Hello all Storm here with a new story! Yes a new story, but really it's to be expected at this point, besides it's another interesting one. Also it's a multi-crossover with the main one being Kim Possible. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'I can't believe it! All this time, everyone has been lying to my face!' Naruto thought as he sealed all his stuff into storage scrolls, while glaring at nothing in particular.
Naruto was angrier than he'd ever been in his life. Angrier than when Mizuki threatened Iruka-sensei, more than when Zabuza initially disregarded Haku sacrificing her life for him, more than when Neji nearly killed Hinata, his own cousin, along with being angrier than when Satsuki deserted the village to join Orochimaru and he had to drag her back to the village.
After being stabbed through the chest with a Chidori, twice!
And the reason for Naruto's anger was rather simple. He knew the truth about everything that was being kept from him.
About his parents, his heritage, his clan, his inheritance, he knew everything. Along with the fact that his so-called master Jiraiya, the old perverted bastard, was really his godfather; a godfather he never even knew existed until he caught him peaking in the hot springs.
It made Naruto's mind drift back to when this all started, a few days after he brought Satsuki back.
*Flashback*
"Hey Granny Tsunade!" Naruto said, barging into the Hokage's Office, he wanted to see if the old bag had a mission for him now that he's back to full health.
'Guess the furball is good for something.' Naruto thought while rubbing his chest, right where Satsuki had stabbed him and where his new scar was, a permanent reminder that his own teammate tried to murder him.
Though of course, Naruto paid Satsuki back both by proving her wrong by scratching her headband and a punch to the face that knocked her out.
Naruto frowned when he saw that Tsunade wasn't in the office.
'Great, she's not here, probably at the hospital or managed to sneak off to get drunk.' Naruto thought as he sighed, knowing he likely won't be getting a mission anytime soon.
Turning to head back to his apartment, Naruto stopped short and turned back to the office with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
'Then again…' Naruto thought, knowing this was a rare opportunity to be alone in the Hokage's Office for an unknown amount of time, the only other times being when he was younger and the Sandaime wasn't around.
It was those times that he'd taken the time to familiarize himself with the office, or as he liked to call it, his future office when he became Hokage. He had also come across a couple hidden compartments in the desk, which usually were filled with small books, like the one he always sees Kakashi reading, or just random knickknacks he guessed were of sentimental value.
Now Naruto could take the time to see if he could find any other hidden compartments he might have missed, or if Tsunade has put any new stuff in them.
With his mind made up, Naruto immediately got to work on snooping around the desk.
After a solid five minutes, Naruto was sure he'd found all the hidden compartments and found nothing but bottles of Sake and lottery tickets, showing the old man's stuff was likely cleared out and Tsunade was using them.
'Damn, and here I was hoping for something good… wait what's that?' Naruto thought as he opened one of the bottom drawers and felt something in the very back.
Frowning, Naruto reached behind the drawer and grabbed what was back there. Pulling it out, Naruto was confused when he saw it was a red scroll and a letter. Though his confusion soon turned to shock when he saw that the swirl on the scroll was the same as the one on his jacket and that letter was addressed to… him?!
'What? Why is this addressed to me and why does this scroll have the swirl like on my jacket? Are they from the old man before he died? No that wouldn't make sense, why would they be hidden instead of just given to me? Does that mean they're from my, my parents?' Naruto thought hopefully.
But while he was hopeful that they were from his parents, he also felt betrayed. These were hidden in the Hokage's desk, meaning the old man had known about them and yet never gave them to him, with Tsunade probably knowing as well, given how long she's been Hokage and she still never gave them to him.
Naruto wanted to go find Tsunade and get some answers, but he also wanted to see what his parents left him. Pocketing the scroll, Naruto opened the letter to see what it said.
To my little Maelstrom,
This is your Kaa-chan, Kushina Uzumaki, if you're reading this then that means something had gone wrong and the Kyuubi somehow escaped its seal, and I died. I wrote this if such a thing happened and you were kept in the dark about certain things, as well as to tell you a secret that no one knows, but me. I just want you to know that no matter what, you are my son and I love you more than anything.
Alright, first off my name is Kushina Uzumaki, which I already told you, and originally I was from Uzushiogakure, home of the Uzumaki Clan, our clan, but what was brought to Konoha for the purpose of becoming the next Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune as the previous host, Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the Shodaime Hokage, was reaching the end of her life.
For the first few years of my time in Konoha, I wasn't exactly liked due to being seen as foreigner and because my red hair. But even back then I was known for my temper and beating up anyone that insulted me or called me a tomato. It wasn't until I became a Genin that I had been kidnapped by Kumogakure Ninja to be brought to Kumo for… unspeakable thing. Thankfully before they reached Kumo I was rescued, as I had been secretly pulling strands of my hair as a trail, by one of my classmates Minato Namikaze, someone I thought of as rather weak and girly even. He was the only one to pick up on my trail because he actually admired my red hair, and then I fell in love with him for saving me, accepting me, and liking the one thing I hated about myself, my hair. Since then I loved my hair seeing it as my "red thread of fate" that guided us together.
But over the years, things didn't stay as the picture-perfect romance that I would have liked. While I do care about Minato, at the moment of writing this letter, I can't truthfully say I love him anymore.
