With the heroes…

Diana thought it over and looked at the assembled heroes with both the First and Second Hokage seemingly silent as the former decided to let her make her decision. She looked at the two legendary shinobi and decided to work with the both of them. After all, there were some questions pertaining to the two siblings and she was not willing to work with Flash due to her unease at his actions, nor was she sure that working with Green Lantern was a good idea as both of them were not on the best of terms.

She then replied as she knew that the longer they delayed, the quicker the Imperium were going to get to accomplishing their goal.

"I will work with Hashirama and Tobirama."

Flash gave a sigh of disappointment while Tobirama, raised an eyebrow. Sure he didn't mind working with this woman who was clearly very skilled in combat, but he was not expecting it to happen that early. But who was he complain anyway? They had a lot to deal with and not enough time to do it in. his senses were still on high alert and he could already feel the effects of the factories. And longer they were left to rot, then things were going to get a lot harder from here on out.

He placed those thoughts aside for now as he replied.

"I'm am fine with that."

"Me as well," Hashirama agreed.

Batman decided to work with them, he knew that the two brothers and Diana had a point, even if J'onn had given them information about the invaders, the loss of the nerve gas and any way to replicate it was a serious blow. The factories might hold the key as he too felt that the Tobirama's comments about the aliens using factories held water.

"I'll go with both Diana and the brothers, if there is any way to find information on how to beat the aliens without J'onn's nerve gas and the plant samples, I'll need access to a factory and find what I can."

J'onn nodded and replied.

"I shall assist this team as well, I have learned enough of the technology of the Imperium so I can locate it."

It seemed that all was settled until John spoke to them.

"Hold it, you guys happen to make up the largest team around, are you sure that going in that large a group's a good idea?"

Hashirama had a very accurate idea on why John would say that, but in his mind, this was about right. This was the usual team composition back home in Konoha. One Jonin sensei, three or four Genin or at times Chuunin and he was comfortable with the idea. Besides this team looked a lot more promising and he was not in the mood to be trading word barbs with Green Lantern, not with the survival of the world on the line.

"We're ready for it, J'onn's got the first hand knowledge, Batman's got the brains and skills, Diana here is more than ready, and for the rest of us, we're all right with this. Besides, you, me, Tobirama, and Diana are not on very good terms anyway so working with you is not going to be a good idea."

Green Lantern thought about arguing a bit more but decided not to bother with that for now. He decided to grab Flash despite the red wearing super hero's obvious protests. And Superman as well as Hawkgirl headed off to do their part. Their target was the factory being set up in Metropolis while Flash and Green Lantern directed their attention to the one in Asia, namely in Indonesia.

As soon as the two other teams fanned out, Hashirama decided to focus his Senjutsu senses and spoke to the others.

"There's another factory in the land called Egypt, though that one's not well set up yet from what I can sense, that might be a good place to start."

Batman raised an eyebrow at that and made his confusion clear.

"How do you know that?"

Hashirama chuckled a bit and replied.

"I apologize, but I am not going to say, but I can assure you that I am right on saying that they also are setting up somewhere in the desert area of that nation I just spoke of. Why they aren't moving as fast in Egypt might have something to do with the fact that it's morning over there in that country."

Batman looked at his watch briefly and knew that the ninja was correct since it would already be morning there in Egypt and if the creatures are indeed nocturnal, they would have more slower there than here in the area of Metropolis. This meant that they had to hurry and exploit this before they found a way to block the sun.

Egypt…

A Few Hours Later...

The teams, and their mission objectives were decided. Green Lantern and Flash would deal with the factory in Malaysia, Superman and Hawkgirl would attack the one in Metropolis, and the biggest group of the heroes, J'onn, Batman, Diana, Hashirama, and Tobirama headed to Egypt to deal with the invaders Factory there.

The two Senju rode with Batman in his Batwing, while Diana and J'onn flew beside them, after a few hours they finally arrived at their target landing just a few miles away from the factory so as to not get spotted by the walkers that patrolled the area. Once they got near enough, taking cover in some ruins in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza J'onn decided to go scout ahead using his abilities as he phased through the ground leaving Batman, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Diana. Time passed by as the four waited patiently for J'onn to return "Hiding like cowards is not the Amazon way!" Diana states seemingly annoyed by this however.

"It may not be, but it's the best way of not getting ourselves killed early on before we have the chance to do anything." The Second Hokage said.

Batman peeks out around a pillar looking at the strange-looking factory of the invaders "They must have a weakness. When we find it we'll strike." Batman stated firmly.

Just then J'onn returned phasing back up through the ground in front of the three "I have scouted the outer walls. There are no openings." J'onn confirmed.

"Given how many of their weaponry almost appears organic in nature, it could be that they're able to create an opening when they feel ready to." Hashirama deduces.

"Then we'll make our own!" Diana says before suddenly taking off.

J'onn and the two shinobi are about to go after her to help out when Batman stops them "Wait! Let's see what she can do." he says.

