Internet was down for at least a few weeks or so. One more thing I hate about my country: Internet sucks. Badly.

Update time-!

Note: On the previous update the face didn't show up. Apparently this place dislikes emoticons.

Basically do a colon, which is this : and an opening bracket. (

Get the drift?

The current Bloodline poll are as follows:

Bloodlines - 14
No Bloodlines - 3

So I guess the vote is unanimous for the bloodline idea.

- A 'Mutated' version of the Sharingan, which is apparently able to copy other bloodlines. (VI)
- Is able to stop other bloodline limits. (I) - Physical enhancing bloodline limit. (I)
- Able to talk to animals. (III)
- 'Any will do' (I)
- The ability to use techniques without hand seals (I)
- A mixture of all (I)

This is the last chapter 'til I reveal what the bloodline limit is.

Again, I react well to bribes and/or death threats, especially brownies. Maybe poisoned ones as well, if you want to kill me. But you wouldn't want to do that, would you? O.o Of course, if you do kill me I won't need to update, so that would be a bonus...

Disclaimer: RAWR! NARUTO NOT MINE! I GO LOCO FROM DISCLAIMERS!

Chapter 11

The next few days were unusually uneventful for Team seven.

Kakashi trained the three genin, stressing on the importance of teamwork. Which didn't actually seem to do much as they were already inseperable. After that revelation, he tried to teach them about chakra control through climbing trees. That plan didn't seem to go well either, as the three already mastered it. Eventually he gave up and spent his days reading his perverted novel.

Naruto secretly vowed to kick the Ero-sennin's ass when he met him.

Rin, meanwhile, agreed to teach Hinata about the art of medical jutsus, and also training her Jyuuken (1) through sparring. But on one condition that she was able to have her "Karin-chan" for at least an hour everyday. Kyuubi declined outright, but no one seemed to care. (A/N: poor guy... ;-;)

Sasuke rigorously trained to become more faster using weight tags as well as weighted clothing on top of it. He also occasionally sparred with Naruto, where the two tried to awaken his Sharingan.

Naruto continued to train as his tenant instructed him to do so. The training became even more hellish as punishment for the deal he struck with Rin.

During sunset the trio left to an isolated training area, where they began to learn from the Forbidden scroll, where the three agreed to divide the techniques depending on their affinity with the element. Sasuke was unanimously voted to use fire, with a few earth and Kage bunshin techniques as backup. Hinata, after much thought, decided on water. As she was going to use medical ninjutsu as well, she decided that it was enough on her plate already.

As for Naruto, he decided to go for techniques that involved a lot of chakra, so he had a lot more variety in the elements.

A week passed through this intense training. After it the familiar scene of Haku meeting Naruto occurred, and on the same day Kakashi was finally able to confront Naruto in secret.

-Flashback!-

"Naruto, you've been given enough distractions," said Kakashi, giving the blond a hard stare. "Are you going to tell me about the summoning or not?"

Naruto shrugged, "Meh. If you want my honest opinion, I'd be saying no. But, that wouldn't be the case at the moment, will it?" He smirked as he added, "But you need to the Sandaime Hokage's permission for me to tell."

"Sandaime-sama already did. So talk."

"Fine. Well, what do you want? I don't have all day."

"The fox summon is one I'd like to know. The last person I remember being able to summon it was-"

"Yeah yeah, the Yondaime Hokage. I know. Otherwise known as your sensei. Do you want the sugar-coated with extra frosting on top lie or the truth?" Naruto asked sweetly, batting his eyes in mock innocence.

"Truth would be nice. And I'm not asking, I'm demanding as your sensei."

"Alright. So you should be aware with the Kyuubi incident twelve years ago, right? And the fact that he's currently residing in my body, blah blah blah?"

A bit surprised at Naruto's insight, he nevertheless replied, "... Yes... And?"

"Has anyone asked themselves why Kyuubi attacked Konoha? Have you?"

"Well... Because... He's a demon? And demons like destroying things?"

"... You're supposed to be known as a genius, right? 'Cause I'm not really seeing it..."

"Alright, if you're such a genius, tell me."

"Simple. He was the boss summon of the foxes the Yondaime summons. One day, a certain pedophillic Snake freak decided to control him. He managed to somehow steal the summoning scroll and managed to summon Kyuubi. Angry that he couldn't control the fox, the idiot used a genjutsu and drove him beserk. The Fourth decided to use his only child as the vessel and sealed him. And here we are today."

"So you're my sensei's son. And you're supposed to be, what, twenty years old?" remarked Kakashi sarcastically.

"Precisely. Eight or nine years ago, I was dying by a Chidori attack. That you taught to Sasuke," Kakashi cringed at the comment. "Coupled with the fact that he was under the influence of a curse seal given by the snake bastard it was strong enough for him to kill me. Before I died Kyuubi was able to tell me the right hand seals for a time-travelling jutsu."

