This will be an official fanfic. The others were practice to get used to writing but there was one I really want to do. After you read this fanfic, please review and give me your ideas. I will take all of them seriously. Enjoy!

I do not own Naruto, Iron Man, or Mortal Kombat.

Tony Stark sighed as he looked at the kid in front of him. The kid had blond spiky hair, had aforehead protector, and wore a ridiculous orange outfit. But these things weren't the qualities he put his attention in. He was more interested in the shredded left arm and right leg. He also had some fracturing in his skull and had severe damage to the heart and part of his right lung. His orange outfit was more red now then orange.

Tony sighed again. He really didn't care who this was. It just was that one of his security cameras found him near dead at the bottom of an abyss. This abyss had many sharp rocks that jutted out from the walls. It seemed that he hit some of those rocks on the way down. He hit the floor of the abyss with great speed and broke and fractured many bones. Naruto laid there until Tony had put on his Iron Man suit and picked him up. Now he laid on Tony's examination table in his lab. As on why he had cameras secured around the place was someone convinced him to place some around the Elemental Countries.

"How's the kid?" Tony turned his head to that particular someone: his friend and teacher. "Not so well, Goyaji. He's in critical condition. I put him in stasis for a while but it won't last."

"And you cannot repair him like you have done yourself with your power core?"

"Well, of course I can. But my power core holds dangerous power. If it fell into the wrong hands, it could cause chaos. Remember what I told you about the people who used my invention incorrectly?"

Yamanaka Goyaji nodded. Tony had told him about Obadiah and Whiplash. "So what will you do?"

"It's not me, my old friend. It's you."

"Me?" Goyaji examined at Tony's face looking for signs of what he was thinking. 'What are you planning?

"You once told me that you had a jutsu that could enter one's heart. Do you think you could search this boy then?"

Goyaji's eyes widened. "That was years ago. I'm surprised you remember. But, what you say is true. And if that will save this boy from meeting death, I am willing to help." He walked over to the thirteen year old and put one hand on boy's forehead. He put his other hand on boy's chest. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Then he said, "Akuma no hōrō no himitsu no geijutsu: Yami wa, jibun jishin o akiraka ni suru. (secret art of the wandering demon: Darkness, reveal yourself.) He opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by darkness. 'This jutsu shows the darkness in one's heart. If I can't find any light, he will die. Tony won't heal the boy unless the boy will not abuse the power. He slowly and carefully looked around, but all he saw was darkness. It was pitch black. Goyaji darkened, as he realized the boy has seen his last day. He got ready to leave this heart and tell Tony the bad news. Then suddenly, he was blinded by light. It was so bright, it nearly made him cancel the jutsu. What? How did I miss a light this big? His eyes adjusted and he looked at the source of the illumination. He was surprised to see that there was only one speck of light. But he was certain that all that light was coming from there.

Tony waited a few minutes for his friend to fully examine the boy's heart. He heard shuffling and saw that Goyaji was done. "Well?" Tony asked.

Goyaji looked at Tony. "He won't abuse the power. At least, not like your other adversaries."

Tony had a look of confusion on his face. "What do you mean? How else could he abuse the power other than what Obadiah and Whiplash have done? Are you saying that he had no light?"

His old friend shook his head. "No, he had one speck."

"One speck?"

Goyaji held up a hand before Tony could say anything else. "But this speck may be enough. His light is bright, Tony." Tony looked at Goyaji and saw that he was serious. He knew he could trust him. He had taught him the workings of the ninja arts when he came to the Elemental Countries. He knew more than he knew about this subject. But one speck? "I'm not fully convinced."

"Then why don't you examine him. Come." Tony walked up to the two. Goyaji took Tony's hand and placed it over the boy's heart. As soon as he did, Tony heard many different statements, all with the same voice. It was the boy's voice, he assumed. But it did not hear well for the kid.

"Why do they hurt me?"