Diana flies at one of the walkers, the walker takes notice of her and fires its weapon but Diana dives down at the last second causing the shot to miss. She grabs the lasso from her waist and begins twirling it around above her head, once beneath the walker she tosses it at one of its legs wrapping the lasso around it. From here she begins wrapping the lasso around all three of the walker's legs, this surprises J'onn visibly while Hashirama, Tobirama, and Batman continue to look on. Once she has finished wrapping her lasso around the legs she stops on top of its left leg "Hera, give me strength!" she prays.

With a grunt and pull of her lasso Diana brought the legs of the walker together tightly, causing the walker to lose its balance and go crashing into the side of the factory, taking it out and at the same time giving the group the opening they needed. Once the dust settles the three men can see Diana standing triumphantly on top the walker's leg "There's your opening." she says pointing at the massive hole in the factory now before flying in.

Tobirama nods in approval "Impressive." Batman agrees.

J'onn takes off while Batman pulls out his batline and fires, both Hokage jumped into the air. The four follow Diana inside where she has already engaged a few alien soldiers, using her bracers she blocks the incoming shots as at seeing the heroes arriving the few alien soldiers decide to retreat to safety. Tobirama watches this, and notices one of the alien soldiers come to a complete stop and sidestep to its right before continuing to run away, as if it was avoiding something.

"They run like cowards. What are you waiting for?!" Diana questions the three before running off, J'onn immediately follows. Tobirama starts walking after them but then stops, turning his head he notices Batman looking up at the sun before turning and noticing him.

"So, you noticed it too huh?" The younger Senju says.

The group then began to make their way through the maze-like structure, everywhere they go though the enemy soldiers waited for them. Using their high numbers to keep the heroes at bay and force them to take another route in an attempt to get where they need to go.

Diana used her bracers to block the incoming shots from more alien soldiers. Eventually however the high number of enemy troops started to prove too much forcing Diana back into cover with Batman, J'onn, and the two Hokage, "They've blocked us off again." Diana said.

"It's almost as if they know what we're thinking." Batman says.

Tobirama popped out but is unable to use his long range attacks before he is forced back into cover by the high volume of concentrated fire. Batman decides to step up as he takes out one of his explosive batarangs and tosses it, the batarang flying towards the fork in the path where it explodes between the aliens forcing them away.

"Any ideas J'onn?" Batman asks looking back at him, only for the three to notice his eyes glowing as he appeared to be in a trance or something.

"J'onn?" Batman says again.

His eyes stop glowing "Superman and Hawkgirl are down. They have failed." J'onn says.

"What?! Are you sure?" Diana asks with a concerned look on her face.

J'onn nods his head "I am sure. This way, hurry!" he says pointing off towards their left. As they begin heading out the pathway behind them seals shut. Turning right down another crossroad, behind them another doorway opens up with alien soldiers on the other side as they open fire on the heroes. The shots missing them the heroes continue running until J'onn stops and flies upwards into a nearby hole, Diana follows.

"Go, I'll cover you." Tobirama told Batman as he returns fire at the invaders. Allowing Batman to take out his batline and fire pulling himself up to the others. Decade fires off a few more shots taking out at least one of the alien soldiers before jumping up after the others. Quickly J'onn takes off and the others follow.

After more running/flying, they eventually come to a stop as Diana looks around a pillar behind them "We lost them." she says.

"For the moment." Batman says as he takes out and equips onto his right fist a silver knuckle duster-like weapon, once equipped electricity surged from it indicating it was enhanced with electricity to add further to the punching power.

"Look." J'onn says calling the group over "It's the central core." he says pointing at a pillar at the center of the massive room they were in. An organic-looking control panel in front of the pillar as there seemed to be a stone or something of some kind inside a red energy field. Around the room were more alien soldiers working on various consoles in small rooms.

"How do we shut it down?" Batman asks.

"The ion matrix crystal. If we can remove that, it'll shut down the whole plant. I'll need a diversion." J'onn says.

"Allow me to start that off then." Tobirama said as he took out one shuriken, "What are you going to do with those?" Diana asks.

"This." Tobirama says looking at her. Preforming some hand signs, "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Batman and the Second Hokage made their moves with the Dark Knight using a batarang to cut a nearby pipe that unleashed a wave of black fluid on the aliens underneath it, Tobirama then tossed out his single shuriken and duplicated it with his chakra, creating a large barrage of shuriken in rapid succession and which sliced several of the aliens into ribbons while Diana ripped out another cable as Hashirama breathed a large ball of fire in the shape of a dragon, the former causing gas to hit the aliens and the flames of Hashirama's jutsu also created a firestorm of destruction that caught the other aliens off guard.

This was enough for J'onn to move in by phasing to the location, while Batman, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Diana were under attack, the Amazon blocked the attacks while Batman came in his usual way and used his taser weapon for the kill. The First Hokage fought the aliens with his long swords and some of his chakra enhancement techniques, namely the same blades that he used against Madara during their legendary battle, going down and supported the Dark Knight from behind. Hashirama then used his swords to cut down several aliens who tried to sneak up on Diana and she smiled briefly at him for watching her back.

