Reviews

DragonPony022: Indeed, I did want some internal problems within Naruto's character, so I thought this would be the best way to do it.
I know you've been wanting me to include Jinx in the Harem, and while I agree that she is an interesting character, I don't think I will include her as a member of the Harem. If I make another Naruto/TT crossover, I will put her in that.
I must also thank you for helping me with ideas for the Magic Council, but I will be bringing them in the next Chapter.
Don't worry, in this chapter and the next you'll see the upgrades to the characters.

Elchabon: Thank you so much, and don't worry, the Multiverse idea will expand more in upcoming Chapters.
While I do read stories with lemons and limes, I'm not really comfortable writing them, sorry about that.

Godzillafan1: Hm, I'm not going to go through every episode, which would have taken so long to do. Plus I knew where I was going when I creating this story. I will make hints to previous events so people can catch up, but I will not be going through every episode.
Aye, I noticed a number of errors too. I corrected most of them I believe, but still. Thank you.

Kerruan18: Thank you so much, I hope you like this newest chapter. Naruto isn't that bothered by Robin's nature, but it does get on his nerves at times. I will have more interactions between those two to show their issues.

Dregus: That's still up for debate. I'm still deciding if Kurama will be in the Haram, so don't lose hope yet.

I would like to thank everyone for their reviews though.

Titan Naruto

Chapter 4: How Long is Forever?

Jump City – Titans Tower Naruto's Bedroom – Tuesday

It had been a long night for the blond War Hero, indeed it had been sometime since the Nevermore incident. Naruto had battled many enemies of varying powers and skills, yet none had matched the combined effort of the team he was connected with. While some had evaded them for the time being, that number was falling, and the crimes in the city had dropped much lower than projected estimates set out two months ago. The Titans had defended their city time and time again from different types of attacks and issues, and even with some of the enemies nearly successful in beating the team, they had all lost to the iron will and friendship of the mixed team.
But none of that really mattered to Naruto at this point in time. He was questioning his allegiance and future.

Ever since Jiraiya had re-entered Naruto's life, the blond wanted to be around his Godfather whenever he could. But therein lies the problem. The perverted Mayor had asked the blond to spy on his new founded friends and teammates. Naruto had argued with the older man, saying that he wasn't going to spy on them, that he wasn't going to betray their faith and trust in him.
Naruto wasn't a spy at heart, he couldn't be like that to his friends. It wasn't in his nature like it seemed to be with Jiraiya.
But that was not meant to be, as the Toad Sage borderline threatened the blond in question, calling on his loyalty to him, and explaining about some of the more powerful people in the world.

After explaining about the Justice League members and their traits, Naruto had half a mind to contact them personally, but decided against it for the moment. After finally accepting the spy mission from Jiraiya, the older man backed off for a moment, until he demanded results and information about the team.
The Titan Ninja hadn't really spoke of his team to Jiraiya, only confirmed who they were and explained what the team set out to do. Naruto at this time also went out to deal with the Cult of Trigon, and trying to find out about the connection between this planet and his own world.

The War Hero could tell that his Godfather wasn't going to wait any longer to learn about the team, Naruto could sense that much with his own abilities, and his information about the Cult and what he's discovered about Earth and Gaia's connection was placating him, but it wouldn't hold much longer.
Naruto couldn't look at himself in the mirror, because he kept seeing what paths he could go down in his own reflection. Even his dreams and visits to his other versions in the bridge in the Multiverse didn't help.
He sees two routes he could go. One, he could spill the beans to his Godfather about the team, tell him everything he knows about each member he's learnt from them, but that would put him in the crosshairs of the Titans and the League. The second route though would most likely turn him against Jiraiya, destroy his life as a Ninja of Gaia, but he would finally break free of that life and fit in with life on Earth.

While it would seem the second choice would be the best choice, he couldn't pick, and had trouble sleeping over it. The team had been noticing the drop in his performance and nature. He had withdrawn from the group, not a lot, but it was still noticeable.
It was destabilizing his equilibrium, and it wouldn't be much longer until the blond was forced to make a choice regarding his future.
Fully embrace his new life on Earth, or continue his loyalty to his Godfather and world.

Right now though, he's facing his mirror on the wall, but looking down at the desk that rests under it. He's looking down at the very headband that shows his loyalty; shows his allegiance to Konoha, the Elemental Nations, and to Gaia as a whole. Naruto was looking at it with conflicting emotions. His entire life was connected to this metal plate joined with cloth.
He must have been staring at it for at least half an hour, and he's done this every day for the last two weeks. Maybe he was going insane thinking all his answers could be solved by looking at a source of his problems.
Kurama had tried giving Naruto advice on the matter, but the blond Elemental was trying to figure this out on his own.
Create his own, new life?
Or stay still in his old life?

Naruto stared at the headband with a potent scornful stare. The glare he's unleashing upon it could melt planets. It clearly was affecting his sanity, this whole issue about his loyalty. He didn't know what to do anymore.
He was even thinking of leaving the team to gather his thoughts, explore Earth while he made up his mind.
But Jiraiya would track him down, the Titans would also track him down. So whatever choice he made, he would suffer no matter what. It was his fault, he got into this mess by his own coward-est and inability to hurt the ones he holds close to his heart.
He had to make the choice tonight regarding his future. A future with Earth and the Titans? Or a future with Gaia and his Godfather?

"It's bordering on delusional this is, Naruto. You'll never find your answers like this." Kurama told him bluntly and sombrely. She really hated how the blond had deteriorated so quickly over a choice. She needed to try to break him out of this, and although the blond wanted to sort this conflict himself, it wasn't working at all.

The blond didn't say anything and looked at the Diary he used to jot down his mission reports, and thoughts about said missions. It's also where he's put down what he thinks of the Titans, both as individuals and collectively.
The mission reports don't include anything on the Titans, since he didn't spy on them. It helped him figure out their strengths, weaknesses, and traits.
What the mission segments provide is his dealings with the Cult, and his search for the connection between Earth and Gaia.
To help sort out his thoughts, speculations, and have it in written form if he forgot some pieces of information.

"Your heart knows what it wants, Naruto. But you don't want your brain to follow that choice, because you know the outcome of it." The blond's oldest and dearest friend continued to lecture, fully knowing what path Naruto wanted to follow, but could feel the War Hero didn't like the fallout that came from it.
This time though, Naruto did respond to her, but his voice was unsure and filled with worry about the imminent future.

"I know… I already know what will happen if I donn't go with what my heart wants, and I know what'll happen if I do go with my heart. My gut instinct wants one, my mind doesn't want to get involved, and my heart goes for another." He replies to her with a crestfallen expression and a heavy heart.

"Then make the choice already, Naruto… if you keep this up any longer… you'll run out of steam, or worse…" The large fox left it open for Naruto to interpret with his own imagination and experience. She was affectionate, yet firm in her comment to him. She wanted him back on track with his life, back to hanging out with the team, back to his potential girlfriends.
She still teased him about trying to get multiple girls.
Perverted demon fox.

