Chapter 1: Game Night
Bayville had scored another touchdown. The score was now 49 to 17.
The young man leaned back in his seat, brushed the spiky blonde hair out of his eyes, and put his hands behind his head with a sigh.
"Had I known this was going to be such a shutout I would have stayed home and got some training in. I thought you said this would be a good game, Scotty," he said as he looked towards the sky bored out of his mind. The other team wasn't even putting up a decent fight, something that he could at least appreciate.
His friend sitting there with him was fiddling with a coin in his hand, his eye twitched at his given nickname causing the ever present red shades on his face to shift a little.
"What can I say, I heard they were better than this," Scott Summers replied but his gaze didn't not turn away at the sight of the redheaded girl taking pictures of the scoring player on the field.
"Ma, I'm going to go grab a soda or something. You want anything?" asked the blonde as he got up from his seat.
"Nah, I'm good," said Scott finally turning his attention to him.
He wore a button up black short sleeved shirt with a white tank top underneath, a pair of orange shorts, and blue sandals. He was just a few inches shorter than Scott himself, expected since he was a year younger than him. His wild golden hair and ocean blue eyes were already eye catchers but what really made him stand out were the whisker marks on his face, two on each cheek. But Scott was used to his appearance now, knowing him ever since life had changed forever. He was his best friend. Naruto Uzumaki.
"Thanks anyway, Naruto."
"Bah, you always say that," said Naruto shaking his head and pointed at Scott, "Fine, but don't complain when I come back with a nice cold drink and you start getting thirsty. Totally not giving you a sip."
Naruto then made his way down the stands and towards the snack bar but not before bumping into a greasy looking boy he knew as Todd Tolansky accidentally knocking him down on his rear.
"Hey watch where you're going, Goldilocks," said Todd with a grunt. Naruto put up a cheeky smile and scratched his cheek.
"Ah, my bad. Sorry," said Naruto. He offered him a hand back up but Todd merely hopped up, it looked pretty unnatural when he did too which made Naruto cock an eyebrow.
"Yeah you better be sorry, chump. You're lucky I have things to do right now," he grumbled as he marched past Naruto who had a confused look on his face. Todd needed to get swiping while the swiping was good, there was no time to deal with airhead blondes right now.
"Man, some people," said Naruto with a shrug as he watched Todd slink towards the stands. He turned and went about towards the snack bar and he was almost there when a lovely, young voice called out to him.
"Hey Naruto!"
Naruto stopped and looked towards the direction of the voice, the redhead that Scott had been watching closely earlier.
"Yo, Jeanie-chan! What up?" he asked as she walked up to him, her long red hair flowing as she did so. She was the same height as him. She always had been.
"Are you leaving already? It's not even half way through 4th quarter yet," she said with a frown.
Naruto shook his, "Nah, just grabbing something to drink. But this game is so boring that is sucking the life outta me!"
Jean giggled and coy smile on her face, "Naruto, you do know the Snack Bar was scheduled to close early tonight right?"
"What?!" exclaimed Naruto. A few people gave him a weird look. Jean just sighed. Despite being raised most of his life in an English speaking household and speaking it perfectly, Naruto sometimes reverts to his original language when surprised or frustrated.
"Are you sure?" he asked frantically.
Jean nodded, "There was an announcement about it early today. Weren't you paying attention?"
Naruto shook his head, "No! I was too busy doodling my greatest doodle ever. Damn this sucks!"
Jean knew enough Japanese to understand that comment and gave the blonde a hard stare, "Naruto, language."
Naruto froze up and let out a nervous laugh, "Haha, sorry Jean. I got worked up. Man, I'm really thirsty now too."
Jean just shook her head, "Come on, let's find Scott. I have enough pictures for the paper and the game is almost over. Might as well try to beat the crowd out of here."
They started walking back towards the stands when Naruto asked, "What about Duncan?"
Jean shrugged, "He already knows I planned to leave a little early tonight to study for tomorrows test. He seemed ok with it."
Naruto cocked an eyebrow, "You didn't read his mind?"
Jean scoffed, "Naruto, you know that would have been a complete violation of trust on my part. Remember what the Professor has been teaching us all these years?"
"Just because you can do something doesn't make it right. What makes it right is the intention behind the action," said Naruto in a dull voice, "Yeah I know it, I've been hearing longer than you."
Jean just sighed, "If that is the case then why are you the one that is always causing tro-" She stopped talking as she heard some pretty loud mental activity coming from under the stands.
Naruto saw the worried look on her face and asked, "Something wrong?"
Jean nodded and briskly walked toward the disturbance with Naruto closely following her. When they reached the opening, they saw both Scott and Duncan grabbing each other with their fists held high.
"Scott? No!"
Scott, distracted by Jeans' call, received a sucker punch courtesy of Duncan knocking his shades off.
"Scott!"
Duncan was then blown away as the immediate area was filled with red energy that reached all the way to the Snack Bar and hit the gas tank out front which erupted into a fiery explosion scaring away the crowd.
Jean just looked on with horrified expression on her face.
Naruto palmed his face and just had one thing to say.
"... Crap."

******************
Naruto leaned against a car that had just pulled up outside of the football field. The window rolled down and revealed a finely dressed bald man with who had a look of concentration on his face.
"What's the verdict, sensei?" asked Naruto as he watched the ambulance on the field. Jean was talking with Duncan who seemed to have a concussion. Scott stormed off having watched the whole thing.
"Everything is under control here. Thank you for the timely call, Naruto," said the man who relaxed back into his seat.
"Ma, it's no big deal," said Naruto with shrug. He then looked up to the sky and gave a cheeky grin, "Guess Scotty was the one to cause trouble today."
"Indeed. Perhaps I should have a talk with him later about it," said Professor Charles Xavier as he linked his finger together with a serious look on his face.
Naruto gave the top of the car a pat and turned to the Professor with a smile, "Nah, leave that to me sensei! I'm sure he feels plenty bad about it anyway. Besides, wouldn't it be best to try and have everyone nice and calm for when the new guy shows up?"
The Professor looked at Naruto before giving a small smile, "Very well Naruto, I'll leave Scott to you. Now we better hurry, we have a train to catch."
"K, see ya later sensei," said Naruto as he walked in the direction that Scott did but not before stopping but the passenger side door and waving at the driver. "Bye Windy-chan!"
Ororo Munroe smiled and waved back as she drove off towards the train station. Naruto sighed as Jean walked up to him now that the ambulance carrying Duncan had gone.
"So, the Professor knows?" she asked timidly.
"Yep. Don't tell Scotty though, let it be a surprise," said Naruto with a little laugh.
Jean looked down and crossed her arms. "Did you see where Scott went?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head and nodded, "He probably went to get his car and head home."
Jean let out a frustrated groan, "Gah! What has he thinking fighting Duncan like that?"
Naruto walked into an alleyway and turned back toward Jean. "Ma, let it got Jeanie-chan. He probably didn't like it anymore than you."
Jean watched as a soft, golden glow outlined Narutos' legs. Naruto gave her a big, toothy grin and a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, Jeanie-chan! Everything is gonna be ok, see you at home!"
And with that Naruto ,in one powerful jump, launched to the top of the two story building and dashed towards the parking lot leaping from building to building before finally landing on the top of the building beside the lot. It was pretty empty save for a few cars, one of them being a red sports car with two white stripes down the middle. Sitting in the car was Scott who just seemed to be staring into space.
Naruto did one last checked to make sure the parking clear then took a running jump and landed a few feet from Scott in a crouch. As he stood up straight, the soft glow disappeared and he walked up to Scott who still hadn't acknowledged him.
"Yo," he said after a few seconds of silence.
"... Hey," replied Scott in a low voice. He still didn't meet Narutos' eyes.
The silence between them lingered.
"Wanna talk about it?" asked Naruto.
"Not really," said Scott. He still couldn't believe he let things get that out of hand.
"... Wanna go grab some food?" asked Naruto again. Now Scott looked up and finally met Narutos' blue eyes. There was no judgment, no anger, no disappointment. Just Naruto being Naruto. He smiled.
"Sure, there are some left over burgers in the fridge. They might be worth warming up."
Naruto smiled, "You can keep your burgers, I'll be cooking me some ramen."
Scott knew he would say something like that. He smirked, "You finally going let me give you a ride?"
Naruto jumped a few feet back. "Ha! No way you'll trick me into your screaming metal deathtrap that easily. I'll meet you there... Better yet I'll race you there! Loser has to do the dishes, Scotty!"
Narutos' legs glowed again but this time it was a stronger, brighter glow. He dashed towards woods at the edge of the parking lot, leaped into the trees, and started jumping from branch to branch making a beeline toward the mansion. His fading image looked like a candle in the dark before quickly vanishing.
"Hey! That's not fair!" yelled Scott as he turned his car on and raced out of the lot. He knew that he would be doing dishes tonight but at the moment he somehow didn't care too much.
It has been awhile hasn't it?
Anyway I was recently rewatching some X-Men Evolution while reading the fantastic fanfic Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618(seriously, go check it out)when this idea popped into my head. I hope I can stay inspired enough to at least get through the first season.
If anyone is wondering if any other Naruto characters will show up then let me say that there will only be a few. One is probably easy to guess. It won't be Sasuke let me tell you that but the other one will be highly unlikely that someone will guess who.
Anyway it will follow Evolutions plot pretty closely but I might come up with something unique here and there.
And no, no Kyubi, no ninjas, no chakra. This is set in the X-men universe and as anyone can see, Naruto is a mutant. As for his history, life, and power? Well, just stay tuned.
Peace.
