"Alright listen up maggots, you are at my survival camp and you will as I say from here on out. Do you read me?," yelled Sergeant Hawk.
"Yes sir," shouted everyone except for Naruto who was filing his nails because Kyuubi thought it would be funny to make his hands seem like claws.
"Scott Summers will be our group leader due to his scholastic achievements. Now move out and get to your barracks," yelled Sergeant Hawk. The kids didn't need to be told twice and headed off to put there stuff away, except the kids from the Institute.
"Aww man, didn't anyone tell him I'm a city boy and that I'm not cut out for this," said Evan.
"Come on guys, this could be fun," said Jean.
"Fun, yeah right, try more like torture," said Kitty with a groan.
"Hey guys, we were given a choice. Either survival training here or with Logan," said Scott.
"Yeah some choice," said Rogue sarcastically.
"You all excited as I am, it has been so long since I have breathed the fresh air of nature," said Naruto leaning on Scott's shoulder and causing the boy to glare at him.
"Who are you?" asked Jean looking at Naruto and blushing when he gave her a charming smile.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki, at your service my lady," said Naruto appearing in front of her and kissing her hand. Scott once again, was giving the boy a death glare behind his glasses.
"Hey," yelled Rogue and Kitty before they turned to glare at each other.
"Kitty, Rogue, it is good to see you two again. I tried calling you both, but your numbers were blocked," said Naruto.
"Yeah, the professors put us on probation for coming home so late that day you took us out," said Kitty with a blush.
"I still say that they went overboard and should have cut us some slack," said Rogue crossing her arms across her chest.
"Dude, how can you be so happy that we will be doing survival training," said Evan giving Naruto a weird look.
"I was raised in nature practically, I love the feeling of working out and training. Like I told Rogue and Kitty, I am a master ninja and as such I tend to feel extremely at home in the wild," said Naruto inhaling the fresh air.
"You still on about being a ninja?" said Rogue with a smirk.
"You know it, if you be a good girl maybe I'll show you some of my skills one day," said Naruto with a wink that caused Rogue, Kitty, and Jean to blush.
"Yeah come on guys, we need to get going," said Scott trying to get the boy away from the girl he liked.
"Me too, I'll see you all later," said Naruto before waving goodbye to them all.
Break
"Alright everyone, first obstacle is to climb those ropes, zip over to those rafts and cross the finish line. On my whistle go," yelled Sergeant Hawk before blowing his whistle. Everyone took off and immediately started to climb the ropes except for the Blob who's rope broke the moment he tried to climb up it.
"Give it up Summers, there is no way you're winning," said Lance as they climbed up the ropes.
"Forget it, I will not lose to you," growled Scott pushing himself to the limits. They were so busy focused on each other they didn't even noticed Naruto was already past both of them and zipping down to the rafts.
"Wow, isn't Naruto incredible," said Kitty as she watched him easily beat Lance and Scott without breaking a sweat. Those two had actually started to use their powers on each other in order to win, but realized too late that Naruto was already across the finish line and looking bored.
"Yeah, I guess he wasn't lying about loving to work out and do this type of stuff," said Rogue impressed.
"Yes, but something just doesn't feel right about him," said Jean with a pensive look.
"Yeah the fact that he likes this stuff is what is wrong with him," said Evan panting heavily.
"He just got lucky is all it is, if Lance didn't have to worry about pretty boy cheating then he easily would have beat both of them," said Pietro.
"Yeah right, if Lance hadn't used his powers then Scott would have had to use his back to even the playing field," said Kurt.
"You want to start something you little punk," growled Blob as he punched one of his fist into his palm.
"Quiet down Maggots," yelled Sergeant Hawk blowing his whistle loudly.

"Now since you all think you are tough guys, I will give you a task to prove it," said Sergeant Hawk.
"I have placed a flag on top of the mountain and the first team to retrieve it wins," said Sergeant Hawk.
"Piece of cake, my team can rest while I get the flag myself," said Pietro arrogantly.
"Not if I beat you to it first," said Kurt.
"Quiet, you will all have to reach the flag as a team or you do not win. As proof, I want a picture of you and your team with the flag that understood?" yelled Sergeant Hawk.
