Naruto (R) Evolution
Chapter 02

Kingdark: Previously, I said that I didn't have anything left that was already written. I was mistaken. Thankfully for you, it hasn't made it in this chapter just yet. That means that I have a 'goal' to work towards. Be happy about it.

Summary so far…
Seventh Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto died after attempting to defend his village from a real honest to God alien invasion. After Naruto died, he expected to be reunited with the people who died before him except that didn't happen. A being that took the appearance and the first name of the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi informed Naruto that he was one of a few that fit a highly specific criteria and that he was needed to fight an enemy that even with the combined might of all of the most powerful chakra users past and present wouldn't be able to touch, let alone actually hurt. Fake-Hiruzen then offered Naruto some options that would give Naruto a higher chance but this didn't come without a price to pay.

Eventually, after making his decision, Naruto woke up on an abandoned island as a sixteen year old girl. Naruto knew that had been a possibility but it was one thing to read about it but it was something else to actually experience it. Naruto managed to ignore his gender malfunction for the moment and after some doing he managed to cross the water, find a hotel room that hadn't been rented and allowed himself to fall asleep.
TBC…

Note: As I said before, Naruto is and will remain to think of himself as a guy because that's who he IS. He will refer to himself as male in as many situations as possible. However OTHER people will refer to Naruto as a girl because that's what his CURRENT gender currently is. That gender is NOT permanent however as you should already know if you read the prequel and I already hinted at that in the previous chapter as well.

I, the author am just human though and if I miss a pronoun (I think that's the right term) and mix he and she in the wrong situations then please tell me in what sentence I missed it. Don't just say, you mixed it up because that's worthless to me. Naruto's name will remain Naruto though unless he's infiltrating or something. I don't like it much when Naruto is given another name.

This chapter will also hint at why Kurama hasn't made an appearance as of yet…

Please enjoy the story!

Naruto (R) Evolution
Chapter 02
00 What do you mean there are no AnBu here!? 00
Complications only become more complicated…
First world: Marvel
Current location: Hotel room in some random hotel in New York City

Naruto groaned again as he slowly woke up. "Why do I feel like this happened before?" He muttered to himself. He slowly opened his eyes and took in his current location. "Where am I? What's going on?"

"You don't remember boss?" A clone spoke up. Naruto recoiled in surprise and then the memories hit him with the full force of a tsunami and he nearly passed out again. Nearly.

"Yhea, I remember now." He muttered. "Got one hell of a headache too."

"Kurama not doing anything about it?" The clone half asked half stated.

"Actually… I haven't heard anything about Kurama now that I think about it. Maybe he's still asleep or something… Give me a moment and make sure to keep the door locked. In fact, place a seal on the door to keep it shut and give us enough time to get out of here if the cleaning crew visits here or something."

The clone didn't bother to answer because Naruto prime (the real Naruto) had already closed his eyes only to flinch back violently a few moments later.

"Boss! What's wrong?" The same clone from earlier asked worriedly.

"The seal kicked me out before I could get to it. Violently. I don't…" Naruto trailed off and then shook his head. "Never mind, I'll simply try again. It took me by surprise."

"Just be careful… Boss." The clone said again but once more, Naruto had already closed his eyes. Only to be flinch back again but even more violently then the first time.

"Son of a bitch!"

"Maybe you should just leave it for now boss." The clone offered. "Remember that Kurama can leave the seal whenever he wants to right? Maybe he got out by accident and he can't find us? This place seems like it's pretty big…"

"That… That makes sense." Naruto acknowledged. "It may explain why the seal expels me rather violently."

"Alright, thanks." Naruto muttered and then with a half seal, he dismissed all the clones that were currently active. He closed his eyes and let the memories and thoughts settle back. It took him several minutes before they settled down. The Kage bunshin was his favourite technique but the potential of it going past its intended purpose scared him at times. The clones were him and would never do things that he would never do but… He still remembered that nightmare he had had, so many years ago. (1)

"Okay, I need to get out of here, but first… I need to face reality and really look into a mirror and take a shower." If that wouldn't force him to face his new situation then he didn't know what would.

