It was a night like any other in the Hidden Village of Konohagakure. It was fall and everyone was out enjoying the nightlife and the cool weather. That was until something unthinkable, but still very possible at this point and time in history. Tonight was October 10th. And the Kyuubi was on the attack. In the Land of Rice Paddies, however, something else was happening. Well not just something, two somethings were happening.
Orochimaru, one of the three legendary sannin, was working on some specimens for his latest experiment. You see, every since his quest to master every jutsu, he has gone more crazy then he was when he left.
He started a side project which involved pure beast of chakra. These nine beasts are known as the bijuu or a tailed beast. Sadly for the snake pedo, he could not get his hands on one of the nine. So like any logical man that is clinically insane he made one from scratch.
However, at his age, he can not risk having a highly dangerous, highly experimental beast that can literally destroy the western hemisphere forced into his body without any help. So he did the only logical thing and kidnapped a little boy like he would do 12 years later. This little boy had nothing special about him he was basically a cookie cutter baby. He was one of the last test subjects to go through the sealing process. A tailed beast of this magnitude could not be held by a mere mortal. Until it was, by a boy who still pooped in his pants.
If the sealing into kidnaped children didn't work he would have had to try something else. Having been the mad scientist he had always been he wanting to try doing something that all men of science who have gone mad have done. He wanted to create life in an unconventional way. Instead of having a bunch of body parts laying around for him to sew together, or an egg donor for a test tube baby he made this life like he did with the tailed beast from scratch.
The boy that Orochimaru made was not any normal boy. He made this boy with some hidden styles of elemental ninjutsu. He took the Kekkei Genkai of the Yuki clan and inserted it into the DNA of the boy.
He made his chakra on par to the level of an Uzumaki. Even if he didn't use the boy for sealing, with proper training he could be a good host for his next body.
Because the two experiments were a success Orochimaru named them, because his special experiments get names. He named the successful "Artificial Jinchuuriki" 'Ishi' and the "Artificial Human" 'Nikku'. Life was not that great for the two. Orochimaru kept them in test tubes. He monitored them every day while he would do his other sick experiments. They could not witness them because they were forced into a coma because Ishi had too much power to handle while awake and Nikku was unstable because his body was not quite ready to face the world.
Life continued on this way for about two years. Ishi was now three and Nikku was 2. During some time in fall, something similar to what happened in Konoha happened here. But instead of a tailed beast being released in a hidden village a powerful blast occurred in the hideout where the two boys and the snake man were. The cause of the blast was the power for Ishi's pod went out and stopped the tube from working. When the tube stopped the power of the tailed beast exploded out of him while still keeping his physical form unharmed.
It all happened in an instant. Orochimaru had a second to get out of there so he used half his chakra in a substitution jutsu to get as far away as possible from ground zero. After the blast had subsided all that was left was two broken pods. In the pod with a crack in it was a 2 year-old boy with high chakra reserves and ice Kekkei Genkai. And the other pod which had its top blown off had an Artificial Jinchuuriki with a weakened tailed beast.
On the edge of the crater sat a large orange toad with blue markings. The toad wore a huge necklace with the kanji for loyalty on top of the toad stood a strange man with hair that looked like a hedgehog and a wart on the left side of his nose. He also a green kimono that was short with pants that matched his shirt. Over that, he wore a haori and wooden sandals.
"What the hell just happened?" the man pondered as he looked at the crater where a grand hideout use to lay."I knew Orochimaru was bat-shit insane but…" He lead on, "but not crazy enough to blow up one of his main hideouts with all his research inside."
On closer inspection, he spots two pods lying on the ground at the center of the blast. "What is that?" he wonders. "Gama stay here while I go down here, I don't think this was intentional," he tells the toad and only gets a croak in reply.
As the man with the kimono slides down the almost perfect slope created by the blast he notices how the burn marks on the ground don't look like they were created by a paper bomb. The ground looks like it was scorched by chakra. He also noticed how there was little to known rubble like everything was just disintegrated.
As he reached the bottom of the slope he saw the two pods and their occupants. He was shocked that these two children had survived while there was nothing to be seen around them. One pod looked like it was just cracked which surprised him, but what really took the cake was how the other pod's top had been blown off. Then something clicked in his mind.
"Did the explosion occur inside this pod through the child?" he said as he examined the child in question. This child had a nametag that read 'Ishi'. This boy had a darker skin tone than his counterpart in the other pod. He picked up and stared at the boy who was apparently named 'Ishi' then he opened his eyes and smiled at the man.
The man smiled back and said, "Hey there my name is Jiraiya and I'm here to help you." after he said that he looked down at the fairer skinned boy. He also had a name tag and it Said 'Nikku' on it.
"These poor must have been in there for a while." He said as he looked down at the other child. "I mean look at him he looks like he is freezing," he said as he noticed the frost on the pod. "And the pod also looks like it freezing. Then when he finally noticed the icicles forming on the inside of the pod it finally clicked.
"That teammate of mine must have done something to these children like with that Tenzo." he wondered as he put the child named Ishi down.
" I should contact Konoha about what I have found today," he said as he summoned a small toad. He wrote down a message to the 3rd Hokage explaining what he had found that day. "Ok bring this to the third as soon as possible," he said only getting a confirming croak as a response.