"Yes sir," shouted everyone.
"Yo sir, I do not have a team so am I exempt?" asked Naruto with a bored look.
"No, you will just be required to start from a different trail that will be much harder to navigate through," said Sergeant Hawk before leading Naruto away from Scott and Lance's teams.
"I hope he'll be ok," said Kitty worried.
"I'm sure he'll be fine, now that he doesn't have to worry about Lance and Scott blowing their tops and revealing us to him," said Rogue.
"Don't have to worry about that, Scott and Lance just agreed to not use powers the whole trip," said Evan.
"Yeah right, like those two could ever agree on something," said Kitty.

'Traveling by one's self is so boring,' thought Naruto as he leapt through the trees at jounin level speed. He was nothing but a blur to the naked eye that only quicksilver had a pray of seeing or keeping up with since the boy moved at Kage level speeds, which Naruto could match but didn't feel like moving that fast at the moment.
It didn't take Naruto long to reach the mountain and it took him even less time to climb it and get to the flag.
'So boring, I think I'll read one Icha Icha Paradise, the only copy I managed to bring with me,' thought Naruto as he sat down next to the flag and started to read a little orange book.
Break
"Hey Pietro," said Blob signaling to the flag.
"I'm on it," replied Pietro with a smirk before he took off as fast as he could towards the flag. He ran right by Kurt and Kitty, which caused Kurt to shout in surprise.
"Oh no you don't," said Kurt before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and reappearing at the top of the mountain. He grabbed the flag at the same time as Pietro and they started to have a tug of war contest. The two teams were about to break out fighting, but were stopped when a jet came out of the sky and Storm started to speak to them from a speaker.
"X-men, Professor Xavier is in trouble and needs your help. Mystique is also in trouble," said Storm.
"You ready?" asked Scott looking at Lance.
"You bet, just don't get in our way," said Lance. Unknown to them, they were being watched by someone who found the whole situation amusing.
'Interesting, so it seems that there is trouble at the Institute, but I wonder what it could be,' thought Naruto as he watched the jet take off before he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

"Wow, must have been some party," joked Naruto as he stealthily made his way through the mansion. Their parts of the mansion where it looked like a bulldozer had made its way through the place, but Naruto knew it was merely some type of mutant that was probably incredibly huge and extremely powerful. It turned out his theory was correct because he made it just in time to see the X-men and The Brotherhood fighting the Unstoppable Juggernaut.
'Unstoppable Juggernaut, pathetic, I could easily squash that human,' growled Kyuubi with a smirk.
'Not all of us are the size of skyscrapers fox,' replied Naruto as he watched the fight.
'You are not the size of a skyscraper and you could easily wipe the floor with the Unstoppable Juggernautas well so don't sass me brat,' growled Kyuubi.
'That is true, but that is because I was trained to fight all type of opponents. This guy is powerful, but Obaa-chan was much stronger then him,' said Naruto unimpressed by the Juggernaut's power.
'All humans are weak in my book,' replied Kyuubi before going back to sleep.
'Says that every time and refuses to admit that some are powerful,' sighed Naruto as he continued to watch the fight. From what he could tell both teams had never worked too, much on teamwork and because of that Juggernaut was able to pick them off individually quite easily.
'Their teamwork is lacking, but one can not deny the effectiveness of their attacks,' thought Naruto as he watched the battle from the shadows. It didn't take long before they managed to get the Juggernauts helmet off and Professor Xavier used his psychic powers to knock his half-brother unconscious.
'Not bad, I will have to keep my eye on that Professor or he might just find out my secrets,' thought Naruto before disappearing once again in a swirl of leaves.

"You can not change the wills of others Charles, people do what they want to do," said Logan.
"Yes, and we must do what we have to do, but still I wish for a day where my brother and others won't feel the need to punish others," said Charles before rolling off. Scott and Jean just followed behind the two adults as the steel doors shut behind them. They never saw Naruto step out of the shadows and stand before the man known as the Unstoppable Juggernaut.
'Hmm, he would be a powerful ally if I could find a way to sway him to my side,' thought Naruto, as he looked upon the man being contained inside the tube with green fluid surround him.
