Experimental

Summary: Naruto is used as a lab rat right after Sasuke leaves. However, the serum meant to destroy enemies' minds and knowledge has a completely backwards effect on the Jinchuuriki. Congratulations, Council-man. You've finally done something right!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I do own this story here!

Claimer: I do, however, own Kamina Marina and several other characters that will be added here as they are mentioned or appear.

A/N: This came to my mind after watching Spider-Man about two weeks ago for the first time ever. I used to hate it but then, when I saw how Green Goblin and shit came to be, I got hooked. Yes, this story was inspired by Willem Dafoe, who played Norman Osborn, or rather, The Green Goblin.

Also, the reason for the shitty ideas lately is that mind has gone blank, but I still wanna write. So, don't mind the crap ideas, much, guys! Just read the damn story, kay!?

Yes, the first chapter IS crap. Oh. And this will not be NaruOc(Although our OC will have a crush on Naruto for a time), unless people think it SHOULD be. Romance will not be likely in this story, if it does happen, it will be pretty bad. It'd be my first time writing romance. Romance as in physical romance. Kissing and what-not.

Action scenes and romance scenes intimidate me. If you know of any way on brushing up on those two things (besides reading it and practice. I'm working on practicing it…) then please, do tell.

Pairings: None right now except hints of NaruOc. Later, I'll refer the NaruOc hints as NaruMari hints. There will probably be little to no romance between couples.

Bashes?: In order from most to least. Kiba, Kakashi, Ino, Sakura, Gai(JUST over the spandex, and turning Lee into a youth-craving freak.), Lee(JUST over the spandex).

Prologue

"Danzo. You need to test out that formula very soon, that way we can change it before a war with the Sound kicks in."

Danzo smirked, "Quiet down, Homura. Who, in Konoha, would you suggest?"

It was the old lady's turn to smirk, evil wringing on her lips, "Why, the demon brat, of course. We'd be national heroes for killing the boy. Kakashi will be out another student, but he can find a replacement and Sasuke will return once he's sure this place is no longer contaminated by the demon's presence."

"Is that so?" Danzo asked, smirking, "I'll do that."

Koharu frowned, "Just don't get caught, Danzo. If Tsunade catches you, you'll wish you'd been more discrete. Her punches probably aren't exactly weak."

Danzo shook his head, "She'll never suspect a thing."

-X-

Naruto had just been preparing for bed when a heavy knock rattled his door. He knew that knock anywhere.

Danzo.

He sighed. He'd been dealing with the council since before Sarutobi had died. He was used to this. He cracked open the door to see Danzo, a smile on his face. It looked so misplaced that Naruto cringed in fear.

"Naruto-kun, good evening."

"What do you want, Danzo?"

"Well, no need to get fussy. Fine, I'll tell you. I know we've had some… rough times in the past, and I've seen the error of my ways. You see, I asked Tsunade-sama about an experiment I've been working on. It's too help the village, too. She said you were the man for the job and she spoke highly of you!"

Naruto blushed, "W-Wow."

"And only one person in the whole village was chosen for this, too!"

"Wow, really? Sorry, I'm b-" Naruto couldn't finish as he fell face first into the ground as Danzo smirked.

"Fool."

-X-

Naruto groaned and look around in confusion.

"Wh-where am I?"

As far as he could tell, he was in something akin to a lab he had come across sometime last year, only less demented.

"You're in my lab, Naruto-kun." Danzo's sickening sweet voice said, it sounded positively gay coming from a man though, "Like I said, you're the only one who can help us with this experiment."

Naruto growled, "Obaa-chan doesn't even know about this, does she!?"

"Nope! Flip the switch, Marina-chan!"

Naruto's head swiveled to the side to see a girl with long black hair and the prettiest shade of purple eyes he'd ever seen. They were almost the color of amethyst. She was wearing a lab coat that looked too big on her and black and red shinobi wear underneath that.

"B-But Danzo-"

"You listen to me, Marina!" Danzo yelled, making the girl jump, "I'm keeping your family alive in exchange for you being here! Now this is your last chance! It's them, or this demon!"

She took in a shaky breath and turned, slowly bringing her hands up to keyboard before her, hesitating only once, sending an apologetic glance at Naruto. She typed in several things before the pain hit him like a ton of bricks.

