บท 47: Chapter 39. Uzumaki Naruto

New York City, United States

The battle had ended, leaving the wreckage of the city and a group of heroes standing in its aftermath. As the dust settled, several figures began approaching Naruto, their curiosity piqued.

"Hey, guys! What's up?" Naruto asked, rubbing the back of his head. Despite the intimidating display of power he had shown earlier, his demeanor was casual and friendly.

Thor was the first to speak, his booming voice filled with admiration. "You fought valiantly, my friend! I must demand a sparring match with you one day."

Before Naruto could respond, Satria stepped forward, studying him carefully. "Are you really Uzumaki Naruto?" His voice carried a mix of skepticism and awe.

Satria's mind raced, still trying to reconcile the powerful warrior in front of him with the "blond idiot" he had once watched in his previous life. Back then, Naruto's world had been one of action, heart, and humor. But this... this was something else entirely.

"That's me, dattebayo!" Naruto replied, his voice slipping into its classic tone. Realizing how out of place it sounded, he immediately covered his mouth, embarrassed.

Satria chuckled, finally seeing a glimpse of the goofy Naruto he remembered. "Yep, it's definitely you."

Doctor Strange stepped forward, his expression curious. "How exactly did you combine demonic energy with your own power? That shouldn't even be possible."

Naruto gave him a sheepish grin. "That's a secret," he replied cryptically, unwilling to delve into the details with a stranger.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker had stepped out of his mecha suit, absorbing it back into a device of his own creation. He joined the group, his excitement evident.

"Your transformation was amazing! It reminded me of Satria's."

Naruto smiled. "Yours was pretty cool too, Spidey. That suit and all your gadgets? I'm impressed. I've never seen a Spider-Man quite like you."

Naruto had watched Peter during the battle and noticed how different this version of Spider-Man was. His tech was cutting-edge, and he wasn't afraid to go to extreme lengths to protect others-even if it meant crossing moral lines.

"I just hope it doesn't change him too much," Naruto thought, concern flashing briefly in his eyes. "Once you take a life, it's hard to go back."

Jiraiya finally approached, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You... are you really my student? Uzumaki Naruto?"

Naruto deactivated his transformation, his intimidating form giving way to his regular appearance. His blond hair, whisker marks, and European-style assassin's outfit made him look both familiar and alien.

"That's me, Ero-Sennin," Naruto said with a grin before stepping forward and embracing his old teacher.

Jiraiya smiled proudly. "You may be different from the Naruto I know, but I'm proud of you. You've grown strong and still kept your good heart."

Suddenly, a notification from the Dimensional Chat appeared before all its members:

________

"Interesting," Satria muttered, scanning the notification. "We've got time before we're sent back. Naruto, how about you tell us your story? How did you get this strong, and why are you here in this Universe?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, smiling. "I guess I owe you all an explanation."

"Spidey, do you have a place where we can talk without interruptions?" Satria asked Peter.

Peter thought for a moment before Baobhan Sith chimed in. "How about that place? It's still intact, isn't it?"

Peter nodded. "Yeah, that should work. Follow me."

As they started to leave, Susan Storm approached Satria. "Satria, will you visit us later? I'd like to properly thank you for helping us." Susan Storm spoke with a warm smile, her voice soft but genuine. As she stood there, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of safety around him. Her cheeks grew warm, a faint blush dusting her face. 'He's so handsome... And there's something about him that feels different-strong, reliable... safe.'

"Yeah, man! You've gotta swing by the Baxter Building," Johnny chimed in enthusiastically before leaning closer to Satria, whispering with a mischievous grin. "Looks like my sister has her eye on you. Why not give her a chance, huh? What do you think?"

Satria blinked, caught off guard by Johnny's comment. His gaze briefly flickered to Reed Richards, who was observing them from a distance with a sharp, analytical look. The scientist's tightly pressed lips and furrowed brow spoke volumes-he was clearly not thrilled about this potential development.

Satria inwardly groaned. 'WOW! A love triangle with the smartest man alive and his... possibly future wife? You must be kidding me.' He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, thinking about how he was already juggling relationships back in his own world. 'Besides, polygamy isn't exactly smiled upon here, and I'd rather not find myself on the wrong side of Reed Richards. Or, worse, the Maker.'

