"So, do either of you guys have a plan?" panted Naruto, his body trembling from the sheer effort it was taking to stand up at this point. He was beaten and battered to the point that Kurama couldn't keep up with the damage and heal him.
His chakra pool was dangerously slow, his left arm was burnt with bubbling blisters which oozing brown puss. His normal orange and black jacket was gone, leaving only tattered remains of his black undershirt. His orange pants were ripped at the knees, the left pant leg tear rose up a little higher to his thigh.
His headband that proudly showed that he was with Konoha was long gone sadly, leaving his spiky locks to fall forward onto his forward. Blood caked the normally sun kissed blond hair.
It did a good job of covering his left eye or rather his left eye socket, the eye been destroyed when Madara had caught him off guard. The fight with the revived Uchiha had managed to take everything that not only Naruto but also Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi.
Poor Kakashi, he was the reason that they had managed to take down the legendary Uchiha, which brought them to their current situation.
Madara's body was destroyed, leaving nothing but his head. But that was more than enough, he was regenerating slowly, but one of the three of them present in the pocket dimension between their home land and several others were making sure to keep cutting off anything that grew from the base of the head.
"I might have one" said Sasuke from his place on the ground, he was the most damaged of them outside of Kakashi. He was missing his entire left arm, the limb sliced off at the shoulder. There was a series of gashes of that covered his torso and Sakura didn't have the chakra needed to heal him, not that it mattered with the amount of blood that he had lost already. Unlike Naruto whose pants were ripped, Sasuke was missing chunks of skin along his legs, the bone showing in several places.
Sakura was the best of them, her clothes were ruined but she was in good shape as she had used Ninpō Sōzō Saisei: Byakugō no Jutsu. The diamond that had once been on her forehead was gone and her body was withering as she was unable to deal with the extreme cellular regeneration that she went through. She would be find with some rest, but this was neither the time nor place for it.
"I'm all ears, Sasuke" said Sakura and Naruto nodded tiredly in agreement.
"Listen, I know this is it for me, I am not leaving this place alive. If not from my wounds, the chakra burns on my chakra coils will do me in sooner than later. Madara is too big of a threat to be left alive, so I am the only one who can do this, one final act to make things right. I am going to use my Amaterasu on myself and him, taking both of us from this world, allowing everyone to live in peace" said Sasuke with an air of certainty.
"Are you sure?" asked Naruto, "There has to be another way Sasuke"
"There isn't Naruto" said Sakura as her hand glowed green as she managed to diagnosis Sasuke, "He has probably 24 to 36 hours before his body will be unable to provide chakra to his organs and he painfully goes through a prolonged death"
Tears had filled and started falling from her eyes as she informed Naruto of Sasuke's fate. Naruto felt the air leave his lungs and he found himself to find words to speak on the situation.
"Listen loser, this is my choice. The Uchiha have been causing terror throughout the land for years, let me who is the last Uchiha make things right. I will not live no matter what, let me sacrifice myself for the rest of the world" said Sasuke
Naruto nodded and Sakura wheezed as she sobbed, this was it for Team 7. Kakashi had already sacrificed himself to save them, now Sasuke was going to do the same thing.
"Naruto, your eye is missing, but your future is bright. I would love to see it, Sixth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki" chuckled Sasuke as his body shook, "I'm not going to be there but you can use my eye so that I can be there with you"
"You'd give me your eye?" asked Naruto
"I only need one eye to complete my plan, you need two eyes to make the world a better place" answered Sasuke.
"I can do the transplant" said Sakura, "We might need about 2 to 3 hours for me too recoup the chakra to do it but I can do it"
"Thank you" said Sasuke
Silence filled their void and Naruto walked over to the dead form of Kakashi and lifted him with some effort. He brought him over to their small circle and said "We bring Kakashi's body back with us, he's a hero and deserves to be buried with his friends and family"
No more words were spoken among them, it wasn't needed after everything that they had been through. Sakura started to regain her more youthful look as her chakra levels returned back to normal and Naruto hissed as the wounds on his body were still not healing.
