Chapter 2:
Naruto had spent the rest of the morning hanging out with Barry and Iris until it was late afternoon with them showing him around the city and what there was to see. He enjoyed his time with them and liked hanging out with them. He was now at their house talking as it was 6:00 in the evening as they were watching a movie when they heard the door open and close and walked in was Iris's father from what Naruto learned about the man. He looked to be about Tsunade's age. He had the same dark skin as Iris, along with the same hair and eye color. He was wearing a a white long sleeve shirt with a black jacket with black slacks and brown shoes. His name was Joe West and he is a detective for the Central City Police Department.
"Hey kids, I'm home." Joe called out.
"We're in the living room, dad." Iris said.
He walked in and saw Naruto sitting with them, but had no idea who he was, having never seen him before.
"And who are you young man?" He asked politely as he held his hand out.
"I'm Naruto Uchiha. We're your new neighbors." He greeted back shaking his hand, with Joe thinking, "He has a firm grip." He thought to himself.
"Ahh so that's what I was hearing this morning when I left for work. Welcome to Central City. I take it Iris and Barry have shown you around a little?" Joe asked.
"They sure have. They showed me some of the better places that I could check out at a later date. I'll be going to high school with them starting on Monday, so I look forward to it." Naruto said with a smile.
"Likewise. Are your parents at home right?" Joe asked.
"My mom's at home with my Godmother and her student. Don't have a father." He said, with slight venom making them look at him wonder, but would ask about it at a later date.
"Why don't you bring them over and we can have some pizza? Would that be alright?" Barry asked, looking at Joe.
"I don't see why not. May as well use this chance to get to know the neighbors." Joe shrugged, had a slight smile seeing Barry make friends other than just Iris.
"I'll go let them know." Naruto said as he left, leaving the family of three.
"I like him. He seems pretty cool and doesn't care what others think." Iris said with a slight smile and blush, something Joe caught and inwardly frowned at his baby girl liking a boy while Barry rolled his eyes, but had a smirk on his face.
"He's pretty cool. I'm just glad he isn't a douche-bag." Barry said, when iris smacked him in the back of the head.
"No need for that language, but yes I do agree. Though, he does have an odd name and that isn't something Japan goes for names nowadays. Strange?" Iris questioned with a twinkle in her eye.
"He sounds like a good kid. I'm sure that the rest of his family is as well. I'll call for some pizza." Joe said, as he grabbed his phone and placed an order.
Naruto would return with Mikoto, Tsunade, and Shizune and they got along really well as the four former Shinobi's were amazed at pizza, never having anything like it before. Iris and Shizune seemed to have clicked immediately as they laughed and joked throughout the night. Mikoto and Tsunade talked to Joe about many things including what they are into and what they like. Tsunade wants to open a clinic since she used to work in the medicine field along with Shizune as her assistant. Mikoto wants to be a teacher.
Iris and Barry told Naruto about the highschool they went to and the different people to watch out for. They spent the evening playing games, learning things about each other and overall it was a great night. After a few hours they decided to head home for the night and that Naruto would meet up with them tomorrow to continue showing him around. Now, Naruto was in his room having gotten ready for bed as he felt now he needed to meet with a certain fox now, wanting to talk to him. He closed his eyes as he concentrated until he felt his mind feel a pull.
Mindscape
Naruto opened his eyes to find himself in his mind, but it had a large open forest that seemed to go on for miles on end. He walked a ways through it until he saw a nice traditional Japanese home that was one story. As he got closer, he could see different animals there, especially foxes lingering around it, when a man who looked to be in his twenties was playing with the animals and smirked at him, making him raise an eyebrow.
"Hello Naruto." He said, going wide eyed at the realization.
"Kyuubi-sama? You know me?" Naruto asked, confusing him on the suffix, having not expected that from him or any human for that matter.
"Of course I know you, I overheard what had happened with your former parents and what they had done to you along with how you sealed me in yourself which I am thankful for as they tried using me to force my chakra out on your sister. The sad thing is that was all they focused on after they had taught her some chakra control exercises." He smiled at him, which he returned with his own. "Also I know you won't use me like they did or tried to do. There's no need to call me such a name seeing as Kyuubi is just a title. Call me Kurama as that is my name." He said, making him nod.
"I figured and I'm glad I can call you by name now and I promise to not lose your trust and I'd like for us to work together." He said, when he thought of something. "I hope you don't mind me being an Uchiha now since I'm no longer a Namikaze?" He asked with worry.
He expected him to react badly having not had good experiences with Uchiha's, but was surprised when he laughed, confusing him.
"Of course I'm fine with it. Mikoto was one of the only Uchiha's I liked and now that you're her son by blood, I like you even more." He smirked at him.
"Thank you for your kind words. I'll be sure to let mom know that you like her." He said.
"Be sure too. I'd like to meet with her at some point." He said, getting a nod from him.
"I'll be sure to let her know. What do you think of the new life we're going to be living in this new world?" He asked.
"I'm looking forward to it, no one to hunt us down or anyone who could use me ever again. I can't wait to see what the future will hold for us here. I will say this though, that Iris girl and Shizune are quite cute and would make good mates for you.~" He teased, making him blush at her words, which she giggled at his reaction.
"S-shut up. It's not like that. I just met Iris and Shizune is a great friend." He shook his head, denying it.
"Oh sure. Anyway, you should get out of here for now and get some sleep. We'll talk about learning to use my chakra more tomorrow." He said.
He nodded at this as his form disappeared from view and so he went inside of his home.
Line Break
Naruto was with Barry and Iris as they made it to the highschool as Naruto was to go to the principal's office to get his class schedule.
"Alright. I'll show you where the office is since I have a free period right now and then I can start showing you around the school and where your classes will be." Iris said, getting a grateful look from him.
"Just make sure to watch out for kids that will try to bully you to show who's the "top dog" of the school." Barry told him, missing the smirk on Naruto.
"Will do, but I wouldn't worry about bullies. They'll be in for a surprise if they try anything." Naruto said, waving off his worry as Barry left for his class as Iris lead him to the principal's office.
It didn't take long for them to get there with Iris leading the way along with getting his new schedule. Taking a quick look at it, his first class would be Algebra II, 2nd hour would be English II, then Biology II, Cooking, Choir, then lunch, Geography, and lastly Computers.
"What's your schedule like?" Iris asked as they walked through the halls.
"Take a look." He handed it to her.
"Let's see, we have English, Biology, and Geography together, so that's good. Should be interesting to have a friend in class with me." She smiled at this.
"Awesome. It'll be nice to have a familiar face to help with things." He smiled back.
"We should hurry, so you don't miss too much." He nodded at her as they headed to where his first class would be at. They made it and they looked at it awkwardly, not knowing what to do now.
"Well, thanks for showing me around and helping me get to class and other things." He said, awkwardly, making her chuckle.
"It was no problem. Good luck," She waved at him, as she left to go do whatever it was he didn't know as he exhaled before entering his first class since the Shinobi Academy.

Central City 2007
It's been two years since Naruto entered highschool with Iris and Barry and like they said, some jockeys tries to show Naruto who was "top dog", but ended up in the nurse's office with minor injuries, but they knew not to mess with him or his friends if they didn't want their asses kicked again. School came easy for him as he was not only incredibly smart, but also had shadow clones to help with the process until Barry and Iris caught him studying in his living room when they saw more than one Naruto which brought on a whole new conversation.
*Flashback*
Naruto was watching some tv in his living room when Barry and Iris walked into his house having been expecting them as they joined him on the couch.
"You said you guys needed some help, but never said what, so what can I do for you?" Naruto asked his two best friends.
"We want to learn how to fight and you're the best person who can teach us." Iris said.
"And you're also our best friend, so it makes things easier since we know you already." Barry added, getting a nod from him.
"I'd be happy to help. By the time I'm done with you guys, you'll be able to handle most people." He grinned, making them slightly nervous.
"Do you mind if I get something to drink in the kitchen?" Iris asked.
"Sure, go ahead." Naruto said without thinking.
Iris went to the kitchen to get some water, but it wasn't long before she screamed, getting their attention as Naruto and Barry went to the kitchen to see… another Naruto who had been working on College Algebra, but was now doing his best impression of a fish having been caught.
"What? How are? What's going on?" Barry asked, looking at Naruto, then the clone.
"Ahh shit." Naruto cursed, getting his friends' attention.
"What is this?" Iris found her voice looking at him suspiciously.
"It. Well. You see." He sighed knowing he'd have some explaining to do.
"Dude what is going on?" Barry asked him, with more excitement and curiosity than mad.
"That's a whole lot to explain. Let me call mom, Tsunade, and Shizune since they can help answer questions." Naruto said, pulling out his phone to text them.
"Can they do this too?" Barry asked, his eyes getting the size of dinner plates when he nodded.
