The Psycho Rangers are sent to the Narutoverse after their final defeat.

This is the story of Naruto Uzumaki.

If you were looking for a story of how a boy fights to earn his happy ending in a dark world...You've found the wrong story.

You've found a story where his greatest victory leads to his downfall and eventual return. This is his story.

Psycho Red awakes in a white room, and sees his fellow Psycho Rangers, "What are you all doing here? I thought you were all destroyed."

Psycho Pink states, "Well it's about time you finally got here. I've been talking to him since I was destroyed, and he doesn't answer questions."

Psycho Black asks, "Him?"

Psycho Pink points to a man with skin almost blue, and no hair, in a simple robe. He nods, "Hello children. I am Zordon of Eltar."

Psycho Yellow asks, "Aren't you a prisoner of Dark Spectre?"

Zordon nods, "Correct. I still am. However, I will soon no longer exist in the physical world. This is the crossroads between the living and the afterlife. Since I am only in a time warp, I am forever in an influx of all realms. I have chosen to meet with you for your redemption."

The five start to fade, "It would seem the living call to you again."

Psycho Pink returns to the white room, and asks, "What happened now!?"

Zordon explains, "That would be the work of Trakeena and Deviot. The two had just brought you back to the physical world to battle the Galaxy Rangers. However, the corrupted resurrection made you forget this meeting. And you succeeded in your mission, the Pink Galaxy Ranger Kendrix had lost her life. But not for long."

Psycho Black asks, "Not for long? Can you see the future now?"

Zordon explains, "I have always seen the future of my reality. Kendrix will be resurrected when the power she died to protect is sealed away. And the rangers will continue to fight the good fight. All of these battles you have had against the Rangers is for nought. While there does need to be balance, good and evil will never triumph for long. It is the basis of reality."

Psycho Yellow questions, "And do we have something to do with reality?"

Zordon nods, "Correct. The soul you five are based on are not from this reality."

Psycho Red screams, "What do you mean!? Explain!"

Zordon shows them an image of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy with whisker marks in an orange jumpsuit, "This is Naruto Uzumaki. He is the soul you five originate from."

He shows them another scene, this one of a meeting between Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, King Mondo, Divatox, and Astronema with Dark Spectre. Dark Spectre booms, "My loyal allies. I bring a tool for each of you to use as you see fit: A functioning soul."

Zedd hisses, "A functioning soul? How is that possible, even the most pure of souls gathered to create monsters have glitches."

Dark Spectre explains, "There are two reasons: One, this soul is not of this reality, and it has been marred by greed and ambition to be denied to any proper afterlife."

King Mondo squeaks, "How is that possible, no amount of evil could deny a soul to an afterlife."

Dark Spectre states, "It isn't the evil of this soul. It's the evil done to the soul. It's whole life, it was vilified, and even the most heroic moment was twisted and distorted to resort in the destruction of mortal form."

Rita screams, "And this caused the soul to be denied the afterlife!? I'm getting a headache from trying to understand!"

Dark Spectre tells her, "Because the soul is jealous. It is jealous of the life it was denied, and so it wanders the mortal plane to look for a second chance. It will get the second chance."

Divatox smirks, "Ahh, well I am very thankful for you giving me this opportunity, Lord Dark Spectre."

Dark Spectre snorts, "This opportunity isn't for you, Divatox. It is for Astronema."

A blue orb appears before the purple haired girl, while Dark Spectre tells her, "Use the soul as you see fit, Astronema. Break it, shatter it, restore it, whatever you must. When the Power Rangers battle you, use it as you see fit."

Astronema bows, "Of course, Dark Spectre."

Astronema is in the heart of her personal ship, as Ecliptor enters in his distorted boy. He bows, "Astronema, the soul has been successfully inserted into the five cards."

Astronema smiles, "Good. Project Psycho can begin in earnest. Are the five suits ready?"

Ecliptor bows, "Yes, they only await a being to wear them."

Psycho Blue giggles, "Ah ha ha ha, so this is how we were born."

Psycho Yellow asks, "So we're each five beings with the same soul?"

Zordon explains, "A fragment of the soul. Each of you have one fifth of Naruto's soul. The rest were created by Astronema to make you willing to battle the Rangers and follow her."

