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.
"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.
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
The captain of the Kings Personal guard was about to be stabbed. But the solider that was over him fell down with a sword in his back. A man picks up the captain "are you okay sir?" he asked.
The captain turns his head "how many are left of the guards" asked the injured captain.
"We are the only five left we have to get you and her highness to the underwater docks." said the solider.
As two of the soldiers help their captain to the docks ten more of Orm's men intercept them. The fight was short but the five guards we're able to take out the ten soldiers. The Captain and the queen manage to leave on the ship while the remaining guards cover their escape.
In the ocean next to a cliff Aquaman was chained to the cliff's wall and Orm was doing his generic evil brother stuff of getting rid of the king and his son. "Well brother it looks like you have been murdered by the surface dwellers and I will avenge you in a grand war against them." He said.
Aquaman snarls "you won't be king, the next person to the throne is my son." Said Aquaman.
Orm smiles "yes that would be a problem but I solved it already," said Orm as he takes out a bundle of cloth and opens it to reveal the prince. Aquaman eyes widen as he starts to struggle against the chains holding him. Orm takes a knife and stabs it in to the cliff and props the prince up by the holder on the cloth. Orm then shoots the ground and it opened reveling to be lava that is rising.
"So long brother I have to avenge your death by the evil surface dwellers" said Orm as he leaves on an underwater jet ski
Near the U.N building
Just handed the assassin over to the authorities "we have to get Aqua he's in more danger then I thought." Said Naruto. Superman nods "very well, I think that we should head to the hospital we place Aquaman in." said the Man Steel.
Green Lantern walks up "don't bother, his royal pain in the ass just left." Said John
Naruto shook his head "how did that happen." Asked the ninja
Flashback
In the hospital room John was sitting on the bed while Aquaman was pacing "how long will it take to capture this assassin?" asked Aquaman
John sighs "be patient your highness, everything is under control." Said John
Aquaman turns with his back facing John he swings around fast slugging John in the face knocking him out.
"You assume too much." Said Aquaman as he leaves to hospital room.
End Flashback
"Troublesome blond" said Naruto who if it wasn't a serious situation he would smirk at the irony of the statement
In the past in Konoha
Shikamaru sneezed "troublesome, I am pretty sure a certain blond is talking about me." Said the lazy genus as he is checkmated by his father in Shogi (sorry had to do it, I had never done a troublesome reference before.)
In the present
Naruto eyes widen as he pulls out an ear piece and puts it on "what up?" he asked. The next things you hear are "yes, okay, thank you and stay safe." From Naruto.
Naruto turns around "damn, I just receive word from my spy network in Atlantis." Said Naruto.
"It's seemed as Orm, Aquaman's brother just captured him and has usurped the throne." Said Naruto
The heroes are worried by this news "We have to stop Orm" said Superman as he looks at the assembled heroes
"Everyone but Wonder Women and I must head to Atlantis. Be on guard if Orm is in command then don't expect a warm welcome" stated Naruto as he hand a tri pronged kunai to Superman
Everyone leaves but Diana and Naruto. Diana turns to Naruto "why are we staying Naruto?" she asked.
Naruto looks at her "I am waiting for someone, according to my sources the queen was able to escape and she got an injured soldier with her." Said Naruto.
Naruto creates a clone "I need you to find Aquaman and rescue him" said Naruto to his clone
The clone salutes his creator and jumps in the water.
Naruto walks to nearest water sources. He then releases some chakra to send vibrations thought the water in mores code. After waiting for an hour an Atlantian vessel appears. Naruto walks up as does Diana. The cockpit opens and Mera steps out with the injured and unconscious captain in the passenger seat.
Naruto bows the Mera "welcome Queen of Atlantis" said Naruto diplomatically.
The queen looks relieved "thank you for singling us, but my body guard is hurt we need to take him to a medical facility." She said.
Naruto nods his head and carry's the captain out of the ship. Naruto lays him down and looks at his injures "He's hurt badly but no vitals were hit. He'll live but won't be able to fight we can get him walking at least." Stated Naruto.
Naruto's hand glow green and places it on his side where he was injured. Soon the wound starts to close and he transfers some energy to the captain. He then starts to wake up There you can walk but you're still weak so you won't be able to fight right now." Said Naruto.