J'onn reappeared near the crystal chamber now that the distraction was in full effect, he took out the alien nearby and quickly retrieved the crystal. The effects were quick as the factory began to shake and malfunction, but not before he was shot by one of the aliens. The last Martian was sent down to the ground and lost his grip on the crystal.

"J'ONN!"

Diana flew to his location after defeating her foes and when she got there, Batman shouted to her.

"GET HIM OUT! NOW!"

Tobirama and Bruce quickly moved to get to the two as Diana lifted J'onn and flew to a nearby tunnel area. Batman quickly used his grappling gun and moved over to get the crystal while Tobirama covered his back by firing some of his shuriken and kunai with some paper bombs on them. However one the aliens quickly accessed the door controls and before the two men could make it, they were sealed in.

Batman used his taser to try to break through while Tobirama began to use his Rasengan, but it was not going well, the two turned and saw the aliens coming at them.

"This is not good."

Tobirama however was not giving up just yet as he quickly formulated a plan that would get them out of here quickly.

Diana was stunned at the fact that both Batman and the Second Hokage were not behind them and she rushed back, shouting their names.

"BATMAN! TOBIRAMA!"

She however stopped as the sounds of laser fire came out and soon silence.

"NO!"

Horror filled her at the fates of the two men and she tried to help them but was stopped by J'onn as he recovered from the injury he got.

"No, there is nothing we can do for them."

"By Athena… you don't mean that they are?"

"Gone…"

J'onn's sad look was heart breaking to Diana as she looked at the door and spoke.

"Hera…help us."

Hashirama however simply narrowed his eyes, he already knew what his brother was planning and had no doubts that he and Batman would get out of this unscathed.

Batman closes his eyes, waiting for the inevitable shots to hit and kill him. It appeared his luck had finally run out, and yet, it didn't happen. He heard the shots, but didn't feel anything. Batman decides to open his eyes to see what's going on, and when he does, he is completely shocked by what he sees in front of him.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Missile!"

In front of him was a large dragon made of water similar to the one he saw earlier that speed through the collapsed dome and struck down all of the aliens in just a single second.

Tobirama soon reappeared right in front of Batman . "What was-"

"Part of my abilities have to do with the element of water, it's my specialty." Tobirama explained.

"I see. So you and brother can control the elements?" Batman questions.

"In a way. Pretty much. We did create these techniques ourselves after all." Tobirama replied. The Senju walked over to the ion crystal and picks it up, "Alright, let's get out of here and try to contact the others."

Once back outside the two make their way towards the Batwing, just as they are about to reach it "Batman, Tobirama, do you hear me?"

"J'onn?" Batman says.

"He's contacting us telepathically. J'onn where are you at so we can regroup?" The younger Senju asked.

"No, I have another job for you. Something that must be done if we are to assure our victory against the invaders." J'onn says.

Batman and Tobirama look at each other "Very well, what is it?" Tobirama asked.

"I know you two noticed it when we assaulted the facility. The invaders, they are nocturnal for a reason."

"The rays of the sun. That one alien avoided it completely out of terror. They don't have any protection against the UV radiation of the sun, that's why they're creating these clouds, as a form of protection so they can go about the planet without fear of the sun shining down on them." Batman deduces.

"Exactly. We're going to regroup at the facility in Metropolis with Flash and Green Lantern in an attempt to rescue Superman and Hawkgirl. Should something go wrong, you two will be our last hope. If you can reverse the polarity of the crystal, you can clear up the skies allowing the rays of the sun to shine down onto their facility. The invaders will have no cover to continue their invasion and will be stranded. Victory will be ours, but only if you can succeed in doing this. The world is counting on you both, good luck." J'onn says before ending his telepathic communication.

"Do you have any way of doing what he said?" Tobirama asks.

"Yes, I should have the equipment necessary to do such a thing back at the batcave." Batman says.

"Alright, then lets head over." Tobirama says before putting his hand on the Dark Knight's shoulder as he, Batman, and his batwing suddenly vanished into thin air.

Gotham City: The Batcave…

In a flash, Tobirama, Batman, and his batwing appeared. Batman blinks a few times and looks around in complete shock. He then turns towards Tobirama, "One, don't ever do that again. Two, how did you-"

"I been a shinobi for a long time, I have my ways of gathering information and keeping secrets, something that you're quite familiar with," Is all Tobirama says having secretly used the Mind Reading Technique on Batman earlier today to figure out the Batcave's location. Earning narrowed eyes from Batman who obviously didn't like that as an answer.

"You know, we do have a world to save. Perhaps you should get to work?" The Second Hokage suggested. Without saying a word Batman makes his way over to his workshop to begin his work on creating a device that will reverse the polarity of the crystal in the factory in Metropolis.

Tobirama turns around "I hope the others will be okay." He says in his head.

Time passes as Tobirama stands around in the batcave doing nothing, not disturbing Batman so he can fully concentrate on the device he was creating. While standing around he did wonder every once in a while how not only were J'onn and the others doing.

