Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Marvel. I'd like to work for the latter though...I've got some bitchin' ideas.

Evolution of a Hero

Teleporting Trouble

A month passed since Naruto's enrollment to Xavier's Institute.

Since then, Naruto had gained some more focus with his Hirashin. While the Professor had told him what the Hirashin really was, he still called it that to honor his father. He had forgiven his parents for their sins and took to training to surpass them. As he was, he was already a Beta-class mutant, well on his way to Alpha according to the Professor.

Though the credit for that goes to Logan.

The much older mutant was cold and had a crude attitude about him. Of course when Naruto decided to try and ride his bike, due to being curious about the machine, the younger mutant learned just why people called him 'The Wolverine'. Logan's claws nearly shredded him the first time they fought, but when Naruto had pulled a kunai to defend himself, both he and Logan were shocked to find the blade held its own against Logan's claws. Upon investigation by the Professor, Naruto learned that most of the metallic alloy in his arsenal was made from adamantium; the same metal that was grafted onto Logan's skeleton.

The spars that came over the next week made him shudder as he thought about them.

All Naruto could do was thank his ancestors for the healing factor and longevity that came with the Uzumaki name, something he learned from Xavier. The Professor had the privilege to meet the Uzumaki clan before their eradication and extinction. It explained a lot for the blonde, and made him relieved to know that it wasn't the fox healing him, but his own genetics.

Speaking of genetics, the Professor had bestowed upon Naruto notes and journals that his father wrote. It seems while Minato Namikaze was here, he had left some inklings behind. Like Kushina Uzumaki's 'chakra chains': her signature technique in the Third War.

The second Naruto thought about them, the chains themselves appeared around his arms. He showed this to the Professor, and they both learned that the chains reacted based on emotions.

Leading to his meeting with Ororo Monroe, the weather-controlling Storm. The teenage boy found himself enjoying his lessons with the woman, who had taken to mothering him when she learned of his slightly similar upbringing. He cursed the men who thought of shopping malls to this day, and then cursed his new surrogate mother for restricting his ramen. He couldn't argue with the effects though, considering he now stood at a respectable 5' 6" and would only keep growing. The worst time however would be when he demonstrated his Oroike no Jutsu (Sexy Technique) to the Professor, Ororo and Logan.

Considering he saw Wolverine fly outside a window due to a bloody nose, the lightning strike was worth it.

The other two members of his 'class' were Scott Summers and Jean Grey, two juniors at Bayville High.

Scott was a stick-in-the-mud, or a boy scout as Logan called him. He followed rules and did the best he could for good causes. His mutation was a optic blast that, rather than heat, were more like concussion blasts. Being hit by one wasn't fun at all, that much Naruto knew from personal experience. He was pretty sure that the sunglasses Scott wore were not custom and just for show, and rather than deal with another Sasuke, he decided to put the teen in his place.

The Professor was trying not to smirk when he explained Scott's unfortunate accident and the lack of control over his powers.

Jean Grey...now there was a woman. Naruto could see why Scott followed her like a lost puppy, Hell; he shot the older teen a smirk when his foxlike features caused her to cuddle him. It was funny to see Logan choke on his beer when he failed to stifle his laughter. However, he didn't see her in that way like Scott did, though teasing the two was fun as Hell.

The one thing he regretted was being forced to meet his tenant when Jean invaded his mind when she wanted answers on a date Scott had. He knew that Jean was a Telekinetic and Telepath...he just didn't know she was that strong. The damnable Fox nearly hurt her and it was because of that incident that he now had limited access to his chakra. To ensure no one else would encounter the Kyuubi, Professor X built up several mental blocks that could only be held up by constant chakra being forced to them. Thankfully the chains were not made from chakra but from a different energy source, the Professor and Jean hypothesis that it's a type of psionic energy.

Concerning his studies, when he had learned he was to be a student there was a small whine, before Logan smacked that habit out of him. The Canuck had become the blonde's role model, something Xavier wasn't sure was a good thing or a bad thing.

However it was strenuous to scold Naruto time after time whenever he was sent home early from the school. The boy said nothing, but Professor Xavier learned from Jean that Naruto had been picking fights, rather, people picked fights with him.

