Alternate Dimensions: Rise of Akatsuki
Chapter 6
Ok….here is a poll for you all. Should I put Supergirl in this story or should I later make a story were it is just a Naruto/Supergirl story as part of my Alternate Dimensions series? Please vote at the end. I do have an idea as to how I would put her in.
Naruto and his group had become very popular in western part of the United States. Akatsuki and his group called the Maelstrom were on the tongues of a lot of people nowadays. They even ran into a teen named Static. They teamed up to defeat what Static called the Evil Bang Babies. That was a fun time for the group as they got to see different powers in other people.
During that time, Naruto had learned a lot more about the world as a whole. He now knew that Japan was way different than the one he was born in. He learned about the super hero group called the Justice League that had a man that could very well lift an entire building. Now he was not sure he himself could do that but he could honestly say that the Justice League was the big time indeed. Of course there were other super hero groups and he was glad to be in one of them, as he was having the time of his life beating up the baddies every now and then. Sometimes people would even pay for his group's services!
His relationship with Terra had gone quite well so far, though her and Blackfire usually fought for some reason….he could never figure it out though. Danielle was her normal self and she usually cooked them things to eat and helped Naruto break apart the girls when they got too into the fight. She was sort of like the mother figure of the group as Naruto had sometimes called her mom.
At the moment, the group was in South Dakota. Naruto had been in this new land for exactly a year and was happy. He had gained bits of his memories but not all of it. All the helping people in every city they came to had taken a lot of time, so he was now 14, almost 15 and he could not be happier as he was on the roof of the wooden house they all live in. Terra was in his arms as they sat down and just stared at the night sky.
"I can't believe it has only been a year since we all meet." Terra said with a smile.
"Yeah, one of year of new experiences. One year of helping out people we don't really know." Naruto said with a chuckle at the end.
"Oh you liked it and you know it."
"Yeah I did. " Naruto paused, "I am glad whatever happened to me in my old world that sent me here. I don't think I would have meet you and the others if it didn't happen."
"Yep." Terra smirked. "And my control has gotten really good! I am now ok with water walking!"
"Got that right but I have noticed that your powers are connected to you emotions, so make sure to control those in battle as well." Naruto stated.
"Oh I will." Terra said as she turned around in the embrace and pushed Naruto on his back. She then processed to make out with him, groping and stuff. They continued this for half the night, all the while Naruto got the sinking feeling that something bad was going to happen soon.

The next day, the four were on the road again as they were heading east to see the sights. Naruto wanted to visit Miami, Florida. However, as they were passing into Iowa, they saw a figure in the distance, seemingly just waiting for them. At first, Naruto thought it was one of Vlad's annoying henchmen that tried to kill him every now and then, but as they got closer, it was clear that it was not one of them.
The man they saw had an odd blue shirt that could be mistaken for a Chinese shirt as it was in that style and was outlined in white. He also wore blue pants and nice black dress shoes. On his belt were various weapons from small knives to short swords. He had a very aristocratic beard as it was neatly trimmed and his black hair was short.
"Hello Akatsuki, it is nice to finally meet you." The man said with a smirk.
"Uh….hi." Naruto replied, a little put off by this huge man's polite behavior even though he could tell they were going to fight soon. "How do you know me and what is it that you want?"
"I am Vandal Savage. I have lived for a long time. I was once very strong, but through the years, I have become weak and I wish to test my strength against you and your team."
"So….you fighting for power?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"But of course, the powerful command the weak, that is how it has been since the dawn of time….heh, I should know, I was born in the time of the cave men." Vandal said with an amused expression when the others had a shocked look on their faced.
"So you're immortal?" Terra asked.
"Quite right." Vandal said with a smirk, "And if I wish to take over this land someday, I must regain my strength."
Naruto growled, this guy was just another power hungry ass. He maybe old but that gives him an advantage in experience. "For the sake of the world, I guess we will have to beat you!" Naruto said as he got into a fighting stance as a few of his rings began to glow and he gained the Rinnengan with a Mangekyo Sharingan in the background of it. He had also activated his immortal rings as well, not sure how strong this old guy was.
