I'm back! The Phantom Penance has returned!

Normally, I'd be doing my other fanfics, but I'm having some slight problems with them, so I'm working on this until they get sorted out.

Anyway, I have a new poll on my profile, you should check it out because I plan to do some major crossover with my other story.

Back to the Second Evolution!

Chapter 2: Emergence

"I'm bored! This is boring! You're boring me! Stop being boring!"

Xavier was very lucky that he doesn't have much work to do in his life, otherwise, he wouldn't have any privacy to do it.

When Naruto had matured to the good old age of twelve, his energy was at an all-time high, with no signs of stopping whatsoever. Moira was happy enough to tell him that it had nothing to do with his mutations or…..the experiments, but rather that he was just energetic.

Speaking of which, little boy Naruto had unknowingly became the gap between Charles and Moira. Xavier couldn't bear to tell her what exactly Naruto was, only that he was basically a guinea pig for one demented mutant, and the Scottish stuck to him like glue.

She spent many years observing young Naruto and playing with him most of the time, it came to the point where she built a facility not far from Xavier's mansion so that she could stay for two weeks before returning to her Medical Center on Muir Island.

"Hey! You're doing that thing where you pretend that I'm not here again! Stop doing that!" Naturally, Naruto's shouts had dragged the tortured man out from his personal thoughts.

"Now Naruto, you promised me that you would be quiet until I finished my work," Xavier chided. "It is a bad habit to go back on your promises."

The little boy with a bush for hair scratched that hair in embarrassment. "I wasn't lying, I just didn't know that you would have this much to do, ya know. I don't remember you being this boring, that's all."

Again with him being boring. Charles was not boring, he just had to do things that were expected from an adult, but sadly, that concept was beyond the blonde.

Pausing from his work, the paralyzed man looked down to Naruto and his pouting face. Simply put, the child looked adorable, even to the standards of a man. His blonde hair was bush and uncontrollable and after the deaths of several razors, Xavier doubted it could ever be controlled. His eyes were huge, any bigger, and they would take up most of his face.

Sadly, that was the only part of the boy that resembled human. The rest would be considered unnatural by the laws of science.

His irises were orange with a long, diagonal rectangle for a pupil. Outside of his eyes was a red-orange tint in the space between his eyes and his eyebrows and right beside his mouth was three whiskers, but they held a close resemblance with scars.

After taking in his features, Xavier sighed at the misfortune that the boy in front of him was indeed Naruto and not some android. Androids would definitely be more quiet.

"Fine then, I can finish this later. Let's head to the sub-basement." Xavier rolled his wheelchair away from his desk as he spoke.

"Yay! I'll race ya down there!" Naruto cheered as he ran to the door. Charles widened his eyes, the boy was moving so fast, meaning he was excited, and careless….

"Don't-!" His warning was too late, for both were now staring at the doorknob and some of the door that now laid in Naruto's hand.

The boy chuckled weakly as his face began to turn red. "S-Sorry about that, Old Man X."

Professor Charles sighed once more, "Never mind, I'll replace it. Be more careful for now on."

It was a matter of time before Xavier found out the hard way what Naruto's mutant abilities were. Other than the physical attributes, Naruto was mutated to be physically far more enhanced than any human alive, even the old war hero, Captain America.

He was stronger, faster, far more durable, and held stamina far beyond that of any human. Moira and Xavier never tested to find the exact limitations of his mutations simply because the boy was still that, a boy.

There was also several other things about Naruto that made him extraordinary in the standards of mutants. Naruto had a greatly enhanced sense of perception, sometimes he could see things before they happened. It gave him the edge in possible hostile situations, or even worse, getting away with stealing midnight snacks.

Naruto also processed information very easily, he could possibly learn how to drive a military vehicle if read the manual, making it a mystery to Charles why the boy hates learning anything at all.

However, the greatest part about Naruto is that he could basically absorb any and every type of energy in existence as well as sense who was human and who was a mutant, much like to Xavier's Cerebro program.

