:naruto::naruto:
I believe Naruto has a secret kekkei genkai ability that is unknown to most everyone in the series. The following theory will attempt to prove this possiblity.
The first piece of evidence that supports my theory is a statement by Yamato. In chapter 299, entitled "The Source of Strength", Yamato makes the following observations about the Kyuubi's chakra:
Naruto Chapter 299 page 4
"The Kyuubi's chakra is acting like poison...entering through her wound. Something like that can't simply be healed by Sakura's level of healing jutsu. Which makes me even more surprised that Naruto is able to endure it."
Just a few pages later Yamato makes the following statement while speaking to Naruto:
Naruto chapter 299 page 11
"Your true strength isn't from Kyuubi's power, and the reason you're able to stand Kyuubi's chakra is because of the strength of your own chakra."
The above quote implies that Naruto's own chakra holds some special properties that normal people's chakra lack. Naruto, on his own can withstand the negative effects of the Kyuubi's chakra. This is a fact supported by the manga itself.
There are currently only two known kekkei genkai abilities that can control the Kyuubi's chakra. The first is the Mangekyou Sharingan as noted here & here. While unconfirmed, it is believed that Mangekyou Sharingan controls the Kyuubi through the use of genjutsu. It is quite obvious that Naruto has neither Mangekyou Sharingan or genjutsu strong enough to control the Kyuubi. The only other known kekkei genkai that possesses the ability to control Kyuubi chakra is the unnamed kekkei genkai ability of Hashirama Senju, the first hokage. Yamato, a clone of Hashirama demonstrates this ability here & here. He then explains why only he can use the ability here & here
It is my belief that the hidden kekkei genkai that Naruto possesses is the same one Hashirama Senju had. I also believe that Haku of the land of water also had this ability. The abilities of Haku & Hashirama were simply named after the elements they created by combining their elemental affinities. Hashirama's being Mokuton(earth+water) & Haku's being Hyouton(wind+water). I believe their abilities came from the same source. That source is the kekkei genkai(bloodline limit) of the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan is a complete unknown at this point, however we do known Naruto's mother was from the Uzumaki clan, as well as the Whirlpool Country. It is possible that the former Whirlpool Country was the home of the Uzumaki clan, however something happened to the Whirlpool Country. Since it is refered to as the "former" Whirlpool Country, it is safe to assume something happened to the country to cause it to no longer exist. I believe there are only two possible answers for what happened to the Whirlpool Country, it was either completely destroyed by some event/natural disaster or it was overthrown & renamed by the invaders. I believe it was the later. The Whirlpool Country was overthrown by a coup de'tat, led by none other than Madara Uchiha(I'll elaborate on this further later).
Kushina Uzumaki was from the ruling family of the Uzumaki clan, she was saved from certain death during the coup de'tat & taken to Konoha to be with her distant cousins the Senjus. Hashirama & his brother were the sons of an Uzumaki mother. It is the Uzumaki women that carry the kekkei genkai of the Uzumaki clan. Hashirama's mother married a man from the Senju of the Forest. It is my belief that Hashirama got his earth elemental affinity from his father & his water elemental affinity from his mother. This would also explain why Nidaime was so skilled with his water elemental jutsu. The affinity for water is most likely pasted down through the Uzumaki genes in a similiar manner to the fire elemental affinity of the Uchiha clan. Kushina would have known of the Uzumaki's clan kekkei genkai & she would have been able to tell Minato that their child would have had the possiblity of containing the Kyuubi.
There are two things that further reinforce my belief. Kishimoto often uses symbolism to hint at certain plot points. I believe the following instances of symbolism point to a connection betweeb Naruto & Hashirama Senju:
Naruto chapter 1 page 1
Naruto has just defaced the Hokage monument, he even signs his work. The funny thing about this is where Naruto signs his name. Naruto's name appears on Hashirama, the Shodaime Hokage & Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage. One of these men has already been revealed to be Naruto's father, could the other also have a blood relation to Naruto?
Also, to prove that what Naruto places on the Hokage monument is indeed the signature of his last name Uzumaki, I offer this, Naruto's signature on the summoning pact he made with Gamabunta. Naruto signs the name Uzumaki with the same spiral he wears as a clan symbol. The spiral is the symbol of the Uzumaki clan.
To further show the connection between Hashirama & Naruto, we simply need to look at the uniform of all Konoha ninja. The uniform has the spiral symbol of the Uzumaki. It is my belief that Hashirama did this to pay tribute to the source of his kekkei genaki, the same kekkei genkai that allowed him to defeat Madara Uchiha. During his battle with Madara Uchiha, Hashirama wore the uniform of the Senju clan, however after that event the Senju clan's uniform was no longer used.
