I do not own Naruto, Batman or the Justice League this is a fanfiction only.
After he spent some time making Hades laugh at the things he did while Sheriff he bid him and his faithful hound a fond farewell. Cerberus accompanied him to the exit and opened the gate. "Keep him safe, boy. Try to make him feel that he has a friend here with him. This place will depress anyone, I am no exception."
The three-headed hound nodded their heads and each gave him a lick and rubbed their heads against his head. "Good, I knew that I can count on you." He walked out of the gate and found that an entire group of amazons was waiting for him.
"Hera help me. Do I have to fight you idiots to be able to spend some quality time with my friend? Honestly, If I was like the idiot my friend is married to. I would kick you off my island and forbid you to even set foot on it again. You should be thankful I am the nice and merciful guy that I am. "
Persephone arrived laughing as she heard that comment." I am sure she is actually blushing quite brightly as she no doubts heard those remarks. They are here to see if you need medical attention. We both know to travel in the underworld is never pleasant. "
Naruto walked towards her and smiled. " The evil souls of the dead would escape if it was a walk in the park. It is not pleasant but it does have a purpose. How about we have some tea and you tell me how your life has been so far? "
Persephone had to agree that it would be quite lovely if he did that.
The two sat down after he prepared the tea." Naruto I knew you for years. When will you tell me the answer to the question I asked on my wedding day? How is a warm, caring, and tender man like you still single? I imagine there would be dozens of beautiful ladies that would fight over the chance to marry you. "
Naruto took a sip from his tea and saw the amazons train." Those women training would gladly contradict you. I think they would rather fight for the joy of trying to kill me instead. "
Persephone asked him to answer her question it has been bugging her a lot." Very well but keep it secret. " She promised that she would.
" The truth is I was married once, to the one person I loved more than anything. My beloved wife was a member of the Uchiha Clan. Her name was Mikoto and she was the light of my very soul. My hair you always knew it as black haven't you. In truth was silver white when I was with her. "
He touched his armor and looked at her." Even my armor and weapons have changed. I lost the light of my soul and my heart has grown colder than it once was. One of her clan used a technique to make her think she was her husband. He tricked her and threatened our children. I was transformed into a child and was subjected to horrors by the village we lived in. "
Naruto was remembering her death and tears began to flow from his eyes." The man who brainwashed my wife later killed her and my eldest son killed him. He had to escape and live as a criminal. I married through an arranged marriage was made to marry a woman by the name of Hinata. My youngest son took it upon himself to wake me from my delusions sleeping with my wife. I knew then that she really never loved me. "
Persephone was not expecting this at all. She expected him to tell her he was simply too shy or he didn't want to make the ladies hurt when they grew older and he didn't. Naruto was not done." My sons killed each other because Sasuke was lied to by a member of the village council. He told my youngest that his brother had killed many innocent beside Fugaku. They killed each other out of the need for revenge. "
Persephone saw the tears and knew the pain must have been severe for him to cry like that." I am sorry I made you remember. I understand now the reason. You still love her, don't you? Even if she is dead you still love Mikoto your soul mate. I guess I understand I fell the same about Hades. I see him one day a month thanks to you. So my situation is not as bad as yours. "
Naruto decided to make her laugh by telling her tales of the time he spent as a lawman.
" Naturo, the domain of justice is the domain of Zeus. You do remember that don't you? You two hate each other. How can you possibly be a lawman and do something that would benefit the person you actually hate? "
Naruto just told her he didn't do it for him, he did it for the people that were suffering without someone to keep the peace and order.
She was happy to see her friend was actually trying to find a way to keep his mind off the pain of his past." One day Naruto, your beloved will he reborn and you will find that light once again. When you do you got to invite me to the wedding. I would like to see how you looked when you still had the light that is her love in your soul. "
Naruto said that he spend years looking for her but so far she was nowhere to he found." Sometimes Naruto you find a treasure when you actually stop looking for it. "
" Thank you for being such a great friend, Persephone. I guess I will try to find a new place to live. I hear the gold prospectors are also digging in a few other places. I guess I could try being sheriff in one of those towns. " She told him why not go back to Gotham but this time, try something more peaceful.
" You are good at healing Naruto. Why don't you be a healer? I am sure people there would be glad to have you keep them healthy." Naruto had to admit he never thought of that and so he decided to become a healer. He said is farewells and the few amazons present said good riddance till Persephone reminded them he was good friends with her husband and herself. To think carefully before they made either him or her angry.
