Dual Blood
Don't own Naruto
#5
"Naruto is a child born with a fate of hiding and a destiny of power; he must kept be hidden from all others, everything about him a secret. His potential of light and darkness is very dangerous. It is a burden he must carry to his grave."
*************************************************************************
Naruto opened his eyes then closed them.
"Damn," Naruto cursed as he fell into the sand again. He opened his eyes once more. His eyes were glazed with a white layer. His eyes were a pale blue.
*************************************************************************
Flashback
"Naruto. The Sharingan isn't something to used on a daily basis. You may have the Uchida blood mixed with your own but your body wasn't made for using it. Your eyes have to change their genetic make up for the Sharingan to work and so it may cause you blindness due to the stress." The Hokage informed Naruto as he applied medicine to his eyes. He had been training with the Sharingan when he was found by the Anbu in the forest.
"Why did it happen now?" The blinded Naruto asked.
"It's the Mange Sharingan that puts the most stress on your eyes. The regular Sharingan and your normal eyesight are about the same because of the Kyubi," Sandaime explained, "The Mange Sharingan is on a higher level and puts too much stress on your eyes, more than it can handle. Your eyes burned out. It's temporary but it's also a great weakness,"
**************************************************************************
"Naruto?" A voice asked. Naruto's hand shot out and grabbed the speaker's arm. He heard a scream.
"Sakura?" Naruto asked as he let go and slowly sat up, "Watch out," A burst of chakra wind blew from Naruto.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"Right now I can't see a damn thing. So I used an old Hyuga trick I learned from an old friend of mine." Naruto explained as he put his hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"Lead the way." He ordered, Sakura nodded her head nervously then started to walk.
**************************************************************************
"The grass is filled with poisoned traps so it's best to watch where you're heading." Kakashi informed as they slowly made their way through the forest Kaoru had created.
"She's annoying." Sasuke grunted, annoyed at the Grass-Nin's hiding.
"She's clever. We have to waste energy searching for her while she is resting." Kakashi panted, as he dodged a trap that threw needles filled with a darkened poison.
"The truth is that this is only a sample of what a Spirit-Line member is capable of " Haku said. The two Leaf Ninjas turned around in surprise.
"There was a Mist Nin with a Spirit Line. He was extremely powerful. Even with my bloodline jutsus I was no match," Haku explained, "But in her current stage all three of us should have a chance at beating her."
"Where's Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"He can't help us right now, because he went through an entire battle with those eyes of his " Haku stated.
"So the rumors are true?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah. He can't see after a good fight," Haku answered, "It too much stress on his eyes."
"A blind ninja eh? Maybe I should go after him instead of you." Kaoru's voice echoed in the forest.
"You wouldn't stand a chance " Haku spoke as she looked around, "By now he should have finished Kyo off already"
***************************************************************************
"Hatch. Are you sure about that?" Iruka asked as he looked at the files a folder.
"I'm sure. The Hyuga files are accurate to the extreme. They have a file on anyone who's anyone in the Leaf," Hatch answered, "So is Naruto back yet?"
"No, not yet. But this is a heck of a bombshell you're dropping on him " Iruka replied.
"A third Bloodline?" Iruka read aloud shaking his head.
"Naruto already is powerful enough as it is. A Class B ninja who's capable of turning into Class A when he uses one of his bloodlines. Class S, if he goes all out," Hatch explained, "I can't do anything until Naruto comes back. Anyways, how the new class going?"
****************************************************************************
Naruto suddenly sneezed loudly as he followed Sakura.
"You ok?" Sakura asked.
"I'm fine. Are we at the campsite?" Naruto asked.
"I think so," Sakura said, "Everyone was everywhere "
"I can smell a lot of blood and a large amount of chakra." Naruto stated as he sniffed around. He grabbed Sakura's shoulder tightly stopping her and he stepped forward as he pushed her back.
"Shit. There's some Stone Nins left. They're very well hidden," Naruto continued to sniff as he moving his head around. He had regained a blurry view of the world, "Sakura. Don't move."
"Who's there?" Naruto yelled. The Ninjas seem to emerge from the sand as if they were part of it.
"Oh wait, they're Sand Nins, not Stone " Sakura observed.