"If you can hold off your questions for half an hour, they'll be here to help explain things since it's a long story. Just please wait a little longer. You may want to call your dad too, he'll want to be here for this as well." Naruto said, seeing Iris look at him, that put him on edge.
"Okay." She said, texting Joe to head over to Naruto's place in half an hour.
"In the meantime, you will explain what exactly that clone is." Iris pointed at the clone as it decided to leave before she did something to it, disappearing in a poof of smoke, leaving Naruto alone with his two friends.
And he did as told and he hadn't felt so intimidated since the time his mother Mikoto threatened him that if he didn't take a break from training then she'd make sure he'd never be able to walk again and somehow Iris had been able to pull off that stare of hers. .
It was a fifteen minute explanation when he was finished and by that point, everyone else had shown up and the sight they came upon was comical, iris looked as if she just berated Naruto about something stupid he did and Naruto was in a corner sulking about unfair friends and that what she did wasn't nice.
"Okay so what's going on and why does it look like Naruto just got through a talk with Iris?" Joe asked Barry who responded with a nod.
"I can explain. Naruto told me what happened with them, so I'll explain everything." Mikoto said as everyone looked to her for the explanation.
And she told them everything, with how they're from a different reality altogether that was nothing like Earth. How they used an energy source called Chakra, how they left their world to start over and to live a new life. They explained how they have what are called Tailed Beasts which are just constructs of chakra given sentient form with Naruto having one sealed inside of him. The feats that are possible with chakra along with what they're each capable of, especially with Naruto's two Dojutsu. It took an hour to finish their explanation and they had skeptical and awed looks on their faces.
"That's crazy! I'm not sure what to believe if what you're saying is true, but is there any way to prove what you're saying is the truth?" Joe asked, skeptical of the whole thing as it sounded crazy to him.
"We can. Naruto." Tsunade said with a knowing look.
"You got it." Naruto crossed his fingers before a poof of smoke appeared in the room making the three cough into it. Joe was shocked to see another Naruto standing right next to him and he looked identical to him, despite Barry and Iris having seen it already and still were amazed.
"This is that Shadow Clone thing you told us about earlier right?" Barry asked, getting a nod.
"Yep. They're incredibly special since when they dispel like you saw earlier, the memories that they experience goes back to me." He said, when he saw Joe looking at him with wide eyes before he started grumbling about unfairness.
"I have so many questions, but the one that's bothering me is why did you leave your home?" Iris asked unknowingly, hitting a sore spot for him, making him frown at the thought of his former family.
"Why don't I tell you about the different clans and what each was capable of?" Naruto avoided the question, making the three look at him confused while Mikoto, Tsunade, and Shizune look at him with concern, but with frowns as well knowing what happened, especially Mikoto.
The rest of the night was spent with Barry and Iris asking loads of questions especially about his former village and the different clans. When they learned how each clan had special abilities, they were excited to learn about them and when they heard how the Uchiha was a clan they became even more curious about them and when they learned how they had special eyes, Iris wanted to see them and so Naruto showed his matured Sharingan and they were amazed with them.
She asked about the village's history and some of the laws with one of them that Mikoto brought up was when a clan was near extinction the last male would need to take a few wives to help rebuild the clan to keep it from dying out which made both Barry and Iris blush at the meaning, but Iris looked at Naruto with suspicion until he said, he didn't like the law itself and he'd only marry if he loved the women and if she felt the same which settled her mind, but wasn't sure how to feel about that. Naruto was just glad that they left the topic quickly and could talk about other things in the EN.
*End Flashback*
He went through many questions that they would have over time and he did his best to answer, but Iris tried to ask more about why he left, but would change the subject until she gave up on asking at least until he felt like he could tell them which he would when he was ready.
Tsunade was able to open her own clinic and had Shizune work as her assistant. They were growing slowly and getting their names out there as the best doctors/nurses. Mikoto worked on his bachelors in Applied Mathematics, since she wanted to teach and had opened a small martial arts dojo ,so she could teach kids to defend themselves.
They had gotten much closer to the West family since that night and it was great for Naruto to have some friends. With Barry, they were best friends and would hang out and talk about different things. When Barry felt comfortable enough, he told her about his mother's murder with his father having gone to prison for it despite not killing her. When he told him about that night and what he saw which sounded impossible. He expected Naruto to laugh at him and to call him crazy, but he told him that he believed him and would help him find the truth to get his father out. Joe had become a father figure to him and taught him how to drive and would give advice about anything when he needed it.
Naruto had just graduated from highschool and was excited to be done with it, so he could move on to college. He was looking forward to the new experiences as he had several degrees he wanted to acquire which meant for him to move away from home. When he mentioned the idea to his mom, she had refused at first and tried convincing him that he could study here in Central City, but after some convincing and promises to keep in touch, she relented and allowed him to leave town for college. Not like it'd be an issue anyway, since he had his Hiraishin, he could teleport back and forth which she was glad he knew as his friends would want to see him as well.
Speaking of his friends, Barry had graduated early a year ago leaving just Naruto and Iris left in highschool. With Iris, they spent a lot of time when Barry left for college and they got extremely close where they were nearly inseparable. They had even started dating about two months after Barry graduated, but it lasted until a month before graduation.
Now Naruto packing his things to leave for his new start, he'd been accepted into MIT which was perfect for his Computer Science and Physics majors. Most of his stuff was in a couple suitcases, but had other things sealed in storage scrolls that were in a bag. He was now wearing a black t-shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the front shoulder that had white stripes on the sleeves, white jeans with black Nike shoes. He had a dark gray jacket with the Uzumaki clan Symbol on the back. He grabbed his things and vanished and reappeared near the front door where he could see Mikoto waiting and she had tears in her eyes.
"It'll be alright mom. It's not like it'll be forever." He hugged her, she clung to him and she cried silently, putting her face into the crook of his neck.
"I know, but my baby boy is growing up and I won't see you as much anymore, so this is hard for me." She sniffled, but had a proud smile.
"I love you." He said, making her cry more, but had a loving and proud smile on her face.
"I love you sweetie. I am so proud of you and know you will make me proud in MIT, show them what an Uchiha and Uzumaki can do." She said, making him nod.
He pulled away and noticed that Tsunade and Shizune weren't here, making him wonder where they were. Mikoto saw the look and giggled.
" They got held up at the clinic, so they'll miss seeing you off, but told me to tell you that they'll miss you and that they love you." He nodded. "Are you nervous?" She asked.
"A little bit, but I think I'll do alright for myself. Hopefully these classes can give me a challenge." He smirked with a little arrogance, when his mom smacked him in the back of the head.
"None of the arrogance, son. You should know better to think like that." She smirked, seeing him grumble knowing that she could keep him in line. "So, what about you and Iris? I like her and you two looked so good together. Oh just imagine the grandbabies and how cute they'd be." She gushed with a smile. Naruto saw his mom go into her own world and sighed, but had a smile on his face.
"I don't know. I'd like to see us get back together too, but it depends on her really." He said in thought. "And it's too soon to be thinking of having kids!" He shouted with a blush.
"Oh she'll figure it out in no time at all. After all, she's a smart girl and she has me to talk to whenever she needs a girl to talk too." Mikoto said as if she knew it would be solved.
"Alright alright. I'm not gonna try to say anything since you're most likely right, as you are most of the time." He said, seeing her smirk at him with a slight grin.
"A mother knows best after all." She said smugly.
"Alright, well I better get going, so I'm not late for classes." He said, with her nodding knowing how true it was.
"Be careful and be safe." She said as they hugged again before he got in his car which was a white 2006 Honda Civic that he'd bought with Iris's and Joe's help since they had more knowledge about vehicles than he did.
"I'll call you when I get there okay?" He asked, seeing her nod made him smile. He kissed her cheek and got in his car and took off, leaving a sad, yet proud mother at the house. She'd miss him so much and hoped he would do his best.

Central City 2014
Central City was very active and with a lot going on and there was a reason for the excitement going on. Star Labs was going to be turning on their Particle Accelerator. He promised he'd go with his best friends and he wasn't going to break that promise. After all, it'll be the first time in a long time that they'd hung out together. Right now, he was working on his second book that he started writing a year ago when he graduated with his bachelors in Creative Writing and English Literature. The book was going to be about the Kiri Civil War and his part in it and he was excited to get it published, having had his first book be a huge success having published books in several cities. He also had started a new degree for his bachelor's in Engineering which he would be able to breeze through since he had a lot more time on his hands now with other degrees being done. It's all been online, since he didn't want to leave Central City again. He hadn't seen Barry so excited and it was funny to see, but he was looking forward to it as well. This would be a life changing event. So right now, he was wearing a blue shirt, black hoodie jacket with the Uchiha crest over his heart with the Uzumaki crest on his back, black jeans, black Nike shoes.
