Chapter 6: New Alliances and New Enemies.
Naruto stared intently at the dark-skinned woman, "How do I know that you're not lying? Considering the fact that you managed to bug the Justice League's headquarters means you have a lot of power and resources. Surely someone of your stature has the resources to fake the tape."
Queen Bee chuckled with mirth, "Oh come now Mr Uzumaki, I am sure you are intelligent enough to know that such a course of action is counter-intuitive." She was right but Naruto was still apprehensive to trust her. She saw his apprehension and decided to elate it, "Perhaps some time to think would help."
She smiled as she stood up, "I'll be sure to contact you…My liege." She bowed royally before she stalked off into the night. He gripped the stone table harder as it strained to remain standing. She was mocking him, reminding him of what he was. The fall of Uzushiogakure left him with nothing except an empty title, a title that meant nothing anymore. He was after all a King of Nothing.
Kyoto
Japan
"C-1, in position and ready."
"C-2, in position and ready."
Naruto surveyed from a hill the location that he was meant to be targeting. It was a relatively large Japanese styled mansion, Batman had said that intel had shown that the owner had used his connections to steal a Quake Pulsar. Batman wanted it returned to S.T.A.R labs as soon as possible. The branch in Japan had authorised Naruto to take it to American soil in hopes that it wouldn't be stolen again.
He had advised the caped crusader that this mission should be a solo one, it was after all too sensitive to send in a group of rookies into foreign soil to retrieve a stolen weapon from a man that had a large amount of sway in East Asia. Batman had seemed to agree after some research into the man, Naruto was not even allowed to wear anything remotely similar to his normal attire, if he was spotted, the US would more than likely extradite him to the Japanese and since he had no records, it would be rather easy for him to be silenced, if he were a normal human. So here he was dressed in a track suit with a balaclava.
He had spent the better part of two days tracking the whereabouts of the quake pulsar. His clones had already flanked the building. They had placed seals across the building, he had created them specifically for this mission. The seals would release would release a powerful knockout gas that would flood the mansion. It would give Naruto a window of ten minutes to get in, take the pulsar and leave. All without leaving a trace.
"Alright…Flood it."
C-1 and C-2 replied, "Rodger that." The guards unaware as the colourless knock out gas flooded every inch of the mansion and surrounding area. Naruto said, "You know the drill." The two clones nodded and dispelled, his head throbbed as an influx of information entered his mind. Naruto jumped from the hill, his body rocketing towards the front of the mission.
It took Naruto, 8 minutes to find the safe that held the quake pulsar. He unsealed a scroll and began the process to seal the pulsar. The owner was on his desk, unconscious and drooling over his paperwork.
Naruto packed it up and sped out of the house.
Bang!
Naruto merely raised his hand and the bullet stopped right in front of him. Judging by its size and the speed that it had been travelling, Naruto assumed it had come from a sniper rifle and a very powerful one. He closed his eyes and pulsed out his chakra using it as a form of echolocation, he sensed nine people in the forest directly in front of him. He shouted, "Come out…You cannot hide from me."
A demented laugh echoed as a group of 8 people walked out of the forest, the last one was perched on a tree branch. Naruto stared at them, he knew a large portion of the group, they were all villains of major heroes like Batman and the Flash. He listed their nicknames in his head, 'Killer Frost, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Killer Crock.' The sniper perched on the tree top was most likely Deadshot. He looked at the remaining four people that stood in front of him, he had not been able to recognise them.
Harley Quinn swung a baseball on her back and said, "Give us the Quake Pulsar and we may let you live." Her tone sounded like that of a jovial child but Naruto didn't miss the hidden deadliness undertone.
'No uniform. No swords. Minimal use of powers.' Batman's orders floated to the forefront of his mind. Naruto's eyes narrowed and he remembered that each of the villains was meant to be locked up tight in Belle Reeve, one of the only facilities capable of holding these monsters.
"Batman to Kage…Do you have the package." Batman's voice echoed through his comms.