"Well. Isn't that the famous Naruto?" One of the older Ninjas bowed.
"They know you?" Sakura whispered.
"I have been to the Sand Village a while back and made a big impact." Naruto explained as he turned to them, "So why are you here?"
"We heard reports of battle happening here," The Sand Nin explained, "We were sent to investigate. You were to arrive yesterday,"
"We were delayed," Naruto briefed, "A group of missing-ins attacked, they were from Stone and Grass "
"The merchant and your Anbu have arrived at the village safely. We were sent to find the rest - orders from Kazekage " The Sand Nin bowed again, "Looks like you need rescuing "
"Shut up. I beat Gaara and I can beat you anytime. If you think I need rescuing you're mad." Naruto grumbled. His vision was beginning to come back, bit by bit.
"Ok. The village is north of here." The Sand Nin pointed in the direction.
"Kay!" Naruto nodded as the Sand Nins disappeared. He looked around then pulled off his gauntlet's wrapping and bit his thumb. He ran his thumb down his arm.
"Summoning! Aero Arrow!" Naruto yelled as a beautiful silvery white dragon appeared. It was serpent like and about 2 times their height in length.
"Climb on," Naruto instructed as the dragon floated down. Sakura looked at it freaked out, and started to back away.
"Oh, I don't believe this," Naruto groaned as he slapped his forehead, then nodded at the dragon. Which proceeded to circle around Sakura, and then it tripped her.
"Woah!" Was all Sakura got out before she fell on the dragon's back. The dragon was already zooming toward the village, with Sakura clinging to it in a death grip.
"See ya!" Naruto yelled at Sakura as he turned around. He headed for the forest.
**********************************************************************
Sasuke, Kakashi and Haku looked around as screams echoed through the forest.
"What happened?" Haku asked as she pulled out her needle weapons. Sasuke opened the devil wind shuriken as Kakashi pulled out a pair of kunais. They made their way to the source of the screams to find an arm then a leg then a head. Nothing else was in sight.
"They were Sand Ninjas," Haku claimed as she picked up a headband.
"They were a delicious meal for my Vicious Trap," Kaoru boomed. They turn around to see a giant flytrap with sharp teeth and Kaoru standing on top of it.
"Oh...," Kakashi started.
"Shit!" Haku finished.
"Vicious! Vemon spit!" Kaoru bellowed. The giant mouth opened and a green liquid spat out. Haku summoned a mirror and disappeared as Kakashi grabbed Sasuke and moved out of the way. The ground that the acid touched burnt away.
"Powerful poison " Kakashi commented as he pulled up his headband. Sasuke's eyes shifted to red, revealing Sharingan.
"I suggest you retreat if you know what's good for you," Kaoru sneered.
"Sorry but we have a mission to do," Haku said, "Demonic Ice mirrors!" Large ice mirrors surrounded Kaoru. Haku was a blur as she struck Kaoru with what seemed like a dozens strikes a second. A green liquid poured from Kaoru.
"What the?" Haku asked puzzled as she stopped attacking.
"Toxic gas!" Kaoru yelled as green mist came from Vicious' skin. Haku collapsed from the poison.
"Food, Vicious!" Kaoru informed the plant, while the green liquid was absorbed back into her. The plant's tongue came out and tried grab Haku, but an orange blur appeared and grabbed her then it disappeared. Everyone looked up to see Naruto standing on a branch with Haku slung over his shoulder.
"That's not the real you. This is a new type of Bunshin I've never seen," Naruto commented as he sniffed.
"Naruto? You used the Red Cross didn't you?" Haku asked weakly.
"Kakashi! Sasuke! You're now your own for about 10 minutes. Stay alive 'til then!"
"You reek of Kyo's blood! You killed him! I can't let you live!" Kaoru shrieked, "Vicious! Vemon spit!" Naruto's hands became a blur then he disappeared, the words "Line Bounder!" echoed throughout the forest.
'That was the Line Bounder jutsu. It's a kinjutsu. Red Cross? So Naruto's blood has awakened,' Kakashi thought, 'Being his instructor will be interesting if I can live through this, Kakashi jumped away as another blast of Vemon came his way.
