Chapter Two: Introductions

"This is your room, Naruto." The group arrived the next day, early afternoon. The Professor spent the entire trip getting familiar with the boy. He had found that Naruto was an emotionally deprived teenager who never really had an attachment bar the man known as Kagami. Naruto had only a few people that he would consider friends but in his line of work, friends were a hindrance to the mission.

Xavier quickly found out that Uzumaki Naruto was a very powerful mutant, more powerful than he could have ever imagined. The boy was not only a very powerful psionic; he also possessed a vast array of powers that he had never seen in a single mutant. Naruto was also capable of blocking his telepathy, it was an interesting discovery but that meant he couldn't keep tabs on the boy's activities.

"Thank you very much." Naruto replied.

The Professor said, "I am sure you're very tired. I'll let you get some rest before you meet the others." Naruto nodded, he grabbed his three suitcases and walked into his room, closing the door. The Professor turned to Storm and asked, "What do you think about Naruto?"

Storm sighed, "He seems a lot like Logan when he first came to you but unlike Logan he isn't suffering from amnesia. I just hope he can move on from his past."

Naruto quickly zoned out the rest of the conversation. He didn't need any one's pity nor did he care about anyone in this mansion. He just needed to disappear. He opened up his suitcase; he placed the 100,000 dollars on his bed and a few passports. He had only managed to get a few of his weapons, it was lucky that all of his work was saved on his laptop because he had to torch the hideout. The Hand would have eventually found it and it would be very bad news if they got their hands on his work. He had blueprints for weapons that could

Naruto got out of his armour and took a seat on the bed, his laptop on his lap. He knew he had a lot of work to do including as much research as possible about New York City.

Hours Later

A sot knock made Naruto jump out of his concentrated trance; he had conducted hour's worth of research about New York and America in general. Naruto said, "The door's open."

Storm walked into the room and raised her eyebrow at the state of what had been a clean room. His armour was all over the floor, a pistol was on the floor with what looked a packet of daggers. Her eyebrows twitched, "Naruto…What did the Professor tell you about keeping weapons."

Naruto shrugged, "I don't see the harm of keeping a pistol in my room. People carry pistols all the time in America and my throwing knives were custom made."

Strom thundered at him, "I don't care if they were made by God himself, you will get rid of your daggers."

"No."

Storm almost fell to the ground at his blunt reply. She sighed, "Fine, Fine. The Professor sent me to get you for dinner,"

Naruto looked at the time and found out that he had spent way too much time surfing the web than he should have. "I will be right down."

Storm nodded, leaving the young mutant alone to get dressed. Naruto sighed as he got into his urban clothes set. He somehow knew that his experience at the mansion would be way too troublesome. Naruto quickly threw on some casual clothes, a plain black T-shirt and blue jeans.

He slowly made his way downstairs, not worried one bit about meeting another mutant. As he walked into the dining room, he was greeted by two young teenagers, one boy and one girl. He approximated that they were around 14 years old. The boy was a Caucasian of average build for a teenager his age; he had brown hair and wore red sunglasses. 'Wait Sunglasses indoors!'

The girl was a redhead but unlike his bloody red hair her hair was more orange than crimson. Her piercing green eyes watched him very carefully. She possessed very delicate features and an athletic build which told Naruto that she enjoyed sports. With the preliminary observations finished, Naruto continued to make his way towards an empty seat on the table.

Professor Xavier raised his eyes from his book when he heard Naruto take a seat. "So you came Naruto, I was just about to think that you didn't want any dinner."

Naruto shrugged, his face mirroring that of a bored individual. "I don't need food anyway; my body survives of ambient energy that is present everywhere in this universe."

Professor Xavier filed the information away for later, he continued to introduce Naruto to the two other occupants of the room. "Jean…Scott, this is Uzumaki Naruto. He is going to be the newest addition to the academy. He will also be enrolled into you year."

Jean smiled softly, "Hi I am Jean grey, nice to meet you Naruto." She looked over her fellow student with a careful eye, Naruto was very muscular for a teenager and he was extremely tall for their age. He possessed red hair that was comparable to blood and sharp horns extruding from his forehead.

Naruto replied smoothly, "A pleasure to meet you too. "

Jean asked "What are you powers."

Retaining his bored tone, Naruto spoke cryptically, "I have many."

Jean was annoyed with his response but was satisfied that he didn't ask the same question in return.

Scott intruded, "The Professor says you're the strongest mutant he has ever met. You don't look so tough."

