"Ah, genetic preservation is a modern miracle, wouldn't you say Minato-kun?"
Minato hated this man.
He hated the fact that his boss allowed this deranged scientist to join their group, more than anything he wished he could slit the throat of this scientist. Even more so when he learned, recently, that this man did experiments with corpses on a deranged level.
"Human DNA is genetic material that has some of the longest preservation limit, and even more so for those who are exceedingly long lived. Much-" A tall, pale man with black hair, spoke as he looked at the cloning tubes that he had. Of course, none of the clones he made were true clones, each and every clone that he created was modified to the point that it was nearly nothing like the cource material other than having similar DNA froma fundamental level.
Minato had his knife at the man's neck.
"I'm here to collect your verbal report, don't presume to ever lecture me. The boss wishes to extend his life longer, and your research just so happened to line up with that." Minato hated many things in this world.
This was the man that tricked the Devils, using knowledge that he stole in order to manipulate the Devils into attacking the Uzumaki. He even provided his own clone army in order to help with the attack, his homunculus attack forces had all lost their lives, but other than a single Uzumaki they had succeeded in wiping them all out.
Orochimaru the Snake.
Humanities most Brilliant scientist, and it's most unethical one to ever exist. He had an entire clan slaughtered, not to save the world like he told the Devils, but so that he could get his hands on some fresh Uzumaki corpses in order for him to research immortality. The man was as sick and twisted as any man alive, and then add some raw evil into that and you got Orochimaru.
"Ah, okay then, well the I did get some findings he might be interested in. You see, using the corpse of Uzumaki Kushina-"
Orochimaru stopped when he felt killing intent, and saw Minato biting his lips in pure unadulterated rage. Orochimaru just smiled for a moment when he realized that he had hit a sore spot with the man. He smiled even wider when he realized, that despite this man being much stronger than him, he wouldn't be able to do anything to attack him so long as they served under the same boss.
"Why her?"
"You see, while the average Uzumaki is much stronger than a normal human, very few Uzumaki are as powerful as Kushina had been. She killed over 250 homunculus and 20 devils before she had been killed, all while pregnant. Even with my Anti-Uzumaki Poison running through her veins... a marvelous example of her species." Orochimaru stated with a sadistic smile. All of those that worked with Minato knew of his love for Kushina.
They also all knew that despite him loving her, he refused to be part of a harem, and thus he chose to just be her protector from afar. He even joined the Yakuza for the purpose of getting the funds to protect Kushina, but even with his protection the woman was still killed.
"What did your research mind demon?" Minato never made his hatred for the man before him a secret.
Orochimaru just giggled like a schoolgirl.
"I've unlocked the secrets of creating a nearly perfect Uzumaki, I created a Homunculus and while it was still a blank slate I used one of Kushina's rib bones and imprinted her DNA into it. A failure and a success, you see she isn't complete yet." Orochimaru mused on how he could complete this homunculus.
Minato looked around the room for any homunculus in tanks that looked like an Uzumaki or Kushina.
Orochimaru snorted.
"The appearance of the Homunculus is set in stone, it doesn't change even when I add additional DNA to it to further it's growth. Anyway, she is activated already, since I need her awake to test her ability to manipulate magic-"
"You were tasked with unlocking immortality not creating an army of magic wielding Uzumaki!" Minato snapped in a rage. He was given no knowledge that Orochimaru even had Kushina's corpse, which pissed him off even more than the fact that he experimented with it. "They were human too, and their corpses shoudl be treated with respect. Where is her clone-"
"A daughter, not a clone. Her body is primarily homunculus, but her bones are Uzumaki and her blood is Kushina's for sure. The girl is quite kind, but easy to anger, willing to kill, and for a mere 15 year old girl she is quite lustful... and no, I did not do anything to her in that way. I have no desire to partake of simple human delights like sex." Orochimaru mused to himself. Kushina's genetic personality had imprinted on the homunculus for sure, though he had never met the woman in person what Minato used to rant and rave about gave him an accurate depiction of the kind of woman she was.
"... Kushina Uzumaki had only 1 child, a child she gave her life to birth and protect. Whatever child you created... 15 years old?" Minato questioned with a stunned silence taking over him after that.
How long had Orochimaru been experimenting with her corpse!?
"Well, usually a homunculus only has a lifespan of at most 3 years. There are notable exceptions to this rule, because they age rapidly and their internal organs start to fail. This girl though, her internal organs do not age. It seems, since her magic is completely unlocked, has attained Uzumaki Immortality via their life filled magic." Orochimaru had observed and experimented on this girl for years now. Once she reached 8 years old, and gained the body of a petite 15 year old, she stopped aging completely and for 7 years remained the same.
No amount of genetic experimenting altered her body, and though he placed limiters on her magic so that she could not use it against him, he found that her body contained 8 extra spots where magic gathered.
When he researched the corpses of the Uzumaki, he noticed they all had those same 7 extra magical gathering spots. Some of them were unlocked, and others were seemingly sealed away from use. Kushina had 4 of them unlocked, but most of the Uzumaki had 1 or 2 unlocked and that never seemed to change.
"... You monster..."
"Ah, I guess that means that she has an older brother then. Yes, Uzumaki Naruto was born on 10/10 correct? Well, my homunculus was born on 11/20, about a month after. Isn't that right, Illya?" Orochimaru asked as he turned on the computer screen and it showed a hidden room being video recorded.
In the room was a single petite girl.
