Anti-hero/Thief Earth-09

Arrival of the Ragin' Cajun

'Why is it so cold,' someone thought to itself.

'What is this? Something is wrong,' the same someone thought they attempted to move only to find that their movement was extremely limited.

"Help," the person tried to call out for help only for the sound of cries came out.

'No. Ok Naruto think,' the now named Naruto who attempted to call out for help thought before he could attempt to do anything else, he suddenly felt weightless as he opened his eyes as he was apparently, he was being picked up.

"Hey there little Naru-chan. Its so finally nice to meet you, I'm your Okaa-san," a beautiful woman said as she held the new-born in her arms as she cooed down to him.

"What the hell," Naruto spoke aloud only for baby babble to come out, as he analysed the giant woman holding him.

"Remy come over here and meet your son," the woman called out.

Naruto could hear shuffling in the room before he locked eyes with a man with reddish brown hair.

"Hey there little one, nice to finally meet you," the one naruto assumed was Remy spoke at him.

"We a pretty good job, didn't we Mariko?" Remy turned towards the woman holding the baby.

"Look how cute he is, I just want to eat him up," Mariko said staring at her baby boy with all the love in the world.

"Definitely going to be a little heartbreaker when he's older, just like his old man."

Mariko just cut the man a side eye before returning her gaze back to her son.

"Welcome to the world Naruto Lebeau-Yashida, it is truly nice to meet you," Mariko said with tears of joy streaming down her exhausted face.

'WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" Naruto shouted in his head.

5 Years Later

Sometime had passed since Naruto's rebirth. The once named Naruto Uzumaki, now named Naruto Lebeau-Yashida, was currently sitting at kitchen table as his mother was preparing a big dinner for tonight as it was Mardi Gras which meant it was going to a big party tonight and probably for the rest of the week.

"Kaa-chan, I was wondering what made you choose Naruto as my name?" Naruto asked.

"Well Naru-chan, it came to me in a dream, while I was pregnant with you. A three eyed man with grey hair, spoke to me and told me that you would a wild maelstrom of untapped potential. It also helps that I liked the sound of the name and knew it's was unique and quickly fell in love the idea." Mariko replied whilst she was making some of the food for tonight.

"Now then go and grab your father he should be in the garden and then I need you go get ready for tonight, ok Naru-chan."

"Hai Kaa-chan," Naruto responded as he hopped down from his seat.

'I don't know why I was reborn but I'm not going to complain, dying completely sucked but I do miss having chakra,' Naruto thought to himself as went to find his old man.

Since being reborn he realised quite early on that his body didn't contain chakra initially he panicked but then came to the realisation that neither of his parents had chakra networks which was probably why he was born without it.

'I wonder if anyone else was reincarnated? Hopefully I am not the only one but without a chakra imprint to recognise it may just be impossible to find out unless they have their memories just like me.'

14 Years Later

At a local ramen stand in the middle of Jump city a tall young man could be found waiting for his seafood ramen to be served after a long few days of traveling.

Whilst he was waiting his was flicking through some old photos he had in his wallet.

The first photo was him as a child around seven years of age just after his birthday it was a photo of him and his first friend after getting into a scrap with some local kids.

'I remember that, Kaa-san was furious.' The young man thought as he looked at the photo closer spotting his missing tooth, a black eye a bloody nose and his right hand shoddily bandaged up. As he stood next to his friend Martin Waller with similar injuries.

The next photo was of his second family from Gotham in the Narrows with the five of them looking the happiest they had felt in a long time.

'Maybe I should make a few calls see if we should get the old gang together?' The young thought to himself saving that idea away for later.

The last photo he had was of him standing in between his parents before they were killed.

'This was taken on my birthday, wow this takes me back.' The man thought to himself.

'Don't worry Kaa-chan and Pops I will find the people responsible.'

Before he could think more on the matter a bowl was placed in front of him containing his food.

'Man, I wonder where she was today,' the young man thought to himself about the person he was supposed meet up with in Jump.

"Whatever I'll find her later, right now food." The man said to himself before breaking apart a pair of chopsticks, to begin eating.