Like right now.

"What'd you say?" A bulky teen wearing Bayville High's football jacket asked the blonde. Naruto shook his head and crossed his arms as he stood in front of a knocked over girl a year older than him. Naruto's lunch had been going rather well, until he heard a slap and a angry yell. Apparently, a sophomore had been moved to the varsity team and was harassing his girlfriend for a 'reward'. The girl said no, and when he playfully tried to entice her into it, she slapped him. He had shoved her down and that's when Naruto made his move.

"You heard me, teme," the blonde said to the teen as he tightened the grip on the taller boy's arm, "You touch this girl again, and I'll beat you until your children's children have bruises."

A crowd was starting to form by now, but Naruto kept his cool. Thanks to Mama Ororo, or O-Kaachan as he called her, he was much better at keeping his chains at bay.

The football player scowled and threw his other fist out, "Stupid Freshman!"

Naruto caught the other fist in his other hand, pulling the teen down and slamming their heads against one another. The football player stumbled backwards and his hands went to his nose as blood gushed down from it. The corner of Naruto's mouth turned upwards and he cracked his knuckles.

Before the teen could retaliate, Ms. Darkholme walked into the fray and demanded, "Somebody tell me what you are all doing? Mr. Houser! Mr. Namikaze, did you do this?"

Naruto scowled and crossed his arms, "I was defending myself and my fellow student."

Ms. Darkholme looked behind the blonde to see another blonde girl with a stripe of purple in her hair. With a frown, the principal looked back at the sophomore, "Ms. Braddock, is this true?"

The girl nodded sadly as one of her friends helped her up. She spoke with a light English accent, "Yes. Doug started it, ma'am..."

"Betsy!" Doug Houser exclaimed in shock. He flinched when the principal's gaze turned to him. She looked murderous.

"Houser. My office," she spat. Upon seeing him still sitting on his ass and pinching his nose shut, Ms. Darkholme yelled, "NOW!"

"Y-Yes ma'am!" the teen yelped before glaring at Naruto. Naruto's smirk was gone and an equally, if not more so, murderous look was on his face. The teen decided to cut his loses then and there, scrambling to his feet before being marched to the principal's office with said woman. The crowd disbanded, disappointed there was no fight.

Naruto crossed his arms and pouted, Man...She always steps in just before I can have fun.

"Um, e-excuse me?" Naruto's left eyebrow arched slightly and he turned to see his fellow blonde looking at him with a smile. Seeing the pretty and, thankfully unharmed, girl smiling at him, the blonde gave her a grin back.

Now why was she red?

"Hey, sorry I broke your boyfriend's nose," he apologized, his right hand going to the back of his neck as he did so, "I...Back home we have a very bad gang problem and girls weren't treated well." Well, civilians weren't anyway. No one save for a brain-dead bandit or a strong shinobi would dare try and rape a kunoichi.

"Oh...um, don't-don't worry about it," the girl said with a small smile, "I think we're through though. Um...Elizabeth Braddock, but you can call me Betsy."

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze," Naruto greeted as he took her hand and gently shook it, "You can call me anytime."

He chuckled when her face flushed and removed his hand, "Kidding, sorry. I'm a bit of a Joker around my friends and people with friendly vibes are victims to my awesomeness."

Betsy giggled, "Don't let it go to you're head. Thanks again, Naruto."

"Anytime Betsy," her fellow blonde said as he went back inside at the bell. The blonde stuffed his hands into the pockets of his dark cargos as he walked. Before he reached his locker, a pair of hands shoved him into it. Naruto's own hands went to his face to cover the healing cut under his eye, quickly wiping it away as he was spun around and slammed into the lockers as someone grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"You little pissant!" the star quarterback Duncan Matthews snarled, "Do you know what you just did?"

Naruto blinked before reaching up and wiping the spit from his eye, "Um...I pissed off the wrong sprinkler system?"

Duncan slammed him into the locker again, "No you little idiot! You got the replacement for our injured guy suspended! We're gonna have to forfeit the game this Friday!"