Naruto met up with Iris and Barry who were in the middle of a case that involved the Mardon Brothers. He walked into his lab to see Joe talking to Iris and Barry.
"It's nice to see everyone back together." He grinned at seeing some of the most important people in his life.
"Naruto. It's good to see you again, kid." Joe hugged him, the same as Iris jumped at him in excitement, something that caught him and the others by surprise.
"It's been a long time since we've really seen each other, so of course I'm going to be excited. Plus, I'm curious about this Particle Accelerator big reveal, since Barry's told me a lot about it." Iris said, blushing at seeing Naruto after a year. Even when he came back, he was incredibly busy with his first book and she never got to see him much if at all.
"I won't keep you three from going to this, so have fun while I am going to track down the Mardon brothers." Joe left after that, leaving three young adults as they left not long after as well, not wanting to miss it.
"If I am gone for this long and it has this kind of effect on you, I should do it more often." Naruto joked, when he got a slap to his arm.
"You leave for that long again and I'll make sure they can't find you. My dad's a cop." She threatened with a smirk, which made him stiff a bit, but chuckled at her as Barry was trying not to laugh at seeing them interact. He may have loved Iris at one point but now it's more of a sister type of love. After having talks with Mikoto about it, she was able to help him sort out his feelings.
"It's good to see you man. It's been way too long." Barry said as they gave brotherly hugs.
"Feeling is mutual. I am sorry about being so out of it. Just with my book being published and following the success it took, kept me very busy. I'll make it up to you both. I promise." Naruto said, getting a nod from him as Naruto took a better look at them.
Barry had grown since he left for college. He was now 6'0 and was wearing a checkered shirt with a maroon sweater over it with black jeans and black sneakers. Iris on the other hand nearly left him breathless. She had gotten even more beautiful in the years he'd been gone. She was standing at 5'4 and her hair went down to her upper back. She was wearing a red shirt with a jacket over it that had some design on it and some black jeans that showed off her nice butt with some heels to finish off the look.
"You look amazing." He told her which got a small blush, but a big smile from her. "And you, my friend, and looking good with the sweater. We have much to catch up on." He said, agreeing with him as they left to go watch the Particle Accelerator start.
"That we do my friend. Especially when you basically locked yourself in your apartment with your book and after it was published, we hadn't seen you in all that time. Not cool to leave us out like that." Barry said, making Naruto wince as he felt guilty in not seeing them at all, but he had been so busy with his book and everything that followed it, but now he would make up for it.
"I'll make up for it. I promise I will." Naruto said, getting a nod from Barry and a kiss on the cheek from Iris.
"You better. It's been way too long, so now you're with us tonight." She told him, who knew that look anywhere knowing when she's made up her mind about something, she'd do it.
"Good because if you don't, you'll be in trouble with her." Barry pointed to Iris who glared at Barry, but couldn't refute his words knowing they were true, making him and Naruto laugh.
They made their way to Star Labs so they could be present for the grand opening and it was exciting to see everyone getting ready for it. Iris was holding onto Naruto's arm with Barry beside them watching in amusement seeing how close they were despite not dating anymore.
"That's true. Also, how was your time in Starling City? Did you find proof of the impossible in Starling City or did you just make my dad mad for no reason?" Iris asked with Naruto perking up at the city mentioned.
"You went to Starling City?" Naruto asked.
"I did and it wasn't impossible, I'll say that, but it was eventful." Barry said, getting intrigued looks from them.
"I see. I'm going to guess that it was a case of some sorts right?" Naruto asked him, with a knowing grin, which Barry laughed nervously, knowing how right he was.
"Yeah and it was interesting to say the least. I'm just glad to be back with you guys." Barry said.
"Agreed." Naruto and Iris said.
They spent the next few hours checking out the place until it was time for the reveal to happen which didn't take as long as they expected. By that point Barry had gone back to his lab while Naruto and Iris went to his home.
"So this is your house huh? You're doing pretty well for yourself." Iris said, looking around.
"I'm doing alright for myself, but I'm not going to go crazy with money and by myself a mansion or something like that. I like what I have." Naruto said.
"That's good. You're being grounded and not getting a big ego. I'm proud of you for your success…. But I missed you all these years and then you come back, but no one sees you often because of your book. I missed one of my best friends." Iris said with a sad expression that made him feel worse.
"I know Iris. I know I missed a lot as well, just as much as mom and Tsunade and Shizune." He hugged her close as she clung to him.
"I'm just glad that you're back now and that we can start catching up. You can also tell me about your travels and where you've been. You owe me that much." She pointed out making him chuckle, but agreed on that note.
"Iris?" He said, getting her attention. "I want to talk about where we're at, not as friends, but when we dated?" He said, getting a slow nod from her.
"We can give it another try, but you know how I feel about telling my dad about it. He'd go nuts." She said, but his expression changed.
"Is it your dad, or is it you?" He asked, getting a surprised look from her. "I know your dad, he'd be okay with it. He's been like a father to me ever since we met, but for some reason you don't want to tell him about us." He said with a firm tone.
"I do love you, never think otherwise. I'm sorry, but it wouldn't be a good idea to tell him. I wouldn't want to be the reason for your guy's relationship to end because of us dating." She said, when they heard a storm outside and saw the Accelerator send off energy waves go off as a lightning cloud formed when it sent out two lightning bolts, with one going off somewhere and the other went straight at them, but weren't prepared for when the bolt had stuck Naruto sending him crashing into his house.
"NARUTO!" Iris cried as she ran to him and saw him unconscious, but she never saw the gold and white lightning sizzle at the bottom of his foot.

"Ow. Where the hell am I?" He asked out loud, getting a good look at his surroundings. It was a void of everything seeming endless.
"You're somewhere I wasn't expecting you to be at, but welcome Naruto Uchiha to the Speedforce." "Mikoto" said with a smile.
"The Speedforce?" He asked, hiding his surprise at seeing his mother.
"Yes, you've been here before." "Mikoto," said. "Whenever you'd use the Hiraishin, it would allow you to appear here when you'd flash someplace, but it wouldn't be enough for you to notice, but you're here now."
"Okay and why am I here then?" He raised an eyebrow in question.
"You'll be needed and worthy to be a hero despite your past as a Shinobi. For the next few months, you'll be training in how to use your new speed." The manifestation of the Speedforce said, pointing at Naruto's hand. He followed where she was looking and saw his hand vibrating at insane speeds, catching him by surprise as he tried holding it to make it stop.
"What is this?" He asked with wide eyes, having never seen anything like it.
"You're a speedster and will learn how to use your powers to help protect the world."
"A speedster huh?" He asked himself before he smirked and had a look of determination on his face. "Let's get started." He said, ready for anything.

4 Months Later Central City
Naruto gasped and shot up catching the attention of Tsunade who was checking on him when she saw him suddenly wake.
"Naruto, you're awake!" She shouted as she checked him over as he took the moment to check his surroundings. He was in what looked like Tsunade's clinic.
"What happened?" He asked, still trying to get his thoughts together.
"You're going to want to prepare yourself for this." She said, as he took a deep breath before nodding. "You were struck by lightning the night the Accelerator went off. You've been in a coma for four months since Iris called us." She said, getting a sigh from him as he remembered his time in the speedforce and everything following his conversation with it.
"I remember." He whispered, but she heard and gave him a confused look. "I remember everything regarding getting hit by the lightning bolt and everything else that happened in my mind." He said, still confusing her.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, a little annoyed at not knowing what he's talking about.
"This." Was all he said when he brought his hand up and it started vibrating.
Tsunade was shocked to say the least at what she was seeing. This shouldn't be possible and that's saying a lot considering who she is and what they could do with chakra.
"What exactly happened to you?" she asked, more curious than annoyed.
Naruto took off all the wires that were strapped to him until he was free and the next thing happened was he seemed to vanish as he ran around the room, but all Tsunade could see was a gold and white lightning trail as he went around the room before he stopped and smirked seeing her jaw hung open.
"What the hell was that brat?!" She shouted, not knowing what else to say when Shizune and Mikoto ran in. They saw Naruto up and tears formed in their eyes, especially Mikoto who'd been devastated when she heard that her son was in a coma.
"Naruto!" Mikoto exclaimed as she lunged at her son and cried, holding him to her chest happy that he's alright and is awake. Shizune wasn't faring much better.
"I. I'm a fine mom. Really. I'm. a. Alright." He wheezed out tapping her arm when the others noticed Naruto was beginning to turn blue.
"Um Mikoto, you should probably let him go, he's about to pass out and he just woke up." Shizune pointed out as she blinked before looking down to see that he was about to lose consciousness, before she loosened her grip which gave him the chance to gasp for air as he was able to breathe easier.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I was just so worried about you! How are you feeling? Are you alright?! Is there anything wrong with you?!" She questioned as she looked him over from head to toe getting sweat drops from everyone in the room.
