Chapter 3: Birth of the Trickster
(1 year later.)
Naruto sat up in his bed and stretched.
"So the chainsaw finally wakes up." Bobby said smiling at Naruto.
"No kidding bro, I'm glad we got those earplugs." Alex said ducking under the pillow Naruto threw at him. Bobby however got a face full of pillow.
"You guys should start being nice to me, I'm meeting with that fur ball in my gut today and I'm sure I'll be able to awaken the rest of my powers."
"But until then," Bobby said, shooting an ice blast at Naruto that sent the blond running for the shower.
"Jerks," Naruto muttered with a smile on his face.
"Those two giving you a hard time Sugah?" asked Rogue, walking forward and kissing Naruto on the cheek. After they hit it off in a rather comical way, Rouge and Naruto had grown closer and closer. Rogue had become quite affectionate to the boy and most of the guys around school, Bobby in particular, had been jealous of the new kid, but after Rouge, and a few of what the students called "Logan's Girls," had set the story strait, they backed off but just played pranks on Naruto, which the boy was more than happy to pay back on his own with interest. The Girls were a group of younger mutants that Logan had taken an almost fatherly position over.
"Eh, it's nothing I can't deal with Marie." Naruto said hugging the girl. "Especially after I get that Fox to unlock my powers."
"Just be careful Naruto." Rogue warned. "After I finally find someone I can touch, I don't want to risk losing you."
"Don't worry about me Rogue." Naruto said stroking her white streak of hair and twirling it around his finger like she liked. "I'll have the Professor, Jean, Momma Psylocke, and that Emma Frost lady watching my back." Rogue just held his hand and snuggled into it.
"I just don't want to lose you Foxy." Rogue said.
"You won't Rogue, I promise." Naruto said. "And you know me; I never go back on my word."
"You'd better not Sugah." Rogue said with a smile.
"Well, as much as I'm sure you'd love to see it." Naruto said reaching the bathroom with a wicked smile. "I need to get a shower." He shut the door gently on Rogue's blushing face.
After his shower, Naruto proceeded to get some breakfast. The kitchen was empty for the most part since most of the students in his class had left. The only students left were Rahne and Logan's Girls: X-23, Rogue, Kitty, and Jubilee.
"Good morning ladies." Naruto said pleasantly.
"Hey Squirt, you nervous?" asked Jubilee.
"Nervous about meeting the giant demonic fox who was sealed inside me at birth and made those morons in my village want to destroy me?" said Naruto munching on some cereal. "Nope, not really," All of the girls giggled at the young man's nonchalant attitude at everything.
"Well Naruto," said Kitty walking up next to the blond along with Laura, Rahne, and Rogue walked up next to the blond, "the other girls and I were thinking about giving you a little good luck." Laura and Rogue both leaned down and kissed Naruto on the cheeks. Before he could recover however, Rahne and Kitty swooped down and did the same. After, the four girls stood up giggling slightly.
"Are you going to kiss me too?" Naruto asked Jubilee.
"No, I just see you as more of a little brother, not to mention my partner in crime." She said with a cocky smirk.
"Damn," stated Naruto with a snap of fingers and a foxy smirk, "and here I thought my foxy charms made me irresistible."
"Four out of five is more than most boys can claim Romeo." said Rahne with a smirk before she got serious, "Don't die or go crazy on us; at least not before you make the big choice."
"Count on it." said Naruto. "I promised Rogue and now I'm promising you guys I'll be ok and you know I never go back on my word."

Naruto stood outside the Professor's office and took a deep breath before he raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in Naruto." The Professor said.
Naruto cursed under his breath. A full year at the institute and the Professor could still do that. He'd worked so hard to develop those mental blocks so he couldn't be detected by telepaths for his pranks, but the old man could still sense him.
Sighing, Naruto walked in and found the Professor, Jean, Psylocke, and a woman around Jean's age with blond hair wearing a white outfit. "Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be Professor." said Naruto, taking a seat.