It hadn't started out that way, but over the years I had begun to notice that Minato loved Konoha and its people very much, and while I care about protecting Konoha and the villagers, I didn't have the same loyalty to it as Minato did, as I would always see Uzushio as my home, even if it was destroyed. But as the years passed, with the Second and Third Shinobi Wars being waged, as we grew and advanced in rank, I saw that Minato would always focus more on protecting the village as a whole, while doing everything he could for it. And while he maybe didn't mean to, or maybe didn't even notice, he began ignoring me. Sure, he still expressed that he loved me and eventually we even got married, but it felt more like he was just going through the motions of it all, like it was all just a second thought and his focus was always the village. It didn't help when he became Hokage, since that's when he spent more time in his office than at home, with me being lucky to see him at all.
I was hurt and angry, my own husband seemed to just forget he was married, and I started to hate him for it. I finally reached the point where I needed a break when he forgot our anniversary and needed some time to myself.
That's when I met him.
He was tall, charming, mysterious, but he was also dark, vicious, and cruel. But despite that, I found myself drawn to him. Maybe it was the fact I met someone who actual put me first, maybe I wanted to spite Minato for putting the village over me, I don't know why, but I don't regret meeting him.
After all, he gave me you.
His name is Shendu, that is your father's name.
This is the part where it gets hard to believe, Shendu might have looked like a man, but he was really a demon. Not a physical manifestation of Chakra like the Tailed Beasts, but a real, genuine demon.
From what he told me, or at least what I managed to pry out of him through sheer stubbornness, he had been banished to the Netherworld and was attacked by his siblings as punishment for failing to release them from their prison. Given that Shendu was just a powerless spirit at the time, there was nothing he could do. Then one day, with not even Shendu knowing how, he managed to escape the Netherworld and arrived in the Elemental Nations, where he took a human host body, which he then modified to his standards. While also having no shame in admitting he fully intended to conquer this world, before returning to conquer his as well. Then he met me, and you know what happened next.
He once told me he admired my inner fire and even said once he regained his full power, and conquered both worlds, I'd be his queen. He didn't even ask, he just said I'd be his queen, still not sure how I feel about that.
Then one day he just, vanished. No goodbyes, no warnings, he just vanished. I can only assume he had been forcefully returned to the Netherworld and never found a way back. It would be a week later that I learned I was pregnant with you, and not wanting anyone to find out what happened, I lied and passed you off as Minato's son. I'm not ashamed of the lie, only caring that you were safe.
But there it is Naruto, you are the son of a Demon Sorcerer, but do NOT under any circumstances believe that is how you define yourself. No matter what, you are my son and whatever you choose to do or what you become, I will always love you.
I just hope I can tell you all this in person, Kami I hope you never have to read this. But if the worst happened and I do die, then I hope one day you'll be able to somehow meet your father.
All my love,
Kushina Uzumaki
P.S. I didn't agree to make Jiraiya your godfather, but Minato was insistent.
P.S.S. If he tries turning you into a pervert, light him on fire.
P.S.S.S. The scroll with the letter contains copies of all my Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu knowledge, everything Shendu told me about Chi magic, and copies of all of Minato's Jutsu as well.
Naruto stared at the letter numbly as he read it once, twice, thrice. But it never changed, this letter from his Kaa-san, Kushina Uzumaki, telling him everything he wanted to know.
It just wasn't what he was expecting.
First, the Yondaime Hokage, the same man that sealed the Kyuubi in him, was his stepfather.
Second, his birth father was a genuine demon from a different world.
Third, his Kaa-san actually had a child with a demon from another world.
And fourth… Naruto honestly wasn't sure if there was a fourth, but wasn't sure about a lot of things at the moment.
He was stuck between joy at finally knowing who his parents are, even if one was a demon, and anger at being lied to his entire life. Or partly lied to, since the old man likely didn't know the truth of his true heritage.
So numbly, Naruto pocketed the letter and scroll, put the office back to the way it was and returned to his apartment, hoping to sort out his scattered thoughts.
*End Flashback*
In the end, Naruto's anger at being lied to had won out, and he came to a single conclusion.
He was getting the hell out of Konoha.
It may seem like a rash decision, but if he stayed here, Naruto wasn't sure if he'd be able to stop himself from doing anything foolish. And while Naruto didn't want to leave his friends without an explanation, the past couple of days since he learned the truth, he had a rather depressing realization.
He didn't have any friends.
It was a bitter pill to swallow, but all the other rookies they weren't his friends, they were hardly even acquaintances; given they either saw him as the deadlast, laughed at his dream of being Hokage, or just ignored him. Even his own team couldn't be considered friends, Sakura always hitting and yelling at him for the littlest of things, Kakashi never bothered to train him, even passing him off to that closest pervert Ebisu, and Satsuki, he thought she was a friend, but then she shoved a Chidori into his chest.
No friends, no family, Naruto really had no reason to stay in Konoha.
'I stopped Gaara while nearly dying in the process, I brought Tsunade back nearly dying in the process, and I brought Satsuki and nearly died doing that also! Not to mention the fact that everyday I'm keeping this village standing by holding the damn fox, and yet I'm hated for it! Well not anymore!' Naruto thought as his anger grew and resolve strengthened.
He's risked his life several times for this village, stopping Gaara from killing them all and bringing Tsunade back to become Hokage, and yet he's still not acknowledged.