Jean sighed and Naruto looked upon the boy with a lazy eye. 'An arrogant tone huh, I do hope that there is some substance in the words he speaks.'

Naruto spoke, "Telling from your body expression, I can see that you enjoy using the tough guy act. Perhaps a defence mechanism to deflect your own insecurities that your powers are inferior when compared to mine." Scott automatically placed his hand on his glasses, Naruto smirked, "So your powers are ocular based, huh. You wear those glasses to prevent you releasing any of your beams. Assuming the structures of those glasses are quartz, I would say that you possess concussive beams."

The Professor remained in awe at Naruto's quick analysis, it was also very accurate. Jean muttered that Naruto was some sort of genius and Scott looked as if he were fuming, if the frown was anything to go by.

Storm walked in with the food and placed on the table, taking a seat herself the group of five began to dig in to their dinner.

Next day

It was a Saturday, which meant that it was training day. Scott and Jean were both training in a room that Naruto learnt was called the danger room. He was not allowed into the room because the Professor wanted to see how powerful he was.

The Professor asked Jean and Scott to come to the control room, Storm then guided Naruto into the room. He wore his armour and his creepy ONI mask, Jean and Scott both looked scared, Naruto looked very dangerous especially because of the daggers strapped to his belt.

The Professor said, "Naruto, I am going to begin the simulation soon. The objective is to get a small orb. You cannot get tagged or hit, you are also not allowed to use your super speed."

Naruto nodded slowly, Xavier pressed a button and an orb slowly came out of the floor. The orb was being held in the far corner of the room. The professor said, "You may begin."

Naruto quickly back flipped as an energy beam came from his blind spot, he grabbed a pair of daggers. Two energy guns appeared and started firing beams rapidly. He stomped on the ground and a massive wall of earth covered him. A slow mist began to cover the room and Naruto heard Storm's voice, "Don't forget about me Naruto."

A small grunt came from Naruto as he was forced to dodge Storm's lightning bolts and energy beams heading his way. Without his Superspeed Naruto was left with his elemental power set and super strength. Burning white fire erupted from the wall; Storm had to fly higher as her mist was cleared with a massive burst of wind that made the white fire increase in intensity. Storm frowned, was Naruto actually trying to kill her. Her assumption was correct as she was forced to dodge two of his daggers. The Professor however had other plans for the young assassin; Naruto was entrapped in a steel cube.

Naruto sighed as he punched on the sides open, grabbing the rest of the cube he threw it at Storm who blew it away with a gust of wind. She was unprepared when Naruto hurled a stone boulder at her. Storm was hit with the boulder and she fell to the ground. He used some wind to cushion her fall. The Professor gave him a nod of gratitude. Storm groaned but was out of the fight, Naruto ran towards the orb dodging and weaving through a multitude of traps. With one final leap Naruto was about to grab the orb when a small energy cannon appeared in front of him. He was forced to use his Superspeed to dodge the point black shot.

Naruto stared at the Professor who smirked and said, "It seems you lose Naruto."

Naruto shrugged a burst of fire erupted from his feet burning the metal podium that held the orb and the accursed energy canon. Storm who had since recovered was surprised at Naruto's control of fire; he could raise the temperature of his fire very quickly. Scott and Jean were surprised, both of them had failed this test but Naruto had seemingly finished it. The Professor had purposefully placed that trap there knowing that it would be physically impossible for Naruto to dodge it without his Superspeed.

Scott muttered, "I take back everything I said, I feel sorry for the poor soul that has to fight Naruto."

Jean nodded but something within her had been awakened, a burning fire that was consuming her mind. An itch and a small thought that urged her to fight the young assassin. Naruto twirled his dagger and asked the Professor, "One more simulation Professor."

Xavier smiled, "Very well, you will be fighting Jean, Scott and Storm this time. No daggers though, your aim is deadly. "

Naruto smirked in his mask, "I'll take that as a compliment."

Scott and Jean looked anxious seeing Naruto looking ready for a good fight. A ring of fire surrounded him which then turned to ice; he snapped his finger as the ice turned into jagged daggers throwing them at the nearest wall. The Professor frowned, Naruto's elemental control was extraordinary, he possessed flawless control over each of his elements. The element's shape, form and state were all being controlled by the most dangerous assassin on the planet.

A question came to his mind, 'How powerful are you Naruto?'

