Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Simple as that.

Chapter 1

Awakening of a New Bloodline

A young boy was currently on his bed under the throes of heat-induced agony as his entire body is racked with fever. His spiky blonde hair is matted with sweat as he tossed and turned as if suffering from a nightmare.

The young boy's name was Uzumaki Naruto.

Many would ask why such a kid is alone on his bed without anyone to care for him while he was sick. The answer is simple – Naruto is an orphan and is considered as the village pariah.

Naruto grew up in Konoha alone with only a few of its people showing him kindness and love. A major part of the population treat him like a pariah with the rest are just indifferent to his existence.

He grew up not knowing his parents and all he got from the leader of the village, which he affectionately calls 'jiji', that they both died the night of the Kyuubi attack, the night he was born into this world almost 8 years ago.

After he was tossed out of the orphanage at the age of 5, the Sandaime Hokage bequeathed him the use of a run-down apartment at the western edge of the village with a weekly allowance for food and supplies. He grew up alone since then with only the Sandaime visiting him from time to time during his free time.

Forced to grow up on his own, Naruto showed a maturity that shouldn't exist in an almost 8-year old boy. He should be playing around with the other kids of the village without a care in the world. But the animosity of the villagers was passed down to their children, thus young Naruto grew up shunned and alone – with only himself as company.

Unknown to Naruto, he was the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed demon fox, that attacked Konoha on the day he was born.

But despite everything that happened to him – the hateful glares, the harsh words, the ridicules, and the occasional beating on his birthdays – he still retained his child-like innocence that he happily shows to those that he love, dropping his mask of indifference and coldness that he usually wears in front of the rest of Konoha.

While the child was tossing and turning in his sleep, deep inside his mind, another presence woke up from its deep slumber by the sudden sickness that racked the body of his container.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune was confused. His millennia of experience did not prepare him for the sickness that suddenly gripped his vessel. No matter how much of his chakra he sends to his vessel's system to get rid or overpower the problem, it was continuously rebuffed as if an unknown force shielded his vessel's body from it, and no matter how hard he tried, which was exceptional in his case, nothing bore fruit.

Oh he was trying hard, oh yes he was. The Kyuubi felt fear for the first time in his entire existence for he knows when his vessel succumbs to death, so would he due to the Shinigami's god-forsaken seal that trapped him inside the boy.

Despite all the things he did to his vessels body after the sealing to ensure that he survives whatever ordeal he will face when he grows old enough to be on his own, this blasted fever was slowly killing his vessel and no amount of regeneration and increased chakra capacity can do anything about it.

So while his vessel suffered for hours under a very high fever, Kyuubi was doing his damn best to manipulate his energy towards his container just to get rid of the problem. Hours he worked but nothing seemed to work. Desperation forced the immortal being to work harder but all his efforts were futile.

In the end, Kyuubi sighed and pulled all his energy back into its body and waited for his death to come.

"What an idiotic way to die. Me, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the most powerful Bijuu, death due to fever. I don't know if I should feel humiliated or disturbed." Kyuubi grumbled. He sighed again and gazed back at the pipes running through the ceiling of the sewer-like cavern that he was imprisoned in, noting absently the brownish energy appearing and disappearing along the pipes. He shrugged it off as nothing.

He was about to go into a nap when the same energy pulsed again.

He raised an eyebrow at the phenomenon. His curiosity peaked.

He focused the limited senses he had on the body of his vessel and noticed that instead of the body deteriorating due to sickness, the unknown energy was slowly improving his host's body.

"Interesting. It seems that my vessel isn't dying after all but what is happening to him?" He mused as he stretched his senses again to check on his vessels current condition and was surprised at what he found. All his years alive in the world did not prepare him on what the energy was doing to his host's biology.

Chakra coils were being improved especially towards the major senses.

The unknown energy was saturating his vessel's cells with purposes unknown, guessing that it was actually improving everything it touched or even changing to purpose unknown.

