Naruto woke up bright and early the next morning feeling great and extremely restless from being kept inside for three days.

How about a walk if you're going to act like this?

Oh hush up. Just cause you're used to being cooped up doesn't mean I am.

Hey! You're not the one who's in a cage here. Another thing, meet some of the X-Men. You've seen them during their practice now go and introduce yourself and maybe train with them.

That sounds like fun. I think I'll do that.

Good.

Naruto pulled on an orange T-shirt and jeans he'd been given since his clothes had apparently gotten torn up in the battle. He didn't mind the shirt, but the jeans felt odd compared to his normal wear that was loose and easy to move in. He opened the windowed balcony doors and stepped out onto a small balcony connected to his room.

"This is a nice place," Naruto commented.

Yeah it is. Look to your left. There are some kids over there doing something with that white ball.

Sure, I'll go see if they want to train with me. Hold on!

What?

I almost forgot my leg pouch.

He went back inside and attached his leg patch onto him, then went back to the balcony. He climbed onto the balcony rail and hopped off with a nimble roll at the bottom to break his fall. Regaining his feet he ran forward towards the trees and leaped up to jump from branch to branch not stopping until he had reached a branch from where he could see the mutants unobserved before he came out to meet them.

It was the same group that had been in the Danger Room when Kisame and Itachi had attacked. They were playing a game of volleyball which perplexed Naruto.

What are they doing?

Training?

Doesn't look like training to me.

Well maybe they have a different method of training from ninjas.

It's a very strange training then.

Indeed it is. … Well?

Well what?

Well aren't you going to go introduce yourself properly instead of skulking here in the bushes spying on them?

I suppose.

Naruto jumped out of the tree's branches and walked over to sit on a chair and wait for the training to be done. Kurt who wasn't playing was sitting out on the other side of the court when he looked over and spotted Naruto and disappeared. He reappeared next him.

"Hallo Naruto," Kurt greeted.

"Uh… Kurt, right?"

"Ja. Did Dr. McCoy finally erlauben Sie Ihnen, sich zu bewegen?"

"Huh?"

"Did Dr. McCoy finally allow you to move around?"

"Nope. I told Pervy Sage I'd be better within three days, so here I am all better and I'm ready to start training. By the way, what kind of training is this?" Naruto asked and he pointed to the volleyball game.

Kurt laughed, "Wirklich Naruto, zis isn't training. It's a game called Volleyball. Zere are a lot of rules, but it's mainly, don't let ze ball hit ze ground on your side otherwise zat is ze opponent teams point, except you can only hit ze ball in two ways to get it over ze net or to another teammate who vill get the ball over for you."

"Sounds challenging," Naruto said, while Kurt nodded at his statement. "Can I try?"

"Uh I suppose, you may want to have one of ze others tell you all of ze rules and show you how to hit ze ball before hand," he suggested.

"Cool! So when is training?" Naruto asked eagerly.

"Not until vorher dinner. Is ze person you called 'Pervy Zage' Jiraiya?

Naruto nodded, "Trust me. He's probably trying to sneak into a girls bathing house right about now."

"Vell only problem with zat is, ve don't have bathing houses here."

"Really? So then how do you get clean?"

"Ve take a shower or bath in ze bathroom," Kurt explained.

"Oh."

This place is strange. I wonder how different this place really is.

Yeah. Are you going to start training me Kyuubi or are we going to do that in the Danger Room as well?

Yes. I'll be helping you in your training and refining points that Jiraiya gives you that will help you control my chakra.

Aaahhh. Man I really wanted to start training now.

What did I say before? Go meet some people will ya!

Fine

"So who is everyone?" Naruto asked.

"Zat over zere in ze red shades is Scott and ze girl next to him is Jean Grey, I zink you met her vhen she helped ze Prof in ze Danger Room, also ze one vith the vhite stripe in her hair is Rogue, she's also my half sister, Kitty is ze one vith ze pink shirt and ponytail, Spyke's on ze skateboard over zere," Kurt pointed out many people in the game and Spyke who went by on his skateboard.