"I would think after the good luck the girls gave you you'd be just about ready for anything." Said Xavier with a small chuckle making Naruto went beat red especially after the teasing look Psylocke was giving him. His adoptive mother had always been one to tease him mercilessly, especially when it comes to his love life.
Naruto was still happy about the fact that a little over half a year after he'd arrived Kyomi and Logan had gotten married. The couple's first official act was to adopt the blonde, and Naruto had never felt happier. Psylocke was the most caring person Naruto had the fortune of meeting, and she loved him like her own flesh and blood. As for Wolverine, there was always something about him and Logan that always seemed to work well together. Maybe it was their shared healing factor, or the fact that both had lived through hells most people would die in, or maybe it was just the primal instincts that sometimes seemed to get the better of both of them, but the two had always been close. Granted he could still get on his new adopted dad's nerves with the pranks, but the grizzled old soldier couldn't stay angry at the energetic blonde without chuckling. Hell, the man always got a chuckle from the blonde's more creative pranks, as long as they weren't aimed at him, his bike, or his booze.
"Can we just talk to the fur ball?" asked Naruto crossing his arms. Still chuckling, Jean and the others all sat in a small circle and started to concentrate and link their minds with Naruto. After taking a few deep calming breaths, Naruto closed his eyes and when he opened them he found himself and the others in,
"A sewer?" asked Naruto looking around. "My brain is a sewer? That's just great. Bobby is so going to love this."
"After all the abuse you suffered in your village, it's not that surprising your mindscape is so…" said Xavier.
"Disturbing?" said Emma Frost.
"I was going to say depressing, but I believe your term is more accurate Emma." responded Xavier.
"Um, Professor" said Naruto, "how are you standing up?"
"We are in your mind Naruto, so whatever physical problems I have in the real world don't exist in here if I don't want them to." explained the Professor. Naruto just shrugged.
"So, where do we go from here?" asked Kyomi.
"Something is pulling me this way," Said Jean as she started to lead the group down the tunnel. Just as the group of psychics nearly reached the end of the tunnel, Xavier held up his hand.
"The beast is here." He said. "It hasn't noticed us yet. Emma and I will go first. Psylocke, you and Jean stay here and watch out for Naruto." Slowly, he and Emma walked out of the shadows and approached the cage at the end of the hall.
"Hello Professor Charles Xavier." Said a great voice as a pair of giant red eyes and a fanged smile appeared on the other side of the bars. "Tell me, where is my vessel is hiding?"
"I will not let you speak to Naruto just yet." Xavier said. "Stay back for now Naruto." Xavier ordered telepathically. "First I have a few questions for you."
"Then give me a moment." Said the fox as it was surrounded by fire; when the flames died down, a man who one would probably conceder an older Naruto wearing a red coat with 9 fox tails, fox ears, and red eyes. "This is a bit easier to speak to you with in this form."
"So it would appear." Xavier said. "Now, how did you know who I was?"
"I know just about everything Naruto knows and then some." said the Fox. "I know all about you and your school Professor and I have to say I'm impressed by everything you do, taking those outcaste by society for things they could not control."
"Thank you." The Professor said. "Naruto, you can come out now, but I want you to stay close to Kyomi and Jean. Nodding to the two women beside him, Naruto walked forward, a look of fearless determination plastered on his face.
"What do you think of the look kit?" asked the Fox.
"I think it looks a bit better on me." Said Naruto; the Fox chuckled.
"Actually I based it off the man who sealed me inside you." explained the Fox. "Although now that you mention it…" he just trailed off and shrugged.
"Why did you attack my village?" Naruto asked. The Fox sighed, figuring that this was coming.
"Believe me kid, it wasn't by choice." It explained. "I was attacked by a group of people in black cloaks with red clouds. Most of the buzzed around me like the annoying flies that you humans are to me and one of them, a man in an orange spiral mask with a Sharingan eye, put me under a genjutsu and forced me to attack Konoha."
"So they're the ones we can really blame for screwing our lives over." said Naruto. Slowly, a wicked smile worked its way over his face. "How does a little pay back sound?" The Fox raised its eyebrow as did everyone else.
