1 Chapter 1

"It is a peaceful day again in Gotham; I hope we don't have trouble like other cities." A young girl of sixteen muttered in a happy tone as she sat in the café of Gotham University with her best friend.

She had long purplish hair, violet eyes and she had looks that attracted attention and adoration

"Yeah, you are lucky that you weren't here when this place was a cesspool of crime. I still wonder how it happened, everything just became so right, and the criminals are so scared that they don't even enter the city anymore." A red haired girl at the age of nineteen said in a curious tone, she was Barbara Gordon also known as Batgirl

"I am happy that way, I dislike ugly things." Himawari Uzumaki the only child of the Seventh Hokage spoke in a calm manner as she took a sip from her cup of tea

"I am also happy but you should probable get that fixed, your obsessiveness with cleanliness can be really troublesome." Barbara commented as Hima was really over the top with it and reacted with extreme dislike when she was touched by someone or something she presumed dirty or ugly

"I am trying so you don't have to worry, let's not talk about that."

"How are your classes going?" Hima changed the subject and asked as she looked at her friend but just like always she also concentrated on all around her as her father wanted

"Too easy, if some of them didn't require attendance I had probably skipped and we could hang out more." Barbara said in a friendly tone

"What about you?"

"Have you found someone interesting now?" Barbara asked curiously as she had been friends with Hima for 6 months at least and she had never seen the girl show interest in guys or most people

"No one, I do not wish to make father feel lonely. So I don't feel any desire to find someone."

"What about your relationship?" Hima replied and asked in a calm tone as she thought of her father who was obsessed with her well being and was probably keeping watch on her even now

"It ended on a bad note, the asshole cheated on me with some alien." Barbara replied in a controlled tone as she felt anger remembering the scene of Nightwing with Starfire

"Relax and forget. You will find someone better. Do you want to come by my place today?"

"We have known each other for long but I have never invited you in, it makes me feel ungrateful so do you want to?" Hima enquired as she smiled at Barbara

"Of course, I would love to. Though I really I never thought I would go to the worst place in Gotham before but now it is the cleanest and the greenest part of the city. Your father spends a lot helping the neighborhood or is it because his little princess doesn't like to see dirt." Barbara teased

"Nothing like that, father just likes to help." Hima smiled proudly at the mention of her father, just like her father was obsessed with her she was as well though she would deny such charges

"Uzumaki Naruto, The strongest man in the world, having beaten the champions of the world you gained such titles and more but for what reason was it truly to just advertise your dojo." Amanda Walker entered the dojo and spoke as she saw Naruto sitting in the center in a meditative pose

"How can I help you, Amanda?" Naruto asked in an indifferent tone without opening his eyes

"No answer. I suppose only theories about your motive can be made, personally I believe it was to make your daughter proud isn't it."

"The apple of your eyes and what not." Amanda said with a chuckle

"I have asked for your service for long but you continue to decline so I have come for an easy request, train my team. 2 or 3 sessions a week and I will pay you thrice the amount in advance for each month." Amanda offered, she knew the man was very difficult to talk to as he cared not for anything and was living a fulfilling life

"If it means getting rid of your annoying attempts, I accept. Tell them my conditions and if they are injured or anything, it is not responsibility and I do not take kind to anyone who doesn't follow the rules." Naruto said as he got up, his chest was dripping with sweat along with his head

"They will be like loyal puppies so don't worry, I am happy if they even learnt something from you."

"And it is good doing business with you; I hope your daughter is always the happy princess." Amanda said with a smile as she caught the card, on it were the days written for the appointments to his dojo and the contact information

She didn't need it but it was courtesy, Amanda had one look at the widowed man and left as she wondered how such a human was born.

'Both his parents were villagers in a farming village in Japan; he lived most of his time there and decided to move once his wife died. How did he become so strong, the information gathered said he was always physically strong and his muscle mass is abnormal.' Amanda mused as she sat inside her car and drove away

________________________________________

Once again in the café known as Spiral, on the Uzumaki district named after Naruto's name after his generous service to the city, a recurring customer visited but unlike others she was special.

Nora fields the woman of the past that had been frozen in time because of her sickness, who had been brought back to life three years ago when the day of Miracles took place. She had been given a place in Wayne Enterprises as she was stored their previously and had a good life for the upcoming years, when she stumbled upon the café a month ago. She felt warm and safe like never before she thought she knew this feeling from somewhere but she couldn't place the memory.

Her eyes were always attracted to the man, the owner known as Naruto Uzumaki, as he worked here on some days. He had said he enjoyed cooking so he cooked in this small café and not at his restaurants.

'How I would love to see him cook for me, just for me?'

'Why does this man attract me so?'

'Is it his smile or is it his looks or his personality?'

'He has a daughter already would he ever accept me?'

'I will never if I don't try, I have almost died before so I shouldn't hesitate.' Nora concluded as she stared at the man making coffee and got up from her seat with a confident look

"Another woman charmed by Mr. Uzumaki"

"She is going to be shot like the others."

"Yeah, she ain't special. Just a daintily little thing, Mr. Uzumaki needs a real woman not a wall flower." Nora was not the only one who had tried, Naruto was well known in the hood and his personality along with his looks and status attracted others to him but all had been shot down to becoming friends

These words were loud enough for her to hear which caused the tension to increase and she was hesitating when she saw him smile gently at her, this reinvigorated her spirit.

"Excuse me"

"Yes, how may I help you?" Naruto asked gently, the background noise he had heard and knew what she wanted but he didn't push

"I love you, would you go out with me with the intention of marriage." Nora blurted out quickly so that she won't hesitate

That was a first as the others had asked for marriage or girlfriend but both mixed in one now but just like every other woman or girl, Naruto didn't feel any interest in them and he replied, "Sorry, I am not interested in such relations but I would be to be your friend and help you."

________________________________________

They called him the Guardian of Gotham, was he a spirit or an alien nobody knows. What is the gender, no one can tell as they have never the Guardian. The only they can be sure of was that the Guardian will always protect them just like always.

The Guardian came unannounced and has never left; he did what the law could not do. Fix up the cesspool that was Gotham, it became the safest city in the world with low crime rate as the Guardian only takes action for big crimes.

The Day of Miracles, a day when all the corruption was purged from Gotham and turned to dust. The people suffering were given life, healed of all their pain and misery, the light of hope shone on them at dawn the next day when the sky was clearer than it could ever have been.

The people loved the Guardian, adored him and he was the shining beacon to them like no other. No gangs or anything could return as the punishment was not a onetime thing, any time a scum tried to enter the city they turned to dust and were erased.

The police force would have been on the case like they did in the start but the protest by the civilians curbed them and even the officers themselves were happy as the force was cleaned up from inside, the corrupt officers dead along with higher ups.

The Bat-family lost its reason to operate as there was no crime in Gotham anymore for them to fight and even thought Batman would like to find the Guardian, the eyes of the citizens were not kind to such ideas.