"Interesting indeed. It seems that my time in this world is not yet at an end. We shall see where this development will lead. Surprise me my vessel on the time that we meet." Chuckled Kyuubi as he laid his head down on his paw for a nap, no longer afraid that death would claim him during his rest.

Naruto woke up from his feverish sleep without any concept of time. He can feel his weakened body protest as he tiredly swiveled his head to check on the clock beside his bed so he can determine how long he has been asleep. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the date.

Two days. He's been asleep for two days! How in the world did that happen? His incredulous state, however, was broken when his stomach grumbled telling him that he was hungry, very hungry judging from the racket it was making.

Despite his weakened condition, he painfully forced his body to get off his bed despite the creaking of locked joints and sleeping muscles. He lumbered over to the bathroom and relieved himself before taking a cold shower. He braced himself for the sudden rush of cold water since the apartment didn't have any heating system installed and would be too expensive for him to do so on his own. To his surprise, the water is surprisingly warm so he lavished in the feeling and took some time to get rid of the sweat and grime that he accumulated due to his 2-day coma.

He got out of the shower, muscles no longer sore and totally relaxed. He padded over to the sink to brush his teeth but when he saw his reflection in the mirror, he jaw dropped at the sight before him.

"What the heck happened to me!" he shouted in surprise, awe, and slight fear at the sight before him.

He was surprised that his short and malnourished state was replaced by an athlete, noticeably better for someone his age as if he was eating healthy and exercising his whole life.

He was considered as the runt of the Shinobi Academy being the shortest of his age group. But now, he was standing at least 5'1, very tall for his age group. He also noticed that his body is no longer displaying skin and bones. Sinewy muscles lined his body and is quite evident every time he flexed and stretched.

Replacing his gaunt-thin frame was a chiseled body that could easily make an athlete green with envy. He is now sporting a well-chiseled chest, ripped 6-pack abs; his biceps were well-defined even for someone his age. To be honest, he was happy despite the fact he could never figure out what happened to him.

He was ripped and he loved it.

Some might find it weird that his body suddenly changed overnight but for him it was a godsend.

He happily, yet tiredly toweled himself dry and went to his closet to get something to wear before heading over to Ichiraku Ramen for a hearty treat. After all, it was his birthday two days ago so treating himself to a hearty meal is normal.

He forgone his usual orange jumpsuit since it no longer fit his new frame. He opted instead for a black shirt and gray baggy pants that the Hokage gifted to him last year but he didn't wear it since he could never forgive himself for wearing any but orange.

Checking himself in the mirror and found everything to his liking, he grabbed his trustee frog wallet affectionately nicknamed 'gama-chan', placed it in one of his pants pocket for safekeeping and left the apartment.

Despite how tired he was, Naruto marveled at the improvement of his body. He no longer felt weak and lethargic that he used to feel due to his malnourished state. In fact, he felt that he could run around the village at maximum speed without tiring though he decided to avoid doing so since his stomach was demanding his attention in earnest.

As he walked through the street towards his favorite food-stop, he partially ignored the hateful stares directed at him by the villagers. However, he almost tripped when he heard them despite their distance.

"Look at him, walking down the street as if he owns the place, the demon brat."

Naruto looked around and saw no one near him. He was confused as to where the voice came from. However, his confusion increased even more when his ears were assaulted by various people talking despite the fact that they were too far away for him to hear.

"Damn the Hokage for enacting that law. If it wasn't for that then the demon brat should have been killed a long time ago."

"Shut up. There are ANBUs around. We don't want to get in trouble just because you said something you shouldn't."

Naruto swiveled his head to the direction of the noise and saw two of the merchants talking in hushed tones. He can clearly hear what they were saying despite the fact that they were far away from him. Deciding to test his theory, he followed the rest of the noise to see who was speaking.

"I wonder if I should get an apple for my sister" a girl in front of a fruits stand was saying while checking out the selection of fruits in front of her.

