Chapter 2: Transition


10 months later, April 4 2010

Wonder Woman's apartment

Washington, DC

Naruto sat on a couch reading the Art of War by Sun Tzu, the past six months had been extremely boring. Wonder Woman had told him that he wasn't allowed in the justice league until he turned 18 years old and he had to be home-schooled at the Wayne Manor. However that wasn't a problem considering Naruto's speed reading and vast telepathy it was pretty easy for him to recall everything he read, it took him a while to understand a few things like Physics but his tutor had stated that Naruto could easily reach the level of people his age in a few more months.

He however was allowed to train with Wonder Woman and the two would spar for hours, it was a fact that they were even in hand to hand combat and weapon proficiency making each of their spar extremely competitive. So far it was 30 to Naruto and 29 to Wonder Woman. He did however question the rule the Justice League had on not killing their enemies, he didn't understand the purpose of leaving a foe alive if he was a murderer but since he was dependant on them, he would just follow the rule for now.

However considering that most of Wonder Woman's fights involved going to Greece, it was no surprise that no one even knew of him apart from the occupants of Greece. He had been shown once or twice helping Wonder Woman defeat Cheetah but that was all really, he was getting antsy at not being able to fight a worthy foe.

Of course there were positives since Batman said it made him better at covert missions as he would stay under the radar of major villains. Naruto sighed as he finished the last page of the book, he threw the book to the side and walked towards the kitchen to get himself a drink when heard Wonder Woman's TV switch on. Batman's face appeared, "Kage…Hal Jordon requires your assistance in Coast City...Coordinates will be sent your visor."

"Right...I am on it." His body glowed an ethereal gold as one of the seals on his chest summoned his new armoured costume. Naruto still had the same body armour except he now had a black metallic mask that had a red visor on it. Batman said it would be wise for Naruto to have a navigating system since he didn't know the exact the map of America and would simply get lost. However unknown to Naruto Batman had a secret agenda which was to analyse Naruto's fights and make a contignecy file against Naruto if he decided to go rogue.

Naruto flew out of the penthouse and towards his target with speeds equalling that of lightning.

Meanwhile Hal Jordan was fighting Sinestro and the two were equally matched however the tides changed when Solomon Grundy showed up. It suddenly became 2 on 1 and he called for backup but most of the league were already fighting their own foes so he was going to get backup in the form of his favourite teenager, Uzumaki Naruto or as everyone else knew him Kage. He dodged to the side as Grundy threw a car but was hit in his back by a beam from Sinestro. Hal was sent crashing into the ground and was about to get hit by Grundy when all of a sudden a blur smashed into Grundy with such force that it drove him through several buildings.

Grundy landed in Coast City park with Naruto floating over him, Naruto said calmly "Give up you grey monster."

Grundy shouted, "Grundy kill armour boy." Grundy jumped and tried to tackle but Naruto dodged and cut him across the chest with Kusanagi.

Naruto smirked "This is my blade Kusanagi…It can cut the strongest of beings and you are from having such a status but you will be enough to entertain me for now." Naruto sheathed his sword and said "Come beast…I will fight you with my fists." Naruto flew towards the standing Grundy and delivered a punch that shattered its jaw but watched as it healed with ease. Naruto grinned "Yes you will be a worthwhile foe." He appeared beneath Grundy who was clueless as to where Naruto had vanished and delivered an uppercut that sent him soaring into the air. Naruto merely used his gravity powers to send Grundy spiralling downwards into the ground

Grundy hit the ground hard enough to make a massive crater however he only had minimal damage. Naruto watched as the beast rose with an enraged face before it charged at him. Naruto let the beast hit him with a massive hook that sent him flying into the water fountain. Naruto rose from the water unharmed and his red visor turned flashed blue as Naruto fired a massive beam of blue energy from his eyes that knocked Grundy back a hundreds of metres.

Grundy roared but Naruto shook his head, "You've gotten boring beast…Its time to end you." He flew towards the beast and struck a flat palm that hit Grundy in the middle of the chest making him stumble. Naruto performed a tiger hand seal and muttered "Fuinjutsu: Prison Seal." Fuinjutsu marks spread all over Grundy's body immobilising the beast.

Naruto said "I'll leave you here for the police…I hope that next time we meet you will give me a better fight." Naruto saw Hal Jordan fly towards him, Hal shouted "Great job Naruto although you could have done with less collateral damage."

Naruto snorted "Where is the fun with that…So where did Sinestro go?"

Hal Jordan replied "He left via a portal, he wasn't expecting for me to have back up."