Naruto blinked, "(Sorry, the language you have used was not understood. Please place me down, and fuck off)."

"What'd you just say?" Duncan growled before the bell rung again. With an irritated huff, Duncan released Naruto's shirt, but not before warning him, "You'd better fix this, pissant. Or I'm gonna fix you!"

"Dude! I'm fifteen! Not only is that wrong, but it's illegal! And you're cheating on Jean-neechan!" Naruto cried out, getting the hallway's attention. Duncan went red with rage and stormed off before any more rumors could be spread. His work done, Naruto dusted his hands and gave a proud smile to the audience.

Giving a mock bow, he then said, "I'll be here all week folks!"

"Did you have to push Duncan's buttons, Naru?" Jean asked with a groan as Scott drove them back to the mansion. Naruto idly picked at his ear from his spot in the back seat of the convertable 2001 Mustang.

"Jeanie, you're lucky I didn't string him up and play piñata with his ass," the blonde shot back. He examined his finger and flicked it to the air before looking at Scott, "And what's with being late at lunch, Shades?"

"I wasn't late," Scott said with a sigh, "I was watching you from the crowd. You're lucky Betsy Braddock backed you on that, Naru. And as much as I hate to say it, Duncan's right. We needed that little jerk-off for the game."

Naruto scowled, "Wow, Scott. Just wow. You sucking up to Jeanie again, or is this your inner Eagle coming out?"

Scott glared at Naruto in the rear-view mirror as they came up to a stop light, "...Screw you."

"Nah, that's Jeanie's job," Naruto chuckled out before freezing as he felt an ominous glare on him. Looking up at Jean's infuriated green eyes, Naruto blinked twice before snapping his fingers, "I just remembered that I have an essay in English due tomorrow! Ciao!"

~Vssht~

Jean nodded before looking at Scott, who was doing all he could to focus on the light. There was a light pink tint to his cheeks and she thought, Is the sun reflecting off his shades or is he blushing?

Before she could ask him, the light went green and she swore Scott broke the speed limit. Neither of them were aware of the wide-eyed blonde girl in the passenger seat of an V8 Vantage S Coupe Aston Martin, who then looked to ask if her mother had seen what she had, only to be ignored as her mother talked on the phone.

Naruto growled in irritation as Wolverine slashed at him within a dojo hologram. The blonde rolled to his right and spun the kunai in his right hand into a reverse hold while reaching towards the Canadian mutant. A bright orange chain shot out and wrapped around Wolverine, blending in as it bound over his orange and black outfit.

Naruto wore a smaller version of what Wolverine had, minus the mask, with his headband sewn into a faceguard similar to what Jean wore, only a dark orange. Buckled orange gloves and boots were covering his arms and legs. Two kunai holsters were on either leg and his belt had been modified to have two weapons pouches. It had taken a promise of one month's worth of chores and a lot of begging in order to get this outfit.

Totally worth it.

"(Come on, ya old fart)!" Naruto exclaimed with a smirk as he began pulling the struggling Wolverine in. His strength was just shy of the older mutants, but then again, this was a lesson and damn it he was gonna ace it!

Once he had pulled the Canuck in, his smirk fell when Logan spoke, "(You're getting slow, Whiskers. Can't ya smell it? I wanted you to pull me in!) RRAGH!"

With a roar, Wolverine broke the chains and pounced on the blonde. Naruto yelped and dropped to his back, vanishing with a ~Vssht~. Wolverine groaned and grumbled under his breath, "End simulation. The brat forfeited when he flashed. Mark it as my win."

"As you can see-" Professor X was just introducing Scott and Jean to the newest student, who wore a hooded jacket, when Naruto flashed in.

~Vssht~ "Oof! Ow..." Naruto groaned as he landed on the edge of the desk in the Professor's study. The blonde rolled to his side and landed with a plop, earning laughter from his two older 'siblings' and a snicker from the newcomer.

"Well, what perfect timing, Naruto," the Professor joked, "I was just about to ask you and Wolverine to come upstairs. We have a new student."

Naruto was on his feet faster than the others thought and he crossed his arms, examining the hooded newcomer, "What's wrong? You some sort of vampire or something?"

