I do not own Naruto, Batman or the Justice League this is a fanfiction only.

Naruto looked at Bruce and he smiled a reassuring smile. "Bruce the training will be extremely difficult and painful. I have decided to give you this last chance to tell me if you changed your mind." Bruce told him he would not change his mind not now and not ever.

He took Bruce to an old cavern right under the very place he called home. He wondered why did he bing him to such a place, the cavern was massive. It must have been made centuries before they even knew the land. "I like to hunt here sometimes for food. It is a nice, secluded spot. Perfect for training you, now we need to eat something and then we begin our training."

He asked what would they eat, he took out a shuriken and with a flick of his wrist the blade few into the roof of the cave and a dozen dead bats that looked like they got hit by a charge of electricity fell down near where they were. He placed a few kunai and began roasting them with a fire jutsu.

He was done cooking pretty quickly and he sat down and took one of the dead bats and gave it to Bruce. "Don't look at me like I am insane, food is food and this tastes just like roasted chicken. It is at least a whole lot better than I had to eat growing up." Naruto told him as he picked one for himself and began eating it.

Bruce had to ask what did he eat when he was growing up? Naruto looked at him and told him he had to dig through the garbage of restaurants in his home town to get food to survive. After hearing that he too began to eat the roasted bat, it wasn't so bad after all. It did take like roasted chicken.

"Now first we work out our bodies, then our minds and finally our skills. Weapons and tools will only get you so far, the first lesson is this. The real danger is not the blade but the person who is holding it. An example I could kill a dozen people with a butter knife, but an amateur would fall and get himself cut or injured with the same knife. "

Bruce asked if he could kill people, why didn't he kill the scary man before he killed his parents. He knew the question was going to come eventually so he decided to get a jump start." If Thomas had done as I told him. Used the kunai I gave him like you did. I would have arrived in time to save your parents. Revenge was not my priority, you were. You needed me to keep you safe and so I did. "

" Bruce this is my second lesson, those who abandon their duty are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum. Always remember that you must always protect those precious to you. Losing them will hurt like nothing I can put into words. "

The two finished eating the bats and buried the bones. Naruto said that it was done to thank the bats for providing them with a meal. The next morning he felt Naruto waking him up, he wasn't sure but he was certain that it wasn't even six in the morning.

"Uncle it's too early. Can't I sleep some more? " Naruto laughed as he heard those words.

" No Bruce, we got a lot to do today, first you need to follow me. I got something to show you. " Bruce was slowly whipping his eyes as he followed him and then he found a massive training field built on the cave floor.

" Let's go easy today since it is your first day training. Run around the field 500 times, 500 push ups, sit ups, pull ups, punches and kicks. That should be a nice and easy warm up. " Bruce couldn't belive he called that easy, but he had another question in mind. He asked him where the training field came from? Naruto sat down as he looked at him enter the training field and answered.

" It is quite simple Bruce, I built it when you were asleep last night. Nothing too difficult for me, now quit stalling and get to work. We got a busy schedule and little time. " Bruce complained about him being a slave driver and went to do as he asked.

After a couple of hours he was done with his not so kind workout." Next we learn to fight and to handle weapons. " Naruto took great care not to injure him too much and he was surprised to see that Bruce was picking the combat style pretty good. He taught him how to use a kunai, katana and shuriken or as Bruce called them shooting stars.

At night he got some more bats and some water from a nearby spring. "Now we do this every day, after one week we increase the repetitions by one hundred. Don't give me that look Bruce. I did the same thing when I was six years old. Now eat up and don't forget to bury the bones and say thanks."

The training was brutal but effective, Bruce got better and better as time progressed and after five years he was according to Naruto at Genin level. Bruce became more and more serious as time progressed and even stopped calling him Uncle. He preferred to call him Master. If there was something that he often would feel is that he wished he never had to train him so hard. He missed seeing the carefree boy that once called him Uncle.

After ten years and Bruce reached the age of an adult he fought him and seeing that he had made enough progress in his training he told him that his training was now complete. "What will you do now Master?"

"Bruce I have to check on my old friends. You no longer need me, but you know what to do if you ever find yourself in a situation that you can't deal on your own. Now, what is this emblem on your suit? I know you ate your fair share of bats but why place it on your combat suit? "

Bruce looked at him and said for the same reason that he wore a Fox mask." You taught me that anonymity was a useful tool. I am only following your example, Master. I decided to be one with the night and to use the image of the bat to frighten my enemies. Just like you chose the Fox. "

Bruce laughed and asked him should he refer to him as Bruce or as Batman. Bruce liked that name for some reason and standing proudly with his bat shaped weapons and tools he proudly said that yes he was Batman.