Naruto knew what she was implying at the end. The outcome where he remains loyal to his world and Godfather, and how it would destroy the bridge he created between himself and the Titans.
He would need to cross that bridge to join them, or cut it down and remain away from them forever.

The blond sighed as he tried to figure out how to sort out this dilemma of his. He then sighed again when he remembered what day it was, well, what day it was for Starfire and her kind.
Blorthog Day.
No doubt the female alien would try to celebrate it with the team like she did with him all those years ago.

And for Naruto, today would be a day he'd never forget.

Jump City – Titans Tower Living/Main Ops Room – Tuesday

It had started off a beautiful morning for Koriand'r. The sun was out, the birds were singing, and the light breeze made everything even more majestic on the horizon. The city and nature of the view from her bedroom window added to the majesty of this day.
She had woken up with a spring in her step and an objective set in stone in her mind. She had a nice bath, a wash, and wore clean clothes for this day. She even gathered gifts, toys, and foods over the course of a few days to make this event even more special. She was surprised no one heard her bubbly giggles and knocks in the corridors due to how exited she was to be sharing this special day with her friends.
She had entered the collective room of their base/home with a beaming smile. With how joyful and hyper she was, love hearts might as well been floating around her head.

Upon shouting "HAPPY BLORTHOG!" to the unsuspecting team, she was expecting questions and wonderment about what she had shouted.
No, what she got was nothing. Literally nothing. No questions, no crowds of friends, no nothing.
The team had completely ignored her loud exclaim.

Upon seeing what was causing the lack of response, she felt her heart strings tug, and not in a good way either. No, they were all ignoring each other or fighting. Raven had sat off to one side and reading one of her many books, Robin stood before a boom box in the kitchen, and Beast Boy and Cyborg are playing on the GameStation once more. A thundering hip-hop track drowns out all other sound at this point, which was clearly coming from the Boy Wonder's boom box, whose hair was being blown back by the wall of sound. Cyborg and Beast Boy are having a tug-of-war over the game controller.

"Come on, Beast Boy, gimme that thing!" Shouted an agitated Cyborg, as he tried to tug the controller to his body, only for the Green Machine to yank back.

"Dude! I'm in the middle of a game, Cyborg!" Roared back an equally annoyed Beast Boy during their squabble over a controller.

Starfire, trying to get through to her friends about the occasion, called out once more as she walked deeper into the room. "Friends! Today is Blorthog Day, the Tamaranean festival of friendship! It will be a glorious celebration of our dear friendship." She explained in bliss and with a massive grin on her face.
Before she realizes that no one is paying the least attention, and that hit her like a mental car crash. Disgruntled, she looks around the place and drops the items she has carried in, except for a few strands of jingling bells that hang from her wrists. The sounds of a struggling Cyborg reaches her ears, and she makes her way over to him.

"Joyous greeting, Cyborg! I want to give you this Tinnabula as a symbol of-" She starts with in a happy tone, before she gasps as Cyborg is yanked away from her by a tentacle monster form of Beast Boy.

"You're gonna pay for that, you little grass stain!" Shouted Cyborg as he's yanked away from the momentarily crestfallen alien.

Raven, still buried in her book, is trying and failing at concentrating on her item of interest. She's trying to read up on what she can about Naruto's queries about the lost continent of Mu. She had to dig deep into her collection to find this, and because she started reading it today, she hadn't gotten far into it, and it really didn't help with these lot around her.
Naruto was really patient with her, and he was really kind. The two had so much in common, but were also polar opposites at the same time. Naruto was as bright as any star, yet she was darker than any shadow. Their pasts were similar, they both had demons or connections to demons. They both fit well together, and the longer Raven spends time around Naruto, the more she's starting to fall for him. She could see why Starfire loved him so much, and how Naruto seemed to bring the light out of anyone.

She, and no doubt the others, had noticed their blond teammate had seemed to retreat into himself lately, not opening up, hardly speaking, hardly eating and drinking. She was very curious about what was going on, alongside the others, even if they weren't vocal in their worries.

"Happiness and delight, Raven. On this wondrous day I want to ask you to join in-" Came the voice of Starfire, interrupting the demonic bookworm from her studies and thoughts about their fellow blond.

Raven's eyebrow twitches at the red head who's trying to spread the word of her culture and their holidays. She didn't really care for that right now, she had much on her plate right now, between the deafening music and the reading.
Starfire understood the hint from the ash skinned girl and backed off with a nervous little laugh.
A vein starts to throb angrily on Raven's forehead on her next words, which she spoke with heavy sarcasm. "Robin, could the music be a little louder? I can still hear myself think."

Starfire, after getting rejected by the death stare of Raven, makes it to Robin and reaches to offer him the bells. As the free-for-all continues from the vicinity of the couch, Robin glares off toward the Beast Boy/Cyborg battle ground and one vein after another stands out below his hairline. He also grits his teeth loudly, before he finally had enough.

"I only turned the music up to DROWN OUT ALL THE YELLING!" His face goes red on the end of this line alongside the heightening of his voice. His head swells, and he shouts with enough force to blow Starfire's hair back. If Naruto was in the room, he would have complained about Iruka teaching others his Big Head Jutsu to others.

Secondly, Starfire's response to the whole situation changed drastically from the excited one she entered with. Now she seems to be very, very tired of this whole idiocy. It didn't help with Cyborg putting Beast Boy in a headlock with one hand and seized the controller with the other, and with Raven and Robin butting heads in their own argument.

Fortunately for Starfire, a hand landing on her shoulder shook her out of her funk. It further improved her mood when she saw it was Naruto who had reached her form. He gave her a knowing look regarding the situation. He moved his head to let her know to follow him. Starfire walked first, with the blond following just after. The team wouldn't miss the pair in their current scraps, and so to help ease the emotionally distressed Starfire, Naruto took the redhead out to help clear her mind.

They would go out and celebrate Blorthog Day.

Jump City – Titan Tower Exterior – Tuesday

The two left the tower and walked down the wide path down to the currently offline Obstacle Course, as well as several other still under construction sites and installations.
The stressed and tired Naruto was trying to comfort an equally stressed and depressed Starfire. The two were locked in an embrace, with the blond trying to sooth and calm the redhead down.

Starfire had nearly broken down through the experience in the tower, it was like she was experiencing Rekma, another cultural paraphernalia of the Tamaraneans. Rekma, also known as 'The Drifting', is a Tamaranean term for the termination of a friendship.

She didn't want her friends to breakup and drift away from each other, she didn't know if she could handle it. She loved her friends, and sure, they argued and had little spats, but what she walked into not too long ago… that was no little argument. Because of the distress, she couldn't use her powers, as many powers of her race are fuelled by specific emotions. In her case, positive emotions and thoughts. She's going through an emotional turmoil and thus, not able to use her powers.

Naruto was whispering positive words into her ear during their close embrace. He stroked her long, soft hair to try and calm her down too. It would have been better if she could rest her head over his heart to make her calm down with his smooth heartbeat, but because she was similar in height to him, it would be tricky to do that in a standing position. While he did suffer from slight fatigue due to his lack of rest and nourishment, he was wide awake to help deal with the emotional Starfire. "Let it all out, Kori…" He muttered softly into her ear, while stroking her hair and patting her back every-so-often.