"Ready girls?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Mirage sighed.
"Oh yeah!" Both Terra and Blackfire shouted with smirks.
"Then let's get wild!" Naruto yelled as he charged Vandal.
Meanwhile Terra used her power to raise the battle ground up to pretty high height. That way, Vandal had a harder time of escaping when things got bad for him. Vandal however just smirked at Naruto's stupidity. "You should never blindly charge into a fight where you know nothing of your opponent!"
Naruto eyes widened when Vandal used pure speed to disappear and then reappear behind him. The man then back handed the blond to the edge of the battle zone. He sweated as that was long fall if he did fall. Wait….Superstrength? He calls that weak! He must want to be stronger then superman or something like that…..i got a bad feeling…
Blackfire decided to come in at that point and sent a few black star bolts that the freak of nature. Surprisingly, the man caught them and sent them back at her. She was at first shocked that someone other than Naruto could do that, which quickly wore away so that she could survive. She quickly dodged as best she could before charging a huge one thanks to Naruto's seals and her now, normal reserves. "Take this!"
Mirage smiled as Blackfire's attack. She then created some psionic energy arrows with her arms and quickly shot them at Vandal to distance him.
Vandal dodged as best he could with the arrows, but some did get him, not that it mattered as it barely even hurt. He then flipped over Blackfire's attack with ease. He was then surprised by Naruto's new jutsu that he had not seen yet, or from which ring it even came from.
"Banshō Ten'in!" Naruto yelled, attracting the big ball of black energy toward him. Like usual for Naruto he caught the attack, but this time he sent chakra into the sphere and they watched as it turned into a ball and chin type deal.
"Interesting!" Vandal shouted. "You are so interest young Akatsuki!"
"Ya like it? I call this badass attack the Gravity Star Sphere!" Naruto shout as the two charged at one another. Naruto bounce the ball off his hand and sent it right at the man.
Vandal had to jump away as soon as he felt what it could do. "This boy has created an attack that has the ability to push away and pull in things at will. That with the power of the girl's star energy, he has created a mini star….ingenious! the old cave man thought as time after time, he dodged the dangerous sphere of energy.
Blackfire was very impressed as well that Naruto could use one of her attacks and just recreate it in another power attack. Mirage and Terra just gawked Naruto's quick thinking. He was awesome in their spars as he never lost, but in a true battle, his skills were out of this world.
Savage had enough of dodging so he proved his strength but dodging the ball and watched as it passed over him as he bent over. A glow appeared on his foot and he kicked the end near the chain as that was a spot where it was repelling all things. The energy left his foot at that moment and covered the ball before it shimmered out of site. Damn….that technique took more power than usual...
"The hell was that!" Naruto screamed.
Vandal smirked and said, "Boy….that was my inter-dimensional wrap technique. I could not get hit with that technique of yours so I sent it away to another place….not sure where though.

In Jump City, the Titans were trying to capture the annoying Doctor Light again when a weird portal opened up and out came the ball and chain attack. It flattened the light man to a wall. The young titans looked at the attack in shock as it had helped them get the villain a lot quicker. Starfire, however, recognized some of the energy in the odd ball as her sister's black star bolt.
This was just way to confusing, but before they could touch it, it dissipated into nothingness. Raven new both energies quiet well however, Chakra and Blackfire's Star Energy?

"Impressive." Naruto grumbled, now cautious of that attack.
"Yes, it is a useful power." Vandal commented. "Akatsuki….this has been a great battle, but I fear you will be a thorn in my side later, so I will kill you!"
"No!" Mirage said as she created an illusion of the man's greatest fear….him dying. It did not go as planned, instead of getting scared, he went ballistic! He punched the ground so hard that she lost concentration and fell on her ass. He then speed over to her and pulled back his fist to end her. However, Naruto was not through with him.