Naruto muttered, "Yes, I do but I have a little situation. Do you have any idea why Harley Quinn, Killer Frost and a group of villains are here in Japan?"
"Kage. Disengage now. They are the…" Static. Naruto removed the com and crushed it with his boot.
Harley Quinn shouted, "Now, now. We can't have you calling in reinforcements."
Naruto growled, "Don't need any." But he guessed it was time to withdraw. He drew a flashbang and threw it on the ground. The team turned around for a few seconds before they turned their gaze back to Naruto's previous position only to find that he had gone.
"Waller…He's gone and he took the package."
A woman wearing what appeared to be modernized samurai armour and a white porcelain half mask that covered the top half of her face approached the site of Naruto's disappearance. She saw a paper tag on the ground it was inscribed with a special writing, centring around the kanji for "explode". She muttered, "By Kami…" She turned to her teammates and shouted, "Everyone run!" They didn't have time as the paper tag began to ignite, Killer Frost ran to her teammate and used her cryokinetic abilities to make a dense ice dome around the explosive tag. The explosion shattered the ice as if it were glass, Killer Frost muttered something about how her ice should have stopped the explosion from ever occurring.
All of the Suicide Squad heard, "This is Waller…Prepare for immediate extraction and debriefing."
Amanda Waller had realised that her team's secret existence was probably severely compromised when the Quake Pulsar turned up in S.T.A.R labs in Gotham. Would Batman become more aggressive in his tactics to shut down the Suicide Squad? Why was the caped crusader using a covert operative to retrieve a very dangerous weapon? Amanda Waller wanted answers and she would get them, by force if necessary.
Next Day
Morning
Washington DC
Wonder Woman eyed her protégé suspiciously, for the past few days he would rarely speak to her. When he did, he sounded tired and incredibly cold. What happened to him whilst she had gone to Metropolis. She needed to know.
She said, "Naruto. I made us breakfast."
Naruto who had been working intently on a computer program merely gazed up from his laptop screen. He replied in a tone that seemed incredibly cautious, "I don't want any but I thank you for making some." To Wonder Woman, his words never reached his eyes. He didn't seem at all grateful. She narrowed her eyes but before she could speak, her Justice League communicator began to vibrate indicating that she was needed. She gave him a pointed look telling him that they would talk about this later. Naruto let out a soft growl, he didn't want anything to do with the Themysciran.
He heard a robotic voice from his laptop, "I hate to disturb you at this hour, but I am sorry to report that I have absolutely nothing on the woman you told me. Her name is Queen Bee but that is just about it, her origins are unknown and whoever this group is, they seem to be smart enough not to leave a single trace behind. If I didn't know you, I would say that you were lying."
Naruto merely muttered, "Thank you."
The voice droned, "Anytime mate."
Whilst it was true that Naruto didn't have any contacts that would be able to match the calibre of this mysterious organisation, he did know a few people on the dark web that he had helped on more than one occasion. He didn't exactly trust them with his life or anything but they were the closest he could get to an ally at the moment. He walked towards his bedroom, he needed some time to think. He needed a plan but his mind was so addled about Wonder Woman's apparent betrayal that he simply couldn't think straight.
His eyes narrowed at the Othello board, he knew for one that he couldn't trust anyone anymore even the mysterious woman he had met mostly likely had a secret agenda. The question that remained was, which one was the lesser of two evils, was it the Justice League or was it this mysterious organisation.
Or perhaps it was time that he walked his own path. He had much to ponder about and he was destitute of both time and information.
Happy Harbour
Mount Justice
Zeta Chamber
August 3rd
13
"Recognised B05, Kage."
"Recognised B04, Superboy."
The two appeared out of the neighbouring zeta beam chambers, they briefly looked at each other before Superboy turned away huffing. Apparently, the clone was irritated by something, not that he was in the mood to socialise himself.