-X-

Tsunade had been sleeping pleasantly, dreaming of burning the entire Icha Icha Collection when…

A blood curdling scream that sounded disturbingly like Naruto's hit her ears.

-X-

Marina stared in utmost horror as Naruto began to convulse and Danzo growled before running off. She turned, "Danzo! Where are you-"

She coughed, the smoke from the machine finally hitting her. She hadn't even noticed that the machine that created the green gas that was supposed to be destroying every cell in Naruto's body had started smoking, the green gas gone.

"Oh no… What've I done…?"

-A few days later-

Naruto grunted, sitting up without much problem, besides the head-splitting headache.

Someone then spoke, "Oh my! I see that you're awake, Lord Naruto!"

He groaned, receiving a quiet apology from the girl with waist-long black hair and almost-amethyst eyes, "Who the hell are you?" Naruto's voice was tired as his vision cleared to actually be able to see the red and black shinobi wear and the medical gloves on her hands.

"My name is Marina. Kamina Marina. I was the one who… well… ummm…."

"Helped Danzo with that experiment?"

She 'eeped', sounding oddly like a girl he knew named Hinata, she then replied, "Well… Yes… And I apologize for it… I-I had no choice… I was only working for him because my family was poor and my baby brother was ill… Danzo gave me medical training… In exchange for my helping him… He even sent my 'paycheck' straight to my family… But…"

"But?"

"Yesterday… He threatened them, then when you were brought here, to the hospital… I went home and…" Marina paused, tears threatening to spill over onto her cheeks, "I-I found… 'Police line. Do Not Cross'…"

Naruto looked at her, sympathetic, "I'm so sorry for your loss, Marina-san."

"It's alright, Lord Naruto… They're in a better place…"

"I have a question."

"U-Umm… Yes…?"

"What's up with the 'Lord Naruto' thing?"

She blushed, "I-I'm sorry. It's because… well, I owe you, so I shall do whatever you say until I can atone for what I've done… Although… I probably will be of little use…"

Naruto blinked, "So are you a shinobi…?"

She blushed a brighter red, contrasting with her pale white skin. Odd for some who lived in Konoha… "Well, I- Ummm… Not really. I've got medical skills and- ummm… Well, the basics… But… That's about it…."

"So you're a medical ninja?"

"Ye- Well… Umm… Kinda."

"Hey, I could convince Tsunade to give you proper shinobi training, if you want." Naruto began, watching as the girl's face went from a blush to utter shock, "So, what do you say?"

"I- Umm… Well, uhhh… Lord Naruto… You're… Ummm… You're amazing, Lord Naruto!"

Naruto blinked, "Amazing, huh?"

She blushed, "Y-yes… Ummmm…." She blushed brighter as Naruto smiled an unfamiliar smile. It wasn't like the normal foxy grin either, it was calmer, closed for once. "So cute…"

"Excuse me?"

"WAH! N-Nothing, N-N-N- Lord Naruto!"

"Nya. Whatever. Hmmm… I like that word… 'Nya', huh? Cool."

It went quiet then…

"So why am I in the hospital still?"

She 'eeped' yet again, jumping up and delicately, yet swiftly, taking a clipboard off the end of the bed, "W-Well, we ran some tests and, well… It seems that your brain cells dissolved and reformed at four times their original function… and there's twice as many, too…"

"So I'm eight times smarter?"

"Uh… Yes, you're positively correct!" Marina nodded, receiving a set of blinks from a rather confused Naruto, "Oh… M-my apologies, L-Lord Naruto, but I'm… horrible… at math…"

"Ah. I figured as much. Don't ask for tutoring though. I don't teach, sorry."

She nodded, "I wouldn't d-dare, Na- Lord Naruto."

"You can quit with the 'Lord Naruto' now, Marina-san."

"P-please, L-Lord Naruto… Don't refer to me as something so formal… Ummm… please, call me M-Marina…"

"Okay, M-Marina!"

She giggled, "Marina, Lord Naruto."

"Ooooohhhhh…." Naruto smiled, laughing slightly, "So, Mari-chan, does that mean you'll call me, 'Naruto' or 'Naru-kun' now."

