It had been a week since the battle near the underground and Lena learning of Naruto's abilities. Due to this, along with Lena's hope of turning Naruto into what effectively would amount to be a superhero, both Naruto and Lena who were accompanied by Jiraiya were in the training room together.

Naruto stood in the center of the room which was covered in deep scratches while Jiraiya and Lena hid behind a hastily crafted wall of concrete and wood. Lena poked her head out from behind the barricade which was covered in a helmet. Jiraiya poked his head out as well and it was covered in welding mask.

"Alright Naruto, try and use that move from before!" Jiraiya called out from behind the barricade. Naruto had taken what Lena said from before about using different abilities with his Hard-Light by reading up on any information about it on the internet. Lena in her sporadic way, tried to come up with moves that Naruto could do. This was what Naruto was attempting once again.

"Okay, this is gonna be attempt number eleven." Naruto stated as he held his hand above his head. Jiraiya and Lena ducked behind the barricade. What he was trying to do was partially based on what Lena called anime. Above his head blue Hard-Light began to take shape. The ball was made of a thin layer of Hard-Light that had the same amount of density as extremely thin glass. Within this sphere a large amount of Hard-Light was being compressed into multiple spinning coils so as to pack a massive punch when it managed to hit a target.

Around the time when the ball and spinning coils were formed was when…a crack emitted from the ball which made Naruto wince. This was going to hurt. The crack spread out through the ball and the compressed energy within the ball blasted out and smashed Naruto into the floor.

"Ow." Naruto said before pushing himself off of the ground. Jiraiya and Lena stuck their heads out and looked at Naruto.

"You alright?" Lena asked. Naruto held his hand up in a signal of silence while his other hand rubbed his back. Naruto then stood up and some cracks came from his back.

"Much better." Naruto stated. Kurama was already healing all the damage that Naruto had taken. Still, pain emitted from his hand and he looked at the damage caused from his attack this time. Some of his fingers were bent in painful ways but they eventually snapped back into place. The healing of the nanobots within him didn't hide the blood that came from the damage of the attack as his hand was now completely red from all the previous attempts.

Naruto stuck his hand in the air again and Jiraiya and Lena hid once again. "Number twelve!" Naruto shouted. He believed that he could nail the attack down this time as he realized that all that was needed to keep the ball from breaking was a stronger substance to shield the energies. The spiraling energies began to grow within the ball which began to swirl around the sphere. The technique held for much longer than his previous attempt. The sphere was still holding together after it had been a minute which caused Naruto to grin.

"Grampa, roll out the mannequin!" Naruto shouted. Jiraiya shifted from behind the barricade and pushed out a mannequin that was attached to a cart which rolled towards Naruto. Naruto grinned before rushing at the mannequin and pushing his attack at the figure.

And nothing happened.

Naruto looked at the ball of swirling energy before hitting it on the mannequin again. Still nothing happened. Frustration grew within Naruto as he started to punch the mannequin repeatedly until a crack was heard. Naruto's eyes grew wide and then the ball exploded in his hand causing both he and the mannequin to be launched away from each other.

"Oh come on! I pretty much had it!" Naruto shouted.

'You know, you could just ask for my help.' Kurama stated.

"Then what should I do?" Naruto asked as he pushed himself off of the ground so that he was standing. He then walked over to the fallen mannequin and propped it back up into a standing position.

'It appears that the material that you are using for your sphere is too dense while the energy within it is too wild and uncontrollable. All you have been doing is forcing the energy within it to be as strong as possible without any sense of control to it. That's why you keep spontaneously exploding.' Kurama stated with a chuckle at the end. 'Gotta admit, it was still hilarious to watch.' Naruto grumbled at this before holding his hand above his head.

"Thirteen!" Naruto shouted. Jiraiya and Lena ducked behind their barricade. Naruto was slightly reluctant about following Kurama's advice but he obeyed his comrade and created a weaker version of the sphere that he was created. The next step was to add the swirling energy within. "Now how do I contain it?" Naruto asked.

'What you need to do now is compress the energy as much as you can. If you let any escape, then you are, in simplest terms, going to go boom.' Kurama stated. Naruto took a deep breath before adding in the energy which slowly started to bloom in the sphere. Naruto looked up at the sphere in his palm as the energy began to spin around while growing towards the edge of its barrier.