"Tenten, don't forget to deliver the shurikens to the address that I gave you." said an old man to a girl in front of her with two buns on her hair. "Sure dad, but make sure that you give me those kunais you promised after this delivery." Replied the girl before speeding off.

More sounds assaulted his ears as he focused his hearing. It was amazing. He can hear very far judging from the distance of the speakers. He knew that he didn't have this ability before and now, after his fever-induced sleep, he seemed to have developed a keen hearing like those in the dog clan.

He continued to walk towards Ichiraku while listening to the various sounds around him, but increased his step when he suddenly smelled the delicious aroma of ramen coming from his personal heaven on earth. He noticed that he could also smell better since Ichiraku Ramen was still three blocks away. He was intrigued and decided to test everything later; but for now, his ramen awaits.

Ichiraku Teuchi and his daughter Ayame was picking their jaws off the floor as they looked at Naruto devouring bowls after bowls of ramen as if it was the end of the world. He was currently at his 15th bowl and no signs of stopping. It was unbelievable. Their favorite customer usually stops at 10 or 15 bowls but now he exceeded his usual limit and didn't show signs of stopping anytime soon.

They were brought out of their shock when Naruto asked for another bowl, which they hurriedly complied to make sure that their number one customer stayed with them and not bring business anywhere else; though Naruto already told them before that nothing can ever beat their heavenly ramen concoctions and have no plans of changing his preference anytime soon.

After an hour, Naruto burped unabashedly and laid down his 23rd bowl of ramen down on the table and let out a hearty sigh. His previous tiredness seems to have disappeared after each bowl of ramen and now he was feeling an over-abundance of energy that would be perfect for his personal training later on.

He didn't even complain that his 'gama-chan' took quite a hit. He was just too hungry to think about his savings.

"That was great Teuchi-oji-san. Your ramen is the BEST." exclaimed Naruto after releasing another loud burp which caused both the ramen chef and his daughter to laugh.

"Of course! What do you expect? I am the BEST ramen chef in the world!" Teuchi declared with fires burning in his eyes.

"You got it old man! When I become Hokage, I will make ramen the national food of Konoha. Believe it!" said Naruto with the same fire and determination in his eyes.

Ayame just sighed as she watched his father and his surrogate brother declare their undying love towards ramen. She rolled her eyes at them and proceeded to clean up the mess.

After a few more minutes of declaring his love for ramen, Naruto bid everyone goodbye and left but not before Ayame gave him a brief hug and a kiss on the cheek which caused the poor boy to blush red like a tomato who sped out of the shop to avoid further embarrassment with Ayame's tinkling laugh following him all the way.

Damn his new found hearing.

Naruto reached his personal training group deep in the forest that surrounded Konoha. It wasn't as if Naruto wasn't allowed to use the Training Grounds the littered the village; he just wanted his training to be kept secret to avoid the ire of the Konoha public.

Unlike popular beliefs, Naruto wasn't stupid. In fact, he learned early that acting is one the best ways to avoid being beaten to a pulp or being ridiculed by his Academy teachers. So after his first year in the Academy, Naruto decided to hide his skills and intelligence under a mask of stupidity and boisterousness to pacify the public's belief. He even delved into the art of pranking just to add to the persona.

People no longer hated him for the Kyuubi, despite him not knowing about his burden, they hated him for his rather embarrassing pranks.

He was happy that it worked like a charm.

Upon arriving at his favorite training ground, he decided to think about what happened to his body. Aside from the obvious physical improvements, it seems that his senses were improved as well. He already knew about the boost he got on his hearing, smell, and taste, the latter of which further improved his ramen addiction that allowed him to break his previous record, which he also noticed as well since he doesn't usually eat that much compared to what his classmate Chouji usually eats during lunch time.

