Chapter 5

To say that things in the tower were tense was an understatement. Well tense between Robin and Naruto really. After finding out about Naruto's past Robin didn't really know what to say to him after that. He wanted to know more, but thought it would be better to ask at a better time. After all recalling something like that would have put anyone in a depressed mood. But somehow Naruto was able to mask his sorrow. Much like him Robin could see that he was hiding the pain and heartache of what happened. He was doing a pretty good job of it too, but for someone like Robin it was easy to see. For someone who also lost a loved one i guess you could say that similar minds think alike. When Robin lost his parents during the so-called accident he tried to mask his pain by putting it in his training with Bruce. But even someone like Bruce could see it too. It's never easy to forget about a loved one, more so when you feel like you could've done something about it.

That's why Bruce told him this…

"Robin, its okay to cry...to shed tears for loved ones is never a weakness. But holding it back will only make it rain another day. Until finally you are consumed with grief. So cry Robin...let it out."

That day Robin hadn't cried so hard in his life. It was like a dam releasing a river. All the grief and sadness just washed over.

But looking at Naruto now, it seemed to Robin that history was beginning to repeat itself. He was holding back all his grief and sadness. But sooner or later he would need to let it out. And Robin was more than willing to give him a shoulder to cry on.

As he was thinking this Naruto was the one cooking breakfast for a change. After learning that food had changed over the years he wanted to give it a shot at some cooking. What he was making no one knew. Whenever someone asked he always replied "it's a surprise". Some found the wait to be thrilling while others (Beastboy) didn't have the patience. And so after a while Naruto called everyone in to eat, what they found was….well they didn't know what they were looking at. At the kitchen counter sat 7 bowls of what appeared to be noodles with some veg's and meat….basically Ramen….he made ramen for breakfast. But this Ramen was different looking then what the team was used to seeing. At first glance it looked like miso ramen but something about it seemed different. The broth was a different shade of golden brown, the meat was cooked with light seasoning, the veg's appeared to have been steam boiled, and the noodles had a lighter color to them. (basically they're looking at a home cooked ramen instead of instant)

"Um...what is this?" asked Beastboy. His dish contained mostly veg's and noodles.

"Huh? Its ramen duh…" said Naruto

"What is this Ramen? I have never heard of this before." Said Starfire looking at it like it was an alien….yeah i know shut up

"...are you seriously telling me that this world doesn't know what ramen is?" said Naruto in a serious tone. If he was living in a world where ramen doesn't exist he was gonna throw a fit.

"Well no. to be honest this is the first time i've ever seen something like this." said Cyborg who was poking at his dish like something was gonna jump out.

"I've read about this while looking through my library. At the time this dish was probably the most famous in its time due to its easy recipe and taste. However the recipe was lost to time long ago and no one was able to recreate the stuff….well until now that it." said Raven as she was eyeing the dish hungrily. To her it really seemed good.

"..."

"Naruto? Are you the okay friend?" said Starfire

"Please excuse me for a second."

As he said this Naruto walked out to the balcony. After a view seconds nothing was heard, that was until the earth shook with a resounding scream. Apparently Naruto was happy about the fact that literally NO ONE knew what the dish of the gods were (well in his eyes it was a gods dish). This is what he was screaming

"DAMN YOU, YOU OLD FART!"

Who he was referring to no one knew. Nor would they ask, but they had a feeling.

"Ummmm….what was that about?" said Beastboy

"I think he knows who got rid of the recipe. And he's not happy about it." said Raven happily chowing down on her ramen.

She had to admit, Naruto was one hell of a cook. Simple yet delicious. When the others saw Raven eating they decided to give it a try. After all if Raven can stomach it it couldn't be that bad despite its weird appearance. And once everyone took a bite they felt like the world had shifted into food heaven. They're taste buds felt like they had been graced by god and been given entrance into food paradise. The sweet yet sour flavor of the broth combined with the enriching meat and veg's made this dish feel like it was a god send. When Naruto returned from his little tantrum he noticed the looks on everyone's faces (except raven cause she's stoic) and his foxy signature grin was creeping on his face. He felt proud, proud that his favorite food was shared among friends. It wasn't until Starfire said something that made him realize something.

"Friend Naruto, Are you the okay? Your eyes are leaking."

As she said this everyone turned from they're food paradise to look at Naruto. Low and behold Naruto was shedding tears. Somewhere in his mind this experience reminded him of something long ago. Something that was precious to him.

"Im fine...this just made me remember something long ago." he said as he was wiping his tears away

"What did you remember?" asked Raven intrigued by this

"Well you see...believe it or not i was once a father. Boruto, stubborn and prideful just like me. I swear sometimes i saw my younger self in him. He was rash and wanted attention just like i did. But behind all that his soul was that of a kind and endearing man. Himawari, shy like her mother and gentle as ever. She would bring home so many pets, and she would always tell me that they followed her home. Yet behind all that shyness lied a resourceful woman. Someone that wasnt afraid to take a challenge. Both of them were my diamonds among the coal. I was so proud when they graduated from the academy that i made them some ramen as a gift. The second that they started eating….well they had the same faces of joy and bliss among them. So i guess seeing you guys enjoy my cooking made me think of them. Heh….i miss them dearly. I truely do."

Now if that wasnt heavy shit no one knew what was. In a way everyone was honored that they were about to enjoy his cooking. It reminded him of his family. And to him the titans were his new family.

