Alright guys here is the next chapter of Dawn. So far I have gotten good reviews. The only negative reviews I have received only concerns Naruto's disability to use chakra.
Sigh. Apparently those who complained about it didn't read on, but just stopped reading all together. Naruto can use chakra, he just can't use it the way he is now. And plus when have you ever seen Naruto use any kind of jutsu at the age he is, hell, Sasuke could only use the Fireball jutsu, and it took him hours to do that.
Bottom line, just don't jump to conclusions and review, especially if its something negative because that only serves to piss me off. If you keep reading like a good reader, then you will find out what really is the case.
But if you just stop at half of the first chapter, then you will never find out -_-
Give a story a good three chapters before you decide not to continue reading. That's what I do, it really tells you if you like the story or not.
Anyway, enough of that. Now on to my challenge. So none of you got it right. But one person said it would have been nice if I gave some kind of hint, which I didn't and that's my fault. So I will come up with another challenge soon with the same reward, and hopefully I'll remember what the hint was.
Okay, so I guess its time to move on with the story.
Chapter two
An eleven year Naruto made his way through the dark tunnels, on his way to Danzo's office. The blonde was dressed in his usual training outfit, considering he just finished his daily spar with Hinata and Sai. For three years, he and his team have been constantly training. The only time they had break was during the day at the academy.
To Naruto and his team, the academy was the greatest place on earth. They were able to socialize and make friends with other kids, play with them as well.
Not to mention, they were able to actually use the emotions that they were forbidden to use during training. It gave them a chance to express themselves, and out of all of them, Naruto was the happiest.
He made friends with almost every single boy in the class. He was rivals with few however. Sasuke Uchiha was one in particular. The boy saw him as a rival, though Naruto didn't. He could easily kill the Uchiha heir but didn't.
Another boy he was rivals with was Kiba Inuzuka, though he unlike Sasuke, Naruto was friends with him. The two were always causing mayhem during school hours. Whether it was pulling pranks or slacking in class, they did it together.
The blonde was also popular within the female populace within his class. He had many fangirls which were almost equal to as many fangirls Sasuke had. Though Naruto didn't ignore his fan girls, instead he welcomed their advances with open arms most of the time.
However it was usually Hinata who told them to back off or she would maim them. Hinata was another person Naruto saw as his best friend.
Hinata was cold, and blunt most of the time. She spoke her mind, even if what she thought was rude to others she still did it, and dared anyone to say something about it.
However, instead of being gossiped about and ignored, Hinata was also given attention by those in the class too. She was someone the girls wanted to befriend, and the guys wanted to get at. Kiba being the main one.
Sai wasn't as social as Naruto or Hinata. He was quiet and usually kept to himself. But the kids loved his artwork, and enjoyed engaging in conversations with him. The pale boy would usually be seen hanging around with Shino Aburame or speaking with Shikamaru and Chouji.
Bottom line the past three years have changed the once emotionless children who only followed Danzo's orders. And they still did in fact. Whenever school was over, the three would hang with their friends for a certain amount of time before heading to base and continuing their training. All emotions were locked up till the next morning.
But the kids gaining a social life isn't the only thing that happened during the past three years. The Uchiha massacre took place about a year in during the academy.
Only Sasuke, and his mother Mikoto were left alive. The one who caused the massacre was Itachi Uchiha, the older brother of Sasuke and Anbu captain. He was the heir of the Uchiha, and was considered a genius. Now he is on the run ranked an S-rank criminal.
He scarred Sasuke for life, and giving the boy a goal to achieve. To gain power and kill his older brother. Mikoto was spared due to being on a mission that required her and another group of jounin's attention.
Kakashi hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Might Gai and Mikoto were assigned to check out the grave robbery of one of the late twelve ninja guardians. The mission took a good week, and they weren't successful.
Mikoto was beyond shocked to come home to an empty compound and her son in the hospital in a coma. Since then she has been training non-stop to protect her son, who now just ignores her.
Naruto shook his head, shaking those thoughts off before he kneeled and waited to be acknowledged, since he reached his destination.
"You may enter." Was the voice of his master. Naruto did so and stood at attention as Danzo was going over paperwork, with an impassive look.
"You are most likely wondering why I have called you here, aren't you, Naruto?" The ROOT leader asked. Naruto just nodded but kept silent.
"Tell me Naruto, your birthday is a week from now, yes?" Danzo stated, earning a nod as his answer. "You will be turning twelve, yes?" Danzo asked. Naruto gave another nod.
"I am taking you on a trip. The result of this trip will increase your abilities to new levels. It will take about a week to arrive, and when we do, it will be the tenth of October. The Hokage has already approved of this trip, and has funded the project you will be undergoing." Danzo stated, and for a brief moment, a flicker of confusion took place on Naruto's face.
"You may speak your mind Uzumaki." Danzo allowed. Naruto gave a small nod before he spoke.
"I wasn't aware I was going through any projects Danzo-sama. May I ask what the results of this project will bring me?" Naruto wondered. Danzo nodded, answering the boy's question.
