The Blood Line-Chapter 2

AN: I forgot to mention that this Naruto is a bit dark and gets a bit darker the farther the story goes. He does kill but not always.

Some where in the Iron Nation's ice plains-

"Looks like a good place to set up camp Naruto." Sakura hinted to Naruto who was standing in the knee deep snow and was looking out over the horizon at a small camp full of thugs. "Yeah. I guess your right." He said while turning back and walking over the a lump of snow and channeled a loosely packed Rasengaun and smashed it lightly into the ground clearing the snow and forming a decent hole to keep the warm during the night. The cold and the rushing wind made it difficult to keep fires going plus the smoke would give them away to the bandits. Everyone placed their luggage next to the entrance to the small crater, then walked in with the blanket and pillow that was kept in the upper part of the bags they all carried. Lee along with Naruto sat on one side with their legs facing Sakura and Hinata at the other to avoid awkwardness.

The middle of the night-

Naruto had opened his eyes from one of his nightmares he had gotten form the immense hatred the fox gave off. He stood slowly as to not wake anybody and slowly walked out into the frozen wind until the camp wasn't visible anymore. As he kept going he looked around for a wide and open place. After about ten minutes of walking he saw a frozen over lake and walked to the center and sat criss cross on the cool ice. He began channeling his chakra and focusing on his bloods natural flow of chakra. 'Let's see what Hashirama's Jutsu looks like.' He thought to himself as he slammed his fingers together at incredible speeds going through nearly twenty or so signs and slamming his palm into the ground. At first nothing happened and Naruto questioned himself and stood the walk back. As he drew a step an enormous spike of wood shot up from under his feet smashing and separating the ice. The branch was massive nearly thirty feet in diameter and flew high before all around Naruto more branches shot out and rose into the air. As the ice began to break Naruto jumped form ice berg to ice berg. When he reached the bank he turned to see the wood had formed an immense Buddha with a large lantern and some six or so arms. "Holy crap!" He shouted before forming an immense Rasengaun with the help of the clone however this Rasengaun kept drawing form his blood line and had a greenish tint instead of the basic blue Rasengaun. He watched as the ball vibrated with more energy than ever before and ad the rotating paths of chakra became unstable then form back into grain patterns. He felt confident with this new ability and charged at the statue. 'If anyone finds out about this I'm screwed. The bandits will know we're here and worst of all the village might find out that I have a form of wood release.' He thought in terror as he jumped from the ice berg near the bank and into the air. As his body came down on the creation his Rasengaun made contact and completely and utterly destroyed everything it touched. Blasting its way through the wood and slamming into the ground forming a loud bang and an immense flash of light as it pushed the rushing wind back. The final impact engulfed the lake ten times over and left Naruto's arm red and his jacket's sleeve ravished and torn. The blond sat there in a small bit of pain and in a large amount of thought. 'Holy crap that's scary!' He thought to himself. After another ten minutes of him pondering new techniques and different Jutsu he could do he stood and remembered that Hashirama told to keep it secret and that it was dangerous for him to use it untrained. He cocked his head and popped his back and began his journey back to the cave but as he stepped out on to the surface of the edge of the massive crater he was confronted by Hinata. She had woke up form the crash and saw that Naruto was gone and chased after him with out alerting the others. Naruto was shocked that Hinata had followed him there and walked towards her. She winced and stepped back. "What was that just now?" She yelled at him. Naruto was again shocked at her intense tone and stuttered back. "Its my uh…. A new trick I uh.. learned while training in Sage mode." He smiled and nodded after he said it and waited for the response. "That wasn't Sage mode. If it was why didn't you use during your fight with pain?" She said angrily. "Fine! Fine! Stop yelling would you? And by the way what's got you so angry?" He said while throwing his hands up. "I hate to see you hurt and whatever that was could have saved not only you but Jiraiya." When she said that Naruto stopped in place and his expression fell flat and he stared coldly into her. "N-Naruto I'm sorry I didn't mean it. Truly I'm sorry, please forgive me." She squealed as tears formed at her eyes. She had thrown herself at him to calm him down but was brushed off when he went to walk towards the cave. Hinata stood there watching Naruto walk calmly and with out a soul back to the cave. She cleared her tears before taking off after him. When she finally reached the camp she looked around but saw that his stuff along with himself had disappeared. She fell to her knees and began sobbing softly to herself until she fell asleep.

The next morning-

Birds were chirping and flying fast off into the distance as a loud crash broke the silence waking Lee and Sakura who stood quickly. The both saw an immense pillar of smoke rising from the bandit camp. They both woke Hinata and rushed towards the camp.