Naruto said "Well I should be heading back; Diana will have my head if I don't get to the penthouse for dinner."

Hal laughed "She has you whipped man…It's like you two are dating."

Naruto retorted "She has a boyfriend remember…Superman."

Hal shrugged "Yes yes the Boy Scout managed to bag an Amazon but for a long time their relationship has been strained. Nearly every hero in the watchtower betted on how long they would last, I still say that won't even last the rest of the year."

Naruto replied "Well they seemed pretty good to me this morning…Got to go Jordan." Hal waved bye as he saw Naruto blast into the air travelling at transonic speeds towards Washington DC.

Diana's Apartment

Naruto flew through the open window and saw Diana sitting on the couch talking to Superman through Skype. Naruto landed softly and Diana looked at her protégé and asked "Where did you go."

Naruto replied "Coast City…Fought Grundy, he was an interesting beast."

Diana said "There's some Lasagne in the oven if you want some food."

Naruto grinned "Thanks…I'll eat it later..."

Wonder Woman merely nodded and returned to her conversation with her boyfriend. Naruto looked back at his mentor with a frown, he didn't understand what she saw in the Kryptonian but he dare not say his opinion in front of her.

Next day

April 5 2010

Naruto walked out of the Wayne Manor with Alfred Pennyworth who was the loyal butler for the Wayne Family. Alfred spoke "Same time tomorrow Master Uzumaki."

Naruto wore a black muscle shirt and leather jacket with a pair of blue jeans. He wore a heavy backpack that contained all of his books. Naruto said "Thank you Alfred."

Naruto blasted himself into the air using clouds as cover travelling at a cruising speed of 400 miles per hour, his telescopic eyesight allowing him to see the dark city known as Gotham. Gotham was an infamous city known for having the highest crime rates in all categories from theft to mass murder It was a haven for criminals, mercenaries and corrupt government officials and the increase in metahuman villains like Poison Ivy and Clayface didn't help.

Naruto suddenly heard a scream from downwards and the mental laughter that followed sounded feminine, he spun him towards the direction of the sound before diving with enough speed to surpass that of a bullet twice.

Down at Gotham Docks

Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy laughed as plants held onto to a female cop "You came at the wrong time darling…We were just about to steal some expensive shipment."

The cop screamed as Harley Quinn drew a gun but before she could pull the trigger, a massive amount of Gravity pushed them to the ground. Naruto hit the ground, his voice dark as he spoke "You will not be killing anyone today."

Catwoman looked at the teen curiously and she could tell he would kill them in an instant however Harley jumped and tried to clobber Naruto with a bat. Naruto grabbed her and threw her straight at a container almost as if she was a mere ball to him. She hit the metal container with her head and dented it before slumping unconscious.

Naruto's grin didn't leave his face, "She won't remember any of this…Now who else wants to get beaten."

Poison Ivy looked at him "Your strong…Why are you on the sides of the angels."

Naruto grinned turned demonic "Oh darling…Me on the side of the angels. You don't know me at all? " He charged at her but was stopped by a Bat rang. He turned and saw Batman looking at him, the man shook his head telling Naruto he would handle it. Naruto smiled "Well that's my cue girls…Hopefully we won't see each other under such unpleasant circumstances."

Batcave

Bruce replayed the fight between Grundy and Naruto, he typed a few things in to his Batcomputer and the face of Silas Stone appeared on the gigantic screen. Silas asked "Batman…I suppose you want the data from what Grundy was restricted with,".

Batman merely nodded, Silas continued "Well from what I can deduce is that the boy used an unknown energy to induce the immobilisation. However I found that in the middle of Grundy's chest there was text written in Japanese and translated as Prison or something. "

Batman asked "Have you studied the energy."

Silas answered "Well we only had residual energy to work with but from what we can see it is unlike any energy we have encountered. The closest it resembles is Chi from the ancient texts and the energy that the New Gods use for their powers however it functions as a energy source that can be converted into other types of energy like thermal or electrical energy."

Batman scratched his chin, "So what you're saying is that this energy has many applications.

Silas nodded, "Yes …It could enhance a human's current condition and make them high supernatural in terms of physical aspect. The person who managed to seal Grundy has only scratched the surface of what his energy could do and I am pretty sure he doesn't know how to use it properly yet.."

Batman replied "Thank you for the information Dr Stone. I'll be sure to contact you if you something else comes up." The screen switched off and Bruce sighed in his seat, Alfred asked "Sir, are you still spying on Master Uzumaki."

