Backstory: The Rejected Vessel
Naruto's Parents' Betrayal: In this timeline, Minato and Kushina never truly loved Naruto. They intentionally allowed him to become the Nine-Tails vessel only partially, infusing a tiny fraction of the beast's chakra into him. Naruto was a disposable "bait" meant to protect the real heir—their daughter.
Village Perception: To Konoha, Naruto isn't a hero or orphan; he's an escaped liability. He's ostracized, hated, and eventually banished, leaving him with only rage, cunning, and survival instinct. Even mentors like Jiraiya and Tsunade despise him for failing to live up to their expectations or for being associated with the Kyuubi.
Resulting Mental State: Naruto grows hardened, cold, and ruthless. He sees shinobi society as a machine that uses individuals for ends, and he no longer values bonds—he values power and survival.

Journey to the Uzumaki Homeland
Purpose: Naruto seeks the lost secrets of his clan, focusing on sealing techniques, forbidden jutsu, and methods to bend chakra to one's will.
Body Modification (Forearms):
Naruto carves seals into his forearms so intensely that all flesh and muscle are destroyed, leaving only blackened bone.
These bones are no longer ordinary—they are a void that absorbs light, giving him a terrifying, unnatural appearance.
The seals carved into his bones act as conduits, allowing him to channel chakra directly through bone, creating weapons, barriers, and techniques that ordinary flesh-based chakra pathways cannot handle.
The forearms become a signature weapon system: blackened bone conduits inscribed with seals, capable of generating monstrous chakra constructs or weapons.

Acquiring the Ketsuryūgan
Process: Naruto encounters a wielder of the Ketsuryūgan, a bloodline that can manipulate blood at the cellular level. He violently extracts their eyes and implants them into himself.
Eye Mechanics:
Unlike the Byakugan, the Ketsuryūgan doesn't see chakra networks.
Instead, it visualizes blood vessels in extreme detail, allowing:
Targeted attacks to shut off or rupture blood flow.
Manipulation of opponents' circulatory system remotely.
Genjutsu focused on blood perception, inducing hallucinations by manipulating oxygen and blood pressure in the brain.
The Ketsuryūgan works synergistically with his blackened-bone seals, as chakra weapons can now be directed with vascular precision, attacking both the body and the blood simultaneously.

Powers and Abilities
1. Black Bone Chakra Weaponry:
Chakra weapons can be materialized from his forearm bones.
Weapons range from swords, spears, chains, to abstract constructs like blackened shields or bone pillars.
Seals allow weapons to interact with chakra and blood simultaneously, making him lethal against any shinobi.
2. Blood Manipulation via Ketsuryūgan:
Can clog veins, rupture arteries, or force internal bleeding with precision.
Enhanced combat intuition—he predicts opponent's movements by monitoring blood flow patterns.
3. Seals as Amplifiers:
Forearm seals can absorb chakra from the environment, or directly absorb chakra from attacks mid-battle.
The more damage he endures, the stronger the void effect becomes, consuming enemy chakra, light, and energy.
4. Genjutsu Enhancement:
Uses blood as a medium for illusions, causing opponents to perceive hallucinations based on pain, injury, or fear.

Psychology and Combat Style
Ruthless Executioner Mentality:
Naruto doesn't fight to protect; he fights to eliminate threats efficiently.
He views all shinobi as tools or prey.
Combat Style:
Uses his eyes to disable targets before they can act.
Uses bone-based chakra weapons for both offense and defense.
Can fight multiple high-level opponents simultaneously by disrupting their blood flow and chakra.

Impact on Naruto World
1. Konoha's Reaction:
Even now, the village that despised him is terrified. The once "trash ninja" has become a monster of flesh, bone, and blood magic.
Tsunade would see him as a living embodiment of everything wrong with her medical and moral principles.
Jiraiya would likely feel guilt but be powerless to stop him.
2. Uzumaki Clan:
Respects him for mastering the seals and forbidden techniques.
However, his body modification makes him inhuman, earning him fear and reverence alike.
3. Sasuke and Other Key Figures:
Sasuke would perceive him as a weaponized monster, potentially rivaling the Curse Mark in terror.
Naruto's humanity is gone, replaced by a calculating predator.
