Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or X-Men: Evolution.

A/N: Sorry for the late upload since I said this would be out yesterday.. Just some final tweaking done to it. Also I have a poll up for Ninja On The League dealing with the harem.. I have Anko Mitarashi, and Mei Terumi as the two Naruto-Verse girls adding to it as I have it to where Naruto returned to his world. (I had a poll on who, and they won.)

I've gotten P.M.s, and reviews to change both, or one.. So I have four choices, Change Both, Keep Both, Change Anko, and Change Mei so pick one, and after a week, or so I'll let you know the results.

Beta: Jebest4781, and Chaos-PSD.

Chapter X: A Shadowed Past.

Last Time.

Cyclops hits him with an eye blast as Naruto hits him with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) having him hit the wall. Quicksilver dashed over, and unlocked a lock before dashing away. Storm made a gust of wind forcing him to his knees, and had Shadowcat, and Rogue unlocked the final two locks. Toad used his tongue to remove the helmet having Charles attack Juggernauts mind.

Emma, Unknown Location.

Emma, in a room lit by candles, stared at the people in cloaks sitting at a wooden table. "So, she's dating someone who's strong? So what?" Asked a male as Emma crossed her arms under her bust. "He's someone who can destroy anything to get her back...And I mean anything." She replied staring at the man.

"So we need to be careful around Naruto, or we'll be in his cross-hairs." Emma said as the others nodded. "Yes...We're not even ready to hold her. Getting a body has thrown our plans out the window, and threw us back close to years in preparation." A woman said as Emma sighed. "I know.. But she's preoccupied with Naruto, she hasn't done anything, or noticed me." She finished before turning around, and leaving as the candles went out.

A Few Days Later, Stokes County Maximum Security Prison.

Charles looked at his sleeping brother before hearing Logan behind him. "You can't control the wills of others Charles. They do what they want." Charles looked back to see Naruto, and Jean standing at the door. "I know Logan...And we do what we have to." He pressed a button having Cain go down in to the floor before leaving with the others.

Now.

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Early Morning.

Naruto, wearing only black camouflage pajama pants was walking down the hall drinking a bottle of water. "AAHH!" He dropped the bottle as he heard Rogue scream. He ran down the hall, and into the shared room of Kitty and Rogue. "What's wrong?!" He asked seeing Rogue panting, and sweating with a few strands of her hair sticking to her forehead.

"I...I don't know... I was dreaming." Rogue said holding her head as Kitty stood beside the bed. "Yeah...Her shrieking totally freaked me out." Kitty said as Naruto walked over, and sat down beside Rogue. "Was it about the finals? Did you have that dream where you were in the school in your underwear? You can tell me, leave nothing out, no matter how descriptive."

The two girls deadpanned at him as Jean, Scott, Rachel, and Evan walking in their sleep wears. "Made you forget the nightmare didn't I?" Naruto finished as Rogue looked to Kurt, and her eyes widened. "It was you." Naruto looked saddened at that. "What? Kurt? You're dreaming about him? I thought you would be dreaming about me!"

Rachel smiled as she hugged him from behind. "Well I've been dreaming about you... Want to make them a reality?" She asked nibbling on his ear. "Let's at least wait until we're eighteen." Naruto replied, as the others were talking to Rogue about her nightmare. Suddenly, Charles spoke up with his telepathy.

"Let's talk about this. Kurt, Rogue, come down with Jean, and Naruto.. We'll learn more about this, vision." Everyone but the requested four went back to bed, before they walked to the study and saw Charles waiting for them by the fireplace. They discussed Rogue's dream about a castle, and a woman who was escaping with a baby with blue fur, before dropping him in a river.

"I knew my parents adopted me...But I never knew about being fished out of the river." Kurt said, as he folded his hands in front of him. "Don't worry Kurt...We'll sort this out." Charles said, before looking to the couch where Naruto was sitting in between the girls. "Rogue, since this was your dream, why don't I start with you? Could you sit here?"

He asked, gesturing to the chair beside him. She walked over and sat down as Charles wheeled in front of her. He put his hands on the sides of his head, and scanned her, and saw the dream before pulling off of her. "Apparently Rogue, what you're experiencing as a dream...It's actually a repressed memory, Kurt's memory to be specific. Possibly due to your first absorption experience with him." Naruto looked down in thought before looking up as Charles excused them for the night.