Bruce replied "Yes…His powers are a secret to all of us and he continues to slowly show more and more of his abilities." He pressed a button and two Meta humans appeared on the screen, "These are the youngest metahumans that I have classified as planetary level threats."

Alfred read them out, "Severe threat level: Supergirl, Kid Flash and Kage."

Bruce nodded "Supergirl has the potential to become as strong as her cousin and Kage has proved he could he go in a fist fight with Wonder Woman and beat her in all categories with the exception of experience. His gravity powers allow him to increase his super strength by making things light. Supergirl may be in the Justice League but she is far from being mature and Kage is getting antsy sitting and learning all day long his fight with Grundy proved that."

Alfred sighed "If I may Master Bruce why don't you simply allow Naruto to join the Justice League by all means he is capable of fighting the foes of both Wonder Woman and Superman."

Bruce leaned to his chair and replied "Surprisingly many have voted Naruto to not be allowed to join the league until such a time that Wonder Woman and the rest of the original team members agree that he is ready."

Alfred shook his head "Naruto is a warrior and an idle warriors are always irritable, he wants to fight someone strong as that is the way he was brought up. I am sure what could happen If you he finds out that you and the other leaguers are extensively studying each of his moves."

Bruce answered "He will turn and might become our worst enemy. I am sure many other people have taken an interest at Kage and his powers. Kage isn't affiliated with the Justice League so he could leave if he was given a proposition by one of our enemies like Lex Luthor or worse Amanda Waller.."

Alfred checked his watch, "Now if you excuse me Sir, I'll be bringing Master Dick from his school." Alfred excused himself and walked out of the batcave towards the garage.

Brice sighed as he looked at the screen; he had a lot of thinking to do on the question that was ringing in his head. What does he do with Uzumaki Naruto, Diana's missions usually involved her travelling to Thymesicara but Naruto swore never to enter a place that the Greek Gods have full jurisdiction over. It was pure blasphemy if a child of the Shinto entered the lands of the Greek God. So Naruto usually stayed in Washington where the only villain over there was the mysterious Amanda Waller.

So Bruce thought of a way to ease all these young sidekicks into the Justice League, first step was to take them to the Hall of Justice and from there allow them to work in a few low profile missions. Now the only question that remained was which sidekicks would join Kage.


A/N: Really short chapter that was made to show how Naruto was fitting in the real world but from next chapter onwards will be the beginning of Young Justice and the chapters will be around 5-6K.

I also have a lot of people asking me as to how exactly Naruto is as strong superman and that I have made his powers weak to be a main powerhouse in the Justice League however I would like to remind you that this is a Young Justice hence it will be more of a story that focuses on Naruto developing his already existing power set into something godly

Anyway here is a really detailed version of Naruto's biography. I kind of missed a few powers and abilities before hand and didn't really explain his abilities clearly enough

His body can withstand Darkseid' s beam which can turn a normal human to ash even though it would still harm him to an extent.

Healing factor and Immortality: Naruto has an immense healing factor allowing him to regenerate missing organs and limbs in a few seconds. This then gives him a form of immortality which means he won't age after his body stops growing and reaches its prime.

Gravity manipulation: By manipulating gravitons and antigravitons Naruto can produce a variety of effects. He can increase gravity around someone thereby crushing them, he can decrease gravity to send someone into the air. He can pull or push objects, he can create a force field around himself. Naruto can use it to fly at speeds of around Mach 300 within the earth atmosphere but that strains his control too much.

Chakra manipulation: Every Uzumaki has chakra and they can use this in a variety of ways. The first is elemental manipulation by changing chakra they can manipulate the elements. They can use it as a form of adhesion allowing them to run up vertical surfaces. Naruto was born with a more solid chakra core that allows him to fire it the form of concussive blasts from his eyes or hands. The concussive blasts are capable of just knocking back a foe to actually annihilating the target.

Demonic Form: As descendants from the Old Gods and demonic entities, the Uzumaki have the ability to change into a demonic form which greatly increases the potency of there chakra and physical abilities. However this also leaves an imprint of a bloodthirsty monster in their brains almost like a psychotic second personality that takes over their original hence why the naturally suppress the bloodlust.

He also possesses a photographic memory which allows him to memorize things and never forget them as well with his ability to speed read, Batman predicts that he would surpass students his age in a year or so.

And sorry for not updating sooner, I was a little busy with School and University applications. Thanks for reading and please leave a review on what you think Naruto's harem should be or should I make this a single pairing with just Wonder Woman.
