Chapter XXXII: Starcrossed.

Last Time.

"Naruto!" A purple blur crashed into Naruto, revealing Anko with a sake bottle in hand, and a small blush on her cheeks. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and pulled him in close. Unintentionally pushing his face against her chest. "I gotta..(hic).. Ask you something." She said with a hiccup as she pointed to Barb at the bar area, ignoring the glare from Mei. "That cat chick of yours..."

"Yes...?" Naruto said before pulling back and took a drink as Anko looked to him. "Have you two ever done it in her cat form?" Naruto spat his drink out before sputtering. "I don't think that's any of your business!" He yelled out getting Anko to chuckle before passing out in her drunken stupor.

A Week Later; Konoha Hot Springs, Men's Side.

Naruto groaned as he rested against the bank. "A week of partying... I wonder if they partied that long after I was transported?" He asked not noticing shadows at the sliding door. "Oh Naruto." Naruto jumped as he heard Kara speak up. Looking to his left, he saw Kara, Barbara, Barb, Diana, and Shayera walking in wearing nothing but towels.

"W-What are you all doing on the men's side?!" He asked as Kara smirked. "We rented out the hot springs today... Kakashi paid for it before walking off giggling." She said before they took off their towels, and walked into the water. Suddenly, two more shadows walked in, making Naruto's eyes widen.

"Oh that's right, I forgot." Kara said as the mist cleared revealing Anko and Mei both with their hair down, also in towels. "Anko will be the Ambassador between our Worlds, and Mei formed an alliance with Konoha. One where it'll be solidified with a marriage between you two." Anko and Mei removed their towels, and slowly walked in.

They all swam over to Naruto, making him gulp. He looked to Kara, who looked at him with half-lidded eyes and licked her lips. "To the victor, goes the spoils." Kara finished, straddling him.

Now.

Konoha, A Few Days Later; Early Morning.

Naruto, wearing only black pajama pants, walked out in the hall of the home he bought in the housing district. He walked past a room, and heard a moan through the cracked door. Walking to it, he smiled as he saw Anko on a bed, sheet covering her modesty as one leg was out above the sheet.

"You alright, Anko-chan?" She looked to him, and smiled weakly. "I'll let you know once I get the feeling back below my waist. Damn, if I'd known you had stamina that could last for days I would have gotten you sooner." Naruto chuckled at that. "Yeah? Like maybe back during the Chunin Exams?" She gained a thoughtful look before smiling. "Oh yeah, I grabbed you from behind after cutting your cheek, and licked the blood off my kunai."

"The only time I was both scared, and turned on." Naruto said as Anko blinked before he continued. "Scared as you cut me, and turned on as you pressed your breasts on my back. I was barely a teenager back then." He walked out as she rubbed her legs to get the feeling back in them. "Damn it! I hate going through that pins and needles crap."

He walked down the hall, and almost into Mei, who walked out of her room in nothing but a blue black-trimmed robe showing her cleavage and came down to her mid-thigh. "Morning Mei-chan." Naruto greeted as he wrapped his right arm around her waist, and pulled her in for a hug.

"Morning Naru-kun." She greeted with a kiss before turning around, and walked with a sway in her hips. "I can't stay long. I need to get back to my Village." She said going to the steps. Only to stop as Naruto flashed in front of her, gave her a Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) kunai and a remote. "So you can get ahold of me."

"Hey Naruto, better hurry and eat! We're going back home after breakfast!" Barb said as they walked down, and saw her in her black shorts and tank top cooking in her cheetah form. "Naruto." Naruto looked to Mei, who sat down. "I saw you talking to Hinata yesterday." Naruto nodded before speaking.

"Yeah... She had feelings for me before I went to the other Earth... We were talking about that." Mei smiled at that before speaking. "Ohh... So..." She trailed off as he smiled. "Turns out she... Got over her feelings for me because it looked like I wasn't coming back. I was gone for three years after all."

He sighed at that causing Mei to speak up. "You sound disappointed." He nodded before speaking as he gestured to himself. "Yeah, how does anyone get over this?!" She deadpanned as the other girls walked down with some only wearing a shirt and panties, while the rest wore bras and pajama bottoms. "I think you'll be fine."

"Naruto." Naruto looked to Barbara, who's wearing a white shirt and black panties. "What was that envelope you gave Tsunade?" Naruto sighed before speaking. "Jonathan's Hospital file... She hasn't found anything concrete, but she's still looking into it for us." He finished having her nod as Anko came down in a bra, and purple pajama pants.

Naruto's House, Smallville. Next Morning.

The light of sunrise shone through the window of Naruto's room. Naruto stirred as the light hit him, opening his eyes to see a nude Kara stretching beside the bed, making him smile. Getting up, he felt a weight on his side. He looked to his left and saw that and equally nude Barbara was cuddled up to him. Naruto gently removed himself from her, making sure not to wake her up, walked over and hugged Kara from behind.

"Morning, beautiful. Stretching like this first thing in the morning, are you trying to get an encore from last night's performance?" he said while kissing her neck making Kara moan, "Mmm, like I need to try with a horn dog like you. And seriously, how many times is enough for you?" She asked smiling.