"You weren't aware because I didn't feel it was necessary at that point in time. It is now, hence why are finding out now," Danzo paused, earning a nod of understanding.
"The results of this project are…unknown to me as well. Each recipient goes through different effects. However all I know is that each sense is boosted, your natural skills too. We will learn more once we arrive." Danzo informed.
As Naruto gave a nod, Danzo continued to speak. "We leave tomorrow morning. Inform your team you will be absent for some time. And get packing." Danzo ordered.
Naruto bowed to his master before he left the room. As he walked the halls, he ran into Hinata who was leaning against the wall waiting for him.
"What did Danzo-sama need you for?" She asked with her usual blunt attitude. Naruto sighed then spoke.
"Danzo-sama has enrolled me into some kind of project. When he did it is beyond me. But I'm going with him tomorrow morning and won't be back till after the tenth." Naruto informed. Hinata glanced at him before looking forward again.
"Alright then, I'll tell Sai, you get ready. And Naruto," Hinata called as the two stopped at two way tunnel. Naruto looked at his friend to see she was giving him a determined look.
"Don't get your goofy ass killed alright?" Hinata smirked. Naruto just chuckled before shaking his head.
"Alright Hinata-chan." Naruto smiled a real smile before he turned and left. Hinata's smirk turned into a small frown as she stared after her friend.
With a sigh, she turned the other way to go tell Sai what was going on.
The next morning, Naruto was walking with Danzo and the mans two bodyguards. The young boy wore a similar black poncho that everyone else wore. Underneath the poncho though was a black Anbu outfit, though he wore a black high collared short sleeved shirt that Mikoto gave him last night when he ran into her. Strapped to his back was his own short katana, due to his height.
The group was walking through the forest and heading to the border of fire country, Naruto didn't know where they would go from there. Though, he wasn't willing to ask.
And since he didn't expect for conversation to be made he let his mind wander. The subject he let his mind wander too was Mikoto Uchiha, the mother of Sasuke.
He has been spending a lot of time with her after the academy, and grew close to her. Naruto caught notice how Sasuke ignored her one day and decided to see if he could cheer her up. Ever since then the two nearly spent every day with each other doing whatever.
Mikoto kind of filled in the role of his mother but not quite. Though he wasn't sure, he thinks Mikoto saw him as a son. But Naruto just figured they were good friends.
The Uchiha women would teach him techniques from time to time, help him with his training, the training Sasuke refused from her. If they weren't training then they would just be hanging around the village, having conversations.
Due to those conversations, Naruto was able to deduce that Mikoto was a lonely person; even before the massacre. She told him stories of her life before marrying Fugaku. It was filled with laughter with her best friend Kushina, who Naruto thought was a cool person from the stories Mikoto told. But she would never tell Naruto her last name which was strange to him, but he let it be.
But then when her uncle the clan head at the time, Kagami Uchiha was dying, she was forced to be the next head. Naruto was confused at that logic but she explained it to him.
Her parents died when she was a little girl and her uncle took her in, and since he didn't have any kids at the time she took role as his daughter, hence being the clan heir. Kagami later had a son when Mikoto was 17, Shisui Uchiha.
Though it wasn't too long after when Kagami started to die, and Mikoto was forced to marry Fugaku and bear him a child within three years time.
Naruto learned she did bear Fugaku's child a year later, Itachi, who grew up to become best of friends with Shisui who just two years older than him. He also learned Mikoto cared little for Fugaku, who didn't really care much for her, so it was a loveless marriage.
And due to it being a loveless marriage, she was alone most of the time, being a housewife. It was occasionally that she got to go on missions, but it was usually high ranking missions that she was called for.
Naruto didn't feel pity for her. He admired her for her strong will. Instead of fully succumbing to the loneliness, she perceived, allowing her children to push her forward. And even though her clan was wiped out, and only her selfish inconsiderate son remained, she still kept her head up.
The blondes thoughts were interrupted when his senses alerted him of the Shuriken that were honing in on his groups position. The blonde quickly brought out shuriken and threw them in different directions that deflected the opposing.
"It seems we have visitors. Naruto, take care of them for us will you?" Danzo asked. Naruto nodded in response.
"Hai, Danzo-sama." The young boy said before he disappeared. The blonde reappeared in a tree branch, behind one of the assilants. Naruto didn't bother informing the man he was there, he just plunged the kunai in the back of his head before he quickly moved to another branch and repeating the process.
Both bodies fell from the trees with a thud, and Naruto hopped down as well, walking towards his master. But as he walked his ears twitched and he threw a kunai to the far left which impacted with something. A moment later, another body fell forward, the kunai imbedded within the head.
Naruto stayed still to make sure there was no more, and once he was sure he continued on. A nod of a approval was his praise from Danzo before they continued on.
Danzo gave a small twisted smile as they walked. A powerful weapon he would have indeed.
One week later; Unknown Island
The group of ROOT stepped off of the boat that transported them to the strange island in the middle of the ocean between Earth and Lightning Country. The trip was eventful in some cases.