Deciding it best to test out his body through training, he started out with a few laps around the training ground to check his physical limit. He noticed that his speed has improved, as well as his stamina. When he reached his usual 5-lap limit at top speed without getting winded, he increased his pace and proceeded to just run until he got tired. He moved through the trees like a blur, avoiding upturned roots, occasional rabbits and squirrels, even jumping from one branch to another just for the fun of it – all at top speed which was ten times as fast as he used to have.

It took him a total of 3 hours before he got tired enough to stop, which was an amazing feat in itself. He dropped down on the grass and stared at the clouds while pondering the sudden improvement on his body.

He already tested out his speed and stamina so the only thing left is his strength. He spent a few more minutes to rest his tired muscles before standing up and moving to one of the bigger trees in the clearing. He relaxed himself with a few deep breath before going into the standard Academy Taijutsu stance and took a deep breath before releasing a powerful fist towards the trunk.

The results shocked him.

His fist met the trunk and pulverized the first few inches of it. At the strength he released, he didn't even feel any pain on his knuckles which was another shock to itself since his healing wasn't even that fast to begin with and he usually suffered some mild ache after releasing a strong punch on a tree or training dummy. He continued to punch the tree in earnest, increasing his strength until he reached his limit.

After 30 minutes of punching, the tree he was practicing on finally gave way and fell, releasing a loud crash the echoed throughout the clearing.

Naruto was shocked at the power of his punches. He looked at his knuckles comically then at the tree, then back at his knuckles.

He grinned.

He need to tell Hokage-jiji about this. He ran back to the village at top speed, leaving a trail of dust and dry leaves in his wake.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, was mourning as he continued to fight the god-forsaken paperwork that littered his desk. He's been working at it for hours now and the pile didn't seem to lessen. In fact, it seems to have grown a few inches more. He cursed but refused to stop since he knew that the damn paper would multiply like rabbits if left alone. He sighed as he stamped another hateful document with relish.

How he longed to have a distraction just so he could take a few minutes of rest. His prayers were answered when the door to his office was opened with a loud bang revealing a widely grinning Naruto, his surrogate grandson. The grinning face brought a smile to his lips despite how tired he was of his work. It was a miracle how someone of Naruto's reputation always brings a smile to his face despite the hardships that the boy went through.

He knew that he would either go suicidal or homicidal with all the punishment the boy went through.

He frowned, however, when he noticed something different about the blonde. Naruto was taller, more muscular, and the lack of orange on his clothing brought alarm bells ringing inside his head. He chose to ignore it and wait for an explanation that he surmised would be the reason that the blonde visited him. With a smile still plastered on his face, he addressed the boy.

"What brings you here Naruto-kun?" the Hokage asked the smiling blonde.

"Jiji. Something amazing happened to me!" Naruto exclaimed with excitement.

The Hokage quirked an eyebrow at the declaration. This should be interesting. "Really? Well, grab a seat and tell me all about it." the Hokage gestured towards an empty seat in front of his desk which the blonde happily took.

"I had a fever a couple of days ago and I woke up this morning and found my body changed." blurted blonde.

"Really now, Naruto-kun? What do you mean changed? Please tell me everything and don't leave anything out." demanded the Hokage in a soft voice, trying to puzzle out the drastic change in his hyperactive surrogate grandson.

Naruto scratched the back of his head while gathering his thoughts. "Well, I woke up this morning tired from getting a fever a few days back. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and when I stood in front of the mirror, I saw that I became taller and got these cool muscles now. I feel so strong, I can hear even from far away, smell and taste better. It's all so cool!" declared Naruto with child-like exuberance.

Now the Hokage was worried. Such changes to the body can only have a few explanations. But in Naruto's case as the Kyuubi vessel, such changes could possibly mean that the beast was making the changes for the boy which was NEVER a good thing. It is also possible that there are other reasons as well but this requires a thorough check by a Medic-nin. He decided to satisfy his curiosity and proceeded to do just that.

