Reborn In The Narutoverse 12 Namikaze's Inheritance Art Of A 1,000 Seals Finale!

After returning to his room with the Hokage everyone jumped up, and were instantly amazed by his eye being regenerated, he explained the same thing he told Sarutobi, and it seemed to have paid off. Naruto, Karin, and his mother refused to release him when he shouted "I'm fine! By removing Danzo from the Konoha's Council we have performed a great deed to the village and will be rewarded so."

Kibo had told the Hokage about his Chakra cooking technique, and was promised to help him set his family as the sole creator. Others would be allowed to learn and benefit from it for 5% of their profits, giving his family a great deal of wealth. He also told the Sarutobi to give Teuchi a few months before releasing this information. Because of this in these next few months Ichiraku's business would flourish, as many Ninja would pay a lot of money to eat his food now. Though, because it was still Ramen it was very affordable.

It didn't take long for his mother to begin scolding him, "Do have any Idea how terrified your actions make me, any other mother would have grounded you for life, but your grandpa and father insist I give you the freedom to act as you please. I don't care how much of a genius you are you're my son; and from now on you will inform me of everything you're up to, and I will decide if your allowed go out without me or a guard from the Hos.h.i.+ Clan!" Naruto laughed in a mischievous way and said "Busted! Nii Chan!" When Niwa pulled Naruto into her grips as well, "That goes for you too young man. I hear you like pull pranks!" and this night, Naruto for the first time in his life felt genuine fear!

s.h.i.+sui apologized to Kibo "I'm sorry, I wasn't fast enough!" Kibo waved his hand to tell the bowed s.h.i.+sui to come over, when Kibo suddenly flicked s.h.i.+sui's forehead protector with just enough strength to make s.h.i.+sui look at the ceiling. "You're not G.o.d s.h.i.+sui, there are some things in life you can't handle no matter how fast you are. Quit putting yourself down, you got me here and saved my life." Kibo held out his hand, "Friends don't need to apologize for things that are out of their control." Seeing this s.h.i.+sui shook his hand and said before leaving with the Hokage "If you ever need anything just ask!"

Kibo's mother tried to get him home to rest, when he insisted on continuing his training, now more than ever Kibo wanted strength, the strength to act on his knowledge concerning this universe without being hindered, and if he stopped now it would only slow their progress. Kibo looked to Karin, and Naruto before spending a good hour of begging, finally convincing his mother that they'd be safe where they were going to train.

They headed to the waterfall and resumed practice, Kibo returned to his Dragon stance and continued to watch Naruto grow, thanks to Karin's steady advice and Naruto's constant questions that gave her inspiration as well, the two had managed to make it to the top of the waterfall in less than half a day. Seeing this as a sign that they were ready, the group headed over to the Training Cave, Kibo stood in front as they marched up the stairs to the closest cave entrance.

The symbol for Genin was written on a wooden post, Kibo and the rest decided to venture in, when they discovered the moment they entered the entire environment had s.h.i.+fted, they trio found themselves in a strange cave system full of broken kunai, and battle scars on the walls. Kibo picked up a broken Kunai and used his Tengan to read the objects past. The Kunai belonged to a Genin that looked a bit like Has.h.i.+rama when he was young. The technique's in the Kunai were pathetic but it gave him an idea of what was about to happen.

Kibo pulled out his swords and looked to Naruto, "Get ready for combat!" There were hundreds of wooden combat puppets roaming these caves, and each had the power of a high ranking Genin. Although they couldn't use any Nin-Jutsu, they had peak Genin levels of Chakra and powerful physiques. Kibo made his way through the halls and found himself fighting against several dummies, he could easily beat them but he decided to let Naruto and Karin improve on their Tai-Jutsu training, he found a place to relax and sat back to chill out.

As they fought Kibo covered them in Star Chakra, they looked like they had donned an ancient battle armor that that glowed with radiant star light; the aesthetic appearance of the equipment resembled that of a Samurai's attire.

This would protect them from the strange living wooden doll's Tai-Jutsu, while the two could then focus on dodging and attacking. Naruto and Karin had almost no Tai-Jutsu training, and probably wouldn't until they joined the academy. What Kibo wanted to give them was experience for real fights. Although he gave them a safety net, he made sure to weaken the defenses of his 'Star Equip' just enough so that they could still feel the pain.

Naruto and Karin were smacked around for hours, during this time Kibo picked up a bunch of broken Kunai and Ninja weapons while looking for suitable techniques on them, he was planning on teaching these Jutsus to Naruto and Karin; that way they could teach him in return. When suddenly he found what he was looking for, lying stuck inside the stone wall was one of Minato's Flying Thunder G.o.d Kunai.

