Chapter 110 - Chapter 9: Meeting The Titans

Almost 3 years have passed since Naruto left Konoha and found himself in a place called jump city. Now at 15 closing in on 16, Naruto looked more mature and now stood at 6'1 with muscles that were built for both speed and power. Over the years, his hair started to spike and now it was a shorter version of his fathers, but it was still two different colors. He kept up his training and now knew for a fact that he was far stronger than his father.

He kept in contact with Kushina, Anko, Kurenai, Sakura, TenTen and Shizune over the years and Kushina even came to visit him after he was gone for a year. He learned that Minato stepped down as hokage and Tsunade took over for him. Sakura was now Tsunade's apprentice and even signed the slug contract. Narumi decided to break her contract with the slugs because they didn't fit her fighting style and she signed with the toads.

Anko was still the same except she started dating Iruka and was engaged. Kurenai was still seeing Asuma and they were trying to have a child now. TenTen became a jonin a year after he left and mastered some of the jutsus he gave her. Shizune was still busy as Tsunade's assistant, but she has the occasional date with Genma. Kushina had surprised him when she visited because she was pregnant and gave birth 7 months after she left from visiting him. He now has a baby sister named Mito.

He thought he would have a hard time adjusting to new life here, but it was simple. He thought he'd have to relearn everything but he didn't have to. His biggest challenge was trying to learn how to drive something they called a car. It took him a few months of learning, but he eventually got it. When he went to the place for an ID card he had to tell the lady he was from a different dimension and she didn't even flinch. Apparently they had villains and hero's here so he showed her his ninja license he had and she gave him paperwork to fill out. 2 weeks later he received his new ID card and even managed to get him a two bedroom apartment.

The landlord had doubts about him living there due to other people that had special powers as he put it, but Naruto proved him wrong. He offered to pay double the rent and fix anything around the building that needed repairs for the first year. Needless to say the landlord was suprised at how well and how fast Naruto could adjust to life in jump city. With the help of Naruto's shadow clones the entire building was completely fixed and looked brand new.

Naruto also had a run in with some villains and quickly dealt with them. He still couldn't find Raven so he figured he would have to try harder since the kunai wasn't working how he wanted it to. He noticed a group of teenagers around his age stopping bank robbers. Naruto thought it was good except for the outfit one of them wore. Whoever it was he was wearing something that made him look like a human traffic light.

Right now he was pulling a night shift duty at some art gallery where he had two of his paintings. One was a painting of him, Kushina, Anko, Sakura, Mito, Shizune, Kurenai and TenTen. They all sent him recent pictures of what they looked like and he made a painting of all of them. He made one for himself, one for the art gallery and one for each one of them. The next painting was one of him, Itachi and Shisui. They each had their sharingan activated in the painting and he used something called holographic paint so if you looked at it from different angles, their sharingan would switch to their Mangekyou sharingan.

He didn't need a job since he made a lot of money from doing repairs, but he used this job to learn about different types of art and what other people were inspired by. His painting looked like it was real and alive and so many people wanted it, but it wasn't for sale. One thing he liked about the night shift was that he didn't need to do a lot. Just walk around once every hour and check the area. He ordered some pizza as it quickly became his favorite food once he arrived and he could eat 10 boxes himself.

His current relaxing period was cut off by the sound of an explosion. He looked at the cameras and three people blew a hole in the wall when it was a door they could've easily used. He studied them and took in their appearances. One was a huge-muscled villain. That had long red hair, a goatee and his eyes are white with no pupils. His uniform consists of a sleeveless black unitard with a yellow pattern going across his costume, and the patterns have circles sticking out. He wears wristbands and shoes with the same pattern.

The other who was clearly a female has light gray skin. Her hair is shaped like a horseshoe, sticking out just a little bit at the tips. Her hair color is light pink with metallic black bands near the top. Her eyes match her hair color, with pupils shaped like a cat's. She also has small, oval shaped, pink cheek blushes. Her outfit is a black long-sleeved dress with a violet centered bands. The bottom of her dress is cut jagged about halfway down her thigh. She also has violet and black striped leggings under her dress. Her shoes are black platform boots with violet soles. She also has a black collar with a violet charm on it.

Lastly was another boy who looked like a 5 year old and Naruto chuckled at this. He is bald, and his eyes have no pupils, but he wears green goggles frequently. His entire costume is a dark green one-piece with shoes built in. The opening in which is neck goes in is quite large, and he has a gray appliance in the middle of his chest.

Naruto just sighed since he just wanted a quiet night and now he would have to do paperwork. He looked at the camera some more and noticed they went straight for his painting of him, Shisui and Itachi. He was about to make his move when another explosion happened on another wall.

"I swear if somebody blows up one more wall, I'm trapping them in the Tsukuyomi as many times as I can." Naruto thought

Out of the 2nd hole came 5 more teenagers and Naruto recognized one. He was the same boy that looked like a traffic light. He looked at the others and took in their appearance. He had to admit one of them was incredibly beautiful. She had long fiery-red hair is down to her waist and back as well as being straight with bangs. She has small eyebrows and green eyes with light-green scleras. She is tall, with bright orange skin. Her outfit is mostly violet with a belt, her gorget and gauntlets being silver with green jewels that matched the color of her eyes. She also wears a silver armband on her right arm. She wears a sleeveless crop top showing her midriff, a mini-skirt, and thigh-high boots all in violet, and her tight-high boots have silvery-white edges.

Another looked like a mixture between a robot and a human. Naruto figured he must be the brains of the group. His human body parts that were left seemed to be well developed so Naruto guessed he was an athlete before. Another one was all green even his hair and wore what looked like a purple and black jumpsuit with grey shoes and gloves. Naruto couldn't really see the last person since whoever it was had on a cloak, but he did know the person was a female due to her chest sticking out.

He was going to help, but decided to wait and see what the new group was capable of. They sprang into action and Naruto had to admit the 5 teenagers were impressive. The cyborg and traffic light took on the muscle villian. They were winning at first, but one slip up cost them as the villian started to pummel them and toss them around.

The green guy with pointy ears, turned into a monkey and took on the short person of the group and Naruto actually laughed at that. The monkey destroyed the kids gadget he had on his back and the little person ran away as the monkey chased him. Naruto figured he's nothing without that gadget and the monkey boy probably didn't know that, but got lucky.

The girl in the cloak and the orange skin girl took on the last girl that had pink hair. That was an interesting fight as 2 of them could throw blasts. The pink hair girl did something causing the girl in the cloak to go crashing into the orange skin girl. The traffic light and the cyborg came crashing next to them along with the green guy. Naruto made his way to the fight and hid in the shadows. He watched as the three villains quickly took advantage of the five teens being down. The pink hair girl used her powers and sent everyone flying back.

The girl in the cloak protected herself and used her powers to throw objects at them. Naruto was a bit sad because all of this damage would come out of his pockets. The girl in the cloak was suddenly blasted out of the air and she hit the ground hard. Her team tried to help but they were trapped under some rubble that was created. The girls hood on the cloak fell off revealing a head of violet hair that looked familiar to Naruto.