"I didn't do anything. LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"I should just kill the people who hurt me."

"I'm going to KILL NEJI!"

He was about to ask what Goyaji saw in the kid, but stopped when he heard the faintest of all the statements.

"I want to protect all my precious people!"

Tony smiled. "That is one bright light, indeed."

Beep. Beep. Beep. This was the sound Naruto woke up to. He opened his eyes to see a dark and unfamiliar ceiling. He wondered where he was and how he got here. He remembered what had happened. Ero-sennin had pushed him off a cliff and into a dark canyon with a lot of sharp rocks. He tried to summon the Kyuubi's chakra, but was interrupted when his arm hit one of the sharp rocks. His arm went numb from the elbow down, but he saw the blood. He knew what had happened. He hit 5 more sharp rocks on the way down. His leg had hit one of these rocks that happened to be pointing up. His leg was stabbed through. Gravity and momentum did the rest as the rock dragged through his leg. When his leg was free, Naruto nearly cried out when he saw that his leg didn't even look like a leg anymore. His arm hit 3 more rocks as he fell and made the arm resemble his leg. The shock of the pain made his body unable to scream in pain. But relief came to him when he passed out. He fell unconscious when he hit the floor.

Naruto wanted to see the damage to his limbs, no matter a bad that idea was. But he found himself strapped to the surface he laid on. He struggled against his restrainers. He panicked, thinking he was going to die from blood loss or that someone kidnapped him and was going to kill him. But then he heard an unfamiliar voice say, "Please refrain from moving. Repairs have only been completed as of 5 minutes ago." It sounded like a female's voice, but it sounded odd. "Who's there?" Naruto shakily asked.

"Oh, you're up. Much faster than I expected.", said a new voice. This one was a male. He looked at the owner of the voice and saw a man in his 40's that had brown hair and a beard. He wore a simple gray shirt and jeans. Naruto, obviously frightened, asked, "Who are you?" Naruto then heard the same female voice.

Name: Tony Stark
Age: 44
Occupation: Inventor and owner of Stark Industries: a former weapon manufacturing company.
Creator of Iron Man.

"Me? My name's Tony Stark. I'm the reason you're still alive." Naruto eye's widened that the new voice told him exactly that, but then hardened a moment later. "Why then am I restrained to this if I'm supposed to be your patient?"

Tony snorted. "To make sure you didn't move during surgery or recovery."

'Surgery? Tony continued. "Man, but you were messed up. I had to replace your arm and leg and had to put a power core in you. I even had to repair your brain."

'My arm? My leg? What does he mean replace? What's a power core. My brain? Naruto growled. "Okay, I had enough. What the hell is going on?"

Instead of answering his question, Tony said to what appeared to Naruto as thin air, "JARVIS, release his restraints."

Out of nowhere, Naruto heard a voice say, "Are you sure? He should be resting for another 2 hours." Naruto jumped when he heard the new talker as it sounded like it came from everywhere. He also noticed the voice was odd. Just like the female voice he heard earlier.

Tony replied to the bodiless voice, "Well, we also calculated that he wouldn't wake for another day. But it seems this kid is special."

"Understood. Releasing restraints now." Naruto felt metal move off his wrists and ankles. He sat up and saw there was a mirror in front of him and yelped in surprise due to what he saw. He saw himself. But his arm, it was thinner than the other. And it seemed to be made of metal with wires sticking out and going back in his metal amr. His leg was the same. He also had a weird glowing circle in the middle of his chest. But what caught his eye was his head. Out of the top of his head, on the right side, there was a round weird shaped piece of metal sticking out. It was turning too. The pink flesh next to the circle was well visible.

"Sorry about that. To fix your brain, since it received some major trauma, I had installed a machine that acts like a brain and a CPU. But not all could fit in your head and that's why you could see that gear sticking out.