Not anymore, from now on, Naruto's going to be looking out for the only one that matters, himself!
Once everything was packed, Naruto took off his headband and the necklace Tsunade gave him and put them on his table, he then went to leave but stopped momentarily. Getting out a pen and paper Naruto scribbled down a short note before creating a Shadow Clone.
"Go." Naruto said, handing the note to the clone, with it already knowing where to leave it.
With that, Naruto went to leave but as he exited his apartment, he got a smirk.
'Well, since I'm sure no one will miss it that much.' Naruto thought, deciding to make a quick detour before leaving.
He just wanted to grab a going away present. Or is it re-steal a going away present?
*Timeskip-Two Days*
'Hm, it's ironic that I stopped Satsuki from leaving here, and now it's where I'll be leaving, except I'm making sure no one can bring me back.' Naruto thought as he stood on the bank of the river that divided the Valley of the End
Pulling the Forbidden Scroll, which he had stolen for the second time, off his back; Naruto opened it up and went through the Jutsu listed, knowing which one he was looking for.
'And there it is, the Space-Time Rift Jutsu.' Naruto thought, with a smirk.
This was a Jutsu he'd noticed when he first stole the scroll, and after mastering the Shadow Clone Jutsu. In fact, if Iruka hadn't arrived when he did, Naruto likely would have tried it, just out of sheer curiosity.
Unfortunately, the Jutsu was also untested given the user had no way of choosing where, or even when, they might end up. They could accidently teleport themselves into a volcano or a glacier. Thankfully, it was also theorized that if the user had something to help select a set destination, such as to a person or place, then it should be safe to use.
'And I have something not originally from this world.' Naruto thought, while pulling out an old and worn scroll.
If his Kaa-san was really telling the truth and this Shendu, his father, really was a demon from another world, then this should take Naruto straight to him.
Or at the very least to the world he inhabited.
'Let's just hope it doesn't take me to him, if he's still trapped.' Naruto thought.
He didn't fancy the idea of being trapped in the Netherworld with demons that could likely, and probably will, tear him apart. His own aunts and uncles included.
Shaking those thoughts for now, Naruto placed the scroll down and went through several handseals before slamming his hand on the ground creating a white seal that spread out with the scroll in the middle before turning a dark green color, as a swirling green portal opened up on the ground.
Quickly grabbing the Chi Scroll and the Forbidden Scroll before they could fall into the portal, Naruto prepared to jump in, only to stop when heard the sound of multiple footsteps approaching. Glancing back, Naruto saw his now ex-comrades running towards him.
Giving them one last smirk, Naruto allowed himself to fall backwards into the portal, which closed the moment he fell through.
*Earth*
Naruto wasn't sure on how long he had been going through the portal, only that when he came out, he was in a very different location than where he was before. He was in a forest, but not one he recognized in the Land of Fire. While most would simply believe they were teleported to another part of the Elemental Nations, Naruto knew he was no longer in the Elemental Nations for one simple reason.
He couldn't sense any Chakra here, besides his own.
'That means it worked.' Naruto thought smiling, feeling relieved that he managed to both escape the Elemental Nations and didn't end up accidently killing himself.
But now that he has arrived in this new world, he had a completely new set of problems. The foremost being that he was now in a world he knew nothing about. Thankfully, this problem is easily solved by going to a library and studying up on the world.
'After that… I'll figure it out later.' Thought Naruto, as he got up and started running through the forest until he found a road that would lead him to civilization.
Though one thing's for sure, he's not going to be a doormat for anyone in this world, like he was in Konoha.
*Timeskip-Four Years*
Just on the edge of the Bay of Biscay, is a private island owned by retired businessman turned hobbyist villain by the name of Señor Senior, Senior.
On the beach of the island, a black and green speedboat could be seen parked there, when suddenly someone teleported onto the beach.
The person in question was a young teenage boy, given the height and build; wearing a black bodysuit with a red x on his left pectoral, an ash-grey utility belt with matching gloves with red x's on the palms and back of the hands, a pair of black boots with steel-soles, a black cape with an ash grey interior, and a black helmet mask with a white skull design on the front, with a red x on the forehead crossing through the right eye and white reflective lenses.
This was the renowned thief, Red X, most known for being an enemy of the Teen Titans and having taken them down on numerous occasions or eluded their attempts to capture him.
Taking off his helmet, revealing nonother than Naruto himself, the thief looked at the speedboat with a raised brow.
'Huh, guess the other tutor's already here.' Naruto thought, remembering that Señor Senior, Senior said he had hired him and someone else.
Shrugging, Naruto put his mask back on and made his way to the backyard, where he was told to meet them at.
On his way there, Naruto's mind drifted to the four years since he first arrived in this world.
'Still hard to believe that four years have already passed.' Thought Naruto.
When he made it to the nearest city, which he later learned was New York City, he'd gone to the closest library after closing hours, and broke in. Once inside, he created dozens of Shadow Clones and ordered them to read up on the recent history of Earth, before dispelling.
Naruto really did love learning about the memory feedback of Shadow Clones, it made things so much easier.
After reading up the recent history of the Earth, including the emergence of superheroes, actual superheroes, Naruto went about learning about technology, the layout of the different countries, and anything else he needed to know.
