At the end, there is an explanation of the relationship between Asura's power of the body, Hashirama, Mokuton and Naruto. I have 300 followers, but little comments(sigh).

Anyway, let us raise the stakes for Naruto.I always say this since most people don't want to understand, it's way too easy for me to write an OP character but it takes the thrill out of the story.

"What I want, the heavens shall not lack!

What I don't want, had better not exist in the heavens!

My name is Meng Hao! The ninth generation demon sealer and I shall seal the Heavens, LIKE A DEMON" - Meng Hao, the Demon.

Naruto, 7 years old.

"Konoha is one of the five great hidden villages, the first village of shinobi to have ever been formed. It was formed after two of the strongest clans known, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan tired of the constant fighting amongst them, decided to form an alliance. After forming the alliance, other clans joined in and together established a relationship with the Daimyo of Land of Fire…." Naruto listened on Iruka who was lecturing on the shinobi history.

This year, about twenty new students enrolled. Most are kids with shinobi parents while seven of them are the heirs of Konoha's prestigious clans. They all looked cool but Naruto wasn't interested in trying to befriend them.

He was used to being ignored and avoided like a plague. It was lonely, but Naruto was too self-conscious especially after how their parents kept pointing at him. He would always watch how other kids would fawn over the Uchiha Kid and think with Jealousy how nice it would have been to be on the receiving end of all that attention.

Turning his head towards said Uchiha boy, he seem to have raised his head a little higher at the mention of his clan, family, another thing Naruto desired but doesn't have.

Naruto turned his attention towards Iruka with a sigh, "….used his ability to manipulate plants to produce most of the village's wooden infrastructure like buildings. This ability and his 'Will of Fire' ideals were the two reasons he was chosen as the first Hokage of Konoha…."

Naruto was surprised when he heard about the ability to control plants. He listened more closely to any mention of the ability but never managed to find anything until the entire lesson was over.

'The ability to control plants? It's just like what I did to that seed, I'm sure it sprouted as soon as I unlocked my chakra.' Sure that the teachers would ignore his questions, Naruto decided to head to the academy library to search for any information after class.

Passing by the library, Naruto passed the receptionist old woman who shot him an insufferable look as he passed. After searching for the section containing Shinobi history, Naruto searched for information on the first Hokage.

'Hailed as the God of shinobi and possessed unmatched prowess in battle, he possessed a powerful Kekkei genkai called wood release' this was the information he could only get from Konoha's history.

Naruto was about to head home when he thought about the word he read, Kekkei genkai. Moving about, he failed to find any book or scroll with said information.

"Excuse me, I need a book with information about Kekkei genkai and shinobi clans." Naruto asked as politely as he could. This was a chance for him to know the ties he has with the first Hokage of Konoha, he could only hope the librarian helped him.

Aiya was a librarian for 12 years, she knew about the Kyubi and about its fate. She was careful with the boy knowing that any hostility will be damaging to both her carrier and life and it didn't help that the Hokage's office was in the same building. She motion with a grim face towards one of the bookshelves.

"Go to the archive section in that shelf and look for a brown colored book with the title, Warring States Era, you will get information on the clans, as for Kekkei genkai, that it's all in your textbook topic." The librarian said before ignoring Naruto completely.

'At least I got what I wanted.' Naruto snidely thought as he moved towards the sectioned. Checking the shelf, Naruto located the thick book and took it out.

The contained a list of clans that existed before the formation of alliances to create villages. Among the list were some of the clans that still exist in Konoha and some that were extinct. The book didn't help him much, it only stated that only the first Hokage was the sole wielder of the wood release and the Senju clan didn't hold any Kekkei genkai.

'I should check what that word means. That woman said it's in our text books.' Naruto thought as he moved towards the section with the chakra concepts.

Checking on the information, Naruto came upon a book he had seen on Iruka's desk, which is most likely their syllabus. Flipping through the pages, he came upon a section with explanations on Kekkei genkai.

"So Kekkei genkai are abilities which people of the same blood or clan relation can share, it may manifest either on the physical body like the Uchiha and Hyuga's dojutsu, or as an advanced elemental manipulation like ice, wood, lava, magnet release. Shinobi with Kekkei genkai are noted to be more deadly than normal shinobi." With this revelation, Naruto seemed to be quite excited as he headed home.

