Elsewhere, a flicker of HOPE will shine from deep space, like a lighthouse warning the ships away from the rocks. The BLUE light will hold the line in spirit if not in strength.

This was the way of the Blue Lantern Corps.

The Blue Lanterns represent Hope, it had been started by Ganthlet and Sayd, who were kicked out of the Guardians of the Universe during the Sinestro Corps War. The Blue Lanterns were more noble, more along the lines of what the Green Lantern Corps used to be before they became corrupt. No lethal force. These guys were on the straight and narrow, like the Knights of the Round Table. They constantly pulsated their ring energy and will be on the side of the Green Lantern Corps even if they don't approve of the Green Lantern corps methods now.

But there was one thing the Blue Lanterns were lacking: it had no representatives.

"Ganthlet...there's something strange going on with the first of our power rings!" Sayd called, Ganthlet went to where Sayd was and saw what was going on, it was something that neather of them had ever seen before. The blue ring began to pulse, it aimed itself, fired a beam on its own, and opened a portal to another dimension. The blue ring flew into it and vanished, the portal closing behind it.

What was that about? I know the rings can search for suitable members, but using its power on its own? That's not suppose to even be possible." Sayd said, looking at Ganthlet.

The age-warn former oan smiled as he looked at his companion

"It seems our ring picked up on one who has felt and instilled great hope and had to do that in order to reach them and inform them of our cause."

Naruto sat on the beach of the island in Kumo, not too long ago, Kisame and Gai had there clash. But now they had to evacuate the island since there was no telling when that information scroll would get into Madara's hands. Should have burnt the damn thing rather than open it...

Huh? Naruto looked up as something that loked like a small glowing, blue comet was flying strait at him!

As it got near enough to be seen clearly, it stopped and hovered in mid-air at Naruto's eye-level and he saw it was a glowing blue ring of some kind. What really caugt Naruto's attention was the light...he knew it. The gentle and comforting azure glow, the way the ring seemed to softly hum in a sweet manner...it was as if the essence an old friend of his was woven into the light.

"Naruto Uzumaki of Sector 2814. You have the ability to instill great hope. Should you accept it, welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps." a disembodied, soothing voice said, comming from the ring.

"Gah!" Naruto jumped back in surprise. A glowing, flying, talking ring with a chakra signature of some kind? What the heck was going on?

A blue hologram of a person came from the ring and spoke to Naruto

"So you're the one the blue ring picked up on. That only means you've both felt and caused hope."

There was something about the person that Naruto trusted, like he did with the Third Hokage. He listened to the hologram as it continued.

"I am Ganthlet. Tell me, Naruto Uzumaki, how strongly do you feel hope should be given to all forms of life?"

"Is that a trick question or something? If hope wasn't necessary, why is there such a thing as a bright future? Of corse I feel strongly about it, sometimes hope is all you have to hang on to if you want to even survive." Naruto said, Ganthlet nodded and a smile deepened the wrinkles that covered his face upon hearing Naruto's reply.

"Good. I can't tell you everything now, but I can tell you that this ring draws its power from the emotion of hope, it configures the power of hope into the blue light you see it shine with. You can use it a number of ways depending on your will and imagination. It will give you the power of flight, project a force field, provide communication with other member of the Blue Lantern Corps and even form hard-light constructs with it. There is a charge limit however. We must meet face-to-face for you to learn everything. But I will tell you there are countless other life-forms other than the ones on your planet that need the power of hope due to those who harness the force of willpower having they're hearts stolen by the sight of blood and the smell of burnt flesh due to a war I can't tell you about until we meet in person. Will you come and be one of those who give them that hope to survive for the sake of a bright future?"

"When do I start?" Naruto asked

"As soon as you put on this ring." Ganthlet said

Naruto nodded, "Just let me inform everyone I care for and everyone in the Shinobi Alliance about this first. I've...kinda have a organization after me and I don't want them thinking I was captured."