Kibo took out the knife and held it in his hands. His Tengan was rapidly processing the information, when Kibo started smiling. This Kunai was from an age when he brought Kakas.h.i.+ here, so it had many useful technique and memories. He now knew where to go, it was like he had thought, the Namikaze compound was hidden inside this cave somewhere and Naruto's blood was the key to activating the transportation seal.

Naruto and Karin were beginning to get the hang of fighting; they were starting to predict their enemy's movements, and choosing the most opportune moments to attack. After seeing this Kibo stepped in and made quick work of the dolls, he wanted the two to adjust to combat not become brawlers. His blades chopped down tearing through everything that came across its path. His Ken-Jutsu skills had improved a great deal, and thanks to his constant training and improvement his chakra levels had reached the near the peak of Genin.

Knocking around a few hundred wooden puppets was nothing for him. Kibo led the two deep into the cavern when they discovered a large platform with strange writing on it. Kibo walked up to it and told Naruto to place a drop of his blood on it. Kibo and Karin grabbed onto one of Naruto's shoulders as the blood dropped onto the ground. The room lit up in a flash, as the trio was suddenly transported to a far away location just on the edge of Konohagakure's borders.

They were deep underground in a rather large estate, although there were no windows; the large hallways and rooms were well lit, seeming to be brightened by runes that gave off fire chakra. Different kinds of runes were scattered throughout the estate, and every nook and cranny of this underground building had some form of plant life growing.

They walked through the different rooms, many were for living purposes, and only a few seemed to be related to Nin-Jutsu training. One was a large gravity room that only seemed to go up to 5 times earth's natural gravity; another had many tools for several other various Ninja exercises.

It was the last room they entered and found what they were searching for, as they entered into a wide open circular room covered in a square gra.s.s platform, and a single stone stele with a large scroll laying on top of it. Kibo inspected the area around and discovered only one with Namikaze blood made tread upon these grounds. If Karin or Kibo tried they'd be teleported to G.o.d knows where. Kibo held onto the 4th's Kunai tightly as he was truly thankful for his Tengan's ability.

Before Naruto took the scroll Kibo noticed writing on the stone slab underneath the scroll resting place, as he read it out loud his eyes began to widen "We are the Namikaze Clan, your ancestor was the child of Indra Ōtsutsuki's fist and most talented disciple. Betrayed and slain by his master, I Indra Namikaze named after the first born of Hagoromo's descendants; took the Scroll of Ninshu from Indra's dojo and swore my allegiance to serve Asura and his kinsmen for generations. To surviving Namikaze member's please know, that this scroll contains the essence of all of Indra's insight into Ninshu and once you gain a basic understanding of them; all Nin-Jutsu's shall become far easier to understand and create. Know that building a house with no foundation will lead to disaster, it is my hope for my future descendants to fight alongside of the Asura Clan and protect his way of life; the way of the Will of Fire." As he continued to read he discovered that every Namikaze clan leader wrote down a message for every generation, they even added their own discoveries to the scroll dozens of times.

The last message was from Minato "To my first born child, this is the Namikaze's Inheritance, if your reading this then that means you've pa.s.sed the Genin level test and have become the new scion of the Namikaze's only living members. Congratulation my child I'm proud of you."

"Congratulations to Host for completing the quest! Awards listed below!" Navi announce

[5,000 Sys Pts awarded; 1 Star Chamber Relic awarded.]

Naruto started crying and Kibo and Karin went to his side and consoled him, after he'd dried his tears he brought back the scroll and opened for the two to see. "Are you sure Naruto?" Kibo asked, "Yes I'm sure, dad wouldn't mind either." The three opened the scroll and started reading, after several hours of heated debates and mind numbing problems, the group realized they couldn't pull this off in a single day. They packed up the scroll when Kibo offered to keep it in his storage s.p.a.ce. He explained it as part of his Do-Jutsu and that it could be kept safely inside a s.p.a.ce separate from reality. Naruto and Karin had stars of wors.h.i.+p in their eyes and he stored the material. He headed out side and told Karin to meet them at his place tomorrow.

"Why aren't you gonna walk me home today?" Karin said looking sad when Kibo sighed, he walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek. Karin's face looked like a tomato, as Kibo was reminded of Kus.h.i.+na nick name and chuckled before whispering "I need to talk to Naruto in private for a bit, I promise I'll make it up to you."

Karin was stuttering as she tried to say something; however all she could do is turn around and shout while running away "Yes My Darling!" A trail of smoke tracked her position through the forest making Kibo laugh, it was around sun set, and the snow was falling hard, Kibo walked over to Naruto and sat down on the ground. "Naruto I think it's time to let Kurama out of that cage don't you."

