The Zenko of the DC

Chapter 3: Unwelcome Guests

It was another night in Gotham city, Naruto could be found inside a Chinese restaurant called the 'White Koi' while dressed in civilian clothing, he was currently eating a bowl of chicken fried rice and mango pudding for dessert whilst conspicuously slipping several grains of rice into the breast pocket of his trench coat for Sigmis to pop out and eat some of them. They were enjoying their meal when they heard the sounds of sirens and several squad cars zoomed by the window of the restaurant much to their confusion.

Naruto quietly took out his headset and tapped into the police frequency to find out what's going on that the police would require trained squads.

[All units report to the harbor, Killer Croc is on a rampage! Lethal force is required to subdue the suspect!]

The blonde quirked an eyebrow at that, but he placed his money on the table to pay for the food before leaving the restaurant. He quickly walked into a nearby alleyway then used a smoke bomb to serve as cover while quickly changing into his battle gear. Naruto ran up the side of the building to the top with Sigmis in its phoenix form following after him. He leapt off the roof and onto Sigmis who had increased its size.

"We need to get to the harbor and fast!" said Naruto, Sigmis screeched in response before taking off at high-speed while leaving behind a trail of fire.

It didn't take them long before they arrived at the harbor where they saw many parts of the harbor destroyed, wrecked vehicles were on fire and the members of the squad were taking cover from the source of the destruction. He is a hulky male with green scaly skin and sharp teeth similar to that of a crocodile with clawed hands and feet which are bare, he also a pair of tattered trouser with a worn brown belt to hold it up.

As of now, the mutant lifted a forklift then flung it at where the enforcers were taking cover. Suddenly a golden chain appeared to wrap around the airborne vehicle and jerked it to the side, altering its original trajectory to miss the enforcers. There was a loud screech as a flaming bird swooped to the ground and someone jumped off its back to land before the mutant.

"So you must be that new hero whom I've heard of, Zenko," said the mutant.

"And I've heard of you, Killer Croc. You kinda remind me of another guy, except he's themed after a shark," said Naruto.

"So…you think you have what it takes to defeat me?" Killer Croc taunted the ninja.

Naruto cracked his knuckles then took a fighting stance "Only one way to find out, don't you think so too?"

Killer Croc let out a bestial roar and charged at Naruto and swiped at him with his claws, Naruto ducked under the swipe then backflipped to evade the follow-up. He dashed forward and lashed out with a punch at his opponent's torso which didn't seem to do much damage and quickly backed when the reptilian man tried to take a bite out of him with his teeth.

"That skin of his must be cushioning physical blows a bit," thought Naruto.

"Then you just have to hit him harder," said Kurama.

Naruto nodded in affirmation and took note that Killer Croc had gone to grab a wooden crate and flung it at him. He stretched a hand out to fire a chakra chain as it wrapped around the crate in midair then he spun once before launching it back to slam into the sender. Growling in anger, Killer Croc grabbed an anchor with a long chain attached which he twirled overheard then swung it at his enemy. Naruto darted from left to right as he avoided the wild swings of the anchor, then he reached into his ninja pouch to take out a kunai as he channeled wind chakra into it. Naruto duck under another swing and sliced the chains apart to disarm an annoyed Killer Croc.

"Come here so I can crunch you to pieces!" Killer Croc roared as he dashed towards Naruto.

"That would be a problem cause…" Naruto crossed the middle and index fingers of both hands then there was a large puff of smoke which faded to reveal several copies standing next to him "…which one do you wanna bite?" he and clones charged back to engage the enemy, they darted from side to side to evade the wild swings though others weren't so lucky and got dispelled from the impact. One clone appeared from behind and fired a chakra chain to wrap around Killer Croc's neck before pulling it hard to hold him back. two more clones seized the opportunity to move in while weaving through a series of handsigns "Wind Style: Beast Tearing Gale Palm!" a mass amount of wind swirled around their hands and extended from them to form two massive demonic-like claws which they swung to send Killer Croc flying through two warehouses. They didn't wait long and something bust through the roof and landed near them to reveal Killer Croc looking quite livid.

