A crying baby could be heard on a dark night, surrounded by flames and rubble and beside two bodies. One of the bodies belonged to a woman with fiery red hair with purple eyes wearing a white blouse under a green dress, that was bloodied with a large stab wound in her stomach area.
The man had tan skin with blonde hair that framed his face and had cerulean blue eyes. He had on the normal Konohakagure jonin uniform, though he had on a white haori with flames on the bottom and kanji on the back of it, though it was covered with blood by a stab wound like the woman.
The baby itself had a plump face like the woman signifying her status as his mother. He also had blonde hair, tan skin, and blue eyes, showing his relation to the man.
"Kukuku...What a shame this is." A voice commented, walking closer to the crying baby. The voice belonged to a pasty white man with ink-black hair that was waist-length and some strands covered his golden, snake-like eyes with purple markings.
Orochimaru walked closer to the crying baby and pulled out several vials and a syringe. 'I would take the brat himself, but then sensei would hunt me down.' He convinced himself.
While he believed himself to be stronger than Sarutobi, the old man could still give a run for his money and possibly even take the Snake Sannin down, even with his old age.
The Sannin shook himself out of his thoughts as he prepared the syringe and stabbed into Kushina's dead body, doing the action several times to collect the ex-Jinchuriki's blood for his next experiment.
He finished taking the redhead's blood sample before plugging the vials.
Orochimaru gained an annoyed look as he plunged the syringe into the blonde baby, causing him to scream in pain as his blood was placed into several vials.
The Sannin furrowed his brow as he took a closer look at the vial, seeing it had a reddish aura. 'Oh my! Minato sealed the Kyuubi within the brat!' He pieced together.
The brat's Kyuubi riddled blood would allow for his project to be a Pseudo-Jinchuriki, allowing it to be empowered with roughly a tail's worth of chakra.
Orochimaru plugged the vials of Naruto's blood and quickly sealed all of the equipment he used. He quickly got up and retreated, turning back and saw his sensei finding the latest Jinchuriki and his dead parents. 'I would say hello, but I must complete this latest experiment!' He thought as he quickly ran towards the safe house where he would do the latest experiment.
A slam against metal could be heard followed by a, "Damn it!" originating from Orochimaru. The main reason being is that for the past few weeks, his latest experiment, Project Spider, wasn't coming to fruition.
The primary reason for failure was the deaths of previous subjects. The cause of death was the rejection of the spider genetic implementation, resulting in a quick death.
The Snake Sannin narrowed his eyes as the vat in front of him was emptied, ready for the next attempt. 'Hmm, the Uzumaki genes refuses to let the imprint happen. If I could-That it's!' He realized with a grin and quickly called for Kabuto.
"What is it Orochimaru-sama?" The ex-spy asked while pushing up his glasses.
"Well, Kabuto-kun," The Sannin began. "I need you to retrieve some of subject Shin's DNA." He ordered cryptically.
Kabuto was confused as to the request, but nodded and quickly left the room. He quickly returned with a vial of blood in hand.
The sannin quickly grabbed it from his assistant and returned to the console. He injected the DNA into the console along with the remnants of Naruto and Kushina's.
He then turned his attention to the monitor and saw the genetics being synchronized. The end result was being 50% Kushina, 45% Naruto, and 5% Shin.
The fallen Sannin grinned as he the vat started to create the clone from the genetic material. He turned to face Kabuto, ordering, "Watch for any changes and inform me when it is complete."
The grey-haired shinobi nodded as Orochimaru left the lab.
*Week Later*
Orochimaru entered the lab after Kabuto had reported that the clone had survived and reached the designated age of three.
The Sannin smiled as he gazed upon the figure floating in the vat. The figure was a three-year-old child with red hair with black strands within. The child had faded whisker marks on his cheeks, along with extended canines jutting out of his mouth. He also had talons on his fingers.
"Kukukuku...It finally succeeded!" He declared. "But it will need a name...Menma shall do." He decided.
Reddish-purple eyes with slitted pupils blinked within darkness as their owner stood before a door that had yet to open. The owner had red hair with several black strands that slightly spiked out with several bangs hanging down in front of his eyes. He also had pale skin due to not ever seeing the sun. He had on a white jumpsuit with no shoes, showing off his poorly kept feet.
'When the hell is this trial going to get on?' Menma thought annoyed. This was pretty much the best part of his day, outside of sleep. The general schedule of his day was wake up, trial, possible experiment, lunch, and then going back to his cell. It was rather boring, but he couldn't do much about it.
Nothing much under his "master" Orochimaru! He didn't care what the pedophile said, he was not his master!
The red head's thoughts were interrupted by the grinding of the door in front of him. He shielded his eyes as the bright light within pained his sensitive eyes.
He let his eyes adjust and quickly stepped into the room, showing itself to be a white room, with an observation deck situated above to the left of Menma.
"Hello, Menma-Kun!" Orochimaru called out, the speakers carrying his voice. "I hope you ready for the latest experiment!"
Menma just sighed while replying, "I don't have a choice. Remember dumbass?" That earned a low tone growl. "So what oh so scary buggers will I be facing today?" He asked while turning his attention to the opposing door.
"Oh, since you've asked nicely, I'll show you." The Sannin responded while the other door began to open, revealing a group of three prisoners. "You three! Defeat the child and your freedom shall be granted!" That earned cheers from the group.
"Oh wow," Menma began. "It's going to be so difficult to kill these fecks. Thank you so much Orochimaru-sama!" He said sarcastically.
"Do try and have some fun Menma-Kun," Orochimaru told him. "Now begin!"
