Dual Blood

I Don't Own Naruto

#7

Naruto was happy to be back in Konoha. He took in a deep breath and turned to Kakashi.

"You're dismissed," The retired anbu announced brightly. Naruto instantly jumped away to who-knows-where while Sasuke calmly walked away with Sakura following. As small bird flew overhead Kakashi disappeared.

**************************************************************************

"Hey!" Naruto yelled as he knocked on the door. Hatch opened the door, grinning at his former teammate.

"So you're finally back, eh? The Hokage and I have to talk to you," Hatch informed him "It's about the Black Rings......"

"What is it?" Naruto asked a bit concerned.

"It's nothing life threatening man, but it could be," the young Hyuuga said, "Come on. Dad! I'm heading out ok?"

"Yeah. Oh hey Naruto! You can come over for dinner tonight," Hatch's dad shouted back. Hatch's father was a laid back, kind guy. His mother was a serious woman but good at heart. It took some time before she liked Naruto. The two old comrades walked through the streets of the Leaf heading for the Hokage's tower.

*************************************************************************

"I heard your mission turned into an A-Class one......" Asuma said while puffing on a cigar as Kakashi walked into the lounge.

"It did......" Kakashi said in a bored tone as he sat down and pulled out his book.

"I heard that Hokage-sama sent out the Anbu team." Kurenai sighed, "I'm thankful my mission wasn't that high ranking. Hinata freezes up a lot on her missions......"

"The Hyuga heir right?" the Copy ninja asked, still reading his book.

"Isn't she a friend of Naruto's?" The smoker leader of team 10 asked. Kurenai nodded.

"Then that problem will be solved soon. From what I've heard, Naruto has a lot of 'unofficial' students. Each one learned a lot in a very short amount of time," To which Kakashi contributed "I had him teach Sasuke and Sakura."

"You're entering them into the Chuunin exam already right?" Asuma asked.

"Sasuke is already at Chuunin level. Naruto's on our level at the very least . Sakura doesn't have much battle experience so I don't know about her......" Kakashi said, still reading his dirty book.

"There are some rumors going around that the Hokage has been itching to talk to Naruto,"Kurenaimurmured, "Something about rings and neo things......"

"Rings?" Kakashi stopped reading his book as he looked at Kurenai.

***************************************************************************

NIGHTTIME

"The guy's eyes beams bounced off the glass and hit him right back..." Naruto described his fight with Kyo as Hatch threw in comments here and there. And his parents listened. To most people, these stories would be made up, but those at this table knew better......

"Any new jutsus?" Hatch asked.

"A couple of earth ones. I couldn't use get the grass' jutsus. Poison just isn't my thing......"Naruto explained.

"Poison? You? If I remember you're immune to most of them" Hatch commented.

"So? I learned a few things from medic nins. So what?" Naruto said offhandedly the same time someone knocked on the door. Hatch's Byuukagan activated instantly.

"I'll get it. It's Hinata," Hatch said reaching for his clutches.

"It's ok my dear. I'll get it," Hatch's mom said as she stood up and headed for the door before anyone could say anything. Hinata came over a lot when Naruto was here. She said she felt uncomfortable at the Hyuga mansion even though Hatch and Naruto had to practically interrogate her to get even that tiny bit of info.

"Hey Hinata." The blonde greeted. Hinata nodded as she nervously sat down. Naruto ignored her and he continued with his story, but before he could, Hatch interrupted him.

"How was your mission Hinata?" Hatch asked.

"Hm?...Well...I had a Class C you see...and...We ran into bandits... Kiba-san and Shino-san beat them... Even Kurenai-sensei didn't need to help," Hinata said as her typical stutter made an appearance in the middle of her story.

"Did you do anything?" The infamous tutor asked. Hinata shook her head no. Naruto thought for a second. He and Hatch exchanged a look. An instant conversation took place between them.

"You wanted me to help her right?"

"Of course. She has the power but she needs the confidence to bring it up......"

"I don't know anything about the Hyuga Ryu taijutsu style, you know......"

"But you're the number one motivational speaker in the village and you can't be hurt by the Hyuga Ryu......"

"Alright......"

***********************************************************************

They finished dinner. Naruto and Hatch were sitting cross legged in front of a Go board. At the moment Hatch was wining considering he spent more time playing.

