Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…
Naruto couldn't see why he had to be on a team with that jerk, Sasuke. True, it was okay that Sakura was on his team but that pervert Kakashi, got very annoying. They had completed a few missions, but still Naruto was viewed as the annoying brat of the party, that thought he was all powerful, he'd show them!
Here he was training his butt off so he could be Hokage one day and finally could say to Sasuke that he was better than him. But for some reason the work never really paid off. The tree he had been punching was reduced to shreds by Naruto who had been punching it out of anger.
'Time for some Ramen!', Naruto said cheerfully to himself.
Naruto was eating his Ramen with relish stacking bowl and bowl on top each other, placed down enough money to cover the food and cheerfully walked off towards his home to rest so he could complete the next days training.
=========================================================================
Rea looked behind her, the tall gates of Konoha standing proud. She had just come through the side entrance to Konoha after traveling hard to reach her destination. The ANBU she had presented her passport to had seemed very testy about her last name, she thought for a few moments there that her was thinking about not admitting her to the village, as if she was going to be a threat to it. There seemed to be some thing calling her, telling her to stay, some homely aura telling her that if she stayed she would never regret it. This must have been what made her ancestors live their lives here, but this calling made Rea uneasy. The wind which she felled a strong kinship too was telling her not to stay, to Rea it felt like the calm before a storm. How long would the gentle breeze stay before the howling winds took Konoha into the storm?
She suddenly shook her head dispelling these thoughts. She was here to accomplish a mission, to tell her only relative remaining about the clan's secrets and history. But the problem was now that she thought about it, Where to start? Deciding that the best possibility was too wait until morning she checked into one of Konoha's many inns.
=========================================================================
Rea woke suddenly, the sun was yet to rise and the clock on the table next to her told her it was 4 am, her normal waking time. She rose from the bed, had a shower, breakfast and everything else you'd expect someone to normally do in the morning. It was finally 5 am when she left so seek her cousin.
So far she had heaps of luck, either that or everyone in the village knew Naruto. Probably the latter, Rea hardly had any luck. She stopped outside a door, it looked to be a small apartment, fit for one person to live in. This was where her sources confirmed her cousin lived. She knocked, and after a minute of waiting patiently she had no answer.
Frowning, she decided to wait for a fair while before knocking again. Half an hour later, she started to hear sounds of someone readying themselves for a day, she heard water gushing and later she heard the faint sound of a jug steaming away and also she thought, faintly smiling, the sound of someone talking cheerfully to themselves. As she listened she started to hear part of the conversation, 'Naruto, you really shouldn't talk to yourself you know!'.
'But the first sign of pure genius is talking to yourself! And if I want to become strong, I'll then have to talk to myself!'.
Rea grinned outright, and knocked on the door. It opened and finally Rea looked into the eyes of her remaining relative.
'Huh, Who are you?', Naruto asked testily.
'My name is Uzumaki Rea', Rea answered.
'Uzumaki Rea! Your like one of my relatives!?', Naruto exclaimed pointing dramatically at her.
'Yes, Naruto, I am your cousin, and I'm here to tell you something'.
'Really! You're here to teach me how to become stronger! Wow!'.
'Um… Yes, Something along the lines of that'.
'So when do we start?', Naruto said jumping straight to the point.
'How about after your training, at say here?', Ria asked.
'Great! I'm going to become stronger! Just wait Sasuke! I'm going to become stronger than you and become the next Hokage!', Naruto then promptly waved a cheery bye as he ran down the street towards where Team 7 meet before their missions.
Rea sighed, trust her only cousin to be very thick and immediately think that all she was going to do was teach him a few techniques so he could become stronger. Now she'd have to find someway to past the day, as she started heading towards Konoha's comprehensive Library.
=========================================================================
Rea was amused, she had just be looking at the Clans of Konoha, a book which states all of the clans of Konoha and information about their bloodline abilities and was amused to find that the book only had the tiniest amount of information about the Uzumaki Clan that went like this:
The Uzumaki Clan
Reputed to be one of the strongest clans of all time, assassinated by other villagers for some obscure reason. No information known about bloodline abilities.
To Rea, a book was supposed to be a written text that was sure about its answers. This text was a fair league or so from the truth. At least no one knew anything about their special bloodline and what it could do. She closed the book and placed it back on its shelf. Looking at her watch it was time to head back to her cousin's home. So she could finally begin his training.
=========================================================================
Naruto arrived to find his cousin already leaning against the wall next to his apartment's door. 'Where do you want to go train?', Naruto asked her energetically. 'First I need to explain a few things to you in private', Rea answered.
Frowning, Naruto unlocked the door to his apartment and stepped inside closely followed by Rea.
Naruto when to get something to drink as Rea sat down on a chair. When Naruto returned with 2 steaming mugs and sat down opposite her on another chair she started to explain.
'Naruto, you never knew to my knowledge anything about your clan and their bloodline abilities', she began, 'Therefore that is what I'm here to tell you'.
'So your not going to teach me how to become stronger?', Naruto said disappointedly.
'No, This is not going to be your ordinary training. But It will make you strong very strong. But first I will tell you about the Uzumaki clan's history', and she proceeded to tell him about what is mentioned in the prologue, 'But, they didn't kill all the Uzumakis, there was one survivor to the massacre. This survivor, surprisingly with the name of Naruto, told the infuriated Konoha council to do nothing. Because Konoha would most probably fall if they declared war on all the other villages, instead Naruto continued the line of the Uzumaki, but unfortunately most died young after only one child was born. Continuing the line of descendants, In this day and age, hardly anyone knows anything about the name Uzumaki or what secrets it holds. But when I teach you about your bloodline abilities you must promise me only to use them if you have to and not tell anyone about your bloodline unless you use your abilities. You see, our bloodline has a curse, because not every Uzumaki can handle our bloodline. That's why they died young, you can never tell if they would be able to handle the full power of the bloodline. I believe you can, but it would be better that you not risk your life in such a foolhardy way'.
'Wow, I never knew my family had such a history! I've got to tell everyone!', Naruto then turned jumping around about to go and open the door.
Rea grabbed Naruto's hand before he could open the door, 'Did you actually listen to the last part of what I said? When I told you not to tell people about your bloodline unless you actually performed one of the Jutsus, which I told you not to perform unless you absolutely had too!'.
'So when can I learn these Jutsus?', Naruto questioned her, 'I need to get stronger fast!'.
'See this?', Rea said as she turned her palms upward so he could see the marks. Naruto gasped, on each of her arms there were dark red lines stretching from her wrist which ended in a circle on the underside of her elbow.
'When I awaken your bloodline you will have these on your arms too. So don't get freaked out if you suddenly see the lines grow when I unlock your powers', Rea said.
Naruto nodded slightly, looking at his arms and wondering what that would be like.
'Okay! Lets start this!', Rea then place her right hand on Naruto's forehead and started to mutter some ancient words under her breath. She bit her thumb and placed a dab of blood on each of his elbows.
Naruto's eyes widened considerably, in front of his eyes tiny channels just like the ones on his cousin's arms were starting to appear and take form using the blood she had dabbed on his elbows.
Rea walked towards the door but then turned around, 'Meet me here, same time, tomorrow, we will start your training in your bloodline then'.
She opened the door and strode out onto the street, the sun was setting. She had taken a fair amount of time performing the awakening. Time always flied by what seemed like a minute then had really been 2 hours. It was time to think up a training schedule, she thought, sighing.
=========================================================================
How was it? Answer the questions? For those who didn't realize, no the chuunin exams haven't be around for them yet.
