Foreword: ... Again? o.o I don't know how many chapter bits I'll be able to come up with on this, but I'll keep tossing 'em in whenever I have 22 to add to it, I guess. Same rules as the last one; I've got a bajillion theories and plotlines in each of these, and the world is considerably better off not having to read every single one of them. Enjoy them for what they are: Disconnected snapshots.

Konoha's ninja clans share a long, varied history.

The Akimichi were originally formed from a combination of Samurai, Daimyo and sumo wrestlers. The Nara and Yamanaka were their servants; Nara were gamekeepers and medicine men, Yamanaka were gardeners and house spies. The Aburame come from a long line of entomologists and insect farmers, and the Inuzuka come from an even longer line of kennel owners. In fact, there are still dozens of Inuzuka kennels run across the world; Kiba has the largest extended family of any Konoha ninja.

The Bloodline Clans, once numbering five and now barely clinging to four, also share a long, equally varied history. The Uchiha were derived from the sons of a policewoman, and the Hyuuga were originally a bunch of con-artists, mystics and seers who developed the Byakugan through Kinjutsu and eugenics; it was a way to make their lies into reality.

No-one is quite sure what gave rise to the nearly-extinct Akado, the Tsurugi were originally contortionists. Only its last surviving son, Tsurugi Yashagoro, still knows this.

Of all of Konoha's 'normal' shinobi clans, the Inuzuka are the closest to becoming a Bloodline. Every generation, their teeth become a bit sharper and their senses just a little more accute. Their ability to communicate with their dogs becomes better and their Ninjutsu more natural. When they do become a proper Bloodline though, they will differ from their contemporaries for one simple reason: They are more than a simple clan.

They are a family. They do not marry their kinsmen, they do not hate outsiders, they do not breed insane prodigies and traitors. They are family; brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, cousins, mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles. They support each other, they are loyal to each other and they are outwardly more emotional than either the frigid Uchiha or the arrogant Hyuuga, both of whom are or were in the midst of being eaten alive by internal conflict.

So, when Inuzuka Kiba's father doesn't come back from a mission one day, no-one so much as bats a dismissive eye at his tears.

They share in them.

And that one loss makes them all so much stronger because of it.

Once upon a time, the Legendary Sannin splintered in the middle of a mission. It happened in the heat of battle; Orochimaru attempted to perform a new Kinjutsu and ended up slaughtering half of the enemy on his own, throwing them into disarray and rendering himself unconscious. Tsunade became indisposed when her lover, Dan, was injured and in need of treatment. Jiraiya, however, was the one who snapped the most.

The enemy was a Thunder-nin named Sarashina. When the battle was all said and done, Gama Bunta's eye was forever scarred and his belly filled with a giant dragonfly. Sarashina lay on the ground, bleeding from more wounds than any human could survive. His right eye was gone, his arm with it and his back broken completely. Jiraiya stood over him in far better shape, but only because his arm and eye were in place and his spine was intact.

Whatever enmity the two had, it predated Jiraiya's relationship with the other Sannin. When it was all over though, and when he had the chance to kill Sarashina on the spot, he didn't.

Instead, he stared down at him, huffed out a small red cloud from his nostrils and turned away. He said something, but no-one was close enough to hear it. Then he walked over to where Tsunade was standing, Dan's bloody form leaned against her own and Orochimaru slung over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and gave her one of those rare looks. The ones that scare her, because they pierce more deeply through her layers of protection than anything ever should.

Then Dan coughed up blood, Jiraiya wordlessly grabbed Orochimaru and walked away.

Tsunade has never once told anyone of this story. She has also never told anyone about the record of a Samurai Clan being massacred on the edge of Konoha territory, nor has she told anyone that a man named Sarashina was suspected as being involved. Ever since then though, Tsunade has looked at Jiraiya and felt like she never really knew him at all.

Of the three new Genin teams in Konoha, one thing can be said of Ebisu's: Its resident Genius is frightening to all who can see past his glasses to the boy beneath.

Konohamaru is the team's generalist. In much the same way that his uncle, father and grandfather all specialized in nothing, he is a jack of all trades and a master of none. Moegi is the team's kunoichi, a girl who, like Ino and Sakura before her, is more obsessed with boys at this age than she is with techniques. Where Ino and Sakura were content with lusting for a simple tragic genius though, Moegi has her standards set far higher: She wants the Kazekage, Gaara.

