This is a Naruto and Justice League Crossover Fanfiction Only. Other Franchises will be included.
Naruto and Sasuke lived through many things in life, they lived through hardships and conflicts that would have demoralized them if not outright destroyed the desire to keep on living had that happened to them, neither were strangers to tragedy, the unfairness of growing up alone, even as if one supposedly was enjoying the treatment of royalty when in reality he knew that he was just a lamb being lead to the slaughter.
The girls who showed interest in him growing up were not interested in him at all, but rather the expected political power that being with him entailed. It was kind of ironic that he was supposedly from the clan who was the most disliked and yet contributed the most to the prosperity of their village. If this was not bad enough his father was once the fourth person to ever become the undisputed leader of their village, a man who had the responsibility and duty to protect his citizens to the point of bloodshed, which he proved when he single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of enemy troops in less than a minute and earned himself the moniker of the yellow flash of Konoha.
I know that most would think this was all said about Sasuke, the last surviving member of his clan, and how people used to bend over backward to both comfort and keep him pleased so that he wouldn't just put up his hands and say fuck it all, and marched right out of the village. Make no mistake Sasuke had indeed thought of doing just that on several occasions, but no the one I was talking about was Naruto, the boy whose political might and pedigree, it should have predicted that much like his father, he too would one day become Hokage.
The fact is Naruto held within in him the single most powerful of the nine tailed beasts, which granted him immeasurable amounts of Chakra, to make matters worse his clan had a not so spoken benefit a bloodline trait that increased his lifespan and vitality to such a degree that disease would never claim his life, and to add to this he was the one person who had access and right to possess the most extensive and detailed knowledge on the sealing arts, more so than any other person in the entire world.
Had his family not been killed and people know who his parents were, the kid would be born in the lap of luxury, living in the equivalent of a Daimiyo's castle, and born not only with a crown but also silver and gold spoons in his mouth. Sasuke's only goal, only focus was to restore his clan and to avenge the death of his beloved parents, that is it. That was his sole goal in life, and to achieve it he would sell his own soul to the devil to be able to make that happen, considering he accepted a deal from Orochimaru of all people, some people would say that he would have gotten a better deal from the actual devil.
After all this, they fought wars against basically zombie armies, alien mass murdering conquerors, and enough shit that most people if they heard it would simply accuse the person that was saying that they were blowing smoke up their ass, or they were making shit up, but sadly, that was not the case at all. These two lived a life that could not be called anything less than having to walk through the very depths of hell, and after surviving this and managing to live long enough to marry and have families of their own, they eventually both died, after achieving something most other worlds would consider impossible, establishing world peace.
By the time Naruto and Sasuke died, war was not even considered when dealing with a conflict between people or nations, these two men were so respected in the end that they were enshrined and buried like they were royalty, and their resting place but in such a way that anyone who dared to step into the place knew they were violating something akin to stepping on the toes of god. Long after they were dead, the people whose lives they saved and who were the people who called them the sages who saved the world from certain doom, held yearly celebrations to honor and venerate these two dead warriors. If their might and prowess as warriors were anything to go by, it should have also not been that strange that it attracted the attention of less than savory individuals, who wished to steal the corpses and study them to gain the secrets their remains contained and obtain the fabled might that these two possess, power to make nations stop on their tracks simply because one or both of them said they would fight against them if they did not stop their plans.
After centuries the people merely called the tales of these sages as old wife's tales, and fables, pure and utter fiction. The world had gone through several wars and if these sages existed there should be any such wars, to begin with, the fact that the people of the world had suffered through wars like that made some people think that the tale of these two sages was either a fairy tale or made up by a monarch who wanted to make up a story to claim godhood. One group of individuals knew of such miraculous powers since their leader had enjoyed life for several times longer than any other man ever could, they had access and basic control of a small underground river and cavern that held water that could heal any injury and even revive the dead. Much like the person mentioned in the Bible, this was called a Lazarus Pit. A pit that their leader and those of his family may be bathed in and instantly be brought back to life and at the peak of their form, regaining their youth should the person die of old age.