They don't know how the boy does it and they may never find the answers unless they run into The First One again and the possibility of that happening was astronomically low (heheheh). Moira was able to draw a theory about the boy's powers that the energy he absorbed could possibly boost Naruto's enhanced abilities to a higher rate, and since there was no discovered limit to his absorbing abilities, there could be no limit to Naruto's power.

Of course, it was all speculation. The adults were very wary of doing any legitimate tests on Naruto in fear that it could trigger some sort of memory of the experimentation The First One had performed much earlier in his life, the odds of that monster using any type of anesthetic on the boy was very low.

Despite that, Naruto was classed, in theory, a possible Omega Level mutant by the Mutant Power Level Classification. (AN: I never get why they called it that, Mutant Power Level. What is this, Dragonball Z?)

This information ran through Xavier's mind on the long elevator ride down to the sub-basement. 'Eleven years old, and already possibly Omega Level. Naruto, you were indeed made for a purpose.'

By luck alone, the boy may never find out what purpose was his creation. Nevertheless, Xavier swore an oath the moment the boy opened his eyes that what was intended for evil, he would turn it around for good, for the well-being of Naruto, and the well-being of suffering mutants everywhere.

"Elevator's so slow! You need to make it faster." Naruto whined once they finally reached the familiar grey corridors of the sub-basement.

Charles smiled at the blonde boy, "Perhaps I was working on that upstairs before you interrupted me."

"Nah, you were working on banking and stuff, I read the notes while you weren't looking." Naruto replied with a smirk, the boy always felt pride when he accomplished things silently.

"Ah, but what if I was checking if I had enough money to make improvements?" The bald man replied, Naruto scoffed at that.

"Yeah right. We're living in a big house, like you have money issues or somethin'."

"You shouldn't make assumptions if you are watching someone," Xavier taught, "you should always make sure, otherwise, why bother being there?"

Naruto stared straight at the telepath, "What are you, some type of spy?"

Xavier stare back at the boy and gave a simple smirk, "Perhaps."

With that, the man bound to the wheel chair rolled into the booth, leaving the blonde with his mouth agape.

(AN: I don't remember Prof. X being a spy, however, he was in World War 2, so he does know some stuff)

Charles calls it the Training and Exam Room, Naruto prefers to call it the Danger Room. Xavier has tried to tell the boy that the word "danger" is misleading from the training room's real purpose, but the boy doesn't care.

As always, Xavier starts off with something easy: a simple automaton that has slow movement and could barely hit a tree, and as always, that leaves Naruto a bit disappointed and the poor android is laid ruined in a corner.

"C'mon, gimme something harder! I can take it!" Naruto yelled in encouragement.

"Or your ligaments will tear and you will have horrible muscle generation for the rest of your life, I personally prefer playing things safe if you don't mind." Xavier's voice came through the microphones.

Naruto stuck his tongue out at the direction of the Danger Room booth, "Every party needs a pooper!"

"If you insist. Now, let's see how you fair against a wall?" Slowly, a large wall made of pure bricks rose from the ground to challenge Naruto, in his bored state.

The boy then grinned wickedly while he placed a fist into his opposite hand. "This is a piece of cake! One demolished wall coming right up!"

He placed his hands together and closed his eyes tight, showing that he was concentrating on something. He opened his hands to reveal an orb, a blue orb that was seemingly made out of blue wind, and it was moving very violently.

"HIIYAH!" The blonde boy yelled as he forced orb onto the wall. The effect was instantaneous, by that, the wall never stood a chance. Somehow the orb tore right through the brick wall with the force of a miniature hurricane.

Naruto stood proudly over the deceased wall, doomed to be a wall no longer.

"C'mon! If you keep giving me nothing but giant robots and walls to hit, I'm gonna wipe out their entire race at the end of this!" He complained as he sat down amongst the rubble.

Xavier smiled at the progress he was showing. It took him far less time to summon the power for his wind attack, and the orb alone was already strong enough to take down bricks.