Megan asked, "How was Metropolis, Superboy." The clone didn't even reply but instead continued to walk through a holographic hockey table that Kid Flash and Kaldur had been playing on. Naruto raised an eyebrow, it appeared that Superman wanted nothing to do with the clone. That was after all quite understandable, Naruto wouldn't know what to do if someone had made a clone of him. He probably wouldn't go near the abomination.
"Ahem." A small cough was heard from one of the tunnels adjacent to the zeta bam chambers. "Ready for training everyone." The team turned to see Black Canary and the Martian Manhunter enter the room. Megan shouted happily, "Uncle J'onn." She ran up and hugged him.
The elder Martian replied, "M'ggan, I was in the area so I came to see how you were adjusting to life on earth."
"A few bumps on the way but I am learning," M'ggan said.
"Glad to hear that."
Naruto and Black Canary both observed as Superboy frowned and began to walk out of the room. "Stick around. You might learn a thing or two." The superheroine told him.
"Class is now in session."
She walked into the centre of the circular projection pad and It lit up. She turned to the group, "I consider it an honour to be your teacher. I'll throw a lot at you. Everything that I have learnt from my mentors." She winced slightly as she took off her jacket. "And from my own bruises." Both Superboy and Naruto watched with disinterest, one because he believed that the metahuman had nothing to teach him and the other because he believed that the heroine was much too weak to beat him.
"Are you okay?" Megan asked.
Black Canary dismissed her concerns. "Just the job." She spoke as though to tell the sidekicks that their occupation was filled with potential hazards, not that they needed to be told. "Now combat is an art and in order for you to win, you must dictate the flow of the battle on your own terms. I will need a sparring partner."
"Ooh! Me." Wally said excitedly. He did a flirtatious pose that seemed to amuse instead of disgust Black Canary. Probably because she was dating the Green Arrow. "After this, I'll show you my moves." Naruto almost shook his head in pure exasperation, he could see the minute details of Black Canary's body, her muscles tightening, her pulse quickening and her facial features beginning to slack as she entered a mode that allowed her to react passively to Kid Flash. It was obvious that her senses weren't quick enough to handle Kid Flash's speed, but she was trained to react the second he tried to attack her. Of course, this method had plenty of weaknesses, but it was her best bet and it wouldn't have worked against those with the full set of superhuman physiological traits, they would outmatch Black Canary with ease.
Kid Flash was unprepared but Naruto saw her movements in slow motion, she began a frontal assault that led to Kid Flash stepping back, she saw the opportunity and swept his leg. The young speedster fell on his back.
'How pathetic.' Naruto thought. He closed his eyes and sighed. He had no idea why he was still here.
Superboy rant snapped him out of his stupor, "Oh please with my powers there is no way I would lose."
Naruto smiled, he had a chance now. "For once I agree with the clone. You are a low-level metahuman, Canary." Both Superboy and Black Canary snapped their heads to the armoured teenager.
Black Canary seemed unfazed, "Perhaps a demonstration then, Kage."
Naruto stepped on to the ring, he said monotonously, "Such hubris coming from you Black Canary. Allow me to bring you back down to earth."
She never spoke but instead chose to charge him, Naruto merely dodged each of her attacks. Black Canary thought she was pushing him back. She aimed a kick to his knee, Naruto simply shifted his body forward and pushed her. She nearly stumbled to the ground.
"You cannot beat me, Canary. Even if you were to use your pathetic bird cry."
She growled and then she screamed but it never reached her vocal cords. Naruto moved at a blurring speed before delivering a powerful kick to her diaphragm. Canary was flung from her spot to the wall, Naruto's gravity powers stopped her from hitting the wall.
A stunned silence filled the room and none of them even noticed the appearance of Batman on the screen. Naruto turned and said, "Perhaps you should assign a stronger teacher next time, Batman." He walked out of the room.
The silence that permeated across the room was interrupted by Batman, "I have a mission for you." Batman didn't need Naruto for this mission, he would talk to the kid later.