"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto yelled out while Terra and Blackfire combined their attacks, sending molten lava at him. Now, Vandal was pissed. His clothes were ruined and Akatsuki was more trouble than he was worth.
Naruto saw the old man charging at him again and decided to end this. Naruto made the tiger hand sign and called out, "Amaterasu!"
The Japanese goddess of the sun? Savage asked in his mind but before he ponder it any longer, he saw black flames shot out of one of Naruto's eyes and shoot him in the chest with it. Vandal screamed out in raging pain as he tried slapping himself, but only making it worse. In his rage, he exceeded his speed limits and rushed Naruto in the blink on an eye. He proceeded to beat the living shit out of the blond. Of course Naruto had his immortality rings activated but neither Vandal nor his group knew that.
Terra hated seeing Naruto get hurt and she lost a bit of control each time she fussed over Naruto's wounds when he got hurt when not using his immortality rings. Now picture that with Naruto's new position. She was freaking out and losing all control. The site of her lover dying was too much for her and her powers took a life of their own. The raised battle arena shook violently and as Vandal stepped back a little from Naruto, a huge spike of earth shot out from between Naruto's legs and impaled the cave man through the chest, while somehow snuffing out the black flames.
From Terra's position, however, she thought the spike impaled Naruto as well and she started bawling, making the platform they were on crumble. Mirage quickly ran to Terra before things got out of hand, but the ground underneath her gave away, making her fall to her death. "Mirage!" Blackfire screamed as she rocketed downward to save her friend.
She caught her just in time to see Naruto and Vandal start to fall as well. The duo nodded and shot to Naruto. Blackfire kicked Vandal away as they got close as Mirage smacked Naruto awake. He instantly knew what to do as the platform above them all fell down. Naruto deactivated his other ring to activate the bijuu ring in the first tail mode. He swirled the sand around them to create a hardened barrier around them. As the ball of sand crashed into the ground, the impact created a decent sized crater, that when the debris of the platform fell on top, it looked like that they were crashed.
Terra landed on top of the pile of rocks while try to stay afloat on some random rocks on the way down. She looked around to no one around and looked underneath her to see all the rocks. She cried as she tried to use her powers to lift the rocks but it was too much for her and she started sobbing that she killed them. She then heard a noise a little far off to the right and paled. Through all that, Vandal was still alive as he was slowly getting back up.
I-i can't win….not without them! She thought as she quickly ran away, running west to California. I am sorry guys…I am so sorry Naruto…
Vandal watched the girl run away with tears in her eyes. He smirked as he ripped out the earth spike, his wounds already healing. He then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote something down, and laid down on a rock while leaving the scene. "We will see each other again boy…." He said as he somehow knew that Naruto was not dead yet.
A half hour later, the pile of rocks exploded into sand. Naruto, Danielle, and Blackfire quick got up and looked around. The farmland they had fought in kind of looked like a mini desert now. Naruto looked around for any sign of Terra but could not see anything other than a small piece of paper on a nearby rock. Walking over to it, he read:
Akatsuki, your friend with the earth power is somewhere…I used my wrap power to send her away. I do not know where she will be…or if she is alive. Our battle was interesting to say the least, you are lucky you are not dead…
Until we meet again,
Vandal Savage
"I count on meeting you again." Naruto said aloud as he handed the paper to the girls so they could read it as well.
"Naruto, we have to find her we-" Danielle sputtered out until Naruto cut her off.
"I KNOW, BUT WE HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO LOOK!" Naruto yelled out in frustration, scaring the two girls until they saw the tears in his eyes. They quickly walked up to him and gave him a hug.
As he cried about that she could be dead, they reassured him that she was not and they would fine her one day. Blackfire held onto Naruto tighter as Mirage back off a bit with a smile. "She is not the only one who loves you, you know." Blackfire said with a little courage.
