Okay this is my first story, so I would appreciate any constructive criticism that you may have so I can make this story better. For those that may wonder Naruto is Shiki.

Special Thanks to Dracohalo117 and Draton for allowing me to borrow some ideas.

Prologue

It was quiet. The only sounds in the room came from the various medical devices doing their individual tasks. The only inhabitant in the room remained unconscious in a transparent medical tube filled with a glowing green-white liquid, unaware of the various wires and tubes attached to his body keeping him alive and monitoring his status, unaware of the device attached to his head teaching him even in his unconscious state and especially unaware of the people observing him through a camera in the room.

Observing him though the camera were two men standing in a poorly lit room. One clearly a scientist wore a white lab coat over a simple ruffled dress shirt and pants. His blond hair was long, pulled back into a braid to the middle of his back. The other and taller of the two observed carefully and quietly, thinking on the boundless potential the new weapon had. He was cloaked in shadows with only the unnatural smirk he wore on his face and his glowing blue eyes visible.

"Hmm... it's time. Wake him up," Spoke the man. Beside him the scientist hesitated to follow the order until the man calmly sent a glare his way.

"Fine, fine, but don't you think keeping him in a tank full of pure, unrefined Mako for 6 years, not to mention pumping more unrefined Mako into his system everyday was going too far!?"

"No, and never forget just who truly rules here Jack and never forget your place or you'll lose it. Got it?" All through his speech the man spoke in a low voice even as he threatened the Jack.

".....Yes...." Jack whispered.

"Good." He turned back to the monitor as Jack began typing in the command to begin the purging process.

Opening his eyes the boy immediately closed them again when they began to hurt. Trying again he opened them slower this time. Upon fully opening his eyes the boy looked around taking in the layout of his surroundings, taking note of where everything in the room was.

Suddenly a door slid open in the wall to the right. A young blond haired woman wearing a white lab coat over a ruffled, white shirt and black skirt entered the room, the door closing behind her as she walked into the room. Turning the lights on to a low setting she looked at the tank holding the boy, surprised to see him awake. Snapping out of it she quickly walked over to the computer module on the side of the tank to check on his status. On seeing the message from Jack she entered the command to release the boy from the tank.

The Mako filling the tank began to drain away as the woman went through the procedure to prepare a full medical examination for the child. As then Mako finished draining the tube slowly opened forward while the boy began shivering from the sudden change of temperature and breathing hard drawing oxygen into his lungs. The woman stepped forward and wrapped the boy in a warm, dry blanket as she hugged him trying to get warmth into his body again.

Picking up the child, she walked over to a small medical table and placed him onto it. As he snuggled further into the blanket her hands began to glow a dull yellow and she ran her hands over the length of his body checking for any medical problems that the equipment may have missed or over looked. Sighing, after she finished the scan she began to fill out the medical form on his condition, she just knew that his life would be difficult. Another doctor entered to take the form.

Back in with Jack as he went over the form, the man in the shadows waited patiently for the results.

With a sigh Jack looked towards the man.

"I told you it was a bad idea! It appears he has undergone severe alterations. In fact from the information given by that scan he is no longer human, we don't know just what he is! If that's not enough he has lost his sight. It appears he is no longer capable of sight as we are. Overloads of Mako and power fluctuations have almost completely destroyed the pigments and retinas in his eyes. How will he perform the duties expected of SOLDIER if he can't see!?" Jack had began to panic.

"Quiet down now! What is the boy's condition other than his loss of sight?"

"What do you mean other than his sight!? Isn't him losing his sight bad enough are you that heartless!?" Jack yelled at the man.

Losing his patience the man grabbed Jack by the throat and lifted him into the air.

"You obviously didn't hear me clearly. What is the boy's condition other than his loss of sight?" the man growled, before he dropped Jack back into his chair.

Gulping in oxygen as fast as humanly possible Jack massaged his throat. As soon as he was able to breathe properly again he grabbed the report to check it over again for all the details.