On the subject was the superheroes, the Justice League, the Teen Titans, and other similar groups, Naruto was less than impressed with them. Sure, at some point Naruto would have loved nothing more than to join, but now he just sees a bunch of people dressed in tights that acted like they're making a difference, when really all they're doing is nothing.
What good is locking up supervillains if they're just going to breakout in a few days and continue hurting people. Lunatics like the Joker, Scarecrow and even Lex Luthor would never change, and frankly the world would be better off with them dead. Unfortunately, no one had the guts to do it, and the superheroes sure weren't going to step up to the plate.
Naruto himself would have gladly done it, but he didn't want to be hunted by the League, and he was done being the hero.
A year and a half later, Naruto had settled down in Jump City, home of the Teen Titans, and heard about someone called Red X. It took some doing, and exploring the darker side of the city, but Naruto was finally able to learn that Red X was in fact the leader of the Titans, Robin.
This led to Naruto pulling a rather daring heist of breaking into Titans Tower and stealing the Red X suit. After all, why let such a nice suit go to waste locked up in a vault?
From that moment, Naruto became the thief, Red X, looking out for number one, and love every moment of it. He didn't play by anyone's rules but his own, he messed with the kids every chance he could, usually Robin, and he was finally free. Though that didn't mean he was a villain, he was just on his side and no one else's.
Though he did join the Brotherhood of Evil, mostly because they offered him a new Xenothium power-core after Robin stole the original right out from under his nose.
'Thankfully I upgraded this one with Fuinjutsu. Now I have no worries of it running out or being stolen again.' Naruto thought smirking.
He didn't stay with the Brotherhood long though, just long enough to get what he wanted from them. In fact, after evening the score with Robin for saving him in Ding Dong Daddies race, he left Jump City all together. Finding that it was getting boring after staying in one place for so long.
Plus, he didn't want to deal with the power-vacuum that would most likely form there, since the Titan's entire Rogue Gallery is now incarcerated with the fall of the Brotherhood of Evil, along with Doctor Light being arrested not long after. Probably one of the funniest arrests that the Teen Titans did, since from what he heard, the Light-based Villain just fainted while soiling himself, after seeing how vastly outnumbered he was.
Naruto had also managed to discover what happened to his father, after he vanished from the Elemental Nations. It was by hacking into Section 13, the secret government group usually involved with plots related to his father, that Naruto learned Shendu was banished to the Netherworld after being tricked by his half-brother, and wasn't that surprising to learn he had a brother from the future no less. Drago tricked him and pulled the Demon Sorcerer into a portal created by the Chi Wizards Tohru and Uncle in a banishing spell for Drago and his minions.
Personally, Naruto wasn't that broken up about it, while he would have liked to at least meet his father, he wasn't going to shed any tears for him or his brother. Plus, from the Section 13 files, Shendu wasn't known for being loyal or trustworthy to others, even his own family; while Drago was rather hot-headed and likely wouldn't have welcomed him with open arms.
Aside from all that, Naruto's also continued training his Ninja skills and learning to use Chi Magic; specifically, Dark Chi Magic, which he had an affinity for, given his heritage. He's also learned and mastered several different forms of Martial Arts, both to have a diverse selection to use and to make sure he never used the same style twice against enemies.
He also learned a couple interesting things that he could do, but he didn't use those abilities much, preferring to use them as a last resort.
Now here he was, four years later, now seventeen-years-old, and having made a name for himself, both as a thief and a mercenary.
Which leads him to why he was on Señor Senior, Senior's island. He had been contacted by the man to help tutor his son in being a better villain, along with mentioning a second tutor that he hired as well.
'And there's the man himself.' Thought Red X, spotting Señor Senior, Senior in the backyard standing by the pool, who also noticed the thief's arrival.
"Ah, Mr. X, I presume, thank you for coming. I am Señor Senior, Senior." Said Senior with his hand held out, which Red X shook.
"Red X. Sorry for being late, I was held up by something important." Red X said, with his voice being modulated thanks to the helmet, while Senior simply waving it off.
"Think nothing of it my boy, your fellow tutor only just arrived and has already taken Junior in to begin his lessons. If you wish, I can show you where." Offered Senior, while Red X smirked under his mask.
'Already started, huh. Good, this'll let me see just who I'm working with.' Red X thought, as he wanted to see who he'll be working.
"Actually, if it's alright with you sir, I'd like to first see who I'll be working with." Said Red X.
Senior nodded while smirking slightly, seeing the hidden meaning behind his words.
"Of course, of course. Though do be careful, your fellow tutor can be rather… volatile." Senior said, knowing that Shego is someone who can be rather terrifying when angered.
If anything, that made Red X's smirk widened, now even more eager to see who he'll be working with.
With that, Red X went inside and immediately jumped with his feet sticking to the ceiling, while his entire body turned invisible. Now unseen and silent, Red X went about sneaking towards the two signatures of his fellow tutor and Señor Senior, Junior. While Red X couldn't sense Chakra, he did learn to sense the lifeforce of living creatures.
The one he guessed was Junior didn't feel that particularly strong, while the other one was the complete opposite, being the most powerful on the island, besides Red X himself, but also feeling rather strange. It radiated a heat, not like fire, but more like plasma.
This only made Red X even more excited to test the other tutor, as the only times he's sensed someone's energy like that is against humans with powers.