"Help…us...trap…"

Tobirama and Batman suddenly hear "J'onn? J'onn?" Tobirama says but nothing more comes from their new friend.

"Sounds like they're in trouble." Batman says.

"Is your device ready?" Tobirama questioned.

Batman stands up and picks up a small square box "What do you think?" he asked.

Outside…

Tobirama was quick to leap off the wing of Batman's fighter as the two of them arrived back in Metropolis but this time they moved the fighter a fair distance from the city and soon began to move inside while avoiding patrols. The Senju had pretty much stayed out of the caves seeing that Bruce needed to work and him around was not good. Once they were done, or at least Bruce was done they high tailed back to Metropolis. Tobirama quickly turned to Batman as he carried the crystal in his hands as the two of them moved closer to the target factory. But not before Naruto quickly released two Shadow Clones on the fly and sent them to the back to gather some extra Nature chakra.

"You sure that device with those modifications is going to work?"

"Yes, but we have no time to waste here, this device should be the key to removing the cloud cover that they use for their invasion to finally be a success. But I need to connect it to the crystal to have any effect, namely in the same place we found it from before."

"Then let's go to it, we got to find the others."

"Can you sense them?"

Tobirama focused his Senjutsu senses once more and soon managed to locate the others, but the interference of so many of the aliens did not help matters. He focused a bit more and soon got a better reading as he spoke to Batman.

"I can feel them, but the number of aliens there in that factory is really making it a bit challenging. I am also sensing something truly awful down there. I can wager a bet whatever it is that I am feeling is not going to be the least bit friendly."

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever it is, I can say this much, it's pure evil."

The two made their way to the factory with Tobirama focusing on his Senjutsu senses to locate the others, they kept out of sight as best they could, hoping that the shield was going to be enough until they could get within striking range. The two of them soon spotted the others but could not do anything for them at this time just as the alien impersonating Carter appeared.

"Earth's mightiest heroes…welcome."

"So you're finally here, the one who took Carter's place back on Mars when you and your forces woke up."

The alien impersonator was slightly surprised as Superman glared at him and replied.

"Oh, you know who I am now? I am curious who told you that…no matter, you're all too late, this world will fall and soon all of you will feed the Imperium."

The Second Hokage and the Dark Knight spotted the alien vessel above and spotted what appeared to be some sort of shuttle move away and enter the base itself. There the two spotted the Imperium, it looked like a massive violet jelly fish with black matter inside of it. The Senju was able to withstand the waves of evil coming from that monstrous thing.

They had a chance to kill this alien right here and now, so they were going to do what they could.

The two heroes turned to see J'onn being tortured by the Imperium but they were close already and Batman readied the explosives he had. And Tobirama was quick to take out a Fuuma Shuriken which had a good number of explosive tags stored in the blades. As soon as the weapon was fully extended, both of them looked at one another and silently nodded as they got ready for action as J'onn finally shouted.

"GET READY!"

"Strong Sword: Helmet Breaking!"

The second J'onn shouted, Hashirama who had previously escaped, came leaping down from the ceiling with two chakra enchanced swords in hands and delivered a straight slash into the shield while Tobirama and Batman fired their weapons at the shield of the chamber. The combined attacks were enough to finally weaken the shield and soon, the Martian lowered the shield on the three of them and they were revealed to the aliens and the other heroes.

"Whoa! They're alive!"

Flash was relieved while Diana was amazed that they were alive.

"How did they make it back from certain death?"

J'onn was the one to respond to that despite the fact that the Imperium was still trying to tear him to pieces figuratively and literally.

"I shielded them…so they would not be found!"

Batman quickly moved with Hashirama and Tobirama going alongside him to cover him, The First Hokage used a powerful chakra enhanced kick to send the last alien nearby flying aside as the Dark Knight placed the device through the now weakened section of the shield and placed the device on the crystal, activating it. Soon the crystal's red color changed to blue and the fluid inside of the chamber turned blue as well

The Carter doppelganger was shocked and shouted at what was going on and made that clear to the Hokage and Batman.

"What have you done?"

Batman replied in his usual fashion of being stoic and clam before the odds that were there.

"Reversed the ion charge, now this cloud is going to fade away.."

The leader of the aliens quickly shouted two simple orders to it's minions.

"DESTROY THE CRYSTAL! KILL THEM!"

The two Hokage looked at Bruce and spoke as they knew that they might want to switch to close combat work to buy Bruce time to get the others free..

"You free the others, we'll keep them off your back!" Hashirama shouted out.

Batman did not argue as the three of them separated from one another as he quickly used his grappling gun and moved to the others as the newly altered fluid continued to spread through the factory systems.

Both shinobi quickly moved and slid down as lasers were fired at them, Hashirama evaded the ones that he saw coming, coupled with him focusing his chakra into his legs for extra speed and grip. As soon as he was half way, he grabbed the two swords on his back as he leaped down in a graceful spinning flip. The people and aliens in the room heard two loud hisses as Hashirama unleashed his blades, but they were glowing deep blue as he unleashed what appeared to large blades of pure air at the aliens below him.

