Watch Tower
Naruto was at the watch tower standing in front of Superman and Wonder Women. Batman and Green Lantern were standing to the side. Naruto is wearing an orange Gi with black arm bands; his collar is exposed by the Gi. Both Wonder Women and Superman are wearing their tights they normally wear.
"The match shall be Wonder Women and Superman vs. Sennin. Anything goes the ones to get knocked out or give up lose." stated Batman. Naruto bows to his opponents and gets into a stance. Naruto right leg is extended in to the front while right arm is in back and his left leg is the back a little while his left arm is in the front with the hand in a 30 degree angle to his chest.
Wonder Women eyes widen at the stance "how does he know that stance?" thought the Amazon.
Superman was oblivious to different fighting styles. He relied too much on brute strength. While Diana was limited to two fighting style from her birth land and has heard of another style the one Naruto is in; as well as eleven other fighting style from mythology.
Naruto smirks at Wonder Women expression "I see you recognized this style. It's in known as Speed Fist of the Messenger. You might have heard of it as a form used by your deity on Themyscira.
Superman gets into a brawlers stance while Diana gets into a unique stance. Her stance is both hands are in front as if she is blocking. Her bracelets that she is wearing are parallel to her chest.
Naruto raised an eyebrow "I see that is their strategy. Superman is in an offense stance; let's see 1, 2, 3, and 4 opening on his chest. 3 opening on his left and right side a piece and no defense on his legs; pitiful. He relies too much on his power. If he were to fight someone stronger with more knowledge of martial arts he would lose. Too many openings too exploit." thought Naruto
Naruto stares at Wonder Women "her stance is better; I see no opening on her chest. Two on both her sides and no defense on her legs. Her style is of the Amazonian retaliation stance; it's similar to my style that I am using and the Uchiha interception style. All three use counter skills to exploit openings in the opponent's mistakes." Naruto smirks
Naruto charges towards Wonder Women but changes course to Superman at the last moment trying to take out the weakest link. Naruto punches straight but disappears and reappears on Superman's left side and lands a powerful kick making Superman wince in pain. Naruto then he turns his body further to the left and kicks him In the back as you hear him hitting bone enough to bruise it and injure Superman as he falls in pain by the second hit. Wonder Women charges at Naruto after seeing his strategy. She goes in for a punch but is blocked and then grabbed and then thrown into the air and is kneed in the side while falling. Naruto changing styles to Capoiera the Brazilian form of martial art. Naruto starts move like a break dancer. Wonder Women thinking Naruto's mocking her charges in and goes for a punch but Naruto goes lows and avoids it.
"What kind of stance is that?" asked Green Lantern.
Batman turns to him "It's a style used by slaves in Brazil as a form of dance to hide the fact that it was a martial arts form. It comes originally from African moves. I know a few moves but Naruto it looks like is at least a little below Mestre which considered a master level in Brazil. It's called Capoiera" Said the Dark Knight awed at Naruto's knowledge of fighting styles.
Wonder Women goes for an overhead strike but Naruto turns at the last minute to the right and kicks Wonder Women with his left leg to her side mid-section causing her to stumble. Naruto get back up from his low stance and changes styles once again to Shotokan. The right arm and hand perpendicular the side of his body and his left arm and hand horizontal to his chest ready to block. Naruto kicks Diana to the chin then kicks to the side sending her to the ground.
Batman raises an eyebrow and his impassive face shows admiration "One person using so many styles." He thought
John Stewart is looking a little scared at how Naruto has manhandled Superman in a two kick combo and is toying with Wonder Women
"What type of Style is this?" he asked Batman. Batman looks on "It's called Shotokan. It an offensive style as well as defense it's well balanced, all parts of the leg and arms are used in this style both for attack and blocking." Said Batman
Naruto smirks "you can't win Diana, I have one final style that I am going to use; this is one I invented it's known as Nagareru kawa. Translated as Flowing River. It is a counter using your opponent's movements against them." Said Naruto lowering his guard a little Diana seeing a slight opening charges in and tries to punch Naruto in the face, but Naruto catches it, then he pushes her to the side forcing her back facing him, he then chops her to the neck all in a flowed movement like the river; knocking her out.