The ball hit the ground on Kitty's and Rogue's side and Jean and Scott cheered.

"What happened?" Naruto exclaimed jumping up to his feet

Kurt laughed, "Relax Dude. Scott and Jean just won ze game."

"Oh," Naruto said.

Hehehe.

What are you laughing at?

You just got excited over nothing. Hehehe.

"Shut up!"

"Traurig? But vhat did I do?" Kurt asked.

"Oh. No, not you. Did I really say that aloud?" Naruto asked.

"Ja."

"Hehe, actually I was talking to the Kyuubi. It was making fun of me," Naruto explained.

Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Ze red glowy zing zat tried to take over you vhen ve first met is making fun of you?"

Naruto nodded, "The Kyuubi has been very talkative since we teamed up against the Akatsuki."

"Zat is strange," Kurt commented.

I'll show him strange!

Kyuubi take it easy! He doesn't know you as well as I do and I won't let you try and tear up one of the X-Men.

Humph, fine.

Good Kyuubi.

Naruto? Where are you? the Professor asked interrupting their conversation.

Outside talking with Kurt.

Stay there.

Sure.

"I think they discovered I'm up and about," Naruto told Kurt.

"Here comes Jiraiya."

Naruto turned around and sure enough Jiraiya was walking towards them.

"HEY PERVY SAGE!" Naruto shouted.

Jiraiya reached them before saying, "Naruto didn't I tell you to stop calling me that already?"

"Not that I recall…"

"Anyways, since you're up and about would you like to begin training as I'm sure that is why you snuck out of your room," Jiraiya said.

"I told you I'd be ready to go in three days," Naruto told him.

Jiraiya nodded, "And so you are, now let's get some energy out of you and see what you can do with both chakras. Tell the Kyuubi that I'd like to see what it can do with you."

"It already heard you. Whatever you tell me the Kyuubi hears," Naruto informed his mentor.

Jiraiya smiled, "That makes things much easier. Kurt would you like to join us?"

"Ja," Kurt said eagerly.

The three went inside and Jiraiya found the Professor to let him know they would be in the Danger Room.

"Do you want a battle simulation?" Charles asked.

"No, I want to see what side effects there are in Naruto's fighting skills since the last battle."

"Okay, I'll monitor you from above, I'm curious to see Naruto's fighting and possible mutant abilities."

The three went through the open door into the Danger Room.

"Whenever you're ready Naruto," Jiraiya invited.

You ready?

Of course I am! Here's my chakra.

Thanks.

Naruto could feel the Kyuubi's chakra mixing with his own and intermingling. His body was changing while the two chakras mixed. His nails were became long, sharp claws, his whiskers grew more pronounced and his eyes turned red with cat like slits for pupils. He could feel Jiraiya's eyes upon him and he waited until the two chakras were completely combined before starting the battle.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Twenty shadow clones appeared and attacked Jiraiya using Taijutsu. Jiraiya was busy defending himself that he didn't notice the shuriken and kunai coming at him until the last second. He moved out of the way avoiding the weapons. Naruto's shadow clones were relentless fighting with additional help coming from Naruto.

Naruto decided to try his Rasengan out and he summoned another shadow clone and was interrupted by the Kyuubi.

How about you try making it without a shadow clone.

You know I'm not able to do that.

Just do it, remember I'm also your teacher here.

Okay, if you say so.

Naruto shrugged and placed his left hand over his right and began to form the swirling ball of chakra. The Rasengan was now a red and blue ball of swirling energy that he took and ran forward towards Jiraiya.

"Rasengan!"

Jiraiya looked up and was surprised to see the red and blue mass of chakra intertwined. He dodged to the side and began another Taijutsu battle with Naruto each using a kunai and shuriken to take advantage of their opponent.

Kurt was with the Professor above the battle and marveled at the speeds and accuracy of each blow.

