'Think'

In the village of Konoha a great celebration was being held. To the children of the village it was known as the sixth anniversary of day that their former leader the Yondaime Hokage defeated Kyuubi the nine tailed fox. The powerful demon would have destroyed all of Konoha if not for the quick actions of the former fire shadow. The adults on the other hand knew this as the day that the Yodaime sealed the Kyuubi away inside of a little boy. This little boy was an orphan named Naruto Uzumaki.

At the orphanage that Naruto lived at one of the caretakers walked down the hall checking on all of the children. After giving a small curse towards the sleeping demon brat she went on with her rounds until she felt the cold touch of steel against her throat.

"Hello miss, would you be kind enough to tell me which room belongs to Naruto Uzumaki?" the figure asked in a chilling voice.

"B-back down t-t-the hallway. The door on the l-left." the poor woman squeaked out.

"Thank you." the figure said with a grin before sliding the kunai against the woman's throat and leaving her body in the hallway.

Following the woman's directions the man made his way into the room of the six year old blond-haired child. As he approached the bed the fox holder's bed the boy began to wake from his quiet slumber.

When Naruto woke up he saw a man with pale skin and purple makeup under his eyes. His eyes were golden and the pupils were slits like that of a snake and he had black hair.

"Who are you." the boy asked sleepily.

"I'm a friend Naruto-kun. My name is Orochimaru. Lord Hokage asked me to take you to a special place where you never have to worry about those horrid people in Konoha anymore." the Snake Sannin said causing the boy to well up with excitement.

"Do you mean it?" Naruto asked his bright blue eyes overflowing with happiness.

"Of course Naruto-kun. Now come with me."

On a hill out side of Konoha two people were waiting for Orochimaru and Naruto. The first was a creepy looking man in a white lab coat. He had black eyes and silver hair that he wore in a ponytail. The other figure on the hill was a woman with red hair and cold viloet eyes wearing a long lab coat just like the first.

Shortly after midnight Orochimaru and Naruto made their way to the hill.

"Welcome back Lord Orochimaru, is that the boy?" the man asked.

"Yes now let's leave. We have much to do." Orochimaru replied before they disappeared into the night.

Konoha Three Years Later

The Sandaime Hokage stared wearily at the small journal that lay on his desk. It had been three years. Three long years that he had searched for the young Jinchuuriki. He had to fight the council to have them send out a search party in the first place. The only reason he was able to get them to approve the search at all was the threat that one of their enemies could use Naruto's power against Konoha.

After three years of searching, they finally got a report about a boy with Naruto's description washing up on a beach in Sea Country. He looked perfectly fine at first glance and the only thing that was found with him was a small black journal in a plastic bag to protect it. Because Naruto was not the first member of Konoha to be found on the shores of Sea Country so Sarutobi already had a good idea who Naruto's kidnapper was. After letting out a heavy sigh the Sandaime opened the journal and began to read.

Journal

December 1, 6 A.K. ( After Kyuubi )

Tomorrow is the beginning of my revenge against the evil, horrific, demonic, abomination that destroyed all I held dear. I know I'll be working for an enemy of Konoha by doing this, but I would sell my soul for a chance to cause this beast even the smallest amount of pain and trust me, there will be much pain involved in what we are about to do. Orochimaru has been working in the field of genetic enhancement. As of late he has been working on adding animal and demon attributes to humans.

His goal, the ultimate body. One that would allow a Jounin level shinobi the power to take on all five Kage's. The man is a dreamer I'll give him that. Even with our work nobody could take that kind of power even with the modifications. Orochimaru has chosen the Kyuubi vessel's body for his next host. He believes that because of the Kyuubi's regenerative capabilities he will adapt much faster allowing him to have it up to its full capability in three years. Because I was one of the top medical ninjas in Konoha and Whirlpool Country. Next to Tsunade-sensei of course, so he gave me the opportunity to work on this project. He gets a powerful new body and I get to torture the monster that stole my husband and my little boy. Along with me and Orochimaru's other medics there is one more person working with us. A Biologist by the name of Amachi.

Our first modification will be to see how the boy will react to the D.N.A. of a fox. Because of the demon inside of him, the process is expected to go rather smoothly. 'Project Beast' as it has been named will begin tomorrow.

December 25, 6 A.K.

The results were amazing! None of us expected such a reaction! The boy's body has the ability to turn completely into a fox. Even more amazing is the fact that we think he'll actually be able to speak to them. In under a month we've recreated the abilities the Inuzuka and Aburame worked for generations to achieve and then some! Outside of his fox form we expect him to have the heightened senses of your average canine.

The process as expected was extremely painful but, thank to the Kyuubi's healing abilities all the expected visual side effects are nonexistent. I know that the boy and the beast are two different people. My dear Minato-kun would never damn a child to that fate. But for a chance to destroy Kyuubi when the snake takes over, a chance to destroy the creature that continues to mock me by changing the boy to have him take on the appearance of my husband...some things must be done for the greater good.