'Three years since that day and not even sign of who or what it is?'

'Is it really a ghost that awakened from its slumber because of the crimes above?'

'Or is it some Alien?'

'It is a frustrating as the Guardian never appears and kills without leaving any trace, no signs.'

'I should be happy to see the city like this but the Guardian continues to play like he owns the people, no concern for the law and lives.'

'Thousands of people have been erased without a trace but now it's normal that even if someone disappeared in front of a crowd they had cheer.'

"This is madness" Bruce muttered in a frustrated tone as he smashed his fist against the ground

"What is the problem, Bruce?" Naruto asked, his client who had decided to enroll into his care. As Naruto provided training and good massages that relieved tension much better than anyone in the service

"Nothing just some personal business that disturbed my meditation, do you have any way to curb such problems?" Bruce asked courteously to the man whom he had known about from the news and Barbara, his reputation had warranted his presence as he thought to try out the service himself

'I can understand how he charms people; his personality is just too kind. If he wasn't beating me up an hour ago, I would never believe he could hurt a fly.' Bruce thought with a smile

"How about a massage, you seem really tense? It should help somewhat otherwise we got some Green tea that is healthy for the mind which we can have after the massage." Naruto offered as he stood next to Bruce wearing his White Gi

"That would be wonderful. I really appreciate this service even if it costly." Bruce said with a chuckle as he got up and walked with Naruto, from the Garden that was filled with countless flowers and fruits along with a pond in the centre where small fishes could be seen

They walked over the bridge to the massage room, where the required equipment was present. Bruce could smell incense in the room and he could feel his mind relax, he lay down as told and Naruto did his job.

"Thank you for the help Naruto, it was better than I expected and I feel so much better. So you can count on me coming next week as well." Bruce said as he shook Naruto's hand

"It was nice meeting you, Bruce. I really respect all you have done for the city, not everyone can be so selfless like you and use so much of their wealth for strangers." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he looked at him like kind old man

"Thank you, it makes me happy that you think so. Have a good day and give my blessings to your daughter." Bruce said as he walked out of the compound, the dojo was close to the villa as the garden was the center of the design

"Father, your towel" A young girl of 16 with blond hair and blue eyes muttered in an affectionate tone

"Thanks Mea" Naruto said as he took the towel and cleared away the sweat from his face as he was going to meet Amanda soon

"Father, can I fight crimes in other cities? We have been trained but I can't understand the purpose." Mea Dearden now known Mea Uzumaki, the adopted child whom Naruto had saved by coincidence, asked in a confused tone

"Why do you want to fight? Is there any purpose for you to risk your life for these people? Or is it for fun?" Naruto looked at her; his eyes had lost their kindness and showed strictness

Mea looked at those eyes and shivered, she knew how scary her Father could get sometimes especially in his alone time when he didn't like to be disturbed. She had been traumatized by those lifeless eyes that showed his darkness once when she had opened the door.

"Father, I just want to help but if you don't like it than I won't ask." Mea muttered in a calm tone as she held back her fear as she had been trained by Naruto to never let fear affect your actions

"Good, no hero business. I don't want you to get hurt so enjoy this life living normally." Naruto smiled with happy tone, his eyes returned to his default state of complete kindness as he hugged Mea who melted into his embrace

Mea completely forgot about her request and just enjoyed the hug, she liked being hugged by Father and she was happy that he was back to his real self.

"I won't do it" Mea said as she accepted his words, Fathers words were law and were not to be tested

"Good girl, Father loves you a lot so never say that you will risk your life." Naruto said with care as patted her had, she was so small and delicate that he didn't want to see her out there for no reason

"Daddy, I am home" Himawari said as she entered the house following her was Barbara who was amazed by the changes in the neighborhood known to be the worst part of Gotham several years ago but now it attracted many people to buy residence here

The driver parked the car while the girls went inside, Himawari ran inside excitedly surprising Barbara.

'I thought she was supposed to have that calm and delicate setting.'

'She just did a 180 and became excited child.' Barbara looked at the scene with amusement as she saw Naruto who caught Himawari in a hug as she jumped at him

"Calm down princess, Daddy is not going anywhere and your friend is here?" Naruto said in a happy tone, he was fulfilled when Himawari was in his arms. Safe and happy, away from all the filth of the world

"Daddy, I heard the female customers are increasing again and becoming bolder. Can you work less at that place or those filthy things would corrupt your eyes?" Himawari said with a pout as she looked at him in the eyes

"As you wish my princess, I will work less there if it makes you unhappy." Naruto replied without hesitation, to him she was his life and whatever she wanted was a command. He had regrets and he had promised never to let that happen again

While Barbara was astonished at the poisonous way Hima talked about people, 'She has real deep issues, does she really hate anyone getting close to her father or is it something else.'

'This compulsive disorder seems to have very deep reasoning behind, it seems and I really should be careful or else she might break my limbs if I look the wrong way.' Barbara concluded, she knew Hima was trained by her father and even participated in the beat down of people who came to train

"Hello Mr. Uzumaki, hope I am not disturbing" Barbara greeted Naruto in a friendly tone as she had talked to Naruto once on the phone when she became friends with Hima

'An overprotective father and daughter duo, is how I see them.'

"Good to see you Barbara, I hope Hima hasn't caused any trouble." Naruto replied in a calm tone as he took in the girl, he knew what she did and hoped she stayed friends with Hima or else he would be cross

"Master, the food is ready" An attractive woman with black hair and green eyes wearing a maid uniform called out in a formal tone

"Thank you, Jaina. We will be there in a sec." Naruto replied

Jaina nodded and went back to the dining hall while Naruto guided Hima to her room and asked them to get ready for dinner.

"Hello little sister, I hope you had great day." A girl of nineteen with black hair and brown eyes muttered in a friendly tone as she exited her room

"It was boring as usual, what about you Cassandra?" Hima said as she gave quick hug to her elder sister who had been adopted by her Daddy

"I helped father at the shop and with training the disciples, so a fulfilling day." Cassandra said with a smile, she was trained as an assassin before and had been saved by Naruto so she enjoyed the care and love she received even if she could never be the favorite it was enough to be loved

"So jealous, Daddy should just let me work with him. It's not like I need to attend University." Hima shook her head and said so as she let Barbara say hello

"I will be going down so hurry up."

Hima saw her go down and entered her room with Barbara, it was filled with paintings and there was even poster of Naruto receiving a prize in a mix martial combat. Barbara wasn't surprised to see that the room was extremely girly and filled with such things except the book case.

"Let's take a quick shower and go down, I don't want to make daddy wait." Hima said as she placed her bag down in its place and undressed followed by taking out some other clothes

"Do we really need to?"