Naruto looked at Blackfire with a sad smile and said, "Thanks." He then hugged her tighter. He knew that Mirage loved Naruto as well, but it was like a mother would since she most took care of them all on their travels. He thought Blackfire loved him in a sisterly type of way because she and Terra always fought over stupid things, like who was going to help him in a fight. He now knew the girls were competing against each other. Deciding right then if he had any more teammates that had an interest in him….he would give them a chance, starting with Blackfire. Be safe Terra. Naruto thought as he looked at the sky while still in the hug with Blackfire.

It has been three months since Terra disappeared and on their way to Miami, Naruto searched in every town along the way. He cared for the girl that much, but he had to let go some time. He had also gotten back all his memories of his past life in the Elemental Counties. It was all thanks to Vandal's savage beating that brought back all those memories of the past. The beating literally jarred him that much to being everything back.
His relationship with Blackfire was going pretty well. Jiriaya would have been giddy to write a book about Naruto's love life since I was kind of hectic. When he told Mirage and Blackfire of his plans to give anyone who was interested in me a chance, Mirage rose an eyebrow and said that he might get a harem that way. Blackfire could not help but laugh at Naruto's flabbergasted expression when they heard that and she smirked with saying that it was ok with her if he did that. He had fainted with a small nosebleed after that.
Now that they were in Miami, Blackfire had the urge to go to a night club. Naturally, thanks to Naruto's henge jutsu, he was able to make them look older. So make themselves not stand out in public tonight, they had decided that a night change in wardrobe was in order. Naruto wore a green and white bucket hat that covered his hair and made it face around his face a little, a white Element skater shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and some black Addis shoes.
Blackfire wore a black short sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans, and some Nike shoes. To Naruto, she looked beautiful no matter what she wore. Mirage looked at the two and smiled. These two were really a good couple in her opinion. "Have fun you two….don't stay out too late!" Danielle called out too the two teen with a smirk.
"Ok mom!" The duo joked.
Once at a club called 'The Craze', they danced their asses off! Of course Naruto had to get some drunken ass perverts off of Blackfire a few times. She was hot after all, but the drunks really annoyed her. After that mess had been taken care of, some really great songs came over the speakers. Blackfire decided to dance like some of the girls in the club, which meant that her back was turned to Naruto and her ass was rubbing against his dick. She smirked in satisfaction when it hardened from her rubbing.
That sent a jolt through both of them because they both got really turned on by this. She turned her head to see that Naruto had a blush on his face and smirked. She like to have fun and tease Naruto a lot but they both knew they were not ready for sex just yet, they were a bit young for that, but she never said they could have a little…fun. No, he didn't do that with Terra and he didn't feel ready to that with Blackfire either.
She led them to a nearby fire escape on the outside of building. Smirking, she smashed her lips to his and started a fierce make out session. Her hand began to travel along his pants, rubbing his member through his pants. His hand traveled under her shirt and groped one of her breasts. His other hand went down her pants, making her moan into the kiss.
Before they could do anything else, they heard a scream that awoke them from their pleasure haze. They turned around and saw the city surrounded in Mist. It also seemed that creatures where killing people! "Come on, we should help them while getting back to Mirage!" Naruto said, going into combat mode.
"Right!" Blackfire shouted as she followed him down the building, the both of them thinking, why can't we get a day off!
Along the way to the hotel they were staying at, they took out weird ass black and purple spiders and some tentacle like creatures that attacked a building. When got to the hotel to see half of it gone and Mirage resting next to the good part of the building. "Mirage, are you ok?" Blackfire shouted when she spotted the girl.
"Yeah, those creatures came right out of the Mist. I mean that Mist just came out of nowhere!" the illusion girl got out.
"Alright, usually mist like this is fog that comes from the water….we should head to the nearby harbor….maybe we will find something." Naruto commanded and they nodded. Rushing to the harbor, they noticed that the Mist was traveling, like it was moving further into the city. Upon reaching the docks, they saw an old man, just staring out in the Mist. "Hey old man!"
