SHADOW DOPPLEGANGER TECHNIQUE! Jutsu/Techniques (I use the English names)


Every once in a while, a Hyuuga genius will rise. Occasionally, he or she will be Branch House, occasionally he or she will be Main House. Let me tell you the tale of the one Hyuuga Genius that was neither: one that came from outside the houses… the tale of Hyuuga Kazama Uzumaki Naruto, the next Hokage (by his own omission) and the next Leader of the Hyuuga Clan…


October 10th, 0006 PK; 3:06 PM


Today was a VERY exciting day. It wasn't every day a boy turns six, and the day was still fairly young, so none of the villagers were quite drunk yet. Not only that, but this was a special boy: Naruto Uzumaki, a young boy with deep-blue eyes, spiky blonde hair, and six thin scars on his cheeks, mirroring whisker marks. He walked next to the old man, the venerable "Hokage", his chest puffed out with pseudo-pride. They were walking together to the Hokage Tower to find Naruto an apartment: the Orphanage kicked him out, citing that he was causing unrest. As they walked along, he stared at the various, new sights around him. It had been a entire year since he'd last been allowed outside, and all the sunshine and activity was starting to scare him a little, not that he'd ever admit it. He grabbed at the Hokage robe in front of him and buried his head in it with fright after someone dropped some lumber nearby, startling the small child badly. The Hokage put his hand on Naruto's head, trying to calm him down a bit, but it wasn't working. He turned around and looked Naruto in the eyes, kneeling down to his level, his hand still on Naruto's head.

"Naruto? Is everything okay?" He asked kindly.

'He's almost like I would imagine a grandfather to be like.' Naruto thought privately. He sniffled a couple of times, before replying.

"Y… yes… That sound didn't scare me!" He proclaimed, puffing his chest out.

"Of course it didn't." He chuckled gently. "Now, shall we start moving again?" Naruto's head bobbed up and down, giving a huge nod.

"Yep!" He said, beaming widely. They took a few more steps, before Naruto felt a clawing pain in his stomach, like something was trying to tunnel out.

'Must be hungry.' Naruto thought. He threw his arm across his stomach while grabbing onto the Hokage's sleeve, and tugging it a couple of times.

"I… I think I'm getting… GAH!" With the last, he cried out, dropping to his knees, and hunching over his legs, blood red chakra boiling from his tiny form. The Hokage looked alarmed, and four ANBU dropped from the heavens and surrounded him, katana drawn. The Hokage waved them down, grabbed him by the shoulder, and flipped him backward, before fluidly cocking his arm back.

The venerable Hokage, the Professor Ninja, gazed sadly at the small child crying out in pain before him. Sighing mightily, four small, blue flames danced at the tips of his fingers.

"FOUR SYMBOLS SEAL!" he roared, striking Naruto's stomach. Cocking his arms back, five small flames danced on one hand, and three danced on the other hand's palm. "FIVE ELEMENTS SEAL!" he roared, then immediately slammed his other palm onto Naruto's stomach, roaring "THREE PRONGED SEAL!", applying a net effect of an even numbered seal sequence onto the master Dead Demon Consuming Seal array. He heard a crack, and the whisker marks on his cheeks seemed to literally fall off his cheeks. Naruto panted, before screaming again, his eyes glowing under his eyelids. The Hokage darted forward, picking up the child and holding him, cradled in his old, yet powerful arms. Naruto's head limply fell back, before his eyes fell open, drawing a gasp from the gathered ANBU. The Hokage shifted his hand under the child's head, picking it up, and gazing into his eyes. He saw the pale, blue-tinted, pupil-less eyes of the Byakugan.


Just to make sure that you all pick this up: the Kyuubi started trying to break out on Naruto's sixth birthday. The Hokage applied an additional twelve points onto his seal, bringing the total number of points up to twenty-two. This completely cut off most of the Kyuubi youki, removing most of the remnants in his body. This removed his whisker scars, and the youki that was suppressing his actual bloodline limit: the pupil-less eyes of the Byakugan.

Read and review, please!