"Itadakima-, The young man would have continued but he was interrupted by something interesting.

"Hey man, did you hear those Hive five were brought into the precinct today, by the titans," A brunette woman in her police uniform spoke to her colleague as they walked into the stand.

'Hive five, didn't Jill say she was at some school for villains of something,' the young man thought to himself.

"I'm telling you Valentine, those delinquents are so much hassle, just a bunch of freaks if you ask me. They should be locked up and have the key thrown away," the other cop responded.

"Excuse me mon ami," the young man said to the officers to grab their attention while putting on a charming smile.

Both of the officers turned towards the sound of the voice.

"Can we help you, sir," the female officer asked before looked up at the man wearing sunglasses inside.

'Weird,' the male cop thought as he noted that this young man was wearing sunglasses inside.

The cop began to analyse the young man in front of him as he conversed with his colleague.

He had spikey red reaching to the nape of his neck. He was Caucasian with some Asian features.

'Maybe he is mixed race, but that accent he sounds like he from Louisiana maybe?'

'He is quite tall just shy of six foot if I had to guess and quite muscular from what I can see, maybe he is an athlete.' The female cop thought as she eyed up the young man, she was talking to the red head in standing near to her and her partner.

As the male cop continued to analyse him, he noted that he was wearing a black tee shirt with two orange stripes converging down the middle, grey combat trousers with some brown knee-high boots. The young man was also wearing a dark brown trench coat with a few silver bracelets gleaming on his left wrist from underneath his coat and black fingerless gloves.

"Yes, you certainly can ma cher, I was looking for the closest police station, I would like to report a crime. Would you kindly point me in the right direction," the young man smirked completely ignoring the male officer for now and handed the female officer a napkin as she pulled out a pen.

"What kind of crime," the male officer piped up, only you be ignored

After the female officer jotted down the address on a napkin and handed it to the young man.

As soon as he received the napkin, he tucked it into his jacket pocket.

"Now this wouldn't happen to be in the same police station that those big bad Hive teens are right?" the young questioned once more.

"erm yeah," the female officer stated with small smile.

To her colleague she looked completely smitten with this out of town southerner.

"Why do you want to know," the male officer said with suspicion lacing his tone only to be ignored once more.

"For my meal, Old man, these two are paying." The young man called out to the chef in the back.

The young man turned around and slammed some money on the stand table before walking out the entrance.

"Huh," the male cop said in confusion as he eyed the five-dollar bill placed on his table before is started to glow a luminescent violet colour. As he turned around to face the suspicious red head.

The young man paused as the entrance of the stand before turning around making eye contact with the male cop and slightly pulled down his glasses showing of his unique red eyes with black sclera and his fingertips glowing the same colour as the five-dollar bill on the table.

"Because, mister officer us freaks got to stick together, right?" the young man said before exiting the stand.

The glowing cash he placed in front of the duo began glowing a bright purple colour and after a moment then exploded in a bright colour temporally blinding the occupants of the stand. Once the light had died down all of the people in the stand, were unconscious while the young man began whistling a tune as he pulled out a mobile phone and started dialling a number as he started to make his way to the police station.

"Yo, Junior it's me. You still based in Jump, I got a job for some of ya boys," the Louisiana native spoke on the phone.

Around thirty minutes had passed and the young man from Louisiana found himself on a top a building across the street from the police station.

"Well now this should be fun," the older teen said aloud as he looked down onto the police station.

The young man took a couple of footsteps backwards before being he began emitting a purplish light from his skin, before running to the edge of the building and leaping off of it.

During his short flight the young man pulled out a collapsible bo staff before twirling it above his head, channelling some of his power through it and just as he was about to land he slammed one end of the staff into the ground, causing a small but powerful pulse of kinetic energy cratering the concreate along with blowing the doors of the police station off of the hinges.

Before the dust can settle the young man walked through the now busted doors and stepped a few cops on the floor that got caught up in that attack.

"Right then boys and girls," the young man slammed his staff into the ground once more but with no power behind it.