"Hmm, I could ask the same of you, Ms. Super Insatiable." he said, emphasizing 'Ms. Super Insatiable' by massaging her chest. As Naruto was enjoying hearing Kara's moans, he jumped when he felt a pair of hands wrap around his waist. "Good Morning, Naruto, Kara. Having a bit of fun without me?" The pair turned to see a smirking Barbara.

"Oh, good morning, Barbara. Sorry, we didn't mean to wake you." he said, scratching the back of his head. "Oh, no need to be sorry, stud. In fact..." Barbara trailed on while moving around to face Naruto, alongside Kara. "I'm looking to get that encore you mentioned. What about you, Kara? You up for it?" she asked.

Kara grew a smirk and then pushed Naruto back onto the bed. "Whoa! You sure you two want to do this now?" he asked. "It's just dawn, we have an hour or two before everyone starts waking up... Unless, you don't think you can pull off that encore performance?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow while looking over Naruto alongside Barbara, who had the same questioning look.

Naruto looked to them and grinned. "And disappoint my two lovely ladies? I think...NOT!" he exclaimed, shooting up from the bed and grabbing both women by their butt cheeks. "OOH!" Kara and Barbara blurted as Naruto continued to lift them over his shoulders and threw them onto the bed.

Washington DC, Night.

"Anything?" Naruto heard Batman's voice as he stood on top of the Capitol Building before shaking his head. "Nope." He heard the others reply the same before seeing Hawkgirl fly close to where he was. Naruto jumped up quickly and gave her a quick kiss. "Hey beautiful. Why are you here? This isn't your area for the night."

"I heard there was trouble here." Hawkgirl replied landing by him. "Trouble? There's no tr-HMPH!" Naruto was cut off as she kissed him before quickly pulling back. "Yeah there is. I'm looking at him." He smiled at her before she spoke again. "Hey, let's get takeout from that Chinese restaurant back in Smallville."

"Okay, but no skipping out on the check!" He replied as she turned to fly away.

Smack!

She turned around and flew backwards as she grinned at him. "Save it for later..." She trailed off seeing a large alien ship fly to the Washington Monument. (Look at Gordanian ship Justice League DCAU for a better picture.) "No." Hawkgirl said flying to it as the others tried attacking it. Naruto scanned it with his glasses, but couldn't get anything.

"What the hell?" He asked not seeing anything inside before hearing Kurama. "Maybe it's cloaked?" Naruto jumped across the rooftops before another ship shot it down. Naruto looked up, and saw a ship that's ten times the size of the last one surrounded by a fleet of smaller ones. "Well shit." He cursed as Supergirl landed beside him.

"Wait!" Hawkgirl yelled as a small ship landed, and a male Thanagarian walked out. He's wearing gold green trimmed armor with the top being an 'X', and shirtless. More walked behind him as Hawkgirl smiled before she flew up to the male. "Hello Commander." Naruto walked up in front of the others before speaking. "What's going on here?"

"Oh sorry this is Hro Tal-" Hawkgirl was interrupted by the now identified Hro. "No time for that now. I need to speak with your Leaders."

Later, U.N.

Naruto stood with the others, and noticed a bored Anko in a black business dress, shirt, and domino mask staring as Hro, Hawkgirl, and a few Thanagarians stood on the stage. Hro looked at the Leaders before speaking. "Five years ago, we sent an agent to Earth to study your People, and test your defense. That Agent; Lieutenant Shayera Hol... Or as you've come to know her, Hawkgirl."

Anko glanced up to Naruto before looking back as Hro continued. "And she's found your defenses are lacking from our own enemies... The Gordanians." He brought up a hologram of the Thanagarian being at war with the Gordanians, a reptilian looking alien species for generations as the League talked to themselves.

"Kage." Naruto looked to see Supergirl looking at him worriedly. "I'm fine Supergirl. I understand that she was undercover. I've done a few of those too." Later, Hawkgirl flew up to Naruto as the others left them alone. "Look Shayera. I'm not mad that you 'lied' to me about your mission." Naruto said as she sighed.

"There were so many times I've wanted to tell you..." She trailed off as Hro flew to her along with another Thanagarian with a black goatee. "Hro." Hawkgirl greeted as Hro smiled before he placed his hands on her shoulders. "Darling." He kissed her making Naruto clench his hands. "Apologies. Hro Talak." Hro greeted Naruto as he lifted his hand for a shake.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto shook his hand before looking to Hawkgirl. "The Ninja? Shayera's told me a lot about you." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. "Really? You two know-" He stopped as she walked over. "Hro and I are promised to each other... Like engaged here." Naruto looked at her for a moment before turning around. "Congratulations... I'm sure you two want to catch up."

Naruto walked down the hall and saw Supergirl, and Anko in her new costume waiting for him. She has a biker themed costume with black boots, blue jeans, fingerless gloves, and her mesh shirt under a purple leather jacket. Supergirl blinked before looking back. "Shayera's not-" Supergirl was interrupted by Naruto. "She's catching up with her fiancé."

Supergirl and Anko looked on wide-eyed at that. "What?! She's engaged?! Why didn't she tell us?!" Supergirl asked as Naruto stayed silent, not noticing Supergirl glaring down the hall as he left them. Later, Naruto is watching Superman and Wonder Woman talking to several World Leaders and Generals about accepting the Thanagarians help, but was split on trusting them.