"Yes, now come on undress." Hima said as she forcefully took off her clothes and dragged her into the shower

"Father, Hima seems to be playing around as hero in metropolis. Are you going to ask on the subject?" Cassandra spoke as she sat down, the words surprised Mea and made her sad as she knew that Father knew this but let her play

"I am always watching and she had the power to fight so there is no worry, she shows cautiousness and that is enough." Naruto said as he flipped through the book on Finance

"I understand" Cassandra said with a smile as she looked towards Mea who was biting her lips

'She really needs to understand; Father has clear boundaries and would always accept Hima unless it's something he really dislikes.'

'The only way to go is talk to Hima; otherwise it is not going to work.'

"Mea, if you wish to play than ask Hima if you can join her." Naruto muttered in a calm tone and smiled towards her, he could feel the pain she felt but he didn't want to say yes.

"Really?" Mea looked up and tears could be seen in her eyes, it must have felt like betrayal knowing the clear difference in treatment

________________________________________

"Daddy, how do I look?" Hima asked as she spun around in her clothes, the dinner had been done and it was time for sleep

"You look gorgeous; my little princess is the most beautiful girl in the world. The more you grow, the more you look like your mother." Naruto said as he touched her cheek gently, like she was delicate flower that would shatter with slight force. He had removed the birthmarks from both their faces to avoid attention and carved seals on her body to conceal her Byakugan, giving her normal eyes.

"Really, I am happy that you think so Daddy." Hima smiled happily at the praise and hugged Naruto, she could tell he was not lying and it was his honest judgment

"You left your friend with a clone, I am so sorry that you have to force yourself to spend time with me." Naruto said as he played with her hair

"I love to spend time with Daddy, so it is not a problem."

"I was wrong when I asked Daddy to lower the time at the café, but if Daddy wishes Daddy can spend as much time Daddy wants." Hima said in an affectionate tone as she stared at him, she had been reminded of Naruto's needs by Barbara who mentioned she might have been too selfish in her demand

"I am so happy that my little princess has thought about me, so sweet." Naruto said joyfully as he kissed her lovable cheeks

"Now let's sleep, we are going out tomorrow." Naruto said as he entered the bed and opened the blanket for Hima to enter his embrace, since that day he had always slept with her as he felt scared when she wasn't there. Nightmares were driven by her presence otherwise he was always plagued by them even till now, they were rare these days but time was still needed.

In a dark room, Naruto was sitting on a chair surrounded by dark figures except one who looked like Himawari. They were saying something's she couldn't understand but those words hurt her Father and she opened the door.

"Leave father alone, don't hurt him." Mea shouted and Naruto looked at her with those dead eyes which caused her to shiver in fear and lose consciousness

Mea awoke with a start as she had just remembered that day.

'Was that woman, Hima's mother?'

'What happened to father?'

'Who were the other figures?'

'Who is father?' Mea pondered as she got up to pour water to drink but when she looked up she saw Naruto

"Father" Mea exclaimed in a surprised tone as she didn't know how long he had been there

"Mea, I am sorry that you had to suffer because of me." Naruto muttered in a gentle tone as he sat down beside her on the bed

"Father, it's not your fault. It was those dark people who made father sad." Mea refuted his claim and looked into his gentle eyes that gave her warmth; looking into them she knew she was safe and happy

"You are a good child and I care for you so I will give you the option to choose whether to remember or for it to vanish." Naruto said as he hugged her by the shoulders, it was his fault. A day of weakness and she witnessed in partly but in his lost state he had failed to see reality, only the abnormal fear she showed sometimes made him understand she saw him in that state

"Does Hima know?" Mea questioned looking into his eyes but inside she knew what the answer was and what her answer should be

"She knows everything Mea, you should know that. It is her right and I will never deny her that. I know what your answer is going to be and I am happy that you wish to conquer a fear but know that I love you and that dream where you see me is not complete. You have not seen the whole play, I was hurt but that is the past and those people do not exist just phantom's of the time gone by." Naruto explained in a calm tone as he held back his emotions

"Is father being haunted by ghosts or was it all in illusion?" Mea enquired as that would be the only thing she could think of from his description

"An illusion and a product of my mind, I wish to see them and hear their voice. So don't worry there is no big deal, those eyes you see won't hurt you remember that I care for you all and that fear should vanish." Naruto said as he placed her in his lap and hugged her like she was a doll

"Father, who are you?" Mea muttered in an uncertain tone her hesitation was tangible

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, there is no indication other than what is shown on the outside." She said in an unsure tone, she also only knew what the general public plus the information that Naruto had powers but even she didn't know he was the Guardian

"We have lived together for three years already so I guess you should know. We are from a different world and I was a leader of military force in that world, well from the outside of station and realistically I pretty much ruled the whole world." Naruto said with a smile as he remembered his previous designation

"I understand, thank you for talking to me. I love you Father." Mea said as she stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek

"I love you to; now sleep as we are going out tomorrow." Naruto said as he walked out of the room and went to his room, it was main bedroom of villa and was filled with paintings along with some bookshelves

'Father is from another world, so something bad must have happened. He looked happy when he talked about but he said that they were ghosts of the past, meaning dead.'

'What must have Father and Hima gone through?'

'I can tell Hima is obsessed with Father and Father is obsessed over her, it is clearly visible in all his actions.'

'So it must have to with deaths of his friends and Wife, that woman who looked like Hima must have been Mother.' Mea concluded as she drank water, she had been trained and taught by Naruto from the time she had been adopted such deductions were part of the training along with physical training which made them break the human limits and enter the supernatural territory

"Who are you?" Supergirl questioned as she came to the scene of a bank robbery which seems to be too common in Metropolis once Superman was out in space for some task

"You may call me Phoenix and I am an ally of justice." The woman wearing full on red armor from which green energy could be seen at place and her floral pattern eyes which shone with power

"Don't get into a mess or else I won't be kind." Supergirl muttered in a calm tone, these days had been harsh on her mind and soul. The survivor guilt and the pain of constant battles had been getting to her mind, so much that she wished to lash out but she couldn't see whom she could open up to

"You look stressed; I can feel your pain. If you wish I can help you, talk to me." Phoenix said as she was barely inches away, her face close to Kara's

"None of your business, I can handle it." Kara replied with caution as she flew back but Phoenix caught her hand

"It is not wrong to ask for help, we can't always be strong. Let me help, I want to be your friend." Phoenix spoke in a kind tone as she held Kara from the back and green energy embraced her completely, Kara didn't resist as she felt comforted and her pain was receding

"Thank you, I feel so much better now. What do you want as compensation?" Kara said as she cleared away the tears of relief that had come out just like her pain, her stance for the new heroine became nicer

"Nothing, I just want to be friends." Phoenix muttered in a happy tone, she was happy a fight didn't take place as Kara was physically stronger than her and a battle would cause too much damage

________________________________________

"It's seems Mistress is enjoying her time, Master should be happy now that she has a new friend." A beautiful woman with white hair known as the White Rabbit looked at the scene from a far off building

________________________________________

An excitement filled day in the Himalayas ended for the Uzumaki family with Barbara getting closer to them and also understanding more about Naruto as they shared a cottage together for the night.

