Chapter 2: The Creation of a Weapon
It was noon at the ANBU headquarters. Tsunade, Hiashi, Neji, Naruto, and the scientist (his name was Chenzo) were waiting in building 4, basement lab 277 for Kakashi to show up. The door opened, and all in the room were shocked that Kakashi was on time, but it was only Inoichi, closely followed by Jiraiya.
"Naruto!!! Long time no see, squirt. How goes it?" Jiraiya chuckled.
"Pervy Sage!" Jiraiya looked stung with that title, and looked sheepishly at Tsunade, but she hadn't seemed to notice. "It's good to see you. Did you hear, I'm gonna be part of some cool experiment! Not that I know what it is yet…" Naruto trailed off in thought of what was to come.
Five minutes later, the door opened again, and the perpetually late jonin walked in.
"Yo. Sorry I'm late, but a black cat crossed my path, and I had to find another route. Hehehe," Kakashi laughed a tad nervously at the look that he got from Tsunade, then he looked at Naruto to see him glaring at him.
"Kakashi sensei, I'm about to be the subject of some cool experiment, and even then you can't show up on time?!?! What is wrong with you? We need to get you a watch!" the blond haired boy exploded.
"Right, sorry Naruto, sorry Lady Tsunade. Well, now that I'm here, we can get started, right?"
"Yes, Kakashi, we can start. Did you bring the blood sample?"
"Oh, right…I knew there was something I was forgetting," Tsunade looked ready to rip his head off when he smiled and said, "No, no, I'm only kidding. Here it is right here." He opened his scroll pouch on his chunin vest and pulled out a vial of blood.
"Right. Naruto, Neji, it is time I explained to you what is going to happen here today," exclaimed Tsunade. "So, Neji, we are going to draw blood from you, and we are going to analyze the abilities of your Byakugan. Based on the fact that you have the strongest Byakugan of all of the Hyuuga clan, you have been selected to be the subject for a new jutsu. This is also why Sasuke's blood is here as well. We are going to combine your most powerful Byakugan with Sasuke's Sharingan, which is like your Byakugan, the strongest of all of the late Uchiha clan. His eyes hold within them an even greater potential than his brother, Itachi's. As of yet, Itachi is one of three people in the history of the Uchiha to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan, a more advanced, powerful form of the Sharingan. Based on Kakashi's experience with both Sasuke and Itachi, Sasuke's normal Sharingan would have the potential to overcome the Uchiha's ulimate genjutsu, the Tsukuyomi. His eyes also show the potential to put out the inextinguishable black flames of Itachi's Ameratsu.
"Naruto, this is where you come in. Myself, Jiraiya and Kakashi are the only three people alive who know your lineage. Your father, Naruto, was none other than Jiraiya's pupil, and Kakashi's sensei…the legendary Fourth Hokage."
Naruto's jaw almost scraped the floor, so surprised he was to learn that his father was the great Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. "B-but…you can't…be…s-serious…" he stammered.
"I am. That is why you were able to pick up his jutsu, the Rasengan, so quicky. The Fourth, your father, had a special kekkei genkai. He has a certain…tolerence…of sorts. His, and your, body is completely one with the world around it. Therefore, he had near limitless stamina, and was able to master the sage chakra so easily. Jiraiya will explain the sage chakra to you later," she said, cutting off Naruto's question. "Also, his kekkei genkai allowed his body to go inhuman ammounts of strain without snapping. This is what allowed for his jutsu, Flying Thunder God. In this example, his body could withstand being yanked through space at such high speeds that it appeared he simply teleported there. His kekkei genkai was passed to you. I discovered this early on when I met you, and saw the insane stamina that you possessed. This was later confirmed to be you and not the Fox when I did some blood work on you when you returned from the Sasuke retrieval mission."
"I have…a kekkei genkai…" Naruto murmured to himself in wonder. Meanwhile, Neji looked just as stunned. So that's how he was able to beat me…not only does he have a kekkei genkai allowing for intense stamina, but he also has nearly limitless chakra supplied to him by the Nine-Tailed Fox. And to think… he used to be a failure back in the academy. He really is an unusual child, and he is most defiantly NOT a failure, that much is certain.
"Naruto," Tsunade resumed her plan, "due to your unique abilities, we are using you as a vessel for this new doujutsu. I will leave the name up to you, as you will be the one to bear this burden. Now then, Chenzo, will you please begin the fusion?"
"Hai, Lady Tsunade. I will do all I can to blend these two techniques into the perfect weapon. While I cannot guarantee the full limits and effects of the fusion, I will guarantee that I will do my best to eliminate all weaknesses."
"Thank you, Chenzo. Neji, would you let me borrow your left arm?" he handed his Hokage his arm, "Thank you. This will take a few minutes, as I need to gather enough blood to accurately identify the genetic formula of you ability."
"Very well, Lady Hokage." Said a resigned Neji.
Tsunade took out an IV bag, tube, and needle. She hooked the needle to the tube, and the tube to the bag, and proceeded to insert the needle into the Hyuuga's arm just below the crook of his elbow. After about 3 seconds of nothing, the blood started to flow up through the tube and into the bag. Ten minutes and one bag of blood later, Tsunade removed the needle from a pale looking Neji, and preformed a quick healing jutsu to the puncture mark in his arm. "Neji, you are going to feel weak for a good 20 minutes or so, so try not to move. Just sit there until you recover, then you are free to stay or go. The choice is yours."
