"You can thank me now."

"I should have known!"

"Uh, Naruto...what's a boo-cake-kay?" Arisia suddenly butt in to the argument, getting the two's attention. Naruto was saddened to see the Seductress of the Sapphire Light leafing through the pages of his (apparent) perverted godfather's book. Naruto wanted to break down and cry right there as the golden skinned girl kept looking from the book to him while his godfather had a completely different approach to Arisia's newfound choice in literature.

"Like I said, Naruto," Jiraiya said with a smirk as he lightly patted his distressed godson on the shoulder, "You can thank me now."

"I hate you, Ero-sennin."


AN: I couldn't help it. Jiraiya had to be introduced and Arisia's newfound state-of-mind (which is completely OOC for a Star Sapphire but I think it's hilarious) combined with her more bold actions towards Naruto would be a great way to end this chapter. So next time I might introduce Larfleeze...and I might have Jiraiya annoy Naruto with innuendos. No more secrets revealed though. Bye-bye now, talk to you guys whenever!

Oh, and Review peeps!