"I go here......" Naruto said as he took his stone and finished his trap. He took a good dozen of Hatch's stones in that one move.

"Damnit!" Hatch said in a fake annoyed tone.

"Hey Hinata! Can I talk to you for a minute?" The carrier of the Kyuubi asked. Hinata looked up from the couch unsure of what to do. Naruto stood up and walked to the dojo, a part of the house where Hatch trains his few students, with Hinata following him. He had his arms crossed over his chest.

"Sorry......" Naruto said. Hinata didn't understand but he atacked her before she could give it a second thought. She blocked all of his attacks but her blocks were weak. Her eyes showed she was scared and close to panicking.

"If you can't focus, you have no chance at performing your missions. On missions you can't have others fight your battles for you......" Naruto said as he attacked with a rain of punches. He aimed them as to appear that they would hit her but if they did get by her defense then they'll miss narrowly. He was pushing her back.

"Ah!" Hinata screamed as she struck Naruto on his chest. Her palm strike was strong. Naruto was thrown back in surprise. She hit him right on the chest.

"Not bad," Naruto said, " But now you need to keep it up......" Naruto said as he charged her. She screamed while attacking. She pressed Naruto's upper body with her two fingers. Naruto slid back rubbing his attacked parts.

'She has skill. That's for sure but is still doing this out of instinct.' He thought. Naruto gathered his chakra under his opening points and forced his it to clear. He trembled a bit as Hinata opened her eyes.

"Oh my god! Are you ok?" Hinata asked quickly.

"I'm ok. The Osmose jutsu lets me absorb chakra," Naruto explained, "Come on sit down,"Naruto leaned against a wall as Hinata sat down a good two feet away.

"In my missions, I've learned that you have to pull your weight. You can't rely on others until you rely on yourself......" Naruto said, "Do you understand Hinata? You need to rely on yourself more. Believe in yourself. You're as good, if not better than any Hyuga I've seen before. Ok?"

"You make it sound so easy but I don't know if I can......" Hinata whispered. She suddenly felt a hand on her head.

"You can do anything you put your mind to," Naruto said, "Believe in yourself and believe in the people who believe in you. I got it. I'll show you a very powerful jutsu ok? I'll make you do the infamous Fire bullet fist, Hogan!"

*************************************************************************

"Where is Naruto?" Sakura asked. They were at the bridge where Team 7 usually met.

"Hey Sakura!" Naruto yelled waiving. Sakura groaned mentally and cursed Naruto. Who looked like he didn't have a body. She looked closely and saw that the sunlight was reflecting Naruto's golden hair, making him look like he was a floating head of light. He grinned as he walked closer.

"Anyone here yet?" Naruto asked. Sakura shook her head. Naruto sat down on the bridge and he looked into the water. A second later Naruto was sitting on water. His whole body was on the water, and it didn't seem to be wet. Sakura was very surprised and puzzled...

"What are you doing idiot?" A voice asked. Naruto was surprised and lost his concentration and falling in the water, and in the process creating a fairly large splash.

"Oh great you bastard......" Naruto said as he got out of water and pulled out a black piece of cloth and tried to dry himself. When Kakashi arrived it was to see a soaked Sasuke and Sakura, with the kunoichi yelling and Sasuke glaring at Naruto. Who was ignoring them as he tried in vain to get himself dry.

"Hey everyone......" Kakashi said.

"You're late!" Sakura yelled.

"Okay, I have some forms. I nominated all of you for the Chuunin Exam. It's up to you guys to go or not. You have two days to decide. I'll leave the rest of the day up to you. No missions today." Kakashi said and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Later." Naruto simply took the form and left, still trying to dry himself.

****************************************************************************

"What to do now? Train? I've done enough of that. Hatch would be busy now, so would Haku. And for once I'm not hungry at the moment. What to do? What to do?" Naruto then heard a shifting noise as a rectangle 'rock' followed him.

"Might as well have some fun," Naruto whispered and then yelled, "I know you're there!" A cloud of smoke appeared along with a lame introduction, and three academy kids. Naruto had met the brat when he was reporting an Anbu mission.

In the end Naruto was convinced to play tag. Naruto was chasing Konohamaru and his group when Konohamaru hit someone with his body because he wasn't looking. Naruto slid to a stop as Konohamaru was lifted by his scarf.

