For as much as he could piece together from his memory and experiences, he had lived three lives: Weapon X, Logan, and Wolverine. Weapon X was a brainwashed assassin, Wolverine was an X-Men, and Logan was a combination of the latter and a wanderer. The title of wanderer was also a coverup for the vast amount of his missing memories, ones which he had yet to unravel. It was also one of two reasons he was piloting the Blackbird, flying over Chicago.

"Man, Kitty'd kill us if she knew we flew to the Windy City without her," Scott said, looking at the city down below.

"Get a glimpse of it while you can, Shades, cuz we ain't stoppin' here," Logan growled.

"Where are we going then?" Rogue asked.

"People living there call it Nippon."

"Does it have anything ta do with tha attack on the Professor and Jean?"

"Half of it."

"And the other half?" Ororo inquired.

"None of your business."

"Ah we there yet?"

"No."

"C'mon. We're ova Hawaii, the land of sunshine an' palm beaches. This has got ta be da place," Rogue whined.

"I said we're going to Nippon. What part of 'this is not Nippon' don't you understand," Logan grumbled.

"Well, how am I supposed ta know Native Hawaiian?"

Ororo should her head in frustration at the argument and amusement at Logan losing it. The feral mutant was swearing left and right about his (lack of) luck.

"What exactly do these attacks have anything to do with Japan?" Scott blurted.

"How do you figure that, slim?" Logan huffed.

The optic mutant held up his iPad as proof. Internet was activated, and Scott was browsing through. "Google Translate, see? I figured that if we weren't landing here in Hawaii; Japan or China would be next. Besides they don't translate Hawaiian."

Rogue was concerned about something totally different. "How did the Professor allaw ya to have satellite access?" she fumed.

"He didn't," Scott stated matter-of-fact. The others were giving him weird looks.

"So ya hacked inta it?" she yelled.

"No, I hacked into the Blackbird's systems, then hacked into the satellite internet," he said with absolutely no remorse, pointing to the cord hooking up his iPad to the plane's systems. The others just gawked at him.

"Uh, Scott. The Blackbird already has satellite access," Ororo pointed out.

The boy shrugged. "I wanted a challenge."

"Look here, kid," Logan said, stressing the third word. "The Blackbird is a state-of-the-art flying box of beautiful metal, equipped with the most advanced tech and software humanity and mutants can offer. Hell, SHIELD's been having a devil of a time getting their hands on it. This baby's got it all," he finished, patting the dashboard affectionately.

"Tells you something about SHIELD's security, doesn't it?" Scott retorted.

"Fury's gonna have my head for this."

"Ya know, Scott?" Rogue said. "For someone who's such a stickla for da rules, ya sure know how ta break'em."

"I do my best." Scott shrugged it off before returning to his iPad. "Hey Logan, can I do something with the Blackbird's systems for a minute?"

"As long as you don't activate the ejector seat, fine."

The mutant got out of his seat, pulled a water balloon out of his pocket, and went into the little hero's room.

Rogue took off her gloves. "Ah swear, if he's gonna bean me, I'll..."

"Don't worry, Rogue. He won't," Ororo said, powering up. She froze the bathroom door.

"Hey guys, cool it with the powers inside the jet. It can't take it," Logan warned.

The two women just scowled at him and obeyed him reluctantly. After a minute, thumping was heard on the bathroom door. Scott casually broke it down and came out with a full water balloon. He pushed a button on his iPad before looking at the speakers overhead.

"Cannon mode, activated," the plane's female AI said. A compartment opened behind the last passenger window on the left.

"Cannon mode? Scott what'dya think you're doing!" Logan shouted.

"The Blackbird can interface with Cerebro," Scott said simply, loading the water balloon into the cannon.

"So?" they others voiced.

"Basically, I can access any mutant files on Cerebro."

They completely lost Scott's trail of thinking. "And?"

"I'll show you. Blackbird, interface with Cerebro and lock cannon onto mutant Alex Masters-Summers."

They all gasped. "Scott! You wouldn't! Your own brother?" Ororo said, finding it quite difficult to muster the right words.

"Unauthorized targeting. Access Denied. Access Denied," the AI responding.

