Recap
After their flight had finally touched down Naruto and Menma had begin to search New York City for a secret base of operations after two hours of searching they finally found an abandon warehouse within the city of Manhattan.
They would then unpack all their equipment Menma glances at Naruto with his kusarigama in hand gains a serious experssion "we've found a base but now what do we do?" asked Menma in a curious tone.
Naruto grabs his Double Bladed Ninja Sword Staff Spear and places it on his back he then grabs his mask and puts it own and turns to Menma "our next step is to get intel and the only way for that is to enter the under world." said Naruto.
Menma grins at this he then grabs his mask "it's time to Manhattan to know what a whirlpool is truly capable of." stated Menma the two ninja siblings exit out of the warehouse and hoop to the roft.
Naruto and Menma look down on city as they watch someone steal a car, rob a liquor store, and shot someone then run off with their shoes and wallet "well it shouldn't be too hard we are in New York." said Naruto he and his brother then jump from roft to roft trying to find anyone that looks shady enough to know who the Foot Clan are. But while the two had bern searching for hours they come across something strange four mutant turtles fighting six thugs who are wearing a purple dragon on each of their clothing.
Naruto turns to Menma and nods his head Menma swings his weapon and decapitates a thug shocking the thugs and strange turtles. A turtle wearing a red mask stares in shock "what the shell!" yelled the turtle.
Naruto and Menma then drop down shocking the thugs and turtles "well, well, it seems like tonight is our night." said Menma in a dark tone the turtles and thugs could only wonder who are these two people.
Recap End
Naruto then swirls is double sided blade "I'll say it's time to slice and dice. " grinned Naruto with a dark look he then runs towards a purple dragon thug and stabs a man through his stomach he then turns towards the remaining thugs and turtles "we have some questions and your going to answer them. " said Naruto in a tone of authority.
But even with the tension becoming thick as ice the thugs charge at him "get them! " roared the thugs who plans on getting revenge on the two masked ninjas who'd just killed one of their own he didn't know who these two were but he didn't care.
The Turtles could only stare in confusion they had no clue who these two masked ninjas were as far as the turtles were aware they and the Foot Clan were the only ninjas in New York the turtle with the orange mask turned towards the turtle towards their leader who is wearing a blue mask "do you think these guys are with the Foot Clan Leo?" asked the nunchuck wielding turtle.
Leonardo narrows his eyes warily at the two ninja siblings "I don't think so Mikey. These guys don't appear to be wearing any Foot Clan emblem so I have to say no. " said Leonardo not only was Leonardo cautious about these two mysterious figures but he also didn't like the idea of two new foes him and his brothers might face to fight after all him and his brothers already have to deal with aliens, mutants, ninjas, and the Purple Dragons sure the Purple Dragons weren't anything like the Foot or the Utrom but Leonardo honestly didn't feel like having to fight another foe mostly because him and his siblings had to fight Karai just last week.
Raphael then turned towards Michelangelo "why don't you asked them." said Raphael while he was known for his hotheaded nature he honestly didn't like the idea of just rushing in recklessly sure he's done that before when these two are unknown and he wasn't sure what they were capable of the last thing the angered filled turtle is getting his shell destroyed.
Michelanglo turns towards Raphael with a horrified expression "no way dude! I want to keep my head!" exclaimed Michelangelo he'd rather not go in charging at the two masked ninjas recklessly not only was it a bad idea but it was also stupid and not something a ninja would ever do.
The four turtles watch as Menma drop to the ground having the thug behind him hit the thug that's in front of him with a metal pipe. Menma then kicks the thug behind him with both feet he then jumps into of the thug in front if him gives a furious left punch the turtles and the other Purple Dragons are greeted to the sound of bone cracking. Menma is then sent flying due to the other thug grabbing him by the neck tossing him towards the ground he quickly gets up and dodges the fury slashes from the pipe Menma then slashes at the man's ribs he then screams in pain as Menma kicks him directly in the chest a Purple Dragon snarls "die bastard!" roared the man in anger.