'Perhaps when he's older, he could be strong enough to shred titanium.' The Professor briefly thought.

"Yes Naruto...perhaps it is time-"

Whatever the Professor was going to say, it was never said as a red light flashed on the main computer. It was nothing too serious, all it told him was that Xavier Mansion was having a guest, but Xavier doesn't get that many guests. So there was the question: Who was the visitor?

Human…..or mutant?

The man's name was Fred Duncan, he was an FBI agent following a very peculiar case up in Nebraska. Recently, there was a string of robberies happening in the town of Omaha with the robber having a tendency to make a man-sized hole in the wall for an escape route.

Criminal's name was Jack Winters, and some well-placed cameras had showed Duncan how Winters escaped captivity: his hands were made out of a hard substance, most likely diamonds.

Very few people in the police force know what's going on because of a department in the government has been keeping things under wraps. All Duncan knows is that every potential domestic threat to the country is being monitored by them, and the agent was wise enough to know that is information should end there.

Things could have been handled smoothly by the FBI when all the sudden, Winters changed course in his robbing spree. He went from small time jewelry stores to raiding scientific labs, and he wasn't doing it alone.

He had somebody with him, somebody small because he was always just out camera's sight, but this small person could unleash red beams of destructive power, and he helped Jack Winters steal precious isotopes.

Duncan's hands were tied, there was no one he could depend on that could somehow help him with his predicament, so he went to the well-known Professor who talked about evolution: Professor X.

Xavier briefly used Cerebro to confirm that Winters was no mutant, but his friend was. Dwelling deeper, Charles also found out that his friend was indeed a boy by the name of Scott Summers. He was a runaway from an orphanage and separated from his other brother who was quickly adopted by another family.

Charles knew that Summers was exactly the type of mutant he wanted to help in his budding Institute, so he "asked" Duncan to take him along to Nebraska with hopes that he could reach the Summers boy first before the police or his orphanage, if they even care.

However, after calling Moira to watch over Naruto in his absence, followed by someone sneaking into his luggage, Charles had no choice but to bring Naruto along.

"-as long as you stay right next to me-"

"What's this do?" In a flash, the boy was already messing with one of the radios the FBI were using, Xavier could only sigh. It didn't matter much, as long as Naruto was in sight range and well within telepathy range, he should be alright.

"Hey Prof, come take a look at this," Agent Duncan called out. The man bound to the wheelchair took a pair of binoculars and scanned an abandoned lab facility.

"Our boy's holed up in there. However, this is a highly respected lab, no telling what built-in defenses it could have." Duncan said.

"Then you should tell your men to exercise caution," Xavier replied, "especially around the boy, he could be-"

"Sir!" Both men (and child) turned around to see a SWAT officer behind them, and in his hands, a phone.

"Phone for you. It's urgent." The FBI agent, albeit a little confused, took the phone and headed off to the side.

"Hello, who's...yes, I'm the man in charge. Pull-sir, do you have any…yes, I know who you answer to. Right away." Duncan hung up and returned to Xavier, he looked especially madder than normal.

"New orders, we're pulling out." The FBI agent barked,

"What?" Xavier gasped, "Mr. Duncan, we simply cannot stop here, a boy's life could be a stake!"

"I know Prof, but it's not my call." Duncan replied apologetically, "Some department from the higher up apparently has some dealings with this facility, so they want to handle Winters themselves. I can't believe they called the friggin' President to get permission."

Now, it would be so easy for Professor Xavier to tell the men to proceed as planned, but they would in turn lose their jobs, or worse, sent to jail for insubordination.

All Xavier could hope for was that whoever was in charge would have the decency to leave Summers out of this mess-

"Hey, where'd your kid go?"

After Naruto had heard that the FBI was running away, he decided it was time to take matters in his own hands. This kid was going to be his first new friend that was his age, and no cowards was gonna stand in his way from making friends!