"Oh no, oh no!" Naruto whispered out.

'Calm down and relax. You control this, it doesn't control you. Now concentrate!' Kurama shouted. With his friend's helpful encouragement, Naruto began to use all of his mental concentration to compress all the energy within the ball. Some of it slipped out of his grasp but Naruto took hold over it and brought it back into the spiraling center which began to emit a strange blue glowing.

"Okay…why is that happening?" Naruto asked.

'Probably due to the high concentration of energy with the center of your attack. Now stop worrying about that little distraction and attack your target.' Kurama ordered. This made Naruto grin as he ran at the mannequin. 'Now hit your target and I'll take care of the rest.' Kurama stated. Naruto in response shoved the ball into the mannequin.

At first, he expected the attack to explode in his face. Instead the ball hit the mannequin's chest and both it along with the ball launched forward a few feet before exploding in a small sphere of blue light and energy before fading away to reveal the mannequin with only its head, forearms, and legs remaining. Lena and Jiraiya poked their heads up from behind the barricade. Naruto hid his bloody hand up his sleeve so that Lena wouldn't notice. He didn't want her to start worrying about him.

Lena grinned at this. "You did it!" Lena shouted before she flipped over the barricade and grabbed Naruto in a hug. "Now we won't have to worry about dying anymore!" Naruto looked at Lena in slight disappointment.

"Both of you thought that I would kill you?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya flipped his welding mask up and hopped over the barricade.

"Anyone would be afraid for their lives if they were constantly in danger of being involved in an explosion. We just made sure that we didn't die during your training." Jiraiya said while walking over to Naruto and Lena. He looked down at the mannequin and back at Naruto. "Well that is certainly powerful. So tell me, you were having a problem before, what changed?" Jiraiya asked.

"Kurama decided to help me. We got it figured out extremely easily after that." Naruto replied. Jiraiya just rolled his eyes at this. Kurama was such a cheap way of solving problems for the brat. Lena let go of Naruto and looked at Naruto and Jiraiya with a grin.

"So, my mum and dad wanted me to ask if you two would wish to come over for dinner." Lena said. Naruto and Jiraiya looked at one another. Both knew that they were not the best cooks in the world; their time in Scotland had taught them that, so being offered free food was no decision at all.

"Yes please." Naruto and Jiraiya replied at the same time.

"Great! Then you two better get cleaned up. I'll see you guys later." Lena said and then ran out of the room. Jiraiya grinned at Naruto.

"Well, at least we'll get free food. You better take a shower then." Naruto nodded and ran out of the room. He definitely would need to clean up his right hand after all of this. Thankfully Lena didn't notice it earlier. So he walked towards the bathroom and began to strip off his sweaty clothes. His shirt would definitely need to be cleaned off as there was a lot of blood on that sleeve.

"So Kurama, how are we doing on our power supply?" Naruto asked while entering the bathroom.

'Our supply is doing well. We are up by two percent. We keep going at this rate and we'll be able to do much more than what we can do now. Now leave me be, I need to study that move that you managed to create to see if there is anything we can do to upgrade it.' Kurama replied while Naruto started the shower.

"Alright bro, keep me posted." Naruto said as he stepped into the shower.

'Got it, Naruto.' Kurama said before becoming silent. Naruto looked down at the floor of the shower and watched as blood pooled up into the drain and then disappeared. He opened and closed his hand repeatedly to break up the blood that caked his right hand. Now it felt slightly sticky as the blood became wet.

After the blood was washed off, Naruto looked at his hand and saw that while all the blood had been cleaned off the skin of his hand, his nails on the other hand still had blood caked underneath them. That was going to be annoying to wash out.


Naruto eventually made it out of the shower and put on a pair of orange pants and a black shirt. He walked towards the main room of the safehouse where he noticed Jiraiya at his computer, typing while also giggling. "Hey grampa, what are you doing?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya stopped typing and turned to look at Naruto with a grin.

"I am making art!" Jiraiya stated. Naruto rolled his eyes and looked at the screen of the computer. He read what Jiraiya was typing with curiosity. Eventually it changed to confusion as he read on.

