"Alas!"the mysterious figure dressed in a peculiar black robe exclaimed ."To everyone that won't be able to witness the miracle of technology that is going to unfold between our eyes today!"
"Cut the bullshit man!"an Elder retorted irritated. "We want the implants in him now!And the Rinnegan if it's possible."
"For Hayato to awaken the Rinnegan…"the ambassador explained."It is necessary for him to firstly awaken the Sharingan!"
"Your company has a plan for this right?"the middle Elder asked.
The ambassador then grinned and took of the glove from his right hand,unveiling a metallic hand.A hologram the shot from the hand,a hologram that depicted half of a woman's body,in terrible condition.In fact,it appeared that she was kept alive through mechanical support.All of the Elders gasped upon witnessing the hologram,not because of the condition of the girl but because they knew who the girl was.
"This is the Artifact."the ambassador said ."But…most of you know her by the name Eida."
"There's no way you possess the body!Let alone keep her alive!"
"How did you even find her!This isn't some type of replica to deceive us,right?"
"How did you manage to pass this through the border?There's no way the Electric Eye didn't pick up it's chakra signal!"
There was a general confusion amongst the Elders,as this particular girl appeared to be very important,as even her torn body sparked confusion and terror.
"All of you calm down,please!We are going to connect her with the Uchiha via chakra and use her ability,the Omnipotence ,to show him the terrible past of his lineage!Not only show him,make him feel every single amount of pain that his ancestors inflicted on the human race!And then…BOOM!SHARINGAN!"
The ambassador seemed to have caught the Elders's attention.
"Uchiha Hayato will then hate himself for the sins of his lineage.He will be filled with guilt and angst,traumatised after living the horrors of the past.He will be filled with rage,defying his own family,turning away from them.And then…you'll have in your hands a mentally unstable,easily manipulated killing machine!"the ambassador thoroughly explained the procedure,sure for the success of his operation.
"Lastly,though genetic mutation,we will invoke the power of the Rinnegan through the Sharingan,thanks to the primordial Otsutsuki DNA in this child."
Grins appeared on the Elder's faces,as the ambassador's words were very appealing to them.They foolishly believed that Hayato would be their one puppet,a tool to do their bidding.But that was not the case.Contrary to his words,the ambassador and his company had other plans.
"Enough of this sir.We like to initiate the procedure now! Inozen won't be asleep for a long!"an Elder demanded,as the chip in Inozen's brain had limited effect.Inozen waking up would be a terrible turn of events,since him having a controllable piece of his hand inside the Neuroclinic gave him the ability to interfere with the surgery.
"I wouldn't drag the explanation any longer,dear sir.Now,sit back and relax,as science turns a feeble kid into a god before your very eyes!"and with this enthusiastic sentence,the ambassador initiated the procedure,alerting the surgeons via chakra signal.
_______________________________
Things were eerily quiet at the Neuroclinic,as the clock displayed 3:33 in the morning.All of the patients were sleeping,naturally,so did little Hayato.It was like this until he felt his bed rolling away from it's place.
He could barely open his eyes,he tried to keep his eyelids open but his attempt was in vain.He could see a figure over him rolling his head through the corridor,but he couldn't define who exactly they were.Possibly a surgeon .Finally,they made it to the surgery room,where figures stood besides the door.
Instantly then,something struck his right hand.He felt a cold essence racing through his arm and it wasn't until a few seconds later that he fell completely asleep,unconscious.
"We may start now."the surgeon glazed at his colleagues near the door.They seemed that they were mumbling something,no,not 'something'.They were praying at 'something'.
The automatic door opened after a mechanism detected the doctor's chakra signal.The door led to a fairly big room, where a huge mechanism hanging from the ceiling stood out.This mechanism had many mechanical arms,each arm bearing a different tool.
The surgeon rolled the bed to the middle of the room,directly below the mechanism.Noticeable were the seals that appeared around the bed and different types of sealing tags that were already there.And just at the other side,facing directly at Hayato's bed stood the Artifact.It appeared like a fridge,the contents of which were not able to be seen,black in color,with many wires etched on it's base.
