The Perfect Ninja
I am power
I am strength
I cannot be defeated
I have faced off against against men so powerful they could hardly be classed as men anymore and have struck them down without mercy.
I have fought army's of ninja so large in number that you could not even see an end to their number and yet I was the only one on the field's of battle to ever leave them.
I have brought demons to their knees before I even became an shinobi.
I am the strongest being that is, was or ever will be.
I am Naruto.
I am the ultimate ninja.
Here is my story.
20 years before Naruto's birth
54 miles north by north west of Konohakagure.
In a small hidden cave approximately 4 miles underground an old man man sits at a table furiously scribbling down notes. He is surrounded by more paperwork than even a Kage is made to sign in a month. He wears a long white lab coat which is tattered and dirty at the bottom. He was wearing what could only be described as 'Kill me now wear', he had on a pair of brown slacks which was held by a neon red sash and was tucked into a pair of white pointy boots with orange soles. He wore a black waistcoat with white trim, it was buttoned up with a bright red stone in the center, his undershirt was the most outrageous part as is was bright orange and pinstriped, the parts that covered his arms puffed out in a horrendous fashion to his elbows where it became white sleeves. Finally atop his head of long grey hair was a large cylindrical hat with a leaf symbol on it.
This was Dr Gero, a scientist of Konohakagure's ninja research and development. Or at least he was before he was until that fool Sandaime had him removed for his proposals for the improvment of the quality of the villages ninja.
'Bah that fool has no idea of what he has thrown away. Well if he won't see the benefit's of an enhanced ninja then I will just show him.'
He had devoted the past 40 years of his time into creating a better ninja. Only to have his true genius cut off at every turn. Deemed to 'unstable' for anything of importance he was stuck in the lowest level department doing the most mediocre of projects. Like trying to make a better food pill and a chakra weight hold more chakra to become heavier, things that any half decent Chunin could have done. The only halfway challenging thing he had used his incredible mind for was when they had finally given him chance in their 'infinite charity' to let him reverse engineering chakra armour from hidden snow, only for the Hokage and majority of clan heads to see it as a crutch should the armour break. If he even mentioned his artificial secondary chakra coil system, or the man made bloodlines he was sentenced to spend the rest of the day with Morino Ibito, just because the young Kage didn't want to risk a few measly civilians lives. The FOOL, didn't he realise that the greatest discovery's were made when people were willing to do what needed to be done. From Takikagure he had heard of a doctor who had made himself immortal by taking the hearts from others, and whether they care to admit it or not several of the jutsu created by missing-nin right from the leaf were adopted by the village.
Losing his job no matter how much he hated it had been the final straw and he had left the village without much trouble, the biggest flaw about a ninja village was that if you weren't a ninja then you were hardly considered dangerous despite your 'delusions of grandaur'. That would prove to be one of the biggest mistakes. Now he was off the old fools rader he could finally put all his intellect to use and finally begin work on his greatest project.
Artificial ninja.
Artifical ninja 002 - Full Metal Jacket
-Science Journal entry 354 -
After numerous prototypes and the initial failure of 001- the first full metal jacket, I have successfully created my first fully functional artificial ninja, complete with an ability of my own design. Test runs shall be commencing once 002 reaches the fire/ rice country border patrol.-
=Flashback=
The rice county border patrol was considered to be one of the sweetest long term missions among the Chunin, no one truly dangerous goes through it, in fact people hardly ever passed through it at all except for some merchants from rice, the ninja arrive for the job, spend their month sitting around most of the time with a couple of them going a stroll every now and again, then they come home to receive A-ranked payment or doing virtually nothing.
That of course in the mission briefing no one ever seems to mention being attacked by an 9 foot metal man
Ninja scattered to avoid huge raking steel claw from cutting them to ribbons as they shoot their attacker with an almost constant barrage of fire jutsu.
The attacker in question appeared to be almost completely formless, A giant covered from head to toe by several inches of what appeared to be liquid chrome steel, leaving him looking like an anthropomorphic blob. It kept charging at the shinobi faster than anything that heavy should have a right to, forming sharp claws from its hands and tearing up anything that got caught in them, trees, rocks, and several on duty border guards before they even realised they were being attacked.
