Chapter 24

Inside the core of the earth, Naruto finished with this combat practice with Supergirl where they were being analyzed by Veritas for maximum effectiveness.

From the battle it was very clear that Kara lacked experience and her movements were easy to read for someone like Naruto.

The only thing that kept Kara in battle was her high durability and for the first time since she started out, Supergirl received a great beat down that also hurt since Naruto's attacks had grown on potency while her base level was weaker than Clark.

Regardless of the loss or victory both combatants learned from this battle as Kara felt her skill level increase with the continuous battle as her mind took everything in while Naruto learned how to fight against durable monsters.

Focus on a single point of impact over and over until they break. It took him some to realize this point after seeing that an attack hurt Kara even though it hadn't for the first time.

Finishing up, Kara went to take a shower as she was feeling very sweaty and didn't like the smell. Naruto was still a guy and definitely appreciated her appearance as she was wet.

Even the experience was Raven had made him react when he was so close to her booty or the time when she stuck to him.

As a guy he gave it an A plus rating and just because he hadn't done it yet or wouldn't do it until he found love doesn't mean he can't appreciate the bounties of nature.

Moving on from the beautiful sight, Naruto sat beside Veritas, "How was it?"

"Your fighting style is definitely very creative and unique but it had flaws. You could have increased the affect by using chakra at this moment and it would have flowed better if you moved like this." Veritas broke down the fight for him and gave out suggestions as analyzed by the super computer with data from different galaxies

Naruto listened carefully and noted it down as he could really see the benefit of having a machine that could analyze things so efficiently as it was making his progress even faster.

He wouldn't have noticed these small details until very far into his career and after gathering a large amount of experience.

"Thank you very much Veritas. I can never thank you enough. You are just the best Doctor I know." Naruto said as he hugged Veritas tightly showing his appreciation

"You are welcome and you are the best hero I know."

"Ah you are making me blush."

"I am serious since you are the only one that has assured me that I will get free soon enough and even took time to visit for a talk when you don't even like complicated things."

"It's the least I can do after what you have done and I am also freeing you because now you are my team mate."

"Regardless of what you say now, my heart beat like a child when you said those words and I will follow you. No matter how smart I am and how powerful I am, there are times when you want to be protected but till now no one showed such intentions. They were too afraid of hurting the planet that they haven't showed any progress in these five years."

"I am just confident in my skills and luck."

"And I am looking forward to it." Veritas smiled happily as today her mood was very positive since Naruto expressed his intention to save her and his offer of friendship

In the time before this incident she wouldn't have bothered with such simpletons but time changes everyone and she had changed. She could now appreciate the simple things in life.

She now understood that kindness truly shouldn't be taken for granted because you will miss it when there none to give or receive.

Cold logic failed her and would lead to her eternal damnation. In this time of need, it was kindness that came to her rescue instead of logic that she dearly held to her heart.

Really she couldn't help but want to experience more things as a living being now that her heart was once again moving.

"Do I have something on my face?"

"Yes, let me get it" Veritas got closer but Naruto blocked her head with his hand

"I am not so easy to fool and really thank you for everything but that kind of thing should be taken slowly. I don't want to lose myself to pleasure and such things without actual emotions behind them. Love is a sacred thing and we should try to find that right person so that we may always live in happiness instead of a temporary dream."

"Hehe, you look very charming when you become so serious. I don't really understand your point but I guess you don't want to act unless we both have real feelings."

"Exactly, I just don't think we need to hurry with such things. Take your time and choose carefully."

"Well, I like you and I definitely think my desire for you will increase every day so how do you intend to take responsibility for that?" Veritas teased as she got closer

"Responsibility for what?" Kara asked as she came back to the room and saw Veritas suspiciously close to Naruto for some reason

"Nothing really, she was just asking about ramen. I talked her into getting hungry and she was asking if I was going to take responsibility for that." Naruto replied quickly while pinching Veritas, making her grin at the scene

"Right, I was thinking that we should go shopping and see the city since we haven't really done anything together yet."

Naruto stood up and let Veritas hold his hand behind their backs, "I would love to but let's take Mother and Raven with us."

"Don't worry, I already invited them." Kara smiled as she got closer but Naruto disappeared at that moment as it was his time to pop

Naruto had decided to pop them in order and take data one at a time so that his mind wasn't overwhelmed.

"I don't think you should aim for little kids." Kara said as she left the lab

Veritas definitely didn't expect that but found it funny. Really life seemed so much brighter now that she could laugh at such simple things.

'Maybe it really is love.'

Things might have ended with Mongul but other events were still playing out. In the underground base of the Light, Artemis and Aqualad were standing behind Black Mantra, DeathStroke and Vandal Savage as they discussed with the rest of the members about the incident and how it affected their plans.

The release of the JL members was unexpected and delayed their objectives.

The risk had increased and the plans were derailed quite a bit.

They acknowledged the part played by the new member and wished to acquire him for study, and use for different plans as his clone ability was quite useful.

Aqualad was surprised to hear the news and very happy but now he didn't whether to continue this mission or not.

But time didn't wait for anyone as the clones on Artemis woke and took down the members of the light instantly.

"This was easier than expected."

"What are you doing?" Artemis asked as she saw the two clones

"Taking them out since there is no point in risking your lives for this charade. The heroes are back and now we have three prisoners." Naruto replied while he remembered the voices of the man and realized he knew one of them

Lex Luthor

'I will take him down once I am done here.' There was one difference between Naruto and the League; Naruto didn't care about the laws.

He would capture and defeat anyone that he deemed evil. It had always been that way and he didn't see the point of gathering evidence when he knew that the man was involved in crimes.

Pointless steps were pointless but the problem was how to keep him in prison. He still hadn't prepared his prison world yet.

'Throw them all in Rimbor's prison.' Naruto thought as he had already decided to handle Vandal and Mantra this way but he will just throw Lex as an extra

"You are a ninja, aren't you?"

"I am your father so where are you my son." Naruto asked seriously to Ras Al Ghul's question

"I will be seeing you soon." With that the transmission cut off

"Well, let's get out of here." Naruto muttered as he picked up his prisoners and allies while the other clone decided to bust the base

Arriving over ground, they watched a golden dome of energy form as everything was erased.

"We could have hacked into the system." Aqualad said as he looked at his father who seemed to be shocked at the betrayal

"I doubt that would have worked and they most likely would have fed you false information." Naruto replied as he flew away with his prisoners while Wally arrived to crush Artemis in a hug

The surprises of the day hadn't ended as it seems and the reach showed itself to the world, and somehow the government accepted their words of coming in peace even though the league had shared its data with them.