"I-I'm sorry, Naruto. I tried to stop, but I couldn't… I d-don't want our friends to fall out, not today, not any day. Our friendship, our team cannot breakup like this. I-I don't know what to do…" Murmured out a sulking Koriand'r, as she moved deeper into the hug, trying to calm her problems and banish such negative thoughts from her mind. It was hard for her not to think of such thoughts.

"It's alright, Koriand'r… It's okay. They've had worse fights, remember. But the team always rebuilt itself stronger than before. I know today isn't the most brilliant of days for such an event… but trust me, they will get through this. It might be all sorted out later today. Right now though, me and you could celebrate Blorthog like the old days, if you wanted?" He stated, trying to get her to see that it wasn't the end of the friendship of the Titans, before he offered the suggestion to her.

Starfire looked up at Naruto with her sparkling jade green eyes. She knew he was right regarding the team always having little internal conflicts and problems. She herself had got into issues with Raven and BB, while Naruto butted heads with Robin. But her feelings of woe and distress calmed down after the blond proposed that they go celebrate like old times. Her frown returned to that beaming grin once more as she liked the idea Naruto had put forward. "C-can we get Pizza first, please?"

Naruto chuckled at her response, before nodding his head to her. Confirming that they would get some grub before their party.
The two then took off to their favourite establishment via flight.

Jump City – Pizza Corner Restaurant – Tuesday

The two eventually landed in front of Pizza Corner and ordered two dozen Meat Lovers Pizzas. Each.
Naruto had also treated this as if it was a date as well, paid for the large meals, pulled her seat out for her, and complimented her. The whole package in terms of a date such as this.
The lovely pair had taken their time during the course of the meal, choosing to speak to each other more than eating the food they wanted. Such is love. While the two did love each other, they hadn't acted on their respected feelings yet.
Although with the strange feeling that was tugging at the back of the blond's heart, the feeling of something bad happening in the near future, coerced the War Hero to confess his feelings sooner rather than later.

Right now though, they were reminiscing about the past, catching up on things that the two didn't know, their plans for the near and far future, and what had happened during their lack of contact when Naruto lived on Gaia.

Starfire had been worried about Naruto over the last few weeks, as he was hardly engaging with the team, hardly eating and living. It was like he had become a zombie, barely functioning as a person anymore and lacking life. He hardly smiled as well, and he was making mistakes during their training and acts to defend the city.
She knew the others had noticed, yet they hadn't said anything to the blond, hoping it would just be a phase.
But she was glad Naruto was smiling again. Even if it wasn't as bright as before, she was ecstatic to see a grin on his mug once more.

He did explain to her that he was unsure about his near future, and that is what's been affecting him lately. To say the Tamaranean was shocked was an understatement. She wasn't expecting the blond to be thinking about leaving the team, judging by what he implied in his clarification to her about his problems.
Didn't he feel welcome? Had something happened between him and a member of the team to make him consider leaving?
Was it Robin's fault?
Naruto explained to her that he had felt like this for a while now, but it was partly about him leaving the team, since it was attached to another personal matter that was connected to his future. He then went on to tell her that he had sorted it out now. All he needed was a rest to return to peak form once more.

Starfire was pleased to know that Naruto was returning to his old self once more. She could tell he was getting through his tough time quite well, and it showed in his beautiful eyes that the shine was returning to brighten those orbs once more.
She explained that her world had been attacked and reduced to a barren landscape by the very people whom she later escaped from. The Gordanians. She knew the blond was saddened and angered by that. She recalled him telling her, when they were kids, that he wanted to visit the land she came from. Since she never told him about her being an alien, but it translated to him wanting to see her home world, which she explained was luscious and full of life like the Land of Fire was.
Now it was like a mixture of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth from the description that Starfire gave.

The two stopped talking for a while, while eating and gazing into each other's eyes. Cerulean blue irises meeting jade and lime green eyes. They were enjoying each other's company in a content silence.
Starfire then recalled a question she had been meaning to ask for some time now.

"Naruto, how do you think Blackfire is at the moment? Do you think she left Earth to right her wrongs?" Starfire pondered, clearly wondering how her dear sister is after the events a while ago now. Since Naruto could sense other people, maybe he could see if her older sister was still on Earth.

The blond raised a brow at her in surprise, but nodded. "I could try and see, but I can't guarantee anything, Kori. I might not be able to pick her up, even if she was on Earth. But since I was able to see what her aura was like when she fought me, I might be able to pick her out." He explained to her, getting a nod from her in return, before he closed his eyes to meditate and change into Sage Mode. The features of said power up appeared as it became fully active and stable. He was getting noticeably quicker at activating this state of his. After drawing in all the Nature Energy to transform, he then branched out across the world using his powerful senses and the energy of the world to focus and spread it out more.
By doing this act, his energy was felt by every energy sensitive person on the planet.

After a few moments he felt the energy Blackfire gave off and homed in on it.

Jungle – Tuesday

Stood in a familiar forest was a panting and battle damaged Blackfire.
After leaving Titans Tower many weeks ago, she wanted to see what she could do with her life. She went to go see her brother, since she knows where he's hidden, and confessed to him about everything she did wrong and asked for forgiveness.
After explaining to her confused brother about what happened to make her change her original destiny of being a lost, dark soul, he understood why she wanted to do this, and secretly thanked the person who brought his older sister back.

After reconciling with Wildfire, she felt a pull on her being to return to Earth, and she did just that to see what tugged on her soul and mind. It wasn't until reaching this jungle on some small island in the middle of one of the many oceans of the blue marble, that she found the cause of the pull in question. It was a lonely Priest whom always was surrounded by a Great Horned Owl.
After explaining to her the reason why he called to her, which was to help her on her path to redemption and to train her at the same time, he began training her and asking her to fly out and do a good deed once in a while.
He did explain to her that she may never forgive herself for her previous crimes, she can work to correct that imbalance of sins and balance it with good deeds.

Right now though, she was surrounded by several copies of the Priest on the pathway she was situated on, but all of them had similar, but varying power scales and abilities.
And none of them was the original. No, he was floating in a meditative pose watching the ordeal take place.
One could move about in a flash of light, something like Naruto used against her. One was very strong and used Wood based attacks. Another used ethereal skeletal limbs to attack and defend. The next one manipulated just about everything, and the last one could phase through objects of any type.
Another point to add on was that they could use just about every element in the universe.

She had done well to attempt to battle each of them at one time, usually it was just one on one, but the Priest decided to up the tempo as it were.
Indeed she had done well to battle the copies of the mysterious teacher, her years of training under the best that her species had, her years of being in the darkness really helped her cunning and expertise. But she did have to admit, she wasn't going to last much longer.
Just as she was about to attack once more, the Priest signalled her to stop, before turning to look to the side. As if he was searching for something in that general direction.
Or he sensed something that she couldn't.

