The Leaf's Maverick Hunter.
I don't own Naruto or any of the Megaman series, I forgot to put this disclaimer in the last chapter and I apologize.

Chapter 2: Training begins, the Zero that will become a Hero.
One week had passed since Naruto discovered Zero, in fact, Naruto was just waking up. The crossfusion was so harsh on his young body that he slept the whole time. Kakashi had been watching over the young boy this whole time, as had Zero. They were in Naruto's apartment, there wasn't much and he kept it well cleaned.
"Kakashi." Zero spoke up from the PET.
"Yes Zero?" Kakashi asked.
"Do you know who will be training Naruto?" He asked.
"Hmm, I believe I will train Naruto in ninjutsu, I asked an old friend of mine; Hayate Gekko, to help with kenjutsu. I've been thinking of seeing if Kurenai will help with genjutsu and if Guy will help him with taijutsu." Kakashi said.
Being that Zero had data on everyone in the Leaf Village, from scanning from below the ground and given to him by Hiruzen, Zero knew who Kakashi was talking about. Naruto groaned and stirred as he began to awaken.
"Mm, what a dream." Naruto groaned.
"It was no dream." Zero said from the PET.
"Zero-san, so all of it was true, so I'm going to be a hero?" Naruto asked excitedly.
"If you train." Kakashi said.
"YES! When to we start!" Naruto shouted.
"You may want to get Itachi Uchiha to train Naruto in stealth." Zero said.
Naruto pouted as Kakashi eye-smiled.
"I'm not that loud." Naruto said.
"Yes you are." Zero said matter-of-factly.
"So, why do I need to learn all of this if I can just crossfuse and use those epic battlechips?" Naruto asked.
"Because crossfusion is very taxing on your body. Even though you slowly get used to it, your body is still drained; I haven't a way to weaken the synchrochip so crossfusion is a last resort only. Also, you can only use five battlechips at a time, as I have stated before. You can't change your battlechips once you crossfuse and once you use a battlechip, you can't use it again." Zero explained.
"Man, sounds like there are more downsides to crossfusion than there are upsides." Naruto groaned.
"However, while in crossfusion, your strength and speed are increased by 10 fold. The form acts as armor, as most melee attacks will simply bounce off. Jutsu will be hard pressed against you, however, avoid water and lightning jutsu. Water jutsu will short you out and lightning jutsu will overload the crossfusion." Zero said.
"Is that why there are battlechips such as life aura?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. Now, you will need to practice crossfusion too. Where you crossfused with me the first time had enough of a dimensional area to activate, the world above doesn't, you will have to use your chakra to create the area and merge use with the synchrochip." Zero explained.
"Okay!" Naruto said happily.
"So, when do we start?" Naruto asked as he grabbed the PET. Kakashi took Naruto to a nearby training ground.
(4 years later)
It's been four years since Naruto and Zero first met. Four years since Naruto's training began. Now, at age 12, stood our hero. His blond hair spiked similar to the Fourth Hokage, his outfit was a white shirt with a red blazer over it, Zero's symbol in the left shoulder, the Uzumaki clan spiral on the right shoulder, a pair of black shinobi pants and red boots. On his back he had a katana and a black glove over his right hand. Zero's PET was on his right him and on his left was a container full of battlechips. At 5ft 4in, Naruto almost seemed to be the Fourth Hokage reincarnated, safe for the whisker scars on his face. Naruto was standing, facing his teachers. First was Kakashi, who now sported a regular jonin vest. The next person was Naruto's kenjutsu sensei, Hayate Gekko; he had short brown hair under a bandana version of the leaf headband, along with dark eyes and fatigue lines under his eyes. He wore a standard leaf jonin outfit with a katana on his back, similar to how Naruto had his. Hayate was also seen coughing, meaning he had a lung problem.
Kurenai was seen standing near him, poor Naruto was floored when he met her. She had long black hair and crimson red eyes. She had crimson lipstick and purple eye liner, her outfit was a red armor blouse with mesh around the chest, the sleeve on the right side was visible. Her dress seemed to be made up of bandages, bandages covered her thighs and arms and a standard leaf village forehead protector was on her head.
Itachi stood near them (no Itachi slaughter his clan, more to be explained later). Itachi was the shortest of them, had black eyes with tear troughs under his eyes. His outfit was a simple black shinobi outfit with a leaf headband and the Uchiha symbol on his back. His hair framed his face, a dull black, with a short ponytail at the end.
The last was Guy. Guy stood at the same height as Kakashi, with a bowl haircut; his hair was black in color with black eyes. He wore a green jumpsuit with a leaf jonin vest over it. His forehead protector was around his waist, like a belt, and he had orange leg warmers over his ankles. His most disturbing, physical trait, are his very big and bushy eyebrows, to which Naruto started calling him, Super Bushy Brows Sensei…well, not to his face.