'You are a seal master brat, bind him to you and make him your slave,' said Kyuubi.
'I am not Orochimaru, I do not force people to serve me,' replied Naruto angrily.
'You're the one whom needs allies because of all those damn orphans you started to take in human and mutant alike. You and I both know that something evil will be coming in the future and you will need all the help you can get. This man will never be free so long as he continues to go on rampages and such, so why not make him a slave to you where he will only do good in your name,' said Kyuubi logically even though the whole idea of doing good disgusted him.
'You may be right, but I still don't feel right doing it,' said Naruto conceding that the fox made a valid point.
'Put a seal on him then that locks away his hate and anger so that he won't be a slave, but just someone whom wishes to do good for the world,' said Kyuubi in disgust.
'It seems that will be my only option. He is too powerful to leave unchecked so it seems I either seal away his anger and hate or I destroy him,' said Naruto not liking the choices, but knowing he had to do it. Before he even came to Bayville, he had done what he started to do in his old world when he was out traveling and that was helping those less fortunate then him. He didn't like to see kids suffering so he always brought them back with him to Konoha or found a nice family for him, but he couldn't do that here because there was no Konoha and there were laws making it so you had to legally adopt a kid or it was considered kidnapping. So he secretly built a place that was even more heavily guarded then the Xavier Institute and started to house those less fortunate there where they would have a place to live and grow happily.
It was first a place for mutants much like the Xavier Institute, but later he started bringing regular people as well because he didn't like to discriminate and it would help keep the new generation a little more open minded about those different from them if they had friends with special powers when they were little. Overall, the place was designed for the same reasons as the Xavier Institute, but much safer. Naruto had actually planned to bring the children he found over to the Xavier Institute to live, but he didn't want them to get caught in the crossfire of the battles that seemed to go on there, so he decided against it in the end.
Now he had the possibility to gain a powerful ally to help protect the kids when he couldn't and he just couldn't allow the opportunity to go to waste. The Juggernaut would serve the children, whether he wanted to or not and Naruto prayed that he would burn in hell for what he was about to do. The man may be evil, but no one deserves to be forced into servitude.
"Forgive me, but I can not allow someone else to gain your power especially for evil means," said Naruto to the man, before he started to perform some hand seals at Kage level speed.

"You know I wondered what happened to Naruto. We left so soon that I never found out if he made it to the top or not," said Kitty talking to Rogue. Ever since they started to hang with Naruto the two girls seemed to be able to overlook their differences in personality and quickly became the best of friends. Rogue still didn't like some things about Kitty, but Kitty could find some things she didn't like about Rogue all that much either so it all worked out in the end.
"Yeah, knowing him though he probably made it up the mountain without any trouble. I mean you saw the way he was easily able to do everything else," replied Rogue.
"Aww thanks, it means a lot to me to hear you both concerned for my safety," said Naruto appearing besides Kitty and scaring both girls.
"What did I tell you about doing that?" growled Rogue.
"Um, don't?" asked Naruto sheepishly.
"How do you keep sneaking up on us anyway?" asked Kitty as she got her breathing back under control.
"I told you, it is my awesome ninja skills. Why can't you two accept that?" replied Naruto with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," said Rogue rolling her eyes.
'Thank god he is such a cutie and overall nice guy, or that ninja stuff he keeps talking about would start to get really annoying,' thought Kitty with a small smile and not knowing Rogue was having similar thoughts.
"So girls, what happened to you yesterday?" asked Naruto already knowing they wouldn't tell him the truth.
"Nothing, we just got called back to the Institute for an emergency," lied Rogue with Kitty nodding vigorously besides her.
"Oh, well I hope it wasn't anything to serious," said Naruto putting some concern in his voice.
"Naw, we handled it easily," said Kitty dismissively.
"That's good, well listen I was wondering if you two were no longer grounded or not because if you aren't then maybe we could catch a movie or something," said Naruto with a smile.
"Unfortunately, we are still grounded until Friday, which is in like two days," said Kitty with a frown. Here she was being asked out by like the hottest guy in school and nicest, and she couldn't go because she was grounded.