In the water
Superman and J'onn are swimming towards Atlantis while John is inside his protective green barrio. They enter the city and are immediately attacked by the army. Superman takes out a few with some punches while J'onn becomes intangible making the soldiers hit each other. Green Lantern creates a green fist and punches the soldiers. But they are soon overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Green Lantern is the first to fall by a stray shot form a shock gun that the soldiers use. Superman is the next to fall by being shot with the trident by Orm. J'onn is over powered by to many soldiers and is shot by the trident. The three are now knocked out and are being dragged to the holding cell.
With Aquaman
The Lava starts to rise as Aquaman tries to break the chain holding him. The prince starts to cry as if knowing he was going to die. Aquaman manages to release one arm and he grabs a dagger from somewhere and tries to release the other. He sees it's pointless as the Lava rises. Aquaman looks at his son then his chained hand and he thrust the dagger down.
On the surface
Naruto looks at Mera "We have to take the fight to Orm. Can you take us to Atlantis?" asked Naruto. Mera nods "yes I can take you there, but you must promise not to reveal were it is." she said.
"Agreed, my lips are sealed." Stated Naruto
The three people minus the captain who was ordered to not go due to his weakened state went to the ship and took off. The captain was being guarded by a clone so he doesn't try something to hurt himself further.
Naruto was meditating when his eye opened suddenly.
Five minutes previously with Naruto clone in the ocean
The clone is swimming to where he sensed Aquaman "good thing I can sense life force of living organisms." Thought the clone as he swims he senses a drop in life energy of Aquaman. He speeds up to get there in time.
The clone gets there and sees blood around the area. He tries to sense where Aquaman is exactly. He picks up two sources but their moving. The clone finally catches up to Aquaman. But gasps when he sees Aquaman's injury. Naruto gets in front of Aquaman "Naruto what are you doing here?" he asked surprised to see the ninja.
Naruto looks at him I was able to figure out what was going on. I am glad to see you're somewhat okay." Stated Naruto. "What happened to your arm?" asked the Ninja as he looks at the stump.
I had to sever it to save my son from death." Stated Aquaman.
The clone nods his head "we have the queen she is save and is leading my original body and Wonder Women to Atlantis we better head there so you can take the throne back." Said the clone as they continue to swim.
Outside Atlantis
The sub carrying Naruto, Wonder Women and Mera arrive at the same time as Aquaman and the clone arrive. After thinking of a plan they enter the city and just like the heroes that came before are attacked. Naruto blows a huge gust of wind out of his mouth sending them at the wall on the opposite side of the loading dock. Aquaman starts to beat the crap out of the soldier with one arm while Wonder Women flies into several soldiers knocking them out. Mera is protecting her son with a dagger killing the soldiers that come near her. Naruto turns and see a soldier take aim at Mera. Naruto disappears in shunshin and reappear behind him. Naruto taps his shoulder as the man goes for a punch only to be blocked then have his larynx cut by a kunai killing him instantly. They continue to fight their way to the holding cell. After disposing the guards they see the three members of the Justice League and three of the King Personal Guards in the holding cell.
Naruto release the justice league while Aquaman releases the guard. The three guards bow "I am glad to see that you are okay sire," said one of the guards.
Aquaman nod his head "are you the only ones left of the guards?" he asked.
We surrendered after the queen and captain left. Since our initial mission was successful we thought we should give up so we can live and fight another day." Said the one of the guards.
Aquaman turns to Mera "Where is the captain?" he asked. Naruto stepped up "He came with the queen but he was injured; I was able to heal his wounds but he still too weak to help us so I had a clone to keep him from aiding us so he doesn't die. " said Naruto
By the way, do you know why Orm would want the Subs core?" asked Naruto.
Aquaman looks surprised "I believe I do, we have a reactor that would be used should the surface world ever invade Atlantis.' Stated Aquaman.
"What does it do?" asked Superman. Aquaman sighs "it will melt the polar ice caps in the north pole. It was meant to be used as last defense. I never armed it." Said the king
John steps up "Orm must have armed it with the reactor from the Sub." Stated the Lantern. Naruto thinks for a moment "we have an advantage." Said Naruto.
Everyone looks at him "Orm think he has killed Aquaman and his son as well as capture some of us already. We have the element of surprise on our side; if we strike quickly and decisively we will win." Stated Naruto.
