Well originally I said I'd be doing a harry potter story but apparently I lied and wrote this instead. Will it be good? I hope so. Anyways I was just going through the justice league section on this site and noticed that my wife Killer Frost doesn't get enough love so I chose to rectify that by writing this. I hope you guys like it, if not then I'll just leave it up and never update it. Note I will be using the 'Assault on Arkham' Killer Frost. Anyways let's get on with it.
Another meeting was going on in the Watchtower of the Justice League. This time the senior members of the league along with some of the more powerful members were discussing recent events. Most notable in attendance was the man of steel Superman. The dark knight known as Batman. The Amazon princess Wonderwoman. The Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter.
Among them was one Naruto Uzumaki. The youngest and one of the most powerful members of the Justice League. He had started out fighting crime in Oakland California and was eventually recruited at the age of 20 by Superman. Naruto had appeared in this world from help from Sasuke after the fourth great ninja war had ended. The elemental nations feared that he and Sasuke were too powerful and in the end they left. He didn't know where Sasuke ended up, though he hoped he was happy.
Though Batman had no problem telling him that the only reason he had been accepted into the league was because of how he dealt with bad guys. Anyone he fought was basically on the brink of death by the time he was done. They'd rather have him with them rather than let him continue to paralyze anyone who committed a crime. It was obvious the man didn't like his style of fighting. The man wouldn't have lasted a day where he came from.
The topic of this meeting was what had happened last month in Gotham City and what was currently happening. The Joker had escaped Arkham -Once again- and had planted explosives all over the city. Everywhere from elementary schools, hospitals, freeways, and even some of Wayne Enterprises buildings had been targeted.
They had dealt with the Joker quickly enough but it had taken the league over three and a half hours to find and deactivate every bomb in the city. The deranged clown had still managed to kill about forty people while he was free though.
By the time it was all over Joker had been sent back to Arkham. Which brings us to the second part of this meeting.
"As of last week the Joker managed to once again break out of Arkham. We currently don't know where he is, but it's safe to say that he's planning something. He's never quiet for long." Started the Batman.
"What do you think he's going to do this time? I mean last time it was bombs so it's safe to say he's going to try and do something bigger." Came the voice of Wonderwoman.
"With the Joker there's no telling what could happen" Began superman "We're all going to have to be on our toes for the next few days until word comes up. We can't afford a repeat of what happened last time to occur once more."
Now it was time for Naruto to let his voice be heard. "Ok, I know how you guys feel about this but I honestly think this time we're going to have to kill him." He knew how the league felt about killing. They were one hundred percent against it.
In all honesty Naruto was amazed that Batman was naïve enough to believe that everyone could be redeemed. He knew that some people in this world needed to die. He always differed from the league in that regard, he had no qualms about having to kill certain individuals whereas the league would not kill anyone, regardless of how evil. This was one of the reasons Naruto was contemplating leaving the league.
He wasn't surprised when all eyes turned towards him. Batman's eyes narrowed as he looked at the young blond who didn't bother to cover his face. It's not like he had any family for the villains to target anyway.
"We're not murderers." Was the answer from the Bat.
"It's the only way that the Joker will stop, you know that."
At this point superman interrupted "Naruto killing him would make us just as bad as him. We do not kill."
Black Canary decided to throw her two cents into the matter. "You know that's not how we work, we take them down and let the authorities handle it."
"That is how you work, you do kill. By letting the Joker run around causing havoc and killing as he pleases you're just as guilty as he is. You know that you can stop him permanently but you decide not to as to not ruin your image."
It felt good saying that. He'd kept that to himself since he joined them and it was finally out in the open, it was something they needed to hear. In the beginning he was pretty happy to be part of such an organization dedicated to protecting the innocent. Though he quickly learned that they had different ideas on how to go about doing it. Even now, two years later at twenty-two they still held their beliefs.
Seeing things starting to heat up Green Lantern stood and got everyone's attention. "Now just relax son, let's be rational about this. Yes, the Joker may be evil but he's still a person. We are not the ones who decide who gets to live and who dies."
"By that logic you're saying that the Joker shouldn't be killed. You're deciding that he should live. You're contradicting yourself aren't you? I know you guys don't want to hear it but some people need to die for the world to be a better place.