Menma narrows his ocean blue eyes "tsk, you can try. " said Menma the young shinobi dodges the small blade as the blade is within the personal space of the red-haired teen he skillfully wraps his chain around the man's wrist. The man then screams in pain as his hand is broken the young redhead then jams the blade of his kusarigama into the thug's skull "you were saying." states Menma as he pulls out the blade not even caring about the blood spilling out of the now dead corpse Menma and Naruto are now back to back glaring at the three the last remaining Purple Dragons "okay this is weird I'm not too surprised about these gangbangers since New York is known for having them but what truly confuses me is the giant turtles. Ugh, Naruto and I will have to deal with these turtles after these idiots. " thought Menma.
Menma's eyes then glanced towards his blonde-haired twin brother "you ready? " asked Menma who twirls his kusarigama.
Menma could've sworn he saw a twinkle within his brothers purple colored eyes "I'm always ready so now there's only three left. " said Naruto.
Menma then smirked towards the angered "correction there's three dead corpse." said Menma.
"Why you little!" roared a gang member running at the two with a metal bat Menma then swirls his kusarigama around and swings it at the thug he screams in utter pain as his eye had been sliced to pieces Menma then wraps the chain around his foe's hand and yanks it towards him Menma then knees the man the man harshly in the face but as the redhead's knees come in contact with the man's face breaking his nose on contact Naruto then hoops over his brother and toss the goon at the other two thugs.
The two thugs then fall to the hard ground as they rise to the floor they see Naruto crouched down with Menma standing ontop of his brother glaring at the three thugs, the thugs and the twins glare at each other "slice and dice!" roared Menma he then crouched down launches himself off of Naruto's back as if he was jumping off a spring board as he then grabs a thug by the head and slammed his knee into their face shattering his nose completely.
Naruto then several of shuriken nailing thugs head on Naruto then flips over his brother he swirls his double sided sword he quickly separated the man's hand he then slashes at the other man's stomach and slicing it. The man could only look in horror as he watches his very intestines released from stomach but his look of horror vanished as Naruto's very blade was pierced right though skull. One of the gang members look in horror and anger with him being blinded with anger he charges at Naruto with bloody murder ready to carve in the blonde-haired Japanese teen with his pocket knife but before can even continue his revenge he coughs up blood he looks down and sees Naruto's blade pierced through his very own chest.
"Y-Y-You s-s-son of a bi-bit-bitch!" snarls the Purple Dragon painting his teeth with his very own blood the man rises his hand ready to stab Naruto but his eyes are left open with shocked he then slowly looks down and sees Menma's own blade lodged into his neck both siblings then removed their weapons from the now dead corpse.
The two then turned to see the last remaining thug with a 9mm pistol but Naruto quickly throws a kunai into the barrel the man attempt to shot at the two but the gun backfires damaging the man's hand he then grips his hand in pain Naruto then rushes towards him and quickly decapitates him without mercy the two twins then turned towards the turtles.
"Who the shell are you guys!" yelled Michelangelo staring at the two ninjas who has his nunchucks out swirling them Michelangelo also had feelings this isn't going to be like fighting against Fishface or someone like Dogpound the last thing him and his brothers wanted was another Karai "dude this so not fair! I thought we and the Foot were the only ninjas in New York." thought Michelangelo Donatello the purple masked turtle slaps his brother in the back of the head Michelanglo then whipped his head back at his genius brother "that hurt dude!" exclaimed Michelangelo as he rubs the back of his head.
"Good I hope it did! Maybe next time not to YELL AT THE GUYS WHO JUST KILLED THOSE PURPLE DRAGON goons! " roared Donatello glaring daggers at his idiotic brother who can be a real idiot at times and tonight was not the time to act stupid.
Leonardo glares at Michelangelo to strink back not wanting to be scolded by his leader of a brother "Donnie is right Mikey you saw them didn't you they killed them without mercy. " scolded Leonardo acting like the voice of reason.
Raphael just shrugged his shoulders "but killing members of the Purple Dragons isn't anything too seriously I mean one of us can easily take one of these guys on our own." stated Raphael who didn't see anything special about killing members of the Purple Dragon.