Kurama was just as spent as the rest of them, the difference is that Naruto hadn't needed to heal all three of them multiple times during the fight as well as Kakashi during the fight against Madara.
Sakura tapped him on the shoulder when it was time for the operation, she didn't trust her voice at the moment and Naruto didn't blame her either. He didn't really trust his voice either as they approached Sasuke.
He didn't say anything but he nodded as Sakura approached him and knelt on his left side. Her hand glowed with her medical jutsu and Sasuke smiled as he felt the calming feeling of her chakra wash over the left side of his face.
"I trust you" whispered Sasuke as Sakura put her hand over his left eye and he felt his face grow numb before a suction cup sensation covered his left eye and the left half of his vision went black.
Sakura moved over to Naruto and Naruto felt her pry his left eye lids open and she carefully placed the eye in her other hand into the socket before her chakra flowed the eye socket as she used her chakra to do what she had done over a thousands times before, guiding the eye into the proper place, connecting nerves and chakra coils to the back end of the eye.
Naruto hissed in pain as he felt the sharingan flare up and eat at his chakra immediately and the world was too bright on his left side of his vision.
Sakura immediately ripped her pink headband off the top of her head and tied it around Naruto's head, tilted to cover his left eye.
"It needs to about 2 to 3 days to fully heal, but it was successful" said Sakura
Naruto nodded and Sakura channeled her chakra into Kakashi's Sharingan and pulled it out before implanting it into Sasuke's face, replacing his eye.
"This is it" said Naruto as Sasuke started to channel chakra into his eyes.
"Goodbye, I wish I could have gone with you guys, but this is it" said Sasuke as he opened his eyes and a portal opened up.
Sakura lifted Kakashi onto her shoulders and Naruto and Sakura approached the portal and Sasuke's body erupted in black flames.
Sakura and Naruto went to walk through the portal when Madara's eyes opened to real his Rinnegan eyes and he absorbed the chakra of the black flames and shouted "Shinra Tensei"
Naruto was blasted backwards and watched in horror as the portal that would take them home ripped and consumed Sakura and Kakashi's body before he was consumed by one of the fractured portals.
He felt the wind flapping his face, his lone uncovered eye teared up as the wind was too harsh for him to handle. He was falling, why was he falling?
Brat, what are you doing? Do something
Hearing Kurama pleading with him caused Naruto to snap out of it as he quickly thought of a plan to survive his fall.
The ground got closer and Naruto saw that it was some kind of stone ground, but he avoided going splat on the ground by summoning a shadow clone and stepping off it's back to come to a stop about 6 feet above the ground.
The clone dispelled itself and Naruto dropped to ground casually, nobody even looked at him weirdly, there was people clapping at him but did not shoot him any weird looks.
This is clearly not Konoha
Naruto found himself making the same assessment, this place was not Konoha. Konoha didn't have these tall towering buildings that were covered in glass, nor did they have moving metal carts or such strangely dressed people.
Where did Madara Uchiha send us is the first thing you need to figure out
Naruto again found himself agreeing with his inner tenant
I did not give you my eye for you to get lost somewhere
Naruto stiffened as he heard the voice in the back of his head.
Making his way over to what looked like a bench, Naruto sat down and he drifted into the back of his own mind, ignoring the cold snow that was starting to fall from the sky
Standing in the ankle deep water sewer that was his mindscape, Naruto found himself looking at the large gates that were no longer locked, Kurama was still laying down behind them. He could leave whenever he wanted, but he chose to stay within Naruto.
Naruto looked around, whirling around in a circle before he found the fully healthy form of Sasuke Uchiha standing behind him.
"Long time no see" joked Sasuke
"What are you doing here?" asked Naruto
"I left my chakra imprinted in my eye and Kurama here was nice enough to keep it sustained with his own chakra pool. Someone has to teach you how to use that eye and who better than me?" said Sasuke
Naruto felt tears well up in his eyes, but he wiped them away before they could fall causing Sasuke to scoff at him.
"Don't go crying on me now" said Sasuke as he activated his own Sharingan eyes and looked at Naruto, "Now let's get you started"
6 Month Later: New York City
Naruto had apparently landed in a magical land called New York City aka The Big Apple, the Empire City, the City that Never Sleeps, and a bunch of other nicknames.