Naruto waited for them to leave before turning his gaze towards the professor. "It's Mystique right?" Charles looked to him in surprise as Naruto continued. "They have the same energy...Plus Mystique's the only one old enough to be around when Kurt was a baby. Not only that but Rogue did touch her when we last encountered her during the snow trip, so she could of absorbed her memories as well." Charles sighed as he nodded. "Yes, she's Kurt's mother."

"Her allegiances aside. Why didn't she stay in touch with him? From what I gathered from the dream, she hated Magneto for performing the experiment on her son." Charles looked to him in surprise. "What? You told me she's been with him for a few years longer then that. And he's the only one she would actually, 'trust'." Naruto finished with air quotes on trust.

Next Day, Bayville High.

Naruto, wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans, cleared the vent he was crawling in of cobwebs, before coming to an opening where Charles was talking to Darkholme about Kurt. "For what's its worth. He grew up into a fine boy." Naruto quickly teleported outside by Rachel, who was walking to Jean and Scott.

"I need to know the truth about my life." Naruto turned to see Kurt talking to Rogue, before quickly taking his hoho-disguise off and teleporting away. "What was that about?" Naruto asked, walking over as Rogue sighed, and explained that he's upset about finding his birth parents. As they left, they never noticed a boy walking behind them with a sad expression, or a girl hiding behind a locker. (1.)

Later, Naruto was walking alongside Jean at the Mansion before stopping her. "Hold up, Prof. X says Kurt's gone, and wants us to look through his room for any clues as to where he went." They walked in, and started searching. "What exactly are we looking for?" Jean asked, as she went through his dresser. "Anything that says, 'Pietro was here'. Charles said he was here earlier."

"Quicksilver? Are you sure?" She asked, as Naruto looked at a stereo. "Well, you know how fast he is." Jean picked up a piece of paper, and turned around. "Hey, found something." Naruto took a look at it and saw it was in cursive. "If you want to know the truth, come to the new mall construction site at sundown. Come alone!"

"Get the others... I have a feeling Quicksilver isn't going to let this happen." Naruto said, as he walked out of the room. "What do you mean, isn't he the one who set this up?" Jean asked, as Naruto shook his head. "No this is in cursive. And a lot of public schools don't teach that. I'm sure he read it on the way here, and wants to stir up trouble."

Mall Construction Site, An Hour Later.

The X-Men caught to find Nightcrawler dodging attacks from the Brotherhood, as Mystique tried to stop them. "X-Men, move!" Toad jumped up in the air and shot his tongue at Spyke, who created a long spike to act like a staff. As Toad's tongue wrapped around it, Spyke threw him onto a pile of metal pipes.

Blob ran at Shadowcat who phased through him, making him turn his head in surprised confusion and run right into a cement mixer. Naruto dashed over to Avalanche, and kicks him right as he was going to attack Jean and Shadowcat. Rogue took off her gloves and touched Avalanche's face, just long enough for him to pass out.

She ran behind a truck, and saw Mystique trying to run. "Oh no you don't." Rogue said, before using Avalanche's power, forcing Mystique transform into a crow and flee.

The Next Day, Bayville High.

Mystique, disguised as principal Darkholme, was sitting at her desk, lamenting about how her reunion with her son went terribly wrong. She straightened up when she saw Naruto enter her office. "Mister Uzumaki, can I help something?" she asked. He then sat in the chair across from her and said, "You can drop your disguise, Mystique."

Mystique shifted into her normal self as her brows furrowed. "What do you want?" She asked, as Naruto leaned forward onto her desk and said, "For you to start from the beginning." Mystique gave him a confused look and asked, "What?" She asked as he stared. "Tell me the whole reason why a mother would give up her son and stay with the man who experimented on him in the first place. I won't tell Kurt if that's what you're worried about, that'll be for you to tell. But I would like to understand why."

Said Naruto, his blue eyes looking directly into her pale white ones. She didn't know why, but somehow she felt as though she could trust the boy. Mystique sighed, stood up, and walked to the large window. "I was once married to a German baron named, Christian Wagner, and lived a good life. All that changed when I met one of his business partners. His name was Azazel, at first glance there was an attraction between us."