"I think he's fine, Mikoto. I need to do a check up before he's to be released, but with what I just witnessed, he should probably go see someone about that." Tsunade said, getting confused looks from Mikoto and Shizune, but a smirk from Naruto.
"What does she mean?" Mikoto asked, about to smother him again when they saw a gold and white blur zip across the room before appearing where he was with the same smirk on his face.
"What just happened?!" Shizune asked in complete shock.
"It's a lot to explain, but I'm more than fine now with everything that's happened to me." He said as he motioned to some chairs as they sat down as he began his explanation and his encounter with the speed force and what it told him.
By the end of the explanation, both women were in complete shock and awe at what they were just told and wanted to deny and refute what he was told, but when his hand started vibrating again, they had nothing to say against it. That and he could run nearly as fast as the speed of sound now.
"I don't know what to say, but you need to be careful about this as we know nothing about this and do some research on what happened the night the Particle Accelerator activated." Mikoto said seriously, wanting him to be careful and not do anything rash or stupid right now.
"She's right. This is uncharted territory, so you need to watch what you do and make sure not many if any people find out about this unless you trust them 100%." Tsunade said, as Shizune merely stared at Naruto as if contemplating something.
"Shizune are you alright?" Naruto asked, when all of a sudden she was in front of him and smashed her lips against his and he was caught by surprise not expecting it as she put all of her feelings into the the kiss as Mikoto and Tsunade were surprised by the sudden action, but not by the action knowing how she felt about him for last year or so.
They separated when the need for air came up, but they both were sporting blushes, but Shizune had a light shy look on her face.
"I've been wanting to do that for the longest time, Naruto. With you being gone for so long and with how busy you were with your book, I could never find a chance to express my feelings for you." She said with a mad blush, as normally she wouldn't be so bold, but it was now or never and she didn't want any regrets.
"Wow. I wasn't expecting that." He was wide eyed and jaw open at what just occurred with the older women chuckling.
"I know it's not what you were expecting or maybe even wanted, but I have had feelings for you for a long time and the time we spent together made me realize how important you are to me." She smiled at him, which he returned and took her hand in his own as he rubbed his thumb over her hand.
"You mean the world to me as well since we've been closer. I don't know if I have as strong feelings for you, but I know it's more than simply friends, but I always thought you weren't interested." Naruto said with a small smile, making her smile brighten.
"So what are you saying?" She asked, with a hopeful tone.
"I'd like to see where this could go, so with that said, I'd like to take you out on a date or two to see what could happen." He said, getting a hug from her and a kiss to the cheek before she left with a happy hum, getting two giggles from the older women.
"Well that happened." Mikoto giggled, happy that they were going to get together and hoped that Iris would join in the future too. Oh the grandchildren she could spoil just made her want to squeal.
"So what now?" Naruto asked them.
"Now, I give you one more check up to make sure nothing is wrong and then you can go visit Iris and Joe since they've been worried about you just as much as Barry." Tsunade said, with Mikoto looking sad about her son's best friend's condition.
"Barry? What happened to him?" He immediately asked, worried for him.
"He was hit with a bolt of lightning like you were, except he's still in his coma. I imagine you awoke sooner than anyone else would because of your Uzumaki genes and the Kyuubi. You've always recovered quickly, add the Kyuubi to the list and you would recover much quicker than anyone else. Last I heard he was taken to Star Labs since Harrison Wells would be able to help him more, having more knowledge than the hospital would regarding what happened to him." Mikoto said, concerned for him as he had become like a son to him over the years.
"It makes sense that they'd take him there, since the accident occurred because of the Particle Accelerator, they would be able to help him more than a hospital, having the equipment to do it. I'll go check with Joe and Iris before I do anything as I'm sure they'd like to know I'm okay." He said, getting agreements from the three women.
"Go. You're a clean bill of health and remember, don't tell or show anyone you're a speedster for the time being. You can train with it and everything, but don't show it unless you need to." Tsunade ordered.
"Okay. I got it." Naruto said, not wanting to be on her bad side.
"You're good to go. Joe should be at the precinct and Iris at Jitters. I'll take you there since I want to catch up with you on what you've missed." Mikoto smiled and told him there would be no arguing with her, so he just nodded in acceptance.
"Let's go." Wanting to go see them and Barry to make sure he was okay.
Line Break
They arrived at Jitters and walked in to see it as it had its usual business, but Naruto was looking for Iris and saw her getting an order for someone. He smiled at seeing her and hoped she was okay.
"Iris." He called out, she froze on hearing the voice she hadn't heard from in 4 months. She turned around to see Mikoto and Naruto standing there with smiles on their faces. She dropped her notepad as she ran to them and hugged Naruto.
"Naruto, you're awake. You're finally awake! Oh god I was so worried about you, when that lightning bolt hit you, you nearly died. You had me so worried, but I'm glad that you're awake now." Iris said, making him frown at her worrying so much about him.
"I'm fine Iris. I just woke up earlier today and I couldn't wait to see you. I'm sorry for worrying you." He said, putting a hand to her cheek, but she pulled away from it, surprising him.
"Can't do things like that anymore." Iris said, dreading this.
"Why? The only reason would be if you started dating some..one…."He finished as he looked at Iris as if he swallowed a lemon, but she couldn't look him in the eyes, knowing it was true.
He looked at her for what felt like forever since she was feeling a little guilty about it with their last conversation.
"I'm sorry. It just sort of happened. His name is Eddie Thawne and he would help cover my dad's shifts when he was checking on you and Barry. I thanked him with a cup of coffee and we just hit it off." She said, looking at his eyes and could see some hurt in them.
"I see. Does he make you happy?" He asked, trying to be happy for her.
"Yes, he does." Iris said, with a smile.
"Then I'll support you. You're my best friend and I'll always want you to be happy." Naruto said as he said goodbye and walked back to the car, but Iris wasn't feeling so great after that.
"I'm sorry Miss Uchiha. I didn't mean to hurt him." Iris apologized, but she waved her off having already talked to her about it. She was mad at first, but after some talk, Mikoto felt better and happy for her, but was hoping that they'd get back together.
"I know you didn't, but remember your last conversation and now he's finding out you're seeing someone. He's bound to be hurt for a little bit, but know he'll always have your back." Mikoto said, hoping to appease her even a little bit.
"I know he will, but it doesn't hurt any less to see him in pain." Iris said, with a sad expression while Mikoto gave her an understanding look.
"It was great seeing you again and I hope that Naruto will be okay." Iris said as they hugged before she left and Iris went back to work.
Line Break
A month later
After they left Jitters, they went to the CCPD where they met up with Joe and it was nice to catch up. Not a lot had happened in the last four months and that was good for Naruto since he didn't have as much to catch up on. He went to Star Labs to go check up on Barry where he met three interesting people. One was a man who was his age and from the first visit, he found how much he loved movies, but was also amazing at building different "toys" as he called them. His name was Cisco Ramon. The next person was a beautiful woman of the same age, with brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her name was Caitlin Snow and from what she told him she had lost her fiance, making him feel bad. The last person put him on edge as he was a rather famous scientist. His name was Harrison Wells, but it wasn't his name that put him on edge, but he could sense a vast amount of negative emotions coming from him and it seemed to be aimed at Barry for some reason. He hadn't done anything yet, but he'd keep an eye on the man from now on.
When he introduced himself, he was asked to sign books that Cisco had happily signed for him. Naruto visited a few times a week to check on him, but also found Cisco and Caitlin to be nice people. He learned a lot about them and had brought Mikoto once or twice so she could meet them and she instantly hit it off with Caitlin as Cisco had freaked her out a little, but found him to be funny. And he was embarrassed when Mikoto tried setting him and Caitlin up, but when she heard about her fiance's death, she stopped to not push her.
They had also found out that he had been in a coma from getting hit by a lightning bolt which Harrison was surprised to here since he knew of only one and they immediately wanted to run some tests on him, but he claimed that nothing had happened and that he had already had tests done on him with nothing being different. He lied of course not trusting Wells, but felt bad about lying to the others, but until he got a better handle on his new powers and knew more about them, he'd keep it to himself and his family.
For the last month, he'd been training to get a handle of his new speed and what he could do with it. Sooner than later, he'd need to go to Star Labs for help since Barry would most likely be there more and there was no way he was going to leave him alone there.
He'd also heard a few things regarding some friends over in Starling City with some problems they were having. He along with his mom, Tsunade, and Shizune offered to help when they needed it and accepted their help and would let them know when it's time. This was two weeks ago and he'd just gotten word from Felicity that it was time.
He and the others were making sure that they had all the weapons and supplies they'll need. Shurikens, Kunai or Tri-Pronged on Naruto's case, and anything else they might need.