'It seems that he's mastered it well. To be able to pick up on her energy, mine, and the copies from such a distance. He's really mastered the Sage art.' He thought to himself while studying the sensing capabilities being used, and how they were being bounced about to get a firm lock on them.

"Is something wrong?" Blackfire asked, extremely confused by the pause and actions by the person training her.

After looking at the direction of the sensor for a moment longer, he turned to look back at his student. He shook his head negatively. "No, nothing is wrong, young one. Let us continue your training."

Jump City – Pizza Corner Restaurant – Tuesday

Naruto calmly cut the connection to his Sage Mode, thus stopping him from sensing that far away. He opened his blue orbs once more to look upon the adorable and curious expression of Koriand'r. He beamed a pleased smile at her, indicating that he was successful in finding Blackfire.
He explained to her that he had found her sister, that she was on another continent, and that she was training hard with people who felt familiar.
He quickly had to clarify what he had picked up, since she seemed to fret that the people Komand'r was fighting was hurting her, which the people in question wasn't out to do, but were helping her grow as a person.

After accepting that answer, the two finished their meals and made their way onto the street.
Where the day would get suddenly worse for the unconfirmed couple.

Jump City – Streets – Tuesday

The two had held hands after leaving the establishment. Although the two were nervous about performing that act.
It was adorable in a strange way.
The two stopped ahead of the pillar that held the outcropping of the pizza place, the same one she tried to destroy in order to free herself.
It was also the same place that the two found each other after a few years absence.
It's also a coincidence that the two had first met each other in front of another fast food place on Naruto's home world.
Maybe next time they could meet outside one on Starfire's planet?

The two stood looking into each other's eyes. They wanted to tell the other how much they meant to them, tell them how much they want to be with them, tell them how much they loved the other.
Starfire's heart yearned to be with Naruto, and she knew he felt the same. To some it may be quick, but they have known each other for years, albeit under disguise.
The two have waited years to be together, and now they were around each other nearly 24/7 with the Titans.

The two leaned in, their lips preparing to meet in the middle for what would be the perfect, passionate, long awaited kiss. Since the kiss she gave him when she arrived didn't count, as he didn't add to it.
But this time he was, and she was going to make it more intense.

Just as their lips were about to connect, an energy based attack fired at them from across the road to impact the street, causing a large explosion that rocked the surround area.
The two had quickly bolted out of the way of the attack, with both jumping back away from the point of impact.
When the two recovered from their immediate escape, Naruto and Starfire both quickly looked at their attacker, and were surprised to see who it was.

It was Night Fox, and the positioning of his arm and hand pointed forward indicated that he fired the attack at them.

The masked attacker cast his heterochromia eyes to and from the pair he just announced his presence to. He also watched as Naruto transformed into his Tailed Beast Mode, no doubt ready to fight him. 'This will be fun.' He thought as he looked at the powered up Starfire, with her neon glowing eyes glaring daggers into his own.

"Who are you?!" The Tamaranean shouted in annoyance more than anything. How dare this stranger attack them just before they were about to kiss? The audacity of this person.

"I am Night Fox, and as for the unasked question you were thinking of, I'm here for Naruto Uzumaki." He explained to them, his distorted and menacing voice cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter.

The name immediately puts Naruto on edge, and he quickly turns serious in response to it. 'Night Fox… this early? I knew this would happen, but to happen so soon…' The blond pondered as he slipped into his fighting stance.
He knew for a fact that this would be a deadly fight.

The blond didn't have time to react, as Night Fox suddenly descended upon him with a mean right hook, before delivering a pavement shattering axe kick.
Naruto dodged the punch but couldn't manoeuvre himself away in time and had to block with his arms. The groan of pain echoing from the blond's mouth indicated how much the blocking hurt him. Indeed the act of defending against the kick forced the blond deeper into the ground, breaking the tarmac beneath him.

Starfire jumped into the fray with intensely bright burning eyes as she kicked Night Fox away. The kick didn't send him back as much as she thought, but it got him away from her Naruto. However Night Fox quickly recovered and blasted them both away with a Repulsion Technique, sending the pair flying across the street and skidding into the asphalt before crashing into a building. The building breaks apart and crumbles onto the two heroes, kicking up a massive amount of dust and debris and scattering it around the local area.

As Night Fox begins to make his way to the newly created ruins, he is bombarded by Starbolts and Rasengans. With Naruto's attacks utilizing different elements with every Rasengan that explodes from the dust cloud. Night Fox is soon surrounded by an explosive field of colours due to the elements and energy types being directed at him by Naruto and Starfire. The tornado of energy and elements soon explode, creating a massive shockwave throughout the city.

"Did we get him?" Naruto asked out loud as he tried to see through the thick smoke and matter that was created by the recent burst of light and force. The blond's enhanced eyes could make out the beacon worthy eyes of Koriand'r, but still couldn't make out ground zero of their combined energy attacks to see the body of their enemy.
The answer they got wasn't in their favour, as Night Fox was stood tall glaring at them. His clothes had been damaged by the energy blitz that ravaged his mighty body.

"How did he withstand that assault? He should have more damage!" Kurama roared out disbelieve. She couldn't understand how Night Fox seemed to brush off that. She was worried for Naruto, and now believed their chances of winner had dropped drastically. But that line of thought quickly stopped when she realized who she was talking about.
She was talking about Naruto, the Unpredictable Ninja, soon to be Unpredictable Titan, the War Hero. She knew he got out of worse situations.

Naruto shook his head, telling Kurama that he didn't know how to answer her roaring question regarding the current situation. He then teleported behind Night Fox and begun attacking him again, delivering heavy hitting punches to the midsection of the shadowy warrior, who staggers and recoils from the body destroying blows.
Night Fox quickly recovers, spins around, and attempts to defend himself from the expert patterns of his target. Naruto was trained well in regards to close quarter combat and it served him well.
But Night Fox was no ordinary fighter, and he quickly turned the tables on the blond War Hero.

The two kept their fracas in full swing, both bobbing, weaving, or blocking the strikes of the other. The dance was deadly and even if one were to come out of this alive, it would be pyrrhic victory. Although Naruto kept throwing surprising curveballs in the fight, it wouldn't last forever.

Starfire continued to watch from afar, seeing the combat between the two veterans of combat and was in awe of Naruto's fighting abilities and ingenuity. But she knew that the Ninja couldn't keep up the pace in his side of the brawl. She had to join, and she knew what to do.
The secret weapon Naruto had taught her, although it took a lot of figuring out with their slightly different anatomy and energy.
Even though it was untested in battle and was only a prototype to see if it could even work with the race differences, it worked in the tests they conducted.

Her eyes glowed more and her hair flared up, and at the same time a blue aura formed around her. "Eight Gates! Gate of Life, OPEN!" She shouted as she opened up the energy gate located on the spinal cord. The increased blood flow could be felt through the veins of Starfire as her skin turned slightly red in the wake of the power up. She had no idea what powers or abilities this would even give her due to her different energy usage. She could use this power up due to the fact their race also had these power gates in their body, like Naruto's people do, that limit the overall flow of their Ultraviolet Radiation power, which is absorbed from a planet's star through a Tamaranean's skin. They normally can then manifest that energy to attack others with in the form of Starbolts, Starspheres, Starbeams, and Starblasts. But due to their war-like nature, they could have many more abilities.

