A.N. Chapter Seven
Naruto's teammates were moving around the area sparring with each other while he was meditating. After having sparred with each other for a month, they were all much more proficient with the practice boken Gekko had made from wood for them. The blades were the same weight and look of their real blades that were being made at that time. Then Gekko came to the practice area and told them to line up.
After they were gathered they all had one thing on their minds, "Are the blades done?"
It turns out they were. "Now then, you three, I want each of you to remember what you have learned over the past month a blade without a heart behind it is just a piece of metal that may injure it's user as much as their opponents. Never use a sword in anger. Just use it when it is necessary to defend something."
"Hai Gekko-sensei"
"Alright then First up is Hinata's Sword." Gekko then removed the first blade from the seals. It was little more than a knife in a katana handle.
Hinata looked confused. "What is this Gekko-sensei?"
Gekko took the blade and ran chakra through it. The blade passed through a tree and then he gave it back to Hinata. This blade is made of a special metal, Hinata. It was designed with the help of Hiashi-sama. The metal is special as when you run your chakra through it, it will extend a non-corporeal blade of chakra that will cut through your enemies chakra network. It is a specially designed Juken Sword to complement your taijutsu style." He then asked her to look at the tree when she did with her Byakugan she gasped as she saw that the tree's nature chakra network was disrupted by the blade.
"Thank you so much Gekko-sensei." Hinata said with joy at being given a gift her father helped to make.
The next sword he pulled out was another strange one as the blade was apparently hollow, with a porous handle, "This blade is for you Shino. It is hollow and you can place your beetles in it. When you cut an opponent, you can place beetles directly into their bodies. The sword complements your fighting style also."
"Thank you, Gekko-sensei." Said Shino plainly, but no less grateful than Hinata.
The last sword he pulled out was still strange one. The handle looked like a pair of outstretched wings for the guard and a short handle to only be used by one hand. "This blade Naruto is yours the style is frankly put simple. The Blade is a katana style but the metal is special it is the same kind as Asuma-san's chakra knives. If you master elemental manipulation then you should be able to extend the blade or even send out slicing waves of air. Your element will be wind as the main and Lightning as the secondary. That is the way your Kekkei Genkai works." Said Hayate.
"Now I will teach you a new jutsu to aid in your training with these swords." Said the Jonin.
The man went through five hand seals. And said: "Ken donka-gatana-hō" While running his thumb and index finger along the blade.
After he was done, he took his thumb and slid it along the blade and the children were shocked when they saw it didn't break the skin.
The genin were impressed as they all watched him teach them the seals.
The next week
The three were on their way to meet at Shinobi HQ to get their mission.
Naruto and Gekko were having their usual argument as they passed Kakashi's Squad. Hey you guy's Said Sakura. We just got a C rank Mission.
"Oh really?" Said Shino.
Yeah, we have to protect some old drunk while he finishes a bridge. This is so boring. Besides he smells like shit to boot." Kiba said angrily. Akamaru barked in agreement.
When Squad eight entered the missions room Sarutobi looked at Naruto with a resigned expression. The three students would know that they were ready to go on a C rank. Unfortunately, the only C rank mission of that day was already assigned to Kakashi's Squad.

A.N.P.S.: Here's the seventh installment of the Naruto Ascendant story. In actuality, I originally planned on calling it Angelic Naruto, but I wanted to also keep the element of suspense in wondering what the Kekkei Genkai was. I hinted at it with chapter two. But I also was too dang lazy to change the acronym similar at least. So Naruto Ascendant is the name. The next chapter may take awhile to write because I need to look up the Mission to Wave arc before I can write it.