Naruto stared at his reflection. Tony thought it would be best to leave him alone before he heard, "I look like a monster." Tony turned around and looked at the boy. He was crying and looking at his arm, then his leg, then at his reflection, and then back to his arm. He then glared with teary eyes and yelled, "Why did you do this to me?"

Tony was startled. This wasn't what he had expected. He glared back. "I wanted to help you. I wanted you to live!"

Naruto got angry at him. "If you wanted to help me, you could have left me to die! That's much better than becoming this… this abomination!"

Tony could see that Naruto was fading. He was losing his light. He decided it was time to use his last resort. 'Damn. If I knew that the kid would break so easily, I would have put him under a longer stasis and figure out a plan. "You know, I didn't even want to save you." Naruto opened his mouth, but was cut off by Tony. "I didn't want to save you. I gave you a power that people could use to hurt people, to kill people. I have no idea who the hell you are! You could destroy hundreds of lives in a blink of an eye! But my friend told me that you were worth saving. That you wouldn't abuse that power. He looked into your heart and found a light. A bright light. I had looked at it too and that was the reason I saved you!"

"What? What are you talking about? Light? Stop screwing around with me!"

"That light said something to me. It was why I saved you. Do you know what I heard?" Naruto didn't answer. "I heard, I want to protect all my precious people." Naruto's eyes widened, both looking at Tony. "Then I knew I could trust you. But you can't protect your precious people when you're dead! Don't you want to protect? Do you want to?"

Naruto was silent. He gave no answer. But then, Naruto picked up his head and showed that he was still crying. "O-Of course I do."

"Then stop complaining. I not only saved you, but I gave you power some people could only imagine. If you really want to protect, then stand up and fight!" Naruto used his human arm and wiped away his tears. Then he looked at Tony. Tony noticed that it was not a face of despair anymore. It was the look of resolve. Tony inwardly sighed. He almost lost the kid.

"Good work, Tony. It seems that his light is shining brighter than ever before."

"No problem. It's my responsibility now, Goyaji." Naruto looked at the newcomer. He was old, really old. He had gray hair and a beard to match it. It stretched all the way to the ground. He wore black robes with yellow stars and moons patched on. He had many scars on his faces, showing his battle experience. All in all, Naruto could tell that he was a very wise and knowledgeable person no matter how ridiculous his clothes were. The old man looked at Naruto and for some reason Naruto felt like he had to show respect. He stood up and bowed. "It's my pleasure to meet you. My name's Uzumaki Naruto."

The old man's eyes widened. "You are the Kyuubi jinchuuriki?" Naruto put a hand over his mouth. 'Another Kyuubi hater that hates me too?

Silence…..then..

"WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Goyaji burst out laughing. "No wonder I had a hard time modifying your chakra. It had a different feel to them. But I never would have guessed that it was a Bijuu's chakra interfering. Good thing that I sealed it off though."

Naruto waited a moment to let the words sink in. When they did, Naruto had already rushed across the room to Goyaji and yelled, "What do you mean that you sealed it off? Aw man, Ero-sennin just unsealed it for me too."

Goyaji chuckled at Naruto's antics. "I did not seal if off completely."

"Huh?"

"I basically created a seal to act like a gateway. It can open or close depending on what the seal is set on. I can teach you how to change it." Naruto sighed. As he did, his head bent forward. "What's this?", he said as he tapped the power core.

"That's what's keeping you alive.", said Tony. "It's a power core that I made off a design of an arc reactor."

"…" Naruto had a look of confusion on his face. Tony sighed. This was not going to be easy. Goyaji could just enter the mind and see his memories so it was easy explaining to him. Naruto obviously could not. "An arc reactor acts like a power source.", explained Goyaji. "But this could produce enough energy to power your village." Naruto's eyes bugged out. Konoha was huge in his opinion and to power it was beyond his comprehension.

"So this was the power you talked about?", asked Naruto. Instead of answering the question, Tony waved Naruto toward him. "Come with me."

