Naruto met his mentor in the danger room ready to help train the X-Men how to fight ninja like the Akatsuki. Kurt, Storm, Evan, Bobby, Kitty, Hank, Rogue, Scott, and Jean were present for the training.

The X-Men were lined along the wall all around Jiraiya and Naruto who stood ready in the center.

"Begin!" the Professor said.

The X-Men attacked with their mission in mind, to restrain the two ninja.

Naruto shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The room filled with Naruto's clones and everyone turned their attention to fight the clones. Cyclops fired his rays taking out large chunks of the clones. Jean flew above him raising him up and out of the range of the clones until they began jumping up at them. Jean had a shield around them. Cyclops continued to fire at the groups of clones around each X-Man.

Ice Man was on his ice and sliding around freezing any clone in sight. Spyke followed on his skateboard taking out clone after clone and even creating a few pin cushions out of some of them.

Shuriken and Kunai were flying everywhere in the room while Shadowcat stood where she was and yawned as clones attacked and fell through her. Moving into action she began to take them out one by one.

Beast was knocking clones down apologizing as he did so. He hadn't really wanted to be a part of the exercise, but knew that it was important to be able to know how to fight a ninja.

Nightcrawler was teleporting with lumps of clones who had piled on him and he dropped them from higher point's teleporting back down to the ground to grab more.

Storm brewed up a storm flinging lightning at more of the shadow clones carefully aiming away from any X-Men.

Rogue was using her hand to hand combat destroying many clones with carefully timed punches and sometimes touching skin to skin to drain the clones.

Soon the shadow clones were completely swept aside and they were all facing Jiraiya and Naruto once more. The group split into two teams, each taking a ninja.

Storm, Ice man, Nightcrawler, and Shadowcat took on Jiraiya and Spyke, Beast, Rogue, Cyclops, and Jean took on Naruto.

Jiraiya attacked his four opponents using Taijutsu to test them physically. Storm was in the air as well as Ice man, so they weren't attacked this way until Jiraiya leaped up onto Ice man's ice path and he used his chakra to keep himself from sliding. Ice man was knocked back off of his ice from a punch to the gut.

Nightcrawler teleported over to Ice man and brought him to a safer place while he recovered from the hit. Jiraiya leaped up to Storm and almost managed to get her out of the air, but came short when she flew higher. Shadowcat took up a position next to Nightcrawler in front of Ice man blocking any shuriken or kunai flung in their direction. Jiraiya had started throwing the projectiles at each of them. They gaped as each projectile they blocked lodged itself in the floor or wall.

Naruto was blocking attacks from all over. Spyke was shooting spikes out of his body attempting to capture Naruto by pinning him. Cyclops was firing his eyes at Naruto trying to hit him as he raced around them, hitting everyone with punches and kicks. He even flung shuriken at them and used his kunai for blocking except for the occasional kunai with a paper bomb attached. Jean was blocking most of Naruto's attacks with her Telekinetic shields. Rogue was trying to get close enough to knock him out with her powers and wasn't having much luck. Spyke had now resorted to his bone staff which he hit Naruto with stopping him and throwing him backwards towards Cyclops who fired off a ray. Naruto placed his right hand over his left and formed his red and blue Rasengan which he aimed at Jean who Cyclops had launched him towards. Jean put up another shield blocking the attack before he hit her. When his Rasengan disappeared he quickly leaped up using his speed and agility to confuse his opponents on where he was.

"Above you!" Cyclops shouted at Spyke.

Spyke looked up and found Naruto a few inches above him a kunai in hand. He landed behind Spyke pressing the kunai into the small of his back. Spyke tensed, he could feel the sharp point and sprouted spikes that flew everywhere causing Naruto to jump back. Cyclops took the opportunity and fired another ray at Naruto blasting him into Jiraiya's battle. Jiraiya glanced at him and they were both piled on top of by the mutants and held down. The two ninjas struggled to be released, but the X-Men were unweilding and kept their hands apart, so they could not form any jutsus. Jiraiya stopped and looked around at the group and smiled.

