A/N: Okay. I'm not entirely sure where this idea came from. But it just wouldn't leave me alone. So I decided to post it and see how my faithful readers liked it. Hope you enjoy. And apologies for short chapters. Writing from my phone is a pain.

Chapter one: Prologue.

Kizashi Haruno, father of Sakura Haruno, and current member of the Civilian council after he quit being a Shinobi, woke up with a deep groan, an overhead light swinging left and right. His vision blurry. He remembered that he was on his way home… then something hit him from behind. Now here he was, strapped down on some kind of operating table. Was he in a hospital? A morgue? Some kind of laboratory?

He heard running water from a sink faucet and turned his head towards its direction, he froze when he saw a familiar mop of spiky blonde hair. "Evening Kizashi-san. I hope you're uncomfortable yes?" the blonde spoke as he turned, while rubbing his wet hands with a cloth. Then he put on a white apron then continued speaking "Shame all of your constituents have gone missing. Oh wait, it wasn't a shame s8nce they were most deplorable people."

Kizashi paled at that. For weeks his supporters had gone missing on a regular basis. He had thought one of his political rivals was behind it. But this boy was behind it? "What have you done with them?!" asked the Ex-Shinobi as he struggled against the tight restraints.

The blonde shrugged and replied in a nonchalant tone "Eh, here. There. All over. I kept the pieces I needed." At that last part he picked up a jar containing a pair of lungs. "They were excellent throwaway materials." He spoke as he placed the jar with others containing various organs.

"If you're wondering where you are… well… I trust you heard the legend of the Dollmaker?" asked the blonde in a jovial manner. The name struck a chord in the pink-haired man's memories. The Dollmaker was said to be a puppetmaster that was crippled during the Bloody Clan Wars. He acknowledged that without their puppets then a puppetmaster would be practically defenseless.

So in secret he built a laboratory and decided to create a brand new series of puppets called 'Dolls' that could act, move and even think and talk independently from their masters. But his work was left incomplete and he mysteriously vanished from history and his infamous workshop remained undiscovered. Then it passed into little more than urban legend.

"You… are the… Dollmaker?" asked Kizashi in terror. The blonde boy shrugged and replied "Yes and no. I am the CURRENT Dollmaker. My predecessor left all this behind underneath Konoha and I discovered it by happenstance two years ago. Since then I was… shall we say, enamored by his work. I have consumed almost all of my free time here. Researching how to make Dolls. Dolls from all sorts of materials both organic and nonorganic. My using your supporters as materials helped my research and also eliminated some of my tormentors. Two birds and one stone, yeah?"

The pink-haired man froze in fear… then he heard the sounds of footsteps. He then saw a woman in an all black dress and bonnet, her face was pale, almost porcelain like, and her hair and eyes appeared to be silvery… but her hands… were different. (A/N: In short, think of the Doll from Bloodborne.)

He could only come to a single conclusion and spoke it out loud "Is… she… a Doll?" Naruto said nothing for a moment as the Doll bowed slightly and set a tray down on an adjacent table "Your tea and snacks, young master. Crème or sugar?" she spoke in a soft voice.

The blonde replied to her "Two sugars. Thank you, Doll." She nodded and prepared his tea for him, in that moment the blonde turned to his captive and answered his question "Yes. She is, in fact… an actual working Doll. My first success. I surpassed the previous Dollmaker. You see, in his desire to make the Dolls perfect, he forgot a single and Essential piece: a power source. He tried electricity, and it was mildly unsuccessful. The Dolls could only parrot back some words or small sentences and moved slowly and stiffly like an animatronic. He then tried Chakra which was equally unsuccessful because the Chakra couldn't maintain itself long enough for the Dolls to activate.

Then he decided on one last source, but lacked the recourses to acquire it… Bijuu Chakra. Chakra so potent it is said to even saturate the air for a brief period of time. He couldn't get a bit of the stuff so he have up… I however have an all access pass. And my precious Doll here, was a complete success."

Kizashi Haruno's blood ran colder and colder. If this boy could actually create Dolls like that… he could build a veritable army. Maybe even plant sleeper agents to destroy Konoha from the inside out. The blonde chuckled as he sipped his tea and unfurled a tool kit with various sharp tools, scalpels and other instruments for dissection. "I have found condemned men to be honest men. A few weeks ago I was prepping this guy, some banker that worked for you, he was babbling like a baby… then he told me an… interesting story.

Something, something, about a woman called 'Kushina Uzumaki'. Said that you wanted her as a trophy wife, she violently rejected you, and kicked you in the balls and made your left nut pop. Now, I don't believe in coincidence so I looked into this Kushina woman. However I couldn't find any records in either Civilian or Kunoichi records. Which meant one of two things: Mr. Banker was lying or… maybe he was telling the truth and this Kushina woman's records were destroyed. If it was the latter, I thought to myself 'Why destroy the records of a woman that shares my surname?' So… tell me about this Kushina woman and I might be persuaded to let you out of my workshop."