The newcomer looked at Xavier, who nodded reassuringly, before reaching out with a blue hand. Naruto glanced at the hand, the faceless hood, and back before beaming and slapping the three-fingered-appendage. He quickly gripped the hand, shaking it enthusiastically, "Finally! Someone normal!"

Jean and Scott glared at the blonde that indirectly insulted them while the blue-handed mutant nervously replied, "V-Vhat? Vhat do you mean?"

Naruto rolled his eyes and vanished in a yellow flash before reappearing with the hooded jacket on his arm. Bowing to the revealed mutant, Naruto spoke in a faux stuffy accent, "Allow me to take your coat, good sir!"

The new mutant recoiled in fear at being revealed while Jean and Scott gasped. He was...blue! All of him, blue hair, skin, tail...Hold up, Tail? The poor physically altered mutant bit his lip and stepped back again, his tail going between his legs as he did so. Jean took note of his state of dress; ragged and worn out clothes, handmade and handed down, cotton if she guessed.

"Ah, I am, er, sorry," the boy said, a thick German accent coming from his mouth, "Do I...Frighten you?"

Scott and Jean were unsure of how to react before Scott stepped forward, "No. No, you don't. Scott Summers."

"Ah, pleasure," the boy said with a wide smile, "Kurt Vagner."

Naruto offered the boy his jacket before gripping his hand again, "My name's Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Anything else you can do aside from look like a blue verson of Hellboy?"

"NARUTO!" Jean exclaimed in anger. Naruto glanced at her in confusion.

"What? Don't tell me he doesn't look badass!" Naruto said before grabbing Kurt's right arm, "...You wanna put a giant slab of concrete on this? Bet'cha the girls go nuts."

Kurt pulled his hand back and vanished in a puff of black smoke, the sound being a muted Bamf when he reappeared on the other side of the room. His tail was wagging slowly and a smirk was on his face.

"Let's...save zat for another time, mein fraud," Kurt said nervously. Naruto blinked before whooping in glee. He jumped up and vanished in a yellow flash.

~Vssht~ Kurt jumped when the blonde teen appeared next to him with an arm over his shoulders. The blonde with whisker marks gave a foxlike grin that Xavier knew was going to bite him in the ass. The next words that left the boy's mouth didn't help with that feeling, "Porters in the X Mansion! Boo-yah, buddy! Ya ever play tag?"

Kurt blinked and slowly nodded. Naruto beamed before slapping him on the shoulder, "Good! TAG! You're it!"

~Vssht~

Kurt blinked several times before grinning wildly, "Not for long, mein fraud!" Bamf

Scott and Jean exchanged a glance of worry. One teleporter caused enough chaos...what would two do?

"Mr. Tolansky, do you-?" "Call me Toad," A teen with a heavy Brooklyn accent grumbled, interrupting Ms. Darkholme who then glared at him. He had holes in his jeans and wore a sloppy long sleeved shirt. His teeth were yellow and she could have sworn his tongue was green.

"Fine. Toad, do you know why I called you here?" she asked. Toad slapped his legs before giving her a raspberry and two thumbs down. Clenching her teeth and fist, Darkholme continued, "I want you to break into Xavier's academy and scout the mansion."

"Uh, question!" Toad said, his hand shooting up, "Why should I?"

"Because Toad, while as your principal I may be unable to do anything," the woman said as she removed her glasses, her eyes turning yellow as she glared down at him, "As your legal guardian...I can make sure your life is a living hell!"

"ACK! Alright, alright...ya don't have ta be pushy, I'll do it, sheesh," Toad relented, his hands up in a surrendering position. He sat back down and put his hands behind his head, "When do ya want me ta do it?"

"Tonight, no exceptions," Darkholme instructed with a warning tone in her voice. He left her office to get back to class and she answered her cell phone on the first ring, "Yes? ...Of course. I'm getting the information tonight and you'll have it soon."

Naruto sat on the bottom bleacher next to a teen with wavy blue hair and a red shirt under a brown jacket with cargo pants on. This was Kurt Wagner, in disguise. Apparently the professor has connections and he had given Kurt what he called a image inducer...