Rogue shouted with glee. "HA! Take that, you..."

"X-Men Override 077," Scott recited without emotion.

"Huh?" Rogue utter intelligently.

"Scott Summers. Recognized. Interfacing...Locking in."

"Oh no you don't," Rogue stormed over, irate. "X-Men Override 043! Cannon Lockdown!"

"Anna Marie. Recognized. Cannon Lockdown."

Everyone stared at Rogue. "Anna...Marie?" they asked incredulously.

Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. "Ah guess the professor made one up for me 'cuz I wouldn't tell'm my real one," she quickly covered up. The Goth scanned the faces of her fellow mutants in the plane and let out a quick, suppressed sigh when it looked like the others bought it. "'scuse meh. Ah got a little something ta take care of," she waved before dashing to the back of the plane.

"You don't believe her, do you?" Scott asked.

"Not for a second. She had the lying vibe rolling offa her. Besides, can't lie to me," Logan said, pointing to his nose.

"Right...now, where were we? Oh yeah, X-Men Override 077. Target Alex Masters-Summers."

"Target Confirmed. God, I thought you humans would never make up your minds. More power needed," the AI droned.

"Who's the bright spark that decided to give the Miss Terminator here a writhing sense a humor?" Wolverine drawled.

"Who cares," Scott shrugged. "Storm, if you don't mind."

The elder mutant let out a defeated sigh as she poured a couple hundred volts of electricity into the terminal. The cannon hummed and then shot out the missile.

"Well, that's that," Scott chirped, dusting of his hands. Logan and Ororo groaned.

"Scott, don't you feel somewhat terrible that you are pranking your brother in this manner?" the African mutant asked.

"Oh yeah, it's tearing me up."

(Down Below)

"Come on, dude! Pass it! Alonzo's wide open!" Alex shouted.

"Can't! Tina's in the way!" Werlo yelled back.

By majority vote, Alex's friends had decided that this time they would reenact the Pro Bowl instead of going surfing. Granted it bummed the younger mutant out, but he decided to "go with the flow", so to speak. Besides, these guys already knew about him being a mutant, so why waste hard-to-come-by friends. It was not like the townspeople hated him. No, far from that. He was treated quite warmly, in fact. The real problem was the town itself was pretty small. The next town over was the bigger one and therefore the tourist hub. It was the tourists who weren't fond of him. Alex wasn't exactly known, in the next town, and frankly, didn't want to be. The reactions from tourists who might have seen his momentary face on TV was one he had often feared.

Werlo decided to go for the long shot, screening the ball off to Alex. A few broken tackles here and jump there and Alex was in for a 9-yard touchdown. He had to admit. Scoring that felt good.

Zing! That, on the other hand, didn't feel good. Alex recoiled as a water balloon struck his back. The disturbed mutant turned around, scanning his friends for the one who did it. Just as he was about to pinpoint the culprit, his phone rang. Alonzo picked it up from the sandy sideline and tossed it to his friend.

"Hey Scott, what's up?" the Hawaiian greeted.

"Been good, Alex. How's the game going?"

"Wait, you wouldn't be-" he looked up and saw the Blackbird hovering over the entire field soundlessly. "Nice of you to drop by."

"Sorry, I can't stay. Have an appointment in Japan. By the way, feeling soaked?"

"Scott, you jerk! How did you-"

"Blackbird cannons," Scott replied proudly.

"Hold on a sec," Alex said. He turned to his pals listening to the conversation. "Got a balloon?"

"Fine I'll hold. Not like he can hit me up here," the elder Summers said confidently to his fellow mutants.

The four mutants watched with an interested gaze as Alex walked over to a nearby hose and filled up his water balloon. "I'm pulling up just in case," Logan warned.

"What does that idiot think he's doing shooting from way down there?" Scott asked. Their eyes all widened collectively as Alex's hand started to glow.

"PULL UP, PULL UP, PULL UP!" Scott yelled. Logan yanked the controls as the balloon was fired from the hand.

"Stop pulling up!" Ororo yelled. "It's probably a block of ice by now."

"Oh…" the clawed mutant relaxed his grip on the controls. The frozen ball of ice shot through the left window of the Blackbird, broke up against the interior metal, and cracked Scott's iPad screen with a much smaller cube.