The police officers not caught up in his attack all pulled out their pistols and aimed towards the entrance where the voice was coming from.

As the dust began to finally settle, they could see who was crazy enough to attack a police station, this is not Gotham after all.

"Now that I have your attention," the young man said as he held three glowing playing cards in right hand as he leant on his staff.

The young leant forward slightly dropping his sunglasses to the tip of his nose revealing completely black eyes, smouldering red irises.

"Two things where is your evidence lock up and where are your meta holding cells," the young man said with a cocky smirk adorning his face like he had already gotten away with this.

"GO TO HE-" one the police officers tried shout out in defiance only to receive a explosive kinetically charged playing card to the chest blasting him into a wall before sliding down to the crumpled over.

"I'm sorry mon ami you were saying." The young man taunted before charging to engage them up close before the rest of the officers had a chance to react to their colleagues' position.

JCPD Midtown Police Station

A little bit deeper in the bowels of the police station in the meta human holding cells below the precinct the group known as Hive 5, were currently lounging in individual cells in the meta wing of the lockup with meta dampeners installed in the ceiling of each cell.

A police officer was checking on the meta wing walking from cell to cell checking on the prisoners.

"First off the list Baran Flinders aka Mammoth, secure." The police officer said as peered into the cell containing the behemoth of this meta gang.

"How's it going freak," the cop taunted from a safe distance feeling completely safe with dampeners active and working.

Inside the cell Mammoth just growled at the puny cop from within his cell.

"Next Selinda Flinders aka Shimmer. Hmm how did a cutie like you come from the same gene pool as that freak." The cop flirted and taunted at the same time, as he looked the Caucasian red head sitting in her cell.

"Fuck off, creep." Selinda spat out as she could hear her brother getting more riled up.

The cop smiled a smug grin, before ticking next the girls name on his list before moving on to the next cell.

"Well if it isn't the foul-mouthed runt of the group," the cop mouthed of insulting the Hive's resident genius.

"Eat shit and die pig fucker," the prisoner shouted from his cell.

"That's Mikron 'O' Jeneus aka Gizmo, secure," the cop laughed as he ticked against the name on his list.

"Now last but not least," the cop paused in front of the final occupied cell. "Jill Manx aka Jinx, the exotic beauty of this rag tag group of losers. Are you sure you don't want to spend a night with me? I'll make sure you taken care of," the cop finished with a wink, as he creepily eyed up the half Indian girl with exotic pink cat eyes and black and pink hair just passing her shoulders.

"Piss off pedo," Jill snapped at the creep wishing she could hex the man to death.

The cop's face turned into a snarl at the disrespect but before he could say anything there was a massive explosion upstairs which shook the entire room.

"What the crud is going on," Mikron stated as several more explosion went off upstairs.

The cop went over to the stair well that led to the upstairs and just as he reached the top there was a flash of a pinkish purple light and then the door was blown off its hinges smashing into cop launching him down the stairs and into the closest wall as he landed with a sickening crunch.

As the smoke began to settle the footsteps could be heard. Approaching the imprisoned Hive.

"Seriously cher I've been in town a day and you get yourself busted," a voice said through the smoke, a voice very familiar to Jill.

"Cajun? Is that you?" Jill questioned as she recognised that southern drawl.

"You betcha Jinxxy. Now hold on a minute while I bust you out," the Cajun said as he looked around before zoning in on his target the power box for the meta dampeners.

The Cajun simply drew a playing card from his coat pocket.

"hmm four of clubs," the Cajun stated simply before activating his powers causing his fingertips and the card to glow brightly in a violet like colour before he launched the card at the power box blowing it up and shutting off the dampeners.

With access to their abilities the imprisoned four quickly bust out of their cells and stood in front of their saviour.

"The names Gambit and I come bearing gifts," the now named Gambit place a sack on the floor and opened it up revealing some of the Hive's gear that was in lock up.

"Now before you ask more questions, Jinx already knows me, and I wasn't exactly subtle busting in here, so how bout' we get outta here no?" The Cajun suggested.

