Viel glueck- good luck

The next morning Logan knocked on Naruto's door. "Naruto," he called.

Receiving no reply he knocked again. After a few minutes he opened the door and walked in. Naruto was still in his orange attire from the day before and sprawled over his bed snoring loudly. Logan smirked at the sight. He strode over and shook the sleeping figure.

"Naruto, Time to wake up," Logan said, shaking him again.

Naruto rolled onto his side, he mumbled, "just one more minute, Sakura."

"Who are you calling Sakura?" Logan snarled, "Its Logan, Brighty!"

Startled awake by the snarling, Naruto rolled off the opposite side of the bed. "Whoa! Ouuuch."

"Awake now?" Logan stood there with an amused grin plastered on his face.

"Yeah, but did you have to be so rough?"

"All I did was shake you. You're the one who rolled off the bed," Logan stated. "Now come on sleepy head. Let's go. Training starts early around here."

Logan walked out of the room.

Naruto followed grumbling about early morning trainings and how Kakashi was always late so the early morning trainings always turned into a normal morning training.

Logan chuckled at the boy's grumpiness. Logan brought Naruto into a room below ground level that was full of various controls and surrounded by windows.

Naruto rushed past Logan up to the Professor's side who was at a control panel and observing Logan's students while they completed a set training course. Logan peered out the windows to watch them as they trained.

"How've they been doing?" Logan asked Charles.

"Well so far they are working as a team and haven't gotten into any arguments, so I would say they aren't doing too bad at all. Naruto we'll introduce you to everyone else who isn't here for training at lunch today. Logan, when the students are done you can take Naruto in and start."

Naruto didn't listen to a word that the Professor said, as he was entranced by the group of mutants in the room. Their teamwork was amazing. He watched as one of the teenagers he was introduced to the other night…he remembered the boy's name as Kurt…disappeared, only to reappear 20 ft away. Someone else was flying above the group…Jean? Another person was shooting red rays of destructive light from his eyes, but Naruto couldn't see his face to be able to tell if he met him the other night or not. Then there was Kitty who he remembered from the other last person in the room was covered in ice and was somehow shooting ice from his hands.

This is unbelievable! I wonder what Ninjutsu their using,Naruto thought.

He turned to the Professor and Logan with his question."What Ninjutsu are those guys using?"

"Ninjutsu?" Logan questioned, "Don't know what you're talking about unless it's those strange hand signs you made to summon that giant toad yesterday. This is all raw, natural power, created by a gene in our bodies."

"Gene?"

"Yeah part of your DNA," Logan briefly explained.

"So what's your power?"

"Mine?" Logan unsheathed his claws to show the ninja.

Naruto's eyes went wide in shock. "That is so cool!"

"Naah, you should see some of the other strange powers in this place. They're all unique in their own way," Logan replied.

"Cool!"

Logan's eyes drifted to a timer on the control board. He watched as the timer made its way to 0 and then the Professor shut off the danger room.

"Come on, Brighty. It's our turn now."

Walking to the room's entrance they passed by a brunette teenage girl with a white strip of hair and a sour look on her face.

"Training at five am tomorrow, Rogue," Logan informed her.

Rogue scowled, "Splendid."

Entering the Danger Room they found the boy who was covered in ice earlier chasing Kitty and Kurt around the room.

"You can't catch us!" Kitty called to one of the group members.

Kitty ran through the wall while Kurt disappeared from view while Logan was rolling his eyes at the two troublemakers.

The others all laughed before turning to see who had entered the room. Scott and Jean waved at Naruto.

"Hey Naruto. Have fun training with Logan," Jean said with a smile.

Bobby walked over to Naruto.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Bobby." He held out his hand which Naruto took with a smile.

"I'm Naruto."

"All right everyone meet in here 5:00 a.m. sharp tomorrow morning," Logan announced to a chorus of groans from the three mutants. "and be sure to tell Kitty and Kurt."