"Somebody's mad at me, must be because he sensed that I smiled behind my mask," Naruto taunted.

"Raaaah! You just as annoying as Batman!" Killer Croc raged and lunged at Naruto.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Naruto waited till the last minute to duck under the grab from Killer Croc then he channeled chakra to his right foot then lashed out with a kick powerful enough to launch him into the air. Naruto created two more clones then quickly leapt into the air after him and positioned himself above, the clones shot two chakra chains to wrap around their opponent's arms and pulled him into the ground as Naruto stretched out his hands and formed two blue spiraling spheres in each before diving after him "Rasengan Barrage!" he rammed the attack, driving Killer Croc deeper into the ground to form a large crater.

The dust cleared to reveal Killer Croc laying there unmoving with two spiraling wounds on his torso, Naruto took out a paralysis tag and stuck it on him then he turned towards the audience and called out to them.

"He's all yours, but be sure to double your locks this time cause he might try to break out to find me since I've gotten his attention now," Naruto whistled for Sigmis to swoop down for him to jump on his back and fly away.

Naruto and Sigmis and currently flying over the city park when the former suddenly picked up negative emotions below him with his sensor abilities courtesy of Kurama. He looked below to see several thugs ganging up on a red-haired girl dressing in a costume similar to Batman's but with yellow in addition, he recognized who it is "Yo Sig, I need to swing by and lend a hand. Okay buddy?"

Sigmis screeched in affirmation before flipped backwards and shot out a chakra chain for the phoenix to grab with its talons, Naruto continued to lengthen the chain as he drew close then lashed out with both feet to slam into the head of a thug, knocking him into another. Everyone turned towards the newcomer and their eyes widened upon recognizing who it is "Yo Batgirl, hope you don't mind if I join in?"

Said heroine simply shook her head "I don't mind, there's enough to go around,"

"That's cool," Naruto turned his attention towards a pair of thugs wielding iron pipe and baseball bat lunged at him "Talk about one-trick ponies," he evaded a swing from the thug's pipe and responded with an uppercut which popped him into the air and performed a cartwheel to the side to dodge another from the thug with the baseball bat to a handstand then lashed out with a double kick to the head. Naruto quickly leapt after the airborne thug to grab him then flipped in midair to fling him below at the downed cohort in a heap. Naruto turned to observe Batgirl combat her opponents and was quite impressed with her style, from his point of view she could be ranked mid-Chuunin. Batgirl just punched a thug in the face and twirled to launch a roundhouse kick to knock away another sneaking up from behind before hearing a click and turning around to see the first thug aiming a gun at her.

He was about to pull the trigger when something whizzed through the air and sliced off the muzzle before hitting a nearby tree trunk with a thunk. Both were shocked but Batgirl was quick to recover and lashed out with a snap kick to the thug's head, knocking him out. She took out a pair of handcuffs and linked them to two thugs each while Naruto helped out by using ninja wire to tie up the others, soon afterwards they turned to face each other.

"I guess I should thank you for helping me out with these guys…twice. They had been causing trouble for the people every night," said Batgirl.

"It's no big deal at all, I find it a pleasure to help out a beautiful girl such as yourself," Naruto's eyes widened in shock behind the mask "Wait…did I think that aloud?"

"Smooth kit, like sandpaper," said Kurama with a smirk, before laughing when Naruto stuttered in response.

"He thinks I'm beautiful, I don't know how to respond to that," Batgirl was thankful her mask being able to cover up her blush, she snapped into attention when she noticed that the ninja was calling out to her "Oh what were you saying?"

"I was saying that you're much more friendly than Batman, he was really getting on my case about who I am and if I am a threat to anyone," said Naruto with a shrug.

"Well you did just show up from out of nowhere and started helping people without cause or reason, that and Batman isn't really a trusting person," said Batgirl.