"No way... My adorable little puppy is thinking ahead for once. Are you sure you're not possessed by some responsible spirit or something?" Fatalis teased in his mind, it's tone dripping with mock surprise.

Satria frowned, a small tick forming on his forehead. "Do you seriously think I'm that much of an idiot? And stop calling me 'puppy!' My mom and little sister are the only one who gets away with that."

Fatalis snickered. "Oh, really? Should I remind you of all the dumb things you've done in this life? What would your bunda say if she saw you now, Satria-kun?"

His face flushed red as a pout tugged at his lips. "I hate you!"

"Aww, so cute when you sulk. I can't wait to finally break free and smother you~"

Satria quickly redirected his attention to Johnny, desperate to focus on anything else. 'So... are Susan and Reed... together or...'

Johnny smirked knowingly. 'What? Nah, not really... I mean, maybe? They were kind of heading that way before you showed up. But hey, you're way more interesting than that boring guy.'

Satria raised an eyebrow. 'Boring? You're calling him boring?'

Johnny shrugged. 'Yeah. I mean, he is, right?'

Satria sweatdropped. 'I... can't argue with that.'

"What are you two whispering about without me?" Susan's voice interrupted their conversation, her curiosity evident.

Johnny grinned cheekily. "Nothing, sis. Just making sure Satria swings by later, right?" He gave her a playful wink, which only deepened her blush.

Satria sighed, resigned. "Fine. I'll visit you guys when I can find some time."

Susan's face lit up with a smile that seemed to outshine the sun. "Promise?"

"Promise," Satria replied with a soft smile.

"You better keep that promise, Mr. Satria," Susan teased, her tone playful yet sweet.

He nodded, giving her a small wave before walking toward Naruto, who was busy dealing with a group of inquisitive heroes. As Satria approached, he leaned in close to whisper, "Hey, think you can use that teleportation trick of yours to get us all out of here?" Satria turned to the gathered heroes, his tone apologetic yet firm. "Sorry, everyone, but this Q&A session is officially over."

With that, Naruto used his teleportation ability to whisk the group away, leaving the remaining heroes-including a baffled Tony Stark-behind.

"Where did they go?" Captain America asked, scanning the area.

Tony frowned. "That's what I'd like to know."

Nick Fury stepped forward, his expression grim. "Find out everything you can about them. I don't like unknown variables running around unchecked in my country."

•

The group arrived at Peter's home, the aftermath of their efforts still fresh in their minds. Thanks to Naruto's clone ability, countless innocent lives were saved. His shadow clones worked tirelessly, clearing the city of the countless Burning Legion demons that had invaded, ensuring no threats remained lurking in the shadows.

Satria, with his Speed Force abilities, contributed in his own extraordinary way. Not only did he aid in saving lives, but he also took on the monumental task of restoring the city's infrastructure. Entire buildings that had been reduced to rubble were rebuilt in mere moments under his care.

To accomplish this, Satria used his incredible learning speed. A quick trip to the library of one of America's most prestigious universities gave him all the knowledge he needed about architecture. He devoured countless books in seconds, absorbing the intricacies of structural design and repair. Armed with this newfound expertise, he worked at superhuman speed to repair New York's damaged skyline.

The citizens of New York watched in awe, their admiration for the Black Flash growing by the second. They marveled at his selfless dedication, unaware of his true motives.

Peter Parker, now back at his home with the group, expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Satria and Naruto, for everything you've done for my city. I don't even know how to repay you."

Naruto grinned, rubbing the back of his head. "Don't worry about it. Protecting the innocent is my job-it's what I do."

Satria, however, wasn't as modest. He let out an exaggerated sigh and rubbed his temples. "Sure, no problem, Spider-boy. But if you really want to thank me, how about offering me something useful as payment? This was not an easy job, you know."

Naruto shot him a playful glare. "Really? You're going to ask for payment after we just saved the city?"

"Hey, saving the city isn't cheap!" Satria replied, folding his arms. "Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to keep nightmares at bay in New York? If I'm not compensated properly, I might just redo this city and let this place fend for itself."