Entering the room, Red X saw Junior and his fellow tutor, and Red X really liked what he saw.
It was a woman, probably in her early twenties, with long black hair, dark green eyes, pale skin with a green tint, and with fully mature figure, mile long legs, a nice proportioned and heart-shaped ass, and large D-cup breasts that were oddly enough well hidden under her skintight green and black catsuit that hugged her nicely in all the right places.
'I'm loving this job more by the second.' Thought Red X, as he liked what he saw.
Though just because she was hot, didn't mean Red X was going to take it easy on her.
Focusing back on the task at hand, Red X saw that he arrived just as the woman, Shego he guessed her name was given it was written on the chalkboard, destroyed the music player that Junior was listening to.
"Now, the first thing that every villain need is...?" Shego trailed off, wanting to see if Junior knew.
"I know this one. An evil laugh." Junior stated with his arms crossed and a bored expression.
"Oh, for cryin' out...! Your old man has totally warped your mind." Shego retorted, feeling she has her work cut out for her.
"Try again."
"Er, a villainous calling card? A robust tan? Spinning tops of doom?" Junior asked while cowering away as Shego raised her hand, as if ready to break something else.
"You're going to slash something again, aren't you?" Junior said fearfully.
Shego growled in anger, before physically pushing her arm back down so she didn't blast him.
"The first thing that every villain needs, is the basic tools of the trade." Said Shego.
'And there's my que.' Red X thought, kicking off the ceiling, straight towards Shego.
Before Shego could even register that someone managed to sneak up on her, Red X delivered a jump kick to her abdomen sending her crashing into the blackboard behind her, with Junior giving a short scream of surprise and fear at his appearance.
"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to disagree on that sweetheart." Red X said, before turning to Junior, who flinched at the rather terrifying mask.
"The first thing every villain needs, is to always be aware of your surroundings, otherwise you leave yourself open to an attack. Observe." Red X said, before throwing an X-shuriken at a ball of plasma aimed at his head, causing it to explode.
"Oh buddy, you just made your last stupid mistake!" Shego growled as her hands were surrounded by her plasma.
She was already angry at having to teach this buffoon, Junior, how to be a villain, even if his daddy's paying her a lot of money, but now with this guy suddenly appearing and attacking her…
Yeah, Shego was definitely beyond pissed off.
"Let's dance sweetheart." Said Red X said, while getting in a stance.
"… I'm going to enjoy far more than I should." Shego said, before jumping at him with a roar.
Red X ducked and dodged under various kicks and swipes, before finally deciding to go on the offensive.
"My turn." Said Red X, as he grabbed Shego's wrist when she tried slashing at his head, and throwing her over him and towards the wall.
While surprised at the display of strength, Shego was quick to right herself and turn in the air, allowing her to kick off the wall and launch several blasts of plasma at her opponent.
Dodging the plasma blasts, Red X held up his hands as a large Restrictive X shot out towards Shego. Though rather than wrapping around Shego, or trapping her against the wall, she slashed her hand down the middle of the X, but left herself open for another jump kick.
Or would have, had she not grabbed Red X's ankle and, using his momentum against him, slammed the thief into the ground.
"I don't fall for the same trick twice." Shego said, while holding her hand up, ready to launch another plasma blast, only to suddenly find herself pressed against the ground with her arms held behind her back.
"Then it's a good thing I'm full of surprises." Said Red X, with Shego looking at him in surprise at seeing that he was the one holding her down.
Looking at the one she slammed into the ground, Shego saw it suddenly vanish in a puff of smoke.
'What?! Does he have a power similar to the twins', or something?' Shego wondered, not expecting to see someone with a power like the Wegos'.
"Now then sweetheart, are you going to behave, or do I have to get rough?" Red X asked as he twisted Shego's arms, while she glared at him.
"Call me sweetheart again, and I'll melt your face! Who are you anyway?" Shego questioned, not recognizing him as one of Senior's associates or hired help.
"Red X, I take it that Senior didn't tell you; he hired me as well, to tutor his son." Said Red X, getting off Shego, who stood up rubbing her wrists.
"No, he did. I just didn't believe he'd need two people to help. But seeing the idiot in person…" Shego trailed off as she looked at Junior, who was cowering behind a pillar when the two started fighting.
"Yeah… by the way, sorry about the surprise attack. But I wanted to see who I would be working with and I have to say… I am impressed." Red X said.
"Hmph, you're not bad yourself." Said Shego, admitting that the guy is good and unpredictable.
"Well, may I have the lovely ladies name?" Asked Red X, with his hand held out, like a gentleman.
Sure, he already knew her name, but he also wanted to ask.
"Shego. Surprised you're working for Señor Senior, Senior and haven't heard of me." Shego said, while reluctantly shaking his hand, still peeved at being attacked.
"A lovely name for an even lovelier lady. I'm Red X." Said Red X, lowering his head as if to kiss her hand, despite wearing his mask.
"Charmer, are we? Well X… here's a warning…" Shego said, gripping his hand tightly as it lit up with her plasma, not hot enough to burn him, but hot enough to get her message across.
"…If you piss me off again, I'll show you why people shouldn't play with fire!" Shego hissed, hoping to intimidate him.
Though Red X simply smirked under his masked before, to the surprise of Shego, pulling her against him.