They were mainly hassled by thugs or low rank missing ninja but it was mainly Naruto who took care of the threats, much to Danzo's satisfaction. It showed that Naruto was capable of handling real life threats, and that his training was actually paying off.
The island the group was one was for thing big, and far out, really far out. It took them a day and a couple of hours just to arrive. The island had a jungle terrain, though most of it was fenced off. However they could hear the howls, screeches, and roars of animals. It interested Naruto, but he kept it on a low; only giving glances here and there.
When they arrived on the island they were met by two people who were wearing some kind of strange armor and helmets. Almost similar to the armor that the Samurai of Iron country wore, but not quite. Naruto wasn't that interested to really care though.
The two just nodded at Danzo and began walking, the group following their lead. As they walked Naruto felt a little on edge, as if he was being watched. His hands moved over to his weapon pouch, but he heard Danzo speak, giving his attention to his master.
"Calm yourself Naruto. These animals are caged in and are watched reguraly. There is no need to be on edge." Danzo assured him. Naruto gave a small frown before adjusting his hands.
"Hai, Danzo-sama." The blonde muttered. The two adults behind Naruto and Danzo glanced to the sides as well before looking back forward.
Naruto's eyes widened a bit once he saw the large metal fortress that they were approaching. It was almost like a castle, though he could see guards patrolling around, on the bottom, middle and top level of the fortress. Some were even on what Naruto guessed to be Kunai turrets, mainly pointed at the jungle.
The blonde boy's attention was soon given to the large metal doors that opened, and a single man wearing a white lab coat coming out.
The man was middle aged with short cropped brown hair, with short bangs that swept to the side. He had fair skin, and wore round shaped glasses. He had a five o'clock shadow, and his eyes were a light green. Besides the white lab coat he wore, underneath he wore black dress pants and a green shirt and black tie. Instead of sandals, he wore closed toed boots.
The man walked up to the group who stopped. The guards that escorted them before moved to the sides, standing at attention. The man nodded to the guards before walking up the Danzo. Naruto stood at alert at a glare but remained still and silent.
"Danzo Shimura, it's a surprise to see you here after so long." The man stated with a friendly tone as he shook hands with Danzo who nodded.
"It has been a long time." Danzo nodded in agreement. The man chuckled before he looked at the three that accompined him. The two adults stood at attention, as if waiting for orders. However his attention was then given to the young boy that was by Danzo's side.
"And who do we have here? You're brining children with you now Danzo-san?" The man asked with a smirk. Danzo gave a small nod before he dug into his pocket and pulled out a white envelope.
The man raised a brow before he took the envelope and opened it. He read the contents for what seemed to be like minutes. Once he was done he looked towards Naruto then at Danzo. The ROOT leader gave a nod, causing the man to give a small smirk.
His green eyes turned to Naruto and he held out his hand.
"Doctor David Nakamura, and you are young lad?" The doctor asked. Naruto glanced at Danzo who gave another nod. With his permission granted, Naruto shook the man's hand.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." The boy informed. Nakamura's smirk widened as he shook the boys hand. Once the greeting was over the doctor ordered for the group to follow him inside. As soon as they stepped inside the metal doors slid shut, and a click was heard.
Naruto instantly took in the scent in the fortress and scrunched his nose in disgust. He didn't know what exactly the name of the smell was, but it smelled like a hospital, and he hated hospitals.
"I'm surprised that Hokage-dono would go to such lengths to ensure Konoha's strength and safety. But then again, I shouldn't be since Konoha and every other villages use children to fight for them." Nakamura chuckled.
"Every measure we take is for Konoha. No matter the cost." Danzo stated. Nakamura nodded as they walked through the white halls. Naruto looked around to see glass windows, and within those windows were people wearing white lab suits, doing different kinds of work.
Some were working in a lab mixing potions, others were dissecting some kind of…thing. It was all strange to not only Naruto, but the adults behind him too. Danzo and Nakamura seemed impassive by this, as if they were used to it.
Nakamura took a right, and continued walking till he pushed open a set of doors. The group following him walked in as well. Naruto blinked as he realized they were on another level, since there was white railing. As they walked, he looked past the railing to see there were people down there, working on some kind of machine.
The machine was like some kind of large canon. Next to the machine was another item that resembled an oven; though, inside the oven was something glowing green.
Naruto turned back forward when they came to a stop, and Danzo greeted more people who were working at computers. Nakamura took a seat and rolled to his desk. Two more people in similar white lab coats stood around him, a man and woman.
The second man had neck length black hair with a full beard and dark blue eyes. He also wore black dress pants, but he wore dark blue shirt and red tie. Naruto heard Danzo call him Doctor Sheard.
The woman looked around her mid or late twenties. She had brown hair that was tied into a top bun with a bang framing the right side of her face. She had sky blue eyes, similar to Naruto's own. She wore a dark blue skirt with a tucked in red shirt, and black heels. She was actually considered pretty to Naruto. He also heard Danzo call her Doctor Jewels.
"Naruto, come here." Danzo ordered. The blonde boy did so without question, moving to stand by his master. "I want you to go with Doctor Jewels and do whatever she tells you too, understand?" Danzo asked. Naruto gave a nod, with the usual 'Hai, Danzo-sama.'