With Naruto
Atop the ocean that once held Uzushiogakure, Naruto looked at the rampant tides and then back to the sky, as if he would get an answer to his unspoken question. He felt so hopeless, he didn't want to be here. He would rather he died with his mother than living in a world like this. His life in Uzushiogakure was a simple and fulfilling one, his life here was anything but that. It was complicated, everyone was out to get each other. A war that was fought in the shadows, one where the heroes were not heroes but a group of self-righteous warriors who fought for their definition of what was 'justice'.
He had no idea how long he had been here, hours must have passed as he sat levitating over the ocean. His mind lost in memories of his past.
Metropolis
Diana had just arrived to see Clark walk out of the diner, her eyes went to Bruce Wayne who remained seated with a stoic expression on his face. She walked up to Bruce and said, "What are you doing here?"
Bruce narrowed his eyes at Diana, her facial expression indicated that she was under a lot of stress. "Superboy has become increasingly volatile and it is because Clark doesn't wish to take responsibility. His history with his clones makes him believe that Connor will turn out to be just the same."
Bruce continued, "Diana, I need to know. Is Naruto going to turn on us?"
Diana seemed apprehensive, "Why would you believe that?" Bruce narrowed his eyes at her apprehension. Diana began to feel uncomfortable as Bruce peered right through her.
"What do you know?" He asked- no demanded from the Themysciran.
"Nothing definitive or anything that could help you with your investigation. All I know is that he began to harbour a lot ill will towards me recently."
Bruce looked into the distance, his mind trying to connect the seemingly disconnected points. "Hmm…Perhaps he believes that we are just using him or perhaps he knows something that would cause such animosity to arise. It's too real to be random."
"But why me…" Diana asked.
Bruce looked into her blue eyes and replied, "He knows..." He stood up abruptly and walked out of the room, leaving without his pie. Diana seemed all the more confused about what was going on. Shrugging she took Bruce's pie and began to dig in knowing that he wouldn't come back for it. She understood that Bruce Wayne now saw Naruto as a very dangerous enemy. Gods save them if Naruto were to access his demonic form. She would have to return to Themyscira in due time, only Hephaestus would be capable of forging a weapon that could bring down an Uzumaki.
Back with the team
They had failed, failed to complete their objective. Professor Ivo's AMAZO had been stolen from right under their noses by a horde of robotic monkeys. It was an embarrassing defeat, once again they had realised that they were weak. It seemed so surreal that when Batman and the other leaguers addressed them that they weren't ready to join the league that they would be so right. Right now, they made a bad strategical error as it was only a matter of time before Amazo would awaken and perhaps amass more power. This was bad…If Amazo became any more powerful they would stand no chance against the android. It would be helpful if Naruto was here.
Superboy in blinded rage decided to chase after the monkeys and Amazo leaving behind his earpiece and a team that had no idea what to do next.
Megan said, "This professor Ivo if he is alive, seems to be two steps ahead of us"
She asked apprehensively, "M-maybe w-we should contact Red Tornado?"
Aqualad disagreed, "Tornado always tells us to handle things ourselves. And the mission can still succeed if we recover the parts Before they're reassembled."
Kid Flash sarcastically "Well, that's a great plan, except for the part about us not knowing where to look! "
Robin smirked as he contemplated the various ways to track the monkeys down, He explained, "Maybe we do. We'd have heard by now if the decoy trucks had been attacked. So how did these monkeys know exactly which trucks to target?
Robin began to examine the robotic monkeys and found something, "Ha! The parts have gps. The monkeys can track the signal, which means I can track them with the one I captured. "
"It looks both sets of parts are converging on Gotham city."
Aqualad said, "That far south…M'ggan and I will not get there anytime soon."
Robin said, "I am sending Kid ahead, I will join him later." He tapped his computer gauntlet and entered a code, he prayed that it worked.
"'Static'…Robin, what do you want?"
"Kage, thank god. We were hijacked and some android monkeys took Amazo's body parts. I fear that they will assemble Amazo before we get there."