"And I suppose you're the one who set up traps to capture the Cloud shinobi as well?" Kakashi again said sarcastically. It was apparent that he didn't believe Naruto.

"Right again." With this as a cue Naruto explained everything to the Kakashi, excluding any major detail, such as the Third Hokage's death or the second Chuunin Exam.

"As for why I'm telling you all of this it's because I might need your help, sensei. If I need to do something to change the future for I might need your help. I hope that'll explain everything." Getting up, Naruto left the dumbfounded Kakashi.

"Oh, and by the way, give me a day off tomorrow from the bridge; say that I've knocked myself from training or something. You're due for a battle by none other than Momochi Zabuza himself most likely tomorrow. Make sure not to kill him, alright?"

-End flashback-

After the week, the bridge was nearing completion. Of course, in the case of life, also known as Murphy's Law, something had to happen in the mission that almost screws things up. Such as a huge-ass sword swinging towards the four Konoha ninja. Already knowing who the culprit was, Kakashi raised his forehead protector to reveal his Sharingan.

"Heh heh... So the great Copy ninja Kakashi already reveals his Sharingan. I feel honoured," said Zabuza, smirking. He raised his hands to form seals. "Kirigakure no jutsu!(2)" Instantly dense fog surrounded the group.

"Sasuke, Hinata, protect the bridge builder! Rin, let's go!"

Nodding, Rin closed her eyes, took out a kunai and concentrated for the missing-nin. Thanks to the two years Rin spent travelling with the two ex-mist nins, it wasn't much of a problem for her to find them.

"Meian-san, I thought you were killed by the Konoha nins? I suppose I'll just have to kill you myself. No hard feelings, eh?" Zabuza casually remarked as if he was talking about the weather.

"Actually..." Rin, detecting where her opponent was and immediately defended herself from a silent attack. "I do mind. Also, the name is Rin," with that, she plunged the kunai into her attacker's face. He stiffened, then melted into a puddle. "Damnit! A mizu bunshin!(3)"

Sasuke cursed. The mission was supposed to be simple: Escort a bridge-builder to where he wanted to go, defend from bandits or enemies less worse than that, go back, get paid, then he'd go on his merry way. Maybe hide from more rabid fangirls, train.. the usual.

Too bad life wasn't as simple as that. Instead here he was, fighting senbon needles off by an invisible foe using a kunai with Hinata as backup.

Sensing another barrage of senbon needles heading towards them, Sasuke decided to keep hidden his special attack... For now.

But where the hell was Naruto when they needed him?

Back to Naruto's side, the blond genin suppressed a sneeze. He was hiding in the bushes, waiting for his signal to appear. Now was not the time for someone to be gossiping about him when he was supposed to be sneaky!

"G.. Get away from my mom!" A small figure roared a battlecry and charged towards three other figures, two who were holding katanas.

"Stupid kid... He just wants to die, doesn't he?" said one.

"Yeah, stupid kid. Let's cut him into pieces!" said the other.

And there it was.

Just as the mercenaries were swinging their swords to kill, Naruto quickly replaced Inari with a log.

"Kawarimi?" (4)

"Inari, sorry I'm late. Then again, isn't the hero supposed to show up at the last minute?" Smirking, Naruto fingered two shuriken in his fingers. Then, with what people would call "Crappy aim" the shuriken missed their marks completely.

"You should practice your aim, kid! As if those things would work on us!" sneered one. His partner nodded.

"Yeah! Practice your aim!"

"And you! Stop echoing me! Kami-sama, you sound like an idiot!"

"What! Stop hurting my feelings! I'm holding back my tears thanks to you!"

As the two bickered, the shuriken suddenly transformed into two clones.

"What the-"

And with that, the two renegade samurai were no match for the clones' well-placed kicks to the face. (A/N: And I thought samurai were supposed to be strong? Honestly, like one kick and they're down for the count? Ha!)

Stunned at what happened, Inari managed to blurt out, "How'd you know the samurai-"

"Oh, them?" Naruto paused, trying to think of a good excuse. "Uh... Ninja instinct! Yeah, let's go with that, Ninja instinct!"

"... Oh... Kay..."

"But Inari, about the other night, I'm sorry I called you a sissy. You're strong as it is!" He grinned and patted the boy's head.

Inari tried to hold back his tears.

"Damnit.. I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore..."

"What are you talking about? It's fine to cry if you're happy!" With that, Naruto finished tying the last knot to his masterpiece: the two samurai were trussed up like turkeys with multiple small notes attatched to them, where under closer inspection were the words "Look at us! We're idiots!" and "Naruto-sama is the 0WNZ0rZ 0F J00!" (5) as well as other insults.

"Well, since you guys were attacked here, I'm guessing the bridge is being attacked as well. Inari, I can count on you here right?" The boy nodded and grinned.