The next day, back in Gotham in of the rooms in the basement the girls were sitting around a table. This place was the armory and beside it was the room where Naruto made things, from weapons to armors in honor of his friends and for the needs of his girls.

"Hima, we wish to join you in the heroics." Mea opened up the conversation, directly to the point

"I have no problem with that but do you really understand why I do this?" Himawari said in a calm tone as she flicked a stray hair

"You want to help people and use your powers with responsibility." Mea said slowly watching her expression, which changed into a smirk at her answer

"Tsk, tsk"

"Mea, why would I care about such things? Those people mean nothing to me; I care not for their lives."

"I do this simply because of Daddy. You should already know that Daddy was a fighter, Daddy was the strongest and an unbeatable being."

"I look up to that image of the invincible warrior; I wish daddy would be strong again and use the power at his disposal. There are so many beings that can challenge Daddy and Daddy should be excited but has Daddy ever shown his fighting spirit."

"No, Daddy hasn't. So through these actions I will force Daddy to act so that we can finally be together like we should be." Hima said in an emotional tone as she remembered Naruto's body fracturing into pieces 3 years ago when he almost gave up on life

Cassandra was sitting silently alongside Jaina; they had already expected that her actions would have to do with Naruto.

'Father's fighting spirit, truly now that she mentions it when we fight Father feels empty like he is not even there and just going through the motions.'

'What did he look like when he showed his strength and bravery?'

'What did Hima see that I have not seen?' Cassandra felt the desire take root in her heart as she wished to see her father complete

"I want to help, why don't you ask us? We also love father, you can count on us." Mea didn't let those words hurt her, she did feel guilty for being almost selfish but she decided to move on and ask.

"Of course, it is easy we just go around as a squad and sometimes individually as heroes around the cities nearby. This will place us in danger but Daddy is always watching us when we leave the house so sooner or later Daddy will give in." Hima explained with a gentle smile that hid the savagery and darkness of a broken child

"What are you girls going to call yourselves?" Jaina asked, she was already in her White Rabbit form and with each of her movements reality shimmered

"Phoenix as I have risen from the ashes and I will always do so" Hima was said in a confident tone as she got up and tapped the wall behind her which revealed the armor. An armor made by Naruto with one year's worth of chakra, every grain was made of pure power that surpassed anything and this armor gave her sense of comfort and the feeling that her Daddy was hugging her tightly.

'Until Daddy is by my side, nothing else matters.'

"Valkyrie, I wish to fight using the power father has blessed me with." Cassandra commented, her armor was much simpler than Hima's but just like Hima's, hers also concealed her identity and allowed full movement with no difficulty while wearing the helm.

"Wasp, father already designed our armors according to our tastes so the name was already chosen for it. I wish to see if the outside world can hurt us when father is protecting us, is it even possible." Mea said as she got up, her voice showed the confidence she held in Naruto's powers as he had given her the life since that day

"Team name Royal Knights, as Daddy is royalty and we shall be his guardians that will save Daddy's heart." Hima said with a chuckle as the armor got equipped with a thought, she was connected to it by the soul

"That's really cheesy but it's better than most of those heroes going around with such embarrassing names." Cassandra said as she got up, the meeting was adjourned and she was not going to join today so it was time to leave

"Good luck and really don't do anything that might hurt father." Cassandra said as she left the room

Hima looked at the retreating back and then turned around, leaving the villa through teleportation.

'She is getting too close to Daddy; I should show her where she stands clearly.'

"Any lead on our mysterious Guardian?" Batman asked as he entered the watchtower

"You are still on it, I am sorry but it's beyond my capability to find him or it. I can't see how they die or what is done; it's just too hard to understand." Zatanna said as she floated in place

"I think I might know who can help you but you should probably give up on that. The Guardian doesn't move so it shouldn't matter much." Wonderwoman commented as she came out of the training room, she had visited Gotham and she had felt something familiar about it all

"That is for me to decide, I would appreciate your help so who is it?" Batman said in a calm tone, he felt he was finally cracking the damn code which had been like a ghost

"Gaia, The Primordial."

"I did not expect to see you like this, Pam." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he saw the team brought by Amanda

"It is nice to see you again, Naruto. A month has gone by and I have wished so much to see you again. Just like you asked I surrendered myself but I didn't wish to stay long inside so accepted the offer and I am so delighted that I can be trained by you." Pamela also known as Poison Ivy said in a happy tone as she hugged Naruto

Pam had come across Naruto as she had been attracted to the extreme natural energy in Gotham which led her to him but she couldn't understand why. She had spent time around him, visited his café and even the restaurant finally she had confessed her love which had formed unexpectedly.

The outcome was predictable and she became friends with him as that was enough but she wanted more so she asked him what she could do.

"Pay your due."

"I am happy that you are becoming a better person and it is nice to see a friend again, I had believed that I would be working with unknown criminals but with you here the time can be better spent." Naruto said in a friendly tone as he kissed her cheek, a reward of intimacy as he knew she had done this for him

"Ivy, I didn't know you had a lover. What about poor old Harley?" Harley Quinn, also known as Joker's bitch, who seemed to have been caught raving in a crazed tone when she witnessed the death of Joker on the day of Miracles.

"I wish but for now he is a friend, do listen to his commands diligently or else I would be cross." Pam said as she looked at her friend

"Cassandra take the rest of them to the training room and assess them following that give them the appropriate tasks." Naruto said as he turned to his assistant who had just come back from the meeting

Cassandra nodded and went towards the rest of the crew who were looking around and standing in one place, their lives were in the hands of a mad woman so they didn't want to tempt fate.

"Follow me, I will assess in you live combat so please try your best." Cassandra said in a formal tone as she signaled for them to follow and led them to a different room

"You really should move on Pam, a beautiful woman like you can easily find someone wonderful." Naruto advised as he walked towards the garden

"But they can't be you so I don't want them and why don't you take your advice, I think it is not right to say things when you can't do them yourself." Pam countered she knew that he was still grieving the loss of family and wanted to fill in the hole but he never let anyone in

"Sorry, I was being too presumptuous. You can do whatever you wish but don't go overboard. Now sit here and meditate, you understand this place is the best for you so train here from now on." Naruto said as he indicated a spot beneath a very large tree, it was clearly 100 m tall and it was the tree which he planted in the honor of Konoha.

"I am happy to be granted such privilege and I will definitely try to make you happy, don't count me out yet." Pam said with a happy tone as she sat done as told

"Sooo, what am I gonna do?" Harley asked as she hopped on her feet, she was distracted easily

"You have a mental problem, a good child corrupted by an insane clown. I will fix you and what you learn from that state will be depending on you." Naruto said calmly as he closed the distance and with a single touch Harley was down.