Robin heard a deep sigh before Naruto spoke, "Fine…Send me the coordinates." Naruto sounded tired and Robin hated it, he hated how much they had to rely on Naruto as a crutch every time they felt something remotely dangerous but if the stories of Amazo were true, then he suspected that Naruto would be the only one who could stop him. He just hoped Amazo hadn't copied all the powers of the Justice League yet or else this was going to turn into a massacre.
Gotham Academy
The entire team lay defeated on the cracked wooden floor of the basketball hall, at first they seemed to be winning, they even managed to attack Ivo to depower Amazo but then it changed and some advanced protocol allowed it to access the full power of those that he had copied. With MM's psionic abilities and Atom's ability to manipulate energy and molecular transmutation, it was a losing battle.
Ivo cackled, "Each of you is pathetic copies of the originals, you could barely handle a weak Amazo let alone one that has access to the full power set of those it has copied. I guess this is goodbye, children."
Robin ground his teeth as he tried to get up but he felt so tired, his mind barely hanging on to consciousness. Where was he? Did he leave them? The last thing he saw was Amazo charging up an atomic blast and a blue energy wave rushing towards the android.
"I guess I am late to the party." Heavy footsteps echoed as Naruto entered the hall, Ivo felt the amount of power permeating from the armoured behemoth. Naruto twirled his blades and said, "I heard that you copied the Justice League's abilities. Let's see how much you compare." With insane speed, Naruto rushed towards Amazo, who had begun to fire a barrage of atomic blasts, but Naruto's blades deflected each of them. Amazo was forced to backpedal as Naruto almost cut off its head. "Access Martian Manhunter." His sword passed through the android but Naruto merely smiled as the blade began to vibrate and a screeching electricity emerged from the blade. Amazo sent Naruto flying by accessing its telekinesis but at the cost of the electricity frying some of its internals. "Access Superman." A scorching beam erupted for each of its eyes but Naruto replied with his own optic blast. A large explosion rung through the hall as both Naruto and Amazo met in the centre. 'No holding back.' Naruto thought. He dodged a punch from the Android and released a gravity enhanced uppercut that sent it flying straight into the night sky. Naruto rocketed upwards and fired an optic blast that sent the android further into the sky.
The android tried to halt Naruto's ascension by releasing a powerful gust of air from its mouth but Naruto's acceleration was powerful enough to rip through the wind. Amazo reacted in time to dodge Naruto's sword but found itself being launched straight to the ground by a kick. Naruto once again released an even more powerful optic beam causing Amazo to be forced to access Martian Manhunter. Naruto noted that there was a time lag before the android could activate its abilities, it was around 5 seconds. He grinned as he began to formulate a plan to destroy the android, he felt himself being jerked towards Amazo through some sort of Telekinesis. Naruto let himself get dragged as he slowly enclosed Gravity around himself and the android, the closer he got the stronger the gravity became and Amazo felt its circuitry begin to snap under the unearthly amount of gravity.
Down below, the earth began to crack and the team who had just awakened found themselves being face faulted to the ground. Naruto grinned, under such conditions only he could function. Amazo tried to phase but found Naruto throwing his Totsuka blade straight through it, a million amps were discharged from the sword and Amazo was shocked back into rematerializing. "Severe damage detected…Access Super-Aargh." A dull thud echoed as Naruto's Totsuka blade pierced Amazo from behind.
Naruto said, "Goodbye." A black fire ripped through the air and burnt the Amazo until all that remained were flickers of metallic dust.
Meanwhile a few miles away
The Justice League were approaching Gotham Academy. Batman asked, "Status report. Superman what do you see."
Superman replied, "Kage has destroyed the Amazo."
Flash asked worriedly, "What about the others."
Superman's eyes glowed white as he scanned the area using his x-ray vision, "They are currently in the basketball hall. They seem to be fine." That was all flash needed to hear as he rushed towards the hall.
