An excitement filled day in the Himalayas ended for the Uzumaki family with Barbara getting closer to them and also understanding more about Naruto as they shared a cottage together for the night.

The next day, back in Gotham in of the rooms in the basement the girls were sitting around a table. This place was the armory and beside it was the room where Naruto made things, from weapons to armors in honor of his friends and for the needs of his girls.

"Hima, we wish to join you in the heroics." Mea opened up the conversation, directly to the point

"I have no problem with that but do you really understand why I do this?" Himawari said in a calm tone as she flicked a stray hair

"You want to help people and use your powers with responsibility." Mea said slowly watching her expression, which changed into a smirk at her answer

"Tsk, tsk"

"Mea, why would I care about such things? Those people mean nothing to me; I care not for their lives."

"I do this simply because of Daddy. You should already know that Daddy was a fighter, Daddy was the strongest and unbeatable being."

"I look up to that image of the invincible warrior; I wish daddy would be strong again and use the power at his disposal. There are so many beings that can challenge Daddy and Daddy should be excited but has Daddy ever shown his fighting spirit."

"No, Daddy hasn't. So through these actions I will force Daddy to act so that we can finally be together like we should be." Hima said in an emotional tone as she remembered Naruto's body fracturing into pieces 3 years ago when he almost gave up on life

Cassandra was sitting silently alongside Jaina; they had already expected that her actions would have to do with Naruto.

'Father's fighting spirit, truly now that she mentions it when we fight Father feels empty like he is not even there and just going through the motions.'

'What did he look like when he showed his strength and bravery?'

'What did Hima see that I have not seen?' Cassandra felt the desire take root in her heart as she wished to see her father complete

"I want to help, why don't you ask us? We also love father, you can count on us." Mea didn't let those words hurt her, she did feel guilty for being almost selfish but she decided to move on and ask

"Of course, it is easy we just go around as a squad and sometimes individually as heroes around the cities nearby. This will place us in danger but Daddy is always watching us when we leave the house so sooner or later Daddy will give in." Hima explained with a gentle smile that hid the savagery and darkness of a broken child

"What are you girls going to call yourselves?" Jaina asked, she was already in her White Rabbit form and with each of her movements reality shimmered

"Phoenix as I have risen from the ashes and I will always do so" Hima was said in a confident tone as she got up and tapped the wall behind her which revealed the armor. An armor made by Naruto with one year's worth of chakra, every grain was made of pure power that surpassed anything and this armor gave her sense of comfort and the feeling that her Daddy was hugging her tightly.

'Until Daddy is by my side, nothing else matters.'

"Valkyrie, I wish to fight using the power father has blessed me with." Cassandra commented, her armor was much simpler than Hima's but just like Hima's, hers also concealed her identity and allowed full movement with no difficulty while wearing the helm.

"Wasp, father already designed our armors according to our tastes so the name was already chosen for it. I wish to see if the outside world can hurt us when father is protecting us, is it even possible." Mea said as she got up, her voice showed the confidence she held in Naruto's powers as he had given her the life since that day

"Team name Royal Knights, as Daddy is royalty and we shall be his guardians that will save Daddy's heart." Hima said with a chuckle as the armor got equipped with a thought, she was connected to it by the soul

"That's really cheesy but it's better than most of those heroes going around with such embarrassing names." Cassandra said as she got up, the meeting was adjourned and she was not going to join today so it was time to leave

"Good luck and really don't do anything that might hurt father." Cassandra said as she left the room

Hima looked at the retreating back and then turned around, leaving the villa through teleportation.

'She is getting too close to Daddy; I should show her where she stands clearly.'


"Any lead on our mysterious Guardian?" Batman asked as he entered the watchtower

"You are still on it, I am sorry but it's beyond my capability to find him or it. I can't see how they die or what is done; it's just too hard to understand." Zatanna said as she floated in place

"I think I might know who can help you but you should probably give up on that. The Guardian doesn't move so it shouldn't matter much." Wonderwoman commented as she came out of the training room, she had visited Gotham and she had felt something familiar about it all

"That is for me to decide, I would appreciate your help so who is it?" Batman said in a calm tone, he felt he was finally cracking the damn code which had been like a ghost

"Gaia, The Primordial."