"Grampa, what does popping the cherry mean?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya's eyes widened before he began laughing. Naruto cocked his head at the old man in confusion. "What's so funny, grampa?" Jiraiya clapped his hand on Naruto's shoulder as he tried to control his laughter.

"I-it's something that you'll learn about one day." Jiraiya couldn't contain his laughter anymore and so he howled in laughter.

"Whatever. You ready to go, grampa?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya got out of his chair and nodded. His body was still being wracked with chuckling which was by now annoying Naruto.

"I'm ready. Let's go get some free food." Jiraiya said while taking his red jacket off the back of his chair. He put it on and then the two walked out of the safehouse and onto the street. Naruto was still trying to figure out what popping the cherry meant as they did so and this would probably remain stuck in his head for a while until it was answered. Who knows, maybe he could ask Lena's parents what it meant.

Either way, it was probably going to be a nice night to eat.


It definitely did not seem like a nice night to eat. Naruto thought as he looked up at the scowling face of Lena's father. Jiraiya stood next to Naruto while smiling awkwardly at both of Lena's parents.

"Hello Mr. Oxton!" Jiraiya said. Daniel looked at Jiraiya with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Namikaze and Naruto." Daniel said with a harsher tone. "Mr. Namikaze, you can just call me Daniel." Martha pushed Daniel out of the way with both a smile and a orange book in her hands.

"Oh my gosh, Mr. Namikaze, I love your books! Could you please sign my copy!" Martha said excitedly. Jiraiya grinned at this. He had an adoring fan and she looked quite stunning. Now he could see where Lena got her looks from…as well as her hair. Jeez, if Lena let her hair grow out, would it get even spikier? Jiraiya mused to himself.

Naruto looked past Daniel's legs and noticed Lena standing behind their legs in an orange dress. Now that Naruto noticed both of Lena's parents, they seemed quite well dressed compared to him and his grandfather. "Hey Lena!" Naruto said. Lena popped out from between her parent's legs with a smile.

"Come on Naruto, I want to show you my house!" Lena said excitedly as she grabbed Naruto's hand and dragged him past her parents, much to the relief of Naruto as he really wanted to get away from Lena's father. That man just hated him for no reason.

As Naruto was dragged through the house he noticed that it was quite high class. Clearly Lena's family must have made a lot of money. Eventually Naruto was dragged upstairs and into Lena's room. When he saw it he had only one thing to say.

"Planes." Naruto stated as he looked around the room. It contained more planes than Naruto thought possible. Lena turned around with a smile on her face.

"So, do you like it? I know I may have overdone it with the planes but I really like them." Lena said. Naruto nodded in agreement as he looked around the room. He gently picked up one of the planes and studied it. It was an older design with three sets of wings stacked atop each other.

"You said that you wanted to be a pilot, Lena. I can definitely believe it now." Naruto said as he put the plane back onto its stand. "So which one would be your favorite?" Lena grinned at this before walking to one of the shelves in her room and picking up what looked like a black spear head with wheels.

"This is the SR-71 Blackbird. It is the first of its kind due to being a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of Mach 3 and an altitude of 85,000 feet. I like it because it's really fast and it was built for stealth." Lena stated as if by heart.

"Well, at least you have a hobby. All I do is just shoot stuff or, well," Naruto held his hand up and it was covered in red Hard-Light before dispersing.

"That is still a lot cooler than me right now. All I can do is just dream about being a pilot and learn everything there is about planes. Dad said that he would let me learn how to fly when I turn fourteen." Lena replied while putting the Blackbird away. Naruto put his arm across Lena's shoulders.

"If you ever do learn how to fly, then you'll have to take me into the sky one day." Naruto said while giving Lena a comforting smile. Lena nodded in reply.

"Don't worry, love, you'll be the first I give a ride to." Just as Lena said this, both heard their names called from downstairs. The two kids looked at each other and ran out of the room together. At the stairs, the smell of food assaulted Naruto's nose which caused some drool to dribble out of the corner of his mouth. Both kids ran into the kitchen where they saw the table already set with food where Jiraiya and both older Oxtons sitting together.

Naruto and Lena took their places by the two empty chairs and sat down. "Did you two have a fun tour?" Jiraiya asked as he began to cut his food up.