"Wait a minute. Is that who I think it is?" Naruto thought

He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a grunting noise and saw a huge piece of earth flying towards the girl. Naruto watched as she struggled to get to her feet and he heard her teammate yell.

"RAVEN MOVE." The traffic light yelled

"RAVEN." Naruto thought

The girl in question lifted her head revealing it actually was Raven and saw the large piece of earth coming at her. She raised her hands to protect herself from some of the impact. Naruto acted quickly and used his lightning ball jutsu to destroy the piece of earth coming at her. Everyone looked around confused at what just happened and the villain was pissed.

"What the?! Who did that?!" He asked

"I did." Naruto said and appeared in front of them

"Who is he?" Everyone thought

"You? You're just a security guard. You can't do anything." The pink hair girl said and Naruto raised his palm towards her

Wind style: Gale palm jutsu

Wind chakra was shot out from his palm and she was sent flying back into the wall. She lost consciousness on impact and everyone was amazed and surprised at his ability to use wind like he did.

The short one started yelling at Naruto for hurting the girl he called Jinx and ran at Naruto. Naruto raised an eyebrow at him and gave him props for still trying so he decided to scare him a bit. He held up a hand sign and created his triple water dragon jutsu out of the air and made them all chase the little guy until he ran into a wall and knocked himself out. The green boy got a good laugh out of that one.

"Nice one dude!" The green boy said

"Thanks." Naruto said and got punched away by the last villain

"Ouch." Naruto thought

He looked up and saw the mammoth looking villain standing over Raven with his arms raised above his head. Naruto pulled out the violet kunai he had and threw it at the ground in front of Raven. She was surprised by the kunai and so was the mammoth looking guy. Naruto sank into the ground and the next thing everyone knew, the mammoth looking villain was buried in the ground up to his neck unable to get free.

"I recognize this kunai." Raven said as she picked it up and saw her name on it

"Well that was fun." Naruto said as he rose from the ground

"Where did you get this?" Raven asked as her eyes went white and objects rose around her freeing her teammates

"It was a gift." Naruto said still not looking at her

"Who are you?" Raven asked

"You don't recognize me?" Naruto asked

"I've never met you before in my life. Turn around slowly and I won't crush you." Raven said

"Fine. Your wish is my command...Raven." Naruto said as he turned around

"No way." Raven whispered as her powers cut off and everything fell

"Raven, you know him?" The traffic light asked

"I gave this kunai to the only person I could call a friend before I met you guys." Raven said

"Well, who is he?" The green guy asked

"How did you get here?" Raven asked

"That kunai. I left my dimension in a portal and that kunai guided me here. It has your powers in it so it reacted to my portal." Naruto said

"Where's the person I gave this to?" Raven asked

"You're looking at him." Naruto said

"Then what happened the day I gave this to him?" Raven asked

"You found a little boy beaten up and bleeding in an alley after a mob of villagers tried to kill him. You ran and got help from two people named Itachi and Shisui. I told you it was my birthday and you came to the party with your mother. That's when you gave me the kunai. It was a birthday gift." Naruto said

"Is it really you?" Raven asked

"Yup. Now why does your friend dress like a human traffic light?" Naruto asked

"I do not dress like a traffic light. I'm Robin." The apparent leader said

"I'm Starfire. It is most delightful to meet a friend of Raven." The orange skin girl said

"I'm Cyborg." Cyborg said

"I'm the one and only beast boy. The most awesomest member of the Teen Titans." The green one said

"I'm Naruto. So who are those three?" Naruto asked

"They're names are Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth. They're a part of an organization called hive. We just stopped them earlier in the day and they're already out. My question is why are they after these paintings?" Robin asked

"These paintings are worth a lot of money. It's mainly because of the eyes on the painting. When you look at them from different angles, the eyes start to change and it can hypnotize a person, figuratively speaking." Naruto said

"How do you know?" Cyborg asked

"I made the picture. It says made by Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said pointing to the sign

"But your eyes do not do the changing when I look at a different angle." Starfire said floating around him

"That's because my eyes aren't activated. When I do activate them, they look like this." Naruto said and activated his sharingan

"Woah. That's so cool." Beast boy said

"They don't look like the pair of eyes you have in the painting." Cyborg said

"That's because I'm at the basic level. This is what you're talking about." Naruto said and activated his Mangekyou sharingan

"What do they do?" Robin asked

"A lot. I can kill somebody by eye contact if I want to. I can also control someone's reality for three days in what you would call a dream, but only three seconds in the real world. I can see things in slow motion giving me time to react and counter. I have a couple more moves that can only be used by this version of the sharingan." Naruto said

"I doubt that you can control someone's reality for three days in some kind of dream and have it only last 3 seconds in the real world." Cyborg said

"He's telling the truth." Raven said

"How do you know?" Robin asked

"Because I was in his dimension when I was 5 with my mom. When I found him the two people I met were talking about something called the sharingan and something called a genjutsu that lasts 3 seconds in the real world, but 3 days in the genjutsu." Raven said

"What do you mainly use it for then?" Robin asked

"To torture people if they don't give me answers." Naruto said

"That does not sound most pleasant." Starfire said

"That's because it isn't." Naruto said

"So are you a good guy or a bad guy?" Beast boy asked

"Well, right now I should be a bad guy because not one, but two groups of idiots blasted a hole in the wall instead of using the DAMN DOOR. THATS COMING OUT OF MY PAYCHECK." Naruto yelled releasing some chakra causing the building to shake

"It was Cyborg!" Beast boy said quickly

"Well, he better have 5 grand because I'm not paying for this. It's bad enough some idiot with a metal mask on that's two different colors tried to steal this painting and did the exact same thing." Naruto said

"What did the mask look like?" Robin asked

"The left side was orange with a single black outlined eyehole, while the right is solid black with no eyehole." Naruto said

"Slade." Robin said

"Who's he?" Naruto asked

"An evil mastermind that keeps getting away. I'll find him one day and put him away for good." Robin said

"So, where do you stay?" Beast boy asked as the police showed up and took away Mammoth, Gizmo and Jinx

"I have a small apartment." Naruto said

"How about joining the Teen Titans?" Cyborg asked

"What do I get out of it?" Naruto asked

"You get an awesome new room. No rent since you'll stay in the Titans tower. Plus state of the art training equipment." Cyborg said

"Don't forget the video games and movies. Plus you get to beat up all of the bad guys you want." Beast boy said

"What about guests?" Naruto asked

"Depends, are they good people?" Robin asked

"Yeah. It's my mom and baby sister." Naruto said

"That's it?" Cyborg asked

"There's a few more, but I doubt they'd come. They are traveling from a different dimension." Naruto said

"Well, Robin is the leader. It's up to him." Beast boy said

"What exactly did you do in your dimension?" Robin asked

"I'm a ninja. Go on missions. Kill people. Capture people. Nothing major." Naruto said

"That seems like it is the major." Starfire said

"It's how that world is. It was either that or I stay the village punching bag my entire life." Naruto said

"So you became a killer." Robin stated

"No. I learned how to protect myself. I've been hated by my entire village back where I'm from because of something out of my control. By the time I was 8, I already had over a hundred assassination attempts from people in my own village. If I had to kill them to survive then oh well." Naruto said and the entire world around them changed

"What's going on?!" Beast boy asked

"I'm showing you what my life was like growing up. You seem to think I just go around killing for no reason. Well you can see for yourself." Naruto said

Naruto used his sharingan and put them all inside of a genjutsu. It showed everything from his early life up until he left his dimension and arrived in jump city. He showed them the training with Itachi and Shisui. The fight against the ROOT anbu when they were after Shisui. He showed them the good parts as well like meeting Anko and Kurenai. Bonding with his mother, sparring with TenTen and learning from Shizune. What nobody but him and Raven knew, was that he didn't show the part where Raven kissed him on the cheek in the alley and when she did it again at the birthday party. The genjutsu ended and everyone just looked at him.