As the teens began making their way through the police station, they were impressed by amount damage caused by the southern red head as cops were scattered around on the floor, or imbedded in walls, and the precinct itself looked like its now a rundown derelict building ready for decommission.

As they got outside, they saw more unconscious cops scattered around the foyer.

"Why aren't those crud munching titans here yet surely they would have been alerted," the shortest of the Hive stated in surprise.

"Well, this ain't my first tussle with gator in the bayou, half pint," The Cajun stated simply.

"What?" was the collective response from the three of the Hive members.

"He means he ain't an amateur, and since he is not an amateur you wold have gotten us a fast way out of, here right?" Jinx stepped up.

"Of course, cher," the Cajun said as he placed his fingers in his mouth and blew out a high pitch whistle.

After waiting a few moments, a lorry pulled around the corner and into the courtyard.

"I believe our ride has arrived," the Cajun said before back of the lorry opened up and two of Juniors goons hopped out of the back.

"Tell Junior he will have his money transferred within the hour we reach the safe house." The Cajun stated simply before he and the rest of Hive hopped in the back off the lorry while the two goons went to join the driver.

Later that evening the pulled into a warehouse in the jewellery quarter. As the Hive hopped out of the lorry.

The Cajun looked around and noted that the agreed upon location was not as empty as originally agreed.

Upon exit of the lorry the Hive and Cajun found themselves surrounded by a bunch of Junior's goons armed with assault rifles and blades.

"Well now this is a surprise, I didn't ever think Junior would have balls to pull something like this," the Cajun said simply.

One of the goons stepped forward.

"Ha Junior wouldn't mess with you he is scared of ya, but I ain't and I don't care what the rumours say about you. The bounty on your head is too big to pass up," the head goon said in a cocky tone thinking this was all over.

"So, you're after bounty on my head so that means you know who I am and what I've done but you don't believe it.," the Cajun stated.

"You are nothing but hype."

"I don't think you brought enough manpower to take me down boyo," the Cajun taunted as looked around and counted 21 goons surrounding them including the loudmouth.

The Hive watched on getting ready to intervene on their leader's orders. They were villains but the Cajun busted them out and they weren't going to leave him hanging.

"Jinx just say the word and well tear these tools apart," Selinda suggested as she was not a fan of guns being pointed at her.

"You heard Shimmer, we got your back," Jinx said towards one of her oldest friends.

"Jinx don't do nothing I gots this," the Cajun stated simply before stepping forwards.

"They are just here to witness me take you down and keep your friends from interfering," the head goon snarled.

The head goon stepped forward ripping off his suit jacket and shirt revealing a highly muscular individual along with a cybernetic right arm.

"Well now this is interesting, ain't that right mon ami?" The Cajun said with a smug grin. as he walked right up to the head goon having to look slightly upwards as the goon was slightly taller than his own 5'11 frame.

'He is mocking me!' the head goon thought to himself as his face began to take on a certain shade of red.

The bigger of the two men lost his cool first and began launching a flurry of punches with cybernetic arm.

While Gambit just placed his hands behind his back and dodging left and right with nothing but practiced ease. To the rest of the Hive it looked like the delusional goon was trying to punch air. The goon continued to push forward with wild swings.

'Well this is disappointing,' Gambit thought to himself before deciding to go on the offensive.

The goon threw a couple more punches before Gambit ducked out incoming path of a wild haymaker and side stepped the thug before sticking his foot out tripping the goon over.

"That's enough of that, you are simply not on my level p'tit boug," Gambit said turning his back on the downed goon.

"Was anyone surprised that this shit stain was gonna get owned like seriously," Gizmo commented colourfully.

Shimmer just snickered while Mammoth just yawned bored out his mind anyone of them could have taking out this dumbass and his entire entourage.

"ARGHHH. I will not be mocked, I will become the boss," the goon shouted has he punched the floor in frustration before getting up to swing at his target.

Gambit simply sighed before slight shift his head to the left letting the mechanical fist sail past his frame before locking his hand around the goon's wrist and pulling him closer before elbowing him in the gut before judo tossing the bigger man into the ground. Behind the shades he was still wearing Gambit eyes shifted from their original colour to a bloody red signalling that he was activating his powers. The goons metal arm began to glow violet.