"Shadow clone Jutsu!" Roared Naruto as fifty clones appeared behind him and rushed towards a group of sixty men with huge Rasengauns in their hands. When close enough the pairs threw each other at the men slamming Rasengauns into the crowd wrecking and destroying the enemy and the area around them leaving only a few dead corpse and some disembodied organs. Hinata along with Sakura gasped at the sight of Naruto murdering the bandits like it was nothing. Lee however closed his eyes and approached the blond. "Naruto stop this killing this isn't necessary. We don't have to do this." Lee said while he put up his arms in a fighting position. "Oh? Come now Lee you're going to fight me over some low life bandits? That's a bit rash don't you think?" Naruto said in a mocking tone. Lee gave one of those all life is precious speeches before charging Naruto. Naruto stood calmly with his blank stare from last night. As Lee approached Naruto exploded in energy pushing himself into Sage mode except this time it was in a hyper state from his awakened blood line which connected him to nature even more. Where his eyes had the orange liner was now black tears along with strange markings from the Fox's chakra infused into it. Lee jumped and spun before breaking into a drop kick which was caught effortlessly by Naruto's new Sage mode. Naruto still had the same blank expression before he slammed Lee into the ground. While Lee was mesmerized by the harsh impact Naruto held out his hand and formed one of the green nature Rasengauns and went to slam it into Lee. Lee however vanished as he passed through the six gate and sped back. "You guys go finish off the bandits I have him covered. Let's just hope he snaps out of it soon." Lee said to the girls as Naruto looked up and teleported into him with the ball which ruptured on Lee's arm and completely obliterated it. Lee roared out in pain before moving fast enough for his body to catch a flame and sending multiple kicks into Naruto's stomach and sending him flying back into one of the destroyed buildings the bandits were using. Lee grasped his arm which was only attached by a dangling tendon. He took the bandages from his wrist and wrapped it firm around the arm and readied for Naruto. The shack that Naruto landed exploded sending chunks of debris flying around the camp. All that stood there was Naruto in a new Sage mode stance and covered in a small faint Nine tails chakra cloak. His new Sage mode was completely dark except for solid green eyes. Naruto went for a step and immediately slammed his entire body into Lee which sent I'm skipping across the ice tundra and into the immense crater that was formed from the night before. As the dust cleared Lee laid on his back and thought to himself. 'The nature chakra is taking over. That's not Naruto anymore.'

Meanwhile-

Sakura punched one bandit in the mouth sending him into another bandit and leaving both incapacitated. Hinata had formed a perfect stance and deflected along with took out twelve guys with swords and some kunia. Both girls quickly made their way through the camp until confronted by the bandit chief's hut which had dozens of men with weapons and Jutsu ready for battle. Sakura jumped into the air and slammed her fist into the ground applying her Cherry Blossom Jutsu as she caused a massive fissure that rose form the ground and smashed a few bandits. Hinata ran in between the men and quickly and effortlessly made waste to dozens of the men as she passed by them. They both took out all but about five of the men until the chief came out from his hut. "What is this?" the tall and muscular man said in a joking tone. "Who are you fine ladies. And what may I help you with." He said as if they weren't breaking his men like they were twigs. Hinata had finished the rest of the men before responding with "We are here for the Iron Nation justice division. We have been hired to take out the infestation of bandits in this area." She said while gaining control of her breathing. "Oh really? Well seems me and my boys have to fight for our right to stay. Okay very well come at me with all you have because we aren't leaving." He said in a more serious tone than before.

Meanwhile elsewhere-

Lee had been pushing himself to keep even remotely close to Naruto's speed. Naruto would teleport and slam an attack then teleport and come from the other side with another attack. Lee had happen to see the pattern that Naruto was attacking in but still couldn't do much in terms of defending against them. Naruto eventually stopped and appeared in the center of the crater. He was still and collected but still possessed by the natures chakra. Lee had appeared as well but a few yards away from Naruto and fell to one knee as he held his right side as Naruto had hit it with one of the nature Rasengauns. He also had blood running slowly down his face and across his forehead. Naruto raised his hands out like that of a cross and his head began twitching as massive tendrils of wood shot form the ground and rushed at Lee. Lee even though he had been injured and in his sixth gate could easily dodge these tendrils. As he kept dodging various wooden Jutsu he noticed that Naruto was standing still and open. Lee took this opportunity and rushed Naruto ad used a technique that he learned from Neji and poked a pressure point the completely shut down the chakra flow. Naruto instantly exploded in a cloud of black and transformed back to normal and dropped to the ground in a slumber. Lee had also fallen back and closed his gates returning to normal and felling the full force of his injuries. Now both teens lay there in the crater with massive tendrils of wood surrounding them asleep.