Then there is Udon.

The least noticed, most dangerous member of the team. Even at eleven, when he becomes a Genin a year younger than the previous Rookie Nine, he is already smarter than Ebisu. More to the point: He is driven and attentive, studious and bearing few scruples. He learns from those who came before him, and where Konohamaru is obsessed with equalling Naruto, and Moegi just wants to become a talented kunoichi to lure Gaara's attentions, Udon is busily studying his predecessors. He is especially attentive to the last Rookie Nine and their mentors.

From Naruto, he takes ingenuity and unpredictability. From Nara Shikamaru, he learns the value of planning ahead, but from Aburame Shino, he learns the value of planning within plans with brutal swiftness and efficiency. From Uchiha Sasuke, he learns to depend only on himself, and from Akimichi Chouji, he learns the value of being able to allow others to depend on him. From Inuzuka Kiba, Udon learns that controlled savagery pays off, and from Yamanaka Ino, he comes to appreciate the kind of deception that most people pass off as airheadedness and a wild temper.

From their teachers, Udon takes more.

Kakashi gives him an appreciation for a cool head to accompany the genius he takes from Shikamaru and Shino, combining it with an obsessive need for variety. Kurenai gifts him with a love for Genjutsu, but Asuma inspires him to balance it with Taijutsu and a pair of razor-sharp steel knuckles.

He puts all of these to work in the Chuunin Exams. He aces the team through the written part, and when the Forest of Death splinters them, Udon singlehandedly kills two other teams and takes their scrolls. In the preliminaries, he declares himself to the world that unwittingly ignored him by besting an older Genin from the Stone. At first, he plays the game of losing battle with his opponent; allowing himself to be cornered, taking a few shots here and there...

Then he places his enemy in a Genjutsu. A basic one, to be specific; a starter for something more. While his foe is taken by this, Udon places him in a second, more complex Genjutsu. Then he uses his foe's distraction to plant a Blast Note between his shoulderblades. The first Genjutsu breaks and Udon allows his opponent to see him under a statue where the instructors once stood. The boy runs towards it, and Udon allows the second Genjutsu to drop out of sheer vindictiveness.

When the Blast Note goes off, the explosion topples the statue and kills his opponent instantly. Udon exits the ring to the loudest unspoken cries of horror he has ever heard, and a part of him likes it more than he would ever admit.

Later though, in the tournament for the Exams, Udon comes to the realization that he has more to learn. This lesson is taught to him by a fellow Leaf, a Genin named Takeshi. He breaks free of Udon's Genjutsu, survives his brutality and powers through his Taijutsu, ending the fight in a bloody stalemate. Neither Genin drops, but Udon learns to have a fine appreciation for brute force and stubborn egomaniacal determination.

After the Exams, when Tsunade hands him his Chuunin vest, Udon wears it with the knowledge that he is incomplete. He refuses to admit it, but he always will be.

The Sound bears an even more intricate, complicated and often perverse series of connections than the Leaf. Not all of these bonds are tangible, and many aren't even natural, but they exist. They do so in frightening number, and they're part of why Orochimaru has been able to keep his scattered forces in line for so long. Kinjutsu experimentation is the source for a lot of it.

Jiroubou of the Stone, for instance, gained his chakra suction abilities from Akado Yoroi's blood. While he was not a natural member of the Clan, Yoroi adopted him anyway. Within a week, Jiroubou had combined the Akado techniques with his own family's sumo background, mastering them completely in much the same way that Hatake Kakashi mastered the Sharingan. Ironically, the very sumo background that spawned him also connected Jiroubou to the boy who eventually killed him: Akimichi Chouji's ancestral grandfather was the younger brother to Jiroubou's own.

Orochimaru himself bears connections within connections to his many subordinates. By blood, he has been twice related to Tsurugi Misumi. Once, in his original body, he was Misumi's uncle. Then, in his second body, he was Misumi's sister. That he spent the better part of half a decade having to Henge into his own natural gender never bothered Orochimaru at all. In a lot of ways, he relished it. Transcending gender made him feel like he was one step closer to transcending death.

Of course, if you ask most people, the only thing Orochimaru ever transcended was his sanity.
6
There are three legendary groups of swordsmen in the world of the Shinobi: The Nine Blades of Wind, the Seven Swordsmen of Mist and the Three Sabers of Stone.