"There's no way he could've lived all of that and survived." Cyborg thought

"Dude. That's horrible." Beast boy thought

"Maybe I should give him the hugs." Starfire thought

"He has the ability to do all of this stuff, but he only killed if he absolutely had to." Robin thought

"He didn't show what we did both times we saw each other that day." Raven thought

"The offer still stands if you want to join us. However, try not to kill anyone." Robin said

"I think I just may take you up on that offer." Naruto said looking at Raven and then a puff of smoke went off revealing a small black falcon

"What's up?" Naruto asked

"Message from lady Kushina. She says it's urgent." The falcon said

"Thanks." Naruto said and pulled out another scroll giving it to him

"Is this what I think it is?" The falcon asked

"Sure is. Just don't eat them all at once." Naruto said and the falcon nodded before going up in smoke

"What's with the scroll?" Robin asked

"It's how me and my mom stay in contact." Naruto said as he read the scroll and sighed before summoning a different bird to give his reply to

"Meet us at the titan tower tomorrow morning. We'll give you the rundown of everything." Robin said

"Alright. You still need to pay for the wall though." Naruto said and Cyborg transferred money to the museum

"It's done." Cyborg said

"We'll see you in the morning." Robin said as they left except Raven

"Why didn't you show them what really happened between us?" Raven asked

"I figured since you've got the whole dark and gloomy look going on that you wouldn't want that to be seen by them." Naruto said

"If you know what I've been through you would understand why I'm like this." Raven said

"Does it have anything to do about a prophecy?" Naruto asked and Raven's eyes went wide

"How do you know about that?" Raven whispered

"I don't. I kept having dreams about it and since your mom wouldn't give me answers, I figured that I should come and ask you." Naruto said

"We need to talk in private." Raven said

"Okay." Naruto said and he placed a hand on her shoulder making them both flash away

Naruto's apartment

"What was that?" Raven asked as she looked around is house

"Hiraishin. It's a space-time technique. Want anything to drink?" Naruto asked

"Herbal tea." Raven said and he made a clone to make the tea

"It'll be ready shortly." Naruto said

"Thank you. Now, what did you see in your dreams exactly?" Raven asked

"I don't really know. It was destruction everywhere. All I kept hearing was that the portal will open and the prophecy will be fulfilled. I saw 4 red eyes and that's when the dream ended. I asked your mother about it and she wouldn't give me a straight answer. I've been looking for you for almost three years so I can get answers. That and it's always nice to see a friend after a while." Naruto said and Raven smiled a bit

"On my 16th birthday, I'm supposed to fulfil a prophecy and let my father return to destroy the world. It's fated to happen and I can't stop him. He's too powerful and if he didn't need me to return then we'd all be dead right now." Raven said as the clone gave her some tea

"So we have plenty of time before the prophecy begins since you recently turned 15. That's more than enough time to get strong enough to stop it. Exactly how strong is your father?" Naruto asked

"Are you crazy? You can't stop him. He's bigger than the titan tower and he can take away my powers. He's too powerful." Raven said

"Raven, nobody is unstoppable. Everyone can be stopped. A person like your father will most likely be arrogant since he believes he is too strong to be stopped. His arrogance will be his downfall. The portal may open, but the prophecy will not be fulfilled." Naruto said

"You make it sound so easy." Raven said

"It won't be easy. There will come a point in life where you will have to make a decision. Your day is approaching already. Would you rather sit back and watch as the world ends like a helpless puppy or would you rather go out fighting, knowing you did absolutely everything you could?" Naruto asked

"Well, what if I'm just a person who knows it's pointless. Maybe that's the kind of person I am. We can't fight death it's inevitable. It's the nature of who I am and what I'll die as." Raven said

"Not true. No matter who you are you do not know what kind of person you've become until you've reached the very end. One realizes ones true nature at the moment of death." Naruto said

"That's deep." Raven said

"I got it from my teacher." Naruto said

"Smart man. I have a question." Raven said

"Ask away." Naruto replied

"Your eyes aren't full anymore. They were bright with life the first time we met. I know you aren't sad or anything because I can feel your emotions. What's going on? Why do they seem to be fading?" Raven asked and Naruto sighed

"Obviously I can't lie to you so I'll be honest. I'm going blind. When I use my Mangekyou sharingan my eyesight deteriorates. I've been practicing with it for the past nearly three years so my eyesight is pretty bad." Naruto said

"How bad?" Raven asked

"I have maybe 45 percent of my eyesight left." Naruto said

"Maybe I can help. I can get a spell to reverse the effects." Raven said

"Thanks, but I don't need it." Naruto said

"You're going blind! What do you mean you don't need it?!" Raven asked losing control of her emotions for a second

"What I mean is, I already know how to stop the blindness. It's just not time yet." Naruto said

"How do you stop it?" Raven asked

"I need to get an eye transplant. I have the eyes ready it's just not time to transplant them yet. Can you do it for me?" Naruto asked

"I don't know how." Raven said

"I'll give you the instructions and your powers are almost similar to mine so you're the only person that can do it. That stone on your forehead is a chakra gem, isn't it?" Naruto asked

"How did you know?" Raven asked

"I can feel how similar it's power feels to my chakra. The way it feels is as if it's trapping something." Naruto said

"It's keeping my inner demon locked away. If the gem is broken then my demon will be released and it can be absorbed by other demons like my father." Raven said

"What happens if you lose your inner demon?" Naruto asked

"Then I will turn into a full blooded human. It's a chance that I'll lose my powers as well, but it's a slim chance." Raven said

"Is it possible for you to seperate yourself from your inner demon?" Naruto asked

"I don't think so. I can't really control it so I never let it out." Raven said

"So you have to keep your emotions in check? You suppress them to control your inner demon and powers." Naruto said

"Yes. My powers rely on my emotions. The greater the emotion I feel, the more energy I release." Raven said

"What are you feeling now?" Naruto asked and she blushed

"Happiness. Passion. Bravery." Raven said

"Is it because I'm here?" Naruto asked

"Yeah. I felt this way every time I thought about you and even the first time I saw you. I'm happy you're here." Raven said

"Me too." Naruto said

They gave each other a hug that lasted a few minutes and they both knew this hug was way overdue. Raven pulled back from the hug and had a noticeable blush on her face since she wasn't one to show her emotions. She leaned in, gave him a kiss right on the lips and when she was about to pull away, he grabbed her face and returned the kiss.

