Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto.
Thanks to all of my reviewers and the people who read my stories.
Thank you YoukoTaichou for the jutsu list
Naruto and the others were quietly eating their dinner which was vegetable soup, much to Naruto's displeasure.
"I hate vegetables" Naruto whined
"Naruto, we've been through this argument before, just eat the damn vegetables" Haku said as he ate his soup.
"Can I have more, please" Yukimaru asked as he held up his empty bowl
"Sure" Hinata said as she refilled the bowl
"Thank you" Yukimaru said before digging into the bowl of vegetable soup
"So, where are we going to go now" Gaara asked as he continued to eat his soup
"To the next village or town, I guess, Yukimaru, do you know where the next village or town is" Naruto asked
"It's a town, it's a couple miles east from here" Yukimaru said
"Yukimaru, Ranmaru, you two should get some sleep now, we'll keep watch" Naruto said
"Okay" the two said and started getting ready to go to bed
Once the two went to bed, Naruto finally broke the silence
"You know, you're going to have to tell him, Guren" Naruto said
"I know" Guren said
"So, when do you plan on telling Yukimaru" Gaara asked
"I don't know" Guren said as she took a glance at the sleeping Yukimaru
"I don't think telling Yukimaru the truth right now, is exactly the best time, he's still trying to get over his mother's death after all" Hinata said
"Yes, but the longer you keep the truth away from him, the harder it is to tell him" Gaara said
"Gaara's right, if you don't tell Yukimaru soon, you might not be able to tell him at all" Haku said
"But if we tell him now, yukimaru might lose whatever sense of reason he has left and go crazy" Naruto said
"Yeah, but if we don't tell him, he might get angry at us because we didn't tell him sooner" Haku said
"But if we tell him now, he might not be able to handle the truth" Fu said
"The only one who can decide when to tell him the truth is Guren" Naruto said
"Huh?" Guren said
"You are the person who killed his mother, so it should be you who has to tell him and when to tell him" Naruto said
"I know" Guren replied
"So, when are you going to tell him, now or later" Gaara asked
"It's your choice Guren" Naruto said
"I'll… tell him… later" Guren said
"Very well" Naruto said
"Come on we should get some sleep" Naruto said
"Wait" Guren said making everybody look at her
"When you guys were chasing me what did you do to make that ice form around my legs" Guren asked
"Haku would you like to explain" Naruto said
"It was my bloodline limit that made me able to make that ice to form around your legs" Haku answered
"Y-You have a bloodline limit" Guren said
"Surprised" Haku said
"I guess I'm not the only girl who has a bloodline limit" Guren said, once she said that everybody but Haku laughed
"It's not that funny" Haku complained
"Was it something I said" Guren asked
"I'm sorry, it's just, Haku's a guy" Naruto said before laughing his head off
"REALLY!" Guren yelled
"I could prove it, but it isn't going to be pretty" Haku said
"You just look so much like a girl" Guren said
"I know" Haku said
"So is there anything else I need to know" Guren asked
"Um, Kimimaro, Ranmaru, and Hinata also have bloodlines" Haku said
"H-How" Guren said
"Well Gaara, Fu, and I have monsters sealed inside of us" Naruto said
"That's about it" Gaara said
"I don't think I can handle this much information in a day" Guren muttered
"Come on, let's go get some rest" Haku said
"Ok" They said and started getting ready to go to sleep. Naruto was about to fall asleep when he noticed that Gaara wasn't sleeping.
"Hey Gaara, aren't you going to go to sleep" Naruto asked as he walked over to Gaara
"I'm okay, just go back to sleep Naruto" Gaara said
"Come on, just tell me why you aren't sleeping" Naruto said
"I can't sleep" Gaara said
"Why" Naruto asked
"It's because if I do, the monster inside of me will take over and kill you guys" Gaara said
"Really, that doesn't happen to me" Naruto said as he put his hand over his seal
"My seal is weaker then yours and Fu's, that's why I can't sleep" Gaara explained
"So you've never slept, at all" Naruto said
"Nope" He replied
"How about this, when we start reading those scrolls, I'm going to go see if there are any scrolls that have seals that are strong enough to keep that monster in your gut stay there" Naruto said while giving Gaara his foxy smile
"But what if there isn't" Gaara said
"Then I'll start studying sealing jutsus and make a seal that would be able to" Naruto said
"You would do that for me" gaara asked
"Of course, what kind of brother would I be if I just sleep while knowing that you can't" Naruto replied
"Thank you" Gaara responded while smiling
"We're family, we'll always be there for each other" Naruto said then yawned
"You should get some sleep" Gaara said
"I'll see you in the morning then" Naruto said and then walked back to where he was sleeping and then started to sleep.
