Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/239970.htmlHe felt the slight chill in the air before the shadow. That told him who was interrupting his kunai practice before the other spoke.
"Uchiha."
"Uzumaki."
"You have lost many. Your clan was slaughtered."
"You state the obvious," said Sasuke, turning back to the targets.
"The dead pass messages on through me," said Naruto. "Your uncle wants you to have something he had hidden away."
"People who are killed are dead," stated Sasuke.
"The dead do not always rest," stated Naruto. "Come on, I don't want to get woken up by Teyaki Uchiha again tonight. Let the poor spirit go to his rest."
"Oh?" asked Sasuke, curious now.
It had been exactly where Naruto had indicated. A stone which had been cut, hollowed out and then rejoined. In it was the secret recipe of Uchiha Senbei as well as a few other documents and a small journal.
As soon as he'd gotten back to the home he'd occupied since the Massacre, Sasuke had hidden the recipe away and begun going through the rest of the documents.
When he was done, he sat back and considered things. Naruto Uzumaki could speak with the dead. Which was not as impressive as the idea that the dead could answer him.
This was a secret, something Sasuke understood. It was a great and terrible secret, and as long as it remained secret - it was a power that could come as a surprise to give an advantage to those associating with the sleep-deprived boy known as Naruto Uzumaki.
Power was something to be acquired and cultivated.
If it wasn't a bloodline, then it still wasn't a regular jutsu. Many people had noted that Naruto's eyes seemed to track motion in an empty room or that he'd look or react to something nobody else saw. This just made him really weird to most. Sasuke now had a pretty good idea of WHAT Naruto was seeing.
How many ghosts could there be in a ninja village? How many dead were unable to rest within its borders?
No, this was one jutsu that even if he COULD learn it - Sasuke decided that he would avoid trying that one. It seemed to carry a particularly heavy burden.