--002 is a rousing success as being the first fully operational artifical ninja I have created. my previous attempt to create the sameabiity in 001 left me with. well less success than it I would like.--
The Konoha ninja managed to lead it to the middle of a large grassy clearing where they could best use the agility which this creature for all it's speed seemed to lack. The monster burst through the woods and lunged at them while bearing it's claws. One nin flashed through a set of seals while the others went through different ones.
"Lightning Style: Lightning ball jutsu"
The attack struck the dead center of the chest an, causing it to convulse in mid air as the jutsu managed to pass through it's armoured hide and fry the being inside. It dropped to the ground like a stone as the armour seemed to just drip off of it like molasses. With the armour gone the 'man' if you could call it that was revealed to the world. He was still a giant missing only about a foot of it's previous height. But this time they could see the sheer mountain of muscle on him that the smooth formless metal had hid before. He was covered from head to toe in an all black version of that body suit the Gou-ken users back in the village wear minus the weights and ninja accessory's. It's face was covered except for an opening in the mask which oddly enough was for the mouth, strangely it also was wearing a pair of sunglasses despite the fact their were no holes for the eyes and nothing for them to latch onto.
As it staggered to stand up the other ninja sensed their opportunity and brought their hands into the final seals for the jutsu they had been holding.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" cried out 10 ninja as they lauched the deadly balls of flame at the target which was...throwing up?
As the flames were about to hit their target the giant stood to full height and brought it's head back slightly before lurching forward and opening it's mouth to make a most disgusting 'BLEEECCHH' sound. The fireballs made contact with the vomit causing a small explosion of ash to come up up. A mere second later something hit the ground with an audible thud. When the small amount of airborne ash disappeared the border patrol were shocked to see a large formless pile of hardened steel on the ground with several blackened marks on it. But they were even more shocked to see their opponent 'growing' new armour for himself, a large stream of a silvery saliva literally flowing out of his mouth and reaching out over him in all direction's. Once covered the substance began to grow thicker until he became the 9 foot tall steel beast once again.
-- 002 was named full metal jacket for the ability I created for it. The ability to rapidly produced a number of enzymes which when combined become a substance with the molecular composition of steel which can then be ejected from the special mechanical production glands located in the mouth, by applying chakra it can freely control the form of the steel into objects and armour. The only unavoidable flaw in the design is that in order to keep the substance liquid the unit must constantly apply a large percentage of chakra to keep it dense yet fluid and flexible to avoid both the armour slipping off from too little chakra being used or using too much chakra all at once and risk being crushed be the instantly hardening metal.--
Wordlessly it charged. It's hands now replaced with steel sabre''s
--off course unlike 001, 002 possessing mechanical chakra coils to allow for accelerated chakra regeneration makes the problem almost moot.--
Three days later their replacement's would find the remains of the men scattered over a 2 mile radius. No heads were found.
Android 008 - Yajuu ( translates to 'Monster' )
-Science Journal entry 1429 - After several years of studying the brains those border patrol ninja that 002 was kind enough to bring back I believe I have finally been able to create the first artificial Intelligence. Previous attempts of using the data acquired have been less than successful.
-Flashback-
Android 003 - Mega jacket.
'Mabye improving the production glands was a bad idea.'
Dr Gero stared at the machine that had been puking liquid metal onto the floor of his cave for the past 10 minutes. Apparently the improved version of 002 complete with a the most damaged of the scavenged brains found it's bloodline quite repulsive to the degree he was throwing up. Which made him use his bloodline which sickened him and made him throw up even more which...well you get the idea.
On the plus side he was going to get a solid steel floor with virtually no effort on his part. That is if it stops in the next 5 minutes.
30 minutes later. It's best not to say.
-flashback 2-
Android 005 - Ultimate Ninja.