"Yeah, what she said," said Rogue not liking it anymore then Kitty.
"Well that's too bad, I guess some other time then, but until then we can still hang out at lunch so I'll see you then," said Naruto before waving goodbye to the girls.
"I so hate the professors right now," said Kitty slumping her shoulders.
"Yeah, I know what you mean girl," replied Rogue before they each headed off to their own classes.

'Only a few more weeks until summer vacation,' thought Naruto happily, as he lied down on his couch.
'Brat, you are starting to become too lazy,' said Kyuubi.
'Doesn't really matter if I do because I know you won't allow me to lose any of my strength since you refuse to have a weak vessel,' replied Naruto with a smirk.
'Your disrespectfulness knows no bounds does it brat,' growled Kyuubi.
'I love you too fox-chan,' said Naruto with a smile. Kyuubi just went back to sleep grumbling about annoying brats. Naruto just closed his eyes and was planning on taking a small nap, but beeping from his watch caused him to snap open his eyes and get up.
'Wonder what is up,' thought Naruto before he pressed a button on his watch and a holographic image of a man appeared before him. The man looked to be around in his thirties and was wear some casual blue jeans, a short-sleeved red shirt, and a baseball cap backwards.
"Yo Tech, what's up?" asked Naruto. The man was a friend of Naruto's that he meant when he first arrived here in this world. He ended up saving the man's life from some people who wanted to use his family to force the man to hack into some vault for them. Naruto ended up saving his and his family's life and has since then they had been close friends, with Naruto trusting the man with most of his secrets.
Tech wasn't the man's real name, but that is what Naruto and everyone else called him because of he was able to operate any type of technology there was. He was a super genius even if he didn't act or look like one. There was nothing the man couldn't do with a computer and some of the devices he built were out of this world. Tech is the one who built and designed the facility Naruto used to house the orphans he picked up. The man was even able to make it so the whole thing was legal and Naruto wouldn't get into any trouble. Naruto owed the man a lot, but Tech always refused saying that nothing could make up for saving his family lives and his own.
"Not much fox, but I think I got something that you will be interested in," said Tech.
"I've been kind of bored lately with school, what you got for me," replied Naruto curious.
"You know those design plans for Cerebro that you sent me? Well I took a look at them and I think I might be able to recreate the machine except you won't need someone with psychic abilities to operate it," said Tech with a smirk.
"Are you serious?" asked Naruto amazed.
"Oh yeah, the only draw back is that some of the parts needed to build the machine are almost impossible to come buy without drawing attention," said Tech with a frown.
"Yeah I expected that much, but it doesn't matter because we won't be using it like Professor Xavier does to find every new mutant. We will be using it for much different purposes and that is too keep track of all those who are already with us so that we don't draw attention from Xavier or Magneto," said Naruto knowing both men would get curious if new mutants started to get recruited by a third party. He only wanted Cerebro mainly to keep a close eye on those children already at the 'orphanage' that he had already set up. Most kids that he had house were under the age of 10 and had manifested their powers at such an early age their parents ended up kicking them out of their homes. There few that were older and in their teens, but those ones had ran away from scared that their parents would reject them and Naruto offered them a place to stay until they were read to confront their parents. In addition, some adults that helped run the 'orphanage' like Tech just liked helping people like himself, which is why they no longer just took in just mutant children, but people without powers as well to help integrate them and eliminate discrimination. Naruto was very pleased with the progress and hoped to keep things running smoothly like they currently were.
"Of course boss, still feels weird having a 17-year-old boy running a massive operation like this," said Tech with a smirk.
"I told you before, just because I am young doesn't mean I don't know the meaning of responsibility. I was the youngest Hokage in history don't forget that," said Naruto returning the smirk.
"Yeah, yeah safe the stories for the children because I am not so easily impressed. Anyway, word on the street is that there are a bunch of mutants that live in the sewers that call themselves the Morlocks," said Tech.
"Morlocks heh, I'll have to check it out and maybe I'll be able to help a few people down there," said Naruto thoughtfully.
"Oh and one last thing, I want to set up another facility on the west coast," said Tech surprising Naruto.
"Why's that Tech?" asked Naruto curiously.