The surgeons kept distance from the bed and positioned themselves behind chakra consoles that controlled the mechanism on the ceiling.Then,a wire crawled at Hayato's bed and dug itself in the back of his head.A hologram then appeared on the console,giving a complete 3d structure of his brain and vitals.
"Tenketsu abnormalities in the frontal lobe,apparently."a surgeon declared."We have a clear view of the first problem we have to solve."A mechanical arm hovered over Hayato's forehead holding a gleaming device,not bigger than a dime.
"Do not insert the microchip yet."the leading surgeon commanded. "Let's analyse the chakra frequencies emitted by the abnormal tenketsu.I need to get a bigger image of the problem."
Another hologram was projected from a console,picturing bizarre shapes that resembled radio signals. The surgeons analysed the patterns the shapes made for a minute.Yet none of them made any comments on the patterns.They simply stood bewildered,throwing glances between themselves to see if any of their colleagues understood what the patterns meant.
"Sir…"a surgeon called the leading one. "There must be a problem with the console.The patterns indicate a chakra connection to somewhere."
The surgeons nailed their eyes to the hologram,their eyes fully widened in shock.
"It's not possible…"the leading surgeon attempted to reassure himself. "This is a brand new console from Kiri.There is no way the readings are wrong!"
"Also…according to the chakra frequencies this connection isn't new.It has been established…10 years ago…"the surgeon analysing the console explained,his speech getting slower and slower as it was affected by shock .
"I don't know what type of 'connection' is and I simply don't care .I only know that these abnormal tenketsu render Hayato Uchiha unable for combat and we'll get them fixed!"
The mechanical arm swiftly cut a hole into Hayato's cranium and etched the microchip into his brain.Instantly then another arm approaches his forehead,picked up the piece of cranium that had been cut off and sewed it with clear precision and efficiency.All of this in no more than 10 seconds.
The chip slowly established a chakra linkage and rearranged the function of the abnormal tenketsu.Yet,this implant was still not able to fully fix Hayato's condition.
"Symptoms like psychosis might still occur,but at least his cognitive functions are now normal."the surgeon operating the mechanism said.
"Good."the leading surgeon exclaimed with a grin behind his mask . "We are one step closer to the creation of a…perfect shinobi."

"Where am I?"
"Why does my body…feel so heavy?"
Hayato opened his eyes and found himself in the corridor of the Neuroclinic.He glanced at his reflection on the floor and noticing he still wore the patient's attire.Last thing he remembered was him rolling into the surgery room.So why was he there?He was pretty sure surgery wasn't over yet.
"Am I…dreaming?Is this supposed to happen?" he questioned to himself and looked behind him towards the surgery room.
Layered whispers could be heard from the door,dark silhouettes made their appearance near it and disappeared immediately.Suddenly then a loud boom resonated behind the door.A dent formed on it with the outline of a hand.
Hayato felt his heart stopping for a second as he gasped in shock.Yet for an unknown reason,he was tempted to approach the door.He steadily strolled towards it until a skinny,pale hand bursted through the dent when Hayato was close the door.The hand was electrified by a mysterious force and a deafening screech of agony followed.
He instantly covered his ears and shivered in terror as tears flowed uncontrollably through his face,shocked as he was.
Hayato peeked through the hole created by the arm.Nothing appeared to be on the other side of the room.Or at least this was what he thought.
A visage appeared right in front of Hayato's face,with the only thing separating them being the hole that was created by the hand.The visage was pale and scrawny,bore no eyebrows and had completely white eyes with an expression of rage that wrinkled and contorted it.This sight made Hayato to cover once again his ears and close his eyes tightly in horror,as this face was single-handedly the most terrifying thing he had ever witnessed.
"SHAME!Such a shame that they want to take the only thing that I gave to you,my son!" The visage spoke in a voice that made Hayato understand that he wasn't another illusion.This voice was distinguishable,had identity,it differed from the other voices that Hayato usually heard.In fact,he had heard this voice again,in his dreams.