"Thank god that I'm sixteen though. I can't imagine what I would've done if I had been any younger or worse, if I had been a pre-teen." He shuddered. Nobody would have taken him seriously and if the complication had any say on it, they wouldn't take him too seriously even now!

Naruto pushed those thoughts away and created two new clones. Before she opened the door she remembered something.

"Am I remembering it right that you clones remained males for the entire time you were active? A time that was definitely longer a san hour?"

The two clones looked at her and seemed to think for a moment.

"Yes, the first one agreed immediately."

"Yhea but…"

"But..?" Naruto prompted.

"It could be that we weren't forced back because you don't know how you look like."

"That's… Not entirely right." Naruto said while shaking her head. "I do have the memories of you clones and they helped me over the water and they looked at me plenty of times."

"That may be true, but you still think of yourself as a guy, WE think of ourselves as a guy even though that isn't accurate anymore for you so.. That could mean that us clones are an exception to the rule or… Or it could be that once you have showered and really looked at yourself that we will be changed as well."

Naruto considered that and shrugged. "Well, whatever may be the case, I can't just NOT shower. I stink and I'm dirty damn it."

The clone was not in a situation where it could force Naruto to do something else so it just shrugged and turned its back at the apparent dismissal.

Naruto just shrugged and opened the door and couldn't suppress a whistle at the impressive bathroom. Naruto didn't hesitate to strip himself of his clothes and well, once he stood naked in the bathroom he confirmed that he no longer had IT between his legs. Naruto decided then and there that he would try to ignore it as much as he could.

"I really WAS a bit hasty when picking that complication." Naruto said to himself. He then turned the shower on and washed himself as quickly as possible. Ignoring all the sensations that it gave him. Once he was clean enough he quickly dried off and by the time was ready, he felt refreshed and fully charged.

"I wonder if I could just leave through the front door?" Naruto said to himself with a mischievous smile. But then he shook his head and decided that no, it was best to not tempt fate. Better to just leave through an alternate way. He couldn't afford to get into trouble. He had money and papers so that wasn't a problem but he had chosen this expensive looking suit BECAUSE it was expensive looking and less likely to be rented.

Naruto didn't want to seem too ungrateful though so he cleaned the place up to make it look like nobody had been here. He never had been that good in cleaning up and he knew it was far from perfect. Satisfied with himself that he had at least made an effort, Naruto opened the window only to nearly smack into a guy dressed up in red and blue suit.

"What the hell?" Naruto said. He had nearly lost his balance and even though he had fallen from higher places, he still couldn't afford to get too much attention to himself. Shaking his head, Naruto just ignored the babbling of the other guy and looked to the other side of the street and if he could make it or not.

Naruto realized that he wouldn't be able to make it, it would be too far as he was now. It probably wouldn't be much of a problem in Sage mod or even with Kurama giving him a boost but as he was at the moment he couldn't. So he decided to go down and then blend in with the crowd. Naruto looked up in irritation as he realized that the guy he had bumped into was still talking to him but his tone had changed.

Naruto snorted, the guy probably thought he was going to kill himself and for a normal human that would probably be true. Not for him though.

Naruto also realized that this guy had SEEN him and that this would be a problem for later. It meant that he had to stay low for a while because he hadn't exactly paid for the hotel room in question. Thinking quickly, Naruto bashed the guy into the hotel room hard enough for him to nearly loose his balance and then Naruto ran as fast as he could. To HELL with subtlety, he needed to get out of here. If this guy was part of the local AnBu then the rest were sure to be on his tail!

Naruto tried to blend in with the crowd but the guy, was hot on his tail still yelling something at him.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" He shouted and then he ran even faster. Through the traffic of those metal boxes, or rather OVER the traffic because he didn't want to hurt anyone, into the crowds, through office's and basically using every trick in the book to stop being chased.