Naruto calms himself and put his fist in his opened palm and bows to his fallen opponents. "Nice one Naruto" said John as Naruto walks up to Superman and helps him up and does the same for Wonder Women.
J'onn the Martian Man Hunter flies down "we have a problem. Everyone turns to the Martian. "A nuclear submarine is about to hitting the ocean floor. The crew members are going to die if we don't act." Said the Martian.
The Justice League rush to the Javelin. The ship exits the watch tower and heads to earth.
In the Javelin
Wonder Women turns to Naruto "Sennin how many fighting styles do you know?" she asked. Naruto smirks "I mastered over Twenty martial art forms which consist of Five hundred variations and over 2000 stances. I have invented 3 forms which have no variations and thirty stances apiece. I have learned 30 more form but not mastered and those have fewer variation probably two hundred give or take a few and over 1000 stances. The only one I have never studied was Jeet Kune Do because it was fairly new and I was studying other styles." Said Naruto
The league made it to where the sub was and saw several men on what appeared to jet-skies. The Javelin's hatch opens and Green Lantern surrounds Naruto with a bubble while Wonder Women flies the ship. Naruto and Lantern go to the ocean, Naruto lands on the water and Green Lantern goes in using his ring to protect him from drowning. As soon as they land they are shot by the ships lasers. Naruto goes through some hand signs as water rises and crashes against several ships. A ship is coming at Naruto but Superman grabs the rider and lifts him into the air. Naruto destroys the ship but then get shot in the back by a beam forcing in to the air. Naruto backflips in the air and lands on the water. Naruto turns and see a man with blond hair with a beard holding a trident on a jet-ski. Naruto goes on guard and keeps the man in sight.
"What are you doing here?" demanded the man. Naruto puts his guard down as Superman and Wonder Women float next to him.
"We need to evacuate the sailors." Said Superman. The man narrows his eyes "that is not my concern." He said
Naruto steps up "who are you do decided the sailors fate?" question Naruto
Are you going to let them perish because of you hatred of the surface?" asked Naruto.
The man singles his men to stand down "I am the born ruler of Atlantis; Aquaman. But you do bring up a good point, I don't needless deaths on my hand, you can grab them but the sub stays." Said the king.
"You can't be serious. That has a nuclear core, we can't leave it here." John said
Naruto glares at him and bow to Aquaman "I accept the terms." Said Naruto
Naruto walks to where the sub lays on its side and rescues the trapped sailors. Meanwhile Superman is talking the Aquaman "you know, this could have been avoided?" said the man of steel.
Aquaman snorts "what do you mean?" he asks. Superman sighs "make a case at the General Assembly at the United Nations in two days." Said Superman.
John encases the sailors in his bubble and flies them to safety. Naruto disappears in a shunshin while Superman flies off and Wonder Women flies back to the Javelin and takes off.
Few days later at the watch tower John runs up "I knew we couldn't trust that man." He said. Naruto walks up to him with a soda in his hand "what do you mean?" asked Naruto.
"The sub has been stripped" said John. Diana walks up "and you think Aquaman had something to do with it?" she asked worried. John turned his head in her directions "who else could have done it princess?" snapped John. Naruto seeing a volatile situation decides to state his opinion "I think you accusing someone of a crime with no physical proof and Aquaman doesn't seem like the type to steal." Said Naruto.
Superman turns from the screen "if you're looking for Aquaman he's not in Atlantis." He said. They turn to the screen and see Aquaman walking past a police barricade in New York. He then enters the U.N building and walk into a closed session of the General Assembly.
New York U.N building
In the General Assembly Aquaman just finished listing his demands a man from France stands up "your demands are outrageous. It will cripple the global economy." He said.
Aquaman just stands there impassive "your problem, not mine." He said
Another diplomat stands up "who are you making such demands?" he asked
"I am the born ruler of Atlantis." Said the king. "A nation we don't even recognize." Said a man sitting in front of a Russian flag.
Aquaman starts to walk out but is stopped by Superman "I gave them a chance for peace and this is the reaction." Said Aquaman as he points to the angry diplomats in the room.
Superman sighs "this stuff takes time be patient." He told the warrior king.
