As with all fan fiction writers I do not Naruto or any of the material I try to pay homage to with my story.

Chapter 1 Pain

Pain, that was the first thing he knew as his senses began to function again. 'So it happened again' he thought as his mind began to process his situation.

Light, it seemed to shine on him so bright even with his eyes closed it pained them.

Smell, the antiseptic odor of the hospital filtered into his nostrils.

Sound, the steady beep of the heart monitor confirming his location. Faint voices filtered to him from near by. "He is stable from the beating but I find no trace of the poison," came the diagnosis.

"And I'm telling you that is not possible. I found him with the kuni burred in his gut," an angry woman hissed.

"The poison on this kuni would be attacking his muscles including the heart but there is no trace in any of the muscle groups of his body," came the reply of the medic.

A thud resounded through the room. "Are you sure your not trying to get rid of him by letting the poison take its course?" came the woman's voice in a low deadly tone.

"Cat, calm down and let the man down," an authoritative voice demanded. "Now I have a possible idea of why you have found no trace. Direct your scans instead to the area of his appendix," came the calm steady response.

"Sir?" came the medics voice in a questioning tone. "This is a muscle toxin as I told the anbu. It should have no affect on a useless organ like the appendix," he continued.

"Humor me," came his answer in a tone that brooked no argument.

Touch, Warm hands were placed on his abdomen and a tingling sensation spread from them.

"I don't understand this but the poison is there and seems to have been placed in a state of suspension. The appendix it's self is far larger than normal and I'm detecting numerous other toxins and chemical compounds there as well," The medic finally stated as he removed his hands.

"What does this mean sir," queried the voice of the cat anbu.

"Hmm," The elder whom the boy began to recognize responded. "It seems he has his mother's ability meaning it can now be recognized as a kekkei genkai."

"Jiji," the boy called out as he began to come fully awake.

"Ah he seems to be coming around," the elder stated

"But sir the amount of sedatives I gave him should have kept him asleep for at least another day," the panicking medic stated.

"Hmm, yes. We had the same problem with her till she learned to control it," stated the old man as a hand came to rest on the pained boys head. "Rest now Naruto. We will talk when you are healed," and with that a new tingle came and Naruto drifted back into blackness.


AN: Well this is my first fan fiction. This is only the beginning and I hope you continue to read and review as I unfold that which my muse has given unto me to share with you.