"Zis is amazing!" he exclaimed.

The Professor said, "Yes it is. I don't think any of us ever expected to meet ninja or at least ninja as strange as these two."

"And ve are lernen, gegen zu kämpfen zis kind of battle vith zose two ninja zat Jiraiya called Akatsuki?"

"That is correct," the Professor confirmed.

Logan came into the control room. "What's going on in here?"

"Naruto and Jiraiya seem to be having fun," Charles commented.

Logan looked out the window, "I see. I think Naruto's gotten some more physical attributes."

"Yes, I believe he mixed his chakra with the Kyuubi's and that is the result of Naruto's red eyes and claws," Charles observed.

Naruto was getting the upper hand in their battle and created more shadow clones that tackled Jiraiya and distracted him long enough for Naruto to get into the fray and bring Jiraiya down with a kunai at his throat and shadow clones holding his arms and legs down. Jiraiya struggled to get back up, but found himself sufficiently pinned to the ground.

Jiraiya began to laugh, "Very good Naruto! That's the best I've seen you ever fight and with your chakra mixed with the Kyuubi's."

Yes, I agree with Jiraiya, you did excellent.

Wow, that was what I needed. Just a good training session.

"Can I help you out with the X-Men today?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya smiled, "I don't see why not. Now can I get up?"

"Ah, sorry!"

Naruto got off of Jiraiya and his clones disappeared. He helped Jiraiya to his feet.

"Come on, let's go make ourselves some Ramen. What do you say?" Jiraiya suggested.

"Sounds great!" Naruto bounded out of the Danger Room. His features were returning to normal as the Kyuubi's chakra seeped back out of his own. Kurt joined them as they came into the elevator to go back up to the main floor.

"Ramen!" Naruto cried when they reached the kitchen.

Kurt laughed, "Don't forget you have to make ze Ramen vorher you can eat it."

Naruto grumbled at the thought. "Man, where is Ichiraku when you need him!"

"Well he certainly isn't here," Jiraiya joked. That's for sure. That reminds me, I should summon Gamakichi and see if he has any news from Konoha.

"Who's Ichiraku?" Kurt asked.

Naruto answered crying, "He's only the best Ramen maker in Konohagakure!"

"Really? I'd love to try his Ramen sometime," Kurt said.

Jiraiya left the two boys as they went into the kitchen and he went down a side hall out of sight of the kitchen door. He created the hand signs of the summoning jutsu summoning Gamakichi. Gamakichi appeared in a puff of smoke in front of him.

"Hey Jiraiya, I have to admit that I thought I was being summoned by Naruto," Gamakichi greeted.

"Hehe, I bet you were. Listen I need to know what's going on in Konoha, also let them know that we haven't seen any sign of any other mutant abilities and Naruto and the Kyuubi are able to mix their chakras together to become more powerful. Think you can do all that without clueing Naruto in when you get back?"

"I think I can manage to sneak around Naruto. I'll meet you in the Professor's office an hour from now," Gamakichi said.

Jiraiya nodded, "Very well. I'll be there."

He went back down the hall to the kitchen joining them in making the Ramen and talking while eating their soup.

Gamakichi appeared in the forest surrounding the crater where Konohagakure used to stand. He took a quick look around from where he was to see if he could spot any ninja in the forest around him. He left without a trace in the direction of the Konoha's tents and villagers.

He showed himself to one of the sentries stationed around the tents.

"Is that you Gamakichi?" Tenten asked.

"Hey Tenten. Could you tell me where Tsunade is?"

She pointed over her shoulder, "Still helping with the wounded."

"Thanks. Bye," he went past her and into the campsite passing ninja working on training the younger ninjas of the village who were either newly made Genin or Academy Ninja who had yet to be a part of any sort of mission. He came upon the area where the injured ninja had been taken and were being healed.