Naruto sighed before speaking. "Why not 'accept' their help, but keep ready for an attack if they're not telling the truth. Sure, Hawkgirl may be alright, but she hasn't seen them for five years." He walked up to them and continued. "Offer peace with one hand, but arm the other." Naruto finished before walking out, and saw Anko waiting for him.

She opened her mouth, but jumped as Batman spoke up. "World's most mysterious creatures." Batman walked up to them as Anko pointed at him. "How the hell did you sneak up on me?!" She asked before Naruto spoke up. "You get used to it." Naruto crossed his arms before J'onn, and Flash came over. Anko was about to speak to Naruto, but he raised a hand. "Look... I'm just mad that she's engaged, and didn't tell me. I'll get over it."

Gobi Desert, A Few Weeks Later.

Naruto watched as the League minus Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Batman worked on a large circular generator. (For a better picture look at Starcrossed.) He watched as Green Lantern take a camp of people, and moved them out of the way. "Naruto." Naruto looked back to Shayera in black armor, and a helmet that looks vaguely similar like the one her Lord's counterpart wore.

"Shayera." Naruto greeted, looking back at the construction. "Look Naru-" She stopped as Naruto interrupted her. "There's nothing to talk about Shayera." She looked down before continuing. "I just wanted to explain about Hro." Naruto looked back at her before speaking up. "About what? That you strung me along?"

"No, that's no-" She stopped as Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke having her sigh before flying to the generator.

Watchtower; Batman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman.

"What are you trying to prove here?" Wonder Woman asked as Batman operated on a dead Gordanian. "Think about it. A single ship attacks a major City... Then the Thanagar Armada coincidentally shows up for it. I don't believe in coincidences." Batman finished taking a piece of the Gordanian's liver to a microscope.

"What do you know about Gordanian biology?" Supergirl asked walking over as Batman looked at the microscope. "Nothing... But I know a frozen liver when I see one." The girls' eyes widened at that before looking to the dead Gordanian. "I think we've been set up." Batman walked to the door, and looked back to them. "I'm going to find answers."

Later, Wonder Woman and Supergirl waited for Batman over the intercom before suddenly, they heard shooting over it. "Diana, Kara, I was right! The Thanagarians planted that Ship! They-AAHH!" Batman screamed over the intercom before Wonder Woman cursed. "Damn it!" She reached for her earpiece before contacting Superman.

"Superman the Thanagarians are lying, they captured Batman on the-" She stopped as the Watchtower shook, and saw several Thanagarian ships outside attacking. "Great Hera! They're attacking the Watchtower..." She trailed off as she saw the ships fly in through the hanger.

"They're in the hangar, they must have gotten our codes!" She and Supergirl flew to the hanger, and started fighting the Thanagarians. Wonder Woman grabbed one, and knocked him out as she grabbed his axe weapon, and fought off several more as Supergirl plowed through the ones near her.

Suddenly, they were hit with an electric beam, Supergirl's being green as a Hawkwoman walked up to them before putting a hand to her helmet. "We've taken the Tower."

The League, Gobi Desert.

"Guys, we need to get back to the Tower! Wonder Woman and Supergirl are in trouble!" Superman yelled as the League ran to the Javelin.

BOOM!

Only to fly back as it exploded. "I'm afraid we can't allow that." A Hawkwoman in white gold-trimmed armor said as she aimed a energy bazooka at them. She shot at them several times before being attacked by Shayera. "What are you doing?!" She asked as an army of Thanagarians flew up holding guns, maces, and axes.

"We can't let your friends jeopardize the mission." Hro said as he flew in front of the Army, Naruto pulled out his bow and shot several non-lethal arrows up at the Thanagarians before turning on his earpiece. "Snake." After a second, Anko replied. "Yeah, what's the order?"

"Get Barb, and go to the Batcave to meet with Barbara, the Thanagarians are attacking. Batman should have some countermeasures for this." He heard shuffling before she spoke again. "How do you know he has anything?" Naruto shot another arrow, and it exploded in a bright light in front of a Hawkman as Naruto replied. "Because he's Batman."

He looked up, and saw several missiles flying up to the Mothership before they were hit by a beam of electricity, and fell down as the same happened with the Military tanks and men. Naruto shot more arrows hitting several Thanagarians before jumping to follow the League after J'onn, Flash, and Superman were injured before hitting a force field.

He got up, and started to punch the field before hearing Shayera behind him. He quickly turned around, picked an arrow out, put it in his bow, and pulled it as he stared at her. "Don't fight us. We're trying to help you." Naruto snorted as he turned on his laser sight. "The person who started the Fourth War said he wanted to 'help' us."

"So why should I trust you? I don't even know whose side you're on." Naruto finished as she looked on sadly. "You know whose." He lowered his bow, and was hit in the head by Shayera's mace. The last thing Naruto saw before blacking out was Hro walking over, and smiling as he wrapped an arm around Shayera.

Smallville; Naruto's House, A Few Minutes Earlier.

Anko, in her costume, watched as Cheetah took Jonathan and Martha down towards the basement to a panic room before walking to the built in garage. Pressing a button on the wall, a door opened up on the floor, and a dark purple Tomahawk came up with snakes on the gas tank. Anko got on as Cheetah ran in, and jumped on the passenger's seat.