"Let him go......" Naruto said. He recognized the person.

"Why should I......" Kankuro froze when he saw Naruto's serious face. While Naruto was shorter and had to look a bit up it didn't matter, Gaara was short too. Kankuro looked ready to take a dump. It wasn't because Naruto was staring at him but the five kunais hovering around his neck. Naruto was holding up his right hand. His fingers curled. He was controlling them with chakra from his fingertips. One of Naruto's few perfect chakra control jutsus.

Kankuro dropped Konohamaru immediately. Konohamaru kicked Kankuro in the shin as Naruto pulled back his weapons Konohamaru ran behind Naruto with his two friends.

"Where's Gaara?" Naruto asked.

"Eh...He's not here yet. Father thought it would be better for he to come later on......" Kankuro said. Naruto knew the guy was too scared to lie.

"You may be here for the Chuunin exam but watch what you do here," Naruto said, "Come on kids......" Naruto walked away with Konohamaru corp.

***********************************************************************

Naruto walked down the street of the village in search of a shop and found it. The sign above the it read "Yamanaka Flower Shop." Naruto opened the door and the small bell above it chimed. The girl at the desk looked up from her book.

"Hey Naruto," Ino said, "Special order right?"

"Yeah," Naruto said as he looked through the flowers at the shop as Ino went through the order forms.

"Here you go," Ino said as she held out the papers. Naruto jumped onto a nearby stool and started to fill out the form.

"I heard you're on Sasuke's team. Can you get me a date?" Ino asked. Naruto rolled his eyes a bit.

"No," Naruto answered plainly. Thanks to Haku, Naruto was on good terms with all the 'popular' girls. They didn't hate him or at least not out in the open. When they heard that Naruto was on their 'precious' 'Sasuke-sama's team, they asked for personal info on the genius rookie.

"Excuse me," A voice said, "I need to get by," Naruto looked over at the person and nearly fell off the stool in shock. It was Kaoru with black dyed hair and green contacts.

"What are you are doing here?" Naruto whispered.

"I need to hide and make a living right now. The Grass wants my body. I need a place to live for a bit and get some money. Then I'll be on my merry way......" Kaoru whispered back as she watered the flowers. Naruto shook his head and an idea came to his mind.

'Your 1st Hokage was a ninja from the Grass......' Naruto remembered what Kyo saying

'The SIN bloodline was the first bloodline. The 1st Hokage had it,' Naruto remembered the 3rd Hokage telling him when he talked with him.

"Can I talk to you? At the monument at 22h?" Naruto whispered.

"Ok," Kaoru said. She owed him her life. Naruto finished the form and handed it to Ino along with the money and then he left the shop.

**************************************************************************** *

Naruto exhaled as he turned his head slightly as Kaoru appeared.

"What do you want to talk about?" Kaoru asked.

"You ever heard of the SIN bloodline?" Naruto asked.

"A little bit. A powerful bloodline but it was lost. It demanded too much of a person," Kaoru answered, "I heard that your first Hokage was part of the it."

"The 1st Hokage is my great, great grandpa......" Naruto answered.

"I see. That's why you're such a great ninja." Kaoru said. Naruto laughed a bit.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm the son of the Fourth too," Naruto said.

"What!?!"

"I've been told that I can use the Sin bloodline because I have two bloodlines that spawned from it."

"The SIN bloodline from the little I heard uses a special taijutsu style that attacks the physical and the inner coils at the same time but I heard that some people died when they tried to activate the bloodline."

"That's a theme to my power. Everything has a price......"

"Power is something you earn, It's never given, no matter what it seems," Kyo said.

"I know. When are you planning on leaving?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe in two or three months. There's a whole world out there and with many secrets to be learned" "I may join you on that quest,"

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yeah. The Leaf doesn't have much left to teach me. It doesn't mean I'm abandoning the konoha but I need to grow."

"I understand. It's better to have company during your travels. I got to go."

"See ya......"

**************************************************************************** *

Naruto waited in front of the building where the exams were taking place. He looked around, noting that nobody was around. Naruto pulled up his sleeve to reveal the seal.

