Perfection is an impossibility

What if Naruto was kidnapped at a young age by Orchimaru? What if he had the abilities of the various Akatsuki grafted into him. What would rise from the ashes? Dead Minato and Kushina.

I do not own Naruto

Chapter 2

It had been six months since he joined the mysterious group known as the Akatski, but in the first week he was wondering why he had ever wanted to stay in Konoha.

His new organisation was a goldmine. First there was Kisame Hoskigake an ex member of the seven ninja swords men of the mist and his sentient and chakra absorbing blade Samehada.

Then there was his own partner who was a living puppet. On their second mission four ninja targeted Sasori with fire style justsu and blew him apart. When the blast cleared he saw a late teen's boy with red hair and an annoyed expression on his face. As much as a revelation as this was he was even more shocked when the boy calmly brought forth a scroll and summoned a puppet, but one he recognised.

The third Kazekage stood there and then opened his mouth and then black granules emerged from its mouth. If he wasn't skilled at keeping his face expressionless he would have had a heart attack. He had faced the third in the war and knew first-hand how dangerous he was, but the fact that he was a puppet, and the fact that Sasori was using his Kekkei Genkai was incredible, and if the Genkai was there so was genetic material. He knew that he must have it.

Then there was the zombie brothers, as Kisame had dubbed them, Kakuzo and Hidan. Kakuzo was a calculating and clever man, and incredibly old, with two astounding abilities that made Orochimaru nearly splutter with envy. He had transformed his blood into threads that could be controlled and could be used to launch at opponents at such speeds that they could completely penetrate them. His other less useful, but no less interesting ability was his power to rip out the hearts of others and use them to increase his lifespan and gain their nature affinity. That explained how he had lived for nearly a century, but was not useful to him as he had his own immortality jutsu, but this still was worth looking into.

After all, Kakuzus technique could be applied to make his host bodies last longer

Hidan on the other hand almost made him sick with envy. At first he did not think much of him, as he was brash, rude, and generally unpleasant and as far as he could tell not very skilled. Then he discovered two things, one why they did not have many members and two why Hidan was there. They were on a joint mission, him Sasori, Kakuzu and Hidan, when Hidan went over the edge with one of his "smart" remarks.

Kakuzu ripped his head off his shoulders with a sickening pop and a spray of spinal fluids. Orochimaru shrugged his shoulders and continued onwards until he heard "Fuck that hurt you barstard. Fix me up and then let's get moving we don't have all fucking day do we." Hidans head was on the ground his body a few feet away taking as if nothing was wrong. Turns out he was a Jashinist of the highest order who had unlocked the ultimate jutsu of Jashin that made it so that no matter what happened to him his body and consciousness would simply not die. He absolute had to have that.

Then there was Zetsu. None of the normal members knew what to make of him. It was almost like there was two things in glued together. Despite being disturbing his skill as a spy and ability to, seemingly, warp through the ground made him valuable and desirable as an agent of espionage

Finally there was Pain and Kohnan. Konans ability to weaponies' paper to the point where she cut a tower in two fascinated Orochimaru, but what made him green with envy was Pain. He could not believe that all those years ago the legendary rinnegan had been ten feet in front of him and he had missed it. He was so angry after being inducted that he went and took out his frustrations on a civilian, and began to plot.

Time skip one year

It had known been a whole year and he was satisfied that he was inconspicuous enough. Know all he had to do was collect samples of DNA.

Hidan had been simple the man left so much blood in a simple sparing match it had been child's play, but after that the going got tough. Still sample one obtained.

He wanted some of Samehada, part of Sasori, the third Kazekage, Kakuzus thread, a sample of the rinnegan, a piece of Konahns paper and anything genetic of Zetsu.

The problem was that none of them were carless enough to let themselves be hurt or let him get close enough to do it.

His first target was Samehada, the problem was that the dame sword never left its masters side, so there was no chance of getting a sample. Then when he was wondering whether he should just ask Kisame, a miracle happened.

In a fight against some Oto nin with Kisame one of them used a jutsu that sent a hail of sharp rocks at them. Kisame intercepted them and Samehada absorbed their chakra, but the rocks were going with such momentum that they broke a scale of the sword. As fast as lightning he stepped forward throwing a kunai while simultaneously grabbing the scale and placing it in a seal. Sample two obtained.