Then there is that defining moment at the Valley of the End, were Naruto stood on Hashirama's head & Sasuke on Madara's head, here. There is also the fact that Naruto is in possession of Hashirama's chakra crystal necklace. The very necklace that Hashirama used to control bijuu, why give Naruto this necklace if he will never make use of it?
Now, I also believe that Haku share the same blood as Naruto & Hashirama. I believe that the current Water Country was once the former Whirlpool Country. Madara Uchiha after his defeat at the hands of Hashirama, took the opportunity his apparent death gave him to leave the land of fire. Madara Uchiha went in search of the source of Hashirama's power & he found it. Madara Uchiha learned that Hashirama was a descended of the Uzumaki clan & that the Uzumaki clan had a special kekkei genkai. Madara wanted to destory the source of Hashirama Senju's power, so he started a rebellion against the Uzumaki clan, rulers of the then Whirlpool Country. The civil war lead to the death of many Uzumaki clan members as well as other clans with kekkei genkai abilities from the Whirlpool Country. Madara's side won & the Whirlpool Country was renamed the Water Country. Madara became the Mizukage. Those with kekkei genkai abilities were persecuted, those who were still alive went into hiding.
Haku's mother was one of the Uzumaki clan members that survived, she fled to the snowy northern region of the now Water Country. Their she met a man & got married. She eventually gave birth to Haku, of course you know what happened next. Haku discovered the Uzumaki clan's kekkei genkai on his own. His father then killed his mother & Haku killed his father & the other villagers in self defense. Those with kekkei genkai abilities were considered the cause of the civil war, so they were always hunted & killed. Haku met Zabuza & they begin their journey together. Haku combined his water elemental chakra & wind elemental chakra to create Hyouton(the ice element). Haku used his elemental affinities to create Hyouton because he was born in a snowy region of the Water Country & it was natural for him to create ice.
In conclusion, it is my belief that Naruto possesses the same kekkei genkai as Hashirama Senju & Haku of the Water Country. Naruto's second elemental affinity will be water & he will use his kekkei genkai to combine his wind & water elemental affinities to create a rain/storm element. Since Naruto is from a warmer climate this will be more natural for him, but he might also be able to create Hyouton. Naruto will be able to control the rain itself. He will also be able to create whirlpools & tidalwaves as well. Naruto may also discover a third elemental affinity for earth, allowing him to use Mokuton as well. Another thing is since Naruto possesses Shodaime's chakra crystal necklace, he will receive the same benefit that Shodaime did. Naruto will be able to bend Bijuu's & their chakra to his will. The only thing keeping Naruto's kekkei genkai from manifesting is the Kyuubi. Naruto will eventually lose the Kyuubi, but I'll save that for another theory.
The follow up post:
Okay, to add alittle more support to my theory I'll add the following:
Naruto & Sasuke are meant to represent the concept of yin-yang to the reader.
"The concept of yin and yang describes two opposing and, at the same time, complementary (completing) aspects of any one phenomenon (object or process) or comparison of any two phenomena. They are universal standards of quality at the basis of the systems of correspondence seen in most branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy."
This chapter cover shows Naruto & Sasuke representing the yin-yang concept: Chapter 195: Strategy
Two Qualities
Yin (陰 or 阴 "shady place, north slope, south bank (river); cloudy, overcast"; Japanese: in or on; Korean: 음, Vietnamese: ?m) qualities are characterized as soft, slow, substantial, water, cold, conserving, tranquil, gentle, and corresponds to the night.
Yang (陽 or 阳 "sunny place, south slope, north bank (river), sunshine"; Japanese: yō; Korean: 양, Vietnamese: dương) qualities are characterized as hot, fire, restless, hard, dry, excitement, non-substantial, rapidity, and corresponds to the day.
Sasuke is the Yin, Naruto is the Yang. They complete each other, while at the same time being opposing forces.
An example of this would/will be their elemental affinities, I can 100% guarantee that Naruto will get another elemental affinity.
Sasuke's elemental affinities are fire and lighting, while Naruto's are wind and water(just go along with me on this, it's only a matter of time). Sasuke's fire element overpowers Naruto's wind & his lighting element overpowers Naruto's water. However, the reverse is also true, Naruto's wind element defeats Sasuke's lighting & his water element would defeat Sasuke's fire. Their elemental affinities are perfect opposites.
However, even though their elements are perfect opposites, they also enhance each other. Naruto & Sasuke can combine fire & wind to create powerful flames. They can also combine lighting & water for a powerful elemental combination attack. This connection is even alluded to in Naruto Chapter 333 pg. 11, pg. 12. and pg. 13. The chapter is entitled "Affinities" and Yamato explains the different relationships between elemental affinities. Naruto even says that he has the right elemental affinity for Sasuke. Naruto says "I meant "Wind" is the only thing that can keep a "Fire" from dying away and turn it into an even bigger power."
Now that it has been established that Sasuke and Naruto represent the yin-yang, I can move on to describing the Four Laws that define yin-yang.