Kizashi's self-preservation instincts kicked in so he chose to tell the blonde boy and hoped it would appease him enough to release him "Okay! I'll talk! Kushina Uzumaki was your predecessor! She was the Nidaime Kyubi Jinchuuriki! Many years ago the Uzumaki's were a clan and village unto themselves! Konoha and Uzu were allies due to the marriage between Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju! But some years ago, Uzu was attacked by a coalition of Villages and was destroyed! The remaining survivors scattered to the winds and Kushina was brought here!

She then became a Kunoichi who was so fierce and deadly that she became known as Kushina 'The Evil' Uzumaki. A Kunoichi that took the scalps of her victims! The name alone was enough to send shivers down the spine of even the Sandaime Raikage, Z! She vanished after the Kyuubi attack and the Yondaime passed away! The records were destroyed and all traces of Uzu and the Uzumaki clan were struck from the history books by orders of the Sandaime and the backing of the Daimyo! That's all I know, I swear!"

Naruto digested all of this information as he casually tapped a scalpel against the table. He popped a scone into his mouth and hmmed quietly as he chewed in thought. The Doll stood by, waiting for her master's response. Finally the blonde spoke "If Uzu and this Kushina were struck from the records it is plain to see, there's an entire conspiracy going on. Revolving around her, the clan, and myself. Thank you Kizashi-san. That information shall prove most invaluable . I think we're done."

With that the blonde jabbed a needle and injected the fluids into the Pink-haired man, who's eyes closed almost immediately as he drifted off to sleep.

With a jolt Kizashi woke up in his bed, breaking out in a cold sweat, he looked about and found himself in his home. He rubbed his forehead and wondered if the whole thing was some kind of weird nightmare. He saw a feminine figure in his bed next to him and cuddled up next to her. He then noticed something was wrong… she felt… cold… he raised in eyebrow at that wondering what was wrong with his wife.

The bedroom door opened revealing his wife Mebuki whom yawned and was still fully dressed… she looked at her husband in his bed, then slapped two hands over her mouth, her eyes filled with horror. She broke out a scream and dashed out the door slamming it behind her. Kizashi, then turned to the female he was cuddled next to and flipped on a lamp to see who it was. With a click the lamp bulb flashed on, revealing the female next to him to be a corpse, her throat had been slashed but was stitched shut and cleaned. And then he noticed various body parts littered around his bed.

Horror filled him… his 'nightmare' was real! The Kyuubi brat deliberately planted this corpse and body parts to frame him as some kind of serial killer! He leapt from the bed and tried to open the door, but it had been barricaded from the other side! "MEBUKI! LET ME OUT! I'VE BEEN FRAMED! I HAVE BEEN FRAMED! THAT BASTARD NARUTO DID THIS! I'VE BEEN FRAMED!" he screamed in terror as he desperately beat down the down, trying to escape.

Downstairs, Mebuki was on the phone, screaming into it, alerting the Shinobi on what she had discovered. Some minutes later, Anko Mitarashi arrived with a number of Chunin. And arrested Kizashi Haruno on the spot.

"THIS IS ALL A MISTAKE! I WAS FRAMED! I WAS FRAMED! THAT KYUUBI BRAT DID THIS! HE FRAMED ME!" screamed Kizashi, in a tone that only a small child throwing a tantrum could use, combined with kicking the air as he struggled in the Chunin's grip. Anko scratched her head as she identified the woman who was still in one piece as a typical Jane Doe, though from the needle marks on her arms and legs she led anything but a clean life.

The pink-haired man wailed as they dragged him away and sat him down. The Chunin then brought Naruto, whom Kizashi kept claiming was the one who framed him. After the Snake Mistress explained the situation, the blonde picked his nose and asked "Lemme get this straight? That guy, who's an ex-Shinobi, claims that I, an Academy student that failed the exam twice, dragged him to some allegedly nonexistent workshop of an old legend, interrogated him, drugged him again, dumped him, that corpse, and all his body parts while I sleeping at Kurenai-san's home? And this corpse is a Jane Doe with a cleanly slashed throat which was thoroughly cleaned and expertly stitched shut? And… I'm sorry, how could I have done all this?"

Anko and the various Chunin gave each other odd looks, the kid had a solid alibi, he was staying at Kurenai Yuhi's place who was a friend of his, and it would be physically impossible for him to do all that heavy lifting by himself. Without another word they dragged away Kizashi who kept wailing that he was framed.

The two Pariahs high fived each other. "Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help in dumping that pedophile in his bed." Spoke the blonde, the purple haired woman replied "Think nothing of it. That asshole has been stonewalling me from my promotion for years!"

The blonde's face then turned serious and asked "Tell me… did you know about my mother?" she was caught off guard for a moment but then kicked up a bit of dirt and replied "Yeah. I knew. We all did. Kurenai, Yugao, Hana, Tsume, everyone. We wanted to tell you so badly. We all tried to adopt you. But Hiruzen stopped us. Even the Aburame's, Hyuuga's, Akamichi's, Nara's and Yamanaka's all tried to put you under protective custody. But were blocked off too. If I had a choice in the matter I would have told you about Kushina-sama in a heartbeat… but if I did… you would have made powerful enemies, enemies you weren't ready for."