"We had fun. Lena has a huge plane collection, y'know." Naruto replied. Martha giggled with Lena at his vocal tic. Martha then leaned over to her daughter and whispered into her ear.

"Does he say that a lot?" Martha asked.

"He does. I find it kind of…cute." Lena replied. Martha's blue eyes widened before she made this high pitched noise. "What is it, mum?" Lena asked at her mother's reaction.

"Nothing, love. Just so, so happy right now." Martha replied. Lena shrugged off her mother's oddness and continued eating. Martha turned her attention to Naruto and Jiraiya as she put a piece of ham into her mouth. "So Jiraiya, what have you and Naruto been doing? It seems like you two yanks are a long way from home. Or well, at least Naruto is a long way from home. Why did you leave Japan anyway?"

"I left Japan for personal reasons. Naruto and I on the other hand had to leave the states after Naruto's father died. We just needed to get away and both of us have decided to go on a journey around the world. Our first stop was Scotland." Jiraiya replied. The Oxtons were slightly saddened at this knowledge. Jiraiya noticed this and thought to change the subject. "I also have finally finished my next novel today. I'm sending it to the publisher tomorrow." This lifted Martha's spirits considerably.

"Really?! That is amazing! Tell me, will Hitome finally kiss Johann?" Jiraiya had a smug look on his face before he answered. Naruto had never seen his grandfather act like this before. He would definitely take note of it for later.

"So Lena, how has Naruto been treating you?" Daniel asked with a glare to the boy in question. It was like he was being interrogated by this man.

"Naruto is awesome. We have had a fun time together!" Lena replied. "So, why do you ask dad?" Daniel's facial expression did a total flip as he looked at Lena.

"Oh, no reason. I was just wondering, princess." Daniel responded while eating food. All the while that he did this, he took small chances to glare at Naruto.

"Uhh, Mr. Oxton," Naruto started, Daniel looked at Naruto. "I heard from Lena that you build planes and other stuff." Daniel's expression became less of an open glare and instead one that was calm dare he even say it, slightly excited.

"Yes, Naruto. I build planes that are used both militarily and commercially. At the lab, we are working on a new type of engine that hasn't even been finished yet. It will probably be a few years before the design is completed." Daniel responded.

"What type of engine?" Naruto asked. He looked down at his plate to see the succulent ham nearly touching a mass of mashed potatoes while a grouping of green beans completed the dish. Naruto stabbed his fork in the ham and cut it up with his knife. At least Mr. Oxton wasn't being as hostile as he was before.

"That is a secret right now. All I can tell you is that it's known as the SS project and will be able to outpace any jet in the field." Daniel finished with immense pride. His eyes looked at the ceiling as he did so. Apparently this is where Lena got her love from jets from.

"That sounds nice. Any idea as to what it's going to be used for?" Jiraiya asked.

"It will be used by the military, or more specifically, Overwatch." Jiraiya was quite surprised at this turn of events. When did Overwatch commission for a new high tech jet? He would need to speak to Jack about this.

"That is quite interesting. I guess that Overwatch will have much higher air superiority once the project you are designing is done." Jiraiya said as he finished eating and set his silverware down onto the plate.

"How long have you been in Overwatch, Jiraiya? I didn't hear any news of you during the Omnic Crisis." Daniel said.

"I joined at the end of the war after Minato managed to convince me to help." Jiraiya said.

"What were you doing during the Omnic crisis then?" Jiraiya grinned at this.

"I was writing my award winning book series!" Jiraiya replied with pride in his voice. This gained the interest from Martha.

"What made you want to write the book series…Jiraiya?" Martha asked with a tone of complete reverence. It was looked like she was waiting her whole life to hear the answer to this question and Jiraiya was certainly happy to answer.

"The idea came to me one day during one of my more personal…outings. Due to this outing I began to write from what was inspiring me at the moment and it came to a head with my great series." Jiraiya said.

"Your series is absolutely amazing, sir." Martha leaned over the table and whispered, "Dan and I have done a lot of the things in your novels which I must say were absolutely divine."

"Then I am glad that I managed to enlighten someone. You simply must tell me of your experiences later." Jiraiya remarked. Martha blushed at this before nodding.

Naruto leaned over to Lena during this. "Adults are really weird." Naruto stated. Lena nodded at this.