There is only one Kusanagi though, and as Orochimaru thinks of binding shadows in the dark, he finds that he rather prefers it that way.
7
After two and a half years away, Uzumaki Naruto returns to the Hidden Leaf to find that he has, inexplicably, become popular with the ladies. The four kunoichi of the Rookie Nine and Gai's team--Hinata, Sakura, Ino and TenTen--adopt him into their group. Over the next few months, between battles for his life, Naruto becomes privy to anything and everything.

When they hold sleepovers, he is the only male present. When they go shopping, he gets dragged along to provide advice on what looks attractive. When they need advice about boys, they go to him, because he is a boy, and he does like girls, but he isn't a pig, so that somehow makes him one of them. Along the way, he becomes their spy in the male community, but more than that: He learns things. He sees every single one of them nude and in lingerie, sleeps in the same bed as three out of four of them and somehow manages to avoid being beaten over the head for any of it.

He is a source of pure honesty. He gives his advice without criticism, but he gives his criticism without spite. He gives them all tips on how to look better, what men look for and what they really want. He helps them bond, and in doing so, he becomes something far more than a friend and far different from a lover.

At first, the other male ninja are in awe. Then they are curious. Then, finally, there is jealousy. One day, Kiba storms up to him with several others at his back. Naruto is at the Ichiraku, left flank more or less swamped with four kunoichi. Kiba grabs him, yanks him out of his seat and demands to know: "How in the HELL do you do that?" All the while, he has a finger pointed at the girls.

Naruto greets his question with a blank look. For a few seconds, he stays quiet, completely unphased in a situation where most guys would tremble like frightened animals. The eyes of four women trained in killing are locked to him, as are the eyes of at least as many men with the same murderous talents. He remains calm though, and eventually, gives his answer: "My favorite meat is pork, I've seen cherry-blossoms bloom and I've felt the sun's warmth. It's true what they say: A little heaven can be found here and there."

To a chorus of blank, questioning expressions, Naruto pries Kiba's fingers off and sits back down to continue eating his ramen.

The guys don't get it, and they rather dislike him for it. The girls do get it, and they love him all the more for it.

Naruto though?

Naruto gets that what he just said is actually perverted as all Hell. On the inside, he's smiling because of it.

Of all of Konoha's former Genin Teams tracing the lineage from Namimaru to Kakashi, there are certain constants that no-one has ever really noticed. It can only be seen in battle, and while the rules say that all ninja must see underneath the underneath, no-one says anything about looking next to it. It's one of those minor details that no-one notices unless they're watching from the sidelines, and even then, it's a realization that's quickly, quietly forgotten, just like the Shinobi themselves.

The constants are solid, and no matter how much each team unwittingly tries to avoid them, they are inescapable.

The genius battles with his mind, whether he is truly brilliant or just possessed of uncommonly common sense. The kunoichi battles with her soul, whether she is merciful, vengeful or just doing her job. The hard worker battles with his heart, whether it is tainted black or as pure as the falling snow.

Uchiha Sasuke likes to think that he thrives in battle, but he doesn't. Although no-one seems to realize it, he spends too much time thinking. This is why he knew to fear Orochimaru, why he telegraphed the Chidori to Itachi and why he eventually went mad enough to abandon his comrades in search of power. Even in a fight, where life and death are determined by split seconds, he thinks through his every step.

Haruno Sakura likes to think that she doesn't belong in battle, but she does and she knows it. That's why, when she strikes the ground and forces Kakashi out of hiding, she's biting back a smile that would put the fear of God into an athiest. Her spirit, seemingly unbreakable, is the greatest source of strength she has. Chiyo learned this firsthand, and because of it, she died with a smile all her own, hoping that one day, Sakura's spirit wouldn't have to be sacrificed to bring another victim of ignorant ruthlessness back to life.

Uzumaki Naruto lives in battle. Every single day is a new fight for him; be it a fight for life, pride, sanity, right or wrong. Where Sasuke mistakenly believes he belongs in battle and Sakura is in an odd state of partial denial, Naruto lives, breathes, eats and sleeps combat. It is the only place where he can truly lift the fox mask and show his face to those he confronts; he transforms from the prankster idiot to a magnificent warrior before the eyes of anyone watching. Few would admit it, but when he is stained in blood, surrounded by enemy Shinobi and smiling like the very demon locked away in his stomach, Naruto is more beautiful than any weapon should be.