"Later on, I found out that he was a mutant, with the ability to shapeshift, like me, and also...Could teleport as well." She spoke hesitantly. "So then, he's Kurt's real father." said Naruto. Mystique nodded and continued, "After we became intimate, I learned that I was pregnant with his child. But when I went to tell him, he just disappeared and I never saw him since."

"Christian believed the baby was his, so I didn't question the momentary good fortune. Then came the day when Kurt was born..." She sighed before continuing. "The birthing process proved too great for me to handle, that I ended up shifting back to my normal state. Christian believed that he married a demon, as well as sired one. He intended to kill both of us, starting with the baby... I... Had to do what I needed, to protect my son." she said in a solemn tone.

Naruto looked at her and said, "Believe me Mystique, I understand how far a mother would go to protect their child." Remembering what his own mother, Kushina, went through to keep him safe. "So, is that when you met Magneto?" he asked, as she turned and nodded. "After I killed Christian, mobs were out for both our blood. I fled into the mountains and came upon a castle, that's when I met him."

"I begged for sanctuary and he gave it all too willingly, he claimed that he desired to protect all mutantkind, as well as take our 'proper' place in the world. It all seemed well and good, almost too good." She looked down before continuing. "Then one night, I woke up to hear my son crying. I followed his cries and found Magneto experimenting on him, to see if he could enhance Kurt's powers."

"It's the reason why he now has my skin pigmentation and his father's bodily traits. After a heated argument I ended up fleeing again into the woods, only this time I ended up attracting a pack of wolves. They chased me through the mountain, until I came upon a rope bridge. As I was running across it I tripped and fell, causing me to drop Kurt into the river..."

"I thought my only child, my one ray of joy and happiness was gone forever." said Mystique, with tears attempting to fall. "If that's what happened, then why stay with Magneto all this time?" Naruto asked, albeit with a look of sympathy towards Mystique. She then chuckled, "Honestly, I don't even remember why anymore. Maybe it's just for revenge against humans, since they're the ones that started all this, but even so, it doesn't matter now. I'm in this to deep to get out now."

"It's never too late to change, no matter how far into your hatred you might be." said Naruto remembering the villians he faced in his time. "So after what happened in Germany, is that when you came here?" he asked. "Yes, I thought I might be able to get a fresh start, which I almost did with a woman I met, Irene."

"She was a mutant with the ability to see into the future, we became friends at first, but then it developed into something much more, 'physical'." Mystique said, with a fond smile and a slight blush in her cheeks. "Anyway, during our time together, we decided to adopt a little girl. I believed that I could regain what I had lost, but of course, there came more...Complications." she sighed.

"I think we can leave it there, for now anyway. Thank you Mystique, for telling me your story, it helped me understand you a bit more. And I promise, I won't tell a soul of anything you said here, especially Kurt." Naruto said as he got up of the chair and went for the door. "Wait! Why did you want to know in the first place? Do you think I'll just up and switch sides, because we had a small therapy session?" she asked.

Naruto turned around and said, "No, maybe not immediately, but I know that deep down you're a good person. Aside from sensing energies, I can also feel peoples inner emotions, and from what I can feel, you're a mother willing to do whatever she must to keep her children safe. Doesn't sound like much of a bad person, to me." Naruto said over his shoulder before a picture appeared on her desk.

"I fixed the picture for you.. I scanned the original, and just added you instead." He heard her sob as she saw the picture of a year old Kurt being held by her, and smiled as he closed the door.

Xavier's School For The Gifted

Kurt was crouching on the railing of his room's balcony alongside Rogue, contemplating his disbelief of Mystique being his mother. "Listen, Kurt, I really do know what you're going through. We'll both keep looking and we'll find our answers someday." Rogue said, as Kurt turned to her and smiled. "Thanks Rogue."

With that, she left for her room to prepare for the finals tomorrow, not noticing Naruto leaning against the hallway with a smile on his face. He then turned to see Jean wrap her hands around his arm. "What are you smiling about?" she asked. "Oh, just glad knowing that Rogue and Kurt are looking out for each other. Heh, from their conversation, you could almost mistake them for brother and sister."

A Few Days Later; Xavier's School For The Gifted, Morning.

