Disclaimer: I donot own Naruto or Justice League; if I would have I would have changed Naruto's ending
CHAPTER 1: Beginning
"Where the hell am I?" muttered our hero as he look into his surroundings.
"So you are awake…. Naruto" hearing a familiar voice Naruto turned to see his oldest companion, his partner Kurama standing proudly although his size seemed to have shrunk.
"Hey, Kurama where the hell am I and why the hell are you so short ?" Naruto asked with hands waiving frantically.
Kurama sweatdropped at his partners reaction. Can't he realize that he and that damn Uchiha had died due to the injuries the sustained in their final battle at the valley of end.
"You are dead Naruto. From the look of things I think this is heaven" Kurama muttered dryly.
He got up and saw a magnificent and peaceful landscape. A huge waterfall and lake and grass and trees were as far as the eye could see.
"Wow, so this is heaven." Naruto said.
"I guess, the waterfall is a nice touch."
"Yeah it is" Naruto replied to his partners comment as his mind flashed over his entire lifetime. "So what next?" he asked to which the nine tail fox just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well I think I can answer that." A voice said as Naruto and Kurama turned to see a young man with dark hair, wearing a jeans and hoodie standing He was holding a staff on one hand and holding a book on another hand.
"It's nice to finally meet you Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" he said with a smile on his face.
"It's just Uzumaki...So who are you? Are we really in heaven?" Naruto fired off
"Sheesh what's with 20 questions kid. What happened to the prankster who used to paint bomb the entire Hokage mountain?" the being asked with the smile on his face.
"This person he knows about Naruto and the aura he is giving is far greater than Kaguya… Who is he?" Kurama thought as he settled to glare at the individual who seeing his look just winked at him.
"Well you can refer to me as the gatekepper of sorts. You see my job is well to take the souls to either hell or heaven and well you are a special case, for I can count on my fingers there are only a few people like you who got to meet me here in this void between life and death" the being said.
"But why am I here? Am I getting punished for something" Naruto asked with Kurama beside him tensing knowing that even if he tried he wouldn't be able to defeat a divine being.
"No nothing of that sorts. You see we have been keeping an eye on you for a long time." the being said
"Why?" Naruto asked, concerned by the fact that the divine beingwere so interested in him.
"Well it is our job to look after the mortals but my boss was touched by your strength, young one. Out of the many people we have observed you are most unique. You have a pure heart and even purer soul. Despite how you were treated, you rose above that to help the people of the world and now because of your actions the Shinobi world is at peace. Hell you were even able to stop the brothers war which we never thought could have ever happen" Gatekeeper said.
"He he, it was nothing." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"You have done much to change your world and now it is decided by the higher ups to offer you the chance to do it again. Sasuke was given a similar chance but he decided to pass on and enjoy his afterlife with his family" the being said.
"Well I am glad that Sasuke can finally be at peace. Another chance at life heh who would have thought….." Naruto asked.
"It is an exception which is made for you. On a personal note I would advise you to take it."The being said as Naruto and Kurama stared in shock.
"I accept." Naruto said after thinking for a long time
"Well I am glad. Now let me tell you in this new life you will have certain surprises and to overcome those surprises Kurama will be there to help you all the way"
"Really that's so cool dettabayo" Naruto shouted raising his hands up in air
"Yeah I can see where you are coming from. Someone needs to be there to keep this idiot on line" Kurama said while smirking at Naruto who it seems really wanted to throttle him.
"Well okay not let me advise you both guys" he said without a trace of amusement causing both of them to gain serious look "Don't puke"
Naruto and Kurama didn't had any time to react as a portal opened just beneath their feet sucking them in.
"Oh I do hope they like the changes done to them. Oh well now lets look at the universe where those monkey people live." The gatekeeper said to himself as he went away whistling merrily
Meanwhile
As Naruto and Kurama crossed the portal, they felt pain they have never felt before. Kurama turned into pure energy and seeped inside Naruto due to which his chakra coils were in a constant state of fluctuation. As Naruto crossed the portal he found himself enduring an unimaginable amount of pain causing him to cry out. The last thing he heard before falling to sleep was a male voice telling him something.
Bruce was patiently sitting on the chair, swinging his tiny legs to entertain himself. This was not an easy feat to accomplish for a four year old since they had been in the hospital for a long time now waiting for the baby to come, but somehow he managed. It helped that Bruce was imagining all the fun things he would do with his little brother once they got back home.