Everyone who has seen him fight knows this. Even so, only a select few of them have ever taken the knowledge to heart. Of them, Iruka was first, Sasuke the least willing, Sakura the loudest, Hinata the most sincere and Neji the most frightened.

Out of all the Rookie Nine, the one that Neji fears the most is not Naruto or Sasuke. It is Aburame Shino.

Shino is like the older brother that Hinata never had but always needed; loyal and protective, unnervingly brilliant and quietly vengeful.

The proof of this is that during the month leading up to the Chuunin Exams' finals, Shino routinely slipped bugs through the Hyuuga estate. The only time Neji ever noticed the bugs was when Shino wanted him to, and even then, he was always sure that there were a hundred more hiding just out of his sight. To this day, Neji sleeps lightly. He does so because he knows that Shino can and will kill him in his sleep if anything ever happens to Hinata.
10
Three days before his departure, Naruto and the other remaining members of the Rookie Nine held an impromptu eating contest.

When all was said and done, Ino cried, Chouji broke his seat, Shikamaru was throwing up from food poisoning, Shino looked a sickly shade of green, Kiba passed out, Hinata was hallucinating and Naruto screamed obscenities for five hours straight.

Sakura has since given up the idea of cooking and gotten used to the joys of take-out.
11
Uzuki Yuugao changed her name a few days after the Kyuubi's sealing.

It was originally Uzumaki.

Naruto does not know this, and he probably never will.
12
Yuuhi Kurenai was originally a social reject of similar standing to both Hyuuga Hinata and Haruno Sakura. Where the latter found a friend who elevated her, and the former had wealth and prestige to keep people from bullying her, Kurenai had neither.

Not at first, anyway.

She excelled at all the girly things that kunoichi should, learning the art of flowers, the fashions of every foreign nation in existence, customs that she didn't even understand and laws that she didn't even want to understand. Unfortunately, her bookworming and the blood red eyes that were her namesake--eyes not blessed with a Bloodline, like the Uchiha--left her with no friends. Eventually, Kurenai began practicing Genjutsu to try and hypnotize herself a friend.

It didn't quite work. The boy, Hatake Kakashi, gave her a black eye for her efforts. His teammate, however, gave Kakashi a black eye in response. Then he helped Kurenai up, walked her to a medic and then walked her home.

Uchiha Obito was Kurenai's first friend. She didn't have to hypnotize him into it. Because of this, she honestly believed him when he said he was late because he had to get cats out of trees, or help old ladies cross the street. She believed it because he was telling the truth.

Then one day, when Kakashi returns from a mission without a teammate, bearing a Sharingan that isn't his and a new perspective forged in blood, only Kurenai finds any sort of amusement in it. It's bittersweet, because his new eye is in the same place that Obito blackened in her defense.

Following this, Kurenai makes a genuine attempt to reach out to him. Kakashi has been her friend ever since.
13
Out of all of Konoha's legendary ninjas--the Sannin, the Sandaime, the White Fang and others--only Jiraiya has aged well.

Ironically, he is also the reason why most of the others have not aged well. He is the one who drove frown lines into Homura and Kaoru's faces. He is the one who helped Sakumo realize that friends are more important than sacrifice, which lead to his death. He is the one who made Orochimaru fear death, and he is the one who made Tsunade fear time. He even quickened Sarutobi's aging.

He did the latter three with just one sentence: "Ain't apeface startin' to look old?"

It was a casual mention; a joke spoken over ramen after a mention. Because of it, Sarutobi actually realized that, yes, he was getting old and there was nothing he could do about it. Tsunade realized that her little girl's dream of marrying the Sandaime--because he was the best and compared to him, all men were inferior--was impossible because he would be too old when she finally came of age. Orochimaru realized that he too would die, be it of old age or a death in the field caused by its rigors.

Because of this, Tsunade developed her false youth technique. Orochimaru created his soul transfer. Sarutobi withered.

Years later, when Jiraiya meets them all again on the field of battle, Sarutobi is already dead and burned. Orochimaru's arms are crippled and his body is starting to degenerate. Tsunade's ageless mask of beauty eventually crumbles, giving way to a wrinkled husk that he can only barely recognize.