Blue bolts of light shot from the ring and struck everyone Naruto had ever come into contact with that were on good terms with him, instantly downloading the situation into they're minds.

"It is done." Ganthlet said

"Good to know. Now hand over that ring." Naruto said and slid it onto his right ring finger, at once a Blue Lantern Corps uniform, it was, as often is the case with the Lantern corps uniforms, customized by Naruto's thoughts. His uniform was all black with blue flame-patterns at the wrists that went to the middle of his arms between his wrists and elbows, the same for his new wardrobe at the ankles. There was a picture of the nine-tailed fox with his tails thrashing around on his back, The hidden leaf village's symbol of a spiral arrow took up the bands on his upper-arms and there was the Blue Lantern Corps symbol on the front of his new over his outfit, Naruto came to a realization: Blue suited him better than orange did. His ring pulsed and the portal opened up again and he walked throught it, emerging on Odym.

"Greetings Naruto."

Naruto turned to see Ganthlet and Sayd, both smiling in his direction, levitating near him. Clearly he was expected.

"Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps."

'Ganthlet...Sayd...' a voice telepathically contacted the two from the Blue Lantern Central Power Battery, 'There is no need for you to tell this one of the vitality of hope, he already knows it all. It's one of the reasons he was seeked out by the very first of the rings which weild the blue light. Best tell him of all you know besides the necessity of the blue.'

Giving a mental nod at that to who had spoke to them, the two Guardians of Hope sat Naruto down and told him everything that they knew as former members of the self-appointed Guardians of the Universe. All about Nekron, the emotional spectrum, every secret the Guardians on Oa kept were laid bare as well as explaining everything about why hope was vital to the continution of life. By the time they finished, three days had passed.

When Naruto heard all of that, he nodded. He understood what the two were recruting him for. Nekron couldn't be allowed to win!

"I got the message why I'm here along with the risk and sacrifice. Now tell me what this ring of mine can do so I can start."

Nodding at how he was so egear to use the blue ring to do as much good as he could, Sayd instructed Naruto on the abilities of his ring. It had quite a number of functions, such as shooting blue energy blasts, force-field generation, forming energy constructs, hope empowerment, fear depletion, avarice immunity, rage removal, flight, creating wormholes & spacial warps, limited cellular regeneration, electromagnetic scanning, universal translation, material alteration, and precognition were a few of the basic alilities with his ring. As for the weakness of the ring you Hope is the most powerful emotion in the emotional spectrum, but is nothing without willpower to enact it. In order for the blue power ring to function it needs the aura of green willpower, supplied by a Green Lantern Ring to be in proximity to it, otherwise the ring will only allow limited flight, limited energy projection and protection from the vacuum of space.

"Uh...Ganthlet, a nasty thought: What's to stop Nekron from spreading his death powers into my world?" the blond asked suddenly.

Ganthlet and Sayd smiled reasurince at the first to weild the blue light. In all honesty, they'd expected that question.

"Put your worries to rest, we found out that if he ever did, all his authority would go to the creature you call a Biju, the second one to be precie. It'd boost the demon's power to where it'd be beyond controlling save the person it was within."

Naruto thought about that, Nibi did have the potential to do that as she could control dead soul in some legends about Nekomata. So it wasn't too farfetched. So if Nekron tried muceling in on his world, it'd ruin Madara's plans huh? Evil against evil always did have a nasty habit of doing things like that.

"While we're on the subject of living and dead things, what role do you feel emotions play in things being alive?" Ganthlet asked.

Naruto snorted "Well one thing I'll never buy about emotions is that whole "emotions-are-just-chemicals-fizzing-in-your-brain" thing. Tell me this: do you know how medicine for people who have mental disabilities work? Either increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the brain, increasing how much is absorbed, or by blocking off unwanted chemicals. Emotions can't be blocked off like that. It's a nessity that all living things have emotions. The stronger a person's emotions, the more they value life. Without emotions, there'd be nothing but death everywhere. And any sentient being has emotions from the moment their born to the moment they die, it's the mark of a living thing to have feelings, so how can you cut off emotions and still have something that's alive?"