Without people like the Joker the citizens would feel safer walking outside at night, they wouldn't have to worry about damn near barricading their doors when they go to sleep."
As Naruto was going on Batman thought that those words sounded similar to someone he knew. Someone who happened to be the leader of the league of shadows.
Before anyone could get another word in the alarm went off indicating trouble. As the old saying goes 'speak of the devil and he shall appear' the Joker had been spotted in Gotham with his laughing gas.
"We'll continue this later for now get ready we need to move out." Ordered Batman. Naruto however didn't move from his seat.
"How are we going to deal with him?"
"We stop whatever it is he's doing and send him back to Arkham."
"In that case you guys go without me, I'm not going."
No matter who tried to talk him into going to help he refused. He no longer saw the point in locking the man up if in a week or so he'd be free once more. In a matter of minutes, the watchtower was empty.
"I can't do this anymore. This isn't how I imagined things would be when I joined two years ago, they don't want to accept the fact that they need to kill some people in order to protect everyone else.
Even though I've made some friends here it's time for me to leave. But in order to do that, I'll need to plan. I'll need a base of operations, as well as members who would be willing to join me. Though I'd have to get those elsewhere. Everybody in the league has the same type of no kill mentality." He thought to himself from his seat.
Two weeks passed since then and Naruto made sure to act as his usual self. He continued going on missions with several different league members to keep his image up. His patience paid off as one-day Batman got a call from Robin who was talking about a problem with Slade.
Naruto knew he was referring to someone he knew very well. Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke. No one in the league knew that when Naruto had arrived Deathstroke was the one who first found him and told him everything he needed to know about this world.
They got along well enough as they had much in common. Deathstroke killed people for money which is basically what ninja's back in his home did. Naruto also knew what had happened to the man's family.
With that in mind he had his first potential recruit for his new team.
The following day Naruto headed for Jump City though he did it discreetly as to make sure that no one saw him. He didn't need to worry about Batman tracking him as he'd long since removed the tracker that he had tried to put on him.
He appeared in front of a giant home in a well off neighborhood and rang the doorbell. Opening the door was a man with a muscular build. He had black hair along with a black goatee as well as a black eye patch covering his right eye.
"Naruto good to see you again, come in." The man ushered. "So what brings you here today? Drink?" he asked as he began to get himself a beverage.
"No thanks not this time. I'm here for another reason." He took a deep breath "You were right. When I joined the Justice League I figured they would know how to deal with certain people but even now they refuse to do what is necessary."
"I told you kid, I didn't try and stop you from joining because firstly I'm not your dad to make that decision. Secondly you wanted to make a difference and thought that this would make it happen so I told you to go for it. Only now are you finding out that not everyone sees the world the same way you and I do.
They're too set on their ways to do what needs to be done. Which leads me to another question, why are you here? I know it wasn't just to talk about your problems." Deathstroke says while taking a sip of his drink.
Ever since he met Naruto five years ago when the boy was seventeen they had immediately gotten along well. Maybe it's because they could relate to each other in some way. His family basically fell apart and from what Naruto said those he held dear turned on him. Naruto stuck around for about a year before heading to Oakland to fight crime. He had been the first one he told when he had been recruited to the Justice League.
He knew it wouldn't last as they were too different but he figured the kid needed to learn for himself.
"I've decided to leave the league. I'm going to start my own group dedicated to actually protecting people. Even if it means getting my hands dirty to do it." He explained
"And what do you need of me?" Deathstroke asked intrigued. He knew one day Naruto would leave as his ideals differed from those like Superman and Batman, but he didn't think he would go and start his own group.
"A few things if you're willing to listen." A nod was his answer "I need to know if you have any abandoned headquarters you used to use. That and I want to know if you're interested in joining me. You did say that you didn't do work for hire right? That you decide who needs to die?
In essence that's what I'm doing. I'm going to put together a group of the strongest people I can find and form a group to do what the Justice League can't."
"You know that some people will look at you like the villain."
"I know, but in the end everyone will be able to rest assured that their cities are safe for their children once again."
Deathstroke sat quietly taking in all the information given to him. The boy was obviously going to go through with this if he had put this much thought into it. He had originally decided to live a calm life but he knew that would never happen.
He knew of the power Naruto wielded. Even the Justice League didn't know the true extent of his powers. He was quite interested in seeing how far Naruto would be able to go in his quest to rid the world of evil.