'This is for Pam but I also wish to help, I guess I can't change my stripes yet.' Naruto thought with a small smile as he placed her beside Pam

"Come now Raven, father dear is waiting for your response." A vile enemy of the Teen Titans and their primary foe, Slade muttered in a teasing tone

"The portal has to be made, the clock is ticking little chick. Do not resist your destiny?"

"Get away from me." Raven exclaimed with anger and hatred, she was alone in quieter part of the city as she wished to think over her situation outside the tower but who would have expected that Slade was working for her father

The dark bolts hurled at the enemy hurled him against the building behind him but no permanent damage, she held back from killing him and he had that armor which protected him from even the strongest of beings.

"Child throwing a tantrum won't do you any good, be a good daughter and help daddy." Slade said as he walked closer to her with his helm having the demonic sign which haunted her dreams, the sight was causing her to become unstable and fear was setting in

"Get your filthy paws of her villain." A shout came from above but before he could even react Slade had been smashed into the ground, if it was any other hero Slade would have survived but it was the Wasp

Wasp punched him in the head with full force with her armored body, an armor that could take beating of the strongest and with the speed of mach 50. Slade had zero chance of survival, his body exploded into pieces with the applied force.

Wasp floated in front of Raven, with her wings in motion while making no noise and unable to be perceived.

"Are you okay, Raven?" Wasp enquired

Raven stared at the remains of Slade and looked at the unknown woman, 'She didn't hesitate to kill.'

"Who are you?" Raven asked cautiously

Three hours after training the new individuals, Naruto walked inside the villa and entered his room. He locked it behind him and the room showed its true color, the paintings of landscape's changed to paintings of his loved ones.

"Move on and change, they say."

"Become strong like I used to Hima says."

"Have I really lost awareness and not realized the change."

"I am too old to be playing with toys, don't you think guys." Naruto muttered as he watched a miniature Konoha operate through manual control by his chakra

"Hima would be sad to see me like this, I should probably erase it. A sign of weakness she would say and I do not wish to make her sad." Naruto muttered calmly as the whole thing was erased

"It's been a long time since we talked Brother. I wish you were here, I regret that I can never pay you back for all the love that you gave me."

"I had planned to find you a wife but it will never be possible anymore. Do you think I can find you again, Gaara?" Naruto said in a quite tone as he touched the painting of his fellow Kage

"If you could talk, you would tell me to move on and be strong. I am trying brother, aren't I?" Naruto asked but no answer was available and he moved on to another after erasing it

'When I change, I will make a better painting of you Brother.'

"Sasuke I apologize that I haven't made time for you but you know I am busy with my daughter. You are happy that I decided to do that, thank you."

"We are bothers by spirit but when that explosion happened, I was unable to protect you and chose my daughter. Was I selfish?"

"I might be. Who knows if you were here we might have found a way but I doubt that. I tried connecting to the souls and guide you here but no response was given, that explosion as expected contained a soul attack. I had felt the sting on my soul when I arrived here, causing me to have lower control over my actions."

"I had contemplated dying as I felt guilty of surviving when I could have just saved more by people if I had just died. But you know Hima would die if I do that, she can't seem to live without me anymore. I didn't think she would be attached to me so much, she did stick to me when she was young and still does."

"I guess I am happy that she doesn't act like the normal kids as I would be too sad."

"Sorry if I bored you with that but for now its farewell, See you later Brother." Naruto muttered in a happy tone as he touched the painting

"Hinata, I hope I didn't make you feel lonely." Naruto said as he sat down on his chair and in front of him was a large painting that he had made personally

She looked as beautiful as ever and that smile brought him pain and joy whenever he looked at it.

"You know Hima has grown so beautiful, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between you two if you stood together."

"She has grown so strong but I feel I might have pushed her too hard and made her attached to me more than ever."

"She doesn't realize it but her heart is corrupt with possessiveness, her love for me knows no bounds."

"I wonder where she got that from." Naruto said in a peaceful tone and chuckled as he imagined Hinata giggling at his words

"Man is weak but for you I will be strong." Naruto muttered as he felt Hima's arms and her warmth as she hugged him

"I love you Daddy so Daddy shouldn't show weakness, It makes me feel sad."

"It doesn't matter how long it takes, I will wash the sorrow of Daddy's soul and make Daddy whole again." Hima said with tears in her eyes, she had teleported and replaced herself with a clone once she felt that Naruto might be doing this again

"What a precious child but I am complete as you can see." Naruto said as he turned around with a wide smile

"Daddy you said you will always tell me what I want. Tell me, was Daddy not feeling sad or was Daddy not feeling the wish to join Mother." Hima asked in a serious tone, the word mother felt foreign for some reason

"I am sorry, you are right princess I was feeling sad but with you here I can never be incomplete because I found in you what was lost in me so together we are a whole." Naruto said as hugged Hima who didn't like hearing that he had been feeling pain

'I need to do this faster or else Daddy might break down like before. Or even be swayed by witches in his weak state.'

"I also feel complete without you Daddy; the thought of anything happening to Daddy terrifies me. Promise me Daddy will never leave me." Hima confessed in an emotional tone, she felt sad whenever Naruto entered this room filled with memories of the past that continued to haunt him

"I will never leave you so don't cry princess. I am immortal and I will always be by your side just like you who will be always by my side so don't cry." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he enveloped his little princess in his embrace and love, that was the only way she would calm down and so he showered her with his love for her through the emphatic connection

"Then will Daddy fight by my side, I wish to see Daddy as he used to be. Strong and shining with hope, Daddy is that possible?" Hima knew she was being pushy but she wanted to see him as he used to be, she had gone through more than three years with her father broken and it was enough.

"Give me some more time sweetie; I will definitely be what you want. I have already erased the remnants of my past that tied me down and until I am back in shape I won't bring them back. Are you okay with that?" Naruto said as he sat down in his seat with Hima in his lap

"Thank you Daddy, I love you so much. You are the best Daddy, I could wish for." Hima praised Naruto as she knew how important those things were to him. Naruto had made those slowly with love and adoration, pouring all his emotions into their creation and destroying them was a great show of love for her.

'I will definitely change Daddy; he only needs me and no one else. I deserve all his attention and love; let the dead rest in peace. Mother should want Daddy to be happy so I will make sure of it.' Hima thought as she enjoyed the warmth of Naruto's chakra connecting with hers, she couldn't sleep right without this connection since the day she saw her world get destroyed and her father almost die in the solar explosion

"I love you to Hima; you are such a kind child. The best I could ever dream off. I hope you enjoy playing around with your sisters." Naruto said in a calm tone as he was feeling serene at the moment with all his worries put to rest

"I am trying my best to keep them in line so nothing happens but for now there isn't anything big to worry about except the heroes who might interfere." Hima replied in a happy tone as she looked at Naruto's large hands and touched them

"Unfortunately they don't understand common sense it seems, try your best not to get in trouble with them. They shouldn't be able to tell when you kill someone so it shouldn't be a problem but keep away from the lantern, I am unsure I he can trap you or not." Naruto warned as he thought about the Justice Leaguers whom he had never interacted with on the field but he had met them without them realizing that he was the one they were looking for.

