Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Ultimate Spider-Man.
A/N: For the poll, every choice is either tied or a couple away from each other so if that doesn't change by the time I get to episode 10 "Prisoners of War" For Earth's Mightiest, I will do a 2nd poll of the top 20 and an extra 5 to make it an odd number with an odd number to vote with.
Also skipped the next Loki Ep because the Destroyer was just sent into space so I couldn't think of a way to get it back so quickly.

Chapter XXXVII: Journey Of The Iron Fist.
Last Time.
"Leave that to me!" Creating a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) Naruto ran to Man-Wolf. "Iron Fist, throw me!" Naruto jumped into Iron Fists' hands and was flung at Man-Wolf and hit the gem on his chest, shattering it completely. "Rasengan! (Spiraling Sphere!)"
He then saw John started changing before taking him and flashed inside.
Tri-Carrier.
Shinobi turned out J. Jonah yelling about Spider-Man destroying his moon base as the medics looked over John.
A few days go by as the Team was listening to Spider-Man who was telling them that while testing his new Spider-Tracers, he teamed up with Iron Man to fight Juggernaut. And when his tracers didn't work, he went to Stark Industries to see if Tony could help him. But found the employees were being attacked by robotic arms and other machines.
After saving them, Spider-Man explained he found the machines were being controlled by Michael Tan, a disgruntled employee who was then fired after Tony rejected his techno-pathic devices. Michael blamed Spider-Man for being fired and swears he will get his revenge on Stark, activating his latest creation, which seemingly vaporizes him.
But when fixing his Spider-Tracers, and using it again, he found that Michael's molecules had been dispersed, and his consciousness found a new host in his Spider-Tracers. Spider-Man continued that he and Tony teamed up to attack Micheal who called himself Swam after he created countless tracers to form a large body and defeated him by neutralizing the tracers.
And Spider-Man finished the story by explaining Tony kept his tracers to not only contain Micheal but try to save him as well.
Now.
New York; Night, Bridge.
Shinobi watched Iron Fist and Spider-Man spar, Spider-Man without his gloves so he wouldn't rely on his shooters. "Come on! The winner faces me!" Naruto yelled as Iron Fist punched Spider-Man.
Naruto noticed Iron Fist looking around as Spider-Man got up and tried attacking the distracted hero and still couldn't hit him before a fog completely covered the bridge and Naruto heard fighting before dropping down. "Guys?! Talk to me!"
Naruto was then kicked forward where he saw the others with Iron Fist having a cut on the right side of his neck before seeing a ninja in black and gold armor with a kunai on a rope trying to cut him again. Only for Spider-Man to web him to a moving semi-truck and have him fly away. Naruto then helped Iron Fist up before hearing a voice.
"Daniel Rand."
Turning, they saw two tall muscular men in green armor, helmets, and holding spears guarding an elderly man with a long beard wearing white robes.
"Relative of yours?" Naruto asked Iron Fist who shook his head.
"No, (Sigh) I'm sorry Shinobi, I can't explain. Thank you for allowing me to be a guest in your home. Keep my worldly belongings. I have no more need for them."
"… What's going on here?" Spider-Man asked as Iron Fist took his mask off as a limo pulled up.
"He's come to take me home. You've been great friends. Goodbye Spider-Man, Shinobi." Danny said as one of the men put a white hooded cloak on him. "May our paths cross again. Namaste." Danny then got in the limo and left.
"Are you really letting him leave?!" Spider-Man asked Naruto.
"Tempting."
"Tempting?!"
"Yeah, Danny's a billionaire and I think he just gave me that," Naruto said as Spider-Man looked at him with shock. "Look, I'll get him you just go home."
Naruto then ran after the limo where it went to the airport where Danny then got on a private jet with Rand Industries written on it. "What's happening Danny?" Naruto asked aloud before running to the wheels and jumped in the plane.
K'un-Lun.
Shinobi dropped out of the wheel well and looked at the snow-covered area, a monastery, and mountains. "Huh? I guess this is that K'un-Lun place Danny's told us about. Wonder why he had to come back?" Naruto asked before a blade shaped like a hook on a rope wrapped around him and threw him into a snowbank.