Unfortunately, the guy was very persistent and managed to stay on his trail. Naruto realized quickly that this guy wouldn't leave him alone and since he had shown clearly he wasn't after a fight that the guy clearly was.

Naruto looked for a place that was relatively abandoned of traffic and civilians.

"Okay, if you want a fight, then a fight you will get!" Naruto shouted as he turned around. The guy, who Naruto only now noticed had chosen a spider's theme, said something back that was pretty much nonsense to Naruto's ears. It occurred to him that there may be a language barrier that would make things harder and, Naruto reflected that it might as well be THIS that pissed off that organisation.

Still, Naruto was pumped for a fight now but he wouldn't trash the guy too badly.

Naruto launched himself at the guy, kicking and punching but the man.. theme.. spider… man… Spiderman? Yhea, whatever.

Spiderman matched every kick and punch evenly. Naruto still wasn't fighting at full strength though, far from it even but he had never been the best in Taijutsu but for some… Civilian to be able to match him? Ha! That was an insult to his pride that couldn't be tolerated!

Naruto continued to up his speed and the strength of his punches and kicks until he noticed that Spiderman could barely keep up. Naruto kept it up and then he violently punched the guy down.

"Stay. Down." Naruto articulated clearly. He then pointed down in a way that anybody got to understand. Naruto turned and then hurried out of the area, keeping his guard up for if the guy should decide to follow him. He didn't.

"Good." Naruto muttered. Naruto kept to the ground and used henge to disguise himself at several intervals to throw of any pursuer until he finally allowed himself to relax.

Naruto did another pat down to confirm if he had everything with him and when he confirmed that he did, he finally allowed himself to relax. Naruto continued to walk with the crowds, listening to the conversations he realized had to be in a different language because he couldn't understand a word of it.

"That… Could be a problem." Naruto said to himself. It had also occurred to Naruto that his clothes weren't exactly normal compared to the people here so when he had used henge to disguise himself he had also changed his clothes as well.

"I can't keep henge up forever though." Well, he could but a firm shove would destroy the illusion and he would be caught in the open.

Naruto didn't notice the tiny tracker on his boots and neither did he sense it. So he could be forgiven that he also missed Spiderman tracking him from a distance. His beat down not forgotten. It was entirely coincidental that Naruto never noticed china town or the Japanese parts of the city. He was too caught up in trying to figure out what to do next.

Naruto growled as he realized he had seen this part of the city before. He was walking around in circles.

"I'm not under a genjutsu am I?" Naruto muttered. He did a low level chakra burst but nothing appeared to change. Still, Hokage or not he was still very horrible in casting genjutsu, dispelling genjutsu and recognizing he was under a genjutsu in the first place. He could dispel it if he wanted to, but that required him to realize he was under one in the first place and he had to push much more power in it than normal. Right now he couldn't do that because he had to keep a low profile.

"Alright Uzumaki, it's time to get your head in the game!" That said, Naruto entered an alley and created a dozen or so clones. Their mission would have several parts. Learn the layout of the city, try to learn some of the language and make sure that he wasn't followed by anybody. Last but not least, he had to find another place for the night. While he had money to pay for it, Naruto didn't understand the money system at present and since he was sixteen, not understanding it was pretty suspicious no matter how you tried to turn it.

Exploring the city was so he would know where to go if he had to lose another guy in red and blue. "I wonder if that sort of thing is normal around here." Naruto thought to himself. It was then that he noticed that he was passing a store that sold televisions and it was currently airing some kind of news. In it they showed off what had to be a movie or something.

"A green giant huh? That's going to be a success when it hits the public!" Naruto snickered. Then he turned and missed the clues that it was airing live and that there was no way that it could be fake.