The man's name had been forgotten in the annuals of history, he has been active in his evil schemes since practically the birth of civilizations, he had a hand in the burning and sacking of Rome and caused many empires to crumble into dust with little to no remorse about it. This was the man who was simply called the demon's head, otherwise known to his group which he called the League of Shadows, and as their leader he was called Ra's Al Ghul. If the Lazarus Pit had one negative aspect to them is that any person who bathed in those waters while healed would be inflicted with so much hatred and desire for violence that they were essentially berzerkers the minute they came out from bathing in the waters of the pit, but Ra's Ak Ghul did not even consider this to be a negative.
The fact is this ancient man came to the resting place of the two sages to do something that not even Hitler dared to do, to ransack the crypt and use the remains found within to make his minions, his followers within the league nearly invincible, if he could have the league each has the fabled power of these sages, their goal would finally be achieved and conquest of the world would no longer be just a simply dream.
Both Sasuke and Naruto had no clue what was happening around them or that even when their final resting place had been so maliciously violated. There was nothing they could do, at that moment they were dead after all. The fact is that these trespassers did not leave the site without paying the price for their insolence, those who once built the tomb respected them well enough that they built into the crypt some rather inventive and some might even call them cruel traps for those foolish enough to attempt to violate the sanctity of this place. The traps were designed so that only a ninja of high skill would ever make it out of the place alive since more than likely ninjas were the ones that designed and built those traps in the first place.
Ra's Al Ghul was shocked to see how many of his followers were being killed it seemed the crypt was more of a death trap rather than a crypt as he had initially believed. Quitting and failure were not outcomes that the madman would accept, he would obtain his prize and if he had to sacrifice more of his minions then it was a worthwhile sacrifice to achieve his ultimate goals. After many of his followers dying from everything from burns, poison, or being crushed they finally reached the final resting place to find the two casquets holding two bodies, he knew these two were more than likely buried long before even the continent of Atlantis sank, but for some strange reason the bodies did not look like he expected.
He decided to grab one of the bodies and his eldest daughter grabbed the other one following her father. She mentioned that the bodies they found showed no signs of decompasition, or rotting at all, almost like something was preventing them from decaying. Scientifically speaking this should be impossible, but Ra's Al Ghul would not let those thoughts deter him from his goal, as he told his daughter that they needed to prepare the bodies to be submerged in the waters of the Lazarus Pit, and once these two have been revived they will finally learn the secrets held by these two ancient sages.
"Father this borders on lunacy, you do realize that there is no reason why these two men would share their secrets with us, they would have no incentive to even listen to our request, much less do as we asked, if these two are powerful as they seem, it is more likely that they will consider us enemies and thus we would have unleashed what could be our worst possible enemies." He looked upon his daughter and realized that what she said was possible but he rather imagine these two men would be easily tricked since they had been buried so long in the past, they couldn't be as intelligent as he was after all.
Talia knew better than to argue with her father and as the dutiful daughter she was, she obeyed her father, even if she secretly believe this could end up biting them on the ass later. The method they used to lower the bodies into the Lazarus pit was as primitive as could be, they lowered the body using a mechanical platform and gear system, that lowered the body into the waters and later would retrieve said body by raising the platform. In ancient times this was done through a pulley system, but thanks to modern equipment they could use motors to do the actual lowering and rising of the platform.
The floor of the platform was a metallic mesh that allowed the waters from the pit to bathe anything on the platform as the surface lowered deeper into the waters of the pit. However they had to work fast and efficiently, leave the bodies too long in the pit's waters and the mind would be destroyed by the rage and lust for violence, the second part is that the body of whoever was in those waters would begin to become younger as more time the person spent in those waters.
In other words, spend too little and the body will fail to properly revive, causing the death of the person, due to the body not receiving the proper amount of these beneficial waters, spend too long however, and the person's mind would be utterly destroyed, or worse the body could end up being no better than an infant. Ra's Al Ghul wanted the skills and knowledge of these two dead sages, the last thing he wanted was to lose that knowledge by either one of these outcomes, if their minds were destroyed it would be no better than destroying a treasure vault, and if they are too young, they will be far too young to understand anything they ask of them, hence unable to share their secret knowledge and skills.
