Hey all! New chapter, coming at you! Sorry it's late, but I'll explain why later, and stop this from being long-winded.

New chapter! I choose you!

Disclaimer: Oh, and… I don't own this shit. Just the original ideas. Not even those, actually. *Softly weeps*

Three weeks later, Naruto was found by his team mates bouncing up and down in the center of Training Ground Seven, obviously excited about something. The fact that it was five in the morning didn't seem to matter very much to Naruto.

Sakura had the feeling that he had been there for much longer than it seemed, despite the fact that he was bouncing vigorously.

"Naruto, what are you doing here, and why the hell did you send clones to wake us up?" Sakura asked, seething.

"I finished it!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Finished what?" Sakura asked, confused by his exclamation.

"My new jutsu! It's so awesome, I made it all by myself!"

"Hn." Sasuke grunted. "If it's so awesome, why not show it off?"

"I will teme, I was waiting to build up the dramatic effect."

"Naruto-kun, it's not fair to wake us all up and then make us wait for you to show off." Kakashi said, appearing behind Naruto in a Shunshin.

"But Kakashi-sensei, you were already up! So was Sasuke-teme. And I think Sakura-chan muttered something about-" Naruto began, before being cut off by Sakura as she covered his mouth with her hand.

"N-Naruto wasn't going to say anything." She said, applying pressure to Naruto's head. "Right, Naruto?"

After Naruto nodded hurriedly, Sakura went back to gazing at Sasuke from right beside him, but not before shooting Naruto a warning glare.

"Okay…" Kakashi said. "Now that that's all done, are you actually planning on showing us your jutsu, or can we all just go home now? We don't have to meet up for another two hours."

"Well, yeah Kakashi-sensei! Duh." Naruto said as he walked up to the nearest tree.

It was then that Team Seven's other members noticed the felled trees.

The clearing was easily fifteen feet larger, and considering the amount of trees that there were, that was a considerable distance.

"Are you guys ready for the coolest thing ever?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Yes Naruto," Sasuke said, "Just get this over with so I can get back to sleep."

"Alright. I call it… Tsuyoi Bura Suto no Jutsu (Strong Blast Jutsu)!"

With that, he called out the name of his technique, and threw a palm-strike at the tree in front of him.

A resounding crash sounded, and the tree was sent flying. Naruto was still in place though, which was odd seeing as the tree had roots, so Naruto should have been the one sent flying.

"Naruto." Sakura said, stunned. "What the hell was that!"

"Hehe, well Sakura-chan, it's really simple. Using the tree-climbing exercise, I came up with this! Since you get sent flying if you put too much chakra into it, I figured I could do the same to the tree, or a person. I send chakra to my feet to keep me in place, then I expel chakra from my… My… Sakura-chan, what is it that chakra comes out of again?"

"Tenketsu, Naruto. They're chakra-points." She responded, sweat-dropping.

"Yeah, my tenketsu! So, I expel chakra from my tenketsu, but I can do it with more than just my hands. I can use all of them! I'm just trying to figure out how to do it from all of them at once…"

"Naruto, that's like the Hyuuga's method of fighting." Kakashi said. "If you want advice, I can ask a colleague of mine to see if he can get his student to help you."

"That would be so cool of you Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said, running to Kakashi and jumping on him in a hug. Kakashi was stunned, because he hadn't been hugged in a long time.

Slowly, Kakashi wrapped his trembling arms around the small boy, a tear dropping down his face from his lone eye.

"Kakashi-sensei, are you okay?" Naruto asked, concerned for his teacher and role model.

"Y-Yes Naruto. I think I am." Kakashi said. "Alright," He said, pulling himself together, "It looks like that's all he had to show us. Let's meet up again in… An hour and a half and we can train some more before we go see the Hokage for a mission." With that said, he disappeared in a Shunshin, leaving a thoroughly confused team in his wake.

"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm going to go sleep for that hour and a half. See ya." Sasuke said, as aloof as ever. Inside though, he was wondering if he could get Naruto to teach him that jutsu.

