Hyuuga Naruto
I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 4: Academy Year 2
It was the third week of the second year of the ninja academy, and Naruto was loving every second of it. After he explained his situation to Hiashi two months prior, Hiashi upped Naruto's training even more to compensate for the loss of potential. Because of this, Naruto was far ahead of his peers in most aspects of being a ninja. However if you looked at his grades you wouldn't be able to tell. He was in the EXACT middle of the grades in his class. As I said before, Naruto didn't like attracting much attention to himself. So he kept a low profile and only really opened up around his friends.
Naruto's friends consisted of Hinata his cousin, a boy with a black ponytail named Shikamaru, and a boy named Choji who was always eating. Then of course their was Sasuke, but he was mostly just an annoyance.
This year of the academy was emphasizing survival techniques, physical fitness, and taijutsu, hand to hand combat. Like the year prior, students would be expected to gain further knowledge and experience beyond this level themselves. Since some children were already from clans with their own fighting styles, they were allowed to practice by themselves while others learned the basic style of Konoha genin. A good example of a student like this was Sasuke Uchiha. He was of the famed Uchiha clan, well known for their kekki-genkai (bloodline ability), the sharingan.
Sasuke was a very boastful person who always showed off the skills in combat he had. He was especially proud of the fire technique he had mastered a week before, at the age of 10! He would always come to class prepared to take part in a lesson and gain all the knowledge he could in order to impress his older brother. That is until disaster struck. Every one of the Uchiha clan was murdered in one night except for Sasuke himself. And on top of that, the one who killed all the members was found to be none other than Sasuke's older brother himself. After this, Sasuke grew colder and quiter to everyone in the class and kept his distance from the group. Growing stronger on his own.
One day, Naruto went home and was greeted at the door by Hiashi.
"Hello Naruto, I have something important to tell you today," Hiashi began. "Follow me to the training grounds." The two walked in silence through the house until they reached a large open area. The area itself had a dirt ground, no roof, and was about the size of half a football field. It had wooden posts at the far end for kunai practice, but was bare of much else.
"Today I will begin training you in something that is extremely advanced for someone the age of 9, so don't be disappointed if you don't get it right away. The first is testing your chakra nature. Send your chakra through this slip of paper and it will determine your chakra nature." Naruto did as so but both were shocked to see the outcome. Overall the paper became soggy and wet, however parts of the paper crystallized.
"Well this certainly wasn't anticipated," Hiashi said.
"Why? Is this bad?" Naruto asked worried.
"No it's actually fantastic." Hiashi began. "You posses two different chakra natures. One is the water nature, which is uncommon here in the Fire Country. I myself can help you master that. However, the other one comes from a very rare bloodline from an unknown clan. You will have to contact the hokage to find out more information on that."
Naruto took these words to heart and after a small bit of training about transferring chakra into elemental chakra for water, Naruto went straight to the Hokage's mansion to question Sarutobi about his mysterious knew kekki-genkai.
After explaining the situation to Sarutobi, the old leader gave out a long, pained sigh.
"I knew this would come up," He began. "I just had no idea it would be so soon."
"What would come up?" Naruto asked anxiously. He was excited about his new found ability, but nervous of the news it brought with it.
"Here, this should explain it better," Sarutobi made a seal and unlocked a secret compartment on his desk. From this department, he removed a small scroll with a seal on it. Then handed it to Naruto, who grasped it nervously.
"What... what does this scroll contain?" Naruto asked, slightly confused.
"It's a letter," Sarutobi said. "From your mother."
Suspense! So it turns out that Naruto's second bloodline is Guren's crystal ability! Stay tuned to find out what comes next. Thanks for reading and reviews are appreciated :)