"I may have a few places that you can use if you like. As for myself, I think I'll take up your offer and see what happens. Though I'm curious about something. Who else did you have in mind to get to join you?"
"First I thought to see if anyone from the league would join, but I quickly threw that plan out the window. Everyone there has too similar beliefs so I'm going to go with some less than reputable characters. They're considered evil but these I find to be more self-interested than actually evil."
"And who would those be?"
"Poison Ivy, Sinestro, Black Spider, Mr. Freeze, possibly scarecrow, T.O Morrow, Merlyn, Deadshot, and finally Killer Frost. Eventually I plan to add more but for now these will do until I'm set up."
Deathstroke raised an eyebrow at some of the people Naruto had listed. "How do you plan on recruiting them. That's a pretty impressive list of people you chose."
"I know where they're keeping Sinestro I'm sure I can talk him into helping me. I know I have the means to heal Mr. Freeze's wife so that should be more than enough motivation for him to join. Frost, I'll promise to bust her out of prison as well as having her get rid of some people. I know she won't mind. As for the rest, I'll wing it but I'm more than certain I can persuade them."
The two spent the rest of their time going over locations that Slade had available as well as just reminiscing about the past. Two hours later just before Naruto left he paused when he heard Deathstroke speak once more.
"You never told me when you were planning on leaving the League."
"Most likely within the week. I've heard that Clayface is going to make an appearance soon. I plan to take him out permanently. I'm sure the news will cover it as soon as it happens. When it does I'll be at the base and wait for your arrival." He left the house.
Turns out that it was true, Clayface had indeed showed up and was now robbing a jewelry store. He had already killed three police officers that tried to stop him. The league sent himself, Hawkgirl, as well as Black Canary.
Canary used her cry to force Clayface to drop the jewels and cover his ears. In that time Hawkgirl flew forward and used her mace to swing at him right in the face. Naruto was honestly surprised that had worked, he was sure it would just hit goo.
All the while the camera crews from the various TV stations were filming the entire debacle from a distance. He knew now was the time to act.
He dashed behind the downed Clayface and forced him to his knees while pulling his hands behind his back.
"Good work, now let's hand him over to the police and get back. I'm starving" Said Black Canary as she watched the young man detain Clayface. Or so she thought, everyone watched as Naruto manifested a black rod from his hand and pierced the man's head with it.
Everyone stood in silence as they saw the villain turn into dust.
"What did you do?" Asked an angry Hawkgirl gripping her mace.
"I'm sending a message. I'm done with the League, from now on any villain who kills innocents just like that will be permanently dealt with. No more Arkham, no more chances." With that he took off to the skies. Though he didn't count on Hawkgirl chasing him down.
She swung her mace at him and he smacked it aside with his bare hand before delivering a spinning kick which sent her out of the sky. While she was falling he left. It was time to begin his plans.
xxxxxxx
"So you went through with it after all." Came the voice of Deathstroke as he walked through the giant metal doors of the headquarters.
"I told you I would. No doubt that the League is going to have a meeting immediately about what to do with me. I'm going to take this time to head to Arkham and begin the recruitment process, starting with Killer Frost."
"Why Killer Frost?"
"She'll be the easiest. They have her in a room at a temperature just above what would be considered fatal to her. A promise of releasing her as well as allowing her to kill those I tell her and she'll join right away. I take it you know how to get in contact with Deadshot?"
The man nodded. "Good, please do so. Tell him I want to talk to him."
"Time to go get my new member." With that Naruto left the base and flew in the direction of Arkham while using his invisibility Jutsu as to not be spotted.
"Ok so I tried my hand at a Justice League story. I thought it was pretty good and I'm hoping that you guys do too. If there's something that just never sat right with me was the whole 'no killing' thing. They could easily make the world a better place by doing it. Anyways I think I've only seen one story where Naruto was a former member of the Justice League.
Note that this story will NOT be a Harem. It is strictly Naruto x Killer Frost (Assault on Arkham version). In this story Naruto is currently twenty-two while Killer Frost is twenty-five. Anyways what did you guys think? Good? Trash? Should I stop while I'm ahead? Should I rewrite it? Let me know. Please give me some suggestions as to what you guys would like to see as that usually leads to good ideas and happy readers. I'll catch you guys later.