"Intruder!"
Sitting up, Naruto saw a muscular man wearing sleeveless green armor twirling the blade that's attached to a pack on his back. He also has a helmet with yellow, eye lens, and a tattoo going across both arms.
"Nah! Visiting Danny to see what the hell is going on!" Naruto replied standing and dusting the snow off.
"No outside infidel may trespass on the sacred ground of K'un-Lun! RAH!" The man yelled before dashing to the ninja.
Naruto flipped out of the way of the blade that was thrown at him before leaning back from a strike. "HIYA!"
Naruto then flipped over the man as he tried to kick him. Landing, Naruto leaned out of the way of several punches before throwing one of his own that the man blocked by bringing his arms in an X. "Stand your ground and fight me with honor!" The man yelled as Naruto dodged more strikes.
Naruto then jumped back as the man got ready to throw his blade before Danny dropped down and hit him with a palm strike.
He's now wearing green sleeveless robes with his emblem on a gold chest plate. "Stop! He's my guest."
"Iron Fist…" The man said standing. "Glad to see you have not grown soft and plump in the outside world, brother."
"Brother?" Naruto asked, walking up.
"Brother in faith, not blood."
"You've forgotten yourself, Daniel… You've thrown yourself in with this fool, you shall suffer the same fate!"
Daniel's fist glowed as he got ready for a fight. "Gladly."
The man threw his blade, only for the man that picked up Danny to grab it in his fingers and throw it, having the man flip onto the ground. "You have forgotten yourself Scorpion. The infidel is under Iron Fist's protection." Naruto's eyebrow twitched slightly at that. "We must honor this decision by our own law." The man said as another man with balding grey hair and beard walked up with a middle-aged Asian woman with her hair in a low bun.
They then walked to the monastery where Naruto and Danny passed an astral projection of Dr. Strange who had a cup in his hand. "Hello, Danny, Shinobi."
"Namaste, Doctor."
"Any reason Strange is here?"
"We're astral plane neighbors, he stopped to borrow a cup of sugar," Danny replied as they went inside a room where a large fire pit was.
"So… Wanna explain what's going on? I know you trained here but that's about it." Naruto said as Danny sighed.
He then sat near the fire, pulled a gold dragon fire poker, and started poking the logs before explaining. "K'un-Lun is a very special place. The mystical heart of the world. As such it has been protected from the outside for centuries. I was a wayward child. Who turned my back on one empire to embrace my destiny with another. I was trained by the elders. And told one day I would usher in an arrow of peace. As king of K'un-Lun."
"So I trained in the ways of honor. And defeated the dragon Sho-Loa (The Undying). And earned the iron fist. But to be king, I had to leave the outside world, forever. I was given one year to say my goodbyes. And get my affairs sent. Instead, I chose to learn with S.H.I.E.L.D., and you. The monks don't trust the outside world. That believes it is to be corrupt and without honor."
Naruto noticed Danny was starting to sweat but thought little of it due to the fire, missing the veins on the right side of Danny's neck turned purple. "There is much to learn from the outside world. The monks are set in their ways. I am to be honor-bound too… Too..." Danny stopped talking and dropped the tool in his hand.
"Danny you don't look so hot," Shinobi commented as Danny ignored him
"Take the throne worse, if I don't Scorpio is next in line. K'un-Lun would fall under his rule. He has turned greedy and self-centered. And…" Danny dropped to the ground and let out a moan of pain. He grabbed his neck where the scratch from earlier was.
"Danny, What's wrong?" Naruto asked, kneeling.
"I don't know. I can't see. It's all dark. Shinobi, I am blind." He answered by glancing up at Naruto.
Later, the elders, Scorpion, and a few guards in red robes, masks like Danny's, and gold chest plates stood in the room as the one elder looked at Danny's eyes.
"Hmm… Daniel's blindness is only temporary. However, he cannot enter the contest."
"Contest?" Naruto asked the elders standing by Danny.
"The return of Sho-Loa. It's the final test to prove if I'm worthy to be king."
"Or if you're not." Scorpion said before turning to the others. "My brother cannot face the trail. Then I become king by default."
