"Regular talking"
"Demon or God"
'Demon thinking'
'Regular thinking'
As Naruto entered his house from his meeting with the Hokage he went and laid in his bed and reflected about his day.
'Wow, I can't believe that I beat Sasuke, activated a bloodline, and that the old man will find me some information on it tomorrow' thought the blonde bundle of energy.
'Today was a good day' thought Naruto as he finally slipped into a deep sleep.
The sound of a low growl woke Naruto up, startled he looked around and saw that he was standing in a shallow pool of water in front of a set iron gate with a sheet of paper in front of it. Naruto was both amazed by the size of the gate and confused as to where he was at. Naruto thought he heard movement and looked in the direction of the bars only to step back when he saw two glowing red orbs looking back at him.
"W-W-Who ar-r-r-re you?" Naruto asked with great trepidation.
"I am the great kyuubi and we have much to discuss." Came the demonic and weirdly soothing voice from behind the bars.
Naruto was slowly losing fear of the voice, figuring if it wanted to cause him harm then it would have already without talking to him. Remembering one feature of his bloodline that he had notice upon review of his day, he gathered his courage and looked at the beast.
"Ok, I will listen but first you have to pass my test of trust first and then and only then will I listen to what you have to say, deal?" He asked with as much determination he could muster while talking to a supposed to be dead fox demon.
Intrigued by his hosts request the kyuubi stayed silent waiting to hear what exactly the boy wanted.
Taking the fox's silence as an acceptance of his challenge he explained "When I activated my bloodline, it was always when I looked in the eyes of a person that wanted to cause me harm or was in the process of hurting me. So if you look in my eyes and nothing happens then I can believe what you say."
The kyuubi just nodded and lowered its head its red eyes meeting the boys blue eyes and they just stared at each other for a second. Naruto, seeing how his bloodline hadn't activated, decided that he could trust that the kyuubi would not harm him and sat down prepared to hear what the kyuubi had to say to him.
The kyuubi, seeing that he had the boy's attention, begin to ponder where he should begin his tale. He then decide the beginning would probably be the best bet.
He looked at Naruto and said "Ok, young one, I shall tell you the tale of my origins, explain your bloodline, and explain the effect my chakra has had on your bloodline."
"Ok, have you ever been told the story of the sage six paths?" Seeing the boy shake his head he continued.
"Well, long ago there was a man who is considered the father of ninjutsu. This man is known as the Sage of Six Path, because he used six bodies to fight with him. The sage is considered to be the creator if me and my siblings, the nine bijuu, but this is wrong. My siblings and I are beings of pure energy created when the world was created almost 14 billion years ago. This phenomenon is known as the big bang and is said to create universe."
Seeing Naruto's face he sighed "Naruto, just trust me on this as to completely explain will take way to long."
"Anyway me and my "brothers", for lack of a better term, where created in this explosion and gained sentience over a period of time. At first we simply stayed within our own field or what would later be called planets, with mine being the biggest called Jupiter and Shikakuu's own being the smallest called Pluto. Over time regular human without the gift of Chakra, civilians as you now call them, began to travel in space and unwittingly allowed me and my brother's energies to pool in the earth's atmosphere."
The Kyuubi paused and looked to see if he had the boy's attention, upon seeing the boy looking excited he smiled and continued the story.
"The build-up of our combined energy began causing mutation to the human world, at first was the changing of peoples skin tone, then some of them began to show strange abilities, until finally the emergence of Chakra and the Sage of Six Paths emerged."
Naruto was floored, and understandably so, he had just learned more about history then anybody in the world knew.
"Awesome, history is so cool, can you please tell me about my bloodline though?" asked the excited kid as he looked at the giant fox.
Kyuubi just smiled and looked at the boy before letting out a small chuckle before he started to speak again.
"Alright, alright settle down." He waited until Naruto was seated and quiet before continuing.
"As the Old Man has probably already told you, you bloodline is called the Subete no Sentakushi a mi Rareru or essentially the Power of Choice. However, what he did not tell you is what exactly your bloodline does."
Pausing to see if he still held Naruto's' attention he looked down at the boy, only to be met with a glare because of the pause in the story about his bloodline. Kyuubi merely chuckled before continuing…
"Naruto your bloodline is odd, it allows the users to see a limited in the future in different dimensions and then allows the user to pick which one best suits their needs."
Kyuubi looked down and saw that Naruto had a look of pure confusion in his face. He thought for a second before continuing.
"Hmmm, lets' say that the universe was like a tree. The trunk or the main part of a tree is the basic events that happen in a person's life. For you that would be the fight with Sasuke. Do you understand me so far?"
He saw Naruto nod as he continued with his explanation
"Ok the branches of a tree are the choices that you and your opponent make, while the leaves are the consequences of that decision."
Seeing the boy still had some confusion he gave an example.
"Ok, In your fight with Sasuke, which we are saying is on the trunk of the tree, when you went in that room didn't you see three screens with different words next to them?"
Naruto nodded as he remember the visual aspects of the room he was in.
Kyuubi took this as a sign to continue "Ok, basically the screens were the different branches or all the choices that were going to happen, while the words like "punch" and "win" were the leaves or consequences of you choosing that branch or dimension. Get it?