Peter chuckled nervously, unsure if Satria was joking or not. "Right... I'll see what I can do."

Naruto couldn't help but laugh. "You're unbelievable. You fix half the city and still have the energy to complain."

"Complain? I'm just being practical," Satria retorted with a smirk, leaning back on Peter's couch. "Besides, I'd like to see you deal with this kind of chaos without losing your mind."

Despite his grumbling, Satria's actions had clearly made an impact-not just on the city, but on the people around him. Though his methods were unconventional, his heart was in the right place, even if he wouldn't admit it.

Jiraiya chuckled at Satria's antics, while Saber let out a small sigh, her composed demeanor showing only a hint of amusement.

Breaking the moment, Jiraiya turned to Satria with a curious smile. "So, which is it? Is your real name Shin or Satria?"

Satria paused for a moment before answering. "It's Satria," he said, his voice steady. "Shin is just a nickname I use as camouflage in my new home. A way to blend in, you know?"

He looked thoughtful for a moment, his gaze shifting as if reflecting on his past. "But no matter where I go, I'll always appreciate my roots-my homeland. Satria is the name my parents gave me, and no matter what, I'll never forsake it. It's who I am."

Jiraiya nodded approvingly, his expression softening. "Good answer, kid. Never forget where you come from. That's the foundation that shapes you."

Saber, standing nearby, folded her arms and offered a small but sincere smile. "Honoring one's roots shows strength of character, Satria. Your resolve is admirable."

Satria gave them both a confident grin. "Thanks. It's not always easy, but it's part of who I am. Besides, what's the point of power if you lose yourself along the way?"

Naruto smirked. "You might just be wiser than you look, Satria. But don't let it go to your head."

"Haaaa! I'm so tired!" Baobhan groaned as she flopped onto the sofa, spreading out like a cat. "As expected, our home is the best." She sighed happily, a small smile forming on her face.

Peter couldn't help but smile as he looked around his much larger house. The gold gifted by Esdeath's from her world had sold for a fortune, all thanks to Baobhan's impressive bargaining skills. If it were up to him, he'd have probably gotten half the price.

Artoria watched her closely, her curiosity finally spilling over. "It's probably late to ask, but... are you a Servant?"

Baobhan smirked, clearly amused. "Yes, nice to meet you, Artoria Pendragon-or should I say, sister of my mother?"

Artoria's brow furrowed, her sharp gaze narrowing. "My... Sister... Daughter? Don't tell me-you're-"

"Yes," Baobhan interrupted with a playful grin. "I am Baobhan Sith, heir to Queen Morgan. My mother has told me plenty of stories about you, King of Britain."

Artoria's eyes hardened, her lips pressing into a thin line. "So, you're that witch's daughter. How were you summoned to this world?"

"Fufu~ I was summoned by my Master." She gestured toward Peter with a proud smile, causing Artoria to glance at him with sudden understanding. "As long as you don't hurt my little spider, we are not enemies. No need to worry." She cast Artoria a pointed look.

"Don't look at me like that!" Peter raised his hands defensively. "I didn't exactly choose who got summoned!"

Satria chuckled from across the room. "Man, you're lucky to have a girlfriend like her."

Peter flushed, scratching the back of his neck. "She's... uh... she's really too good to me."

Naruto, sensing tension, leaned closer to Artoria. "Is something wrong, Artoria-chan?"

Artoria shook her head, her expression softening but still guarded. "No... I'm just surprised. I didn't expect to meet her daughter here."

"What's your problem with her mother? Maybe I can help?" Naruto asked, his curiosity piqued.

Artoria sighed, her voice curt. "The story is long. All you need to know is that we're... incompatible."

Peter, feeling the unease, addressed the group. "Is everything okay? I don't want any trouble between Baobhan and you guys."

Artoria shook her head again, offering a small bow. "My apologies. I didn't mean to make a scene."

"It's okay, Saber." Peter's voice was calm but firm. "If you have an issue with Baobhan, we can talk about it later."

Artoria quickly clarified. "No, there's no issue with her. My... problem is with her mother."

Satisfied, Peter let out a relieved breath. "Alright. If you're sure."