While it seemed like good news that he possessed a powerful ability same as the first Hokage, Naruto deduced that with the angry looks and the shinobi secretly following him everywhere, then him being related to the first Hokage might not be a good thing at all.

Naruto didn't even bother going to Ichiraku, with such thoughts plaguing his mind, food was the last thing in his thoughts.

Paranoia set itself inside Naruto. He felt like a small lonely boat in the middle of an ocean storm. Everyone around him knew something he didn't and they all hated him for it, he even had people following his every move. Naruto wasn't confident in voicing his thoughts especially with the possibility of something more worse happening.

'The Hokage must know everything going on, and the whole unknown parents thing is mostly a way to hide things from me.' And for the first time, Naruto truly loathed someone, the fact his life was full of lies and hatred. Sighing, Naruto calmed down.

'Loneliness isn't something new, if I get angry it won't solve anything. The most important thing is getting more information and I can't do that as an academy student.' With the knowledge that shinobi are more adept in information gathering, Naruto knew that with his growth in shinobi arts, so will his skills.

'After unlocking my chakra, my ability to sense increased and I can sense chakra clearly.' Recalling how he would always pull pranks in the orphanage, even stealing, and hiding books, Naruto knew that, 'My stalkers don't tell about what I do, they think I don't know about their presence.' Naruto realized his ability to sense chakra is quite rear, only a few times would he be followed whenever he sneaks out, and every time it was the three same chakra signatures.

'The last time I unlocked my chakra, I fainted and only a small seed grew. If I want to use Mokuton well, I need to find more information on how to use it' He was sure that their will be more things to be taught on how to use these kekkei genkais in the future and he didn't feel comfortable using it with all the spying on him, especially knowing the ability might be the cause of all the hate he is suffering. 'The last time the orphanage matron saw my wound healing, she looked horrified.'

Naruto fell asleep hungry and plagued with thoughts.

Danzo

Standing in front of a mirror, Danzo stared at the sharingan eye in his right eye. A few hours ago, he had stolen it from Shisui and replaced the other sharingan eye he previously had.

'The genjutsu capability of this eye is simply impressive.' Channeling more chakra into the eye, it morphed into a four-point pinwheel.

'Mangekyo Sharingan, a rare occurrence even among the Uchiha.' However, what made this Mangekyo ability different from most was its genjutsu ability. When it came to genjutsu, the sharingan simplifies the work of casting normal genjutsu by just mere eye contact, Mangekyo, a higher level than a mature sharingan have the ability to even cast even stronger genjutsu than a normal sharingan. However, what made Kotoamatsukami different was it was a rare unique ability of a Mangekyo and its power lied on its subtlety.

"Danzo-sama, tomorrow's ANBU guarding Naruto is not a Hyuga." A ROOT shinobi wearing dark clothes and a mask with auburn hair peeking out announced.

Danzo nodded at the information and the shinobi body flickered away. This was the piece information he asked as soon as he acquired the Shisui's eye. His plan was to use the eye before he carried out his plan to manipulate Itachi into dealing with his clan.

'Hiruzen is busy trying to make ways to deal with Uchiha clan. If I can brainwash the jinchuriki to be loyal to me, even if Itachi betrays me to Hiruzen, before he becomes too powerful to control, if I plant a seed of loyalty towards me, in the future he will only listen to me.' It was easily a 99% guarantee the boy will be permanently brainwashed what with him being only 7 years old with no knowledge or experience of even normal simple genjutsu.

Danzo walked towards his desk passing by the collection of portraits in his wall, he arrived in his desk and pulled out a thick book.

For 7 years, Danzo studied and deciphered most of the fuinjutsu in the book. The numerous stacks of scrolls and papers with many mistakes and three successive seals were the result.

The book was a property of Kushina Uzumaki he obtained after the death of the Yondaime hokage and his wife. It contained the details on the Uzumaki sealing style, the tetragram seals and some trigrams seal. Despite having the book, the fuinjutsu was extremely complicated and Danzo only managed to procure three seals, despite their mediocre creation, Danzo knew they were both extremely powerful and suited his purpose well.

The reverse tetragram seal and cursed tongue eradication seal are both tetragram seals he created from his tinkering. The third seal was from an inspiration from the beast sealing technique to create the Tiger vision staring bullet. Looking at the book, his face showed uncertainty before resolve set in.