"Do we have everything?" Naruto asked as he looked over to the former Shinobi's. He had on his old Fox Anbu mask and gear but instead of the armor being white, it's black with a gray cloak and hoodie with his sword strapped to his back with his Rinnegan glowing
"I believe we do." She smirked, activating her Sharingan with her sword in hand. She was wearing her old Jonin flak jacket with the Uchiha Crest on the back and black shirt and pants and some combat boots. (Think Kakashi's clothes under his flak jacket, but a different color.)
"I could use a decent warm up." Tsuande cracked her knuckles with glee in excitement to have some decided not to change and to keep her usual clothes on.
"Well then let's go. Grab on, Felicity has one of my kunai." He said as they grabbed his shoulders and Shizune looped through one of his arms as they vanished in a flash of blue. She was wearing similar clothes to Mikoto, just dark blue instead of black with the Uchiha crest.
Starling City Unknown
A blue flash appeared, startling everyone there as Naruto and the others showed up, having not expected them to just appear out of nowhere.
"Who are you?" The Arrow asked, his bow ready to shoot at the intruders, when Naruto appeared in front of him and snatched the bow from him before he tripped him and put his boot on his chest.
"I'm a little sad you don't remember me Oliver. I know it's been a year or so, but still I'm hurt." He said, removing his mask to reveal the whiskered Uchiha making the others except for Laurel relax. She was freaking out seeing him get taken down too easily and quickly.
"Damn it Naruto did you have to do that, you could've just revealed yourself without doing that to me." Oliver grumbled as Naruto helped him back up along with giving him his bow back.
"I know, but I thought it would be fun." He grinned seeing him glare at him.
"Thank you for coming Naruto. We could really use your help, but who are they?" Felicity asked after hugging her friend whom she knew from MIT when they had classes together. "'Wait isn't that your mom?" She suddenly realized seeing the similarities between the two.
"Yep, Mikoto Uchiha and this is Tsunade Senju and Shizune Kato, they have similar abilities to me, but not as vast.
"Hey Dig, it's good to see you again man. How's it been?" He asked, giving a small brother hug to him.
"Good man, just crazy shit going on like usual with this guy." Dig gestured to Oliver who was deadpanning at what he meant.
"Um, can someone tell me what's going on and who these people are, especially the handsome guy?" Laurel asked, shamelessly checking out Naruto with his jacket off.
"Laurel, this is Naruto Uchiha. He helped us about 8 months ago on one of our cases with the Black Canary when he was here before. He'll be helping us deal with Slade and his army." Oliver said, getting a shocked look from her.
"You're the one who released a new book a year and a half ago right? I've been wanting to meet you ever since I read your book. Wait, you know who Black Canary is, you know my sister?" Laurel asked in surprise.
"Glad you like my book. And yes I know your sister Sara as well as Oliver's sister Thea. Nice to meet you Laurel, I wish it was under better circumstances though. Maybe after we're done we can talk more?" He asked, getting a grin from her, nodding, making the others except for Mikoto sweat drop where she was giggling at them.
"For now though, we should probably focus on what's going on." Shizune commented, rather annoyed at seeing this, not wanting some random woman getting close to her Naruto.
"She's right. You can talk after this whole thing is done. For now, focus, Naruto." Oliver said, wanting to get back on track as they all nodded and did as told.
"Okay, so now that we're back on track, what's the plan on how we're going to deal with Slade and his super soldiers?" Tsunade asked with a serious tone.
"Well before that, what can you three do since we have an idea of what Naruto can do and we'd like to know what your skills are?" Oliver asked, not wanting to make a bad plan without having a proper idea about their skills.
"Me and Shizune are doctors/medics with Shizune being excellent at poisons while I also have super strength." She grinned seeing Team Arrow's reactions of awe and fear in the super strength, especially Oliver glad that she was on their side, but now had to wonder how she got her super strength.
"And you Mikoto?" Felicity asked.
"I can use a sword along with fire and lightning "magic" as you'd call it as well as have these " Her Sharingan activated. "With these I can do all kinds of things with them, but will only use them in circumstances as they can be destructive." She grinned, making Naruto shake his head at her antics.
"I see. I assume Naruto has the same eyes as you do, am I right?" Dig asked, still shocked at what he was hearing and seeing.
"Yep." He activated his own briefly before turning back to normal as they nodded.
"Alright, so now we can make a plan, first we need to deal with the army as well as evacuate as many people as we can to get some shelter." Oliver said as the former Kunoichi's looked at Naruto who saw this and sighed knowingly what they had in mind with the others looking at them confused.
"I can do that as I can create thousands of clones to get people to safety." He said, with Team Arrow getting further surprised from what they just heard.
"What do you mean you can make clones?" Dig asked, wanting to know how it was possible.
"Sure." He crossed his fingers.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu." He muttered as twelve puffs of smoke appeared behind him, revealing identical Naruto's.
"How? How's this possible?" Laurel asked in shock/awe.
"With these I can make more to help get people to shelters like Tsunade and Shizune who can also create clones, but not as many and help people as long as with the other doctors." Naruto said as they nodded, with Oliver being impressed.
"Alright, but what about the super Soldiers? They'll be difficult to handle." Felicity commented.
"Well we'll split up as Naruto and I can take them on most likely on our own, so we'll have to bring them to one location where we can deal with them at once." Mikoto suggested, getting worried looks as that would be hard, nearly impossible.
"No. That's too risky and one of them is tough, but all of them at once would be suicide." Oliver disagreed instantly.
"We can handle it, we're a lot stronger than we appear and numbers won't be an issue, besides…" He brought his hand up and started vibrating. "I've gotten much much faster since I woke up from my coma." He smirked.
"What about me and Dig ?" Felicity raised her hand in question.
"Find somewhere safe and keep us updated at what happens in the city. You'll be our eyes and ears. Dig will help me take down Slade." Oliver said, nodding in acceptance.
That was when Felicity got a call from someone and explained how he was stuck in his car with a broken leg and needed help.
"We'll go get him out before anything happens to him." Oliver said.
"And me?" Laurel asked, wanting to help in some way.
"You get out of the city too. I'll have a clone from Naruto to make sure you get out safely." Oliver said.
"I agree. It would be better, so for now we do what Oliver says. Let's go" Naruto said as he created a hundred clones as they scattered except for one to escort Laurel as they separated along with everyone else.
With Naruto
Naruto had instantly found a group of Mirakuru soldiers and ran at them with sword in hand now as one threw a wild punch, but he dodged it before stabbing chest before kicking him away. The remaining three surrounded him and charged at him attacking as a group, but Naruto was dodging and weaving between their attacks with ease.
He grabbed one's arm and threw him over his shoulder not before throwing a kunai as he hit him in the back. He caught a punch from the two with ease and kicked them away. The first guy got up had a piece of rubble and threw it at him as Naruto smirked before punching it with destroying it with him not expecting that wasn't ready for when Naruto was on him instantly and punched him in the stomach before creating a Rasengan and slamming it into his face as the mask was destroyed and the jutsu sent him crashing into the building killing him instantly.
Naruto looked back at the two Mirakuru before going through two hand signs with the smirk still on his face.
"Lightning style: Electromagnetic Murder." He muttered as electricity surrounded his hands before slamming them on the ground as a wave hit the two who screamed in pain before being sent flying back and hitting the ground with thuds.
"That takes care of these four, now to round up the rest of them, so we can really cut loose." He said to himself before super speeding away.
Thea
She was running through the train station being followed by Malcolm Merlyn trying to get away from him despite having saved her, she was disgusted with him with what he did to the glades last year. She hid behind a pillar hoping he'd leave her alone since she wanted nothing to do with him.
"Thea, I'm not here to hurt you!" Malcolm called out.
"Why should I believe you?" She asked, not believing him for a moment."You're a murderer, a terrorist, and a psychopath!" She yelled at the man who killed her brother's best friend.
"I don't expect you to understand what I've done…. Not now… Not without time to explain everything." He said, walking closer.
"She's not going anywhere with you Malcolm Merlyn. If what you say is true about being her father, then you failed as one." A voice called out as Naruto appeared between them with his sword in hand.
"W-who are you?" Thea asked, timidly.
"I don't know who you are, but this doesn't concern you stranger." Malcolm said, still calm, but annoyed.
"I'm a friend of Oliver and that's all you need to know, Malcolm. The name's Fox, so for now you will face me or leave her alone. The choice is yours, but I wouldn't try it." Naruto said sternly with an emotionless expression, slightly scaring Thea.
Malcolm stared at the masked man for a minute before turning around and leaving, but not before having the last word.
"We'll talk at another time Thea. I only hope that you learn to give me a chance at that time." He said, before disappearing into the shadows.
"Well glad that's done and taken care of." Naruto said, turning around to face her, who was shaking.
"Who are you?" She asked nervously.