Several were quickly cut down by the wind blades as the First Hokage landed nimbly on his feet and quickly stood up and faced the alien forces carefully. They readied their weapons and aimed at him with the intent to kill. Hashirama decided that now was not the time for words. Now was the time for action as he quickly took out some kunai and shuriken and made his move.

The First Hokage wasted no time and quickly threw the kunai towards his foes, and his target happened to he one of the aliens who was at the back. The kunai flew straight and true to the target, and that was when Tobirama who was standing nearby used the Hirashin technique. The aliens and the heroes only saw a brief flash of Hashirama's black hair and his glowing swords before he vanished and the only saw brief flashes of blue in the area where the aliens were. Hashirama suddenly appeared above the alien he had targeted with his brother's kunai, grabbed the weapon with his free hand and quickly drove a powerful heel kick into the head of the alien.

Meanwhile, Tobirama quickly moved to attack with his sword Raijin which was soon coated in his chakra to stab into another attacker and spun hard to avoid a nearby alien's laser bolt, the weapon missed him and blasted the one he had stabbed with Raijin. He quickly rushed the alien and slammed a knee on the weapon to force it upwards and he followed up with a powerful spinning back heel kick with chakra in the strike. The attack sent the alien flying as he was sent into several of his cohorts. Tobirama turned and rolled away as another alien came at him with blades extended to avoid a slash aimed to his neck, he quickly got up and slashed with his sword on the side while taking out his other sword to block another attacker, he quickly moved forward and lifted the alien off it's feet and as soon as it hit the floor, Tobirama followed up with a stab in the face.

Then Hashirama readied his swords as he was soon shot at by the aliens, but he was not done as his speed was above average now with chakra being fed into the legs for increased speed. He moved as fast as he could and moved to the shooters and flipped over them quickly and landed behind them to cut them down with sweeping arcs with his chakra enhanced blades. He then moved to stab the last one with both and then yanked both blades while flipping backward to avoid being attacked from behind by another alien with morphed hands for attacking. The alien turned to attack the elder Senju as he landed, but Hashirama quickly leaned backwards and then moved to the side while kneeing the alien at the side of it's own body fast and hard to send it away while quickly moving back up to then block another attacker and then pushing him back with great force and launching a palm strike to send the alien back.

The two Shinobi were able to hold their own for a bit more and soon more of the aliens were down and out as they quickly lashed out with a surprising blast of pure wind on them. The wind struck like a whip of pure force and sent more of the aliens flying backwards. Both Senju turned and saw Batman working quickly on freeing them and they were grateful for that, some backup right now was certainly more than welcome since time was of the essence.

But they placed their thoughts aside as they needed to focus on the here and now as more of the aliens continued to attack them. Hashirama then moved to place one of his swords on his back in the sheath and attacked with his fist empowered by chakra that smashed hard into a large bunch of the aliens who were about to shoot at him with their weapons. He managed to avoid the hits and land the attack to send them splattering all over the place and that was that for them as he got ready for the next batch that was on their way to kill him.

Batman looked at the battle as he worked on freeing the others, the two Shinobi's actions proved to be the key as the aliens did not attack the Dark Knight of Gotham as they were being kept out of the fight by Hashirama, Tobirama, and the shield that was on the converted ion crystal stopped the aliens from destroying the crystal. While he was freeing Diana first, he turned to see just what the two Hokage's situation was and he could see that they were both continuing to hold their own and fight in ways that defied the conventional train of thought that one would have when seeing two individual who were supposed to be human.

'Those two certainly know how to fight in such a situation, I wonder how it would have been had I been training alongside them back in my younger years.'

The rest of the heroes were also deep in their perceptions of the battle as both brothers continued to take down more and more of the aliens while J'onn continued to drag the Imperium into the light as it's skin boiled and bubbled, making the leader of the invasion force shout out more and more screams of pain as sunlight ravished it's form.

'How the heck is he moving that fast?!'

Flash thought as even he was having a hard time following the two ninja's attacks as the First and Second Hokage of Konoha cut down more and more of the aliens as if they were moving too slowly. Sure he was fast, but they was not as fast in close combat situations where space was at a premium as it were. Whatever technique they were using was too damn cool in his book.

'They are perfectly in sync with each other, it's almost like they've been doing this for ages.'

Hawkgirl was not lying as she knew how to fight with hand to hand as well as with weapons, and she could see that these two men were very well trained in the use of throwing and melee ranged weapons as well, and it was like they had been trained in how to use them for a very long time. That was something she had to respect as she had faced few foes in her time back in the Southern States who could come anywhere close to what she was seeing before her this moment.

'These two are beyond my understanding, I've seen a lot but this is certainly something else.'