Naruto looked to be hard in thought and the Kyuubi was beginning to wonder if it he had dropped to much on the boy.
"Ohh, I get it" said the boy who looked as if he received a revelation. "Basically going through life Is like climbing a tree, as you climb the trunk eventually you get caught in a place where you have to take a chance and you have to go out on the branches. My bloodline is basically helping you decide whether or not you should choose that particular branch. Right?"
Kyuubi was floored by the boy's simplistic yet accurate description of his bloodline and made a mental note of it for later.
"Absolutely correct Naruto, though I have some extra news, It seems that my chakra being active in your body has super charged your genes Naruto."
Seeing that the boy was confused he decided to elaborate on what exactly a gene is.
"A gene is like a tiny device that holds the data for the things that make you basically you. It mostly has to due to personality trait you get from your parents and family. Such as: hair color, eye color, skin tone, and many other things. Genes may also affect you Elemental affinity, favorite food and other things along those lines."
Kyuubi looked down and saw naruto at least looking like he understood what he was saying.
"A gene usually can't hold more than four generations worth of information from your family history, however because of my Chakra your genes has expanded beyond the four generation limit and can now hold up to twenty generations of information that will be unlocked as your genes reveals more and more of your ancestry."
Naruto smiled before frowning again he looked at Kyuubi and began to say something
"Kyuubi the gene thing is pretty cool and all, but um how does that effect my bloodline?"
"I am getting there" the kyuubi said with a snort "anyway, because of this you not only keep the bloodline that you got from you parents but also may inherit the abilities of your ancestors, some of which have never been seen in this world."
Naruto eyes lit up ah he jumped in the air
"That is so awesome, Have any been unlock right now cam you go see please please please?" Naruto asked with all the excitement of an 8 year old on a sugar high.
"Sit down." Kyuubi said with pure authority in his voice, and Naruto quickly obeyed. "Sorry for yelling, but to answer your question yes I can go see if anything has been uncovered or something."
With that Kyuubi closed his eyes and looked to be in deep concentration when he opened his eyes and said "Oh, This just got more interesting."
Naruto was about to ask what did he mean when the walls started rumbling and he heard his name echo vaguely around the walls looking at Kyuubi in confusion and a bit a fear he as
"Hey, kyuu what is going on here?"
The Kyuubi look on calmly as he told Naruto he was being woken up before fading away.
Naruto opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi, before hopping out of bed and hugging the old man.
"Morning Jiji, what are you doing here?" Naruto gleefully asked.
"Remember, I told you I would come and get you if I had any information on your bloodline" Said Sarutobi as he pulled out a scroll.
Naruto smiled and told his grandfather to hold on because he had a lot to tell him first. Sarutobi simply nodded his head before turning his back towards Naruto and heading toward the kitchen to make them breakfast.
As he turned around Kyuubi, who was watching the whole scene, smirked and let loose a small pulse of chakra which was felt by the Anbu and the Hokage. Most of the Anbu brushed the pulse off as Naruto and the beast he held chakra being merged together. However, one Anbu was new and didn't get the memo from the hokage that this very incident would occur time to time, plus his hatred of the boy which did nothing to help the situation, let out a war cry and charged towards the boy looking Naruto directly in his eyes.
Naruto opened his eyes and caught a glance of the attacking Anbu before being pulled into the very familiar room of screens. Though this time there were four screen instead of three. Naruto looked at the screen to see which branch he would climb on this time:
Screen 1: (closest to the left) The Anbu charges at Naruto grabs his sword and stabs Naruto in the stomach. This screen had stomach stab as a title.
Screen 2: (screen to the left of the two in the middle) The Anbu runs and does a spin with his sword blade sticking out resulting in Naruto having his head chopped off. This screen had Decapitation as a title.
Screen 3: Shows the Anbu running but before he could get close he is impaled by numerous shuriken and his remains are pinned to the wall courtesy of the Hokage. This screen is titled Old man saves you.
Screen 4: Like the others shows the Anbu running but as he gets close Naruto lets out his own war cry and a beam of orange energy erupts from his eyes and hits the Anbu going through the wall. This screen was title Activate.
Excited and intrigued Naruto quickly chose screen 4 before everything faded and he was back in the real world.
Naruto eyes were now wide open as the Anbu appeared right in front of him. Naruto felt a tingle in his eye before incredibly sharp pain exploded in his head. Screaming Naruto grabbed his head in a vain attempt to make it stop. Suddenly the Anbu in front of him was enveloped by an orange light and crashed into the far side of the small apartment. The wall behind the Anbu crumbled and gave way to the force behind the blast sending the poor Anbu flying across the open sky of Konoha. Naruto started to close his eyes as the exhaustion from unknowingly using most of his already considerable reserves. As Naruto closed his eyes the beam slowly died out the Hokage and remaining Anbu was shocked. Getting over his stupor the Hokage ordered the Anbu to take Naruto to his Office and for someone to fix the boy's wall. As he turned to walk out the door Sarutobi thought
'Yes, a lot to talk about in deed'
