1Chapter three (Naruto meets JLU version 2)

*AN. Let's recap shall we, last time each member remaining member of were being sent on different missions. Neji, Sasuke and Sakura were sent on a mission with Iruka while Kiba, Shino, Chouji, Anko and Hinata went on a special mission with Shikamaru in Gotham City. Upon arriving in Gotham city were our group meets with Mr. Bruce Wayne and a certain someone they haven't seen in three years. The shock is too much for them including Hinata who passes out from the shock of seeing her long-time crush alive and well passed out at the site of him being so close to him again like she used to back when they were genin. Now on with the story...

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Demon talking

Jon telepathically speaking

*Outside Wayne Industries*

"OH MAN!!! SHIKAMARU HELP ME!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER? IS SHE SICK DOES SHE NEED A DOCTOR?" To say that Naruto was panicking was an understatement. Just as Hinata was about hit the ground Naruto caught Hinata and held her close to him. Now he was worried that she was fatally ill or something. At that very moment Diana shows up and sees Naruto holding a girl in his arms, out cold and decides to see what's wrong.

"Bruce Naruto what's wrong and why are you holding that girl Naruto and better question why is she knocked out?" Naruto knew that ticking off Diana was a bad idea. And he had every right to be afraid. The last time Diana was this mad was when she found out that Bruce was teaching him about how to be a playboy and needless to say that Naruto had never seen Batman run so fast away from a woman. Before things got out of hand (and Diana skinned him alive) Bruce decided to be the voice of reason and calm Diana down.

"Diana look, this is Naruto's new secretary and she just fainted. My guess is from the long flight to Gotham City. Perhaps we should take her and her friends to their hotel and finish talking this out?" Shikamaru decided that now would be a good time to make him and his friends scarce so that he could explain the situation to them, before he lost his head.

"Actually Mr. Wayne, my friends are staying with me for the time being, so if its alright can you just drop us off at my place. That and I don't think Hinata's is in any condition to start working today. When she wakes up I'll call you and perhaps we could schedule a dinner date, sound like a good idea?" Bruce just smirked and knew that the young ninja that has been working for him, knew something about this girl that Naruto had yet to let go of. Bruce also knew that Shikamaru would never bring anyone he didn't trust with Naruto and knew that this girl must have been very special in Naruto's life before he lost his memory.

"Sounds like a good plan to me, Naruto you go with Shikamaru to his place and help him get Hinata comfortable after that you come straight back here. There are still some things we need to talk about. And I think Diana wants to talk to you as well." Naruto nodded to his boss and went into the limo with Shikamaru and his friends. All the while never letting go of Hinata for a second. As Naruto was leaving, Bruce and Diana went to his office to talk about League business.

"So did you find anything about this weird snake guy?" Diana turned to Bruce as he went to his desk and began to look over the report that Naruto had given him about the mission he went on with Hawk and Dove three days ago.

"Nothing in the police database about this guy, and there have been no break out in Arkhem recently. I'm just as puzzled as you are about this. Any luck finding that guy Naruto, Hawk and Dove told you about?" Bruce looked up from the papers and stared at Diana.

"You mean besides the fact that he is the biggest lech Vixen and I have ever seen. We almost caught him until we ran into a pair of idiots that almost got the better of us. Vixen and I were able to stop them but not without a fight. Those two are at the watch tower right now for questioning, but there's a bit of a problem." Diana looked at Bruce with dread knowing that once this is over she has to go back and deal with those two idiots again. Bruce just gave her a questioning look.

"What's the problem then? Are they that much trouble or are they playing stupid to the point that some one wants to kill them?" Bruce failed to notice the vein pulsing on Diana's head from the thought of these two.

"Well actually, THOSE TWO ARE DRIVING US INSANE!!!!! THEY NEVER SHUT UP AND IF I HEAR THEM TALK ABOUT THE JOYS OF YOUTH CRAP ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND AND KILL THEM MYSELF IF FLASH AND THE OTHERS DON'T FIRST!!!" to say that Diana was frustrated by those two (AN. Take a wild guess who they have up in the watch tower driving them insane). It was times like this that Bruce was glad that the walls in his office were sound proof.

"Okay what do you need me to do and could you please calm down Diana, before you break something like you did the last time. I don't think my secretary can take having another chair thrown out of my office because of your temper." Bruce was practically praying to the Lord Almighty that Diana didn't kill him because of these idiots. Bruce had dealt with his fair share of morons, on the top of that list was the Joker. And he knew how frustrating it could be to be around someone who is a complete idiot.