"They'll be fine. Naruto gave that room a bathroom, a bed, T.V. and enough food and water for a few months." Anko nodded before seeing a seal on the right handlebar, and added chakra to it. As they drove out of the garage, they shimmered out of sight as a Genjutsu (Illusion Technique) hid them from being seen or heard.

As they drove down the road, they saw Thanagarians flying above Metropolis before hearing Hro over their earpieces. "This is Commander Hro Talak. In the name of Thanagarian Authority, we have claimed your Planet, and are enforcing Martial Law. This World faces a crisis which only we can protect it from."

"But to be fully effective, we must be free to act accordingly, without distractions. Cooperate and our stay will be brief, and without incident. But stand against us, and our wrath will be without mercy." Anko shifted into a higher gear as she sped through the traffic, and past a sign that read, 'GOTHAM 30 MILES'.

Thanagarian Prison Ship, An Hour Later.

Kragger walked with Shayera past the League who were being held in cells specialized for their weaknesses. Superman and Supergirl had red solar energy in theirs. Wonder Woman was tied to a metal post with her lasso. J'onn was in his real form with energy shackles. Flash has a gravity generator on him. Batman and Green Lantern were restrained with cuffs that covered their whole hands.

Naruto groaned as he tried to use his chakra but felt it was being drained. "It's like that seal that Orochimaru put on you during the Chunin Exams. You can use your chakra, but it's messed up." He heard Kurama speak up before noticing Shayera, and Kragger stop at his cell.

"It would have been difficult to attack their Tower if you didn't give us their access codes, and your analysis of their weakness. We still can't find Snake, Batgirl, or Cheetah though." Kragger said holding Naruto's folded bow. "Don't underestimate them, Kragger." Kragger nodded before picking up a pistol.

"You're right. Maybe you should make sure they're no longer a threat." He said handing Shayera the pistol. She took it, and looked at it for a moment before handing it back. "No, if we do that, the people will revolt. Make sure they're well taken care of." She said walking away as Kragger followed after a moment.

Neither noticed red chakra surrounding Naruto as his eyes changed color. A few minutes later, Naruto felt the ship move before a guard came in with a plate of food. "Oh thanks." Naruto said as the Hawkman turned around. Only to stop as Naruto grabbed him, and held a modern karambit to his throat. "Speak, and you won't live to see the sun set."

Naruto applied the sleeper hold on him before hearing Wonder Woman run out of her cell, and blocked lasers shot at her from other guards. "Diana! The force field!" Naruto yelled as he used his knife to cut the keypads on Flash's and Green Lantern's cell before running towards Superman's and Supergirl's cells, and got them out.

More guards came in before Naruto ran to them, and punched one who dropped his axe. Naruto grabbed it, and threw it to Supergirl who was still weakened from the red solar energy, and continued to fight the guards that flew towards them. Suddenly, a large hole from a laser blast was created sucking everything out through it.

Supergirl pulled Naruto up as Superman grabbed Batman and Flash, and Wonder Woman grabbed Green Lantern and J'onn before flying out.

Night Time, Metropolis.

The League ran in an alleyway before coming to a dead end as Thanagarians patrolled the streets. They saw a door to a clothing store, and Wonder Woman ripped the knob off before pushing the door open. Naruto saw Superman use his weakened heat vision to get Green Lantern out of his cuffs before walking over, and took them.

"Don't want to leave anything behind." Naruto pulled out a scroll, and sealed the cuffs away before following inside, and pulled a dumpster in front of the door before losing it just as two Hawkmen flew by. After talking about a plan, they decided on hiding in their secret identities. "Whoa wait, I trust you and all..." Flash trailed looking as Naruto removed his coat, and J'onn transformed into a man with brown hair, and a brown coat.

Batman walked up to him, and pointed at him. "Wally West, Clark and Kara Kent, Bruce Wayne." He said pulling off his mask having Flash do the same showing short red hair. Later, they all went in their civilian identities with Naruto wearing a hat, Diana in a blue shirt, and purple bell bottom pants, Wally's wearing a button shirt, and brown pants.

John's wearing a cap with a brown jacket, and pants picked up a large wrench, and hid it in the arm of his jacket. Bruce is wearing a leather jacket, black shirt, and pants. Naruto picked up the tags, and hangers before throwing the tags in the trash, and put the hangers behind a desk. "We should split up, and meet somewhere since they're looking for a group."

Naruto said as Bruce nodded. "We're thirty miles from Gotham, we can meet up at my house." They split up into four groups consisting of Diana with Kara, Naruto with Bruce, Wally with John, and Clark and J'onn as each of them walked off.

Shayera and Hro, Thanagarian Mothership.

Shayera was working on a console as Hro talked to a Hawk woman over the monitor about forcing Humans to work for them. "Slaves?" Hro nodded before sighing. "We're on an unforgiving schedule... We need to finish the Hyperspace Bypass in time-" He stopped as Shayera walked to him. "I thought we were building a shield."

"That was the cover story." She narrowed her eyes before speaking. "When were you going to tell me? Or did you think I was untrustworthy?" Hro sighed before taking her to another room, and explained Earth is the last spot for a bypass that would allow them to bypass the Gordanian's defense, and attack their home world.

"And Earth would be destroyed." Shayera said as Hro nodded. "Yes, unfortunately... For Thanagar to survive, Earth must perish." Shayera walked off, and looked down at Earth from a viewing platform. "Something wrong?" She looked back to see Hro walk up to her before looking back. "Nothing." She replied as he stopped beside her.