The group filed out of the danger room leaving it empty except for Naruto and Logan.

"Well show me what you got Brighty and don't hold back," Logan challenged.

Naruto performed the multi shadow clone jutsu summoning fifty clones and they all attacked the mutant as one unit.

Interesting. Charles he can create real doppelgangers of himself, Logan said to the Professor.

He spotted two Naruto's standing way from the other clones that were attacking. Some ball of energy was forming between the two of them. One of the two Naruto's vanished.

The second Naruto shouted something as he joined the fray of bodies.

He struck Logan, pulling it back ever so slightly so as not to be fatal but would still pack a punch. Logan grunted as he was sent flying backwards.

Logan pushed himself up with grimace

"You've got some interesting tricks up your sleeve. What did you call that stuff again?"

"Ninjutsu," Naruto answered with a bright smile

"Your close combat could use some improvement though. Even though you certainly have the numbers your skill would prevent you from using a lot of the energy that I'm sure goes into creating those clones of yours," Logan commented.

"My strongest area has always been my Ninjutsu and I was never that great with Taijutsu. That's Bushy Brows area of expertise."

"Who?"

"My friend Rock Lee."

"Okay. Well then we'll work with you on that," Logan said. "Do you have any weapons on you that you use?"

"Yep. Kunai knives and throwing stars," Naruto answered looking in his leg pouch.

"Use those too, when you're attacking me and don't hold back either unless you're going to rip my heart out."

"But I don't exactly want to injure you."

Logan unsheathed his claws and, before Naruto realized what he was doing, cut a long slash down his arm. Naruto watched as the cut healed over in a matter of minutes.

"Trust me kid, I'm practically indestructible as far as we can tell. Now again, but use a variety of your jutsus, weapons, and taijutsu."

Naruto nodded before pulling out a kunai and rushing Logan. Logan parried the blow with his blades and punched Naruto in the side.

Naruto leaped back pulling out more throwing stars and throwing them at Logan who parried them with his blades.

Another wave of stars came behind the ones he had just parried and struck him in the chest.

Logan pulled the stars out of his body and threw them back at the ninja. Naruto already expecting this blocked them with a kunai knife and ran around the room until he was directly behind Logan. Logan leaped out of the way as Naruto struck with a punch where his head had been.

Provoking him Logan called out a challenge, "Is that all you got?"

Naruto answered by pulling out another kunai knife and turning towards Logan he threw the knife catching him by surprise. The knife hitLogan's right shoulder.

Logan pulled the knife from his shoulder. Switching his grip on the kunai he rushed Naruto.

Naruto who had more tricks up his sleeve ran up the wall while carefully controlling his chakra to allow him to be able to stand on the wall when he stopped.

Logan growled, "Great another imp who can run on walls."

Naruto laughed at his comment before charging back down the wall. Gathering speed to attack Logan he stumbled coming down the wall.

Naruto placed a hand over the seal on his stomach and looked up at the mutant with a worried expression as he dropped to the ground.

Logan noted that Naruto's eyes had turned red and his whiskers more pronounced Logan watched with a concerned look as red bubbles began to spill out of the pores of Naruto's skin, layering over to create a figure of a fox.

Chuck!?Logan called out in his mind.

I see it Logan. I'm already going inside.

Naruto stood before the Kyuubi's sealed gate once again and the red chakra was flooding out, bubbling up around him.

What are you doing?! Naruto shouted angrily.

What do you think? I'm taking advantage of the seals weakness since passing into this land.

Charles appeared in the room beside Naruto. Naruto, what's going on?

The Kyuubi has some plan to take over my physical body because apparently the seal on the gate is weaker here. .

The bubbling mass of red liquid was up to Naruto's chest now and working its way even farther.

Do you know how to stop it? Charles asked.

