I'm getting spontaneous with my thinking now. I had re-watched the Deadpool teaser trailer and the game, and a story idea sprouted in my head. So, this will also be a challenge that you can do, send me a PM if you do, and the guidelines will be on my profile. Now, READ ON GOOD VIEWERS!

Project X

Chapter One - New Generation

Hiruzen looked at the open folder on his desk with a calm and neutral face but inside he was seething in anger. In his room was the civilian and ninja Council along with the Elders Homura, Koharu and Danzo. Everyone was looking at him eagerly, expecting an answer almost immediately. They have all heard what the contents of the folder said, and some were worried of the answer the Hokage would give.

Inside the folder was a long and descriptive twenty-five pages. It talked about a starting of twenty individuals, from clans and civilian families, ten male and ten female - names already picked out - being enrolled in a program labeled 'Project X'. 'Creating a new generation of soldiers' it described for new super-ninja.

Hiruzen blew out a plume of smoke before saying, "So, you want ten boys and ten girls for a project you and scientists have been working on?"

Danzo, the man that had come up with an idea, nodded. "To show you that I was not just thinking of myself, my daughter had volunteered to become one of them."

Hiruzen sighed as he looked at the young girl. But on the next page to the right was a blonde smiling boy, giving a thumbs up to the camera. "And you want the Uzumaki boy."

Danzo sighed. He knew this was going to happen. "Like everyone that was picked, he has a strong will and spirit. His regenerative powers would also be beneficial to his and everyone else's survival."

"And yet you don't want Sasuke or any other Uchiha."

"No, they are a curse and any more power given to some of them will be too much." Danzo said without a filter, saying what he truly thought. "Anyway, I already have two Uchiha. Why would I want that brat?"

Hiruzen tapped his finger on the page calmly and looked at the scientist next to Danzo. "What is the survival rate?"

The scientist, Akane Inoue, turned to her payer and got a grim nod. "A normal human would have a five percent chance, if any. But with the tests we have conducted, and the possibility of being able to accept young Uzumaki-san's regenerative cells, we have boosted that number to a fifty percent chance of accepting the cells. If they accept the cells, they will be able to have an eighty-five chance of living through the final tests. Only Naruto we are certain to live one hundred percent."

Hiruzen sighed. He didn't like it, but had to consult the whole council. "Anyone who wants this allowed?"

The whole of the Elder Council raised their hands, along with most of the civilian and ninja council. Hiruzen was genuinely surprised when he saw so many raise their hands. "So, it's settled. This is passed, and the twenty children will be enrolled. I have but one condition, Danzo."

"Whatever may it be?"

"If it looks like any of them won't make it, abandon your project on them and send them home." Hiruzen added darkly so that no one mistakened him as joking. "And that's an order."

Danzo nodded as he got himself to his feet. "I will never push it too far, Hiruzen. I'm not the same as when I created Root."

"Pray that you aren't, Danzo. Pray." Hiruzen said as he watched Danzo and Akane leave to get ready for their subjects.

Soon, six Anbu agents arrived before Hiruzen ready for their orders. They were each handed four photos, except two of them where one got three photos and the other got the last. "These are the children you will take to Danzo's lab building. Get them there without interference tomorrow afternoon."

(O.o) The next day - 18:34 (o.O)

Naruto sighed as he put down another cup of noodles. He grinned at the friendly cook. "That was good, Teuchi! I want another!"

The man chuckled at the young blonde before nodding whipping his spatula. "Sure thing, Naruto. What'll it be this time?"

"Miso!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.

"To go." A new voice said, opening the flap to show an Anbu agent.

Naruto's eyes went wide eyed when he saw the masked person. "Whatever happened I didn't do it!"

The weasel-masked Anbu chuckled at the young boys outburst. "It's okay, Naruto, I'm not here for anything that you might have done. We have somewhere to go, Ototo."

Naruto nodded at the man and stood up, waving goodbye to the ramen cook. "See ya later, Teuchi!"

Naruto hummed as he walked next to the silent teenager and kept a big smile on his face. "Ane! Ane! Where are we going?"

Weasel smiled under her mask and hugged Naruto close to her and rubbed his shoulder. "Don't worry, Naruto. You said you've always wanted to be a ninja. This is going to be a jumpstart to your career."

Naruto grinned and hugged Weasel tightly. "Will you be there to watch me, Ane?"

Weasel nodded and hugged the blonde closer. "Of course, Ototo. I'll always be there for you at most."

Naruto was going to ask more when he was stopped in his tracks by Weasel. "We're here." She said and pushed in a brick, making a click in the wall. A mechanical whirring came from behind the bricks as they were silently removed to show a metallic elevator. They walked in and Weasel pushed the button numbered as 'two'.

Naruto watched as Weasel took off her mask to show a black-eyed pale face. Naruto knew her as Ane, but others called her Itachi. She had been his handler, or bodyguard, since he was five and kicked out of the orphanage. Since then, he had lived with her since he was yet not old enough to take care of himself.

The elevator that had been descending stopped and nearly knocked Naruto off his feet from the unexpected event. He rocked to his left a little before gaining a resemblance of balance. He heard Itachi chuckle and huffed, puffing out his chest. "I meant to do that. I just wanted to make you laugh."

Itachi smirked with her chuckle and nodded. "Oh, sure, Naruto. Of course, you were."

(o.o)

Danzo silently watched as scientists got large metal equipment ready for the twenty participants. Their machines had to be ready to take Naruto's blood, contain it in a cold room and then be able to have enough for the rest of the kids. He felt someone walking over and heard the scratching of pencil on paper.

"So, you actually made it." Danzo said as he glanced a look at the writing, white haired man.

The man just grinned and stopped writing. "This would make a great story someday. Anyway, I have to see those that I will someday work with."

Danzo shook his head before walking off. "This better be another Gutsy Ninja story and not that smut."

Jiraiya immediately tore out a page from his book, crumpled it up and threw it over his shoulder before stuffing it in his pocket. "Of course not. These are just kids."

"Yes, they are." Danzo said and opened the door to a large metal room.

A cool breeze came from the fans above to keep the cold that occumulates in an underground facility. Twenty kids from ages twelve and thirteen talking or sitting around for something interesting to happen.

"Listen, children." Danzo said calmly, though he wasn't great with children. His daughter told her enough. "You've all been carefully selected for a special program developed by a large team of scientists. You will be tested, examined and, if you pass the tests, trained to become the next generation of ninja. Do you accept?"

All of the students started calling out their confirmation in excitement. Danzo held up a hand and, after a long while, put it down at the calm silence. "Now, you will follow this woman." Danzo motioned to Akane, who had appeared next to him. "Her name is Akane, and she will be taking care of all of you as you live here."

"Wait," one of the civilians asked. "Live here? We can't go home then come back?"

"No, to make sure that you follow the strict program we have, you will be forced to stay here. Now, follow her and she will lead you to your dorms." Danzo said before walking off to his own office, leaving Akane to take care of the children.

Akane coughed nervously as she looked at the focusing children. "Come, now, the facility is large and we don't want you getting lost."

"Are we going to eat soon?" A large, brown haired boy asked. "I'm getting hungry already."

Akane nodded. "We'll make a stop at the cafe so all of you can eat. Now, keep close and don't get side tracked. I won't be able to tell if just one of you wanders off from the group."

Naruto glanced up at Itachi and took the girl's hand, getting a squeeze of reassurance from her.

R&R. Sorry for this being short, but all of the others will be longer as we get more into the story. Now, this will have a lot of elements from comics, mostly Marvel, throughout the story. Anyway, see ya next time.