"Opening up multiple facilities will make it easier for kids that want to move around and visit new areas. If I were them I would want the option to explore and not be cooped up in the same place all the time," replied Tech with a shrug.
"I know there is another reason, but for now that sounds like a reasonable enough one to me. I'll leave you to find the perfect spot to put it, then I'll give you access to my bank so that you can pay for the new facility and make sure to use the same people as last time," said Naruto with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah I'll talk to you later fox. Tech out," said Tech before the holographic image disappeared.
'A new facility, sounds good to me,' thought Naruto before taking that nap he wanted earlier.

"Hey Evan, what's up man?" asked Naruto as school got out.
"Nothing much man, about to head over to the pipes and try out some new moves. You want to come?" replied Evan.
"I still need to get a new board from when I broke it last week when I came down too hard on that pole," said Naruto causing Evan to laugh at the memory.
"Yeah man, you wiped bad on that one," laughed Evan.
"Yeah, laugh up it, but at least I didn't crash into that hot dog stand and end up with 50 packets of ketchup in my hair," said Naruto with a smirk.
"That was low man, real low," said Evan returning the smirk.
"Yeah, good times. Well listen man, I'm about to head out, but I might stop by the pipes this weekend so I'll give you a call to see if you want to head out with me and I'll give you a ride," said Naruto before doing the 'special' handshake with Evan.
"You know it man," said Evan before they both split up in different directions. Naruto was on his way home and was cutting through the football field when he noticed the Principal giving some envelope to Pietro before he zoomed off with it.
'Interesting, he is headed towards the Xavier Institute, but the question is why. Oh well, they can handle themselves, right now I need to get home then head out to do some training because I have become too lazy as of lately,' thought Naruto before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
Nighttime
'Says there are mutants down in the sewers, let's see if the rumors are true,' thought Naruto before lifting up the sewer lid and jumping down. He used his chakra to stay on top of the water and then sent out a chakra pulse like a bat would to see where objects are, except Naruto used it to find if there was anybody down in the sewers near him. It didn't take long before he felt a few people about 70 feet southwest of him and he headed off in that direction being as silent as he could.
'The closer I get, the more presences I start to feel,' thought Naruto as he continuously made his way through the sewer tunnels. It didn't take him long, before he found what seemed to be a society of mutants living together in horrible conditions, but helping each other as a family should. Naruto wanted to reveal himself and offer them a sanctuary somewhere else, but just watching them interact with each other he knew that they would refuse.
'I can see why they stay down here and not up on the surface. They are just like most of the kids that get kicked out of their homes by their parents because their mutation takes on a more physical aspect making them look more like beasts to people instead of what they are, humans,' thought Naruto. There was no point in asking these people to come with him because they would only think he was pitying them and would try to use them.
'Makes you feel like back home at Konoha when you were just a kid, when they all believed that you were the reincarnation of me,' laughed Kyuubi in glee.
'Yeah, and like me they don't want someone's pity so I will not interfere with their lives unless I am forced to in the future,' thought Naruto before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Naruto!" yelled a bunch of little kids before running up to the older boy and hugging his legs.
"Hey, how are you all doing?" asked Naruto cheerfully as he patted each of the kids on the head and gave them hugs.
"You always do seem to like to make an entrance don't you Naruto?" said a woman with long sky blue hair whom came walking into the room with a smile of her face. She was very beautiful and had a body that would make most women jealous.
"You know me Sky, I like to leave an impression," said Naruto smiling at the woman. Sky was an empath mutant, which meant she could tell what people were feeling at any given time. She was in her mid-thirties and had a master's degree in education. It also made her great with kids because she was able to feel what they were feeling at any moment in time and help them out.
"Yes you do, and that makes you worse then some of the kids that I watch over," said Sky as she gave Naruto a small hug before looking at him and trying to use her empathy abilities to see if anything was wrong. The only problem with using her powers on Naruto was that he seemed to be able to block her out even though she knew he had no psychic abilities. The boy was truly an enigma to her, but that was ok because she knew he was a good person so she was fine with him keeping secrets from her.