Psycho Pink asks, "Naruto? Like the fishcake? What a stupid name."

Zordon smirks, "And a boy at that."

Psycho Yellow and Psycho Pink look down while Psycho Blue won't stop laughing. Zordon states, "Naruto Uzumaki, was born in a village in a world of ninja, where on the day he was born, a nine tailed demon fox bigger than any megazord attacked. It took the actions of the boy's father to save the village at the cost of his life. The fox was sealed within Naruto's very being, and has since then lived an anguished life where he is either hated or ignored for his fate. He strived for recognition his whole life, and would've gotten it, except for one fateful day."

Psycho Black asks, "What day?"

"The day his best friend betrayed the village."

The next image shows a boy wearing a blue shirt with white shorts and arm sleeves, with black hairs, black spikey hair, and a smile of arrogance, "This is Sasuke Uchiha. He was born into the villages illustrious Uchiha Clan. When he was a boy, he was the sole survivor of a massacre on the clan carried out by his own brother. He and Naruto are rivals, being on the same team of ninjas. One day, he was cursed by a dark warrior known as Orochimaru, which intoxicated him with power. Eventually, he felt he would get stronger following Orochimaru than he would in the village. So he fled. Naruto lead a team of friends to capture him. This reality, it is like our own. Where there are so many timelines created from different decisions. In many, Naruto loses the fateful fight against his rival, and fails the mission to retrieve Sasuke. In the timeline you are from, this is what happens…"

Naruto, coated in the aura of the Nine Tailed Fox, produces a purple sphere of energy, while Sasuke, consumed by his curse and now looks like a dark skinned monster with hand like wings, produces white lightning around his hand, with the sound of flapping wings heard throughout the battlefield. The two charge at each other, calling out the others name. When the attacks collided, both were grievously wounded, and fell to the ground. After that, a team of ninja find the two, and retrieve them.

Psycho Black looks to Zordon, "Alright. So he won a fight. How does this lead to his death?"

Zordon doesn't look up, almost starting to cry, "Keep watching."

In a prison cell with a lone candle for light, Sasuke Uchiha sits on the bench, sulking at his failure to defeat Naruto. Then a man with bandages covering most of his body, walking with a cane, and half of his wrinkled face free of wrinkles, enters the room, visible thanks to a lone candle. He speaks, "My name is Danzo Shimura. I am one of the elders of the village."

"What do you want? A confession?"

Danzo nods, "No, Sasuke. I offer you freedom."

Sasuke looks to him, "You see, I have been planning a coup of the Hokage since Sarutobi was Hokage. While he's allowed me leeway in some actions, but stymied me in others, I have been forming an army of ANBU right under everyone's nose. You see, ROOT wouldn't take action until it was at a valid moment. If you had succeeded in your escape, it would've been years from now. But since you're now here, it will be a lot quicker. With you, my forces can easily overthrow Princess Tsunade."

Sasuke glares, "Why should I care?"

Danzo smiles, "You will have vengeance. First, you'll be instated as the head of the Uchiha Clan, and as a part of clan restoration clauses, once you come of age, your seed will spread throughout the village until the clan is restored with your progeny. And plus, you'll have all the power you want. More than enough power to kill Uzumaki and Itachi. All you have to do is be loyal to me. What do you say?"

ROOT was swift and pragmatic. In less than an hour, Danzo was able to overthrow Tsunade, and force her on the run. The village elders had no choice but to install him as the Sixth Hokage. ROOT was able to keep those loyal to Tsunade from staging an uprising with threats and blackmail. Naruto was taken from the hospital bed he was resting in and taken to the coliseum where the Chunin Exams were held. The stands are filled mostly with those who actively hated him, with only 1% of them knowing him personally, with an air of self-loathing for being unable to help him. Danzo stands before a restrained Naruto, and speaks, "I am Danzo Shimura, the newly appointed Sixth Hokage! With the approval of the village, you, Naruto Uzumaki, are officially a traitor of the Village Hidden in the Leaves!"

Naruto screams, "WHAT!?"

One of the ROOT officers restraining him gags him so he won't speak, "You have dishonored the village and it's people, and have also attacked a clan head with intent to kill! Your sentence is death at dawn tomorrow!"