Interlude: Kurama…
Time: Roughly ten minutes before Naruto wakes up on the island in chapter 1

Kurama woke up and found himself in a strange location. "Where am I? Is this a mutation of the seal?" Nobody cared to respond to his question but Kurama knew his host well enough to know that he wouldn't be able to resist playing a harmless joke on his expense.

"NARUTO!" Kurama bellowed. There was no indignant squawk or any amused laughter. No, the only thing he heard were the birds that flew up from the tree's cursing him for scaring them.

"Oh, shut up already you headless chickens!" Kurama shouted. Their voices getting irritating quickly. They just reacted by flying away as quickly as they could to find another place to nap on.

Kurama realized that he really was separated from Naruto and if this had happened a few years ago, he would have been very happy indeed. But he had grown close with Naruto and now he was finding it hard to just exist without anyone being there, meddling, teasing and basically nagging on his ears all the time.

"It doesn't matter." Kurama said out loud. "Sooner or later, I'll be sure to find him. Besides, I'm the all-powerful KYUUBI NO KITSUNE!" Kurama bellowed that part out as loudly as he could. "I can handle being on my own for a bit."

It was then that he realized that he had no clue where to go, what to do or how to communicate with any human directly other than Naruto.

"Knowing my luck, I'll get sealed away again just because of a misunderstanding." Kurama thought to himself but then he shook his head violently.

"No! I can't say that. That's like waving a red flag in front of a bunch of kunoichi and telling them that you're spying on them while giggling perversely… No. That's Jiraiya. Never mind."

"What the hell am I doing?" Kurama muttered. "I need to get out of here and figure out what to do and more importantly, to find Naruto himself. Maybe…"

Kurama considered the chances of Naruto sensing him if he sent out a chakra blast that would alert everybody that could sense it of his location… Within a certain distance.

"Could I chance it…? Ah, why not." Kurama followed that thought up by immediately sending out a chakra pulse that would alert everybody who could sense chakra that he was out here. Or at least that somebody was out there.

Kurama waited for a few hours but he could not sense the chakra signature of Naruto getting closer nor could he sense ANY chakra signature for that matter.

Shrugging, Kurama decided that he may as well pick a random location and start walking. Even if he had a solid body at the moment, he was still an intelligent being made out of chakra. Things such as hunger, tiredness and other bodily functions did not matter to one such as him… Good thing too because the longer he was walking around, the more lost he became.

S.H.I.E.L.D Carrier Headquarters
Time: One week later after Naruto woke up

"Report!" Nick fury demanded sharply.

"Sir?" The agent asked uncertainly.

"I got called out of my bed, because an agent made a report that was important enough to get me out of my bed on the ONE day that I allow myself to sleep in. The ONE day that I allow myself to relax. ONE day in an entire year. Now, I want that report and I swear, this report be better important enough to be equal that the third world war was stopped in its track or I…" Nick forcefully calmed him down as he realized that the agent in front of him was just a rookie. Newly hired at that.

"Sir, I have absolutely no idea what report you are talking about. I just got on duty…" The agent looked at his watch. "Ten minutes ago."

"Then why are you in this location agent?" Nick demanded. But inwardly he was frowning. Something was wrong here.

"I was ordered to come here sir. Via the internal comm system. It was an automated message."

"You're sure the message was for you?"

"I was the only one there, and it address me by name sir."

"Just return to your duty station son. I'll figure out what went wrong, but be on alert because I could have need of you again."

"Got it sir." The agent said. Then the man, turned and left.

"Nice guy." Nick thought to himself. Then he entered his office and realized he had been tricked. His office was completely trashed.

Immediately, he ran outside of his office and hit the 'red alert' button -or so the sci-fi geeks called it when they thought he wasn't listening- that should put the whole base into lock-down. Except it didn't respond. Looking into the internals, he noticed immediately that they were sabotaged but it was done in such a way that a quick glance would not reveal it.

But Nick Fury hadn't gotten to his current rank without having a few, backup plans within backup plans within backup plans within backup plans. No joke.

