Chapter 1: A New Battlefield
The war was over. The Fourth Great Ninja War had ended with Naruto Uzumaki and his allies emerging victorious. Peace had finally come to the Shinobi World. Yet, as Naruto and Hinata stood atop the Hokage Monument, gazing at the village bathed in golden sunset, a lingering sense of unease settled in his chest.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata said softly, standing beside him. "You feel it too, don’t you?"
He exhaled. "Yeah… like something’s not done yet."
Before either could ponder further, space itself twisted around them. A blinding light enveloped their bodies, and the world shattered.
---
Naruto and Hinata crashed into the unfamiliar streets of a towering metropolis. Skyscrapers lined the horizon, but chaos reigned. Alien creatures with grotesque armor flew through the sky, firing at helpless civilians. Explosions rocked the city.
“What the hell—?!” Naruto barely had time to react before a monstrous roar filled the air.
A massive, dragon-like creature, its metallic hide gleaming under the sunlight, charged toward them. The monstrous Leviathan bore down on Hinata first.
Her Byakugan activated instantly, scanning the creature’s structure. "Naruto! Its weak point—"
She didn't need to finish. Naruto was already moving.
Sage Mode flared around him, golden pigmentation forming near his eyes. He clenched his fist, feeling the raw power surging within him. Then, just as the beast lunged, Naruto leaped forward—his punch meeting the creature’s skull with the force of a meteor.
BOOM!
The Leviathan’s entire head caved in. Its massive body convulsed before crashing into the side of a skyscraper. Dust and debris clouded the street.
Up in the air, Iron Man—having just dodged a barrage of Chitauri blasts—stared at the scene through his HUD.
"J.A.R.V.I.S.," Tony muttered. "Did a blond teenager just one-punch a space dragon?"
"It would appear so, sir."
Tony didn’t get a chance to process before another urgent matter demanded his attention. The nuke.

As the nuclear missile soared toward the wormhole, Tony pushed his thrusters to the max, guiding the payload toward the portal. He barely made it through before the explosion consumed the Chitauri fleet. But now, with his suit out of power, he tumbled back toward Earth.
He fell, plummeting fast.
Thor prepared to summon Mjolnir, but before he could act, a golden blur shot past him.
Naruto.
In an instant, Naruto caught Tony midair. His chakra flared beneath his feet, slowing their descent. The wind roared past them as they landed smoothly on the street.
Tony groaned, blinking his helmet open. "Either I’m dead, or I just got saved by an anime protagonist."
Naruto grinned. "No idea what that means, but you’re welcome."
Thor landed nearby, Mjolnir in hand, watching the newcomers with a mix of awe and suspicion. "Who are you?"
Naruto glanced at Hinata, who landed gracefully beside him, scanning their surroundings with her Byakugan. He scratched the back of his head.
"Good question."
Chapter 2: Strangers Among Heroes
The battlefield was quiet. The Chitauri were defeated, their massive warships either destroyed or vanishing through the wormhole. Smoke and fire still lingered in the air, the scars of war fresh across the streets of New York. But despite the battle’s end, tension remained.
Naruto and Hinata stood surrounded by Earth’s mightiest heroes. The Avengers watched them with wary curiosity. They had appeared out of nowhere, wielding impossible power. And now, SHIELD had arrived, surrounding the area with black SUVs and tactical units.
From the lead vehicle, Nick Fury stepped out, his single eye studying the two strangers. He didn’t speak at first, letting the weight of his presence settle. Then, he turned to Tony Stark.
“Tell me we know something about them,” Fury said.
Tony shrugged. “Blondie one-punched a space dragon. The quiet one dodged enough firepower to make a guy insecure. Beyond that? Nothing.”
Fury’s gaze locked onto Naruto. “You understand what I’m saying?”
Naruto frowned. The man was clearly asking something, but the words were meaningless. He turned to Hinata. “Still nothing?”