"I've never seen anyone stare at nothing so intensely before." Hro said before putting his hand on her shoulder. "I know this must be difficult for you." She glanced to him before speaking. "Do you?" Hro nodded before continuing. "What is obligation may feel like betrayal. But our only true obligation is to Thanagar."

"There must be another way." Shayera said turning to him. "Can't you... Reroute the Bypass to an uninhabited planet, or moon?" He shook his head before answering. "Any alteration would set us back more than five years. And every moment we delay is more blood shed by our people."

"That doesn't give us the right! There are billions of lives down there!" She yelled before he narrowed his eyes. "Have you forgotten our suffering? The horror the Gordanians are capable of? How I was in their prison for years?" Hro asked taking off his helmet showing a scar going from his right forehead down to his chin. "Because I haven't!"

"I have forgotten nothing! But this War is no excu-" She stopped as Hro grabbed her. "I am your Commander! You will not question me!" She just stared at him for a moment. "I don't even know you anymore." Suddenly, Kragger walked in, and Hro put his helmet back on. "What is it?"

"We lost the Justice League. We think they're hiding among the people." He walked over, and looked to Shayera. "Unless you know where to find them." Shayera grabbed him by his neck, and slammed him against the wall. "Watch your tongue, or you'll lose it." She let him go, and walked away.

Gotham; A Few Hours Later, Wayne Manor. (A/N: Since Naruto got rid of anything that would say they're in disguises, the Thanagarians won't actively look at civilians for them.)

John and Wally walked to the door, and pushed the doorbell. A moment later, Alfred opened the door. "Uhh, we're looking for Bruce Wayne... He's expecting us." Wally said as Alfred nodded. "Yes, Master Bruce is expecting you." He took them to a grandfather clock, and pulled the pendulum revealing a hidden staircase.

They walked down and saw the others along with Anko, Cheetah, and Batgirl. Off to the side is Batwoman, Teresa (a.k.a Talon), and Darcy with long brown hair tinted glasses, and wearing low rider jeans, and a purple shirt. "You're late." Bruce said as he sat in his chair as Wally looked as Batman's souvenirs. "Hey, that's a T. Rex."

"And I thought Batman was the detective." Alfred said before leaving them to talk about the plan of attack. "We don't even know if they're building a shield." Diana said before hearing a female voice speak. "I can help with that." They looked to see Shayera walking out of the shadows. "You have a lot of nerve coming here." Clark said taking off his glasses.

"But you did save us the trouble of hunting you down." Diana said walking over with the others minus Naruto and Bruce. "I didn't come here to fight... I came here to help." Wally snorted as he crossed his arms. "Thanagarians take control of Earth? Martial Law? I don't think we can take much more of your help."

"Look, they're building a Bypass that when activated, will destroy Earth, and everything on it. Here are the plans." Shayera said handing Bruce a box. "Got it, there's the door." He said as everyone walked away from her. "Aren't you going to turn your back on me too?" She asked turning around to see Naruto standing behind her.

"Last time I did I got hit with a mace." She sighed before speaking. "It wasn't personal." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. "Keep telling yourself that." She walked up to him, and reached behind her, pulling out his quiver, and bow before handing him it, and Green Lantern's ring. "I did what I thought was right then... And that's what I'm doing now."

She finished before flying away throw the tunnel.

Thanagarian Mothership, Later.

Hro looked at the monitor before turning around as several guards brought Shayera in without her helmet. They roughly threw her in front of him as he walked to her. "What's the meaning of this?!" Kragger walked up with a video disk, and put it in a player. "She's being tried with high treason, espionage, and conspiring with the enemy."

A hologram of her talking with the League, and Naruto came up. "I did what I thought was right then... And that's what I'm doing now." Hro glared at Kragger before speaking. "Where did you get this?" Kragger walked to Shayera, and reached for her chest plate. She glared as he pulled her hawk chest plate off, and showed a chip.

"From the camera I planted on her." Hro looked to Shayera before speaking. "Shayera, tell me this isn't true." She looked down sadly before speaking. "Hro..." He glared at her before speaking. "Get her out of my sight." As the guards took Shayera away, Kragger looked to Hro. "I hated to be the one to-"

Hro punched Kragger before speaking. "Send a Strike Team after the League. And this time... No prisoners."

Batcave.

Naruto in his stealth costume watched as Kragger, and his team fly through the staircase before dropping several flash bang arrows. The League and Naruto's team attacked the Team. "Sen'eijashu. (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.)" Snakes shot out of Anko's sleeve and bit several Thanagarians as Naruto shot several sleeping gas arrows.

Teresa let out a shriek as Flash, and Supergirl punched the Thanagarians that were disoriented from it. After the others took care of the other Thanagarians, they walked out, and saw Alfred sweeping up broken glass made from the Thanagarians breaking in. "Mind the glass, sir." Alfred said as Batman looked to Naruto.

"I want you, your Team, Superman, Supergirl, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman to go to the command ship to shut down the force field." Naruto nodded as J'onn spoke up. "What about the rest of us. "We, along with Hebi and Cheetah will retake the Watchtower." Flash sped to him, and spoke up. "It's filled with Thanagarian soldiers. How do we get in?"

