The Psychic, the Swordsman, and The Sorcerer

Chapter 1

I don't own Naruto, X-Men, Zorro, or Harry Potter. They all belong to Masashi Kishimoto, Marvel Comics, Zorro Production Inc. (though their claim is disputed, and it is commonly accepted that Zorro falls under public domain due to the fact that The Curse of Capistrano, Zorro's first appearance ever was written in 1919), and J.K. Rowling, respectively.

Also, inspiration for this story came while reading the New Intros series of oneshots from Silent Magi's oneshot series "The Magi's Randomness". This will be an ongoing story.

Kakashi entered the room late, as was his habit, expecting for Naruto to have set up for some sort of prank like putting an eraser on the door. Not particularly concerned, he opened the door to be greeted, not by an eraser hitting his head but by a strange series of quick movements touching his outer mask with something small and metal. Not even bothering to look at his assailant, he closed his eyes in a cheerful manner and said, "Okay, so my first impression of you: I hate you all. Meet me on the roof in a few minutes."

With that, he used a simple shunshin to get to the roof, and pulled out a copy of Icha Icha to read while he waited. When they finally arrived on the roof, he was surprised at their appearances, to say the least.

Sakura Haruno, the pink-haired fangirl of Sasuke Uchiha, was dressed in green outfit that would have reminded him of Gai if not for the fact that it had golden sleeves and boots that went up to mid-thigh, a black collar that covered her neck, a golden sash with a golden bird-shaped piece of metal holding it in place while an identical, larger golden bird covered her chest. While it was a nice outfit, it was still impractical, even more so than Naruto's orange jumpsuit. Despite all his attention to detail, he had failed to notice that she was also floating a few inches off the ground.

Speaking of Naruto, he was dressed all in black, which would, of course, have been a pleasant change but he was dressed almost flamboyantly. His outfit covered all of his body, with long black pants, a long-sleeved black shirt, black gloves, black boots and, much to Kakashi's approval, a black mask covered the area around his eyes, though his mouth and nose, as well as his very noticeable whiskers were still uncovered. What concerned Kakashi was that he was also wearing a long black cape that could get caught on something in combat and a black hat with a broad brim that could allow him to be attacked from above. He was also wielding what looked like a sword that was too thin to be of use against a kunai yet had an ornate hilt. Where he got the black horse he was riding and why he was making different gestures to a nearby shadow clone, which was responded with its own gestures before heading off, Kakashi decided could wait until later.

Sasuke, meanwhile, was dressed in black robes with a small crest of a lion on a field cut into quarters of red and gold bearing the word Gryffindor on it on one side of the front and the Uchiha crest on the other. While that would impede movement, Kakashi knew from dealing with people in robes previously that it could be worked around. What disturbed him, however, was that Sasuke had a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt and was holding a strangely polished and straight stick in his hand, as well as wearing glasses over his eyes, even though they were clearly plain glass. The broom he had floated in on would be discussed later, Kakashi decided.

"Well, since we're all here, why don't we start with introductions," Kakashi said, certain he was prepared for anything.

"Why don't you give us an example, sensei, so we know what to say," Sakura said, touching her hands to her temples, "Your name is Kakashi Hatake. Your likes are... You don't want to tell us your likes or dislikes. You seem to have no dreams for the future. You have lots of hobbies. How did you block me out?"

"I've spent quite a bit of time with Inoichi Yamanaka, so I learned to block out some attacks on my mind. Since you're so keen on sharing, though, you're up first, Pinky."

"My name is Sakura Haruno, though I am also know as the Phoenix," she said calmly, "I am a psychic mutant who can also perform telekinesis. My likes are training, Sasuke-kun, and using my abilities to their potential. My dislikes are Naruto, on occasion, Ino, evil mutants, those who abuse their power, other psychics who try to control me, and people who call others freaks because they can't understand or trust what they don't know. My dream for the future is to marry Sasuke and live in a world where I won't be judged by my possession of psychic powers. I must admit, there is a dark psychic presence inside of me. She is called the Dark Phoenix and is very dangerous."

"Alright, then," Kakashi said, feeling mildly concerned by the last bit, "You're up next, oh cloaked conductor."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke began, "I am the last loyal Uchiha in Konoha, and Konoha's only wizard. After my brother betrayed our clan to a snake-like man, I decided to have my vengeance. However, while I wish for my brother to meet justice for his crimes, I am currently more concerned by the return of the snake-like man, who has repeatedly tried to kill me by this point. I don't have any particular likes or dislikes, but I dream of killing my brother and the snake-like man in order to avenge the deaths of my entire family."

"Okay," Kakashi said slowly, trying to figure out what Sasuke was talking about. He hadn't ever heard that Orochimaru was involved with the Uchiha massacre. Deciding to file that away to talk to the Hokage about later, as well as Sakura's multiple personality issues, he turned to Naruto and said, "And you, masked horseman?"

"I'm friend of the weak, and the poor and the meek. I am the cunning fox, Zorro!" Naruto shouted, pulling his blade out as he leapt of the horse and carved a Z in the door leading back downstairs. He then continued, "My likes are ramen, delivering justice to those who deserve it, defending those who cannot defend themselves, the Lady Hinata, my horse, Tornado, the fast horse alive, and battling tyranny and corruption, wherever it appears. My dislikes are tyranny, injustice, corruption, and the time it takes to heat ramen. My hobby is gardening, and practicing my swordsmanship. My dream is to create a world of peace and justice, in which I shall marry the Lady Hinata and become Hokage."

At this point, Kakashi was too exhausted to even bother trying to figure the three genin out. Deciding that he would definitely be speaking to Hokage, he said, "Alright, then. Meet me at Training Ground 7 at noon so I can give you a test as to whether you are going to be my team, or going back to the Academy to get the crazy beaten out of you. Oh, and don't eat. You'll only get sick."

With that, he used another shunshin to get out of sight and watched them leave. Sakura rose from the ground with a flaming aura around her, much to Kakashi's surprise, and took flight, heading back to her house. Sasuke then mounted the broom he rode in on and flew away back to the Uchiha compound. Naruto mounted his horse and they rode to the edge of the building, leaping into the air, leading Kakashi to suspect that all of his students could fly. Then, they landed on a nearby roof and continued, leaping from rooftop to rooftop before pausing in front of a setting sun. Naruto raised his thin sword high as his horse kicked it's front legs into the air. Then, they rode off again, vanishing into the sunset in the general direction of the Hyuuga compound.

"I am definitely going to speak to the Hokage," Kakashi decided. If he was lucky, the Professor would take pity on him. Bracing himself for an interesting conversation, Kakashi trudged to the Hokage Tower, getting ready to beg if he had to.