'It would be foolish to have a weak weapon, especially one with potential to possess a skill as dangerous and useful as this.' He thought as he made up his mind. After the Uchiha incident, he wouldn't be able to contact the Jinchuriki for a long time since the Hokage might suspect him of possessing Shisui's eye. His fear was placing dangerous abilities like fuinjutsu in the hands of anyone not loyal to him, but with the genjutsu he will place on the boy, it wouldn't matter since Naruto will be permanently brainwashed to always follow him, that way, he will have an Uzumaki fuinjutsu expert and a jinchuriki.

'Its also a shame I can't take away his emotion or it will be suspicious if the boy's behavior noticeably changes.' He would only plant a seed of loyalty and nothing more.

Danzo turned and went to sit in his chair, the lack of malicious laughing made him a separate entity from the deranged fools like Orochimaru, he was not evil, but more of an ideal shinobi, dwellers of darkness.

"Hiruzen, I now place my own pieces, let us begin another game and see who will emerge the winner this time."

Konoha academy

Standing outside was a group of about 30 students facing Iruka. Before them was a large sparring circle.

"Today we'll have our first taijutsu sparring match." The 7 year olds looked excited at the prospect of having practical work, the male portion anyway. "As a demonstration, Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Hyuga will have the first round." Both the students came from two powerful clans revered for their taijutsu.

A black haired boy with a dark blue shirt with the Uchiha fan symbol on the back and black shorts walked into the circle with a cool expression causing many of his fan girls to swoon and cheer out. A girl with dark blue hair wearing a lavender jacket and brown pants also walked inside the ring with an impassive expression.

"No chakra related techniques allowed, take your stances." Iruka said as the two academy students took their stances taught by their respective clans. Sasuke stood with his side partially facing Hinata right arm extended with the palm facing outward, left hand tucked by his waist in a fist. Hinata opposite to him stood in a gentle fist style, arms raised and legs slightly apart.

"Begin!" Iruka signaled the fight and the two engaged each other.

Naruto like other kids, watched in fascination as the two fought. Hinata seemed to be using her hands only as she constantly thrusting palm strikes while Sasuke deflected and countered with punches and kicks. Naruto watched as Sasuke kept throwing punches and kicks, a combination which proved to be taxing to Hinata as she only attacked and blocked with her hands.

Naruto was confused as to why she didn't use her legs, it took a long time before Sasuke had the upper hand as Hinata was more tired. A combo of a jab, a cross which were evaded followed by an axe kick which was sloppily sidestepped by Hinata only to receive a hard kick to the side which threw her out of the ring.

Naruto watched as the sweat soaked Hinata went to sit to the side breathing hard with disappointment in her face. He noticed that unlike the other girls who were cheering on Sasuke, she didn't show any interest in him. Naruto was impressed with her, a girl fighting on par with the Uchiha prodigy, and although not as much as Hinata, Sasuke was still breathing heavily and slightly sweating.

"Naruto!" Iruka loudly called cutting Naruto from his thoughts, "You're match is with Kiba."

Naruto excited in his first match, thought about the moves he saw from the previous match between Sasuke and Hinata. Opposite to him stood a wild and animalistic looking boy with red fang markings on each cheek.

"Alright, begin!"

Naruto began to attack only for his opponent to appear in front of him, punch him in the stomach before a powerful uppercut to a bent over Naruto sending him out of the ring with a black left eye. He never saw it coming.

Naruto walked towards Ichiraku in a sore mood. The students laughed at his humiliating defeat. It was through this experience that Naruto knew that both Sasuke and Hinata must be on a whole other level since while he had a hard time against Kiba who also wasn't near their level of skill.

"Old man!" Naruto shouted as he hoped for a bowl of hot Miso pork ramen will lift his spirit for the day. "One extra big miso pork ramen" Sitting on one of the stools waiting, a plate of curry rice salad was placed in front of him, much to his horror.

"Don't start a tantrum Naruto, Ramen was yesterday and you skipped." Ayame said with humor but a bit of concern. Naruto liked Ramen and it never happened that the boy skipped a meal.

Naruto sulked at the news, today didn't seem to go according to his plans at all. While he liked Ramen, he still ate the food he given to him, this was the only store that gave him a food that didn't taste rotten or was too expensive.

"Naruto, what happened? You didn't come yesterday for lunch or dinner." Teuchi said as his head peeked out from the behind. The old man cared for the boy. He could still remember the day Naruto first came to his restaurant.