"Aww, why are you always so mean to me. Hey kids isn't Sky just a big meanie?" asked Naruto with a smirk, but it fell from his face when all the kids started to shout that Sky was the best.
"Looks like that backfired on you," said Sky with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up woman, but I will have my revenge. Ok kids, go back to bed and I promise to play with you all tomorrow," said Naruto with a smile. The kids just groaned, but complied nonetheless after making sure Naruto would play with them in the morning tomorrow. Naruto and Sky just watched them go with caring smiles on their faces, before he turned to face each other.
"How have they been Sky?" asked Naruto turning to face the woman.
"They are doing good, even the new ones that you and Tech keep bringing in every week are getting along with the others well," replied Sky facing Naruto.
"I am glad to hear that, I was able to get a few new teachers with Tech's help, in order to give you more hands around here. Don't worry I checked them all out and they are trustworthy," said Naruto.
"Good, because it is hard to watch over 70 kids with only four other teachers," said Sky with a grateful smile.
"How is the new teacher doing?" asked Naruto with a smirk, which caused him to be slapped on the arm.
"You know when you first brought the Juggernaut here I thought you were joking with us, but whatever you did to him I want to thank you because he is great with the kids and they love him. You wouldn't expect such a giant of a man to be so gentle," said Sky giving Naruto a skeptical look.
"What can I say, the man just found his calling and came to me for a job," said Naruto while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah right, but it doesn't matter because the man is a great help with the children so I don't need to know the truth," said Sky giving Naruto a knowing look.
"You truly are the best Sky, I see why the kids love you so much," said Naruto with a heart-breaking smile. Sky may have been much older then the boy, but she couldn't deny that in the words of the younger generation he was 'yummy,' and she sometimes wished she was younger because of his charms.
"Yeah, yeah now get to sleep you little heart-breaker. You have a big day with the kids tomorrow," said Sky hiding her small blush.
"Yes ma'am," said Naruto as he saluted Sky then marched out of the room.
'Smart ass,' thought Sky as she took the time to check out his ass before going to her own room with a large smile on her face.
Two Days Later
"Hey Rogue, what's up?" asked Naruto coming up besides the girl.
"Hey Naruto, nothing much recently except for the finals coming up in a week," said Rogue with a frown.
"I exempt most of my finals, I got all A's,' said Naruto with a smirk. He didn't tell her that he used his Kage Bunshin during classes in order to memorize all the assignments in order to get A's, but no matter.
"You don't seem like a straight A type," said Rogue surprised.
"Hey that hurts," said Naruto has he held a hand to his chest in pain.
"If you want, I can help you study some time before the finals. I got plenty of time now that I exempt all my finals," said Naruto with a smile.
"Yeah, that sounds good to me," said Rogue with a smirk.
'I will so rub this in Kitty's face later,' thought Rogue viciously.
"Awesome, we can start after school today. I'll give you a lift home as usual?" said Naruto. He had started to give Kitty and Rogue a ride home since the day after they went out for the first time. He was even given his own I.D. card to the Institute so that he wouldn't have to wait outside the gate all day for someone to beep him in, he came over there so often. The Professors didn't seem to happy when they gave it to him, but they were getting tired of Kitty bugging them to give him an I.D. card so they did it to keep her quiet.
"Yeah, just wait outside the chemistry lab class for me since that is my last class of the day.
"I'll see you then Rogue," said Naruto with a wink and taking great pleasure as she blushed lightly.

"Hey man, I never got a call from you this weekend. You didn't ditch me to go to the pipes yourself now did you?" asked Evan as the two met in the hallway.
"Naw man, I had some family issues come up so I was forced to change my plans. Sorry, I should have called and let you know," said Naruto doing the handshake with Evan.
"Aww man that sucks, maybe some other time then man," said Evan.
"Sounds good to me, maybe after I'm done helping Rogue study we can skate the steps at the mansion," said Naruto with a smirk.
"You know you really made Aunty O mad when you landed in her flower garden last time we did that," said Evan laughing at the memory.
"Yeah, I don't want to do that again because that woman has one hell of a temper. I swear the sky started to turn dark she was so angry," said Naruto with a grin.