"Right!"

Regaining conciousness, the two renegade samurai groggily opened their eyes to see themselves tied up and almost in a position to kiss. The self-proclaimed 'leader' of the two immediately struggled away from the other and turned away as much as the ropes would allow. With that, he decided to chat with his 'friend'.

"Oh jeez, oh fuck. Thanks to you, we're going to die. Goddamn it, Reeroy!(6) You're such an idiot! "Let's just charge in without a plan. I mean, that woman's going to be unprotected, right?" Kami-sama, you're as stupid as hell!"

His partner sniffed.

"It's not not my fault."

Zabuza smirked at what was taking place. He turned his gaze to his two opponents and chatted.

"Oh? It seems that Haku was beaten in speed. Can't have that, can we?"

"No, we can't, Zabuza-sama," replied Haku with a monotone. To be honest, he never wanted to kill people. However, if his mentor wanted people to die...

In an instant Haku and Sasuke were clashing senbon and kunai together. With this Haku smirked through his mask.

"I don't want to have to kill you... But you're not going to stand down, are you?"

"I guess not. I've got friends to protect, and they'll be pissed if I run like a coward."

For a moment Haku slightly hesitated. But only for a moment. He backed off abruptly, keeping a small distance.

"So... your precious people are important that you will risk your own life? Quite admirable. But this time, I won't be holding back."

He formed his hands into rapid handseals.

"Ninpou: Makyou Hyoushou!" (7)

Ice mirrors surrounded the two to form a large dome. His technique complete, Haku walked into to a mirror, forming many copies of himself.

"Well, shall I begin? This time, I'll show you my real speed."

The next thing Sasuke knew were needles striking everywhere. With his kunai Sasuke managed to block most of them.

"Impressive... But this time, I'll be prepared," said Sasuke. Sensing someone familiar nearby, Sasuke smirked at his opponent.

"... And this time I've brought backup."

With a wisp of smoke, a blond appeared. His blue eyes seemed to twinkle as he took out a kunai.

"You're late... Naruto."

"Sorry. A black cat crossed my path, and..."

"You and I both know that's total bullshit. Kakashi-sensei used that excuse two days ago, remember?"

"I thought it was about the one involving him teaching an old lady how to swim."

"Nah, that was the one he made a week ago."

Sweatdropping at their casual conversation of their teacher's excuses, Haku called out to them, "Uh... you two? We've got a fight to do, remember?"

The two stopped, then awkwardly shuffled their feet.

"Oh yeah.. That's right. We'll finish this conversation later, Naruto. But first, we'll need to take care of our friend here." With that Sasuke's eyes turned red. "Sharingan!"

"Showoff. Always with the dramatic effect, as expected from Uchiha-san, the drama queen."

"Spare me. You're the dramatic one."

Naruto grinned. "Fine, I guess I'll show off my kekkei genkai (8) as well."

Kakashi nearly lost his balance. His sensei had a bloodline limit? Then again, he wasn't aware that his teacher had a son either until yesterday. How come he never knew about this? Wasn't he supposed to be the prized student of the Yondaime?

... And chapter 11 has finally been completed!

Notes:

(1) Jyuuken - Gentle fist. The Hyuuga clan's trademark taijutsu.

(2) Kirigakure no jutsu - Hiding mist technique. This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a dense mist, causing anyone within it to lose the advantage of sight.

(3) Mizu Bunshin no jutsu - Water clone technique.Creates one or more identical copies of the user out of water. More similar to Kage Bunshin no jutsu than to a normal Bunshin no jutsu, these clones are capable of attacking, except for the fact that each clone's power is only one-tenth of the user. Also, the clones can only be controlled within a certain radius of the user. That is the technique's weakness.

(4) Kawarimi no jutsu - Body replacement technique. This is a technique that usually confuses the attacker. The user quickly projects themselves with another nearby object such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.

(5) l337 5P34k. Mindless randomness. I found it funny. :P

(6) Reeroy - This is, of course a reference to Leeroy Jenkins. No offense intended to those offended by my badly done engrish. I just wanted to put the name mainly for more mindless fun. I LIKE RANDOMNESS.

(7) Makyou Hyoushou - Demonic mirror ice crystals. Haku's bloodline limit, this jutsu uses nearby water to become ice mirrors that completely surround the opponent. These mirrors can't be easily broken or melted because they can be harder than steel. The user can travel instantaneously between these mirrors and attack while in transit, making it nearly impossible to fend off the user's attacks or attack the user. Once inside one of these mirrors, the rest of the world appears to be in slow motion, making it very capable for the user to have an easier advantage over their opponent.

(8) Kekkei Genkai - Bloodline limit. Need I say more?

What could be this mysterious bloodline limit that Naruto is revealing? Find out in the next chapter!

... Of course, this'll mean that I'll have to write that chapter.

... Crap.