Easy way would be to take the halls, but Naruto was a super spy, and like any other super spy, he took the vents.

'Naruto, turn back around this instant' a voice penetrated his mind, and it wasn't his own.

'Sheesh, 'bout time you showed up. It was getting boring being alone,' Came the reply of the blonde.

'I am serious. This man has mental abilities as well as I. I won't be able to stop him should he attack you.' Xavier replied in the most serious tone he could muster.

'Heh, I'm not scared. I can beat him down, no problem!' The boy mentally boasted.

'You destroyed a brick wall, Naruto. Brick and diamond are two different substances altogether.' The bald Professor replied.

'Yeah, sure. Just wait, you'll be amazed by my awesomeness! Later!'

'Naru-'

And just like that, the Professor's voice was gone. It was never explained, but if Naruto really wanted to, he could kick the Professor out of his mind, but first, he'd have to be aware that Xavier was in his mind in the first place.

Anyway, the boy reached the end of vent, so he kicked a hole in the bottom, and landed right in front of an elevator.

He pressed the down bottom a few times, but nothing had happened.

"Power must be out or something," He mumbled before grinning, "Guess I'm gonna have to do it the hard way!"

His hand was like a hot knife, and the elevator doors, smooth butter. With barely any effort at all, he wrenched the two doors wide open to reveal the long and dark elevator shaft.

"Long way down," The boy muttered before looking to his left, "Alright, some ladders! If I fell, I probably would've gone 'squish!'"

Even though he was safe enough on a ladder, the ladders could not protect him from a fear of heights and an over-imaginative brain. Little by little, step by step, the bushy haired boy descended the ladder until his feet landed safely on the top of the elevator.

His hand smashed through the top of the elevator, allowing him to fall through and force it open. Naruto walked down the abandoned hallways, briefly noting the destruction of several rooms containing all sorts of science stuff.

"-you mess it up, I'm gonna fix your face. Permanently!"

Naruto snapped at attention when he heard the gruff voice of a full grown man at the end of the hall. He ran down that hall and crept right at the wall, then peeked at the edge of the wall to see the bad man Professor X was talking about.

He was bulky and had short, brown hair, but his face looked like it was permanently seared as a scowl, but the weirdest thing about him was that he was strapped to a chair with a giant gun pointed at his face.

The blonde boy scanned the room a little more to find the boy. He was a mess, wore rags and he had bruises and injuries just about everywhere, also he wore a pair of glasses that had a deep red color. The kid was the one managing the gun that pointed at the bad man.

"Well, whadd'ya waitin' for!? Turn it on now!?" The man barked. The boy cowered for a split-second before turning on the machine.

Naruto recognized the hum of the machine, indicating that it was powering up and about to fire, then it did fire. Green beams of light struck the man straight in the chest. He yelled in pain as the light became unbearable to witness by the human eye, so he turned away till the light dimmed.

The man slumped back into his chair, then he flexed his arms, finding new strength in them.

"Power…." the man gasped before starting to laugh maniacally.

"Raw Power!" He ripped through his restraints as his entire body became pure white, like a diamond.

"I'M INVINCIBLE! UNSTOPPABLE!" The man raved as he buried his hand within a wall.

"M-Mr. Winters," the boy began feebly, "Y-you promised that if I'd help you, you'd let me go."

The man stared down at the boy behind the glasses.

"Yeah….I said somethin' like that, didn't I?"

The boy cried out as the metal man lifted him up by his shirt. Naruto growled at the notion that the metal man was enjoying the boy's despair.

"Well, Summers, that was before you helped me. Now that I'm unstoppable, you're gonna learn to take orders from me, just like the rest of the world. They're all gonna learn to listen to the Living Diamond!"

He tossed the boy to the ground and continued his laughter, the boy stared at him in fear, but soon, they were gonna find out that Jack Winters wasn't laughing alone.

"I get it! The Living Diamond!? That sounds like the stupidest thing I ever heard!"