They walked into a huge room. Naruto thought it was bigger than the forest of death he had to stay 5 days in. The three males walked to a wall that was strange to Naruto. It wasn't flat, but the surrounding wall was. It was flat, then it came out as a curve, and then returned to be flat. Tony walked up next to the curve and touched the wall with his entire hand. A blue horizontal line moved vertically up and down. Then a small part of the wall moved back to reveal a keypad. Tony punched in some numbers that Naruto couldn't see. The air was filled by the sound of hissing. 'Hee, it sounds like a silent fart. thought you-know-who. No, it wasn't Naruto. It was Goyaji. A line split the curve in half. Naruto's jaw dropped. 'What technique did he do? Was it a jutsu? No, all I saw was he pressed some numbers.

The doors created by the split moved away revealing the contents inside. Naruto stared. And stared. And stared. His face broke into a huge grin and his eyes were filled with stars. 'That's the coolest thing I ever seen!

A red and gold suit stood there. It was made for battle, Naruto assumed. He imagined going into a war with that on. 'I would be so bad ass. Right. "What is this?" Naruto asked enthusiastically.

"It's a suit I made called Iron Man."

"Iron Man?" 'Man, the name sucks. But didn't that voice say something about Iron Man before?

Tony nodded. "This is a finished product. The original was destroyed by me when a certain person used it for his own gain."

'I wonder who that was. Why would he destroy it anyways? "It's just armor, right? How could he use it for his own gain."

Tony grinned. "I was hoping you would ask." He stepped into the armor. "JARVIS, equip armor."

Again as it seemed to come from everywhere, Naruto heard, "Yes, of course, Master Tony." Metal arms came down from the ceiling. They all had drills or claws. The arms grabbed the armor and put it on Tony. When two interconnecting pieces were attached, the drill arms screwed them in. Naruto's eyes were still filled with stars. "But, I asked how you could abuse it."

The suit lifted up a arm. Naruto jumped a bit when Goyaji put his hand on his shoulder and dragged him away to the left. He let go of Naruto when they got away far enough to avoid casualties but close enough to see Iron Man. The bodiless voice spoke. "Thrust power at 40%. Firing." What Naruto saw next made his jaw hit the ground. A beam of light, at least Naruto thought it was, shot from the suit's palm and hit a target across the room.

BOOM!

The target was no longer standing where Naruto last saw it. It was now embedded into the wall. Naruto gulped. "My question's answered." 'Note to self: Don't piss off Tony-san.

"That's not all. This suit has tons of hidden armaments, all with destructive capabilities." Naruto stood calm and listened while inside he was jumping around in excitement in seeing the power it generated. Wait, power? "Hey Tony, how did your suit do that? Where's the power coming from? I just saw the insides of the suit and didn't see a battery or anything."

Tony pointed at Naruto's chest. "Think. What did we just discuss about that?" Naruto looked at where he was pointing and saw the power core. 'Oh yeah, this thing was based off an… what was it called? Arm reactorium? No, art keactor? No, umm…. Aw, who cares? The original could power the entire village. So that's what's powering Iron Man. Then he realized something. Naruto has a power core. "Do I get a suit too?" Naruto was trying not to jump around as much as he could no matter how excited he was.

"Eager, are we? Come. I don't have your suit, but we can make it now. Let's talk about design. Goyaji, you come too. I might need ninja expert help." Naruto happily and enthusiastically followed Tony. Goyaji sighed. This was not how he wanted to spend his day. He walked with the rest into the next room.

Sarutobi watched the stadium. It was packed with spectators from all over the Elemental Countries. In the arena stood today's competitors. But two were missing: Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. The Uchiha was the one he cared about. He was worried about Naruto, or more specifically, what he had to tell everyone including Naruto's friends on what had happened to Naruto.

Flashback

Jirayia hit the wall opposite of the old leader. They were in the Hokage's office. "You killed him?"

