A NARUTO X OVERWATCH CHALLENGE STORY

The Fox of Overwatch: Naruto Uzumaki

Introduction: Captured Maelstrom

(Tokyo, Japan)

Under the cloudless sky with the full moon shining above is a figure on a skyscraper construction crane overlooking a tall executive building where his target was roaming about in his private office.

The figure in question has blonde, spiky hair, with a mask featuring sharply, slanted eyes, orange whisker shaped markings, and orange markings over the eyes; and wearing a black long-sleeve, high-collared shirt; a grey chest plate; grey armor on his shoulders, upper arms, and forearms; plated black gloves; baggy black pants with a utility belt around their waist; a kunai pouch bandaged to his right thigh; black tabi knee-length socks; tan sandals; and a red scarf connected to his outfit and chest plate.

Stored within his utility belt where special tri-prong kunai, explosive shuriken, and electromagnetic pulse grenades. On his back with the hilt over the right side of his shoulder is the Plasma Katana, a specialized designed sword that was a prototype created with an energy blade sharp and hot enough to cut through any material; contained in a sheath that contains a rifle mechanism with a magazine loaded and a trigger located below the sword's hilt that when triggered, he could launch the Plasma Katana for added momentum to his strike, with the sheath connected to a rail that travels to his back and side. Finally, he has two WESTAR-35 blaster pistols with almost unlimited ammo holstered on his thighs next to his kunai pouch.

He is the Fox; the international criminal the United Nations wants brought to justice.

With a crack of his neck, Fox ran across the crane before jumping off it into the air in a dive towards his targeted building. After enjoying the rush of the air for a brief moment, Naruto whipped out several explosive shuriken and threw them at a window where a cluster of hired muscle stood. After a couple seconds, the shuriken exploded, knocking some of them back, as Fox landed and rolled in while unholstering his WESTAR-35s. Getting to a vertical base, he unleashed rapid-fire rounds at the thugs, riddling them with new holes to breathe through.

The guns then stopped firing, giving out a few short beeps along with a hissing sound to signal that they needed to be reloaded by rapidly gathering energy to charge. Fox quickly holstered them and readied his Plasma Katana to be unleashed, his finger on the trigger as all the hired thugs surrounded him before they charged with their barbaric weapons.

A millisecond later, they were nothing but bloody chunks on the ground as Fox twirled his blade beneath his fingers before sheathing it.

For a moment, he put a finger to his ear, pausing for a second. After a while, Fox sank into the shadows and retreated from the room and into the dark hallway. There, he stuck to the shadows until he found the main elevator. Fox then hid and stuck to the corner between the ceiling and elevator with his feet keeping him in place.

The elevator dinged, with the building's owner's private security force swarming the hallway to get after the intruder, missing Fox flipping into the elevator and hitting a button to the CEO's personal floor. The elevator closed with the security force paying no mind as they searched for the intruder.

As the elevator went up, Fox detached his gun-sheath with his Plasma Katana and then stuck to the ceiling as the elevator opened up. Taking a peek, Fox frowned under his mask when he saw his target escaping through his private elevator. A second later, Fox put a finger to his ear and nodded.

"His usual ham and cheese spot, eh?"

He ran towards the elevator and slashed the doors open, at the same time throwing his tri-prong kunai upward at the bottom of the elevator, before disappearing and reappearing in the same spot as the kunai, latching onto the express elevator that just stopped, using the momentum to destroy the bottom with his Plasma Katana to burst through the floor of the elevator and land on the floor where his target is.

"This is quite the view isn't it, my dear assassin friend?"

Fox looked up to see that he was on the roof of the building with the clock tower behind him and his target close to it overlooking the sky with his back to him.

He is a slender, bespectacled man with tall and spiky white hair, wrapped entirely in white as, wearing a pure white suit with a white shirt underneath, a pair of white pants, gloves and robe.

"Minaka Hiroto, Founder and CEO of Mid-Bio Informatics, a pharmaceutical company specializing in the fields of economics, medical networks, and advanced technology." Fox stated as he walked up to him.