Mean while, his father was pacing outside of the waiting room anxiously as Alfred watched on with hidden amusement.
"Master Wayne, I believe if you continue in that manner, you'll wear the floor out in no time at all" Alfred commented lightly, eyes crinkling in mirth.
Thomas Wayne stopped and looked over at the other man with a sheepish smile.
"I can't help it, Alfred" his father said before he finally went over to sit beside them. "Even when Bruce was born, I was so nervous that another doctor had to take over for me."
He gazed up at his father, head tilting in curiosity. "Daddy was scared?" Bruce asked softly. It was hard to think a man like his father could ever be afraid; his father was always the one person Bruce ran to when he was scared and had nightmares about the bats entering his room.
The Wayne patriarch chuckled, placing a hand on his small head and smoothing back his hair. "Well, just a little, but it was also one of the happiest days of my life when you were born. It was the day I finally realized what being a Father is after all" Thomas Wayne admitted warmly.
Bruce grinned, glad that his father really wasn't that scared.
"A little?" Alfred repeated with skepticism. "I happen to remember a certain someone fainting at the first sign of labor and that was before we even arrived at the hospital that day."
His father coughed suddenly, face coloring red before saying, "Let's not get into that, Alfred. I was under the weather, that's all."
"If you say so, Sir" their butler agreed in a tone that said otherwise.
Before any more words were spoken, the sound of a baby's cry rang out in the room, signaling the arrival of the new member of the Wayne family.
His father quickly stood up, excitement and anxiousness returning at once.
A few minutes later, a nurse soon approached them with a smile. "Congratulations, Dr. Wayne. You now have a healthy eight pound baby boy."
"And my wife? How is she? Can I see the both of them right now?" his father asked, barely containing himself from rushing inside the room.
With the nurse's permission, the three of them entered the room where his mother was laying on the bed and holding a blue bundle in her arms.
"Oh, Martha," the Wayne patriarch let out, attracting his mother's attention.
She looked up, her expression morphing into pure bliss. "Thomas," his mother whispered, his father kissed her forehead affectionately and gazed down at the baby. The man then cradled the precious bundle in his own arms.
"Mommy? Are you okay?" he asked with worry, seeing how tired she appeared.
His mother caressed his cheek. "I fine, sweetheart. A good day's rest, and I'll be back to normal in no time."
Confirming that his mother was okay, he then turned to his father who was carefully holding the baby as he sat down on a chair beside the bed. "My little prince..." the man breathed with awe.
It was at this time that Bruce finally took a first glimpse at his little brother, blonde hair covered the head around a pinkish face. Then slowly, the small eye-lids began to open, revealing them to be blue as the sky.
Bruce could not help but stare deeply into those eyes, feeling a connection to his brother immediately. It was not something that he could explain; he just felt it and in that moment he decided to protect his little brother no matter what.
Noticing the difference in hair color than the rest of the family he turned to his father and asked "Daddy why is his hair not like us?"
"Yes, they are different hair color aren't they... he has my mother's hair," his father whispered out with such a gentleness only reserved for those he loved.
Bruce blinked at that. "Grandma?"
He received a nod in return before his father glanced back at him. "This is your brother, Bruce. Welcome to family Nathan"
"Nathan" Bruce said the name amazed at how small Nathan was compared to his hand. Was he ever that small? Looking at his baby brother, it was hard to believe anyone could be so small. So fragile.
"Can we take him home now?" Bruce asked, wanting them all to return to the manor so he could show Nathan their home.
Shaking his head, Thomas Wayne replied, "Not yet, Bruce. He still has to stay just in case because a newborn is very vulnerable; it's for his safety that he remains here for now."
He nodded immediately in understanding. "Because he's so small..." his brows then bent in determination. "Don't worry, I'll protect him Daddy," Bruce proclaimed with all the seriousness a four year old could muster.
His father smiled proudly at him while baby Nathan yawned minutely before closing his eyes in sleepiness, in the security of his family.
Naruto's life as Nathan Wayne was certainly very good. His new family was one of the founding families of Gotham city alongside the Kane family, the Dumas family, the Cobbelpot family and the Elliot Family and thus there was a lot of paparazziabout the young scion of the Wayne family.
Thomas and Martha were the best parents apart from Minato and Kushina that he could have asked for. They basically pampered him and if it wasn't for his past life experiences he would have been spoiled. When they had brought him home to the manor, he had been constantly surrounded by their presence. Naruto discovered that his new parents were very compassionate people, always wanting to help others through donations. As their newborn son, they showered him with affection and tender care, though Naruto was unused to such attention as back in elemental nations people treated him with cold shoulders and stony looks and it really made him realized what all he had missed.