"And what if I like playing with fire?" Red X asked in a flirting tone, with Shego surprised that he wasn't showing any discomfort from her powers or was just really good at hiding it.
While still angered at his sneak attack, Shego decided to play along and even turned up her plasma's heat wanting to see just how much he can take.
"Then I'd say you're either brave or crazy." Shego said smirking.
"Or, I just know what I want." Red X flirted.
"Hmhmhm, how about you take that mask off and we'll see if you've got what it takes." Shego replied coyly, tracing a finger along his helmet, only to be surprised when he suddenly turned her around, with her back now pressed against his chest.
"Ah, but where'd the fun be in that. Why not have you wonder about it, become curious of what's under the mask, after all, the best part of the game is the chase, not the prize itself." Red X whispered in Shego's ear.
"You're just full of surprises, aren't you?" Said Shego, really enjoying the flirting.
"Oh, trust me sweetheart, you haven't seen anything yet." Red X stated, while moving his hands down to her hips.
Okay, Shego had to admit he's really good, both in and out of fighting.
"Uh, excuse me. Does this mean the lesson is over for today?" Junior asked, hoping to get away from these two scary people.
Being reminded of his presence, along with the reason they were both here, the two thieves separated from each other and looked at Junior.
"Nope, we're just getting started. Now, we're all going on a little field trip." Shego said, getting back to the plan she had before Red X showed up.
"Sweet, where are we hitting?" Asked Red X, causing Shego to look at him with a smirk.
"Ah, ah, ah. The best part of the game is the chase, not the prize." Shego said, using his own words against him.
"Touché sweetheart." Said Red X, smirking under his mask.
*Later-Europe*
Red X, Shego, and Junior, the latter two now wearing black burglar clothes, jumped across rooftops before landing on a roof with some skylight.
"Could we not just buy these items?" Junior asked, holding the list of items they were going to steal, as he climbed onto the roof.
"N-n-no. Criminals don't buy anything. Besides, this gives you something money can't buy... experience." Shego said, before slashing the lock off the window and opening it.
"Yep. And besides, why buy something, when you can simply take it?" Said Red X, with Shego smirking as she gave a nod in agreement as they jumped down.
*Timeskip-Three Days*
"Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. OK, hair care was not on the list." Shego said, while glaring at Junior, as she looked at the pile of hair gel.
"I have the cowlick issues." Said Junior, while a running a hand across his head to emphasize his point.
"Yeah, fine. Whatever. At least you stole money." Shego said to Red X, who had indeed robbed all the places they went to, while Shego and Junior got the supplies.
"Hey, I don't need rope or fancy goggles." Said Red X.
"Yeah well, not all of us can have fancy toys, Skullboy." Shego retorted, having taken to calling him that since he still insisted on calling her sweetheart.
"OK, you're ready for the next and most important step. Every villain needs an evil plot. Take Drakken. His plot, yeah, always taking over the world. Always. Despite failing everytime." Shego said, knowing Drakken's plans either blow up in his face or they are stopped by the Princess.
"Oooh, can we do that?!" Junior asked eagerly.
"No, you gotta walk before you can run, sport. Let's start small." Said Shego, while putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh! How about more thieving?" Suggested Junior, while waving his hand.
"Good answer. It would have to be something valuable and heavily guarded. Let's see. Almost got something. Hold on. No, no. Don't say a word. It's on the tip of my tongue. I got it." Shego said in concentration.
Red X just shrugged, the only time he planned something big was when he needed more Xenothium for his suit, before he applied those seals to the new power-core that he got from the Brotherhood of Evil. As he'd prefer to not draw too much attention onto himself.
Just then Señor Senior, Senior entered the room
"Hello! I thought I'd see how you kids are doing." Said Senior, while smiling at his son, with Red X waving at the elderly man.
Over the past few days when Red X wasn't out stealing with Shego and Junior, or flirting with the former, he had gotten to know his client. And he had to say, Señor Senior, Senior was a pretty cool guy, and really all he wanted was to spend more time with his son and bond over shared interests.
"I lost it." Shego stated, losing her train of thought.
"Oh, Father!"
"If I've come at a bad time..." Senior said while looking away, with Shego looking at him as she laughed.
"Well, yeah. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you know what? Thanks for stoppin' by!" Shego said, before guiding him out the room, with Red X frowning at how she was treating the guy who had been nothing but hospitable to them.
Not to mention the fact that he was also the one paying them.
"Maybe we just run the web search for "really valuable" and "heavily guarded"." Suggested Junior.
"O... K." Shego said, doubting that would work.
"I am learning from the best." Junior reminded.
Red X watched with a raised brow as they looked over what Junior managed to find.
"Yes! Sweet!" Shego suddenly said.
'Huh, must be something pretty valuable.' Red X thought, while taking a look at the screen to see what they'll be stealing.
Only to immediately resist the urge to facepalm at just what they had decided on.
*Timeskip-Three Days*
Three days have passed since Shego and Junior had decided on what to steal, with Shego training Junior to be ready for their heist. Naruto though, had sat out on the training and decided against going on the heist for several reasons.
The first being how Shego kept pushing aside his ideas and suggestions, while he wasn't going, that didn't stop him from giving his own two cents, in favor of her own. This honestly pissed Naruto off, having had enough of people brushing him off back in the Elemental Nations, and while he thinks Shego is still pretty cool, he wasn't going to let her walk all over him. Which is why he didn't tell her about what Señor Senior, Senior did.
