(I do not own naruto or any other franchises hinted to in this fanfiction.)

Night of the kyuubi attack, Konoha general hospital, 00:05am.

Hiruzen sarutobi. A man respected throughout the elemental nations as the professor, the god of shinobi and one of the only few kage to claim the position twice over… even if the last statement had been true for only a few hours, prior the death of his successor. With the blond haired genius in mind, hiruzen's thoughts turned to the source for his village's current riots and chaos, the boy currently resting within a fibreglass cell before his eyes. Next to him, a man in medical scrubs and square frame wire-glasses looked over the clipboard, both staring at the newly applies glowing seal on the blond's naval. "…repeat your findings again doctor. And do not hold anything back, this is a matter of village security… I need to know everything you do". The medical expert nodded, sighing as he adjusted his eyewear before handing his clipboard to the kage.

"the fourth's notes on this…seal, explain how the kyuubi's chakra was supposed to be fed as a constant to young naruto over the course of his child and teenage life, after lord minato separated and stole the yin half of the fox's overall chakra. It seems however, his soul was not payment enough for this act, and with both halves already in place, the death god did…something else. I can't explain what, but naruto seems to exude so much chakra through his very skin, that his chakra coils… just aren't there anymore. Its more like he himself, is one large core for a mixture of his human physical chakra, and the fox's spiritual chakra which replaces the source taken by the Shinigami as compensation.". the old man next to him just nodded, sighing before giving the clipboard back. "…I still don't fully understand sir… why is this so important? We simply need to seal the chakra away and it'll be like the boy never had it".

His answer came in the form of a wave, solid chakra hitting the fibreglass, a repeated action that seemed to occur as a normality of the boy's physicality. "…because doctor, if we did… it'd be like filling a balloon up with water till it bursts. The kyuubi and Uzumaki bloodline are both constantly increasing in their regeneration of chakra, a human body is not meant to contain this, hence why his coils burst open. Naruto, in the simplest terms, has a field of affect around him constantly which is saturated in his chakra… if we trained him in this, he could become a weapon greater than any shinobi for this village, and it might just give him enough control for him to live as a normal person.". the doctor just nodded, leaving the room to get a request to have a chamber made to transport the boy, missing what hiruzen was witness to… a small butterfly in the same room, bursting into flames as it entered the boy's field of chakra. "naruto… just what is the limit of this newfound power".

(3 years later)

Deep inside the village of konohagakure, there lie that which can simply, and only be referred to as a maze of bunkers, armouries and dangerous secret labs to discover and create new ethical weapons for the village they reside in. these, are the special assassination and tactical squad headquarters, ANBU for the layman's terms. Those who entered these stone walls, are said to only emerge when they have drawn their own weight in blood… or spilt it from their own bodies in attempts to better themselves. For one lab, deep in the centre of this compound, these comments could not be less true… for no blood is drawn, nor spilt within these marble walls. The lone inhabitant, a child no older than 3, sat amongst notebooks filled with circular sketches of runic letters and symbols, a pencil joining its sibling stumps as the granite tip wore away. This was the scene that hiruzen sarutobi came across during his monthly visit of the child, the same grandfatherly smile on his face.

"hello naruto… I see you have been working hard on your project. I suppose I will need to have another shipment of paper and pencils brought down this time?". The boy shook his head, drawing a surprised raise of an eyebrow from the elder man. Before he could ask the question on his mind, the boy's blond locks flicked back with the raise of his head, analytic eyes hidden behind strands of the golden threads. "jiji. Were you aware that chakra, in its purest essence, can be compared to a computer code? The origin binary of 1's and 0's being similar to the spiritual and physical aspects, meaning with the correct mind for coding the programme, chakra is but a base template which can be overlaid time and time again, such as handsigns being 'quick keys' for different codes?". the third hokage just stood in shocked, and partly confused silence, looking at the boy with a heavily raised eyebrow.

"um… could you explain that differently naruto-kun? I'm afraid I didn't catch that". The blond just sighed and nodded, standing from his position before walking over to a small bookshelf in the white room. Hiruzen took this time to once again admire the décor of the room naruto resided in, clean yet not empty with dozens of books, a computer and tv, even a small training dummy to practice his hand-to-hand on. As the blond brought over a book, he opened it to show different handsigns. "lets take perhaps the shadowclone. It takes half the origin code of the normal illusionary clone and adds in a second code from the horizontal part of the sign. The code is then mutated, changed, re-written and produces a linked yet similar effect… it changed the 0's… into 1's". once again, hirzuen just looked in shock at the contents of the book beneath him. It was a simple academy level book to teach the handsigns and which elemental link they had, yet naruto had seemed to have written the 'coding' for each handsign as he saw them underneath.