Naruto felt that Bruce was now able to decide on how to live his life. He was an adult and as far as defend himself he was better off than most special forces troops. The one thing he never got him to get over was the one thing he wished he still had. It was the innocence that killing was unnecessary and that anyone could be saved.

Years as a ninja taught him the world can be a cruel and merciless place and sometimes to save a hundred you had to kill one or more people to actually save the most number of people. The willingness to kill someone or a group of people for the greater good was not an easy lesson to learn and it was even harder to teach. "I do hope you manage to keep your none lethal philosophy Bruce, for however long you can."

He decided that it was a good time to visit his friends and see if they were doing alright, plus he needed to see if his dog was doing alright. He began to run at high speeds towards the coast and then he began running on the water. He was making good progress and as far as he could tell nobody was able to see him.

As he reached the island he knew something was new since he wasn't greeted by the usual unfriendly welcoming party. He walked over to the main compound and began to activate his eyes. His silver eyes began to look for Persephone fearing the worst. He saw her fighting against someone who he had no clue who it was but still somehow found her attractive and very familiar.

He ran to where they were fighting and as Persephone was about to be hit he rushed in and caught the person attacking and she looked surprised when he stopped her hit with one hand. 'Even after all these years my man certainly can still make an entrance. Here I was thinking Naruto had gone soft in these years of peace.'

"Persephone, are you alright? " Naruto asked her and she heard him making her smile." I am fine, Naruto. Nice to see you still care. I am a little angry that you interrupted my sparring match with my daughter but I guess you just wanted to protect me. Now mind telling me how long you plan to hold my daughter like that? "

He didn't realize that he was holding her rather close and he had his arms wrapped around her waist. To anyone else, it would look like a couple holding each other after missing each other for a long time. To the amazons, it was an upfront that he dared to hold their princess in such an intimate way.

"Sorry, I guess I should apologize. I guess I acted out of sheer instincts. I am Naruto, Naruto Okutsuki. I hope I haven't offended you miss. " Mikoto smiled as he probably still thought that she was dead. She was let go but deep down inside she wanted to he held by him some more. She missed the feeling of those magnificent muscles pressing against her.

" I am not offended at all, in fact, I wish you would hold me even closer. I am Diana and you must be the friend my mother and father often talked about. "She was now the one leaning on him and she could tell that he liked the feeling.

" To what do I owe this unexpected visit Naruto. It has been years since your last visit. Not that I am complaining mind you. We had a bit of an accident and we actually need you to help us restore a small part of the Grove. We have been making due with fish. "

Naruto was shaking his head as he understood what the problem was, more than likely this meant that someone had used an improvised fire Jutsu but that was strange to him since nobody in the world could use chakra anymore. He decided to go to the Grove using the seal.

He flashed away catching Mikoto by surprise. He didn't use that Jutsu when they were married. It was a jutsu developed by his father, and so he didn't know it. He must have undergone some severe training since she last saw him.

She ran to where the Grove was and as she got there she saw something she never expected. The plants in the Grove seem to be getting better and stronger as he had his hands on the ground. The Grove was back the way it was when he made it long ago in no time at all. "This makes no sense, people can't use chakra anymore. Mother pretty much cut humans off generations ago. Yet this damage was done with Fire elemental chakra."

She smiled as she heard that, in truth, she was trying to practice her fire Jutsu arsenal but she unintentionally harmed the Grove. "Mother will he happy to see this place back to normal. I would be more interested in getting you to fight a sparring match against me." He looked at her and she looked at him as she finished saying that.

Naruto we never one to deny an honest request and Diana seemed to truly want this, he did not want to harm her too badly so he decided to limit his skills to basic taijutsu. It was a sensible decision in most circumstances but the sparring match was not a normal sparring duel. He didn't know that her rope had special properties.

As he kept evading her attacks, she became more and more impressed with him. He was even better than what she remembered when the two lived as husband and wife. She also saw that he did care since he limited his arsenal and reduced his strength. This made her somewhat happy that deep down he knew who she really was.

The real reason for the sparring match was to get to use her rope. The one thought that often tormented her would finally be cleared. The idea that in his heart was to remain faithful to their love or did he abandoned it after he saw her die?

As the sparring match came to a close she used her rope to lasso him and pulled him close. "I know you consider me beautiful, I can tell from the way you looked at me. I have one question and I need to know the truth. This rope will make you tell no lies."

Naruto looked at her with a dead serious look on his face. She asked the questions she needed to have answered. "Why haven't you dated, even married anyone these thousands of years? I hear even Hera had a bit of a crush on you." Naruto tried as he might the rope made him answer the question.