The minute these two bodies were lowered into the waters of the Lazarus Pit, the bodies began to react in much the expected way and everything was supposed to go right except for some reason after a few minutes the men kept trying to pull the platform and no matter how many times their minions tried to pull up the platform it felt like it was stuck and for some reason they couldn't move it up no matter what. These minions were working hard to try and get the two bodies which should be finished resurrecting out of the water and for some reason, the platform would simply not move at all.
The minions apologized to their leader saying that something apparently made the platform get stuck in place, but no matter how much they attempted to get the platform to come up, something made the platform stick to that position, and no matter how much they tried the platform would not release. Ra's Al Ghul was not happy to hear this knowing that keeping them in those waters could essentially ruin his plans. Seeing the desperation and fearing how her father would react to this situation, Talia decided to jump in and try to get the platform to come loose and no matter how much she tried to do that, and no matter how angry she became influenced by the waters the platform simply refused to move to see that she could not stay there for any longer without it affecting her too much, her father decided to get his hand's dirty and jumped right into the pit trying to push the platform free.
Ra's Al Ghul could swear that someone was holding the platform in place like it was being held down by the very first of the Roman god of strength because no matter how much he attempted to move the platform it would simply not budge, and he was one of the people who designed this particular platform so nobody would know it as well as he did. It was only after Ra's Al Ghul decided that this was simply a misfortunate turn of events and that no matter what they did, the results were going to end up the same way, as he jumped out of the pit and was given a towel by his daughter he could not help but to be angry at the potential loss this would cause him and his league of shadows.
In an almost comical fashion however, the minute that he accepted that his plan could end up in failure regardless of how much he may wish to prevent it, the platform came loose and rose like it was supposed to, almost like the thing holding the platform before was merely testing his patience or his acceptance that his plan could actually fail. Ra's Al Ghul was not happy to feel like he was a young punk being tested by an older relative and so he focused rather on how badly did having the two bodies stuck in the water of the pit for so long had affected them.
Much to his shock the much anticipated effect had actually taken effect and for some reason, the two individuals whom he wished to resurrect and have them share with him their knowledge and skills they looked like kids who were about to become teenagers, but the weird thing is that they were talking in a language that neither Ra's Al Ghul nor his daughter could identify, to Talia it sounded like the chirping of birds This means that no matter if they somehow managed to resurrect them, they were either from a time where the current language they were using was unknown to these two kids, or the fact is their minds had regressed to the point that they had no ability to understand language or communicate with others.
"Daughter it seems that these two were resurrected but not without some major setbacks, as far as I can tell these two who should have been revived as adults are now brats, and what makes matters worse is that these brats clearly have no ability or knowledge to understand our language, so we will have to educate these two brats so they can eventually be able to talk with us, otherwise gaining the wisdom we sought from these so-called sages will be an impossible task, and I refuse to let this be my first failure."
As soon as Talia heard this she immediately began to coordinate with the other members of the league and found out that they could place these two in one of their training camps, but this would mean they were going to be sent on a plane to another continent away from their current location. Talia did not wish to decide this without first consulting her father, and she knew that if she had made that decision of her own accord, then the chances the punishment she would receive from her father would be even more painful than she imagined.
"Very well Talia I approve, having these two sent to that island training facility would mean they could be assigned permanent tutors and instructors which would facilitate their mental rehabilitation. The sooner these two can learn to speak and understand our language the sooner we shall gain the fabled sage's knowledge which we seek." Talia was happy to see her father was not as furious as she had expected him to be after spending so much time in the waters of the Lazarus Pit. She immediately called for the plane to be prepared and the crew that would take them to the island training facility were called.
The plane from the outside it looked like one of the old bomber planes used during that last world war, but in reality, the place was much more sophisticated than that, only the exterior remained the same but the inside of the place had undergone some major upgrades, almost like they were rushed the crew of the plane got ready and within minutes the plane took off over the vast waters of the sea. Unknown to them Sasuke and Naruto were merely pretending not to understand them as they were still trying to figure out where they were and why were they the way they found themselves.