"I see you did your research." the now named Minaka Hiroto praised with a grin.

"Also…"

Fox pressed a trigger on his Plasma Katana, causing sparks to arc of it.

"A secret supplier of Talon."

Raising an eyebrow at being discovered, Minaka turned around to face his assassin.

"And how do you know that?" he asked in an interested voice, and frowned when he got the feeling that the assassin seemed familiar.

Fox merely cracked his neck before charging at Minaka, but was stopped when two prongs stabbed themselves in the opening of his armor and shocked him, stunning him in place. Minaka smirked at that and laughed before he faltered when Fox looked at him menacingly before grabbing the strings attached to the taser and yanked it, drawing out a woman with white hair and clothes almost the same as Minaka and promptly decked her in her face, knocking her out cold.

"Now that was rude. Why did you have to do that to poor Takami-san?" Minaka asked in a scolding matter.

Fox didn't respond as he yanked the taser prongs out of him before using his enhanced speed to close the distance between himself and Minaka to lift him up by the throat.

"Don't recognize me, huh? I thought the designs on my mask would give it away." Fox mused to a choking Minaka before lifting his mask up, revealing his face.

Allowing Minaka to FINALLY recognize him in horror.

"You?!" he gasped as Fox brought his mask down.

"Took you long enough, Talon scum!"

Talon.

Once, they were just a ragtag group of lowlife scumbags from different nationalities made of petty criminals and dishonorably charged soldiers. Now, over several years of organizing, bold tactics, gaining infamous notoriety, and attracting those who would fund their activities, they rose to become one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world, with their operations being spread worldwide.

To the world, little is known about their overarching objectives or the reasoning behind their actions and that is how Talon prefers it. The less the world knows about their true motives, the less interference they'd receive.

Or so they thought.

After their rise to prominence, and despite having important political leaders in their back pockets, the international task force known as Overwatch was becoming a major pain in the rear for them. Overwatch was created at the behest of the United Nations during the Omnic Crisis, a sudden uprising by the sentient A.I. robots turning against their human creators for unknown reasons.

After Overwatch defeated the hostile omnics and "source" of the rebellion when no one else could, they became champions of heroism, sacrifice, and nobility. When Overwatch transformed into an international peacekeeping organization, Talon, who was so well known at the time, were the first on Overwatch's radar to take down.

Before Talon realized it, their operations were getting interrupted time and time again, month after month, with millions of dollars going down the crapper, and it wasn't long until they connected the United Nations what they considered to be their pet experiment, Overwatch, to the interferences that plagued them.

They couldn't have that, and thus began the secret war between Overwatch and Talon, the world's heroes and the world's enemy. But Talon was just a group of normals, and they knew that, even with their black op and dirty tactics, they couldn't stand up against a team of soldiers, scientists, and oddities.

Naturally, they had to even the playing field.

Abandoning their previous operations to divert their resources to fight Overwatch, they focused on distracting them with hit-and-run guerrilla tactics so they can search for gifted individuals such as metahumans, powered people, and enhanced individuals.

These kinds of people dominated the golden age of the ongoing battle of heroism and villainy, and there was no doubt that they had descendants that hid their powers from the world to live a normal life; away from the fighting since they felt the world had no place for them.

For those people, it was wishful thinking on their part, as Talon used their vast resources to identify and capture them when they least expected it, luring them in with false promises and ambushed them when they were alone. Those poor people were then subjected to inhumane experiments to explore their DNA and genetics, creating chemicals and serums out of their beings to further their quest for power. Soon, Talon succeeded in creating super soldiers to fight on even ground with Overwatch.

But that wasn't enough, for it will never be enough. Once you get a taste of power like that, you crave for an endless buffet of it, like an addictive drug.

