Naruto waited nervously as the Kyuubi slowly came into his body and mind taking control of his body. He felt a strange drifting sensation as the Kyuubi took full control and tested his limbs and muscles.

He felt like he was floating away connected to the world only in his subconscious and even that was fading away into darkness…

Naruto, can you hear me? Naruto?

Who's…there?

It's done Naruto, although your body changed.

Changed?...What is that…supposed…to mean?...Wait…I was in a…battle and…I let the Kyuubi…take over…to finish…the fight.

Yes, it's time to wake up now, Naruto. Also I take back what I said before. You're not such a worthless host after all.

Naruto opened his eyes in surprise, Was that my imagination???

No.

…

Wake up. The mutants have helped your body to recover along with my strength, but now you need to open your eyes and take back control over your body.

Yeah. I'll do that.

What happened to cause this???

Naruto began to hear voices as he slowly came to consciousness.

"Is he okay?"

"Who knows, although what's with the…?"

"Shhh, he's opening his eyes."

Naruto opened his eyes to see the lights of the infirmary above him once again and anxious faces peering down at him. He identified the faces as the X-Men.

"All right everyone. Give him some space," Beast called to those huddled around him.

Beast leaned over and turned on a flashlight that he shined into Naruto's left eye, then his right. Turning it off he placed a hand on Naruto's forehead and removed it after a couple of seconds.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Like I was hit with multiple Rasengan's in a matter of a few seconds," Naruto joked.

Beast chuckled remembering him shouting Rasengan when he had attacked with a ball of blue colored energy in his right hand.

"Trying lifting your arms first," he instructed.

Naruto moved his head to the side to look at his right arm and slowly lifted it regaining the control of his own body after relinquishing control to the Kyuubi. His arm trembled with the effort it took and he frowned in frustration. His right arm up somewhat he tried to lift his left arm as well, but found the effort to be too much and he let them flop back down next to him in exhaustion.

Damn, what did you do?

Well, I think taking control of your body strained it to its limits and you've also been unconscious for two weeks since the battle. I explained to them that I was the Kyuubi and that I was having difficulty holding you away from death, so they took us here and when I receded back inside the seal I kept you alive while they helped me heal your body. Your muscles will most likely be weak though. You have a lot of training ahead of you in order to get back in shape.

Don't I always?

Heh, you got a point there.

"Would you like to talk to the Professor about the battle and get some fresh air?" Beast asked.

"Sounds good, although I don't think I can manage to walk even a few feet at the moment," Naruto commented.

"Don't worry I'll put you in a wheelchair. That way you can continue to rest."

When Beast had placed Naruto in the wheelchair and adjusted him into a comfortable position they set off for a talk with the Professor. He took him up in the elevator and then wheeled him out into the restored entryway and towards the doors to wheel him outside.

Naruto grimaced at the memory of what he did to the room and fountain. "Sorry, about the damage. I hope it wasn't too much of a trouble to fix everything."

"No trouble at all. Remember Naruto. This is a home for mutants to learn to control their powers. This happens a lot more than you think," Beast reminded.

"Oh, yeah. Forgot about that…" he saw someone in the windows in the doors that looked exactly like him except the person had…red fox ears with white tips at the end, in the middle of the blonde hair and nine red tails with white tips, hanging limply next him on either side of the wheelchair.

"Naruto?" beast asked somewhat anxious that Naruto had pushed himself too far.

"Hold on Beast."

He studied the window and then reached up with one weak arm to his head and Beast sighed. Taking his hand Beast guided it to the ears. Naruto placed his hand on the ears, they were soft and silky and somewhat pointy. He let his arm drop slowly and reached down to find a tail. He turned his head to look down and saw the tails; placing his hand on one he confirmed it was real.

"What's happened to…" It dawned on him. The Kyuubi had said, It's done Naruto, although your body changed.

Kyuubi, did you mean this when you said my body had changed???

Yes.

Beast placed a hand on his shoulder, "Naruto? Are you all right?"

"Yeah…Yeah…Let's go…talk to the Professor now," Naruto said still in shock at the changes in his body.

Beast conceded and wheeled Naruto outside and wheeled him over to the Professor who was talking with Logan, Storm, and Gamakichi while they supervised a game of baseball. Logan tapped Charles on the shoulder and pointed in their direction.

Gamakichi noticed the gesture and looked as well. At the sight of Naruto his face lit up with a large smile.

"Naruto!" Gamakichi called.

"Good afternoon, Naruto. Storm would you go and get Naruto something to eat while we talk?"

"Just broth I take it?" she inquired.