"I hope that we don't become weird like that." Lena replied.

"Yeah, y'know."


The doctor stood over a writhing man strapped to a table. In one hand was a syringe filled with a blue liquid while in the other a tablet displaying the man's heart rate and body temperature. Above both of them was a fluorescent light that emitted a sterile white glow around the lab.

"Subject name: Rex Trask. Nationality: Mexican. Subject was picked up off the street after managing to evade our task force for over ten minutes before finally being caught. After interrogation which was swiftly followed by the mental reprogramming, he revealed that he was apart of a drug running operation. What we shall be doing today is injecting subject with B-132-D, also known as Project Cold Shot." The doctor slowly slid the needle into the man's vein.

"Did you know Rex, the average human body temperature is a warm 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What we will be doing to you today is lowering that by, well, quite a lot. Now, please let me know if this bothers you in anyway." The doctor began to chuckle. "What am I saying, I wouldn't stop this even if you asked nicely." The plunger of the syringe went down and the blue liquid from within went straight into Rex's veins. The syringe was pulled out and the doctor waited.

"It may get a little cold for you quite soon. Please…stay chill." The doctor looked at his tablet which showed the rapidly beating heart rate from before slowing down. The temperature began to go down quite rapidly. Rex's skin began to take a blue hint as this occurred. Finally the temperature stopped at 58.2 degrees which pleased the doctor. After four attempts the formula was finally working.

Suddenly the body temperature began lowering once again. "Damn." The doctor sighed to himself. Eventually Rex's breath began to bellow out into a cool mist until it too stopped emitting itself from Rex's mouth. "Addendum: Subject is a failure like others. Ending temperature was 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Project needs to be adjusted. Need another subject." The doctor tapped on his tablet which ended the recording feature of the device.

"I really hate days like these, wouldn't you agree, Mikoto?" The doctor asked. A woman walked out of the shadows of his lab dressed in a black suit that had the appearance of some type of spandex.

"Sir, what is it that you wish of me?" Mikoto asked monotonously. At least the programming was holding up even with the death of her second son.

"I need you to bring Fugaku down here for experimentation. Oh and after that, the higher ups need you to perform a seduction mission. I would recommend the small black dress for it." The doctor stated. Mikoto saluted before sauntering off. "Oh, one more thing," Mikoto stopped at the doorway. "Put more sway into those hips. You look much more…bouncy when you do so." Mikoto nodded and walked in a much more seductive fashion.

If the doctor had kept watching the woman as she walked away, he might have noticed her fist clench ever so slightly.

"I really need to get more of the female personnel to dress like that. It would certainly brighten this place up." The doctor mused as he tossed the syringe into a trash can in the room. The doctor found himself growing quite bored with the recent experiments. Each one was becoming a failure much to his disappointment.

None met to his satisfaction but he kept trying. The organization was always going on about how he would learn so much more. Right now though, it was gaining him nothing. Sure, he enjoyed learning all about what his projects could do, but at what cost would it take to finally get something to work for once. His soldier project would one day come to fruition, he hoped.

Then he could show everyone that he was the greatest scientist in the world.

Well…at least that was what Talon believed. He had so much more planned than just a simple dream of vanity. No, he had greater imaginings than these people could even comprehend.

First though, he needed a hell of a lotta coffee. There was work to be done.


Naruto and Jiraiya were being walked out of the Oxton residence with full stomachs and happy minds. Naruto had managed to play with Lena for a while before he had to go while Jiraiya discussed with Martha his newest book while Daniel played along and nodded to whatever Martha suggested much to his embarrassment.

Strangely, Daniel was slightly kinder to Naruto by the time they were leaving which caused Naruto to be much happier and less scared than he was at the start of the dinner. Before Naruto exited the door, Lena rushed out and gave him a hug. "We'll do more awesome stuff tomorrow if that's fine with you." Lena said.

Naruto nodded at this. "I'll hold you to it, fly-girl." Lena acted as if offended.

"You mean, the Fabulous Lena, correct?" Naruto rolled his eyes at this.

"Yes, Fabulous Lena." Naruto replied.

"Good my steed, Red Man." Lena said smugly. Naruto sighed at this. He would never be able to live that name down, would he?" Jiraiya shook hands with both of the older Oxton's and both he and Naruto walked away from the house.