Gero was staring in front of his greatest creation yet as it came on-line. Though as featureless and un-unique in appearance as his previous works Gero looked upon it as Jiraiya would a harem of Tsunades in their birthday suit's. Underneath it's standard black body suit was a being without flaw. An inbuilt gyroscope for perfect balance, a specially wired artificial chakra system that gave control beyond that of even the greatest ninjutsu master which traced back to an inner coil that produced as much chakra as a demon container, data on over a thousand jutsu crammed into the logistic difference engine (1) he would use as a brain which was enhanced by the patterns of the Nara brain he had used for the experiment. All of this and more in what could only be described as 'perfection'. Now he knew he had the weapon he needed to show those fools in the village how wrong about him they were.
"GO my creation, go to the village hidden in the leaves and show them what 'Ultimate perfection' IS!"
The ninja machine stood silent for a few moments until..."No."
"GO, GO AND...wait WHAT!! WHY!!"
The fake person shrugged "I don't feel like it, it sounds like to much of a drag."
The mad genius had a very large tick in his eye. "A DRAG!! YOU INGRATE I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING, LIFE, ULTIMATE POWER, PERFECT SKILL. 'I' MADE YOU TO BE THE ULTIMATE NINJA! I AM YOUR MASTER SO YOU WILL OBEY ME NNNOOOWWW!!" Gero was foaming at the mouth near the end. He seemed to perk up when his creation took on a thoughtful look.
"Mmm If I'm already the ultimate ninja, then logically going out and proving it would seem kind of redundant wouldn't it."
His creator now sported the 'I f&%ked up again look'.
"Someone who's already a Kage doesn't need to go out and prove he's a Kage does he, so if the purpose of the exercises was to get the title of ultimate ninja when I already have that title then it seems kinda pointless doesn't it."
Ignoring the good doctors reply he stretched a little while yawning. Turning towards the lab exit.
"Now if you need me to do something that isn't an illogical waste of time I calculate that watching cloud's for awhile will be most enjoyable."
Gero could only stare after his greatest work as it made it's choice to be just like anyone Nara, real or not.
A worthless slacker.
-Flashback 3-
Android 007 - Mono
Okay know he saw the problem. He put to much brain power in his previous works. All of them over analysing everything to be any use to him at all, so know he's developed one with brain power, but only enough to increase it's abilities while making it so simple minded to be anything but loyal to him.
"YOU STUPID MACHINE NOT AGAIN!!"
BOOMM!!
"Ow."
emphasis on simple minded
A slightly Akimichi looking green skinned man with no nose and huge bugged out eyes wearing a black body suit was sitting in the middle of the floor slapping his hands together limply, like a toddler with trying to copy a ninjutsu they just saw. The only difference was that those children don't usually have conscious control over their chakra and their fore don't usually wind up with disastrous results. Case in point the simple clone jutsu he'd just used somehow resulted in ' Magma Style: Molten Eruption jutsu'. The good news was that it was proof that his research into bloodlines. Particularly elemental combination ones was coming along quite nicely. The bad news was he may have underpowered the stupid things brain a tad to much resulting in it's continued use of the destructive lava based techniques since it liked the 'pretty glowy colours' of the hot rock when it burst out of the ground. Hence the name Mono as in a one tracked mind.
Gero just sighed again as his screaming at the childlike monster continued to destroy his lab like so many of his predecessors had. He pulled a remote out of his odd coat pocket and pressed the big red button.
This made the section of floor underneath Mono to collapse and caused him to fall down into the hole where along and winding slide would then take him to a large diamond tipped grinding device he'd installed 2 experiments ago.
A loud squealing that echoed out of the hole for a second informed him that he had one less pain to worry at least.
'Now if I could only get rid of that Lazy NaraDriod' Thought a disgruntled Gero
-End flashback- yes I actually do know when to stop with the flashing back-
Wires were attached all over Yajuu as his creator began the final start up sequence. It's lifeless body standing on a pad that in mere moments would energise the creature and begin its life. From a safe distance away from ground zero and behind a large wall the not all that good doctor began the final start up for his latest and hopefully functional masterpiece. If this android was able to function with the brainwaves built in without the data corruption of his last six works then he'd be able to apply those same brainwaves to future projects without having to go out and get a 'real' brain to put into a new skull.
Carefully he pushed a few buttons and turned diles to achieve the exact electrical output he needed, then crossing his fingers he pulled the big switch and prayed like a man of science shouldn't.