Wonder Woman said, "I am going on ahead. I need to speak to Na-Kage."
Batman said, "No, Diana…Wait!" But She wouldn't listen as she flew towards where Naruto was levitating. "Superman, Supergirl, Zatara, Captain Marvel and Captain Atom. I want you all standby in case Kage does something."
Supergirl questioned, "Why would he do something?"
Batman seemed apprehensive, "I made a mistake." All the Justice Leaguers looked at the caped crusader who was cruising on his jet in slight shock, Batman was not one to admit his mistakes. "Careful all of you, if he could defeat Amazo by himself there is no telling what he is capable of."
With Naruto
Naruto heard Batman's orders and simply smiled, it appeared that Batman's deductive skills hadn't waned in the slightest.
"Naruto!" He heard Diana shout and he merely turned to his mentor, his visor flashing red and ethereal black flames dancing around his armour.
"What is it Themysciran?"
Diana froze when she heard him call him that, she steeled herself and replied, "Tell me what I have done to receive such hatred." It sounded like a plea.
Naruto merely chuckled, "Don't pretend to like me, Themysciran. I know of the accord between you and Batman."
Diana looked puzzled but then she remembered, the first day that she learnt that Naruto was an Uzumaki. Batman had approached her and asked if she knew of any of the boy's weaknesses and she replied that it was her.
Naruto growled, "So you finally remember. It was a ploy wasn't it Amazonian, I thought that your people were one of honour, but I guess I was wrong."
Diana said firmly, "I acknowledge my mistake, Naruto but I ask that we move past it. You were like me, lost in a world that you had only hatred for and I know what that path leads down but after I got to know you, I choose to ignore Batman's orders."
Naruto replied, "Then I can only assume you know what will happen now." Diana understood that this meant he was going to leave.
"And you understand that I cannot let you leave."
Naruto grinned, "Is that so." A blue jet emerged from his visor and zeroed in on Wonder Woman. She raised her bracelets as they deflected the energy beam harmlessly into the air. Wonder Woman dashed towards him and they two began to fight in the air. Naruto flipped backwards to avoid Wonder Woman's sword strike and released a gravitational wave that knocked her back several hundred meters.
Naruto unsheathed his swords as he blocked two incoming beams of heat visions. Diana who had already recovered was now standing with Captain Marvel, Superman, Supergirl, Captain Atom and Zatara. Superman said, his eyes glowing an ethereal red, "Give up Kage...You cannot win."
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. " 100 hundred clones erupted from the smoke. "Scatter." They all said. Supergirl and Superman tried to scan each of them but found that they all looked the same internally. Instead, they chose to pursue them, lasers erupted from their eyes and attacked clones that simply turned back into smoke.
Diana closed her eyes and prayed for Apollo to show her the direction and he did, She followed in pursuit of 10 clones that were flying at Mach 300. Naruto smirked as he gave the clones a discrete signal, they slowed down and allowed Diana to halt them. Diana replied, "Stop this instant Naruto."
The clones said simultaneously, "Ok." As Diana floated forwards to try and speak, the clones all made a single hand sign and shouted, "Katsu." A colossal explosion struck Wonder Woman, who was stunned by the force of it. She could not react in time as Naruto tagged her before punching her straight down into the city of Brussels. Naruto made another hand sign, another explosion resounded just above the city.
He divebombed towards where Wonder Woman landed, As she was getting up Naruto smashed straight into her back causing her to groan. Another kick to the midsection and she was sent flying into a skyscraper. Wonder Woman raised her bracelets to avoid a jet of blue energy but was sent crashing down by a wave of gravity. She could hardly react in time as Naruto raised his palms and release a thousand amps through them. She screamed.