"Say buh bye now," Gambit taunted before letting go of the arm and punting him towards the large majority of minor goons. Lucky for them the head goon's metal arm exploded just before he reached them.

In the chaos while everyone else was distracted, Mammoth grabbed a hold of Jinx and launched her petite frame into the air.

Adding a rotation for good measure Jinx sent out hex bolts on mass towards every thug that had a weapon trained on them causing them to either shatter or explode in the hands of the fools. Before they began run away carrying their now unconscious one-armed boss.

Gizmo looked around noting that they were alone before pulling out his Hive communicator and sent a message to Kid Wykkyd to come pick them up.

Jinx walked up to Gambit and gave him a hug.

"It's been a while, Naruto hasn't it," Jinx whispered out not wanting to accidently reveal her friends name.

"That it has cher, that it has," Naruto said in response as he hugged his friend back.

"So, while we are waiting for Kid. How is it you two know each other?" Shimmer asked while standing near her brother.

"We knew each other back in day when I was living in Gotham," Jinx responded.

"Yeah we caused a whole lot of ruckus. We were a part of a small crew of troublemakers but had to go our separate ways when we pissed of Black Mask," Gambit responded as he smiled thinking about Jinx and his stint back in Gotham.

"Officially we were known as the Marauders, but the amount of heat we got, we had to go our separate ways. Obviously, I ended up in Jump and got brought into Hive." Jinx said

"There were five of us in the crew, we were all orphans for the most part. Alongside Jinx and I there was Neo, Erik, and the youngest of us Jason," Naruto finished off as he remembered the good old days.

"Speaking of, do how the rest of them are doing?" Jinx asked.

"Erik left the military as far as I know he is a mercenary overseas. Last time I heard from Neo she was working as a bodyguard for some mobster down in Thailand on the island of Roanapur, but it has been a while since I've heard from her. And Jase is still in Gotham, but he is doing alright last I heard."

"And what about you," Shimmer asked out of curiosity.

"I ended up in Bludhaven ripping off mobsters after traveling for abit, before I ended up getting bored and heard of a certain Jinx living it up large in Jump city and decided to come by visit," Naruto added as he pulled out a full deck of cards and began shuffling out of boredom.

After a few moments the floor was covered in shadows which enveloped everyone in the warehouse before disappearing leaving no trace or evidence anyone was in that warehouse causing trouble.

Jump City Midtown Police Station

The following day the police station was bustling in activity as media crews hovered on the boundary while several forensic teams swept over the scene for evidence and various other fire fighters' ambulances and more police from other districts were aiding in the clearing up operation. Journalists were shouting out questions at whoever walked nearby trying to figure out what exactly happened, how did this attack happen and who is responsible for such a heinous attack.

The police station itself was a wreck, it had enough damage done to it look damn near ready to collapse without a moment's notice.

This was the scene the team known as the Teen Titans came to view once they arrived.

What titans didn't know was that the person who caused this destruction was sitting on a building adjacent to the chaos he caused when freeing Jinx and her friends.

'Time to see what whole fuss is about with these so-called heroes,' Naruto thought to himself as he watched the Titans arrive.

When Naruto left the Hive base this morning, he decided to scout out his biggest opposition in this city.

Robin dressed in his standard red, yellow and green uniform hopped off his customised motorcycle.

'Well he still looks like he has stick up his backside. Wonder if he has improved since leaving the bat?' Naruto as he was referring to the few times went up against the Bat and his sidekick.

While the others stepped out of Cyborg's car.

A green humanoid stepped out the car first. Wearing a black jumpsuit with red stripes and what appeared to be a monkey tail wrapped around his waist acting like a belt. The young teen had red gloves and black boots on. Standing at around 5'6 and quite slim.

'Well he looks young 15-16 maybe,' Naruto thought to himself as he looked on.

Then a more feminine figure stepped out the car covered in a blue cloak and hood which covered most of her form Naruto couldn't make much else of her attire outside of her heeled boots.