"What are you thinking kid?" asked Emma Frost.
"These guys attacked my home." Said Naruto, "even if most of those idiots wanted me dead, there are still a handful of people there who are worth protecting. These bastards wanted to hurt those people. Which means to me we need to take them out before they hurt anymore innocent people." A clapping was heard getting everyone's attention. All eyes turned to see Kyubi leaning against the cage bars.
"Not bad kid." It said. "Well if you plan on taking these bastards down, then I'll help you out. Your X-gene is still mostly dormant, but I can give it a little boost, only hiccup is the mutation may be influenced by me a bit."
"Influence how?" Psylocke asked.
"He will be able to call up Fox-fire, a special flame that can only be put out by the user's will and is capable of creating illusions. He will also be able to transform into a smaller version of myself, and the final power will be similar to the Uchiha's Sharingan, it'll let you see how a person uses a power or technique and will let you copy it. Only instead of affecting jutsus this gift will affect other mutant's abilities and maybe some kekkai genkai. Oh, and it will probably ramp up that healing ability of yours to match your old man's." explained the nine-tailed demon.
"So I'm looking at a tricky flame, a fox version of Wolfsbane, and a mutation copycat." said Naruto deep in thought. "Sounds like fun. I think with those I could be a real Trickster." The fox smirked and looked around before his eyes landed Jean and they went wide.
"You hold the Phoenix inside of you." it said.
"Do you know it?" Jean asked.
"You could say that," said the Fox, "you could also say that she and I were a little crazy back in the day."
"Ok, I think that's a little more information than we need to know about." Naruto said.
"This coming from a gaki with four girlfriends?" the fox smirked at the blonde before returning his attention back to Jean, "So my little canary, you mind coming out and singing a song for me."
A moment later a burst of golden fire surrounded Jean and in a moment a second Jean stood next to her. Only the newer one had golden-red feathers for hair and glowing crimson eyes.
"Long time, no see Big Red." stated the Phoenix with a grin before continuing, "Seems like I'm not the only one lacking a physical body these days."
"Ha-ha, very funny Hot Chick." responded the fox sarcastically
"If you two don't mind the interruption" stated a slightly annoyed Jean, "could one of you explain just how you know each other?"
"I believe the best term that humans have to describe our relationship would be fuck-buddies." answered the phoenix with a smirk, getting a round of blushes from all mutants involved.
"We were friends most of the time that just helped each other scratch an itch or two when we were both ready and willing." confirmed the fox.
"Which was quite often if I remember correctly." finished the Phoenix with a perverted grin.
"Yup." agreed the fox.
"Well not to cut this embarrassing conversation short," stated a crimson Naruto, "but is there anything else I need to know about your awakening my powers Kyuubi?"
"Just one more thing kit." responded the fox. "It's pretty likely that after your powers manifest if you mimic any psychic abilities, which is pretty likely since you're spending the next few years around some of the most powerful psychics in the world, you and I will probably develop a mental link."
"Got it." stated the blonde as the surrounding began to fade around them
A few moments later Naruto and the others awoke in the same position as they started back in the material world.
"So Naruto," asked Emma, "have your powers activated?"
Naruto closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment. After a second he raised his hand and a small orb of blue-white flames emerged from his open palm.
Naruto opened his eyes and stared at the orb of flame and with a moment's concentration the flame bended, danced, and altered it shape to Naruto's whim. With another thought and motion the flame transformed into a bunch of butterflies that flew around the room, only to extinguish with a final thought from the blonde.
"That answer your question Miss Frost." smirked the blonde before he turned to the others, "If you will all excuse me, I've got an egotistic snowball to go melt and an oversized laser pointer to discharge." he stated with a sinister smirk as he went off laughing maniacally as thoughts of revenge against his roommates filled his mind
Every adult in the room simultaneously sweat-dropped.

(A few weeks later)
Naruto stood in front Cyclops in the Danger Room.