It was something that he had added in himself. He had never written it down and he had made sure that it wouldn't be noticed either. The only thing he needed to do was open the window in a certain order and it would send the appropriate alerts out.

Several tiring hours later…

"So you're telling me that the agent I was talking to was found in his apartment, unconscious with a drug in his system?"

"Yes sir. We also confirmed his story and have triple checked out information but the person you talked to was not him. The agent is a rookie and doesn't have the training or the experience to fool us. Maybe one of mid-level agents perhaps but only if they weren't paying attention." After all, he, Nick Fury, the head of mighty S.H.I.E.L.D had been tricked and he was probably the most senior agent of the entire organization since the moment it was created.

"I checked my office and if you ignore the fact that my office was completely trashed, nothing of importance was taken. In fact, it seems that the only reason my office was trashed was meant to be a..." Nick grimaced at the thought. "An action to make a point rather than to steal anything of worth."

"How so sir?"

"Because I found several… Pieces of graffiti that made a point of this but stated rather crudely." Nick gritted out. Nope, Nick was not a happy camper.

"I don't know who is responsible for it, but I swear that I'll get back to him or her somehow." Nick growled. "In the meantime, I want every emergency alert triple checked on a weekly basis for the entire base." That said, Nick walked into his office.

"AND GET SOMEBODY HERE TO HELP ME CLEAN UP THIS MESS DAMN IT!"

Nick knew who was responsible though. It was that blonde menace. The girl who gave Spiderman that trashing. The girl that his agents had been trying to catch so that he could talk with her. A girl who had such skilled could be very useful for S.H.I.E.L.D indeed. Based on his reports, the girl had not taken their attempt to capture her kindly. But he couldn't back off now. Not even after the warning she gave him. Nick wanted to think that she could be an ally though because she had been in a position to hurt him dearly. Politically as well as emotionally.

"I hate my job sometimes…" Nick groaned. Then his irritation got the better of him. Throwing his door open he bellowed again. "I AM NOT CLEANING THIS SHIT UP ON MY OWN! GET SOMEBODY IN HERE ON THE FUCKING DOUBLE!"

Really, how much trouble could Naruto gotten himself in, so quickly?
X

One week earlier...

"A green giant huh? That's going to be a success when it hits the public!" Naruto snickered. Then he turned and missed the clues that it was airing live and that there was no way that it could be fake.

Naruto continued to explore the city, just enjoying the walk and observing. Besides trying to find Kurama, he had nothing to do at the moment. Well, okay he supposed he could find that address but he wanted to have some fun first. Something he had little of in his life.

It was only a few hours later that Naruto noticed that he was being followed by several people. He hadn't noticed at first because it's hardly unusual to see someone twice in a row. Naruto wasn't exactly a suspicious sort, but he knew when it was just a coincidence and when someone was really out to get you. Right now, he hadn't done anything except give that guy with the spider theme -Spiderman?- a good trashing.

"I wonder how good these guys are?" Naruto thought idly. He entered a random store like he had done several times before, and created a single additional clone that had disguised itself with a simple transformation. The clone resembled how Naruto looked but had several key differences. Naruto, just browsed and when the owner began frowning partly because of her age and because she kept browsing, Naruto just picked a random piece of clothing she liked and then paid for it.

Naruto walked into the opposite direction the clone had chosen and had made a second clone to observe the first. But whoever had been following him was competent enough to have seen the difference. Naruto dismissed the two clones and upped the game of trying to losing his tail.

Thirty minutes later, Naruto had to admit to being impressed. Whoever it was that was following him, was GOOD!

"Okay, enough playing around." Naruto muttered. He followed that up by turning and heading towards his tail quickly. The man was already attempting to relocate but Naruto was having none of it.

"Okay wise-guy, care to tell me why you and those other goons have been following me around?" Too late did she remember the language barrier. To her surprise however, her captive responded slowly and carefully pronouncing his words but it was in his own language. Naruto winced as he heard how this guy butchered his language.