"Masters…" Danny said as Naruto helped him up. "Am I not allowed to choose a champion to take my place?"
"Of course you are!" Scorpion said hands on his hips. "If you can find someone foolish enough to face me!"
'This guy's getting on my last nerve.' Naruto thought as three muscular men in armor and helmets ran in.
"Choose your warrior… And choose wisely." The elder said as Danny closed his eyes.
"I choose Shinobi as my champion!"
"What?" Naruto asked, surprised as Scorpion walked up.
"This is an outrage!" He threw his blade at Naruto's foot, having him lift it to rest his foot on the blade before it was pulled back. "Outsiders have neither the purity, honor nor skill to compete!" He finished as Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Look here, Zuko-!"
"But I have chosen," Danny said, interrupting what Naruto was going to say. "And the law is the law."
"Agreed, the Ninja faces the Scorpion in the return of Sho-Loa." The elder said as Naruto glanced over at Scorpion.
Later, Shinobi wearing black robes with metal plating looked on as everyone who lived in the monastery cheered for Scorpion.
"Don't take it personally," Danny said holding a walking stick. "You're a-"
"Infidel? Yeah, got it." Naruto said as Scorpion walked over to them.
"First you taint our ceremony… Now you taint our traditions? Your suit is offensive!"
"Dude, I already don't like you, don't push it by being one of those people!" Naruto said fixing his knife and crossbow on as Danny told him there would be tests for this contest.
Getting ready at a gate, a gong was hit, having Naruto and Scorpion run to a staircase carved into a mountain leading up. "Excuse me!" Naruto jumped over Scorpion and ran up before seeing a hill in front of the top of the staircase.
Then started sliding down and when getting to the bottom of the large hill, took a step before falling. The snow around him disappeared revealing a large quicksand pit as Scorpion ran around the edge when catching up. A rope shot out of the pit as Naruto was pulled up when it wrapped around a large tree branch.
"Could've mentioned there would be illusions, Danny! I was thinking of just traps!" Naruto yelled before running after Scorpion, coming up to a pit with bamboo trees in it. "Huh," Naruto said before jumping on as Scorpion's blade hit where he was standing.
Naruto jumped on the trees followed by Scorpion who randomly threw his blade at Naruto. Naruto landed in the middle and caught the blade in his fingers and blinked. "Cool! That's the first time I did that!" Naruto said before seeing a purple liquid on the edge.
And was quickly kicked several times by Scorpion onto another tree before he grabbed it. "That kick… You're that ninja from the bridge, trying to keep Danny from competing!"
"Ninja? Only you would use an insufficient term to describe a K'un-Lun warrior!"
"Dude that's what I am! My name is Japanese for a ninja!" Naruto said before a red Python started wrapping around him.
Scorpion then ran ahead as Naruto took a breath, having the snake disappear. Naruto then jumped forward and ran after Scorpion. Catching up near the top, Naruto punched Scorpion in the head before jumping above a sweep kick only to fall back as he dodged a throw of Scorpion's blade and landed on his back. Looking up, he saw Scorpion past a goal to pick up a golden crown as gold coins fell on him. Looking past the warrior, Naruto saw a throne before getting up and ran just as Scorpion was buried by the gold coins that fell on him.
"Help me!"
Naruto skids as he just passes the pile before sighing and runs back to pull Scorpion out. Only for Scorpion to hit him and ran to sit on the throne.
"The contest is over my friend."
Looking back, Naruto saw a better-looking Danny with the elders. One walked up to Naruto and one raised his hand. "The Return of Sho-Loa goes to the warrior, Iron Fist! By proxy of his champion, the Shinobi!"
"No!" Scorpion yelled standing up. "I crossed the finish line, I claimed the throne! I am king!"
"This was not a battle to determine physical or combative skill. Sho-Loa reveals the true intent of a person's heart. With honor, comes victory." The elder said before turning to Naruto. "We misjudged you, Shinobi. It appears that you could teach us a thing or two about humility and honor." The elder bowed to Naruto before turning to Danny. "You chose wisely Daniel. Like a king must." He finished placing a hand on Danny's shoulder.