Still most of all, Nathan had grown quite fond of his brother. Bruce was so innocent and pure that he couldn't help but see how adorable his brother was a sentiment that he would definitely keep to himself. And true as any older brother, Bruce was quite protective of him. However, as the mentally older one amongst them, Nathan also felt the need to protect Bruce in return. It was quite an odd match but it suited him.
Alfred was in all sense his uncle figure. The family butler was what one could describe as how a perfect gentleman should be and had a dry sarcastic way of humor one that Naruto had started to enjoy during his training with Jiraiya.
As the years passed Naruto finally started to enjoy his new life at the Wayne Manor with his new family but his family broke apart one night when he was four years old. Like any other night it was a normal night and his parents had decided to go to the Monarch Theater to see the 1940 classic film Mask of the Zorro. Since Naruto wasn't feeling well he decided to stay back while forced his parents and his brother to go and see the film.
Had he knew what was going to happen he would have done something to stop them from going.
A few hours later police arrived at the manor and told them that his parents were killed during a mugging attempt. Naruto was crushed, he felt that he was again given a short end of the stick. Could the fates be really that cruel to first show him what it was like to have parents and then forcibly took them away? He didn't know the answer for that question but what he did knew was the fact that his elder brother needed him and without wasting any time he and Alfred made his way to the police station to see a distraught Bruce Wayne being comforted by an unknown policeman and Leslie Thompkins a very close friend to his father and who he referred as aunt Leslie.
The following months were emotionally difficult for the family. Bruce had became aloof preferring loneliness much to the sadness of Alfred and Naruto who were the only one the eldest Wayne heir wished to spent time with. Naruto could sense that even Alfred was also shaken by his parents death but like a gentleman he didn't let his sadness appear on his face.
The funeral was a big event. For Naruto it was a similar scene from that of Hiruzen's funeral; Every known name from Gotham had arrived to pay their their respect to Gotham's foremost surgeon and his wife. The board of directors had met the brothers after the funeral ensuring them that their company was in right hands.
Naruto could easily see the greed behind those people eyes but he didn't said anything. One thing which Jiraiya basically instilled in him was patience, he would step back for now but any indication that this board is doing some underhand method to destroy the Wayne name and he destroy them completely.
As the months passed everything began to settle normal well as normal as it can. Witnessing the death of their parents had motivated his brother to such a degree that he had decided to wage a war on crime and to do that he had started to prepare himself both mentally and physically. Day after day Naruto would see his brother coming after school and go to learn fighting from someone named Ted Grant.
Naruto knew that some way along the line he had to get back to his original training, Kurama had woken by by the funeral ended; the fox in a sense was happy that Naruto could at least have a normal life even it was for a short time and had decided to help the blonde to brush up his fuinjutsu skills, being sealed inside two foremost sealing masters as well as being personally taught the Sage of Six Paths when he was just a kit he easily helped him to advance his knowledge; from where Jiraiya left. As the years passed by Naruto soon became a topic of debate throughout the city. He was a certified genius having an IQ of 220 and by the time he had reached 12 he had already received various offers from various prestigious colleges all around the globe.
It was during that time that Bruce, who was 16 now had graduated, completing his college world tour and had decided to go on a journey to prepare himself for the path he had chosen. The brothers knew that it would be probably the last time they will meet each other for a very long time and both decided to make the most of the peaceful moments thay had as in for the next few years are going to be hectic.
"Master Nathan, it seems that your yesterday's stunt had gathered many people attention. Well considering the fact that water sphere suddenly appeared out of no where and doused a burning building, it was bound to get attention." Alfred said as he put down Naruto's breakfast and the days newspaper on the table as his youngest charge sat on the dining table. The blonde male had changed a lot in past four years. Gone the baby fat which he was famous for in his early years, the blonde now stood at the height of 6ft and 2 inch and he had the same spiky hair his father was famous for.
"Good morning Alfred. So what does the paper say about yesterday's events?" Naruto asked as he read the news paper "A burning orphanage got saved from its imminent destruction. Act of God or something else. Well it seems that the religious section of the paper got its quota full" he concluded with amusement dancing in his eyes.