"Stop!" He said sharply. "Just… Stop. Get somebody here that can talk to me without butchering it get me?"

The guy looked at her without comprehension.

"Get. Me. Someone. Who. Can. Understand. Me. Properly." Naruto repeated. This time he took care to pronounce every word as slowly and clearly as he could.

His captive seemed to get the idea because he spoke a few words in his radio. Naruto hadn't allowed himself to drop his guard though. He wouldn't have taken it kindly if someone had captured one of her own AnBu.

Naruto barely dodged what appeared to be some kind of dart. Which was followed by several others.

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed. He dropped her 'captive' and decided that enough was enough. He created a hundred clones and they vanished immediately. Seconds later she got the memories that they had captured the snipers and their support crew. None of them were capable of understanding him it appeared.

Naruto made his way towards what looked to be the senior agent.

"You will leave me alone, you understand?" Naruto said clearly. "Leave. Me. Alone." Naruto stressed again.

"I don't take kindly to being followed like you're a bunch of stalkers." Naruto said again.

Then he dismissed the clones and Naruto left, but not after making a point by utterly destroying the weapons they had been using by bending the loops and making a knot in them and making it look effortless.

Naruto then simply left the building. By this time, it was beginning to get dark again, so Naruto decided that she might as well do things legally and pay for a room.

She looked around for another hotel and found one that looked decent in quality. Approaching the guy at the front, he said something she couldn't understand.

"I want a single room, for a single night." Naruto said. Pointing to the room, holding up one finger and then to herself, and also holding up a single finger.

The guy responded by saying something and making a gesture that she had to wait a for a bit. Someone else appeared from the back and he addressed him in his own language.

"Can I help you miss…?"

"Finally, someone that understands me!" Naruto couldn't help but say.

"Miss?" The guy asked confused.

"I was supposed to get picked up by a relative but he never showed. Never got told where he lived either." Naruto explained. "I couldn't stay in the same place all day, so I figured I might as well explore the city and then get in touch with my folks."

"Do you have your papers miss? Because while we pride ourselves to be of high quality on all fronts, we aren't exactly cheap either."

"Of course." Naruto agreed. "Do you always caution possible customers to change their minds about making a sale mister…?" Naruto trailed off as he handed over the necessary paperwork.

"You may call me Yusuke, Uzumaki-san." Yusuke said after having examined the papers Naruto had given him. "Your papers check out from what I can tell. Were you aware that there is an address that tells you where to go?"

Naruto had in fact known that but he hadn't wanted to go there immediately. He decided that a white lie was his best bet.

"I knew, but I forgot about it until you mentioned it just now." Naruto admitted. "I'll go there eventually though, I do have enough money to get a room for the night right?"

Naruto and Yusuke talked price, options and the amount of cash Naruto had with him at the moment.

"You do Uzumaki-san but it will take roughly half of the cash you have on hand and that's if I get you the cheapest room we have with minimal service."

The computer he worked on beeped and Yusuke stared at it for several long moments. "On second thought, it appears that money won't be an issue for you."

"I forgot that I'm supposed to have been rich! It makes sense that my name would pop up or that he would know I'm supposed to be rich... Just act nice and humble Uzumaki. No need to act like the Hyuuga at their worst."

"Just get me that room you were talking about." Naruto decided. "I'm not used to too much comfort. I just need a place to sleep."

Yusuke just nodded. "All right Uzumaki-san, do you wish to pay with cash in the morning or do you wish to charge it to your company?"

"I'll pay in cash." Naruto decided. "That won't be a problem will it?"

"It won't be, Uzumaki-san." Yusuke agreed. "Now, I have to tell you, I am currently the only employee who understand Japanese fluently and it is currently near the end of my shift. I…" Yusuke paused and seemed to struggle to find the right words.

"May I speak freely Uzumaki-san?" Yusuke asked.

