Kakashi decided to check out this Spider-Man after warning Fury.
He wanted to understand the new players appearing in the city. It was better to know them personally rather than rely only on reports.
"Jarvis, what do we know about this Spider-Man?" Kakashi asked calmly while looking out over the glowing city.
"Sir, he is from what I have identified a high school teenager by the name of Peter Parker. From what I have identified from analyzing different footages, he has somehow got powers of a spider. He has been trying to hide his identity but with enough clues I managed to figure it out," Jarvis replied.
The AI provided details about Peter's school, his aunt, etc.
"Powers of a spider, huh. Interesting. Some kind of mutant? Does our own reality have its own version of mutants that we did not know of or are they just appearing," Kakashi muttered to himself.
He wondered if the arrival of the X-Men had somehow awakened similar powers in this world or if these abilities had always existed quietly.
"Well, anyways, let's give this Spider-Man a visit," Kakashi said. With Jarvis helping, he quickly located the young hero swinging from building to building using some kind of web from shooters attached to his wrists.
Kakashi followed silently using his speed and stealth, staying in the shadows. He watched as Spider-Man stopped some bank robbers who were trying to escape with bags of money. The young hero moved with amazing agility, webbing up the criminals and leaving them for the police.
As he dealt with the bank robbers, Kakashi observed carefully. 'He is good. Enhanced strength, speed, durability and some kind of instincts and he could walk on walls.'
Kakashi noted every detail. The boy dodged bullets with ease and used his webs creatively to trap the robbers. His movements showed natural talent mixed with some lack of formal training.
Kakashi further observed that the teenager was holding back his strength. He could have easily hurt the criminals badly but chose not to. 'He is holding back his strength. So at least he knows restraint and he has a good heart to not kill people. But the kid might be endangering himself in some situations where he might not be ready. He needs some backup or training,' Kakashi thought.
The young hero clearly had a strong moral compass, but fighting alone at his age carried many risks. Kakashi felt a sense of responsibility towards him.
'Speaking of good heart, I have not summoned Naruto for a while. With all this happening, I have completely forgotten about him. First there was Loki, then the invasion of New York and then going to another reality. He would be pretty mad and sad about being ignored for such a long time,' Kakashi thought with a touch of guilt. The little nine-tailed fox had been a loyal companion, and Kakashi regretted not giving him attention lately.
'I cannot have him summoned in the Avengers Tower. With the mutant kids, he would rather be not summoned than being a plush toy for them and have his tails stretched by them. And with more things that I have to do, I will not be able to accompany him a lot,' he thought.
Kakashi considered the best way to introduce Naruto without causing chaos in the busy tower. He then looked at Spider-Man swinging away into the night. 'The kid looks like he could use some help. And Naruto would both be a good emotional support and backup. And he always wanted to be a hero so he would do good there and Naruto can also keep an eye on the kid.'
With his mind made up, Kakashi found a quiet alley and performed the summoning.
Naruto appeared in a small puff of smoke. The tiny nine-tailed fox immediately tried to furiously swipe at Kakashi's face with his claws. "You finally remembered me, you lazy human! I waited and waited! Do you know how boring it is in the other realm?"
Naruto complained loudly while jumping around. Kakashi dodged the playful attacks easily and explained the situation patiently. He told Naruto about the new world, the young hero called Spider-Man, and how he needed a partner to watch over the boy and support him. After some more grumbling and a few head pats, Naruto agreed with excitement, happy to finally have a mission and a chance to be a hero.

Peter came back to his house after his day patrol and stopping criminals. He entered through the window of his small bedroom quietly and removed his self-made superhero uniform.
He was tired but satisfied with the work he had done that day. As he changed into normal clothes, his spider senses suddenly tingled.
Peter turned quickly and looked at his bed. There sat a small fox with nine tails, looking surprisingly cute yet somehow proud. He was sure that there were some tears in its eyes which it wiped with its tail.
"You are my new caretaker. You will be responsible for brushing my fur, bathing me, entertaining me..." The fox said in a commanding voice. The talking fox almost freaked him out.
The little fox stood tall on the bed with his nine tails waving behind him. He listed out many demands like feeding him ramen, taking him on adventures, and never ignoring him. "I have been waiting for a worthy hero to work with and you look like you need my great guidance. From now on, you will listen to the great Naruto and become the best hero ever!" Naruto continued speaking without pause.
He explained how he would help in fights and give wise advice, though most of it sounded like boasting about his own future greatness. Peter stood frozen, staring at the talking animal in complete disbelief.
The fox jumped closer and poked Peter's leg with a small paw. "You should feel honored. Not every human gets to serve the mighty nine-tailed kitsune. We will fight bad guys together and I will make sure you do not mess up too badly. But first, you must learn to give proper respect and belly rubs when I ask for them."
He circled around Peter while talking, his tails brushing against the boy's arm. The fox even demonstrated a small spin attack to show how useful he could be in battle.
Peter looked at the talking fox and decided to pinch himself to see if he was not hallucinating, but it turned out it was real. The pinch hurt, confirming everything was actually happening. "Who... what are you...?" Peter asked in a shocked voice.
He took a small step back, still processing the sight of a nine-tailed fox sitting comfortably on his bed and talking like an old friend.
"I am the great Naruto Sama. The nine tails kitsune. I am a ninja fox. And one day... I am going to be a great hero, dattebayo," Naruto declared proudly.
"What...?" Peter said, still trying to understand the situation.
"You are my minion and subordinate. Since you are going to be my sidekick. You would be my Robin," Naruto announced happily.
"I say again, what?" Peter said, completely confused by the sudden declaration.
Naruto ignored it and said, "My first order is for you to change your mediocre costume. It is not befitting of my subordinate..." The fox began criticizing the red and blue suit, suggesting better colors.
"This day is weirder than the day when I got my powers," Peter mumbled.
