It was a classic day for any ninja returning from a mission that had them cross the boarders or other nations to escort some people who hired them for their journey. It was a simple mission even for those of lower ranks which was why they had taken the mission. As they were on their way back to their own nation just almost to the boarder of the fire country did they take a break. Just sitting under the calm sky was nice and peaceful for a change of pace.
It was dusk when they started making dinner over the fire letting the fish roast to perfection. Everything was normal as the blonde haired boy who wore a brightly coloured jumpsuit kept trying to get his team to laugh and have a good time. All the while the other group members were quiet after running such a long distance and never even tried to keep up with their blonde teammate's energy levels as they seemed to be high in the sky as usual.
Several leaf ninja had stalked this team as the were on their return trip home from their escort mission as they had their own mission from their boss. They kept their distance as hey knew their team leader was none other the Kakashi Hatake aka the copy cat ninja and had held such a high title in their village. They would be smart and plan a way to get the demon vessel out of the camp with out anyone noticing so they had to lay in wait. Things were slow as the ninja waited for the darkest part of the night sky above them, it was time and so the smoke bombed the camp which gave them more cover just incase they were on guard.
One went into a tent while the other stood guard as they found the blonde demon vessel sleeping as the ninja smirked underneath his mask at how easy this was. He took out a syringe and administered a body numbing agent that would render the victim paralyzed from where they set it in and below. Which he inject the serum at the base of the neck but with some difficulty as the kid tried to squirm out of his grasp which ended up making him press down full force until the serum started working. Smirking as he picked the kid up quickly and leaving the campsite with no traces that anyone was there.
It had taken only minutes to get in and out since they had down several recon mission before as they ranked jonin. They made their way west of the village as they were told to bring the blonde haired brat to a hidden base that would be their bas of operations for this event that was to take place.
Blue eyes stared straight into a mirror looking at his own body as it was tied to a table. He scowled as he looked around wondering how he got here and why he couldn't seem to move a muscle. He yelled and screamed cursing at whoever took him from his team. But minutes turned to hours and his throat was getting sore from screaming to whoever was out there but he had a tingling sensation throughout his body as if he were getting feeling back in. He just waited at this point until he smelt the scent of urine and knew he had just wet himself as he had bee stuck all day here with no bathroom breaks or anyone to talk to.
He looked at himself in the mirror infront of him and saw the wet urine stain on his pair of pants. He still could barely lift a finger at this point, he wondered if anyone knew if he was here or if anyone was pranking him for pranking them or something. He tried talking to get out of the room and off the table to get new clothes at the very least but no one answered. He just stayed upright on the table looking at himself in the mirror trying to devise a plan to escape but he was not just tied down but his wrist and ankles were in metal cuffs that were attached to the table.
Sure he wasn't the brightest tool out of the shed but he knew an experimenting table when he saw one and this didn't look good as he thought. Time seemed to pass slowly here but soon enough part of the mirror shift to show a hidden door as someone walked in and smirked with eyes glinting with malice. Naruto just watched not knowing who this man was or what the man wanted but something caught his eye a leaf head band attached to his left arm. "You're here to help get me out right?" Naruto asked almost believing this was all just a ploy until the man swiftly stabbed him in the arm causing him to scream out in pain.
"Yeah right kid. I came to be the big hero for a demon like you. Your such a sweet kid that everyone seems to love." The leaf ninja spoke with such sweetness that it was surreal as his smile turned into a grin as blood was soaking the blonde's jacket making it dark and red. "Now such a beautiful colour compared to your ridiculously orange jumpsuit. Now we have you here we are going to have some fun with games we have planned. Maybe after we are done with you we will left you free. But until then you are our slave you got that." The man sneered as he twisted the blade getting the blonde to cry out in glorious pain. Tears ran down those tanned cheeks "I'm here to get you ready for the boss as he doesn't want to smell piss of a stupid brat like you. Your body should be fine to move by now. So undress now and I'll give you something to wear." The man sounded so revolted at telling the boy to strip.
Naruto was let loose of his confinements "Strip now." The man left no other option as he knew it would be best to just follow instructions until he could figure a way out but that had to wait. He was covering his penis as he stood completely naked infront of the man. He had never had someone else see his body ever because he never went to the public baths and no one ever care for him when he was living on his own. The man scoffed at the actions but threw the piece of fabric at the boy who looked at it questionly "That's your clothing while you're here now get dressed."
Naruto picked the fabric up and crudely put the fujoshi on and looked to the man with contemplating a plan to escape still. He would not be subjugated to this ridicule any longer by anyone from the village. The man was taller then he was but he was still young and growing, the leaf ninja pushed Naruto to the door that was shown as a mirror from the room. "Get moving slow poke. Your late with the meeting the boss has for you." the man kept pushing Naruto which caused him to fall every other time, he was tired as well as hungry which did not help him.
They made their way through the semi dark tunnels of the labatory twisting hallways and turns that could him confused quickly. They neared a heavy metal door which opened inward and again the man pushed him in roughly making the blonde fall down into the room brandishing a few scraps. Blood welled up and spilling over the open welts. "I thought I told you to be gentle with the boy. Oh well what's done is done am I right demon vessel of the leaf. Thank you for being such a good guest. Now to let you know why you're here. Well that's simple and that reason is that you currently house the demon fox Kyuubi Kurama inside you. That is unacceptable now, we cannot allow someone like you run rampant as you have showed everyone you are unpredictable. We cannot have someone like you have their own leash so we are creating a leash per say. My name is not important for someone of your lowly status. Also we are stripping you of your name and giving you a number as a new name. This will allow us to track you. This lab has things we found interesting and thought lets fix what the third didn't even have time to fix."