"Who's out there!? Show your face you punk!" The Living Diamond commanded.

"I'm down here, idiot."

The man looked down to see a little kid. He stared for the briefest of moments, then he laughed.

"A kid!? What do you want, you little runt? A candy bar?" Winters laughed, though secretly, the kid's unnatural eyes was kind of creeping him out.

"My name is Naruto! Remember it, cuz it's the name of the kid who's gonna beat your face into the pavement!" Naruto boldly declared, making Winters laugh even more.

"Runt, lemme tell ya, you got a promising career as a comedian! Or at least, you will if you go back the way ya came and never come back."

Winters made a move to shove the boy around, but the boy grasped his diamond hand and squeezed, hard. Before the Living Diamond could protest, Naruto lifted the man over his shoulders and threw him through a few walls, and possibly the elevator.

The Summers boy could only gasp at the apparent strength the blond possessed. Suddenly, the blonde haired boy turned and faced him.

"Hey! My name's Naruto! What's yours?"

"-So you see, Scott, my Institute is made to help people like ourselves, mutants." Professor Xavier concluded after Winters was apprehended and Scott was treated for his injuries.

The Department that owned the science facility had sent two particular agents to deal with the problem. Naruto laughed at their surprise that a mere child handled their problem, though Naruto was excited to find out that the agents were also super-spies "like himself."

They were rightfully suspicious that an eleven-year-old took down a meta-human by himself, so Xavier could expect that this….SHIELD would be watching over him from now on.

Despite that, if Naruto's story about the Living Diamond showing pain when he grabbed his arm, Charles was astonished that the boy's strength already had some affects against diamonds.

Off-topic, Summers was naturally reluctant to join Xavier, he feared that he may be placed in another orphanage and he still wanted his brother. As painful as it was, Xavier had to stress to the boy that his brother Alex could be living with a family that loves him and that it would be selfish to rip them apart.

"Can we at least try to find him?" The boy pleaded.

"I don't see why we shouldn't." Xavier smiled before he felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out his cellphone.

"Charles Xavier here."

"Are ya finished with your business in Nebraska, by any chance?" Xavier instantly recognized Moira's voice.

"Yes, we are done here."

"Good, because your friends called from New York. She's done it again, it seems."

Xavier narrowed his eyes in concern. There was only one person that lived in New York City, outside of Moira, who knew what Charles Xavier really was. If Moira was talking about the same person he was thinking, then it was finally time.

It seems he, Naruto, and Scott would be taking a slight detour from the Institute.

"Professor, what are we doing here?"

"Yeah, what are we doing here, old man?"

Charles didn't tell Scott and Naruto the purpose for driving to an average neighborhood because he wanted to keep it a surprise for the boys, but Naruto was quite insistent on finding out the whole plane ride back to New York.

"You see, I had found another mutant a few years back and under the request of her parents, I had given her private lessons to control her power." The man replied at the doorstep of a yellow house.

Naruto gasped, "Well, why didn't you tell me? Or at least bring her to the mansion?"

"Her parents felt that was too drastic of actions, but that may have to happen at this point." He replied.

"Why? What happened?" Scott asked with concern.

"Nothing serious." Charles reassured as he rang the doorbell. Naruto glanced at the mailbox in front of the house. On it, in red paint, spelled the word "Greys."

"That's a cool last name," Scott said. Naruto lowered his head at the mailbox.

"Wish I had a last name," he muttered, confusing the boy wearing shades, but that topic wasn't discussed upon for the front door was opened.

"Good morning, John, or is it afternoon now?" The Professor greeted. Naruto looked at John Grey, he had brown hair that was just getting grey hairs in it, and his face looked like he had a nightmare, or was living in a nightmare.

"Oh thank goodness, you're here. She's been in her room all day." He spoke quickly and invited the bald man in, though he paused when he saw the other two children.

"That is Naruto, the boy I told you about, and this is Scott, he's quite new to my Institute." Xavier supplied.