Naruto had told her the risks of using this power from the personal experiences of people called Might Guy and Rock Lee. While it is an incredible power up even to likes of the most powerful Ninja of Gaia, its dangers and risks outweigh full usage of this technique. The blond had been taught about it by the two main users of this skill and could even open up all but the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death.
Releasing the final gate uses up all of the body's energy while making the heart pump at maximum power. Exceeding the power of every other gate, the user is temporarily granted approximately a hundred times their normal power, far beyond that of the five Kage and even nearly all the Tailed Beasts. Unfortunately, the side effect of opening this gate is that it comes at the expense of the user's life, causing the user to crumble to ash after their chakra runs out, having virtually cooked themselves from the inside-out. This is unlike opening the other gates, which simply injure or damage the body.

However, since her body was naturally much more resilient than those of the people of Gaia, she would last longer.

Starfire, using her massive boost in power and speed, appeared into the fight and took the fight straight to Night Fox. Her sudden appearance caught him off guard as she slugged him viciously across the face, nearly breaking the mask and skull of Night Fox as he thundered across the road due to the punch from Koriand'r. Night Fox continued to roll, bounce, and skid harshly across the floor before he crashed into a building.

Naruto at this moment turned to address the powered up Starfire, whom looked at him with an eased, but sad facial features.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I couldn't watch you getting beaten like that… I know I agreed to not use this form yet, but I couldn't-" She started to explain to him, until he interrupted her.

"We can talk about this later, Kori. Right now we need to deal with this, and I need to get changed." He told her with a serious look, before ending it a look of wonderment. As if he was contemplating something.

"'…to get changed'? What do you mean?" The clueless Starfire questioned, as she didn't understand what he was implying. She was shocked to see him return to his base form. "What are you doing?"

'Are you ready, Kurama?' Naruto questioned his dear friend as he reached to tap into his most powerful state.
Six Paths Sage Mode.

"It has been some time since you last used this, Naruto. But I'm ready." The demonic fox replied to him with a knowing tone. A tone that basically said 'You should have used this more.'

'I know, Kurama.' He mentally told her with a sigh. He hadn't used this form since the battle with Sasuke.

His eyes faded from their stunning blue to show the hallmark of Six Paths Sage Mode: his eyes are yellow, his pupils are a cross of vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slats, and there is no pigmentation around his eyes that would otherwise signify standard Sage Mode. His body then flashed into a new but similar form to what Starfire had seen before.
But she did note that there were some very noticeable differences.

Like before, his entire body is coated in yellowy golden, flickering flames. His hair has spiked up even more than before, with the bangs over his forehead still pulled back to mimic horns, while the bangs that framed his face spiked up, and moved to the sides to mimic fox ears once again. His outfit and clothing had changed somewhat from the other forms she saw. A sort of circular design is featured prominently over his stomach with half rings around it; the whisker-like markings on his face had become thicker, and ten magatama markings are present on or around his collar. His clothing under the haori had turned completely black, giving the appearance that he's wearing a body suit beneath the yellow coat. His haori's high collar has gotten higher, and the bottom has become broken and seems to mimic fire. The magatama patterns on his outfit are still black, with the magatama that was on his chest remaining gold like his Tailed Beast Mode, and he has bolder black patterns on various parts of his body. He has golden patterns on his stomach and chest as well. The same old white circle is still visible in his right palm but is brighter. He also has ten Truth-Seeking Balls hovering behind him.

After taking a breath to calm his body down from the extreme power up, he looked over to the shocked Starfire. He really needed to get used to this form again, it was straining his body to use this form. No doubt Kurama could keep him in check, but he still needed to use this transformation more often.

Night Fox had since climbed from the rubble of the building he crashed into and looked upon his target. 'So… he's using that form. This should be fun.' He thought with mirth as he positioned his left arm out straight with his hand open. He then began to charge an attack to fire at them.
One that brought back memories buried deep within Naruto.

Night Fox created a dark purple Rasengan-like orb of chakra surrounded by a series of white rings of chakra that orbit the main sphere. The Great Spiralling Ring.
He then fired it at them with intense speed, causing Naruto and Starfire jump to the sides to narrowly avoid the attack which then soars out to sea and into the horizon.
Where it created a massive explosion that could be felt throughout Jump City.

Jump City – Titans Tower Living/Main Ops Room – Tuesday

In the tower with the arguing team, that still was squabbling over their problems, a heated argument that could have no doubt destroyed the team, instantly halted in the wake of the explosion in the sea not far from their city.

"Uh… dudes, what was that?" Beast Boy asked, while still under the grip of an equally puzzled Cyborg.

"It was a Chakra explosion, and a large one at that." Raven told them, easily recognizing what energy it was, but the signature was just confusing. It felt similar to three people who she knew. But it didn't make any sense. It felt like a mixture of two with a tint of the third.

Robin had looked out at the city through the external cameras to see large dust clouds and smoke erupting from the metropolis and knew that a fight was going on. Maybe someone in that fight sent that out to gain their attention; was it a misfire, or did someone evade that attack? So many questions, and of course the only way to answers them is to do the obvious. "Raven, teleport us to the battle, it seems that Naruto and Starfire are involved." He sharply asked of her and explaining where their teammates were with the latter half of his speech.

Raven nodded as the group of boys quickly made their way to her. She then tried to teleport to the location, only to find herself not being able to do so.
Frowning, she tried again but it ended with the same results. It was as if someone was blocking her from using her powers to get to that location. "I can't teleport us in there. Someone has got a barrier up that's stopping Chakra users from moving in and out of the battle zone. It is also disrupting my ability to move us near the site."

Robin scowled at the problem at hand, knowing that their teammates were in serious trouble. He needed to be there to help them.

"I have a way to get us there, Rob." Cyborg told him uneasily, letting the group know that it could be risky.

Raven raised a surprised brow at him alongside Robin. "Do tell, Cy." Robin replied.

"I have been working on a method of teleporting, using the advanced technologies from the Gordanian ship we used to construct the tower, but also advances in technologies on Earth. It's still a prototype though, and I'm not sure it'll work for more than one person. But since this is an emergency." He explains while tapping a console on his left arm as it turns into its cannon form.

The team looked at him in surprise. Cyborg had tinkered so much with the alien technology and advance technologies of both Earth and the Gordanians to the point where he could teleport freely? It would increase their odds against enemies if it does work in a similar way to Naruto's, but with how Cyborg worded it, it seemed to act like Raven's when she teleports the group.

"DUDE, that's awesome!" Shouted the hyper and excited Beast Boy to his best friend, who seemed to stumble at the shout in his ear. Robin also twitched his eye in pain, with Raven muttering something.

"Let's go, team." Robin said with a smile as he got ready to fight the second he appeared at the battle ground to aid his friends.

Cyborg grinned a large smile as a blue barrier of elongated hexagonal shapes surrounded them quickly.
About five seconds later, the barrier crumbled away, leaving an empty room with the music player and TV still blaring out their assorted sounds.