Everyone nods their heads in agreement. Naruto looks at Aquaman hand anyway we need to get Aquaman a replacement for his lost limb." Said Naruto. "Mera do you have a personal medic you can call on?" asked Naruto. Mera nods "Yes I called him the moment I saw my husband's arm of lack of it. He'll meet us at the infirmary" She said.
Naruto and the other go to the infirmary to get Aquaman a replacement. In the infirmary Aquaman is laying down while the doctor is attaching a hook on his hand. In the waiting room Wonder Women looks shock "to go to that length." She said. John shakes his head "I knew that man was crazy." He stated.
Naruto heard that and unleashed some killer intent at John. Naruto stood up to speak with John shaking "I will overlook that comment because you have never lost a loved one in war. You might have lost comrades while in the marines but you have never lost a relative or family member in the battlefield." Stated Naruto glaring at John but lowering his killer intent. "Remember this John physical pain is nothing compared to emotional" he finished with a saddened look.
Everyone looks at Naruto with different thought.
"He still a child compared to me. He couldn't have fought in a war; the last war was the Persian Gulf and he would have been underage to fight in the battle."Thought John looking down in shame at what he said knowing Naruto was right.
"Who are you Naruto, he knows a deity fighting style that should not be known outside the Amazonians or Olympian Gods or Goddess. There is only one person who trained with the Gods but he would have died from old age unless he was given a demi-god status from Zeus. He is also very smart and a trickster on the level of Dolus and as brave as Apollo. Is he the warrior who helped the God a long time in that war. He just looks older then he appears just from that statement." Thought Diana
"I sense many emotion most of them negative as if he has suffered numerous loses. There is saddens, regret, and self-loathing. Naruto is very complex then most humans when it comes to emotions" thought J'onn.
"He has more wisdom then most kings it far exceed his age." Thought Mera
The three guard look at each other
"He is a harden veteran in battle." Thought one
"He has killed apparently by how easy he took out Orm's men but still has respect of life." Thought the second soldier
"He is nice one moment, brutal the next, and philosophical after that. He is different from most surface dwellers" thought the last soldier.
Damn why did I snap at him. But it's true he doesn't have a clue about losing his loved ones in battle." Naruto thought as he remembers the family that he lost and pictures Jiraiya, Hinata, Team 7 members and the Third Hokage appear in his mind.
Naruto walks out and pulls out a communicator "Batman do you read?" asked Naruto.
"I am here Sennin." Said the Dark knight.
Check on the status of the North Pole and let me know if there is any anomaly in terms of increase heat." Said Naruto.
"On it batman out." Said the caped crusader.
Naruto walks back and goes to John "Sorry about snapping but you have got to stop being a marine all the time." Said Naruto extending his hand to John
John gets up "Sorry if I offended you in any way as well as Aquaman. I will try to control my impulses" Said John as he shakes Naruto's hand.
Just then Aquaman comes out with a brand new hook. "Let finish this." Said the King. A beep was heard and Naruto picks up the communicator "What did you find out Batman?" asked Naruto
I am heading to the North Pole. I didn't read any rising heat signatures but he might have not put the core in." stated batman.
"When you get there place the kunai there I will teleport myself to help." Said Naruto
Naruto turns to the assembled heroes "I am going to have Batman throw a marker to the ground so I can get there faster. I need the rest to get started on to the North Pole" said Naruto
With Batman
Batman is currently over Canada flying to the North Pole as he land on the opposite side he take the marked Kunai and throws it. Naruto appears in a flash of light. He and Batman nod at each other and they head to the fortress made of ice that holds the reactor. The bust the door down and see Orm walking up to the weapon he is just about to place the core in when it's knocked away by a batarang. Orm turns around a smirks "well looks like I have proof of the assassination of our king and attempt on his brother." Stated Orm. Naruto hold his hand out "I will handle this, you must get the core." whispered Naruto. Batman nods his head and races to where the core landed.
Naruto looks Orm in the eye. "Orm I challenge you to the ritual Agua Duellum in the name of Arthur Curry." Said Naruto.
Orm's eyes widen "how do you know of that?" he demand. I have lived for centuries so of course I will know of this ritual. When it's invoked you must except or the throne goes to the invoker or the man he represents" said Naruto smirking.