"Goodbye Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted, as shrilly as ever. "See you, Naruto. Good job with the jutsu by the way!"

"Thanks Sakura-chan!" Naruto replied beaming as the girl left. Then something hit him. Something Kakashi said. "Hyuuga." He muttered. "Who do I know who has the name Hyuuga… Oh yeah! Hinata! Hm… She's a little weird… Oh well, I guess I can't really say anything about weird people. I mean, I am talking to myself."

With that said (strangely though it was), Naruto headed out to find the Hyuuga Clan compound.

Hyuuga Clan Compound - Twenty Minutes Later

Walking up to the door, Naruto knocked loudly. And he kept knocking until a very irate clan member with a strange mark on his forehead answered the door.

"Yes, what is it Naruto-san?" The nameless clan member asked.

"Oh, I was wondering if I could talk to-" He said before realising something. "Wait a second… You're not going to call me 'demon-brat'?"

His reply was a simple shake of the head, in the negatory.

"You're not going to spit on me, or kick me? Or anything?"

"No, of course I'm not." The clan member said, looking askance at Naruto. "We of the Branch House of the Hyuuga clan know how it is to be stuck with a seal, without our choice. Now, what was it that you wished?"

"Uh, I was wondering if I could speak with Hinata for a bit." Naruto said, somewhat wary. He knew that the clans had been informed that he knew about the Kyuubi, but he figured nobody would treat him… Kindly. Like a human being.

"I will ask Hiashi-sama if he will permit you a meeting with Hinata-sama. Please, come in and sit. But take your sandals off, I would rather not have to clean so early in the morning." The nameless man said with a small smile.

Doing as Naruto was told, he waited. And waited. And waited some more.

After what felt like forever, the nameless clan member returned with a note, and handed it to Naruto. It was a note from Hiashi.

Naruto-kun,

I am sorry I could not welcome you to my household myself, but as you know it is rather early in the morning. I would like you to know that you need not knock, for you are always welcome in my clan's home. As a fellow Leaf Ninja, and a friend of your father, I give you mostly unrestricted access to my home. I would just like to request you come see me some time, and maybe I can tell you something of your father, though I cannot say who he is. I truly am sorry that I am too busy right now to see you, but know that I will at some point in the near future.

Regards,

Hyuuga Hiashi

P.S.: Hinata is in the training ground, likely preparing to meet with her team. Hideo, the man bringing you this note, will show you to her.

Eyes widening, he looked between the note and the man, Hideo. He simply couldn't believe it. It must be too good to be true. Someone actually knew who his father was, and was going to tell Naruto about him! Granted, he wouldn't actually find out the name of his father, but he would learn about him. What he was like, how good he was as a ninja, anything! He was so excited, but he pushed that back, which took a lot of willpower on his part.

"Now then, let us go see Hinata-sama. Come along Naruto-san." Hideo said, smiling as he knew exactly what was going through the boy's mind.

All Naruto could do right then was nod dumbly, and follow behind Hideo.

Soon enough, after walking through the corridors of the Hyuuga Clan compound, Naruto and Hideo arrived at the personal training ground of the Hyuuga's.

It was big. Really big.

While it was simply an open space, it was a large open space, on the inside of an even larger compound. It had a bare field with the exception of a tree in the corner, an open roof to let the sunlight in, and two girls, one taller than the other, sparring furiously.

They looked almost as though they were dancing, with the taller of the two, Hinata, whirling around the shorter as each blow would almost land. It continued like that for a time, before Hinata easily restrained the smaller girl.

"Hinata-oneesama! You have to let me get better somehow!"

"I'm trying Hanabi-imoto, but if you're not good enough to get a hit on me, how will you ever land one on father?"

Hideo cleared his throat politely, hoping to keep things from getting out of hand. While Hinata was a timid girl, her sister was nothing like her in that respect. Her sister was very brash, and easy to anger.

"Hinata-sama, you have a visitor by the name of Uzumaki Naruto."