"Very good," he congratulated the team. "We don't have the same jutsu as Akatsuki, but I think you're ready for fighting against ninja in battle now. Just remember, your policy for not killing doesn't apply in a battle against ninjas. They'll try and hit you with a fatal blow to keep you down and out of their way. Remember that."

The X-Men all nodded and let the two Konoha ninjas up. Naruto and Jiraiya both brushed themselves off and Naruto's features all went back to normal.

"I agree with Jiraiya, that wasn't half bad," Naruto complimented.

The Danger Room door opened and the Professor wheeled in joining the conversation. "Well done X-Men. We'll be ready for the Akatsuki next time they attack. Anything you want to say?"

"Yeah actually," Naruto said, "Beast, stop apologizing. I think I had 50 clones come back with your apology; it can be quite the headache."

"My apologies, Naruto," Beast said in return.

Naruto shook his head and his tails and ears flicked in frustration. Jiraiya continued to say, "When Logan gets back, I'd like to send two of you at a time to Konoha for you to all get experience fighting other ninja besides us. Who would like to go first?"

Cyclops and Jean volunteered to go first.

"Good, that's settled, then you can all go," Charles dismissed.


Logan and Gamakichi appeared in the forest where they could see the crater and the Cliffside with the 5 Hokage's faces. Logan looked at the crater and sniffed.

"Clay did this?" he asked.

"Clay mixed with a huge amount of chakra. This is the work of an Akatsuki member by the name of Deidara. Naruto has already faced him a couple times."

"So the village was blown into a crater. That's tough luck," Logan said.

"We always survive even if our homes don't," Gamakichi stated. "Come on the village is camped over this way. I just thought you would want to see how destructive the Akatsuki are."

Logan grunted and began to move farther into the forest with Gamakichi leading the way. They were coming up to the sentries' positions when Gamakichi stopped.

"What's wrong toad?" Logan asked.

Gamakichi was looking around confused, "There's supposed to be a sentry here, unless they moved camp."

Logan sniffed, "We're not alone. That's for sure."

He looked up as a pale figure dropped onto him from above. Logan unsheathed his claws ready for battle. The pale figure darted around him and ended behind him with one of Logan's arms behind his back in an uncomfortable position.

"Who are you?" the figure demanded.

Gamakichi smiled when he realized who the person was in the dim light. "Good to see you Neji. Relax he's a friend."

Neji looked up at Gamakichi, "Good morning Gamakichi. Is this guy with you?"

"Good morning and yes he is," Gamakichi replied.

Neji let go of Logan and stepped back. "Well then, I take it you're taking him to camp to talk to the Hokage?"

Gamakichi nodded and began walking on, "Do you know where She is in camp?"

"She's on patrol at the moment, but she should be back soon," Neji informed them.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, thanks Bub," Logan snarled.

Neji looked at Logan and turned to Gamakichi.

"He's always that way," Gamakichi whispered.

Logan growled, "I can hear you, toad."

"Heh heh."

Logan and Gamakichi left Neji to go into the camp. Gamakichi asked around and found Kakashi and Yamamoto eating food with some other ninjas.

"Hello Kakashi. Yamamoto," Gamakichi greeted.

"Hello Gamakichi," Kakashi greeted. "This is one of the X-Men I take it."

Logan said sitting down, "Yes, I'm Logan and yes I'm part of the X-Men as you guessed."

"That's Kakashi and I'm Yamamoto. How's Naruto doing?" Yamamoto asked.

"He and Jiraiya were going to take on the X-Men in the Danger Room today for training sometime after we left," Gamakichi replied.

"Naruto's a good kid and has a great amount of determination," Logan answered.

Kakashi grinned, "I should hope so. He was quite the trouble maker before he became a ninja, but he's come a long way since that point and learned to use his energy for more useful things than pranks on the village."

"he's also caused us many headaches along that way too," Yamamoto added, "and I only started working with him just recently."

Logan chuckled, "he can be a handful at times, especially when he sneaks out of his room when he should be resting."

"Has he done that already?" Kakashi asked.

"Yep, just this morning actually," Logan answered.

Kakashi smiled shaking his head, "Why am I not surprised?"

Logan raised an eyebrow, "Does he do that all the time?"