***************************************************************************
The Leaf Nins were bandaging their wounds as Sakura moved around doing what she could when a orange cloud appeared in the middle of the room. Naruto, with Haku over his shoulder, stepped out of the orange cloud, and then fell on the ground. An Anbu grabbed Haku before she hit the ground.
"What was that?" Sakura asked surprised.
"Damn. Anyone got a soldier pill?" Naruto panted as he started to get back up, but fell back on the ground with a wince.
"Idiot. You shouldn't have used the Red Cross after using the Sharingan," Tatako grumbled as he helped Naruto up and gave him a soldier pill.
"Kaoru is fighting at a Class S level now," Naruto said, "Using the Sharingan could make me blind for hours and I can't afford that. I also needed to get Haku out of there. She got hit by a toxic gas attack," Naruto explained.
"Shit. Medic! Do your stuff!" Tatako yelled. Tatako was the oldest of the Anbus and the Third in command. One of the Anbu rushed over to Haku. He took a knife and picked up Haku's arm. She was cold to the touch; Naruto had cooled her down so the poison would spread slower.
"Sakura. You better get out of here," Naruto spoke.
"Why?" Sakura asked. The Medics cut Haku's wrist and poured her blood into a pan. Sakura felt sick at the sight of blood.
"That should be enough." Naruto informed. The Medic Anbu nodded and then wrapped Haku's wrist, stopping the blood flow. Naruto stood up and held out his hand, a fire like glow surrounded his hand, and it burned the blood.
"What about you? One soldier pill wouldn't be enough to restore all of the chakra you used up," Tatako said as he turned around. Naruto was now leaning against the wall as he took in calming breaths. Tatako could see the chakra that was entering Naruto from the blood that he recently burnt.
"This is new," Tatako said in shock. Sakura was completely freaked out. She was getting a crash course in the real world of ninjas. And it wasn't glory and honor all the time.
**************************************************************************** *
"So Naruto and his Leaf have arrived?" The Kazekage asked.
"Yes sir but it seems like they ran into some trouble. Kaoru of the Grass attacked them and has killed a team of our ninjas," Baki briefed.
"Where are the Leaf Nins now?" Kazekage asked.
"They're resting at the inn," Baki whispered, "The scroll is with those ninjas who are still fighting in the desert."
"Send out a team of medics to the Inn and send a team to the desert- " Kazekage started but was interrupted.
"Sir, The Leaf at the inn stated with respect that they can take care of themselves. Seems like one of them was a student of Tsunade," Baki said, "And the desert is a deathtrap now, sir."
" Fine, send a team to observe but not to interfere got it?" Kazekage spoke in a strict voice.
"Yes sir." Baki bowed as he turned and left.
************************************************************************
"Katon Karyuu Endan!" Sasuke yelled as he let out the dragon shaped inferno blast towards the flower.
"That old trick won't work on me. Go get new ones!" Kaoru sneered as a wall of vines countered the attack.
"Sasuke. Stop wasting time! That isn't the real Kaoru!" Kakashi yelled. Sasuke grinned as the vines returned into the plant.
"Bang," Sasuke said as the explosive notes exploded, exposing the plant's insides. He jumped away as the plant seemed to scream in pain. Sasuke tripped on something soft and squishy. He looked down to find a pack. It was Naruto's travel pack; He grabbed it then took off.
"How do we find the real Kaoru?" Sasuke asked Kakashi.
**********************************************************************
"I left them my pack. It has a lot of interesting items. If they find it and use it right they should be able to find her. But I'm not sure if they can defeat her " Naruto sounded sleepy, sitting on the floor, with his eyes closed.
"Kakashi was a genius and also once the leader of the Anbu assassination squad," Tatako said, "He should be able to defeat her- "
"That's true but he isn't an anbu anymore. I think it's been a while since he had a fight like this. When his life was in real danger," Naruto replied, "There's a chance of him being rusty."
"What about you? You got any rust?" Tatako asked, "You not a full time member of the Anbu."
"I am skilled enough to take you down if that what you're saying. I have been sharpening my skills. Bloodlines or no bloodlines," Naruto snapped, "I have a better control over the black rings too,"
*************************************************************************
"The Black Rings at first I thought were part of the Kyubi seal. Whenever the Kyubi was unleashed Naruto went all out. Mange Sharingan and Red Cross at full force. I thought the black rings that appeared on his shoulders were part of the Kyubi but..." Hatch started.