"Here's the deal Bruce either you and Naruto cancel the rest of your appointments for the day and come to the watch tower to either knock some sense into these guys or they won't be alive in the next three hours. As for your dinner plans with Naruto's new secretary you can keep that appointment, but above all get to the watch tower before we all do something we all will regret in the morning, well most of us anyway." Bruce knew he was defeated and decided to call Naruto on his cell phone. As for our orange ninja he and the others had just arrived at Shikamaru's apartment and was putting Hinata in the guest room.

"So Shikamaru Hinata is going to be my secretary right? Why didn't you tell me she was a total babe! I mean I can tell she smart, smarter than she let's herself believe, but she absolutely gorgeous!!" After Naruto put Hinata on the bed he got a real good look at her. To Naruto she was breath-taking, long dark hair that shone like the night sky. A body that would put super models to shame and for some odd reason she felt so right in his arms like they were made for each other. To him she was just perfect. Shikamaru held a smirk and knew that his plan would work. He knew that Hinata held a special place in his idiot friends heart since they were kids but was afraid to let those feelings be known for fear of the villagers and her father. He knew that Naruto was used to being ridiculed and hated by the villagers but the thought of having someone else getting hurt because of him was another story.

"Well my friend you'll get to introduce yourself properly to her this evening at dinner until-," Shikamaru was cut off by Naruto's cellphone.

"Yeah Bruce? Yah but...it can't wait until....that bad huh. Can't Diana just.....okay I'll be back at the office in ten minutes. I'll let Shikamaru know that he has the rest of the day of and he also gets a big fat bonus for finding me a secretary, but can I talk to you about how much work Hinata will be getting when we get back, okay thanks....bye. *click* Hey Shikamaru I gotta head back to the office a bit of an emergency has come up and Bruce wants me there to help work out the problem. He said it would be good practice for me when I run a business of my own one day. But could you let Ms. Hyuga know that I will be seeing her and you tonight at dinner and that I will look forward to seeing her for me. See-ya. It was nice meeting all of you by the way Shikamaru has said nothing but good things about all of you, bye." And with that Naruto was out the door and Shikamaru was left at the hands of some of the deadliest shinobi known to man. Shikamaru was not afraid of what his friends would do, it was Anko he was afraid of. For out of all of the female shinobi that could make any man's blood run cold Anko came in third next to Sakura and they both were topped by the Lady Hokage herself. Shikamaru knew that he was in for a long afternoon of explaining everything. And with any luck he might make it to dinner without severe injuries. Shino was the first to speak for he knew that if Anko, Chouji, or Kiba were to talk to Shikamaru, the fool would probably end up in the emergency room.

"Alright Shikamaru your going to tell us everything that has been going on and why you never told us that Naruto has been alive for the past three years. And you had better tell us everything or else my bugs will be feasting on your bones. But before you explain yourself, I'll go get Hinata cause she needs to here this too. Be right back." Shino then went into the guest room and found Hinata waking up and confused as well. Once everyone was in the den Shikamaru began to tell everyone what had happened. Meanwhile at the watch tower our two favorite youth loving idiots are close to meeting their maker by the hands of Super Girl who wishes she didn't have super hearing right now.

*Watch Tower five minutes later*

"Steel I'm telling you if someone doesn't shut those two up, I'll shut them up permanently myself!!!!" Kara was to the breaking point of her sanity as well as everyone else. As it turns out the two idiots that Vixen and Diana brought back to the watch tower were none other than Gai and Rock Lee. And to say that those two were driving everyone nuts was an understatement. If Gai wasn't yelling about the "fire of youth", trying to challenge everyone or trying to sneak off to the training room, Lee was giving everyone stomach pains from his cooking which was all spicy curry (An. If any of you remember the episode that had that curry of life, picture the curry at the end of the episode that was bright red and bubbling). Because of Lee's cooking three members of the League had to have their stomachs pumped and put in intensive care for a couple of days. Needless to say that Gai and Lee were wearing out their welcome and fast. But before Lee and Gai got the day lights beat out of them by Shayera who was running out of patience for those two and fast and Vigilante who was getting tired of having to watch those idiots and keep the other members from killing them, Superman decided to have Batman and Shadow Ninja talk to them for the sake of the League and for Gai and Lee's own safety. Heck Huntress had to be held back by Zatanna, Vixen, Dove, Creeper, Hawk, Black Canary and Green Arrow just to make sure that those idiots would be alive by the time Batman and Shadow Ninja got here to interrogate them and to prevent them from having a close encounter with the endangered species list if Huntress got to them. Steel was about to say something to Kara to help ease her mind and to prevent her from murdering those two when the two people that they have been waiting for finally showed up.