It really should have been called the city that badly needs to be washed, it was disgustingly filthy all the time. Rats and roaches filled the subways as did Homeless people's urine and a metric ton of literal litter.
And where the city wasn't beyond dirty, it was overpopulated. The Boroughs of Queens and Manhattan were packed beyond anything Naruto had ever seen, it now made sense why they build their buildings toward the sky, there was no fucking space for anything to be built sideways. Konoha had been so much free flowing and spread out when it had been built, but the large square building were all tightly packed together, which made it easier for him to get around in the night.
And the third thing that Naruto had learned was how fucking expensive living in this dirty overfilled with people city was. 2000 dollars for a fucking closet? 4000 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment worth actually living in? This was robbery and Naruto would know seeing as he was an expert on robbing people.
But the very last and most important thing that Naruto had learned about this place was that there were people like him. Well not like Naruto, Naruto was a shinobi by birth, but there was people with abilities or superpowers as the locals called it.
These people with superpowers were called Superheros and went around the world saving people, that was the kind of business that Naruto honestly could get into. It was the most similar thing that Naruto had been able to find work wise in this world, well that and his current job of being a body guard.
Which led to Naruto of course becoming a part time hero late a night, patrolling the streets of New York City where there was a shit ton of crime despite the fact that "The 7" and their Vought Tower were also based in New York City.
With Sasuke's instructions, Naruto had mastered the Sharingan over the last 6 months and Naruto was a little taken back by how much easier life was with this type of ability. No, like serious what the actual fuck was having a Sharingan? As Naruto learned, the Sharingan would copy anything and basically download that information into your brain and not just jutsu like he had always thought. Naruto had managed to learn the local language called English in a matter of weeks, the entire language had had been absorbed by his left eye and he just understood it.
His ability to read and write it had also been given to him by the eye and it's ability to copy things, allowing Naruto to make his way through the city, picking up odd jobs and muscle gigs with ease.
But what Naruto really wanted to do was what he was currently doing not, auditioning for the Vought America.
Madelyn Stillwell was a very attractive middle aged woman, short shoulder length dirty blonde hair, sharp green eyes, a slender well kept figure, all wrapped up in a simple gray power suit.
She was joined by her pale red haired assistant Ashley, who was wearing a plain black dress that went all the down to the middle of her calves.
But Naruto was unconcerned with her, no Stillwell had all of his attention and he could tell that she was looking at him with an air of interest and attentiveness that she wasn't giving off, no she was playing things coy but Naruto with the Sharingan was no an expert on body language as well.
"So, tell me Mr. Uzumaki, what makes you think that you can be an asset for Vought?" asked Ms. Stillwell
Naruto gave a confident natural smile, the kind that made most of the women he met in his day to day life blush, and said "I think that we have a common goal, saving as many people as possible"
"Oh, have you been doing some local hero work?" asked Ashley
"Yes, I am the local shadow spider that the papers keep talking about, I mostly stop muggings, rape attempts, and things like that around New York City" confirmed Naruto
"Shadow Spider, I have heard of you, but usually you're only accompanied by a flash of yellow before you zip off after saving someone, why not stick around and take credit?" question Stillwell
"Because it's not really about credit for me, it is about saving people" replied Naruto with a confused look on his face, "Who cares about taking credit if you aren't getting the job done. Besides stopping muggings and sexual assault doesn't need to be all that public, the victims deserve their privacy"
"So naive" chuckled Stillwell, "Tell me, how many social media followers do you currently have?"
"I'm not on social media" replied Naruto, "Should I be?"
Stillwell licked her lips as if Naruto had just placed the most delicious bowl of ramen in front of her and shook her head.
She leaned into her assistant Ashley's ear and whispered something that Naruto wasn't meant to hear, but he enhanced hearing manged to pick up anyway.
"This kid is fucking gold, he's attractive, young, naive. If his body is anything like Homelander's underneath that baggy hoodie, he's gonna have the sex appeal of Zac Efron in his prime"
Naruto kept his face straight but internally was raising some red flags, what was she talking about?