The girl squeaked, and stood up off her sister, quickly dusting… Dust off of her clothing. Go figure.

"H-Hello Naruto-kun. W-What are you doing here at a time like this?" She asked quietly.

"Well Hinata, I was wondering if you could give me some advice." He said, somewhat sheepishly. After all, he liked to learn things on his own. Even so, he knew how to ask for help when he needed it.

"W-What's the problem N-Naruto-kun?" She asked, still embarrassed but worried about the boy.

"Well, it goes like this. I made my own cool jutsu, but it's kinda like your fighting style. You know, expelling chakra? Something about it is different though, and I can't quite tell what it is. But that's not the issue. I'm trying to improve it, because I can expel the chakra for the jutsu from all of my tenketsu, but I can't do it at the same time. So, I was wondering if you could maybe… HelpmebecauseyourfightingstyleissocoolandIreallywannafinishmyjutsu." He said, rushing the last sentence.

Hinata though was totally shocked. The boy she looked up to and admired wanted her help? Of course she would give it!

"Of course Naruto-kun!" She said, a little too loudly for her tastes. She had also not stuttered, which only served to boost her confidence. While she could feel her face heating up, she was resolved to push through it. She wouldn't faint when her help was needed!

"Hinata, that's so awesome of you! C'mon, let's go to my training ground and I'll show you how it works."

As the saying goes though, all good things must come to an end. The thought of going to Naruto's training ground with him, alone, set perverted thoughts through her head. Her face abruptly went a bright shade of red, and she passed out with a trail of blood dripping down her nose.

"Did… Did I hit Hinata-oneesama after all?" Hanabi asked innocently. Naruto just stared dumbly, but Hideo knew what was going through Hinata's head. After all, it wasn't too hard to notice how Hinata felt about Naruto.

"Hanabi-sama, why don't you go with Hinata-sama and Naruto-san on their little excursion? It should be an interesting learning opportunity for you." He suggested helpfully.

"That's a great idea Hideo-oniisan!" Hanabi shouted excitedly. "Naruto-san, can you tell me how your jutsu works?"

"Sure! Well, it works by-"

That took up the majority of the ten minutes it would take for Hinata to wake up. Naruto explained to Hanabi the mechanics of his jutsu in great detail, and he found out that Hanabi didn't understand the tree-climbing exercise.

So, Hinata woke up to the sight of Hanabi running full tilt at a tree, and Naruto standing by and letting it happen. What she didn't expect though, was Hanabi running up the tree a few feet, before slipping off and falling to the ground.

'Oh yeah,' She thought 'Kurenai-sensei said something about tree climbing. Maybe in return for my help, Naruto-kun will teach me this. Then I'd be ahead of Kiba-kun and Shino-kun, and they'd know I'm not dead weight!'

After a short apology, Hinata, Naruto and Hanabi all went to Training Ground Seven together to help Naruto work on his jutsu.

Arriving at Training Ground Seven, the women of the trio was treated to quite the shocking sight. Before their eyes was Naruto's own sensei, Kakashi, giggling perversely at a small orange book. The girls knew quite well what the book was, because they had been training their Byakugan and had found their father, Hiashi Hyuuga, reading the small book. With their vaunted 'All-Seeing Eyes', they were able to read the book along with him, thus discovering what the book contained.

With small 'Eep!'s coming from both of them, they had abruptly passed out. Obviously Hanabi, being the hot head she was, had confronted her father about the book. That had gone… Oddly. First, her father had sputtered. Then he had been angry, reprimanding his daughter for having 'read over his shoulder'. And lastly, he wept (cliché anime tears, of course), begging his daughter not to think wrongly of him, and not to tell Neji of the book, lest he fall prey to his family's curse.

Hanabi had no idea what the curse was, but she found it prudent not to tell her cousin of the book.

Needless to say, the pair had hated the book (or, Hinata made it seem like so for appearance's sake). They decided to stalk up to Kakashi and tear the book from his hands, and toss it on the ground.