Meanwhile, Naruto had busied himself creating a complex seal around Peter's house. It shimmered faintly before vanishing from sight, designed to protect the house from outside interference.

The kitchen was bustling with energy as Satria moved with precision and grace, his hands a blur as he chopped vegetables, stirred sauces, and flipped ingredients in a fiery dance of culinary expertise. The aroma wafting through Peter's home was enough to pull everyone from their conversations and into the kitchen, drawn by the irresistible scent.

Naruto was the first to peek in. "Oi, Satria, what are you making? It smells amazing!"

"Just a little something to keep everyone happy," Satria replied with a smirk, expertly flipping a pan of sizzling stir-fry.

Jiraiya leaned against the doorway, his arms crossed but unable to hide his curiosity. "I didn't realize you could cook like this. You're full of surprises, aren't you?"

Satria shrugged nonchalantly, plating up a vibrant dish of grilled meat and vegetables. "I had to learn. Back in my world, when you're traveling far away from home, you either eat well or suffer through bad food. I chose to eat well."

Artoria stood beside Baobhan, her eyes wide as she watched Satria pour a glossy sauce over a steaming plate of rice. "The way you move... it's like watching a swordsman at work."

"Cooking's not that different from combat," Satria replied with a grin, sprinkling fresh herbs over the dish. "Timing, precision, and a lot of practice."

By the time he was done, the dining table was covered in an impressive spread: golden-brown roasted chicken, tender steaks, fragrant curries, crispy stir-fried vegetables, and desserts that looked like they belonged in a royal feast.

Peter's jaw dropped as he surveyed the table. "How did you make all of this so fast?"

"It's part skill, part speed," Satria said, tapping his head with a wink. "Let's just say I don't like wasting time."

Naruto was already grabbing a plate, his mouth watering. "Man, forget Ichiraku Ramen! This is incredible!"

Artoria hesitated for a moment before taking a bite of the grilled meat. Her eyes widened, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks. "This is... So Good. I've eaten food from royal kitchens, but this surpasses it."

Baobhan reluctantly tried a spoonful of the curry and immediately froze. "I hate to admit it, but this is really delicious." She glared at Satria, though her tone softened. "I'll let the fridge raiding slide for now."

Satria grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, my powers burn through a lot of energy." He ate his food with relish and gestured toward Artoria. "I can't speak for her, though."

Artoria blushed but didn't stop eating. "It's all his fault for making the food this good."

Jiraiya, lounging nearby, gave an approving nod. "I agree with Artoria-chan. You're a great cook, Satria-kun."

Satria blinked, surprised. "Really? I thought my cooking was pretty average."

"This is average?!" Peter stared at him, dumbfounded. "Then I can't even imagine what you consider good."

Artoria nodded in agreement, her cheeks still a bit pink. "If this is average, then your standards must be... unimaginable."

As the group finished their feast, the lively chatter died down, and all eyes turned toward Naruto.

"Alright, Naruto, now it's your turn," Satria said, leaning back in his chair with curiosity glimmering in his eyes. "Tell us your story. We want to know more about you."

Naruto hesitated, a somber look crossing his face.

Satria immediately noticed and felt a pang of guilt. "Hey, if it's too painful, you don't have to-"

Naruto raised a hand, offering a small, reassuring smile. "It's fine. You're my friends. You deserve to know."

The room grew silent as Naruto began.

He explained how his world fell apart-the Juubi (Ten-Tails), an ancient beast of overwhelming power, had gained intelligence and a sinister personality. This led to a catastrophic battle that wiped out nearly everything he held dear. Only through the intervention of the Sage of Six Paths did Naruto survive. The Sage entrusted him with a sacred mission: to traverse different worlds in search of a key capable of restoring his home.

During his journey, Naruto faced countless trials and earned the favor of the Shinto Pantheon, receiving the legendary Ame-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi. In another world, he worked tirelessly to rebuild the Uzumaki clan and found family among new friends and allies.

As he spoke, his tone carried a mix of sorrow, resilience, and hope.

_______

Esdeath: "No wonder he's so strong. To endure that much suffering and remain so unwavering... it's admirable. He truly is worthy of my fated one."