Since the blonde's powers had awakened he'd taken the last few weeks to get complete control of them. He'd mostly mastered how to control both the fox-fire and transformations, with a little help from Wolfsbane for the transformation parts. His copying abilities however were still a little beyond his control. He'd already copied Scott's optic blasts, Psylocke's telepathy and mind blade, Nightcrawler's teleportation and increased agility and reflexes, Logan's enhanced senses, Gambit's kinetic charging abilities, and to a lesser extent Jean's telekinesis and Storm's weather control, though both were greatly reduced with him only having a fraction of Jean's power and only able to manipulate the wind fully while the rest was only good for parlor tricks.
Naruto didn't understand why he'd only copied their powers, but Kyuubi had explained to him that it was based on his close relationship with them combined with the maturity of his powers. Each of the X-men he'd copied his powers from had a close relationship with him and their abilities were fully developed, unlike the girls or the rest of his friends whose powers were still developing. Naruto had been satisfied with that explanation and now he was retrieving training from each of the X-men to control their own particular ability plus a few other useful skills.
"All right Naruto, I'm going to teach you how to control your aim with your new powers." Cyclops explained turning to a target and pressing a button on the side of his visor and firing a blast, hitting a perfect bull's eye.
"Wow, nice shot." Naruto commented.
'It's a pretty impressive power, even if the principle is pretty simplistic. I should be able to enhance it with my chakra.'The Fox said in Naruto's mind. 'I'll just make a small adjustment so that we can use it from our hands too like his brother.'
"All right what do I need to do?" Naruto asked. Ever since the meeting he and the Fox had gotten along pretty well. The Fox had stated that he wanted a strong contained, as befitted him as the king of demons, so he started to do what he could to aide and enhance Naruto's abilities and training.
'Just point your hand or look at your target concentrate chakra to the point of release and will it to fire. I'll do the rest.'explained the Fox. Nodding, Naruto raised his hand and concentrated. A blast of red chakra fired his hand, and an extremely large blast with enough recoil to knocked Naruto on his ass and destroyed the area to the right of the target.
"Looks like you've got plenty of power in your blasts, but you need to work on your aim. Try it again with less force until you get your aim under control, then we can move onto larger blasts." Scott instructed. Naruto growled and stood up raising his hand again. This time he concentrated on a less powerful blast and when it fired, the recoil didn't blow him back, but his aim was still off. "Ok, I still can't his the broad side of a barn with my hand, but maybe my aim could be a bit better with my eyes." Looking at the target again, Naruto focused on firing the Fox's chakra through his eyes. The energy shot through his eyes and hit the target dead center, but Naruto dropped to his knees, holding his eyes in pain.
"Naruto!" shouted Cyclops, dropping to the young man's side. After taking a few deep breaths and after he cried blood for a second, his eyes healed and Naruto got shakily to his feet.
"Apparently firing the Fox's chakra from my eyes damages them." Naruto groaned. "Probably not going to want to do that that much." For the rest of the day, Naruto practiced with his hand blast. After about 5 hours of practice, Naruto was able to hit it with little to no trouble on a normal sized blast.
"Not bad Naruto, not bad at all." Scott said. "Keep on practicing for an hour a day or so, and in a year or two you'll be a sniper with those things. Just keep in mind not to use your optic version unless absolutely necessary, we don't know how much strain your healing ability can handle just yet, and I'm sure you'll do fine."
"Eye blasts are a weapon of last resort, got it." Naruto said nodding.
"Hey Scott!" called Logan as he and Psylocke walked into the Danger Room. "If you're done with the Runt, the Misses and I want to work the kid to death." stated the feral man with a wicked grin. Scott left with a grin leaving Naruto alone with an evilly grinning Wolverine and Psylocke.
"You're going to kill me because I'm dating over half the Girls plus Rahne at the same time aren't you?" asked Naruto looking worriedly at his adoptive father.
"Oh yeah kid." said Wolverine, cracking his knuckles. With a sigh Naruto cracked his neck and dropped into a fighting stance that both Logan and Kyomi had taught him. Grinning, Wolverine popped his adamantium bone claws and Psylocke manifested her psychic katanas.