The results were almost instant, energy passed along the wires and shoot into the monster. The disk lit up and blue rings of light began to form from the pad as they quickly ascended to a similar pad in the ceiling which was also emitting rings of energy only a green colour. First nothing happened, the monster did not move. However as the rings began to pick up speed and blur into each other the doctor was rewarded with the sight of a twitching hand, smiling madly he turned up the intensity.
The rings now became almost a pillar of translucent turquoise energy as it went about the task of quickly converting this external energy into a facsimile of chakra long enough for it to energise the inner coils. The wires trailing along the floor were actually beginning to burn from the sheer amount of power flowing through them. The monster really began to twitch,joints jolting around like someone who hasn't moved in day's. Teeth being bared and closed eyes screwing up as though it was in pain which Gero knew was impossible because he never installed anything that could work as a nervous system. As if it realised the source of its discomfort the creature reached up and yanked the wire suction cupped to its head and pulled it right out of the wall.
"No you stupid thing, that's important."Gero said through clenched teeth. If all the power cables were removed before he was able to start up the artificial inner coils then his android wouldn't be able to power itself. What good was a killing machine if it had to be plugged into a wall. Desperate to finish he cranked up the power to maximum.
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!" Was the response as millions of volts of electricity passed through it. Dropping to one knee it screamed towards the heavens and let loose an almighty spherical blast of electrical chakra.
"WHA-BOOM"
The disc it was standing on was blown underneath it as was the one above. Th floor was scorched for the entire 30 meter safety zone and even the wall the scientist was standing behind was nearly melted the entire way through, a few more seconds and he would've been dead. He slowly made his way around the wall careful not to touch it in case of shock. He peered at his creation who had already locked onto him and was making its way over.
He realised he shouldn't be afraid of his handiwork, especially with the last batch being anything but what he desired. Of course that didn't mean he hadn't gotten it right for once and now the Frankenstein like monster in the black body suit was going to make him pay for hurting it.
Cautiously he stepped back and tripped over his feet as he stared up at the aptly named Yajuu which now stood directly in front of him and was reaching out with its right hand for him. He screwed up his eyes and lamented about his life. 'This is just great. I finally make one that'll kill somebody and that somebody will be me'.
His worrys dissipeared after a few moments when he relised he was being lifted to his feet by his hands. Opening his eyes he looked up to see Yajuu kneeling down on one knee with his head bowed.
"What is your command doctor."
He couldn't believe it.
It...worked.
It...worked.
It worked
It worked
IT ACTUALLY FU&KNG WORKED!!
But just to be safe.
"pick up your feet."
"Would that not cause me to fall doctor." Rather than be annoyed this pleased the mad genius. It showed him Yajuu was using his cybernetic brain unlike the other works, now to see if he was loyal.
"Regardless, I told you to pick up your feet and I command you to do it now." He said a little more demanding.
Yajuu said nothing further as it merely grabbed it's ankles and pulled which lifted his feet and caused a small tremors as the machine man hit the floor.
Gero was teary eyed. Finally he had done it, a superior warrior that not only had the power and loyalty, but the differential logic engine to be far superior in battle to any mindless ninja he'd ever made.
For once in his life Gero felt content as a truely challanging job done well.
-Science Journal entry 1431 -
I've finally done it, the truly ultimate ninja. Superior in every way to any flesh and blood man. Stronger, faster, nigh invulnerable and what's more important completely loyal without sacrificing intelligence. The only downside is this slightly bulky body and monster like facial appearance however there are other ninja in the world far more unusual in appearance.
Testing his ability I am pleased to see that his artificial bloodline is working to satisfaction, being able to manipulate lightning chakra without need for hand signs. So far all testing shows he is able to create field of electricity around himself as a shield against any attack, generate it throughout his being to make his touch most shocking, but whats most surprising his the ability to manipulate his personnel electromagnetic field to the point were he can fly. A feature I simply MUST have for my next series of androids.
