1Naruto meets X-Men Evolution

Chapter 1: A father's guilt, mother's pain and a new beginning

On a seemly normal night, everything was going fine for many in the Leaf Village. Some were sleeping, others heading home after a long day of work, while others were patrolling the city for anything out of the ordinary. Upon this particular night things were about to change for the people for at this moment the 4th Hokage was expecting his first born child which was to be delivered by his loving and wonderful wife. Many who knew the couple knew this was a happy occasion, well for the father anyway who wasn't the one in pain right now. Everything was going fine until....

*BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!*

"What was that?" A tired and exhausted Kushina said as she looked at her husband Minato who was thinking the same thing.

"I don't know, but judging from the sound of the boom, I'm going to be needed. I'm sorry my love but I must-," Minato was cut off as his wife screamed bloody murder when another contraction hit her and it hit her hard. And Minato knew this because his loving, yet strong wife was squeezing his hand very hard to try and ease her pain but only causing him pain.

"Minato you better not leave me, cause buster if the pain of what ever that was doesn't do you in, I WILL!!!!" to emphasize her point Kushina squeezed her husbands hand to the point you could her bones cracking. Before anything else could happen, an Anbu ninja should up in the room covered from head to toe in blood.

"Hokage-sama, a giant fox demon is destroying the village. Everything we throw at it is doing nothing. Please you are needed. All the civilians that weren't injured or badly injured are being taken to the safe houses, but you are needed Hokage-sama." The Anbu looked at his leader and saw that the pain in his eyes.

"I will be there as soon as I can, tell the others to hold off the fox as long as they can until I arrive. There is something that I must do first. You have your orders now GO!!!!" And just as quickly as he came, the Anbu was gone. Minato then looked at his wife and saw that she was panting harder than before.

"Minato honey I think our baby wants to enter the world now so now would be a good time to find Tsunade and tell her that its time." Minato nodded and went back into the hall to find Tsunade heading in there direction.

"It's time isn't it?" Tsunade knew that Kushina would have the baby any minute so she was prepared.

*Time skip 1 hour later*

"AGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" the little boy with a tuft of blonde hair on his head cried out in the world letting it know that he was here.

"Congratulations Hokage-sama, it's a healthy baby boy." Tsunade then handed the child over to his mother who was crying for after so long, she had finally received her gift of a child.

"Minato, shall we name him what we agreed months ago?" Kushina looked at her husband with a look of both joy and sorrow. For Kushina knew what her husband was going to do to save the village. He would perform a forbidden jutsu and seal the monster in their new born son.

"We will call him Naruto, like we planned. Do you hear that my son, you are Naruto Uzumaki Namikize of the Leaf Village. And my son, what I'm about to do I hope that you will forgive me, but this is the only way to stop this monster. Kushina are you ready to go?" Minato looked at his wife as she came out of the bathroom changed into her ninja outfit ready for anything.

"Yes, but I wish there was another way to stop this thing." Minato noticed the cracking in his wife's voice and knew that she was on the verge of tears. But he said nothing and lead his wife and son who was nestled in his arms towards the battle field.

Upon arriving both Minato and Kushina noticed the blood and carnage and the sight of many of their fellow shinobi had either fallen or were hanging on by a thread.

"Minato look ahead I can see it in the clearing." Kushina jumped next to her husband and took little Naruto while her husband did the hand signs for summoning Chief Toad. And within a huge puff of smoke, chief toad appeared carrying both his summoner and his wife and child who was sleeping through everything.

As they got a few feet close to the fox demon, Minato began to perform the hand signs when he was stopped by the former Third Hokage who raced to stop them from doing something stupid.

"Minato, Kushina please tell me you both weren't going to do what I think you were planning to do?" Saratobi noticed that neither one of them could look him in the face and just sighed.

"We're sorry, but it's the only way to stop this monster. Even if Kushina and I refused to accept it. This monster has to be stopped and now." Saratobi just nodded and watched as the Fourth performed the hand signs with a heavy heart knowing the life his son would have after this.