She shook her head. “No.”
J.A.R.V.I.S. interrupted through Tony’s earpiece. "Sir, I have analyzed their language. It appears to be an ancient form of Japanese, one that predates modern dialects."
Fury exhaled. “Great. More questions.”
Thor, who had been silently observing, stepped forward. His eyes lingered on Naruto with a mix of curiosity and respect. “You fight with strength beyond mortals. Tell me, from which realm do you hail?”
Naruto just stared, not understanding the words.
Fury glanced at Hill. “Get the translators up. I want to know what they’re saying.”
Hill nodded, relaying orders. But before SHIELD could take the next step—
A single shot rang out.
BANG!
The bullet tore through the air, aimed directly at Hinata.
Naruto’s instincts flared. His body moved before his mind even registered the threat.
CLANG!
The bullet stopped midair—pinched between Naruto’s fingers. His grip tightened, crushing the metal into dust. His expression darkened as he scanned the SHIELD agents.
“Who fired that?” Fury barked, his voice sharp as a blade.
The agents shifted uncomfortably. No one spoke. Then—
BOOM!
An explosion erupted from one of the SHIELD vehicles. From the smoke, a figure bolted out—a rogue agent, his insignia subtly marked with the emblem of Hydra.
Tony’s HUD flickered with alerts. “Oh, great. We’ve got roaches.”
The Hydra agent moved to flee, but before he could take another step—
Naruto was there.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto appeared in front of the man, his arm already moving. One strike. Just one. The Hydra agent flew backward, crashing through the wreckage of a Chitauri transport. He didn’t get up.
Naruto exhaled, his fists clenched. “Cowards.”
Fury’s face darkened. “Hydra… those bastards are still lurking.”
The Avengers remained tense, waiting to see what Naruto would do next. But before anyone could speak, a low hum filled the air. Mjolnir—Thor’s mighty hammer—rested on the ground nearby, still crackling with energy. The god of thunder stepped toward it, ready to reclaim his weapon.
Then, something happened that shouldn’t have.
Naruto bent down and casually picked up the hammer.
Silence.
The Avengers froze.
Thor’s eyes widened. “What…?”
Naruto turned the weapon in his hands, examining it. “Huh. This is pretty cool.”
The wind itself seemed to pause. The sky rumbled, as if the very forces of the universe were acknowledging what had just happened.
Thor took a slow step forward. “You… can lift Mjolnir?”
Naruto frowned. “Is that not normal?”
Tony stared. “No, it is definitely not normal.”
Fury rubbed his temples. “Well… that complicates things.”
Hinata placed a hand on Naruto’s arm. “Naruto-kun… maybe put it down?”
Naruto shrugged. “Fine.” He set the hammer back on the ground with a soft thud.
Thor immediately reached for it, gripping the handle. The moment his fingers wrapped around it, lightning crackled around him, as if Mjolnir itself was reacting. He let out a quiet breath of relief. It still answered to him.
But the fact remained—Naruto had lifted it.
And that meant something.
Fury exhaled. “Alright. Let’s get one thing straight—we are not enemies here. That said, I need answers. Now.”
J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke again. "Translation complete, sir. We should be able to communicate now."
Fury turned back to Naruto and Hinata. "Good. Now—who the hell are you?"
Naruto and Hinata exchanged glances. The truth? Too complicated. Too dangerous.
Naruto folded his arms. "We’re from another planet."
Fury sighed. "Of course you are."
Chapter 3: A Place to Stay
The dust from the battle had settled, but the tension remained. The Avengers had saved the city, but now they were dealing with something—or rather, someone—far more unpredictable.
Naruto Uzumaki. The guy had caught a bullet, destroyed SHIELD's weapons in seconds, held his own against the Hulk, and—just to top it all off—lifted Mjolnir like it was a regular hammer. And then there was Hinata, whose strange eyes seemed to see everything and whose movements had been impossibly precise during the battle.