January 19, 6 A.K.

The next phase in his evolution has been completed. The next assignment the Hebi-teme gave us was to build the ability of camouflage into the boy's body. We worked with both the D.N.A. of Chameleons and Octopi to recreate their camouflage abilities. Because the work was mainly done with his skin the process went very quickly. He can change his skin color with variety, efficiency, and speed quicker than any creature in the animal kingdom according to Amachi.

January 27, 7 A.K.

Orochimaru has brought in a Yamanaka who was declared a Missing-nin to help us with his new idea. One problem Orochimaru has been having is conditioning his new bodies. So he has brought in the Yamanaka to put information into the boy's brain. He has been given an extensive understanding of seals, all though the snake was smart enough to have him stay away from anything that's even remotely related to the seal used on Kyuubi. And has a basic understanding of academy level techniques, chakra control, and some of Orochimaru's lesser moves, but these memories have been suppressed and will awaken when Orochimaru uses them.

On an unrelated note I found out about a boy named Juugo. A few years ago he apparently come to us for some cure to stop him from killing people. A bunch of scientists laughed at this and he went into a violent rage, he turned into some horrid monster, and killed fifteen scientists and one test subject. Orochimaru managed to knock the boy out and is now doing something with his blood, and is now trying to create something he calls a Curse Seal.

April 8, 7 A.K.

In our last experiments, Naruto adapted much better to the chameleon D.N.A, which also enhanced his already incredible sight so our next job is to work on those possibilities. Our first work was with lizards. We were able to use the abilities of a Gekko to give him the ability to stick to most surfaces. By working with Iguana D.N.A. the boy now sports an impressive set of claws, which are more like daggers actually.

When using this form his hands grow to be three times their normal size and the horn-like nails on his hands and feet, which become covered in green scales and change in way that you would have never thought they belong to a human encompass the entire tip of his fingers and toes instead of the top like normal people.

He also sports a nice tail that is incredibly flexible and is about two feet long and is expected to grow as he does, thanks to the fox and Octopus D.N.A. Of course Orochimaru wanted us to add in the abilities of a snake. Now Naruto has all of the physical abilities Orochimaru gives himself and a set of piousness fangs that can release several different venom's on his target, all though it depends on what poison he wants to use.

And yesterday I found out about Orochimaru's Curse Seal experiment. He told me that he finally perfected his experiment with Juugo's blood. So far he has given the Curse Seals to one-hundred and fifty people. Unfortunately only six people survived; Kimimaro, Tayuya, Kidomaru, Jiroubou, the conjoined twins Sakon and Ukon. The sixth person was some Leaf girl he gave his prototype seal to a few years ago before I joined him, and abandoned her in Sea Country. Apparently when a person who receives the Curse Seal, has a one in a ten percent chance of surviving the process. Such a horrid fate, but sacrafices are necessary in the process of our research.

November 20, 7 A.K.

Our work with mobility is finally complete. In the last half a year we worked on giving him the ability to reach any terrain, be it air, sea or even underground without the use of ninjutsu. Amachi had shown a great interest in the underwater aspect of this next change, hmm...maybe the sadistic freak likes fish or something.

Surprisingly this is the first time that someone outside of the Kyuubi child has shown the ability to adapt to the changes they have had done to them. A little girl about the boy's age has been adapting almost as well as Naruto to the treatment for reason's we don't yet understand completely, but I believe she might have a bloodline, but I have nothing to prove it.

Naruto and Isarabi have clung to each other and have become very good friends all though they don't have much of a choice in this place. I'm happy for the boy. Perhaps he'll be able to keep his sanity in these last days as long as he's with her. I try to be friendly to him in the time between experiments but, the monster inside of him stops me from getting close.

Outside of me and Isarabi, no one here is very kind to him. To give him the ability of flight we thought it was best to stick with mammal D.N.A. and he can now sprout a pair of bat wings. We made some modifications to his lizard form for our subterrain work.

January 10, 8 A.K.

Ten days ago we received a bunch of new test subjects; they're several members from the Fuuma Clan, a few boys named Zaku, Suigetsu, Takashi, and Dashi, and a girl named Kin. And the most unbelievable thing has happened, Naruto befriended all of them, this has never happened before, at least not in this kind of place.

They are probably the only family they'll ever have, but I'm getting off track today we operated on both Naruto's and Zaku's arms installing tubes into their arms. We've experimented on the Fuuma Clan members by giving one wings, giving one spider powers from Kidomaru, and installed some combat memories into the oldest one for a pincer like weapon. We are in the middle of giving Suigetsu the ability to control water.

For Dachi we're in the middle of very painful process for bone manipulation, and we'll do the same for Naruto once he is done with his operation.

And for Takashi we've found a dead body of a woman in Water Country, but not just any woman she's a Hyouton, a person who has the ability to control ice. Starting tomorrow we'll start experimenting on him to see if we can give him her bloodline ability.