As they soared above the vast expanse of international waters, the crew believed that steering clear of any nation's airspace would ensure a covert journey to their destination. However, their plan required a detour from the intended flight path, which felt peculiar, as if an external force had intervened. Regardless of who or what caused it, the consequences were dire for the men on board. Failing to deliver the two individuals to their assigned location within the specified timeframe was akin to a death sentence, for they were well aware that their leader would show no mercy.
Little did they know that at the time they had to fly and out of nowhere the plane was hit by a barrage of lightning bolts each hitting the engines and even the wings, causing the entire crew to realize they needed to perform a crash landing but the only place they could be an unknown island that was not even marked on any of their maps, this was truly an unknown place, but if they failed to land the two people they carry would die, and this would make their leader so furious that not only their lives would be forgotten but he would stop at nothing to kill every single person the crew members consider family. To the crew, it made no sense however that no matter how many lightning bolts struck the plane, the area where these two kids were placed was not getting damaged at all.
Some of the crew joked that maybe the reason these two brats are so valuable to their leader was due to them being force sensitive and they were the children of Jedi who lived in exile, one of the crew members punched the guy who said this in the shoulder and told him to put all those Star Wars fantasies out, they need to land the plane and make sure the brats survived, or none of their families would. The captain of the ship made it clear, in the end, he didn't give a shit about the safety of the brats, he cared only about those he considered close to him, and thus if it means that he needs to kill the other crew to make sure those two brats survive, he would do so without any hesitation.
The plane crashlanded on the island beach, in a spectacular fashion as it came raining down from the sky as a giant fireball, nobody survived it was the quick actions of both Naruto and Sasuke that allowed them to use a technique they knew well to travel to the ground before the plane actually managed to burst into flames, and the only reason they could is that the side of the plane they were sitting on burst open allowing them to see the ground.
"Well now we are stuck on an unknown island and who knows where the hell we are, honestly Naruto I keep telling you the way those lightning bolts hit the plane it reminds me of a lightning jutsu being thrown at someone, it felt almost like they were aimed." Naruto looked at his friend and said it didn't matter in the end, it was thanks to the damage caused by those lightning strikes that they could now escape the clutches of the people that held them, the real question was why they were this young again.
Sasuke looked at himself and Naruto and began to laugh remembering Kakashi and how he used to talk, saying that if this was having them live through a second childhood this was a sick joke, cause he did not find the situation funny at all. Naruto knew that they needed a place to rest and collect their thoughts, so using creation of all things he made two sleeping bags and a few things they would need to camp out, but they clearly could not do so near the place where the flaming wreckage of the plane was. They found that there was a heavy forest, with some rather lively and some might say aggressive animals, so after they set up camp in a place that reminded them of the Forest of Death, they quickly killed the animals that attacked them, and using a wind cutter butcher them to pieces.
Sasuke used his fire breathe jutsu to roast and bake the pieces of animal flesh they got from the animals that had tried to attack them, to Sasuke it was only fair, they tried to make a meal out of them, it was only fair they got to do the same thing. They ate their meal and Naruto told Sasuke that the island felt strange. It had an abundance of nature chakra running through it but somehow it felt like no one was tapping into it at all. Sasuke told Naruto in a fit of laughter that it should be obvious that only sages could access and use Nature Chakra so it was only natural that most people were unable to do that. It takes considerable patience and training to be able to harness it and he quickly reminded him what happens to people who gather too much of it, making Naruto finch as he remembered seeing all the large toad statues and remembering being hit on the head with that stick to draw any excess Nature Charka he collected during his time training.
Naruto was indignant that he had heard Sasuke bring that up saying that his learning to become a sage could not have been that different from the way he learned from the Toad Mountain Clan. Sasuke continued to roast the pieces of animal flesh and looked at his friend with a smirk, as he told Naruto that his training with the Serpent Sage was actually quite lovely, the clan was both very welcoming and very tender, so no, he was never once hit on the head with a stick at all. He laughed and said that his faithful ten tails companion would have told him all about the wonderful time he had learning with her clan.