The group began to circle around him, with what he guessed was the leader taunting him with, "Come on brat! You too scared to fight us?"
Menma just sighed and pushed his bangs up. "You group are a bunch of pussies, right? Is that why you're so scared to attack a nine-year-old like me right?" He insulted.
One of the prisoners got aggravated at the insult and rushed at him, aiming for a sloppy punch. The attack was sidestepped and felt something stab into his stomach, before being kicked away.
Menma retracted his stinger into his forearm as the prisoner fell over, clenching his gut. He quickly pressed his middle and ring finger down, causing webbing to shoot out with a 'Thwip'. The webbing quickly reached its target, attaching to the prisoner.
He attempted to pull it off but only resulted in his hands/arms being stuck. Menma grasped the webbing with one hand and with surprising strength, sent him flying closer to him.
He would have gone for the kill but was caught by the leader of the group in a headlock. "Guess your not to tough, huh brat?" He taunted Menma while he chocked him.
He responded by opening his mouth and biting down with his fangs ready. The leader yelled in pain and released Menma, who licked the blood off his fangs. The prisoner gazed down at his arm where the bite happened and saw the area around it to rot.
He proceeded to feel pain like nothing else and fell over, scratching at the wound in an attempted to stop it. "You having fun with necrosis?" Menma asked while he stood over him with a mocking grin.
"Yo-you bastard!" The prisoner yelled through the pain as the rot began to climb up his arm.
Menma gained a surprised look. "How dare you!" He said before the look was dropped. "I'll have you know I have no father." He commented before gaining an annoyed look as the man started to scream in agony. "Now you're being disrespectful. Hope necrosis reaches your brain before the rest of your organs. Cause that's going to hurt like a bitch."
He walked over to the still trapped prisoner, who was giving a look of fear. "I would play with you but your friend just ruined it for me. So bye!" He told the prisoner, who was about to speak but wasn't able to get a sound out of his throat before Menma slashed open his throat with his talons, causing blood look leak out and splash onto his face.
The clone licked the blood off his face and gained a sadistic smile. 'It always tastes delicious.' He thought as he wiped off the blood on his face, causing his bangs to fall in front of his eyes.
"Good job Menma-Kun," Orochimaru complemented. "Your-"
"I don't care." Menma rudely interrupted. "I'm just going back to my cell." He walked over to the door where he entered and was about to walk in when it grinded close quickly.
"No, you will not brat!" Orochimaru declared with anger and irritation in his tone. "I have decided to bring you to heel!"
Menma just looked at the observation deck with a bored look. "Really? How? Cause the grunts you're feeding me is starting to get a bit drab."
"Perhaps then you will like this," Orochimaru said before Menma heard a hissing. He looked around to see the vents to see a gas was leaking in. He began coughing and losing consciousness. The last thing the clone heard was Orochimaru cackling.
Menma groaned as unconsciousness left him. He looked to see he was in a lab and strapped down with shackles attached to his wrists and ankles. He also noted that his jumpsuit's upper part had been removed showing off the various scars he had gained from the various experiment he had been in.
He started to try and break out but quickly stopped when Orochimaru entered his view, wielding a syringe with a white substance within it.
"So good to see your awake Menma-Kun." He commented while walking closer to Menma's side.
"Always a good night sleep with drugs." He commented snarkily. "So what's on the menu today? Injections? testing my healing factor? Or is it time for another cutting session?"
"Oh, no Menma-Kun." Orochimaru clarified. "I'm bringing you to heel. As I said before."
"Oh yay," He began with a roll of his eyes. "Time for a Curse Mark." He realized. He really didn't want to be a bitch, but it didn't seem like he had any choice.
"Good to see your not that stupid." He commented. "Time for your medicine!" He declared as he stabbed Menma's arm with the syringe, with the substance going into his bloodstream.
"Ow! That hurt sooo-Hugh!" Menma's sarcasm was interupted as he threw up a white substance that started to cover his body as it spasmed and jerked around.
Orochimaru looked on with curiosity as Menma's form broke the shackles and collapsed to the ground, with most of his body being covered with the white substance with black marking in the form of a spider.
After a few minutes, he stopped jerking around and began heaving, earning a smirk from the Sannin, who believed the Curse Seal worked.
"Who am I?" He asked the hunched over Menma, believing that his will was dominated by his own.
He didn't expect Menma look up with pure red eyes and yell, "A dead man walking!" He quickly slashed with extended talons. Orochimaru quickly ducked under it but was tackled by Menma.
He responded by turning into various snakes and escaping Menma's grasp and pinning him down with the Kusanagi ready to kill him. "Looks like you are still too weak." He mocked earning a feral growl from Menma.
The clone attempted to lash out but was felt himself becoming weaker. He let out a defeated sigh as the white substance retracted back into his body, but left the black markings.
The end result was the Curse Mark settling onto his chest as a large black spider with the top left and right legs extending up to his Adam's apple. The second set crept up his arms and went down to his wrists. The third mearly arched down, joining with the last set going down his legs, ending at his ankles.
"I'm going to kill you." Menma declared between pants, earning a condecing smile from the Sannin.
"I'm going to have to train you to do that." He revealed, causing Menma to be surprised, though it was hidden. The snake summoner quickly summoned two guards to take back to his cell.
"I hope you realize you're making your own killer." He warned the Sannin, though was waved off.
"The snake eats the spider in the wild. That is the way of nature." He told his future sensei.
'Unless that spider can cause necrosis, thus taking down the snake.' Menma thought darkly as he was hauled off to his cell.
Menma has a mixture of Miguel O'Hara and Kaine's abilities.