No matter what I will protect them, Gaara thought as he looked at everyone, They are the people who I hold precious I won't let anything happen to them
The next morning
"Hey, how are we supposed to wake up Naruto" Guren asked as she nudged Naruto with her foot
"Kimimaro, you know what to do" Haku said Kimimaro nodded a yes in reply
"What's he going to do" Guren asked
"Just watch, and please don't scream" Haku said
"What do you mean by 'don't scream'" Guren asked then she saw Kimimaro make a skull by using his bloodline limit.
At least she isn't screaming, Haku thought as he looked at Guren's shocked face
Kimimaro then walked over to Naruto and tried to shake him awake. Naruto then cracked open an eye to see the skull in front of his face.
"SKULL!" Naruto yelled as he looked at the skull then he calmed down and then he looked at Kimimaro
"You know you didn't have to do that" Naruto replied
"It's the only way to wake you up" Kimimaro replied
"Come on, let's just eat breakfast, I'm starving" Fu complained
"I agree, I'm famished" Haku said
"Okay, let's eat" Naruto said then they all started to eat their breakfast which consisted of eggs and bacon.
"What was that Kimimaro just did" Yukimaru asked as he ate his breakfast
"Huh, oh yeah, we never told you about our bloodline limits" Haku said
"What our bloodline limits?" Yukimaru asked
"It's an ability that is passed down thru a family. The person has to be related to the family to inherit a bloodline limit to get it. There are various types of bloodlines." Haku explained
"Oh" Yukimaru said
"So what are we going to do today" Gaara asked
"We're going to go to the next village or town" Naruto said
"Anything else" Haku asked
"Then we're going to read the scrolls and books we have" Naruto said as he finished his breakfast
"Huh" Guren said completely clueless
"We'll tell you later" Haku said
"Yukimaru, you said the closest place to us is a town and it's in the east direction, right" Kimimaro asked, Yukimaru nodded a yes
"Let's get going then" Naruto said as he gathered his stuff and put it into his backpack. The others then finished their breakfast and started packing up their stuff
"Hey Ranmaru I'll be carrying you today, okay" Naruto said
"Okay" Ranmaru replied
"So why can't Ranmaru walk by himself" Guren asked
"He isn't able to" Fu answered
"What do you mean by that" Yukimaru asked
"Ranmaru was born with a weak body, his arms and legs aren't strong enough to make him move" Haku explained
"Oh" Yukimaru said
"Um, guys, where's east" Naruto asked making everyone's face fault
"It's that way" Gaara said while pointing in the east direction
"Oh, I knew that" Naruto said
"Right" everyone else sarcastically replied
"Come on let's go" Naruto yelled and started walking with everyone following him
Later that morning
The young group of children finally reached the town.
"So what do we do first" Guren asked
"First, we'll go get a hotel room we can stay in and then we'll study the scrolls and books we have" Naruto said
"Okay, but how are we going to get a hotel room, we're only kids" Guren said
"Don't worry, we got that covered" Naruto said while smiling
What's he up to, Guren thought as they found a hotel, Naruto then led them into the alley
"What are we doing here" Fu asked
"It's because I don't want anyone see me use this" Naruto said as he put his hands together to make the hands signs Dog → Boar → Ram.
