I'm making fanfictions about Naruto having different bloodlines such as, Fuuton (Boil Release), Shōton (Crystal Release), Meiton (Dark Release), Bakuton (Explosion Release), Hyōton (Ice Release), Yōton (Lava Release), Shakuton (Scorch Release), Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse), Kōton (Steel Release), Ranton (Gale Style), Jinton (Swift Release), and Tenseigan (Reincarnation Eye). Since I'm doing Jiton (Magnet Release), and already have Legend of the Blind Ninja with Mokuton (Wood Release), so I'm down to two. If there's one you guys want me to do let me know.
He stared at the black ball in the palm of both his hands. He had no idea what it was or how he was doing it but that didn't matter all that much because it looked pretty cool. The boy, with blonde sun kiss hair, crystal clear blue eyes, three whisker marks on his face, wearing a long-sleeved black shirt, pants, and sandals. This boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Yoko. Naruto was currently standing outside of the orphanage focusing more on the black hovering ball in his hands as the rest of the children played away from him. He was aware the people of the village despised him, but he didn't really care about that because he had something else to worry about. Hence, why he was staring at the hovering black ball in his hands having absolutely no idea what to do with it or how he was creating it in the first place. And that worried him. What was he supposed to do with it? He had no idea. Sighing he dropped the black ball and watched it slither back up his shirt, that was another thing he couldn't understand. Where was it coming from?
Before he could think much about it he felt a wall of the black stuff shield him from something that was thrown from behind him. Looking over his shoulder in absolute shock he saw the black disintegrate revealing what looked to be a rock. The rock fell in the palm of his hands and once it did the rock became crushed particles in his hand. His gaze fell on the one that threw the rock making the assailant and the others around him flinch back in fear before they took off running inside.
Naruto didn't care and simply walked back inside the orphanage house heading towards his room thinking about how he did what he did just now. It made no sense. Opening the door to his room and sitting down on the bed he began to think, 'Something's not right. I was never able to do that before so why now? I don't know who to talk to about this either since the Hokage only comes here sometimes. I don't know what I'm supposed to do since I don't know how it works. Earlier it protected me from getting hit with a rock, but what else can it do?' he was brought out of his musings when the black stuff shot at something to his right making him blink in confusion not understanding why it happened again until he turned to his right to see the matron of the orphanage before him, her wrist held tightly by the black thing. He noticed she had a look of fear on her face, but another thought crossed his mind right now, 'Was she here this whole time?' looking over the woman's shoulder he saw one of the employers Natsume run into his room and started yelling at the woman not even caring about the black thing that was still gripping her wrist.
"What are you doing?! If you don't stop this right now I'm reporting you to Sandaime-sama!" Natsume yelled at the head matron. The employers here really seemed to care about him, so maybe he should try asking them about where this black stuff came from.
"Shut up! This demon needs to learn his lesson!" the head matron yelled back only to cry out in pain as she felt her wrist be gripped harder by the black substance.
Naruto frowned at the woman, "Don't yell at Natsume-san. I don't like it."
"I can say whatever I want to this demon loving-" the woman snarled only to cry out again and fell to her knees as her wrist was gripped even tighter to the point where it would be snapped.
"Apologize to Natsume-san. She's a nice person who doesn't deserved to be abused by someone like you." Naruto stared down at the woman who began crying. He was going to demand she apologize to Natsume again when the woman in question placed a gentle hand on his shoulder shaking her head.
"Its okay, Naruto-kun. Let her go." Natsume told him gently.
Naruto couldn't say no to the woman, out of all of the employers she was his favorite. Somehow he managed to get the black thing to let the monster woman's wrist go. The woman stayed down on her knees holding her wrist, the blonde boy got off the bed and went towards Natsume with a look of confusion, "Natsume-san, I don't understand what I did just now."
Natsume gave him a sad smile and bent down till she was eye leveled with him, "I know, don't worry Sandaime-sama might be able to help. Why don't we go see him?"
Naruto nodded in agreement, if anyone knew what to do it would be the old man.
