Action Pack (fanfic)

Action Pack is a crossover of Naruto and The Spectacular Spider-Man set in comic book format. It starts off in Konoha, but due to one decision, the OC Kira and Naruto resign from the ninja roster and take up residence in New York City. This is where the worlds start to change due to the butterfly effect and effectively turn the world on its head.

Not to be confused with the Action Pack that aired Xena: Warrior Princess.


 * Absurdly Youthful Mother: Kushina looks very good for a woman her age…that is if people actually knew how old she was, as even her own children don’t know.
 * Action Duo: Naruto and Peter.
 * A Day in The Life: This is how the first chapter starts the story off with Kira making his food and sorting out the fridge.
 * Adorkable: Peter is this the first time he’s introduced.
 * Adults Are Useless: Kira has this attitude, and the only exceptions are his parents (birth mother included) and Anko. He even states that unless you’re no longer a teen, meaning that if you’re still under twenty, then you can’t really be considered an adult.
 * Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Kira will often pat Naruto on the head to show his affection.
 * Aloof Big Brother: While Kira seems like this at first glance, it is clear to anyone who looks hard enough that Kira shows how much he cares for Naruto with every decision he makes.
 * Alternate Universe: Yes.
 * Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: “Was it because of his age, his lack of experience, or because he couldn’t fry a hamburger and fries? “
 * Asian Rudeness: Kira plays this straight while Kushina and Naruto subvert it.
 * Asian Speekee Engrish: Averted as all three Uzumaki’s are able to speak English before they arrived in New York.

 * Blue Eyes: In both Naruto’s normal form and the form he lets people see, he has blue eyes with both, just in different shades.
 * Blue Blood: Kira.
 * Born Lucky: Both Naruto and Kira, which is rather cruel considering that it doesn’t apply to ‘real life’ and only to chance.

 * Color Character: Naruto’s alter ego is called ‘Black Fox.’
 * Crazy Prepared: Kira managed to set up a place to live in New York in the span of almost two days. It’s not so farfetched if you think about the fact Kira never even liked Konoha and would have made sure to have someplace to relocate to.
 * Crossover: Between The Spectacular Spider-Man and Naruto.
 * Cuddle Bug: Naruto is not afraid of showing just how much he cares about the people in his life.

 * Exceptionally Tolerant: Despite the fact the villagers treated Kira and Naruto so horribly, or at least only Kira, they are very tolerant and the breaking point was that they were going to effectively kill their mother.
 * Facial Markings: Naruto’s whisker birthmarks serve as this for his alter ego.
 * Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Kira is this in a literal sense as he looks good, but his mind is filled with quite unpleasant thoughts.

 * Humble Hero: Say what you want about Kira, he does though know what it’s like to raise yourself from the ground up and know better than to take things for granted.

 * Naruto: She’s great, she really is! Honest!
 * Kira: If that were true, then why do you let her hurt you?
 * Naruto: (weakly)She…she’s starting to like me?

 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Kira tells Naruto just how stupid this is when the latter explains that he can’t hurt Sakura for hitting him.
 * You Are What You Hate: A half example as Kira is shown to have an incredible amount of disdain toward humanity, yet he himself is half human, and the people who he cares about are also human. Justified in a way though as the acts of violence made against him and Naruto were committed by humans and humans were the ones who took the people he cared most for away from him.