Back to Sakura and Hinata-

Hinata had activated her twin lion fists and charged at the chief but every strike was simply caught by a simple flat palm in a hive five fashion. The man laughed as Sakura was passed out on the ground with black marks up and down her body and blood pouring out of her arm. Hinata was also injured with some black marks of her own across her body and blood dripping down her forehead. "Magnet Release: Great Cage" The man yelled as large plates of metal shot up form the ground and crushed into a ball around Hinata trapping her inside. The man leaned over and picked the heavy ball of steel up and slammed it into the ground before roaring another Jutsu and crushing Hinata into the ground. She screamed out in pain but was soon tuned out by the silence of her passing out. By that time Naruto walked up carrying Lee over his shoulder. Lee was conscious but in no shape to fight so Naruto laid his next to Sakura and stood in front of the man. "What are you this girls boyfriend?" The man joked before Naruto unleashed a powerful uppercut into his jaw. "Oh you'll have to do better than that boy." The man said as he pulled his head back down onto Naruto's fist sending the blond into the ground. As Naruto stood back up in a daze from the counter attack the man spoke again. "I am Ninato Akatski the second eldest son of the Akatski family. We have been famous blacksmiths in the Iron Nation for as long as the family has existed. We also posses what is known as Magnet Release or metal Jutsu." he spoke confidently. Naruto merely wiped his face and spat the blood on his lip in the man's face. "I don't give a damn who you are you will release Hinata and leave the Iron Nation you rat." Naruto said. The man grew red with anger and exploded out with metal shards rising from the ground and smashing into Naruto. "And what if I don't boy?" He said while Naruto got back up. "Then I'll make you?" He growled as he channeled his chakra. Whiskers formed on his face and a faint cloak of the Khurama's chakra grew around him. He also entered his new black Chakra Sage mode which only covered his eyes and his cheeks. Naruto stood forward and slashed his arm side ways in front of himself causing multiple wooden tendrils to burst form the ground and began running towards Ninato. As the tendril drew close Ninato slashed them away with some metal he formed to the contours of his arms forming large claws and armor for his arms. Naruto slammed a mighty punch into Ninato's right arm sending him sliding back with no harm. "See boy nothing you can do can hurt me!" Growled Ninato as he drew two immense piles of metal form the ground and formed to huge hammers and grabbed each with one hand. "Time to end this silly game." He said while charging at Naruto at an unbelievable speed and slamming his hammer down into the blond and spinning slamming the other one deep into Naruto's chest send int the teen skipping and flipping across the camp until stopping himself in a wooden hand that he summoned form the ground. 'Ow that hurts bad. I gotta try that new Rasengaun I've been thinking of.' Naruto thought to himself before he stood out of the hand and charged his own Rasengaun. Ninato had walked around the corner of the buildings to see Naruto standing there holding his Jutsu. Lee had followed to see the fight."I've told you boy your weak Jutsu won't work on me." Ninato boasted as he watched Naruto with curiosity. All most as if on queue Naruto shot form the hand like a speeding bullet with a new Rasengaun that was pure green and had a wooden ribcage holding it together. "Nature's Heart Rasengaun!" Naruto yelled as he flew at Ninato. Ninato mimicked the Jutsu he used on Hinata and contained Naruto in a metal shell which slowly stopped about five feet form Ninato. As Ninato walked closer he placed his leg on top of the ball. "See kid I'm just too powerful for you. Why doesn't the great Iron Nation send someone worth a fight my way." He chuckled before a ting came form the ball and it erupted out as a large wooded fox tail shot trough the hull followed by eight more and then Naruto screaming as he slammed his powerful new Rasengaun into the chest of Ninato. The both sat there for a second in a clash of will power before a Huge wooden nine tailed beast appeared behind Naruto and spun slashing its tails against Ninato breaking his guard and allowing Naruto to blast a hole straight through his body. Leaving nothing more than a dead body with out a heart. Naruto stood up straight and was in a wooden construct on the nine tails chakra cloak. He was waring it like a suit and flexed causing it the crack and fall off to the ground and the colossal raging beast behind him to vanish as well. He walked over to Lee and said "Keep this between us for now okay?". Naruto then proceed the form a group of wooden claws around his hand and stabbed them into the metal shell Hinata was in and ripped it open revealing her asleep and struggling for air. "These shells are air tight so you could suffocate in them." He said out load as he pulled her close to himself and slung her over his back and walked up to Sakura. She was already woken up by Lee which had somewhat healed during the fight by using some basic healing Jutsu he learned in school. She had been asking him about the fight when Naruto came up to them both. Lee answered with a vague "Naruto came and fought the chief, who's name happened to be Ninato.". Sakura surprisingly with out question accepted the answer and the group began their walk through the heavy snow towards the camp site to gather their gear.

