Before we begin, I don't own Naruto, let's go to the reviews:

MYK-ON
love the first intro but i think it's to short.
-I know, right.
A.N: If you think Arashi Takeshi is solely based on me, he's not, he's actually based on my best friend who's obsessed with Naruto but with a little mix of me, but instead the desire of getting in Dragon Ball or Monster Hunter, it's the desire to get in Naruto.
If you would say Sarutobi, Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, was angry, that would be an understatement. He had just thrown several villagers who was barely alive into jail and stripped a few shinobi of their ranks before sending them to the ANBU to be punished severely. His visit to the hospital an hour later had confirmed his fears as he had watched the doctors rushing to heal up the two heavily injured young boys.
He had then returned to his office, unable to do much else but to prepare for the much predictable meeting of the shinobi council that was to commence.
Someone knocked on his door. His secretary entered.
"Hokage-sama." His secretary said. "The council had ordered an emergency meeting."
"Damn those bloody Uchihas." Sarutobi groaned.
This was the worse part about being Hokage. The politics. Not many of the clan heads would bother meeting up to discuss some random violence. Rather, it's the rumors of what happened during the attack that would concern the council.
Sarutobi glanced around this rare council of major clan heads meeting as he sat down at his seat, which was at the head of the table.
"Why is this council meeting called?" Sarutobi asked, a rhetorical question as he already suspected the answer.
Fugaku Uchiha, the one who started this, cleared his throat. "It has come to the clan heads attention that a new kekkai genkai, a bloodline has emerged. All the clan heads are gathered here today for this issue."
Sarutobi's lips pressed together calmly. Apparently a new kekkai genkai was more important than the fact that two children were seriously injured by a mob this same day.
"Yes it is true. Takeshi Arashi, was diagnosed by the head medic at the hospital of having a bloodline that is closely tied to Raiton (Lightning Release)." Sarutobi said. There was no use hiding this fact, the results would be widely known by tomorrow, all bloodlines in Konoha had to be registered publicly.
An elemental bloodline then, troublesome." The head of the Nara Clan, Shikaku mused. "A boy with a troublesome name, where is the boy in question?"
He's still under treatment in the hospital for his injuries." Sarutobi said, showing his hatred a little bit for the mob.
"I've heard that a chuunin instigated an attack on the boy and Uzumaki Naruto. Has the chuunin in question been punished?" Shikaku Nara asked.
Sarutobi nodded to the man in question with a tense smile, they found the chuunin with a very, very weak pulse. Out of the gathered clans in Konoha, the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Inuzuka, and the Aburame were some of the few clans that do not actively bear hard feelings for Naruto. They had their casualties during the Kyuubi attack, but the Nara are a clan of thinkers and they knew better than to place blame on a boy innocent of any wrong doings since they knew the difference between a weapon and a scrol, like an Aburame to a bug. The said clans followed the Nara's example.
"He has been demoted to a gennin and sent to the ANBU for questioning."
"What are Takeshi Arashi's abilities in question?" Shibi Aburame, the head of the Aburame, asked.
"According to the blood tests, he possesses natural lightning speed and can sense the bio electricity of any living thing along with the high affinity to lightning as expected. He will heal faster than the average human for some reason and there might still be other unknown abilities we have not learned of." Sarutobi said. "The rumors I heard say his lightning affinity is so naturally high, it will manifest into a creature of pure lightning. Since his affinity is abnormally high at this age, plus the unusual jutsu from earlier, it's counted as a bloodline. "
There was silence as the clan heads stared at him in shock, then after a while, Fugaku broke the silence.
"On behalf of the Uchiha clan, I would like to take him in as a member of my clan."
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed. He knew it would come to this, but it was better than Danzo Shimura, his rival, getting the boy. The Uchiha had a thirst for power and would not settle for second best. Now that a new bloodline had emerged suddenly after a few years, it would be in each of the clans' interest to take in the child, and hopefully marry the child in within their clans.
"I object." The head of the Yamanaka clan said. "Seeing that the child's abilities is a lightning bloodline, it would be prudent to leave that child in the care of the Yamanaka clan where we could train him to use his powers to good use." The clan head thought he could train Takeshi into being an interrogator, but before he could say anymore, Fugaku intervened.
"The Uchiha would be able to provide for the boy better. We know thousands of jutsus, hundreds of raiton techniques he can learn…"
It was times like these that he really missed the Yondaime Hokage. Now he had to choose which clan would best suit the boy and the village. As each Ninja Clan except for the Inuzuka, Akimichi, and Hyuga, who's neutral, that made their bid for the boy they handed in the required paperwork. The fact that each of them already had the paperwork just showed the fact that they had all wanted to get the boy's potential.
The Hokage turned to look towards the Clan heads that were gathered around to hear what fate he had finally decided for the boy. "This boy brings much to our village including a new bloodline and a willingness to serve. He has also found a way to somewhat control Naruto, an impressive task for anyone. There is much to consider in the coming way though, for that, I agree that the boy is to be given the chance to become a Shinobi. It would be useful if he were to become one. Therefore he shall be given the chance like any other shinobi would. I Have here all of your applications and recommendations by some of the people that know each of you and your families and Clans. Each of you have much to teach and offer to the boy, but for the good of the village I must choose someone who can help the boy the most. I therefore, deny everybody's request for the Arashi boy.
"What!" A furious Fugaku shouted out. "But the Uchiha has ninja that can teach him to be the best. I can place him under the tutelage of me and Itachi and he can spar alongside Sasuke as they are at close age." He tried to get help from the other members. When no one rose to aid him in his defense he reluctantly returned to his seat.
"No one is doubting in the Uchihas ability to create exceptional ninja Fugaku." The Hokage returned to the man. "Some of our most powerful shinobi and kunoichi have come from your Clan. However, there is more to ninja than just being skilled your bloodline. Besides, there is no clan that has knowledge of Arashi-san's abilities.
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Fugaku said, reluctantly agreeing.
"That is all for the rest of you," the Hokage said, "unless you wish to see if there is some last minute development that you might be able to use to get yourself into a better position to claim the boy for your Clans." Several of the ninja nodded as they disappeared in swirls of leaves leaving the room empty except for the Hokage, who just walked back to his office.
Takeshi and Naruto were currently walking home having finally finished healing from their various wounds. It had taken him six days to heal and to stop having the various medic ninja stop testing his enhanced healing. While he didn't heal faster than Naruto it was the, the minimum time adults heal, not kids. While not as fast as Naruto, he did heal faster than most other people his age did. The best part about the hospital had been the constant meals that they had been allowed to eat. The weary boys stopped though as they saw that in front of the orphanage was the Hokage. Behind him was a few ANBU.
The Hokage started, breaking the silence. "It has come to my attention that the orphanage is more bad than good, I decided that you guys will get to live separately from the orphanage, free of charge until you turn gennin. I will be giving you each a monthly allowance, use the money wisely."
At this, Takeshi smirked, while Naruto grinned, both no longer having to live in that orphanage.