At this moment I am trying to decide what exactly to do with Yajuu. I could send him into Konoha but now that I think abut it in with a calm mind what would that honestly accomplish, he goes in kills a few ninja, they attack in huge numbers then backtrack his path back to me, then again whats the use in building a monster if it's just going to take up lab space. No what I need to do is send him somewhere where he can be useful. Somewhere where he can encounter a challenge for his power.
Perhaps I could send him to work for one of Konoha's enemy's. I here the land of stone isn't to fond of them. He he HA HA HA!!
-Science Journal entry 1495 -
NAMIKAZE MINATO MUST DIE!!
A stupid little 14 year old brat has somehow corrupted 8's original programming. Somehow my beast got it into its head that it has wants, and one of these wants it not to kill anyone. Ingrate, I give it life, I give it power. I wait months for he chance to watch it in action and it wimps out as its about to land the killing blow.
Note to self. Build all future androids with self destuct devices in case they ever have even a single independent thought.
In the mean time I think I'll watch out for this kid, this Namikaze Minato. See how he has the ability to turn a mindless monster with killing built into its brain into a peace loving dolt.
Yes, watch out Namikaze Minato. I'll be watching you.
(A/N: Look to be perfectly honest this is just a prologue and I'm not gonna go over each android in a series of flashbacks. So lets just cut to the chase.)
(A/N 2: Oh and if your asking full metal jacket was another name for 'Sergeant Metallic' in the anime.)
(A/N 3: For the fight between Yajuu and Minato just watch the fight between android 8 and goku in the dragonball movie.)
Science Journal entry- 1876
I will have my revenge. And Minato is going to help me have it.
For years I have been sending my machinations against Konoha without giving them even the slightest idea who sent them. 9,10,11,12 all of them destroyed. No matter what I threw at them. This insolent child and his fellow leaf bastards always manage to defeat them. So I began to wonder. How is it that a ninja of mere flesh and blood can defeat one with a mind, body and skill are far superior to any mortals, what makes this boy far superior to my perfect killing machines.
The answer did not just it me like a bolt of lightning but I feel like an imbecile it didn't. It was the one major flaw in building any machine. The flaw that no matter how well you build it. No matter how ahead of it's time it is and truly intelligent I make it appear this flaw will be there from it's completion.
A machine on its own cannot adapt or change. A human can.
No matter how well I build my machines. No matter how much more processing power the brain scans added to their ability to analyze and compute data in the end their ability is still limited to the by the routines set in their ridged logical computer minds and their strength to the hydraulics in their joints. A human being on the other hand is not held back by an exact number. They want to be stronger then they can get stronger. They come across a situation that old tactics cannot deal with then they can think up new ways to deal with it rather than continue failing with what they already know. They are unpredictable creature's of illogical action who's and that is exactly why my machines cannot beat them.
Of course he could just upgrade his ninjas or create a brand new one that. However as much as Gero hated to admit it but creating his androids isn't exactly as simple as screwing nuts and bolts together. He needed to buy the large amounts of the necessary metals from over a dozen different sources in small amounts so not to arose suspicion. Then came the refined oils to make for the wires, fake skin and even those tasteless yet practical jumpsuits. Then after all that it still needed at the very least to cobble together a Genin level ninja it took about 6 months. Even an upgrade took a minimum of 3 months with all the replacement of parts and what was essentially replacing a one brain with another one exactly the same only with one extra brain cell.
Long story short it was just not worth it to build a new ninja or even upgrade an existing one. And it wasn't like I could just grow one out of nothing.
When I had that thought a few nights ago I actually dropped the hammer I had been holding. I'm lying in bed with my foot in a cast right now.
It's a stroke of genius. A machine of steel and circuits couldn't grow. But a machine of flesh and blood has limitless potential on it's own.
The theory of the process would be simple. Most of the work on genetic engineering was already done by another Konoha cientist, the great snake Sannin himself. It would be a simple matter to use his notes to steer his work in a much more radical direction than altering existing life, to create life from the ground up.
The most difficult part of the plan naturally would be acquiring the genetic material strong enough to use for the experiment.I most certainly couldn't use mind. I couldn't very well use mine alone, I may be a genius but all the members of my gene pool are notorious for being physically inadequate. In order to make up for this I would need to include the DNA of a powerful individual.
