Early Life
Naruto, the main protagonist of our story, is the oldest son of Sarutobi Asuma and Sarutobi Yuuhi Kurenai. However, unlike his younger brother Juushiro, he is an adopted child and is not related by blood. His real biological parents were Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, and Uzumaki Kushina of Whirlpool, both currently deceased.
Spirited away as a baby to the Daimyo's Court of Hi no Kuni (Fire Country), young Naruto was raised around by the opulence of the rich and famous. From a young age, he and his brother Juushiro were constantly taunted for their "commoner roots" from the spoiled children that shared residency in the palace. Being the more outspoken older brother, Naruto often defended both himself and his younger brother, reciprocating through blunt actions or pranks, constantly catching the ire of his parents and the palace guard.
His outspokenness did however allow him to make fast friends with the children of various lords and kages that would visit often on business to the Fire Daimyo's palace. Despite the fact that he never got to see these friends very often, he still kept in close contact with every one of them through written correspondence.
When he and his brother Shiro began their first days of training in the shinobi arts, it was painfully clear that he possessed an incredible well of chakra with next to no control to go along with it. In fact, it was estimated that at age seven, he possessed a supply on par with an Elite Jonin. So from the onset, much of Naruto's early training centered around chakra control and adaptation exercises, so as to better harness his massive potential.
The first hiccups of his younger years would soon rear their ugly head however. After just a few weeks into his training, Naruto was accidentally knocked unconscious during an intense taijutsu training session with his father, mother and brother. It was through this training accident that the sealed demon spirit of the Kyuubi, took the opportunity to temporarily possess Naruto's vacant body, where it savagely attacked the stunned family. Because his parents had always thought something like this could happen, they managed to subdue the demon's influence, using a disruption seal provided to them by the Sandaime before leaving Konoha. After a lengthy discussion, alot of tears, and countless apologies; the entire ordeal brought the Sarutobi family far closer to each other than ever before.
Once word got back to his adopted grandfather concerning the incident, he requested that Jiraiya pay more active visits to the palace to check up on Naruto and the seal. Once the man finally met the son of his prized student, he almost instantly took a liking to the boy, seeing as how even at that age, he was so much like his father.
After a few weeks of steady recovery and light training, Naruto noticed something very odd about the feel of his chakra. It still felt as large and staggering as before, but it also felt cleaner and more flowing. After performing some tests and testing out various chakra manipulation exercises, Naruto discovered that not only did he possess far greater chakra control, but that his chakra had the innate ability to mold into his primary elemental affinity without any conscious effort. In layman's terms, the "kyuubi possession event" had changed his chakra network completely; granting him complete and total mastery over his wind element.
He learned that he could perform just about any Fuuton jutsu without the need of handseals, and even at age eight, he was able to use his father's Hein (Flying Swallow) perfectly. However, he also found out that his mastery came with a severe price. Doton, Raiton and Katon techniques are next to impossible for him to perform, and only through constant training was he able to use Suiton jutsu. Blood tests performed by Tsunade confirmed that the condition was indeed a newly developed advanced bloodline ability, and that it would be passed on to his descendants. Naruto titled this new bloodline Kazenui (Wind Sewing).
With his new level of chakra control and his mastery over the wind element, his training in advanced, high rank ninjutsu skyrocketed. By the time Naruto turned ten, he had an extensive Fuuton and Suiton library at his disposal, including numerous high-rank techniques he himself created using his bloodline enhanced element, Daifuuton.
In recent years, his primary sensei Jiraiya started him on the path of fuuinjutsu. Still a novice, the boy has still made remarkable progress, even discovering new uses for existing seals.
Personality
Naruto is characterized as being hyperactive; he is typically easily excitable, impulsive, and often suffers from a short attention span. This is supported by his brother Shiro, describing Naruto as being the type who typically doesn't think before acting; at least as far as most common things in his life are concerned.
As an extension of his naivety, Naruto has a number of childish traits. His pajamas always include a comical black nightcap with eyes and teeth, and he keeps his money in a chubby, green-frog wallet he affectionately calls "Gama-chan," a present from his godfather Jiraiya. Also, Naruto rarely pays heed to formality or social standings, because they remind him of the stuffy atmosphere he had to deal with at the Daimyo palace. This is evidenced whenever he addresses his grandfather the Hokage, as well as his perverted sensei Jiraiya.
In battle Naruto's personality flips dramatically from fun-loving, to fierce. Able to adapt into any situation, Naruto can develop brilliant, yet risky, strategies to just about any battle scenario. With a bottomless well of will determination, Naruto has never, nor will ever accept the idea of a no-win scenario.
This leads into one of Naruto's greatest traits: his fiery desire for self-improvement. This part of him is so intense, that his presence can often strongly impact the lives of those around him, instilling into them a confidence and self-esteem they never thought they had.
Naruto follows the idea that hard-work pays off better than relying on inborn genius. Since he himself is now the first scion of a new Advanced Bloodline, he never relies on the status quo of its capability to win his battles. Rather, he pushes himself to advance beyond his normal capability, breaking into newer and more powerful frontiers of power. Such examples is his self-created Daifuuton subgenre of Wind techniques: techniques that push his bloodline capability even further than anyone thought possible. Only through self-experimentation and constant practice was he able to reach this pinnacle of power.
Naruto has a severe Galahad Complex - the need to comfort and support a sad or crying girl/woman until they're properly happy again. He isn't afraid to openly show his supportive and sensitive side, nor will he turn away any girl (or even a guy- although it creeps him out) who seeks emotional help and attention. Because of his long-standing experience in these types of matters, Naruto has a firm grasp over people's emotions and has a knack for giving his own brand of inspiring advice.