Naruto thought his Henge was better.

"So...vhat do you do on days like today?" Kurt asked his friend. The two of them played Tag-port until Ororo had told them dinner was ready. The feeding frenzy that followed nearly made Jean puke, and even Scott looked a little green. Of course afterwards Ororo had smacked both of them upside the head.

She was adamant about manners at the table.

"Well...I kind of have to figure out a way to keep that pissed off guy walking towards us from kicking my ass so..." Naruto trailed off as Duncan and two of his friends stopped in front of him.

"Runt-O," Duncan grumbled, getting laughs from his friends, "Figure out a plan?"

Naruto blinked before cupping his chin, "Hm...yeah. I won't like it, but I'll do it."

"Do what?" Duncan, Kurt and Duncan's two goons asked. Naruto grinned foxily at them, his eyes twinkling in mischief.

"So ya wanna be an Eagle, huh?" the coach for the Bayville Eagles asked as he looked over the teen standing in front of him. Naruto blinked and nodded.

"Yeah," he said with a fake heavy accent, "My family's honor needs to be defended in all areas. Duncan-san said I would be good at being a fullback, Coach-sama."

The Coach hummed before nodding, "All-right, I'll give you a shot. Line up on the end and take Houser's former position. Duncan! Do it!"

"You got it Coach!" the quarterback called back before pulling the teen next to him as the two halves of the team readjusted their positions. Grabbing the facemask of the smaller blonde's helmet, Duncan's black eyes bore into Naruto's blue ones.

"You blow this, and I'll-" "Blow me? Well...I don't swing that way but if you really want too..." Naruto interrupted. The team burst into laughter and Duncan growled before shoving the shorter player away. He dropped to behind the Center and called out the numbers for a certain play, purposely doing so to make the blonde look foolish.

Naruto, having spied on the football team before to get back at them when they had picked on Scott, recognized the call. A smirk on his face, he dropped back slightly to the left. Sure the sport was weird, but who was he to judge?

If he wasn't here he may be participating in a contest where killing was allowed.

Duncan stood after calling "Hike" and backed up, faking to the right before tossing the ball to Naruto. Naruto caught said object and ducked under the two linemen that leapt at him, dashing forward as he ran. The blonde saw a large linebacker running towards him and slid to a stop before spinning to the right and running past the man.

Kurt, Scott and Jean watched from the sidelines with the coach. The man was flipping through his notes, his jaw unhinged, "H-How...? Where was this kid?"

Kurt leaned over to Scott as Naruto stopped, spun around and back-flipped over a diving halfback, "Ve should have kept him out of zis, yes?"

Scott's awe died down as the blonde on the field literally ran circles around the other players before he chuckled, "No...This isn't part of his mutation. He's just really fast and nimble."

"TOUCHDOWN!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran across the line. He stopped and threw the ball down before he started to victory dance, "And the crowd goes wild! Namikaze for the win! Haa! Haa!"

The Coach grinned and crossed his arms, "That kid..."

Jean shook her head at the blonde's antics. Her attention went to the Cheerleaders that were looking up from their own practice at the commotion. Her eyes locked on one girl in particular. One with a purple strand in her blonde hair.

Naruto spun the football around on his finger as he sat in the back of Scott's car with Kurt, "Did you guys see the look on Duncan's face? What do you think they're gonna do when I quit the team after the game?"

The three looked at him with wide eyes, before Scott burst out laughing, "Oh my god...That's so evil, Naruto!"

"Isn't it, though?" the younger mutant asked with a smirk. He leaned back and set the ball in his lap, his hands locking behind his head as he leaned back and sighed, "I wonder what O-Kaasan made for dinner tonight? Think it'll be another feast?"

Jean covered her mouth and Scott nearly hit a passing car when he lost control.

Kurt and Naruto high fived before 'porting away when the two older teens glared in the mirror at them.

AN: Oh yeah, he's pulling a master prank over Duncan and the rest of the football team. If none of you know who Betsy is, I'm ashamed. You're all failures! ALL OF YOU!

Anyway, next Toad makes his move and Kitty Pride activates her powers.

Review...Do it.