Jump City – Streets – Tuesday

The battle hadn't been going well for the two Titans. Night Fox was a much better Taijutsu artist than both Naruto and Starfire, and both were in their heightened states of power.
Both heroes had worked together well to last this long, but even they couldn't keep taking the hits that their enemy was dishing out.
For Naruto it was the equivalent of getting punched by a Tailed Beast.

While they had landed heavy hitting blows on Night Fox, he clearly had a higher tolerance to pain, had much higher endurance and stamina than both of them, and had more fuel in the tank as it were.
Starfire couldn't fight for much longer due to the amount of damage she withstood, and with that on top of her utilizing the Eight Gates, she knew she would get some time off for this. Her muscles were in agony due to the strain of this prolonged fight. She thought it would have been over by now.
But she persevered, she kept in the fight. She wasn't allowing her Naruto to carry the fight all by himself. Although looking at him in his wounded state wasn't easing her thoughts regarding their situation.

Naruto's left arm was damaged to the point he had problems moving it. The attire on that arm also was tattered, allowing people to see his headband around his left arm, with its metal plate, and the Konoha Symbol cut into the metal. However it now had a deep gash running across it, making it seem like he had turned rogue against his nation. Like Starfire, he also had marks all over his body, both bloody and none bloody.
Naruto swore under his breath as he looked at their enemy and his cosmetic damage.

Night Fox's attire was damaged as well, and similar to the way that Naruto's own outfit had been damaged. The entire left arm was revealed to the world as a mechanical arm, far more advanced and sleek in comparison to Cyborg's. It was also made of a tougher material as both their attacks did nothing to dent it. His mask was the same as it featured little to no marks on it.

Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Bukijutsu. None of the mixed skills of combat was very effective against Night Fox. He was faster, stronger, and tougher than the pair of them at their strongest. This person also had far more experience than they did.

"And now… you will fall, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Night Fox declared boldly, as he focused his eyes on his target, the soon to be victim. Both Titan's also took note with how he was standing, he was paying attention to his surroundings in case of a sudden attack.

Suddenly, in a Black Flash, Night Fox appears to the side of a surprised Naruto. He then quickly punches the side of the blond's temple, sending the War Hero to tumble roughly across the floor and into the building. Although Naruto doesn't go through the brick this time.
He just slams against it harshly, sending him back to his base form and laying down unconscious.
He was down for the count.

Night Fox turned to deal with the distraught and shocked Starfire, until he was blasted in the back by blue and red energy bolts. He looked over his shoulder to see the Titans standing in front of the knocked out Naruto.

Cyborg seemed to have been the one whom fired at him, if his Sonic Cannon aimed at him was an indication to that. The red beam also seemed to have originated from the machine enhanced man.
Robin had his staff out ready to deal with this powerful enemy that seemed to have put Naruto down. He wasn't taking any chances.
Beast Boy was ready to do battle in his standard form, but would quickly change into a fast hitting animal to aid his comrades.
Raven looked angry, her powers were grabbing objects around her to sling at Night Fox.
The team was willing to defend the fallen member with everything they had.

Night Fox couldn't stay any longer, he had to leave. So with one last look at the team with a distant look of remembrance as if he was trying to remember, he vanished with a Black Flash. Leaving the street filled with only the Titans.

Upon checking Naruto's body, they found a weak pulse and got him and the damaged Starfire to Titans Tower's Sick Bay.

Jump City – Titans Tower Sick Bay – Thursday

It had been over a week since the fight in the city against Night Fox, and it had been a tense and troubling week for the majority of the team.
Naruto was in a coma due to the blow he received to the side of his head. Not only that, but Raven had tried to talk to the blond by going into his Mindscape to wake him, only to not find him at all. She found Kurama, and the Tailed Beast had told her that something else had happened in that fight.

Apparently when Night Fox's fist connected to Naruto's temple in that last hit, the two joined minds. Whatever happened in that event though is beyond her, as she was shut out and couldn't break in.
Raven informed the Titans about what she discovered. Luckily Night Fox wasn't able to access Naruto's mind, as Kurama and the blond scrambled any attempt. Even though Night Fox didn't make any attempt to look through Naruto's mind and memories.

The team had been working tirelessly to improve their abilities, techniques, and arsenals. If Naruto and Starfire, two of their fastest and stronger members were taken down like that, with the former in a coma; then this person was not to be underestimated again.
They were all trying to upgrade themselves somehow. Cyborg was finding new ways to update and augment his body with incredible technologies, Robin was looking at design ideas for weapons and an update to his outfit with better defensive and offensive abilities, Beast Boy was seeing if he could transform parts of his body on top of looking at new creatures to mimic, and Raven was practising to see if she could recreate her White Raven state which meant dealing with her Rage and darkness.

Starfire… well, she hadn't left Naruto's side since he was placed in the Medical Bay of the Tower. Which is where she is now.
It's a large room with a single door, a large window, walls filled with different sized screens showing various charts and diagrams. The pale room with brightly lit and contained two main beds and four emergency beds that could fold out of the wall. The beds themselves also seemed comfy unlike normal hospitals. There was also various equipment you'd usually see in a hospital around the beds, with support machines connected to Naruto to make sure he was okay. Well, as okay as he could be.

His heart rate and beat was relaxed but strong. Mental activities were also shown on a chart and they were rising. But Naruto just wasn't waking up.
Starfire had stayed with him as much as she could, she blamed herself for his current state. If she had reacted quicker, then the blond wouldn't be in a coma right now. She could have done something to stop Night Fox from striking Naruto, now she was here by his bedside, holding his hand as he remains in a sleep he might not wake up from.

Starfire looked a mess. While she had freshened up numerous times, her messy hair and exhausted eyes show the suffering she's been going through regarding the whole situation. She kept a soft, but strong grip on his right hand as she tried to stay awake. In case he woke up, she wanted to greet him and beg for forgiveness for her not acting in time to potentially save his life.
The other members of the team had visited the War Hero and the Tamaranean Princess. Although they don't know she's a Princess yet.
The team expressed their worry for her, and assured her that Naruto would wake up.

As Koriand'r was about to rest her drowsy head on Naruto's stomach to sleep, the opening of the door caught her attention. Her jade eyes landed onto who entered the room, and it was the dark Titan of the group.
Raven.

Raven strolled to the left side of Naruto's bed, taking in the tired disposition of Starfire, before gazing at the monitors and screens on the wall behind the bed their male teammate was laying on. She quickly gathered that Naruto's condition was improving and might wake up soon, but she also gathered that Starfire was about to fall asleep on the blond.
In truth Raven was also here to sit and watch over Naruto, but since Starfire was already camping here, it would be… difficult to sit and watch over the male Chakra user.

Starfire smiled at Raven and greeted her, Raven returned the greeting with her own and explained that she had come down to see how they were doing. Since Cyborg was out getting supplies for his upgrades, something that Robin was also doing.
Beast Boy on the other hand was sleeping, since he had overexerted himself with his training.