Aquaman snorts "I am wasting my time." He says as he walks out.
As soon as he walks out a rocket is propelled at him blowing up near him sending Aquaman to the ground. Naruto turns his head and sees the assassin on a tall building.
"I will deal with him later. I have got to see if everyone is okay first" he thought
Naruto summons shadow clones to help the civilians as he rushes up to Aquaman. Naruto checks his pulse "the pulse really faint but still there, we have to get him to a hospital." Said Naruto. Naruto carries Aquaman and takes him to City General Hospital near the U.N building with a shunshin.
City General Hospital
In the hospital the doctors were working endlessly to save Aquaman. For two hours they tried everything but couldn't help him.
"What's the status doc?" asked Naruto. The head doctor turns to Naruto "I don't know what's wrong; his physiology is different than most humans." He stated.
Naruto is starting to worry "this is not good, if Aquaman dies Atlantis will declare war on the surface." Thought Naruto
Just as Naruto finished Batman comes in "he needs salt water part of his DNA is that of a fish. The Atlantian bodies must have adapted to withstand the pressure of the ocean." Stated Batman.
Naruto thinks for a moment "that makes sense." Naruto said as he and the doctors rush Aquaman to a tank with salt water and machines to simulate the ocean.
Two hours Aquaman eyes start to open as he looks around "what happened?" he asked
"Someone tried to kill you." Stated Superman.
Aquaman eyes narrow, just then John grabs Aquaman by the collar "what did you do with the sub's reactor." He demanded. Naruto face palms and shakes his head.
"My orders were to leave that sub were it lay." He snapped
Naruto eyes widen "Aquaman do you have any enemies high in military in Atlantis
Aquaman sits up "No everyone is loyal to me." He stated
Naruto snorts "you're naive to think that, most kings have some enemies." Stated Naruto
How are we going to find out?" asked John
I have a plan." Said Batman.
Later that day
Aquaman is on a stretcher being rolled out of the hospital. On a roof top a masked man with a bazooka take a look through a scoop and pulls the trigger but a shuriken hits the nozzle of the bazooka forcing the projectile hitting the ground in front of Aquaman. The assassin looks at a nearby roof and sees the Sennin up there. The man makes a run for it.
Naruto picks up his head set "Batman he's near you." Said Naruto. Naruto shunshins down to the floor as Aquaman transforms into J'onn and helps the medics. Naruto darts after the assassin after batman loses him, the dark knight he throws a tri pronged kunai letting Naruto get closer to the assassin. Naruto take off and joins up with Diana. They enter the sewer and corner the assassin.
Nowhere to go surrender." Said Naruto. Nowhere but up." Said the assassin as he throws a grenade causing Naruto and Wonder Women to fall a level. Naruto before manages to throw a kunai behind him. He grabs Diana and teleports to the marked kunai. They get there and see the assassin is no longer there.
Damn." Said Naruto as his eyes narrow.
The assassin get out of the sewer and gets into a truck and tries drive off but is stop by Superman. Superman lift the truck and tilts it back and forces the assassin to fall out through the back door along with a lot of gold pieces.
Superman grabs him as Naruto, Batman and Wonder Women come up. Wonder Women looks at him "why did you try to kill Aquaman?" she asked. The man chuckles "sorry can't tell you, trade secret." He said. He then looks up and down Wonder Women body his eyes resting on her chest.
"But for a price, I could give you that information." He said. Naruto swore he had a lecherous grin underneath that mask. Naruto sighs "He did not just do that?" Naruto said as he feels killer intent from Diana.
Naruto raises an eye brow "impressive. Her killer intent is as high as a chunin." He thought
Naruto grabs him and drags him "let me rescue him from certain death." He declares as Wonder Women unleashes more killer intent on the assassin causing him to shake a little.
Naruto takes him to the opposite side and slams his back against the wall while unleashing a little killer intent "We can do this three ways. We can do it the easy way, Wonder Women's way" Naruto smirks as he and the assassin see Diana cracking her knuckles in a threating manner. "Or my way. Let's just say you will want to go with first option, I want you to make my day by resisting" Said Naruto with a sadistic grin. The man is sweating a little from both killer intents.