Natsume and Naruto stood before the Hokage, the elderly man gave Naruto a gentle look as Natsume explained what happened at the orphanage.
"Naruto, could you show me this "black thing," as you call it." Hiruzen asked politely.
Naruto scrunched his face trying to figure out how to show him, but he brought his hands up to form the same black ball in between hands making the old man's face form a surprise look.
Hiruzen stared jaw slacked at what Naruto was doing, 'Satetsu (Iron Sand)?! But how?!' he could not for the life of him figure out how Naruto managed to awaken such a rare Kekkei Genkai, well rare in Konoha but not for Suna. As far as he knew neither Kushina nor Minato had such a bloodline so how in the world…? Clearing his throat he asked that Natsume leave the room, she did but not before giving Naruto a hug which he returned as she left the office. Hiruzen turned his full attention to Naruto now, "Naruto, I want you to listen to me very carefully, okay?"
Naruto nodded, "I'm listening, Hokage-jiji."
The old man chuckled at the nickname, "Naruto my boy, that black thing is called Satetsu (Iron Sand)."
"Satetsu (Iron Sand)? What's that?" Naruto tilted his head.
"It's part of a Kekkei Genkai known as Jiton (Magnet Release) that's normally common in Sunagakure no Sato, in fact their Third Kazekage wielded it before he disappeared." Hiruzen informed him.
Naruto's eyes lighted up a little, "So…I have a Kekkei Genkai that's common in Sunagakure no Sato and the Third Kazekage wielded it?"
"That's right." Hiruzen nodded.
Naruto looked down, "But I don't know how to use it, it moves on its own to protect me but that's all."
Hiruzen smiled, "With training you can learn to control it, in fact I will be assigning you teachers to help you out with that actually. For each day I will assign a different teacher to you and they will help you not only control your Satetsu, but they will tutor you in other things."
Naruto smiled, "I…I want to surpass the Third Kazekage and my Iron Sand the greatest."
The old man chuckled, "I know you will."
The first teacher Naruto had for the next day was an ANBU operative named Tenzo. After he was set up in a new living place which was an apartment complex having left the orphanage. He said goodbye to Natsume and the other employees while ignoring the head woman and the other children who he didn't really care for all that much anyway. Now he was facing Tenzo an ANBU member who also possessed a Kekkei Genkai that was different from his but it would help him with control so he didn't complain.
"Listen well Naruto," Tenzo said, "For today we'll work on controlling your Satetsu."
Naruto looked eager, "Hai, Tenzo-nii-chan."
Tenzo froze for a minute and Naruto thought he had insulted the man until he felt positive and happy emotions rolling off of him.
'Maybe I should call him that from now on. He seems to like it.' He thought.
Yamato meanwhile was grinning from ear to ear when the boy called him "nii-chan." Oh he could not wait to rub this in Kakashi's face sometime in the near future. Regaining his composure he began speaking again, "Right, well as I was saying a Kekkei Genkai for the very first time takes lots of control as well as practice. As I'm sure you know we have clans here that have their own unique Kekkei Genkai."
Naruto nodded his head, he remembered the old man telling him about the Aburame, Yamanaka, Nara, Inuzuka, Uchiha, Hyūga, and Akimichi. There were some minor clans living here too, but he'll learn about them later.
"Before we begin, I want to see how well you can control your Satetsu." Tenzo said.
Naruto nodded then lifted his arm up and sure enough black sand came out from underneath him simply moving about doing nothing at all.
Tenzo nodded his head, "Good so far, okay try aiming for that tree."
Naruto flicked his wrist as the iron sand shot towards the tree slamming into it before it stopped and returned to the blonde. Both of them noticed a hole in the tree showing just how hard the iron is.
"Hey, Tenzo-nii-chan?" Naruto got the man's attention.
"Yes?"
"Is that supposed to happen?"
"Well…in a way, yes. Anyway, I think you got the control part down. Question is…how exactly are we going to make sure you have all of your black sand stored up?" Tenzo wondered.
Naruto was wondering the same thing. He was also wondering exactly where the hell the stuff was coming from.