He stopped on the edge of the area looking around for the Hokage. Spotting her he made his way carefully around injured ninja as well as the healers who were trying to heal as many of the ninja as possible and came to stand behind Tsunade and Sakura. Sakura looked up and gave him a tired smile, "Hello Gamakichi. It's good to see you again."

"You should take a break Sakura. You look exhausted."

"Thanks, I'm just tired from the fighting and then trying to save as many ninja as possible. I'll be fine."

"Sakura! There's another over here who needs his wounds cleaned and healed!" a medical ninja called from the side of a man bleeding from a wound in the side.

Sakura looked over, "Bye Gamakichi, I need to go and help them."

Sakura hurried off, Tsunade finished the jutsu she was performing on the ninja in front of her before she turned to talk with Gamakichi.

"I assume Jiraiya sent you?" she asked.

"Yes," he replied.

"Come I'll have someone bring Yamato and Kakashi to my tent to hear about Naruto."

She walked off with Gamakichi following. They went inside her tent and waited for Kakashi and Kakashi to arrive.

"What happened? I would've thought they would have stopped attacking when they figured out that Naruto isn't here."

"They did for a while, but of course they're still out there. We merely had a patrol run into a group of them and we had to send backup to get the survivors out of there. Fortunately we haven't had any Akatsuki members attacking us while we are weak," Tsunade explained.

Kakashi and Yamato walked in. "Sorry we're late," Kakashi apologized.

"Save it for the new Genin, Kakashi" Tsunade told him.

Yamato smiled and sat down pulling Kakashi down with him before he embarrassed himself even further.

"How's Naruto?" Yamamoto asked.

"He's fine and they haven't seen any sign of Naruto having any other mutant powers besides his ears and tails. He's also learned how to mix his chakras with the Kyuubi's; I'm guessing that is the result of the Kyuubi offering its assistance in Naruto's training," Gamakichi informed them.

"Good. He's still unaware of our situation I take it?"

"Yes. I'm meeting Jiraiya soon. Is there anything you want me to tell him?"

"Yes, tell him to make sure the X-Men are perfectly aware of how to fight ninjas. I'm not entirely sure where the Akatsuki have gone and I don't want any of us to find out the hard way." Both Kakashi and Yamato listened silently to this exchange. "Very well, go back and talk to Jiraiya and also I'd like to know if the X-Men can come through the dimensions. That way we may be able to get some of them over here where we can help train more of them and maybe if they have anyone with healing powers, some help with the injured. Dismissed," Tsunade said and left the tent heading back to the injured to help with the medical jutsus.

Kakashi and Yamato both said goodbye and left Gamakichi. He disappeared in another puff of smoke and reappeared in the Professor's office where he found Jiraiya, Logan, and the Professor talking.

"Ah, looks like Gamakichi's back," Charles gestured.

Jiraiya turned around to face Gamakichi, "How's their situation?"

"They still haven't been able to start rebuilding and the only attack was the one that a patrol stumbled upon and called for reinforcements. They are still healing people from that. Tsunade would like to know if it would be okay to see if someone from the X-Men is able to travel from here to Konoha and if they can then we can send two people at a time to work with some of our teachers to speed up progress and make sure they are able to fight ninja."

"I'll do it. At least if I'm injured in the process, I have a better chance of coming back alive," Logan said.

Charles agreed, "Yes, that makes sense. Logan you will go with Gamakichi and maybe you can meet Tsunade?"

"I think we can arrange that. It would be good if one of the X-Men were to meet the Hokage," Jiraiya said.

"Sounds good to me."

"That's settled then, is there anything else that Tsunade asked?"

"She would like to know if you have anyone with the powers to heal, to help with the multitude of injuries and she wanted to let you know that in the last attack, the Akatsuki weren't present, so we should keep an eye out for them," Gamakichi finished.

"So how does this work?" Logan asked.

"Just put your hand on my back and we'll be off."

Logan did so and they disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Hope Logan doesn't mind getting a little whoozy on the ride over," Jiraiya commented.

The Professor chuckled, "I believe he'll be fine."
