Chapter 3: Naruto's Bloodline.
It was a strange morning for Naruto as he ate breakfast in the dining room and tried to keep his eyes away from Yuki.
Since he was in this situation, Naruto had nothing to say to her and was forced to make an effort to conceal his embarrassment from people like Kakashi and Sakura, who could see his changes clearly.
'Hmm!' Kakashi noticed something, but Yuki's expression remained calm, and it was only Naruto who was having difficulty adjusting his emotions and acted suspiciously for the time being, but he soon started to control his emotions well as he heard Boruto snicker.
'That brat is definitely enjoying it all,' Naruto thought as he ate his breakfast and went outside to blow off some steam, as this time he decided to re-train his chakra control.
First, mold the chakra over the foot's sole.
Using it as a base, rush toward the tree and maintain a constant amount of chakra to climb over the tree, using the attractive property of the chakra.
'Argh!' Naruto, who was halfway past his original limit, encountered an unstable stand and was pushed back, leaving a foot mark on the tree's base.
The distance he had traveled this time was measured as he leaped back and silently landed, but there had been little advancement.
As a result, he was left with no choice but to repeat the rotation until daybreak.
While Sasuke moved to a new location and continued practicing alone because, for some reason, he did not want to see Naruto at that particular moment.
The main driver behind his reasoning, however, was fairly juvenile: he was upset by the idea that Naruto might finish this training before him and was afraid of it.
"Naruto, what is wrong with those hairs of yours?" Sakura only became aware of Naruto's hair color change after he arrived for dinner.
His hair had turned red from the root up, but the corner edges had remained orange.
Kakashi had also observed these changes, but because he was aware that Naruto was descended from the Uzumaki clan, he did not find them to be unexpected and informed Sakura of the traits of the Uzumaki clan.
"So are you saying that Naruto's hair color will continue to turn red, like this?" Kakashi simply nodded at first before shaking his head in response to Sakura's question.
"Maybe yes! Or maybe no."
With that brief response, he went silent and began to eat the food in front of him, oblivious to Sakura, who was uncertain at the time whether Kakashi was trying to hide something or was being completely honest.
Although this was not a huge surprise after seeing Kakashi's sharingan, it did make one wonder who Naruto's real parents were in the beginning.
Since Naruto was only an orphan at the time, he had no such background and had only been referred to as a troublemaker.
Since many shinobi had a tendency to awaken their bloodlines in the past, and a small number of Uzumaki had as well, it really was not a big deal.
Kakashi was convinced that Naruto was about to release his bloodline after observing these subtle changes in him, even though he had limited knowledge of the Uzumaki bloodline's upper limit.
He wondered if this incident was the beginning of the release of the Naruto bloodline.
'If Naruto were to gain Mind eye like that of master Kushina, then he might be able to learn my Chidori too.' Because of interference from the Kyuubi chakra and as a benefit of being a Junchiriki, Kakashi was aware that Naruto's chakra attribute had only a weak affinity for lightning.
Even so, it was more than enough for him to allow Naruto to learn about the lightning attribute chidori that he wished to teach to a student who had a chance of becoming proficient in this skill of his.
Kaguya's Mind eye was an extremely effective and potent ability that allowed him to perceive anything in his immediate environment without having to directly address the enemy.
Even though Chidori was a powerful ninjutsu with A-rank lethality, it was also the most difficult to learn and use in actual combat without the aid of bloodline dojutsu or abilities.
Because of this, he was the only shinobi in his rank to have mastered this technique. No other shinobi of comparable rank had done so.
Naruto noticed that his bloodline, chakra amount, and wind control were beginning to manifest themselves inside his body as the days went on.
To shock Sakura, Naruto's hair actually turned all red, and his face began to glow with a special charm as his azure eyes began to draw a lot of attention from residents of the town.
Since Naruto's appearance was something he inherited from his father, and because of Boruto's interference, Naruto began to dress appropriately and get a proper haircut inside the Pocket Hunting dimension.
This seemed to be drawing a lot of girls' attention, which was beginning to annoy them.
Kakashi kept his face hidden because he never imagined that these new developments in Naruto would draw those girls in the same way that his teacher had in the past.
Given that Kakashi had experienced trauma in the past, it was also a secret as to why he had worn those masks on his face for so long.
While Boruto experienced a headache contemplating how a blockhead like his dead mother could have been able to understand his mother's feelings in the past, a blockhead like Naruto did not take the enthusiasm of those girls in any direction.
He could only imagine the suffering his mother must have endured for Naruto to understand how she felt about him.
He also remembered his mother telling him that she was usually very reserved.
Until that day finally came...
Naruto had finished his training that morning and was walking toward the bridge while leaving a shadow clone on the side of the house to make sure Inari and Yuki would be okay. His real body was moving quickly in that direction.
'It is about to start; I hope Sasuke will be fine until I reach there.' Sasuke and Naruto have been training separately for the entire time, so Naruto was unsure if Sasuke had fully mastered the art of tree climbing.
Until he started to feel a little strange, Inari decided to get up and go outside while still lying on his bed and silently gazing out the window at the quiet town.
'Hmm!' When Inari entered the house, he noticed a strange smell.
He quickly ran to the kitchen, where he discovered his mother being held captive by two assassins Gato had hired.
"Mom!" When the Naruto clone went outside to check the other side of the village, he screamed because he thought he heard someone and hurried over to investigate.
The murderer moved Yuki's body while keeping the knife close to the boy's mother. He smiled twistedly as he realized there was no one else in the house besides this mother and son team, and he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Damn, that old man is not here! We have just wasted our time coming here." While grumbling to themselves and looking at Yuki with a spooky smile on their faces and an offensive expression, the other two killers clicked in frustration.
"Hehe! We can just play with her for now; that can be counted as compensation for our effort."
Inari noticed that his feet were growing cold as they were talking and staring at Yuki, but he lacked the courage to get up when he remembered Naruto's words from before he left and the way he looked as he struggled to descend the stairs.
"You see, getting beaten or getting drowned is not painful at all. But being unable to move at the time when we need to move can cause pain for a lifetime."
Inari rushed with a scream and held his bat to die with it, thinking about it as he did so in order to save the person he had been sharing a home with.
