"You will be the first. The first of 300 students to go through this experiment to create the perfect solider. You are creating history, right here in the heart of Konoha! Quite the exciting moment don't you agree Naruto?"
The child looked around in wonder, marveling at all the incredible technology around him his eyes sparkling under the bright lights. The blond haired youth couldn't contain his excitement at the prospect of this…experiment. He was bouncing in his chair and gripping it as hard as he could, like he was choking an enemy ninja. The widest grin was plastered on his whiskered face, not once looking or paying attention to the women in front of him.
"Naruto? Naruto? NARUTO!" The women shouted and slammed a metal rod on the table next to her at last gaining the attention of the child, for a moment at least.
"Yeah, yeah! I hear ya granny! When am I gonna become one of those super cool warriors you always drone on about huh? Am I gonna go on top secret missions to save a princess? Blow up an enemy base?! Or…or…huh! Are you gonna send me too retrieve the most perfect ramen recipe in the world?!" The child couldn't contain his excitement any longer and jumped out of his chair, trying to strike a pose but failing miserably tripping over his feet and landing on his face. He gave a brief grunt of pain as he laid there, still grinning like mad.
The women gave a long sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head.
"No Naruto. You will not be going on any mission to retrieve a stupid recipe for some silly noodles, what I have planned for you and your comrades is much, much, more important than that. PROJECT: SENSHI will be Konoha's greatest achievement in the near 100 years its roots has stood tall! Or that's the plan at least…"
The women mumbled to herself, looking off at the ground not wanting to meet the eyes of the child in front of her.
"Huh? What was that granny?" Asked Naruto, digging his pinky into his ear.
"Oh nothing Naruto, nothing. Now of course like any good solider one must undergo training, but for my little fox to succeed there is one thing you must be outfitted with."
"Yeah? What's that?"
The women gave a small smile at the prospect of the question, knowing her little protégé would explode with excitement from her answer.
"Why your Artificial Intelligence of course!"
"NO WAY! REALLY?!"
The women chuckled at Naruto, starting to walk away from him. "Just follow me Naruto and we'll get it implanted for you within the hour."
"Oh hell yeah! I bet stupid old Sasuke doesn't have one of these yet, huh?"
"No. No he does not." She smirked, mulling over the possibilities to manipulate his rivalry with the black haired Uchiha. Now hurry along child it is rude to keep others waiting, especially for a moment as important as this."
"I'm comin, I'm comin!" Naruto said, jumping off the floor and chasing after his mentor.
A few hours later…
"Is everything prepared?" Asked the same women, entering a large room with various equipment overlooking another, larger room as a fast asleep Naruto laid on an operating table.
"All systems are at 100%, security seals have been placed and triple-checked, and the subject is now in a deep sleep caused by the anesthetic." Replied a man in a white jonin's uniform.
"And the containment seals? In case He gets out?"
"They've been placed, refined, refined again, replaced, and quadrupled checked by a class zero seal master."
"Excellent! Then let us begin the procedure." Said the women, a smile coming to her face.
"Ma'am, do you think this is entirely wise? I mean we are waking up a 1,000 year old, possibly even more, rampant A.I. that almost annihilated our village. And we're trying to integrate it into his brain? What if…what if it takes control?"
The women gave a long sigh at her assistant, the room being dead silent as the other workers stopped and gaped at their outspoken coworker.
"I swear the idiots they assign me…" She mumbled. "I know what I'm doing Mr.…"
"Takeda ma'am."
"Takede." The young man frowned at the obvious mispronunciation of his name. "I have done my research on Kurama quite extensively and I have a contingency for the worst case scenario. They don't call me the greatest technological mind of my generation for nothing."
"But Dr. Halsey-"
"I said I know what I'm doing. Now shut up and get back to work." Catherine Halsey gave a glare worthy of an Uchiha at her assistant, working as effectively as it could, her worker turning back and fine-tuning the equipment one more time.
"Now look alive people! Don't forget we have an audience here with us…" Halsey said, her eyes turning briefly towards the window above them where 4 figures stood, all but one shrouded in darkness. The single one in the light wearing a large pointy hat and white robes.
Dr. Catherine Halsey looked back towards the operation room just as her assistants gave the signal to start the procedure, not noticing a grinning orange fox head appear for a nanosecond on her data pad.
Authors Note:Just an idea I had for a Sci-fi!Naruto with a slight Halo crossover, the only references to the game being Dr. Halsey and the Spartan Program. In this story the Naruto world was formally our very own and the Sage of Six Paths created everything in the world through science and technology. Bloodlines are a mixture of different genes and selective breeding, summons are just robots with advanced AI, chakra was created to extend the lives of humans, and the tailed beast are fragments of a more advanced rampant AI. I might continue this if enough people like it so tell me what you think!