"Other than his sight it appears as though we can confirm his is physically disabled. It seems he has developed a severe case of Tuberculosis; we can take care of this problem however with how far the disease has spread he will never be completely rid of it." Jack took in a breath as he continued, "As I suspected he was born with a few mental disabilities as well. From what I can tell from this scan he was born with Antisocial Personality disorder and Schizophrenia so I won't be surprised if he grows up with little to no emotion. Finally we will need to observe him for at least another week to make sure that he has not developed Mako poisoning."

"Now as for positive results, he has developed as was theorized. With the Mako injected into him and the information we have downloaded into his brain he is the greatest SOLDIER that has ever been created. Beyond anything that madman Hojo has come up with, including Sephiroth. His magical and physical strength is off the charts and mentally he is superior to anyone that I have ever seen. In fact we have had a lot of problems with data to upload into his brain. He's a perfect prodigy, anything he's learning he learns almost immediately. When his training has begun his abilities will most likely at least be on par with a SOLDIER Second Class," Jack began to gasp in breath having completed his analysis in one breath.

"Is there anything else?"

"Well I from this data I think something is holding him back." Jack replied uncertainly.

"Hmm... Do you know what is holding the boy back?"

"Well it appears to be an incomplete link of some kind, but there's nothing that can be done about it without permanently damaging him to the point that this will all have been pointless." Jack responded as he looked to the man.

"Fine, observe and record everything for the next week. I want all data on his strengths and weaknesses as you can get before his training begins. His lack of sight shouldn't be too much of a problem. In the mean time I must report to the president about this experiment. He has invested a lot of time and money into this boy as such this is top priority." He turned and began to walk to the door, but Jack called after him before he could leave.

"Um I need to tell you that this experiment can't be used for any others. While it may have been successful in this case the procedures would kill any other in his place." The man nodded, but Jack just had to ask. "If it's not too much trouble who will train and care for the boy? "

Jack was met with silence. Letting out a sigh he turned back to the monitor to continue observing the child.

"Auron" The man whispered as he walked out the door.

Jack let out a sigh as he looked at the unfortunate boy on the monitor. It was a mistake to join Shinra Science Division, but it was even more of a mistake to set aside his own morals for this experiment. At least he knew he only did it so some psycho like Hojo wouldn't get his hands on the child. Letting out another sigh he continued to watch as the woman and child interacted with each other in voices too quiet to hear.

Watching the boy the woman began to take in his appearance. Though he was only six it wouldn't be too hard to mistake him for a ten year old. He stood at approximately 4'7 in height, with bright pure white hair the colour of snow. His body was slender with the appearance of a person built for speed and flexibility. You could see the muscles developing inside of his body that shouldn't be in any human body, even through the blanket that he still clutched tightly around his small frame. The only clothes present on his body were boxers for modesty. Even those needed to be replaced from being soaked in Mako.

"Tell me child do you know your name?" the woman asked as she carefully watched the child.

As he looked around for the woman's location all he could see was swirls of blue, black, white and grey. He couldn't make out any definite objects though he could make out a shape that slightly resembled a human. Her voice sounded oddly distorted to him, as though she was speaking through glass. Slowly the sound stabilized enough that he could tell the direction she was speaking from.

Looking in her direction he could only shake his head no, before looking towards the floor.

Smiling at him the woman hugged the boy again.

"Your name is Shiki. Can you say your name for me?"

"My name is Shiki." Shiki responded to her request. "What's your name miss?"

Her smile kept growing as she looked at Shiki.

"My name is Minerva. It's nice to meet you Shiki." Minerva answered. Shiki fell asleep in her embrace shortly after her greeting. "You know I think I'm going to request that I take care of you from now on."

As she finished speaking her eyes glowed a pale blue quickly before going back to normal, though no one saw this.

For those that want to say that he is already too powerful to start out with, I want him to be Godlike, but like everything he will have his weaknesses. Primarily his illnesses will get in his way.

Remember to review.