Of them all, only Jiraiya has aged with any grace and dignity. When he points this out to Tsunade, hoping that it would distract her from their inability to kill Orochimaru and win the battle, she just gives him one of those scathing looks that burns in his chest. Then, with a wrinkled, spiteful little smile, she speaks.

"You win, asshole. Don't rub it in."
14
Following the ascension of the Godaime Hokage and Kazekage, Konoha and Suna's relations improve drastically. So well, in fact, that intervillage dating not only becomes plausible, but commonplace.

The first of these relationships is, contrary to popular belief, not Shikamaru and Temari--both of whom refuse to admit to any sort of relationship whatsoever. Rather, it is Kankurou and TenTen. As puppeteering and weapons manipulation are close to one another, the two of them hit it off with only a few conversations. By the end of the first three months of their relationship, Temari has accepted TenTen, and Lee and Neji are no longer (actively) trying to kill Kankurou. In the end, it is TenTen who teaches Kankurou how to seal things into scrolls, and while his Village leaders show much interest in obtaining Konoha's method of scroll sealing, Kankurou repeatedly blocks them at every turn.

Eventually, when the relationship collapses due to a mutual lack of interest and the distances involved, Kankurou relents. In a way.

He learns how to perform sealings in the Suna style. Then he burns the ones he learned from TenTen, and presents the new ones to examiners so that they can be picked apart. When they find no differences whatsoever, Kankurou smiles and tells them that they aren't looking hard enough.
15
Among the ANBU's illegal Root organization, there exists a boy.

In the present day, he refers to himself as Sai. To date, he is the only individual ever born into the ANBU, and although he doesn't really care, he has always had a lifelong S-ranked mission.

If the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki ever loses control, Sai is the one who is supposed to kill him. He is like a swordbreaker; a weapon designed to break other weapons into pieces. It is by this logic that he lives, and it is by this logic that he has turned his art into a means for killing his enemies.

However, Naruto is not a weapon. He can't be, simply because he looks more artistic than anything Sai has ever drawn in his life. A swordbreaker is of little use for trying to destroy artwork.

When Sai finally realizes this, he doesn't know why, but he thinks of tearing out Danzou's remaining eye and jamming a paint brush through the socket.
16
Konohamaru rarely speaks with his uncle. Though Asuma is technically his legal guardian now, their conversations rarely consist of more than short sets of questions and answers; what mission, why it's being taken, where it's going to lead him, when will he be back...

Never once have they asked if each other is okay. They share a house, but they don't share a home. Konohamaru is the scion of the Sarutobi family, one of the closest things Konoha has to nobility. Asuma is his own man.

That is how they are, and that is how they will be...

But when Konohamaru passes his Genin tests, it is Asuma--not Iruka, not Ebisu, not Homura or Kaoru--who is first to congratulate him and present him with his forehead protector.
17
If you ask Tsunade, Shizune is the last member of her family. Her mother and father are dead, her uncles are deceased and she has no grandparents whatsoever.

This is a lie.

Shizune has disowned her only living relatives. This is the real reason Danzou despises Tsunade, and it is also why Shizune doesn't even know about her nephew.
18
A little known fact is that the Yondaime was inspired to create Rasengan from watching a pair of Hyuuga brothers beat the tar out of each other. At first, he merely wanted to copy their technique. Much to their chargrin, he succeeded with ease. Unfortunately, without the Byakugan to help guide and control all of that chakra, it had the odd tendency of blowing his clothes off.

So he adapted and formed the Rasengan instead. When he fought one of the brothers--Hizashi--in his first Chuunin Exam, he responded to the jab of 'pocket Kaiten rip-off' by blowing Hizashi into the stands as he was performing Kaiten.

Coincidentally, it was around this time that people actually started believing Jiraiya when he said that the yellow-haired brat was going to become Hokage whether they liked it or not.
19
The births of the Rookie Nine were all unusual in that eight of them were attended by the Yondaime.

Sakura's mother had her water break as she was serving him ramen, Ino's mother had her own break when she was selling him flowers. Kiba's mother was treating his dog for rabies, Shino's parents had been discussing whether or not their clan's practice of signing contracts with the bugs at birth was legal. Shikamaru's parents had been selling him deer meat for his anniversary and Chouji's parents had been organizing an upcoming sumo event with him. All of these were accidents, and although he didn't have to, the Yondaime stayed with each mother all through the birthing process.