"Yeah man, you might have imagined that second part, but she does get mad when someone messes with her garden," said Evan hoping to get the topic focus away from how the skies did darken that day.
"I hear you, well I'll catch you later man," said Naruto before heading out to his next class.
"Later man," said Evan heading to his next class.

"Took you long enough to get here and what happened to your mustang," said Rogue as Naruto came pulling up in an Escalade with spinners. It looked like one of those cars that you would see in a music video because of pimped out it was.
"I decided to leave the mustang at home today, so I took the Escalade you like," said Naruto with a smirk as he hopped out of the car and came around the other side to greet Rogue.
"Never expected to see you in this type of car, but you are just full of surprises," said Rogue with a smirk of her own.
"You know me, I like to keep people guessing. Hop on in and I'll show you how smooth it rides," said Naruto as he opened the door for Rogue.
"You know I can get the door myself," said Rogue as she got into the car and got comfortable.
"I know, but then I wouldn't get to hear you tell me that you are strong individual woman that can do things herself, if I let you get the door yourself," said Naruto cheekily
"Smartass," said Rogue with a small smile.
"You know you love my ass," said Naruto with a wink causing her to blush heavily. He then hopped into the driver's seat and started the car up before heading off towards the Xavier Institute.
"So Rogue, how have you been lately. I heard that you were having nightmares last week from Evan," said Naruto as he drove to the Institute.
"Yeah, they were nothing to worry about though," said Rogue.
"If you say so, I tend to have some pretty bad nightmares myself," said Naruto with a haunted look in his eyes. Rogue saw the look in his eyes and wondered what had happened to him in the past that made him get that look in his eyes.
"What kind of nightmares do you have?" asked Rogue curious.
"I dream about there being no ramen in the world," said Naruto shivering at the thought and causing Rogue to slap him in the back of his head.
"You're such a loser," said Rogue turning to look out the window so he wouldn't see her smile.
"Yeah, must be such a curse to have a loser like you as much as I do," said Naruto with a smile as he watched the rode.
'Did he just admit to liking me?' wondered Rogue with a small blush.
Break
"Naruto, Naruto!" yelled Rogue angrily.
"Yo," said Naruto shooting awake.
"You are supposed to be helping me study, but all you have done is play games and sleep," said Rogue glaring at Naruto.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I obviously didn't get enough sleep during school today that is why I keep falling asleep," said Naruto seriously, as he stretched. Rogue lost all her anger as she watched Naruto stretch his arms and she got a good look at his well chiseled chest and arms.
"Ok, I think I'm ready to study," said Naruto with a smirk.
'Yeah, but I'm not after watching you stretch,' thought Rogue with a sigh.
"Hey Rogue, you there," asked Kitty coming into their room to find Naruto sitting on her bed while Rogue was on her own bed.
"Hey Kitty," said Rogue with a smirk as she moved to sit down next to Naruto.
"Hey Kitty, haven't seen you all day," said Naruto smiling at her and pretending like he didn't notice what Rogue was doing behind him.
"Hey Naruto, what are you doing in my room?" asked Kitty as she slowly walked into the room.
"I came over to help Rogue study for the finals, come have a seat," said Naruto before scooting over to make some room. Kitty didn't need to be told twice and quickly to a seat next to Naruto while glaring at Rogue over his shoulder.
"Rogue would never waste her time studying," said Kitty turning to look at Naruto with a dazzling smile.
"I would if I had the right motivation," said Rogue as she leaned on Naruto's shoulder.
"Grrr," growled Kitty glaring daggers at Rogue.
"Um girls, why are you two looking at each other like that?" asked Naruto looking back and forth between the girls. They just snapped back to in reality as they remembered Naruto was their and turned away with a small blush on each of their faces.
"So where have you been all day Kitty?" asked Naruto curiously.
"Oh, I was with Professor Logan and Kurt, we had to do some things around the mansion," lied Kitty.
"Oh ok, that's cool. Well Rogue I had better go now since Professor Logan is back and he will just start to yell at me if he finds out I have been in your room this whole time," said Naruto getting up to leave.
"Yeah, he doesn't seem to trust you at all," said Rogue with a frown.
