Crystal Snow
Chapter 1 - Awaken
I do not own anything relating to Naruto series.
Notes before reading -
-The age of the next generation of ninja (Konohamaru, Udon, Hanabi) is only two years younger than the Naruto generation (Naruto, Sasuke, Neji)
-This is also the first work that I've uploaded. I please ask you for advice to help make this story and future stories better. If people want my other none uploaded work, which is much worse than this, I'll upload it.
-As I have no idea who this character should be paired up with, or even at all, I'll let people who read decide. I'll set up a poll for people who care enough about the OC and want to influence the story. If their is someone who is not on the poll then please tell me and I will update the poll ASAP. It will most likely be Hanabi if no one votes. The voting will end as late as chapter 10 but is subject to change.
The night was dark and bitter cold. To anyone else this weather would spell the death of them, but for one lone figure was walking in it as if it was summer. He was a simple child,barely six years old, with a dirty dark blue long sleeve shirt and gray pants. He had straight white hair that covered his silver iris eyes. He was also covered in ice and blood that splattered him.
One would ask why a boy so young would be out in this cold weather without a parent, even more so covered in blood. This boy had a major secret that was scared many people. He was a special jinchūriki, one that did not hold a tailed beast, but of a element that came to life. The element of ice. The element, given the name Koori, grew into a endless rage when it came into existence. This forced the clan that lived in the area, the konayuki, to seal the beast.
Unfortunately, no one in the clan had the correct ability to seal the beast into a object. They needed someone who was a small child who could handle having an entire element thrusted upon them. Thus how the boy, named Kurai, named after his situation, got the beast sealed into him.
Kurai had very little in his life. Because of the attack by the beast his parents were killed so he had no home to live in. People didn't want to adopt him for fear of the element being released and killing them all. So Kurai had lived his life alone, living on whatever scraps of food he could find. He was always happy that he was never cold, he could never figure out why though. When people got frostbite, he was fine, it confused him but he just figured that he was special. There was also the fact that people beat him almost daily. He never understood why people hit him or why on one specific days more so. That was the reason he was walking alone.
He was being beaten again. The people who beat him usually stopped when they spilled blood, but for some reason today they just kept going and going. More and more blood was being split. Kurai then felt a pulse on his stomach. Not knowing what it was he tried to stop the pulses and defend himself from the people. Eventually he couldn't handle the pressure and the seal sent out a huge wave of chakra. This caused all the people who was beating Kurai suddenly get impaled by ice. Ice also started to cover the wounds he had from weapons they had used. What is this….? That was the last thought as he fell into unconsciousness.
Kurai awoke to a field of fine snow. Great, where am I? He thought as he started to wander around the field, not noticing his steps here not making any impressions on the snow. Eventually his wandering lead him to a cave with a enormous mouth. I would hate to meet the thing that lives in there. Kurai made the biggest mistake of all, walking to the cave mouth.
As he stepped closer he noticed ran into something. Taking a look he saw that it was clear and hard, much harder than ice, in vertical line. What is this stuff? A rumble deep in the cave shook him and surprisingly gave him the answer,
"That little one is crystal." Kurai was in deep terror, that voice held so much power he felt like ant. "No need to be afraid, I will not, and can not, hurt you." Normally something like a disembodied voice telling you that would make someone freak out more, but Kurai felt a warm caring tone that attracted him. As he stepped toward the crystal bars of ice he felt the power increase exponentially. "Young one, you must wonder who I am." Kurai nodded his head. "Very well, your people have given me the name Koori," the boy jumped away as a massive dragon-like creature made out of pure ice came into view.
"What? How?" Kurai was trying to rack his small brain on how the beast that ravaged his village was still alive.
"The answer to your questions are quite simple young one. What happened was that coming into existence my intelligence was not fully developed so I was running on pure instincts. How I'm here is that your, now former, clans men sealed me into you." The dragon took a look at the boy who had his face scrunched. Then everything started to set in. All the pain he suffered through, all the hate the people had for him, it was because of the thing in front of him. He wanted to yell at the beast, he almost did but something stopped him. He looked around and saw the situation that the dragon was in and it looked like the same thing on the real world for him, only not as literally. He then tried to think of what to do. He had killed his own clans members and would be killed himself if he stayed so that was out of the question. He then just sat their for hours trying to think of what to do. Just when he was about to give up Koori shuffled it's body a little. Kurai then realized he wasn't alone anymore and didn't need to think alone.
"Okay, what should we do now?" That surprised Koori a little when the child talked. He thought his host had went insane, but it looked like he got everything together, as well as he could.
"We should find a safe place to stay, even for a little bit. Then plan out our next move from there." Koori gave Kurai a look he couldn't quite put a phrase out but he felt safer and warmer.
After that conversation Kurai woke up and started to move in a random direction. Listening to Koori giving him advice on how to survive.
Four years, four long bloody years. Kurai thought to himself as he walked in a dense forest. Over the four years Kurai grew quickly. Reaching a height of 5' 6", which is tall for a ten year old. He now wore a deep dark blue cloak that covered a loose dark shirt and black pants. Over the years Koori helped him train his body and his chakra. This lead to him being extremely strong, being a jinchūriki his body could heal quicker as he slept so he didn't need to worry about permanent damage to himself.
Early during his travels he also ran into bandits who attempted to rob him. He couldn't outrun them so he had to kill them. He still remembered when he stabbed the first one with a blade of ice, which he made out of his chakra. The blood running down his hand freaked him out and his brain stopped. Forcing Koori to manipulate whatever water around them into ice and kill the rest. Kurai couldn't eat for a week after that. He forced himself afterwards though to make sure to live so Koori could live. Killing someone up close like that was too much for him still and he still woke up once in a while in a cold sweat, which was unique for him.
After he got over that he started to take jobs to hunt down men. He learned quickly not to ask why he was being paid. Training in between jobs he slowly made his way around the Elemental Nations. He visited the ninja villages learning what he could from the ninja. Usually just common techniques, but at times some rarer jutsu were given to him by more friendlier people. Out of all he learned though he enjoyed his Crystal Ice Style the best.
Because he was the host of ice it changed his chakra that allowed him a freeze objects with direct contact, or water with only chakra, which did wonders for his chakra allowed him to always pack light on weapons from his massive jonin level reserves of chakra. He also designed a taijutsu around his ability to freeze things, making quick and gentle hits to slow enemies and then hit them with more powerful hits later on, he dubbed it Ice Fist. It also allowed him to have the element of surprise on the enemy, hey it isn't everyday you see a spear made out of ice get shove though your friends gut. It also got him his nickname in the bingo book as a B ranked threat being called the Arctic Ghost
Kurai stopped in mid of his stride as a giant wall came into view. Dense forest, check. Giant wooden wall, check. So this must be the village hidden in the leaves. I wonder what surprises will be awaiting me in there. He started to walk again toward the giant gates, not know the effect it would have on the entire world.