Yamato was always the one who stopped the Kyuubi's chakra with his wood style jutsu, but he's not here right now. Just watch out for my fourth tail. I won't be able to control myself if he manages to push through that far. It will be the Kyuubi in control.

Try and hold off the Kyuubi for as long as possible. I'll be right back...

Charles returned to his own mind and looked down to see Logan in a fighting stance watching a second red tail grow with a third tail forming a stub at the same time.

Logan.

Yeah, Chuck?

When the fourth tail appears Naruto won't be able to stop the Kyuubi from attacking you or anyone else. Gotcha. I'll be defending myself then and keeping him in the Daner Room if at all possible. Also we might want to get Hank in here. From the looks of things that red bubbling liquid is disintegrating Naruto's skin.

All right. Spreading his awareness through the mansion Charles called, I need all the X-Men in the danger room immediately.

Kurt, Kitty, and Bobby were the first ones to arrive in the control room phasing through the walls like they were in water. Jean, Scott, Storm, and Rogue arrived simultaneously.

"What's wrong Professor?" Jean asked.

"No time to explain. Jean, I need your help to subdue the energy in Naruto. The rest of you help Logan keep Naruto contained. Right now he is still in control but when you see the fourth tail he won't recognize anyone as a friend."

Kurt teleported Bobby and Rogue into the danger room while Kitty took Storm and Scott.

Logan warned them, "Careful not to touch him. That energy swirling around will strip away your skin and I can promise you that isn't a pleasant experience."

"Zen how are ve supposed to hold him down?" Kurt asked.

"Bobby cover him in ice."

Bobby covered Naruto in a cube of all started to get a little worried when the ice began to melt from the inside out.

"Uh, that does not look good," Kitty stated.

Bobby grimaced. "Is that energy really hot enough to melt ice?!"

Logan had his eyes on the tails and was currently ignoring the others.

The three present tails were flicking back and forth in agitation. He looked for the fourth and spotted a small stub that was gradually getting larger.

"Brace yourselves," he warned.

The fourth tail was growing slowly. It halted halfway; Logan glanced up to the control room to find Jean and Charles deep in concentration.

Naruto. Are you alright? Charles asked.

Jean stood beside him looking around curiously at the sewer like room. When her gaze came onto the blonde haired boyshe gasped at the sight of him covered to his chest with red bubbling chakra.

Naruto turned his head and growled, I'm holding him back as much as I can, but…I'm…losing control.

Give up Naruto, the fox suggested in a malicious tone of glee.

Jean startled at a new voice.

Jean help me get Naruto out of this mass of energy. Use your powers to push it back. Once you have pushed it away I will place a temporary barrier to control the energy flow. are you ready Naruto?

Just do it. The… fourth tail…is already….growing

Jean began pushing the energy back from Naruto and inch by inch it lost its control while Charles formed a barrier where the edge of the energy was and both pushed the energy back.

Logan saw the fourth tail receding back into the cloak of energy with the third quickly following.

"Bobby, you can stop with the ice," Logan ordered, "Kitty, get him out of there as soon as the red energy is completely gone. Kurt get Hank up here."

The three did as instructed. Kurt teleported back into the control room and ran out the door to fetch Hank.

Meanwhile the second tail was slowly disappearing, then the first and finally the red cloak of energy left and receded back into Naruto's skin. As the red bubbling liquid disappeared Naruto slumped to the ground. Kitty ran through the ice and pulled him out.

When she lay him down they could all see the damage that the red liquid had done to his body. Naruto's skin was stripped clean off of him leaving only muscles in their place.

"Ouch that looks really bad," she commented.

The Danger Room door opened to admit Hank and Kurt back inside. Hank rushed over to Naruto's side. He got on his knees and opened Naruto's shirt to find every part of his body was raw muscle. A sliver of skin began forming on his stomach where the seal resided.

"Is he?" Logan questioned.

"Yeah his skin is already…healing. Not as fast as yours Logan but pretty close," Hank confirmed. "I wonder why."