Kazuma-sama: "What an unbelievable story... it's like something out of an anime or a movie. You're insane, Naruto."

Emilia: "I can't imagine the pain of losing everything and still standing tall. Naruto, you're truly incredible."

[Batman Junior changed his nickname into Robin]

Robin: "He's strong in ways that go beyond physical power. To go through all that and not break... I have nothing but respect for you, Naruto."

______

Artoria, quiet until now, finally spoke. "Naruto... your story humbles me. I've seen my share of hardship, but it pales in comparison to yours. You've earned my deepest respect, as both a warrior and a person."

Satria sighed, regret clear in his expression. "I'm sorry for bringing that up, Naruto. I didn't mean to-"

Naruto shook his head, his signature warm smile returning. "It's alright, Satria. Sharing this with all of you... it helps me carry it. And hey, don't look so down-it's not like you're the one who unleashed the Juubi."

Satria managed a chuckle at that. "Still... it's hard to believe what you've been through. You're stronger than I could ever imagine."

Naruto's gaze softened. "Strength isn't just power, Satria. It's about the people who inspire you to keep moving forward. And by the way... what's that dark energy inside you? It feels similar to the Bijuu I knew."

"Oh, that?" Satria glanced at Fatalis's mark on his hand. "It's my companion, Fatalis. Kind of like your Kurama, I guess. But don't worry-he's on my side."

Naruto's face lit up. "You don't see them as weapons, do you? That's good. That's how it should be."

Satria smiled. "You're the one who taught me that, Naruto."

Fatalis chuckled warmly in Satria's mind. "How sweet, my adorable little puppy. I love you too~."

Naruto's curiosity grew, but before he could press further, Jiraiya, who had been listening silently, let out a heavy sigh. His expression was tinged with guilt.

"Jiraiya-sensei?" Naruto asked.

The older man smiled faintly. "Nothing, kid. Just... I feel like I failed you as a godfather, no matter the world."

Peter, listening from the side, nodded in silent respect. "Naruto... I don't even know what to say. You're one of the strongest people I've ever met-not just physically, but in your heart. How do you stay so... you?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I've got people to protect and memories to honor. That's enough to keep me going."

Artoria, deep in thought, suddenly spoke again. "Naruto, your strength amazes me, but so does your kindness. As King of Britain, I respect you immensely."

Naruto grinned widely. "Thanks, Artoria-chan. Coming from someone as strong and beautiful as you, that means a lot."

Artoria blushed at his words, her face turning a deep shade of red. She quickly looked away, her heart racing. 'What am I thinking? He's already married... and I don't deserve such happiness.'

Never in her life had she encountered someone quite like him.

The way he spoke about his family, the warmth and sincerity in his tone, struck a chord deep within her. It was clear how much he cherished those he held dear.

For Artoria, memories of family were far from happy. Her time as a king had been fraught with duty and sacrifice, leaving her no room for personal joys or familial love.

Deep down, she harbored a yearning she had never allowed herself to acknowledge-a longing to experience the unconditional love of a family.

Unbidden, a vivid image formed in her mind: a peaceful life, one filled with warmth and laughter, standing beside the blonde man who had just praised her.

Baobhan Sith, watching her intently, couldn't hide her smirk. 'The legendary King of Knights, flustered over a man? It was a sight to behold. I wonder what Mother would say if she saw this.' Baobhan thought with amusement, chuckling internally.

"You..." Artoria finally spoke, breaking the silence as she addressed Naruto. "You said you had questions for me. Why do you want to know about me?"

"My girlfriend is an archaeologist. She's curious about you," Naruto admitted with a warm smile. It was clear that he was doing all this to make her happy.

Artoria froze for a moment upon hearing his words. A faint pang of hurt stirred within her, unexpected and unwelcome. She quickly shook it off, but the emotion lingered in her chest.

Before anyone could comment, a surge of power filled the room. From Naruto's body emerged a small, chibi-sized Nine-Tailed Fox, its presence exuding tremendous energy despite its diminutive form.

"Ah, finally, fresh air!" Kurama stretched, his tiny frame looking oddly cute despite the overwhelming aura of strength he radiated.