When walking back to camp Naruto fell back due to a limp that formed during the trip back from some swelling in his right leg. When Sakura and Lee were far enough ahead he stopped and placed his coat down and then laid Hinata on it to keep her from the wet snow. He pulled up his pant leg revealing a large red paw imprint. "What's that?" Hinata questioned Naruto which caught him on surprise. "Oh this? It's just something that showed up during my childhood. During the fight I think I tapped into it and summoned a Nine Tails minion out of wood." He said not paying attention. "Wood?" Hinata asked him with a confused face. "It's complicated so I'll tell you later." He said before letting his pants leg settle back down to his ankle. "I'm sorry Naruto. I had a nightmare about you, Kakashi, and Jiraiya were all dead. I shouldn't have brought Jiraiya's death up." She was interrupted by Naruto pressing her into him hugging her tight. "No I'm sorry I lost my cool. I nearly killed Lee if it weren't for me being so stupid all the time." He said with his voice full of emotion. Hinata merely pressed herself back and placed her forehead against his. "You're not stupid Naruto." She said before giving him a kiss. "I thinks Sakura and Lee are waiting on us." Naruto said sheepishly as he stood with a red face and helped Hinata stand up. He placed his coat back on and together they traveled back to the small crater they call a camp.

A few days later-

'Naruto reporting in form the first bandit camp already that's assuring.'Thought the Chiefs that were in charge of the rebuilding of the Hidden Leaf Village. As the team walked up the rows of tents that were set up they were greeted by various villagers and congratulated on their hasty work. "Good job ninja. We the chiefs thank you and hope that after a few days rest you can make us proud again." Said the head of the chiefs. "Yes sir." Nodded Naruto as the group broke away and went to one of the fire pits for lunch. Hinata and Naruto had grown much closer as they traveled back to village as Lee had fully recovered from the fight with Naruto and held no resentment only fear for if he were to turn on the village no one could stop him. Sakura had been practicing her healing Jutsu on Lee on the way back. Naruto and Hinata were talking and eating as well as talking and joking with Sakura. Lee had taken his to go as he visited Guy. Guy welcomed Lee into his tent and the too caught up on the trip.

Later that night-

Naruto had broken form the group to train in I new abilities. He found a secluded region of the forest and sat meditating. When he appeared in his inner mind he was greeted by Hashirama who congratulated him on his victory over Ninato and Hinata. Naruto was questioning some things on wood release before Hashirama told him that he not only had wood release but wood is only obtained with perfect balance of Water and Earth chakra. Naruto was delighted when he heard he had the affinities and was given a normal water dragon and rock crusher Jutsu from his great grandfather. It was also explained that he now had access to new forms of Sage mode three to be exact. Attack, Defense, and Nine tailed mode. The Nine Tailed beast had a major effect on the Sage mode and the blood line sense they were both awakened while he was in the chakra cloak. After Naruto had enough lessons he thanked Hashirama and returned to his tent which upon his arrival had Hinata waiting for him.

"Whats up Hinata?" Naruto asked as he entered his tent. "Nothing just thought I'd come visit you." She said while standing and bowing. "Oh well that's very nice of you and I love that you would but I need to rest since I'm going to train tomorrow." He said sheepishly as he sat on the bed. "Oh well can I stay and talk till you fall asleep?" She asked which Naruto being a nice guys agreed and laid down. Hinata sat in the small stool next to he bed which was fairly comfortable. They were both talking about how in the sat Naruto used to be so determined to become Hokage and now hes more interested in becoming himself than anything. They also talked about how Hinata wanted to be him and next to him as a child and now gets to live her childhood dream. They even covered the fight with Pain and why she went out there and the injuries she obtained defending Naruto. The kept talking until Naruto fell asleep.

When Naruto woke up he went to stand but felt something heavy holding him down. When he opened his eyes he saw Hinata had passed out in his bed instead of walking back to her own tent. He laughed quietly at her then stood and brushed himself off before walking out and into the training fields. He summoned two shadow clones which spun chakra in his hand and he threw a wind style Rasengaun. When he threw it, it was more powerful than ever before. 'Seems my blood line affects all affinities. Neat' He thought to himself before spawning several dozen clones. They all attacked him at once. He quickly dodged and weaved through attacks and attacking himself before jumping back and trying his new Water Style: Water Hydra Jutsu. As he did the hand signs and added chakra a colossal three headed dragon came from now where and smashed through the clones. He also did his new Earth Style: Colossal Crusher. Which when chakra was added he made two enormous chunks of rock rise across form each other into the air and slam together then compact. After all clones were defeated he returned for breakfast and meet up with Sakura, Lee, and Hinata who was happier than usual. Probably form sleeping with Naruto. The group ate before they were given their next assignment.

AN: Weird way to end it I know, but there wasn't much more to include in this chapter. If you don't understand the magnet release or how earth and water create wood pm me and I'll be happy to explain. Since there is a part in the series that talks about those with earth and water affinities could possibly create wood release for a short time.
