Experiment by Lightning Bob
I don't own Naruto or much else actually. Finally the experiments are going to be revealed and all the cookies go to for getting half of the experiments right! Congratulations! Now on with the story.
Chapter 2 - Trouble
A few hours after the discovery of Orochimaru's evil doing to the people of his own village the Yondaime had gathered the many families and clans that had at least one member taken by the traitor for his experiments. Among them were the Hyuuga, Uchiha, Aburame, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka, Haruno, and his own wife who was representing his family, the Namikaze. The ANBU investigation squad had quickly searched the snakes lair and disabled all traps and gave the current Hokage a report of what they had found thus far and went back to giving Orochimaru's notes a more thorough investigation. The reason they had given Minato the rushed report was because it had to do with the newborn and unborn children that were "test subjects" for the man, including his unborn son.
Walking in front of the crowd of people Minato cleared his throat to gather their attention which was quickly given. "I've called you all here because we have all had family and clan members disappear mysteriously over the past year and a half and recently the answer was uncovered." At this point most of the crowd started whispering to each other until Jiraiya yelled for them to shut up and listen. "The answer to the disappearances is Orochimaru who was using them for selfish gain among other reasons." Now this time there were cries of outrage from the people demanding for proof that one of their own would do such things while others broke out in tears (mostly women) and demanded his head (mostly men). "Each of your clans will be compensated for each member involved as well as a proper funeral for those members. Now I would like a few of you to stay for more pressing matters that involve you. Hyuuga Hiashi and Hyuuga Hizashi with their wives, Aburame Shiba and his wife, Akimichi Chouza, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi and your wives, Namikaze Misaki, Higirashi Tenso and his wife, Uchiha Fugaku and his wife, Haruno Ki and his wife, Inuzuka Tsube, and Maito Gai. Please come with me, the rest of you may go home, I hope that you may be able to sleep better knowing now that your loved ones will find a decent final resting place."
Once the crowd dispersed with the sounds of crying women and the mumbling of men of what they want to do to Orochimaru, the small gathering of people told to stay followed the Yondaime into the room normally held for village council meetings where they sat waiting for what he has to tell them away from the rest of the public.
"Now I'm sure that you are all wondering why I had called you all here and the reason for that is to help our children succeed in life. Most of us are shinobi families and with Orochimaru's alterations to our children it would be best for them to become shinobi as well if they would b able to control and learn how to use their 'gifts'. Now after looking over these reports I see that the Inuzuka, Aburame, Akimichi, and Nara clans skills will benefit their children almost perfectly. As for Hiashi's daughter, Chouza, would you mind helping her train? And Gai could you train Lee?" At their nods he continued. " As for the rest we're going to need some help training them to use their gifts so I'm going to send some ANBU out to recruit instructors for the children. Jiraiya, you're going with them. Now here's what information we have that we took from Orochimaru's notes about the 'gifts' he gave our children to help you understand and help them later." As an ANBU hands each family a few papers. "For now we can't do much more than care for our children and help them grow, I'm sure they will come under scrutiny from the rest of the village because of their connection to Orochimaru but we'll work through that. Now you're all dismissed and oyasumi nasai."
The next day three squads of ANBU plus Jiraiya left Konoha in search of the tutors for the children. Minato was hidden behind the stacks of paperwork that were on his desk The children that were used as experiments were being tended to by their parents and the last two who were not yet born were preparing to survive in the outside world. Else where there were similar problems, the Kazekage had been contacted by the Hokage about what had happened in Konohagakure as well as what the traitors notes that were of concern to him. His own children were also tampered with and that explained the odd things about them. His eldest child and only daughter, Temari had bird like wings though had yet to achieve flight, the middle child and elder brother, Kankuro, had odd seals all over his body since birth that they haven't found the purpose or function of yet. The youngest of the three, Gaara, had also been experimented on and is half tanukiwith ears, tail, and claws of the creature as well as some connection with sand.
Orochimaru was quickly wanted in both the Land of Fire and Wind as well as Earth from his part of the Iwa/Konoha war. In the Land of Water Kaguya Keigo, Head of the Kaguya clan was approached by two squads of ANBU lead by Jiraiya and was given a scroll to read.
"To the Head of the clan of Kaguya, the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure, Namikaze Minato, wish to offer you and your entire clan a place you may call home. There is also a matter that may concern you, it has recently come to our attention that one of our own shinobi has betrayed us and given the Kekkai Genkai of your clan to a child while she was still within the womb. Many other families have also been wronged by this man and call for his blood as I am sure you are now. This man is called Orochimaru and is currently on the run and is to be killed on sight in both the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. If you wish to pursue this man then I request that you bring your clan to Konohagakure and a reasonable plot of land will be given to your clan as long as you give your loyalty to the village. We also request that you train the child to utilize your clans Kekkai Genkai to the fullest. We promise that we will kill the man who has wronged so many and wish for your participation."
"Orochimaru...that man was here before, Jiraiya. He said he was interested in our abilities. Perhaps we will accept this offer and restore our honor and kill him. I wish to speak to your Hokage about this when we arrive." Keigo says after reading over the scroll and giving it some thought.
"Arigato, Kaguya-dono. This squad of ANBU will escort you and your clan to the village and take you to speak with Hokage-sama." Jiraiya says bowing deeply before signaling one of the teams to stay. "I'm sorry I could not stay to escort you myself but I have others to locate and bring back to the village including Tsunade, she could give your entire clan a check up and help any who are sick."
"Very well, we shall leave tomorrow at sunrise. You may go complete your mission." Keigo says calmly before turning away to speak with the rest of the clan. Jiraiya and the last squad leapt away while the remaining squad followed after Keigo.
Meanwhile the other ANBU squad ran into a waist high golden nine tailed kitsune that was walking with a green serpentine dragon with wings and two legs and a golden mane from it's head to its tail. Dropping in front of the pair the ANBU bowed on one knee presenting a scroll. Needless to say the pair were surprised but took the scroll and unrolled it to read it's contents. Shortly after finishing the pair simply nodded to the three shinobi and ran off in the direction of Konoha.
A few days earlier (about the time this story started), a blond woman with a young dark haired girl at her side won her third jackpot that day causing the young girl to make up an excited dance as the tokens fell into the pots at her feet. The blond frowned, sure it was nice to win for once but it usually meant something bad happened or was about to happen. The winning streak continued for four weeks at every casino and gambling house she stopped at before she walked into a bar and spotted a very familiar head of spiky white hair and sat next to him ordering a bottle of sake.
"Ah, Tsunade, good to see you. I've heard ov your little winning streak, must've won millions." Jiraiya says before downing his whole saucer of sake.
"What are you doing here Jiraiya? Please don't tell me something bad happened in the village." Tsunade says sipping her own sake.
"Unfortunately yes." sip "Orochimaru abandoned the village and by now I'm sure Minato's kid is born but we have a lot of problems that require your expertise." Handing a scroll with the information uncovered from the raid.
Tsunade's eye's widened as she read what her former teammate did before closing them in frustration and downing half the bottle at once. "At least it's a decent reason for me to return to the village. We'll go back in the morning, Shizune-chan is sleeping in our hotel room."
"Thanks Tsunade-hime, I'll send the ANBU ahead of us tonight and I'll go with you. For now let's just drink to good times ahead and hope that Oro-teme get's what's coming to him soon."
"That's something I'll drink to." Tsunade says as they both tip the bottles down their throghts and drank long into the night.