A second man spoke with such versatile that he sounded so down to earth it was creepy. The lack of light also didn't help either as the man stepped into the light so Naruto could see him and it made him flinch. The man had a leaf headband like the other who now stood in a corner waiting for instructions. This man was thin but you could tell he was trained as he had toned muscles adorned his visible body parts.
"They will find me. You can't keep me here I don't belong to anyone!" Naruto got up and stood his ground. The man came over slowly but this did not make the blonde move as if saying I'm standing my ground and you can't break me. The smile the man gave was not a good smile as it reminded him of Orochimaru's gleam of joy which could make anyone shiver in response. What Naruto did not expect was to be picking himself off the floor holding his cheek. The man hit him back handedly which he was used to because of the villagers being a little rough with him and the training at the academy was not easy either.
"I did not ask for your input boy. Now we will mark you with our new name. Hold him still as I get it ready." The next moment the blonde was being held down by a giant shinobi. Blue eyes widen at seeing a searing red hot iron come towards him after second the man had turned around to grab something. Now he was staring down the hot iron that had serial numbers ingrained then as it was touched his tanned skin he screamed as a white hot flash a pain swept through his tiny body. He could feel his skin being molded and burned to match the numbers he now had burned on his collarbone.
"Alright since the naming ceremony has finished can you take our precious 0010095 back to his table. We are done for now let him regain some composure or whatever he has left of his pride left." The man made a shooing motion and the one who held him took him back through the tunneling hallways to the mirrored room again. He was again tied upon the table to await them again his body kept shaking from the pain in both shoulders, one from the scalpel and the other from getting branded like cattle. 'Was this how people saw him as nothing more then cattle?' he thought to himself as he got a good look in the mirror at the wounds he now held, the numbers looked red and angry the scrapped knees looked bloody but was normal for him. His open wound was still trickling some blood down onto his torso and leg.
He was left again alone in the room for what felt like days as his stomach kept demanding food but he could not eat as he had nothing to eat. He waited and waited and finally the man who branded him came in with slamming the door open which startled the blonde. He looked up into eyes to him seemed filled with red of hatred and something that he could not recognize. The man came over silently inspecting the burn mark on his collarbone then the healed hole in his shoulder. The man smirked and Naruto could not help but feel defenseless against this man how had him locked up for hours or days seemed so irrelevant right now as he looked at this man in fear.
Naruto just watched the leaf ninja take a syringe from his pocket "This is for you. It'll make your veins burn and ache. I found this under some old papers. Hope you enjoy this." He tried to struggle away but he was stuck on the table as the man pushed the needle into his arm. The burning was so different then the hot cast iron, his veins felt like actual fire was running through them. Hours past and he kept withering from the pain he felt on the inside as his heart started to feel normal and not so fiery with pain. It brought heart burn to a new level of painful burning.
Days went by with the same the man trying new drugs on him that caused him to loose his voice after days of screaming his head off from the fiery burning to freezing cold. He could see his body from the mirror and it looked so thin and the fujoshi was not just barely hanging on to his hips. The man never laid a hand on him other to drug him into silent screaming fits of pain. He had long lost all his tears as his body said it would be a waste of precious fluids he had left. He couldn't even tell what day it was no less the month. He laid there waiting for the man to return but he had not come back for awhile now. Grey eyes looked around trying to see if he could escape his prison, his eyes caught sight of the rope which had thinned down from all his thrashing from the injection. Blood caked the roped and his body as he struggled with what strength he had.
The man still had not returned even when the rope snapped from wear and tear, the boy slipped his hands free from shackles since he was so thin after not eating anything for months now. He undid the leg shackles and slipped to the floor into a heap as his body almost concaved on him from weakness. Crawling to the doorway and trying to pry it open but it was no use as he had barely any strength after freeing himself from the table. He fell asleep by the door so when he woke he could possibly free himself.
When he woke next it was dark in the room compared to the bright lights blaring before he slept. Taking a shakily breath he used his hand to feel for a crack on the wall for the door he remembered in his foggy memory. He slowly was able to pry open the door and get out before it shut again, he crawled with his battered body down the opposite way he was taken several times with his wrongful incarnation. Hours got him to dead ends and finally a door that smelled like fresh air was just on the other side. He took a break as his body told him he needed another break after searching for so long in the maze of tunnels.
He sighed a breath as he put a thin hand to the handle of the door which would set him free after being used a pin cushion for the leaf ninjas. His trembling hand opened the door slowly and squinted his eyes as the bright light shone into his grey eyes. He knew that the reason he had grey eyes was because of the liquids that kept being pumped into his system had changed a few physical attributes, one his eyes, two his skin was now a milky white now compared to the tanned skin he had before. Third was his hair or I should say lack of as the stress and unkemptness of his situation had him loose most of his hair he had.
As his eyes adjusted to his surroundings he saw the forest infront of him yet another prison in its own self. The boy frowned not knowing what to do now since no one had found him even after being taken, he watched the sky turn dark for the first time in months and he smiled for the first time since the first day of being imprisoned. Howls could be heard in the distance along with sounds of nocturnal animals readying themselves for the hunt.