It was a shock to him when he saw Ayame serving the 5 year old boy ramen. He was about to chase the boy when he saw the boy's tears as he tested the food. He listened to how his daughter asking the boy why he was crying, unaware that he held the cause of her mother's death. "It's the best food I've ever tested onee-sama." Naruto said through tears but still smiling. Teuchi understood just what an inhuman mistake he would've done to the boy after watching the scene. From then on, they made sure to cook for Naruto foods they don't originally sell since they were the only restaurant willing to serve him.

"I had a lot in my mind yesterday and kind of lost track of time." Naruto said before he sensed a powerful presence heading towards him. He only ever sensed another presence as powerful within the academy building which he presumed to be that of the Hokage. This one was nearly as powerful as that of the Hokage. Turning away from the presence, Naruto turned his attention toward his meal as he nervously started eating.

An old man with the right side of his face covered in bandage and his right arm hid and his left arm with a walking cane. Naruto felt 13 different chakra signatures from the man, and despite his curiosity, he didn't turn.

"A bowl of chicken ramen, medium sized and I will pay for whatever this boy is having." Ayame was surprised but attended for the man. Naruto hearing the man will pay for his meal looked at him in surprise and in the brief moment of eye contact, his mind trembled as he felt a powerful intrusion into his mind. He felt orders that simply planting themselves into his mind and even his struggle proved futile.

Danzo frowned at the slight resistance. He underestimated the boy, 'A natural sensor, and quite good for such an age.' Adding more chakra, he even sent more commands before he cancelled the genjutsu. Since the boy noticed the genjutsu, Danzo placed one more, and that was to forget anything that happened.

Naruto felt extremely loyal to the man, he would follow any orders the man will ever give him as well as protect him with his life if needed. Danzo took out a book and handed it to Naruto before saying a simple sentence that registered as an order to Naruto.

"Take this book and study everything in it, it will be helpful to you in the future." Danzo said as he handed the fuinjutsu book to Naruto who accepted it without any hesitation. Without waiting for his ordered ramen to arrive, he got up and left.

To the ANBU watching over Naruto, the only thing he saw was Danzo giving the book to Naruto and harmless words before leaving. The Hokage will question Danzo about the incident but Danzo will reason as it being a way of merely making sure the Jinchuriki would not turn out to be completely weak.

After silently arriving in his room, Naruto expression turned grim. After suspecting them for a while, even with no recollection of what exactly happened, Naruto could only guess the creepy old man did something to him.

Naruto didn't like how powerless he felt, worst thing was no thought of defiance could even register in his mind. His heart tightened at the thought, he took out the book given to him and opened it.

FUINJUTSU

The art that unknowingly brought Naruto closer to his family and clan. The book since it was the one Kushina brought with her from Uzushiogakure, contained basic theories to complex ones of fuinjutsu, despite having theories and information even for a beginner, Danzo still failed to fully use the book since unlike members of the Uzumaki clan, he didn't have the fuin-oriented chakra which was essential for most of the sealing styles in the book.

Members of the Uzumaki clan had chakra with sealing properties which differs in potency between members of the clan. Naruto as an Uzumaki whose mother possessed one of the most potent fuin chakra, also had potent chakra. Zetsu completely sealing the Kyubi, prevented the corrosion of said chakra, which would've lost most of its properties after sometime.

Due to his Uzumaki heritage and fuinjutsu affinity, his Jinchuriki status and the son of two powerful shinobi, Naruto showed much more promise and potential that just might surpass that of Minato Namikaze. Having such a shinobi at his full disposal was a mind-orgasm inducing thought to even the stoic Danzo.

When Naruto lazily flipped the pages, he saw formulas and theories he couldn't quite grasp but still felt a familiar feeling.

There only a few topics but each of them possessed a lot of detailed information. The book covered generic fuinjutsu kanji, formulae and mechanics; how to use hand seals for fuinjutsu and the last, Yin and Yang release for the tetragram sealing style and creation/materialization of seals with just chakra. The last two were the hardest even proving too hard accomplish.

The sheer size of the book, the complex descriptions inside and the boring concepts would've made Naruto burn the book, but when he started reading it, he was so absorbed into it, that and the command he was given.

Fuinjutsu was a very mysterious art. Its ability to manipulate space and chakra (as well as spiritual and physical world) makes it quite useful but the general mechanics and theories governing such phenomena are too complex to comprehend.