"I know Daddy, Daddy should have more confident in me. I am not little child anymore but a bona fide warrior." Hima said with a pout at being given such a basic warning

"Haha"

"You will always be my little princess so does that matter and some things need to be always conveyed as people forget." Naruto chuckled seeing her cute look and pinched her adorable cheeks

"Daddy will you play with me" Hima asked as she wished to spend time in something that Naruto liked doing

"Of course and I am happy that you are being so considerate of my feelings these days." Naruto said with a smile as the card decks and hologram stage appeared in the room

"It is time to play Yugioh"

________________________________________

"I am Wasp, do not be so wary Raven. I like you a lot and am your fan, I am happy that you help this world even though you don't need to." Wasp said in a friendly tone as she landed close to Raven who was still cautious of Wasp

Raven looked at Wasp with an analyzing gaze; she was unsure how to react as she had never been praised like this.

'She saved me; I should not treat her like a stranger and I don't feel any darkness from her. A pure being, that is really rare. But not someone to be looked down upon, I can't look into her memories.' Raven mused as unlike Slade who had been a slave of her Father, Wasp didn't show any connection so it was a mystery how she block such contact

"Thank you for helping me, Wasp. As you seem to be a new hero and that guy was already dead so I don't mind but could you not go around killing people, it will get you in trouble." Raven advised in a calm tone as he floated above ground and her power was back in order except some hiccups

"No problem, I killed him because I knew he was an undead. Would you like to hang out with me, you seem to be feeling lonely? I might be able to help if you could share your worries." Wasp said in a calm tone, lying through her teeth as she wouldn't have cared if he was live man or not. Naruto's teaching said to kill any enemy that the armor indicated had breached the limits.

"I appreciate your concern but I would like to be left alone." Raven said as she tried to fly away but Wasp intercepted her midflight

"It is not good to keep everything within; I can tell you are suffering. You don't need to share your life with me but it would be better to spend time with friends than stay alone in such moments." Wasp said in a caring tone, she didn't posses the ability to read emotions but the armor provided her the readings it had basic abilities of Naruto installed in it as it was made through his powers

"I don't need your pity; please get out of the way." Raven felt her emotions rise with such interference

"I am not showing you pity, you are an important person and may be connected to something big. If something happens to you, many things could go awry, let us just talk over tea and biscuits." Wasp said in a gentle tone which was enhanced by the natural energy to provide comfort, her touch brought warmth to Raven and conflicted with her negative emotions

'How can her powers combat the devil within?'

'If she is there I might be able to stop it, the prophecy might not come true.'

'This is the only hope I have now but can I really trust her with such important task.' Raven hesitated but decided to hang out with Wasp without telling her about the incoming crisis

"I accept your offer but do not expect me to divulge personal information." Raven said in a calm tone and Wasp nodded, and they flew away to Starbucks

________________________________________

"Father, can you check this?" Mea returned home at night as she had played outside the whole day, a Saturday so no school

Naruto took the broken armor of Slade with a curious look as he trusted his daughters to not bring him trivial things.

"A souvenir from your first time, it really is something. DeathStroke brought so low to become a demon's pawn. You did well in bringing me this, I can feel the demonic connection and the being behind it is something we cannot allow to enter this realm. Take care of the girl and if needed bring her to me." Naruto said as he hugged Mea for job well done

"Thank you father, I will do my best. But how do I introduce her to you, won't that give your normal life." Mea enquired

"Emergency situations require solutions even if they are undesired. I will just change to shape to look like one of my friends and meet outside, with armor it will cause her to be wary as I am guy." Naruto said in a calm tone but there was more to it, he didn't like putting on that armor and take up his weapon

He had made them with care to compensate for his weakness on that day but he couldn't put them on, his body resisted them. It was a mental trauma related to his regrets and he felt pain when touching those weapons.

"Okay Father, also dinner is ready." Mea said in a happy tone as she kissed his cheek and left the study, she didn't like being surrounding by books

'I can't believe can stay in there for so long, I couldn't survive an hour.' Mea thought as she escaped to the dining room

'Could killing her solve the problem or make it worse?'

'Can I cut of the connection?'

'Filthy demon you are endangering my little princess, for this I will definitely erase you from existence one day, it might not be today but you will pay for such sacrileges thoughts.' Naruto thought as his anger came to the forefront after a long time and the chair broke into pieces from the pressure which brought him back to his senses and he stopped

"Naruto relax, nothing is happening right now and anger only makes things worse. So be calm like always and together we can do this." Kurama's voice rang inside his head, the only other surviving individual of his world and his eternal partner

"Thanks brother, I will take that in stride." Naruto muttered as he walked away.

________________________________________

It was Jan 1st and the time was 6.40 P.M in New York City, an alien bounty hunter had arrived for his target. A naturally born evil being that had caused mass genocide and destruction where ever he went, a feared force in the universe and an immortal to the horror of his enemies.

"Hey little chick, was this supposed to tickle me. I am a nice guy so I will tell you to kindly fuck off and come back when you gain a bit more meat." Lobo the immortal hunter said in teasing tone as he slapped Wonder Girl causing her to fly into a building

"Wonder Girl" Batgirl screamed when she saw how casually her friend had been slapped aside, she was starting to doubt they were enough for this enemy

"Girls you are beautiful and I don't like hurting my future banging partners so chill and let me do my job. You are not in my league, bring in Super chump and even he would fall to his knees in front of me." Lobo boasted in a confident tone as he took his sweet time walking towards his target

"Don't count me out yet, you misogynistic freak." Wonder Girl growled as she bull rushed at Lobo from behind and kicked him on the head to damage him as she had concluded he was truly capable of taking her full power hits

Lobo was bored and was about to catch her pretty little leg when he saw Supergirl flying at him, "Interesting, Super Chump has a girly version. I wonder how he would feel if a banged her." Lobo chuckled at his own words as he was blasted away by the force from the kick

"Don't count me out yet, you misogynistic freak." Wonder Girl growled as she bull rushed at Lobo from behind and kicked him on the head to damage him as she had concluded he was truly capable of taking her full power hits

Lobo was bored and was about to catch her pretty little leg when he saw Supergirl flying at him, "Interesting, Super Chump has a girly version. I wonder how he would feel if a banged her." Lobo chuckled at his words as he was blasted away by the force from the kick

Lobo crashed into the building and planted his legs into the ground to stop, he was clearly unharmed and luckily no one else was either as the police had already started evacuations.

"Geez, that burns." Lobo muttered as he felt the heat ray on his skin, it made him feel pain but nothing more and he walked forward towards his target which seems to be escaping

"Sorry chicks I have to postpone our date as I am busy." Lobo said with a chuckle as closed the distance between him and wonder girl, he hit her with an uppercut which sent her flying into the air and almost killing her as her head would have come off with a bit more force.