"None of the professors seem to trust you at all," said Kitty with a thoughtful expression.
"What can I say, they think I am some type of hooligan," said Naruto with a shrug.
"Anyway, I'll see you both later," said Naruto waving goodbye to Kitty and Rogue.
"You better not have tried anything with him, while I was gone," said Kitty glaring at Rogue.
"What will you do, if I did do anything?" asked Rogue with a smirk.
"I am so not going to talk to you anymore," said Kitty crossing her arms across her chest.
"That is fine with me," said Rogue as she left the room and leaving behind a hurt Kitty.

"This your car boy?" asked Logan as Naruto came out of the mansion.
"Yeah, you like it?" replied Naruto as he unlocked the doors.
"I don't like you hanging around here, so if I find out you hurt either of the girls, I will make you wish you were never born," threatened Logan as he glared at Naruto.
"That's ok bub, I'm not too fond of you either," replied Naruto with a smirk as he got into the driver's seat.
"I got my eye on you boy," said Logan.
"I'll try not to bend over to much then, might be too risky with you watching me and all," laughed Naruto as he took off. Logan just growled before he headed to the danger room to pound on some machines.

"Hey man, that was a nice move you just busted right there," said Naruto as Evan came out of the pipes.
"Yeah man, I have been working on that one for awhile," said Evan as he took a seat next to Naruto.
"Hey, what is the city like?" asked Naruto randomly.
"Random much man," said Evan with a smirk.
"I'm just curious, I never lived in a city before," said Naruto honestly.
"Much different then it is down here man," said Evan.
"I'm thinking of going up to New York City for the summer," said Naruto causing Evan to look at Naruto in surprise.
"That's going to make two girls that I live with very unhappy," said Evan with a smirk.
"Yeah, tell the truth man I wanted to spend the summer here so I could spend time with both of them, but I don't know," said Naruto.
"You like them both don't you?" asked Evan.
"Yeah," said Naruto with a smirk.
'At least you chose some mates that aren't completely weak,' said Kyuubi.
'Meh, you still there fox,' replied Naruto with a grin. Kyuubi just growled at Naruto in annoyance before going back to sleep.
"All I know is man, is that you better be careful around those two because they family and no matter how good a friend you are, if you hurt them, I will be one of the people to hunt you down," said Evan seriously.
"Yeah I know, Logan already sent me the memo," said Naruto with a smirk.
"Alright man, I'm going to hit the pipe a few more times before I head out," said Evan before grabbing his board and heading over to the pipes. Naruto just stayed sitting on the bench as someone else came and sat besides him.
"Hey Kitty, what's up?" asked Naruto turning to look at the surprised girl.
"How did you know it was me?" asked Kitty curiously.
"You're the only girl I know that wears wildflower perfume," said Naruto with a smirk that caused Kitty to blush.
"Yeah, yeah you think you know so much, but one of these days I'm going to do something that surprises you," said Kitty mustering up her own smirk.
"I will gladly wait for that day," said Naruto before he turned to look up at the clouds.
"Why didn't you tell me you liked to skateboard?" asked Kitty.
"I don't know, it just never came up I guess," said Naruto.
"You any good?" asked Kitty.
"I'm ok, but I mainly just do it for fun and to kill time. Kind of like how you love to go to the mall so much," replied Naruto with a smirk.
"Hey!" yelled Kitty as she slapped Naruto lightly on the arm and tried to hide her small blush.
"You want to get out of here and head to a movie?" asked Naruto looking directly in Kitty's eyes.
"Yes," shouted Kitty before regaining her composure.
"I mean like yeah, I would like that," said Kitty with a huge smile.
"Alright, let's head out then," said Naruto standing up and offering his hand to Kitty. Kitty just smiled gratefully and took his hand as they headed off to Naruto's car.
"Can I drive?" asked Kitty giving Naruto the puppy-eye no jutsu.
"You know giving me that look is so unfair," said Naruto as he handed Kitty the keys to his Escalade.
"Yes, you're the best," said Kitty before giving Naruto a kiss on the cheek and running over to the driver's side. Naruto just smirked before putting his board in the backseat then climbing in the passenger side.
