Chapter 11

The Bloodline Limit

It's not very often when you set off for something really important. My life has been nothing but sorrow and pain. Everything in life has a meaning. As for me, I am a shield for all humanity. I hold the Nine-Tailed Fox within my body. I am only nine years old and I have left my home to start a better life. On my way I met a girl. This girl was like no other. She was strong, smart, and caring, not like the rest of the girls in Konoha. Her name is Yasuko. After we both were put in prison, we both developed a friendship that would last for a lifetime. We endured many challenges together, and over time, we became best friends. We both always protected each other, even if it meant throwing our lives away in the process. There was one time that this guy named Deidara tried to blow up the village Iwagakure. Yasuko went to go collect the bombs because I had been hurt at the moment. She was almost blown up when she came back to tell me the good news. She survived the explosion by using a Substitution Jutsu. We ended up nearly killing Deidara that day. Then, we found out about an evil organization called the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki was an organization that captured the Tailed Beasts for world domination. After we got out of the village, we were in the northern part of the Land of Earth looking for a boat to sail them to the luxurious Crescent Moon Island. We had to make a canoe and paddle ourselves all the way to the island by ourselves. We had an encounter with the Three-Tailed Beast, Sanbi. We fought for hours until night, and, because of Yasuko's cleverness, we were able to get away. Once on the island, I became very sick. Yasuko made a remedy for my sickness. She searched the island for the herbs just for me. She was a true companion, especially after I found out something that we had in common. She was the vessel of a Tailed Beast, the Two-Tailed Cat to be exact. I found out she was a Tailed Beast vessel when we were in a fight with the Sanin, Orochimaru. He tried place a curse mark on me, but when Yasuko and I used the Tailed Beasts' chakra, we were able to defeat Orochimaru easily. Then, once we made it to a village on the island, Yasuko killed a guard. From then on, Yasuko was being hunted down. We met the Sanin named Tsunade on the island. She made a deal with us that if we helped her retrieve a rare herb in Takigakure, she would teach us Medical Jutsu. The next day, Tsunade and I got supplies and at midnight, we went to the pier to hijack a ship called the Sapphire Heart. I killed two guards because they recognized Yasuko as she was taking her hood off of her head. Then, more guards came and Tsunade scared them by performing a heel drop on the ground, crushing the ground between her feet. The kick created a crater that was able to stop the guards. Tsunade then destroyed the gate that separated the village from the pier. At once, we did everything possible to acquire the ship. Once we did, Yasuko demonstrated her amazing archery skills before we sailed away into the blue nothingness. Now, it has been eight days since we said away from the Crescent Moon Island and something is wrong with me. It's like a power is growing in me, trying to release itself. A secret of my family's past is about to reveal itself and it will change my life forever.

"Yasuko, where did you learn to shoot like that?" asked Tsunade.

"My uncle, Kidomaru, took care of me and Konan after my parents died in the fire in my house. He taught me how to use a bow. Konan never liked using weapons. She preferred making origami instead. I was sent to an orphanage with Konan after a couple of guys came and kidnapped my uncle," said Yasuko.

"Really? I'm so sorry about that," said Tsunade, turning the wheel of the ship toward the direction of their destination.

Naruto was looking out into the never ending blue waters. His eyes have been bothering him since the day they hijacked the Sapphire Heart. His blue eyes were turning paler and paler each minute.

"Naruto, are you ok?" asked Yasuko.

"It's nothing. My eyes are bothering me, but it's probably just because of the salt water," replied Naruto.

"You should have me look at that," said Tsunade. She waved at Yasuko to take the wheel. When Yasuko came up Tsunade walked over to where Naruto was. She lifted his head to look at his eyes. "Hm? What's this?"

"What's what?" asked Naruto.

"Your eyes, their white," said Tsunade.

"Is it good or bad?" asked Naruto.

"I can't tell yet…We'll see when we're in Takigakure," responded Tsunade.

The rest of the morning, Naruto stared into the ocean, thinking about the hijacking attempt.

"What's wrong kid?" asked Kyuubi.

'I can't help but thinking that something is about to happen…I can't tell whether it will be good or bad,' said Naruto.

"Is it something that has to do with you? I've noticed that your eyes have been bothering you. If you want, I could search your brain for an answer to all of this," said Kyuubi.

'If you want to…' said Naruto.

Kyuubi walked all the way to the back of his cage in Naruto's subconscious. He then released enormous amounts of chakra that took the form of miniature foxes that ran out of the cage. The foxes probed Naruto's mind for an hour, not able to find anything that might have led to the discoloration in Naruto's eyes. Then, Kyuubi realized something.

'I haven't checked the part of his brain that carried memories of his family,' thought Kyuubi.

Kyuubi sent all of the miniature foxes toward the area of Naruto's memories. Once there, the foxes saw an unbelievable sight. They saw Kushina Uzumaki giving birth. During the birth, something was wrong with Kushina's eyes.

"Got it," said Kyuubi.

'What's wrong with my eyes?' asked Naruto.

"It's a surprise," said Kyuubi.

'Whatever.' Naruto didn't care that Kyuubi was keeping a secret from him. Just as long as it wasn't anything bad, he didn't care. "Aaah, my eyes are burning!"

"Naruto!" exclaimed Yasuko. She let Tsunade take the wheel and rushed towards him.

Naruto was writhing in pain on the floor, covering his eyes. 'Kyuubi, I thought you told me it was something good!'

"Wait, you'll be alright," said Kyuubi.

Naruto was clutching the area around his eyes. "It burns!" Then, the pain stopped. It felt like there was nothing wrong with him in the first place. "It doesn't hurt anymore." Naruto lifted himself off the floor.

"Naruto, your eyes!" exclaimed Yasuko.

"What? Are they still white?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah, and they have rings around it!" replied Yasuko.

"Surprise!" said Kyuubi.

'Kyuubi, what did you do?!' asked Naruto angrily.

"Ask Tsunade," said Kyuubi.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with my eyes?" asked Naruto.

"What the-?!" exclaimed Tsunade.

"What's wrong with them?!" exclaimed Naruto.

"T-The Rinnegan!" she exclaimed.

"What?" he replied.

"The Rinnegan is the most powerful, revered and supreme of all the three main eye techniques. The Rinnegan is characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil of the user. In addition to allowing an individual to quickly master various jutsu, the user may also use all six forms of nature manipulation, which means you can use any elemental jutsu. Like the Sharingan and Byakugan do, the Rinnegan also allows the user to sense chakra, including an otherwise hidden barrier," explained Tsunade.

"My family has this Kekkei Genkai?" asked Naruto.

"I guess…" said Tsunade.

"Land!" shouted Yasuko.

Tsunade looked out towards the sea and saw a small strip of land. As they approached, the area got bigger and bigger until they could see it fully.

"We're here! This is where Takigakure is!" shouted Tsunade.