Beast answered, "Yes. We can't give him anything solid for about a week."

Naruto hearing food had gotten a hopeful look on his face quickly squashed by the mention of only broth for a week. Storm giggled before leaving them.

"How are you Naruto?" Gamakichi asked.

"Weak and a little confused, but otherwise I think I'm fine," Naruto replied.

"Did he see them?" Charles asked.

Beast nodded silently from behind Naruto, "In the windows on the way out."

"Well as you can see Naruto. There have been some physical changes that appeared after you allowed the Kyuubi to control your body for the fight."

"Was it because I let it do that or was it the result of going up to all nine tails for the first time?"

"Neither. Either one of them could have been the trigger for this change. We don't know about that. What we do know is that you have gained the X gene, in other words, you're a mutant, Naruto," Charles explained.

A mutant?!

Hey I told you your body had changed! I didn't specify whether it was physical, biological, or both.

Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath, releasing it slowly. So what is my mutant power?

I'm not entirely sure yet, although it may just be your physical change.

"If I'm a mutant…then what is my so called power?"

"That's the thing. We're not entirely sure if there is anything beyond your physical appearance," Logan told him.

Storm walked up to them from behind with warm broth in a cup with a straw. She placed the cup in front of his face.

"Drink some now. Not too much, only a small sip. We don't want you getting sick after what you've gone through," she said good-naturedly.

Naruto obliged and sipped broth out of the cup. The taste didn't repulse him too much which was a good thing since he wasn't looking forward to surviving on chicken broth for the next week.

"So what happened after the Kyuubi took over? It wouldn't tell me when I asked."

"That's probably because it wasn't sure what to tell you," Charles frowned. "It's hard to explain as when we got here you had just switched and we thought that you were gone forever and we were unsure of what to do until the Kyuubi continued to attack Kisame and Itachi. I reached out with my telepathy to see if I could reason with it and found that it was quite willing to stay on our side as it's host, you, would have better chances staying alive than with the Akatsuki. We talked while it attacked them and explained a plan it had come up with after seeing how many of us were there and what powers we each had. When that was done we executed the plan and somehow drove the Akatsuki back. We still don't know where they are, but at least they haven't come back to finish us off. I think we injured them so badly that they couldn't even chance more injuries by coming back here. Especially you, the Kyuubi had enhanced your claws and teeth to sharp points that were stained red even when we washed you off. You caused the two so much pain with the cuts you gave them," Charles told the story in a short manner.

Naruto let his head fall back, "Wow. I guess I've learned to control the Kyuubi's chakra inside of me to its maximum."

Do you think that we'll ever have to do that again?

I would advise caution. If possible use my chakra up to the ninth tail, but consult with me if you think it is safe to switch controls as it is possible you could die or I could lose my hold on you and you'd be lost forever.

Very well. "Gamakichi, has there been any further progress in how to bring me back to Konoha?"

"No, not that I've heard of since my last visit," he said.

Naruto looked downcast at that news, but brightened just as quickly. "Well that means I can recover my strength and learn how to control any mutant powers I've acquired."

"There's the Naruto I know," Gamakichi said and laughed.

Naruto laughed with him and the four mutant adults joined in.

He's right you know. I was worried for a second that your spirit had left you when I brought you back.

That won't happen.

"Come on Naruto. Let's get you into a real bed to rest up and recover. Before we leave take another sip of the broth," Beast instructed.

Storm held the straw to his mouth and he drank another mouthful of the warm liquid. Beast took him back inside. When he was out of hearing range the Professor began the conversation again that had been interrupted when Naruto and Beast had come out.

"Well Gamakichi. I'm sure Konoha is fine and I believe you are right that we shouldn't tell Naruto just yet seeing as how weak he is at the moment. Especially if he is now a mutant, we need to figure out if he has any powers at all and how he can control them. First I think it's time we check up on Konoha," he said.

"I agree. I'm worried that they haven't sent a message with another ninja toad or dog. I'll go now and come back when I know what's going on." Gamakichi disappeared.

"What do you think he'll find?" Storm asked.

"Who knows. The village could be destroyed or is safe and recovering. The only way we can find out is if Gamakichi physically goes there himself," Logan answered.

Konoha:

Gamakichi arrived in Konoha with his eyes closed, afraid to see what he might find. He took a deep breath and slowly let it back out. He opened his eyes to take in the ground of the cliff side at his feet. He had appeared on the cliff side with the Hokage's faces engraved on it. He studied the ground for a moment longer fearing the worst of what could have happened to Konoha.

The sooner I get it over with the sooner I can leave.