"It's a sign of the neo bloodline SIN," The Hokage sighed. He took out a pipe and let out a cloud of smoke. They were sitting on the Hokage's chamber surrounded by pictures of previous Hokages.
"A merged bloodline. Two bloodlines are needed for that. Naruto has the Red Cross bloodline and the Sharingan bloodline. And he has the high level stamina needed for it," Hokage added, "Naruto is in deed very powerful. He was a sleeping genius. All of his jutsus are Class A or Class S. Even some of the kinjutsu he knows are in those classes. It's possible Naruto could use the SIN bloodline but I believe it's still too early for him. His body is too small to handle a third bloodline."
"I know that. But it's better Naruto knows what it is or he may awaken it and die," Hatch said in a concerned voice, "Naruto is like a brother to me. I came here to ask if you could tell me more. You are the only one in the village who knows all about the SIN bloodline,"
The Hokage sighed again, "The SIN bloodline was the original bloodline of the Leaf. It has roots in numerous villages; few had that bloodline but after the Leaf was created the people with these bloodlines divided. Some focused more on the eyes while other worked on other body parts. The result was the Byakugan and the Crimson Spiral. The Byakugan spawned the Sharingan and the Crimson Spiral spawned the Red Cross," Hokage paused to get his breath back, "The SIN Bloodline demanded a lot. You would need very high stamina, heightened senses, a strong body and a strong mental state. That person would have to be on the levels of the Kages- "
"Which Naruto is, but- " Hatch spoke.
"That he is. Naruto is a possible candidate for the sixth Hokage in a few years. He does have the blood of two Hokages flowing through his veins And I need to chose the fifth soon. Hatch. It was good talking to you. I will have someone inform you when Naruto comes back,"
"Thank you Hokage-sama," Hatch said as he pulled himself up and left. The Hokage stood up and looked at the Yondaime's picture, "Naruto's growing up fast. He had a rough start. But the people are starting to look at him as a Hero. Just like you wanted right Kazama Arashi?"
*************************************************************************
"Naruto hasn't moved for a while now. Is he all right?" Sakura asked.
"He's saving his strength. He has been going into overdrive. He only uses high class jutsu and they take a toll on him," Tatako explained. Suddenly Naruto jumped up, looking as if he had just been sleeping.
"See ya!" Naruto said cheerfully before disappearing.
"What was that?" Sakura asked. Her eyes were still wide and her jaw was almost hitting the ground. It barely moved as she spoke.
"Red Cross. The Line Bound jutsu. It's a time and space jutsu like the ones used in summoning. All Naruto needs is a lot of chakra, but he can't transport a lot of people and the jutsu requires using a very large quantity of chakra," Tatako explained.
"Ok," Sakura answered, still confused.
**************************************************************************
Naruto arrived in a nearly completely burned down forest.
He jumped from branch to branch, "Where are they?" Naruto swung from a branch when he heard battle sounds.
Sasuke was knocked aside by one the vines. Who knew the damn plant could move that fast? Kakashi slashed another vine, cutting it. Sasuke was wearing down but Kakashi Could still fight for a while. The plant itself was missing most it's limbs thanks to both of them.
"The plant's movements are getting wilder," Kakashi noticed, "Sasuke. You have Naruto's pack right? Use it," Sasuke looked through the pack. He found a strange explosive note. Sasuke quickly wrapped it around a kunai.
"Katon Housenka!" Sasuke yelled as let out blasts of fire from his mouth and hid the kunai in one of them.
"A weak attack like that won't even faze Vicious," Kaoru laughed, "Show him Vicious!" The plant puffed out it's self like a man showing off his chest would. The flame died on impact but the kunai hit.
"Bang," Sasuke whispered. A black explosion ripped through Vicious's skin.
'Black fire?' Sasuke thought.
'That was a forbidden note,' Kakashi thought, 'It created an opening My dogs are too small to hold that plant down,'
"Katon Karyuu Endan!" Sasuke yelled. The blast of fire hit the wound the note had made. The plant screamed in pain from the fire burning it's insides. Another scream echoed.