"Next" Lobo said as he dashed towards the incoming Super Girl and both of the ended up in a close fight

________________________________________

In the Uzumaki Household, the family was having dinner in calm manner when Himawari felt the battle happening.

"Inform her not to mess with him, his target is an enemy of humans so let him be." Naruto muttered in a calm tone as he stopped his meal for a second and continued without a thought of the safety of humans or the heroes in the area

"Thank you Daddy" Himawari said with a smile, she was happy that he at least cared enough to let her inform them or else he never cared before to even interfere slightly

'Super Girl don't fight him, the General is an alien that is an enemy of human. Just ask the hunter, he will tell what he is hunting.' Himawari transmitted her thought to Super Girl through the seal that she had placed on Kara without her notice

________________________________________

Super Girl struggled under his grip as he smashed her into the ground, the hits were heavy and the enemy was not getting weaker or anything. She was feeling hopeless about the fight and it was painful to fail again.

She floated again ready to attack him again when she heard the transmission from Phoenix, 'He is not an enemy.'

"Lobo, what are you hunting?" Super girl called out to him

"Oh, finally interested in listening it seems. I am hunting a Krolotean, why would I care for a human. They don't have much value." Lobo chuckled as he walked towards Bat Girl and General Tseng that had been trapped inside a collapsed building

'Krolotean, which means it, has replaced the real person.'

'The only reason could be for something negative.' Super Girl thought as she flew towards Bat Girl and broke through the debris

She decided to put some trust in her new friend and applied pressure on the general's arm, it broke as expected and reveled to be a robot arm.

She grabbed him and threw him towards lobo, "Here is your target, leave." She muttered in a frustrated tone as she had been manipulated again and lost a battle once again.

"No need to thank me just doing my job." Lobo teased as he took out the alien and left

"Bat girl are you alright?" Kara asked in a worried tone, she could see that her ankle had been hurt

"Just a light sprain nothing special but what was that." Bat Girl questioned as Wonder Girl joined them, she was holding her chin with a pained look

"A Krolotean"

This information was then given to the Justice league and the problem was taken care of effectively, the alien lived by stealing technology and they always moved in hordes so they had already infiltrated human land but luckily the league had a way to track them down.

"Daddy, I am so happy that you saved them." Himawari said in a happy tone as she hugged Naruto from behind as he sat down to watch TV

"I did nothing but if it makes you happy then so be it." Naruto smiled as he felt comfortable with her arms around his neck, it made him feel at peace

"No need to be so humble, the world might never celebrate Daddy's heroism but I always do so. For today I will make father pudding." Himawari muttered in a cheerful tone as she kissed Naruto on the cheek and left to the kitchen, she knew it was Naruto who had provided the way and the leaguers thought it was just a coincidence

'Daddy will soon be back in shape. I can see it now, slowly but surely the strong Daddy is coming back.'

'Oh, will Daddy remember that day?'

'Will Daddy be angry with me?'

'Will Daddy hate himself again?'

'Is it so wrong?' Himawari thought as she cooked

________________________________________

"Thank you for the help, Phoenix. I apologize that you had to be dragged into a problem created by us." Kara said as they sat atop a building in Metropolis

"No problem, they were going to harm the world so it was my duty to help. It's not like your friends did any damage on purpose so there is nothing to blame." Himawari replied in a happy tone, her mood could not be any better

"Even then I consider it a favor as such please give me an opportunity to repay it." Kara muttered in a calm tone as she enjoyed her friend s presence, she felt like never letting go

'Seriously is it her powers or am I in love?'

'I am sure it has to her powers, there is no way my preference went that way.' Kara shook her head to avoid unnecessary thoughts

"Hmm"

"If I think of one then I will inform you." Hima said as she stared into the distance, her eyes were watching Naruto through space control. She could do quadruple tasking so it wasn't a problem for her to be watching her father while doing something else

'Daddy, I really wish you wouldn't hang out with woman sometimes. Can't Daddy find only guy friends?' Hima thought as she saw Naruto training the Suicide Squad

________________________________________

"You are doing well Harley, don't give up." Naruto said in a gentle tone as he looked at the collapsed girl in front of him, she was hurting all over from the beating

'What a monster?'

'Is he even human?'

'He isn't even a bit fatigued from fighting us all; he must have super stamina and strength.' Harley thought as she stared at Naruto with a harsh glare, pain did that to people

'But damn do I love to be around him, why he had to be so harsh. I would love it if he was frivolous.' Harley thought with a smile as she struggled to her legs and took a stance

'I definitely have a chance; he did give me the knowledge and trains me personally.' She smiled at that and dashed forth

"Be calm and don't be so rash." Naruto said as he deflected her fist but he was actually taken by surprise as she just crashed into him instead of a following attack

Her arms hugged him and he could feel Harley's heart beat, she tried to push him down but that was an insurmountable act.

"You can rest now." Naruto whispered into her ears and she collapsed to the ground

"That was unfair, you blonde hunk." Harley complained as she felt her legs weak, she had realized that he could use that aura in such manners and kept people off him

"Get better and I may reward you something nice." Naruto said in a calm tone as he walked to the shower room, he was giving her an incentive and it was not what she wished for but what she might need

'Damn, I lost the opportunity again.' Harley thought as she stared at the shower with desire, she was a perverted girl and she knew it but this was definitely a first.

________________________________________

Naruto took of his clothes and entered the shower; he turned on the water and let it cleanse his body. The water was also not normal just like everything in his domain; it contained his powers so it helped in healing and strengthening the body. The domain was build with his chakra so it seeped into everything especially since it had the natural energy as a part of it.

He enjoyed the water touching his body, even though he didn't sweat from such small exercise he took cleaning seriously.

'I am starting to question if I am human.'

'I haven't felt any desire since I have come to this world.'

'Am I just not interested in other species?'

'But they look the same so it shouldn't be.'

'What could be the problem?'

'I felt extra comfortable today, I wonder why.' Naruto thought as he felt really happy today and it could be seen from his mannerism, which only people that look at him carefully would notice as he always shows a gentle face.

'Kurama, do you know why?'

'It must be because your Yin-Yang has balanced so you don't need any such desire. The Yang desires the Yin but since you have a balanced Yin-Yang, there is nothing to desire.' Kurama explained in a calm tone

'Is that so?'

'Makes sense, so I have to do this myself or I would never actually feel it.'

'Hinata would be sad if I didn't find a partner and even Himawari would want me to be happy so I should probably accept some woman.' Naruto thought as he closed the water

'I think you should wait more and definitely ask Himawari before doing it.' Kurama advised

'Obviously, why would I accept any woman that Hima doesn't like?' Naruto questioned Kurama like he had gone crazy

'My bad, I seem to have said something obvious.' Kurama said as he shook his head, wondering how his partner had become like this.