"I don't think that it is amusing Master Nathan. You are lucky that no one saw you or it would have cause you more problems. Moreover do you really think that mutant groups wouldn't take notice of this?" Alfred asked as he sat by Naruto's side. Ever since Bruce had left on his journey Naruto had made a rule which made it mandatory for Alfred to have days meals with him, something which the butler would never accept but enjoyed nevertheless.
"Yeah well I'll be careful next time. Now let me finish this before Dinah returns. God knows how much trouble I am in for missing her birthday" Naruto said as he sat down and hurriedly finished his breakfast.
"Well I hope you are strong enough to face the incoming crisis, wrath of an angry girlfriend can make even the strongest men cower and run for shelter" Alfred thought as he saw his charge making plans to pacify his angry girlfriend.
Yup his charge was screwed and this time he was going to enjoy this.
While Naruto was making plans to pacify his angry girlfriend; In upstate New York Professor Xavier of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, psychologist, world-renowned speech maker, and peacemaker, was sitting on Cerebro a device created by his old friend Henry McCoy in order to find out what exactly happened a day before in Gotham city.
Apparently while he was making some lesson plans for his students, the Cerebro began to jingle-jangle its alarm. Giving a look to Logan and Ororo he made his to the Cerebro chamber to find out what has actually happened. After putting on his helmet which increases his mental capacity he was relieved to find out that the mansion was not being attacked. However on finding the source of the disturbance he was shocked to find that it came from none other than Nathan Wayne and from the readings he was getting were quite astonishing.
From what he could gather Nathan was an Omega level mutant that had activated his powers at an early age and was very capable of using them. His powers were some kind of energy manipulation which allowed him to control elements. Sure he could do more but Charles wasn't able to gather much. It seems that the Wayne scion had very powerful mental defences and maybe that's why Cerebro couldn't detect him till now.
Deciding to meet the youngest Wayne as soon as possible Charles removed his helmet only to see Logan and Ororo standing and looking at him worriedly
"Welcome back Charles, did you find something? You were in there for a very long time. All the children were especially worried about you" Ororo asked and beside her Logan just grunted athough if one could see he was quite worried as well.
"The alarms were caused by a very powerful mutant an Omega level while trying to save people in a burning building" Charles replied while both Ororo and Logan felt uncomfortable hearing about an Omega level mutant
"Is Blackbird ready for flight or do we have to take a commercial flight bub?" Logan asked
Xavier nodded. "Yes the Blackbird is ready for action, I think we will see how the new upgrades will work. Ororo.. Logan.. the power readings are exceptionally high and controlled, we cannot allow this person to fall in wrong especially when Mystique is busy recruiting mutants."
Logan grunted but inside he was happy about the trip. He was getting bored sitting all day at mansion and teaching brats. Well this trip could help him relax a bit even if it was Gotham
Ororo on the other hand, kept her mind on business. "How exactly are we going to explain to the kids that we need to go to Gotham."
Xavier coughed uncomfortably. "Well that my dear I think we can let in your capable hands. I need to stay here and figure out where specifically the signal is coming from."
"I'll see if I can boost the Blackbird's range," said Logan quickly. "That way we won't have to take a commercial flight."
As Logan hurried out and Xavier started to ignore her pointedly, Ororo scowled a little, but that was all the emotion she would allow herself. She needed to remain calm in order to not affect the local weather conditions. She still took a moment, though, to imagine some kind of retribution falling on their heads for this before she sighed and walked out of Cerebro's chamber.
"I am so screwed" Naruto thought as he dodge the incoming barrage of kicks and punches from her irritated girlfriend.
How long has it been since they have been sparring? Approximately 2 hours if his senses don't fail him but still he couldn't help but keeping a smile forming on his face. From his early years Naruto liked challenges and the blonde bombshell in front of him was as usual giving him one, just like she had been since they met four years ago. Dodging her attempt to kick his head Naruto sped past her guard and holding her waist tightly flipped her to the other side of gym causing her to balance herself mid air and land on her feet. Feeling little bit of exhaustion, Naruto took a clear look at her and couldn't help but mesmerize at the beauty standing at the other side of the gym.
She had beautiful blonde hair that shaped up her face quite nice, add that to beautiful blue eyes and luscious lips made her look like an angel, but that did not undermine how much of an ass kicker she really is. The blonde eyes were locked to her boyfriend and she watched him with hunger in her eyes. She had average amount of muscles but that did not took away her desirable feminine form. She wore a tight black spandex top that wrapped around a set of sizable D-Cup breasts. The tight spandex workout pants that she wore fit around her luscious legs and rear like a second skin. She did not wear a pair of shoes for this workout session, showing her elegant and beautiful feet with perfect little toes.