Nodding at that, the two Guardians of Hope saw his point in one of the reasons why they were banished which they proceeded to tell him: they'd opposed the creation of the Alpha-Lanterns. The Guardians on Oa believed that emotion could cloud judgment, so, to Ganthlet and Sayd's unending disgust, they'd created those abominations, the Alpha-Lanterns. They possessed the willpower and thought process of a Green Lantern yet lacked the capacity to think and feel, and lacked the drive of sentient hosts while also harboring the logistical efficiency of a Manhunter. Service in the Alpha-Lanterns required great sacrifice however. To serve as an Alpha-Lantern, an officer was required to abandon all aspects of their prior life, and commit themselves fully to the Corps. They were also required to undergo cosmetic surgery, which enabled them to interface with their corresponding power batteries with greater efficiency. A psychic link was established connecting an Alpha's mind with the Book of Oa, while their bodies tapped directly into the Central Power Battery. Because of this, an Alpha-Lantern never needed to recharge their ring.

Hearing about the Alpha-Lanterns, Naruto felt his guts churn. Who would accept having that done to them?

Hearing that all these so-called, self-appointed "Guardians of the Universe" ever did was sit and watch, but never act, the blond truely felt that the title "Watchers" suited them better.

"Alright...how fast can you form those blue rings? We'll be needing them." Naruto said "As for me...I think it's long over due the runts on Oa had their ways come to light. I'll be sure to inform and recruit the other lights I meet to help prepare for the Blackest Night, so help me, there'll be a sunrise when it's over, I'll make damn sure of that."

With that, Naruto flew off. Aiming to do as much good as he could...and he was going to start on Oa.

And the rewrite is DONE! I looked over the first chapter and I felt changing it was needed seeing as the original seemed cheap to me. Given that a war is on the horizon and the island in Kumo where Naruto and Bee were sent to keep them out of Madara's clutches had its location comprimised by Kisame, it seemed like the best time to give hope to the Naruto-universe (is that a pun seeing as Naruto is the first of the Blue Lantern Corps?). Now not only will Madara be able to clame the Kyubbi since Naruto is in a another dimension , but Naruto can do some good in the DC-universe.

If you're wondering why Ganthlet and Sayd told all of the Guardian's secrets to Naruto, I find it easy to think that after Hal was taken over by Parallax and Parallax was re-imprisoned, that Ganthlet and Sayd realized just how dangerous keeping such things hidden was and they therefore tell all the Guardians know to any potential Blue Lanter Corps members to see to it they're prepared for everything from the War of Light, the Blackest Night, the Brightest Day and anything further beyond that to the extent of Ganthlet and Sayd's knowlage, which is why the Blue Lantern recrutment process takes days.

Now for a list of the Emotional Embodiments of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Adara-The physical embodiment of hope, A blue bird with the symbol of the Blue Lantern Corps in the middle of its torso.

Ion-The physical embodiment of will, A giant green whale-like creature.

Proselyte-The physical embodiment of compassion, An indigo octopus-like creature with the symbol of the Indigo Tribe visible throughout its body.

Predator-The physical embodiment of love, A violet beast-like creature.

Parallax-The physical embodiment of fear, A yellow lizard/incect-like creature.

Butcher-The physical embodiment of rage and anger, A red bull with its horns shaped in the symbol of the Red Lantern Corps.

Ophidian-The physical embodiment of Greed, A orange snake with the symbol of the Orange Lantern Corps on the top of its head.

Finally, here's a list of the abilities the Blue Lantern Corps Ring has:

Blue Energy Blasts: The ring can be used to fire blasts of blue energy or create weapons such as projectiles of them. The ring can project beams of force powered by the will of the user. The weapons power is more an indication of the hope of the user.

