Daddy's Little Princess

Himawari was in a dilemma as she sat atop the skyscr.a.p.er thinking about her next action.

'Do I just ask Daddy to save Kara or should I go and fight alone, to force daddy to come out.' Hima thought as she knew Naruto will enraged if she even got a scratch

It was a simple thing to bring Naruto to the spotlight like the old days but she knew it will hurt him and he was already hurting enough.

Hima sighed and decided she couldn't hurt Naruto so telling was the only solution.

"Daddy, I need help." She said quietly as she knew that he heard her wish

"Anything for my Princess." Hima heard in her ears and it felt ticklish like he was whispering into them

She giggled at his words and flew home while destroying anyone that gave the aura of being a cultist of Trigon.

------------------

Naruto was meditating in his dojo along with Raven while she was transformed into a different look by him so that no one recognized her.

The whole place was quite until he heard the footsteps of two individuals.

"Relax, they will not know." Naruto assured Raven and got up to greet his guests. The dojo was the only thing he ran directly while the other businesses were handled by his subordinates

It allowed him time to relax and just talk with people along with allowing him measure of training.

"Good morning, Naruto. I hope you are doing well." Bruce said with a smile as he took of his shoes and entered along with Diana

"I am doing fine and what about you? Are you still stressed or did my work help?" Naruto asked in cordial tone, he liked the man except Bruce was just too stagnant and needed a lot of force applied to him to see reality

'I hope he won't make trouble. We would get along fine, if he just grew up.'

"I am feeling a lot better so I brought along a friend." Bruce replied with a chuckle as indicated towards Diana

"Hello, my name is Diana and it is an honor to meet you. I have heard a lot about you from Bruce." Diana said in a kind tone while she analyzed him and found him to be well built but that wasn't enough to say he was beyond human

'He doesn't give off any feeling of danger but I do feel a connection to him. Mother said he was the Chosen of Gaia, so he must be the guardian.' Diana thought as she looked at him and was reminded about her mother's words

Unlike Batman and Superman, she wasn't really foreign to killing just like Green Lantern and Hawkwoman. She thought it the best way to shut up trouble but followed the rules of society as it wasn't her place to change them as an outsider.

"It is nice to meet you as well. I can see that you have trained well and don't listen to him, he likes to boast a lot." Naruto replied with a smile, he could tell she knew but didn't really care much as she was already in his grasp. The moment she entered seal had been planted on her to stop her of ever sharing that knowledge.

"I am a very honest man, Naruto. No need to be so humble and show her what you got, she is a fan of martial arts and is even better than I." Bruce said as he patted Diana on the shoulder

'Too many changes happened since he came. Yes, there is no proof of him being the Guardian but there are many little clues.

Why would Pamela be so obsessed with him?

Why would the Suicide squad be so homey around him?

Why does it feel like he reads me like an open book?

Everything starts making sense when you think of Naruto as the Guardian and Diana isn't really good at hiding things, I can tell from the body language that she felt something.

Now just let me see them fight, if it is like the fight with Clark then I was right if not then I am just lost or he is just hiding his strength well.'

Diana knew what he was trying to do and so could Naruto.

"Daddy, I need help." Naruto heard Himawari clearly and knew what she wanted, so his clone that followed Himawari made a clone to deal with it

'Now how do I deal with this? Hima wouldn't like to see me lose against someone weaker but if I fight seriously Bruce will know.'

"Father, how about I test her first. It is not wise for someone to fight you directly; they should at least pass my test." Cassandra walked out of the garden as she had finished her warm exercises and analyzed Diana

"That's okay, I will be happy to fight Mr. Uzumaki's disciple." Diana replied before Bruce could say anything

Bruce agreed as he didn't want to force the situation and it made sense since Diana wasn't well known as a fighter. It was a bout of skill not force and Naruto made sure of it.

Diana changed into the appropriate attire while Cassandra waited for her in the ring.

--------------------

"Will your friend be okay? My child is truly skilled and experienced." Naruto said as he stood beside Bruce

"No problem, she will be okay even if your little girl is rough. Diana likes to fight and experience new tricks." Bruce replied in a friendly tone as he quite enjoyed his time with Naruto but by nature he was suspicious of others and had to make sure of everything

"That's good. Bruce, what do you think of the city now? I am new and never actual saw what it looked like before so I was wondering, how much of a difference is there? I have been convinced that the Guardian is a hero but what do you think if you don't mind me asking." Naruto asked in a calm manner

'I didn't think he would actually open up on this topic. What is his purpose?'

"Gotham is much better now. It used to be the hub of all crime and the worst place in the USA. The Guardian brought peace that no one could achieve but he broke the law and killed of people without any evidence and in places where the death sentence didn't exist.

The Guardian operates above the law, which is concerning and as a human it makes me feel wary of anything going wrong. It has power, too much power over us and we have no way of stopping it or even knowing it did something.

I would feel better if it was visible and worked with local forces." Bruce replied without any bias just pure logic

Naruto nodded and smiled, the answer was clear and understandable.

