Hidden by the Fox
Chapter 9: Chakra, Atoms, and Genes
The Ninja's guide has this to say on the Kaguya Clan: This clan was notorious all over the ninja world for their bloodline, the Dead Bone Pulse, which allowed them to manipulate their skeletal structure, and their cold and bloodthirsty nature.
The Kaguya clan played a very active role in Water Country's civil wars and in the great Shinobi Wars. When the wars were over, instead of joining a Hidden Village, they formed a nomadic band and began to act as mercenaries. The Kaguya clan was mostly wiped out when they attacked the group of missing-nins that would later form the Hidden Fox Village. The only two living members are Kimimaro Kaguya, who was only a baby at the time, was picked up the soon to be Fox-nins, and Kashi Kaguya, who retreated from the battle for reasons unknown.
The guide also has this to say on Kaguya Kashi: One of the last members of the bloodthirsty Kaguya clan, Kashi has been seen all over the elemental countries. He has been killing nearly anyone who crosses his path, leaving alive only those who run. The lords of the Elemental Countries have labeled him as an S-class criminal, and have placed a 500,000,000 yen bounty on his head. He was last seen in water country, after he slaughtered a team of Mist Chunin.
"Okay, first what chakra control exercises do you know, and or have mastered?" Obito asked the six Gennin.
"W-we know the Tree Walking Exercise," Hinata said. "We are also working on the Water Walking exercise right now."
"Same here," Sasuke remarked.
"Okay, go and practice the Water Walking exercise. Give us a call when you have it done."
The Gennin walked to a river and started to walk on the water. After about five minutes, Hinata took out a book on medicinal herbs and began reading.
"What's with the book?" Sasuke asked.
"We're trying to master the exercise to the degree in which we can do it automatically." Haku explained. "If we can read a book while doing the exercise correctly, we should be able to do it automatically." Haku pulled out his own book which was a book on genetics.
"Genetics?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yes, it is quiet fascinating," Haku said. "Ever wonder why Sakura's hair is pink, when her mom has red hair, and her dad has white hair?"
"A bit," Sasuke stated.
"Well, from what I gather, it is something called Co-Dominance. The gene for red hair, which Sakura got from her mom, has equal dominance with the gene for white hair, which Sakura got from her dad, resulting in the genes manifesting as pink hair."
"Interesting," Sasuke remarked.
"There is also a section on bloodlines here. One of the theories of the origin of bloodlines is demonic, elven, angelic, or draconic blood that has been watered down so much it manifests as a bloodline."
"Meaning that one of my very distant ancestors could have been a demon…" Sasuke said to himself. "What are you reading Naruto?"
"A book on atomic theory," Naruto answered. "Hey Haku! I think I have a way you can create water from nothing."
"Really?" Haku asked excited.
"Yes, try to fuse hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the air together," Naruto instructed.
Haku tossed his book on the bank of the river and made a hand seal. Water began to form in front of Haku's face. When it was about the size of a soft ball, Haku let the water fall.
"It is very easy to do, it just requires a ton of chakra," he explained.
"Let me try!" Naruto yelled. Naruto made a hand seal. A ball of water about the size of a beach ball was formed. "You're right Haku," he commented, "this is pretty easy compared to water walking, but it uses a ton of chakra."
Naruto picked up his book and began reading. "I just got another idea!" He exclaimed. "This book says solids, liquids, and gases can be made of the same atoms, the only difference being that the particles are spaced differently! What I'm thinking is that we can walk on air with chakra!"
"Let's take a break and try it out then," Gaara suggested.
After a five minute break and a few solider pills, Naruto tried his new idea. Making a hand seal he channeled enough chakra in his feet to make them glow. He then step on air and managed to hold himself up for two seconds.
"Naruto," Kimimaro commented. "I think you have invented a new chakra control exercise."
They practiced the air walking exercise until they were nearly out of chakra; which didn't take long. Naruto then took out a scroll with, Project: Tree, written on it.
"Still working on inventing wood jutsus that can be used without the Wood Release bloodline?" Kimimaro remarked.
"Yep, from what I gathered, wood jutsus are a combination of earth and water," Naruto explained. "I still think it is possible to use wood jutsus with out a bloodline. After all, you can use ice jutsus without a bloodline; it is just harder to do without one."
"Good luck," Hinata commented.
"Thanks Hinata-Chan!" Naruto said, causing Hinata to turn red.
Meanwhile…
Kakashi returned to the house and met with Obito and Rin.
"Naruto has created a new chakra control exercise," he reported.
"What does it involve?" Rin asked.
"It works on the theory that liquids and gases can be made of the same atoms, only with the particles spread father apart. He has created a way to walk on air. He also has been trying to recreate the 1st Hokage's wood jutsus," Kakashi explained.
"You think they will be ready for conflict with ninja?" Obito asked, "Because I received this message from Arashi."
Kakashi took the piece of paper form Obito and read through it, his eyes widening at what it contained. "Kashi Kaguya has been sighted near the bridge!" he breathed.
"Yes he was also sighted leaving the hideout of Gato. We better be prepared to face him. He said he would be back to fight us, when we fought him in Water Country," Obito said gravely. "I don't think we need to worry about Gato now."
"We'll warn everyone tonight," Kakashi advised.
Authors Note: a little insight into how Kimimaro came to the Fox Village
Also I am planning to write a chapter explain Gaara's presence after this Arc is over.
I hope my explanation of the theories are sound…