"Naruto i-"

Just as Raven was about to say something a loud explosion shook the titan's tower. The alarms were going off in frantic panic. The living room screen lit up to show the front door was ripped open, and that the door had a large hand imprint almost as if it was grabbed and yanked out like a curtain. When Robin saw this he went to the console and tried to get a look at they're invader, but it was as if the person in question was both fast and strong. Whenever the motion sensors detected movement the invader seemed to be too fast for the camera to spot them. Who ever this invader was, he was coming in fast. The sensored pointed to the titans that the invader was headed for the main living room. Cyborg got his cannon arm ready and aimed it right for the door. Beastboy turned into a gorilla and beside him was raven preparing her magic. Starfire started flying and Naruto sprouted his wings and got into a defensive position. Robin was frantically typing on the console to try and slow the invader down with the towers security measures. But it was no use since they were either destroyed or dodged. At this point the sensored pointed that the invader was at the door to the living room.

"Titans! Get ready! We have company…" Said Robin as he got his bo staff ready.

"Finally someone had the balls to come at us directly! I was honestly starting to think that bad guys had softened over the years!" Said Naruto as he got his signature Rasengan ready.

Raven was curious about that technique but would have to ask about it later, in less than a second the door was blown off its hinges revealing smoke in the doorway. But stepped forward the titans were not prepared for. From the smoke was none other than Superman. The red caped hero of metropolis.

"Wha? Superman? What are you doing here?" said Beastboy as he transformed back.

But that question wasnt answered as Superman flew straight for Naruto. The impact of the tackle broke the towers glass and next thing that they knew, Naruto and Superman were at the beach next to the tower. The titans rushed outside to try and break the fight apart but the shockwaves of both opponents punches were making it difficult.

Naruto was meeting Superman's punches fist to fist. The speed and power behind them was awe inspiring, the pace at which they were trading blows was almost unbelievable. When a punch was headed for Naruto's head his unreal flexibility made him bend backwards. But just before he got back up Naruto grabbed Superman's fist and pulled him forward, giving him an advantage as he swung his fist right at Superman's temple. The power behind that punch threw Superman to the otherside of the city, leaving behind him a comet's trail. All the while Naruto actually seemed to be enjoying himself. He started to laugh.

"FINALLY! Someone on this planet actually CAN throw a punch! I might not understand your reasoning behind attacking me boy wonder, but DAMN i needed that! You might actually prove to be a challenge! LETS ROCK SUPERMAN!" just as he said this Naruto took off in an unbelievable speed.

At first glance it looked like he was going just as fast as the Flash. But in reality he was going so much faster than that. Just as soon as Superman was emerging from the crater Naruto came in and launched a gut punch which propelled Superman to the sky. Everyone who was witnessing this was either thinking that they were dreaming or maybe had too much coffee. It seemed like every punch was was clearing the skies of clouds. This fight was unlike anything they had ever seen.

Just as Superman was propelled up he began focusing his lasers and aimed them at Naruto. While Naruto noticed this he threw up a Kunai with a little present inside. When Superman was close to releasing his lasers he saw the kunai and grabbed it. Little did he know that the kunai was actually a flash grenade. The explosion and blinding light caused him to miss and the laser headed for a mountain range. Soon after one of the 2 mountains was now gone in a massive explosion.

Trying to recover Superman did the only thing he could think of, he flew upwards. Soon after Naruto followed suit. Superman only reached the 4th layer before he was bitch slapped off course. Yes i said bitch slapped. The resounding echo of the slap was heard even from the surface. To sum it up, damn that had to hurt.

" hehehehe, you know boy wonder? Your the first person that i met since coming here that has given me a decent punch. My blood boils for more!"

"You think this is a game? I'm here to return you to your cage demon!"

"Really? And what makes you think you have the power to do that. Because the way that i see it, your getting your ass handed to you by yours truly. And frankly i'm not going back." said Naruto as he was grinning sadistically just begging for the fight to continue.

"Because i have something that you dont demon. I have friends…"

As he said this Naruto narrowly dodged a sword strike from Wonder Woman, trying to cleave his head off. In one swift movement Naruto grabbed her sword and shattered it within his grip, followed with a spinning high kick to the temple. She reeled from the blow and was caught by Martian Manhunter. As soon as Wonder Woman was back on her feet Manhunter turned into a giant viper and tried to squeeze Naruto. Unfortunately he was unsuccessful as Naruto quickly hit the pressure points of Manhunters body to stop his attack. Just then a green cage entrapped him, looking to the source it was the Green Lantern.

"I got him! Quickly, ATTA-" Said Green Lantern but was quickly cut off as Naruto just punched the bars open.

"Really? You think i cage will stop me? Been there done that. Not going to work. Anyways why are you all fighting me to begin with? I haven't done anything wrong since i got out." said Naruto as he was now relaxed enough to know he had this.

"You were sealed for a reason demon! The gods told me of what you did. The crimes you committed, the blood that you shed, and all the countless bodies. You are a monster that needs to be caged." Said Wonder Woman as she pulled out her lasso with her left and her shield with her right.

Suddenly the area grew dark and cold. The tension in the air was making the justice league hard to breathe. The source was Naruto. He revealed an aura of pure, unadulterated, anger. His eyes were now slits, his claws extended, and his teeth sharpened. In short….he was pissed

"...you think i wanted to do all that? You think i had a choice in the matter? Well i didn't. You think you know everything that happened back then but you don't. Your gods lie to you Diana. Just like they lie to everyone. THEY LIE! THEY CHEAT! AND THEY STEAL FROM THE INNOCENT! I WAS A GOOD KING! BUT YOUR GODS KILLED MY FAMILY! SO DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT YOUR GODS ARE JUST! THEY WANTED WAR!"

"T-thats a lie! Your lying!"

"Look me in my eyes, hook me with that lasso of truth, they'll both tell you the same thing. Your gods killed my family. So in return i killed all they're worshippers, all they're temples burned, and anything that gave them power i destroyed. Because of one simple fact….hell hath known no fury, like a fathers scorn."