"Summoning. Kage Ryu," Naruto whispered. A cloud of smoke appeared along with a dragon wrapped around his arm. Naruto looked into the dragon's eyes and the dragon started to fade as Naruto pulled down his sleeve. His new uniform was gift from his last birthday that Hatch and Hinata supposedly gave him. It was a different version of his normal outfit. It was an orange sport jacket with a dark color at his shoulder and pockets. His pants were orange jeans. Naruto also had a 'belt' of lines and a music headset.

"What took you so long?" Sakura asked as Naruto walked up to them. Sasuke noticing the strange air around Naruto's shoulder where the dragon was resting invisible.

"The test doesn't start yet so let's go......" Naruto said. They headed for the third floor. As Naruto came to the second floor he noticed the mid-level genjutsu. Looking over his shoulder at his teammates. He saw that they too could see through the illusion. They watched as a kid with bowl hair cut was knocked to the ground by two 'kid Chuunins'.

'Leave them here. If they don't see through it they don't deserve to be Chuunins,' Naruto thought. Sasuke didn't share that idea. Halfway to the stairway Naruto heard Sasuke.

"I'm going to the Third Floor. Drop the genjutsu from here already," The 'last' Uchiha warned.

'Idiot... Don't show off,' Naruto thought. One of the Chuunins commented on Sasuke's observation then attacked with a kick. Sasuke threw his only kick. Naruto was ready to strike when the bowl head stopped both kicks.

"Faster than me," Naruto whispered as he tried to remember him. The guy was a Leaf Nin.

***********************************************************************

LAST YEAR

"The main star group for this year is a team I called 3B," Hatch said.

"3B?"

"Break. Bleed. Blades. Lee Rock will break your bones. Neji Hyuga will make you bleed, Tenten attacks with blades," Hatch answered, "Neji's a genius even among the Hyuuga clan Lee is a Taijutsu specialist. Tenten's a weapons expert......"

***************************************************************************

"Rock Lee," Naruto stated quietly then spoke up, "Sasuke. Come on. Stop wasting our time," Naruto walked ahead. Naruto walked at the stairs with Sasuke and Sakura following. Naruto spoke up.

"This is a Chuunin Exam. Not a place to show off," Naruto grumbled, "Let's go......" Naruto sensed a low level chakra belonging to Rock Lee.

"What do you want?" Naruto yelled as Lee jumped down. It went downhill from there from Lee admitting his love to Sakura and Sasuke accepting the thick eyebrow's challenge.

"Hey Sasuke! Cool it! You can't beat him. He's too fast. The Spiral Fist wouldn't be enough to beat him," Naruto said. Like always unless Naruto forced Sasuke to do something, he was ignored, and the dark haried member of team 7 walked towards Lee. Naruto shook his head and walked to the wall then sat down against the wall and waited.

After a bit of Sasuke getting beaten up, Sakura yelled.

"Naruto! Help him already!" Sakura yelled worried about her love.

"It's his fight. I told him not to fight, but he wouldn't listen," Naruto said. He easily watched Lee's movement with his normal eyes.

"Iron Fist style. Fast speed assault of punches and kicks. The kid has a lot of strength and speed. Sasuke isn't in condition to deal with this. He'll last long because of the Spiral Fist and his Sharingan but I only showed Sasuke the lowest level taijutsu style I know," Naruto muttered. He sensed a charka gathering in Lee's body then heard Lee's muscles tighten.

"Shit," Naruto said as Lee did a vertical side kick sending Sasuke flying through the air. He then saw Lee unbind his bandages.

'The Initial Lotus!! Shit,' Naruto thought as he prepared to interfere but a kunai hit the bandages. A turtle started to scold the green clad ninja, then a bigger verison of the said shinobi appeared. Gai Maito, Lee's Jounin instructor. The Jounin called, at least by Naruto, Mr. Weirdo of the Year. Gai appeared behind Team 7. Naruto reacted out of instinct, and a moment later Gai was on the ground holding his stomach where Naruto elbowed him.

"Hey Gai. I thought you knew to never sneak up on me," Naruto grumbled as he headed for the double doors.

'So all of those rumors are true...... Due to a series of assassination attempts on his life he has developed a lightning quick reaction speed rivaling a Sennin' Kakashi thought as his team walked towards him. He explained the details on that a team was needed to do

"Let's start this," Naruto said as he opened the doors and took the first step towards his goals. Author's note The Chuunin exam has started and Naruto's really ticked off.
