Since Naruto is following in the steps of DBZ I thought I'd might share my short, picture-less, theory.
"Books with no pictures are for intellectual adults"(Professor Reflection, Adult Reads 2014, Reflection, Itachi et.al)
Lets start with everyone's favorite anime series, Dragon Ball. In Dragon Ball, Goku was not able to use Super Saiyan powers until he became a father and adult of Gohan. Goku was the first saiyan that the earth has ever seen. His son Gohan was able to unlock super saiyan at the age of a teen and Goten at an even younger age. As the line of descent goes down further and the saiyan powers are diluted, Goku's grandchildren are even able to use super saiyan.
Now I know what you're thinking: "Lord Reflection, super saiyan powers are inherited by blood and toad sage powers are trained by toads"--- My rebuttal to that is, they both require training. Plus, Naruto, unlike Bolt would not be able to unlock nature energy in part 1 because he was a bit of thick-headed yank. Bolt also has hyuuga blood and will be able to combine nature energy with byakugan, thus making him a force to reckoned with and would be able to defeat Pain with relative ease at genin level.
This is obvious as children usually show that they can match or even become stronger than their parents at an early age.