'Hmm dark, mysterious and somewhat withdrawn consider me intrigued.'

The next out of the car was clearly the tallest of the titans standing at what Naruto could guess at 6'5 or so almost completely covered in metal.

'Well shit, I'm like your worst opponent ever,' Naruto thought as he chuckled to himself.

The alien of the team was wearing a purple and silver thigh high boots a tight purple mini skirt, a silver belt with a purple crop top, silver greaves and an silver arm band. Standing at 6'1 with long flowing red hair that looked almost like it was on fire. With natural orange skin and emerald green eyes

"Whoa she is hot," Naruto spoke aloud for the first time.

Back down with the Titans their fearless leader began issuing orders.

"Raven, Starfire, BB aid with clear up. Cyborg with me, we are going to speak to the commissioner." Robin called out.

Back with Naruto on the roof top was shuffling a deck of cards while he watched from above.

'I think that's enough for now and I still got time to kill before my meeting with Blood, I think it's probably time to do little window shopping.' Naruto thought to himself as wanted to scout potential things to scout out to steal later on.

Naruto unhooked one his bracelets and began to charge his arm with potential kinetic energy and as his left arm began to glow as he boosted his strength. The remaining bracelets on his right and left began to emit a dull white glow.

Naruto span around and launched the bracelet as far as he possibly could away from his current location. The further the bracelet he threw got the brighter the glow on his remaining bracelets got signalling they wanted to remain close together.

Meanwhile on the ground level Raven the blue robed Titan couldn't shake this feeling of foreboding as she turned around and scanned the environment, she could not see anyone.

'What the?' Raven thought as she thought she saw a glimmer of light flickering from the corner of her eye.

As she looked towards the glinting light, high above her on an adjacent buildings roof. The magic wielder of the Titans locked stares with smouldering crimson eyes illuminating with power.

"Good luck," Raven repeated words that were mouthed to her from the man above before he crossed his arms in front of him and vanished in a white flash of light.

"What the?" Raven whispered thinking maybe her mind was playing tricks on her or she just saw the one responsible for the overlooking his handywork.

Naruto reappeared just a few miles away from his original position outside of the police station. As he uncrossed his arms, he caught the bracelet the he threw.

"Jump drive, success." Naruto stated, as he slipped the bracelet back onto his left wrist.

'Not as fast as Hiraishin but I'm so glad I stole this little beauty. Now where the hell am I.' Naruto thought with smile as he thought back to how he acquired this jump drive technology.

Back at the police station Robin and Cyborg were talking to the Police commissioner.

"So, you have no clear footage of the assailant who assaulted the precinct, and you only know that this unknown freed the Hive from their cells." Robin said after the commissioner reviewed what little facts they had.

"Yes, that is about all of it. We also have 3 seconds worth footage from CCTV camera on the front door before it goes offline, but there is something wrong with the image of the unknown.

"Can you show us," Robin asked in a serious tone.

"Yeah sure one second," the commissioner said before signalling one of the techies to enter the tent they had set up.

A blonde woman walked in carrying a laptop.

"Here you go sir," the young blonde woman said as she placed a laptop down on the table in front of her boss and the teen heroes.

"Thank you, Ms Smoak." the commissioner said with a nod before turning his attention to the laptop and hit play.

Elsewhere at the in an abandoned warehouse the leader of the HIVE academy was pacing around with annoyance. Surrounded by various students he had brought with him for security as precaution in case this possible prospect turns out to be uncooperative.

"How much longer does your acquaintance need before he turns up Miss Jinx," the leader demanded his eyes glowing crimson.

Just as Jinx was about to respond a voice rang out from all around them.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting mon ami," Naruto said.

'Cocky little shit,' the man who had just stopped pacing thought.

"So, this is the infamous Gambit I've heard so much about, is there any particular reason you are late because I assure you tardiness is not tolerated within my academy." A balding man in a robed attire announced as Naruto stepped out of the shadows.

"Well a black cat crossed my path and so I had to take the long way around," Naruto responded as seriously and deadpan as possible while mentally patting himself on the back for keeping the memory of his sensei from his first life alive.

