Naruto sat alone in his apartment, still wearing his new forehead protector from earlier that day. The orange and black Omnitrix on his wrist caught the lamplight as he stared at it, remembering everything from his past life—Ben 10, the aliens, and most importantly, how this incredible device worked.
He raised his hand to touch the whisker marks on his cheeks—the permanent reminder of the Nine-Tails sealed within him. In his previous life, he'd known these marks were a result of Kurama's influence, but now, with this incredible device at his disposal, maybe there was something that could be done about them.
"Hey, Omnitrix," Naruto said, addressing the device directly. His reincarnated memories told him that the Omnitrix was far more than just a transformation tool—it was one of the most advanced pieces of technology in any universe. "Can you do anything about these whisker marks?"
The familiar orange glow emanated from the device's faceplate as it processed his query. When it spoke, its mechanical voice carried an almost analytical tone.
**"Analyzing query... The facial markings on the host are a direct result of the Nine-Tails' chakra influence during fetal development. Genetic scanning indicates permanent alteration to facial structure and pigmentation."**
Naruto's eyes widened. The Omnitrix continued without pause.
**"Relevant data: Nine-Tails genetic information has been successfully scanned and stored in the Omnitrix database. Additionally, the sealing space within the host has been transformed into a Proto-Primus cultivation environment to properly maintain and develop DNA samples. Due to insufficient energy reserves, the host currently has access to only limited alien transformations. As chakra levels increase, additional forms will become available."**
"Wait, what?" Naruto blinked in surprise. "You turned my seal into a planet?"
**"Affirmative. Proto-Primus planetary environment optimizes genetic sample preservation and development. Regarding the host's inquiry about facial markings: the Omnitrix can perform comprehensive genetic scanning and provide optimal solutions for genetic modification."**
Naruto's heart raced. The possibilities were incredible, but he also knew from his past life's knowledge that genetic tampering could be dangerous. Still, the Omnitrix was the most advanced device in the universe—if anything could do this safely, it would be this.
"Alright," he said, taking a deep breath. "Scan me. Let's see what you find."
**"Initiating comprehensive genetic scan..."**
A soft orange light enveloped Naruto's entire body, starting from the Omnitrix and spreading outward like gentle waves. He could feel a warm, tingling sensation as the device analyzed every cell, every strand of DNA, every genetic marker that made him who he was.
The scan lasted for several minutes before the light faded. Naruto waited anxiously for the results.
**"Scan complete. Analysis reveals multiple genetic influences within host DNA structure:"**
**"Primary: Nine-Tails genetic integration due to chakra exposure during fetal development. This has resulted in enhanced physical capabilities, accelerated healing, and distinctive facial markings."**
**"Secondary: Uzumaki clan genetic heritage, including enhanced longevity, massive chakra reserves, and strong life force."**
**"Tertiary: Trace amounts of Asura Otsutsuki DNA detected, along with residual consciousness fragments—note: consciousness fragments have been successfully removed during scan process."**
Naruto's jaw dropped. Even knowing about his past life and the series, hearing it confirmed so clinically was jarring. The Omnitrix continued its analysis.
**"Recommendation: Host may choose to maintain one primary bloodline and remove others, or alternatively, fuse compatible genetic materials with selected base bloodline. Warning: Genetic fusion is irreversible once completed."**
The choice was momentous. Naruto closed his eyes, thinking through his options. His Uzumaki heritage was part of his identity—his mother's legacy. The Nine-Tails' influence had given him power but also marked him as different. And the Asura DNA... that was interesting, but he wasn't sure he wanted that kind of cosmic responsibility.
"I want to fuse them," he said finally, opening his eyes with determination. "Combine the Nine-Tails genetic data and the Asura traces with my Uzumaki bloodline. Make it all work together as one unified heritage."
**"Confirmation required: Host wishes to proceed with triple bloodline fusion using Uzumaki genetics as the primary template?"**
"Yes. Do it."
**"Initiating genetic fusion process. Warning: Host will experience temporary discomfort during cellular restructuring. Process beginning in 3... 2... 1..."**
The transformation was unlike anything Naruto had ever experienced. It wasn't painful exactly, but he could feel every cell in his body shifting, changing, optimizing. Energy coursed through him—not just chakra, but something deeper, more fundamental. His DNA itself was being rewritten on the most basic level.
The whisker marks on his face tingled intensely before fading away entirely, leaving smooth, unmarked skin. His hair seemed to shimmer, golden blonde strands gaining subtle red highlights that caught the light like flickering flames. When he finally opened his eyes, he could feel they were different—his blue irises now radiated with an inner light, more vibrant and intense than before.
**"Genetic fusion complete. Host now possesses unified bloodline combining Uzumaki vitality and chakra capacity, Nine-Tails enhanced physical capabilities and regeneration, and Otsutsuki energy manipulation potential. Facial markings have been eliminated as requested. Additional benefit: Host genetic template now capable of incorporating and fusing with other bloodline genetics through Omnitrix scanning protocols."**
Naruto stood up, feeling the changes throughout his body. He was still himself, but... more. Stronger, more balanced. He ran his fingers over his smooth cheeks where the whisker marks had been, then caught sight of his reflection in a nearby mirror. The person staring back looked like him, but refined—as if someone had taken his features and perfected them.
"This is incredible," he whispered, clenching his fists and feeling the enhanced power flowing through him. "And you're saying I can scan and fuse with other bloodlines too?"
**"Affirmative. The Omnitrix can now scan compatible genetic materials from other individuals and integrate beneficial traits into the host's unified bloodline. However, each integration requires significant energy and careful analysis to prevent genetic incompatibility."**
A slow grin spread across Naruto's face. In his previous life, he'd always wondered what it would be like to have access to different bloodline abilities. The Sharingan, the Byakugan, Wood Release—now he had the potential to acquire and integrate them all, safely and permanently.
"This changes everything," he murmured, looking at the Omnitrix with new appreciation. Not only could he transform into powerful aliens, but he could also evolve his own human form beyond anything he'd dreamed possible.
The future had never looked brighter—or more filled with incredible possibilities.