________________________________________

"Are you sure, we shouldn't be helping out?" Wonder Woman asked as she flew towards her home with Batman following

"They can handle it, this is now much more important. Unlike others I do not believe in coincidences, it should have some connection to the Guardian, he might be starting to increase his territory. I do not wish to fight an enemy that I have no knowledge off, it is a harrowing experience." Bruce said in a calm tone

"What about the new heroes, what do you think of them?"

"I do not have any clear opinion about them but I would be happier to if I had met them personally as second hand information is hardly trust worthy. But for now they seem good and they haven't done anything suspicious except Wasp. Wasp's first appearance was destroying the undead DeathStroke; her actions showed no access which means she had no hesitation in killing. It was just like an assassin, we should watch her more closely but she seems to disappear easily." Bruce explained, so many unknown factors it wasn't a good thing

"You should relax a bit or else you might get white hair." Wonder Woman advised

"I am already doing that so you don't have to worry about my health, what about you. How have you been doing now? Do you still feel guilty after knowing what we did?" Bruce questioned as he asked her about the incidence where they had been controlled by Salvage and made to attack a planet

"I am fine, thanks for asking."

"From your voice I had so not, I can introduce you to someone to take care of your problem."

"Sigh"

"Okay, I will check it out." She gave in as Bruce could be really persistent especially since it would be easy to point out that she was not alright

________________________________________

"Mother, I would like to make a request." Diana said as she landed on the island and saw hugged her mother

"You wish to know who the guardian, is it not?" Hippolyta said in a regal tone

"How, do you know what it is?"

"I do not know but Mistress Gaea has spoken to me and told me that she is not willing to share his identity but know that the Guardian cares for the world and is accepted by the Mistress." Hippolyta said as she looked at her daughter

'I really wish to tell you but then he would be angry. Mistress has commanded to bring him happiness but I am truly lost.'

"Thank you mother, it's the thought that counts." Diana replied with a smile, she was happy to see her mother after so long and outside had been hectic the last year

"Stay the night as I wish to converse with you about something important." Hippolyta said as she looked at her daughter, she would have been fine with trying to contact with the guardian but she would displease him if she led others to his place

"As you wish, I also want to spend some time here now that I have come back after so long."

"Good, we will wait in our chamber so handle the man." Her mother said as she looked at Batman and walked away with her hunters

________________________________________

"So, I figure she was not willing to share." Batman muttered in a calm tone as he saw Diana walk back to his side

"Yes, it seems that he is more important to the world than we had assumed. He might be the chosen of Gaia and continuing this might anger her, do you still wish to continue?" Diana questioned, she was worried that her friend might do something careless again as she seemed to forget about his safety at some occasions

"I will be careful; I don't think she will be angry as I don't have any wrong intentions for the guardian. I just wish to meet him."

"What will you do when you meet him? Isn't it to cage him or her away as he/she has killed on a large scale?" Diana said as she thought that was quite evident

"I can't deny that but maybe we can come to a compromise. I just don't wish for him to continue, so if he is willing to back down and not increase his sphere of influence than I don't mind the guardian being free." Batman replied

"That is surprising; I didn't think you would say that." Diana was astonished

"Maybe living in the light has affected my mind a bit, the atmosphere in Gotham is really wonderful so I might have mellowed down a bit and I do understand that he killed only the worse of the worse."

"But you will still be in conflict with the guardian as I don't really see a reason why he would stop or do you not mind the killings of anyone in Gotham."

"That is part of it; he should stop and just constrain them for the authorities. If he can kill then he should be able to trap them." Batman said as he had thought about the powers of his target, always mysterious but they revolved around nature

"You have taken up something really troublesome but I will try to help as much I can." Diana said as she hugged him

"Thank you, enjoy your time." Batman muttered in a calm tone as he separated from her and entered his jet, flying away into the horizon

'I hope this is not something beyond our levels or devolves into something worse than now.' Diana thought as she walked towards her mother's place, she was not foreign to situations becoming worse because of their actions

________________________________________

Life was a beautiful thing and I lived a very privileged life.

My Daddy was the strongest being in the world; he was the bravest and kindest person. I looked up to him from the start; I was attached to his golden glow that drew me in like moth to a flame.

My mother was the most beautiful person I had seen. She was kind and gentle. She was the love of my father's life and she loved father dearly.

We were a happy family the four of us, the youngest being my little brother Boruto. I was happy and always believed that it will continue, the expectations put on me were great but I intended to strive toward being strong as my Daddy.

But then it all came crashing down, on the day I had turned thirteen and the chuunin exam was being held. Three Otsutsuki invaded and Daddy was ready for them so he pushed them through a portal of his creation and they ended up in his zone.

I was already Jounin at that time and was sitting by Daddy's side. I wished to follow Daddy and see him in action, this was probably the worst decision I made and one that destroyed everything.

Uncle Sasuke was very confident in Daddy's power so he along with Toneri allowed me to follow them into the battle zone. Uncle Sasuke joined the battle while Toneri protected me from the affects of the battle.

I was lost in the wonderful scene, it was beyond any dream I could have ever seen and it was beautiful. Daddy shone like the sun, his power was overwhelming like never before and he even called out to me in the midst of battle as he enjoyed the rush.

I cheered but then the three became one and the battle became a bit harsher, Uncle Sasuke took some damage so he had to sit it out and Daddy fought alone. Daddy had never stopped training since the war and I had seen it myself.

Daddy was winning and was about to finish the battle but then it happened, the enemy decided to go with an explosion which broke the dimensional barriers and took down everything. It was too strong and Daddy could have chosen to take it in but he chose me, he chose me over everything else.

I was happy, I was happy that he loved me over everything else but it broke him. It broke him from the man he used to be, his smile was hollow and his heart cried out in pain. I was the only reason he lived and nothing else, and I knew I was to blame but he didn't blame me and always consoled me from the pain I felt.

Slowly I don't when but I completely forget the feeling and all that was left was love for Daddy. I wished to see him happy and I trained harder as he pushed me through the harshest training ever possible. It pained him but he always looked at me with those eyes filled with love and everything was right in my world.

The stronger I got, the more I could understand what Daddy felt and it hurt me. It was too intense; he wished to die every second of his life.

I was angry as I believed all those expressions had been faked. I cried and Daddy held me in his arms to console, he cried for the second time since that day and he promised to never leave my side.

I was filled with happiness and it never went away as Daddy started to become better and I enjoyed our time together. People would say my love was unhealthy; I was too attached to Daddy but who else would be worth of my attention.

I was the cause of the fall then I shall never leave his side as we are meant to be together.

"Isn't that right Daddy?" Himawari muttered in a lovely tone as she kissed the sleeping Naruto, she knew when he was asleep. He would sleep after a while when she was in his embrace and wouldn't react unless he felt something dangerous.

'I hope Daddy can remember that day without the pain, it was a special day for me. It was the best day of my life and I wish Daddy can understand a bit more.' Himawari thought as she touched his face and looked at him with adoration, her soul was blackened with dark emotion but she didn't care as long as she was accepted.