Naruto smiled behind his mask as he pulled it down revealing his face, which got a shocked look before smiling widely and jumping into his arms as she cried into his chest.
"Shh. It's okay Thea. I'm going to get you out of here. I'll be taking you to where my Godmother and her assistant are where you'll be safe." He rubbed her back soothingly with her nodding feeling better having a friend with her.
He picked her up bridal style and sensed where Tsunade was before vanishing in a swirl of water, leaving no trace that someone was there.
Laurel and the Clone
They were running down the street, looking to get away from things when a Mirakuru soldier appeared, forcing the NC (Naruto Clone) to fight it.
"Go! I'll be right behind you." He said as Laurel nodded and kept going leaving them alone.
The guy went for a punch to his face, but he pushed hit fist away and lead with his own punch to the gut making him double over, but didn't stay down for long. He got up, grabbed a broken pipe and started swinging it at him, but he was slow compared to Naruto as he was dodging with it. He went for a lunge, but Naruto moved to the side before he kneed him in the chin forcing him to reel back. With no chance to retaliate he sent out multiple punches with his super speed ending with a knee to his back and and stepped on the back of his knee shattering it before he vibrated his hand at super speeds into his back coming out of his chest killing him instantly.
He shook the blood off of his hand and looked around to not see Laurel anyway. Being worried, he concentrated and found her energy signature before he super sped to where she was.
He appeared to find her, but she wasn't alone as she was with a blonde nearly bleach white hair. She was wearing a tight leather suit that didn't do much to cover her cleavage or to the imagination with a black mask, but again didn't exactly do a lot with black boots. He immediately got in between them and pushed her away as he got in front of Laurel ready to fight.
"No stop, she's my sister." Laurel said, making Naruto look at the unknown woman with surprise as she looked at him with curiosity and alert, feeling the strength that he had when he pushed her.
"That's Sara? Are you sure?" He asked, looking at the woman who was trying to figure out who he was.
"Yes, that's her." Laurel said with certainty.
"Okay, we need to get out of here for now, we can talk about this later as I want to know who you are too." Sara said, as they nodded and took off.
Line Break
While Naruto and his clones were evacuating everyone they could and taking on the army along with Mikoto. Team Arrow was looking for Slade to end things once and for all, but first needed to find Felicity's friend when they were ambushed by two Mirakuru soldiers who managed to shove a car into it's path flipping it over which it knocked her out. Oliver and Dig managed to get her out and were about to engage the two when a clone appeared kicking one away and thrusted a Rasengan into his stomach that sent him flying away.
"Go! I got this!" He shouted, nodding to them as he took off to the soldiers leaving the group to continue with their task.
"Glad he's on our side." Dig said in awe at what he had just seen.
"Let's go." Oliver said, curious about the spiraling sphere that he saw in the clone's hand before he picked Felicity up and they took off.
Later with Naruto and Mikoto
The two Uchiha had been dealing with the super soldiers since they separated and now were down to a large group that had close to probably 200 left as they had formed to take out Naruto and Mikoto since they had been a pain in the ass for them.
"This looks like the last of them son. I hope they can give us a challenge, what do you say we bring out the big guns with our MS?" Mikoto asked with a grin which got Naruto to chuckle and nod.
"I've had fun with them that's for sure and with my clones finishing evacuating people, I've got much more chakra than before. Let's go all out, but I think I'll bring out the fox." He smirked, surprising her, having not expected him to say this, but was interested to see how that would go.
They activated their Sharingans, but they kept spinning until their eyes evolved to the Mangekyou. From that point on, the group of Mirakuru could only describe what they're saw is two skeletal figures appeared around the two with Mikoto's being black and Naruto's was white until skin and armor formed around them with two hands for them as one had a katana being Mikoto's and Naruto's had a smaller blade. These were their Susanoo's and were nearly complete.
Naruto wasn't done as he went through a series of hand signs before slamming them on the ground as smoke covered the area when they heard a loud roar come from the smoke and a tail swiped to reveal Kurama in his glory with his nine tails swishing behind him.
"It's about time I'm out here kit! I needed to stretch my legs and look what I see, some playmates." He licked his fangs sadistically, further scaring the small army never seen a fox like him.
"Oh god what are those things?!" One screamed out.
"And did that fox just talk?!" Another shouted.
"Let's have some fun." Mikoto said as the three charged at them.
Thea, Tsunade, and Shizune POV
Thea has made it to where the two medics were and after checking her for any injuries, she was told that she was alright and nothing at all. She asked questions about who they were and how they know him, with Tsunade answering how she's his Godmother and Shizune was a possible lover for him which irked her since he was a good guy and attractive. She had seen a bunch of Naruto's come in with people which freaked her out since from what she knew, he was an only child. The people they brought in were from the city and was amazed when she saw their hands glow green when they examined someone. When she asked what that glow was, they said they'd explain once they were done examining everyone, miffed about it, but she accepted it.
Tsunade could see Thea making glances back in the city, more specifically where Naruto was generally and it made her chuckle knowing that she was worried about him.
"You seem to be worried about the brat, but don't worry he's fine and by now he should be with his mother and if that's the case then they're about to start the final battle with the Mirakuru soldiers." She said.
"WHAT?! That's suicide to fight that many of them at once! He'll need help!" Thea shouted in anger/worry.
"Don't worry, if I know those two by anything they'll be in for a good time and show them not to mess with him." Tsunade said, hoping to placate her, but she was still worried.
"I want to believe you, but this is Naruto we're talking about and he's a good guy. I'd hate to see something happen to him." Thea said, worry in her tone that made Tsunade look at her with amusement and looked over to Shizune who was frowning at another girl possibly being interested in him.
"You seem to care for him a lot. Am I to assume that there's a spark for him?~" Tsunade teased, seeing pink appear on her cheeks.
"Of course I'm worried, he's my friend and is fighting those super soldiers. Why wouldn't I be worried about him?" Thea denied, trying to calm her blush from the teasing, but didn't help she started stuttering denials, making her giggle finding her to be cute.
"Relax, I'm only teasing. You're not the only one interested in him." Tsunade glanced at her apprentice who looked away with a humph, but had a smile on her face, which Thea saw and frowned.
Suddenly the two Kunoichi's stiffened, which got Thea's attention when they saw two glows coming from the city that got bigger when all of a sudden smoke filled the area until she saw something that would terrify her forever and yet be amazed at. She saw two samurai-like figures that were huge, about half the size of buildings, but when she saw the fox towered over the taller buildings and even more when she heard it talk.
"It can talk?! What are those things?!" Thea all, but yelled at in surprise and shock having never seen anything like it.
"So he's bringing out the big guns? This should be interesting since it looks like they're wanting to have some fun." Shizune commented slightly worried since they summoned the Susanoo and he brought out the Kyuubi which would take a lot of chakra to do.
Tsunade didn't answer, but just smirked knowing that they'd be fine and were only doing this to intimidate and to have some fun.
NC, Sara, and Laurel (After seeing them summon their Susanoo's and Kurama)
"What are those things?!" Laurel shouted seeing the giant figures as she turned to the clone for answers, but she saw him smirking, as if waiting for something else to happen.
"Those are called Susanoo's and they're the Sharingan's ultimate defense. They'll be fine as mom is there with him." NC said, confusing Sara having not heard of it before.
"Sharingan? I've never heard of it before. Because I'm confused about what you're talking about." Sara said with clear confusion in her tone.
"Not at all, the Sharingan is something only they and their descendants could use, so they have to have Uchiha blood with the chance to activate. They're special eyes that allow them to do amazing things such as predict someone's movement before they do it, put people in illusions, copy techniques, and that's the basic stuff." NC said with a grin seeing their dumbfounded expressions.
"What the hell?! That's ridiculous and crazy. That shouldn't be possible right?" Laurel asked in disbelief.
Sara suddenly brought her staff out, pointing it threateningly at him who didn't look surprised by the action and only smiled at the protectiveness of her sister.
"Okay who or what are you? You're something else and aren't normal humans. So, I'll ask again, who are you?" Sara threatened as he put his hands up defensively.
The clone smiled at how protective she is of her sister and wished he had a sibling like that, making him think back to his former family, frowning inwardly at them before pushing the thought away as now wasn't the time for thinking about the past.
"You're right. I'm not normal, but I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm a former Shinobi and the story behind me is long and now isn't the time for it. We're almost to the spot my Godmother is at where she and her apprentice are looking after the people. When this whole thing is over I'll explain everything." He said, but didn't do much to ease her worries. She looked at him for a few minutes before lowering her staff and gave a small nod before they continued making their way to the camp.
Naruto, Mikoto, and Kurama
Naruto and Mikoto in their Susanoo's brought down their swords that created a shockwave killing many of them while others were sent flying from the powerful swing. Several soldiers rushed him while others threw giant pieces of rubble or whatever they could find, but nothing worked as they were still up.