Most of the crowd cheered to this.

Naruto was placed in a straight jacket, and put into Sasuke's original cell, with ROOT operatives kicking him while he's down. He was allowed visitors between beatings, with his closest friends apologizing for them being unable to help him. One girl, a pink haired girl with green eyes, was crying, "I'm so sorry, Naruto! I should never have made you make the promise to return Sasuke! It's my fault this is happening to you!"

Naruto smiles warmly, "Don't worry, Sakura. As long as you and the others are safe. I'll be alright."

Sakura's eyes harden, "I heard there be talk that Sasuke will be your executioner. I demanded him an answer. He laughed like some villain in a film! He was bragging about it to me! He then had the gall to say that that he'd arrange it for me to marry him! I don't want him anymore after this, and that's not even thinking about him having some...Some...Harem!"

Naruto nods, "You feel violated. I'm sorry, Sakura. I'll make it better...Somehow."

She is forced to leave. Next to enter was Kakashi Hatake, who looks on mournfully, "...I am a terrible teacher. I let my guilt over everyone who ever died made me stifle you and Sakura. My fear for Sasuke's life in his battle against Gaara made me choose to train him over you. I broke my own rule...I'm worse than scum...For teaching somebody worse than scum. Naruto...I'm sorry."

Naruto shrugs, "You did nothing wrong, sensei. You were being human. Just look out for Sakura. She seemed pretty broken up."

Kakashi nods, "Of course."

He leaves with the sad look in his eye, then the monster enters with all his swagger, "Greetings, traitor."

Naruto snaps, "What do you want?"

Sasuke states, "I'm just here to see how the guilty is doing. Not very good I'd say. And I wasn't even wearing a straight jacket when I was in here."

Naruto snorts, "If you're here to brag about how you're going to kill me. Then go. I don't want to breath in the same space as you anymore."

Sasuke admits, "You're right, I did come here to brag about that. And to see the look in a little boys face of how his dreams won't come true. Actually, dreams are a good thing. Like becoming Hokage. What do you think, Naruto? Can you picture me as Hokage, have your dream?"

Naruto hisses, "You are no Hokage. You want to be Hokage out of spite. I'll admit, I had selfish reasons for wanting to be Hokage, at first, but I learned what it means to be Hokage. You don't. You'll never know what that means, or a shinobi. And you'll never beat Itachi."

Sasuke smiles, "But you'll be dead and I'll have the Mangekyou Sharingan. I won't be a shinobi. I'll be a strong shinobi. Strong enough to kill Itachi."

He leaves with an echoing cackle.

One final person sees Naruto.

"N-Naruto."

Naruto looks up from where he's sleeping, and sees a girl with lavender hair and pearl eyes.

"Hinata?"

Hinata begins to cry, "I-I'm sorry, N-Naruto. N-None of us knew anything about what D-Danzo was going to do, and when we did, it was too late. W-Well, I-I don't want to be too late now. I-If I don't, I-I'll never get the chance."

She swallows hard, "I-I love you, N-Naruto U-Uzumaki."

Naruto makes the connections, her shyness around him, the mannerisms, the moments of bravery when he encourages her, everything. Naruto stammers, "How have I never noticed? I'm sorry, Hinata. I should've noticed and maybe, it would've been beautiful."

A root officer enters, "Dawn is in five minutes, traitor. You're execution awaits."

Naruto snorts, "Ah, go screw yourself. I'm about to have a proper first kiss."

Hinata goes wide eyed, as naruto makes a quick peck on her lips. Naruto smiles the biggest grin he's ever had. The root officer states, "Hyuuga, it's time for you to leave."

Naruto is dragged away, as he mutters, "Here we go, judgement time."

He hears a voice, 'You know, of everybody I've temporarily died with before reincarnation, you've held the most grace with the knowledge, Kit. That's earned my respect.'

He states, "See you on the other side."

Naruto is brought back to the arena with the Root officers restraining him, while Danzo and Sasuke stare at him with the stands filled with the same audience as before. Sasuke asks, "Any last words, traitor?"

Naruto glares, "Don't. Miss."