"Believe me, our first encounter told me a lot,"

"But I'm also wondering why you took on this hero business myself?"

"One doesn't need a reason to help, but if anything my mom and dad had always believed me to be a hero and I want to live up to their expectations," said Naruto with a warm smile in memory of them.

"That sounds like a nice to do, I've been wondering about another thing but is that a phoenix?" Batgirl glanced at the flaming bird perched on the ninja's shoulder and was surprised that the trench coat wasn't burnt from the flames.

"You're right about that, Sigmis was found during my training over at Japan. My buddy displayed his powers during a fire outbreak at Metropolis," said Naruto with said bird flapping its wings and chirping happily "Well I better get going, already had a bout with Killer Croc down at the harbor and could use some R&R,"

"You fought Killer Croc!?" Batgirl was stupefied at what he just said.

Naruto simply shrugged "Yeah, he was giving the cops some trouble so I stepped in to help them out. That plus helping you detain these boneheads who thought school was boring to them,"

Batgirl giggled at the last comment "Supergirl was right about you, you're different from the others,"

Naruto tilted his head "You know Supergirl?"

"Yeah, we teamed up some time ago to take on Livewire, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn,"

"Oh I know the former, wanted to ask her whether she charges up car batteries for some small change,"

"Hahahahaha! I would pay to see the look on her face when you ask her that!"

"Then I'll put it on my to-do list then, I'll see ya later," Sigmis flew off of Naruto's shoulders and increased in size before he jumped on and rode away with Batgirl watching on.

"Kara's right about him, too bad she got to see his face underneath that mask. I would like to see for myself if those whisker marks she was talking about were real," thought Batgirl.

Elsewhere, Naruto and Sigmis had arrived at their situated hideout where the blonde took off his gear and went to take a shower after having reconnected the waterline, he went to bed with Sigmis reverting to its chick form and cuddling up to him. Bidding both the young avian and bijuu goodnight, Naruto fell to a peaceful sleep while dreaming of Konoha and his friends…suddenly his dream changed to him viewing green-skinned humanoids beings attacked by unknown creatures and there was chaos and destruction from his point of view. Naruto shoot up from his bed, panting with his heart beating quickly and sweat flowing down his forehead while Sigmis was startled from being woken and chirped in worry.

"*Huff huff* what the heck was up with that dream? Did you see it too Kurama?" asked Naruto.

"That I did and it doesn't originate from any of your memories, it came from an outside source," said Kurama.

"You mean someone sent that dream into my head? But for what?"

"From our perspective, it looked like the white beings were attacking the green beings' home and laying siege on them. It must be some sort of warning for us,"

"You mean that someone is trying to warn us that those white guys are coming to this planet? In that case, I don't think I'm the only one getting these dreams then,"

"It's possible that Superman may have also received it as well, given that he's one of the strongest heroes here," said Kurama.

Naruto let out a yawn "Well we could return to metropolis and have a small chat with the guy if he did have it, but for now I'm going back to sleep and I hope I don't get that crazy dream again," Naruto laid back on his bed and was almost asleep when his phone started ringing much to his annoyance, he picked up the phone and scrolled to see that it was an email then read the contents before finally going to sleep, not before mumbling something about having something else to do when at metropolis.


The next day, we find Naruto riding on Sigmis as they flew through the skyscrapers of Metropolis. Naruto was currently scrolling through the messages he had received since he woke up in the morning. He looked over to see that they were drawing close to the publishing and had Sigmis dive into an alleyway where he changed into casual clothing before making his way to the building and went inside it. he walked up to the door of the director's office and knocked on it a few times before he heard a voice to enter to which he complied and saw the person in question signing several documents on his desk.

The director perked up and smiled upon seeing Naruto enter "Ah mister Naruto, just the man I was waiting for,"

"Yes sir, I saw your email last night and took the morning train to get here," Naruto replied.