Jewels gave Naruto a charming smile, "Come with me sweetie." Naruto nodded before following the pretty lady. Once the two were gone Nakamura gave Danzo a look.
"Alright, so do you know what's going to happen?" The man asked, as he and Sheard gave him a look. Danzo gave a small nod.
"Young Naruto, will gain new abilities, as well increase the ones he has…." However he was interrupted by Sheard who spoke up.
"Yes, but that might not be the case. This project might result in his death. Or he could be crippled, but into a coma etc. There are a lot of variables that come into play with this Danzo. You and Hiruzen are hoping for the boy to become a great weapon, when in reality, he may become the bane to Konoha's existence." Sheard said seriously.
"So you're telling me this won't be a success?" Danzo opened his eye, narrowing it at the two doctors. Nakamura shook his head, in response.
"We're not saying that at all…well actually we are. You see Danzo, this project as a 45% success rate. The other 55% doesn't always result in death. Like Sheard said, it might result in something totally different from what you were hoping. And with the entity that Naruto possess within himself, that success rate just dropped to 25%. We don't know what this project will do to Naruto." Nakamura explained.
"But we are not saying that what your hoping for is not possible. As long as there is more than a 10% success rate, there is still a chance. Not a big chance, but still a chance." Sheard added, Nakamura agreeing with him.
"So before we just throw young Naruto under the machine, we need to go over his entire anatomy. And it says here, you two also plan on having him going under the A.H project as well right?" Nakamura clarified as he re-read the letter.
Danzo nodded, causing Sheard to shake his head with a sigh. Nakamura hummed as he tapped his chin. He glanced to his colleague, then back at Danzo.
"While Jewels is inspecting Naruto, I need you to tell us about the boy. We need to know about his personality, quirks, habits, things like that. Because if we put him under that machine," Nakamura gestured to the large cannon like mechanism.
"Things are either going to be amplified, or it will destroy him." Nakamura finished. Danzo sighed as he took a seat and began speaking about one his most favored starred pupils.
With Naruto
While his master was speaking with the doctors, Naruto was with Jewels who opened a door to a room. She allowed him to walk in first, and he realized it was a simple room; a check up bed, a scale, a computer, the whole nine yards.
"Alright Naruto-kun, can you please remove whatever items you have on you. That includes weapons and such." Jewels smiled as she turned around to type something into her computer.
Naruto gave a nod as he took of his cloak. He then took off the vest, his shirt as well, only leaving him in his pants. He un-buckled the belt that carried his projectiles, unclipped his short sword. Afterwards he took off his boots, and set all the items on the bed.
Jewels turned around and gave a small sweat drop at all the weapons and such Naruto carried on him. "A little overboard don't you think?" Naruto simply shook his head.
"I must be always ready to protect Danzo-sama." Naruto answered. Jewels remained quiet before telling him to step on the scale, which he did.
"So I'm guessing your always on edge, looking out to protect Danzo right?" Jewels asked, earning a nod from Naruto. She pursed her lips and tried balancing out the scale, while measuring how tall he was.
"Wow, 5'5. That's pretty tall for a boy your age." Jewels commented. Naruto nodded a small smirk on his face.
"Yeah, Kiba is always ranting on about how short he is compared to me. But it's difficult being this tall because Iruka-sensei can always…" Naruto then shut his mouth, causing Jewels to look at him funny.
"What's wrong Naruto?" She wondered. The blonde shook his head, before he spoke.
"I'm not supposed to tell people what I do outside of training. Danzo-sama will get mad if I do." Naruto muttered. Jewels frowned before speaking.
"Well, it's okay if you do right now. Danzo is back down the hall. He won't know unless you tell." Jewels grinned.
Naruto blinked in surprise before he smiled as well.
20 minutes later
Both Jewels and Naruto came back to the group who were waiting for them. Nakamura groaned as he saw his colleague finally return.
"The hell took you so long?" The man demanded. Jewels rolled her eyes as she handed Nakamura the clipboard with all of Naruto's information on it.
"I was doing all needed to do to get what we need." Jewels told him. Nakamura looked over the notes Jewels took to see she was telling the truth. He nodded before telling Naruto to come over.
Once he did, the doctor told him he would need a fresh pint of his blood. Naruto looked at Danzo who nodded. Giving out his arm, Nakamura accepted it and drew a pint of Naruto's blood which took a few minutes.
"Alright, this will take us all night for us to analyze and do what doctors do. So, I will have on of the guards escort you all to different rooms. You will be summoned once we need something." Nakamura stated.
And with that the group was led away. Jewels waved to Naruto with a smile, and the blonde gave a small smile and wave back before he left with Danzo.
The next afternoon
The next afternoon, Danzo was having a conversation with Nakamura and Sheard, while Jewels was keeping Naruto company by giving him the tour of the fortress. The two other ROOT agents were by Danzo's side as always.
"So we went over all the information you gave us. And I have to say, it's something." Nakamura chuckled. Danzo raised a brow till Sheard explained.