John Grey smiled briefly at the two boys, "Scott and Naruto eh? My daughter loves to make new friends, I'm sure she'll like you."

"Well, I like her already! Let's see her!" Naruto exclaimed with his old enthusiasm returning. Xavier smirked at the declaration of the blonde boy, he knew Naruto didn't know that his reply could have been taken wrongly.

"Sure, if she'll just leave her room….." John muttered as the four of them all migrated to the living room where a woman with short brown hair awaited them.

"Hello, Elaine. You look as stunning as ever." Xavier shook the Mrs. Grey's hand, but she looked just like her husband: scared beyond belief.

"It's good that you came Professor. After….the incident, she wouldn't leave her room for anything. Food, friends, school, and you know how much she loves school…"

"Why don't you tell her I'm down here, and we'll sort everything out." Xavier assured, breaking through the woman's rambling.

"Y-yeah, yeah! That'll work…" Both of the Grey's nodded and left together up a flight of stairs.

"Geez, what's got them acting like jello?" Naruto snorted.

"Jello?" Scott questioned.

"Ya know, all fidgety and stuff." Naruto explained, earning an 'oh' from Summers.

"Forgive me, but John and Elaine's daughter is a rare type of mutant. She can read minds like me and move objects with her mind." Professor Xavier explained.

"Now a mutant like that is very rare, very powerful. Powerful enough that she could read the thoughts of everyone around her with ease, and I personally know how nerve-wracking that can be."

'Also, there is the matter of how she awakened her abilities, amongst other things.' He privately thought, for those were a subject that the young Miss Grey should herself.

Speaking of which, the three men all sat up when they heard the Greys go down the stairs.

"Well, Naruto and Scott, meet our daughter, Jean."

Naruto had not seen a girl his entire life, and Moira MacTaggart was technically a woman, so she didn't count. However, he'd still safely say that Jean Grey was without a doubt one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, and judging by Scott's similar reaction, he wasn't wrong.

Perfection laid in the simple things, and Jean was the epitome of simple. She had long, simple red hair, simple eyes, a simple, and unblemished, face.

The day will come when puberty sets in, and her womanly attributes will start to take form, but as of now, she was simple and that was beautiful. Natural beauty.

Other good news: Naruto's a poet deep down.

"You're perfect."

Annnnddd, he totally made the moment incredibly awkward. Nice going.

"My, t-that's quite forward of you, young man," Elaine Grey stammered in embarrassment for her daughter who was also beet red.

"Yes, I'm afraid Naruto here is well known for that," Xavier chuckled, "but that is his strong suit in many instances."

Naruto laughed while scratching the back of his head, "Y-Yeah, silly me…..but I'm not taking it back!"

"And it would be quite rude if you did." John Grey added while smiling at the boy, relieving Naruto of his tension.

"Why don't the kids play outside while we talked?" Elaine suggested, Naruto bobbed his head quickly at the thought.

"Yeah! I can tell her my awesome story of saving Scott's butt!" Before anyone could refuse, the blonde dragged the brunet and the red-head outside into the backyard.

"You said he was hyperactive, but I didn't believe he would be this hyperactive," John Grey chuckled, but then he sighed in depression.

"Then again, I didn't believe a lot of things you told me."

"It was so bad this time. The whole house shook," Elaine explained. Once they all sat down, she proceeded to tell Professor Xavier how Jean nearly destroyed the house while she was having a nightmare.

"It was about Annie again, wasn't it?" Xavier asked gently, poor Annie was as much a scar to the parents as it was to their daughter.

"It was careless of me, I didn't watch her. How could I, her own father, let my daughter cradle her dying best friend?" John grieved lowly.

"That was not your fault, John. Your daughter does not blame you for that accident," Charles comforted, but the man only stared at the ground.

"But I get the feeling that she doesn't forgive me either." He only muttered.

"Is she going to be alright?" Mrs. Grey asked with concern.