Lantern thought as he had never seen anything like this before in his career both as a Marine and as a Green Lantern. The way these guys moved and fought was too powerful and precise to be human, yet too fluid and natural to be a machine. They could be cyborgs but most cyborgs like Metallo were not even close to being as fast or powerful as those. And there was no way that any cyborg he knew of could possess abilities like that.

'These Shinobi seem to really fight like seasoned professionals, just who are they and how did they learn to fight this well?'

Superman watched the way both Hokage moved, and he could hear their heartbeats and breathing, they were breathing like anyone would in a fight yet they seemed to be relaxed as well, there was no panic or any of the usual signs. These two men were fighting like he had been doing this all his life, like it was as simple as breathing and eating to him. What sort of battles did these men if they were even human to begin with fight in to be this skilled? The brothers definitely were no pushovers, but there was a precision in their way of fighting that made them seem both a brawler and seasoned fighter at the same time which to the Man of Steel was certainly new.

'By all the Goddesses and Gods who reside on Olympus! Both of these men fight like they were born to fight…they and their fellow ninja must be truly skilled fighters to have reached that level. And that power they both shows, I have sensed it, where are they drawing such power?'

Diana was impressed by the way the two ninja fought, smooth, efficient, effective, and deadly, it was like a dance of battle before her. She had been trained by all the best warriors in the arts of war on Themyscira, yet those two fought like fighting was bred into their body and blood. She was very much amazed by their skills and that was something as she was an Amazon and had been taught by the best. Secretly, Diana hoped that Hashirama and Tobirama would teach her some of their moves someday.

The reversed ion charge was now in effect as the factory unleashed beams of light out into the sky as the clouds that held the world under a cloak of darkness began to move away and reveal the sunlight once more. The end results were there as the aliens quickly sought cover and those currently fighting the Senju brothers pulled back, allowing them to use both their shuriken and kunai in conjunction with their signature blades, J'onn also managed to free himself from the Imperium's grasp and drag the creature into the daylight.

The alien screamed in agony as the Martian taunted him while holding it's tentacles which had originally been in his own body.

"You hide underground and shun the light! Why? Does it burn your pale putrid skin?"

The Imperium screamed in pain as boils and steam came out from the alien leader as more sunlight fell on it, much to Flash' disgust as he spoke.

"Now that is a major case of super strong sunburn!"

It was not long before the heroes were able get into the fight, Superman managed to get a charge from the sun of earth and used his heat vision to free himself and he quickly tore off a large section of the floor and raised it as a shield to allow Bruce to do his work and he held it up. Just as Batman finally Diana, Superman freed Hawkgirl with his heat vision as well, she in turn freed Green Lantern, with her mace Diana then freed Flash as the Speedster was now on the move to attack the aliens as well.

The other heroes joined in as Hawkgirl used her mace, Flash his speed, Diana her strength, and superman his own strength and heat vision that tore apart sections of the building to expose the creatures to sunlight.

Tobirama spotted three other aliens moving to attack Stewart and he quickly pulled out a spare yet smaller Fuuma Shuriken from his weapons pack, quickly expanded it and shouted to the Green Lantern.

"GET DOWN NOW!"

Stewart did just that out of reflex and saw the weapon sail over his head and slice into the heads of two of the aliens and allowing him to unleash a powerful burst of his Ring's energy in the shape of a wall shield and quickly used said shield like a battering ram to send them back into the wall face. He turned and nodded to Tobirama as John quickly went back into the fight as he blocked another barrage of attacks and cut down the incoming threats.

Hashirama turned when his danger senses warned him of an incoming attack, only to see the Diana in front of him using her bracelets to block their attacks and send them right back at their shooters, the Amazon Princess turned and spoke with a slight smile.

"Now we are even."

Hashirama quickly fired several of his kunai that had several paper bombs attached to them yet again while Diana, Superman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern took to the skies, ripping out holes on the building and ripping off sections of the walls to expose the rest of the aliens to the sunlight. It was here that the Imperium managed to free itself from the pain of the sunlight by shocking J'onn into releasing him and he escaped, leaving the Carter double to die along with the others.

Diana spotted that and used her lasso to hold the ship down and keep the leader of the invaders from escaping, Superman was able to defend J'onn alongside Tobirama who used his Water Style and his throwing weapons which were chakra enhanced and loaded with paper bombs to do the most damage alongside the Kryptonian's use of heat vision in battle. But the alien ship fired a beam at Diana, forcing the Amazon to block it and allow the aliens to escape.

Hawkgirl however came on the scene and used her mace to stop the ship, allowing the fully recovered Amazon to catch the rope once more to prevent the Imperium from escaping just as a doorway was revealed from the alien mother-ship. Diana yanked hard on the lasso and dragged the being back just as the First and Second Hokage came up to the plate with Tobirama putting his hand on his elder brother's shoulder as they looked up at the ship just as Hawkgirl began to attack once more.

Tobirama's Hiraishin allowed him and Hashirama to move close to the alien ship to make them smash a chakra enhanced fist and water shaped like a drill quickly into the ship's hull which caused considerable damage to the vehicle just as Hawkgirl's next strike was the final deathblow as the two Senju teleported back to the factory. The Imperium screamed in fury as it's vessel was sent smashing into the factory and nearly crushing Batman but Flash saved the Dark Knight at the last moment.