Think what Madara did to the Allied Shinobi Forces with his Susanoo to them.
Kurama dashed at them with fast speeds, despite his size as he swiped with his paws while his tails were swishing around scattering the landscape as soldiers were being killed while others were sent flying. He would've fired off a Tailed Beast Bomb, but it would've most likely destroyed the city and they're trying to save it.
Naruto and Mikoto were panting from pushing their Mangekyou as their eyes were burning and so they let their Susanoo's go as they looked to see about 50 left which they were more than enough and Mikoto dashed forward with Naruto using his speed to end it quickly towards the remaining left.
Naruto put his sword away, wanting to see what he can do with his new powers. He sped towards them with gold and white lightning as he punched one in the jaw and kicked another in the chest away. Naruto saw one throw a wild punch, but he ducked under it while kneeing him in the chin before appearing behind him and kicking him in the back.
Four more surrounded him to gang up on him, so they charged at him to overwhelm him. He super sped in front of one of them with his hand vibrating into the man's chest, but it didn't pierce it like he expected, but his hand went through it and managed to pierce his heart without actually piercing his chest which killed him instantly. The others saw this and had started doubting themselves since he along with Mikoto and Kurama had been handling them without trouble.
One guy threw a right hook, but Naruto caught the punch that sent him skidding back, but he managed to dodge another punch coming from the second guy, but wasn't prepared for a punch to the back of the head, sending him crashing, but didn't keep him down for long. He growled in annoyance since he had let his guard down which he won't do again. He went through hand signs wanting to finish this in one move.
Water Release: Great Waterfall TechniqueHe inhaled before exhaling a large amount of water into the air before falling down onto the group and however many remained creating a waterfall which hit them. When everything settled down, he and Mikoto checked the area to see if any survived. Kurama had already gone back into the seal leaving the two of them left.
"Nicely done Naruto. That was quite the technique and it was perfectly done. How are you feeling?" Mikoto asked.
"I want food. I'm hungry." He said, his stomach grumbling making her giggle.
"I've noticed you've been getting hungry quicker and needing to eat more. I think your metabolism has gotten faster along with the amount of food you eat." She said, getting a nod from him.
"Yeah. Ever since I woke up, things have changed for my body aside from gaining speed, I also got a much faster metabolism and a bigger stomach." He said.
"We should get back to Tsunade and Shizune since there's nothing else for us to do here." She said.
"Sounds like a plan." He said, before grabbing her shoulder and super sped to where she was.
Tsunade and the others
Naruto and Mikoto arrived to see Tsunade and Shizune talking to Sara, Felicity, Oliver, Dig, Laurel, and Thea.
"How'd it go?" Oliver asked.
"Good. It's been awhile since I let loose like that." He smirked.
"What was that thing and what was up with the fox? Who was it?" Thea asked as everyone, but Oliver, Felicity, and Dig were wondering the same thing.
"What are you talking about?" Dig asked, confused.
"She's talking about the Samurai that they had used to fight the army and Naruto somehow summoned a giant fox." Sara said, getting questioning looks from the non-Shinobi people who were looking at Naruto and Mikoto for an explanation.
"And you owe us some answers after what we've seen." Thea said with a hand on her hip looking at him with a glare, that looked adorable to Naruto.
"Alright of course. It's a long story, so you might want to sit down for this one." Naruto said as he along with the others would help explain to them their origins, where they came from, how, and why.
Like with the West's and Barry, they told them everything which took three hours with questions being asked throughout the whole thing. They were in awe and yet horrified with what the Elemental Nations with the amount of wars they had and what the life of a Shinobi was like along with Jinchuriki's and what the Tailed Beasts are and their history. He even summoned Kurama to explain about him and the other eight.
Everyone was looking at the four in awe of what they can do with chakra and what it was capable of. It made them a little envious, with some wanting to learn more about it later.
"So, I get why Mikoto, Tsunade, and Shizune left, but why'd you want to leave?" Sara, getting confused looks from everyone except for the former Shinobi who looked at Naruto worriedly."I can see Mikoto in him, but he also has characteristics of two others." She pointed out.
Naruto sighed before nodding. "You're right and wrong. Mom may not be my birth mother, but she treated me like her son all my life and when I was 16 she used a blood ritual that would make me her son by blood. I used to go by Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" He said the last name with venom, surprising everyone at what they heard.
"Why the changes?" Thea asked, a little worried.
"My birth parents are Minato Namikaze who was my father and Kushina Uzumaki being my birth mother. When I was 8 years old the village was attacked by Kurama who was under a Genjutsu or illusion that forced him to attack it. Because Tailed Beasts can't be killed, Minato sealed him into my little sister and from there they left the village, disappeared and I thought they all were dead. The entire village was told I was the Jinchuriki of Kurama which was wrong at the time and so, people started treating me differently. I lost a lot of friends and only a few of them stayed with me. The civilians and most of the Shinobi treated me as if I was the fox himself and well let's just say that I had to deal with multiple assassinations for 8 years." He said, getting shocked and disgusted looks at hearing this. " Apparently it was meant to be a secret kept from me, but I found out and when I confronted the Third Hokage on it, he admitted it. After that, I never trusted him or anyone except for my friends. When I was 16, I got another big surprise that normally would've been great news. It turned out my family was alive the whole time and they were living in the capital living luxurious lives and trying to teach my sister how to use Kurama's chakra. That and another reason was that they heard she was the child of prophecy making her more important than me." Naruto finished with a frown on his face.
"They basically abandoned you!" Thea yelled out in anger and sadness for him.
"Not only that, but he was the Uzumaki heir to the clan, but they gave it to Kasumi thinking that she'd be better suited despite not knowing a thing about Naruto in 8 years. They basically left him to rot while they pampered and spoiled their daughter when their son needed them back in Konoha. After that, we left and he became my son and my heir to the Uchiha clan. A month later met up with Tsunade and Shizune before deciding to leave the Elemental Nations and ended up in Central City." Mikoto added making everyone's frowns get deeper, but smiled at the end, especially Oliver, Thea, Felicity, and Dig since they were able to become friends with him.
"Wow." Felicity breathed out, not sure what to think about it.
"It was a long time ago, but I would never change anything with how things have gone, or else we might've not come here." They smiled at his words.
"So, what now?" Oliver asked, wanting to know what's next.
"We'll be heading back to Central City after some celebrating though of course." Naruto suggested.
"I think we all could use some relaxation since I'm tired and exhausted from a tiring day." Felicity said, feeling the energy rush, wanting to get some sleep.
"I couldn't agree more, man." Dig chuckled in agreement.
"What about you Sara? You're technically on the run from the League of Assassins, so what's the plan for you?" Oliver asked her ex.
"I'm not sure. Staying hidden is really all I can do." Sara shrugged, but was glad they were concerned about her.
"Why not stay here with us? Dad would love to see you." Laurel suggested, wanting to have her back.
"You know I can't Laurel, otherwise you'd be in danger from them if I stuck around.
Sara said with a sigh.
Naruto had an idea and looked over at Mikoto who saw the look he was giving her, making her smile at the idea knew what he was thinking.
"What if she went back to Central City with us?" Mikoto suggested as they looked over at her in surprise.
Oliver seemed to like the idea knowing that not only they could take out any assassins they see, but they also can protect him.
"This has nothing to do with you. I don't want to risk you getting caught in this. You don't know what they're capable of." Sara argued.
"And neither do they, but we're more than capable enough to handle them. We're Shinobi's who are also known as assassins and add to the fact that we can use chakra is also a bonus along with Naruto's new speed and powers from the particle accelerator makes him and us more dangerous than them." Tsunade retorted, shutting her up before looking at everyone else for their opinions on the suggestion, but received nothing else.
She sighed knowing she wouldn't win this argument, but was glad that she wouldn't have to be on the run anymore.
"Glad to have you with us and hope we get along Sara." Naruto smiled with a nod that she returned.
"Thank you for this and I look forward to getting to know you as well." She smiled at them.
A Week Later
They had spent the last week in Starling, celebrating and rebuilding what was damaged. Naruto had a drinking contest with Oliver, Dig, Sara, Laurel, Tsunade, and Mikoto and it was interesting to say the least with Naruto winning since he found out he couldn't get drunk no matter how much he drank due to being a speedster. It was hard enough already being a Jinchuriki, but now it was impossible which irritated him, but made everyone else either giggle or laugh at his predicament. After some heavy drinking on Sara and Laurel's part, they both had attempted to flirt and have sexy with him, but he stopped them and instead got them settled down in their rooms with some water to sleep it off. Oliver and Dig were impressed and happy that Naruto didn't take advantage of them. When the two women heard what he did for them, they were glad he was such a gentleman and wanted to thank him for coffee or dates which he accepted since it would be rude if he said no. Mikoto along with Tsunade were excited to hear since Naruto had a big heart that he could give, but it meant more grandbabies to spoil.