Jirayia stepped out of the crater he created with his body. "I had thought that he would summon the Kyuubi's chakra and summon a toad big enough to save him. How did I know that he would hit one of the rocks as he fell?" The pervert shut up as Sarutobi gave him the coldest glare he had ever seen. He had messed with the God of Shinobi's surrogate grandson and he could tell he wasn't going to get off easy.

But instead of the harsh punishment he had expected, Sarutobi remained silent. Then he spoke. "Leave my office, now! I will decide what will happen to you afterwards for killing a fellow Konoha shinobi."

"B-But what will you tell the people?"

"I-I… I don't know. Just leave. NOW!" Jirayia nodded and left out the door instead of the usual window. Sarutobi stayed still for a few minutes. Then when he was sure no one could hear him, he broke out crying, mourning the death of one of his lived ones.

Flashback End

Sarutobi had finished mourning and decided that it was best to tell everyone at the beginning of the exam.

"Hokage-sama. Hokage-sama, sir!" Sarutobi was brought out of his thoughts and looked at the one calling him It was one of the jounin of his village. "Hokage-sama, we're ready to start." Sarutobi nodded and stood up, ready to announce the start of the exam and give the melancholy news.

In the stands, 5 minutes before…

"Hey Ino, can you see Naruto anywhere?"

"No I can't Sakura. But Sasuke-kun isn't here either. Are they training together?"

"I hope so." The pink haired girl wished. She had short bubblegum pink hair that stopped at her shoulders. She wore a pink dress and green shorts. She wore her forehead protector on top of her head like a headband.

"Don't worry. If they're together, then they can't fail. Especially if Sasuke-kun is with Naruto.", said the blond hair girl. This girl was wearing casual clothes. She wore an orange outfit and had her hair (or what she had left after she cut the ponytail off) tied in a bun. She wore her forehead protector on her waist like a belt.

In another part of the stands, a blue haired girl wearing casual blue clothes sat in her seat, worried for a certain spiky blond haired kid. 'Naruto-kun, where are you? I didn't see him all this month. I hope nothing happened. She jumped when Kiba spoke. "Hey, where's the orange idiot. It's not like him to skip out of a fight, and even more not like him to break a promise, right Hinata?"

The blue haired girl name Hinata nodded. She looked at her teammate and saw that Akamaru was on top of his head like usual. Kiba had beast like eyes and red tattoos due to him being a Inuzuka. He wore a gray jacket with a hood that was not on right now and dark pants. The dog called Akamaru barked in agreement to Kiba's question.

All conversation and thinking was interrupted by the sound of the Hokage's voice. "Good people of the Elemental Countries and Hidden Villages, welcome to the final part of the Chunin Exams. We have our competitors ready to fight, and they are eager to earn the title of Chunin. But before we start the first match, I have an announcement."

Everyone started to whisper. They wondered what this announcement was. The people of Konoha were confused. They did not hear anything about this.

"I am sad to inform you people of this. But I must as the Hokage. We have lost 2 of our competitors to the hands of death: Kintura Dosu and…" Everyone leaned forward to listen. But Sakura heart nearly stopped. Except for that mummy guy, there were two people that were missing and they were both her teammates.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Sarutobi finished.

The reaction was instant. There was silence from the people from other villages. But from the people of Konoha, "The demon is dead! HAHAHA!" All of the people who had hunted down Naruto over the years cheered. At least they did until the guy who started it was hit by a kunai. Everyone looked at the cold eyes of the Hokage. "Even though Naruto is dead, the law is still active." He didn't want anyone from other villages to know about the Kyuubi.

"Then would the referee start the match?"

"We have lost 2 of our competitors to the hands of death: Kintura Dosu and Uzumaki Naruto."