The rest of the occupants in the warehouse jaws dropped except for Jinx as her eyes narrowed.

'Somethings wrong,' Jinx thought to herself as she realised that what Naruto had just said was an old Marauder phrase that her crew came up with when something was wrong.

"But yes, it is I the one and only Gambit, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Naruto said before doing an over the top bow in a mocking fashion.

"Well I am known as Brother Blood," the headteacher stated.

'Blood?' Naruto thought to himself.

"Any relation to the church of Blood?" Naruto asked as he began to reach for his cards.

'If he is linked to those fucking psychopaths, I'm wiping him out now," Naruto thought to himself

'Shit, how does he know about the church,' Bloods eyes widened.

"Erm no just a mere coincidence I assure you," Brother Blood explained before signalling Kid Wykkyd.

"Sure, it is. Now any reason you requested to meet with me," Naruto said.

"Of course, Mr Gambit, you see I have heard of your skills and I want to help you grow and touch greatness." Brother Blood stated as he began using his powers of telepathy to try and influence the rogue thief.

'Yeah I don't think so," Naruto thought as he noticed Blood attempting to poke around his head.

"Really, you are going to help me grow, huh." Naruto said coolly before removing his sunglasses revealing his blue irises turning red.

"You sure about that," Naruto said simply as he smirked at the sight of the headmaster flinching from the sudden headache.

"Is there something wrong Headmaster," one of the random students called out.

"I'm fine," Blood snapped.

Naruto just smirked knowing what his powers do to telepaths. When activated his powers create a static hum which causes major headaches to telepaths, and empaths when they try and get a read on him. Also can interfere with recording devices which makes thieving a lot easier.

'Now it is time to play the part of the willing student. Damn it, Naruto you never make it easy on yourself do ya,' Naruto to himself.

"I think I will be willing to join HIVE academy," Naruto said in a loud enough tone for everyone in the warehouse to hear.

"Excellent," Brother Blood said a moment later as he was still dealing with the aftereffects of his headache.

"Excellent choice. Now Mr Wykkyd please take us to the battle arena I would like to see Mr Gambit's skills first-hand.

Kid Wykkyd just stepped forward and nodded his head before raising his arms up letting shadows envelope everyone in the room before disappearing once more.

Titans Tower

Robin was currently pacing back and forth waiting for the rest of the titans to arrive in the living room.

'We have a new threat, who is this guy?' The Titans leader thought to himself.

"Yo Robin everyone us here," Cyborg called out as Beast boy was the last to sit down.

Brought out of his thoughts he turned to face his team.

'When did everyone?' Robin thought to himself as he realized he was so deep in thought that he missed everyone come into the living room.

"Right ahem well. Earlier to the police commissioner released to us the video footage of the attack." Robin stated simply and turned to the massive tv screen and hit play.

The TV began with people coming and going from the police stations, civilians and police officers alike, but then there appeared to be static interference getting worse and worse by the second until screen was to unclear to watch. After a couple of moments there was a massive booming noise which destroyed the camera completely as the screen faded to black.

"And that is all we have," Robin stated with a hint of irritation.

"I'm still currently working on a way to clear up the static interference," Cyborg said letting his teammates know what he is up to.

"We are going to need to be careful we don't know how dangerous this guy is." Robin warned.

"And he also has the HIVE presuming they all play for the same team," Raven piped in.

"Depending on this knew threat we may need to call in back up, but I think we should assess the new threat of selves," Robin to his team.

"But don't we have a suspect, the flashing man?" Starfire said as she remembered a brief description Raven gave of the man, she saw earlier that day.

Raven flushed slightly red while Cyborg and Beast Boy chuckled to themselves

"Ahem," Robin cleared his throat after Starfire's comment. "Well, Star we will on the lookout for that man also but all we have a brief encounter with a not clear description. Well will need a lot more to find this guy and take him down," Robin paused for moment to let out a yawn.

"Excuse me," Robin said after yawning. "I believe we have all had a rough couple of days and I think we should to get some rest," Robin said before dismissing his as they all scattered back to their bedrooms.

