Chapter 14

Naruto and Konan continued their journey across Gotham, fixing things. With their super speed, they covered all of it and finished up majority of the criminals in a single night.

It was an easy job with the use of memory reading ability or they would have taken a long time to take out the hidden ones.

Once they were finished, the city felt better as majority of the evil had been taken care off. Now, only the people needed to adjust after the changes start affecting the world.

Naruto predicted that within a month, the city would have lost the dark clouds and become a bright city filled with heroism.

Finished with the task, Naruto and Konan teleported to the base where his guests were sleeping. Konan had been following him for hours and he had done a miraculous job.

She was honestly beyond shocked. He was truly impressive.

"You have exceeded my expectations, Emperor. But, can you replicate the same in a city where you have actual resistance?" Konan said as she walked beside him to the room where he had put Mister Freeze. The base was filled with greenery and this greenery was protecting them from the outside world.

Konan was impressed but the reality of Akatsuki was that they had been in a world with intense resistance. They didn't have the sweet ease of handling cities like Gotham because those cities would have hired powerful Ninja to fight against them, undoing all their efforts.

Naruto understood her concern and he wasn't proud of this simple act. It was an easy job. The real problem would be the cities with powerful beings that could take him out or give him a challenge.

"Patience, I have confidence in repeating the same in those cities. It will just take longer and require more effort." Naruto replied with a calm tone as he looked at his partner. He had taken care of Gotham because it was possible and it would help him see the reactions of other forces.

He didn't like making compromises and sacrifices when it came to the innocent people.

Konan expected some hesitation but this tone and confidence brought some light to her eyes and some confusion in her heart.

She didn't know if she wanted to see him successful or not.

"I see…I look forward to that day." Konan gave a nod and turned around.

"Thank you for the vote of confidence." Naruto smirked as he turned around and entered the room to find his new servant while Konan roamed the new base.

It was basic and lacked the equipment for now but it was protected and very comfortable.

Entering the room where temperature was well below zero, Naruto found his new servant unconscious in the middle of the room wearing his metallic suit. The man was a villain but his reason wasn't wrong. He was lost and misguided, and sadly continued to fall.

He was human, but Naruto could use him. Victor Fries was a genius and Naruto loved using ice.

As a child, Victor Fries was fascinated by freezing animals as a hobby he developed to escape the pressures of his brutal, control-freak father. His parents, horrified by his 'hobby', sent him to a strict boarding school, where he was miserable, feeling detached from humanity. That winter, when the other children went home for the holidays, Victor discovered that his parents had disowned him. He was thought of as in embarrassment, a mistake to be filed away and forgotten, and he never saw them again. In college, he felt that he may never feel a warm touch, but then came Nora, a beautiful athlete, with whom he fell deeply in love with and ultimately married. He later got a job teaching cryogenics at the local college.

Nora later fell terminally ill with a rare cancer. Fries left teaching and took on a job working for a large drug company called GothCorp, run by the ruthless Ferris Boyle, so he could find a cure. Using his great intellect and passion for cryogenics, Fries discovered a way to put Nora into cryo-stasis using company equipment, hoping to sustain her until a cure could be found. Boyle found out about the experiment and canceled the funding, but Fries continued with the project, leaving Boyle in huge debt. Boyle attempted to have Nora brought out of stasis and overruled Fries' frantic objections, during which a struggle ensued. As a result, Fries became engulfed in his own cryogenic coolants and was left for dead. Fries survived, but the chemicals had altered his body chemistry and his body temperature was lowered dramatically; he could now only survive at sub-zero temperatures. Fries escaped, unnoticed with the frozen Nora. In hiding, he invented a special refrigeration suit to stay alive, and used cryonic technology to create a powerful gun which fired a beam that froze any target within its range.

With this technology, he became a criminal called Mr. Freeze with a taste for diamonds and revenge. In his path to save his wife, he had killed countless people and lost all sign of humanity.

The problem itself wasn't even hard to solve by the standards of Naruto's world and especially the current world. Batman could have easily solved the problem, but somehow never did.

Naruto wondered if the Bat was insane or narrow minded that he never even cured the cause of some of his enemies.

Naruto could solve the problem for Victor, but for now he intended to use it as a reward. He wanted the man to suffer for the damage he had caused.

Reading the memories of Victor, Naruto had already placed some safety measurements on the man's wife by sending a clone.

With that done, Naruto deactivated the seals on Victor's body that were forcing him into unconsciousness.

The sleepiness disappeared instantly and Victor moved calmly to a sitting position. He didn't react violently, just logically. He understood his position very quickly.

The pale man looked at his kidnapper with a curious gaze, trying to find his motives and identity.

"How can I help you?" Victor asked as that was the only reason someone would kidnap him.

Naruto smiled as he looked at him.

"Many things Victor, I need your help with researching thermal manipulation and creating suits to counteract the elements. You are a smart man and that is why you sit before me." Naruto replied in neutral tone as he was seated on an ice throne.

Victor expected as much.

"Do you have the necessary resources? And, what is my compensation?" Victor was a cold man. He didn't mind working for others. But, he never worked for free.

He needed money and resources to save his wife.

"Do you deserve any compensation?"

Victor's eyes hardened at those words, "I am not scared of death or torture."

"Haha, those are words uttered by a man that hasn't met my kind of people. You will definitely be scared of torture, Victor. That is a fact." Naruto gave a disdainful laugh as he stood up while Victor found ice crawling up his body.

He looked at those red orbs and understood that the client was dangerous.

Naruto walked closer to him and looked down.

"Victor, I am the Emperor of Mankind and you are a criminal. You lost your rights on the day, you took an innocent life. The only reason you are alive is because I intend to give everyone a second chance.

You will serve me and I will decide when to compensate you for your services. Don't look at me like that, as you might end making me serious about the torture. Yes, you will suffer for what you have done.

I am not going to let you off with a pat on your back, Victor. You should ashamed of what you have become. Are you the person that Nora loved? Of course not, you are something she despises."

Victor glared at Naruto, "Stop this nonsense! You know nothing about sweet Nora."

"But, I do. Victor, I have read you and I have read her…. I can bring her back, Victor." Naruto replied with a smile and a whisper of a utopia.

His words stopped Victor in his tracks, "What?"

"I can bring her back with a snap of my fingers, just like that. But, I want you to change and pay your debt. Change yourself Victor and greet Nora as a good man that she loved."

Those words broke through the cold man. Everything in his life revolved around his wife. For her, he would do anything.

The sweet memories slipped through the cracks and he couldn't help put tear up as hope filled his heart. Logically, he had no reason to believe him. But, his heart didn't listen.

"I will do anything for you, if you can bring her back. But if you lie to me, I will drag you down to hell for this cruel game." Victor spoke up and there was a fire in his eyes for the first time in years.

He finally had some hope to reunite with his sweet Nora.

"I like that spirit, and don't worry. You will meet Nora soon, as I would save any innocent life when I can. For now go to sleep and feel the pain you have caused this world." Naruto placed his hand on Victor's bald head and poured ice chakra into his system.

Victor was highly compatible with ice and with the inclusion of chakra, his DNA mutated further and he grew in power.

Victor developed ice abilities and super stats.

Before he could indulge in the comfortable and safe feeling, Victor was dragged into his punishment.