"They are trying to severe are connection,our father and son bond!"the visage spoke with great arrogance and irony. "Come on!Dont close your eyes and ears!Dont try to reject your family!"the harder Hayato tried to cover his ears the louder the visage could be heard.He couldn't help but keep sobbing,there was nothing else he could do in this situation anyway.
"Your future is soaked in blood,my dearest son.It was already over from the moment you inherited my genes.For all genes have a predestined fate.And bearing the Otsutsuki genes means bearing the Otsutsuki will. And that is constant thirst of powers through constant evolution!"
"NO!"Hayato cried through the visage's words . "There is no way a monster like you is my father!You are not my father!"
The visage laughed maniacally,Hayato didn't dare to open his eyes and take a detailed glance at the being that claimed to be his father .
"You can barely mold chakra,you have no kekkei genkai,you have nothing of those things that made your ancestors special!Face it!You and your sister are birth defects.Pity!You would probably be the strongest shinobi that have ever lived on Earth,if it wasn't for me!"
"STOP!"Hayato wailed once more but his cries were in vain.He curled and faced to the floor, keeping his eyes shut.
"None of this matters now.Soon,my son,you will learn the truth and live through your past,just as the fates foreshadowed…"
___________________
He opened his eyes and reluctantly arose,as he noticed that the environment around him changed.A blinding white background emerged around him,empty,without a trace of sound or any other living being.However,there was someone standing besides him,a woman in fact.
Hayato noted her presence through his peripheral vision and flinched for a second.He hastily turned towards her but she couldn't recognize her .Hayato could only describe her appearance as that of a model,with long hair dyed blue and pink.The woman fashioned expensive clothing,a linen shirt and shorts,both bearing platinum pins that resembled the moon.Her most bizarre characteristic was her eyes.It was like the whole night sky was in them,with bright blue crescents instead of irises.
Hayato stared at her eyes for a second and concluded that this woman bore an unknown dojutsu.
"It seems that you fancy my eyes,eyeballing me so indiscreetly!"she replied to Hayato's scanning with a slight grin.
"Actually I like your eyes too!They remind me of your mother's!"upon hearing this complement,Hayato hastily rose up and backed a bit in panic.
"Who are you?D-do you know me?"
"Relax,your mom and me used to be friends."
"W-where are we?"Hayato's pulses started to relax,as he understood that she wasn't some kind of hostile entity.
"This is your subconscious mind.We are both connected through our chakra pathways and exchange information as we please.It'd be a shame if I'd show you my actual body inside that box."
"Box?"
The woman sighed and the environment around them changed once again.They found themselves in the operation room,with Hayato standing besides his unconscious self and the woman besides that "box" that she was referring to.
"My body exists in that cryogenic sarcophagus in a…sorry state.Through that wire…"she pointed to the ground "…our chakra pathways are connected."
"My name is Eida.You may not know me ,but I know your parents and relatives pretty well."
"Why are you here?"Hayato asked,as Eida didn't appear to be part of the Neuroclinic's personal nor some kind of medical ninja.
"To show you the truth.After all you deserve to know it."
Hayato became confused for a second .What kind of truth was she talking about?He thought that his only purpose on the operation room was to get that microchip implanted in this brain and leave.
"I know that you are confused and for that I am sorry.I also apologize for everything that will follow."her attitude shifted,melancholy in her voice.Hayato picked up that change in tone and his heart started racing.Something bad was going to happen.
He looked at his unconscious self on the table,noticing the small scar on his forehead caused by the implantation of the chip.He gazed around him,noticing that the surgeons were still operating the consoles.It was this moment that Hayato understood that the surgery was still not done yet .
"Right know."Eida said "The truth will start unfolding in front of your eyes."
The machine above Hayato's unconscious body started wiggling and few of its many arms approached him,some of them bearing cutting lazers and saws.Upon witnessing the mechanical arms nearing menacingly his body,Hayato felt his body numbing in terror and his breathing halting from shock.He couldn't do anything but close his eyes.Nevertheless even that seemed impossible.For some reason,his eyelids wouldn't listen to his commands.
