A/N I know this has taken a while but that is because when i looked back at my work i realised it was not long or detailed enough. So i have spent a while looking at other fics and gathering ideas on how to improve. Also whilst looking for ideas i have had a good idea for Naruto's bloodline. Even though i said it wont be a dojutsu, a great idea hit me and it ties in well with the story so it will be a dojutsu and more. Also i have no idea on how to translate English words into, i think "romanized Japanese" so if it would be ok can you translate some words for me which i will mention in the fic.
Disclamer : I dont own Naruto, but it would be cool if i did. No-one would know whats gonna happen next ;)
Twoweeks after the Shinigami's visit
"Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha . ." All the kunoichi in the class shuffled in their seats, all desperate to be on the Uchiha's team. "Naruto Uzumaki . . ."
"Dammit why me? Why do i get an arrogant bastard like Sasuke. Maybe my other team member will be someone nice" A pissed off blonde thought sat in the corner of the class. Naruto had become a little more distance as of late, having to think so many things through. Learning he is the container of the Kyuubi and of his so called father.
"and Sakura Haruno."
"YES TRUE LOVE CONQUERS ALL!!!!" A pink banshee screamed. Many moans of displeasure were heard around the room.
Normally Naruto would be ecstatic about having his crush Sakura on his team but now he didn't care really. Yes he was happy that he had her on his team, he just didn't want to express his feelings.
"Your Jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi" Iruka then continued to read out the rest of the teams.
One by one Jounin started appearing at the class door telling their teams to meet them at a certain time and place. After an hour of waiting a Chunin appeared and talked to Iruka.
"Team 7, your sensei has been called on a mission. According to the Hokage it will take him three weeks to complete it. He sends his apologies and says to meet him in three weeks time at your training ground. I suggest you three use this time to get to know each other more, and Sasuke don't worry you won't be being held back from no training in 3 weeks. No-one is taught anything much until a month of being in a team."
All three of team 7 were dismayed. They had to wait for three weeks to be a proper team, they had nothing to do, well that wasn't entirely true.
Sasuke got up and left, Sakura hot on his heels whining about going out to dinner with him. Then Naruto slowly got up, he wanted to see the Hokage.
"Hey old man, i need to talk to you."
"Yes Naruto what is it?" The Hokage had an idea of what was to follow but, it would be rude to take words out of Naruto's mouth.
"Well when i took that scroll, i didn't just learn one jutsu."
"What was the other one Naruto? I need to know that technique could endanger this village." The Saindame sat up, he had no idea Naruto had enough time to learn more than one jutsu.
"Well i tried it but it didn't work, it was the Shinigami Kuchiyose no jutsu"
"Naruto do you know what might have happened if it had worked? That jutsu if done properly could kill you." Bringing back painful memories to the old man.
"But it did work, he appeared and saved me from Mizuki. He also told me he wanted to train me."
A mask of a smile appeared on the Hokage's face, he knew the day had come.
"Okay Naruto, i suggest you go, i wouldn't want to keep your father waiting."
"So he is my father?" Naruto asked quizzically, he was still unsure.
"Yes Naruto, and as for the Kyuubi, I'm sorry you heard about it from anyone else but your father. I'm sure he will fill in any blanks."
"Thanks a lot old man" The blonde said with a big smile on his face.
Naruto was now sure that he will meet his father, he had no reservations. He was going to finally get to know his father and get closer to being Hokage.
Naruto rushed out of the office, no more than a orange blur amongst the street. Running at great speeds he had only ever used when desperate to get away. Now was different, he needed to go into the forest and perform the summoning jutsu.
Jumping through trees and bushes Naruto came to a stop in a large clearing, it was beautiful. The bright sun illuminated all of the trees making them seem alive with green and the waterfall cascading down provided a soothing tone in which to relax to.
Naruto sat down back to a tree, and took a deep breathe calming himself. Steadily Naruto put his hands into the seals and slammed his hand down on the floor crying:
"SHINIGAMI KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU"
As the spider web of seals crept across the grassy floor, a huge cloud of smoke appeared revealing the shinigami. A huge man standing at 12 foot, white skin and a white kimono even white hair. He had sharp pointy ears and a snake-like tongue, and he carried his dagger on his hip.
Naruto tried to back up but his back met the tree. He didn't think he would be able to cope with this especially not on a regular basis.
"Ahh so you weren't afraid to summon me, even though your Hokage told you that it could kill you. Yes you are Reaper material, reckless but trustworthy, just what i would expect from my own son."
Naruto after hearing that was slapped out of his hysteria.
"If you say i am your son why am i here, and you have not even contacted me since i was born."
The Shinigami was taken aback, no mortal spare the Yondaime Hokage had recovered from seeing him so quickly. He liked this boy. "Good question, well you know that you contain the Kyuubi so that will speed this up a bit. The Yondaime Hokage summoned me to help him seal the Kyuubi into himself. However the Kyuubi cannot be sealed into an adult as their chakra coils are too developed, so the Kyuubi blows them up and escapes. As i could not allow that, i had to seal him into a child, and at that time i was carrying you with me. So i sealed it within you. Believe me if there was any other way i would have done it but now i will make it up to you i will reveal your true heritage and your profession."