Next morning

Raven woke up early and the first thing she noticed was that she wasn't in her room. Originally she started to panic, but then she recognized the room she was in. She sighed and laid back down to get some more sleep before her eyes snapped open after she remembered what happened last night. She lifted up the covers and sure enough she was completely naked.

She stood up and couldn't help but hiss in pain as that was her first time last night. She couldn't remember exactly how many times they did it, but she knows it was more than 4 times. That caused her to blush and smile a bit. She heard the door start to open and then wrapped the covers around her naked body. The door opened revealing Naruto with a tray of food. She looked at him and all he had on was a pair of sweatpants and socks. She barely heard what he was saying as she was too busy staring at his upper body.

"I was just coming to wake you up." Naruto said

"Huh? Oh. Uh. I just woke up." Raven said shyly

"I wouldn't have guessed you'd be an early bird. I thought you slept until maybe 11 or 12." Naruto said as he sat on the bed

"No. I'm always up early. I'm guessing being a ninja is why you always wake up early." Raven said as she sat down

"Yeah. I'd be up and ready by 5 in the morning." Naruto said

"Can I ask you something?" Raven asked

"Sure." Naruto said as he looked at her

"His eyes are getting worse." Raven thought

"Did we really um, you know, last night?" Raven asked embarrassed

"Yeah, we did. I did make sure it was okay with you before we went any further than kissing. I didn't want to take advantage of you or anything. Is there something wrong?" Naruto asked

"No! Well, yes. Kind of." Raven said

"What's the problem?" Naruto asked

"It's just that it was my first time." Raven whispered

"I know. It was my first time as well." Naruto said

"Really? I thought since you were a ninja that you were technically an adult and could legally do that." Raven said feeling better

"That is true and I've gotten plenty of offers. I just turned them all down." Naruto said

"Why?" Raven asked as she started eating

"Well, I'd prefer it if I was with somebody that wanted me for me. I may have been the outcast of my family, but I still was the heir of the Uzumaki clan and every girl that offered was just after money and fame." Naruto said

"I thought your sister was the heir to the Uzumaki clan." Raven said

"No. I wasn't dead, we never fought for the title of clan heir and I never gave up the title. Until either of that happens, I'm still the Uzumaki clan heir." Naruto said

"So that means you're going back to your home." Raven said

"No. I'll give Narumi the seat, but my mom wants me to wait. She says Narumi isn't ready yet. Do you want me to go back?" Naruto asked

"No. It's nice having an actual friend around." Raven said

"Aren't the Titans your friends?" Naruto asked and she sighed

"Kind of. I'm closed off from them and spend my time in my room doing meditation or reading books." Raven said

"What do you read?" Naruto asked

"Spellbooks and a book about the monks of Azarath." Raven said

"So, what do you like? Well, besides waffles." Naruto said pointing at both of their empty plates

"Sorry." Raven said embarrassed that she just ate his food

"It's alright. Tell me your likes and dislikes. I don't have anything planned today." Naruto said

"Well, I like reading, meditating, herbal tea and chess. Dislikes well my father for one, anybody who goes in my room, Beast boys jokes, dresses, arguments and immature people." Raven said

"That's quite the list. Do you use some spells while you fight?" Naruto asked

"Sometimes, yeah. I need time to gather enough energy for them, but when I use them they actually work." Raven said

"Then you should practice on making them quicker to use like I did." Naruto said

"What do you mean like you did?" Raven asked

"Well, the jutsus that we do where I'm from require hand signs in order for them to work." Naruto said

"What do the hand signs do?" Raven asked

"They are supposed to help you concentrate chakra in order to perform your jutsu. I don't need hand signs for any of my jutsus because I practiced on getting the jutsu to work without them so now I can do them all in an instant. Like this." Naruto said and created his lightning edge

"What's that?" Raven asked

"This is my lightning edge. It's the perfect assassination move because it makes no noise and it's a one hitter quitter. This on the other hand was also known as the best assassination move." Naruto said and created the Chidori and Raven covered her ears

"Turn it off!" Raven said

"Sorry." Naruto said and deactivated the Chidori

"Whoever made that shouldn't call it an assassination move. You can hear that thing 10 miles away. It sounds like thousands of birds chirping." Raven said

"Exactly. That's why I always used my lightning edge if I needed a sure kill move." Naruto said

"What do you like and dislike? I realized you haven't told me." Raven said

"Like and dislikes? I like meditating, pizza, training, my mom, Kurenai, Anko, Sakura, Shizune, TenTen, chess and I've recently started to like video games. Like you I dislike people who go in my room, rapists, my father, Narumi, Jiraiya, Tsunade and I don't like jeans." Naruto said

"Why don't you like jeans?" Raven asked

"Everytime I wear them they start to rub the inside of my thigh leaving a rash or something making it uncomfortable to walk. That's why my closet is filled with cargo pants and shorts." Naruto said

"That's a good reason. Why do you meditate?" Raven asked

"Same reason you do. To control my emotions. I do it sometimes to gather nature energy if I'm practicing sage mode." Naruto said

"I've heard of that from my mom. Isn't it like a power boost or something like that?" Raven asked

"Basically. Since I've become a sage, I've essentially become one with nature. The only thing is that it takes me 5 minutes to enter sage mode. It used to take me 15 minutes, but I've gotten the time down." Naruto said

"I wouldn't do that around beast boy. His genetics might cause him to go crazy if he's able to sense it." Raven said

"I know. I was almost raped by a female bear in the woods once." Naruto said causing Raven to giggle but then she stopped and glared at Naruto

"You tell anybody I just did that and you're dead." Raven said

"Your secrets are safe with me. I have a question. When you fight, why do you always pick up stuff with your powers and throw it? Can't you throw energy blasts like Starfire or use your powers to create something like a huge hammer to hit somebody with?" Naruto asked and Raven just looked at him

"I can throw energy blasts like Starfire, but I've never tried to make a weapon or anything with my powers. Can you do that?" Raven asked

"I can't shoot energy blasts, but I can change the shape and nature of my chakra." Naruto said and showed her the rasengan, lightning javelin and lightning hammer

"Is lightning all you can do?" Raven asked

"No. I can use fire, lightning, wind and water. It's just that most of my attacks with lighting require the change I shape. The way your powers work are exactly like the Nara clan where I'm from, just on a more advanced level." Naruto said

"How so?" Raven asked

"They use shadows as well. Their techniques are all based on shadows, which requires a yin chakra nature. If I give you a book on the yin chakra nature do you think it would help you?" Naruto asked

"It's possible. My powers are like theirs on a more advanced level. If you have anything on the Nara clan I'd like to read that as well." Raven said

"Sure. No problem." Naruto said and unsealed two large books

"Are you really going to join the Teen Titans?" Raven asked

"I guess. It's not like I have anything else to do. Any specific rules I need to know?" Naruto asked