"The dinner was delicious, wouldn't you agree?" Jiraiya asked as the walked down the street together. Sadly, this was one place that Jiraiya had never bothered to buy a car for. He would definitely need to consider getting one for London. That is if they were going to stay here that long.

"I really liked it, grampa. Also, Lena and I are going to do more super power stuff tomorrow." Naruto said with a grin. He put his hands behind his head as he walked with Jiraiya.

"You also forgot something." Jiraiya stated. Naruto looked at his grampa with confusion. What was he talking about? He definitely didn't forget anything at all.

"That's crazy talk, grampa. I didn't forget anything. Maybe you are just thinking things that aren't there." Naruto replied confident with his answer. Jiraiya just chuckled to himself.

"Whatever." Jiraiya said while waving off Naruto's forgetfulness. Maybe the kid would figure it out eventually. After all, it really didn't matter to him even though it would have been hilarious to see the reaction of the Oxton's to this question.

The duo just walked down the streets together that were lit up by the streetlamps above them. It may have seemed eerie to some but to the two of them, they felt perfectly safe, what with one of them having years of military training and the other having the ability of high class regeneration along with being bullet proof.

"So did you find out anything new about your friend while you were there?" Jiraiya asked.

"She has a huge plane collection. Lena really wants to be a pilot one day." Naruto replied. Jiraiya thought that Lena's fascination with planes was not at all unfounded. Her father worked on building planes so obviously the girl took after him in that way.

"Sounds nice. Now when we get home, we are going to be working on target practice. I feel like you have been slacking off for a while on this." Jiraiya ordered.

"Okay, grampa." Naruto replied. Jiraiya chuckled and mussed up Naruto's hair. The kid was certainly excitable. Jiraiya hoped that the boy would keep that optimism when he grew up. The world was a tough place, especially now and a little bit of optimism could always change the world, even in the smallest of ways.


A bald man in a black suit walked down the hall of his office briskly. There was some sweat on his brow as he had just spent the past few years on this assignment and finally he finished it. A file was held in his arm as he walked to the elevator of this high rise.

The elevator dinged and the man walked inside. After all these years, they had finally figured it out. Because of this, he would probably be promoted. Soon Aadhan Aadarsh would be the manager of his technology sector.

Giddiness filled him as the elevator slowly approached the top floor where the boss waited for him, HIM. This was the first time that any of the higher ups had ever noticed him. The elevator finally hit the top floor and the doors opened. Aadhan felt sweat rush down his body.

About ten yards away, the boss sat signing some documents until he looked up. Aadhan felt like his body was becoming mush. The man in front of him could decide if he wished to easily fire him. "Mr. Aadarsh, welcome to my office." The man said. Dark hair was combed over to the left side of his head while his eyes had a pair of spectacle over them.

"H-h-how d-do you know m-my name, sir?" Aadhan asked.

"I know a lot about you Aadarsh. After all, you have information that is very important to both and the corporation. We are very pleased with your work as of recent. So tell me, how long have you been working for us?" The man asked.

"Twelve years, sir." Aadhan stated. Some of his nervousness left him from the calm demeanor of his boss.

"That is correct. You are nearly manager of your tech division I see. That is quite excellent. Now please, tell me what you have found?" The man asked. Aadhan quickly walked up to the boss and set his file upon the desk. The man took it and quickly read it. The ghost of a smile grew on his face as he read on.

"This is amazing. You have found what we've been searching for after all this time. You are going to be raised to manager of the tech division for this. After all, we will need your expertise for studying the subject." The man said. He set the file down to reveal two pictures. One was of Jiraiya Namikaze. The second picture was of Naruto Namikaze. "Where did you find this by the way?"

"Well that was the hard part, sir. The hard drive that was recovered all those years ago was unsalvageable. So I thought to check security footage. All footage in the lab of Minato Namikaze was destroyed so I check footage outside. I saw Jiraiya and Naruto Namikaze leave so I decided to track their last positions on every security camera in the world. After a couple years I finally landed a hit in London of all places. They might know where the A.I. is, sir.

"Excellent. Keep me posted on their positions. We won't strike just now, we'll attack when ready. It took this long to find the A.I. We won't lose it again even if we have to torture the information out of them. We will find the A.I., then nothing will challenge us." The man said.