Stillwell pulled back and said "Okay, so what type of powers do you have?"
"I have super strength that I can dial up in different levels, but in my base state I can lift a car. I have super speed, I can sense life energy, I have some healing abilities, I can create clones and when all else fails, I can go scorched earth"
Stillwell was listing off his powers and stopped when he got to the last one, her face twisting in confusion.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked Naruto
"I can't really show you in this room, but maybe if you have a place where you can explain why nothing will grow there ever again, I might be able to show you what it looks like" answered Naruto
"I like you Naruto Uzumaki, you're exactly what we are looking for at this time, if you choose to accept our offer" said Stillwell
"So this is it? I'm part of the 7?" asked Naruto
Stillwell giggled "No, you don't have the metrics or track record on a nation scale to be part of the 7, but you are good enough to join our Young Americans team. You said you're currently 18 and a half years old, meaning that you've been doing this for probably 3 to 5 years at this point. But before you can play with the big boys, you have to learn how to handle yourself, work as part of a team, follow instructions lead a team, the proper protocols for apprehending criminals"
Naruto frowned, he had no idea that this much work went into being a superhero, but he was in it for the long haul at this point.
"Ok, I will do whatever I need to do to make sure that I can be the best hero possible, I want to be someone worthy of joining the 7" exclaimed Naruto
"Excellent" said Stillwell, "Ashley go get the paper work for Mr. Uzumaki here"
6 months later: Vought Tower
Naruto hated these types of events and every knew it at this point. The last six months of his life had been spent building up his brand as Stillwater had called it. It was a bunch of bullshit as far as Naruto was concerned, but it also strangely made a lot of sense to him.
If the world didn't know about him? Know what he could do? Why the fuck would they trust him to save them?
Thus, this brought him to the Vought Tower Christmas party where he was supposed to suck up to Senators and investors. It was much like sugar coating things for civilian clients back in his world but with worse clothes.
Naruto at least wished his team could have been here, Starlight was really nice in his opinion, even if she could do better than Supersonic. But then again Naruto wasn't one to talk, he had pined over a girl who would physically abuse him.
Dressed in a black suit with a burnt orange tie over his white shirt, shiny black dress shoes, and Sakura's pink headband still tied in a manner to cover his left eye, Naruto was FUCKING BORED!
Stuck in this 'party', Naruto was mindless nodding along to the Senator of Ohio talk about how much he appreciated Naruto's help during a blizzard when Stillwell tapped the man on the shoulder and asked if she could steal him for a moment.
Naruto was thankful for the chance to leave the conversation and walked away with her.
"You looked like you could use some saving" commented Stillwell
"More like a bullet through my head" said Naruto darkly
"I didn't think bullets could hurt you" replied Stillwell
"I'm tempted to try" said Naruto
"Oh don't be like that" said Stillwell, her hand rubbing small circles on his back, dipping lower and lower with each revolution completed.
"What is the real reason you pulled me from that conversation?" asked Naruto as he ignored her familiar touching of his body as she leaned in closer to his body, feeling the powerful muscular figure hidden under the suit.
"Maybe I wanted to dig my teeth into that body of yours" she whispered his ear before she pulled back
"Like the star spangled boy scout would allow that to happen" dismissed Naruto
"He's not in charge of me or you" said Stillwell, "If I want to rock your world, it's my decision not his. I'm not dating Homelander"
Naruto internally hissed at the mention of the man.
Homelander was something else, he was filled with so much anger and darkness that he made Orochimaru look like a new born puppy, but the man did no wrong. Every single chance Naruto got to work with the man, he saved everyone and did everything by the book.
It was a little too perfect, but Naruto was starting to think that the reason that he could feel all that negative energy flowing off of the man was because repressed any and all evil in his body.
"Before we get to that, I do have to introduce you to someone" said Stillwell as she tugged on his elbow, leading him through the party until she stopped in front of a pretty brunette woman.
"This is the one of the managers of our social media department, she is going to help you with getting your online presence to the next level" said Stillwell before she tugged on Naruto's arm again instead of letting him actually meet the lady.