"Okay; I will talk just don't let her near me or hurt me." He said scared stiff. Naruto smiles and drops him. He then drags him back. "Now before we ask you questions, I think you owe Wonder Women an apology." Said Naruto.
Everyone sweat drops "you can't be serious." Said the assassin.
I am waiting." Said Wonder Women with a smirk
"Fine, sorry for my perverted comment. There happy?" he said the last part low enough
Wonder Women puts a finger to her mouth thinking "it didn't sound like he meant it" said Wonder Women pretending to think.
The rest of the heroes were snickering and batman smirked
"I have never been so humiliated before." Thought the assassin
"Come on, can we please get on with the questioning?" he asked
The heroes get serious
Why did you try to kill Aquaman?" asked Batman. Naruto just groaned. The assassin just smirks at Naruto reaction underneath his mask
"Tough one, why would a hired gun try to kill someone? Maybe because he was paid to." He said.
Who hired you?" asked Naruto.
The man shrugs "don't know, I don't ask questions, I just do the job."
"Not good enough." Said Batman
How where you paid?" asked Superman
Gold" said the assassin as he points to the fallen truck.
Batman picks up a piece "it a Spanish Doubloon and several pieces of eight." He said
Naruto eyes widen "looks like I was right." He said
Batman nods his head "these come from Atlantis." Said Batman.
In Atlantis
Our king has been killed by the surface dwellers." Stated a man with blond hair and a clean shaven face he is holding the trident in his hand. "We must act now to avenge him." He stated just as the door opened and Aquaman walks in like a Gangster (can't believe I said that) "Orm" shouted Aquaman.
The man smiles maliciously "brother I am glad you're still alive." He said
Aquaman snarls "this is treason. Arrest him" Shouted Aquaman. The soldiers and generals in the hall advanced towards Aquaman. "What is the meaning of this?" asked Aquaman as he was grabbed by several soldiers. "I am glad you're here, we have a body to prove the surface world murder of our king." Said Orm smiling as Aquaman was taken to a cell.
After the meeting and coup a women with red hair run up to Orm "is it true; has my husband been killed?" she asked. Orm put an arm around here "I am afraid my dear Mera that it is true. Don't worry I have already placed your son under my protection. It would be a shame if he was killed by the surface dwellers." Stated Orm. Mera looks at him in shock and runs away. Orm turns and walk out the door.
Mera is running back to her quarters when she runs into someone "Tsunami" she says frantic. The man who has brown hair looks at the worry in her face "what's wrong your highness?" he asked as he grabs her and hold her steady so she doesn't fall.
"It my husband, Orm captured him and is going after my son." She said as Tsunami's eyes narrow "shit" he whisper "We have to get you to safety." He said in a commanding tone. "As the captain of the King Personal Guard I protect you with my life." Said Tsunami" The man pulls a receiver off his belt "did you find the prince?" he asked.
The receiver come on "The men we had posted to protect him were kill by Orm's men." Said the man on the other line. Do you know if they took him?" Asked the captain. "We just got in, his crib is empty sir" said the man on the other line
Tsunami looks at Mera as she is crying uncontrollably "you highness we have to get you out of here. If he captures you he can take the throne legally" said the captain. Mera looks at him with tears coming out. "I have to save my son. I would rather die than lose my son" said Mera. The captain sigh and then turns around and punches one of Orm's men "shit there already here." He said as he pulls out a dagger.
The captain manages to kill about ten of Orm's men before he starts to get tired. One of the solider stabs him in the side and kneels but slowly gets back up but is kicked back down. The captain struggle to get up but is too injured. A man pulls out a sword and points it at the down captain. 'Die traitor." Shouts the soldier as he thrust the blade down
To be continued
On an enemy below
Cliff hanger
A/N: Sorry for the cliff hanger. I wanted to change something minor that will have a major effect in the chapter. I added an ally to show that not all soldiers turned against Aquaman. His guards our still on his side as was proven. Mera refused to leave because what mother would let their son be kidnaped. I think she would rather die than lose her son. One last thing is that the Personal Guards are the best in fighting. That is how he was able to kill ten of Orm's men. One last thing is Orm is one evil dude to pick on an infant.
Let me know if I should continue with the change follow to the original cannon to a T.