Tenzo got an idea and brought out a small water gourd that was empty, meaning it hadn't even been used yet, "We can use this for now until we can get you something that's exactly your size."
Naruto's eyebrow twitched, "Well excuse me for being small for my age."
Tenzo snorted and rubbed the blonde's head, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hit a growth spurt soon."
An evil grin appeared on Naruto's face as he used the black sand to toss Tenzo in the lake that was near them. The man rose above the water and sent a mocking glare towards the boy who simply smiled, "What's wrong, Tenzo-nii-chan?"
'I'll definitely get payback for this!' Tenzo thought.
Naruto's next teacher was a woman named Yugao, who had a motherly aura around her that screamed protective and deadly at the same time. He should know, because he can feel her emotions easily. For today they weren't working on control but basic history, which is why he was sitting in her living room with another occupant by the name of Hayate who he assumed to be her lover.
"Make sure you pay attention Naruto-kun, you need to know this before you enter the Academy." Yugao lectured.
"Okay, Yugao-nee-san." Naruto smiled.
"Good." Yugao said going into full-blown lecture mode prompting the blonde to take notes without being told to. The blonde was finding this information to be interesting, a little boring maybe, but still interesting. When it was time to take a break the blonde asked if they could go out to eat and the two adults agreed. Walking through the village streets were less than pleasant because of all the whispering and pointing in the blonde's direction. Yugao was worried Naruto would be affected by this and unknown to her the blonde was aware of the whispering he just didn't really care much about it, especially now since he was really hungry. He knew everyone in the village hated him and sure he was sad about it at first, but after hearing the same old things over and over again, the whispering and glares, sensing their negative emotions, he started…getting bored. If they were going to act like bullies then he saw no reason to try and be nice to them. He stopped in his tracks having smelled something really good, turning his head to the right he walked into the establishment. The stool was pretty high, but me managed to get up on it and sit down followed by Yugao and Hayate who sat on either side of him.
"Welcome!" Teuchi appeared from the back.
"Yo." Naruto greeted.
Teuchi laughed, "What would you like?"
Naruto looked at the menu and spotted pork-flavored ramen, "This one." he pointed.
"Oh, pork flavored ramen, huh? Good choice!" Teuchi grinned.
"Thank you…uh…"
"You can call me Teuchi!" Teuchi said.
"Teuchi-san." Naruto smiled liking the old man's positive aura, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
"Welcome, Naruto! Feel free to come here anytime you like!" Teuchi said preparing the boy's ramen.
"Thanks." The blonde replied.
Having ramen for the very first time was the best thing in Naruto's life! Why you ask? Simple. The ramen tasted amazing! Like it was food from the gods! And he got to eat it!
"So good~" Naruto moaned, "I want more please!"
"Coming right up!" Teuchi was already on it.
Yugao giggled, "Looks like Teuchi has a favorite customer."
Hayate nodded while drinking some tea.
Hiruzen was in his office having just finished another round of paperwork when Tenzo walked in, "Ah, Tenzo. How was Naruto's training session with you?"
"It went really well," Yamato reported, "His control over Satetsu was pretty impressive for someone his age, unfortunately I didn't know where else to begin but guide him in how to properly control it. I don't have the faintest clue in how to teach him any jutsu's."
"Hmmm," Hiruzen had a thought, "I have a suggestion that I'm entrusting you with."
"A suggestion?" Yamato questioned.
"Yes, I'm thinking about having Naruto spend about 4 years in Sunagakure in order to help better control his Satetsu as well as learn some jutsu that will help. If we're lucky once they see him use it someone there will teach him how to use the sand." Hiruzen thought.
Yamato thought about it, "Its not a bad idea, he's 4 years old right now and since he'll be staying in Sunagakure for 4 years that means he'll be 8 years old when he returns to the village."
"That's right, once he returns I'll enroll him in the Academy." Hiruzen said.
"What do you think the council will do once you tell them about this?" Yamato asked.
"Hmph, what makes you think I'll tell them anything about this?" Hiruzen took out his pipe.