The old man reacted by turning his head and waving Naruto and his group toward them. "Hello young ones…are you wondering about the Mist?"
Naruto nodded, noticing this guy was homeless by the look of his clothes. "Yes, can you tell us anything about it?"
"Aye, that I can." The homeless man said. "This is Mist was a product of an old government experiment that went horribly wrong. They wanted to open up a window to see another world…but they had created a door and all this came out. Since then, the Mist has been appearing and with it, those monster I am sure you encountered."
"Where is it coming from and how do we stop it?" Naruto asked.
"I am not sure how to stop it as it goes away on its own usually, but tell what are we close to that would generated some thing as horrifying as the Mist?'
They thought about it for a awhile, but Naruto and Blackfire had no clue as they never heard of something like this. Mirage was the one who got it. "The Bermuda Triangle!"
"Correct…that is where this evil is coming from..from evil itself." The man spoke,
"Ok, I have never heard about this triangle but we should go and investigate." Naruto said aloud.
Mirage and the old man got whiplash turning their head s to him. "Are you nuts! People go in the triangle and never come back out."
"I see….well here is my theory," Naruto started, "Since this Mist is normally in the triangle maybe that is why people disappear, because of those monsters. Now that the Mist is out here, what could hurt us when we go in?"
"I see your point, but I still think it is risky. I will go if you two want to." Mirage said, knowing Naruto would probably go anyway.
"If you go, be back before the Mist recedes back, or you will be stuck there forever!" The old man said, but with a faraway voice. They looked around for him but he was gone!
"Right," Naruto then looked at an old boat. He was sure that no one would care if it was gone because it looked pretty old and abandoned. "Come on, let's go!" The girls just nodded, hoping they go out of this alive.
A hour later, they had exited the mist and was in clear waters, but the odd thing was that there seemed to be mirrors in the water along with junk from planes and what else that had entered the triangle. "Ok, I get the junk of airplanes and stuff like that, but why the mirrors?"
"Beats me Naruto." Blackfire said with a confused expression. "My best guess is that they produce the Mist."
Mirage had narrowed her eyes at the mirrors…they didn't reflect anything at all, they were pure white! The waters and the boat began to shake uncontrollably until all the mirrors started glowing and then combined infront of the boat to create a portal of multicolored lights. "Holy crap!" They yelled because when they entered, they shot down a tunnel of multicolored lights at a fast rate. Well, that was until they suddenly stopped the three of them were flung out of the boat.
Groaning, Naruto slowly got up to see that were in a white hallway of sorts. "Ok….now I am freaked out."
"You're the one that wanted to enter this place!" Mirage shouted.
"Come one, yelling is getting us nowhere!" Blackfire broke the two up. "We need to find a way out!"
"Right." Naruto said, a little embarrassed. Mirage nodded as well and walked off. They followed her down the long hallway to very large white room where two people seemed to be squaring off. One was a cute blond haired girl with what looked to be a magic sword, She had a black shirt that hugged her figure, same with her black pants. She wore black high heeled combat boots. The other was a man in biker clothes and he seems to have a life like mask that looked like a red skull.
"Girl! You could have joined me, you have a power that could have been useful to be to help kill Captain America! But no! You just had to teleport the both of us to Limbo." The red skull masked man shouted, making Naruto's eyewiden. He had the sinking feeling had been here before and now that confirmed it. He HAD been here as it was the first thing he saw when he 'woke up'!
"I will not join you. You are a nut job Red Skull!" The girl yelled.
"Not that it matters anymore as you, Magik, did not know of the day when the Bermuda Trap would trap you when using that Limbo Teleporting power." Red Skull growled out as he begun to charge the uncooperative girl.
Naruto had enough of Red Skull, he really did sound like a nut job to him. So he opened the door all the way and ran up right next to the girl, Magik. The girl looked at him in shock as did Red Skull. "If we are indeed in Limbo…then I guess no one will miss someone like you!" Naruto said as he activated a ring and his Rinnengan flared to life.