"I'm glad that you could make it here in good time and I have to say congratulations to you and your godfather cause once the novel hit the bookshelves, everyone scrambled for a copy till there none left and began making many numerous requests for another distribution or a release of a sequel, my boys in the press are making themselves busy with more copies," the director reached into the cabinet below his desk and took out a white envelope which he held out to Naruto "Here's your first paycheck, try not to spend it all in one place,"

"Thanks very much," said Naruto with a smile while receiving the envelope then opened it to read the amount written on the check and let out a low mental whistle at what he saw.

"Goes to show the large number of closet perverts in this place," said Kurama, Naruto ignored him and paid attention to the director as he spoke.

"My boys in the press are making themselves busy with more copies to keep up with the readers' demand, I also intend to introduce the next installment after sometime," said the director.

"Ok sir, just let me know when it is needed then I'll be sure to provide the next one for publishing," said Naruto.

"Like I said before, it will be a pleasure working with you," the director stood from his seat with a hand extended,"

"Same here," Naruto took the hand in his and shook it with a smile.

Then he left the building and was currently swinging through the city with Sigmis flying next to him "Now that we're done with that, we should go looking for Superman and have a chat with him about this supposed warning," he swung to the top of a skyscraper and went into a cross-legged position in order to draw in natural chakra to achieve sage mode. The issue is that due to the area being heavily industrialized, there was a serious lack of nature which in turn means the time taken to absorb natural energy will increase while it would be the opposite if he were to be in an area with a large majority of nature. It took Naruto about five minutes until he was able to activate Sage Mode then started to scope around for Superman's energy signature and so far he wasn't locating it "Better move around a little to find him," he jumped off the building and took to swinging through the city.

After hours of waiting and searching the entire city until nighttime, Naruto came to an annoying conclusion…Superman wasn't in the city and he has been unintentionally stood up! The ninja sat at the edge of a building, eating a cup of ramen while grumbling something about people not being where they're supposed to be at the time among other things, even Sigmis was annoyed about its master having his time being wasted as well.

"I came all this way aside from getting paid to have a talk with Superman about something important only to wait for this guy to show up from who knows where?!" Naruto ranted as he finished what's left of the ramen for him to casually toss the empty cup over the edge of the building to fall into the open trashcan below "Might as well go and get a room in a ho…huh?" he was about to deactivate his Sage Mode when he picked up a rather familiar energy signature west of his position.

"I wonder what he's doing here, especially out of his territory?" said Kurama.

"Only one way to find out, Sigmis I need a ride!" he leapt onto Sigmis's back and directed it towards where the signature was located as they took off. The duo flew past the city outskirts and over a large pine forest until they came upon a single building with a giant satellite dish surrounded by a mesh fence with a signboard which Naruto read it to be 'Wayne Tech: Metropolis Sub-Station'. Naruto noticed that several people were on top of the satellite dish, he saw a trio of scientists were facing off against Batman whom he tracked and someone else was with him.

He's a black-haired man wearing a blue bodysuit with a red and yellow emblem of an 'S' on the chest, a long red cap, and red boots. Naruto immediately recognized him to be Metropolis' Man of Steel, Superman.

"There's the guy I was looking for this whole time…but there's something up with those scientists, they don't feel human at all," thought Naruto.

"Not to mention that the negativity in their emotions are rather strong," said Kurama.

Naruto nodded in agreement, then he saw the scientists make a run for it with Batman and Superman pursuing them "Might as well help them out with detaining those guys,"

They were just about to swoop in when Naruto suddenly clenched his head in pain as the visions from last night assaulted his mind and apparently the same could be said for Superman who plummeted to the satellite much to Batman's confusion. One of the scientists took out some sort of device and pushed a button, causing some beeping sound to be heard. Batman quickly went to pick up Superman and jumped off whilst using his grapple gun to swing away right as the sub-station began to explode. Naruto was able to recover from the throbbing pain in his head and looked to see the duo get knocked into the air by the explosion, he quickly fired two chakra chains from his palms to wrap around their waist then Sigmis carried them away from the destroyed building before placing them a safe distance and landing on the ground. Not too far from the destroyed building, they saw the scientists stand up with broken bodies which instantly repaired themselves then they walked away with one of them smirking at the heroes. Naruto wanted to pursue but he needed to check on both Batman and Superman.