"Beast boy doesn't eat meat and might have you try tofu. He thinks he's funny and tells lame jokes. Robin is always serious and may be suspicious of you for sometime. Cyborg is the mechanic and tech guy so if anything fails, he's the guy to fix it. Beast boy and Cyborg play video games everyday and are loud. Starfire is still learning how to function on this planet and she eats weird food like marshmallows covered in ketchup or something. Then there's me, I don't like people in my room." Raven said

"What about me?" Naruto asked

"I'll think about it. My room always has somebody at the door trying to get in so I don't know how you're going to get in it." Raven said and Naruto gave her a tri-pronged kunai

"Why'd you give me this?" Raven asked

"If you ever need me, just channel some of your power into the kunai and I'll be by your side instantly." Naruto said

"Ok. We also have dish duty. Each person has a week to do the dishes and the weeks rotate. You're responsible for your own room and laundry. Grocery shopping is usually a hassle because of our fame and because Beast boy and Cyborg argue over getting tofu." Raven said

"Why?" Naruto asked

"Because Cyborg doesn't want tofu in the freezer with the other meat. He thinks it will contaminate the meat and ruin it." Raven said

"Then tell him to get a seperate freezer. That way they won't argue anymore and you won't be annoyed anymore." Naruto said

"I'll do that. What time is it?" Raven asked

"2 pm." Naruto said

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Raven said

"Well, we were talking and having a really nice conversation. That and the cover fell off of you so I was enjoying the view." Naruto said

This caused Raven to look down and sure enough the cover did indeed fall off showing her naked body. She quickly grabbed the covers and wrapped them around her again this time holding onto them.

"I need to go." Raven said and got up

"You can use my shower. I washed your clothes while you were sleeping." Naruto said

"Thank you." Raven said and walked to the bathroom while grabbing her clothes

"If it helps, I think you're beautiful underneath that blanket." Naruto said and Raven had an atomic blush on her face as she closed the bathroom door.

"Yo, Naruto." An eagle said as it appeared in his room

"What's up Yoshi?" Naruto asked

"Your mother is waiting for you to open the portal. She's coming with Mito and Kurenai." Yoshi said

"Shit. I forgot she was coming today. Tell her to give me about an hour." Naruto said

"You got it." Yoshi said and disappeared as Raven came out of the bathroom looking pale

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked

"Did we use any protection?" Raven asked

"We didn't have any, but I told you about the contraceptive jutsu and let you read the scroll for it. We used that and it works better than any condom they sell." Naruto said as Raven let out a sigh of relief

"Good. What time are you coming to Titan tower?" Raven asked

"Give me two hours. My mom is coming with my baby sister and Kurenai. I have to show them around jump city a bit and then I'll be over there." Naruto said

"I'll let them know." Raven said and sunk into her shadow leaving

"Ok Naruto. You have an hour to get everything situated before they get here." Naruto thought

He created 5 shadow clones and had all of them clean the house while he went grocery shopping. He needed to get this done fast so he used the Hiraishin to get to the closest market. He quickly bought everything he needed from meats all the way down to a new toothbrush. He went home and after putting everything away. He released his shadow clones and everything was clean.

He activated his Mangekyou sharingan and used his Dimenshonpōtaru. He watched as the portal opened and after a few seconds Kushina, Mito and Kurenai were in his house. Before he could speak he was crushed in a group hug by Kurenai and Kushina. Mito was sleeping in a baby carrier so she didn't see him yet.

"It's so good to see you." Kurenai said

"I missed you. Have you been eating well? Do you sleep enough? Where's Raven? Did you find her yet?" Kushina rambled on

"I know. It's nice to see you all as well. As for your questions. Yes I've been eating well. I sleep after work. Raven is at the Titans tower. Don't ask I'll explain what that is later." Naruto said

"Work? You have a job?" Kurenai asked

"Yeah. I thought I told you." Naruto said

"Oops. I forgot to mention that." Kushina said

"Where do you work?" Kurenai asked

"At an art gallery. I'm about to quit though." Naruto said

"Why?" Kushina asked

"I was offered a job with the Teen Titans." Naruto said

"The what?" Kurenai asked

"The Teen Titans. They're like this group of teenage superheroes that go around stopping villains. They want me to join so I decided to take them up on their offer." Naruto said

"When do you go?" Kushina asked

"I told Raven I would be there in two hours." Naruto said

"How long ago was that?" Kushina asked

"An hour ago. So what's been going on?" Naruto asked

"Well, I'm retired from being a ninja now. Haku and Tayuya are an item. TenTen started dating Neji. Sakura is still Tsunade's apprentice. Sasuke left the village to join Orochimaru. Narumi was trained by Jiraiya and is almost ready to become clan heir. Anko is still with Iruka. Shizune is officially with Genma. Karin cried for weeks after you left and it took Tayuya slapping her for over an hour to make her stop crying. Honoka is dating Aoba. Minato...Minato died a few months ago. He was fighting a disease he didn't know about and Tsunade found an untraceable poison in his system during the autopsy." Kushina said

"It was Danzo." Naruto said

"I know. We just can't do anything because of the poison being untraceable. Tsunade and Jiraiya are back together. Again. They have this weird on and off again thing." Kushina said

"Don't worry about Danzo. He'll get his eventually." Naruto said

"Oh yeah. Kabuto Yakushi is somehow fully alive again." Kushina said

"How?" Naruto asked

"I don't know. Jiraiya is close to finding out how and he'll report it to Tsunade." Kushina said

"Ok. What about you, Kurenai? Anything new?" Naruto asked

"Well, Hinata is obsessed with you still and keeps searching for you. Kiba almost got himself killed on a mission and is currently serving a 6 month suspension since he went against orders on an A rank mission. Shino is still the same. Me and Asuma are together still as you know and we're also expecting a child in 9 months." Kurenai said

"WHAT?" Kushina yelled and almost woke up Mito

"It was a surprise. Do not tell anyone. We want to keep it a secret." Kurenai said

"Congratulations. This is so awesome! What do you want? A boy or a girl?" Kushina asked

"Asuma wants a boy, but I think it'll be a girl." Kurenai said

"Just make sure when you're breastfeeding that she doesn't bite the nipple. It hurts." Kushina said

"Thanks for the heads up." Kurenai said

"You're welcome. So, Naruto. Any girls in your life? Have you settled down yet?" Kushina asked

"Don't know. I mean I was with Raven till she left 2 hours ago." Naruto said

"Ooooh did she stay overnight?" Kushina asked

"Yeah she stayed overnight." Naruto said

"What did you guys do?" Kurenai asked

"We talked. Then did what got you pregnant." Naruto said

"Did you use protection?" Kurenai asked

"Yes. I used the contraception jutsu on her. She's on the Teen Titans so we'll see her later." Naruto said

"I can't wait to meet her. Again." Kushina said

"You've met her before?" Kurenai asked

"Once. It was when me and Naruto didn't have the best relationship." Kushina said

"What's she like?" Kurenai asked

"She is quiet, troubled, brooding, grim, moody, seemingly emotionless, intelligent, studious, and sarcastic." Naruto said