"Last night, we had a meeting with almost all the staff in our department. We discussed the possibilities and variables, concerning Naruto…"
"We even came up with a chart!" Nakamura pointed out, interrupting Sheard whose left eye started to twitch. "If you look here we have all the things that could go right with Naruto, and then all the things that could go wrong." Nakamura informed.
Danzo took a look at it, to see they were both the same length in amount. Before he could question this Nakamura continued.
"Now while I could go on and on about what will happen, I'll just put it in simplest terms. Right now, Naruto is already considered someone who will become a person who above normal. With the Kyuubi within him, it's already factor," Nakamura shrugged.
"But if we put him under the machine and it is a success. He WILL be considered a Super human, guaranteed. Sheard, explain to Danzo what will be enhanced and how much it will be." Nakamura smirked, crossing his arms.
Sheard rolled his eyes before he spoke. "Naruto's five senses will increase dramatically. From the information you told us, right now from a scale from one to ten, his sense would be put considered, a 6. If this succeeds, he will be higher than a ten," Sheard started.
"He will almost be like a mix breed between an animal and a human, and that is without the Kyuubi variable. His speed and strength will skyrocket, so much so, he is most likely going to have to wear limiters to do so. His elemental control will also be boosted…."
"Like I said, Super human!" Nakamura grinned. Sheard sighed with a roll of his eyes. He really hated being interrupted.
"Yes, this sounds great and all, but will there be any side effects that I must know of? What use is all this power, if it is no good to me. He might turn against me or something in the future, these are things I need to know." Danzo explained with a serious tone.
"Yes yes, we understand that. And were getting to that," Nakamura stated, trying to calm Danzo down.
"Now, we analyzed the pint of blood we took from Naruto. And since it was fresh we were able to deduce some things. Now the boy is what twelve? This is the start when a boy his age starts going through puberty. But, due to the Kyuubi, his hormones started to get out of wack about half a year ago. Meaning he has already been going through puberty." Nakamura explained.
"You were able to get that from just a pint of blood?" Danzo asked. Nakamura laughed at him shaking his head.
"I wish, no we were able to get that from Jewels who told us when she did her inspection. Your star pupil is an early bloomer." Nakamura chuckled. Danzo grunted in response.
"Anyway, one of the side affects is that his control over his hormones is going to loosen. His libido is going to increase dramatically. It might not happen right after, but it definitely will happen." Nakamura told him.
"He also might not be able to gain a good grip over his emotions like he has now. He might succumb to his anger more quickly than usual. Also his thought process will increase as well. He will tend to think things more through, having the IQ of a Nara." Sheard added.
"He will also have a strong desire for whatever he wants. Whether it be food, training, women, blood, it doesn't matter. Oh and that's another thing. His lust for blood will increase as well too. And lastly the pherenomes he gives off will rise as well, which goes hand in hand with his libido." Nakamura added.
"So bottom line, he will be a horny, blood lusting, smart ass, low tempered motherfucker." Nakamura stated bluntly. Sheard once again rolled his eyes before adding his own comment.
"But be aware these are only possibilities. None of this might not happen. He could be the most dumbest, yet happiest person on earth who thinks being abstinent is the best thing in the entire world. These are all possibilities." Sheard reminded.
Danzo remained silent for a few moments as he pondered the information he was just given. Both Nakamura and Sheard watched him. The former had an amused expression, and the latter had a grim one.
"And what of the A.H project? Will that do anything to him too besides what is expected?" Danzo wondered.
"We don't know, we haven't gone over that math yet. But before we start talking about that, lets slow down and focus on this first. Besides, Hokage-dono, only put a down payment on this project." Nakamura muttered.
Danzo gave a small grunt as he walked to the railing where the doctors below were working on the machine. He had a deep frown marring his face before he sighed and gave a nod. This was all for Konoha after all.
"Lets continue on with the project. I am aware of the effects this will have to the boy and I am fully ready for what is to come." Danzo stated. Nakamura and Sheard gave each other looks before nodding, the former with a sigh.
Nakamura pressed a button, requesting Jewels to return. After five minutes of waiting for the two to return, they set to work. Jewels' mood turned sour as she was told of what was going to happen. But she hid her emotion and led Naruto down to the second level of the room.
When they finally got down there, Jewels instructed Naruto to take off all the materials he had on him except his pants. He did so, setting everything to the side. Once he was finished he turned to Jewels who had a sad frown on her face. She also had a needle to which she took a sample of his blood.
"What's the matter?" Naruto wondered. Jewels looked at Naruto with a frown. She gazed into his sky blue eyes, which held concern and confusion.
"Nothing Naruto-kun; I'm just upset to what has been going on in your life." Jewels muttered. Naruto blinked in confusion, which caused her to elaborate.
"It's just that you are a sweet smart young boy, but you are surrounded by people who simply lust for power. Instead of caring for you like someone should, people are only using you for their own selfish benefits. I guess…I guess it makes me sad to know that." Jewels confessed.