Batman narrowed his eyes upon seeing the ninja once again "What are you doing here?"

"Same could be said for you, but if you must know I came to Metropolis to have a talk with Superman about something important when I sensed both of you over here and came to check things out," Naruto replied.

Batman was about to question him further when they heard a groan and turned to see Superman sitting up with a hand on his head "Wha-what happened?"

"You tell me," said Batman.

"I don't know…I saw images and they were so intense….and then that's all I remember," Superman looked over Batman's shoulder to see Naruto "And you must be Zenko, I've heard about you and my cousin told me about how both of you worked together to fight Livewire,"

"It's nice to meet you too Superman, but I actually came to Metropolis today to talk to you about something important and it concerns those images you saw earlier," said Naruto.

Superman raised an eyebrow whilst Batman paid rapt attention "You know of them?"

"Yeah, I saw those images in my dreams and I took some time to figure that they're some kind of warning. So I thought to come over to see if you were receiving the same thing and I can see that you saw them too," Superman nodded in affirmation to Naruto's statement.

"Then it might have something to do with those 'scientists' since they obviously didn't want to leave behind any trace of evidence," Batman spoke up.

"What do you mean?" asked Superman.

"Over the past few months, I've detected several security breaches on our monitoring network,"

"And no one's taken responsibility?"

"No…but this might lead to something more than I thought,"

"There could be someone or something trying to weaken your security for something vital to its plans," said Naruto.

"I wish I could stay and look more into this but I'm expected back at Metropolis," said Superman.

"Another key to the city?" Batman spoke sarcastically.

Superman reached into his utility belt and took out a pair of wristwatches which he held out to Batman and Naruto "Here…they're signal watches, call if you need any help,"

"In that case…" Naruto after taking the watch then reached into his ninja pouch and took out what appears to be a three pronged kunai with intricate inked markings on the handle "This is my Hirashin kunai, if you need me then all you need to do is throw it and I'll appear instantly,"

Superman reluctantly took the kunai, having just met the hero before flying away but Naruto didn't give Batman one as both aren't exactly on friendly terms. The Dark Knight turned to speak to the Shinobi only to find said person and phoenix gone without a trace…he kinda finds it ironic since he does the same thing to Commissioner Gordon and his allies.


Naruto was at Gotham city and was perched on the spire of a clock tower as he watched a live stream video of the Metropolis news channel on his IPhone.

[Good evening, this is Snapper Carr reporting. It's been six months since Senator J. Allen Carter's disarmament plan was gratified. While Superman has been working round the clock to disarm hundreds of deadly warheads, public support had swelled]

The screen changed to Superman taking apart the missiles stored within the artillery room then switching to the citizens cheering him on in approval of his actions.

[Yet some remain skeptical]

The screen switched to Snapper Carr having an interview with a man wearing a red bodysuit which has a mask with yellow wing ornaments on both sides, lightning bolt designs on the waist and gloves, yellow boots and the emblem comprising of a lightning bolt over a white disc on the chest. Naruto recognized him to be The Flash with the title of the Fastest Man alive which kinda makes him have thoughts of challenging the hero to a race with his chakra mode.

[Ey! The big guy's heart is in the right but give me a break, I'm the fastest man alive] The Flash dashed in a red blur to appear behind the reporter to tap him on the shoulder before returning to his previous position [And even I can't be in five places at once]

[Still, with more missiles being dismantled every day, most of us can rest knowing that Superman is watching over us] said Snapper Carr.

Naruto ended the streaming with a slight frown on his face, true those nuclear missiles possess great potential for destruction but on the other hand, it is the strongest offensive weapon against opposing forces. He could also acknowledge that Superman was pretty powerful judging from his past milestones but Flash has a good point, the Man of Steel can't possibly shoulder the entire world's burdens all by himself. Naruto's past experiences back in the Elemental Nations and a temporarily resurrected Itachi taught him to rely on others to achieve his goals.