"With that." Batman said pointing to the Hawk-shaped ship, and walked in with J'onn, Flash, Anko, and Cheetah walking in also. J'onn sat at the controls, and shook his head. "I have no idea how to fly this." Flash saw a large button, and pressed it. "What's this do?" A laser shot out the front, and hit the Mansion.

Anko laughed as Batman gritted his teeth. "That's not helping." J'onn then suggested taking the ship's information from the downed Kragger. While everyone else was preparing to set out, Batgirl and Darcy turned to Naruto. "Not that I'm complaining, global warfare's not my preferred type of heroism, but what are we supposed to do in the meantime?" Darcy asked.

"You two will remain here, and provide tech support should, or when the fight hits ground level." he answered, to which they both nodded. "Finally get to play out in the field again, right partner?" Naruto turned to Batwoman and smiled. "Yeah, I know we haven't been able to put a lot of team-ups under our belts lately, but I'm proud of how you've grown as a hero, Sonia."

He raised a hand to her, which she took, and shook with pride. "Well, I had a chance given to me by a wise man, once. Figured he saw something that I wasn't able to see at the time." she said, with Naruto giving her a grin. "Really? I imagine this wise man was devilishly handsome as well?" he said, resulting in Batwoman deadpanning. "Did I say, 'wise man'? I meant, 'wise guy'."

Thanagarian Mothership.

Hro opened the spiked door, and looked at Shayera who's in a force field, and walked in. She stood up as he stopped by the field. "Why Shayera? Why would you do this?" She stared at him for a moment before speaking. "I'm trying to save lives." Hro nodded before speaking. "So am I, tens of billions of Thanagarian lives."

"So we trade the humans lives for our own?!" She asked as he narrowed his eyes. "War makes for hard choices Lieutenant... It's them, or us." She crossed her arms before speaking. "The man I fell in love with would have found another way." He glared at her before speaking. "Me, or Kage?" She looked down before closing her eyes.

"I didn't want to believe it Shayera... I'm willing to forgive everything." Hro touched the field having it glow red at his hand making Shayera take a step back. "Just tell me what I want to hear... It was a meaningless flirtation. You were lonely. Tell me I'm the one you love, not him!"

"If you want me I'm yours... All you have to do is spare the Earth." She replied making Hro punch the field. "Maybe you'll forget him once the Earth is no more." He left having her sit down, and rest her arms on her legs.

Outside.

Naruto in his Kyūbi Chakura Mōdo (Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode) along with a clone that Kurama took over flew with the others as Wonder Woman was carrying Batwoman, and Supergirl flew alongside Talon towards the ship, and attacked everyone that they came across. Green Lantern created a hole for Naruto, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Batwoman to enter the Ship as the others attacked the Army outside.

Naruto dispersed his cloak as he ran down the hall with Supergirl, and attacked the guards as Wonder Woman, and Batwoman ran down another hall. Supergirl opened a door, and saw the switch to turn off the shield protecting the Bypass. "Go on... I got this." Naruto said as Supergirl nodded, and left. Not noticing Naruto grab his bow.

At the same time, Wonder Woman knocked a group of guards down as she grabbed a broad sword before stopping at Shayera's cell. Wonder Woman glared at her for a moment. "I should leave you to burn." She sliced the keypad before walking away. "But it's not what Naruto would want." Shayera walked out, and picked up a mace before walking down the hall.

Watchtower, Earlier.

J'onn had transformed into Kragger and landed the ship inside of the Watchtower, and walked towards two guards. "We weren't expecting you, Sir." J'onn then transforms into an alien with rock skin and attacks as Anko, Cheetah, Batman, and Flash ran out to attack the other guards. After beating them, Anko walked over to Batman who was watching a monitor.

"So where's your secret weapon?" Flash asked as he stopped by them. "You're standing on it. I'm going to use the Tower to hit the Bypass." He programed the Tower before helping the others with getting the Thanagarians in the escape pods. As they got to the last one, everyone dropped a guard before Batman stepped out, and locked them in.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Anko asked as the pod started unclasping from the Tower. "Someone has to guide the Tower down, or we risk missing the Bypass... It's been an honor, everyone." Batman said before another door closed in front of the pod before they started to fly back to the Earth.

Batman ran back to the controls, and shut the windows as he strapped himself in and drove the ship.

Thanagarian Mothership.

Naruto looked up as Hro floated down before sighing, and dropped his bow and quiver. "The force field controls are here. That's what you want right?" Naruto got in a stance and stared at Hro. "It'll be a pleasure beating you." Hro shook his head before speaking. "No, this won't be like the last time you took something that belonged to me."

"I didn't take anything that belongs to you... Because she's not an object." Naruto dashed forward, and punched Hro in the face before dodging a swipe from his axe that cut his shirt. Hro punched Naruto into a control panel, and shocked him. Hro walked over, and picked Naruto up by his neck. "I've beaten you, little man. Any last words?"

"Kiss my ass." Naruto kicked him forcing Hro to let him go before going through handsigns, and shot wind bullets at him. "Fūton: Kūki Dangan (Wind Release: Air Bullet.)" Hro stepped back before Naruto jumped at him, feint a kick, and punched him. "Kobura Panchi (Cobra Punch.)" Hro was sent flying into a console before Naruto looked at the force field surround the large button.