Leonardo couldn't help but to agree with his hot tempered sibling "that is true but did you see how they used their weapons and killed those guys?" asked Leonardo turning towards Raphael the sai wielding Turtle nods his head and narrows his eyes at his brother "they were trained to use those weapons and how to kill. " stated Leonardo he then turned towards Naruto and Menma with a piercing glare "who are you two?" asked very cautious Leonardo making sure it did not came out as a demand.
Naruto and Menma stares at each of the four turtles taking in their appearance each of the turtles had each the height of 5'5. Leonardo has blue colored eyes and wears a blue mask husk skin is an emerald green, Raphael has green colored eyes and he has a dark green like skin tone, and a red colored masked, Donatello's eyes are purple and dawns a purple mask his skin is like a green-brown type of skin tone, and Michelangelo has yellow colored eyes, he as a vibrant grass green like skin, and he wears an orange bandana. Each of the turtles has wrapping bandages over there arms, elbows, and shins, over their wrapping bandages they wear protective shin guards, and each turkey has their own weapon holder they also have a small pouch attached towards their weapon holder containing shurikun, kunai, grappling hook, and smoke bombs.
The two were confused at what they were looking at but seeing as the turtles had yet attacked them either meant they are very intelligent or that they are being very cautious around them. Naruto then digs into his pocket causing the turtles to narrow their eyes in suspicion at the sword wielding ninja he then pulls a black round sphere from his pocket he then throws it towards the ground as it makes contact with the hard concrete a huge smoke envelopes the two Uzumaki twins. "Shit! Smoke bomb! " grumbled Raphael.
But once the smoke screen vanished the two brothers were gone Donatello released from his mouth and rubs the back of his head he then turned towards Leonardo "so, what do we do now Leo? Their gone and no doubt hide in the shadows like us." stated Donatello.
Leonardo then turned towards Donatello "did you put a turtle-tracer on them Donnie?" questioned Leonardo.
Donatello shook his head with a sigh "sorry, I'm afraid not. Who knows where they might be. " said Donatello.
Michelangelo turned towards Leonardo "so what now bro? Should we stay on look out or head back to lair?" asked Michelangelo in curiosity and he honestly wanted to get back to reading his He-Man comic book.
"Seeing as there's no Kraang, Foot, or a new mutant around then let's head home...after a two hour of rooftop training." said Leonardo causing h8s three brothers to groan in displeasure since Michelangelo wanted to read some comic books, Donatello wanted to experiment on his turtle-tracer and a few other of his experiments the genius turtle has, and Raphael wanted to do some of his own personal training and wanted to see how his pet turtle Spike is doing.
While the turtles quickly left the scene they were to go train on the rooftops they were being watched by Naruto and Menma who were on a building hiding within the shadows narrowing their eyes in suspicion Menma then turned towards Naruto "so what do you?" asked Menma.
Naruto then runs his hand over his chin "it's clear that those turtles are clearly trained." said Naruto but underneath his mask his violet-eyes narrowed in suspicion Naruto had honestly believed that the Foot Clan was the only ninjas within New York but it's obvious that isn't the case.
"Do you think they are with the Foot Clan? I mean who knows what they do in their free time." stated Menma but he honestly didn't want to think about what the dark and twisted Foot Clan did in their free time.
Menma watches as Naruto shook his head negatively "no, I don't think so. If they were I'm sure they would be wearing the Foot Clan and they would try to attack but that isn't the case. " said Naruto.
Menma narrows eyes at the streets of New York watching as everyone walks by without a care in the world he then sees police cars and ambulance pick up each of the dead corpse that him and his brother had literally cause he then shifts his focused back to his brother as he watches families walk by happily "if that's the case then who the hell trained them even though we didn't fight them I doubt they are by any means weak. " said Menma.
The blonde-haired shinobi nods his head in agreement and released a sigh from his lips "not only that but we are aware who their sensei might be or how skilled they are but what I'm really curious about is what else does this city have?" said Naruto.
