(A/N) Orochimaru.
Nin groaned as she woke up, a headache pounding behind her eyes and making it difficult to think. She looked around, wincing at the bright lights. She didn't recognize where she was, but it couldn't be good. A rather large bed was in one corner, the walls a slate grey. She noticed Naruto, right next to her, and gently prodded him. He didn't move, and she guessed he had been sedated. She probably had been too, which explained the headache. She wondered why she had woken up first, after all, Naruto had a biju sealed in his gut. She shrugged and decided to pull out Isobu, to see if he could fix the headache. It really was making it very difficult to think clearly and coherently.
She pulled out Isobu's scroll, unsealing the puppet. She connected chakra strings and began to make the puppet dance around, leaping and twirling merrily. Her headache soon cleared, and she continued playing with the puppet, beginning on the kata she'd learned while still in Suna.
The door opened, and Isobu hastily lept in front of Nin, protecting her.
The person who entered, a rather pale and snake-like person looked mildly impressed, and a bit curious.
"Who are you?" Nin asked, fingers ready to send Isobu to attack.
"My name is Orochimaru, the snake Sannin."
Nin didn't relax. "Why are we here?"
Orochimaru merely smiled. "It is none of your concern at the moment. Your puppet can stand down, I am not here to hurt you."
Nin cautiously allowed Isobu to move and stand beside her, half supporting her weight as she stood up. "And what are you going to do with us?"
"A cautious little girl, are you?" Orochimaru asked, a slight smile on his face.
"My name is Uzumaki Ningyomi. You could use it ya'know," Nin stated, rather boldly.
Orochimaru chuckled. "Kukuku, puppet, such a fitting name for a puppeteer."
"You sound really creepy when you do that," Nin said flatly. "What are you going to do with us?"
"Again, none of your concern," Orochimaru all but purred.
Nin shuddered. "You, sir, are really, really creepy."
"Why thank you."
Nin shuddered again, and limped over to the bed, Isobu half carrying her. "What was that, a paralyzer and a sedative mixed? Inform the mixer of this substance that I officially hate them, and I want to know how they managed this without canceling out both."
Orochimaru was definitely amused now, if the slight smile on his lips was anything to go by. "I shall endeavor to alert Kabuto about his newest hater, and his newest student."
Nin just grunted, sitting on the bed, Isobu next to her. "When will Naruto wake up?"
Orochimaru shrugged slightly. "Ask that of his biju, not of me."
Nin grunted again. "You gonna tell me anything you're going to do?"
"You'll have to find out."
Nin sighed. "Alright, Whatever. You going to leave or not?"
Orochimaru watched her for a moment longer, then left, closing, and probably locking the door behind him.
"Stupid paralytic," Nin muttered.
She waited for a while longer, then, when she'd read through one of her history scrolls for the hundredth time(not really), Naruto began to stir. Nin perked up as he started to stir, putting away the scroll, not bothering to seal it into the original scroll.
She limped over to Naruto, using Isobu as a glorified crutch again, as she still didn't have the paralytic out of her system. She still couldn't feel her right leg or her left arm, which was rather annoying.
She poked Naruto, and he rolled over to look at her sleepily. "Morning Naruto."
"Oh, morning Nin," Naruto said, yawning.
"Can you move okay?" She asked, sitting down, left arm hanging limp.
Naruto twitched a couple of times, then shook his head. "No, I guess I can't. Why is that?"
Nin frowned. "Someone, apparently named Kabuto, decided to put a paralytic in the sedative he shot at us. It's still wearing off."
"Put a what in where?" Naruto asked, thoroughly confused.
"A paralyzer, it's the thing stopping you from moving. I'm only now getting feeling and movement back in my limbs. A sedative is what was used to make you fall asleep."
Naruto nodded, apparently understanding.
"Hey, do you know anyone named Orochimaru?"
Naruto frowned. "I don't think so, sorry."
Nin nodded amicably. "It's alright, I didn't really expect you to."
"I think I recognize Kabuto, I think he gave me my shots one time. He's pretty nice. He gave me a sticker."
Nin grinned. "I like stickers."
Both children began to feel abnormally sleepy, but before either could do anything, both passed out, lying prone on the ground. Isobu, it's puppeteer unconscious, slumped to the floor as well.
Orochimaru glared at the unconscious blond man in front of him. This was not supposed to happen. This was not what this jutsu was supposed to do. It was supposed to turn that very dead minion into a reanimation. It was, by no means, supposed to reanimate the minion, then turn said minion into a very alive person. A very alive person, who most certainly was not supposed to be alive!
Orochimaru glared at the minion next to him. "Throw him in with the woman. Same room, and adapt all seals to sap and get rid of his chakra."
The minion bowed his head, and scurried to obey.
Orochimaru growled at the empty room. Problems were arising, and they'd better not get in his way to the perfect body. If anymore people dropped in, they were so dead. Unfortunately, that one just now was not available for killing. He decided to go watch Naruto, as he was the more interesting subject. Orochimaru, despite the fact he changed the body to look like himself, preferred inhabiting male bodies when possible. And the girl seemed more useful as a right hand, then a host.
Naruto woke up slowly, opening his eyes blearily and looking around. Orochimaru noted that his hair had taken on an almost reddish tint. He hadn't thought that that particular DNA would have had that effect. And no way to tell if this was just an isolated incident, the girl's hair was already blood red. At risk of sounding like a Nara, troublesome.
Naruto began looking around, noticing the books Orochimaru had left for him. With Sasori's DNA intact, it was time to begin chakra control exercises. Climbing the walls, specifically.
Naruto glanced at the books and scroll, scanning them. They were all on the same topic, and Orochimaru watched with interest as he blinked uncomprehendingly at them. Orochimaru made a mental note to put a dictionary and how to read book in there. He knew at least one of the scrolls had pictures of what was supposed to happen, and it appeared that the boy had found them, frowning and muttering 'what's chakra?' under his breath. Orochimaru snorted and left him to it, leaving to go check on the the other pair of people, but the ones that weren't test subjects. For now, anyway. As much as he really wanted to dissect the blond male, it would not be advised. Unfortunately, there weren't any experiments that were particularly important. Not right now. Well, besides the two jinchuuriki kids.
The parallels between his two important sets of prisoners were uncanny. A blond male and a red-headed female. Admittedly, the age difference between the two sets was rather extensive, but that was besides the point.
The two were up, the blond male looking extremely confused, and the female just as, if not more confused. Orochimaru gave it half an hour before they were eating each other's faces off. While usually called kissing, Orochimaru was fairly sure that with these two, it was going to be eating faces off instead. If not going farther. Orochimaru made a note to put silencing seals on their cell. And try and avoid any random pregnancies. On second thought, more testing opportunities to see if… Well, maybe he'd think about that later. After he finished finding a minion to put a blackout option on the one way window. No one wanted to see that.
He checked the girl again, noting that she was waking up. Good, he would begin her on making puppets, and see how she did from there.
Naruto had gotten most of the way up the wall, but kept falling off, hitting the floor with a loud 'oof!'
(A/N) I'm just gonna keep hinting, and maybe someone will get it. We'll see. Ministry of Magic, meet your down fall ends tomorrow, and after its posted, a poll about what'll happen to its update spot will go up.