During the search for those special people, the scientists of Talon discovered an anomaly in the Pacific Ocean that was covered in an impenetrable mist and shielded by a dome of strange energy, leading to the discovery of a hidden continent on planet Earth. Keeping the discovery to themselves, they deployed a special squadron of their very own super soldiers in to mark the land, discovering that the continent, aptly named Elementia, was split down the middle between the Western Elemental Lands and the Eastern Elemental Countries, and it was populated by two kinds of humans: the normal ones, and those with the ability to use chakra, a form of life energy that all individuals in the land produce that is melded together from physical energy and spiritual energy; the same energy that powers the dome.

Ninshu was originally taught to create peace with chakra to connect people's spiritual pathways so that they could better understand each other without talking, but instead, the people that learned to use chakra, who made themselves ninja and samurai, to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies, kneading their inner energies together to amplify and weaponize it into jutsu, with the last part Talon liking very much.

It wasn't long until they managed to penetrate the dome's shield in its weak point in the skies of the Land of Snow.

After three years of kidnapping enough individuals from Elementia and subjecting them to experiments to learn all they could about chakra, with their usual way through the continent being the Land of Snow closed off thanks to their new Daimyo, Koyuki Kazahana, Talon decided on their next target to turn into the first super soldier that utilizes chakra; and not just any chakra, Bijuu Chakra.

And that target was the only being in Elementia who possesses the highest amount of chakra ever recorded.

The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and descendant of the legendary Rabbit Goddess and Mother of all Chakra: Naruto Uzumaki of Konohagakure no Sato.

Sneaking through the port of the Land of Spring, the land formerly known as the Land of Snow, the specialized anti-chakra Strike Team of Talon got in contact with their spy in the Land of Spring, who has his little birds floating about in both the Eastern and Western halves. The spy revealed that their target, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, was currently out of the village and on a mission to rescue his friend, his fellow Jinchuuriki and now Kazekage of Sunagakure no Sato: Subaku no Gaara. And with the village recently attacked by the land's own terrorist organization, the Akatsuki, the village's defenses are weakened despite the lockdown.

During the time that the Gaara Rescue Mission was underway, the Talon Strike Team made their way to the village in record time and sneaked through the gaps in their defenses. Once inside, they utilized their prototype sheath gear and planted explosives all throughout the village, intending on using them as a distraction to divert everyone's attention while they nabbed the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.

They didn't care about the resulting casualties.

Soon, the rescue team came back with the revived Kazekage after he died when his Bijuu was extracted, with some old lady using the last of her life force interlaced with her chakra to bring him back to life. And their target, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki was there, exhausted and tired, and thankfully, he and his fellow shinobi accepted the offer to stay in Suna overnight to recover.

Night falls…

The Strike Team split up and moved swiftly through the cover of darkness. Two groups vaulted over the roofs, with one of them stunning the patrolling Suna ANBU with chakra disruptor darts and the other group killing them. The third group got to the inn where the Konoha-nin were staying to discover that their target had a room all to himself, and was currently fast asleep. Striking fast, the Strike Team hit the inn with a chakra jamming emitter, with two of the Strike Team Members crashing into the room and hitting the blonde Jinchuuriki with a heavy tranquilizer dose carried in a chakra disruptor shot before he could awaken, putting the Jinchuuriki even further down under.

Speaking of Jinchuuriki, they managed to quickly ambush and extract some chakra from the Kagekaze, which had trace remnants of the old lady's life chakra, for further study.

They grabbed their quarry and rendezvoused with the rest of the Strike Team on the roof of the inn, where they detonated the explosives, with the chaos being used to cover their escape. By the time Suna would get things in order, their hero who rescued their Kazekage, Naruto Uzumaki, would be long gone.

Keeping the Jinchuuriki under, the Strike Team made it back to the Land of Spring's airfield where their cargo plane was waiting. When they took off, they were immediately shot at when the Land of Spring finally received news that their hero was missing, but it was too late as the plane was well out of range, much to the despair and rage of the new female Daimyo of the Land of Spring.

There wasn't anything they could do, and on that day, the Elemental Countries lost someone who was a hero outside Konoha.