In a blink of an eye ,the machine used lazers to flay the skin off his arms,utilised drills and saws to cut through his flesh and remove his bones.Instantly then,one arm approached his body and replaced his bones titanium-hardened artificial ones.After this procedure,several needles that bore chemical substances were used to alter the structure of his muscles,tripling their density in muscle fibers.
Lastly ,the machine installed new skin on his arms,much more durable in fact.The machine used hammers and nails to bestow metal on his hands,forearms and elbows,an alloy made from titanium and tungsten.
"STOP!NO!WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME?"Hayato fell on his knees and cried with all his might,as he helplessly witnessed the surgeon mutilating and altering him.His whole body trembled in terror,while he felt his breath running short.Never in his life had he felt his heart pumping that fast.
"Make them stop,please!"he turned towards Eida,tears flowing on his face.Yet she gave him a hopeless look,making him understand that every attempt to stop everything that was happening in front of his eyes futile.
The machine didn't stop at his arms.It whirred and hummed mechanically as it repeated the same process with his whole body.Hayato stared at his paralysed self,completely altered,a body with it's muscles exposed as the machine swiftly changed his whole body structure.His eyes were nailed at his newly acquire mechanical parts,he stared in disbelief at the whole sight,unable to accept that such fate would be bestowed upon him.
The final touch of this twisted modification would be on his neck and head.The machine carefully snipped away the muscles and arteries his neck.Before blood could even spurt from his neck,the machine's arms hastily reconstructed his neck with metallic artificial muscles and arteries that could pump blood much faster than before.Those artificial arteries behaved like living beings and extended through his whole body,engulfing his cardiovascular system and reinforcing it.
"STOP!"Hayato screeched as he feebly watched this gruesome event.Horror and shock turned into fury,as he glanced at the main surgeon in pure wrath.He tried to lunge at him yet his attempt was in vain,as if an invisible entity forced him still.
"STOP IT YOU DAMNED-…"he writhed in anger,as he pounded the ground with his fist.Then,as if the machine fed on Hayato's despair,terror and anger,the mechanical arms sliced of his ears and replaced them with cybernetic implants that enhanced his hearing.Finally,the machine installed metallic implants on his face,particularly nose,cheeks and jaw,in order to strengthen the durability of his cranium.
Hayato fell on the ground as his anger relaxed,mindlessly hitting his head against the ground.
"Why,why,why,why…"he kept repeating this words to himself while tears fell on the floor.
"Why did this had to…"he sniffled "…happen to me?"
Eida carefully approached him while being completely silent during the whole procedure.Hayato turned himself and gazed at her with a look of pure hopelessness.She instantly flinched and took a step behind,as she noticed something shocking in Hayato's face.
"Those eyes…They've finally revealed themselves.The Sharingan!"
An amalgamation of negative emotions triggered the awakening of this cursed dojutsu.Not only she noticed the Kekkei Genkai,but the doctors as well.
"I am detecting abnormal chakra signals in his optic nerves.His heartbeat has relaxed,apparently she made him watch the whole sequence."the surgeon operating the chakra consoles declared.
The leading surgeon then approached Hayato's body and opened his eyelids with his fingers.He then held upwards his left arm with his index and middle finger extended.
"Two tomoe,both eyes."he exclaimed in satisfaction. "Ladies and gentlemen,we finally hit jackpot."

"I'm sorry little guy." Eida placed her hand at his shoulder. "But you deserve to know what they're doing to y-"
"I hate you!"he shoved away her arm and got up.
"You're gonna definitely hate me more in a few minutes."and then suddenly,the environment around them changed completely and became otherworldly in nature.
The floor shifted into a crystal-like reflective substance while the sky became starry.Yet,the moon appeared a bit different,as it resembled the iris of Eida's peculiar dojutsu.
"This astral plane unfolding between your eyes is nothing more than a genjutsu,a blank canvas.Come…it's time for you to finally learn who you are!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