In Naruto's experience, when an underling asked for permission to speak freely, you usually didn't like what they had to say. Still, once given, you couldn't use it against them. Since this guy wasn't his underling, but he was a customer, it could be considered to be sort of, kind of as being the same.

"Of course." Naruto agreed.

"Some of my colleagues are viable to… Overcharge. Especially when they find out who you are."

"You have a solution for that I take it?" Naruto observed dryly.

Yusuke swallowed nervously. "Yes… Customers of a foreign country may ask for a translator to work an extra shift. The customers pays extra for the service but the majority paid for by the hotel. We get it back through taxes..."

"You're asking me if I want you to stick around to translate for me and at the same time, earn some extra pocket money at the same time?" Naruto concluded.

"Well… Yes." Yusuke agreed.

It had occurred to Naruto that this guy could be a plant. It was clear that the guy she had 'captured' had known her language a little, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to get someone that understood it fluently and get him or her into the place she entered to try and gather more information on her. As far as Naruto could tell, he had two options. First he could deny him and nobody would look twice. He could be just a guy trying to take advantage of a profitable solution and could have nothing to do with those guys who tried to capture him.

If he denied this guy and he proved to be just a guy trying to earn a living, nothing would be lost except that extra living. But if the guy WAS a member of that organization he would try to capture him when he lowered his guard. But he wouldn't know when this would happen if he said no.

On the other hand, if he said yes, he would know where the guy was, but he would also know more about her through small talk.

"Fine. Just how more expensive is this service exactly?" Naruto asked cautiously. It was better to keep a threat were you could keep an eye on him. Besides, the opposite was true as well. This guy looked gave him the impression of a rookie trying to impress. Naruto could gather information on him as well.

"It'll cost roughly two thirds of the amount of cash you have on hand right now instead of just halve." Yusuke said calmly. "I know that's expensive but I could help you get to that address safely." Yusuke offered.

"That won't be necessary." Naruto told him. "I'll take that extra service but I want to explore the city first. I'll get to the address eventually. Do you want some cash in advance or something?"

Yusuke shook his head.

"Fine then, get me to my room already because I'm tired from my day of exploring the city."

"Follow me Uzumaki-san." Yusuke said politely. Yusuke grabbed a key from underneath the counter and led Naruto towards the elevator. Naruto though, wasn't exactly comfortable in such a small space. "Can't we take the stairs? I'm not comfortable in small spaces." Yusuke paused and Naruto knew immediately that her first thought was right. This guy was a plant.

"Of course it's only the fifth floor after all." Yusuke replied. He turned and opened the door. Naruto followed him up the stairs and made sure to keep her guard up. If this guy didn't get tired by the second set of stairs then she got at least a double confirmation.

Five sets of stairs later…

"Called it." Naruto thought smugly. Yusuke was barely out of breath. Naruto also got a feeling that he was about to walk into a trap.

"Yusuke.. How about you drop the act hmm? I know you're a plant for whatever organization those guys were working for. Since we can clearly understand each other, you can tell me what you want, I'll pay you and then I leave."

Yusuke did not appear to be surprised by his remark and responded by attacking her swiftly and viscously. "Really, do we have to do this?" Naruto complained. He matched every kick and punch effortlessly.

"I really hope that you didn't hurt any of the hotel personnel." Naruto remarked idly.

Yusuke ignored him.

"Really, is Yusuke even your real name?" Naruto asked idly. Sooner or later it would get on his nerves that none of his efforts were working. They continued to 'spar' until Naruto got tired, not of the effort but for having to go through this at all. It wasn't like he had done anything wrong!

"Enough!" Naruto snapped, she blocked one last punch and then put him in a capture hold. "I'm sure that whatever allies that are mobilizing have been watching or listening. Now, I'm not kidding when I say that I've been holding back. A lot. I'm telling you one last time. I'm leaving. You will leave me alone. I have no interests in joining your organization nor will I be pressed into joining it." Naruto threw Yusuke or whatever his name was in the hall. Naruto could sense dozens of people rushing into the hotel.