He slowly looked up at the village and what surprised him was the fact that there wasn't a single house left in sight. Everything was gone leaving only the Hokage's faces etched into the cliff to watch over a crater where the village used to be.

My Gods, what happened to cause this?! Is it possible that anyone is in the evacuation tunnels inside the mountain?

He hopped onto third Hokage's face to the hidden door in his eye and he went inside taking care to watch for possible traps. He went through the tunnel to the gathering point that was a large cave in the middle of the tunnel system. No one was there, not a single person.

Did they leave? Was everyone killed? No, they can't have been otherwise the bodies would be here unless they were all caught in the blast that created the crater outside. I can't go back yet. If there's a chance that any are alive I need to find them. Where would Jeraiya or Tsunade lead the village to?

He came out of the tunnels onto the pathway leading to them and hopped down the rest of the way to the ground. He watched for any enemy fighters left behind to kill anyone who came to investigate the disappearance of a major hidden village. He caught some movement in his left eye, but identified it as a bird.

Wait, there are no birds like that around here… Sai?

"Sai?" he called out in the direction.

The bird hopped at the sound and flew over. As it came closer he confirmed the inky markings that Sai made for his ink jutsu. The bird flew back into the forest where it landed on a branch and waited with its head turned back over its shoulder and cocked to the side.

Gamakichi followed it into the forest depths. He stopped when the bird waited on the ground and he spotted Sai walking through the trees towards him with Yamato, Kakashi, and Jeraiya following.

"Gamakichi," Jiraiya greeted, "Good to see you're okay. How's Naruto?"

"We had a run in with Itachi and Kisame," Gamakichi declared.

Kakashi asked, "What happened?"

"We couldn't hold him off and then Naruto told us something that must have shocked everyone who heard him."

"What could cause that?" Jiraiya asked.

"The Kyuubi agreed to cooperate willingly with Naruto and help him fight both Akatsuki, though there were some side effects."

"I think we should go back to the camp and inform Tsunade of this," Yamato suggested.

Kakashi and Jiraiya nodded agreement and turned around to lead the way back. They moved swiftly through the trees to a camp site of tents and ninja rushing about trying to do everything possible. They went to an area cleared for the wounded were they found Sakura working alongside Tsunade to heal a ninja whose left side was completely burnt and blistering where there wasn't infection.

"What happened after I left?" Gamakichi asked in shock.

"When we last saw you we were attacked after our conversation had ended. The ninja of the leaf village were doing their best to protect the stragglers making their way to the tunnels to evacuate. We lost many brave and noble Nin that day. Anyway we fought long and hard for three days by which the invaders withdrew out of our range of attacks from the wall. We had our first decent rest that night after those long three days, but it was only for a brief time as when Dawn came they attacked once more and this time the Akatsuki weren't merely looking for Naruto they were attacking full force. The Akatsuki member, Deidara, had been circling above us without our knowledge and allowed the forces to clear out in thirty seconds. We were confused as to why they pulled out until we saw an enormous bomb falling into the village above us. We managed to get most of the people out, but we didn't escape with few casualties or injured. The bomb blew the village into ashes as soon as it hit. When the bomb went off we were all close enough to feel the scorching heat upon our skin and many of us ended up like him," Jiraiya explained.

"So why did you move out here if the Sound ninja and Akatsuki are out here?"

Yamamoto explained, "When the invaders figured out the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki wasn't here, they decided to rid themselves of us with the clay bomb."

"Therefore we decided to stay close until everyone had healed from their burns with the help of the medical ninja we had and then leave Yamamoto and a squad of ninja to begin the reconstruction of Konoha while we take the villagers to safety," Kakashi added.

Gamakichi nodded as all the information processed within his mind, Konoha is destroyed, many are injured either from the fight or the explosion, and Naruto has become a mutant. Could this get any crazier?

Tsunade stood up when she finished with the man in front of her. Looking at the three men and Gamakichi she waved for them to follow. Sakura fell in behind as well knowing perfectly well there was news on Naruto. They made their way to a tent set up near the wounded. Gesturing everyone in she followed inside and they all sat down.

"What's the news?" she asked.

"Itachi and Kisame attacked us in the X-Men's home about two weeks ago and since I hadn't heard anything from Konoha I decided it was time to check," Gamakichi briefly explained.

"How is Naruto from that fight?" Tsunade asked.

"He woke up around noon today and is weak, but should recover in the next week or so. He did a lot of damage on the two Akatsuki and so I don't believe they'll be bothering us any time soon."

"How did the X-Men and Naruto defeat them?"