"Transform" Naruto said then there was a puff of smoke and in the place of Naruto was an older version of Naruto without whisker marks and was wearing black pants and a dark blue shirt and dark brown shoes. (he basically looks like Minato, but in civilian clothing)
"How, how did you do that" Guren asked
"Well a good friend of mine taught it to us" Naruto said
"Us?" Fu said
"Gaara, Kimimaro, Haku, Hinata, and Ranmaru can do it too" Naruto explained
"Wait, I thought Ranmaru couldn't do walk" Guren said
"Just because Ranmaru can't walk doesn't mean he can't use chakra" Naruto said
"He's got you there" Fu said
"So how can he use the transformation jutsu" Guren asked
"Well, the person who taught us the transformation said that Ranmaru could learn jutsu, it's just going to be a lot harder for him, but as long Ranmaru could use and manipulate his chakra he can learn jutsu" Naruto explained
"Oh" Fu and Guren said
"Come on let's go and get a hotel room" Naruto said and the others followed him into the hotel
"Welcome how may I help you" a young woman said, the woman's hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing the standard hotel uniform
"I would like to have a room, if any are available" Naruto said
"Well we have one free room, would you like that" The woman asked
"Yes, please" Naruto said
"Here you go enjoy" the woman said as she gave Naruto the keys.
"Thank you very much" Naruto replied and then he led them to their hotel room, once they were inside their hotel room Naruto released the jutsu. The hotel room had cream colored walls and there were two beds side by side to each other and a restroom.
"Who knew Naruto could be such a gentleman" Guren said
"HEY I CAN BE A GENTLEMAN WHEN I WANT TO!" Naruto yelled but was then bonked on the head by Haku
"What was that for" Naruto asked as he nursed his head
"Be quiet we're trying to keep a low profile here" Haku said
"Haku's right" Kimimaro said
"Come on let's just look at the scrolls and books" hinata said as she started taking the sealing scrolls out of her backpack
"What do you mean books, I only see scrolls" Guren said, then Hinata bit her thumb until it bled and wiped it onto the seal making a huge stack of books appear
"I'll unseal the others, you go look thru these while I do" Hinata said as she started unsealing the others
"Ok" they said and started looking thru the books and scrolls that Hinata was unsealing
"Hey Naruto look at this" Haku said as he held up a scroll
"What is it" Naruto asked as he looked at the scroll
"I think this jutsu might come in handy for you" Haku said as he gave Naruto the scroll.
Naruto opened the scroll and started reading
Shadow clone jutsu:
This jutsu allows the user to creates clones of him or herself, however unlike the clone jutsu, these clones are not illusions. They are copies of the user. The clones can perfom other jutsu as well as bleed on their own. They will disperse after one or two hits.
The shadow clone jutsu allows the user to gain the memories of the clones that dispersed. This jutsu is ideal for spying since the clone can disperse itself and the information it has gathered goes back to the user. Unfortunately, there is a drawback when using this jutsu, when creating the clones the user has to evenly distribute his or her chakra among the clones, making the user use up the majority of their chakra quickly.
Naruto finished reading the scroll with a look of interest on his face.
"This is interesting haku, but why did you give me this" Naruto asked as he rolled up the scroll
"I think I know why you can't make a descent clone, Naruto" Haku said
"Huh, you do" Naruto replied
"I think it's because the clone jutsu doesn't barely use a lot of chakra, since you have large chakra reserves you aren't able to make a clone because it uses so little chakra that you can't make a descent one and the clone you make looks like it's dying from some terminal disease" Haku said
"That makes sense, but you didn't have to include about how bad my clones are" Naruto said
"How bad can your clones look" Guren asked
"Do you really want to see" Naruto said
"Sure" Guren said
"Clone jutsu" Naruto said and then there was a puff of smoke and there on the ground was a really, really, really, bad clone.
