DC: sasuke uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki

Smallville had seen its fair share of chaos over the past few days. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, now unlikely allies of Superman, had made their mark by helping defend the town from Zod and his forces. Though the battle had ended in a fragile victory, the scars it left on the town and its people were undeniable.

As Naruto and Sasuke walked through the rubble-strewn streets alongside Superman, the tension in the air began to dissipate, replaced by the sound of distant sirens and murmurs of gratitude from the townsfolk. The Kryptonian was silent, his cape swaying in the gentle breeze, but his eyes betrayed the weight of responsibility he carried.

Naruto broke the silence. "Hey, blue guy… Superman, right? You've got some serious strength. But I gotta say, those Kryptonian warriors were no joke."

Superman offered a faint smile. "They're dangerous, but with your help, we managed to hold them off. Thank you both for what you did."

"Hn," Sasuke murmured, his arms crossed. His Sharingan flickered faintly as he scanned their surroundings. "The battle's over, but the war is far from finished. If Zod's forces regroup, this town won't survive another attack."

Superman nodded grimly. "You're right. That's why we need to be prepared."

Suddenly, a streak of lightning zipped past them, leaving a gust of wind in its wake. Naruto instinctively raised an arm to shield his face from the dust, while Sasuke's Rinnegan flickered as he tracked the source of the disturbance.

"What was that?!" Naruto exclaimed, his cerulean eyes wide with curiosity.

Before anyone could answer, the streak of lightning slowed to reveal a young man in a red suit, his face partially obscured by a mask. He stumbled slightly, clearly unaccustomed to the incredible speed he had just displayed.

"Whoa! Sorry about that," the young man said, his voice filled with nervous energy. "Still getting the hang of this whole speedster thing."

Superman's expression softened. "Barry? What are you doing here?"

The young man's face lit up. "Clark! I heard about what happened in Smallville and thought I'd… well, you know, help out. I guess you could say today's my first day on the job."

Naruto stepped forward, his grin as bright as the sun. "You've got some crazy speed there, red guy! What's your name?"

"Barry Allen," the speedster replied, extending a hand. "But I've been working on a superhero name. Call me… the Flash."

Naruto shook Barry's hand enthusiastically. "Flash, huh? Nice to meet you! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and this is my grumpy friend Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke gave a curt nod, his eyes still fixed on Barry, analyzing the newcomer with his Sharingan. "You're fast," he said simply. "But speed alone won't save lives."

Barry looked slightly taken aback but nodded earnestly. "Yeah, you're right. That's why I'm here—to learn, to help. Whatever it takes."

Superman placed a reassuring hand on Barry's shoulder. "You're off to a good start, Barry. But this isn't just about fighting. It's about protecting people, rebuilding hope."

Naruto's expression grew serious as he surveyed the devastated town. His Sun Mark glowed faintly, the warmth of its energy spreading through his body. "Then let's get started."

The trio—now joined by Barry—moved through the town, focusing on rescue efforts. Naruto's shadow clones spread out, lifting debris, clearing pathways, and guiding injured civilians to safety. The real Naruto concentrated his Sun Mark's healing abilities, his hands glowing as he placed them on a wounded child.

"You're gonna be okay," Naruto said softly, his voice filled with warmth. The child's cries subsided as the golden light mended their injuries.

Barry watched in awe. "That… that's incredible. What is that?"

"It's something I learned a while back," Naruto explained, wiping sweat from his brow. "This mark lets me channel healing energy. It's not just about fighting; it's about helping people recover."

Inspired, Barry zipped away, returning moments later with medical supplies he had gathered from various locations. "I'm not much of a healer, but I can at least do this."

Sasuke, meanwhile, used his Rinnegan to move larger pieces of debris with precision. His Moon Mark glowed faintly as he directed his chakra to stabilize collapsing structures. Despite his stoic demeanor, his actions spoke volumes about his commitment to protecting lives.

As the hours passed, the trio's teamwork became seamless. Barry's speed allowed him to ferry supplies and evacuate civilians at an astonishing pace. Naruto's clones multiplied their efforts, while his healing touch brought relief to the injured. Sasuke's strategic mind ensured their actions were coordinated and efficient.

Superman joined them periodically, his immense strength invaluable in clearing the most stubborn obstacles. Together, they transformed the chaos into a semblance of order, earning the gratitude of the townsfolk.

At one point, a young woman approached Naruto, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you… you saved my daughter's life."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, his cheeks tinged with a hint of pink. "Aw, it's nothing. Just doing what I can."

Sasuke smirked faintly. "You're always playing the hero, aren't you?"

Naruto shot him a playful glare. "And you're always playing the grump. Lighten up, teme."

As the day turned to evening, the group gathered in the town square, their work far from finished but progress undeniable. Barry leaned against a lamppost, exhaustion evident on his face. "I… I never thought being a hero would be this hard."

Superman placed a hand on Barry's shoulder. "It's not just about the powers, Barry. It's about heart, determination, and the willingness to put others before yourself."

Naruto grinned, his energy seemingly boundless. "And good friends to back you up. We've got your back, Flash."

Barry smiled, his resolve renewed. "Thanks, guys. I'll do my best."

Sasuke's gaze shifted to the horizon, where the first stars were beginning to appear. "This is only the beginning. If Zod's forces return, we'll need to be ready."

Superman nodded. "And we will be. Together."

In that moment, an unspoken bond formed between them. Despite their differences—different worlds, different abilities—they shared a common goal: to protect this world and its people.

As the stars lit up the night sky, Naruto looked around at his newfound allies, a sense of hope swelling in his chest. "Let's do this, guys. Let's be the heroes this world needs."

With determination in their hearts, the heroes prepared for the challenges ahead, knowing that together, they could face anything.