The factory was about to blow and the heroes went to work saving the people trapped inside the same pods the aliens used, with Green lantern carrying them in a bubble while the others flew out of the now destroyed factory. The cloud cover was gone and it seemed that light was filling Metropolis once more. However the alien vessel was now trying to escape no doubt abandoning it's comrades and hoping to avoid facing the fate that claimed it's leader.

Diana was angry at this and spoke out.

"Those cowards are fleeing!"

The idea of letting these aliens escape without a fight was a big insult to her, after knowing what these aliens did to other worlds, including J'onn's own world she was not going to let them escape without being punished for their crimes.

Hashirama however was not going to let the aliens escape without a fight, his brother had the same thoughts as well. He knew what he was going to have to do now

The others turned in surprise when Hashirama suddenly leaped forward to the nearest building and then by clapping both of his hands together, summoned a titanic thousand handed wooden statue that resembled a Buddhist monk.

"By Hera…"

Diana spoke out as she could feel a level of power coming from Hashirama and she could feel the same energy, only this time, there was a lot of it as well and the others looked on as they tried to figure out what he was doing.

Hashirama pumped more chakra into the statue, while the Kanzeon Lotus King was nowhere near as powerful as his True Thousand Hands technique due to not utilizing Senjutsu chakra. It was still more than enough to finish off the remaining invaders.

"How the heck is he doing that?"

The rest of the heroes were stunned as this was something none of them have witnessed before.

Using the giant statue as a medium, each of the five smaller heads encircling the statue's main head simultaneously released a stream of a different elemental nature attack consisting of fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. If that was not an impressive sight, Hashirama had no idea what was an impressive sight.

"All is Suffering!"

The massive attack smashed hard into the ship as it was about to get out of the city and smashed on the middle of the ship, and just above the area where the engines would be. The sheer impact of the combined attack was spectacular as a veritable fire storm of destruction began to consume the ship's area. The sheer amount of chakra Hashirama put into the attack was a feat no one in Konoha would ever see and if they did, it would reinforce their faith in him as the greatest Hokage the village ever had.

The attack tore into the armor of the ship and also caused a large amount of destruction and inside the ship, the aliens were running in pain and shock at the attack. More sections of the ship were being torn apart by the combined chakra elemental natures as it spread fast. Any alien caught were either burnt, electrocuted, shredded,and broken as soon the ship soon exploded into many pieces. The fiery remains of the alien ship thankfully did not crash into the city of Metropolis.

Hashirama however let out a sigh of relief as the giant statue disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"As impressive as always brother," Tobirama praised as the First Hokage turned to his brother and gave him a nod of appreciation.

Superman looked at the now crippled ruins of the alien ship.

"At least now we can deal with them and make sure that they can no longer harm anyone."

Diana nodded at that and spoke to the two Hokage.

"You have amazing power Hashirama and you as well Tobirama, I have never met many people who can control that level of power outside of Themyscira. Are you sure you're not gods in disguise by any chance?"

Hashirama laughed heartily at that as he was known as the God of Shinobi back in his glory days, but now he was far too old for such a term being used on him and replied.

"Nope, our parents were both human my dear Diana, but let's put that on hold for a moment as we still have deal with the rest of the Imperium."

"Indeed brother, let's get this over and done with," Tobirama agreed.

Sometime Later…

Snapper Carr stands amongst the ruins of the factory in Metropolis "This is Snapper Carr. In the aftermath of the Metropolis meltdown, most of the invaders have retreated from Earth. Superman, and a team of other heroes, have driven out the remaining pockets of resistance. Helping to restore order around the world."

As Snapper says this, Diana can be seen bringing down another alien walker with her lasso causing it to explode, Green Lantern flies up to a factory and uses his Power Ring to cause some damage, Hawkgirl slams her mace into the face of another walker, and Tobirama landed on top of a walker and uses his signature sword to cut it down. While Hashirama used his Wood Style: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu to take another walker down.

"Despite this stunning victory some are warning that we must remain vigilant." Snapper reports now from the UN building.

"We got lucky this time. What will we do if the invaders ever return, or something worse comes along?" A US Military General questions as he spoke to the press behind a podium.

From the batcave, Batman watched this broadcast and upon hearing this shut it off. He put his right hand to his chin, as even he began to question what would they do should another invasion happen?

Three Weeks Later…

Above Earth, hidden in shadows at first when the light began to shine on it the structure came into view. It was a massive tower-like station, three small towers connected to it by bridges "Incredible…"

On the station near the top level, Superman stared out the massive viewing window at the Earth below "Do your stockholders know about this Bruce?" Superman asks looking to his left as Batman walked up to him.

"A line item hidden in the Aerospace R&D budget. This Watchtower will act as an early warning system for detecting other threats of invasion from space." Batman explains taking a few steps away from Batman.