HIVE Hidden Base

Shadows and darkness began to gather on the floor in middle of battle arena before fading away leaving an unfazed Naruto, an irritated Jinx, a smug Brother Blood, and the other students were neutral.

As Naruto got his bearings, he analysed the new room he was in he noted it's a was big indoor colosseum type arena with students and teachers filling the seats.

"I hope you don't get performance anxiety Mr Gambit for you're about to have your entrance exam and I hope you can impress me," Blood called out as a small portion of the platform broke away separating Naruto from everyone else before floating away and connecting with another platform.

On this new platform Naruto could see his would-be challengers.

A girl in grinning cat mask and green kimono.

Another girl with golden eyes, dark skin and angel like wings who he didn't know the name of.

Lastly was another person he did recognise from the other Jinx's teammate.

"Now Mr Gambit before you stand some HIVE's most accomplished students. On the left is one of our more deadly assassins, Cheshire." Blood paused to allow the students to cheer

"In the middle one of our more talented thieves but she also excels in combat. Angel." Blood paused once more, and the students cheered.

'Something about these cheers don't feel right,' Naruto thought to himself.

"And finally, on the right the muscle of the Troika a true powerhouse, Mammoth." Blood announced and another wave of cheers rang throughout the arena.

"Your job is to defeat them all in combat," Blood voice echoed across the arena.

"Tch, fine by me," Naruto muttered to himself as he reached into his jacket pockets getting his preferred weapon of choice ready while also looking relaxed.

Special traits: Whisker like marks on cheeks, Blue eyes (depowered) both eyes are red (when using his abilities) black sclera

Meta Abilities:

Molecular Acceleration- Has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus "charging" that item with explosive results. The smaller the object the quicker the charge.

Enhanced Conditioning- Naruto's ability to tap into kinetic energy also grants him increased speed, strength, reflexes and reactions, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance as a side effect. Bestowing him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style. Under normal circumstances, the physical "charge" he receives makes his natural abilities exceptional and can be pushed to superhuman levels.

Accelerated Regeneration- Gambit can enhance his own recovery rate by stimulating his own cellular activity.

Static Interference- Creates natural static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that shields his mind from intrusion by telepaths. Can increase the effect by holding a charged object near his head. Although reportedly uncomfortable for the parties involved, this shield does not totally prevent telepathic invasion.

Charmspeak- A secondary ability Naruto inherited he has a psionic talent channelled through his voice that allows a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Naruto to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Naruto's charm, and people who are consciously aware of what he's doing can offer some resistance.

Ok clarification time

Naruto is reborn into the dc universe.

He has his memories from the shinobi world but no chakra

Also, to anyone who doesn't think he doesn't act like Naruto my response is he has changed. I'm not the same me I was 10 years ago. This Naruto is living a whole new life and the world is playing by different rules. Also, I've read Naruto as the hero. Naruto as the villain or Naruto as the hero who kills.

I see my version as one who hates the idea of fate and figures he was reborn to play the hero once more but because he hates the idea of fate, he wants to do his own thing while still protecting his precious people.

Pairing wise Naruto hasn't got a set pairing as of yet but I'm leaning towards multiple.

Not following any particular show but I will be cherry picking stories and adapting them to suit my story hence it is set on Earth 09.

Think of the Marauders in a similar vein as the Phantom troupe (HXH), and while they are currently separated, they are still family and will always fight for each other despite their differences.

I initially was going to base Neo off of neo from rwby but decided to change her into an OC with a similar fighting style and powers but looks like Alexa Bliss from WWE

With Jinx the comic version where she is Indian and bald is my Jinx's mother if that wasn't obvious.

Both Naruto and Jinx are mixed race.

Some cops are good guys, some cops are bad guys.

Also, Naruto is not unbeatable but is very hard to take down.

Had a lot of fun with this one.

Let me know what you think on this one.

Also, Next fic to be updated is When One Door Closes (not promising a schedule I write whenever I have time or inspiration for a chapter).

Also considering doing a Ghost of Tsushima xover at some point.