The truth was at the end of the session; Jean and Scott were thoroughly beaten. Storm had survived the longest but Naruto overpowered her physically and she was quickly knocked out. He was capable of withstanding high pressure winds and her lightning bolts. Naruto learnt that Jean was telekinetic but she didn't possess good control over said power and Naruto easily knocked her out with a quick electric shock.

Scott was the most annoying to beat, his ocular powers were powerful and they did hurt Naruto. Not by much but the beam was strong enough to knock Naruto back a few metres. With a burst of speed, Naruto managed to dispatch Scott first.

Throughout the day, Naruto would go through several tests and the Professor would slowly log his powers. They had not been able to access his energy form that the Professor had witnessed yesterday and it was clearly vexing Naruto.

The Professor was admittedly impressed at both Naruto's intellect and mutant powers. He would be hard pressed to find a better ally against Magneto.

It was now nightfall and everyone had gone to sleep with exception of Naruto. Naruto had instead decided to go to New York City.

00:00 AM

Naruto walked through the very empty streets of New York, people were still around but it was nonetheless very empty. Parts of New York were infamous for its crime levels, Psychopathic Mutants would thrive in those parts of the city.

Naruto had memorized the map to the city already, this trip was to provide some context to the map he had in his head. He had also read several articles on superpowered beings in New York, the most notable being the Avengers. It appeared New York had a slew of 'villains' and 'heroes' depending on how you define them. He would rather mind his own business. It would do no one any good if he became famous, it was only a matter of time before ONI came after him and if they did everyone would die.

"Oh look its Iron Man!" A couple exclaimed, Naruto looked on with neutrality as Iron Man flew by. He shrugged and continued on his way that was until he heard a large explosion from the area that Iron Man was flying to. He quickly turned into one of the alleyway and jumped onto the roof of a building. His supernatural eyesight allowed him to see Iron Man dodging missiles; he wanted to see who he was fighting.

Naruto ran with his Superspeed leaping from building to building allowing him to reach the scene of the fight in a minute, what he found was intriguing. Iron Man was fighting some guy in a large red Mech like armour.

"Give up Dynamo, your armour is too old to compete with this particular model."

Dynamo spoke with a Russian accent, "Cocky as ever Stark." Several rockets were launched towards Iron Man who responded by doing the same. Another explosion rang throughout the dump yard. Naruto stood on the roof; he wondered why Iron Man had not defeated this guy yet. His question was answered when Dynamo managed to dodge Iron Man blast before grabbing his armour and throwing him into a steel beam. Iron man had better tech but Dynamo had better durability and strength.

He wondered if he should Iron Man but considering the sirens he could hear, he decided it was time to withdraw. He grabbed a dagger as he saw Dynamo attempt to clobber Iron man, he noted the battery system was on the back of the armour. It wasn't easy to target but Naruto shrugged and decided to give it a go. He threw the dagger with incredible strength and speed, the dagger practically ripped through the back of the armour allowing it to pierce the battery pack.

Dynamo grunted and turned around only to see a youngster on the roof. The young man looked like the generic urban kid wearing a hooded jacket and a tracksuit bottom. However what made him different was the fact that he gone in a blink of an eye.

When Dynamo turned around he was blasted by a unibeam. Dynamo said as he stumbled back "Seems you have new vigilante in town Iron Man." Iron Man didn't reply but Dynamo knew the Genius billionaire was just as curious as he was.

Xavier Mansion

Naruto walked through the foyer of the Xavier Mansion silently; his Hand training had made sure that he could be a ghost when he needed to. 'How was your journey Naruto.'

Naruto sighed; he should have figured that the professor would have figured out his plan. 'It was most fruitful Professor. ' He thought back.

'Next time you decide to go somewhere. Please notify me.'

'I'LL do just that Professor.'

Charles thought, 'Even though I can't read your mind don't think I can't sense your psionic signature. I am sure every telepath in America can sense it.'

Naruto frowned, that was most worrying. If he was a psionic beacon of sorts that would mean he wouldn't be able to complete any missions without being sensed by Professor Xavier. A smile adorned his thin lips, it seemed he had a new project to complete, how to avoid being detected by a Telepath. Perhaps he should open a blog or something.

A/N I apologise for the incredibly long wait, I was busy with University and two long eye surgeries that made me incapable of writing for a few months. I will update as regularly as I can. I am also making a new Marvel story for those of you that like the Marvel 616 universe, it will take place a few days after M-day.

Next Chapter will be the same except with a few flashbacks. Thank you and please review.