"Eh…?" Yamato blinked.
Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe, "I'm the Hokage meaning my word is law, not theirs. I'm also under no obligation to inform them of his Kekkei Genkai either, and if they so much as complain well…there's a reason I'm known as the Shinobi no Kami (God of Shinobi)."
Yamato said nothing as he stood there, 'I'm glad I won't be on the other end of that threat.'
Hiruzen coughed into his fist, "Anyway, you'll be going with him to Sunagakure no Sato seeing as how the boy responds positively to you more than Yugao and Hayate."
"He does?" Yamato blinked.
"Of course. He calls you "nii-chan," Tenzo. That means the boy sees you as a positive male figure that he can look up to and depend on no matter what." Hiruzen smiled.
Yamato couldn't help the smile that spread to his face, being called a brother figure had made him feel really good.
"You and Naruto will be heading out to Sunagakure no Sato starting in two weeks," Hiruzen informed him, "I've already sent a letter to Rasa letting him know."
"Yes sir." Yamato saluted.
"Sunagakure no Sato?" Naruto blinked.
Yamato nodded, "That's right, Hokage-sama believes it to be a good idea because there's a chance someone there will help train you with your Satetsu while I train you in other areas."
Naruto looked down for a moment, "Does this mean I'll be leaving the village…?"
Yamato saw the boy was struggling with his emotions when it came to the village, and sympathized with him, "Yes, for 4 years. Once you return you'll be entered into the Academy."
Naruto didn't really want to leave the village because Hokage-jiji, Yugao-san, Hayate-san, Teuchi-oji-san, and Ayame-nee-san. On the other hand…he'll be out of the village and away from the villagers for 4 years, not to mention he could make new friends in Suna so this might be a good thing. Lifting his head up he looked Yamato in the eye and nodded, "I'll go, but I want to say goodbye to everyone first."
"Sounds fair." Yamato agreed.
Naruto returned the hug Yugao gave him as he and Yamato were at the gates of Konoha. Two weeks went by in a flash, and in all that time he enjoyed every minute of it. His days with Yugao and Hayate helped him learn more about the history of Konoha, not only that but they taught him other things too, like proper manners. Yugao made it perfectly clear that he needed to learn this, and since he really liked her he didn't complain anymore. He went to see Teuchi again too and met his daughter Ayame who hugged him the first time she saw him rubbing against his cheek and everything, she even insisted he call her "nee-chan" therefore he did. It made it really hard to leave but he knew he had to. He packed all his things a week earlier, and after that he said goodbye to Teuchi, Ayame, Yugao, and Hayate. Teuchi and Ayame both gave him a hug and told him to send them letters everyday to let them know how he's doing which he promised he'd do. Yugao told him to make sure he eats healthy, gets some goodnight sleep and send her and Hayate letters everyday too. Once that was done he went to see the old man to say goodbye, since he was the last one. The old man gave him a hug and book too that had the label "Iryō Ninjutsu" then some books on Futon, Raiton, Katon, Suiton, Doton, and Fūinjutsu. Yamato took the items and placed them in a backpack that he gave to Naruto to carry.
So here they are now, at the village gates of Konoha getting ready to head out, but before they could leave Yugao gave him one last hug with Hayate standing by her side rubbing his head with such affection.
"Do you have everything?" Yugao asked.
"I do."
"Promise to write?"
"Yes."
"Eat healthy?"
"Promise."
Hayate fought the urge to smile, she acting like a mother which wasn't really all that new but it was still fun to see her become such a mother hen to not just Naruto but to the people around her. Yugao reluctantly moved away from the little blonde then looked at Yamato, "Make sure you take care of him Tenzo."
"You have my word that I will." Yamato will make sure to keep Naruto safe, "We should be going now."
"Right, take care Naruto. Next time we see you, you'll be stronger than you are now." Hayate smiled.
Naruto smiled, "See you guys in 4 years."
And with that, the two departed from Konoha, never to return until 4 years later. Once those 4 years have passed, this village will see a new Naruto whether they liked it or not.
Next Time: Sunagakure no Sato