"Thank you, my Lady," Neji murmured, wondering why the hell he agreed to have so much blood drained from his body.
Tsunade and Kakashi both handed their respective blood to Chenzo, and he immediately took a small sample from each. He preformed a small procedure and extracted a full strand of DNA from an each sample of blood. He placed the strands on separate open scrolls, then flew through a list of hand seals, saying them aloud as he went: "Tiger, Ram, Serpent, Boar, Bird, Horse, Dragon, Ox, Rabbit, Monkey, Dog, Rat, Ram…Decoder Jutsu!!!"
The scrolls were hidden by a puff of smoke, and when they came into view, the entire strand of DNA was written out on them, displaying the different codons and sequences that code for specific traits. After twenty minutes of careful scrutiny, he found the sections of the genome that coded for the kekkei genkai's of the two clans. He formed the ram seal, "HA!!!" and the specific sections replaced the rest of useless information that comprised the rest of the genetic code in very large characters. "Now for the hard part," exclaimed Chenzo.
With that, he sat down on the spot, and began to meditate, very similarly, Naruto noticed, to the way Sikamaru did when faced with tough decisions when in a battle, or in a game of shogi. After another twenty minutes, Chenzo emerged from his altered state of consciousness, and began to write on a new scroll, his hand flying through the characters, numbers, and scientific symbols. The assembled group could do nothing but stare as Chnzo's brilliant minds scribbled out equations and formulas to create the most perfect fusion of the two techniques as possible.
Soon, he leaned back with a sigh. "It is done. Now, Tsunade, I must ask you to perform the necessary hand seals and procedures to create this serum."
"As you wish, Chenzo," she replied. She walked over to his scroll, took one look, and nearly fainted. "WHAAAA?!?!?! You want me to do all of that?!?!?! How is that even possible?!?!?! It would take someone with my control, Naruto's chakra, and Kakashi's hand seal speed to be able to do this in an hour!!! This would be impossible for me to do!"
"Very well. We will use a technique I developed to do just such a thing awhile back. Naruto, stand here in the back, Kakashi, in front of him, and Tsunade, in the front. Now, Naruto, place your hands on Kakashi's back. Kakashi, place your foot against Tsunade's heel, and Tsunade, you will be in front by the samples and the instructions. Now, let's get started…" he cracked his knuckles. "I am going to link your chakra networks. Naruto, your chakra and stamina will fuel Kakashi, who will mold the chakra with the hand seals. Kakashi, use your Sharingan to go through the hand seals as fast as you can. Tsunade, you will control the chakra, and use it to fuse these two sections of the genetic code in the ways outlined here," he pointed at the scroll. "Shall we begin?"
"HAI!!!" the three ninja shouted simultaneously.
"Very well." He went through more seals: "Bird, Monkey, Horse, Rat, Dragon, Ram, Bird, Horse, Tiger, Chakra Chain Linkage Jutsu!" Immediately, the effects were felt. Kakashi and Tsunade felt a great surge of chakra coming from Naruto, and it washed over them like a wave. Naruto was able to feel Kakashi's arm muscles quivering with anticipation for great speed, and also the great degree of control that Tsunade had over the chakra being supplied.
"Lets do this!" said Naruto.
Tsunade rolled her joints around, "Here goes nothing."
Kakashi didn't say anything, he simply raised his headband up from over his left eye, unveiling his Sharingan. The second his eye caught sight of the seals listed on the scroll, he tapped into Naruto's chakra, and began forming seals at an untraceable rate, as Tsunade felt the molded chakra flowing from Kakashi, she began to direct it in the way the instructions outlined. This continued for nearly an hour, Naruto supplying chakra, Kakashi shaping it, and Tsunade directing and controlling it. Finally, 57 minutes later, the task was complete. Kakashi's body was twitching as he lowered his headband, and Tsunade was sweating bullets. Only Naruto seemed unfazed, thanks to his unique genetic trait. Neji and Hiashi could only stare, dumbfounded, at what had just occurred.
Chenzo gathered up the serum from the basin he had left by the scrolls, and placed it into a syringe. "Now, Naruto, I am going to explain to you what is going to happen. I am going to inject this serum into your bloodstream, and within about 30 seconds you should begin to feel its effects. What those effects will be, I do not know, but when they are complete, your eyes will have been transformed into this new type of eye. What are you going to call it, son?"
"Hmmm…" mused Naruto, "It's a fusion of the Byakugan and the Sharingan…so let's see…Sharakugan..Sharingugan…Byakugingan…Byakingan! I'll call it the Byakingan!"
"Very well, Naruto," Chenzo raised the syringe to Naruto's arm, "I now dub you Naruto Uzumaki, son of the Fourth Hokage, bearer of the Byakingan!" And with that, he jabbed Naruto in the arm, and pushed the plunger down. The serum flowed into Naruto's blood, and after about 25 seconds he began to writhe and convulse, emitting a wordless, primal cry of absolute agony. His hands flew to his closed eyes. Oh, his eyes, they felt like they were burning in his head.
The last thing he remembered was the concerned voice of Tsunade shouting, "Naruto!!! Naruto are you okay?!?!?! NARUTOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