"Aren't these windows supposed ta be bulletproof?" Rogue said in shock.

"Payback is best served cold, Scott," said Alex through his phone.

"You're lucky I don't jump out of the plane right now and take you on," Scott shot back.

"We both know our powers are useless against each other."

"How about an old-fashioned-"

Ororo, with a little wind levitation, floated the phone into her hand. "Alex, sorry to disturb you, but we must be on our way to Japan," she said.

"No prob, Storm. Say hi to the rest."

"Will do…"

"Stubborn brat," Scott muttered as she hung up.

(In Japan, after landing)

The four-mutant team walked onto a rural estate, closing the Blackbird's bay doors behind them.

"Logan, are you alright coming back to Japan after what happened with Mariko?" Ororo asked.

"Don't worry your head. We're just visiting an old friend of mine. He's somewhat of a mentor."

"Is he a mutant or a supahero?" Rogue asked.

"Wrong on both offem," Wolverine replied. "But he is a martial artist who can give me a really hard time if I really ever went against him. Besides, he has this calming effect on me. Can't ever go berserk when he's around. The man's something special in both ways."

"Sounds lahke someone ya look up to," Rogue said.

"He is my mentor, remember?"

They step onto the front porch and knocked on the Japanese style doors.

"Hisashiburi jana, Logan."

"You could always tell it was me, sensei," the feral mutant said as he opened the doors. The four X-Men followed Logan's lead and kneeled down on the mats before the table. "All these years, and not one grey hair."

"I'm a healthy man. Sue me. I heard what happened with Mariko in Madripoor. Do you want to discuss it?" Logan's mentor said. He looked to be a man around 40 years old with pitch black hair and onyx eyes. His hair covered his forehead in the front, but stopped an inch above the shoulder in the back. He was wearing a black/dark blue long sleeve shirt, which was mirrored by his pants.

"Some other time, sensei. I came because I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Speak your mind."

"I came here because the Jean and Chuck were hit at the same time by something telepathic. Powerful, too. They're also squirming like a batch of fresh students out of the academy. But at the end, they were muttering something like they were possessed," Logan explained.

"But why would you come to me? I'm certainly not an expert in these kinds of matters."

"Yeah, but they were saying something I heard you warn me about a couple times."

"Hoh? This is getting interesting. What were they exactly saying that made you come here?" the sensei questioned as he lifted a cup of tea to his lips.

"世界の終わり別の進化."

The man choked on his tea and dropped his cup to the tatami mats. The team's eyes traced from the mats to the man's face, and found his eyes wide in fear. Logan looked at the man's eyes again. He could have sworn that his eyes flashed in a weird way.

"Sensei? Sensei? Are you okay? Sensei!"

The man snapped out of his shock. "I'm sorry, Logan. This is just very shocking."

"Well, we at least know that you know what the heck is going on around here," Scott said.

"That is right. It is just that this is a little sooner than I expected. 'The end of one world, the evolution of another.' It's a warning for the coming of someone."

"Yeah, but what about a world that is going to be destroyed? Is it ours or another one?" Logan inquired again.

"And who's this person that is coming?" Rogue asked.

"The person who is coming is a being of great power. He is the Kono Yo no Kyuseishu and the Yogen no Ko. Among others, he calls to peace and has the power of bringing out the best in people."

"'The Savior of This World' and the 'Child of the Prophecy'? Sensei, who are you talking about? If he's a savior and calling to peace, why's he out to destroy the world?" Logan pushed.

"No. The world that is being destroyed is not yours. It is mine."

The team's eyes widened in shock. "'Yours'? 'Mine'? You mean you're an alien?" Scott said in disbelief.

"Relax, I'm human," the sensei said. "But I don't exactly originate from this dimension."

"Logan was right when he said that you were special. But no matter how special, it's amazing that someone with no superhuman powers like you knows about these prophecies and such," Ororo said.

"Who said I didn't have any superhuman powers?"

Logan frowned. "I thought you said you were human."

"I am," the sensei replied. "But I'm as human as you are."

"Ya mean you're a mutant?" Rogue asked.