"Well Naruto-kun, if you're not busy maybe we can go the hospital and have your body checked to make sure that everything is alright. After all, suffering from a fever for days and having your body changed might cause some problems later on." seeing Naruto nod, he pressed a button on his desk and informed the secretary that he will be taking the rest of the day off due to an important, impromptu appointment before proceeding to grab the boy on the shoulder and Shunshin-ed out of the office to the front of the hospital. He let go of the boy and gestured for him to follow.

A lot of civilians and shinobis bowed down to the Hokage but gave Naruto a glare which the boy ignored. The blatant disrespect towards the boy made the Hokage frown but he pushed the incident to the back of his mind since there is something more important to take care off. They reached one of the offices that littered the building and entered without so much as a knock.

The doctor, who was filling out a form behind his desk, saw his visitor and immediately stood up and gave the Hokage a bow. "Hokage-sama, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" he also noticed Naruto peeking behind their leader and gave the boy a smile. "Why hello Naruto-kun. Is it time for your monthly check-up again?"

"Hi Kaito-ji-san. Hokage-jiji just told me to follow him so I did." answered Naruto. He really liked this kind doctor since he was the only one in the hospital who was kind to him and took care of him every time he needs to visit the hospital.

The Hokage addressed the smiling doctor. "Good afternoon, Kaito. Something strange happened to Naruto and I would like you to give him a thorough check-up to make sure that nothing is amiss." He added the last part with extra emphasis indicating that this is possibly a Kyuubi matter and doesn't want the boy to know about the beast yet.

Kaito quirked an eyebrow at the hidden message behind the Hokage's words and nodded. He asked Naruto to sit on the bed which the boy complied. "So Naruto-kun, tell me everything that happened and don't leave anything out no matter how small."

So the boy did since he trusted the both of them with his life. After the story, Kaito asked Naruto to take off his shirt and pants, leaving him only in his boxers, and required him to lie down on the bed. He carefully noted the drastic change in his patient's physique and marveled at how improved Naruto's body was.

He made a few seals before his hands is covered with green energy before proceeding to hover it over Naruto's body, taking a bit longer in scanning his stomach in the process. He frowned a bit before doing it all over again. After 20 minutes, he asked Naruto to get dressed before sitting down behind his desk while scribbling a few notes on a piece of paper which he later attached to a clipboard.

"So Kaito, is there anything wrong with our ward here?" asked the Hokage while messing Naruto's hair a bit and giving a smile while the boy pouted for being treated like a kid.

"Hmmm…nothing is wrong with Naruto-kun, Hokage-sama. In fact, the boy is healthy, very healthy indeed." Kaito answered while putting the tip of his pen into his mouth, deep in thought.

"So there is nothing bad regarding the changes?" asked the Hokage, again adding a hidden emphases to 'bad' to make sure that the right message is carried across.

"No, in fact, while I was testing Naruto, it seemed that he awakened an unknown kekkei genkai that I know nothing off." the doctor informed the village leader with an excited gleam in his eyes.

This stunned the Hokage. Naruto has a kekkei genkai? He knew both the boy's parents since they were kids and both didn't exhibit any bloodline with the symptoms that Naruto displayed. Well, except the mother but that is mostly related to the beast. This was all confusing.

"Explain." the Hokage demanded. He needed more information if he needed to protect the boy and he knew that the council will be on the boy's throat if they hear about this.

"Hmmm from the diagnostics I performed on Naruto, it seems that his body changed according to a DNA strand that I picked up during my testing. Note that this was not present during last month's check up. It seemed that the fever was the result of the bloodline going active in his system and used the comatose state to improve the boy's overall physique." explained the doctor.

"Are these all the changes involved with the bloodline?" asked the Hokage with a frown on his face. Naruto just continued to listen to the conversation even if some of the terms were alien to him. He just stayed quiet as he was taught to do by the good doctor when the grown ups are talking.