Orm is sweating "damn he's got me there but my men don't care about tradition. I can use that mantle against him." Thought Orm smiling "I accept."
Orm get the trident "I am sure you know that no one can interfere and it's to the death. Just weapons and hand to hand fighting. In other word you can't use your powers." Stated Orm.
Naruto nodded "I don't need my power. You have already lost due to your over confident nature." Stated Naruto as he takes out something from his pocket. It looks like a handle of a sword but with no blade. The item unravels itself from a short handle out of the front to form a short sword. (Think of box cutter coming out of its sleeve)
Naruto goes into a stance the sword in a horizontal position to his chest. Orm points the trident at Naruto and fire a blast that is blocked by the sword. Naruto goes in for a swing but that is block. Orm jumps back and shots the blast out of the trident but is blocked as Naruto advances in a fast pace hoping close the distance. Orm continues to shot while backing up but can't hit. They finally exit the fortress into the snow.
Naruto finally reach Orm and knocks the trident away "surrender Orm you have lost this fight and the duel." said Naruto pointing his sword at Orm.
Orm smirks and his single with his hands. Naruto seeing this turns around and manages to block a blast from a soldier and starts to fight Orm's men as they fire their blaster at Naruto. Naruto continues to fight back by blocking the blasts with his blade then killing some. Naruto turns around in time to block a thrust by Orm. Naruto starts to tire and a luck shot hits him in the left leg and left arm causing him to drop his sword and kneel on the ground. Orm smirks thinking that victory is at hand. "You lose boy. I will finish you off." He said as two soldiers grab Naruto by the arms and host him up. Orm takes aim with the trident "I think I will torture you before killing you. The voltage on the trident will hurt you nervous system but you will live until I kill you." stated Orm.
Naruto smiles "get on with it or you will die, you already incurred the death penalty cheating during the ritual." said Naruto.
Orm narrows his eyes "then I will kill now. You've earned some of my respect for your bravery. But now it ends." stated Orm.
Just as Orm was about to execute Naruto when he drops his trident. Next one of the soldiers is thrown back by a punch. Naruto sees the chance and hits the other one in his chest with his right elbow. Naruto stumbles but is caught by John "you look like crap Naruto." said Lantern.
Naruto smiles weakly "I have had worse injuries but my left leg and left arm is paralyzed for the moment." said Naruto. John nods his head "how long will it take to mobility back?" he asked. Naruto flex his fingers "I am starting to get feeling back in my finger give me five minutes can you hold them off for that long?" asked Naruto.
Wonder Women takes out an Atlantian water ski but save the soldiers. Superman takes out a handful of foot soldiers. Batman is fighting an Atlantian Officer on his ski. The three guards are holding the reinforcements back.
Five minutes later
Batman just knocked the officer out. One of guards is down and the other two is covering him. Just as one of the soldiers takes a shot at the down guard he is killed with a twisted neck. Behind him you see the captain with a sword on his back as he being to fight to get to his men. Naruto gets up after getting back some movement and being to join in the battle along with John
In the fortress Aquaman is fighting his brother on an icy bride over a gorge. Orm who has a trident tries to stab Aquaman repeatedly but Aqua man has proven to be a superior fighter and manages to knock the weapon out of his brother hands. Aquaman grabs the trident and point it at Orm "surrender and you won't be killed." stated Aquaman.
Orm sees the short sword that Naruto dropped and grabs it then lunges at Aquaman. Aquaman sidesteps Orm and knocks him of the bridge to his death. Aquaman shakes his head and grab the blade and walks out. The rest of Orm men are rounded up and taken prisoner.
Back in Atlantis Aquaman is sitting on his throne with his wife in a chair next to him with their son and the captain and Naruto on opposite sides of the two. The rest of the justice League stood of to the side ready to act should it be necessary. The generals that turned against the crown are in front of him Aquaman "explain yourselves and it better give me a reason not to kill you for treason," said Aquaman with a glare.
The generals shook in their places "Orm captured are families and to be honest we were only following orders." Said one of the general.
Aquaman blood boiled "take them away" he said calmly but inside he was seething with anger at the spineless cowards. Aquaman looked at his wife and son in the chair next to him. We lost a lot of men most of them traitors but they were Atlantian soldiers" said Aquaman to his wife. The wife nod "yes but we are stronger for it; because we endure the hardships." She said smiling.