"This is not right!" Scorpion yelled as Danny took several steps away from the group,
"Brother, calm yourself."
"You are worse than this outsider, you left paradise, you left us!" Scorpion said, walking to Danny and punching him back. "You left me!"
Danny skidded to the edge of the cliff and leaned back as Scorpion's blade flew past him before grabbing it as Scorpion pulled it back and landed just in front of him. "You think you can just come back and rule us?! You're tainted!"
Scorpion attacked by twirling his blade as Danny dodge and then kicked Scorpion in the face. They then blocked and dodged each other's attacks before Danny spoke. "I left on a quest for knowledge to better myself. You stayed and brewed in anger and spite! That's why you attacked me in New York."
"You knew?" Naruto asked, crossing his arms.
"Of course, we trained together for years. But I'd hope he'd seen the errors of his ways before it came to this! If anyone has dishonored K'un-Lun, it's you, Scorpion!"
Scorpion jumped to attack with his blade, only for Danny to block it with both his fists now glowing, breaking the blade. Danny then hit Scorpion with both fists before causing a small explosion. Scorpion begged for mercy, only for the elders to exile him before leaving.
Later, Shinobi was saying goodbye to Danny in the monastery before being hugged by Danny. "OK, OK! Back, breaking!"
"Daniel, we were thinking." The elder said, getting Danny's attention. "If more outsiders are like Shinobi, then maybe all of K'un-Lun would benefit from our leader walking among them at least for one more year."
Danny smiled and bowed. "One year. Then I will return and take the mantle, I so graciously have been given. Thank you, master." Danny finished before walking off with Naruto.
"I still get your stuff right?" Naruto asked as they walked down the hall.
A Week Later, Middletown High.
"What?" Naruto asked putting his mask on after getting a text from Ava that Peter and Hulk switched brains.
And was talking to Fury on his watch about how Mesmero had mind-controlled him to order the others to use Mesmero to smarten up the Hulk. But really he tried to take over the Hulk to escape before Spider-Man interfered, to help Hulk out after they helped each other again to stop another villain when he was at K'un-Lun.
Naruto then ran across the roofs seeing Spider-Man, or Hulk in Spider-Man's body fly to a bridge before seeing a man with a rock-like body wearing shorts with a 4 on them.
"Ben?"
Adding chakra to his legs, Naruto ran faster and cursed his bike was being worked on before landing on a cab to see Mesmero get out before dropping behind the villain and tapping his shoulder.
Turning, Mesmero was punched and had his nose broken before Naruto grabbed his arm and punched his nose several times. "Turn them back!"
"OK, OK!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Fury landed as Naruto knocked Mesmero out after switching Spider-Man and the Hulk back.
"All I want to do is help people," Hulk said clearly as the agents aimed their weapons at him. "Everywhere I go, everyone hates me."
"Not everyone Hulk," Naruto said as he and Spider-Man walked up. "There's also the Avengers too."
"Thanks, Shinobi. You're a good friend, but I need to figure this out alone. I need to go." Hulk then bounds away as Fury brings his watch up.
"Wait, Nick! He was speaking in full sentences, even called me by my name instead of Ninja Man. Never said Hulk but 'I'. Maybe that mind thing worked… Besides, hasn't he been through enough?"
Nick sighed before speaking. "Keep an eye on Hulk but do not engage unless you hear from me directly." He then started walking away. "Let's go."
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Jebest4781 and Chaos-PSD.
OK since I've skipped 3 episodes I'll do 3 episodes with the other shows mainly as I want more time before getting to the Deadpool episode for anyone that would like to give out advice on how to write him for a story rather than a comic/show/movie/game as I only read a few Deadpool comics (One being the Lady Deadpool special/issue) the movies and game and I know for some, they've retconned stuff or gotten rid of a power that he had.
So any advice is welcomed.
For the poll, every choice is either tied or a couple away from each other so if that doesn't change by the time I get to episode 10 "Prisoners of War" For Earth's Mightiest, I will do a 2nd poll of the top 20 and an extra 5 to make it an odd number with an odd number to vote with.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.