He created a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) and brought it forward. Just before he touched it, he saw Hro bring his axe down.

Slink!

"AAHH!" Naruto screamed as Hro cut his right arm off from below the elbow down. Hro grabbed him, and slammed the left side of his head against the force field. "Aahh!" Naruto screamed as he was shocked before Hro pulled him away, showing the left side of his head was slightly singed along with his hair. Hro dropped Naruto, and lifted his axe. "Hro no!"

He turned to see Shayera running in. "It's over! You're a Soldier, not a murderer!" Hro glared at her before slapping her away. "I was a fool for ever loving you." He attacked her as she brought her mace, and traded blows as they flew around the room. Naruto woke up just as Hro shocked Shayera with his axe. "There is no 'us' anymore, Shayera."

He threw her down at Naruto as he landed in between them. "There's only a traitor, and a soldier who has a job to do." Naruto stood up, and went into his Kyūbi Chakura Mōdo (Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode) as Hro looked back in shock. Naruto created an astral arm to replace his right one before punching Hro in to the controls again.

"I only went easy on you because Shayera was engaged to you, and I didn't want to break her heart. But now... All bets are off." Naruto quickly grabbed Hro, threw him at the force field, and destroyed it as Hro was shocked before being thrown back. Naruto dispersed his cloak, and looked to see his wound was healed before walking to the button.

He tried to push it down, but couldn't. He saw Shayera's gloved hand grab his, and used both of hers to push it down with him. Naruto fell down, and looked at his severed arm before pulling out a scroll. "Damn it." He cursed as he tried to open it, only for Shayera to pull it open for him, and he sealed his arm. "Did you mean that?"

Naruto looked to Shayera as she continued. "What you said about not wanting to break my heart?" Naruto nodded as they watch the Watchtower hit the Bypass on a monitor. "Yes... Even after all the shit that happened... I would never hurt you, Shayera." He said before guards came in as Supergirl and Wonder Woman ran in after them.

"Kage! What happened?!" Supergirl asked running over as Naruto held his right shoulder. "Hro pulled a surprise attack as I was trying to take down the force field around the switch." Naruto said as more guards came in. "Enough. Stand down, it's over." A singed Hro said walking to Naruto, and Shayera. "It'll take years before we can finish building somewhere else." Shayera glared at him. "Better start building then."

Next Day, Wayne Manor.

Shayera watched Snapper's report in blue jeans, and beige t-shirt before Alfred, and Kurama in his fox form walked in. (A/N: No bold lines for Kurama since he's not with Naruto.) "They've been in there a long time." She said crossing her arms under her bust. "You know... Even though you'll be hated by everyone on Earth. I think you're still a hero." Kurama said sitting on the couch as Alfred readied a cup of tea.

"What do you mean? As you said, I'm hated now." Shayera said as Kurama nodded. "True... But if you did this to be liked. Then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. A true hero does it because it's the right thing to do. Not for fame." Alfred nodded before handing her, her tea. "And if I may add, I'm neither a superhero, nor a soldier."

"So I'm hardly qualified to judge your actions by those standards. But I do know this; without the great sacrifices you've made, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this pot of tea. Whatever they decide in that room, you'll always be a hero to me." Shayera smiled as she began drinking her tea. Alfred then began to turn away when he noticed Kurama staring at him.

"What?" he asked, and Kurama answered, "You're all right, Pennyworth."

Inside the Dining Room, With The League.

Naruto who's chest, and right shoulder are wrapped, and his hair is now shorter, and spikier. (Picture his hairstyle in the Last) sat as the others talked. "She exploited our weaknesses. Betrayed our trust." Wonder Woman said as they sat at a table. "Come on! She was in the ultimate lose-lose situation." Flash said from his spot. "But when push came to shove she chose us." He finished as J'onn spoke up.

"She's become a pariah to her people. We're all she has left." Superman nodded before speaking. "Believe me J'onn I feel for her. But I don't know if I can fully trust her again." Naruto looked down as they continued before Batman spoke up. "We're arguing in circles. It's time to put it to a vote."

"Not just yet," Flash angrily stated. "I've been patient and listening to everyone rant on what they wanted to say, while Naruto and I have tried to point out why we should let her stay. But since we've been in here for several hours, I just want to make sure everything is clear." He glared at most of the occupants in the room.

"She lied to us, she spied on us, and she betrayed us. That hurt us deeply, but none of it really matters. Because at the end of the day. She. Chose. Us. She chose the family she had made and not the planet she originally came from." Diana glared at him before speaking. "She was willing-"

"To save our lives?" Flash tiredly asked while interrupting Diana. "To put her life in danger and sacrifice her own happiness for the lives of others? That's what she did Diana. What would you have done if you were in her place? What if it was a choice between Themyscira and the US, and only one place could survive? What would be your choice?"

Flash stood up and leaned his hands on the table. "Honestly, I can't believe we have to debate this." He looked back up towards everyone else. "Most of you are all focused on if she's trustworthy. Do you realize how loyal she is to us? You're blinded by her supposed betrayal, but there are two reasons why she didn't betray us at all."

"For one, the whole spying thing was her job. She was a soldier following orders. John, Naruto," Flash looked to GL and Naruto, "both of you were in the Military. Mind answering me this? Did you ever question an order that was just observe and report?" Everyone averted their gaze towards John, who frowned and looked away, silently giving the answer that he didn't need to voice.