Sasuke smirks, and launches at him with the Chidori. Naruto breaks free of the restraint and runs into the attack, as his heart stops beating, he looks into Sasuke's eyes, and sees that the Sharingan is unchanged. He smiles that he denied Sasuke a victory. But cries when he hears those closest to him screaming out in pain.

Psycho Red roars, "I'll kill him! I'll kill him to death for doing this to us!"

Psycho Black admits, "I think we all appreciate you showing us our past, but what do you expect us to do about it?"

Zordon explains, "Return. Right the wrong. Bring justice to the village hidden in the leaves."

Psycho Blue cackles, "As long as we kill some brat in blue, I'll be ecstatic!"

Psycho Yellow asks, "I don't understand. How is it that Sasuke didn't get the Mangekyou Sharingan? Better yet, how did Danzo get a legitimate claim on something as becoming Hokage."

Zordon answers, "Because he broke his bond with Naruto. It was no longer strong enough to form one. The only bond he feels strong enough for is his family. As for Danzo, he had convinced the lord of the country to allow the political coup."

Psycho Pink speaks up, "Well, what are we waiting for? It's time for revenge."

As they fade away, Zordon warns, "Revenge isn't the answer to everything. Just ask Sasuke, for it has clouded his judgement for years. Go to the Village Hidden in the Sand as quickly as you can, an old friend will need your aid. Say hello to Kurama for me."

As they completely faded, the five found themselves in a forest. Psycho Black points out, "This feels familiar."

Psycho Yellow tells them, "I sense a village, just over that hill."

The five start walking, and they eventually find themselves out of the forest, overlooking a bridge, and at the top of the hill, two modest graves. One of which with a sword as big as Psycho Pink. She blurts out, "This is Zabuza and Haku's grave. We're in the Land of Waves."

Psycho Blue giggles, "It's amazing how we now know so much about Naruto. It's like we were actually there."

Psycho Red snorts, "That's because we were there. Technically."

The Psycho Rangers stand over the grave for minutes, with Psycho Blue admitting, "Now that we're back...I feel nothing but regret…"

Psycho Yellow nods, "Yeah...Wait, how are we feeling regret? We were designed to destroy Power Rangers."

Psycho Pink thinks aloud, "Maybe it's because we weren't a long term plan. That's why we keep going crazy if we stay around for too long."

Psycho Red points out, "But we haven't gone crazy yet. Is this Zordon's work?"

Psycho Black shrugs, "Possibly. That or Naruto's personality is starting to overwrite our one track minds."

Psycho Pink steps forward, and grabs Zabuza's blade by the handle. Psycho Black asks, "What are you doing?"

Psycho Pink answers, "What does it look like, I'm getting a weapon."

Psycho Red shouts, "You can't do that! It's his weapon!"

Psycho Pink explains, "We're going up against an entire nation of assassins lead by a man who went from a nobody to Hokage overnight. We'll need all the weapons we can get. Plus, this weapon should be used for its intended purpose...The Neck Carving Blade, aimed right at Danzo."

Psycho Blue laughs, "And it'll be awesome. He he he."

Psycho Yellow snorts, "Whatever, let's get going."

Psycho Black points out, "We need to take on human guise before we head into the village. We'll stand out like the big bad psychobots."

Psycho Red inhales deeply, "I smell a fire. Look!"

He points to the edge of the bridge, connecting to the Land of Waves, and there is smoke. Psycho Blue chuckles, "Heh heh. Looks like a riot."

Psycho Pink states, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go see what's going on."

The five flash step across the water and onto the bridge, as lights based on their colors. On the bridge, they see the people of Wave forming a line around the entrance of the bridge with a dozen ANBU shinobi close enough to be pelted with the village's simple weapons of rocks and trash. One or two of the rioters do sport a crossbow, but only shoot at the ANBU's feet, trying to scare them. It doesn't work. Something was recognized from the ANBU: They were wearing black midriff jackets with red straps, their masks were extremely plain compared to other ANBU masks, and there was a band around their arms with a single kanji...Root. One of the rioters charged at a Root operative with a Kama in hand, but is quickly struck down by the Root's tipless tanto. The Psycho Rangers had no idea what was going on, but they knew enough that Root is a faction of sociopaths and the Land of Waves has gone through enough that they have to be stopped. The five flash stepped behind five of the Root operatives, and quickly subdue them, easily being ignored by the other seven as they deal with the riot. They quickly had their necks snapped, and then Psycho Red screams, "HEY MORONS!"