"No. It changed everything in his biology. It seems that his bloodline also improved his senses making him superior to the Inuzuka clan in regards to their dog-like abilities. Also, the bloodline also gave him a significant boost in muscle mass and bone density – so that explains that strength and speed. Another interesting fact to note is his already impressive regeneration. We all know for a fact that he can heal wounds quickly, almost like a bloodline. However, the sudden change also increased his regenerative prowess as well so any wounds he receive will heal in a matter of seconds now, not to mention that his antibodies are working overtime to counteract any forms of poison or diseases that make its way into his system." The doctor paused for a bit, gathering his thoughts before continuing.

"The hyperactivity of this antibodies is what's causing the temperature even if the reading itself would mean that the boy should be dead right now. In conclusion, by all intent and purposes, the boy is 'un-killable' except for the most mortal wounds or decapitation. I am also excited to note that his new DNA sequence made him similar to that of a wolf-human hybrid if that is all possible. Oh, one downside is his metabolism. All these changes require an increased amount of food intake so that explains why he almost cleaned out Ichiraku earlier." explained the doctor, excitement increasing as he proceeded to mention the abilities the boy seems to possess.

The Hokage choked at the information. This made Naruto one of the most powerful human in Konoha. If he was properly trained then he would be a great addition to the shinobi force in the future. Heck, these abilities would even make him the most powerful Hokage if he achieve his dreams of becoming one. He also looked like he swallowed a lemon when the doctor mentioned the last part.

"A wolf? Are you sure it's a wolf? It isn't…?" the Hokage trailed off knowing that the doctor understood his reference to the Kyuubi inside the boy.

"No! Definitely a wolf. I should know. I studied different animals before since my thesis involves advancing medical technique using animals as a basis. It is definitely that of a wolf." the doctor confirmed the discovery with determination as if daring the Hokage to disagree with him.

Naruto listened to the two adults with a keen ear. He didn't recognize the heavy words they used but he wasn't stupid. He got the gist of their conversation. He has a cool bloodline. Also, the amount of food he ate earlier at Ichiraku was indeed a result of his changes. He almost choked at how battered and empty his 'gama-chan' would be starting from today. He needs to either earn money for food or he will be learning to hunt. The latter made him sweat since he didn't even know HOW to hunt in the first place. However, he wanted to ask about the wolf part as well so he voiced out his concern.

"Kaito-jiji. You said I'm a wolf?" asked an over-excited boy, his mind already conjuring up images of him with wolf ears, tails, claws, and fangs.

Kaito smiled at the boy's innocent nature. "No Naruto-kun. You're not a wolf but from what I discovered, your body is similar to that of a wolf. Your sense of hearing, smell, and taste; as well as your strength, speed, and reflex is uncannily similar to that of a wild wolf."

The Hokage interrupted the two. "So what does this all mean?"

"It means that Naruto-kun here is the sole holder of an unknown body-based bloodline that resembled that of a wolf. But it seems that there is more to this bloodline so I require additional tests. Are you both in a hurry?" asked the doctor calmly but the excitement lacing his voice betrayed the innocence of the question as if daring them to deny him this discovery under the promise of pain. This made the Hokage gulp and hurriedly decided to answer the fanatical doctor.

"No, we are free for today so you can proceed with your tests. I want to make sure that Naruto-kun here is without any problems." answered the Hokage with a smile. Indeed it was a powerful bloodline but he doesn't want his surrogate grandson to suffer in the future because he was playing Hokage in this role instead of a grandfather.

Kaito nodded and gestured for Naruto to stand up. "Now Naruto. We have already determined that you have an unknown body-based bloodline, do you have any questions so far?" seeing the boy shrug in negative. "Good. Now I want you to channel your chakra, as much as you can without straining yourself. You already know how to channel your chakra right?"

"Sure Kaito-ji-san. Iruka-sensei already taught us that in the Academy a few months back." answered Naruto.

"Perfect. Then please proceed." instructed a pleased Kaito since he didn't need to teach the boy anything just to satisfy his 'medical curiosity'.

Naruto nodded and did a ram seal and released his hold on his chakra. The result staggered both the Hokage and the doctor.