Thea found him to be even more attractive than he already was and after talking to Oliver and getting his approval with the condition that Naruto would keep her safe, was going with them back to Central City to start over away from everything. When Mikoto heard this, she was pleased to have her join as she found her to be nice and even asked to be trained by her in how to use a sword along with wanting to learn to shoot a bow from Oliver which he agreed too. She also asked if it was possible for her to access chakra which he knew was since everyone had it and just needed to know how to unlock it. Sara was also interested and wanted to see if it was possible for her as well which they were more than happy to help under the condition that they'd go back to school which she accepted albeit begrudgingly.
He and Felicity caught up and were glad that they were each doing good with their lives. They talked about what they had been up to the last couple of years and had a lot of fun talking about memory lane in college and even when they dated, but they'd always remain as friends.
They were all gathered around the Arrow cave as everyone was saying their goodbyes wondering what would be in store for the new future. They finished saying goodbyes before they all surrounded Naruto as he flared his and Kurama's chakra that covered them before disappearing in a blue flash, leaving Team Arrow left.
Three Months Later
After coming back from Starling City, they got Thea and Sara situated as they lived with Mikoto while they set Thea up for college for a few classes while Mikoto had started training Thea on the basics of hand to hand along with conditioning to get her body in shape. Sara would train with Naruto since she had a large amount of training already from her time in the League of Assassins and Naruto found out she was very good with a staff and very flexible during their spars. Whenever they would spar, she would flirt and use her flexibility to tease him which unnerved him since she would grin while doing it. She'd wear those tight black tights and a tank top that showed off her wide hips, her E-cup breasts and round, plump ass. Thea would also tease him when he would watch her train to give tips or anything showing off her nice, firm ass with a tank top that showed her C-cup breasts when she'd catch him staring at times, making her smirk and to make it worse for him, she'd add a sway to her hips to tease him further.
Naruto had caught up with Iris and Joe, but didn't spend as much time with her seeing how he was still a little upset with how their last talk went, but they were getting better. She had started training again with them and wanted to unlock her chakra. She had met Thea and Sara when he introduced them, they got along quickly and would meet up at Jitters or just hang out at Naruto's for movie nights.
Naruto kept up his visits with Barry and got to know Cisco and Caitlin a bit more along with Wells, despite still having a bad feeling about him. When he felt he could trust them, he pulled Cisco and Caitlin aside and told them that something did change after being struck by lightning. He showed them by vibrating his hand which shocked them with Cisco geeking out wanting to know more along with Caitlin since she was a doctor. She checked him over and made it a little painful since he never told them sooner and felt hurt by it. After doing some tests and seeing him run in person, Cisco had shown him a suit that could withstand his speed. The idea was awesome, but he wanted a different suit since red wasn't his color. Cisco with the help of Naruto ordered a speeding treadmill that Cisco would alter for him specifically where he can test to see his top speed at the time. A week later, Cisco called Naruto to Star Labs to show the new suit that he had built for him to have. It looked awesome.
Naruot was decked out in his new Speedster suit, standing composed in the darkened STAR Labs laboratory. The suit's main color was a brilliant dark blue with delicate gray accents to give it a modern, sleek style. The suit's genuine essence, however, came to life with a stunning explosion of energy. Fiery red lightning bolts emanated from his chest, arms, and legs, strikingly contrasted against the white and gray background. The bolts crackled with kinetic energy, displaying his tremendous speed. Naruto's determined eyes were the only ones visible through the dark blue cowl covering the upper portion of his face.
The lab hummed with the promise of velocity, and he quickly nodded to his fellow scientists ready to try out his new suit. He can remember what his top speed was when he tested it for the first time.
*Flashback*
They were now getting ready to test what he can do on the speed treadmill and Naruto couldn't wait to see what he could really do since he hadn't ever tested to see what his limit is.
"Alright now, we have everything set up, so while you're on the treadmill doing your thing, we'll be out here monitoring your vitals." Cisco said with excitement.
"And while we want to see what you can do, you also need to remember your limits and not to push yourself too far. I don't really feel like putting you back together because you were being reckless." Caitlin said, as he raised his hands in defense.
"I hear you, Cait, I'll be careful. I promise." Naruto said, as Caitlin nodded with a smile as Cisco snickered, getting a glare from him.
"Let's see what you can do." Cisco said as he left the room to the observation room. What no one noticed was Dr. Wells was watching, curious to see what he could do.
Naruto stepped onto the treadmill and took a breath before he started jogging to get the treadmill going before he was sprinting going faster and faster. It wasn't long before he was going so fast they could start see lightning coming off of him.
"He just hit 500!" Cisco grinned in excitement.
"He's looking good so far. His glucose level looks good, Heart rate, blood pressure, nerve conduction are all normal." Cait said, looking at his vitals.
"For Naruto." Cisco commented.
"Brainwave function is within standard limits too." She said.
"I knew the treadmill could take it. He's really moving now. He just hit mach 700 and he'll only get better." Cisco grinned in excitement.
"From what we know Naruto trains his body at home with his mother and Godmother, so we know he stays in shape." Caitlin said with a slight blush at seeing his muscles through the suit.
"For now, we'll just observe." Caitlin said as they continued to observe him when he managed to get to Mach 1.2..
Wells was amazed at what he saw considering he had just gotten his speed and was already that fast.
"He's incredible, but how come there was no mention of him anywhere. Who exactly are you, Naruto Uchiha?" He asked himself.
*End Flashback*
After he left, he went over to check on one of his best friends, Alex Danvers who was a scientist, much like her parents Eliza and had met in high school and kept in touch in college and when she saw that he was awake finally, she glomped him in tears glad that he was awake and okay. Out of instinct, she slammed her lips against his, he returned it with passion. After making out and realizing what just happened, they blushed and would need to talk about it and see what's there between them and to talk to Shizune since she felt the same towards him too. After explaining everything to them, they wanted to work with him on his powers to see what he was capable of which he was thankful for. He mentioned that he was getting a speed treadmill that would be able to handle his speeds no matter how fast he got and so decided to get one for him. They wanted him to come back in a week to see what his top speed would be since it would take that long to get something set up for him by then. He had offered to teach her how to unlock her chakra, since they knew about his past and she accepted wanting to study the energy and to see what she would be capable of with it.
After the first month of training, Naruto with the help of the others helped them along with Iris unlock their chakra. They were naturals at it, especially Sara being High-Jonin already in skill in merely hand to hand and using a bow staff and with accuracy with using kunai when she learned how to shoot a bow. Alex wanted to learn how to use a chokotu since it was easier for her to wield. They had been going through chakra control exercises, physical conditioning along with learning the substitution and transformation techniques. It was coming slow, but they were doing extremely well. RIght now they were about to find out their elemental affinity.
"Alright so far you four have been making great progress in your training and we feel it's time to find out your elemental affinity." Mikoto said, pulling out three chakra papers, getting raised eyebrows from them. "This is Chakra Paper that comes from a very special tree. When you push chakra into it, it'll allow you to find out what element you're most attuned to. Sometimes people get more than one, but that's rare and can learn another later on in time." She explained and looked to Naruto to take over.
"Here's what will happen to the paper, if it's wind it'll cut, fire it'll burn, water it'll become soaked, lightning it'll crinkle, and earth will make it crumble. I'll show you mine." He explained as they saw his paper glow bluish before they saw the paper cut into four sections, one part crinkled, another part soaked, the third part burned and the last part crumbled signifying he had affinities for all five elements, shocking them.
"Mine's rare due to having the Rinnegan which gives me affinities for all five natures. Go ahead, we'll start with Iris first." He said, as she nodded and did as told.
What happened was her paper soaked indicating she had an affinity for water, making her smile. Sara went next and she got the same thing, smirking at Iris as they high-fived having the same one. Alex went next and her paper burned completely with the heat being quite large showing she had a very strong affinity towards it. Thea went last and her paper crinkled showing she had lightning which was interesting given her use of a bow which could deal some damage to others.
"Interesting, yet not unexpected with what we got here. Luckily I'm great with lightning, so I can help with that, however we don't have enough scrolls for water manipulation or the chakra metal since we want you to have the best metal that'll work for you." Mikoto said, getting a sigh from Naruto who had an idea as to what she was saying.
The girls look at them in confusion, wondering what she's got in mind. "What do you mean? Don't you have chakra metal here or scrolls when you first left Konoha?" Iris asked.
"We did, but we hadn't thought about teaching others how to unlock their chakra, so we'll have to head back to get some stuff which means-" Mikoto started.
"We're going back to Konoha." He finished, surprising them completely.
And that's a wrap up for the chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. It was good to get this chapter out next. Have a great day! I'll see you guys later! KillerSSGRed out!