Nick Fury had backed off, realizing SHIELD wouldn’t be able to contain them if things went south. But now the real question remained—what would they do next?
Tony Stark had an idea.
“You know,” he said, adjusting his gauntlet, “if you guys are from another planet or dimension or whatever, that means you don’t exactly have a place to crash.”
Naruto blinked. “Crash?”
Tony sighed. “Right. Lost in translation. What I mean is—you’ve got nowhere to go.”
Naruto and Hinata exchanged glances. He wasn’t wrong. They had no idea how they got here, let alone how to get back.
Tony smirked. “Lucky for you, I happen to have some extra space. Ever heard of Stark Tower?”
Naruto tilted his head. “Uh…”
“Didn’t think so,” Tony muttered. He turned to Fury. “So, what’s the play? You gonna keep them locked up in some SHIELD facility?”
Fury crossed his arms. “As much as I’d love to study whatever the hell they are, I know when to pick my fights. They stay under observation, but I’m not wasting resources on a containment plan that won’t work.” He gave Naruto a pointed look. “And I think we both know that’s the case.”
Naruto grinned. “You’re smarter than you look.”
Fury sighed. “Stark, they’re your problem now.”
Tony clapped his hands together. “Awesome. Let’s go, space ninjas.”

Stark Tower
J.A.R.V.I.S. had arranged for a private flight back to Stark Tower. By the time they arrived, the damage from the earlier battle was already being repaired by a swarm of automated drones.
As they entered, Hinata’s Byakugan activated briefly, scanning the unfamiliar technology. “This place is… advanced,” she murmured.
“Of course it is,” Tony said, leading them through the sleek hallways. “This is my tower. Cutting-edge everything.”
As they stepped into the main living area, a familiar voice called out.
“Tony?”
Pepper Potts walked in, her expression shifting from relief to curiosity when she noticed Naruto and Hinata. “You brought guests?”
Tony gestured toward them. “Meet Naruto and Hinata. They’re… well, let’s just say they’re very lost.”
Pepper gave them a polite smile. “Nice to meet you.”
Hinata nodded. “Thank you for having us.”
Naruto grinned. “This place is way fancier than anywhere back home.”
Pepper arched an eyebrow. “So… what’s the story here?”
Tony sighed. “Long version? They showed up, saved the city, and then nearly wrecked SHIELD before we sorted things out. Short version? They’ve got nowhere else to go.”
Pepper exhaled. “And you decided to bring them here?”
Tony smirked. “Would you rather they move in with Fury?”
Pepper considered that. “…Fair point.”
As they settled in, J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke up.
"Sir, I have completed a more detailed analysis of our guests."
Tony raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And?”
A holographic display appeared, showing scans of Naruto and Hinata.
"Naruto Uzumaki exhibits an unusual cellular structure. The markings on his face are not natural pigmentation but appear linked to a secondary energy source within his body. It is unlike any known energy signature on Earth. Additionally, his ability to lift Mjolnir suggests his internal composition resonates with a similar frequency to Thor’s divine power."
Tony’s eyes widened slightly. “Huh. So he’s got god-tier energy in him? That explains a lot.”
J.A.R.V.I.S. continued. "Hinata Hyuga possesses unique ocular modifications. Her eyes operate on a spectrum beyond human capability, capable of detecting energy flows and biological structures at a microscopic level. They appear to function as advanced sensory organs, far surpassing anything in known medical science."
Pepper folded her arms. “So, what you’re telling me is… we have a human battery and a living X-ray machine staying in the tower.”
Tony smirked. “Basically.”
Naruto blinked. “Are we supposed to be insulted or impressed?”
Hinata smiled. “I think… impressed?”
Tony clapped his hands. “Well, whatever the case, you two are officially Stark Tower’s newest residents. And don’t worry—I promise the beds are more comfortable than sleeping on another planet.”
Naruto grinned. “I think I’m gonna like this place.”