Naruto smiled and said, "You know I want to, but I don't know the Uzumaki's sealing technique. Kibo laughed and said, "With this I can unlock it for you!" Kibo showed Naruto his dad's Kunai. "As long as I hold it, I can even teach you your mother's Uzumaki inheritance." Naruto's eye's s.h.i.+ned as he thanked Kibo repeatedly, "Thank you Nii Chan!"

After Naruto calmed down, Kibo cleaned the dagger, then placed it in his mouth, channeling Minato's knowledge he performed a series of hand signs, that if the Hokage saw, would have thought it was Minato reincarnated. Before he finished he asked Navi "Are you sure his Parent's Chakra won't dissipate?"

"The seal will simply unlock, because the key was used and Naruto didn't force it, the Chakra will remain intact." Navi replied.

A blue colored Chakra appeared around Kibo's fingertips when he told Naruto to lift up his s.h.i.+rt; Naruto did so without asking why when Kibo struck his stomach "Eight Trigrams Divination Seal, Spell Formula, Release!" The gates came up as Kurama stretched his legs and shook his body. "Alright kid! You held up you end of the deal. So shall I!"

Naruto was pulled into his mindscape to see Kurama holding out his fist. Naruto placed his hand out and b.u.mped it while saying his traditional none sense word "Datebayo!" When Naruto came back to reality he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, then Kibo decided to pull out the Relic and give it to Naruto.

"What's this?" Naruto asked.

"A present for the fox; he gets a treat for keeping his end of the deal. Just crush it and he'll receive it." Naruto squeezed the Relic and its fragments began entering into Naruto's abdomen, Kurama was surprised as the mindscape turned into a ma.s.sive realm of white skies and with a black sun that s.h.i.+ned down on the land. There were bits of every element inside this s.p.a.ce, showing Kurama's main two as affinities as Yin and Yang. Naruto felt a subtle change in his body, as this was no longer a Bijuu sealed inside his body situation, but a true fusion and of linking souls. As long as Kurama remained inside this alternate s.p.a.ce he would continue to recover, and maybe even surpa.s.s his old self. Also Naruto's physique seemed to have changed a bit too, like he had gained something other than a star chamber.

Naruto's eyes looked like Kurama's pupil but retained their blue color. It seemed to fill the air with Kurama's Aura, Kibo felt like he was being stared down by him in person, when Naruto's eye returned to normal. "Was that a Do-Jutsu?" Kibo shouted.

Naruto looked at his face using the lake as a mirror. Then he activated the Kurama eye again and he felt that he could focus his killing intent into a paralyzing effect of those that stared into it. Of course it didn't work forever and could be overcome by simple courage; but to a s.h.i.+n.o.bi a second of being immobile means death! Naruto could use this to disrupt his opponent's rhythm giving him the chance to land a fatal strike.

"Is there anything else?" Kibo asked, "Yea, it feels, I don't know how to explain this; but I think I can feel the elements." Kibo thought of something strange, as he pulled out a piece of Chakra paper. He told Naruto to place his Chakra in it to test his elemental affinity. Naruto did so when the paper suddenly, split, turned to stone, lit on fire, was dampened by water, a spark of electricity shot off one corner, and the last piece turned into metal.

"All six elements!" Kibo shouted, and they all seemed balanced. "Oh boy!" Kibo thought, he just turned Naruto into a beast! The link made between him and Kurama, it altered his physiology slightly giving him a perfect body to be his host. Kibo really wished he had some kind of scanning cheat to look at Naruto's status, but it would seem he has to wait to discover if there are any other changes.

"6 Elements? I thought there were only 5?" Naruto asked looking puzzled.

Kibo scratched his head and tried to explain what he had discovered since Seiryu began to teach him about Cultivation, "Well, metal is kind of special, steel can be made by fusing earth and lightning, but metal is completely different form steel release as it only covers one type of metal; Metal is considered to be the missing link in our 5 element chart; it comes from a lack of understanding the full scope of our universe's laws."

Kibo then began to break down the element system, "In actuality there are 6 Earthly Elements and 6 Heavenly Elements. The Earthly Elements consist of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Metal; the 6 Heaven Elements are Yin-Yang, s.p.a.ce-Time, Aether, Samsara, Divine, and Abyssal. The 6 Earthly Elements combined make the Epochal Void Element, and the 6 Heavenly Elements merged together make the Legendary Creation Element." After explaining Naruto nodded his head, listening to every word, when he then asked, "Are there any more?" Kibo laughed as he said "Yes, you can fuse different elements to make more advanced ones, for instance; by fusing Water and Earth you can use Wood element, lightning and metal make Magnetic element, mixing three is even harder and requires a huge amount of Chakra to pull it off, and years of practice merging them together."