Naruto merely raised his palm to stop Superman's punch and with a gesture, the man of steel was flung through several buildings. Wonder Woman kicked Naruto's knee and as he body shifted, she quickly took him down. Naruto just laughed as She continued to punch against his gravity barrier, "As much as I enjoy this fight, I have an appointment to get going too. " He raised his hands in the same gesture as before and Wonder Woman saw her stomach glowing, She tried to rip it off, "Don't bother the seal is embedded in your dermis. It's a torture seal, I created." He gravity pushed her straight into the way of an incoming Superman, the two were flung into a building. Naruto flew into the air and saw Superman and Wonder Woman getting up. He thought, 'I really don't like using this seal, but I am running out of time.' He activated it and Wonder Woman fell to the ground, thrashing in pain until she fell unconscious.
Naruto shouted, "I would take her to Themyscira only they know how to stop the seal."
Superman growled, "I will kill you."
Naruto grinned demonically, "So the boy scout does have a dark side that's good to know but wouldn't you rather your girlfriend survived. She may be unconscious, but the pain is still unbearable. "
Superman fired a jet of his heat vision at Naruto but Naruto just deflected it. "You have two choices, follow me and she may die or leave me be and get your girlfriend to Themyscira." Of course, this was a bluff and Naruto knew it, he had altered the original seal so that it would only knock out the person and not kill them.
"I will find you."
Naruto simply laughed, "Don't bother…I will find you Kent." Superman's eyes widened but before he could ask how Naruto was already flying over Paris.
Hours later
"Crash." Batman avoided a punch that dented the wall of the Watchtower. "You're telling me that all of this was your fault."
Diana who had since recovered stopped Superman's second punch, "It was our fault, we kept pushing Naruto in the wrong direction. And he snapped."
Batman grimaced, "It's going to be league priority to find him but from what Wonder Woman has told me, it will be almost impossible."
Hal Jordan said with a hint of anger, "I am not helping you find him. He had the right to leave."
Batman replied, "He was a danger."
"For someone who claims not to be judge and jury, you sure do like taking the law in your own hands," Hal said angrily. He turned to the rest of the people on the table, "I vote we give him time to settle down. If he does something illegal, then we can act but until then leave Uzumaki Naruto alone. A show of hands for those who agree." A large majority raised their hands including Wonder Woman shocking those who hadn't raised their hands.
Batman merely turned around and said, "You're all making a big mistake, Naruto is more dangerous than you think." He left the watchtower without saying another word. An uneasy silence fell upon the rest of the leaguers.
Penthouse
Gotham
Penthouse
"I take it you are comfortable with your current living arrangements." A voice echoed from the TV screen.
Naruto sat comfortably on the expensive sofa, "It is more than adequate but I do hope for some action."
"Already. I see that you got rid of your helmet."
Naruto replied, "Just need to make sure it isn't bugged. Anyway, have you found what I was looking for."
I sent the file to your computer, "I wonder what you wanted with the data of young metahumans."
Naruto smiled, "The young are the easiest to sway."
"And if they don't."
He replied, "No matter, they will see the light."
The voice chuckled, "Welcome to the Council of the Light, Uzumaki Naruto." The screen switched off and Naruto walked towards the computer. He pulled up the file and began reading. A smile played on his lips, the game had begun and neither the Justice League or the Light were ready for his endgame.
Naruto watched the sun rise above Gotham and smiled, he muttered, "The Red Dawn is coming and with it, the Uzumaki Clan will rise again."
A/N
I am sorry it has taken me this long to update but I was so busy with school and work that by the time I got home I didn't really have the energy to do anything. Anyway now I am back.
This Chapter was mostly about Naruto leaving the Justice League and joining the Light but he's not going to be a villain. He is just using them for their resources. Anyway, I never really liked the episode, the Young Justice team would never be able to beat Amazo who had copied some of the most powerful members of the Justice League. Amazo could easily beat them with just MM's powerset, his telepathy and telekinetic abilities are way too powerful.
I hoped you liked the chapter and please leave a review on who you think would be best to join Naruto's new team.
Of course, since a lot of you have voted for a harem, I guess I will follow with that request but I may try the single pairing approach first.