Naruto walked out of his room, and saw Kitty holding a laptop walking down the hall. Before he could greet her, the others in their sleep wear walked down the hall, and into the bathrooms, making Kitty lose her balance, and fall in to Naruto who wrapped his arms around her. "Well, well... This IS a good morning, indeed."

She blushed before backing out of his arms. "Sorry... I'm just looking for a quiet spot to write to my parents." Naruto smiled at her, getting her to blush again. "My room's opened." He chuckled softly, as her whole body turned red at that. "No... Like I'll find a place." Naruto shrugged at that. "Ok it's a big place. A quiet spot shouldn't be hard to find."

Later, Naruto walked to the kitchen as Logan was drinking coffee, and reading the paper at the bay window as Kitty typed to her parents at the table that's filled with food. "What's the matter Half-Pint? Am I reading too loud for you?" Logan asked noticing Kitty was staring at him.

"No, just glad to have a quiet morning for once." Kitty replied just as the others came in, ate, drank, and turned up the T.V. "Not a morning person, huh Emma?" Naruto asked, seeing Emma's hair is a mess. "Shut up. At least I have two hours until school starts." Naruto was about to speak up until Logan turned the T.V.s volume up about a camping site being destroyed in Canada.

He muttered under his breath before storming out before Naruto followed after him, glancing at Kitty's laptop, and read the last sentence about Logan. "I mean it's not like his life's harder than ours." Naruto sighed as he puts a hand on her head. "It is harder Kitty..." The others looked up to him as he continued.

"He doesn't remember anything from before his... Experiments... You know I actually found photo's of Logan fighting in WWII... And he's probably been in every war since... Don't even know how old he really is and of what he previously experienced… I wouldn't wish that on anyone.." He finished before walking to the door. "How would you know about war?" Naruto turned to Evan, who spoke up.

"I was in a World War when I was sixteen... I was only in it for just a day or two before we won... Ten years later, I'm still having nightmares... Logan went through at least three, these last forty plus years." Naruto finished walking out, and seeing Kitty try to find a place to type. Later, he walked to the living room where Evan was shooting small spikes at the ceiling.

"What the hell are you doing?" Evan shot one more making Naruto look up, and saw a poster. "Festering Boils? What the hell kinda name is that? I bet that makes the ladies run. Far away from them." Kitty walked in as Naruto continued. "Evan, you have until the count of five to stop that, and take THAT back to your room."

"There's no more room in mine." Evan replied, making Naruto point up. "Then put that on your ceiling. You seem to have no problem doing it on this one."

Blackbird.

Naruto and Kurt, out of his disguise, walked inside the jet, and saw Kitty sitting on one of the extra folding seats. "Why are you out here?" Kurt asked, as Kitty crossed her arms under her bust. "Out of like necessity." She explained that no matter what or where, she couldn't get any privacy to write. "Well come on I'm giving you a ride to school." Naruto said as she huffed.

She closed her laptop and stood up. Only for the Blackbird to suddenly move and forced them to fall, with Kitty falling on top of Naruto. "Well, I'm having Deja Vu, how about you, Kitty?" She quickly got up, having Naruto kip up, walk to the cockpit, and saw Login in his costume with his mask pulled down. "It's Mr. Logan." Kitty said as Kurt tried to walk up. Naruto stopped him and warily spoke.

"Wait... He's been acting strange all morning." Kurt snorted at that before walking up. Only for Logan to bring his right fist up, and have the claws come out near Kurt's head. Kurt flashed back as Logan held his head. "Get back!" Naruto reached behind him, and pulled a modern Karambit knife, and slams it into a button near the door.

Naruto pulled it out as Logan ran down, and sliced the door as it came up, leaving marks in it.

Later, Canada.

Naruto, in his costume, phased through the Blackbird with Shadowcat as Nightcrawler poofed beside them. "Were you able to get in the cockpit?" Shadowcat asked as Nightcrawler nodded. "Yeah, but something's blocking the signal. I can't reach the Institute." Naruto looked to where Wolverine went before walking towards the woods. "Not much else we can do but follow Wolverine."