Sakura had her hand on her mouth. Tears were spilling over her eyes. She didn't really like Naruto that much, but he had gotten to her. His enthusiastic behavior put everyone in good terms with him. Ino was crying too. She had been affected by Naruto, also. But…

Hinata was bawling her eyes out. It got so bad that her heart condition, due of her fight with Neji, started back up and she started to cough. Kiba was sad, but he would be lying to say that he wasn't angry. He knew Naruto and knew that he wasn't the type to die by accident. He was clumsy, but not that clumsy. He patted Hinata on her back to try and lessen her coughing.

There was one genin happy to hear the news. Hyuga Neji smiled. "I told him that fate would let me win. He didn't listen and got his due."

"Next match: Uchiha Sasuke vs Sabaku no Gaara." The emotionless Gaara and the pissed Sasuke got on the arena. Sasuke, when he heard the news, got angry. Naruto was one of the people he wanted to fight. 'How dare he go and die?

In the stands…

Rock Lee and his sensei had also heard the sad news. They were unlike themselves. Gai looked up at the sky and said, "What an unyouthful day, huh Kakashi." The one eyed jounin gave no answer. He was too busy blaming himself. 'If I had taken Naruto with me, this wouldn't have happened. Everyone had stopped crying and calmed down, but many of the orange ninja's friends had a sad look on their faces. Their depressing thoughts were interrupted by the sound of chirping birds. Everyone looked at the arena and saw that Gaara had created a dome of sand around him, and Sasuke was rushing toward him with what seemed to be lightning in his hands. Gai's eyes widened. "Kakashi, you didn't."

Kakashi gave a sad nod. "Sasuke need a move that could beat Gaara's sand defense. He had already copied Lee's moves and we built from there to gain his speed."

Sakura's eyes were wide as well. "Sensei, what is that?"

Gai answered for the cyclops. "It's an A-rank assassination move. It's based off of Kakashi's Raikiri, a move that cut through lightning itself."

A scream was heard. They looked back at the two ninja and saw that Sasuke was holding his arm. Gaara was holding a bloody shoulder. "My blood. IT'S MY BLOOD!" Gaara held up a hand and sand grabbed Sasuke's legs. Sasuke struggled, but the sand was too strong. The sand engulfed him until he was up to his shoulders in sand. 'Am I going to die? Will I never avenge my clan? My clan! What will they say when I get up there? What will I say? Sasuke closed his eyes and waited for the impending doom.

Then he heard it.

"Thrust power at 20%. Firing." Sasuke heard a boom. No longer than a second later Sasuke shot out of the sand and onto the ground. His arm hurt a little bit since he landed on it, but other than that, he was unscathed. He tried to stand up but couldn't find the energy too. The shock from the explosion and the landing has jarred him.

Sasuke felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see the person and started to tremble. This newcomer was wearing all black. He wore a black coat that was long enough to reach the ground(Imagine Organization XIV's black coats, but this one is open). Sasuke looked at what was exposed by the coat and saw a black breastplate protecting the chest of the newcomer. In the middle, he saw a light that was tinted reddish black like mixing blood and ink together. He also saw that his shoes were made of metal and looked very thick. 'Note to self, don't get kicked by this guy. He looked higher and saw that metal also encased that calves of the newcomer. He noticed that his hands were covered in metal and where the knuckles were, there was a black cloth. Actually, everywhere without metal was covered in black cloth. But then Sasuke looked at the newcomer's face. It wasn't a face. It was a helmet, this Sasuke was certain. But it was creepy. The top of the helmet was covered by the black hood of the coat. The eyes or where it should be were replaced with one eye. A red, metal eye that existed in the helmet and seemed to be able to move all the way from one side of his head to the other. There were 6 notches on the side of his helmet, 3 on each side. Each had a tube inside that looked like a breathing apparatus. Sasuke was about to ask who he was but stopped when he heard something he never thought he would hear before in a metallic voice. "Got your ass kicked pretty well, didn't you, teme?"

Sasuke's eyes widened. Only one person called him that. "Naruto?"