Her name was Dinah Laurel Lance, she was eighteen years old and had been in relationship with our blonde hero for past two years. She had been trained by Ted Grant, the former Heavyweight Champion of the world in boxing and a celebrated masked hero in his day known as Wildcat, butas years passed Grant had developed a heart condition that caused him to reluctantly take a less active lifestyle. Naruto had went to learn boxing under him when he was twelve and had met her around that time.
Dinah was his favored protégé, he'd trained her as favor to her mother due to the rather close connection they shared both of them being super heroes during the golden age of heroes. Dinah it seemed took more after her mother and from an early age had decided to take her mantle of Black Canary. Dinah's father Larry Lance, who was currently posted at GCPD alongside Jim Gordon and her mother initially tried to prevent her but seeing her dedication soon decided to let her train under Ted.
Naruto and Dinah got off quite easily, first day they were seen chatting and after a few weeks they would behave as if they had known each other for years. Most of the time Dinah could be seen spending her whole day with Naruto at gym. Maybe that's why it wasn't much of surprise when they started dating when Dinah was around 16. It was around that time that Dinah's mother passed away leaving a void in the family. It was during this time Sara, Dinah's younger sister left to pursue education at Star city and Dinah decided to divert all of her time in training. It was only due to Nathan that she came out of her broody self. As the months passed they both got intimately close to each other eventually giving each other their virginity.
They were perfect couple completing each other like Yin and Yang. Thus it was not surprising to Naruto that well Dinah was trying to get some retribution for missing her party.
"Come on Dinah, I think it is enough, if we keep on doing this then well you are going to miss on the surprises I have in store for you" Naruto said hoping to placate her anger.
Dinah got still on the mention of surprises, regaining her breath she asked "Surprises?" and seeing him nod continued in mock anger "Well it seems that you aren't entirely hopeless Nate and I hope for your sake that they are upto the mark or else you'll be in for a solid ass kicking"
"Oh don't worry Miss Lance, this will be a night you will never forget" he said smiling as both went in to change their clothes.
As promised Naruto took Dinah for an opera show followed by sight seeing various places at gotham which hold very deep memories for both of them. Throughout the whole day they went doing various things with Dinah laughing and smiling all the way. At the end of the day he took her for a very lavish dinner at Gotham Sky which was one of the most famous restaurants in the city.
Normally people had to make reservations in monthsadvance to get a seat here but when you are the prince of Gotham city things like that do not apply to you. Sitting in his reserved booth Dinah and Naruto gave their orders.
"You know it was the first time you missed something like that and you wouldn't have done it for some small reason; so tell me what kept you Nate?" Dinah asked as she enjoyed the wine served to her.
Sighing Naruto tapped his fingers on the edge of the desk causing some seals to appear and then disappear after a few seconds. "Silencing seals" he clarified "Can't have anyone hear what I am going to tell you" he said as he sipped his wine.
"Well you remember the meteor shower that occurred a few year ago near Small ville right?" and seeing her look he continued "Well those meteors weren't the only thing that arrived that day. You know I could manipulate nature into sensing human beings; well for the last year I have been sensing different kind of energy coming from Small Ville. At first I thought it would be those meteor rocks, but a particular amount was very large to be that of a alien rock so well I did some digging and found out that there has been some sightings of a man known as 'blur'. Long story short I decided to delve more and….."
"And… come on Nate don't hang up on me" Dinah said
"Well I found that we are not alone in this world" Naruto said as he told her what basically occurred

Flashback Start
Naruto was standing at astral plane trying to figure out what the hell actually happened. He was trying to sense the being emitting that other wordly energy when some one just dragged his astral self to this fortress, which was well something to say.
"It's impressive isn't it?" said a voice causing him to turn around and meet one of the beautiful girls she had met in his entire life.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked his voice full of suspicion
"Relax I am not here to help you, infact I am quite happy to see you. You see I have been stuck here for past 18 years and well I need your help" the girl said.
Deciding to give her a chance Naruto sat down beside her on a chair she conjured, "Start talking, and don't leave anything"
"Well you see my name is Kara Zor-El and I am from a planet named Krypton; it was over two billion light-years from here, in the Xerius Galaxy…..." but before she could say anything more the surroundings started to shake
"Please you got to help me." Kara cried her voice cracking up as the astral plane began to crack.
"Don't worry I will" Naruto shouted as he found himself back in his room with their conversation being ended before it even began.