"My name is Rebecca Butcher, I guess I'll see you later" said the lady as Naruto shot her a look that said this wasn't his idea.
"Formal introductions can happen later" said Stillwell as she pulled from the ballroom of the tower and into the elevator, her hands gripped the back of his head by the hair and she pulled him down towards her, her lips finding his.
It all happened in a blur, they were kissing in the elevator, then they were off of it and she was pulling him into her office, then she was tugging down his pants and underwear. She swallowed his entire member, then she rode his face roughly, then he bent her over the desk and gave her what she needed not once, but twice.
When he finally came back to his senses, Naruto was already fixing his suit in the bathroom when the door opened and still in his gear, in walked Homelander.
The slicked back blond hair, the icy blue eyes, the strong jaw line. John Homelander was definitely an objectively attractive man, but right not he looked rather annoyed with Naruto.
"Having fun there buddy?" asked the star of Vought
"Honestly yes" replied Naruto
Our blond shinobi hero could feel the shift in the air as he gave his answer and he immediately knew that he had picked the wrong answer.
"Oh really" said Homelander as he fiddled with his gloves, looking down at his red material covered hands. It was a sad attempt to look meek when Naruto knew this man could lift a NYC bus with ease. To be fair, so could Naruto but he wasn't showing off that level of strength just yet.
"I'm sorry if I've offended you in some manner Homelander, but we're on the same side here. I want to save people like like you do man. Shit, you're the reason that I even became a hero" admitted Naruto
Homelander's face flashed with actual glee for a split second before his politician smile appeared on his face, the kind that stretched the mouth too far and left the eyes dead and cold.
"I appreciate you saying that, from one hero to another" said Homelander as he clasped Naruto by the shoulder and Naruto felt him squeeze until the bone was trembling under his grasp.
"I like you kid, you are doing things the right way, but if you ever so much as even look at Stillwell again in a unprofessional manner, you're going to have to fight me" said Homelander
"Woah woah big guy, that was completely consensual, you can ask her that" said Naruto
"Oh I know, but she's mine" hissed Homelander as his grip tightened even more and Naruto was sure that his collarbone would have broken if he hadn't bother to enhance it with Chakra in time.
What was one pissed off Tsunade level strength felt like a pissed off civilian from when he was a kid. The grip was still too strong for him to break, but wasn't bone shattering anymore.
Naruto's eyes widen and he nodded "I had no idea that you two were together like that, she came on to me and I figured that she was fair game. I could have sworn that you were dating Maeve but I am really sorry"
Homelander plastered a smile on his face and slapped Naruto lightly on the arm after releasing him.
"Kid, the thing between Maeve and I is strictly for the cameras" said Homelander as he walked over to a sink and turned on the water, gathering a small amount in his gloved hands before splashing it on his face and using it to push his hair back, "What you'll learn is that people like me and Black Noir are real heroes who save as many people as we can. Unfortunately, there isn't enough drama if you just swoop in and save people. So to bring in more money for not only us, but to fund teams like your Young Americans and such, we have to give the world what it wants. Play it up for the crowd, perform a little showmanship as they say"
Naruto was listening to every word that Homelander spoke, his interest into the behind the scenes things keeping hanging onto his every word.
"The movies, the tv shows, the interviews, the action figures, and all the other stuff is just add additional revenue that allow us to keep this tower, donate to charity, do food drives, support families" said Homelander as he stopped at the door on the verge of leaving the bathroom, "You're the next one up Hokage, don't let us ... don't let me down"
Naruto felt a shiver travel down his spine at hearing that last line and he knew for sure that he didn't want to fight Homelander.
But then again, Homelander said that he was next in line to join the 7, maybe he wasn't all that bad.
A/N: Okay so I fucking love the Boys tv show and the comics, I fucking love Naruto and he is probably one of most versatile characters in fanfiction history.
Therefore you get this story, Naruto post war against Madara with a Sharingan in his left eye, Sasuke and Kurama in his head. Oh and just fucked Stillwell and put a target painted by Homelander on his back.
Fireworks are going to come.