"Yes and no. Per se is probably more fitting. Logan, did I ever tell you my real name?"

"Ya kidding? You were always the Kuraimei-sensei to me. I can see why you chose that, considering your eyes are blacker than coal."

"It's true. My eyes are black. Although, there is a different reason I chose that nickname. However, it's about time you knew my real name," the man said as he stood up. "I am Uchiha Seizo, the Kuraimei of Konoha."

"Konoha?" Logan exclaimed as he stood up, too. "Stop messing with me! You always said that it was ninja village-"

"Hidden in the Leaves."

"I thought you said it was a legend. It actually exists?"

"Yes. And that is my home."

"The one that is-," Rogue started.

"Follow me," he instructed.

The three seated mutants stood up and followed Logan and his sensei. "A long time ago, there was a man from my dimension called the Sage of the Six Paths. He was a very powerful man. So powerful, that he may be able to defeat the superpowered community quite easily. The power of the Hulk couldn't begin to compare."

The team's eyes widened as they tried to analyze and pinpoint the threat of this man.

"Around that time, there existed a monster of incredible energies. It was a monster that terrorized our world. You may think of it as the Legend of St. George and the Dragon, only the both of them held a power were there was no parallel. The Sage of the Six Paths defeated the monster, and became known as 'The Savior of this World'. The Kono Yo no Kyuseishu."

"I thought you said that he wasn't the guy that was coming," Scott said.

"He isn't. Hundreds of years later, there was a man named Jiraiya who tried to find an answer of peace to the war-inflicted world. A prophecy was foretold that he would raise a disciple who would revolutionize that world by either saving it or destroying it. The disciple would be called the Yogen no Ko, 'the Child of the Prophecy'. Jiraiya took a number of apprentices, the last one I remember being a bright, blonde kid named Namikaze Minato. The boy had a talent for being fast, and many thought him to be a prodigy. However, certain events threw me out of my home dimension. As I was being exiled, I learned of a prophecy that told of the world being destroyed and a new version of the Kono Yo no Kyuseishu being sent here. Later on, considering Jiraiya's judgement in disciples, I came to the conclusion that the Yogen no Ko would not destroy the world, and that he was also the Kono Yo no Kyuseishu. But how my home world is going to be destroyed, I still don't know. I also don't know why the two prophecies are contrasting each other."

"So, this Narikamazi guy is the going to be the one jumping over here," Rogue asked.

"Namikaze," the master corrected. "And I don't know. I keep having this feeling that he has passed away, yet he's still alive."

"Like zombie?" Rogue said.

"No. The possibility of that is infinitely small," the man replied. He arrived at another door, and like the previous ones, he opened them wide open. This time, the sight that greeted them wasn't another hall, but a room filled with mementos. The man pulled out a long, black bandana of sorts and displayed it to his guests. "This is my hitai-ite, my forehead protector. Engraved on this metal plate is the symbol of my village. It's evidence of my loyalty."

"Do you have any proof of this or your origins?" Storm asked.

"Ororo!" Logan interjected.

"Don't worry, Logan. It's fine. If you want me to show proof, I'll need a piece of paper," the traveler said.

"Uh, sure." Storm fished through her purse, tore out a notepad paper, and held it out to the man.

He rolled up his sleeves and touched the paper that was still in her hand with his index finger. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and soon, the paper ignited.

"Woah," breathed Scott.

"I think this would be enough proof," the ninja said.

"Okay, let's say you're a really good magician," Rogue said.

He turned to face her and started walking in her direction. "Ah yes, but a magician wouldn't be able-" he disappeared from in front of her "-hide in plain sight," said his voice from right behind her. Rogue spun around "-like I can," he said from behind her again.

"Cut that out!" Rogue exclaimed. "I believe ya."

"Besides, you could also take some of my power and memories from me," the shinobi said. "I'll barely feel the drain."

"No thanks."

"Sensei, what are these?" Logan asked, pointing to two symbols etched into the wall.

"This paper fan is called in uchiwa, and it's the symbol of the Uchiha. That swirl is the symbol of a different prominent clan. Each Konoha wore it shinobi, celebrating the long friendship between them and one of the villages founding clans." The visitors kept looking around while their host just stood there, bowing his head in a solemn manner.