Raven had been picking up Starfire's gloomy emotions and knew that she was still drowning herself in guilt over Naruto's comatose state. Because of her lack of happy emotions, the team was really down two members since Starfire wasn't generating many happy emotions, meaning her powers were minimal at best.
Just as Raven was about to leave to let Starfire sleep, the Tamaranean spoke out to her.

"Don't leave… you can stay, Raven." Koriand'r spoke out softly and tiredly, indicating she was indeed knackered and needed sleep. But even then, she wanted to talk to Raven.

Raven looked back at Starfire for a moment to register what she said, before she nodded and returned to the bedside. She pulled up a chair like the alien female had done and sat down.
It was a strange experience seeing the two like this. Starfire was usually a very bubbly person, always smiling and bringing sunshine to just about every room she steps in. In the case of Naruto, it was how he slept. She had seen him sleeping every so often when he fell asleep on the couch in the Ops Room. He looked strong and ready to jump into any situation that was thrown at him there and then.

Now Starfire looked a mess, she was hardly smiling; and the happy, hyper energy she generated was missing. Replaced by the guilt and depression of failing to help someone close to her.
And Naruto? He looked so helpless right now, so weak and fragile. Heck, Raven even wondered if it was even him every time she sees him like this.
It was putting a dent in the team's moral.

"I know you love him, Raven." Starfire opened up with as she kept looking at Naruto. Interrupting the purple haired girl from her reverie.

Raven quickly shot her head to look at Starfire in shock, nearly giving herself whiplash in the process. Why did her female teammate think that? Was it really that obvious to her? The hooded Titan decided that it would be best to come clean with it and not beat around the bush.

"I will admit, I tried to supress the feelings I had for him. I can see why you feel in love with him. He is a caring person, and he always puts others first before him. He always speaks his mind like I do and doesn't hide what he's feeling." She admitted with Starfire, who looked over at her with a small smile gracing her face. Raven continued with a small smile of her own. "Plus, his smile is infectious, and he can inspire anyone to fulfil their dreams and ideas. He is also fun to be around as he will respect your ambitions and will aid you through tough times."

Starfire sighed softly, completely understanding Raven's words as she assimilates them and dissects them. She smiled softly as she examines the dark Titan's facial features. Raven, while not showing many emotions on her face, showed a great many emotions in those purple orbs for eyes. They glistened with respect, care, and even some form of love in them as she spoke.
The alien Princess knew that Raven loved Naruto, and despite Raven's attempts at hiding it, Koriand'r knew better. She could pick up on the signs, even if Naruto couldn't.

"You love him, don't you?" Starfire asked her seriously, not leaving any room for debate.

This caused Raven to widen her eyes in surprise, before resigning to her fate at the hands of the alien across from her. "How could you tell…?" She spoke with a sigh.

"I'm a good reader of emotions. I've known for some time about your feelings for him. But I know you know that I love him, and that's why you haven't made a move… However, I've got something that could help you with that." Starfire explained to her as she turned to address her.

The last segment of Star's vocal communication made Raven blink before she settled for an unsure frown. She didn't know what to make about that bit, so she did the obvious thing and asked what she meant. "What do you mean?" She enquired bluntly.

Starfire looked her straight in the eyes before dropping the bombshell onto the curious Raven. "I'm a Princess, but also my race is polygamous, as well as Naruto's. Meaning that both of us can have multiply spouses for varying reasons. Since Naruto is already betrothed to me… technically… we'll be getting together naturally. But both I and Naruto, mostly myself, will allow Naruto to be with other girls if we both want to. I personally don't want another man involved, but since other girls have gotten interested in him, namely yourself and Blackfire, I could let others in. But only a small number, as I know that Naruto doesn't want many girls, if he wants to go through with this." She explained with a knowing smirk.

Raven looked at her with pure shock and surprise. She knew that Naruto was meant to be engaged to a member of the Tamaranean Royal Family, but to find out that Starfire, and to an extent Blackfire, were members of the Royal Family was surprising. But the shock came from that fact that Starfire had pretty much given the go ahead to be in a relationship with Naruto, providing she was willing to share with others.
Raven knew that her uncontrolled powers were doing something destructive somewhere. As it turned out she had risen the waters around Titans Tower before it suddenly dropped back down again when she regained control, even though there was an uncontrolled blush on her face.

"Yes, Raven. I'm letting you join in." She told a blushing Raven who seemed to try and hide deeper into her hood. Starfire then cast her eyes to the comatose Naruto, her facial features becoming sad once more. "Now to tell him… when he wakes up. I could wait forever for him… I don't care how long I have to wait." She explained as she closed her eyes with a sad sigh, gaining a saddened look from Raven.

"How long is forever to you…?" Came a voice that startled the two girls from their saddened moods, causing the two to quickly look at the now active Naruto, whose open eyes were examining the pair of them. He was taking in their forms and quickly saw the disordered appearance of Starfire, easily knowing she had a tough time dealing with his absence.

"NARUTO!" The two girls shouted in surprised, before they both embraced him.

Naruto jolted in amazement at the pair of them hugging him like this. He was really only expecting Starfire to do this, but Raven? That was something else. He hugged the two back and breathed loudly. "I'm awake now, you don't have to worry about me anymore..." He explained as Raven pulled away, pulled out her communicator and called the rest of the team and begun telling them that Naruto had arisen once more.

"What? Naruto is awake?" Came Robin's voice echoing from the speakers on the device. Naruto, Raven, and Starfire heard Beast Boy and Cyborg nattering in the background basically asking the same thing.

"I am, Traffic Light, Green Machine, and Chrome Dome." He said loudly so the device could pick him up, and in doing so the members of the Titans that were not in the Medical Bay could hear his voice. Confirming that he was indeed awake once more.

Cheers could be heard screaming from the Titans Communicator from the boys on the other side. The other members of the team explained that they were on their way down/back to see him, with Cyborg coming to also see if the blond was a clean bill of health.

As this was happening, Starfire notice that Naruto's right eye was a lighter shade than before, an icy shade, while his left eye remained cerulean blue. The strange thing about this though is the icy shade of blue is the exact same as the right eye of the one who put him in a coma.
Night Fox.
She didn't know what this meant. But right now though, she didn't care.
What she, and the Titans, didn't know though, was that the future was going to put their faith and friendship to the test.

Jump City – Titans Tower Naruto's Bedroom – Thursday

It had been a long day for the blond hero, after being briefed on what had happened during his time in the coma, after having to put under tests from Cyborg to see if he was fully functioning to be active on the team once more, and after putting his plan into action regarding his choice of allegiance. He was about ready to hit the hay in his much comfier bed.

The rest of the team had been surprised to see him sat up by the time they all reconvened again in the Medical Bay, and were surprised at the change of colour in his right eye. Naruto did explain to them that he could still see, with Cyborg confirming this during his tests on him to deem him ready for service again. He even stated that he felt more clarity than he did before, and was more than ready to show them.