Naruto frowned before he looked towards Danzo who was speaking with Nakamura. He then looked back towards Jewels who was setting everything up.
"I'm fine with it," Naruto stated. Jewels gave him a confused look before he continued. "I have no purpose, no goal in this life. Before Danzo-sama found me I was nothing. I was alone all the time, on the streets with no food." Naruto whispered in remembrance.
"But then he did. He gave me a reason to live, to be his tool and serve Konoha. He then gave me the opportunity to have a social life and make friends. Before, people would glare at me; but after a few years of hiding in the shadows and resurfacing, they don't. Danzo-sama gave me the chance I never thought I would have, to forge bonds." Naruto smiled.
Jewels gazed at him with slightly wide eyes and surprised look.
"And for that, I'm grateful to Danzo-sama. I will continue to serve him till I die, as that is how a tool should be." Naruto stated. Jewels only frowned deeper before shaking her head.
"Alright, Naruto, I'm going to need you to sit down in the chair." Jewels ordered. Naruto nodded in did so. Once he was situated, Jewels strapped his wrists and ankles down. After that she pressed a button which made a metal clasp appear above his torso, and pin him down. The boy gave a small shiver to how cold it was.
Jewels then pressed another button, which caused the chair to move up vertically so it was as if Naruto was standing up. The boy gazed the cannon, but his attention was then given to Jewels who started speaking, as the other doctors prepared the cannon.
"Okay Naruto-kun, I'm going to explain what's going on. Danzo told you he enrolled you into a project, correct?" Jewels asked, earning a nod from Naruto. "Well the project he enrolled you in is called The Gamma Radiation Project." Jewels revealed.
"This machine here is the Gamma Ray projector. That green glowing substance is a stone that is filled with Gamma energy. Don't ask how we were able to do that, long and complicated story." Jewels grumbled.
"Anyway, we are going to put that stone into the projector and it's going to shoot you with large amount of Gamma waves. These waves WILL change you. We don't know how, but it will. We are hoping that it will be successful, and not a failure which result into negative results." Jewels explained; Naruto just kept nodding, understanding what was going on now.
"I don't know how it feels, but I'm guessing it's going to hurt. The only thing that will help you live, is your will. Whatever it is, use it as a method to survive. Good luck Naruto-kun, I'm glad I got to know you a little bit." Jewels smiled, kissing his forehead.
The blonde gave a small blush before he looked back to the cannon, not an ounce of fear in his eyes.
"Is everything set?" Jewels asked the other doctors who gave nods and yes's. Jewels went to a computer and typed in what she needed too. Once that was done she checked over the cannon to make sure everything was perfect, they couldn't afford to mess things up.
After checking everything twice, she went up stairs to the upper level and guided the doctors on the computers. Sheard, Nakamura and Danzo were standing against the railing, their gazes on young Naruto who continued to look at the cannon.
"Wave power," Jewels demanded.
"100%" was her answer. As she kept listing off, the men against the railing were speaking to each other.
"You know Danzo-san, even though there aren't very many of those who have succeeded through the project, they get their own Weapon lab name. Would you like to give one to young Naruto?" Sheard asked.
"Ooh, what about Weapon Maelstrom?" Nakamura asked. Sheard sighed as he shook his head. Danzo didn't reply, as he was in thought.
"Dawn. Weapon Dawn; as in the Dawn of Konoha's rule." Danzo stated. Sheard and Nakamura hummed in thought.
"Raise the walls!" Jewel ordered. Her reply was the sound of thick glass walls to rise from the ground to box around Naruto. In front of the cannon was a big enough circle for the beam to come through.
"Weapon Dawn eh?" Nakamura muttered to himself.
"Fire!" Jewels barked. A moment later, the Cannon started to whirl before it fired a green beam into the box and at Naruto. The room started to glow a dull Green and everyone could hear Naruto's screams.
Within the box, Naruto was moving around, his veins bulging out. His head was thumping really hard, as if someone was trying to split open his skull. Not to mention his body felt as if it was on fire. There was a loud ringing in his ears also. He was in total pain.
After a few more moments, he couldn't take the strain. His eyes started to roll into the back of his head, while his body started to shake wildly as well. He was having a seizure.
"Are you sure he will live through this?" Danzo demanded quietly as they all witnessed what was going on. Sheard and Nakamura shook their heads, causing Danzo to give a small sigh.
'Prove to me how useful you are, Naruto.'
Naruto opened his eyes to be greeted to a dim lit room. The sound of dripping, made his ears twitch. He also felt a little warm. The boy blinked as he focused in to what was in front of him. And that was a large thick barred cage with a paper seal holding it together.
Large blood red eyes with a vertical slit pupil opened up, glaring at Naruto. The blonde boy glared back with an impassive face. It was like that for what seemed like hours till the owner of the red eyes chuckled deeply.
"So it seems my container isn't afraid of me. Interesting." The deep voice stated. Naruto cocked his head to the side a bit, as if studying the creature within.
"Normally, I would be afraid…if I was some kid who didn't know what was going on. But I do. You are the Kyuubi no yoko, the strongest Biju." Naruto stated, his keeping his gaze on the giant red eyes.