Satria and Jiraiya stared in stunned silence, their mouths slightly agape as they processed the sight of the legendary Bijuu casually stepping out of Naruto's body.

"That's... Kyuubi, right? How is he outside your body?" Jiraiya asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and concern. Memories of the Kyuubi's rampages made him uneasy, despite the fox's seemingly harmless appearance.

Kurama smirked at the legendary Sannin, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Relax, Pervert Sannin. I'm a docile gentleman... as long as nobody gives me a reason to stop being one. Kuehehe."

"It's a long story," Naruto replied vaguely, avoiding giving a direct answer to his teacher.

Satria, observing the interaction, felt a flicker of hope. 'He can somehow let his Bijuu out without danger... Maybe he has a solution for you, Fatalis.'

Inside Satria, Fatalis purred with excitement. 'I'm happy you are thinking about it, Satria. Let's ask him about it later.'

Kurama, noticing the slight exchange of thoughts, cast a curious glance toward Satria, but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya's expression shifted into one of playful curiosity, his signature mischievous grin returning. "Now, back to the most important part. Who's the lucky lady that managed to steal your heart, Naruto?"

Naruto's cheeks reddened slightly, but before he could answer, Satria chimed in with a smirk.

"Yeah, I want to know too. I mean, in your an-in my perspective, you were the densest protagonist ever! Is this Princess Hyuuga or someone else?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly. "No... No Hinata, I honestly can't see me and her together and not like that... I..."

Jiraiya burst out laughing, and Kurama snickered from the sidelines.

"Hey!" Naruto protested, his face turning red.

Satria's grin widened as he teased, "Wait a minute. Didn't you say earlier that you were married? And it wasn't Hinata, huh? And about this girlfriend of yours? Care to explain?"

Naruto sighed, clearly trying to figure out how to explain without inviting more teasing.

"Wahahaha! Naruto of all people is dense? The world must be upside down if that's true!" Son laughed, his booming voice filling the room as he heard Satria's claim about Naruto's legendary obliviousness.

"It's true, though," Gyūki chimed in, nodding with a knowing expression. "Only when he was in the Elemental Nations, though. After leaving that world, he started changing. The guy's becoming a much better man than before."

Chomei, always the playful one, grinned. "Anyone want to bet? I'm thinking Arthuria's gonna end up in our Jinchuriki harem."

"Kakaka, I'll bet $5,000 she'll be with him within a month," Shukaku said, his voice full of confidence as he placed the first bet.

"I'll raise you-$7,500 she'll be in his bed in two weeks," Gyūki added, a wide grin on his face as he joined in on the wager.

Son, ever the enthusiast, gave a mischievous laugh. "Hah! After witnessing Naruto's power and appeal, I'm betting $15,000 plus a snack from Rhea. I give him one week to conquer her heart!"

The Bijuu looked around, all confident in their predictions, except for Saiken. Her face was twisted with disgust.

"What a pervert! You all should be ashamed of yourself, turning our Jinchuriki into a womanizer," Saiken remarked coldly, glaring at her male brother.

The four male Bijuu quickly averted their gazes, sensing the terrifying stares coming from Matatabi, Kokuo, and Saiken.

A brief silence followed, before the now-familiar voice of Kurama broke the tension. His deep, rumbling voice echoed through the room, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Let me tell you something," Kurama started, his voice filled with amusement. He pointed a paw at Naruto. "This Naruto? Unlike the one you guys know, he's got four wives, one girlfriend, and four kids. And he's still looking for more candidates," Kurama said proudly, a smug smile on his face as he looked at Naruto, who now had a cold sweat running down his face.

Naruto blinked, the weight of Kurama's words hitting him all at once. When he glanced at Artoria, he saw her face twisted into an expression that sent a chill down his spine. Artoria's cold gaze locked onto him, and he couldn't help but break into a nervous sweat.

The rest of the room went silent for a beat, each person processing Kurama's bombshell.

"Huh?" Satria finally blinked in disbelief. "What did he just say? Four wives? Four kids? Is he really that much of a...?"

The others stared at Naruto with wide eyes, their mouths agape.

"What?!"

To be continued.