Next came Kakuzku, he was surprisingly simple after he realised that instead of blood he had those bizarre threads. It was child's play to "accidentally" cut him in combat and steal some of those threads. After all they sewed themselves up. Yet another desirable thing about the threads. Sample three obtained.

Then came the actual Kisame. The problem there was that he had no visible hair to pluck or sweat to salvage so instead he needed his blood. But how to obtain it. He was careful unlike Hidan and did not heal as fast as Kakuzu. Running out of ideas he challenged Kisame to a duel to see who was a better swords man. During the duel where Kisame held the upper hand, he was able to nick him. When he did so he called the duel to save his sample. Kisame looked disappointed, but a bit of flattery he went away to care for Samehada. Sample four obtained with a lot of broken skin.

Then came zetsu. His sample was a complete fluke and a hand in the wrong place. In a mission Zetsu had risen up from the ground directly next to Orochimaru. The snake Sannin saw his change and grabbed at Zetsu, pulling out a few of his hairs. Zetsu recoiled and said "What the hell was that for" he said in that disturbing double speech of his. "Sorry just a little bit jumpy said Orochimaru" and it was true he was jumpy, but only because he wanted to jump up and down with success. Sample five obtained.

Next came Sasori, at first he thought it would be easy. Wait for a mission to force him out of his Hirako puppet and wait for him to take damage. It was too much of a risk to steal the third Kazekage now. The problem was that he didn't bleed, he was actually a living immortal puppet. His only flesh was in an iron container on his chest so he could not get at that. Then he one day he went down to Sasoris room intent on getting some notes on human anatomy. While Sasori was not in the room a fragment of his core was. It seemed he was experimenting on himself. The piece was tiny, but even a gram was enough to hold genetic information. Scalpel in hand he quickly took a sample and placed it into a container. Sample six obtained.

After Sasori came Konan. After a lot of planning he decided to trap Knonahn by accident. He had nets made up of a very tough material placed all over the city and when Konan flew around she crashed into one of them. Her paper was blown all over the city and all Orochimaru had to do was pick up a piece. Even though he wondered whether it was worth the effort after Konan gave him an earful of pain. Sample seven obtained.

Then came Pain. All Orochimaru knew was that he must have the rinnegan. The potential of that doijutsu was endless. However he only knew of seven people who possessed it all of whom had linked vision. Pain and his six paths. He knew that all of the Pains had an actual Rinnegan, just separating one from Pain was not an easy task. However not impossible. On a mission deemed too dangerous by Pain he went sent one of his paths. Orochimaru ran as fast as he could and warned the Iwa nin. Who were able to set up an ambush and eventually destroyed the Path after it killed most of them. Orochimaru acted fast. He ran straight at them and killed them while simultaneously sinking a syringe into the eye of the pain and extracting a sample of DNA. Sample eight obtained.

Finally he stole the third Kazekage. He simply went in while Sasori was away and stole the scroll and replaced it with a look alike, but know the clock was ticking. He had to get away from the Akatski before Sasori noticed.

If he didn't he doubted that he would last five minutes against four S class nin never mind Pain.

Time skip seven months

Today he decided he would flee. He had had the samples transferred with the utmost care and delicacy to his most secure lab in Oto and was ready to flee.

Today however a new member was announced to arrive so they had to all meet him. He was interested. Perhaps he would attack and steal some of his or her DNA before he fled.

He waited and then coming up the stairs was a tall dark haired man with red eyes. He knew that this was Itachi Uchiha, a man who had slaughtered his whole family and clan and one of the last holders or the Sharingan.

He knew he had to have it. He must. Imagine his luck when he was sent on a mission with Itachi.

Time skip 12 hours

"Give up Orochimaru, all your tricks are useless before these eyes" said Itachi with an air of boredom.

Things were not looking good. Itachi had trapped him in a genjustsu and tortured him and while he had been recovering stabbed him with a kunai and barley avoided a point blank fire Jutsu.

Orochimaru snarled and said "I have still one more trick" as he released a large amount of noxious gas and charged towards Itachi. As he did so he charged and managed to slice Itachi with a kunai. With that he ran ignoring the pain in his arms and the burns on his cheeks. All that mattered was the kuni with the Uchihas blood.

Stumbling slightly he reach Otogakure his village. He dispatched a guard to fetch him a new body, his current one was too badly damaged, but before all he went down to where the other Akatuski samples were and placed the Kunai with them. Now at last he could begin the work of building the perfect host.

And that the wrap