"So she's emo." Kushina said

"Yes, but it's to keep her emotions in check. She has an inner demon so she has to keep calm at all times. Emotions like rage and hate will cause the demon to be released. She grew up learning how to surpress all of her emotions." Naruto said

"Even the good emotions?" Kushina asked

"Yeah. She was perfectly normal with me last night and today. I think I'm the only person she's shown these emotions to though." Naruto said

"Well, atleast she's not an emo just because. Now, I need to get some of that pizza stuff you gave me last time. Kurenai has to try it so get your car thingy and let's go." Kushina said

"Fine. I'll get the pizza." Naruto said and grabbed his car keys

"Make sure to put extra meat on it." Kushina said

"I know. I know." Naruto said

"Is it really that good?" Kurenai asked

"Yes! Now let's go! We're only here for a few hours!" Kushina said

Titan Tower

"That was some good pizza." Kushina said as they arrived at the Titan Tower

"It really was. I'm surprised they didn't flinch after you told them you were from a different universe." Kurenai said

"They see people with special powers all the time so it's not much of a shocker. They even gave you the recipes they use to take with you." Naruto said

"I know. Little Mito enjoyed it as well." Kushina said tickling her stomach making her giggle

"So how do we let them know that we're here?" Kurenai asked

"Like this." Naruto said

He created a rasengan and used it to blast the doors open, sounding the alarm. Kushina and Mito laughed while Kurenai just sweatdropped at this. In a matter of moments they were surrounded by 6 people.

"Oh, it's just Naruto." Beast boy said

"Why'd you blow up the doors?" Cyborg asked

"Payback. Who's the blonde?" Naruto asked

"This is Tera. We were about to test her and see if she can join the group." Robin said

"Who are these people? Are they what we call the friends?" Starfire asked

"No. This is mom Kushina. Kurenai, my older sister and Mito, my baby sister." Naruto said

"Nice to meet you." Kushina and Kurenai said

"Same here." The Titans said all the same time

"So. Are you here for your test as well?" Robin asked

"Yeah. I might as well get this over with." Naruto said

"Hey, after your test let's spar." Kushina said

"I don't know. We just met and I'm not sure I'd want to hit Naruto's mother." Robin said

"I wasn't talking about you. It wouldn't be fair if I beat you. I'm talking about Naruto." Kushina said and Beast boy laughed

"Dude! She just called you weak!" Beast boy said still laughing

"We heard. I'm not weak." Robin said

"I'm not saying you're weak, but my skills are way beyond your level." Kushina said

"So why do you want to spar with Naruto?" Cyborg asked

"Yeah. They're about the same age." Beast boy said

"They may be the same age, but Naruto is stronger than him." Kurenai said

"I'll have to see for myself." Robin said

"You shouldn't challenge him." Raven said speaking up for the first time

"Why not?" Robin asked

"Because I can sense that he has a lot of power in him. He's more skilled than all of us combined." Raven said

"We'll see about that. Let's go to the testing area." Robin said

Testing area

They went to the testing area and it was just an obstacle course. Kushina and Kurenai had to surpress a laugh that almost came out, while Naruto just raised an eyebrow. Cyborg went first and after doing the entire course he checked his timer and saw 2:17.

"Booyah! New course record!" Cyborg said

"Well, yeah. You're the first one to do the course." Raven said

"Ok Tera. Ready to show us what you can do?" Robin asked and she nodded while getting ready

"I just hope you're ready to see it." She said quietly, but Beast boy heard her

"You can do it. Besides, it's just practice really. It doesn't matter if you mess up. Not that you're gonna mess up, but I'm just saying that even blow it..." Beast boy stopped talking when Tera just looked at him

"Shutting up now." Beast boy said

"Countdown initiated. Good luck Tera." Robin said

"I have a feeling this isn't going to go so well." Naruto thought

He was right. Although Tera did complete the course, it was completely obvious that she couldn't control her powers. She destroyed everything with her control over the earth and nearly died a few times. She finished the course and Beast boy, Cyborg and Starfire all cheered for her.

"You rocked." Beast boy said

"Magnificent success." Starfire said

"Looks like we have a new course record." Raven said as the time read 1:56

"I must've softened it up for her." Cyborg said with a shrug

"You were awesome!" Beast boy said and Tera gave him a hug

"I did it. You said I could do it and I did it." Tera whispered before ending the hug and Beast boy passed out

"A little rough around the edges, but you've got some real talent there." Robin said

"You think?" Tera asked

"With a little training you could.." Robin stopped as all of their communicators started blinking even Naruto's and they all went into the tower

"Slade. He's back." Robin said

"Slade?" Tera asked

"Guy. Way bad." Beast Boy said

"I got a fix on him. Titans, move out." Robin said

"Uh, what about Naruto's test?" Kurenai asked

"I guess his test will be a little bit different." Raven said as they started to leave

"Do you remember where I live?" Naruto asked Kushina

"Yeah." Kushina said

"Go there and I'll see you three later." Naruto said and gave her his keys to the apartment

"Okay. Be careful." Kushina said and vanished with Kurenai

"Whoa." Beast boy said

Slade's location

Workers were walking around doing construction when suddenly a blast was seen causing an explosion. There was was worker that yelled out to protect the diamond, but then another blast went off and some of the workers were injured. Multiple robots that worked for Slade dropped down and began firing off more shots at the workers, but then their blasters were knocked out of their hands.

"Tell your boss we'd like a word with him. TITANS GO." Robin yelled and they all sprang into action

"You boys ready to rock?" Tera asked

"He's here." Naruto thought and ran off

Naruto

"So. You've finally found me." Slade said

"It's not hard. Are you going to run away this time?" Naruto asked

"Running away from a child is disgraceful." Slade said

"Funny. I remember you running away last time. What are you after? This plan of yours to attack a random construction site is merely a decoy for what you're really after." Naruto said

"Your guess is correct. However, I am not going to reveal my plans to you that easily. It's a shame really. You have more potential than Robin. I can tell you have a darkness in your heart the same as he does." Slade said

"My darkness comes from me having power. I can easily get rid of it, but I'm not ready yet. Robin's darkness is from something else and I don't care for what it is." Naruto said

"Darkness is darkness no matter how you put it. It just takes the right push to have somebody embrace it. Robin has already embraced his hatred not too long ago when he became my apprentice. Of course he betrayed me in the end, but he can't deny that he liked the feeling of being on the opposite side for once." Slade said

"Why are you so obsessed with Robin?" Naruto asked

"As I've said before, he has potential. I want him to be my apprentice and my servant. He has what it takes to become my successor. Of course now that you're here, I'll have to change those plans a bit. You have far more potential than he does and I can tell you haven't even shown the full extent of your abilities. You hide very well and are only seen when you want to be seen. I need more data on your abilities before I make my move." Slade said

"Then how about you fight me again? I'd be happy to give you a personal lesson." Naruto said

"There's no need to rush. I have important matters to deal with now." Slade said and turned to leave

"So you're running away again." Naruto said

"Think of it as a tactical retreat. I won't leave you disappointed though." Slade said

He quickly ran away and pressed a button that he had hidden in his sleeve. Naruto heard beeping and as he looked around, there was a bomb on the roof of the cave right above him. He quickly vanished and barely made it out before the bomb went off and collapsed the area he was previously in.