While the team's leader, Robin, allowed Naruto to resume his place on the team, he did tell him to take it easy for a while at the same time if his tone was anything to go by. The blond could tell that the same theme ran through the other members of the team.
He did note that the group took his coma induced state badly for the most part, as the members did look a bit rough but had all seemed to try and grow from what had happened. The team had really tried to upgrade and change their attires and powers.
Naruto was proud of the team, and thank them for being there for him even though they've only known him for so long. Indeed it had only been a few months since the team's creation on this island after the Gordanian invasion.

The team wasn't letting Naruto go if they had anything to say about it, he was family to them. Family… something he's always wanted, he wanted to cry because of their responses to him.
It also further helped him to cement his allegiance.

After several agonizingly long tests to deem him fit, and compliments to the team for their changes and seeing him as family, he got changed into his fixed gear and went out to the Mayor's place, and left the slashed Hidden Leaf headband on the desk after burning Jirayia's information about the Titans. While Naruto loved his Godfather, he loved his family in the Titans more.
From that point on, Naruto of the Leaf died, and a new book was being written. His life as Naruto of the Titans was in full swing now.

He shook his head from his reminisce of the last few hours with a smile. He finished writing in his diary about the events of his day before setting it down in his drawers and shut it, before getting under the covers with a light sigh. He was troubled regarding his fight against Night Fox. The two had linked minds momentarily, but in that second for outside viewers, and minutes for the joint space of their minds, Night Fox had revealed who he was to Naruto. It was so shocking for the blond that he couldn't tell anyone, not even his closest friends and family.
Naruto shook his head again, before shutting off the light and going to sleep. It wasn't the time to think this through. He wanted to dream happy dreams this night.

Jump City – Titans Tower Naruto's Bedroom – Friday

It was still early hours for those in Jump City, and within Naruto's chambers it was the same as the majority of bedrooms in the metropolitan area, filled with someone snoozing in a bed. Naruto was a silent sleeper, at one point in his life he was a loud snorer, but through training he was able to sort this out.
He didn't want to wake himself up with his own loud snore.
Naruto was also sleeping very deeply, meaning he was talking with his alternate selves.

The slow opening of the door disturbed the otherwise still environment, upon the complete opening of the door, Starfire's head popped through the threshold. She quickly scanned the room before stepping inside to reveal she was wearing her pyjamas, which were pink and the typical PJ style of clothing with a long sleeved button shirt and pants.
She crept up to the still sleeping Naruto, although she quickly noticed his barely noticeable snoring.
She climbed onto the bed next to him, remaining on top of the covers. She smiled at him, before stroking his cheek softly.
The moment she touched his skin though, she went out like a light, unknowingly brought along to see the other Narutos.

Space Between Universes – Friday

Nightmare, Naruto Namikaze, Vice Admiral Naruto, and Naruto Uzumaki were in a sitting position floating between the many universes and their infinite beauty and wonder.

Naruto Namikaze, the one who stated that he had 15 Animatronic girlfriends, had changed a bit since they last spoke. His right eye now contained the Tenseigan, which is characterised by a light blue pupil and irises which contains a white, floral pattern. His outfit also changed slightly as the Konoha symbol wasn't on his outfit, it had been replaced with the Whirlpool symbol of the Hidden Eddy Village. He also had a white circle on his right palm.

Vice Admiral Naruto hadn't changed a bit.

Naruto of the Animatronics had been informing them about what had happened lately in his Universe and world. He had betrayed Konoha and has taken everything to do with his Clan and village out of the Land of Fire. He took a large number of Shinobi with him on his way out of Konoha, and they now were rebuilding life in the Land of Whirlpools. Although they lacked manpower at the moment, they were gathering more and increasing in strength. He had even built some new Animatronics to increase their numbers in the growing Village.

Vice Admiral Naruto was telling them a few stories during his trip to the Delphic Expanse, most noticeably about the incident at a mining penal colony, another with the Osaarian's along with discovering a large 1,000-year-old sphere constructed out of a single alloy. He also explained about another event regarding a distress call from the lost Vulcan cruiser, Seleya.

Naruto of the Titans caught them up to speed with his adventures. One about the Puppet King who turned himself, Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy into puppets and Starfire and Raven had to save them. He explained to them about Red X who suddenly appeared and appeared to be working for Slade. Only to find out it was Robin, who used it to figuring out what he is up to by gaining microchips for Slade's newest plan. He also went on to tell them about Robin becoming Slade's apprentice before telling them about what happened between him and Night Fox.
It seemed, according to Nightmare, that Night Fox was Naruto's nemesis in the Titan Universe.

Nightmare had told them that they could expect more Narutos to appear here, as he had been in contact with a few others. All of which were very different from each other. Heck, only one of them was loyal to Konoha, the other two didn't have anything to do with Konoha. One had been found by Kumo scouts and taken to their Village to be raised among them before going on adventures across the Galaxy through a Stargate. The other had been teleported to a planet called Coruscant at a young age and thus was never a Ninja of Konoha.
It would be interesting to see how those three would interact with the three already here.

During the midst of the conversation between his guests, Nightmare frowned and looked to the side, seeing an unknown person who seemed to have joined in. "Excuse me but did you, Naruto of the Titans, bring a guest with you? Did someone sleep with you?"

Naruto Uzumaki raised a brow at him in surprise and puzzlement. He was perplexed at the question, but answered it none the less. "Uh, no. I don't know how to bring others along, and I sure as hell didn't sleep in bed with anyone. Why did you ask?"

Nightmare, still looking to the side at their guest, replied to the honest and curious blond. "Because someone touched you in your sleep, and since I haven't gotten full control over this ability yet, I accidently brought one of your friends along with you to this place. Look behind you." He explained before he nodded in the direction he indicated the Titan member to look at.

Upon turning around, Naruto was surprised to see who it was. Even more surprised since he didn't sleep with the person in question, meaning they snuck into his room to sleep alongside him.
The person in question, was Starfire.
Koriand'r looked at the four Narutos in front of her with an extremely confused face, before her eyes settled on the one she knew and loved. Naruto seemed to be confused about her appearing here, much like she was.
Wherever this place was.
She looked at Nightmare, who looked like an older Naruto, before looking at the others once more with her lime and jade eyes. She took in the features of the other two Narutos' before looking at her love. The one she knows.

"Who are those three, and where are we?" Starfire asked as she looked around trying to figure out where she was. "Are these other personalities inside your mindscape?" She continued as she looked back to the four Narutos.

Yep, the day seemed to get longer for Naruto of the Titans. He sighed loudly before turning to address Starfire.
Now how does one explain to someone else, in this case their lover, that they are seeing alternate versions of themselves in the space between the many Universes?

END

The next Chapter will continue on from where this one left off.
I know some people will be confused about Starfire using the Eight Gates, but like I've explained in the story. I believe that their body needs a way to control how much energy flows through them, much like how Naruto's species has the Gates to filter and control how much Chakra flows around. I used the same principle and applied it to Starfire, although she will have drastically different abilities and powers.

So what do you all think about this newest Chapter?
Please no flaming either. I don't mind constructive criticism, but I can't stand people who just rip into it and not being constructive, nor giving any form of feedback that I could use to improve.