"Really, what the hell did I do to get this kind of response?" Naruto complained out loud. Walking to the nearest window, he was about to open it when several darts broke through it and it was only because of Naruto's reflexes that he hadn't been touched.

Naruto had been trying to be diplomatic. He had tried to keep his temper, but enough was enough already.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Naruto hissed angrily. Forming a seal for his favourite technique, Naruto was about to show them why he was a Kage level shinobi!

"Tajū Kage bunshin no jutsu."

The result was immediately noticeable. Hundreds of clones appeared in the hallway.

"Break the doors open of the hotel rooms, escape through the windows. Don't hurt any of the innocent bystanders unless you are given no alternative."

The clones responded by charging out of every exit they saw and Naruto simply walked back into the building and used the Tōton jutsu that pretty much made him invisible to the naked eye. Naruto wasn't sure if there were ways for these people to find a way around it, but Naruto had no intention of leaving the building, he would simply observe and slip into a room which was rented as quickly as possible. He needed to make a point. The only way to do that, was to follow these goons to their boss…

One week later…

The Naruto clone continued to walk around in the ship idly, knocking out agents whenever he got the chance, hid the body, create another clone to make it look like the agent he had just knocked out and then repeating it all over again.

"At this rate, I'm going to take the ship over." Naruto muttered. He knew that it couldn't continue of course. But he was making a point here. If the Nick Fury wanted to talk with him, then he would ask and do so politely. Naruto had a feeling that Nick wasn't exactly used being in this position and Naruto hadn't even done anything except kick a few asses….

Explanations

01: I remember that there were a number of episodes of Naruto when he was on his way to the island to confront Kurama (or something) and he experienced a big nightmares where his clones were rebelling. It's that scene I was referring to.

Henge: The direct translation is 'transformation' but it is actually a solid looking illusion. The more chakra you pump into the technique, the sturdier it gets, but generally a good shove is sufficient to remove it. There is a more powerful version of the technique that makes it a LOT harder to remove but this takes it from a simple E to D rank technique to A rank. It was discovered by Uzumaki Naruto entirely by accident that when you overpower the henge technique to a ridiculous level, it would require some serious damage before the illusion is destroyed.

Kingdark: I have a question, I have thought of a better / alternative way for Naruto's curse to work. I'm currently re-reading 'a horse for the force' and if you are familiar with Ranma at all, then I figure you'll know where I'm going with this. But if not, Ranma 1/2 is a manga / anime about a martial artist who picks up a curse that changes his gender from male to female. There's a LOT more to it than that but I figure that this might be a good alternative.

On one hand, not knowing if you are going to wake up as the opposite gender or if you're going to wake up younger -or both- is hard, but generally, it depends on the whims of the author. Me. On the other hand, if I change or mutate the curse unexpectedly so that it'll change with cold water to a different gender and then either warm water to reverse it, or perhaps twenty four hours before it can be reversed…? Something like that. I haven't decided yet, but feel free to share your opinion with a PERSONAL MESSAGE. Please do NOT answer this in your review unless you have MORE to say then that alone.

Last but not least, this chapter got a bit out of hand. I had a bit of trouble after Naruto watched that news about the green guy. Which is the Hulk obviously. So I figured I could do a different point of view. Kurama was obvious and Nick was something I couldn't resist that I thought up yesterday. The prank bit went a bit out of control but I just like it too much to do it from scratch.

No, S.H.I.E.L.D won't be the organisation that will be after Naruto. Instead, Naruto will have a… Friendly competition in pranks and outdoing one another. They aren't exactly allies but aren't enemies either. Besides there are PLENTY of… illegal organizations in the marvel universe.

And as for where Kurama is… Well… I don't know. I wanted him to 'do a Hibiki' but I'm not sure how many would understand the reference and the joke itself is a bit old already. Oh well, I still have something to work towards though so there's that at least!

Thank you for reading!