"Kurama, I get the feeling something big is gonna happen and we're all going to be caught unawares," thought Naruto, he could sense a wave of concern from Byakko as well over the matter.

"Same here, the brooding man's word about the network being breach and this disarming of the missiles are too closely linked to that dream which we're still receiving every night," said Kurama.

"Yeah, it's making me feel edgy too…hmmm?" Naruto heard a strange sound and looked up only to be surprised upon seeing a large flaming meteorite fall from the sky crash into the middle of the city "I wonder what that is? I better go and check it out," he leapt off the building and swung in direction of the crash site with Sigmis flying alongside him for further investigation.


Over at Metropolis, Clark Kent was in the bathroom and washing his face at the sink. After watching the late news about him as Superman disarming the missiles to the citizens' approval, he went to bed for a restful night when he was assaulted with the grotesque visions once more and was the reason why he went to the bathroom to clear his mind. His thoughts strayed to the new hero whom he had met with Batman and recalled how he too had the same visions and spoke of them as warnings but can't seem to figure it out though. He also remembered feeling a little ticked when Kara spoke about Zenko as she stuttered in certain parts during their conversation with a flustered look on her face, making him suspect that she must have used her X-ray vision to look through his mask and had intentions to have another talk with the guy.

*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep*

His super hearing suddenly picked up the sound of beeping which he recognized to be coming from one of his signal watches that he had given to Batman and Zenko, he quickly put on his suit and took to the air whilst tracing the sound to an abandoned Star Labs building. He went inside and looked around as the sound got louder then he saw a familiar gloved hand holding the signal watch underneath two fallen metal shelves.

"Oh no, Batman!" he quickly flew over and flung away the shelves to reveal the unconscious Dark Knight before scooping him up in his arms. He was planning to carry him to the hospital when he suddenly noticed something flying by through the window and saw it to be a large flaming meteor as it crashed into the city's park. Superman flew overhead and placed Batman under care of the medics nearby and went to investigate the meteorite as the firefighters worked on putting out the flames with the SWAT team nearby for any potential and the media had also arrived to record the whole thing.

"Look at the size of that thing!" said one of the squad members in wonder.

"Stay back, it's still hot," said another cautiously.

Suddenly something burst out from the meteor, revealing to be a white and red leg which came down towards the two squad members and almost crushed them had it not been for Superman's timely intervention, then two more legs burst out before standing upright to reveal a central bulbous head with a red 'eye' supported by them.

"Incredible…is it some kind of a machine?" Snapper Carr asked in wonder.

The strange being's 'eye' narrowed before a red laser beam shot out of it and destroyed a nearby police car, that was more than enough to let the people know that it wasn't friendly in the least bit so Superman flew at it with a fist reared back only to be blasted by a laser beam and sent crashing down to the ground unconscious. The policemen and SWAT squad all opened fire at the hostile organic machine but to no effect and had to scramble out of the way. Suddenly, a pair of missiles slammed into the walker and it came from a black jet in which a recovered Batman was piloting it, however the projectiles had not effect on the walker and quickly took evasive action from its return fire.


"What the heck is this thing?!" Naruto yelled as he swung around to avoid red laser beams being fired at him. when he had arrived at where the meteorite had crashed with the fire department and police already on the scene when it burst from inside to reveal something out of a Sci-Fi movie and it started firing laser beams all over the place and destroying buildings with the police's firearms not even able to dent it, so Naruto swung into action to help out.

"Some things remain the same no matter where we go," Kurama mused out loud.

"What do you mean?" thought Naruto as Sigmis performed a barrel roll to evade a laser beam aimed at them.

