The Progenitor
I don't own Naruto
Naruto stared down at his 9 year old hands numbly down at his gloved hands from behind his gas mask before looking back to the old man, whom was also wearing protective gear, in his hospital room.
"Where am I where are they?" asked Naruto his eyes leaving the old man to look around his room with worry the sickly yellow-green melded into the blue near the edge of his iris.
Hiruzen sighed before looking down at his feet as he recalled his failure to keep his promise to Minato and Kushina their boy had been changed, manipulated, and broken.
Naruto had gotten up and was in front of Hiruzen tugging on his cloths softly backed up surprised that the person in the odd clothing didn't change like the others "W-what are you why aren't you changing?" Naruto's voice trembled as he backed away a look of fear in his eyes.
Hiruzen felt the guilt wash over him again as the boy backed away muttering incoherently under his breath as he cautiously backed into a corner of the room.
"I am Hiruzen I am the hokage of the leaf, your home." Hiruzen gave a sad stare as the boy refused to leave his corner.
"Home…my home?" asked Naruto "What is a home?" Naruto now held a look of interest.
Hiruzen nodded before speaking again "Yes Naruto a home, a place where you live."
Naruto looked down "Hey you didn't answer me though where are they?"
Hiruzen had a sneaking suspicion as to who or rather what he was referring to "Are you talking about the creatures you were found with?" Naruto nodded.
"They are family and I am scared because I can't feel them anymore and that means that I won't ever see them again." Naruto replied defensively.
Hiruzen cringed behind his mask before he lunged forward and gripped Naruto's hands as he tried to pull his mask off.
Naruto flinched against the old man's touch "Leave it on we don't know if what I have on currently is enough to survive an encounter with you."
Naruto raised an eyebrow from behind his mask his worry subsiding slightly as his curiosity grew "What are you talking about?"
Hiruzen sighed before relying as he kneeled to get eye level with Naruto "Naruto you have something know as a bloodline something that only you have."
Naruto tilled his head to the left and Hiruzen almost found it cute but the fact that this kid was involved in the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of people all be it civilians mostly but it under minded that thought all the same.
"What is a bloodline?" asked Naruto looking down at his hands as if looking for something out of the ordinary beneath the gloves.
Hiruzen shook his head "It's something in you and to be specific have a mutagenic bloodline…" Hiruzen paused trying to come up with a means to explain what he knew about Naruto's bloodline "Everything about you can change others Naruto in fact you mentioned it earlier when you touched me and if you and I weren't wearing this stuff I would have changed."
Hiruzen took a breath before continuing "Your entire body gives of something that changes what makes up others…and to a much smaller degree you and once you are older I will explain in greater detail but until then you need to stay in this hospital and try not to touch and or breath on anyone."