Menma raised an eyebrow "you think there's more of them more of those turtle creatures?" question Menma curiosity.
He watches as his sibling shook his head negatively "more of those turtles no. But more other strange creatures yes and who knows what else this city has. " said Naruto.
"So, what you think New York is the focus point of strange things happening?" questioned Menma with his eyebrow raised in suspicion and wondered.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders "who knows I mean those turtles and the Foot Clan is here so, who knows what else might be here. But, we can't allow any of those things distract us from our goal. " said Naruto.
Menma nods his head in agreement even if New York had housed some type of other strange mutant it would not stop them with their goal of vengeance. "Right, whoever we have to go against they'll end up as another corpse." said Menma with a hardened expression on his face.
Naruto then nods in agreement with his brother It doesn't matter who or what stands in their away both him and Menma won't hesitate to end that threat that dares stands in their way. They may not be prepared for whatever the city had under its wraps but him and his red-haired twin will eliminate that obstacle. No, they won't not this gang, turtles, or some other thing will stand in our way nothing will stand in our way for our vengeance we will avenge our parents by killing Tatsu and Shredder. " said Naruto.
Menma agreed with his brother he then looks down in the ground seeing a crowd of teenagers "so what do we do now? Keep searching or should we head back? " asked a curious Menma.
Naruto then released a sigh from his lips "head back I'm tired and we need rest we'll contiune our Search in the morning plus we still need to get a feel around here. So, let's home." said Naruto he would rather continue searching but his body is extremely tired from the flight over.
"Right. " said Menma both of the siblings then begin to hoop to rooftop back to their hideout, but Menma couldn't help but to agree with Naruto he too was feeling quite tired from the flight "we also have to buy food and other utilities for our new home. " stated Menma he then smiled underneath his mask he was quite happy him and Naruto hadn't felt Japan with only the cloth Les on their but with them being only 16 years of age getting some of the things will be hard but the two brothers will get through it he just knew it afterall giving up wasn't something an Uzumaki just didn't do and to the young Uzumaki siblings give up just wasn't in their vocabulary.
"True, we'll need to get our base set up and up to living conditions. We can't just live in a warehouse filled with cobwebs, insects ,and rats. " said Naruto while both wants to continue finding clues about the Foot Clan but they need their new lair to actually be liveable so for now their first priority is to set up their home. But both siblings released a groan at realising they'll have to go shopping for furniture and cooking supplies.
Location: New York Sewers
While in most cases a sewer couldn't look like it can be live in but that isn't the case because this isn't just any sewer place no this is the home of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Within the living a person can be seen drinking green tea this individual is none other than Splinter who was once known as Hamato Yoshi. Master Splinter is a dark grey mutant rodent with long black whiskers who is 6'2 in height he has autumn colored eyes, he has his wrist wrapped in grey bandages and ninjutsu master wears an maroon colored kimono. Master Splinter's ears begin to twitch as he hears the footsteps of his children "ah, back so soon from your scouting?" asked Master Splinter who's eyes are closed as he drinks his calming tea.
Each of the turtles shook their heads negatively Michelangelo chuckles nervously, Donatello rubs the back of his neck with an unsure expression on his face, Raphael looks to the opposite direction side with his arms crossed, and Leonardo released a conflicted sigh. The four turtles would then bow to their master in respect "not quite sensei, something happened when we were on our daily routine." said Leonardo.
Master Splinter open his eyes he turned to look at the turtles with a curious expression "how so my sons? "asked Master Splinter who is wondering what has caused his adoptive turtle children/student so much worry.
Leonardo rub his head in a nervous manner "ehehe, well sensei we'd had ran into some trouble." states Leonardo unsure what kind of reaction his sensei/father will react.
Master Splinter then runs his clawed fingers through his furry face he then raised an eyebrow at Leonardo "trouble? What kind of trouble? Was it the Foot, Kraang, or a new mutant?" questioned Master Splinter.