May , 8 A.K. Sarutobi noticed that there were a couple of tear drops on this page

Our work is complete. Our final project was to increase the boy's toughness. We tried several things to achieve this. First we used Insect D.N.A. to almost to multiply the toughness of his skin to ten times what it once was. Using blood samples we got from a Kaguya that Orochimaru manipulated we have been able to increase the density of his bones, but we were unable to copy their ability to take the bones out of their bodies.

Dashi is the only person other than Naruto who has been able to survive this process, and this time I have proof that he had a bloodline limit. The child has the ability to change his bones into steel and we believe he'll have the ability to use Iron Style techniques. The only reason he survived the experiments was the fact that his bloodline was activated when we put the seals on him, many clans from Water Country have been sealing away their blood limits. I believe our seals canceled his.

We've hit a snag with Suigetsu instead of him controlling water, he instead turned into water. Orochimaru was most displeased and put him in a tank at another base.

For Takashi we've successfully transferred the womans D.N.A into him, and now he's able to use Ice Style abilities. Unlike those shinobi in Snow Country who need cold climates for their jutsu's. You see thanks to the Hyouton bloodline they can create ice anywhere weather it be in the forest, mountains, on the sea, even in the desert! However during the operation one of the scientists decided to betray us, he destroyed the woman's body, and blinded the poor boy. But that was a blessing in disguise, even when blinded the boy fought and killed the man and he was high Jounin level ninja. That boy shows real promise as a sensor type shinobi, and I'll ask the Sannin permission to increase this skill further.

For Kin we've decided to let her go. From the beginning I saw no real promise for her, unlike her companion Zaku she didn't even have a remote chance as a subject. Whatever tests we tried on er were immediately rejected by her body. I reported this to Orochimaru, but in an unusual gesture he decided to let her go, when I asked why he only gave me that creepy smile of his and said, "Her usefulness isn't over."

As for the Fuuma members we have been working extensively on their 'leader' Arashi. Orochimaru is turning him into something called a Casualty Puppet, I don't know what it is but something tells me I don't want to find out.

I've been trying to spend more time with Naruto but, he is too scared of me to let me get close. I doubt that he'd ever let anyone in a white jacket near him again. I just want to make his last days peaceful because soon Orochimaru will be ready to take over. I hate doing this to the boy but...I will harden my heart to destroy that monster.

Unknown date The next page was too warped for him to read the date. It took everything he had to make out the wet writing

Oh my God, what have I done? What kind of monster am I? Two weeks ago Orochimaru tried to take over the child's body. We tried to weaken Kyuubi by using some seals but, we seriously underestimated the creature's power. Orochimaru was forced out of the boy's body and was put into a coma by the demon. While Orochimaru was knocked out most of the other medics were working on him. This made them overlook one small thing they had been doing since the beginning of 'Project Beast'.

They forgot to change the blood work. It was such a small change that I would have never noticed if not for this. The no name orphan that son of a bitch told me about...is my son...Naruto Namikaze. I put my own son through that hell! Even if it wasn't my son what I did was beyond wrong! I was so blinded by my hate that I helped that psychotic bastard mutate and kill innocent children! Minato...can you ever forgive me? I know my actions will not allow me to go where you are when I die. No matter what I do this sin will remain with me but, perhaps I can set some things right.

When Orochimaru woke up he said that since the boy would never work for us he's going to kill him, but I plan on being half way to Wind Country by then. I'm going to leave Naruto on the shore of Sea Country. I've already sent a note to Konoha and they should be here tonight. Naruto-kun, Minato-kun I'll be back one day. I'll make up for what I have done to you. I love you Naruto and so does your father. Always remember that.

Journal Ends

Sarutobi just sat there a minute before jumping up and running full speed towards the hospital. When he got there, there was a small group of shinobi and doctors sitting outside of his room.

"Lord Hokage we have a problem!" one of the ninjas screamed out.

As the Sadaime Hokage got closer to the boys room he saw a red glow coming from it. When he was in front of the door he saw red chakra flowing all over the room. Naruto sat on the bed in a fetal position.

"What happened here?" Sarutobi roared.

"We don't know! When the boy woke up he took one look at the doctors and then the chakra barrier appeared and force them out of the room. No one has been able to get in since." one of the shinobi replied.

'I doubt that he'd ever let anyone in a white jacket near him again. Damn it!' Sarutobi thought.

The old Hokage went closer to the door and began to bang his hand on the barrier. "Naruto, can you hear me? It's alright now! You're safe!" he shouted.

Naruto tilted his head up just a bit and looked into the old man's eyes. "Old man Hokage." he whispered as the barrier began to fade away. Immediately the old man rushed into the room buried the boy in a hug. The Naruto did what any child would do when he realized all of his torment was over. He broke down and he cried.

Armageddon: I've taken over and before I forget the pairings are Naruto, Kin, Isarabi, Tenten, Ino, Anko, Hinata, Female Haku, Tayuya, Sasame, and an Oc. That's what the author wanted in terms of me taking this over.