"Has anyone ever had an affinity with all 12 Elements?" Naruto asked, making Kibo try to think of a good way to explain this in a way Naruto could understand "No one is born with affinities for the Heavenly Elements; they can only be learned and perfected through comprehension. Remember how I said Hagoromo was called the Sage of 6 paths that's because he could use all 6 elements. The truth seeking orbs could be considered to be a form of metal manipulation as Metal acts as blank Chakra that can be imprinted with every kind of Chakra, and on top of this he mastered the 6 Deva paths as well; which in actuality were the 6 Heavenly Elements. "

"The 6 Paths were the Deva Path, which has the ability to attract or repel objects; represented by the use of the Yin-Yang Element. Asura Path the ability to use any form of weapons and armor, by being able to read the entre cycle of the material life history in a similar manner to my Do-Jutsu; which is actualized by the Samsara Element. Human Path: the ability to read minds and control souls which is derived from Element Aether or also known as the Element of souls and consciousness. Animal Path: Use of Summoning Jutsu to call upon numerous animals; s.p.a.ce-Time Element Duh. Preta Path: the ability to Absorb Chakra; comes from the Divine Element; and Naraka Path, the ability to summon and control the King of h.e.l.l that is derived from the Abyssal Element!" Naruto was captivated by the power of Hagoromo's strength, and even Kurama was surprised by how knowledgeable Kibo was concerning his father's abilities.

Kibo scratched his head before saying "I can't figure out why he only called himself the sage of 6 paths instead of 12. Maybe it had something to do with that he hadn't been able to fuse them all together."

Naruto jaw slacked "You can fuse all 12 elements into one!?"

Kibo laughed and said "All Earthy Elements and Heavenly Elements make Chaos Element, the most potent form of energy that exists in the universe. Well that is according to Seiryu said anyways."

"Well enough of that; does anything else feel different?" Kibo asked as Naruto jumped up with a bit too much strength, the 4 year old had pushed himself nearly six meters off the ground. As he landed small cracks could be seen at his feet spreading around a good 10 inches into the earth, and Naruto was completely unharmed. "I feel great, and so does Kurama!" Naruto wasn't speaking for him, but he could feel Kurama's emotions through the chamber, the damage that he took, when the reaper cut a piece out of him was quickly being healed.

Within seconds the Nine Tailed Fox leapt around happily as it explored the infinite landscape. It could drink from the lakes or oceans, or laze under the ma.s.sive tree's shade; sometimes he would eat extra large fruit that hanged form the strange trees growing here. This was much better than all of his previous host's mindscapes combined. When Kibo told him that he could bring in snacks Kurama demanded he hunt a deer for him, and not just any old deer but a Giant Chakra beast deer.

Naruto said he would tomorrow because it was getting late and they had to head home, while Kurama sulked Kibo offered some of his catches from his battle at Hos.h.i.+gakure, but according to Naruto he wouldn't eat a beast below B rank, he remembered Seiryu showed no interest in low ranking beast as well, he a.s.sumed it had something to do with the levels of Chakra in the creatures bodies.

The sun had started to set as they left for home, on the way back Naruto decided to name his Do-Jutsu Kyuubigan, Kibo laughed and said that it sounded appropriate, when they reached their house they were met by a ticked off mother.

Niwa scolded them for being so late, and said they wouldn't get dinner; however once the two put on their puppy dog eye act she caved in. The two ate an explained that they lost track of time training. His family was happy to hear that Naruto was making progress when Jun spoke out in a jolly tone, "Can you imagine our legend when people hear we raised two future Kages." The family shared a good meal and took their baths before going to bed, tonight Naruto stayed inside Kibo's room. They planned to stay up late and study the Scroll of a Thousand Seals as long as they could.

Hours had pa.s.sed even without them knowing, the two were so drawn into the original art of Ninshu, that they had completely lost track of time. Naruto and Kibo conversed extensively on how different hand signs alter the flow of Chakra in the body in multiple ways, and after combining them to form a Jutsu required a certain pattern. A pattern Kibo and Naruto were catching on to, they talked for hours making many hypothesis and formed many conjectures, when they realized the sun was mere hours from rising they freaked out.

Kibo and Naruto had bags under their eye's and only 4 hours of sleep till they needed to get up. Karin met them after breakfast, thankfully the meal restored some of their stamina, when they asked what kind of training they would do today, what Kibo said made them shocked with worry.