'And Ill get it easily with these little beuties'. Gero thought as he lay in his bed while finishing the last few circuits on a tiny robot which along with the 7 others on the tray looked like a tiny insect.
Science Journal entry- 4260
I've got it. The DNA of Namikaze Minato is mine.
Rather I've had it for several months but I'd rather have not seen the result of using it in the incubation tanks. Performing some tests before I use Minato's genes I used some of my own and other genes from those that my bug droids also took, I really should have been more specific than about the target than just by reading the size of the chakra signature, who knew that the Shika Nara had a bigger chakra level than the Fourth Hokage. The results have been less than savoury. At best what I've had is a near formless blob of flesh that spews blood every 10 seconds, at worst I get a tank full of bezoars.
The genes are fine, the theory is sound but unfortunatly the conditions I'm replicating or creation and incubation of life are not right. The genes are not replicating the way I want them to and it's resulting in a horrible failure of a clone. Who new it would be so difficult to replicate one man.
One man, one man that IT!
In nature a human being is not just made up of the genes of one person. They have two, genes from the parents blend into one being. I don't need to create a clone of my mortal enemy, I need to create a whole new life superior to my enemy. Made up with the DNA of the strongest, smartest, greatest humans alive. Embodying each of their great traits in one being.
The perfect being.
Science Journal entry- 4275
It was a success. The numerous genes I used blended together into a perfect formula. It took weeks of planning and a lot more bug-droids but I managed to collect the DNA of some of the greatest ninja in the world. In this cylinder is the combined life formula of 50 ninja. Along with a few extra DNA strands from sources I'd rather not say but are sure to come in handy.
Unfortunately my incubation chambers have been proven to be less than effective in their designed task.
Good thing I don't plan on using them.
Konoha ninja hospital.
She rubbed her stomach where the doctor had given her the injection.
"Are you sure this will improve my chances doctor, my husband's starting to think theirs something wrong with him." The doctor gave her a warm smile.
"My dear I guarentee with 100% certainty that you will be pregnant within the next few month's. Trust me I made it myself." The young woman sitting on the table nodded her head and hugged. He chuckled under his breath and patted her on the shoulder.
"No thanks needed my dear it was my pleasure. Now run along I do have other patients today. It wouldn't do for a man my age to be seen like this with the Hokages wife."
Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina let the moustached man go and headed towards the door. As she opened it a crack she turned around.
"By the way. Could you tell doctor Yamimoto I said get well soon.I don't want him getting worried about his patients health with he himself being sick and all."
"I'll do that. Now run along."
As the door closed in font of him his warm demeanour melted away and he gained a maniacal smirk. He turned towards the medicine cupboard in the office to reveal a man in a doctors coat stare up at him with blank lifeless eyes. The impostor doctor stood him up, reaching into his pocket he pulled out tiny dart. Stabbing it into the mans arm he sat him down at the desk at watched as normal breathing functions returned to the near dead medic. Satisfied he peeled off the spare doctor coat and revealed rather ordinary civilian clothing. He left the office just as he could hear the real doctor stir. As he headed for the exit of the hospital he gained a sense of satisfaction.
I told you I would have my perfect revenge. And Namikaze Minato is going to be its father.
(1) The logistic difference engine is my attempt to make the brain of the android ninja. It works pretty much like a normal brain analyzing situations and acting accordingly. The difference I'm trying to stress is that these won't factor in a scenario that hasn't been included in their memory's. They cannot be unpredictable or surprising, both of which is crucial to being a ninja. The brain wave patterns we've downloaded from the original brains increase they're capacity for analysing and acting on it but they do not give the machines any actual intelligence. The Naradroid logically concluded that it's prime purpose to be the ultimate ninja was already accomplished on itsF activation. Mono was meant to be simple minded enough to do at's it was told and only meant for simple tasks. i.e destroy, kill,etc. Android 8 due to the circumstances of its rushed and flawed activation had it's data corrupted and it was capable of cobbling ghost code (data that appears in a system that is not a part of the original programme). like the Naradroid in that it didn't see any logical reason to fight.