"I am so dead." muttered the blonde
Lunging forward with his claws, Wolverine prepared to skewer Naruto and would have if he hadn't jumped out of the way to dodge the attack and shifting into what he called his feral form.
After experimenting with his mutant powers, he had found that his shape shifting ability came with five forms: his standard human form which granted him no abilities with no tails, what he called his feral form which was human like but with fangs, claws, enhanced senses, three tails, and stuff like that; his half beast form, which gave him furry arms and legs, even bigger boosts to his senses, speed and strength boosts, and three more tails; then there was his full beast form that pretty much just turned himself into a nine tailed Kyubi the size of a 6 foot human. Lastly was his fox form, or as the girls called it his 'chibi form,' which was a normal sized fox with the same golden red fur as the rest and a single tail.
Leaping away from his adoptive father's claws, Naruto landed on all fours growling like an animal. Psylocke charged forward next, Psychic Katanas in hand as she slashed at Naruto who used his enhanced agility to dodge her slashes. After a back flip, Wolverine attacked again. Changing into his half-beast mode, Naruto caught his father's arms and struggled, seeing Psylocke charging towards him as well.
"I'm open to suggestions here." Naruto practically screamed to his tenet.
'Remember how you just need to think about blasting someone with Cyclops's power?'replied the Fox. 'Just think and focus chakra to where you want to blast from and it'll happen.'
"Got it." said Naruto, opening his mouth and firing off the Fox's chakra from his mouth and blowing Wolverine back and then firing off a hand blast at Psylocke.
"Not a bad combo Naruto." Psylocke said.
"Yeah it was all right Runt." growled Wolverine. "But this is just getting started."
"You're right." Naruto agreed, shifting back into his human form. "And I'm glad I got to see you guys in action, because I just figured out how to combine your powers." Clenching his fists causing claws of chakra that looked like Wolverine's to form on the back of one of his hands while a katana similar to his mother's only glowing blue instead of purple appeared in his other.
"Not bad Runt." grunted Wolverine with a bit of fatherly pride. "Now let's get back to business."
"Gladly," Naruto replied charging forward and locking claws and blade with his father. Sensing his mom coming up behind him, Naruto focused his Fox-fire at her, conjuring up a nine tailed fox to lunge at her and force her back. Their sparing went on for nearly three hours until Kyomi called it quits, unable to keep up with her son and husband and their near limitless stamina reserves.
God how she loved her husband's stamina when it came to other more enjoyable physical activities
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(7 am the next morning)
It was a peaceful morning in the Xavier Institute for the Gifted. Naruto had gotten to bed a little after midnight after over six hours of continuous sparring with his father and was now enjoying some well-deserved sleep. That is, until…
SPLASH!
…Naruto's newly enhanced reflexes and senses saved him from a very cold wake up call.
"Damn!" cursed Bobby, "How do you keep doing that?" he asked the annoying blonde, ever since the blonde's powers had awakened fully it had become nearly impossible to pull a decent prank on him, and added to that, the blonde's own pranks had grown to include his powers in many devious ways, earning him the X-name Trickster from a nearly unanimous vote from everyone in the Institute for the various tricks he created using powers. Needless to say, the prank war had turned in the blonde's favor. Alex had already surrendered and signed a cease-fire treaty, but Bobby was just too stubborn for his own good.
"Dad's enhanced senses and Uncle Kurt's enhanced reflexes." answered the blonde with his usual foxy smirk. When Bobby had been told about Naruto's ability to copy other mutant's abilities the older boy had been royally freaked by the thought that the blonde could turn his own powers against him. Luckily, for him at least, the blonde couldn't control which powers he copied so his ice abilities were safe for now.
"Stupid power copying little…" Bobby mumbled under his breath in annoyance. He couldn't finish his insult before the blonde cut a nearby string and he was lifted up by his feet and now hanging wrapped up in a combination wires, rope and sheets. "Damn it!" shouted the enraged Iceman.