"So you are okay with it killing, if it is visible and works with the forces. You know they wouldn't have problem with it since the police does kill criminals that resist arrest and are too dangerous to try capturing."

Bruce took in the words he heard and it was forcing him to remember the tragedies of his life because he didn't kill.

'Would killing them have been better? The police would have preferred killing them but they had jail them because I risked my life in capturing them.

Does it really make me a hero when I hear the curses of the innocents and the screams of despair of my people?

I wanted to be the hero that this accursed world deserves even if everyone was against me but does a hero mean that I should not kill.

The system is corrupt and the villains have escaped so many times, am I not also guilty as them for letting them live and take lives at their leisure?'

Bruce was feeling light headed as these thoughts surfaced and he remembered once again the day everything went to hell.

'If father had just brought guards like normal they would not have died. If that thug didn't exist my life would not have turned like this. If villains didn't exist life would be peaceful and no tragedy will happen.

Why do we treat them as human when they have thrown away their humanity?'

"Bruce, take a seat. You seem to be feeling tired." Naruto said in a worried tone and helped to the seats at the back of the room

"Thanks, could I get some water." Bruce muttered weakly, his mood had been destroyed and he felt weak

Naruto didn't have to step away and he massaged his Bruce's head as Raven brought some water.

"Drink and just relax, no need to think too much. Everything is alright." Naruto muttered gently his Bruce drank from his glass

Naruto was sure Bruce would hate him for this but he needed a dose of reality as it's already been three years and he has yet to come to terms tot eh fact that his way was not affective.

'A good medicine doesn't have to be sweet and is usually bitter, apt description indeed.'

---------------------------

While the men were sitting at the back, Diana stood opposite of Cassandra.

"Hello, my name is Diana and I hope we have nice spar."

"Cassandra and I wish for the same so please be careful." Cassandra replied as she took her stance, with her legs separated and one fist stretched whilst the other one was at her hip.

"Start"

Diana didn't move and waited in a relaxed stance as she wanted to see what her foe got.

Cassandra approached her and punched directly at Diana, which she saw easily and captured on instinct. It was not a good move as Cassandra was like a snake and she reversed the grip, capturing her arm and both girls dropped to the floor.

Diana was shocked as she couldn't react to the move fast enough and felt pain.

'He suppressed my powers and she is above human standard from what I see.' Diana thought as she resisted the pain and punched Cassandra, which forced her to move by pushing against the ground to get in the air and she dropped down with her knees

Diana rolled out of the way and blocked the kick that followed as Cassandra changed the approach mid air. The battle really showed they weren't human but it didn't go into too far in the supernatural category like superman or Flash.

"You are good. I apologize for underestimating you."

"I am honored but I will be increasing the difficulty so be careful." Cassandra replied as she moved in quick and hit her abdomen with her palm

Diana suppressed the grunt and hit Cassandra with her knee, which was blocked by her left hand but the force carried her into the air and made her sting.

Diana followed with a head but as Cassandra's body went up, causing her to hit the ground and bounce up as she pushed with her hands and kick upwards.

Diana hadn't followed through as she was still holding back from being a brutal warrior and she was hit in the chin by the kick. She was dazed by the force and put into choke hold while her arms were wrapped by Cassandra's legs.

"Please surrender or it will get more painful." Cassandra advised calmly, she didn't register the pain as she had gone through worst experiences by her own mother and then Naruto taught her to overcome it

"Stop" Naruto said and Cassandra let go immediately

Diana coughed violently as she gasped for air, her trachea hurt from the force applied on it and she stared at Naruto.

'This is so humiliating. I have been bested by a child; have become so soft while stayed in this land. I had so many openings to take opportunity off but I held back unconsciously and didn't continue my hits like I used to. I really need to visit home more or else I will decline in skill more and more.'

Diana felt her powers return and she was healed instantly from the damage, she got up and extended her hand.

"You were wonderful and I hope we can fight again." Diana said as she shook hands with Cassandra

"Likewise, I hope you can be serious next time."

Diana smiled as she could feel the little girl was a true warrior and she had blood on her hand.

'He is training them to kill. All her moves were dangerous and she didn't seem to hesitate in targeting those delicate parts.' Diana thought but she didn't have problem since she went through similar training

"Naruto, thanks for giving us your time but we will be leaving now. I don't feel well so we will meet later." Bruce said as he stood up

"I am always open for you, friend. So just give me a call." Naruto replied as he led them to the exit

---------------------

"What happened to you?" Diana asked as she saw Bruce saw weak

"I don't know but talking to Naruto reminded me of my past regrets and questions that I keep deep inside, which made me this feeble. But just as I had expected, they were not normal. Though, I never realized that you could be so good at acting." Bruce muttered weakly as he changed the topic since he was never comfortable about it

"Yeah, I didn't know either and it just happened." Diana replied as she looked outside the window and her eyes met with Hima

'There is something very much wrong with that child and she seemed to be threatening me.' Diana thought as she felt a chill across her body