"this… this is amazing naruto. but how do you know if this works, it could just be blank links you're drawing from nowhere". The blond nodded, smiling as he placed the book back. "I thought you'd say that… so I've been working on something. Could you pick up that wristband by my computer jiji? I spent the last 5 days coding and decoding it constantly… you might want to tell RnD that I've been stealing from their resources again…". The hokage just shook his head, looking to the blond in disapproval before stepping into the room fully. He shivered as the containment seals, placed up to prevent naruto from leaving, even if they never worked, washed over him. As he went to pick up the device, he was almost blown back by the strong aroma of coffee and sugar, the previously unseen count of mugs and cups nearly larger than the desk itself. The wristband, or rather wristbands that he saw were completely black in colour, circuitboards and wires shown under the maintenance panels.

"he really picked up on those coding classes quick… sometimes I fear the kyuubi really is effecting his mind". turning with devices in hand, he was caught off guard to feel them leave his hands and watch them become attached to the limbs of the boy in question. "watch jiji..". and watch he did, as chakra was sent towards the devices on his wrists, causing keypads made from raw shape manipulation to appear next to him, on the wristbands and even by his uncovered toes, thousands upon thousands of different letters and symbols flying past his eyes. "levitate". His fingers and toes began to blur as they typed away at the 'codes', a tri-layered diamond shape of chakra appearing under him before he began to lift off the ground, seemingly just… raising without wind or gravity. "H-HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!?". Naruto looked at his jiji in confusion, his eyes glowing with chakra. "you can't see them jiji? The numbers, the letters, the coding of chakra? I thought if I showed you, you'd be able to…". The boy fell silent at that, letting the flight fall. "…I apologise jiji. I shall stop immediately…".

"n-no naruto. this is an amazing skill, and the way you see the world could be described as an artificial doujutsu. The possibilities behind this are too great for you to give it up… I'll arrange for the research and development branch to allow you access to the best materials we have, under the condition you train in this… coding style to the best of your ability". Naruto just nodded, a bright grin on his face for the first time since the meeting between them had begun, happily reminding hiruzen that naruto was still a child after all. As the elder male began to leave, the grin would fall however, naruto raising up his keyboards again before frowning. "…too many, I need to find a way to do this all at once… i need to become responsive enough to perform thousands of complex calculations in under a few seconds… guess it's another all nighter for me".

one year later, training research room ALPHA 5

"…are you REALLY sure about this sensei? I understand you believe this boy to be a genius to rival his father but… this is surely too much. Kakashi is an anbu captain, naruto stands no chance even in a friendly spar". The old man simply looked to his trusted friend and ally, the toad sage himself with a knowing smile, looking back to the glass inches away from them both. Before them, stood naruto and Kakashi in an anbu training cell, both lazily looking into each other's eyes…or eye, the jounin dressed in his anbu outfit and naruto… dressed in a sharp looking black tie suit, the four year old already having chosen a style for himself, hiruzen moving forward to speak into the mic. "this is just a mock battle, to test naruto's skills. I want you to send a jutsu of your choice at him Kakashi, and naruto will respond in the manner he feels is best. Begin!".

Kakashi just nodded before holding his hand out to the side, his signature chidori rising to the surface. Hiruzen rose a hand to silence his student's protests, his eyes trained on naruto at all times. "…wait… and watch". And that they did, as Kakashi shot off at mid gennin speed. It was obviously an intimidation tactic, the scarecrow not believing the boy to be taking shinobi life seriously… how he was wrong. "lighting code, shape manipulation fractured in multiple places, high intense vibration to sever molecular bonds, broken binary, unstable". With an action plan already set out in naruto's mind, the coding and breakdown of the jutsu already in his mind, the boy just put his hand on his own wrist… a familiar keyboard rising up. With fingers blurring so fast even hiruzen had trouble following them, the arm would lower before anyone could register the action, a single hand risen…to click.

The sound was instant, loud and almost deafening, a feedback loop of chakra being converted into soundwaves and blunt force nearly bursting kakashi's eardrums, snuffing his jutsu and sending him face first into the ground. "…feedback". As the last remnants of the viewing box's shattered glass fell to the ground, naruto would just smile and turn to his grandfather figure with a tilt of the head, chuckling. "was that ok jiji? I didn't disappoint you right?". Next to him, jariya just blinked away the shock of what he had seen, thousands of coding lines rushing past on a screen of pure chakra. All he could think of, was a familiar blond, changing the tide of battle with written script alone. "seals…? Or something else…".