They lost Naruto Uzumaki…

As for Talon, they succeeded in capturing a prime subject who they transported to Hoshi Labs, a global department of research and development. There, they plan on studying the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki to turn a weapon of mass destruction that will bury Overwatch six feet under.

It would be glorious!

"You and your band of butt buddies took three years of my life from me. Now, I'm here to collect." Fox growled as he raised his Plasma Katana.

"Wait, Uzumaki-kun! Let's talk about this! I can give you all the names and locations you want! Please! I have so much to do as the future Game Master-!" Minaka wheezed before getting stabbed in the heart with the Plasma Katana.

"Sorry, but I simply don't believe the words that will come from your mouth if you do. Plus, I know your servers and personal computer will be more than willing to give me the information I need. Finally, those girls you're after want to live in peace on that island, away from the darkness of mankind, since they can't get back home. This isn't just for my revenge on Talon, but for those poor girls' sake as well. And so, Talon, and EVERYONE associated with them looking to further drag this world to hell, will fall! Now do us all a favor and DIE!"

Fox grabbed Minaka's head before he could respond to that and viciously snapped his neck before kicking him down and off the roof, Sparta-style. Using his enhanced eyes, he saw, with satisfaction, Minaka's body going wham, splat, pancake-time on the ground, drawing screams from the crowd below. With a small grunt, Naruto left, leaving Minaka's assistant groaning on the ground. Without looking back, Fox whipped out one of his WESTAR-35s and shot Takami with a stun blast for good measure.

He arrived back in the office of the now late Minaka Hiroto and put a flash drive into the port of Minaka's personal computer. From there, Naruto watched as the flash drive did its job of gathering every single byte of data from the computer that contained all of Minaka's files; from blueprints, to Talon connections, blackmail of persons of interest in the world, projects that MBI was working and collaborating on with other companies no doubt affiliated with Talon, other stuff that was clearly illegal, and etc. At the same time, Fox drained the vast fortune of MBI and transferred it into his own private off-shore account, and anyone who tried to look for it would instead get bounced around in infinite loops and cycles around the world.

With the transfers finished, Fox pulled out his main flash drive and used another one to unleash a virus that destroyed every single computer in MBI. Finally, Fox disappeared in a flash of orange as the flash drive exploded, melting Minaka's computer.

MBI was finished.

Fox arrived back on top of the crane he was on to see law enforcement storming the MBI building, causing Fox to smirk under his mask before disappearing via orange flash again.

When he reappeared, it was on an island called Kamikura Island, with Fox facing a slender yet shapely woman with waist-length purple hair with shorter bangs in a hime style; brown eyes; fair skin; and wearing the traditional attire of a miko that consists of a purple hakama, a white haori with a sash-like belt, wooden sandals and a white ribbon to partially hold her hair in place.

"It's done, Miya-san. Minaka Hiroto and MBI will bother you and your birds no more. Thankfully, it appeared that he wanted to keep you and the others for himself for whatever game he was planning, and didn't tell Talon about you. So, all's well that ends well." Fox reported, with the woman named Miya looking happy.

"Thank you for coming to our defense. Maybe now my wagtails and I will enjoy a brief period of peace." Miya stated with a grateful smile.

"Hopefully, it won't be brief. It'll be forever. After all, you lovely birds deserve to live in peace. I may not see you girls again for a long time, so give my regards to Akitsu, Uzume, and the others. Ja ne, Miya-san."

"Sayonara, Fox-san." Miya said with a bow.

With a nod and a salute, Fox disappeared in a flash of light, leaving the island.

Or…so they thought…

Miya looked up into the night sky and murmured, "The world has called him forth at the cost of his past memories. The Fox that is the descendant Kaguya Ootsutsuki, and Destroyer of the world's enemies…

Naruto Uzumaki."