"Just recalling the number of times that Konoha was invaded and you had to defend it every time, and now you're doing it here,"

"I see your point but less reminiscing and more attacking!" Naruto ducked under another laser beam and called out "Circle around it Sigmis, I'm going to make it kiss the ground!" the phoenix screeched in affirmation then performed a nosedive with increasing speed as it flew in low whilst darting from left to right to avoid incoming fire, Naruto shot a chakra chain to wrap around one of the legs and proceeded to fly around it several times for the legs to close in together which caused the walker to lose its balance and fall to the ground. Overhead, Naruto leapt off Sigmis' back as the purple dragon tattoo glowed and the spear appeared in his hand "Pierce through with the ever sharp winds, Byakko!" he reared the spear back as purple wind swirled at the tip before hurling it at the prone walker to pierce through its 'eye' then flying back into his hand "Well that takes care of it,"

"Naruto, I'm sensing more of these things making their way here from the atmosphere," said Kurama.

"More of them? Hang on…you don't think that…" Naruto trailed off not wanting to finish his thought.

"I'm afraid so, they must have been waiting for this very moment when the planet is vulnerable,"

"Dammit, this must be want the visions were warning us about! I'll need to regroup with Superman and hopefully push these guys back, till then I'll have my shadow clones help evacuate the citizens to safety," Naruto crossed the middle and index fingers of each hand to create a mass number of duplicates as they saluted the original before moving in different directions to carry out their assigned mission.

Naruto homed in on the Hirashin kunai given to Superman and disappeared in a yellow flash then he appeared in the middle of a street littered with debris and wreckages of vehicles. He looked up to see Superman fly straight at an alien walker near the bridge and punched it consecutively into the side then he punched through the 'eye' and was tearing it open when the walker blasted him away into the side of a building with debris falling on top of him. Batman flew overhead in his Batplane to fire another pair of missiles at the walker but to no effect still.

"Better get in there and help them out," Naruto dashed towards the alien walker while quickly weaving through a set of handsigns rapidly "Water style: Water Dragon Bullet!" he got to the edge of the seaway and leapt high into the air right as a mass column of water shot up and took on the shape of a dragon before landing on its head, the water construct let out a roar and rushed at its target as the walker fired it to be destroyed but Naruto had jumped off as the blue dragon tattoo on his back glowed before the O-katana materialized in his hands which he unsheathed with the blade coated in blue flames "Gunshin, deflagrate with the flames of the Dragon King!" Naruto raised the katana above his head and brought it down to cleave the alien walker cleanly into two, then Sigmis flew underneath to carry him away.

He then heard a cracking sound and turned to see a similar meteorite breaking open for two more alien walkers to appear out of it and started firing at the city like the first one.

"Man, these things keep on coming and I even want to think about the other countries currently under attack by them…but this is no time for complaining," Naruto got ready to attack once more when his mind was once again assailed from the visions "Oh come on, not now!" soon they stopped and he shook his head in order to clear his thoughts. But what he saw next surprised him…Superman was actually flying away from the battle "Where is he going?"

"Don't look now but Batman has gone after him," said Kurama.

"Guess we're following after them too," Naruto created another mass number of clones to help out with the evacuation and defense of the citizens in Metropolis before commanding Sigmis to fly after the heroic duo.


On an island unknown to all except for the inhabitants, two women dressed in white one-piece garments, sat on horses as they stood at the beach and staring into the horizon.

"These omens don't bode well, mother. Mankind may be facing its darkest hour," said the black haired woman with worry.

"Then mankind would have to face it alone," said the blonde haired woman stoically.

"How can you say that?"

"Whatever happens beyond these shores is not our concern," the blonde steered her horse back to their home "Here the gods will protect us,"

The black haired woman felt unsure "I hope you're right,"


Back with Naruto, he and Batman tracked Superman down to a snowy mountainous area where there is a military base built into a mountainside. They also saw tipped over trucks and jeeps, and disabled tanks. They landed on the ground and took note of the hole in the wall which they passed through. The duo walked down the hall when Batman took note of a slightly ajar door and approached to open it only to be stunned upon seeing a large cluster of what appears to be pods with half naked people imprisoned inside of them.