Soon the entire cave started to shake for a few moments, but then it suddenly stopped. Naruto knew that it was Tera and was Beast Boy who stopped Tera from losing control. Naruto met up with the Teen Titans and after sharing a look with Raven who noticed he ran off, they all went back to the Titan Tower and Tera quickly packed her bag and decided to leave.

"Well, guys. It's been real. Seriously. Thanks for everything, but I should."

"Don't even think about it." Cyborg said

"Okay. What's going on?" Tera asked

"Well." Raven said

"We talked it over." Cyborg said

"We wish for you to stay here. With us." Starfire said jumping up and down

"We think you'd make a great addition to our team." Raven said

"Soo. Do you wanna be a Titan?" Beast boy asked as Robin held out a communicator to her

"Me? Really?" Tera asked

"Of course you'd need more training. I know you have trouble controlling your powers and we can help." Robin said and Tera dropped her communicator

"You told him?!" Tera asked Beast boy

"I didn't." Beast boy said waving his hands

"You promised! You lied to me! You lied!" Tera said and ran out of the tower

"Tera no! Wait!" Beast boy said as her ran after her and Robin followed him

"It was obvious she couldn't control her powers from the start. I noticed during her chance on the obstacle course. She nearly killed herself while doing it." Naruto said

"Speaking of that. You didn't get your chance to have a test." Cyborg said

"It's no need. If I wasn't going to be a Titan, then Robin wouldn't have given me a communicator. If he looks for me, I'll be back at my place. I need to send my guests home." Naruto said and flashed away

Naruto's apartment

"Sorry I'm late." Naruto said

"It's okay. Your mother figured out how to order pizza and used some of your money you have laying around." Kurenai said

"I was hungry and he was taking too long. I wish we could've spent more time together, but I understand that you had something to do. Next time, let's do something together." Kushina said

"We'll have to wait a bit for that. They're hunting the tailed beasts now and from what you told me, they already have the one tailed beast." Naruto said

"They do. I need to make sure Narumi gets properly trained." Kushina said

"I thought Jiraiya took her on a training trip for 2 and a half years." Naruto said

"He did. He spent the entire time giving her brief taijutsu lessons and a crash course in genjutsu. The entire trip was him trying to have her access more than three tails of the nine tails chakra which failed and almost got him killed. She said he spent more time in brothel houses than actually training her. He did teach her life lessons that she'll be grateful for, but life lessons won't help her against the akatsuki. I've taken over her training now and I am helping her. She left as strong as a mid-high chunin and came back the same. She should've been stronger than Kakashi when she came back but she wasn't." Kushina said

"What's going on with the Sasuke situation?" Naruto asked

"He's been listen in the bingo book with a capture or kill on sight order. Tsunade listed him originally as kill on sight, but the elders and Danzo were getting on her nerves so she added capture for a bigger payout. She did say that if he attacked the leaf village or any of it's ninjas that she would kill him herself. What I don't understand is, why would he leave the village and go to Orochimaru?" Kurenai asked

"For power. He wants to unlock his Mangekyou Sharingan and kill Itachi. It's impossible for him to unlock it because he's alienated himself from everybody around him so he doesn't have any bonds with anyone. If he somehow does unlock his Mangekyou Sharingan, you should watch out for the Amaterasu. They're black flames that can only be put out by the user of the jutsu. Only tell Tsunade this in secret." Naruto said

"I will. Anything else?" Kushina asked

"Sasuke will attack Konoha eventually. He's thirsty for power and will do anything to obtain it. I'd tell that old hag to start training. If Sasuke's with Orochimaru then I'm sure they will use any kind of enhancement drugs to speed up his growth. I know for a fact that he's possibly as strong as or stronger than Kakashi right now, so be ready for anything." Naruto said

"Why are you so helpful?" Kurenai asked

"Because I still have people I care about in Konoha." Naruto said

"Alright. Let's get going Kurenai. Naruto, take care of yourself." Kushina said and gave him a hug

"I will. Make sure you keep Kurenai safe. She does have my little brother or sister inside of her." Naruto said

"I'll be fine. Take care of yourself and tell Raven it was nice talking to her." Kurenai said and gave him a hug

"I will." Naruto said

He activated his Mangekyou sharingan and opens the portal for them to leave. Kushina grabbed Mito who was sleeping and got her recipes for pizza and walked into the portal with Kurenai. After closing the portal, Naruto was about to go to sleep when he felt a pull. He sighed and flashed away.

Titans Tower/Ravens room

"Yes, Raven?" Naruto asked as he appeared in her room

"I was just testing out the kunai." Raven said

"You're not telling the whole truth. I'm a sensor as well. What's on your mind?" Naruto asked

"You disappeared during the fight today. Where did you go?" Raven asked

"I went to fight Slade." Naruto said and sat on her bed

"Why?" Raven asked

"Because he was there. His little robot army isn't a threat to me." Naruto said

"He's dangerous. You shouldn't have done that alone." Raven said

"I've fought him before. He ran away last time and he ran away this time. He wants me to embrace the darkness in my heart and join him. He wants to collect more data on my abilities since I barely used them. He's after something else. Him attacking that construction site was a diversion. I think he got what he wanted." Naruto said

"What do you mean?" Raven asked

"Don't you think it's odd that Tera was also gone during the fight? I know she had a shocker with almost crushing beast boy, but she wasn't there anymore until beast boy found her. She probably fought Slade and she's who he was after. I'm not saying I'm right, but it's a hunch." Naruto said

"She said she was lost." Raven said

"How can somebody who has powers that are linked to earth get lost in a cave? She almost collapsed the entire thing when she lost control against Slade." Naruto said

"How do you know it was against Slade?" Raven asked

"Despite her not having control over her powers, his little robot army isn't much of a threat to her. The rest of you were busy taking out his robots and he ran away from me. Beast boy was busy looking for her so that only leaves Slade as the last person she could have been fighting. He's trying to manipulate her to join his side and if she isn't careful then she's going to fall right into his hands. He's manipulative. He'll work silently while still luring her to his side." Naruto said

"I guess so. That's not the only reason I called you here." Raven said

"Raven. For somebody who's all dark and gloomy, I didn't realize how active you were." Naruto said

"What?" Raven asked confused

"I mean it's only been 24 hours since we last did it, but if you want to do it again I don't have a problem with it." Naruto said making her turn red from anger and a blush

"That's not what I was talking about." Raven said gritting her teeth

"I know. What else was it?" Naruto asked

"I need your help." Raven said

"With what?" Naruto asked

"I finally read the books you have on Yin style chakra and it helped me understand my powers more than what I already knew. I need help balancing my powers to create weapons. Can you help me since I know you're good at changing the shape of your chakra?" Raven asked

"Sure. First start off with something small. Try to create a kunai." Naruto said

"That's it?" Raven asked

"Just try it." Naruto said and she tried to make a kunai and it backfired and almost sent her into the wall, but Naruto caught her.