"That is correct. Tell me fleshbag, why do you not fear me?" Kyuubi wondered. Naruto raised a brow before answering the question.
"Because, Danzo-sama taught us not to fear anything; not even death. Fear is a sign of weakness, a weakness that our enemy can exploit which will result into our defeat." Naruto uttered, remembering his teachings.
Kyuubi hummed deeply before nodding in agreement. "Your teacher has taught you well then, fleshbag. Now why do you come to bother me? Is it the need for my power?" Kyuubi growled a bit, narrowing his eyes.
"I have no need for your power Kyuubi. While it is great and helpful, it is of no use to me since I can't use chakra. Besides, it will only result in a headache if I try to force you to give me your power." Naruto muttered.
"You are correct boy. For that my respect for you has risen a bit. However you are wrong as well. You have the ability to use chakra, I'm just not allowing you to use it." Kyuubi smirked.
Naruto hummed with a nod. "I see. The reason you are prohibiting me from using the chakra I have, is so I don't try and force you to give me your chakra. But you are allowing some of my pathways to widen so I don't die, hence you not dying as well. Correct?" Naruto deduced.
This time, Naruto was greeted with the sight of a set of razor sharp teeth that were set into a grin.
"Bravo boy. Once again, my respect has risen. You are correct. It will be easy for me to widen your pathways at the moment. Besides, their widening anyway due to this…gamma wave thing, you are undergoing." Kyuubi muttered.
Naruto simply nodded before he spoke. "I apologize for bothering you, Kyuubi-dono. I unconsciously came here, I will see to it that it won't happen again. Farewell." Naruto bowed respectively. He was about to leave when Kyuubi stopped him.
"Before you go boy, there are a few things I must know and you must know as well. First, I want to know why you are treating me with such respect." Kyuubi demanded. Naruto blinked, pondering the question.
"Well you are the great Kyuubi. If you weren't trapped in that cage, you would kill me easily. Besides, I later learned that it was you who kept me alive during the time before Danzo-sama appeared. For that you have my gratitude. Also, even though it is my body, it isn't. We share the same body in a way. Another thing is I have a reason to treat you like garbage anyway. If anything we are alike." Naruto paused as Kyuubi narrowed his eyes again.
"How so?" He wondered. Naruto looked at his feet, then the seal, before finally Kyuubi.
"We both didn't have a choice in the sealing, and now were both prisoners." Naruto finished, causing Kyuubi's eyes to widen in surprise from the answer. It was only a moment, that they closed and Naruto heard a deep rumbling chuckle.
"You amuse me, Naruto Uzumaki. But I do agree with you. Therefore, I shall tell you the changes that are happening to you."
It seemed as if hours passed, but it was only a few minutes. Danzo was getting anxious, though he didn't show it. Jewels was getting worried, but kept her emotions in check. Sheard and Nakamura continued to keep their gaze on Naruto who was still having his seizure.
Danzo's eye narrowed as he felt a burst of chakra come from Naruto. He didn't know what it was, but it kept him on his toes. His attention was given to one of the doctors on the computers who spoke.
"Ma'am, the pint of blood and Gamma storage is almost empty. Should we turn it down?" He asked. Jewels was about to answer but it was Nakamura who spoke.
"Turn it up a bit higher, give him one last good dosage. What is the perecent level right now?" The doctor asked; his answer was forty. Nakamura nodded in response. "Turn it up to 58."
"Are you insane? There is such a thing as too much David! He could die!" Jewels barked. Nakamura shook his head, a smirk on his face.
"He'll be fine. He's still alive isn't he? I'm sure one more dose wouldn't do much harm." Nakamura shrugged. Jewels growled before turning to Naruto who was shaking even more uncontrollably. The beam wave intensified on Nakamura's orders.
Naruto started to scream again, his head jerking from side to side. His body started to break out of it's restraints, but with no luck. Jewels moved to stand by Sheard, gazing at Naruto with a horrified look on her face.
The boy's eyes snapped open revealing glowing crimson red. There was no pupil in sight what so ever. His whisker marks were beyond thick, as they looked like some put claw marks on his face. His canine teeth sharpened and lengthened, as well did his nails. The boys screams started to turn into howls and roars.
One of the roars surprised one of the doctors working the computers, causing them to twist the knob, increasing one of the elements that the waves contained. The doctors immediately noticed, frowns appearing on their faces.
"What's going on?" Sheard asked the staff. The one who made the mistake spoke up in a shaky voice.
"I accidently turned up base element from 52 to 69. I tried to turn it down but…"
"You fool! That can cause a chain reaction! You should have just left it there! Now everything else is out of whack!" Nakamura shouted in anger.
"Is there nothing you can do to fix it?" Danzo wondered with a raised brow. Sheard shook his head as Nakamura left to go see what he could do.
"There isn't much we can do. If we try to adjust everything else, we might accidently end up killing him. Since that idiot increased the base element, that caused certain other things to transfer too; but not in a good way. Everything now has been increased, instead of decreasing; most likely to odd and uneven numbers, not balancing with their counter parts." Sheard explained with a grave tone.