"Yes sir. Would you care for anything else?" Aadhan asked.

"No. You may go." Aadhan nodded and walked away. Truly this was a glorious day for Aadhan. He would possibly found the A.I. and he assisted Vishkar in their task to help the world. When he entered the elevator and the doors closed, he jumped into the air in excitement. He left an impression upon his boss that was for sure.


One Week Later


Oblivious to all that was transgressions going around them, Naruto, Jiraiya, and Lena were training together. All of them were fighting one another as they had decided to train in fist fighting. This is where both Jiraiya and Naruto found out that that apparently Lena was extremely flexible.

"How can you do all of that?" Naruto asked as he stretched his body. Some pops emitted from his bones as both he and Lena had taken a thrashing from Jiraiya, well, more like he took a thrashing. Lena on the other hand had done completely fine against the older man. Possibly because if there were any bruises on Lena, then her parents would probably freak out, which would be quite justified.

"I did take gymnastics for couple years, love. I can easily do all of this and more." Lena said as she did the splits in order to demonstrate her point.

"Is that all that you can do?" Naruto asked.

"Nah, I can also do flips." Lena replied cheekily. Naruto chuckled at this. As the two children chatted, Jiraiya walked up to them and tossed both a cold bottle of water. Lena gratefully accepted it since she was quite tired from the strenuous workout while Naruto was still doing quite fine. Apparently Naruto was a stamina monster.

"Now both of you, I think that we should train in shooting guns. Lena, could you please never mention this to your parents?" Jiraiya pleaded to the young girl. Lena nodded in response. She knew how protective her parents could get over her. "Good girl. Would both of you please come to the shooting range with me." Jiraiya asked. Both kids got up from the ground and followed after Jiraiya into a room with two targets at the end.

Naruto took out his revolver while Jiraiya handed Lena a small pistol, both were handed earmuffs in order to protect their ears which both kids put on. Naruto took position and began to fire while Lena was being instructed on how to shoot by the older man.

"Do you think that you can try and fire your gun?" Jiraiya asked. Lena nodded as she felt confidence brim inside her. Lena took three shots and all three landed near the center of the target. Naruto let his gun fall to his side as he gawked at Lena's shooting ability.

"Lucky shot." Naruto declared. Lena grinned.

"Nope, I'm just a quick learn, love." Lena replied.

"Oh you are on." Naruto stated. Lena accepted this declaration of a challenge and both took position and fired at the targets. This rivalry made Jiraiya quite happy. He remembered when he used to have a rivalry with one of his old friends. Too bad that ended terribly.

After both had finally run out of bullets, they began to inspect their targets. "I totally got more in the center!" Naruto stated.

"No, I did! See, these are obviously closer to the center than yours!" Lena replied in stride.

"Too bad, so sad. I won!"

"No I did!" Lena then walked up to Naruto and pointed her finger at him. "I declare a challenge settled by…"

"Galaga!" Both Naruto and Lena shouted together. They had recently found the old arcade system inside the safehouse and both had taken a liking to it by using to settle arguments. Then they ran off together to settle their argument as Jiraiya watched on laughing.

As it so happens, Jiraiya's cellphone that he recently had acquired began to ring. Jiraiya pulled it out of his pocket and checked to see who was calling. It was Jack. That certainly was a surprise. Jiraiya pulled the phone out and put it to his ear.

"Jack, this certainly is a surprise." Jiraiya said. He then remained silent as he received orders from the man. "Yeah, alright." Jiraiya's happy expression slowly faded. "Oh, really. Three weeks? France? Oh…I'll get ready. Naruto will as well. Goodbye Jack." Jiraiya closed the phone.

Well, Naruto was certainly going to be disappointed about this.


And that is a wrap folks. Now I hoped you enjoyed and I'll be seeing you soon. Well in relative time. For those of you who are stuck in an elongated time loop where one second in an hour, I feel sorry for you. Still, see you guys and girls later next chapter. I wonder how fast I can type up the next chapter? Also I hope a bunch of you picked up the references that I've been dropping.

Stay frosty my friends.

OH! And one more thing. I am trying to go for the record of longest Overwatch crossover and it is working. Be seeing you.

Heroes never die…