"My X-name isn't Trickster just for my powers Frosty." stated the smirking blonde. He'd also inherited his father's habit of giving people annoying nicknames. He was quite pleased with the X-name his family had given him. It really felt right on the blonde's shoulders.
Bobby merely sighed in defeat and raised the white flag for this morning's battle. Naruto accepted the surrender and let his friend/rival/brother figure down. As Bobby stood back up he asked, "So what's on your schedule today since we don't have classes? Dates with the girls all day?" he asked with a bit of envy showing quite obviously in his voice.
"Afraid not. As much as I'd like to be spending the day with my lovely ladies, I've got training with Gambit all morning and Nightcrawler after that. Then mom is giving me more ninja training."
"Damn. I don't know whether to envy or pity you for all the training you get." stated Bobby.
"I gotta' train hard. Remember in a few years I'll be heading back to a place that mostly wants me dead, for a job that could get me killed." responded the blonde.
"I still don't understand why you're so dead-set on going back to that hell-hole." stated an annoyed Iceman. Naruto had told most of his friends about his life in the village and they were all pretty anti-Konoha after the story got out.
"Same reason we X-men fight to protect a world that mostly wants to see our entire species wiped off the face of the earth instead of joining Magneto on Genosha." the blonde answered calmly.
Bobby only nodded his head; his little bro was a true X-man at heart, always looking out for the greater good.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Danger Room: 1 hour later)
"Bonswa mon petit ami." greeted the Cajun mutant as Naruto entered the danger room. "Are you ready to begin an exciting day of training with your oncle Gambit?"
"To be honest Cajun." responded Naruto honestly, "I'd rather be spending the day with my lovely lady friends."
This response caused the red-eyed mutant to grin at the boy he viewed as either a nephew or ever a kid brother at times. "You're turning into a real chip off of my envoûtant block."
"Don't let mom catch you boasting about that or she'll skin you alive with her katana." responded the blonde with a smirk, getting a shudder from the older mutant. It was true. Psylocke blamed Gambit for turning her son into a womanizer, and had repeatedly threatened to remove what the Cajun, and any other man, held most precious for that fact.
Deciding that if he was stuck training for the day he might as well find out what Gambit was going to teach him over his training course. "Hey Gambit what are you and Kurt going to be teaching me? Dad's teaching me how to fight hand to hand or with my claws plus how to track people, Cyclops is teaching me how to better handle my destructive powers, not to mention strategy and leadership skills, and Mom is training me in my Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu skill plus the other ninja basics."
Gambit snapped out of his funk and answered the blonde, "I'm not sure what Kurt is going to be teaching you, you'll have to ask him this afternoon, but I intend to teach you the finer arts of thrown weapons, stealth, thievery, and how to wield a staff. Not to mention instructing you in the finer points of our newly shared gift. Granted we won't be getting into the serious training until later, but you can think of today as an introductory course. Nes Pa?"
"Got it, so where do we start?"
The next four hours of Naruto's training with the Cajun mutant went by rather quickly. It started with an hour of training in Gambit's explosive abilities, learning how to focusing the ruby energy into an object and then setting the energy to collapse and explode after a set time period or on contact with physical objects. After that another hour quickly passed with Naruto training with various throwing weapons ranging from shuriken and kunai to specially designed cards that, when infused with chakra, became as stiff and sharp as a razor blade. The next hour was devoted to practicing with the staff. Today's lesson was only an introduction so Gambit only taught him the basic stances for his fighting style. After that the final hour was devoted to teaching him the thieves' trade. Today's lesson for that area of his schooling was introduction into the various picks, wires, prods, and other tools that were the thief's best friends.
All in all the training period was quite a productive. He could infuse the destructive energy into a small Ping-Pong ball without much difficult, but setting the trigger was much more difficult. Gambit had told him that until he could perfectly control the detonation of a small object they wouldn't move onto larger objects. For throwing weapons Naruto had already had some basic training from his mom in that field, but Remmie's lessons were still quite useful for improving his accuracy and control. Bojutsu was a field that Naruto found very interesting since he knew his now officially adopted grandfather was a master in that field. He wondered if he could convince the old man to give him lessons when he returned to Konoha, but for now he devoured his uncle's lessons with great fervor. Finally the skills of a thief seemed useful to the blonde as ninjas needed to get into areas they weren't supposed to be in; well that and he knew it would drastically increase his pranking ability.