Naruto looked at his friend almost like cooking that meat was a way to divert his thinking from something utterly unpleasant. "And where is your companion then? I know Kurama is not with me, more than likely she came out the minute I supposedly died of old age, but where is your companion, your companion does not exactly have the same effect as mine had regarding time and space, so where is your companion?"
Sasuke clearly was upset hearing Naruto say this and told him, that unlike him, he did not keep his companion locked inside his mindscape thanks to a seal, his companion could enter and leave at her discretion, and so more than likely when he too died of old age, which should be something people should consider a great achievement, she more than likely left, but since they don't know where they are, there is no way to find his companion and she can't find them either. That is when Naruto asked him why does he kept cooking all the meat from the animals that had attacked them to which made Sasuke laugh as he saw his friend eating one of the pieces of cooked meat.
Sasuke simply nibbled on one of the pieces of meat that was not as cooked as the others and smiled at Naruto, "Naruto even if you choose to ignore them, it is rude to eat and not invite those that are keeping an eye on us. I can sense no less than four people around this area keeping an eye on us, and I know that all of them are women thanks to the way the air vibrates when they talk to each other."
Naruto looked at Sasuke who accused him of leaving that cooked meat, basically making Jerky for these four women to find when they were finally able to sleep. "Ashura you may have forgotten the teachings and lessons of our father, but I have not, these four could have easily launched an attack and tried to kill us if they really wanted to, they outnumber us after all, the fact that they did not means they are friendly, so a little show of hospitality is a good gift for such consideration."
Naruto glared at Sasuke as he heard him say, "I don't want to hear that from you Indra, do I need to remind you how you dealt with the water problem of that one village, you killed anyone who stood in your way of solving the problem, I worked with several villages to come up with a way so we all prosper, so don't you dare say you are more diplomatic than I am, you were once a warmonger and you damn well know it."
Sasuke looked at his friend throwing what he called a temper tantrum, "War is something that will always happen, it can not be avoided, and it will happen no matter how many times people attempt to avoid it, if two people find an orchard full of fruit trees more than likely they will fight over the ownership of it rather than discuss how they can all benefit, it is sad but simple as that."
Naruto called this more bullshit that is said just to justify his twisted idea that peace was nothing more than a lie, and Sasuke told him, throughout history the different ages were not marked by discoveries or great accomplishments but rather by the wars that happened, so peace is a lie, and the time between wars is a brief and precious moment of rest before the fighting continues. "Peace is a lie, in the end, there is only Passion. We fight to defend that which we are passionate about, and we are motivated by our passions, through that motivation we gain strength, and through that strength, we gain wisdom and power, with that power we gain victory over those who oppose us or would do us harm, and so by following and nurturing our passion we are free to live."
Twisted philosophy that once took the teachings of their father, made Sasuke into a puppet of a monster, and turned those teachings into things that kill people on mass. Not exactly a very peaceful way of thinking, Sasuke was quick to mention that his using the Flight of the Thunder God to slaughter hundreds of enemy ninjas in a matter of seconds was not that peaceful either. "We argued about this till we turned gray and old, and we still can not settle this argument, so instead why don't you just invite those ladies and hand them the food you prepared rather than leaving it for them to find later."
Sasuke mentioned that the only reason he was not doing that was because they probably found the way they were arguing to be both amusing and adorable. Sasuke motioned to him and told him they did not exactly look old enough to be anywhere other than the ninja academy, so there was no reason to be embarrassed anything they did would be perceived as cute in some manner or form. As a father of two, Sasuke told Naruto he should already be used to that.
"Fine, but I ain't sitting here waiting for them to come get the food and eat it when it is cold, so we both know you four are there so might as well come over, and take the food my idiot cousin here made, before it gets cold." Four women wearing armor stopped hiding when they heard that and quickly walked over to the campfire that Sasuke and Naruto had made to cook their food. One had long blonde hair and the other had long black hair that reminded Sasuke of his mother for some strange reason.