"I did not expect to see you like this, Pam." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he saw the team brought by Amanda

"It is nice to see you again, Naruto. A month has gone by and I have wished so much to see you again. Just like you asked I surrendered myself but I didn't wish to stay long inside so accepted the offer and I am so delighted that I can be trained by you." Pamela also known as Poison Ivy said in a happy tone as she hugged Naruto

Pam had come across Naruto as she had been attracted to the extreme natural energy in Gotham which led her to him but she couldn't understand why. She had spent time around him, visited his café and even the restaurant finally she had confessed her love which had formed unexpectedly.

The outcome was predictable and she became friends with him as that was enough but she wanted more so she asked him what she could do.

"Pay your due."

"I am happy that you are becoming a better person and it is nice to see a friend again, I had believed that I would be working with unknown criminals but with you here the time can be better spent." Naruto said in a friendly tone as he kissed her cheek, a reward of intimacy as he knew she had done this for him

"Ivy, I didn't know you had a lover. What about poor old Harley?" Harley Quinn, also known as Joker's bitch, who seemed to have been caught raving in a crazed tone when she witnessed the death of Joker on the day of Miracles.

"I wish but for now he is a friend, do listen to his commands diligently or else I would be cross." Pam said as she looked at her friend

"Cassandra take the rest of them to the training room and assess them following that give them the appropriate tasks." Naruto said as he turned to his assistant who had just come back from the meeting

Cassandra nodded and went towards the rest of the crew who were looking around and standing in one place, their lives were in the hands of a mad woman so they didn't want to tempt fate.

"Follow me, I will assess in you live combat so please try your best." Cassandra said in a formal tone as she signaled for them to follow and led them to a different room

"You really should move on Pam, a beautiful woman like you can easily find someone wonderful." Naruto advised as he walked towards the garden

"But they can't be you so I don't want them and why don't you take your advice, I think it is not right to say things when you can't do them yourself." Pam countered she knew that he was still grieving the loss of family and wanted to fill in the hole but he never let anyone in

"Sorry, I was being too presumptuous. You can do whatever you wish but don't go overboard. Now sit here and meditate, you understand this place is the best for you so train here from now on." Naruto said as he indicated a spot beneath a very large tree, it was clearly 100 m tall and it was the tree which he planted in the honor of Konoha.

"I am happy to be granted such privilege and I will definitely try to make you happy, don't count me out yet." Pam said with a happy tone as she sat done as told

"Sooo, what am I gonna do?" Harley asked as she hopped on her feet, she was distracted easily

"You have a mental problem, a good child corrupted by an insane clown. I will fix you and what you learn from that state will be depending on you." Naruto said calmly as he closed the distance and with a single touch Harley was down.

'This is for Pam but I also wish to help, I guess I can't change my stripes yet.' Naruto thought with a small smile as he placed her beside Pam


"Come now Raven, father dear is waiting for your response." A vile enemy of the Teen Titans and their primary foe, Slade muttered in a teasing tone

"The portal has to be made, the clock is ticking little chick. Do not resist your destiny?"

"Get away from me." Raven exclaimed with anger and hatred, she was alone in quieter part of the city as she wished to think over her situation outside the tower but who would have expected that Slade was working for her father

The dark bolts hurled at the enemy hurled him against the building behind him but no permanent damage, she held back from killing him and he had that armor which protected him from even the strongest of beings.

"Child throwing a tantrum won't do you any good, be a good daughter and help daddy." Slade said as he walked closer to her with his helm having the demonic sign which haunted her dreams, the sight was causing her to become unstable and fear was setting in

"Get your filthy paws of her villain." A shout came from above but before he could even react Slade had been smashed into the ground, if it was any other hero Slade would have survived but it was the Wasp

Wasp punched him in the head with full force with her armored body, an armor that could take beating of the strongest and with the speed of mach 50. Slade had zero chance of survival, his body exploded into pieces with the applied force.