The Professor narrowed his eyes in great thought. "I'm not certain any more. This….power inside of her, I am positive that it is trying to break free from her hold by haunting her in her dreams. I feel that with her minimal level of training, it will be free soon enough."

Of course, the couple caught on quickly what the paralyzed mutant was suggesting.

"You want to send her to your Institute, don't you?"

"It may be the best option for her. If she goes there, I can know how she is doing and have more than enough time to train her how to use her abilities." He urged.

"But of course, it is, above all, her choice if she wants to go or not. I can always just have longer and more frequent lessons from here."

Wife looked hesitantly at the husband who returned the look, then sighed.

"Jean….wants to go to the Institute." He admitted. "She told us one night. Told us that she didn't trust herself anymore, that she needed more."

He looked up and out the back window, and started to smile again, "I think…she might like it there. Your kid sure can make her laugh."

Xavier looked outside to see Naruto, grinning brightly at his triumph of making both Scott and Jean laugh, or at least, he assumed they were laughing since all he could see was the two shaking.

Then, he finally caught what John was saying.

"What? Oh no! Naruto isn't my son." Charles rejected quickly, confusing the Greys.

"Really? But you spoke of him so fondly, and he clings to you like a son would do to his father."

"I do entertain the thought, but Naruto isn't my child. That is behind me." Xavier reassured although his own answer was bringing a frown on his face.

There was very much doubt on the faces of Jean's parents, but it was far from their concern now. What was their concern was the well-being of their daughter.

John Grey shrugged at his wife as he spoke. "Well, if there isn't any problems, I guess we'll get Jean packed, then tell her the news. I assume we can visit."

"Anytime you feel like," Xavier assured. His dream of an Institute for mutants was slowly becoming a reality.

"It's so huge!" Both Jean and Scott exclaimed at the front entrance of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Children. Naruto only laughed at them.

"Just wait till you see your rooms! We can all have rooms right next to each other, or we could just sleep together, whatever you guys want!"

It was very clear that the blonde was having the time of his life. He expected only one new friend, but to his surprise, he got two! Now he could play some group games and stop having to depend on X doing his boring work.

Charles was smiling at the enthusiasm of his new students. He could tell that they were going to be the trailblazers of a new path for the world, a path that will be traveled by mutants and humans, coexisting to find peace.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated once more. He checked the caller to find it was, once again, Moira.

"Yes Moira, how can I help you?"

"More like how can ah help you, Charles." She joked, most unusual for her.

"Anyway, ah found two mutants for ya. One you already know, the other, very two. Ah'll send you their location."

"Thank you, Moira." Charles replied before she hung up. His phone received the coordinates, Xavier frowned at the distance of one from another, but oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Next stop: Canada, followed by Africa.

Chapter Two Completed!

Now that was a lot of words and a lot of work! Got a couple of things I need to work out first. Naruto's skirmish with the Living Diamond was short for a reason, and not because I got impatient, but he was literally a minor villain in the X-men. Like really minor.

Anyway, for all you wanting to know the pairing, it isn't straight NarutoxJean. That's not how it works in the Marvel Universe. There won't be a straight paring because this is X-Men, and stuff goes DOWN in X-Men.

People DIE in X-Men…..actually, people DIE in Marvel in general.

Anyway, when the going gets tough, Naruto's gonna roll with the punches, and the kisses.

Other matters, his powers. Basically he's stuck on Sage Mode for the rest of his life, and to sweeten the deal, he can possibly absorb as much energy as he wants and that energy strengthens his body, making him nearly unstoppable.

I'm saying nearly because his battle with Apocalypse is gonna be edgy, I'm debating if he should lose any limbs or eyes.

MOST IMPORTANT PART: SEND ME QUESTIONS, COMPLAINTS, ANYTHING, AND I WILL ANSWER THEM IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. I'M TRYING TO BE COOL LIKE THAT.

AND NOW, FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THEM ALL:

MAY THE FLAMES OF YOUTH BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS
