----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pant pant pant
Something was panting on the shadows... a pair of blue eyes where seen in the darkness... it had a terror filled stare... he looked back... the forest looked like it was on fire... but in truth... the villagers had lighten up torches... he was running away from them, this has become a second nature to him
"No... I refuse to die here" the person thought as he ran away...
not far from here... a mysterious person was having a little "private party" a man of red eyes and a brown overcoat was entering the homes of the rich and powerful and taking some valuables... he then heard something
"Kill the demon!!" the voices of the enraged multitude said as they where chasing the so called demon
The person that was breaking in was none other than a member of a organization who keep peace between Humans and non-humans or more specifically... homo sappiens and hommo sappiens superior... otherwise known as mutants
His name? Remi Lebau and he is member of the x-men
He remembered how people used to persecute him due to his oddly colored eyes (a result of his mutation) but what he had seen shocked him
a small boy... no older then 4 was being chased by a mob... all of them brandishing weapons
"Ces't Merde!" Remi cursed in French as he jumped into the fray
He threw a few cards into the ground... the cards where glowing...
"Hey you! The gaijin, get out of the way.... that demon will kill ya!" said a person in the mob
"You ignorant fools! This here is but a child!" he said as he put his hand to protect the boy
"So the demon brainwashed you... well no matter... we will give you a peaceful death in here" as a few ninja charged in
"I rather not fight, not right now at least" he said as his cards glowed more brightly and then exploded
The explosion caught the attention of a few ANBU ninja... they quickly rushed over to see what was going on
It was a pursue... the villagers and a few ninja chasing after a man carrying a child...
but the chase had one weird element
Everything the man touched started to glow... and then it exploded
Trash bins, rocks, anything... they run as fast as they could... then they got into a dead end alley, the ANBU decided only to act if it was getting out of hands
Gambit then crouched and took a few deck of cards from his pockets
"Pick a card, any card" he said as he launched them at a really high speed at the pursuers
A few of them got the cards stuck on their bodies.... the cards later exploded... but not causing any fatalities
The ANBU then jumped in... the villagers stopped... the chase was over... they grumbled as they turned back...
Gambit was a bit tired... never having thrown so many cards so fast... he was also tired from using his powers... he was taken by the ANBU along with the kid... hi senses told him he could trust them, at least for the time being
He was taken into a large conference styled room... in it an old man was looking out the window
"We brought the intruder" The ANBU said
"Please leave him here... I wish to talk to him" the old man said
"But Hokage... what if-" the ANBU said
"Don't worry... I believe he is friendly... just go... this is now an order" the old man said
"Understood" they said as they vanished into thin air
Remi (alias Gambit) stood up with the child in his arms... the old man looked at him... the first thing he saw where his eyes
"Sharingan?" The old Hokage said
"I am sorry? What is that?" Gambit said
"Oh... I thought you must be an Uchiha because of your eyes... but... never mind... I wanted to thank you for saving that child" the hokage said
"You have a lot to explain... old man" Gambit said as he pushed a chair with his quarter-staff as threw the chair up and landed just behind him... he sat down
"This boy... he was to be seen as a hero... but this village... please believe that I have the best interests of the boy in my heart" The Hokage said
"There is an old saying mon ami... the road to hell is paved with good intentions" Gambit said
"Tell me... why do they call him a demon" Gambit said
"You are to understand what I am to tell you is a class SS secret... no one, not even some of the higher-ups know of this, so I trust your confidence dear that you know how to keep this secret" The hokage said
"I will promise nothing of the sort until after hearing the story" Gambit said
"6 years ago a monstrous demon appeared on the outside of our village... the demon was one of the great nine tailed demons... this one in particular was the strongest of them all the kyuubi no yoko, it attacked our village... it took our fourth hokage to sacrifice himself to seal the demon on the navel of a newborn... he chose his own son... for he would not ask someone else to do something he himself would not do... he wanted the village to look at his son as a hero... as the one who keeps our worst nightmare inside of him... away and keeping us safe... that never happened... the people turned their grief and sorrow to the boy... they looked at him as the representation of their looses and deaths... they used the boy as their outlet and thought of him as the incarnation of the kyuubi... many assassination attempts from the council of elders and from the civilians had happened... the poor boy may not survive much longer in this environment... my god... Minato... I have failed... I became so old and tired of my obligations that I turned a blind eye to this... I caused this... and the only thing I could dot was to prohibit the parents from telling their child about him... but their hate has transferred... and now... even the kids will not get close to him... due t their parents hate..." The hokage said
Gambit sat impassive... as he remembered his own past... how he used his powers to impress a girl... how it ended with the other boys ganging on him and beating him up... and the accidental blowing up of them... how he came from a street rat into the guild of thieves... his love... his enemies from the guild of assassins... his step father
"I will take the boy if you don't mind" Gambit said as he stood up
"Yes... He would benefit of being out of this village... please... do take him with you... I have something for him as well... some scrolls for his ninja training... he wants to become a leader to this village... I could never understand him... why of that obsession, but please ... help him grow strong... and bring him back... I may be saying this... but in the end is all up to him after all... I am not his guardian" Sarutobi said
They allowed Gambit to stay on a hotel as they waited for Naruto to wake up... he was bandaged and found himself on the hospital
"Awww crap... It happened again didn't it?" Naruto said as he took the bandages off... his body was fully recovered... not a single scar nor wound was on his body
"Uhmm... the petit kid has the same ability as Logan... impressive for him not being a mutant and all" Remi thought
"Naruto... this man here, his name is Gambit" The hokage said
"Hello bon ami" Gambit said as he extended his hand to Naruto who then shake it
"Naruto... how would you like to embark on a training trip with this man?" The hokage said
"Really?" Naruto said
"Only if you want to, what do you decide?" The hokage said
"Will I be able to come back?" Naruto asked
"of course bon ami" Gambit said
"What does bon ami, means?" Naruto said
"Oh... I didn't realize I was using my french... I am a sorry... bon ami means my friend in French... witch is a language" Gambit said
"You will be coming with me... I will teach you all I can on how to survive in a world that will be hostile... but you will have friends and a home... I will take you to a place that is like a home to most of us... is like sanctuary...you will not only learn combat, but also about science and literature and a lot of stuff and have people who you can relate and be friends with" Gambit said
The hokage came back with a bunch of scrolls for Naruto
"Will I be able to come back?" Naruto asked
"Of course... you are a civilian right now... once you come you will be able to become a ninja... but you will have to take the test... you will miss a lot of classes thought... but if you learn from these scrolls you might just pass the test" the hokage said
"We must be going now Naruto... I don't want to do an encore of yesterday's event" Gambit said
"then I will change... give me a minute" Naruto said as he put on his pants and jacket
"Well bon ami... are you ready?" Gambit said
"Yeah! Come on!eh... what is your name again?" Naruto asked
"My name is Remy Lebeau, but you can call my Gambit" Gambit said
"Let's get going... my transport will arrive in a few days... but we have to go to the rendezvous point" Gambit said
After walking for 2 hrs they got into a clearing.... a strange portal begun to open...
"Hey Gambit! Coming home?" a blond person said
"Ice-cube... how are you!" Gambit said
"Is ICE MAN!!! DAMNIT!!! I am not a kid anymore!" said Bobby
"Oui oui... I have a special guest with me" Gambit said
"Ah... is he like us?" Bobby said
"Non... he is something else... I am sure it will make the mansion more lively" Gambit said
They walked trough the portal... and appeared in a norther place... nothing like Naruto ever said
"Where are we?" Naruto wondered as he saw the beautiful decor of the garden...
"Bon ami... welcome to the X-men academy" Gambit said as many kids and teens and some adults came from the building
There where from many shapes and sizes... from furry to lizard-like and some normal... there was one that had wings... the one called iceman could cover himself on ice
He looked around... it was as huge, no bigger than the clan houses of the Uchiha or Hyuuga
"Is... is this... where I am going to live!?" Naruto asked
"Of course little... one" a voice said
"Eh? Who said that?" Naruto said
"Come into the door young Naruto... and take the flight of stairs and turn left" The voice said
Naruto obeyed the orders... he walked as he was instructed... he opened the door... in it he found an bold man on a strange wheelchair
"hello there Naruto" The person greeted
"You... how did you talk to me if you where all the way up here" Naruto asked
"I am Charles Exavier... and I am a telepathic person, meaning I can project my thoughts and read the thoughts of people due to my genetic mutation, meaning I am no longer what people call normal... my and my student abilities and of those of who hide themselves to fit in or in fear of being persecuted may come and join us to learn to hone their skills... and live in here..." he said
"But... I am not a mutant... does this mean I will have to go?" Naruto said
"Heavens no... this is a sanctuary for people like you... you are feared and persecuted for something you don't even know... and I had a little chat with the creature... quiet a beautiful mind it has" Charles said
"What creature?" Naruto said
"Well... I must tell you... inside of you, you hold a being of times immemorial... you are the keeper and the jailor of a demon called the kyuubi no yoko" said the proffesor
"So... they where right... I am the demon" Naruto said
"Nonsense... you are the only one standing in the way of her and the village... or so they think... the kyuubi is actually really a kind demoness... she was just being controlled by someone... I can't see him thought... because all she saw was his eyes... but he must be powerful in order to put her on his trawls" Charles said
"So... what you saying is that kyuubi is a girl... she never tried to attack the village... and it was all a setup from an ominous character who is powerful to enslave her? This sounds like a rather shoddy fan fiction plot if you ask me" Naruto said
"True... but nonetheless you have inside of you an unstoppable force of nature and you two have to live together and work together... you are her lifeline Naruto... and she will in turn will provide you with her energy and knowledge... you will learn how to control your powers and how to control it and use it in a manner that will benefit everyone" Charles said
"That sounds great! I wanna learn more and become the hokage of my village" Naruto said
"Ah yes... I was informed by Gambit of that... but for today you will not be doing anything... as a matter of fact... you will do nothing for this week, you will get to know your friends and instructors... and Gambit here has decided to take you in as his adoptive son... it appears he has taking a liking to you" The professor said
Naruto then bowed and then left... he walked around the compound... he found a furry blue creature who resembled a devil teasing a small girl.... the girl then phased trough the wall as the furry like devil disappeared in a cloud of smoke
There was a girl who turned into a wolf, and he accidentally bumped into a kid his age who could multiply every time he was hit
"Ooops, Sorry about that" Naruto said as he streched his hand out
"Is okay... it happens all the time" the boy said as he absorbed his clones
"Cool...."Naruto said as he saw this boy's abilities... he wondered then around the mansion to discover around... he then found himself on an indoor garden... it had many beautiful flowers... a dark skinned woman was watering the plants... but in a most unusual manner... she had a small cloud flying around watering with rain
"Wow... how beautiful" Naruto said as he saw the flowers
"I am glad you approve... this is a hobby of mine, my name is Ororo, also I go by Storm" she said patting the new boy
"You are a pretty lady" Naruto said (take in consideration he is a four year old boy with no prejudice)
"I thank you for your compliments child... now go on... you have a whole mansion to explore" she said with a wink
Naruto blushed as he ran off
He then found himself lost... he found himself on what appeared to be a lab... he found inside was a blue furry humanoid creature... at first Naruto was frightened... but he saw the face of the called beast... it had a gentleness that did not got with his fierce look
"Uhm...sorry... I got a little lost" Naruto said
"How are you? I am Hank Mccoy... I am a scientist... actually I would like for you to help me here... I been doing some experiments in here and I need someone to help me dilute this chemical... can you follow my instructions?" Beast said
"Sure... I guess" Naruto said
"Well I need you to mix the green vial with the purple vial... only pour a drop, or else" Beast said
Naruto accidental let a bit more than he was supposed and the compound exploded on his face... his face was covered in soot...same with beast
They both looked at each others face and laughed... after cleaning up and redoing the experiment... this time a purple haze came out... a smell of lavender could be smelt...
after bidding farewell Naruto walked then around the mansion once more... this time the girl phased trought him
"Gyahh!!" he said a bit terrified... thinking she was a ghost
"Ooops... sorry little one" she said extending her hand... this tie being solid
"I am Kitty, Kitty Pride, like, is nice to meet ya" she said
"I am Uzumaki Naruto, nice to meet you too" he said
"Like... is time for lunch... come on over to show you to the dinner table" She said as she grabbed Naruto and phased him trough the walls
"WOAH!!! WAY COOL!" Naruto said as he was phased trough walls
They sat down to eat at the dinning hall... the meals where warm and tasty... he felt right at home... no one judged him... no one was persecuting him... it felt so right
Naruto digged in the food... he ate a lot of everything
"Hallo there, kinder!" said the furry young boy
"Hello... hey.. I saw you earlier chasing that other girl... Kitty" Naruto said
"Ja, mein name is Kurt, but I got by Nightcrawler" said the boy
"Nice to meet you!" Naruto said
"This here is some of our friends, the one with the red sunglasses is Scot "Cyclops" Summers, next to him we have Jean Gray, then we got Rogue and Logan "Wolverine" the rest are basically new recruits, you will learn their names soon enough..." Nightcrawler said
"Wow... This is my room?" Naruto said when Nightcrawler teleported him to his room
"Yes... you even have a tv and stereo... and a really warm bed!"
Kurt said
Naruto jumped on his bed "This is awesome! My old bed was all rageddy and breaking.... thanks professor! And you too Kurt!" Naruto said as he hugged the fussy elf
"Allrigt already! Tomorrow you will meet the x-men team and your other friends! Off to bed" Nightcrawler said
Naruto sleep on a warm bed for the first time in his life