Perhaps some time in jail could teach her some humility.
Another reason was how she and Junior constantly brushed Señor Senior, Senior aside and shoved him out the room, whenever he showed up to check on his son's training, or just to try and bond with him. As again, he's the guy paying them, but also, he didn't like the fact Junior was brushing his father off.
While Naruto doubted that if he ever met his own father, they'd have the best relationship, but Naruto also wouldn't just brush Shendu off, if he tried to get to know him.
"I'm really sorry about how Shego and Junior kept shoving you out." Naruto said with his mask currently off, as he sat across from Señor Senior, Senior with them both holding poker cards.
Though Naruto did make sure to disguise his face with the Transformation jutsu; as he currently had a lighter skin-tone, smooth brown hair that is slicked back, amber eyes, and his cheeks devoid of their usual whisker-marks. While Señor Senior, Senior may be his client, with Naruto having taken a liking to the old man, it doesn't mean he trusts him with his secret identity.
"Think nothing of it my boy. I have ensured that they will get what they deserve for being so rude." Senior said, maintaining his poker face.
"That I can agree on. Failure is good for learning some humility." Said Naruto, looking at his cards and saw what he had.
4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of hearts. He had a 6 and 3 of hearts, a straight flush, he knew nothing could beat it, but he liked playing with the old man. Hearing a helicopter take off, signaling Shego and Junior were leaving, he folded his cards as Senior smiled and revealed his hand, a flush.
"I knew your luck would run out eventually, my friend." Senior said, pulling the chips over to his side.
"Well, I'd love to keep playing, but I wanna see how this goes down." Naruto said, while standing up and putting his helmet back on.
Giving a two-finger salute he pressed his teleporter button and was gone a moment later.
*Later-Granny Crocket's Cookie Headquarters*
Red X sighed as he watched Shego and Junior sneak into the factory, sure he'll admit they really planned for everything, but they should still be on guard for anything unexpected. If they had actually listened to him, they'd be aware of the fact that someone had set a trap for them, that someone being Kim Possible and her sidekick, Ron Stoppable.
Like what just happened when Shego saw the fake recipe.
"The recipe? Rufus, go!" Kim said, as the naked mole rat gave a salute, before jumping down to trigger the motion sensors.
However, before he hit the ground Red X shot a small Adhesive X at him, that restrained Rufus to the wall.
"Rufus!" Ron shouted in worry for his friend, though this left him open for another Adhesive X to restrain him as well.
"What the- hey!" Shego shouted, when suddenly both she and Junior were trapped as well.
"And I'll be taking this." Red X said, while flipping over Kim's head, grabbing the recipe out of her hands and landing outside the vault.
"What the?! Who are you?!" Kim said in shock at this stranger's sudden appearance, especially since there hadn't been reports of a third unknown thief.
"Red X. And if you want this recipe back, you're gonna have to take it." Red X said, while pocketing the recipe.
"X?! What the hell are you doing?!" Shego demanded, wondering why he trapped them as well.
"Consider it a lesson for you both! A lesson in humility!" Said Red X, before running down the hall with Kim in hot pursuit, while making sure to trigger the alarm as she did.
"And everything was going so well." Junior muttered while looking down, while Shego was still growling in anger.
"X! When I get out of here, you are so dead!" Shego shouted as she started heating up the adhesive restraints in a failed attempt to harden and break them.
*With Red X*
Red X ran through a door into the main part of the factory on an elevated walkway, before turning to see Kim right behind.
This was actually Red X's first-time seeing Kim Possible and he had to say, he liked what he saw, just like with Shego. Though Kim was obviously younger than Shego, possibly even a year -or-two-younger than him, but she was surprisingly mature looking for her age.
She had large green eyes, fair skin, a slim but athletic build, high C-cup breasts, and her black midriff-baring mock turtleneck, dark gloves with a thin cuff, green cargo pants, a utility belt, and black shoes that were surprisingly flattering. But what really had Red X's attention was her red hair, while not the bright red his own mother's hair was, it was definitely her best feature. At least in his opinion.
"So, you're the famous Kim Possible, Shego talks about you, mostly how you're such a goody two shoes princess." Said Red X, with Kim frowning at him confusion.
"If you're working with Shego, then why did you attack her and Junior?" Questioned Kim.
"What can I say, I got sick of her attitude and felt a little humility would do her some good." Red X replied.
"Right. Now how about you hand over that recipe, before I take it." Kim said while getting in her stance, with Red X laughing slightly.
"Sorry, but I prefer doing things the fun way." Said Red X as he got into his own stance.
Knowing how this'll go, Kim ran and flipped over him and went to kick him in the back, only for Red X to turn around and grab her leg, throwing her off balance. Planting her hands on the ground, Kim went for another kick to his face this time, with Red X letting go and backflipping away.
"Come on Princess, X marks the spot." Red X taunted while tapping the X symbol on his chest.
Frowning at the taunt, Kim charged forward with a series of punches and kicks, with Red X dodging each of them, before deflecting one her punches and leaned in close.
"That the best you can do? How about we stop and talk things out over dinner, I'm buying." Red X offered.
