"(Japanese)" – formerly used to mean English, but moving out of Konoha means language change, hence now this means the opposite.

Chapter 9

I am Uatu the Watcher assigned to watch the Earth and its solar system. In my viewing I watched the end come to humanity and leave the earth a lifeless rock.

The Horseman of Apocalypse known as Death was the one who ended it all

Formerly known as Naruto Uzumaki from the Hidden Village and a member of the X-Men known as Ripper, Naruto was captured by Apocalypse and turned over to the mutant scientist Mr. Sinister Naruto was stripped of his memories, his chakra and with experimental technology was transformed into the avatar of Death.

While the remaining X-Men along with Magneto and Naruto's teammate from Konoha, Ino Yamanaka they rescued Hinata and Shino who had been captured by William Stryker their own mutations altering them.

Spider-man joined by the X-Man Beast along with the ninja Anko and Kurenai discovered that Apocalypse was using heroes and villains some willing others were being controlled.

Then the first deaths of the Apocalypse war took place as the Horsemen in full force attacked.

The heroes that survived went underground.

Then the battle of the Brooklyn Bridge took place and Death destroyed former teammate Shino Abarame. His ability shredding the insects that made up Shino's body.

Over several months the war continued. SHIELD agents died and the rest of the US sealed off New York.

Nick Fury and his staff were killed when the Horsemen War and Famine destroyed the Helicarrier.

Pestilence set Central Park ablaze killing Reed Richards and others.

The war ground to a halt for a while as the heroes and the villains that joined them took time to discuss plans. It allowed Apocalypse to solidify his power and the war resumed with unleashing the new and improved Sentinels when the heroes struck out from the hideout under the Statue of Liberty.

The battle was intense and while the Sentinels were destroyed, Hinata died being smashed by War.

The heroes got their first major victory with Pestilence being stopped by the X-Men Rogue, Gambit and Ino.

The next victory came with the capture of Mr. Sinister. They learned from him of Apocalypse's plans and where he was.

The Assault on the stronghold deep in Manhattan saw an all out war. War and Famine were more than enough to deal with the heroes while a small strike team consisting of Rogue, Gambit, Ino, X-23, Marrow, Magneto, Beast, Anko, Kurenai and Wolverine.

Deep into the recently built stronghold they traveled, getting separated as they ran afoul of traps or guardians.

Ino, Anko and Kurenai reached the main hall where Death stood guard. Kurenai died as her flesh was ripped from her, Anko attacked putting Death on the defensive which gave Ino time to seed the area. Anko's muscles were shredded and she lay there waiting for the final blow when vines lashed out and attacked Death.

Ino used her ability with plants to keep the distance from being effected by Death's power.

During the battle War and Famine had retreated and War attacked Ino, clapping his hands and shattering every bone in the mutant ninja's body, even as she used her plants to wrap around Death and use a mental attack from her family's mind arts.

No one understands what happened. It could have been Ino's final attack or some trace of Naruto's personality that Sinister couldn't erase.

Whatever it was Death let loose a primal scream and his power surged and everything in a five mile radius was shredded.

The Death Effect seemed to be permanent and where ever he went, everyone died in a five mile radius.

A year and a half saw Death know known as Naruto once more battling his former master Apacalypse.

With the death of his loved ones nothing was holding Naruto back and during the time wandering he regained his chakra as well as the Kyuubi which hadn't been removed as Sinister thought

Apocalypse fought Naruto and when Naruto unleashed the Kyuubi when Apocalypse had him beaten.

The immortal mutant didn't stand a chance against the greatest of the tailed beasts who was seriously in a bad mood after years of imprisonment.

The Kyuubi raged across the planet and with none skilled enough to stop him saw the end of the world.

I am Utau the Watcher with nothing to watch save for a dead world and a lone nine tailed demon.

THE END

AN: I lost it here. With Naruto and the X-Men Second Class filling my mind this one felt like an orphan left at a church. So I ended it. Might come back down the road and rewrite the POT-verse. But Second Class is calling me. Sorry to those who wanted more or better. But this story just wasn't flowing any more.

Hope we all survive the admin shuffle. ~ ESM