"And, it also has a fully stocked kitchen." the Flash speaks up making Superman and Batman look at him, as they see him and Diana exiting the elevator with cups of Iced Mocha in their hands as they approach them.

"Iced Mocha?" Flash asks Superman as he walks up to him.

"No thanks." Superman generously declines.

Diana takes another sip from her straw "Mhm~, they don't have these on Themyscira." she says with an impressed look on her face.

Flash speeds over to her tapping her cup with his "Stick around Princess. I'll show you the ropes." he says.

Diana smiles at him "Perhaps I will." she agrees.

"An impressive installation." looking up the heroes spot John Stewart and Hawkgirl floating down towards them, after the two had gotten their look around the facility themselves "Most impressive." John finishes as the two land.

Then a familiar sound was heard off to their side as both the First and Second Hokage had teleported to the station, "Well, I have to admit. I'm impressed. Back home, we didn't have anything even close to something like this," Hashirama said putting his hands to his hips.

"If I may ask, what's all of this got to do with us?" Tobirama asks.

Everyone's attention turns towards Superman as he turns away, a grim look on his face as he then walks over to the window "I once thought I could protect the world by myself. But I was wrong." he turns back towards the others. "Working together we saved the planet." he takes a few steps back towards them "And I believe that if we stayed together as a team, we could be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice."

"What? Like a bunch of super friends?" Flash humorously questions.

"More like a, Justice League." Superman says.

"Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?" Flash asks walking up to him.

"What? And that other name you suggested doesn't?" Tobirama questioned.

"Hm, true I guess. But you know what, I think the big guy's got a point. With all of us behind it, it just might work. Count me in." Flash says as he and Superman both put their right hands outward between each other.

"Me too." John agrees, he and Hawkgirl both walk over and join them in putting their hands at the center between the group of heroes "And me." Hawkgirl says.

Diana looks down, a worried look in her eyes "My mother may not approve. But I find man's world to be intriguing. I'll gladly join." she finishes before walking over and joining them.

"What about you Batman?" Superman asks as he and the others look at him.

"I'm not really a people person. But when you need help" he turns to the left "And you will," he emphasizes looking back at them "Call me." he finishes.

"Understood." Superman says.

"And what about you, Shinobi?" Diana asks as the heroes now look towards both brothers.

Tobirama's expression remained stoic while Hashirama had his arms crossed and appeared to be thinking it over, after a few moments they made their decision, "We don't exactly have anywhere else to go at the moment and I can't sit idly by as there's a chance the Earth could potentially be threatened by something even worse than the Imperium. So yes, we'll join you." Hashirama says with a serious and determined look on his face.

"You can count on the two of us to help however we can in protecting this world no matter what, that I promise you." Tobirama assures.

"Good to hear, then we're all agreed." Superman says.

"Wait, J'onn's not here." Diana says taking notice of their missing Martian friend.

"Yeah where is he?" Flash asks.

After a few seconds the heroes spot him and Superman flies up to him, J'onn standing on what appeared to be a control center platform hanging high attached to the central pillar of the room. Landing on the platform Superman walks up to him "J'onn. Are you alright?" he asks.

J'onn looks out the window at the deep darkness of space "My family and loved ones are long gone. I am the last of my kind." he says.

"I know the feeling." Superman says putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Now, Mars is dead. And I am alone in the universe." J'onn says.

"J'onn, we can never replace the family you lost. But, we'd be honored if you could learn to call Earth, your home." Superman says, J'onn turns his head to look at him as Superman gives him a reassuring smile.

After a few seconds, J'onn accepts this and smiles back "Come on." Superman says putting both hands on his shoulders.

The two float back down to the others who walk towards them to welcome J'onn to the group, and to Earth. And thus, the Justice League was born. As the other heroes talk amongst each other, Both Hashirama and Tobirama silently listen in.

"When me and my brother were freed from that snake's slavery by Sarutobi, I thought we'd finally earn our eternal rest. However, it seems that fate is not finished with us yet. What I am sure of at this moment now, is that this is the start of a brand new chapter in our journey. My name is Hashirama Senju, Founder of Konoha, The First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, and now member of the Justice League."

AN: Done. I wanted to get back to this story for a while now considering how much feedback and support it has gotten lately. Obviously both Hashirama and Tobirama didn't need to go all out against the Imperium since they are best of the best after all. I bet some of of you are surprised that Tobirama actually read Batman's mind to get more information about this new universe they're now stuck in. Well, Tobirama has always been more pragmatic than his brother so I can see him do something like this. Also, I've read a bunch of fanfics where a Naruto character caves in and just tells the heroes their own life story even though keeping secrets is pretty much the most basic thing a ninja is taught at the academy, so I thought this would be a nice change of pace. But it's definitely set off a potential conflict between Batman and Tobirama later down the road. As for when the Senju brothers will reveal their life stories, that's a long ways off from now. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I hope everyone is staying safe from the Coronavirus. Thank you and I'll see you all next chapter.