Yamamoto nodded, "Because he is such a fast healer due to his hosting the Kyuubi, he tends to get restless after a while and will do stupid things even when he isn't at his best and gets bored with lying around."

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll burn it off while fighting the team in training," Logan assured them.

"That's good news," Yamamoto sighed.

Kakashi looked over Logan's shoulder. "Tsunade's back," he pointed out a group of ninja coming near them.

"Hey Tsunade!" Kakashi called out.

Tsunade turned to the group dismissing them and came over plopping herself down in their little circle.

"Anything happen while I was out?" she asked.

Kakashi shook his head, "Nothing except Gamakichi came back with Logan."

Tsunade turned to Logan and greeted him, "Welcome to what's left of the Hidden Village in the leaves Konohagakure. I'm the Hokage, Tsunade. Come we'll talk in my tent."

They left for her tent and settled themselves inside it. Tsunade dispatched two ANBU before sitting down in the tent as well.

"So you're Logan and may we know what you're mutant power is?"

Logan unsheathed his claws allowing them a full view of the blades and then he lightly ran one along his arm to show his regeneration.

"Wow, interesting. I would say if it came to a fight against Itachi and Kisame, you would be best against Kisame. You're healing abilities would prevent his sword from doing much damage to you and your claws would do damage to him whenever you hit him. What other mutant powers does your team have?"

"We have a variety of powers and I'd rather not say in case there's anyone hiding nearby who is able to hear us. I've been in warzones before and you don't want to vocalize a lot of hidden things," Logan answered.

"So I take it everyone has different abilities from everyone else?" Kakashi asked.

Logan nodded, "There are some who have similar abilities, but we do know of one who was genetically altered with my DNA. Only problem is, we don't know where she this moment in time."

An ANBU appeared among them.

"Report," Tsunade commanded.

"Hokage, we caught and intruder at the southern edge of the camp," the ANBU reported.

"Sound ninja spy?"

"Actually, we're not sure. She doesn't know where she is or so she claims. She was also able to perform some jutsu that gave her blades that came out of her hands and feet."

Logan looked up slightly curious now at the description. "Does she have straight brown hair and eyes?"

The ANBU looked to Tsunade who nodded.

"Yes. Do you know her?" the ANBU asked.

"Can we go see this person? I would say yes, but I have no idea how in the world she would have gotten here," Logan said.

Tsunade nodded again and the ANBU led the way to the southern edge. They turned at the end of a tent and Logan saw the familiar face of his genetic clone X-23. Two more ANBU were applying a water jutsu that held her in water like bonds.

"Logan?" she started in surprise.

"Hey, long time no see. How did you get here?" he asked.

"How should I know? I was sitting on a log when all of a sudden I was in a forest clearing unable to figure out where I was. Where are we anyway?"

Tsunade nodded at the ANBU to disperse the jutsu holding the mutant. The water disappeared and Laura glared at the two ninja like they were offensive bugs.

"We're in a different dimension," Logan answered.

"What! How in hell did I get here then?" she asked.

Logan shrugged, "How should I know? Come on, I'll take you back with me."

She humphed and muttered something under her breath and folded her arms in stubbornness. Logan grumbled too his eyes rolling. Tsunade watched the two amused at how much they were alike in personality.

"Well I'll send Kakashi with you to see everyone's abilities, so that you don't feel as though you're giving the enemy any information," Tsunade said.

He grunted in acknowledgement, "You coming, kid?"

"Of course. And stop calling me kid!"

"Gamakichi if you would," Tsunade gestured at his passengers.

"Just place a hand on my back," Gamakichi instructed Kakashi and Laura.

The three did as instructed and they disappeared leaving smoke in their place.


Naruto was wandering about bored and unable to find anyone to spar with.

I'm going to go soft if I don't train.

You're already soft after three days in bed, the Kyuubi said smirking.

Hey, that's not my fault! And the training earlier wasn't that bad!

Yeah it is your fault for letting me take over.

Well, yeah, but it's not as if I had much other choice.

Well you could have retreated and asked the X-Men for backup during the fight.

Oh yeah, I guess I could have, but it's not as if they would have been much help. I mean they're finally in fighting shape for fighting ninja now unlike before.