"Sensei, you okay?"

"Yes. The problem is that Konoha, the entire shinobi world…it was my home. It being all lost makes me want to see it one last time," he said, turning to face them. "The Yogen no Ko is on his way here. If you ever meet him, understand that he has just lost everything. Please try to make him feel welcome. He is most likely the last shinobi besides me, and holds valuable knowledge that many in this world would stop at virtually nothing to obtain. If you ever end up at odds or fight with him, make sure to not hold back. Each of those said to be the Kono Yo no Kyuseishu have had remarkable potential. He is strong for a reason."

"Is there a way to save your home dimension?" Ororo asked.

"I'm afraid not. As far as I understand, this was all set in motion by the Sage of the Six Paths himself. Nothing can stop it."

"Fine," Logan huffed as he turned toward the door. "But if you need anything from me, sensei, you know where to reach me."

"I can take care of myself," Seizo retorted. "You know that quite well. You could never beat me."

"There's always next time," Logan shot back. "We're goin'."

The host led his guests to the door and waved them goodbye. After he saw the Blackbird take off, he went back to his table and began wiping the tea mess he forgot there. He wiped the last of it up and tossed the towel into a nearby hamper. When he sat back down, a knock was heard from the door.

"Come in."

A man with long black hair and a kimono walked in with a teenage girl. "I've brought Ichiki Hisako as you requested, sir," the man said.

"Thank you, Mikage Kikyo. Anyways, how are you doing, granddaughter?"

And here's the next teaser. I know it stinks. It's just that I can't find a beta who does Naruto and X-Men. Time to answer a couple questions.

Yes, Neji is going to be here. In fact, the vast majority of the cast is going to have immensely heavy influences here, too. However, I still don't know about Kabuto, Tobi, or Madara. I keep going over the scenarios and the possibilities are just not there. I'll need some serious persuasion if you guys want them in.

This is primarily a crossover between Naruto and X-Men. There will be heavy influences from other major Marvel characters like Iron Man (Armored Adventures), Hulk, and etc. I may even form the Avengers. There will also be appearances from other mangas, like The Breaker, Bleach, Disciple Kenichi anime, and other martial arts mangas I may come across (I'll notify you when the additions become official). Also, Kikyo Mikage and the incident with Mariko is from the Wolverine anime. The events of both the Wolverine anime and Blade anime are part of this fic. A simple search on the internet and you can find both series dubbed or subbed, according to your preferences, on Megavideo.

And there was a review about Naruto having the Rinnegan. This is not true. The visions that Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, and the telepaths were getting are images of different people from the Naruto universe. The slideshow ENDED with Rinnegan staring at them. The Rinnegan is the symbol of the Sage's power, and it seemed fitting that the symbol of Sage's power would appear in tandem with the Sage's voice.

I'm trying to make this fic different from other Naruto/X-Men fics (or any other show), in the way that everything's canon, and that the friends and experiences that Naruto left behind are going to determine the direction of the story heavily. Naruto's not going to have an X-Gene, powers from other shows, or a Mary Sue (male version lol). He's going to have his normal Rasengan, Sage Mode, jinchuriki, and etc., powers. If you are looking for Naruto to have a katana or a long sword, you're probably looking in the wrong place. From when I've seen, Naruto is more attuned with short weapons like kunais and Asuma's chakra knives. Also, I chose the name Uchiha Seizo because Seizo was the name of Sarutobi Sasuke's rival in Japanese folklore. Btw, Naruto's new friendships with the tailed beasts and Kurama (Kyubi's real name lol) threw a wrench in the release of this fic, but is also made directing the plot a little easier. So...what do you think of the teaser? Surprised? Disappointed? Can't wait for the release of the real story? It'd be appreciated if you posted a review.

If any of you are fans of DC and TMNT, check out my other fic. It would also be nice if you could find me a beta for that fic, since it has some personality faults. I'd really appreciate if someone would also beta for this fic, too.

If you have any other questions or comments, PM me or review. Also, from now on, look to my profile page for updates on either fic and check the new avatar (lol). Btw, I'm thinking of changing my penname to "rvoltinin"…whaddya think?