"Kaoru and the plant are sharing a mind," Kakashi realized as he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand. He summoned the chakra to his hand. The chakra formed a ring around him as it entered his hand.
"Sasuke! I need a distraction!" Kakashi whispered. Sasuke jumped back as he made hand seals.
"Power fireball!" Sasuke yelled as he let out a massive blast of fire that in turn engulfed the beast.
"That's it. This is annoying. Vicious! Kill him!" Kaoru's voice yelled. The plant opened it's mouth and a yellow blast charged itself. Sasuke landed on a branch, but the tree seemed to wrap around him.
"What the!?" Sasuke yelled surprised. Kaoru's head came of the tree. She grinned as Sasuke looked down to see her arms holding him in place.
"You'll be killed, so why are you holding me?" Sasuke grinned.
"I'm a clone remember?" Kaoru laughed, "Say hello to the Sun flare jutsu "
"Chidori!" Kakashi yelled as he ran out of the forest.
"No!" Kaoru yelled. When charging up the cannon she couldn't move Vicious. Kakashi drove his arm into the plant's wound. The entire plant was being ripped apart from the inside out. The plant didn't explode or vanish. It simply jumped up then crashed to the ground dead. they heard silence followed by a yell.
"SOUL STEALER!"
*************************************************************************
"They defeated my spirit summoning " Kaoru whispered in her hiding place, "They are indeed very strong "
"They are from Leaf. Each member of the Leaf is strong. That's why the Leaf village is better. A village's strength is determined by not the power of one individual but by the strength of the entire village. The Grass is divided; it is waiting for a leader to lead them " Naruto's voice appeared from nowhere. Kaoru turned around to see him there standing there arms crossed and a serious look on his face.
"I'm not that leader- " Kaoru stated.
"You can be but first..." Naruto uncrossed his arm and he made a few seals.
"I don't have the strength to run or fight," Kaoru said as she held out her arms.
"RED CROSS SKILL!! SOUL STEALER!" Naruto yelled as three spikes of chakra extended from his arm and then shot out at her. Her head flew back as the chakra spikes hit her.
**************************************************************************** **
"Soul taken. Mission complete," Naruto groaned as he walked, or rather, wobbled to the battle site. In his hand was a white orb with some green swirling inside.
"The Grass couldn't care less about Kaoru. They wanted the spirit- line," Naruto spoke as he held the orb up.
"But how did you..." Kakashi started.
"I have my ways. Can we now go to the village already? All of these jutsus I been using are tiring," Naruto grumbled. He turned around and wobbled off, clearly tired. Sasuke growled a bit.
"Calm down Sasuke. Naruto's much more experienced in these sort of situations," Kakashi said, "Don't sweat it."
Kaoru smiled as she disappeared into the forest's shadow.
Author's note
For those who actually saw the author note about the bloodlines. The results are in. Red Cross and SIN. The SIN bloodline was mention but will not appear until the last installment of this story and that's far off. Thanks to my pre-readers Lita of Jupiter and X2DarkLord. This is for Unclear Destiny. Sorry that I didn't send you the last two chapters but it been nearly a week and I'm want to get this out.
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION RED CROSS
For those you didn't see. Red Cross is a jutsu based bloodline. The bloodline requires a large amount of stamina and skill. All of the jutsu are Kinjutsu. All of them are deadly and dangerous.
Line Bounder-A time/space jutsu. It's teleporting. Requires a large amount of chakra. If the user
doesn't have enough chakra the result may be only part of someone being teleport. You
could lose a arm with this.
Soul Stealer-Exorcism jutsu. This jutsu that the demon imprisonment jutsu are based on. The
jutsu takes out the soul of a target or can target part of a soul. The target must be in a
very weaken state of the jutsu will take the user's life in.
SIN
The grandfather of the Sharingan and Red Cross. The real name of this bloodline has been lost since the creation of the Leaf. It's called now the Spiral Initial Neo Bloodline. This is mainly a taijutsu based bloodline but it has several ninjutsu and genjutsu. The bloodline was thought to be lost.
KYUBI
The demon fox's chakra has been completely blocked from Naruto. Only if Naruto focus he could bring it out. The reasoning will be revealed later.