"What the heck happened to them?" asked Naruto in worry.

"I found the original trio of the scientists we saw before inside pods with the abandoned Star Labs warehouse, I suspect that these invaders were on earth before this invasion occurred and were responsible for the recent events," said Batman.

"We need to find Superman and see why he came here, we'll free the prisoners once the place is truly safe," Batman nodded in affirmation to the ninja's suggestion. They then heard the sound of loud banging against metal and traced the sound to see Superman punching away at a huge metal door, Batman flung a batarang to hit the wall next to him to catch his attention.

"Hold it Superman! Destroying government property isn't your style, what's going on?" asked Batman.

"See for yourself," Superman pulled the steel door out and tossed it aside, they walked through a room ladened with computers which seem to monitor the health of something, then Superman broke through another door for them to see something rather familiar to Naruto…it was a green humanoid alien which was currently shackled up with machinery.

"It's one of those aliens from the visions!" thought Naruto.

"He must have been the one to send them," said Kurama.

"What is it?" asked Batman.

"Mankind's only hope," Superman replied, then he pushed up twin levers to deactivate the shackles and catch the alien when he almost fell "He has been trying to reach me and possibly Zenko telepathically but that stasis field interfered. When his message finally broke through, I came to rescue him,"

"What's he doing here?"

"It must have something to do with the invasion," said Naruto, then the alien looked up to them.

"You're indeed correct about it," Naruto and Batman were taken by surprised upon hearing the voice of a male in their minds "I came to warn you but I was captured and imprisoned here, they wouldn't listen,"

"Big surprise," Batman spoke sarcastically.

"I sense you do not trust me, perhaps this will help," the alien then transformed into a more human shaped form while wearing a blue cape with a high collar which has two red straps crossing his chest in an 'X' formation, blue tights with a red belt and yellow buckle, and blue boots "I am J'onn J'onzz," the alien held his hand out in greeting but Batman didn't budge.

Naruto was the one to take his hand and shake "It's nice to meet you, Batman isn't exactly a trusting kind of guy. Tried to interrogate me the first time we met," ignoring the stare at the back of his head while Superman had to agree to the ninja's statement.

The trio were making their way out of the base with Superman intending to have them go and meet with the joint chiefs to plan a defense against the invaders when they were suddenly flashed with bright lights and they saw the military army with their firearms aimed at them.

"Stop right there Superman, you're trespassing in a restricted area! Our orders are to keep that freak in!" said the apparent leader.

Superman stepped forward to speak with the commander "Wait! I'll vouch for him, you must let us go!"

"I don't think so,"

Superman was about to plead further when Naruto stood next to him and summoned Gunshin to his hand much to his surprise "Zenko, what are you doing?"

"Facing an imposter, the real commander is stuck inside a pod back in the base," said Batman having seen the original with Naruto.

The 'commander' upon this and spoke up "Which is more of a reason why none of you will be leaving here alive," then he along with the 'soldiers' behind him began to transform into white and black humanoids with three red dots running vertically down one side of their faces. The aliens slowly approached the heroes with their guns aimed at them to fire.

All Naruto could think was "Kurama was right, some things never change no matter where you go,"


This is Hussbek online with the latest chapter, it was a night just like any other night with the exception of taking down a high ranked criminal and helping out one of Batman's entourage. He ends up receiving some sort of vision which he seeks out Superman to find out whether he received the same thing only to find out that something else was going on that might relate to them. Months later, he finally finds out the reason of the visions in that of an invasion. Now finding the being responsible for the visions, Naruto, Batman, Superman and the recently rescued J'onn J'onzz are in for a battle where one has to play hard or go home with nothing but destruction.

After much discussions and requests, I've decided to pair Batman up with Selina Kyle/Catwoman and add Wonder woman and Harley Quinn to the harem. Be sure to read and review as always.

This is Hussbek from Ghana.