"It really does look like it's dying from some terminal disease" Fu said as she looked at the clone
"Hey Haku, why did you give me the scroll again" Naruto asked
"I think that you'll be able to master that jutsu and make shadow clones easier then you did with regular clones" Haku said
"But in the scroll it said that it takes up a lot of chakra" Naruto said
"Yeah, but they were referring to regular ninjas, you aren't a regular ninja, you have a huge amount of chakra and I think you could master that jutsu without a problem" Haku said
"Wow, you sure have a lot of faith in me" Naruto said
"That's because I know that one day you're going to become a powerful person who will protect us, right" Haku said
"Believe it" Naruto said
"So are you going to try out the jutsu" Gaara asked
"You got it" Naruto said and started reading the scroll again
Got what? Gaara thought as Naruto finished reading the scroll and made the handsign
"Shadow clone jutsu" Naruto said then there was a puff of smoke and there were twenty Narutos in the room
"Okay, this is too many Narutos" Guren said then she punched one of the Narutos making it disperse
"This is pretty impressive thou" Kimimaro said as he looked at the Narutos
"Wow" yukimaru said
"Naruto dispel the clones it's starting to get crowded in here" Fu said before she socked a clone in the face making it dispel
That would have hurt if that was me, Naruto thought as he received the clones memories
"I want 13 of you to dispel yourselves" Naruto said
"Ok" they said and then started to dispel themselves until there were only 5 left
"Naruto why didn't you dispel all of them" Ranmaru asked
"It's because I'm going to have them read the books and scrolls and then make them dispel themselves later" Naruto said
"Why would you want to do that" Fu asked
"Oh, I get it, once the clones dispel themselves the memories the clones have will be transferred to Naruto." Ranmaru said
"That's right, little bro" Naruto said as he patted Ranmaru on his head
"That's no fair that means Naruto can just let his clones read and he doesn't have to do anything" Guren complained
"I'm not going to do that, I'm going to read this as well" Naruto said as he picked up a scroll and started reading it his clones doing the same thing
"Do you think any of us could use the shadow clone jutsu" Guren asked
"Well, fu and Gaara should be able to since they have a tailed beast sealed inside of them like Naruto giving them a lot of chakra" Haku said
"I'm going to read some of the scrolls" Gaara said as he started reading some earth style jutsus
"Anyway, do you guys know what your chakra nature is" Haku asked Guren and Fu
"Nope" they answered. Haku then gave them each a piece of paper
"Channel some of your chakra into the paper and we should be able to tell what kind of chakra nature you have" Haku said and then the two started channeling chakra into the paper. Guren's paper turned to dust, while Fu's paper split in half then got wet.
"It seems that Guren has an earth element chakra and Fu has a wind and water element chakra" Haku said
"Hey this scroll has some weird jutsus" one of the Naruto clones said as he was holding up a scroll
"What's it about" they asked
"The jutsu has something to do with crystals" the clone said and then tossed it to one of them to catch. Guren caught the scroll and started reading it
"Guren why are your reading that" Yukimaru asked
"It's because these are jutsus I use with my bloodline limit" she said while looking over the scrolls jutsus
"Just what is your bloodline limit, you never told us" Hinata asked
"My bloodline limit allows me to make crystals" Guren said and then demonstrated by creating a crystal in her hand
"Wow" Yukimaru said as he looked at the crystal
"That's a pretty impressive bloodline limit" Naruto said as he observed the crystal
"Your bloodline limit is a whole lot different from ours" Haku said
"What is your bloodline limits anyways" Guren asked
"I can make ice using my bloodline limit, Kimimaro can make bones, Hinata and Ranmaru both have doujutsus" Haku explained
"Really" Guren said
"Come on, we should get back to reading those books and scrolls" Naruto said
"Ok" they said and they all started to go back to reading the scrolls and books
Later
Yukimaru and Ranmaru yawned as they stared at the book in front of them
"Yukimaru, Ranmaru, why don't you go to sleep, it's getting pretty late" Naruto said
"Okay" the two tiredly said as they put away the book and started climbing onto one of the beds and started sleeping
"We should turn in for the night as well" Naruto said as he put away the scroll he was reading
"Okay" they said as they put away the books and scrolls. Naruto then resealed them back into the scrolls
"The girls are going to take that bed on the right, we're going to take the bed Yukimaru and Ranmaru are sleeping on" naruto said
"Ok" they said and then they started getting ready to go to sleep
"Um, Naruto" Gaara asked as Naruto was about to go to bed
"Yeah, Gaara" Naruto replied
"Did you find any sealing jutsus that could you know" gaara said
"There weren't any sealing jutsus that were strong enough to hold back the Shukaku" Naruto said catching Gaara's face stricken with disappointment
"So, I'm going to create one. It's going to take a while will you be able to wait a little while longer" Naruto asked
"Of course" Gaara said while smiling
"Great, I'll see you in the morning" Naruto said before going to sleep on the bed, while Gaara looked out the window to see the moon in a crescent stage.