SHARINGAN
Naruto doesn't have the eye make up for use of it. A miracle that Naruto can use it with only blood of a Uchida. The stress that Sharingan puts on Naruto's eyes is about the same as when he goes Fox. The Mange Sharingan is on a whole new level and thus burns out Naruto's eyes after a while. For Naruto. Burning out will be a constant for Naruto.

"Kaoru is fighting at a Class S level now," Naruto said, "Using the Sharingan could make me blind for hours and I can't afford that. I also needed to get Haku out of there. She got hit by a toxic gas attack," Naruto explained.
"Shit. Medic! Do your stuff!" Tatako yelled. Tatako was the oldest of the Anbus and the Third in command. One of the Anbu rushed over to Haku. He took a knife and picked up Haku's arm. She was cold to the touch; Naruto had cooled her down so the poison would spread slower.
"Sakura. You better get out of here," Naruto spoke.
"Why?" Sakura asked. The Medics cut Haku's wrist and poured her blood into a pan. Sakura felt sick at the sight of blood.
"That should be enough." Naruto informed. The Medic Anbu nodded and then wrapped Haku's wrist, stopping the blood flow. Naruto stood up and held out his hand, a fire like glow surrounded his hand, and it burned the blood.
"What about you? One soldier pill wouldn't be enough to restore all of the chakra you used up," Tatako said as he turned around. Naruto was now leaning against the wall as he took in calming breaths. Tatako could see the chakra that was entering Naruto from the blood that he recently burnt.
"This is new," Tatako said in shock. Sakura was completely freaked out. She was getting a crash course in the real world of ninjas. And it wasn't glory and honor all the time.

"So Naruto and his Leaf have arrived?" The Kazekage asked.
"Yes sir but it seems like they ran into some trouble. Kaoru of the Grass attacked them and has killed a team of our ninjas," Baki briefed.
"Where are the Leaf Nins now?" Kazekage asked.
"They're resting at the inn," Baki whispered, "The scroll is with those ninjas who are still fighting in the desert."
"Send out a team of medics to the Inn and send a team to the desert- " Kazekage started but was interrupted.
"Sir, The Leaf at the inn stated with respect that they can take care of themselves. Seems like one of them was a student of Tsunade," Baki said, "And the desert is a deathtrap now, sir."
" Fine, send a team to observe but not to interfere got it?" Kazekage spoke in a strict voice.
"Yes sir." Baki bowed as he turned and left.
************************************************************************
"Katon Karyuu Endan!" Sasuke yelled as he let out the dragon shaped inferno blast towards the flower.
"That old trick won't work on me. Go get new ones!" Kaoru sneered as a wall of vines countered the attack.
"Sasuke. Stop wasting time! That isn't the real Kaoru!" Kakashi yelled. Sasuke grinned as the vines returned into the plant.
"Bang," Sasuke said as the explosive notes exploded, exposing the plant's insides. He jumped away as the plant seemed to scream in pain. Sasuke tripped on something soft and squishy. He looked down to find a pack. It was Naruto's travel pack; He grabbed it then took off.
"How do we find the real Kaoru?" Sasuke asked Kakashi.
**********************************************************************
"I left them my pack. It has a lot of interesting items. If they find it and use it right they should be able to find her. But I'm not sure if they can defeat her " Naruto sounded sleepy, sitting on the floor, with his eyes closed.
"Kakashi was a genius and also once the leader of the Anbu assassination squad," Tatako said, "He should be able to defeat her- "
"That's true but he isn't an anbu anymore. I think it's been a while since he had a fight like this. When his life was in real danger," Naruto replied, "There's a chance of him being rusty."
"What about you? You got any rust?" Tatako asked, "You not a full time member of the Anbu."
"I am skilled enough to take you down if that what you're saying. I have been sharpening my skills. Bloodlines or no bloodlines," Naruto snapped, "I have a better control over the black rings too,"
*************************************************************************
"The Black Rings at first I thought were part of the Kyubi seal. Whenever the Kyubi was unleashed Naruto went all out. Mange Sharingan and Red Cross at full force. I thought the black rings that appeared on his shoulders were part of the Kyubi but..." Hatch started.
"It's a sign of the neo bloodline SIN," The Hokage sighed. He took out a pipe and let out a cloud of smoke. They were sitting on the Hokage's chamber surrounded by pictures of previous Hokages.