"What happened?" Raven asked

"You overloaded it. This is something completely new to you. Start off with using as little of your powers as possible and then we'll move on to using more. Once you can make a kunai and throw it so it can pierce something you've done it correctly. After that I'll have you move onto something bigger and harder." Naruto said

"You make it seem so easy." Raven said

"I've been doing this for almost 11 years. Of course It's going to be easy for me." Naruto said

"What else can you make other than that javelin and the ball thing?" Raven asked

"I can make chains. A war hammer. A sword. Many things." Naruto said

"Do you think I'll be able to make those?" Raven asked

"Maybe not the chains, but everything else yeah." Naruto said

"You're going to make this hard on me, aren't you?" Raven asked

"You asked for help. I'm helping you." Naruto said

"I said help me. Not kill me." Raven said with a tick mark on her head

"You're the one that overloaded the kunai. I'll admit I could've stopped you, but it wasn't enough power in that to kill you. Besides, I thought with the whole dark and gloomy look that you'd be okay with dying." Naruto said

"Shut. Up." Raven said

"Tell you what. Every Time you get something right, I'll give you one of these." Naruto said and grabbed rRven's face, giving her a kiss on the lips.

"What makes you think I'd want one of those?" Raven asked

"The blush on your face. Raven, it's just me and you. You don't have to hide your good emotions from me. If anything happens, I'll be here to help you." Naruto said

"I don't know if I can. My inner demon will take over. I can't let that happen." Raven said

"Did you forget about last night?" Naruto asked

"How could I not? We did something that wasn't supposed to happen." Raven said

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about you laughing and smiling. Your demon only feeds on your negative emotions. Positive ones push it away." Naruto said

"The others. They'll think something is wrong." Raven said

"Then just show your emotions around me. If it's anger, I'll help you. We can meditate together if that will help you." Naruto said

"I can't. I'm not ready for that." Raven said

"Okay. Let's start your training again." Naruto said

"Okay." Raven said

"I want to show emotion, but I don't think he's strong enough to take on my inner demon if it gets out." Raven thought

"You know I'm strong enough." Naruto said

"How did you know that's what I said?" Raven asked

"I heard you." Naruto said

"I didn't say anything out loud." Raven said

"Then how did I hear you?" Naruto asked

"I don't know." Raven said

"Let's just get started." Naruto said and Raven nodded

Azarath

"Well this is interesting. I didn't think they'd do that so soon." Arella thought

Titans Tower

"Hey, Cyborg." Robin said

"What's up?" Cyborg asked

"Did you see Naruto during our fight at the construction site?" Robin asked

"I thought I did." Cyborg said

"Naruto did the vanishing trick he does when the fighting started. Perhaps he came down with a case of the goosebumps." Starfire said

"No. Where's he at right now?" Robin asked Cyborg

"He said he was going home, but his communicator is showing he's here in Raven's room." Cyborg said

"Why would he be in friend Raven's room?" Starfire asked

"I don't know. It's time to find out." Robin said and they went to Raven's room

Raven's room

"They're coming." Naruto said

"Who?" Raven asked

"The rest of the team except beast boy." Naruto said

"How did they know you're here?" Raven asked

"My communicator. Lie to them." Naruto said and transformed into one of her books as they knocked on the door

"What?" Raven asked

"Naruto's communicator is saying he's in your room. I'd like to talk to him." Robin said

"He's not here." Raven said

"His communicator says otherwise." Cyborg said

"He dropped it at the construction site. I picked it up and I'll give it to him tomorrow." Raven said

"That's the thing. I didn't see him at the site fighting with us." Robin said

"He was there. I saw him run after somebody into the tunnel." Raven said

"Did you see who it was?" Cyborg asked

"No." Raven said

"Friend Raven, perhaps if you aren't too busy, we could eat some ice cream and watch the movies." Starfire said

"No." Raven said and closed the door and Naruto motioned for her to be quiet as he placed a seal on the door. He room started to glow blue until it stopped

"There." Naruto said

"What was that?" Raven asked

"Privacy seal. No sound gets out. Nobody can see inside through the window either." Naruto said

"Nice." Raven said

"Well, get back to work." Naruto said

Raven nodded and got back to work. Naruto was a slave driver. At the littlest slip up, he would make Raven start over again. She knew it would be hard, but not this hard. One things for sure, she would have new abilities to use in a fight. Naruto on the other hand was focused on her chakra gem and noticed it would glow everytime she became frustrated. He had to calm her down a couple of times and then the glow would die down.

"You're too tense." Naruto said

"I'm perfectly calm." Raven said

"If you were calm, the chakra gem on your head wouldn't glow. I want you to meditate." Naruto said

"Why?" Raven asked

"Just do it." Naruto said and Raven started to meditate

"Now, open your hand and feel your powers flowing to your hand. I want you to imagine a kunai and slowly being out your power and shape it into that kunai. You used your powers to change the kunai you gave me as a child, now I want you to make one." Naruto said

He watched as Raven calmed down and relaxed her body. He watched as she started to use her powers to form something in her hand. After almost 2 minutes of concentrating, he saw the kunai start to form in her hand. After another 5 minutes she made a kunai out of her powers and Naruto smiled.

"Open your eyes and look at your hand." Naruto said and she did as told

"I did it." Raven whispered and then the kunai faded away making her frown

"Relax. The only thing that matters is that you made it. Remember the feeling and now make another one." Naruto said and Raven made another kunai in 5 minutes

"Why does it take so long?" Raven asked

"Because it's a new skill. This is something that most jonin can't do where I'm from." Naruto said

"But I made that kunai I have you, remember?" Raven asked

"No. What you did was used your powers to change the color of it and engrave your name on it. I'm thankful for it and I'll keep it forever, but it's not the same as what you're doing now." Naruto said

"Then how do I make this thing quicker?" Raven asked

"Practice. You'll be done with this when you're able to launch it and have it pierce the wall." Naruto said

"Is that even possible?" Raven asked

"Sure it is." Naruto said and threw a kunai that went into the wall

"How good do you think I can be at this?" Raven asked

"Honestly, as good as you want to be. I'm only showing you some stuff that's possible with your powers." Naruto said

"Good." Raven said and nearly fainted, but Naruto caught her

"I guess we can call it a night. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said and got ready to leave

"Wait." Raven said

"Yes?" Naruto asked and Raven gave him a hug

"Thank you. For helping me." She said

"No problem." Naruto said and returned the hug

"I like this." Raven thought as she hugged him tighter

"Me too." Naruto said

"I forgot about that. I need to read some books from Azarath about what's going on. Maybe that will help us." Raven said

"Good idea. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said and gave her a kiss before vanishing

"Okay. I seriously need to know what's going on. I feel something when I'm with him." Raven thought

Naruto heard her thoughts and just chuckled. She suppressed her emotions so much that she didn't even know what love is. He knew for sure that she'd figure it out sooner or later. Right now, all he was focused on was getting some sleep and training again in the morning before going to the tower.