And almost as soon as the monster began its attack, it stopped. Everything was quiet until the sound of cheers was heard from the forest. While everyone else was celebrating the defeat of the fox, Minato and Kushina were still sitting on top of Chief Toad holding their sleeping son. Saratobi noticed that Minato was crying along with his wife and knew of the hardships that lay ahead for them and their son. Saratobi also knew that Danzo would rather have the child trained as a monster or killed by one of the clan heads if the child stayed in the village so he turned to them and gave them some advice that would help them.

"Minato Kushina I know you both are worried that your son will be seen as a monster by the villagers and hunted and possibly killed before he even turns two. So I have an idea, I have a friend that will be able to watch over Naruto and protect him from any harm. His name is Charles Xavier. And he runs a home for children with unusual talents and skills. There Naruto will be safe, but you must hurry and go now before Danzo and his Anbu Root get here and try to take your child by force. Now hurry you must go now." No sooner had Saratobi said those words both Minato and Kushina headed for Bayville and for Xavier's school.

After two days of traveling both parents found the school. Too bad that it was the dead of night and everyone in the building was a sleep.

"Minato I guess will have to come back in the morning. But for now-," Before Kushina could finish her sentence the gates of the building opened and a teenage girl with silver hair appeared to greet them.

"Welcome to the Xavier's institute for gifted youngsters. Professor Xavier has been expecting all three of you, so if you will please follow us we will take you to see him." the young girl then lead them into the house and felt a calming sensation come over them that they rarely felt back home in the Leaf Village or in any of the Ninja Villages. Once they were inside they noticed that this was a very beautiful place but knew it held its share of secrets.

"Ah I see our guests are here and comfortable I hope." Both Minato and Kushina stood and turned to see a man walk up to them.

"Hello forgive me for startling you, my name is Charles Xavier and welcome to my school. Saratobi sent a message that said to expect you. He has told me of what has happened and what he wants you both to do. I am willing to take care of your son, but you must know that when the time comes he will begin to question his origins and who his parents are." Charles noticed that both Minato and Kushina just nodded their heads at what he was saying and knew that this was hard on them. Minato then looked at his wife and son, who was still fast asleep withing his basket and turned to Charles.

"Tell me, this is no ordinary school. The moment that my wife and I set foot in this place I noticed that something was different. The girl that you sent out to greet us, there is something different about her isn't there?" Charles just smiled and nodded. His friend was right about Minato not being as dumb as others think he is.

"You are right, you see this is a home for mutants. I myself am a mutant and have decided to help other mutants out there with powers to learn how to control them and adjust to society. Here they can stay and grow in a safe haven and away from those that might seek to hurt them or use their gifts for evil. Which is why you want Naruto to stay here yes?" Charles couldn't help but smile as he saw that shocked look on both of their faces.

"Don't worry, like I said before I am a mutant and my powers just happen to be telepathy and mind reading. The girl that you saw earlier her name is Ororo, and she has the power to control weather. So you see Naruto will be safe. But we can discuss this further in the morning once you have rested. Ororo will show you to your rooms and-," the Professor noticed the sound of snoring coming from the couch and knew that his guest were fast asleep.

'Ororo could you please bring a large blanket for our guest to cover up in. I don't think that they will be moving until morning.' Charles then went to his room and after the blanket was draped over the family Ororo went to her room as well.

*Next Morning*

Kushina was the first to wake up due to her ninja training and noticed that Naruto was up too and was looking around the room. Naruto then looked at Kushina and it was then that Kushina noticed the color of his eyes which were a beautiful shade of deep blue like his father.

"I see you are awake." Kushina turned to see Charles with a tray of food and knew it was for them. So Kushina decided to wake her husband.

"Minato time to wake up honey. We have *sniff* a lot to do today" Minato woke up and saw that his wife was close to crying. Minato knew that what happened three days ago was no dream like he was hoping. And he knew that today they were to leave their little baby boy here and live with Charles. Minato also knew that his wife was trying her best to stay strong and not breakdown in front of him.