"A merged bloodline. Two bloodlines are needed for that. Naruto has the Red Cross bloodline and the Sharingan bloodline. And he has the high level stamina needed for it," Hokage added, "Naruto is in deed very powerful. He was a sleeping genius. All of his jutsus are Class A or Class S. Even some of the kinjutsu he knows are in those classes. It's possible Naruto could use the SIN bloodline but I believe it's still too early for him. His body is too small to handle a third bloodline."
"I know that. But it's better Naruto knows what it is or he may awaken it and die," Hatch said in a concerned voice, "Naruto is like a brother to me. I came here to ask if you could tell me more. You are the only one in the village who knows all about the SIN bloodline,"
The Hokage sighed again, "The SIN bloodline was the original bloodline of the Leaf. It has roots in numerous villages; few had that bloodline but after the Leaf was created the people with these bloodlines divided. Some focused more on the eyes while other worked on other body parts. The result was the Byakugan and the Crimson Spiral. The Byakugan spawned the Sharingan and the Crimson Spiral spawned the Red Cross," Hokage paused to get his breath back, "The SIN Bloodline demanded a lot. You would need very high stamina, heightened senses, a strong body and a strong mental state. That person would have to be on the levels of the Kages- "
"Which Naruto is, but- " Hatch spoke.
"That he is. Naruto is a possible candidate for the sixth Hokage in a few years. He does have the blood of two Hokages flowing through his veins And I need to chose the fifth soon. Hatch. It was good talking to you. I will have someone inform you when Naruto comes back,"
"Thank you Hokage-sama," Hatch said as he pulled himself up and left. The Hokage stood up and looked at the Yondaime's picture, "Naruto's growing up fast. He had a rough start. But the people are starting to look at him as a Hero. Just like you wanted right Kazama Arashi?"
*************************************************************************
"Naruto hasn't moved for a while now. Is he all right?" Sakura asked.
"He's saving his strength. He has been going into overdrive. He only uses high class jutsu and they take a toll on him," Tatako explained. Suddenly Naruto jumped up, looking as if he had just been sleeping.
"See ya!" Naruto said cheerfully before disappearing.
"What was that?" Sakura asked. Her eyes were still wide and her jaw was almost hitting the ground. It barely moved as she spoke.
"Red Cross. The Line Bound jutsu. It's a time and space jutsu like the ones used in summoning. All Naruto needs is a lot of chakra, but he can't transport a lot of people and the jutsu requires using a very large quantity of chakra," Tatako explained.
"Ok," Sakura answered, still confused.
**************************************************************************
Naruto arrived in a nearly completely burned down forest.
He jumped from branch to branch, "Where are they?" Naruto swung from a branch when he heard battle sounds.
Sasuke was knocked aside by one the vines. Who knew the damn plant could move that fast? Kakashi slashed another vine, cutting it. Sasuke was wearing down but Kakashi Could still fight for a while. The plant itself was missing most it's limbs thanks to both of them.
"The plant's movements are getting wilder," Kakashi noticed, "Sasuke. You have Naruto's pack right? Use it," Sasuke looked through the pack. He found a strange explosive note. Sasuke quickly wrapped it around a kunai.
"Katon Housenka!" Sasuke yelled as let out blasts of fire from his mouth and hid the kunai in one of them.
"A weak attack like that won't even faze Vicious," Kaoru laughed, "Show him Vicious!" The plant puffed out it's self like a man showing off his chest would. The flame died on impact but the kunai hit.
"Bang," Sasuke whispered. A black explosion ripped through Vicious's skin.
'Black fire?' Sasuke thought.
'That was a forbidden note,' Kakashi thought, 'It created an opening My dogs are too small to hold that plant down,'
"Katon Karyuu Endan!" Sasuke yelled. The blast of fire hit the wound the note had made. The plant screamed in pain from the fire burning it's insides. Another scream echoed.
"Kaoru and the plant are sharing a mind," Kakashi realized as he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand. He summoned the chakra to his hand. The chakra formed a ring around him as it entered his hand.
"Sasuke! I need a distraction!" Kakashi whispered. Sasuke jumped back as he made hand seals.