The remaining Root operatives look to the Psycho Rangers with a bored stance. Emotionless pricks can't be scared. That keeps this from getting interesting. Red boasts, "You wanna attack these people, you'll have to go through us first!"

One of them speaks up in a dead tone, "Who are you?"

Psycho Black snickers, "We're the Psycho Rangers."

Each Psycho Ranger takes a stance and charge forward to battle the enemy. Psycho Red takes on two at once, same as Black, meanwhile Blue, Yellow, and Pink deal with the remaining enemy. As Psycho Red's two opponents try to stab at him, he blocks with his arms. The Root Officer he's fighting admits, "Fighting without a weapon. What a strange stance."

Red snorts, "I am a weapon!"

He tosses them away, and produces his black sword. At seeing this, the others produce their weapons. Black his twisted staff, Blue his axe, Yellow her slingshot, and Pink her bow and arrows. Pink immediately turns invisible as her opponent charges at her, and fires a barrage of arrows into his back until he falls over the ledge of the bridge and into the river. Pink thinks aloud, "Isn't that where Gato lost his head?"

Yellow grabs the blade of her opponent and tosses it away, before firing three shots from her slingshot until he falls with a thud. Blue begins to spin like a tornado and makes several gashes into his opponent until he falls dead. Red parries his opponents slashes and proceeds to cut his two opponents like brisket. Black asks, "Was it too much to ask for something better than a simple staff!? All I can do is beat them!"

Pink screams, "Black!"

She produces Zabuza's blade and throws it right at the two, Black dodging at the last second. His opponents became very bloody messes. One of them, a man the five recognize from Naruto's memories as Tazuna, approaches. He bows, "Thank you...Um, Psycho Rangers, I think that's what you called yourselves. If you hadn't of arrived, it would've been a massacre."

Red shrugs, "No problem. We had a chip in our shoulders with Root and you people seemed decent, so we thought we'd help. But I guess a proper introduction is in order."

He turns to the others, who nod their heads, and they remove the straps on their helmets and take them off. Tazuna's eyes widen, "Amazing! You five look like the brat we named this bridge after. May he rest in peace."

The five look at each other, and yes, they do look like Naruto without the helmets. The key differences were the various heights, the lack of whisker marks, but also their hair. Black's hair is black, Red's hair is red, and so on and so on. Pink and Yellow's hair is a bit longer, but more of a wild style, like Tsume Inuzuka. They try to keep their surprise as subdued as possible. Tazuna recovers, "Anyway, I'd like to thank y'all, but I know absolutely nothing about you."

Black nods, "It is alright."

He realizes that his voice sounds like Naruto's without the helmet. It's much coarser compared to the original, but it's there. He continues, "My name is...Menma, the redhead is...Chasu, the blonde is...Naruko, pinkie is...Moyashi, and blue head is...Tomago. We come from a small island called Eltar that is very far away."

Tazuna nods, "Well, on behalf of the Land of Waves, we thank you."

After that, the entire village rushes the five, handshakes, hugs, the whole nine yards. The Root ninjas remains were thrown over the bridge to sleep with the fishes, while the man that was killed tended to by his family for a proper funeral. Later that night, an entire festival was made throughout the village. Late into the evening, Tazuna's daughter, Inari, asks, "Something I've wondered about you five, are you shinobi? I saw your techniques on the bridge, but you weren't using hand signs."

Moyashi speaks, "We were shinobi and kunoichi from Eltar. But after a while, we decided to stick to travelling instead. We're more like sages in training. Our techniques, the invisibility, the tornado spin, those are bloodline traits, kekkei genkai. We've had them our whole life."

Tomago questions, "If you don't mind me asking, but why were Konoha ANBU attacking you. We haven't been in these lands in a while and last we heard you were allies."