"Sorry, but I don't date criminals and bad guys." Retorted Kim, before giving another punch that was blocked.
Then Red X stunned Kim when he grabbed her hand in his, while placing his other hand on her waist and dipped her down like they were dancing.
"Oh, that's not nice. I'm not all bad, once you get to know me, and I know I wanna get to know you to." Red X flirted, much to Kim's surprise, as she wondered if this was really happening.
Suddenly, Kim found herself thrown into the air and Red X fired a Restrictive X at her, keeping her restrained to the wall. He then jumped up close and cupped her chin.
"And you know cutie, the only real crime here is that you and I have never been on a date. I can change that if you want." Said Red X, with Kim finding herself at a loss for words, as this was the first time an enemy has flirted her.
Turning his head, Red X heard the sound of approaching footsteps and knew it was time to leave.
"Well sorry to cut this short cutie, but I've got things to do. Until next time, also I love the hair by the way, red's my favorite color." Red X said, before jumping into the air.
"Catch you later, cutie." Said Red X, before he teleported away.
*Later*
Red X watched as Shego jumped out the helicopter driven by Señor Senior, Senior and onto her hoverboard. The moment she did, Red X teleported onto the board in front of her.
"X!" Shego growled, with her hands lighting up, having not forgotten what he did.
"You really wanna do that? Over a thousand feet in the air?" Red X asked with a raised brow, not that she could see it.
"It'd be worth it to watch you go splat!" Retorted Shego, while glaring at him.
"I don't know why you're angry, you had it coming." Said Red X, with his arms crossed.
"And just why is that?" Shego demanded.
"Well let's see, you constantly ignored my suggestions concerning Junior's training, my ideas for the heist, and you've just been a real bitch. So yeah, I'd say you got off lucky compared to what I could have done." Said Red X.
"Well then let's go right now tough guy. Just you and me, no suit or fancy toys. Unless you're scared?" Shego taunted, causing Red X to shake his head.
"You still don't get it. I don't need this suit, I just use it because it makes things more interesting. In fact, I didn't even make this suit, I stole it from Titans Tower, right out from under Robin's nose." Said Red X.
This surprised Shego, having believed he made the suit and all the gadgets, but to hear he stole it from the partner of Batman, now that's something she didn't expect.
"I got past all their security measures, got into Robin's vault, took the suit for myself, and they have never been able to figure out just who I am. The fact that you acted like I was some novice pissed me off. How would you like it if I talked down to you?" Red X said, with Shego frowning, knowing that if anyone talked down to her, she'd likely knock them down hard.
"If you're expecting an apology, don't hold your breath." Said Shego, as she never apologized.
"I wasn't. Just letting you know for the next time we work together." Said Red X, while smirking under his mask, with Shego detecting the same flirting tone he's used before and knew they were back at it.
"Oh, and what makes you think there'll be a next time?" Shego asked smirking, with Red X walking up to her until they inches apart.
"Like I said before, I just know what I want, and I don't stop until I have it." Red X said, before putting something in Shego's hand and jumping off the board, surprising Shego.
Looking down, Shego didn't see a trace of Red X anywhere. Looking at her hand, she saw he had handed her an odd shaped dagger with three points and a wooden handle, with what she recognized as Japanese symbols written on it. There was also a note:
If you ever need me, stab this into the ground and I'll be there in a flash.
X
Looking over the edge of her board, Shego couldn't help but giggle. Oh, she's still angry at him trapping her, but she did enjoy the flirting and banter between them. And oddly enough, she's actually looking forward to working with him again.
'Better get back before Dr. D somehow blows himself up.' Shego thought, before steering her hoverboard in the direction of Drakken's current lair.
*Timeskip- Two Days*
*With Kim*
Kim sighed as she headed to her locker. She had decided to keep Home Economic after finally managing to understand what Ron meant by being one with the machine. But she had been distracted lately, ever since getting back from Granny Crocket's. It had been after Shego and Junior were taken away that Kim had noticed something in her pocket, before pulling it out, with it revealing to be the cookie recipe, much to her surprise, as she was sure Red X had stolen it.
The only solution she could think of was that he had, at one point, slipped it in during their fight.
This has led to the reason for her distraction. Why did he give the recipe back? Why did he hit on her and ask her out while they were fighting? And why did he feel the need to compliment her hair?!
All these questions have been plaguing her and she just couldn't come up with an answer.
Kim was pulled from her thoughts when she saw something attached to her locker.
"Huh, what's this?" Kim wondered, before grabbing it.
She was surprised to find it was a single red rose with a note attached to it.
I meant what I said, I do like your hair and I would like to get to know you, if you'd let me.
There wasn't a name, only a red X saying who it was from.
Kim looked at the rose and note, even more confused than before.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has come across some startling revelations about himself, even one no one else knew. Rather than being the son of Minato Namikaze, he's the son of the Keeper of the Talismans, the Apocalypse Spoken of in Legends, the Demon Sorcerer of Fire, the one the only Shendu! Which also makes Drago his half-brother. After learning all this Naruto's left the Elemental Nations for Earth with him now being the master thief himself, Red X, and now he's left Jump City to become a thief/mercenary and now has his eyes set on two lovely ladies, the plasma using villainess Shego and the girl who can do anything Kim Possible. One things for sure, things are definitely getting more interesting with Naruto around. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