"I know that this is very difficult for the both of you, but I can assure you that he will be fine." Charles notice that Kushina had tears coming down her face and knew that this was harder than both parents had expected. Minato decided that now would be a good time to go before leaving got harder to do for both of them.

"Kushina could you hand Naruto to Xavier, I think its time we headed back." Minato had to swallow the lump that formed in his throat and tried to keep from crying himself. Kushina on the other hand let the tears flow freely and held onto her son for a few more minutes before she reluctantly handed her child over to Xavier.

"Xavier-san understand, we are not in a hurry to leave its just that if we don't go now, we will never leave and that will cause the village elders to send the Anbu to look for us and expose this place. M-My wife and I just want him to be safe a-a-and grow up to be a normal child. So please understand that-," Charles held up a hand and stopped the young man before he literally choked on his own words as he spoke.

"I understand, when the time comes I will come to you and I will bring him as well to meet you or you can come here to see him. Either way when he begins to question his origins I will tell him. As for the fox I plan to help him with that as well. But I know that he will be like his father so I have a request. Would it be possible for you to allow a Ninja named Renji to come here to train him. Renji is a friend of another one of my students who is not here at the moment, but he is familiar with what goes on in this school. He is a good friend and can be trusted and can help develop Naruto's skill and train him in the martial arts as well." Charles saw that both parents knew of this ninja for he had helped them many times before. Both parents agreed and turned their sights to their son who they would not be seeing in a long time.

"Naruto, my son my life, my joy know this, your father and I love you dearly and I hope in the future you can forgive us for what has happened to you. I promise that you will be safer here than you would have been back in the Leaf Village. Grow up to become a strong and kind man like your father and I know you will be." Kushina then let her husband talk to their baby boy before they left.

"My son, there are so many things that your mother and I wanted to do with you once you were older. Now it would seem that we won't get the chance to. While you are here with Xavier you are to listen to him and do as he says. Never hold a grudge and learn to forgive others regardless of what they have done. I love you my son, I always will. And I hope that one day we will meet again and become a family, but until that day comes, live a safe and happy life here. Farewell my son. Daddy loves you very much." Minato then bowed to Charles and he and Kushina left in a puff of smoke.

"Well it would appear Naruto that you are going to stay here for some time. I promise you that you will be happy here and that these extra rooms will be filled with many new friends for you to meet. So sleep well my little golden fox for this is the beginning of a new life for you. I can see that you are destined for great things in the future my boy." Charles just looked at the baby who was currently fast asleep in his arms and oblivious to what was going on around him.

Meanwhile Kushina and Minato were a days away from the Leaf Village when Minato noticed that his wife had stopped on the branch of a large oak tree and was crying.

"Kushina, I know that this is hard but for his sake, we had to leave him there. I know that your hurting, I am too, but we have to be strong and hope for the best." Minato was surprised when his wife just flung herself into his arms and cried into his shirt.

"I *sniff* k-know but, *sniff* when I left him there, it felt like I was leaving a part of my heart behind. I felt like someone had ripped out my heart. When you told me to hand him to Charles, I was close to telling him and you 'no'. So why does this pain in my heart still stay, why?" Minato hugged his wife and sat down on the large branch of the oak tree. He knew that his wife would feel this pain for the rest of their lives. For the first time since they left Bayville, they cried their eyes out for hours. It wasn't until late at night that both Kushina and Minato returned to the Leaf Village. Upon their arrival they were met with Saratobi and both Jiraiya and Tsunade. All three noticed that something was wrong with them for they both looked like they were in some sort of pain. Jiraiya was about to ask his former student what was wrong but was stopped by Saratobi.

Saratobi knew what was wrong with both of them and what type of pain they were in. The kind of pain that no medicine could cure. Minato knew that the separation was hard on him and his son might never forgive him for what he did. Kushina knew that the pain she felt would never go away for she knew nothing could make up for the loss of her baby.

So while the parents mourned the loss of their only joy, a new adventure was about to unfold for both the Leaf Village and the future students of the Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters.