"Power fireball!" Sasuke yelled as he let out a massive blast of fire that in turn engulfed the beast.
"That's it. This is annoying. Vicious! Kill him!" Kaoru's voice yelled. The plant opened it's mouth and a yellow blast charged itself. Sasuke landed on a branch, but the tree seemed to wrap around him.
"What the!?" Sasuke yelled surprised. Kaoru's head came of the tree. She grinned as Sasuke looked down to see her arms holding him in place.
"You'll be killed, so why are you holding me?" Sasuke grinned.
"I'm a clone remember?" Kaoru laughed, "Say hello to the Sun flare jutsu "
"Chidori!" Kakashi yelled as he ran out of the forest.
"No!" Kaoru yelled. When charging up the cannon she couldn't move Vicious. Kakashi drove his arm into the plant's wound. The entire plant was being ripped apart from the inside out. The plant didn't explode or vanish. It simply jumped up then crashed to the ground dead. they heard silence followed by a yell.
"SOUL STEALER!"
*************************************************************************
"They defeated my spirit summoning " Kaoru whispered in her hiding place, "They are indeed very strong "
"They are from Leaf. Each member of the Leaf is strong. That's why the Leaf village is better. A village's strength is determined by not the power of one individual but by the strength of the entire village. The Grass is divided; it is waiting for a leader to lead them " Naruto's voice appeared from nowhere. Kaoru turned around to see him there standing there arms crossed and a serious look on his face.
"I'm not that leader- " Kaoru stated.
"You can be but first..." Naruto uncrossed his arm and he made a few seals.
"I don't have the strength to run or fight," Kaoru said as she held out her arms.
"RED CROSS SKILL!! SOUL STEALER!" Naruto yelled as three spikes of chakra extended from his arm and then shot out at her. Her head flew back as the chakra spikes hit her.
**************************************************************************** **
"Soul taken. Mission complete," Naruto groaned as he walked, or rather, wobbled to the battle site. In his hand was a white orb with some green swirling inside.
"The Grass couldn't care less about Kaoru. They wanted the spirit- line," Naruto spoke as he held the orb up.
"But how did you..." Kakashi started.
"I have my ways. Can we now go to the village already? All of these jutsus I been using are tiring," Naruto grumbled. He turned around and wobbled off, clearly tired. Sasuke growled a bit.
"Calm down Sasuke. Naruto's much more experienced in these sort of situations," Kakashi said, "Don't sweat it."
Kaoru smiled as she disappeared into the forest's shadow.
Author's note
For those who actually saw the author note about the bloodlines. The results are in. Red Cross and SIN. The SIN bloodline was mention but will not appear until the last installment of this story and that's far off. Thanks to my pre-readers Lita of Jupiter and X2DarkLord. This is for Unclear Destiny. Sorry that I didn't send you the last two chapters but it been nearly a week and I'm want to get this out.
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION RED CROSS
For those you didn't see. Red Cross is a jutsu based bloodline. The bloodline requires a large amount of stamina and skill. All of the jutsu are Kinjutsu. All of them are deadly and dangerous.
Line Bounder-A time/space jutsu. It's teleporting. Requires a large amount of chakra. If the user
doesn't have enough chakra the result may be only part of someone being teleport. You
could lose a arm with this.
Soul Stealer-Exorcism jutsu. This jutsu that the demon imprisonment jutsu are based on. The
jutsu takes out the soul of a target or can target part of a soul. The target must be in a
very weaken state of the jutsu will take the user's life in.
SIN
The grandfather of the Sharingan and Red Cross. The real name of this bloodline has been lost since the creation of the Leaf. It's called now the Spiral Initial Neo Bloodline. This is mainly a taijutsu based bloodline but it has several ninjutsu and genjutsu. The bloodline was thought to be lost.
KYUBI
The demon fox's chakra has been completely blocked from Naruto. Only if Naruto focus he could bring it out. The reasoning will be revealed later.
SHARINGAN
Naruto doesn't have the eye make up for use of it. A miracle that Naruto can use it with only blood of a Uchida. The stress that Sharingan puts on Naruto's eyes is about the same as when he goes Fox. The Mange Sharingan is on a whole new level and thus burns out Naruto's eyes after a while. For Naruto. Burning out will be a constant for Naruto.
