Uzu no Kuni
After a while, Naruto asked in a calmer voice "What else, Noriko? I thought you mentioned something about chakra?"
"Ummm…yes. There's a record about chakra, specifically, Uzumaki's chakra"
"What about it?" asked Kakashi.
"Well, most of it is what we've learnt in Academy, so I won't go into that. What I found most interesting is that, the writer of this scroll proposed that chakra is energy in its purest form with many potential and it was originally came from one source, Rikudō Sennin since he was known as the founder of shinobi world. When Rikudō Sennin procreated, his progenies were capable of manifesting only selected abilities while the rest remained dormant" said Noriko
"Huh?"
"In simpler words, Rikudō Sennin was proposed to be origin of chakra who knew hundreds and thousands of jutsu. However, when he has kids, his kids were capable of performing only few out of these hundreds and thousands of jutsu while the ability for the rests of the jutsu was locked away until the next progenies were borne" explained Noriko.
"The writer proposed this theory by studying the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan. Members of both clans possessed higher amount of chakra compared to other clan. That was not surprising since both clans were related-" said Noriko.
"Really?" asked Naruto.
"Yup" said Noriko.
Naruto turned to Tenzō and said "Hey, that means you're my cousin!"
"What?!" yelled Tenzō.
"What? Since I'm related to Shodai Hokage, then I'm also related to you since you got his cells" explained Naruto in happiness.
'That's a loose definition of relative' thought Kakashi drily.
"I can't wait to go back Konoha and introduced you as my cousin" said Naruto excitedly while Tenzō was lost in his thoughts.
"Continue about the chakra" said Kakashi with interest.
"However, there is a variation in how members of both clans manifested certain traits. For example, the chakra in both clans has more vitality to it; in the Senju, this vitality was manifested in the Mokuton while in the Uzumaki, the vitality allows the chakra to automatically formed biological components, or healing. I think that explain why you heal faster, Naruto. This also explained why Uzumaki in general lives longer as the chakra continue to repair thus slowed down the aging processes. In a rare case, the chakra can be transferred to another person, allowing him or her to be healed without the first person learning iryō ninjutsu" explained Noriko.
"The writer also wrote that there is a new trait emerged which endowed a few from the younger generation to be capable of turning their chakra into seals in the form of chains. The writer theorized that the new trait was probably dormant but was triggered when after settling in Uzu no Kuni, a lot Uzumaki delved into the Arts of Sealing thus awakened the dormant trait" Noriko finished with her narration.
"Not a bad theory" pondered Kakashi, outloud "I think there is some merits to it. I mean, look at your friend, Gaara. He lives in the dessert and capable of manipulating sands while his father was knows to manipulate gold dusts, which looks like sand. A lot of shinobi from Kirigakure are skilful at water-based jutsu while shinobi from Iwagakure are skilful at earth-based jutsu"
"Sensei" called Noriko.
"What?"
"Was Naruto's mother the previous jinchūriki?" asked Noriko.
"What?!" yelled Naruto
"Where did you get that information?" asked Kakashi, dreading to answer.
"It was written this scroll. The writer wrote that due to good relation, Uzumaki Kushina was sent to Konoha to be the next jinchūriki due to her chakra capacity and chakra capability of turning into chain-seals. The writer also questioned why since the Senju also possessed similar amount of chakra. The question was crossed and something called chakra incompatibility was written as answered" explained Noriko.
Kakashi felt an incoming migraine before said sternly "If I answer truthfully, I want a solemn promise from all of you that you will not look for more information than what I will give you tonight"
He stared at all of his students. Naruto looked about to protest while Noriko looked like she's trying to find a loophole.
"Information regarding Naruto's parents are highly classified. If leaks, it will get you kill. You will be killed as you will be hunted left and right. None of you are prepared for that. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Kakashi gave his best killing intent, resulted in Rajah's appeared and growled ferociously. He had sensed Noriko was highly terrified and jumper to help her
'Uh uh…forget about that one' thought Kakashi before said to Rajah "Sorry Rajah. I was trying to get my students aware of the implication of their action. No enemy"
Rajah blinked and said "I see…where are we? This place feels nice and the air is-" he growled again and said "We've got company"
Kakashi sighed "I guess it's time you got out, Jiraiya-sama"
"Yo!"