"Oh Hosanna it's the lesser of two evils. You have no idea how glad we are to see you guys. The two guys that Diana and Vixen brought are down the hall next to the infirmary." Batman and Shadow looked at Kara with confusion. But before Shadow could ask her why they were near the infirmary Crimson Fox decided to answer for her since she just came from there. But Crimson Fox only went to the infirmary to get a bottle of asprine for her head..

"Well if you two didn't show up in time those two would be in the infirmary any way with broken bones, bruises and a fractured rid or two and being pumped with enough morphine to ease the pain and to shut them up for about three days." Kara nodded her head in agreement and Crimson Fox left to the cafeteria to get some lunch and water to take the asprine.

(AN. Okay from here on out I'll be calling Naruto by his League name, Shadow Ninja so there will be no confusion in this chapter. Now on with the story)

"Well Bats let's get down there before those two idiots actually get killed by someone and my money is on Shayera killing them first before Huntress." Batman just looked at Shadow for a minute.

"Shadow why do you say that?" Batman was curious to find out why the idiot had said that in the first place.

"Simple because Shayera just went past here with her mace and she didn't look to happy. That and her eye was doing that twitching thing that it does when ever she gets really mad at someone like Diana eyes do when she mad about something." Both Batman and Diana ran down the hall to stop Shayera from killing the idiots. Both of them arrived just in time to stop her from entering the room.

"Shayera let Shadow and I handle this. Why don't you take your frustrations out on the training drones." Shayera just sighed and caused Batman to look at her.

"Batman have you seen the long line to the training room? Those two have literally driven everyone on this thing to the brink of insanity. The only thing keeping us from killing them is training. So the only way I'm going to relax is if you get those two out of here and back home on the double." Shadow noticed the pulsing vein on Shayera's head and knew she meant business.

"Don't worry the minute we get what information we need out of them they are going back home. So you can go relax Shayera and try not to kill anyone on the way to your room please." Shadow gave her his famous fox grin which made Shayera smile herself. No matter how mad she was, seeing Shadow smile made her feel better for some reason.

(AN. After rejoining the League Shayera become protective of Naruto. Flash told her the story about how they found him and how he lost his memory. Since then she's watch over him like a big sister. Shayera knows that his memory will come back one day and when that day comes she along with Diana and the others will be there to help him. Cause what ever happens to Naruto good or bad they will be there for him. Now back to the story)

As Batman and Shadow walked into the room where our favorite morons were, Shadow had a feeling that something was about to happen that would shatter his world. Deep in Shadows mind of familiar fox was waking up and thought it was time to help the boy regain his memories and fast. For he knew that a great battle was in store for this boy and he needed his friends help. Kyubi knew that the Akastuki wouldn't rest until they found Naruto and Orochimaru was looking for the boy as well the fox knew he was up to something from the news reports Naruto had watched each day.

'I think its time my container and I get reacquainted, but business before pleasure. Don't worry kit everything will be alright. I think I will let that green Martian look into the kids mind. I need to have a talk with him anyway.' Kyubi went back to resting inside the boys mind, well he tried to because the moment Shadow stepped into the room Kyubi heard the one thing he hoped he wouldn't hear for a long time.

"OH JOYOUS DAYS TWO MORE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THE FIRE OF YOUTH AND SPAR WITH!!!" Batman, Shadow Ninja and Kyubi all cringed at the loud sound. But the one who was in real pain was Kyubi for he knew if the kit stayed in the room long enough, Kyubi would strike out at those idiots just to shut them up and hurt not only the kit but everyone on this thing. So to prevent unnecessary bloodshed, our fox demon friend decided to cause a little pain by giving his container the worst headache known to man.

'Forgive me kit but it's the only way' Naruto heard a voice and looked around to see who was there. For some reason that voice was familiar to him. Like he knew it was close but couldn't see it.

"Say Bats did you say anything just now to me?" Batman shook his head no which caused Shadow to worry more. Batman began to notice the worried look on Shadows face. Even with a mask covering his face, Batman could tell something was troubling him. Then Shadow clutched his head as if he was in pain.

"Shadow what's wrong?" Shadow did his best to talk through the pain as the pain in his head increased.