"I am married, I love my wife with all my heart and soul. How could I even think of entering into a relationship willingly when I always love Mikoto. "

Diana was not expecting this answer, he must be in constant torment since he missed her so much. She had hoped that her absence had not caused him pain but the tears running down his face said that was not the case.

" Are you faithful to your wife? This Mikoto you mentioned. " Naruto said that he couldn't live if he ever was willingly unfaithful to the person he loved.

Diana was smiling almost singing in sheer joy as he said that." Naruto your wife lives, and she is closer to you than you realize. She loves you too and if you make a privacy seal I will be able to tell you, the only other way is by using Tsukuyomi. So your choice, as for me I prefer the genjutsu as it will allow me to talk with you longer without wasting too much time. "

His eyes activated and with a single look, he placed her under the Tsukuyomi genjutsu. She was not tied to the cross instead it looked like a Prarie and it was a field of flowers." We are in the world of Tsukuyomi, I control everything here. Now tell me what you wish to say, where is my beloved wife? "

Diana stepped closer to him and as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He heard her say something that he never considers him saying." For the Uchiha Clan Head you certainly aren't seeing very well, are you? I am standing with my arms around you very much the same way I did the day we got married. "

Naruto looked confused and asked her why would she say that her name was Diana then? She kissed him lovingly on his lips and as she broke the kiss she told him the reason." Hades brought my soul from the underworld during his monthly visit. Persephone made my new body and Hera United my soul and body to allow me to be reborn. "

Diana smiled as he began to place everything together." I don't imagine Zeus would be too happy about that. Is that the reason why you told me your name is Diana? Instead of telling me it was you Mikoto.

She said it was if she or anyone in the current world was to speak where others could listen. Zeus would know his wife was reborn and thus he would do everything in his power to reverse that and send her back to the underworld. "He passed the law that no one could escape the underworld. It is the law that keeps Hades and Persephone separate for all time except got that single day a month."

"You certainly have changed a lot since we last met. I could still remember those horrible food cravings you had when you were pregnant with Sasuke. Pickle flavored Dango, I had to learn to make that sweet from Anko to be able to make it for you. "

She laughed as she remembered those days," You were as bad yourself. Screaming for morphine as you held my hand the day Itachi was born. The doctor said that he could not give me any since it could be dangerous for our child. You told him it was not for me but for yourself. "

Naruto looked at her and smiled," You broke every bone in my hand that day you know. All because you wanted to have our first child through natural childbirth. I am glad when Sasuke was born I managed to at least use pressure point therapy. "

She placed her head on his chest and was happy to hear him heart beat." I wish I could be with you forever, to sleep in your arms again and enjoy my favorite pillow once again. At the very least I wish we could make love once in a while. We haven't been together like that for thousands of years. I am willing to bet you hunger for me as much I hunger for you. "

Naruto looked into her eyes and when they were at eye level he wrapped his arms around her." My beloved, that would make me very happy. I missed you so much you can't see it but I meant every word I told you long ago. You are the light of my soul. I can't ever truly be happy without you by my side. "

She smiled and nodded her head." You are the warmth of mine as well. I guess we both need each other. Too bad we can't make love here, though. This is just our minds after all. Don't despair my beloved husband. We will be together and away from the eyes of those who would keep us apart. Zeus can't send me to the underworld from anywhere but here. I love our home, but if I must leave it to be with you once again I shall. "

Naruto asked why is that he can't send her soul back anywhere but here? She told him it is was a restriction that he was placed under by his wife when she used her powers to resurrect her." I will meet you again, and this time, nothing will separate us again. Who knows you might have already met the reincarnation of both our sons, but you didn't know it. "

The genjutsu ended and they looked at each other with a smile. They came together and gave each other a light and tender kiss on each other's lips." One day, one day you will be back home. " Naruto said as he walked away and left a much happier and smiling Diana.

To say that the other amazons were less than happy was an understatement. A man had just dared to kiss their princess, on her lips to make matters even more infuriating. They were so angry that they didn't notice how happy she was to actually receive that kiss. Every single amazon that saw that drew an arrow and shot at him.

Naruto caught the arrows using his sage abilities. "Thanks, I was wondering what I should make for her as a welcome present and with this many metal arrows I guess I have more than enough materials for my present." Using the creation of all things technique he took them apart and made a beautiful bow and quiver.

"So does that mean you actually care about our princess? " He looked at the Amazon who said that and nodded his head." She is the very light of my soul. I don't simply care for her, I love her. One day we will have out battle in an appropriate place. When that happens I will defeat her and she will be my bride again and this time, nothing is going to separate the two us."