As for Naruto his answer was obvious for everyone else to understand. "With you John, you didn't at all. And while we know that she doesn't have any place to go to anymore, I've only heard from Naruto that Shayera was betrayed as well, and that's my second point. She believed she was doing the right thing."

"She thought she was protecting us all because that's what she was told. How do you think she felt when she found out the truth? That her own people were willing to sacrifice an entire planet?" Flash glared at the majority of them. "I can only imagine the self-disgust, shame, and dishonor she must have felt. What she must still be feeling!"

He paused for a brief moment. "Shayera didn't even hesitate to help us after that, and we wouldn't have won without her. She gave up her planet, her people, everything she knew to save a world where she would NOT ONLY never really fit in, but be ostracized and ridiculed for being a Thanagarian."

"And she did it because it was the right thing to do. If that doesn't perpetuate the ideals of the Justice League, then I don't know what does." Superman raised and furrowed his eyebrows at this in thought while the others were looking at Wally, for once really listening to what he really had to say. Except for Diana, who was pouting stubbornly and had her arms crossed.

"If you all would stop taking it personally and look at the big picture, you'd realize that Shayera did everything that she could have with the knowledge she had at the time." Flash sat back down. "You know how I feel, so before the rest of you decide, consider this. Shayera fought besides us. She protected us. She loved us. She shed blood, sweat, and tears with us."

"That's not a lie. That will always be there. She'll always be one of us, no matter what judgments you make." Later, Shayera walked in as the other stood in front of her. "Before you say anything..." Shayera started before anyone could talk. "I came to this Planet as a Patriot. I had a mission, and I carried it out."

"But I couldn't see how much I would come to care for Earth, her people, and each of you. I've spent the last five years torn between my feelings, and my duty. I won't ask you to do the same... That's why I'm resigning as a member of the League." She finished walking out after Flash hugged her. Naruto disappeared as the others were talking about the fate of the League.

Outside, Naruto saw Shayera look at the sunset, and ocean. "Where are you going now?" She sighed before answering. "I don't know... Somewhere where the fate of the World isn't on my shoulders. No more secrets, or lies." Naruto looked at the ocean before speaking. "Was everything a lie?"

"No, Naruto... I never lied about loving you." She replied walking to him, and kissed him. When she pulled back, Naruto pulled her in for another kiss before she flew away. "I love you too." Naruto said before hearing Anko behind him. "We should go back home... See if Tsunade can fix your arm. If not, she's been working on her grandfather's cells after Madara was able to help Obito survive losing the entire left side of his body."

Naruto walked to her, and kissed her before wrapping his arm around her waist, and walked back inside.

To Be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.

Beta: Jebest4781, and Chaos-PSD.

Ok I wanted to talk about Hinata not being with Naruto.. Now I'm not angry at the reviews/P.M.s so please don't take this as I'm angry. I'm not.

I understand the Negative ones since Hinata is with Naruto in canon but I put a pairing poll up before she was.. Right when Sasuke got Orochimaru from Anko, and the second poll I put up had keep Mei, and Anko with 154 while change one was 40, and the others were below that... Half the World hates both Hinata, and Sakura being paired with Naruto, while the other half loves the parings I'm just not going to please everyone.. When I started two years ago I knew I was going to get bad reviews on my stories.

But I've always told myself that even if my stories only get one good review, and 100 bad for each chapter I would still write for that one person.. I'm one of those people that doesn't care what people think, and doesn't judge other people. One person sent me a P.M. for my thoughts on a Naruto story they wanted to write, and they want it to be a...

Loli pairing and asked if I hated that.. I told them it's their story and do what they want, and don't change it if you're dead set on something.. Only reason I put up that poll was BEFORE the canon pairings, and for Fanfiction I don't have a favorite pairing. I even read stories where Naruto's paired with older women (Tsume/Tsunade.) If the author has it to where Naruto's immortal, and makes them immortal, has a way to make them younger, or makes it to where Naruto time traveled to where he's the same age as them.

I even read stories with parings that I'm not a fan of if I'm a fan of the author, or it's a really great story/they didn't put up the pairing until later in the story.. If it's a pairing that's other then Naruto, like Sasuke/Kiba/Shikamaru's paired with someone I don't like paired with them I'll read it if they're not the focus like every now, and then they'll put Naruto past them while they're on a date.

The only pairing I'm not fan of is Naruto, and Sakura. NOT because I hate her, but because when I came to this site in late '08 early '09 I came across a lot of stories where they are brother, and sister (Sakura's parents adopted Naruto) Or they see each other as Brother, and Sister, and it became hard to see them paired together. Now I'll still read her being with Naruto, if A. It's a harem, or B. The story's good, and/or I like the Author.

Again sorry if that sounded like I'm angry I'm not I just wanted to address everyone about that.

Nothing to say except thanks for the awesome year, and sorry it didn't go up in Feb. ALSO Naruto On Board will be next with a hopefully 10k Ch for the 2 yr. Anniversary I say hopfully as I'll need to stop before the fights, and I still needs moves for everyone.

Also I'm taking a little break. (2-3 chapter for each story) before coming to this one since I did at least two episodes for each chapter.

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