After an hour of looking around, they saw Wolverine standing on top of a boulder. "Mr. Logan?" Shadowcat said, before seeing Wolverine look to them, and Sabertooth walk out of the shadows. "Crap! RUN!" Naruto yelled as they ran with the duo-giving chase. Nightcrawler poofed away as Wolverine chased Naruto and Shadowcat.

Sabertooth went another way as Naruto pulled Shadowcat with him. Naruto looked back before running off of a hill, and slid down with Shadowcat. Naruto quickly got up, and put Shadowcat behind him as Wolverine jumped down. "Mr. Logan! It's us!" Shadowcat said, having Wolverine stop. ".. Naruto.. Kitty..." Naruto starts moving back, pushing Shadowcat away before Wolverine gave chase again.

They split up having Wolverine go after Shadowcat. "Damn it, I thought he would go after me." Naruto said, before seeing Shadowcat get pinned at a tree. Wolverine lunged as she closed her eyes.

Slink.

She heard blades piercing skin, but didn't feel pain. She opened her eyes, and gasped as Naruto stood in front of her with all six of Wolverines blades piercing his stomach. "Kitty... Run..." Naruto said, grabbing Wolverine, and kept him in place. "N...Naruto..." She said as rain started to fall before looking to Wolverine.

She pulled his mask off, and looked at him. "Logan...It's us, the X-Men. We all had breakfast together a few hours ago." Shadowcat said, just as Nightcrawler poofed beside them. Wolverine pulled his claws out of Naruto, who fell to his knees. Suddenly, Wolverine was attacked by Sabretooth, who tackled him down a hill, and disappeared into the woods.

Naruto got up on his knee before being tackled by Shadowcat. "Easy Kitty... I'm still sore." She sobbed in his chest before looking up. "Why... Why would you do that?" Naruto smiled a little before coughing. "You're my friend. Simple as that." He saw her look down for a moment. "Kitty what's wron.. HMPH!" He was interrupted as Shadowcat roughly kissed him on the lips.

She pulled back, and looked in his eyes. "Ok... We should really help Logan out now." Naruto looked to see Nightcrawler looking down at them. "Yeah... You two go... I still need to heal, so I'll head back to the Blackbird... And see if I can contact the Institute." Naruto said as his wounds slowly healed while getting up and walking away.

Blackbird

After another failed attempt at establishing communications, Naruto heard an explosion, then felt the jet shake. He looked outside and saw a tower of smoke coming up from the mountains. "Kitty." he said in a worried tone. Suddenly, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and a very injured Wolverine appeared in a flash of smoke.

"Whoa, what exactly did I miss?" he asked. "It's a long story. One I'd rather tell after you get patched up." she said, carrying Logan to the medbay. "Fair enough, looks like you'll be bringing us home Kurt." he said, as Kurt grinned excitedly. "I get to pilot the Blackbird? Sweet!" he exclaimed. Naruto chuckled at this, despite the pain, "Yes, but not with your feet."

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Night.

Naruto, wearing only blue jeans, and bandages around his chest and stomach, watched as Kurt kept everyone out of the dining room. "Ok, relax guys. If you're all that hungry, go and eat in the kitchen." Naruto said, as the others grumbled and left, as Jean and Rachel gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't strain yourself too much today, Naurto. You might have fast healing, but taking six blades to the midsection's got to be strenuous." said Jean, with a caring tone. "Of course, a couple of nurse outfits might be able to help speed up the healing process. Especially in a more, 'private', setting." Rachel said with half-lidded eyes and a seductive tone.

"Wait, seriously?!" Naruto asked excitedly. "Rachel! I thought we agreed to keep that a secret...At least until we got him in that, 'private setting', you mentioned." Jean said, enjoying the dumbfounded look on Naruto, as they walked off. Kurt teleported away as Naruto opened the door and saw Kitty sitting at the table, typing on her laptop.

Smiling, he snuck up behind her, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hey beautiful." Naruto said grunting a little. She smiled up at him before giving him a kiss. "Hey yourself, my hero. Glad to see you can stand without, like, wincing. Here's hoping you won't be saving all of your damsels in that fashion." Kitty said.

"Hey, what kind of hero or boyfriend would I be if I didn't sweep my ladies off their feet!" She giggled in surprise as Naruto picked her up bridal style before walking away, and phased through the door.

To Be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading, and Let me know of any mistakes.
