Naruto of the X-Men

Returns, Reload, and Restore

Its been 3 weeks since the day the rescue team arrived back in Konoha. The report the Hokage recieved was not what he was expecting. He classified all information SS-rank secret and none of the Konoha nins were to repeat what happened under penalty of death.

Naruto has been asleep the entire time mentally and physically empty.

Sasuke was still in the hospital from his injuries thanks to Kakashi. Currently is still passing blood in his urine.

Kakashi has been put on leave but he has not been seen since the day they returned in Konoha.

Anko and Wolverine have been drinking together. Gambit and Rogue have been by Naruto side every moment available.

As for Tenten. Well that is interesting to say the least.

flashback

Tenten lay in a bed with several medical machines running to her as well as IVs hooked to her. Currently the room was dark with Kakashi sitting in chair beside her bed sleeping with the beeping of the machine the only noise that could be heard.

A figure could be seen standing on the other side of her bed holding her hand and Kakashi slowly awoke and looked at the person and asked "Who are you." as he was prepared to defend her.

The man turned and said "Hello Kakashi. I am called Reload. Don't worry, Cache will be fine and awake by tomorrow."

Kakashi frowned and asked "How can you be sure."

Reload said "I know because it is my place to know. She will awake but she won't come out unchanged. Under her skin is now living metal. It looks normal, feels normal, but if you look." as he tapped her skin with a piece of metal and Kakashi could hear the sound of metal on metal and he frowned and said "Will she really be ok."

Reload smiled and said "Yeah. Think of it as body armor under the skin. Weapons can cut her skin but they will never be able to go pass the skin to harm the organs inside. She will also have other benifits from this but what I can't tell you. She will have to be trained to use it as well and the only ones who can train her properly will be the X-men. I must be going. Do me a favor and when you go to tell her the truth give her this scroll." as he handed Kakashi a scroll.

Kakashi asked "What is it."

Reload pushed a button on his wrist and a portal appeared and said "Its a letter from her mother Rin before she died." as he stepped inside and disappeared."

Kakashi went wide eyed and looked at the scroll. Just then Jean walked in and said "Kakashi, was there anyone else in here besides you and her."

Kakashi said "Yeah, some guy named Reload."

Jean frowned and said "I see, what did he want."

Kakashi said "He told me a little about what will happen to her now and also told me to give her this scroll. He claims its from Tentens mother. How is that possible."

Jean leaned agianst the wall and said "You heard about the time travel thing in between our worlds right."

Kakashi nods and Jean said "Reload is from 23 years in the future from what I was told by Cable who is also from that time. We really don't know much about him except when he showed up once in our future. What we do know is hes deadly in a fight."

Kakashi frowns and said "Then why was he here, why was he interested in my daughter."

Jean said "I don't know. He also seems interested in Naruto as well but why only he knows. I could make theories but most of them go from plausable to comical. Anyways what did he say about her."
