"THIS DAMN BOW AND ARROW!" Orochimaru yelled tossing said items to the side.
"What's wrong Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asked glad that he wasn't expendable… yet.
"This stupid" he stomped on the bow and arrow "piece" another stomp "of crap" one last stomp for good measure "is giving off some sort of spiritual energy, but we don't know how to access it. I've tried everything, but the only thing that has any sort of effect is cutting people with it."
Kabuto picked up the charts from the table where the bow and arrow had once rested. Flipping through the data he noticed a certain pattern. "Everyone cut by the arrow had convulsions and died?"
Orochimaru turned to Kabuto with a glare, still irritated over his lack of success. "Yes. The people cut begin to show signs of the same spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy has a violent reaction with chakra then they just flat line without warning."
Kabuto put his hand on his chin thinking of a cause. "Perhaps the problem is not the bow and arrow, but the test subjects."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at Kabuto. The boy always has a plan up his sleeve. He was going to have to die eventually, but right now he had his uses. "What do you mean Kabuto-kun?"
Inwardly Kabuto shivered slightly. A thin, abnormally pale guy with an extending tongue calling you kun is very creepy. "All the test subjects used are extremely, well, average. Small chakra reserves, little skill, and they were all cowards. What you need is someone exceptional, or rather, someone who will be exceptional. Someone who could live through the bonding of chakra and this spiritual energy, whatever it is."
"You already have someone in mind, I presume."
"Of course, the Kyuubi jinchuriki,"
Orochimaru eyes widened briefly before narrowing again "Why him?" 'Did he find the files with Uzumaki's heritage?'
"Massive chakra capacity, high speeds healing if not outright regeneration, a seemingly unbreakable will, but still young enough to be molded into what we want. And if he goes berserk, he is young enough for us to kill him easily." Kabuto explained with a slight smirk on his face.
Orochimaru merely nodded in response, his logic was sound. "Alright retrieve the boy, but make sure you avoid his watchers. If they are found killed then there is going to be an investigation into the kidnapping rather than just another missing child."

7 year old Naruto shuffled into his apartment and quickly locked the door behind him. He just had another day of being ignored by the populace, except for that occasional spitter.
"You look tired Naruto-kun, you should probably sit down."
Naruto froze and turned slowly to face whoever was in his apartment. He starred wide-eyed at the silver haired teenager that was lounging on his sofa. Kabuto, however, just smirked. He loved playing the villain.
"Who are you?" he asked in fear.
"I am Kabuto and my master would like to see you for a" his smirk grew more dangerous "experiment."
Naruto barely got out a "What" before Kabuto jammed the needle into his neck. The last thing he saw was a grinning Kabuto.

"Any problems Kabuto?" Orochimaru asked examining the unconscious Naruto for any physical defects or problems with his chakra. Everything was written for future reference with his experiments.
"No, his guards" he used the terms guards loosely and with a sneer "weren't anywhere near him. You would think that the people of the village would care about someone with the potential to kill them all."
Orochimaru nodded slightly, barely listening, as he finished writing his notes into the clipboard. "Prepare the bow and arrow and the examination table. I want to finish this experiment as quickly as possible; we need to move to a new base." Kabuto nodded and left the room. There was work to do.

Naruto's eyes opened slowly under the harsh lights of the room. His head was killing him and the creepy pale guy that was uncomfortable close wasn't helping. "AAAHHHHHHH!"
Orochimaru jumped back at the brutal scream. He waited for the screams to stop as Naruto settled for looking terrified, strapped to the upright table. "Have you calmed down Naruto-kun?"
"Wh-who are you?"
"I am Orochimaru. Now, do you know why you are here?
He looked around the strange looking room. It was clean and filled with lots of machinery whose purpose was lost on Naruto. The only thing that seemed out of place was an old looking bow and arrow. "He" gesturing to Kabuto with his head "said you wanted to see me for an experiment."
"That is correct. Now" His smile grew more sadistic "hold still." Orochimaru notched the arrow into the bow and shot it Naruto. Years of being a shinobi had done him good as the arrow hit Naruto straight through the heart.
Naruto gasped in pain at the arrow sticking through his chest. Then he felt a strange sensation began to spread out from the arrow wound and he began to convulse.
Orochimaru watched with detached interest as the young jinchuriki began to show the same symptoms as the others who had been cut by the arrow. Then gradually his struggles slowed and he lay back against the table.
Kabuto went and checked the pulse of the prone boy "Dead."
Orochimaru sighed and said "Just throw the body out into the forest; we need to get to the new base."
"And the bow and arrow?" Kabuto inquired while grasping the arrow he had just pulled out of Naruto's body.
"Destroy it. If I can't use it, I don't want anybody else figuring out how to."
Kabuto nodded, grabbed the body off the table, and made his way to the door.

Kabuto laid Naruto out onto the forest floor. He felt something wrong with the dead body. He laid his head on to the corpse's chest and heard it.
Bah-bump, bah-bump, bah-bump
The heart beat was as clear as day. Kabuto gently poked his finger through the hole in Naruto's shirt and felt for the wound. It was gone, no indication it had ever been there.
Kabuto smiled to himself "You are very interesting, aren't you Naruto."
He picked up the bow and arrow "Still no reason for me to keep these around, I don't plan on testing to see if I live through the strain. But seeing what effect this had on you will be interesting because I have a strange feeling that we are going to meet again."
He left leaving the unconscious Naruto there.
2 hours later
Naruto gasped, desperately taking oxygen into his lungs as he awoke. He rolled over and pushed his way onto his knees. The middle of a strange forest was terrifying for a 7 year old, but Naruto had nowhere else to go, so he made his way further in the forest.
He was walking for hours before he gradually felt a figure standing beside him. He looked at it and it looked at him. He moved his right arm; it moved its right arm. Every move he made, it copied.
Confusion evident on his face he asked "Are you… me?"
It nodded its head in confirmation and then shook it no. Even more confused Naruto asked the first thing that came to mind "What are you?"
The figure slowly stuck its arm out and touched Naruto's shoulder. The hand sunk into Naruto's body and Naruto felt the creature's energy disperse into his body. "So you're… part of me." At this the creature nodded furiously. "Alright" Naruto said still very confused "Well, let's find our way out of this stupid forest." Naruto and the figure made their way through the forest. Uzumaki Naruto had awakened his stand.

Thought of this story after reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I have a couple ideas for Naruto's stand, so I'm putting up a poll for you guys to pick. I will also accept ideas for stands. Put the name and powers for the stand. Please use a name themed after a song or band to match with the naming scheme of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The poll for the pairing of Descendent of Rave is still up.