Sasuke and Naruto were different.

With Sasuke, the Yondaime only saw his birth right as he finished leaving the womb. He had been on his way to see a doctor when an Uchiha named Itachi passively asked him to bless his soon-to-be-born brother.

With Naruto, he arrived in time to personally cut the umbilical cord.

Of the Rookie Nine, only Hinata was born without the Yondaime present.

He was already dead.

Ironically, Hinata was the only one born into ruin, on a snowy day in December.
20
Kiba is the first one among the Rookie Nine or Gai's Team to lose his virginity. He does so in a one-night stand with a girl from the Nekoteinei Clan.

Ironically, it happens on a kitchen table. Within two minutes, as they were pulling their pants up, Akamaru confused her cat for a chew toy. The two haven't spoken since.
21
Hyuuga Hinata's first kill is the most violent of anyone in her class, outdoing even Chouji's defeat of Jiroubou in terms of sheer maliciousness.

She doesn't know why she went so far over the edge, nor does she particularly care anymore. All she knows is that Kurenai's life was on the line, Shino was busy with two enemies and Kiba and Akamaru were nowhere in sight. So she isolated one of their enemies and began striking him. She doesn't know why, but somewhere in the middle of it all, she started seeing him as Naruto--he was blond-haired, after all. Then something just snapped inside her and the face she struck became Neji, then Hiashi, then Hanabi, then so many more, every single one of them changing from each blow she delivered.

By the time it was all said and done, her opponent was barely recognizeable as a human being. Kiba and Shino pulled her off of his corpse, and Kurenai later informed her that she had struck him at least three hundred times.

He was dead at less than half that.

Hinata still has nightmares about it to this day.
22
One day, Jiraiya 'rents' Naruto out to a less-than-well-off village in the middle of nowhere under the auspices of making some money by doing charity work.

The truth is that Jiraiya is a bored, bored, bored sadist and he's having writer's block so he wants someone else to share in his suffering.

The villagers, however, have faith in the Shinobi. So they ask Naruto to do something--anything--in order to make their village into a tourist town that can compete with any other in the world. Naruto, being Naruto, accepts this challenge, swearing to them that he'll come up with the greatest attraction any of them will ever see in their lives.

That night, he's left alone in the desert, about a mile from the village. Left to his own devices, his doubts and his resolve, he begins to experiment. First he tries to create one of Jiraiya's underworld swamps, but gives up halfway when he realizes that a smelly deathpit isn't going to draw anyone. Then he decides to create Kage Bunshin.

He talks to them for a while, mulls things over and, when nothing seems to come, Naruto decides to experiment for real. He heads away from his Kage Bunshin, then guides them into circling around one individual. He has them start molding chakra onto this individual, even as that particular Kage Bunshin is shunting it out at every possible angle. After a while, it begins to look like he's completely encased in a body-wide Rasengan, glowing as hot and yellow as the sun itself. Naruto is, eerily, reminded of Kaiten.

Then the clones lose control.

The resulting explosion gouges out a three mile wide, two mile deep crater that's shaped like a steep bowl. So similar to a bowl, in fact, that the bottom is completely covered with what looks like molten glass.

Naruto knows that the villagers will arrive soon, wondering what in the Hell just happened. Jiraiya will be with them, and Naruto does not want to have to deal with an angry pornographer who can kill people with his hair.

So he improvises. He summons Gama Bunta and gets him to fill the crater with water, cooling the molten glass and leaving cracks in it that lead straight to the sand below. Along the way, Bunta's cannonballs split open the way to an actual underwater river running in from the ocean.

By the time the villagers and Jiraiya finally arrive, Gama Bunta is gone and Naruto is floating around in the newly formed lake. The next day, the village leaders announce plans to become a resort town; an oasis in the desert. In his honor, they name it the Great Naruto Lake.

Around the world, ninja take notice. There's a new Hokage coming, and he's already leaving his mark everywhere he goes.

Author's Note: The Akado and Tsurugi clans are the ones belonging to Kabuto's two teammates in the Chuunin Exams. Most people don't count them as Bloodlines; I do. The Shizune-related-to-Danzou thing was just a crack!idea. Likewise with Kiba losing his virginity, though I do believe the Inuzuka to be on the verge of becoming a Bloodline Clan.

Everything else, you can figure out yourself.