Abilities (Some information supplied by Narutopedia)
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) (B-Rank) - Supplementary Ninjutsu
Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows, or if the primary user is knocked unconscious. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. This technique was also the first one Naruto learned and mastered.
Bunshin Daibakuha (Great Clone Explosion) (A-Rank) - Clone-based Ninjutsu
This jutsu works in combination with the Shadow Clone technique to create a shadow clone that will explode on command. The blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill an attacker engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Naruto hasn't fully mastered this jutsu, as he cannot reliably control the blast power.
Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) (A-Rank) - Offensive Ninjutsu
Created by his biological father, and taught to him by his sensei Jiraiya, this technique is Naruto's prized melee finisher. The Rasengan does not require any hand seals to use, relying only on the chakra control of the user. Once it is complete it becomes self-sustaining, which does not give the Rasengan a definite limit. The compacted nature and moving speed of the chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with, inflicting major damage. This also tends to launch the target backward once hit. The jutsu is half complete, and Naruto has just begun trying to combine it with his Daifuuton bloodline affinity.
Daifuuton: Taifu'nome (Greater Wind Release: Eye of the Typhoon) (A-Rank) - Defensive/Offensive Ninjutsu
The first jutsu Naruto ever created to use his bloodline proto-element Daifuuton, the technique requires no handseals and can be used offensively or defensively. In essence, a localized wind-bladed tornado is formed around the user, which can deflect most jutsu. If used in melee range, the blades can be used offensively to tear apart anybody within a 15 foot radius. The primary weakness, like all Wind techniques, is fire, since it only enhances it. Therefore it shouldn't be used in situations where Katon are being cast.
Daifuuton: Atsugai (Greater Wind Release: Pressure Damage) (B-Rank) - Offensive Elemental Ninjutsu
More powerful version of the Renkuudan, Naruto enhances the chakra he emits from his mouth with his bloodline, to target a person's body, crushing it with immense pressures before tearing it to shreds.
(AN: I know this is Kakuzu's technique, but honestly, it seemed more appropriate that Naruto developed it instead - plus its a cool ability that douche didn't deserve anyway)
Fuuton: Renkuudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet) (C-Rank) - Offensive Elemental Ninjutsu
The Renkuudan is cast as the user takes a deep breath, distending his stomach, and punches himself in the gut, shooting large balls of compressed air and chakra at an opponent. Naruto's bloodline affords him the ability to cast it without handseals.
Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough) (C-Rank) - Offensive Elemental Ninjutsu
Naruto's favorite and most often used technique, the Daitoppa creates a large explosion of wind from the user's location, easily leveling everything in its path. Its simple to aim, and requires very little chakra to use. Naruto can also use this without the need of handseals.
Hakukaze Ryu Taijutsu (Wind Fade Style Taijutsu) - Melee Combat Style
The Hakukaze is a specialized hand-to-hand combat style, tailored exclusively for those carrying Naruto's new bloodline. Inspired by his sensei's Sage Mode taijutsu, the Kawazu Kumite, the style uses Naruto's innate ability with wind to enhance the wind pressure surrounding his body, giving him a thick, invisible layer of added reach to all of his attacks. The damage of the blow however, is proportionate to the power of the swing. Therefore, they are not as powerful as Sage Frog Katas, which are greatly enhanced with Senjutsu chakra.
Hein (Flying Swallow) (B-Rank) - Kenjutsu/Ninjutsu Enhancement
Originally created by his adoptive father Asuma through the use of trench knives, Naruto uses Hein as his primary weapon-based technique. Using 'Chakra Flow', this technique requires a bladed weapon; by feeding Wind elemental chakra into the weapon, the ninja will increase the length and density of his blade to strike an enemy from several feet out of the physical blade's range. This is accomplished by creating an invisible extension of Fuuton chakra that shapes into an edge that functions like the normal blade itself.
Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Encampment Wall) (B-Rank) - Defensive Elemental Ninjutsu
This defensive jutsu creates a wall of water around the user. This wall of water is especially effective at stopping Katon techniques. Naruto can only form the wall by using outside water sources.
Suiton: Hahonryu (Water Release: Tearing Torrent) (C-Rank) - Offensive Elemental Ninjutsu
This technique creates water that spirals in the user's hand and fires at a highspeed at the enemy. Naruto is only able to perform the technique with a nearby water source.
Sui: Fuin (Water Seal) - Supplmentary Fuuinjutsu
Used by Naruto as a way to provide sources of water to be used for his Suiton jutsu, anywhere and at any time. In actuality, the seals are just simple storage scrolls, ingeniously used to contain membrane-filled cloisters of water, which explode upon release.
(AN: Giant water balloons, inside a storage scroll - nothing fancy)
Magen: Onime Giragira (Demonic Illusion: Demon-Eyed Stare) (D-Rank) - Minor Aesthetic Genjutsu
The only genjutsu Naruto ever learned and perfected besides the Henge no Jutsu, the technique was originally created by his adoptive mother as a way to intimidate opponents by giving the user's eyes a baleful glow. This low chakra ability is an effective fear tactic that does not require handseals to activate.
(AN: I have a sinking suspicion this kind of jutsu has been used before in other fics, but I don't know of any off the top of my head. If another author has made this jutsu before, please know I came up with this on my own, and any similarities is just coincidence, and not an intentional plagiarism of your idea.)
Armament
Chakra Enhanced Trench Knives
A highly uniquely-designed trench knife, these blades are worn like brass knuckles, but each one has a sharpened zig-zag 'tooth' over each knuckle, and a blade coming out of one end. Naruto, like his father Asuma, couples these knives with his taijutsu skills to great effect, such that he can take out multiple opponents in a matter of seconds. The knives can be infused with elemental chakra to produce added effects. When infused with Fuuton chakra through the Hein technique, it can easily pierce through trees, stone, even metal.