By using normal sealing methods, it would take numerous amounts of kanji and complex seal formations to create simple and basic seals like the ones used in sealing scrolls and explosive seals. However, Uzumaki have managed to find ways to simplify such seals to single symbols and other complex ones to mere hand seals.

Aside from chakra used in activating the seal, the ink used in making the seal is also quite different from normal ink. Seals use life force to function, some blood is used when ink for fuinjutsu is made, when chakra is applied on the seal, it combines with the blood activation the life force and move it in the pattern of the seal to produce the desired effect.

While there were shops that sell fuinjutsu inks, the book still offered information on the ingredients and recipe of how to make one. It mentioned that pure blood or blood mixed with normal writing ink could be used instead of an actual fuinjutsu ink if there is none around but it is only for present usage and cannot be stored for a long time.

Since Naruto didn't have much even with his savings, he couldn't buy the supplies needed including scrolls and the required ink. Up until now, it has been 1 year since Naruto started living alone receiving a constant amount of money for food and clothes and the amount he managed to save was still low.

"It's already late, I don't want to get yelled at by Iruka-sensei for being late again." Naruto said as he went to bed. 'I need to check on the price of the things I need, it's a good thing the first parts don't involve actual sealing so I can still study some of the theories and practice the calligraphy with the academy provided scrolls before the actual practical stage.'

And so the next day after being reprimanded by Iruka for being late, Naruto sat down on his seat. He kept thinking of what he could do to save more money. Figuring that he should start saving the extra money he gets which he would always use to buy sweets and other junk foods, Naruto turned his attention to the teacher.

The moment classes ended for the day, Naruto was already out as he headed towards the shinobi store near the Academy.

When the shop owner saw him, he sneered, "Only after graduating are you allowed to buy shinobi supplies, screw off!"

The answer really pissed off Naruto as he walked away. Looking at his arm in grief, he only had one option left. "Normal ink and blood it is."

He turned his head towards the shop and watched the shop owner, a middle-aged man. He vowed that one day, he will give the man a proper payback.

'That old man gave me this book because it must be extremely powerful. Also, from yesterday's taijutsu spar, it seems I'm weaker. I need to increase my speed and train more.' From his perspective, they seemed more fast and nimble and the power of the strikes was very big. It would take a lot of training to reach that level and with Naruto's lack of guidance it would be even harder. But Naruto knew the most basic of what he should concentrate with. He already had the basic academy taijutsu, what he needed to do was increase his speed, power of strikes and agility, anymore else will be a matter of experience and assimilation. having great resilience and stamina, something most shinobi struggled with in the life, made Naruto a better candidate for taijutsu training than most.

Next chapter, TRAINING.

Firstly, I'm not going to give Naruto a bunch of kekkei genkai and he is ignorant to this fact and I intentionally don't want him to know. The power of Asura is connected to the body, physical and chakra capabilities. What Naruto did in the last chapter wasn't Mokuton but his concentrated yang chakra increasing the plant growth. Naruto doesn't have water and earth affinity but just wind. So, how will Mokuton happen? by first learning water and earth nature, then attempting to fuse them. the senju clan is know for its ability to master any jutsu, the Uzumaki having fuinjutsu affinity might also be supporting that, but being Asura's reincarnate, both Naruto and Hashirama even have potential to use elemental and other body based kekkei genkai provided they have been subjected to the element. Having yang chakra which vitalizes living things, hence why both Naruto and Hashirama can fully utilize Mokuton which is a life based ability. If Naruto and hashi had attempted to try using Hyoton after learning water and wind natures they will fail unless he was familiar with the structure of Ice. Hashirama wasn't born with Mokuton, and he mastered all elements and his hobby was watching plants, I'm trying to make connections but this is my theory which I will use on Naruto, but no, Naruto wont have a bunch of jutsu and kekkei genkai in this story, fuinjutsu, Mokuton and rasengan will be enough for a very long long time, too many jutsu is a headache. I said he will have a power Asura and others never saw, wait for it.

I felt like I was overpowering him last time and making him too smart so I'm toning it down, no visiting home this time and Naruto doesn't need to know he's an Uzumaki to study fuinjutsu.

While I won't give Naruto chains, he will have an almost similar ability that will work with his mokuton and not overshadow it, Adamantine sealing rods, mokuton is already flexible so chains would be giving him more abilities with similar properties.

If you hate a character and he seems to have a nice easy life, please don't lose heart, the future is unknown and the author doesn't really like anyone in particular, and it was stated to be dark, death is certainty.