"Heh, here's the part you may not believe…Naruto talked to the Kyuubi about their situation and the Kyuubi willingly cooperated in the battle to fight them. Naruto went to all nine tails before he relinquished control to the Kyuubi only because he couldn't defeat his opponents and he decided to trust the Kyuubi not to take over his body while he allowed him out. There were side effects and not all of them are known to us yet," Gamakichi informed them.

Everyone had horrified expressions at the thought of Naruto with all nine tails and the thought that the Kyuubi could've taken over if he had had any other feelings at all.

Tsunade recovered her poise to ask, "What are the side effects from all this?"

"The known side effects are that Naruto now physically has red fox ears and all nine tails. The other known effect is that sometime in the battle something triggered a gene that the X-Men had and he can now be classified as a mutant. We believe that his new appearance is partially because of that gene and partially because of his choice to let the Kyuubi fight using his body and all of his chakra."

Sakura cut in before anyone could say anything, "So is he okay? Besides his change in appearance, does he mind?"

Gamakichi turned to her, "When he noticed the changes he was somewhat shocked but he's so weak at the moment that he really couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. He is only able to drink warm broth at the moment and he can barely move his body. He's going to have a long wait before he's back up to strength. I'm sure he'd be enlightened to hear of your concern Sakura."

She blushed at the thought. Excusing herself she said, "I'll just go tell the others what's happened."

"I think that's a good idea Sakura and if anyone has thoughts on how we can possibly get over there and back let me know," Tsunade requested.

"Sure thing," she said as she left the tent.

Sakura headed between tents to the makeshift practice area that they were near. She found the rest of her classmates all gathered there and either talking or sparring with each other. She walked over to the nearest group to her, Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata, and Choji. Choji was snacking on a bag of chips again while he listened to the group talk.

"Hey Sakura, anything new?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah Gamakichi came and told us that the Akatsuki had attacked Naruto about two weeks ago. He's been physically altered because of the fight," Sakura answered.

"What do you mean physically altered?" Neji asked.

"Apparently the nine tailed beast inside Naruto agreed to cooperate in the battle in order to win and Naruto went up to all nine tails on his fox cloak and to make matters worse he risked giving the Kyuubi control over his body. So he now has fox ears and nine fox tails on his persona."

Shikamaru sighed, "What a drag. So the Akatsuki attacked us as well as Naruto?"

"Seems that way," Kiba said.

"But is Naruto okay?" Hinata asked shyly.

"Yeah, apparently he only woke up today and is very weak and a little shocked at his personal appearance, but yeah he's okay overall. Of course that's not the only thing, that whole x gene I told you about that the X-Men have…well Naruto now has it and so they trying to find out whether Naruto has any special mutant power," Sakura informed. They all looked stunned at the information. "Oh and Tsunade wanted to know if any of you have any ideas as to how we can get to Naruto and back here."

They all thought for a moment. Shikamaru was the first to speak, "Gamakichi can travel to and from that world correct?" Sakura nodded. "So what if someone, say Jiraiya went with him when he left and then made his way to the other world."

"It's a possibility. I'm surprised no one's thought of that yet," Sakura commented.

"Well, weren't they looking to figure out what jutsu was used to teleport Naruto in the first place?" Kiba pointed out.

Sakura nodded again, "Yeah so they weren't thinking about a ninja toad they were consulting each other about possible jutsus used. Brilliant I'll go see if Gamakichi is still here."

She left the group to talk about other possibilities and made her way back to Tsunade's tent.

"Tsunade? Shikamaru had an idea," she opened the tent flap and entered sitting down near the entrance.

"Yes, what is it Sakura?" Tsunade asked.

"Shikamaru pointed out that if Gamakichi is able to traverse the dimensions maybe he could take a ninja with him?"

The three ninja's considered it. "Gamakichi, would you be willing to try it with Jiraiya?"

Gamakichi thought for a moment, "Yes, it's quite possible it could work out if Jiraiya were to try it. Seeing as he is the only other person to be able to summon a toad."

"Let's try it now. At least if I can get over there then Naruto will have a little more protection than he has at the moment," Jiraiya confirmed.

Tsunade nodded, "Then it's settled. You two will go over and help protect Naruto when you are sure that any mutant powers are under control then you may come back unless I have Kakashi send Pakkun with word that we need you."

"Right then, you ready Gamakichi or is there anything you still need to say?" Jiraiya asked.

"No, let's go."

Jiraiya placed a hand on Gamakichi's back and they both disappeared with a poof of smoke.

"Good Luck Jiraiya," Tsunade said.