"What do you mean my true heritage and my profession? I am a ninja and always will be!"
"Well ok but it does tie in with being a ninja, as for your heritage it is a bloodline." The Shinigami was not too pleased about his son not wanting to be anything other than a ninja but he knew that would change.
"WOW!! A bloodline is it the Sharingan? Or Mokuton?" Naruto was now up on his feet bouncing around enthusiastically. Completely unafraid of the huge presence in front of him.
"No, however it is similar to one bloodline: the Byakugan." The Shinigami the morphed into half his size and looked Naruto in the eyes. "What i will do is i will unlock the bloodline the Kyuubi has locked and i will remove the barriers it has placed in your brain to stop the mental stress from making you suicidal."
"Why did it do that to me? Why stop me from having a bloodline?" Naruto looked confused
"Well the Kyuubi is actually quite considerate. By stopping you from having your bloodline he stopped the scientists from testing on you and several other things" The Shinigami did not want to discuss this part yet. "Anyway the bloodline you will receive is called the Reigan (Spirits eye) but even though the name involves the eyes it does not just solely use them; there are two stages, the first activating your eye stage and the second is what is required to become a full-fledged Reaper."
"The Reigan? That sounds so cool, now i will be a powerful ninja."
The Shinigami looked uncomfortable at this. "No the bloodline will just open a path which i will help you to follow. Hard work is the key to strength" The shinigami folded his arms and walked over to the wide river being created by the waterfall. Naruto followed him without question and stood next to him.
"Now stand still Naruto" The Shinigami brought his index finger up to Naruto's forehead, and both glowed. Naruto clasped his head as a rush entered his memory of all the mistreating he suffered. Then without warning the Shinigami pushed sending Naruto flying through the air still in a standing position.
He kept on travelling until in the middle of the lake. When Naruto stopped his feet touched the water but did not sink. A smirk found its way to both the Shinigami's and Naruto's faces. Naruto could water walk by channelling his chakra to his feet. Something a genin was not expected to do.
Naruto ran back to where his father stood, his head bowed as he ran. He skidded to a halt and looked up. Where his eyes had used to be bright blue, he now had pupil less eyes which took on a dark red hue.
"How do you like your new eyes son?" The Shinigami knew what his answer would be.
"I love them, i don't even need to use them to know how powerful they can be. But i want to know how did i suddenly figure out how to walk on water?" Something about Naruto had changed he was still the happy little ball of energy which everyone knew but he no longer gave it freely, as if his memories corrupted him slightly.
"Well first things first, when i gave you your eyes they improved your chakra control greatly. Then by removing the barriers around your mind it allowed you to think differently, so you could think of a way to keep yourself from sinking. Just like a 'genius' would." The Shinigami was pleased. However he had one more surprise left for his son. "Now on top of that, your eyes go well with a particular style of Taijutsu. The Byakugan has has the Taijutsu Juuken (Gentle Fist), so it seems logical that the opposite of it has a contrasting Taijutsu. So instead of pushing chakra into the enemies Tenketsu by jabbing them, the Spirits eye does it through sliding your hands roughly on the opponents body, so therefore: Kenmaken (Grinding fist)."
Again the Shinigami walked away but this time, he stopped in the middle of the clearing.
"Now Naruto, another thing which changed when i gave you your eyes was your chakra nature. All wielders of the Reigan have a lightning type chakra, however having the Kyuubi in you which has a fire type nature confused your body. So your body changed and became wind natured."
Naruto nodded it made sense as wind is in-between fire and lightning in the elemental ring. However he was getting uncomfortable now so the Shinigami decided to start his training.
"Now that's enough talking for one day, time for you to start learning. I want you to make 20 shadow clones, i will do the same and then i shall teach you the ways of the Grinding fist." Both the Shinigami and Naruto made the familiar hand seals and popped 20 clones into existence. The 40 clones paired up and spread out among the clearing. Leaving the originals in the middle.
"Whilst your clones gain knowledge, you are going to be training physically." The Shinigami waved his hand and seals appeared over Naruto's limbs. "those are resistance seals which i will increase every week. Now i want you to do 3000 laps of the lake whilst walking on the water, then 1000 press ups and sit ups. After that we can go get some ramen."
At that Naruto sprang into action already on the lake, having no problems with his control.
"That kid, he really is something special. He is going to go far, well he is a demi-god" The Shinigami thought to himself as he pulled out a desk and chair out of nowhere, to battle head on with his eternal rival. Paperwork.
A/N How was that please read and review. Please can i get those translations up quickly. I hope i have expanded a little more in my writing, i know i need to improve but i am a lazy person. Old habits die hard (well not that old i am only 14 ^.^)
