Kakashi spoke as he stood looking at the transformed ghost boy, "First lesson is Taijutsu, however it also looks like we will be having a lesson on kekkei genkai." Naruto looked a little surprised at the mention of his bloodline limit, but he continued to teach the students that he had. "A kekkei genkai or bloodline limit is a genetic ability that is linked to a family that allows them to perform acts that would take much more chakra to use a jutsu or to use moves that could not be duplicated by jutsu. The particular bloodline limit that Naruto is using is called the Reichi."
Naruto's eyes opened wide as Kakashi gave him a wink as the teacher spoke again, "To explain it to your teammates, it is a rediscovered bloodline that has the power to turn a person into a living ghost with the powers of a spirit. Which includes abilities like being invisible as well as being able to pass through solid matter, just to name two of it's powers." While the jonin was doing this he was placing on his hands a set of black gloves that he had gotten from the ghosthunter team that the Hokage had created. It was something that they had just invented, and test just a couple of times before they gave it to him for a good test in a combat situation.
The ghost boy seemed to be frozen for a second before he attack with his fists and feet at the jonin, which as dodge with every move before the young ninja could make a hit. Slipping behind Naruto, the silver haired one forced chakra into the gloves as he made the hand sign of the tiger for an attack. He heard a cry of, "Naruto, get out of there! He's going to kill you! ", which caused him some joy as their was at least one teammate that was willing to help a fellow ninja even if in a small way.
'They think that I am doing some kind of killer fire jutsu since most of those involve the tiger sign in some way. They didn't notice that I was giving a lesson in taijutsu, so that don't know my true move, ' thought the one eyed ninja as he spoke out loud, "Too late! Now for the leaf village's most secret and and sacred jutsu! One Thousand Years of Death!" Then he shoved his fingers up the butt of his violet haired charge, which caused him to scream out in surprise, shock and pain.
After jumping up in the air before levelling out in flight, the green eyed one turned and looked at his teacher with anger in those same orbs. He said, "How the heck did you touch me? Your hand should have passed straight through my body, there is no way that you should have been able to touch me with out ghost powers! "
"Normally, that would be true. It turns outs that the Hokage has been working to fight against enemy ghost, which includes equipment like these Ghostgrabber Gloves. When the right amount of chakra is channelled into the gloves that can hold on to beings and items that can pass through solid matter. So that allows me to fight you without having to worry about passing straight through you." Kakashi hoped that Naruto would not notice that the gloves wasted chakra in order to work, so that he would have to limit his use of the device. Making this fight both easier and harder than expected.
Minutes earlier, in the brush nearby...
Sasuke could not believe that the dobe had his own bloodline limit, just like the one that the Uchiha had. He added, 'Worse, he seems to have gotten it before I could even activate my Sharingan. It gives him an advantage that I could copy with my doujutsu since it's blood based, not jutsu based. I have never heard of this Reichi before, but if it is a rediscovered limit that might not be unexpected. That's both a good thing and bad thing. Good that Naruto doesn't know how to use it's full power against me, but bad that I don't known what kind of power he's hiding.' Sasuke could hold back a shiver in his wonder of the idea that the Reichi might be more powerful than the Sharingan, which would have given him the power to kill his older brother.
He saw that his cyclops like sensei was about to attack with a tiger sign, a signature of a fire jutsu. Sasuke could only wonder if the elemental jutsu could effect something that was suppose to be like a ghost. Then he witnessed the true attack their teacher used against their violet haired team member, using the special gloves that allowed the jonin to attack the young ninja. One word crossed the mind of the avenger, "Idiots!" The moody boy could not believe that he was being taught by a ninja that would use such a silly move or that he was competing against a ninja with a powerful bloodline that would fall for that kind of move. Sasuke could only think of the ease that he would have with getting that bell so that he could get on step closer to gaining his vengeance. If he was the only on to pass, all the better.
'For now, I'll let the two of them fight it out. Hopefully, Naruto will tire out our sensei enough for me to be able to over take him without any effort.' Sasuke thought as he planned his next move.
We turn to a different point of view of the same events...
Sakura could not believe that Naruto, of all people, had access to a kekkei genkai. Especially one that would give him the powers of a ghost, powers that would make him a dangerous ninja if he was properly trained. In her mind Sakura thought, 'This almost makes Naruto seem cool, especially given the new outfit that he's wearing that makes him look less like a reject.' Then she saw that Kakashi-sensei was about to use a fire attack from the tiger sign that he was using, so she called out to Naruto to warn him. But it was too late as the jonin attack with what amounted to a butt poke, which caused Sakura to grimace at the embarrassing attack.
Though, she couldn't help but be jealous as she saw Naruto show off his ability to fly. Her thoughts turned on that point, "I can't believe that his bloodline allows him to fly, that is so cool!" She waited continued to wait for her move to grab the bells for Sasuke and herself. Part of herself felt bad for having to send Naruto back to the academy, but this was a mission of love and she would complete this with her power of romance!