Upon previous check-up, they already knew that Naruto already have Jounin-level chakra reserves, but now, he is easily up there with the Kages. They were both flabbergasted at what they were seeing. The chakra Naruto was releasing was so powerful that it created a light blue aura around him. Kaito immediately gestured for Naruto to stop to avoid damaging the building with the amount of wild chakra the blonde was releasing.

"Amazing! Last month's check-up easily put him in Jounin chakra levels. But now, he is easily on low-Kage levels and he is still developing. This is astounding. It seems whatever changed his physical make-up also boosted his chakra reserves as well. Simply amazing!" exclaimed an excited doctor as he jotted down the results on his clipboard.

Naruto frowned after pulling the chakra back to his body. He decided to voice out his concerns. "Uhhh Hokage-jiji, Kaito-ji-san, something happened while I was channeling my chakra."

"Really, Naruto-kun. I didn't see anything wrong." said Kaito as he continued to scribble on his clipboard not bothering to look at Naruto.

"Ummm… when you asked me to channel my chakra, I see you all a lot better. The colors were brighter and I can see all of you clearly, even that small mark on your right eyebrow. My vision is back to normal though." said Naruto apprehensively, thinking that he might have something wrong with his recent change.

Kaito's eyebrows rose quickly at the information. To see the pinprick mark hidden behind his eyebrows was astounding. He got it while he was still a field medic when he was pecked by one of the birds he was studying and no one knew about it, except now. "Well, it seems that your bloodline is definitely body-based and a doujutsu as well. It seems that an application of chakra to your eyes also improves your vision as well. Curious…very curious." muttered Kaito while taking a few notes in Naruto's medical file.

"What's a doujutsu?" asked a curious Naruto. He didn't know the term but he knew instinctively that it was of significance.

The Hokage chose to answer this query from the blonde boy.

"A doujutsu, Naruto-kun, is an eye-based technique that displays specific characteristics and results. Are you with me so far?" Naruto nodded so he continued. "Most doujutsus requires chakra to activate and yours seems to be one of them and it seems to be part of your bloodline. To give you an example, the Hyuuga clan has a doujutsu called the Byakugan. This allows them to have a 360-degree vision allowing them to see almost everywhere at once, even through walls. Another example is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing the explanation, Naruto jumped out of his chair and bounced around the room in excitement. "Wohooo! I have a cool doujutsu. I have a cool bloodline. Wohooo!"

The two adults looked at the bouncing kid in amusement and were heartened that the kid didn't loose his smile even after the years of suffering under the idiot villager's actions.

The Hokage decided to curb the boy's excitement to get to the important part. "Sit down Naruto-kun. We need to talk about this later. There are some important things you need to know concerning your bloodline." The tone that the Hokage used to address the blonde curbed the boy's excitement and nodded before proceeding to sit on a chair but continued to fidget in excitement. Again, the Hokage couldn't help but smile and ruffled the child's hair again for good measure. He looked at the smiling Kaito. "So is there anything else we need to know about Kaito?"

"Hmmmm… I think that's the gist of it. There might be more changes and abilities popping out soon since he just manifested the change so it is best to let Naruto-kun come to me with a weekly check-up to make sure everything is alright. I would also suggest for the boy to have a teacher to help him control his abilities since it would be dangerous, especially his strength. Other than that, Naruto-kun is a healthy 8-year old boy."

The Hokage nodded. "Good. Thank you for your time Kaito and make sure that you keep the result of today's discovery under wraps. From now on, Naruto's bloodline will be an S-rank secret that is only for 3 of us to know unless Naruto or I chose to divulge it otherwise. Understood?"

Kaito nodded, closed the folder with Naruto's bloodline results and proceeded to lock it inside his blood-sealed scroll. The Hokage saw this and gave him a nod of approval before grasping Naruto again on the shoulder and exited the room to his office in the Hokage Tower via Shunshin leaving a smiling doctor at his wake thinking of this new development regarding his favorite blonde.