Or, they tried to.

Kakashi swiftly leaped over them, still reading his book, and pulled a hidden wire taught, snagging the sisters in ninja wire.

"You can fight me. You can try to maim me. Hell, you can succeed at maiming me. But never, EVER, try and harm the precious." He said, looking briefly up from his book with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"H-Hai Kakashi-san/Kakashi-sensei." The girls said nervously, unconsciously in tandem.

"Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.

"Well Naruto, you see, this is a training ground. This is where people sometimes come to do some certain things. You know, eat, hunt. Maybe, I don't know. Train?" Kakashi replied condescendingly.

"Oh yeah! We have to train for a while, right?"

"Yes, Naruto. We have team training. But I assume you brought these ladies to ask them something about your new jutsu?"

"Ahh, yeah!" Naruto responded, scratching his head sheepishly. "So, do you two want to see it?"

"Y-Yes Naruto-kun." Hinata said, nodding vigorously.

"Okay, here goes nothing. Tsuyoi Bura Suto no Jutsu (Strong Blast Jutsu)!" He shouted, spinning to slam his palm on the nearest tree.

The concussive explosion of chakra shot the tree flying through other trees behind it.

"GOD DAMMIT NARUTO!" A feminine voice shouted from the trees. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME, BAKA!"

"Oh no," Naruto said, weeping anime tears, "I almost killed Sakura-chan! What if she hates me now? What if, because she hates me, I never get married? I'll never have children! I'll lose the will to fight, and die in battle, crying for Sakura to help me."

Somewhere in Kaminari no Kuni (Land of Lightning), a young man with a shock of white hair sneezed, launching a lollipop from his mouth.

"Oh no!" He exclaimed. "What if I'm getting sick? Maybe it means I have some obscure disease! Maybe I'll be-"

*THUMP*

"Shut the hell up, Omoi!" A redheaded girl shouted.

"Naruto," Sasuke said, walking out of the opposite side of the clearing, "she's not going to hate you for something small like this. Now would you shut up and ask these two what you need to so they can leave?"

"Oh, uh, yeah!" Naruto said. "Uh, Hinata-chan, I was wondering about being able to expel chakra from all of my tenketsu. I heard from Kakashi-sensei that your clan's fighting style revolves mainly around that, so I was hoping you could help me!"

"Y-You're right N-Naruto-kun. The J-Jūken (Gentle Fist) is based around expelling ch-chakra from our tenketsu i-into an enemy's chakra system t-to seal their tenketsu. T-There's a technique called Hakkeshō Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven) t-that seems to be similar to what you want to do. I'd s-say that if you w-want to be able to e-expel chakra from m-more t-tenketsu that you should practice expelling it f-from a f-few at a time." Hinata said, showing more insight into the subject than she had thought she possessed.

"Wow! Thanks Hinata-chan! That's awesome advice! I'll keep that in mind and practice that sometime!" Naruto replied with a foxy grin painted across his face.

At the sight of his excited face, Hinata's own face heated up, turned the colour of a tomato, and she promptly passed out.

Again.

A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the ridiculously long wait. And, you know, the shitty end to the chapter. You know how the life of someone going to school is. You get by, day by day, hoping to find some way to entertain yourself.

But, I have a decent excuse (yes, it really is an excuse, no matter how true it is.)

I'm working on an island! In a kitchen. Far, far away from home. You guys know how it is, working and such. It leaves so little time! I mean, I knew the internet was going to be horrible, but damn!

Anyway, I hope you weren't disappointed by the chapter. I hope you liked the jutsu! I hope you like the idea of it evolving, because it will be like the Rasengan. There are going to be variations. They're going to be tough to come up with, so I expect some help in that department.

TL;DR: Sorry it's late, hope you like it, et cetera.

Review, if you feel so inclined. If not, ow, my feelings. Anyway, PM me or review any ideas you have for where the story can go, and how it can get there!

RahvinsCage, signing out.
