Naruto Divided
Jiraiya stood over the sleeping body of a young child. The child was the son of his late student and the heiress of the Uzumaki clan. Both died protecting their new born son and the village they both cherished.
"Jiraiya, how is this possible?" Asks another older man.
"I don't know sensei. You know as well as I do that Minato was an orphan" Jiraiya responds.
"I know that Jiraiya, but the Hyūga keep strict check of any and all members of their clan. If one of them went off the reservation and mated with anyone that wasn't one of their clan they probably would have had that person, their mate, and the child killed" Sarutobi says.
"I know … the only thing I can think of is that it was a repressed gene that was carried through one of his ancestors and somehow chose to activate in the boy" Jiraiya says.
"Then what about him turning to smoke, surely Minato couldn't have genes of the Iburi Clan as well as the genes of the Hyūga Clan hidden inside of him" Sarutobi questions.
Before Jiraiya could respond a new voice enters the conversation.
"That would be my doing"
"Danzō what the hell did you do" Sarutobi says angrily.
"Calm down Hiruzen, I merely injected several vials of blood we seized from one of Orochimaru's hidden laboratories, they contained the blood of several clans in and out of Konoha. As you know the blood of the Iburi can be transferred along with their ability to someone not of the clan through a blood transfusion. I had no idea it would actually become apart of the boy resulting in him permanently having that clans bloodline" Danzō explains.
"Danzō I have overlooked many of the despicable things that you have done in the past …" Sarutobi starts.
"I would think you would be happy about this Hiruzen" Danzō interjects.
"Happy! You know the Iburi clan has a major weakness that's fatal, why the hell would I want that to happen to Naruto?" Sarutobi questions.
"Sensei, it's already been done … regardless of his motives I admit if it's stronger and stable it could be a strong advantage for the kid" Jiraiya chimes in.
"Not you too Jiraiya-kun, I thought you especially would be upset about this" Sarutobi says.
"I am upset, but with the rumored kekkei genkai of the Uzumaki clan the bloodline should stabilize to something even greater than even the strongest member of the Iburi clan could have ever imagined. Plus, he has that insane healing ability so I don't think the weakness of the Iburi will affect him" Jiraiya speculates.
"Exactly, that's why I did it. The boy needs every advantage he can get if he is to become the next champion of the village" Danzō adds.
Sarutobi thinks about it before he has to agree not that he likes it.
"Fine, but this is your last warning Danzō to never do this again or I will have you spend the rest of your days in Blood Prison" Sarutobi threatens.
"Hai, Hokage-sama" Danzō replies satisfied.
"So the boy has the blood of Minato, the Uzumaki's, the Iburi, and the Hyūga clans flowing through his veins …" Sarutobi summarizes.
"Unless you've done something else to the boy Danzō …" Jiraiya says while staring through the elder councilman.
"I have not" Danzō replies.
'Although I was tempted' he thinks, but doesn't voice.
Orochimaru had been studying up on all the clans known and unknown, deceased and alive. When his laboratories were unearthed much of the research was destroyed or compromised. Still there were several vials containing substances of unknown source and papers detailing some of the vile things the Snake Sannin had done while still being apart of the village.
"What do we do sensei? If the Hyūga find out about this they'll never stop until Naruto is branded with that evil seal and forced to serve their clan or die" Jiraiya worries.
Sarutobi and Danzō had already thought about that. There really was only one choice.
"Jiraiya, I hate to do it, but you have to seal it away" Hiruzen orders.
"What!?" Shouted Jiraiya not believing what he was hearing.
"I understand your concerns, but unless you want him to literally become a slave no one can know of Naruto's true heritage or bloodlines" Sarutobi explains.
"But, to do that to him … it could have unexpected consequences" Jiraiya warns.
"I understand that, but it has to be done for his sake as well as that of the village" Sarutobi says.
Jiraiya reluctantly agrees and later that night Naruto is sedated and his bloodlines sealed including a few that they didn't know about because they hadn't revealed themselves yet.
From then on Sarutobi kept a closer eye on Naruto to make sure the seal stayed intact and that it didn't compromise the other seal on his body, which thankfully it didn't. Unfortunately there was a side effect.
Naruto's mind was affected by the sealing it seems causing him to lose much of the potential he possessed and basically making him into a moron that dressed in brightly colored clothing. Thankfully Sarutobi had managed to dissuade him from wearing a white/yellow combination that would have been suicide for a ninja … unfortunately the color he refused to part with was orange.
Still, everyone remained unaware of the boy's true potential and thanks to Naruto's behavior no one bothered to notice that anything was off about him until nearly a decade later.
Okay, first off I want to say thanks for reading the start of my new story. Unfortunately I'm stuck, have been stuck, and continue to be stuck. So I thought release another story idea. It's not a new idea sadly, but it's something to get my gears working again. I have a few others I may release to try to get back on track. Sorry for all of this I know how frustrated some of you must be with me. I'm still trying to get past this blockage and continue my other stories.
Anyway, let me know what you think. Also, I'm willing to listen to any ideas for a 3rd bloodline Naruto will have in this story.