"I don't know who you and your little friend are or how you got here, but I will kill you for that!" Red Skull yelled.
"Name's Akatsuki, remember it in the afterlife." Naruto said, appearing in front of the surprised Red Skull with his palm facing his chest. "Shinra Tensei." Red Skull was blown away at intense speeds, right into the white wall, which cracked before he disappeared in a flash of light and the wall was back to normal.
"What was that!" Magik asked exasperated.
"That was one of my powers, though I am not sure about the wall thing." Naruto reply, normal eyes once again.
"I see, so you know about this place, how?" Magik asked.
"Well, I died once and was given another chance at life, I woke up in this room." Naruto said getting odd looks.
"I see, so you already know about this place and you know you got in, but I don't."
"Oh, we went into the Bermuda Triangle." Mirage answered.
"Ah, you must have gone in when the Mist was out of the triangle." Magik said sadly, "Then we are stuck here for time here is not consistant with time in the real world."
"Damn!" Naruto shouted. "I should have known something as crazy as this would have happened!"
"There is a way." said a voice. They turned to see the old man from the docks!
"Old man? What are you doing here?"
"Boy, I am the Shinigami! I am can anywhere in reason." The old man bellowed out.
"The one from my world or this one?"
"Yours…I am the one who gave you your second chance because you are the one who stopped Madara Uchiha and the Akatsuki." The old man commented, "Now the Magik is right. The moment you entered the triangle, time has speed up in the normal world and when you get back, your bodies shall adjust to it, meaning you will age."
"Ok…that is nice to know." Naruto deadpanned.
"I know this off topic, but at what age did you die Naruto?" asked Mirage.
"When I was 16, my so called best friend killed me when he came back to the village." Naruto said, making all three girls gasp.
"Wait, he introduced himself as Akatsuki and you just called him Naruto." Magik said.
"Yeah, Naruto is his name while Akatsuki is his hero name." Blackfire answered for the blond girl.
"Ah, well my name is Illyana Rasputin, but as you know, I go by Magik in Russia."
"I am Blackfire" the dark haired alien girl said.
"Right and I am Danielle Moonstar but I am known as Mirage."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all." Magik replied with a smile.
"I am still here you know." The old man said, "Now I know Miss Magik cannot escape this place because the triangle is a trap that her power cannot destroy. So, I must help you. You must walk through the door you came through, but there is a catch."
"And that is?" Naruto asked.
"One must stay behind and whatever they see, they will go to." Death replied.
"I'll stay." Blackfire said all of a sudden.
"What? No!" Naruto said, alarmed.
"Don't worry, you will see me again. I see my home in the doorway….I wish to visit my family for a bit." Blackfire said and kissed him on the lips lovingly. "You WILL see me again, I promise."
"If you are sure…just be careful." Naruto said as he gave her a hug, the other girls smiling at the scene.
"I will, now go." Blackfire said.
Naruto nodded and he, Mirage, and Magik left the through the door, disappearing and reappearing on the docks once again, the Mist, gone. He turned to Magik and said, "You said you were from Russia, I know we are a long way from there, so would you like to join our group?"
"You don't seem evil or insane so yes, I will join. Besides, we are in America, I have family here."
"Good to know." Naruto said with a smile. "So….i wonder how long it has been since the world last heard of the Maelstrom."
"That would be a year." The old man said with a smile before disappearing again.
"So we are 15 now?" Mirage asked.
"I would seem so." Magik answered.
Naruto smiled. They got another member for the team, but lost another as well. Hopefully, they would be luckier in the future. He looked to the sky and thought, be safe…Terra, Blackfire.
XXXX
Blackfire appeared on her home planet and smirked, her revenge on her sister was near. "If this does not work….then I will stop and go back to Naruto.
XXXX
Terra and Blackfire will be back, don't worry. Terra will be back when Naruto frees her from her rock prison the series and Blackfire will be back…heh, later. Hope I did ok with Magik and Vandal Savage.