The two made a quick break for lunch after the training was complete and Naruto returned to the danger room for his training with Kurt at 2 o'clock. Unsurprisingly the blue-furred mutant arrived right on the dot with an explosion of black smoke.
"Hey Kurt, so what are you going to be teaching me?" asked the blonde curiously.
"Well mein neffe." responded the elf to his adopted nephew. "I will be teaching you how to use your teleportation powers and natural agility to the fullest in our training sessions. I also intend to teach you the art of fencing to help balance your mother's kenjutsu training. Like Gambit's training and Scott's yesterday this will only be an introductory class. The real training will start soon enough."
Naruto nodded his head. He'd seen his mother and uncle spar with their own unique blades before, and he was always impressed with the sheer speed and agility that Nightcrawler's fencing style used.
Another four hours passed quickly for the blonde. The first two hours were focused solely on Naruto learning to use and control his new teleportation ability. The key, as Kurt had taught him, was visualization of the target area. After two hours of constant effort and practice Naruto had the basics down so he could teleport to anywhere within 30ft of him as long as he could see it. It wasn't much, but it was a good start as Kurt had proudly told him. The next hour was devoted to his fencing training, mostly like Gambit's focusing on the basic stances. Finally the last hour was where Naruto shined. He had always been naturally agile and had used it to great effect in avoiding hate mobs in the village, and now, combine with Nightcrawler's mutant agility; he was more like a monkey than a person in the trapeze-like setting Kurt had prepared for this training session.
After the training was done Naruto left his uncle to meet his mother on the back fields to begin his training. Unlike most of his teachers, Psylocke preferred training her son outside the danger room. As Naruto approached the wooded area of the grounds his mother greeted him with a kind smile. "Good afternoon Sochi. Did your training with Gambit and Kurt go well?"
"It was fine mom, but I'd rather have been on dates with the girls today." he stated with a grin.
"I really am going to have to behead Remmie for turning you into a hopeless womanizer like him." Psylocke said with an annoyed sigh. "You're just lucky that you fall under the CRA thanks to your father and the girls agreed to share."
"And I count myself blessed for both facts on a daily basis." responded the blonde. It hadn't taken much for the two to realize who the blonde's biological father was, and with a little threatening from a very pissed Kyomi, Sarutobi spilled the beans. He'd also informed the blonde as the sole surviving heir of the Namikaze clan and the only son of Minato Namikaze, he would be placed under the CRA and forced to take on multiple spouses to repopulate his clan.
Needless to say the blonde was a little shocked, but he soon got over it. When he'd broken the news to the girls most had been less than thrilled, but after a girl huddle they'd agreed they would share the blonde among themselves and any others the blonde brought in as long as they met their approval. Naruto had agreed in a heartbeat. Well actually he had dropped to his knees, clapped his hands together and started thanking Kami with tears in his eyes. He couldn't wait to see the Old Man's face when he found out he already had four beautiful and powerful girls on his side.
"Moving on," stated Psylocke, "I've got two big announcements for you. One: I am going to be letting you sign the Sarutobi Monkey Contract soon and making you the newest contract holder since dad passed it on to me. Second we're going to start your training in elemental jutsu today, but before do that I need to test your affinities."
"How do we do that mom?" asked a curious blonde, he was quite excited about getting to sign his family's summoning contract, but he knew that could wait.
"Simply take this paper, and focus your chakra into it. The effect it has on the paper will tell us what your elements are." she answered handing him a rectangular sheet of paper.
Naruto nodded and did as instructed as he channeled some chakra into the paper. Instantly the paper split in half straight down the middle, with one half crumbling into powder and the other crumpling into a tight ball at one end.