Force-Field: The ring can create various forcefields of various sizes and shapes to protect the wearer and others around him. With the cosmic scope of a Blue Lantern's abilities, it is only natural that the power ring is designed for operation in space. The ring creates a force-field around the wearer, protecting him/her/it from the hazards of the void including filtration of stellar radiation and microscopic particulate matter which would ordinarily be fatal should the space debris strike the ring wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the ring wielder's biology is created inside the force-field, body temperature is maintained and waste products are removed. Gravitational stresses which could cause injury are stabilized for the ring wielder. Theoretically, a ring wielder could use the ring as his/her/its sole source of life support.

Energy Constructs: The ring can form constructs of blue energy. Unlike a Green Lantern Power Ring, the primary function of the Blue Power Ring will manifest its constructs in response to the targets specific psychosis. The power literally soothes its target based on that target's hopes. In this way the ring can remove the corruptible influence of the red flame of rage by infusing hope. Otherwise the ring is a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's mastery of hope. A Blue Lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the mastery of hope necessary to conjure it into existence. The constructs are made out of blue energy, which is a tangible form of pure hope, and they exist only as long as a Blue Lantern is fueling it with their mastery of hope. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the inspired hope of the Blue Lantern creating them. The types of constructs usually reflects the ring wearer's personality.

Hope Empowerment: The Blue Lantern ring is unique in that its base of power, Hope, can be manipulated by the ring user. Being in direct range of the emotional aura of a blue lantern allows them to charge an outer power reserve, by the sheer hope of the lantern its power will remain constant. The empowerment extends to even the stellar reactions of stars, allowing one to reverse the age of a dying star to that of a relatively new born star. Solely empowered by the hope of the population that relied on it, in turn empowering the Blue Lantern who then collects and uses it for the purpose of transformation. The ability bypasses the need for ring energy expenditure.

Fear Depletion: As fear is the belief of imminent demise, hope is the belief of imminent success. As such, Blue Lantern Rings are capable of depleting the energy of Qwardian Power Rings.

Avarice Immunity: A blue ring is not vulnerable to the Orange Lantern Corps' favored tactic of draining energy from other Corps' rings. The reason of this is that while Avarice erodes Will, it can't consume Hope, thus rendering Avarice useless against Hope.

Rage Removal: If a subject has been infected with the red light of rage, a Blue Power Ring can create a vision of the subject's greatest hope to calm and heal them. The process behind the removal is part spiritual and part medical. The infected goes through a cellular cleansing while the spiritual levels are analyzed and antitoxins are then administrated. When the spiritual connection is connected the blood production begins to increase. The end result releases those infected.

Flight: By the manipulation of anti-gravitons and directed molecular movement, the ring allows the user to fly at incredible speeds.

Wormholes & Spacial Warps: The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport. Black holes can be navigated by experienced ring wielders.

Limited Cellular Regeneration: The blue ring had an ability to heal physical injuries. Blue Lanterns can use the ring to repair injuries in themselves or others.

Electromagnetic Scanning: The ring has a wide range of detection abilities based on the imagination of the user. If one can conceive of it, they can detect it. Magical effects like clairvoyance, seem to be the most difficult for the ring. All electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications.

Universal Translator: Keeping in mind the myriad of worlds, life forms, and cultures throughout the cosmos, it is understandable why Guardians of Hope added a translation system to the power ring.

Material Alteration: The Blue Lantern's uniform is not made out of fabric. It is created by the Power Ring whenever the wearer wills to wear it. It automatically appears over the wearer's normal clothing, and vanishes when the wearer wills to return to their civilian attire. Most Blue Lantern wear similar uniforms that are programmed into the ring by default. However, each Blue Lantern is able to adjust their uniform to fit their own needs, personalities and whims.

Precognition: Upon receiving the ring, Blue Lanterns will experience a moment of the future by the Blue Light, directly related to the wielder and with the express purpose of lifting their hopes.