Danzo's frown deepened as he took in the information. As he turned his head, there was an explosion of light that lit up the whole room. After a few moments, it faded away. The projector was off, and Naruto was completely still.
"What just happened?" Jewels demanded. One of the staff members gave her an answer.
"The gamma storage has hit zero, along with the blood storage. Everything else is offline." The staff member relayed. Jewels pressed the button to lower the walls before she took off for the stairs. Sheard followed her, though Danzo stayed where he was.
Jewels made it to Naruto's position and pressed the button to lower the chair. Once lowered, she pressed the other button to undo the metal clasp. The woman made her way over to the boy quickly and unfastened the belts holding him down.
With Sheard's help she was able to get him off the chair and onto a clear table. Jewels then checked Naruto's pulse, only to feel nothing. The woman immediately got a charger and rubbed them together.
"Clear!" She announced before pushing it down on him. His body lifted before falling back down with a thump. "Come on Naruto, wake up." Jewels muttered to her self. "Clear!"
Once again the same result happened, and Jewels was now starting to get frustrated. She would not let an innocent boy die on her watch, not because of someone else's selfish reasons.
Just as she was about to rub the charges together, Naruto's eyes began to flutter open. Jewels looked at them to see they were a dull crimson instead of the sky blue. The blonde kept his gaze on her before he grunted and sat up, gripping his head.
"The hell happened to me?" The boy asked. Jewels put away the chargers before giving Naruto a hug of relief. The boy raised a brow as he took in her scent. His ears twitched as he heard the sound of typing from above. He blinked as he could see the patterns of a wall in complete detail.
"Damn," Naruto muttered as he closed his eyes and covered his ears. He wasn't used to all this heightened crap, so it was messing with him. Jewels let go of him wondering what wrong. But then she took in his appearance.
There was small muscle build on his body that were surely grow in time. His blonde hair was more vibrant than before with red tips and streaks in it. His whisker marks were a bit more pronounced than usual, but not by much. Sharpened fangs jutted from his upper lip as well. Then there were his eyes, which had a vertical slit for pupils. The only thing that didn't seem to change was his height.
Naruto hopped off the table, and only stood for a few moments before he fell to the ground. Jewels gasped before she and Sheard picked him up from the ground. The blond was going in and out of consciousness.
"His body is still going through it. We need to get him to the bacta tank fast." Sheard stated as he and Jewels quickly moved to the nearest medical room. Danzo and Nakamura also followed the two. Once they arrived they saw put plugs and a mouth piece on Naruto before closing the tank.
The man nodded to Jewels who immeditately started pressing buttons. A few seconds later, healing water started to fill up the tank till it was completely full; Naruto floating within.
"I must say Doctor, your advanced technology really amazes me." Danzo muttered, earning a smirk from Nakamura.
"Thank you Danzo-san. That means a lot coming from you." Nakamura chuckled. Danzo gave a small nod before he asked his question.
"How long will it be till he can come out?" The ROOT leader wondered. Nakamura shrugged in response.
"Well, from my guess, two days at least. This tank will strengthen and restore his body, getting whatever needs to be controlled under control," The man informed, earning a nod. "You see his body is not adjusted to the new heightened senses, being in there will help him with that; allowing him to get used to it."
Sheard walked up to them with a sigh and a clip board in his hand. "We're going to have to run some tests while he's in here. We're not for sure positive if the operation was a success or not. Hopefully he will be awake in a few hours to participate." Sheard uttered.
"Do what you must." Danzo allowed before he gave Naruto one last look before leaving the room. Nakamura and Sheard gazed after the elder before looking towards Jewels who was gazing at Naruto.
"What do you think is up with her?" Nakamura whispered, earning a shrug from Sheard.
"Beats me." The man grumbled before he too left. Nakamura raised a brow before shrugging as well and leaving Jewels alone with the boy.
After gazing at Naruto in silence for a few minutes she sighed and left the room, switching off the lights and closing the door. However she missed Naruto's eyes start to flutter open, revealing his crimson eyes.
After glancing around, the boy closed his eyes again.
Alright so, this is the end of the chapter. And yes I know there was no lemon this chapter, I just wasn't feeling it and didn't know how to make it happen from where I left off. But next will have two lemons, one for that chapter and the other to make up for this chapter.
Also I figured out the challenge. So the challenge is what does the A in the A.H project stand for. If you can figure out what it means, once again I will allow you to choose one girl of your choice to have a lemon with, even if I dislike them.
And if you can tell me what the whole thing stands for I'll allow two girls. Tell me by P.M though instead of review. Because if you tell me in a review I'm going to ignore it; even if you are correct. Unless you're a guest I guess…
The Hint….is….Marvel
Now another challenge I have for you guys is what Naruto's power is. If you guys can guess this correctly, you get TWO girls of your choice!
The Hint is….Shadow…and that is only a fragment, it's up to you to figure the rest out, to get the right answer.
You have until the 12th of June to figure it out.
Now with all that said and done….
REVIEW!