He considered her words for a moment then replied "Thank you. At least you kept me in the dark for my protection without an ulterior motive. I can understand that." She nodded in thanks then asked in curiosity "How'd you know she was your mother?"

"I came to that conclusion on my own. Her being the previous Kyuubi Jinchuurki, and our sharing the same Surname is beyond coincidence. Maybe one day.. I'll find her. Till then, I shall continue my research. I think I'll move on to a more advanced project."

He was about to leave but he felt a hand grab his shoulder "Naruto-kun… I need a huge favor. I need you to make me a Doll." Anko asked in a grave tone. The blonde smiled and replied casually "Certainly. What kind? Domestic? Combat? Sparring?"

She shook her head and spoke even more gravelly as though she felt ill "No… I need you to make ME a Doll." Naruto felt a chill. Was she seriously asking what he thought she was asking? "Anko-Chan. I love you and everything but… do you realize what you are asking? This better not be a sick joke."

She shook her head and pulled down the collar of her shirt, revealing her Curse Mark. Something was… off about it. It was pulsing on regular intervals like a heartbeat, and these patterns were beginning to spread across her body. "P-p-please! You have to help me! I can hear him! Feel him! Clawing and whispering in my mind! I feel these invisible hands violating me! I can't take it anymore! I would rather live an unnatural half-life as a Doll than to live a cursed life as Orochimaru's plaything! Please! You have to help me!" she cried desperately, completely out of character for her.

Naruto looked sadly at her. She had protected him, fed him, let him stay at her home, and on her own time taught him how to protect himself . It pained him to see the bold and unyielding Anko Mitarashi crying for his help. He knew that if he refused her, she would without hesitation, kill herself to avoid her fate.

"I… can't deny you. I will help. Come to my workshop and I'll fix you up." He spoke as he took her by the hand. She nodded in complete gratitude and followed him to the Workshop, which Ironically was hidden beneath the Hokage tower.

The Doll greeted them and asked "Welcome Young master and Mistress Anko. How might I serve?" the blonde answered bluntly "Fetch me the Questionnaire." The Doll curtsied and went to fetch the desired item.

Naruto sat his longtime friend down and took off her clothes, leaving her in her birthday suit. With keen surgical precision and without batting an eye, he took her measurements, from her breasts, waist and hips, down to her legs and arms, her neck, her head, and even her fingers and toes and measured. Anko was impressed, a hot naked babe like herself in front of a hormonal Academy student and he didn't so much as blush… okay maybe she saw some blushing, but he was damn good at hiding it and maintaining a professional attitude.

When he was done taking ALL of her measurements, the Doll passed her a pen and notepad. The Kunoichi skimmed over the contents of the paper and found a number of yes or no questions like 'Do you want to have children in the future?' or 'Do you want to continue to eat and/or drink?" and more humorously "Do you want to continue using the restroom?'. Things like that to ensure she gets the functions and type of body she wants.

After checking off the questions she handed the notepad to Naruto. He read over her answers carefully then nodded, and began working at almost godlike speed. He brought forth a doll body and got to work on placing and replacing the desired parts, from the fingers and toes, the arms and limbs, and so on, within minutes the Doll body looked less like a Doll and more like… Anko.

What's more is that it looked completely human. No ball joints or anything to distinguish it from human or Doll. She even touched it's face and breasts and found them to feel exactly like human flesh and skin. "How… how… how the fuck did you make this?"

The blonde chuckled and answered "Long explanation or saving your life?" she scowled at the question. But then shrugged, choosing to avoid the long and probably boring explanation. She lied down on the operating table and took some deep breaths. Tears filled her eyes, as she sniffled and spoke barely above a whisper "Naruto-kun… I'm scared."

She felt so helpless and vulnerable right now. She squeezed his hand tightly. She wasn't sure how she felt. She never trusted doctors to patch her up, so she almost always healed herself, but now she was going to undergo a massive surgery, and the one operating on her was her best friend… and the only man she ever cared for after Orochimaru's betrayal. "I'm so scared… I… I don't…" The blonde rubbed her head tenderly. "Don't worry Anko. I promise when you wake up, you will be a whole new woman. Nothing bad will happen." He spoke softly, understanding she was literally putting her life in his hand.

"Don't… don't leave me alone… okay? I don't want to wake up alone." She asked him, to which he nodded and replied "I won't. For you, it'll only be a few seconds. I promise." She nodded as he placed a mask over her face. The anesthesia putting her to sleep. Before she closed her heavy eyelids she moaned out "Naruuuuto… I…. Loooove… yoooooou." And with that she had fallen asleep.

He freed his hand from her now relaxed grip and put on his apron and gloves. He picked up the needed surgical tools and whispered "I love you too. And so I shall make you into my finest work. I will save you." With that, he cut into her and opened up her body. His absolute resolve to save his best friends life from the Curse mark, which plagued her for so long.

End chapter one.

A/N: Pretty dark, I know. But this isn't a fairy tale, boys and girls. Anyway, reviews would be much appreciated. And rest assured to Anko fans, she WILL pull through her surgery okay. That's a guarantee. Review and all that. I hope you enjoyed reading this Krazy idea as much as I enjoyed making it. And Merry Christmas!