Tazuna's grandson, Inari, spoke up, "That was before Danzo. Some no name politician who nobody except for a few have heard of suddenly took over the Hidden Leaf Village in a single night, sending the Hokage on the run, and then became Hokage himself. Then he executed the hero of this land, the one this bridge is named after. So to spite the man, they want us to rename the bridge, which we won't. So now they've been bullying us ever since. They've also been looking for his old sensei."

Chasu takes a spit take, "Kakashi Hatake!"

Tazuna nods, "No. His original sensei, Iruka Umino."

The Psycho Rangers remember seeing Iruka, just once for a few seconds while Naruto was a prisoner. He just stood there, and broke down in tears. The Root guards restrained him when they thought he was going to break him out. Tazuna resumes, "After Naruto's death, Iruka...Fled the village, being labeled a missing-nin. Other than Itachi Uchiha, he's the top priority in their manhunt. One of his last known locations was here...When he delivered the terrible news. We don't know where he is, nor does anyone else. But they still keep sending those monsters to bully us."

Naruko exhales, "Woah, I don't know which is worse, getting killed by your best friend, or being forced to watch a friend get killed by his best friend. What else is there?"

Tsunami answers, "Aside from Konoha, nothing else. Konoha, however, is a full blown dictatorship, with Danzo Shimura as the current face of fascist evil. He even overthrew the daimyo of the land of fire, instated himself as the Phoenix Hokage. After that, what I know about the inside of the Land of Fire is just gossip, since nobody can really enter it without permission, but what I do know is that they've been invading lands of other nations, taking land bit by bit. They've already taken the lands of lesser nations with no resistance, and it's only a matter of time until they're absorbed into the Fire Nation and the rest will start to be taken."

Tazuna looks at the moon, and says, "It's getting late. Tsunami, it's time to get Inari to bed. Would you five like to stay the night in our home? It's not much, but it can fit all of you."

Menma nods, "Thank you, but it'll be just for the night. We have to get to Suna as quickly as possible."

That night, the five are given the choice of one room, or the three free rooms. They opt for the one room. Sleeping arrangements are made awkwardly in the room, with their suits replaced with pajamas the villagers had given them. Tomago speaks his mind, "We're screwed, aren't we?"

Naruko speaks up, "It's obvious that Danzo has an entire army of sociopaths behind him, but to be able to invade other lands without retribution. It all stinks."

Chasu snorts, "Yeah, even if we had the stupid fox, we would never get far."

'You need to put a little more faith in me, Naruto.'

Everyone sits up with a jolt. Menma asks, "Did anyone else hear that?"

Tomago blurts out, "It was him, wasn't it?"

Menma shrugs, "Zordon did ask us to say hello to him."

'Yeah, he did. Nice guy, was a bit odd looking, but nice guy.'

Chasu states, "Shouldn't we be in the gutters if we're going to have this conversation? I mean...It is natural."

Everyone nods, and starts to meditate. They immediately find themselves in a familiar sewer. Naruko questions, "Is it weird that this place still looks crap and yet like I've missed it for years?"

Everyone nods in agreement. They all start walking, not really knowing where they're going, until they find a cage with the nine tailed fox inside...And Naruto Uzumaki sitting outside. He waves, "Hi, guys."

Chasu screams, "How are you here!? You're dead! You became us!"

Naruto shrugs, "I dunno. You're each a part of me, so until otherwise, I'm apart of you guys like Fuzzball here."

The fox huffs at the comment, but Moyashi sweats, "I can't believe this."

"Believe it, sister. Because Zordon thought you five would need all the help you could get. So from now on, you have his chakra, and my techniques."

The next morning, the Psycho Rangers leave as promised, but not in their original suits. Those have been put in sealed scrolls for when they're needed. In the meantime, they are now wearing black pants and black jackets with undershirts of their personal colors. Turns out before they were thrown away, the Root ninja had enough money to pay for these new threads that were robbed from their corpses. Chasu tells the others, "Let's go meet Gaara."

Author's Note: So I was reading some fanfiction of Naruto being betrayed by Konoha and coming back as a villain seeking redemption from various anime, from the Espada to the Homunculus. Now here, I'm trying something different.

I was thinking of my most favorite Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villains, and so I went with the Psycho Rangers. It was this, Zen-Aku, or Villamax. Those were the main three.