"I..d-don't know. All...of a sudden my head is hurting. Before that...happened I..I..I heard a voice say 'forgive me' then the..AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Naruto clutched his head tighter as the pain increased ten-fold. Superman came rushing in as well as Flash and Lantern. All were wondering what was going on.

"What happen what's going on. Shadow say something, anything!" Flash was trying his best to stay calm to help Shadow. Shadow was like a kid brother to him and was afraid that he was going to lose him.

"Flash bring Naruto to me. Something is attacking him within his mind . Hurry we don't have much time" Jon contacted Flash telepathically and knew that it was time to find out what was in the boys mind once and for all. Flash arrived two seconds later with the boy in his arms. Flash laid him down on the table and moved so Jon could find out what is going on in Naruto's mind.

"Who or what are you? Why are you hurting this boy, he has done nothing to deserve this treatment from you, so why?" Jon was now able to go into Naruto's mind and find out what was going on. Jon was surprised when he entered the boys mind and found himself in what looked like a dungeon with faulty plumbing. Jon walked around until he came to the end where he noticed a giant cage with a paper seal on it. But that wasn't the biggest surprise Jon got. (An. No pun intended) As Jon moved closer to the cage he spotted for the first time in three years what was in the boys mind. For there before Jon was a gigantic nine tailed fox. Jon couldn't believe his eyes. Now he knew what was keeping him from reading Naruto's mind the first time three years ago. Now all of Naruto's dreams were beginning to make sense. All of the foxes he saw was him.

"Now I understand what was stopping me the first time I tried to read the boys mind. It was you. You were the one that stopped me from reading his mind three years ago and you were the one attacking his mind now weren't you?" The fox just chuckled at the Martian. Jon then noticed something inside the cage that looked like a smaller version of Naruto as a child nestled on top of the fox's head fast asleep. Jon also noticed that the fox held a sad expression on its face. Like it was dreading what it was about to say next.

"Yes it was me. I only did it because I thought you were going to hurt Naruto. And yes it was me that was hurting him a little while ago. But I only did it to get your attention and to get away from those two idiots that call themselves shinobi. You see there is something that is after Naruto. Something that I had hoped wouldn't show themselves for a long time. There is a group of rogue ninjas out there that call themselves the Akastuki and the plan on finding every demon container out there and steal the demons from withing them for their power but not without a great risk on the container. The problem with this is that once the demon is removed, the container dies. I had hoped that by the kit staying with you he would be safe. I was selfish to think that by laying dormant in the boys mind and not cause any problems for him he could live a somewhat normal life. The life that he never had in the Leaf village." Jon looked at the mighty fox with confusion on his face.

"What do you mean? The life that he never had. What happened to the boy that caused him to have you sealed in him any way? Something told Jon that the answer that he was going to get was not going to be good.

"Well sixteen years ago I was living in the realm of summon spirits. My clan was the most feared of all summon beast. The only ones who could have stood a chance of fighting us was the toad clans leader Chief Toad, the head of the snake clan Madra, the raccoon dog of the dessert. Everything was peaceful for my clan until some fool named Orochimaru came and killed my mate and my son. I was so furious at this human I went searching for him. I followed his trail out of the realm of summons only to fall into another trap. As it turns out he put a powerful genjutsu on me that made my rage uncontrollable. And he let me run loose to destroy the village of the leaf. Being blinded by my anger and rage I had no idea what was going on until I ended up sealed behind this cage inside the kids body. Naruto didn't find out about me until he started training with that perverted toad sage Jiraiya, the guy your two female friends were looking for. Since then I've gotten to know more about this kid. He has a kind heart and big dreams for making his home a better place. Which kinda surprised me seeing how most of the villagers didn't like this kid to begin with." Jon then noticed the fox's fur began to stand on end. Jon knew something awful had happened in Naruto's childhood and the fox was not at all happy about it.

"Tell me fox, what happened in the boys childhood that makes you so angry? And do you know about those two that are here?" Jon knew he was overstepping in bounds with the fox but he needed to know what was going on before Naruto was hurt.

