Rise of the Dark Shinobi
Chapter One: Dark Trainers
"We need to create something that can fight Shadow Pokemon but can't be corrupted like one. Any suggestions?" One man was asking. He was tall, about six feet, and had a white lab coat on. Any other features were hidden by the dark room.
"What if we splice legendary DNA into a Pokemon egg? Or even ninja familiar animals from around the village, since they want those too, but we'd need a different method for them. That would make them stronger, and probably able to resist Cipher and their attempts to create Shadow beings. The only problems are how and what to do about a human partner," a woman said; she stood at about five foot six and she was also wearing a white lab coat.
"I have an idea for what do about a human partner. Make them some sort of human Pokemon hybrid. Put the same legendary Pokemon DNA into them, but with a different method. We can use kids from shinobi clans and maybe from a few prominent civilian families. Then we'll do it in three phases. Phase one is when they're only a month to six or seven months. Phase two is when they're four or five, shortly before they enter the Academy. And finally, phase three is when they're ten or eleven, just before they graduate. We can use a computer to re-create the DNA. A shot of blood might work. The only hard part is getting them to survive," another white coated man spoke.
"Good idea, as much as I hate to say it," the first agreed. "But how to get them?"
"Take one here or there from the hospital," the second said. "Just one or two a month, maybe three, but never on the same day two months in a row, or even the same day of the week. We can decide which days before hand, but they can't follow any predictable pattern. Otherwise they'll figure us out. It can be the first day one month and the last day another or dead center some other, but never the same, or in any sort of pattern. We can't decide more than a few days to a week ahead, and only one of us can know exactly who and when. If we get caught, they'd only have a one in three chance of getting the one with the information. We start tonight by taking a few kids from less prestigious clans, or even orphans. That wouldn't cause as big of a fuss, and there are plenty at the hospital. No one will notice a few missing. They might even be glad to have a few taken off their hands. All in?"
They were and made their way to the hospital. They took a boy from the Hyuuga clan, born on January twenty-seventh. They bribed a nurse to say he had died. They took a girl from the Yamanaka clan, born on July first. She too had "died." Their last choice was a boy from the Inuzuka clan born on April twenty-ninth. Because the hospital was so overcrowded with young orphans from the Kyuubi attack, the nurses were more than happy to have a few taken off their hands.
It was just over six months after the Kyuubi attack and there were many orphaned infants in the hospital. Most were only a few months old. It was easy to just bribe a nurse to say they died and take them back to their secret laboratory. Then, the three conspirators had the idea to use the Kyuubi's vessel, Uzumaki Naruto, as one of their "dark shinobi," as they would be known.
"Hokage-sama, I formally request permission to adopt Uzumaki Naruto. I am a qualified medic-nin and bear no grudge against him for the burden he carries. I swear it by the Will of Fire," a man was saying. He was one of the scientists planning on giving humans, Pokemon, and ninja familiar animals legendary Pokemon DNA through a blood injection. They had decided to use DNA from Darkrai and another legendary Pokemon, different for each trainer, since Darkrai was the village's patron.
"Okay, then, I will grant custody of Uzumaki Naruto to you. But if I find that he is hurt in any way, I can promise you that Ibiki will enjoy spending time with you. Is that clear?"
The man gulped. "Crystal, Hokage-sama. I assure you, no harm will ever come to Uzumaki Naruto." Morino Ibiki's reputation as a torture and interrogation specialist was legendary.
The Hokage relented, and the man, child in arm, went back to the secret laboratory where the other three children were waiting.
"I have him," he announced, handing Naruto to another man. "As soon as we prepare him, we can begin the process. Have you selected the DNA for each child?"
"We have," the woman replied. "Entei for the Inuzuka boy, Latias for the Hyuuga boy, Lugia for the Yamanaka girl and Giritina for the Kyuubi's jailor."
"Are we ready?" The man who had been preparing the infants for the procedure asked. "They're ready any time everyone else is."
They were ready, and began the procedure. Each doctor donned surgical robes, caps and masks, then put sterile rubber gloves on. One then created a shadow clone.
Each doctor moved to stand in front of one of the infants. All four babies were attached to various machines typically found in an operating room.
They made an incision to expose the heart and injected the blood into it. The reaction was immediate. The Yamanaka girl turned gray. Her body couldn't handle the power of the blood, or the second legendary DNA wasn't a good match for her. The doctors took her off of life supports, sighing sadly. Even though this was their job, it was hard to see a baby die.
They created shadow clones to observe the three remaining infants as they found a place to bury the girl where no one would know.
The other reactions were much more promising. All three would live through this injection. For the next injection, and the final one, however, there was no way of knowing if they would survive or not.
They then gave each child (minus Naruto) a new name. They Hyuuga boy would be Hyuuga Taka and the Inuzuka child was Inuzuka Inu. Naruto was still Uzumaki Naruto. The Hokage would not be pleased if they changed his name. And no one wanted to piss off the strongest ninja in the entire village, no matter how old he was.
The conspirators chose two more children from the hospital the next month. One girl from the Aburame clan survived. They named her Aburame Shina.
The following month, four children were snatched from the hospital. Sadly, none of them survived.
Months passed, almost a year, and still only those four had survived. Only time would tell if any others would survive.