Hayate walked up to Naruto, he coughed a couple of times as he stood in front of his student.
"Okay Naruto, we're going to battle you one-on-one to see how well you learned, if you don't pass, you won't be joining the academy." Hayate said.
Naruto gulped a little but nodded.
"A rule of this test is you must stay crossfused for the entire test." Hayate told him.
Naruto nodded but knew that he would have to be quick.
"Alright then, I'll show you guys…what the Leaf's Maverick Hunter can really do!" Naruto shouted and added battlechips to the PET, the battlechips were Cyber Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword, Life Aura, and Recovery.
"SYNCHROCHIP IN! AND DOWNLOAD! BEGIN CROSSFUSION NOW!" Naruto and Zero shouted.
Out of the light, Crossfusion Zero emerged. The katana on his back turned into his Z-Saber. The only difference between when Naruto first crossfused and now is that he's taller. Kakashi walked in between the two.
"Okay, Naruto, treat this as an actual ninja battle…HAJIME! FIGHT!" Kakashi shouted and jumped back as Naruto and Hayate charged at each other. The metal of Hayate's katana met the plasma of Crossfusion Zero's Z-Saber. Hayate learned early to cover his katana with chakra or the Z-Saber can go right through it. Hayate shoved Crossfusion Zero back; Crossfusion Zero used his saber to stop by stabbing it into the ground.
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Crossfusion Zero and Hayate shouted. Each one created two shadow clones.
"So Naruto, ready to try it?" Hayate asked.
"I'm ready Hayate-sensei!" Naruto shouted.
They swung their swords.
"LEAF STYLE: CRESCENT MOON DANCE!" They shouted and charged. Their speed was high enough to the point Kakashi and Itachi needed their Sharingan to see them. As the clones dispersed, Hayate and Crossfusion Zero's weapons met again. Hayate chuckled and smiled at him.
"Nice job Naruto, you've mastered the Crescent Moon Dance nicely." Hayate said, as he started coughing.
Crossfusion Zero smiled.
"Thank you Hayate-sensei." He smiled and used the Zero Knuckle to knock Hayate's sword away. The katana flew up and spun in the sky.
"RECOIL ROD!" Crossfusion Zero shouted and used the whip to grab the falling katana.
"Stop! That's enough." Kakashi ended the match; Crossfusion Zero gave the katana back to Hayate.
"Good job Naruto." Kakashi said.
The crossfused boy smiled.
"YES! NOW I SHALL FACE YOU NARUTO! FEEL THE POWER OF YOUTH!" Guy shouted.
'And I need to give Naruto lessons in stealth and being quiet?' Itachi thought.
Guy stood across from C. Zero (It's becoming a pain in the ass to type Crossfusion Zero, so now it'll be C. Zero when crossfused), taking the stance for the Strong Fist taijutsu style. Naruto sheathed his saber.
"Naruto-kun, why did you put your saber away?" Guy asked.
"I wanted to fight you on fist-to-fist sensei; I can't rely on my sword can I?" C. Zero asked.
Guy started crying anime tears.
"OH NARUTO-KUN! YOUR YOUTH SHINES BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS! IF YOU WIN I SHALL BY YOU ALL THE RAMEN YOU CAN EAT AND RUN AROUND THE VILLAGE ON MY HEAD A THOUSAND TIMES WITH MY MOUTH TAPED SHUT!" Guy shouted.
"KICK HIS ASS NARUTO!" Itachi shouted after hearing that.
Everyone, even Guy, let out a chuckle. Guy didn't know but everyone was looking forward to have some peace from Guy's shouts of youth. The two of them took their positions to battle, only to jump out of way of an incoming shockwave.
"What the fuck?" C. Zero said.
"Over there!" Itachi pointed as Mettaur viruses walked towards them.
"Mett mett mett mett mett." The viruses said.
The shinobi and C. Zero were surrounded by 50 mettaurs.
"How?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto," Zero spoke up from in the PET, "it's because we haven't been regulating them, we haven't stopped them from entering your world, who knows how many there are."
"We have to take them out!" C. Zero shouted
"Right, everyone get ready!" Kakashi shouted
As each person took a battle stance, the mettaurs raised their axes to attack.
"NOW!" Kurenai shouted as they attacked.
(Fin for now)
Time has passed and Naruto has completed his training, for now. With mettaur viruses getting ready to strike, Naruto, Zero, and the others prepare to battle, how will they fair?
Next time on Maverick Hunter of the Leaf! Virus attack! Unleash the power Naruto!