END OF INTRODUCTION

Next Time – Prologue: The Re:Awakening

When he awakens in Hoshi Labs, Naruto is without his memories, but is still himself, in which those who wants to turn him into a living weapon will find out the HARD way. They really should've kept their mouths shut in front of him…

-NARUTO'S STATUS-

Call Sign: Fox

Real Name: Naruto Uzumaki

Age: 23

Height: 166 cm

Weight: 50.9 kg

Occupation: Vigilante/Assassin

Base of Operation: Tokyo, Japan

Affiliation: None

Personal Information: Naruto remembers parts of his past. Mostly some of his powers, weaponry/fighting capabilities, and faces of unknown friends. He also remembers his past when he was younger; about up from when he was twelve to fifteen, but nothing after rescuing a redhead boy from some freaks wearing black cloaks with red clouds. All that's left is just a white blank with small pieces of knowledge in it.

Naruto is sensitive about his past being brought up, but will hide his emotions from others so as not to worry them. He wants to remember his whole past and find out who he is, because he feels incomplete without it.

-NARUTO'S WEAPONS-

Hiraishin Kunai - Naruto uses the seal on these special three pronged kunai to teleport anywhere he's thrown them, which allow him to out maneuver his enemies. When fighting, Naruto uses ten of these, but will usually have one or more planted elsewhere as a means of escape if needed.

Explosive Shuriken - Specially made shuriken developed by Hoshi Labs. These shuriken are created to take out multiple targets as soon as they are embedded in an object. These can be manually detonated.

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Grenades - Specially made grenades developed by Hoshi Labs by the end of the Omnic Crisis. These grenades were initially ment to deal with omnics by temporarily knocking out their electrical systems and weaponry, but the war ended before they were complete. However, these come in handy to Naruto for dealing with enemies that use electronic weaponry and/or special battle suits. These can be manually detonated. (The ones from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare)

WESTAR-35 blaster pistols - Specifically made blasters developed by Hoshi Labs that are much more efficient then today's guns with almost unlimited ammo. Naruto can quickly draw these blasters and fire them in rapid succession in the blink of an eye. These pistols also feature a stun setting and require low-maintenance. (Mandalorian blaster pistols from Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Plasma Katana - A specially designed sword developed by Hoshi Labs. This sword was a prototype created during The First Omnic Crisis with an energy blade sharp and hot enough to cut through any material; initially omnic armor as thick as a tank. Naruto might have lost his memory, but he quickly learns that he is very officiant with a sword and masters wielding this one and putting it to actual use. (To see what this sword looks like, look for the Plasma Katana WiP Render by Shiro-Itami on Deviantart). The sword is contained in a gun sheath (i.e. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's Jetstream Sam), which Naruto keeps on his back or side, the latter for Iaijutsu techniques (i.e. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's Raiden).

-NARUTO'S ABILITIES-

Ninjutsu - Naruto can use multiple elemental techniques for either offense, defense, or support. This includes his Shadow Clone Jutsu, Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, etc.

Kenjutsu - Naruto regained some of his memories and learned that he has several sword techniques that no other swordsman alive has thank to his teacher: a girl with purple hair with a cat mask…

Fuijutsu - Some memories of Naruto returned and showed him that he could create and use seals for multiple purposes, but mostly sealing away items and weapons, or to create his Hiraishin seals for fast travel.

Hiraishin - Naruto can teleport to wherever this seal is at, usually on his Hiraishin kunai. However, he can also place this seal on someone in order to teleport to their location or teleport them to him. Naruto can also use the seal to teleport his Hiraishin kunai to his location to keep enemies from obtaining them.

Fast Healing - Naruto's body can heal quickly from any wounds inflicted on his person.

Chakra Control - Naruto can use this ability to both make his attacks with blades sharper or use it to walk on walls, ceilings, water, and much more. This comes in handy for when Naruto needs to be stealthy and hide from his enemies.

Transformation Jutsu - Naruto uses this technique for battle, intelligence gathering, and diversions.

Ultimate Ability: Hiraishin Clone Strike - Naruto throws all of his Hiraishin kunai all around the area, creates a shadow clone for each one, and teleports them each to where a Hiraishin kunai is. This allows them to completely surround multiple enemies before unleashing a powerful ninjutsu attack; which can range from a Rasenshuriken, a fireball, or a false darkness.