"She looks-"
"The Einzbern family's genetic material makes for nearly perfect homunculus, even more so when mixed with foreign DNA. Using Illya's DNA, I fashioned a drug that can extend human life by more than 500 years with a single dose of the drug. The drug stops the aging process during that time, so my research is nearly complete. Isn't that right Illya?" Orochimaru spoke into a mic, and his voice played in the record room.
The girl in the room took notice of his voice.
"Nearly complete? I can meet my brother then?"
"Of course, and he is waiting for you with all of his heart." Orochimaru pressed the mic button and lied effortlessly to the girl. Her room was filled with pictures of Naruto, that Orochimaru had taken for her. He turned off the view of the room, and he turned to Minato with a smile. "A lie, of course."
Minato felt disgust.
"... Why lie to her?"
"Homunculus are still somewhat human, and I needed Illya to have hope for her future. She is still affected by the Uzumaki mood swings, so obviously in order for her to have the mental strength to undergo my experiments I told her a white lie that would fill her with hope. Uzumaki have quite the strong determination, and she is very determined to meet her brother. Illya von Einzbern, I wonder what look your face will have when I discard you and use your corpse to birth a new army?" Orochimaru asked as he thought about the betrayed, hateful, and horrified looks that the girl would have when she came face to face with the cold reality.
Minato took a deep breath.
He looked down at his right hand, which was missing a finger. When he failed to kill Naruto, and reported a failure to the boss, he had been ordered to cut off one of his fingers to repent for his failure. For Kushina's son, this was a small price to pay, and he would have been happy to pay that price again.
Minato twitched his finger.
-In the Sealed Room-
"Naruto, oh I can't wait to meet you! It will make these years of suffering worth it, to finally have a real family!" Illya chanted to herself. For 12 long years, since her brain matured enough to form memories, she had desperately waited for the day that she would have her own family.
*BEEP*
"Oh, he wants to talk to me again." Illya spoke to herself when she heard the speaker turn on.
"So, Orochimaru, you told that innocent girl lies for years, just so that you could torment her with the truth later on. You bastard, you never intended to introduce her to Naruto, and you never told Naruto about Illya, did you?"
Illya heard a voice she had never heard before speaking over the speaker, and her heart stopped beating for a moment when the words registered in her mind. For a second there, she was sure that she just heard that Orochimaru had no plans at all to introduce her to her brother. That couldn't be true though, because he was the man who was performing so many painful experiments on her for the purpose of allowing her to meet her brother without both of them exploding from magical overload.
She was a homunculus of the Einzburn, created with Uzumaki bones from Naruto's mother, they were siblings in genetic code.
"Of course not, the girl is foolish to believe a word of any of that. Uzumaki, explode? Sure, it does look like Uzumaki bodies explode when they gather too much magic, but nobody has ever actually lived to see if Uzumaki actually explode or not. Every time it is going to happen, the Uzumaki stop it... for all we know the Uzumaki exploding would transform this world into paradise. It doesn't matter though, because I plan on injecting her with a lethal dose of my Anti-Uzumaki poison to kill her when I tell her the truth."
That was Orochimaru's voice.
Illya's heart sank to her stomach when she heard the familiar voice speaking, confirming what the other new voice said to be true.
"I hope she kills you Orochimaru."
He lied to her, Orochimaru lied to her this entire time. Her entire life, and her purpose had been a total lie.
Red lines started to appear on her body, about 70% of her body began to glow red with magical energy lines. The magical symbols of the Uzumaki appearing in red, instead of black, on her skin as she stood up. She started to generate magical energy in massive amounts.
"Ah, but that is impossible. If she acts towards me with hostile intent, then the magical bomb inside of her shoulder will explode."
Illya held her hand over her right shoulder, and she blasted a small hole in it right where the bomb was, destroying it and only the bomb. A tiny hole in her shoulder being the only wound that she had to show for it. She looked around, and she tried to sense where Orochimaru was located.
"... No, I'll kill him later... as a family, with my brother." Illya stated to herself as she blasted open a hole in the wall.
-In the Lab-
"Well, that's another of my fingers I guess. I guess I can live without pinkies on either hand. Whoops, did I just press that button so Illya would hear what we were saying?" Minato pointed to the small marble that had been launched from his sleeve when he twitched his finger. If the girl had an Uzumaki bad attitude, then she would not take kindly to years of being lied to.
Orochimaru had already developed the drug, no reason for him to allow the man to continue with his research of the Uzumaki.
"You fool! When Azazel made the Uzumaki famous by allying with them, he gave all scientists the perfect research material. Years of hard work, down the drain! You've doomed my research to failure! Illya has escaped!" Orochimaru roared in real anger as he turned to face Minato, standing out of his chair in a rage.
Minato smirked.
"By the bosses' orders, I can't touch you... but Illya and Naruto can. You see, even when Kushina rejected me, I never stopped loving her. Even if I refuse to accept that creation as her daughter, it still has a part of her in it. She deserves the truth... soon enough, you will have an angry homunculus with Uzumaki magic and an angry Uzumaki on your tail." Minato smirked. Orochimaru was not a fool, he would understand the threat that was now against him.
He would have to go into hiding.
Orochimaru actually seemed visibly worried.
"You..."
"Just letting you know this too, Naruto... is far stronger than any Uzumaki who was alive on that island at the time of their destruction. You've doomed, and I'm going to enjoy every second of it. You better have an army, because soon enough you're going to be facing a King and a Queen." Minato turned and started to walk away. He pulled out a knife, before he lifted his hand up.
He sliced his remaining pinky off, and tossed it back at Orochimaru as an insult to him.
He would gladly pay a pinky for this man's death.