Wasp floated in front of Raven, with her wings in motion while making no noise and unable to be perceived.

"Are you okay, Raven?" Wasp enquired

Raven stared at the remains of Slade and looked at the unknown woman, 'She didn't hesitate to kill.'

"Who are you?" Raven asked cautiously


Three hours after training the new individuals, Naruto walked inside the villa and entered his room. He locked it behind him and the room showed its true color, the paintings of landscape's changed to paintings of his loved ones.

"Move on and change, they say."

"Become strong like I used to Hima says."

"Have I really lost awareness and not realized the change."

"I am too old to be playing with toys, don't you think guys." Naruto muttered as he watched a miniature Konoha operate through manual control by his chakra

"Hima would be sad to see me like this, I should probably erase it. A sign of weakness she would say and I do not wish to make her sad." Naruto muttered calmly as the whole thing was erased

"It's been a long time since we talked Brother. I wish you were here, I regret that I can never pay you back for all the love that you gave me."

"I had planned to find you a wife but it will never be possible anymore. Do you think I can find you again, Gaara?" Naruto said in a quite tone as he touched the painting of his fellow Kage

"If you could talk, you would tell me to move on and be strong. I am trying brother, aren't I?" Naruto asked but no answer was available and he moved on to another after erasing it

'When I change, I will make a better painting of you Brother.'

"Sasuke I apologize that I haven't made time for you but you know I am busy with my daughter. You are happy that I decided to do that, thank you."

"We are bothers by spirit but when that explosion happened, I was unable to protect you and chose my daughter. Was I selfish?"

"I might be. Who knows if you were here we might have found a way but I doubt that. I tried connecting to the souls and guide you here but no response was given, that explosion as expected contained a soul attack. I had felt the sting on my soul when I arrived here, causing me to have lower control over my actions."

"I had contemplated dying as I felt guilty of surviving when I could have just saved more by people if I had just died. But you know Hima would die if I do that, she can't seem to live without me anymore. I didn't think she would be attached to me so much, she did stick to me when she was young and still does."

"I guess I am happy that she doesn't act like the normal kids as I would be too sad."

"Sorry if I bored you with that but for now its farewell, See you later Brother." Naruto muttered in a happy tone as he touched the painting

"Hinata, I hope I didn't make you feel lonely." Naruto said as he sat down on his chair and in front of him was a large painting that he had made personally

She looked as beautiful as ever and that smile brought him pain and joy whenever he looked at it.

"You know Hima has grown so beautiful, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between you two if you stood together."

"She has grown so strong but I feel I might have pushed her too hard and made her attached to me more than ever."

"She doesn't realize it but her heart is corrupt with possessiveness, her love for me knows no bounds."

"I wonder where she got that from." Naruto said in a peaceful tone and chuckled as he imagined Hinata giggling at his words

"Man is weak but for you I will be strong." Naruto muttered as he felt Hima's arms and her warmth as she hugged him

"I love you Daddy so Daddy shouldn't show weakness, I makes me feel sad."

"It doesn't matter how long I takes, I will wash the sorrow of Daddy's soul and make Daddy whole again." Hima said with tears in her eyes, she had teleported and replaced herself with a clone once she felt that Naruto might be doing this again

"What a precious child but I am complete as you can see." Naruto said as he turned around with a wide smile

"Daddy you said you will always tell me what I want. Tell me, was Daddy not feeling sad or was Daddy not feeling the wish to join Mother." Hima asked in a serious tone, the word mother felt foreign for some reason

"I am sorry, you are right princess I was feeling sad but with you here I can never be incomplete because I found in you what was lost in me so together we are a whole." Naruto said as hugged Hima who didn't like hearing that he had been feeling pain

'I need to do this faster.'