They still would have been able to help out before if you had let them.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Gamakichi is back.

Huh? How can you tell?

I'm using our nose, dimwit.

Hey! I wonder what news there is from Konoha.

Well don't just stand there. Go find out or do I need to take over again?

Naruto ignored the last comment and headed for the front entryway where he could meet Gamakichi. Naruto came to the entryway and heard Logan's voice, but then he also heard another voice that he recognized.

"Is that Kakashi sensei?" Naruto wondered aloud.

He turned the corner and saw Kakashi, Logan, Gamakichi, and someone else he didn't recognize who seemed an awful lot like Logan in nature.

"Kakashi sensei! Hey, Good to see you!" Naruto greeted enthusiastically.

"Hello Naruto. I hear you've been causing trouble again," Kakashi mock scolded.

"You know how I am! You can't keep me in bed for three days when I'm fine on the second!" Naruto protested.

Kakashi, Logan, and Gamakichi chuckled. Naruto glared at the three and threatened, "Do you want to meet the Kyuubi? Cause he's not appreciating his Host being laughed at."

Hey! Why are you bringing me into this? This is all because of your actions, so take responsibility for them.

"Oh shut up, Kyuubi," Naruto retorted.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "I knew you were getting along with the Kyuubi now, but I didn't realize how well."

"Oh yeah, you won't recognize me after all of the training I put in with the Kyuubi and Jiraiya," Naruto boasted smugly.

"Well, then I'll have to be in on your next training session, although I already don't recognize you with your physical changes," Kakashi replied.

"Oh yeah, I never really notice them anymore. They just became a part of me," Naruto smiled. "Oh, Hi there," Naruto waved at the girl. "I'm Naruto."

The girl tightened her folded arms and didn't respond. Logan sighed and introduced her, "This is Laura. Laura this is Naruto."

"Yeah, whatever," Laura said.

"Uh, nice to meet you," Naruto said.

Laura left them standing there and went outside. Logan watched her and when she sat down on the steps he let out a breath of relief.

"What's her problem?" Naruto asked.

Logan turned to him, "She's had a troubled past. The only reason she has my DNA was to create a weapon."

Naruto waited for more, but Logan left it at that.

You've had a troubled past too, maybe you can help her, the Kyuubi suggested.

That's what I was thinking too. We're similar in that we were both made to be weapons.

Naruto began to walk around them when Logan stopped him. "Just to warn you, she is extremely temperamental, so watch your tongue. Okay?"

"Sure thing, Logan, you can count on me," Naruto gave him a reassuring smile and walked past them outside over to were Laura was sitting.

Naruto sat down beside her and looked up at the sky before saying, "So you were created to be a weapon too, huh?"

"What do you care?" she snapped.

"I understand what you went through," Naruto said gently. "My village despised me because of the fact I carried around the Kyuubi inside my body. They hated me for it, but I had no choice in the matter of the Kyuubi being sealed inside me, so I endured the pain and made up for it by becoming friends with others."

Laura was now looking at him in interest. "You were created as a weapon too?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, when the Kyuubi attacked my village the day I was born. The fourth Hokage died sealing it inside me and many of the village's elders view me only as a weapon to be used when needed."

Laura was looking down at her feet now, uncertain of how to respond to Naruto who had just told her about his pain. "I was forced Logan's DNA in a tank. I had no choice and then they had me fighting in simulations every day. I wasn't allowed to do anything except fight and do crazy things for experiments. I ran away one day hoping that one day I could go back and kill the person who had made me what I am, Hydra. I did kill her in the end, but I'm not sure what to do with my life now."

"Why not stay here? Stay here and help others. I've been training with the X-Men and I have to say I've learned a few moves here and there. They do training sessions and classes, but you don't have to do them all day to the brink of exhaustion. You do them for an allotted period of time."

"Do you think they would welcome me here after what I did to them the first time we met?" Laura asked.

"I believe they've already forgiven you," Naruto answered.

Wise guy now huh?

Shut up.

Laura mulled things over and smiled, "I guess I could give it a try."

Naruto smiled back, "That's all the X-Men ever asked of you."

Naruto held out his hand as he stood up and she took it and was pulled up. The two walked inside together.