"Before I tell you what happened in his youth, I need to tell you about those idiots you have up here. Their names are Gai and Rock Lee and they are just two of the many people Naruto holds dear in his life. Gai is one of the Jounins of the leaf and takes pride in his favorite students progress. Now the mini-me version of him with the unusual eye brows is called Rock Lee. Lee and Naruto were rivals for the heart of a certain pink haired girl named Sakura. Lee has proven time and time again to not only be a strong warrior and companion, but also to be the stupidest kid I have ever seen. But I take it you and your friends have already figured that part out. If you want to know more about those two try looking for a man named Kakashi and he will tell you anything you need to know about Gai and his student. Now as for what happened in his childhood, you must promise that you will not reveal this information to anyone, not even the Bat. For you see Naruto almost walked down the path of darkness. You see many of the villagers thought that because I was sealed in the boy, that he was me. So they either ignored him, called him a monster when they thought he wasn't paying attention to him, heck they even warned their kids to stay away from him. Naruto was all alone as a child. He had no parents cause his mother died giving birth to him and his father died sealing me into Naruto. Naruto in my opinion is nothing short of a saint, compared to those villagers that nearly killed him. You see on Oct. 10th is not only the anniversary of my defeat but the day Naruto was brought into this world. And the villagers did everything they could to end Naruto's life on that day. They would literally beat this kid to the point that he comes close to death. It's a wonder the boy wasn't screwed up after the many beatings he received. But despite all that he still wanted to protect the people there and prove to these people that he could make something out of himself. Naruto has a big heart and loves all of his friends and will fight tooth and nail to protect them. Including the love of his life Hinata Hyuga. That Nara kid must of had the same idea that I was thinking. If any one can bring back the boys good memories its her. She is exactly what he needs right now. Remember Martian, you must not tell anyone about what you have just heard. You are free to look into the boys mind, but only with his permission. Now I think its time for the both of you to wake up. And get those two out of here will ya. If those two yahoos stay here any longer I might have to kill them myself if that winged lady doesn't kill them first." Kyubi heard Jon laughed and knew that the fox was getting tired of listening to them as well.

"Alright, but you must promise that you will stop hurting Naruto. What you did almost killed him. But I will keep my promise, but you must reveal your self to the boy before its too late. Until next time, fox." Jon then came out of the coma like state and found that Naruto was still out cold.

"So did you find out what was going on in Shadow's head Jon?" Flash look at his Martian friend hoping that what ever was wrong in Shadow's head is gone for good.

"Don't worry Flash he'll be fine, I found the problem but it requires that those two visitors that Batman is talking to leave. When Shadow stepped into the room with those two in there it jogged some part of his memory and the strain was too much on him. He'll be fine though. Now as for those two go see if Batman is down talking to them so we can get them out of here." Flash knew that his Martian friend was to his breaking point with those two as well.

"Sure I'll let Bats know that when he's done with them to send them back. And you have just made a lot of people happy. But why don't we just send these two to Arkem and be done with it. I mean where ever these guys live they must drive their neighbors nuts too, so I say why not do them a big favor and lock these two up?" Flash was hoping that Jon would agree with him but Batman decided to intervene that very moment.

"Cause the last thing I want to deal with is those two in my home town so they are going back home NOW!!!!" While Batman was talking to Gai and Lee he noticed that Lee was carrying around an old picture that had him, Naruto and a few other boys dressed in summer yukatas. One of the boys he recognized as Shikamaru and knew that this boy was one of Naruto's friends from his past. But seeing as how Naruto at the moment was out of commission, he decided to tell him later, much later.

"Have the Lantern go with Flash to send these two back home and to make sure that they stay there this time. I don't want those two idiots up here ever again, also I need Huntress, Black Canary, and Green Arrow to go look for a man named Jiraiya. I did a little digging and found out that he has quiet a record when it comes to hitting bars and clubs that have beautiful women. He's also the author of the perverted books that seem to be a hit with a lot of single desperate lonely men out there. I ran a search on some of the usual places that he would be, and I found out something else but I need to talk to Superman about that. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find him and then call Shikamaru and let him know about the dinner date Shadow and I have with a miss Hyuga." Flash looked from Batman to Shadow with a look of confusion on his face.

"Okay, I know that it's none of my business but who is this Hyuga person?" Flash was about to get the surprise of his life from what Batman was about to tell him.

"From what the Nara kid told me, she was his girlfriend before he lost his memory and she's now his new secretary." Flash nodded his head and left to go find Lantern to take Gai and Lee home. Until five minutes later he comes back into the infirmary.

"SHE'S HIS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" Then Flash faints on the spot.

*AN. Wow wasn't expecting that. Well that's it for chapter three. I'll have the next chapter up later on this week along with some of my other stories. And I apologize for taking so long to update my stories, Midterm week was murder on my Brain. So until next time...Ja ne!!!