He watched as each of the turtles shook their heads negatively making the former human stare in confusion and curiosity "we'd saw members of the Purple Dragon attempting to break in the back door of a jewelry store but before we can even fight them these two guys stepped in and kIlled them. " said Donatello.
"Not only that sensei but they two used a kusarigama and a double-sided sword and they were trained in ninjutsu just like us. " said Raphael this had caused Master Splinter to narrow his eyes in suspicion and caution.
"Were these two ninjas with the Foot?" question Master Splinter.
Each of them had shook their head negatively "no, they didn't have the Foot emblem on them anywhere. And they were wearing a mask but did you know anyone who used such weapons?" asked Donatello.
Their sense shook his negativity "no, can't say I have Donatello but it appears we have an unknown factor. We do not know who these masked ninjas are or of their identity we also are unaware of their goal but seeing as they do not have the Foot emblem on their person I believe it is safe to say they are not with the Foot Clan but we are also unaware of their motives." states Master Splinter who takes a sip from his tea these two unknown ninjas could be quite a problem for the two of them.
Michelangelo then grips the side of his head with a look of freaking out "ugh, dude this is so confusing! I mean I thought we and Foot were the only ninjas within the Big Apple! I mean who knows who they are!" exclaimed Michelangelo.
"As loud and annoying Mikey is he's right all we know these two could've been hired by the Shredder!" exclaimed Raphael aftercall him and his brothers would never excepted Chris Bradford and Xever Montes to mutate into Dogpound and Fishface but that happened but not only that he and his brothers had face many other mutants.
Master Splinter then turned towards Raphael "or they could simply have their own agendas I believe it is too soon to dodge what their true motives are my son? Don't you?" asked Master Splinter.
Raphael sighs with a bow at noticing his hot tempered got the better of him but his temper have got to him many other times. "Right, sensei sorry. But what do we do about them? "asked Raphael who needs guidance from their sensei after all he has already guided them to the more positive choices.
Master Splinter stroke his whiskers as he hums to himself "well I believe you must first analysis the situation you are in but you must still be cautious about these two mysterious figures and you do not know what their true intentions are. An unknown enemy could bring an unknown obstacle meditate on this could help clear your mind but the best choice to do in this kind of this type of situation is to be cautious and prepare of these two new opponents. Who knows they could be an enemy or they could be an ally remember my turtles the future is as unclear as the past." lectured Master Splinter.
"Hai l sensei!" exclaimed Leonardo who nods in agreement to their rodent master.
Master Splinter then smiles warmly at his children "now my sons who would like pizza!" exclaimed Master Splinter who puts a pizza box on the dinning table he opens the box and revealed the pizza to have mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and hamburger.
Michelangelo's mouth began to water as he stares at the delicious box of pizza "ME! " exclaimed Michelangelo.
"Like hell!" exclaimed Raphael tackling Michelangelo to the ground Donatello and Leonardo also jump onto the other turtles not allowing Michelangelo to eat the whole box of pizza like he has before many other times Master Splinter could only watch in amusement

The redhead teenager smiles at the two with a shrug of her shoulders "it's my bad I should've been looking where I was going." apologized the red-haired girl.
"Correction it's both of your thoughts. I mean really stopping in a crowded sidewalk." stated the ravenette with a smile on her face and her voice laced in a joking manner "by the way I'm Irma and this is April. " said Irma who's pointing at her red-haired friend.

"So, you two new here? "asked April this comment had caused both to sigh.
"Is it that obvious?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop coming down on his head.
Both females nod their heads"yeah pretty much what are you two looking for?" asked April.
"I guess somewhere that sells a TV and electronics in general. Do either of you two know where we can buy one? " asked Naruto.
"Yeah we do we can take you if you like?" asked April both Naruto and Menma nods their head in a rapid pace causing both Irma and April to giggle at the two brothers antics it was quite similar to the turtles she's friends with. She then smiles at the two "okay follow us." said April with a smile.
"Just don't run in to someone this time. " joked Irma causing the two siblings to snicker this comment had caused April to blush in embarrassment she then walks in a fast pace with her current friend and two in new friends to follow behind.