By the time he made it back to Gotham it was a small size city and with no healers or as he preferred to be called doctors he came at a good time. A disease began to spread and it was easily spread, it would cause deaths by the thousands worldwide. It would be called the first influenza epidemic. Thanks to Naruto's talents Gotham suffered the least deaths since he arrived.
The appreciation felt by the survivors made them realize that the profession of Medicine was indeed an honorable and merciful profession. The university that had just opened decided to open the first ever medical school. Naruto began to teach there in his spare time. He taught them every manner of healing which did not require Chakra. Humans seems to have lost the ability to make the energy.
His teaching began to spread and soon enough the University became world recognized and soon people across the ocean came to study at Gotham University Medical School. Midwives became nurses as the doctors that graduated made childbirth immensely safer and less painful for the mothers and thus the chances of a baby not being born alive became less and less.
The next thing that spread was the practice of performing a surgery when it was clear that the child was not going to be able to be born through the birth canal. The procedure not without risks but if it was not done the mother and child could die as it had happened before.
Doctor Okutsuki became quite a popular doctor for general problems and especially for women's health. There was one thing that he, however, would not stand for and was liable to beat the person who dared do that in his clinic or in front of him. The thing he hated was what he called spousal abuse.
He put it quite plainly to a man who slapped his wife for arguing against something that was clearly stupid. The man tried to slap his pregnant wife again but this time, Naruto caught the man's hand. "You hit her again, and you can kiss eating solid food goodbye. Are we clear?"
The idiot said she was his wife and thus he could do whatever he wished to her. He did slap her again to prove his point. Naruto walked over as he was going to do it again. His hand became covered by a metal coating and with the hand covered like it was he slapped her husband hard enough to send him flying across the room and into a wall.
Naruto walked over to the wall and pulled him out. "Are we clear?" He asked his eyes showing a dead serious glare and his normal black eyes became silver with rings showing in his irises. "Yes, Doctor I promise I won't do it again."
He healed the man since he saw he was not lying. "You love your wife or otherwise, you wouldn't have married her. You can argue with each other. You may have different points of view but since you love her value her opinion as well. Listen to her and try to come up with a solution that both can agree with. "
The men who listened realized that the Doctor was right. It was stupid beyond belief to harm the woman who they loved for something as petty as hearing an opinion that was not what they decided in the first place. They had a partner, not a blind obedient slave.
The final straw in this was when someone told him he was not even married. Since he was not married he didn't know what the hell he was talking about and so he should not give advice about things he looked too young to even know about.
He stepped close to the man who said that and he did something nobody expected. He told them something deeply personal. "I was married for over ten years. My wife was murdered and my children due to depression killed each other. Now I will tell you this no pain compares to have to bury your own children. So when I speak of marriage I know what I am talking about, and thank you ever so much for the salt for my old wound. I hope you are happy. "
The man and those that had agreed with him regretted having said that to him. It was clearly an old wound that still caused him pain. They each looked at their wives and imagined what life would be without them. They each fell on their knees and begged their wives to forgive them and each woman kissed her husband and told him that of course they would forgive their husbands. They loved them after all.
Doctor Okutsuki kept on doing his research to improve the old formulas and the old techniques. He kept looking for the elusive cure all pill. As a deity he could have willed it into being but where is the challenge and fun in doing that? The easy path may seem the best but an achievement that was earned easy would never feel as good as one that was earned.
Persephone was right about trying something other than law enforcement. He was quite happy to see the smiling faces of a patient and their families when he cured them. It made his day when he gave hope to a young couple the chance to be truly happy.
His days didn't feel as long anymore because of his schedule. The life of a doctor can be quite hectic and if you couple that with his own classes he taught at medical school. It would make people wonder how he kept up with things.
He was seen only drinking tea after all and he rarely went out to eat.
The students were to focus to really pay attention and the others in the hospital simply were too busy with home and the hospitals. Gotham in the span of thirty years had eight hospitals and had grown to be a million people in population. It was no wonder since the city was probably the best place to study medicine.
As the years went by and he would pretend that he was the child and later descendant of Naruto, meaning himself. He managed to keep appearances and thanks to the henge technique he was able to keep this up for a very long time.
War finally came and he didn't enjoy this one bit. The first World War or as people called it the War to end all Wars. Naruto, of course, knew better. He was sent as a field doctor and boy were the doctors in the field hospital happy to have someone as talented as him.