"I-I wouldn't…. Never would I… Ummm…. Call someone so… ummm… amazing…. A… ummm… familiar nickname like that…"

Naruto sighed, "Anything else on that piece of paper?"

She blushed and nodded, "A… ummm… It seems that you're muscles have… erm… ummm…." She blushed, "Well… All the e-evidence you need are… on your… erm… arms…"

Naruto blinked and, for the first time, noticed the muscles that had, before, been almost non-existent were about the same size as Lee's, cause he doubted that spandex-clad maniac could break through Gaara's defense without something like this.

Then Naruto sighed, "I'm gonna be scarred for life after this…"

"Umm.. why?"

"Fangirls…"

She blushed, "I-I'm sorry… Ummm… It seems that your chakra has eased and that red chakra… ummm… has gone back to its seal. I… Umm… heard Hatake-sama s-say that when he was… discussing it with Tsunade-sama…."

"Oh, so you were the one eavesdropping!"

Marina 'eeped' and nearly fell off the stool she was seated on, had it not been for Naruto's quick reflex. He caught her and pulled her back up onto her seat, "I-I'm sorry…" Naruto had a feeling that the two words were really two apologies, one directed at him, the other to Tsunade.

Tsunade blinked, "Been working out Naruto?"

"Wha-"

"Tsunade-sama h-has not been h-h-h-here s-since you came i-in L-Lord Naruto…" Marina muttered, blushing slightly, "Th-the other n-nurses, d-doctors and I h-have been… erm…"

"I see…" Naruto muttered, "Thanks, Mari-chan!"

"Already close then, Naruto?" Tsunade asked, smirking in a way that caused the black-haired youth to blush feverishly, "When's the wedding, ne?"

"For one, obaa-chan," Naruto began, "Mari-chan and I just met and she asked me to call her this, so I am. For two, I'm only 13. Why would I get married at 13?"

Tsunade blinked and shrugged, "Didn't you tell me something of the sort that his IQ has increased, Kamina?"

"O-oh! Y-yes, Tsu-Tsunade-sama. His o-o-o-original IQ was…. uhh... 70? 60? Something to that effect?… N-now I believe it's a-a-a-a-about 200. I think... N-not as high as N-Nara Sh-Shika-Shikamaru-san… But still high…"

"I had an IQ of 60-70?" Naruto asked, twitching.

"That i-is n-n-n-no longer y-your IQ l-level though, L-Lord N-N-Naruto! Your IQ s-surpasses 98 of the K-Konoha p-population now!"

"That reminds me Naruto." Tsunade began, "I haven't told the Konoha Twelve of your condition, or the fact that you were hospitalized yet."

"HUH?"

Marina cut in, "W-we s-s-simply l-lied that y-you were on a m-mission, so as t-to not effect th-their own mission p-progress. Th-they would fret over you and… erm… Uhhh… Well, y-you know. B-Be distracted and possibly…." She trailed off, rethinking her choice of words.

"Getting themselves killed, I know. Thanks." Naruto nodded to the two, one who blushed, the other smiling, "Can I get out of here now?"

"Yes." Tsunade said, "But you have to let Marina here go buy you new clothes. I don't think you wanna go out in pajamas." Tsunade laughed at her own joke, which Marina giggled at and Naruto smiled about.

"Fine. I don't wanna go out in that horrendous orange thing anyways."

Tsunade smiled, "This has really changed you, Naruto. Do you think it was for better or for worse?"

"Better. After all, I'm always changing for the better, obaa-chan."

Marina laughed at the next thing Tsunade said, "No, you were always changing others for the better."

Naruto laughed, "Oh yea!"

A/N: Okay. Here it is. The prologue. Pretty fucking long for a prologue. I'll try to make all the actual chapters longer then this, but I'm pretty sure all of them will remain at about this wording if I can't.

Review if you liked, don't if you didn't.

Unless you are offering advice, people who disliked this story, don't reply. A flame isn't going to help you or me for that matter.

Also, if you're going to flame me, have the courtesy to not be anonymous.

Also, I'm not a Science person and, if you are, and I've done something totally impossible that could never happen (Even in an experiment.) or I've misnamed something, tell me and I'll most likely change it.