The four women quickly noticed that near the camp there were five heavily mutilated corpses, more than likely it was these five men who had actually killed the monsters that later would be cooked by the two young boys whom they were meeting. It was strange these men seemed to have fought to protect these boys against the monsters with little to no regard for their own lives, which was strange to them coming from men. The second thing they noticed was that these two young boys were apparently talking in a language that made them sound like birds, which they found rather interesting that they apparently knew the ancient language, but not the one they were currently talking in.
"You have nothing to fear from us, I am the Queen of the Amazons my name is Hippolyta, and this is my sister, Antiope, the two young women that came with us, one is my daughter Diana, and her instructor Artemis. We see that you prepared the food using the bodies of the monsters those men killed but would you mind telling us how you ended up on our island?" Naruto and Sasuke attempted to tell her but still the only thing they heard from them was bird noises, that is when out of nowhere an elderly gentleman showed up wearing the robes of a sage.
"Ah, you must excuse them, they simply do not know your language and have always preferred talking using the language of birds for some reason, these two are the reincarnation of my sons, one is the reincarnation of my eldest Indra, and the other is the reincarnation of my youngest named Ashura." Both Sasuke and Naruto looked at the man who said that with an indignant look on their face and said to him that he forgot to mention their sister, Kurama. The man quickly began to laugh and smiled at the Amazon queen, "And my sons have reminded me to mention their sister Kurama, so you see I understand what they are saying. Believe me, my two boys are good boys they would never do things to bring shame to our family, now would you boys?"
Hippolyta must have found it rather funny because to her it sounded like a father was scolding and lecturing his two troublesome sons. "As to why they are here, they were taken hostage by a rather ruthless and evil group, and they were transporting them to another place where I fear they planned to use my sons to raise them and train them to be used as weapons for the malicious goals. Lucky however Zeus and the other Gods of the Greek Pantheon decided to interfere causing their plane to crash, and the five dead that were near their camp did indeed protect them from the monsters however they did so with the ulterior motive of keeping them safe so that their leader may use them as child soldiers or for his sick experiments."
Diana only had one question for the man, what was his name, he apologized for his rudeness of not introducing himself, as he bowed before the queen, her sister, and the two young women, "My name is Hagoromo Ĺtsutsuki, I been called by many the father of the way of the ninja, otherwise known as the sage of the six paths, and god to all shinobi, I also came because Zeus and his pantheon asked me to tell you their wishes, they wish for my two sons to be adopted, I will leave the decision of who wishes to adopt which one of my boys, the only thing I ask is that they are raised in loving care and trained to be good and honorable young men. As a father my deepest wish has always been for my sons to be happy."
Hippolyta walked over to the one with blonde hair and said she would adopt him as she asked Hagoromo that boy's name, he laughed and said his name was Naruto, and her sister Antiope and said she would adopt the other brother but only asked what his name actually was, Hagoromo smiled and said his name is Sasuke. "The fact that you can't understand what they are saying is problematic, so let me solve that for you." He quickly made a few hand signs and at the end, he placed his hands on the foreheads of both Naruto and Sasuke, they knew exactly why he was doing this, and decided to play along.
"So these ladies will be our mothers? I am sorry that we did not introduce ourselves before, so I guess this means the young woman named Diana is going to be my big sister, but how many siblings will I have." This made Hippolyta laugh as she heard Naruto asked that and she quickly mentioned that he also has a big brother named Jason but he is already old enough to be sent to do work in other countries so he is currently traveling.
Diana for some reason apparently liked the idea that she was getting two younger brothers till Antiope mentioned that was not correct she was getting one little brother, named Naruto and the other one was a younger cousin by the name of Sasuke. "Once we get back home, I think we should get two people to begin training my son and his cousin in various things they will need, of course, Hagoromo you are more than welcome to come and visit your boys, I am not as heartless as to want to separate a man from his beloved children. I would also like to ask you about your knowledge and wisdom, maybe they could help make my amazons even stronger, I fear that will be necessary as the danger of invasion from the world of men still looms on our horizon."