One day the so-called enemy tried to attack the field hospital. Naruto didn't like this one bit. The attacking of noncombatants was not something he was willing to let happen. He was able and willing to teach the enemy a valuable lesson in morals.
He told the doctors and nurses to stay in the field hospital. He would take care of the rude people outside. As he walked out he made a hand sign and the small group of enemy soldiers and an officer were unaware they had been surrounded and outnumbered ten to one.
He walked calmly and looked at the officer. "Colonel, to what do we owe this unexpected visit. I see your men be quite healthy." The colonel was surprised by his fluency in speaking German. He told him that he didn't come to visit. He was ordered to destroy the field hospital and kill everyone that worked there.
Naruto saw that he didn't even apologize for saying such a thing. "Colonel as a doctor I swear to save lives, but in the spirit of that oath, I am telling you and your men to leave. I will be forced to do something that you and your men will not survive. This is my final warning. Return to your General and tell him I don't appreciate the attacking of noncombatants. "
The Colonel must have found it extremely funny because he laughed at the notion that a single man could take his unit out. He looked at Naruto with a sneer and said to him to do his worst.
Naruto put his fingers in his mouth and made a whistling sound. In less than a second, the unit began to hear screams from they fellow soldiers and in minutes the only ones still standing was the Colonel and Naruto. He held the Colonel by placing a trench knife to his throat.
"It seems my hounds had their dinner. I always keep them guarding this field hospital just in case someone does something like this. " The Colonel asked why he didn't kill him like he killed his men. Naruto looked at him with such killer intent the Colonel was not frightened.
" Didn't I tell you to go back and tell your General that I don't appreciate when you come to try and disrupt my hospital. Of course, if you are ever injured and need healing be sure to come unarmed and I will heal you. Now off you go, Colonel, I don't want my message to get to the General late. "
The Colonel ran like he was running away from the very gates of Hell. He calmly walked over to the crying doctors and nurses who heard the enemy dying." Now that is taken care off, what are we having for lunch? " They all got up and stared at him in disbelief.
He went to the place they were having their lunch and they still were staring at him."Why so serious? Your food will get cold you know. We should really thank the cook this soup is excellent. "
They couldn't help but feel that Naruto was quite used to seeing people die and even killing. A fellow doctor and a nurse sat down with him." Naruto how can you be so used to death? I never knew this field hospital had guard dogs. "
The nurse said that she was more scared of the guard dogs since they obviously could eat human flesh.
Naruto continues to enjoy his thick, creamy potato soup. " For one they are not dogs, their foxes. Second, they didn't eat those soldiers. They killed them for sure but they didn't eat them. I am having them dig holes and giving them a nice burial. That is all. They don't kill without my permission hence the whistle. "
Naruto took a drink of his water and continued." As to why I am used to death? I am a doctor and been one longer than most here. I see death on the daily basis so I am not so shocked by it. I also have studied quite a few things to defend myself. You know George you and your lovely wife should learn to defend yourselves. It is a dangerous world we live in. "
Nancy had to smile in complete agreement." I am only happy that we have you to protect us. Why did you accept to come to this hospital Naruto? A person like you could have stayed in the general Hospital in London."
Naruto smiled and did something he always did. He answered honestly or as honest as he could. "My family has been friends with the Waynes since the foundation of the inn that was the first business in Gotham. I was not about to let George or his lovely wife die if I could prevent it."
George said in a joking tone that he should stop flirting with his wife. Naruto turned it right back at him and said that he better treat her right or he would take her from him. This made the three of them laugh.
The cook a large muscle man came and stood by Naruto. "Vladimir I have to tell you this is by far the best potatoes casserole I ever had in my life. The thickness, the taste and the softness of the potatoes are quite excellent. You should consider my advice and when this sad war is over you should open a restaurant. You do well I can tell. "
The man began to laugh," You praise me too much, this is a simple dish that I learned from my grandmama back in the old country. You know the potato was once called the devil's fruit you know. It is quite surprising that you can eat something that was once called demonic. "
Naruto turned to the man," I am not so easily scared Vladimir, I could go to the underworld on foot and have dinner with Hades and not be scared. This is quite the dish and I am sure your grandmother is proud that you can make it in her memory. "
The man thanked him and went back to check on his chicken pot pies." Naruto who is it that you know so many languages." a man next to George asked him. Naruto simply smiled and said that he liked to study in his spare time.