Four Laws of Yin-yang
Yin-yang are Opposing
Yin and yang describe the polar effects of phenomena. In viewing any one phenomenon (or the comparison of two phenomena), yin and yang describe the opposing qualities inherent in it. For instance, winter and summer would be the yin and yang, respectively, of the year.
Yin-yang are Mutually Rooted
Yin and yang are two complementary qualities. That is to say, the yin and the yang aspect of any one phenomenon will, when put together, form the entire phenomenon. Yin-yang is a philosophy of duality. This is the reason the Chinese word has no "and" between yin and yang - the term always expresses the two making up the one. In the example above, winter plus summer makes up the whole year.
Yin-yang Mutually Transform
The maximum effect of one quality will be followed by the transition toward the opposing quality. In other words, once the maximum Yang aspect has manifest, such as the long days of summer, this will be followed by the transition toward the Yin aspect, with the shortening of the days as winter approaches.
Yin-yang Mutually Wax and Wane
The Yin and yang aspects are in dynamic equilibrium. As one aspect declines, the other increases to an equal degree. For instance, in the cycle of the year, the long days of summer gradually shorten and the nights gradually lengthen as winter approaches. Throughout the process, however, the length of each day is constant (the equilibrium) while it is only the relative length of light and darkness that changes (is dynamic)
All four of the laws of yin-yang apply to Sasuke & Naruto's relationship. The two most important laws are that "Yin-yang mutually transform" and that "Yin-yang mutually wax and wane".
What the above laws mean when applied to Naruto & Sasuke is that when one gains or loses power, so does the other. However, as the fourth law states, when one waxes the other wanes, meaning When Naruto gains power Sasuke will appear to lose power, and vice-versa. If you look carefully at Naruto & Sasukes's developement. You will see that the four laws hold true to this.
Okay, why is all of the above important? It is because Sasuke lost his equivalent to Naruto's Kyuubi. This means Naruto must lose the Kyuubi. However, Naruto must also gain a kekkei genkai to match Sasuke's Sharingan. There is only one kekkei genkai that would serve the purposes of countering Sharingan. That kekkei genkai is the same one that Hashirama Senju had. Sasuke and Naruto are the perfect representation of the concept of yin-yang.
To further prove my point, I will discuss Naruto & Sasuke's relationships to their symbolic counterparts Fujin & Raijin. Fujin & Raijin were once evil demons who opposed Buddha(I have stated many times before that Buddha & Buddhism represent Konoha/Senju), however they were captured by Buddha's army and reformed. Raijin and Fujin have been fighting for Buddha's army ever since, they were even added to the 28 legions of the Senju Kannon. The 28 deities protect those that believe in the Senju Kannon. It's also worth noting that the Senju Kannon opposes "The Six Paths" or as Pein likes to call them, "The Six Paths of Pain" The following link supports the above: link
Naruto & Sasuke both must let go of their evil demons & fight for the Senju Kannon(Konoha), which is also the "Will of Fire", as well as the "True King". Sasuke has already lost the evil demon that plagued him(Orochimaru), he only needs to be redeemed by Naruto to complete his transformation. This transformation will occur when Naruto dies during the Kyuubi's extraction, Naruto's death being his own transformation.
Note: Their is in fact still more that supports my theory. However, as I said before, there is simply too many interconnected theories for me to try & explain it all. I will give you a hint to what my next support reference will deal with though, check out my post about dragons in my "Henge" post in the folklore thread.

I dont know but it has to be, read chapter 370 it reveals it in away. If "that" jutsu is not the shiki fujjin its the Hakke seal jutsu. the Hakke seal is what is on Naruto's stomach, "that" jutsu may very well be a Jutsu that shows Naruto how to control the key. "That" jutsu has to deal with the key jutsu.
Chapter 370 reveals alot about Naruto, Minato, Jiryia, and the key frog.
I believe the connection between Naruto and Hashirama Senju is only a coincidence used to emphasize that Naruto will one day be a honorable and strong ninja. Nothing more than that.
If Naruto had a Kekkei Genkai, it'd probably be his long lasting energy from the strength of his own chakra. A hokage like Minato generally has a large amount of chakra in order to use powerful techniques.
"that" jutsu in 370 and "that" jutsu in the later chapter where naruto is sage training a secret jutsu are def. 2 different jutsus. i think narutos kkg will end up being somthing like a hurrican as the title suggests.. or maybe even typhoon/wirlpools.. whatever it may be it will be water+wind.
mix lightning and wind and you get
thundergod, timespace jutsu
just a thought.
You are right, but my point is "that" jutsu Jiriaya told Naruto not to use is the same one Jiriaya spoke about in chapter 370. Also, its pretty obvious that Naruto will learn the water element most likely from Yamato.
naruto better learn water elements or he is going to get roasted again, like in the final valley fight:naruto:
