Before I begin, let me introduce the characters that are unknown to the naruto fans and are of my own creation.
Hatsugoori Ryujin-Main character, the son of the leader of the aisu clan, first name means the first ice of winter and last name means dragon god.
Garyuu Ryugin-Father and leader of the aisu clan, name means dragon's fang.
I know this is a lengthy entry, but in my experience it is a sin to interrupt the flow of creative thought, so here it goes.
A Destiny Etched in Ice-Chapter One: The First Ice of Winter
It is said that a person's past, their foundation, shapes the person who they are going to become. But…What is a past? Is it something physical that can be taken from you by force, destroyed, thrown into the abyss of darkness? Or is it carved in your memories, too sacred to even be touched by another entity? If so, then I remember…
The sun rises on a small village, about 20 miles due west of the snow country. The hidden villiage of the ice is what this place has come to be called. A place where a small clan of warriors have built a home for their families. They do not take missions or affiliate themselves with the polotics and woes of the ninja nations, but instead provide and care only for themselves. It is believed that they are descendants from the snow country, elite ninja who have come do despise the regime of their nation and disagree with it's motives and so they left their homes with their families and set their new villiage away from their former home. For a time they were hunted as missing nin, and after many bloody battles, they convinced the hidden snow that it is pointless to shed more blood and that they merely seek to live peacefully. So, it was like this that the aisu village was forged. The people of this villiage dedicate their lives to simply living as one family and perfecting whatever task they choose to attempt. The ninja of this village spend every moment immersed in training, developing the secret ice techniques known only to members of this clan. The skill of the ninjas in this villiage is that they have the unique ability to use two types of chakra, wind and water, to create ice. It is with these techniques that the ninja have been able to survive this long without alliances with other nations, or protection from their former villiage. But little did they know that the snow country, envious of their techniques and pining for this knowledge, has long been awaiting for a chance to strike.
The peaceful quiet of the morning is broken with the awakening villiage. In a secluded area of the villiage, a small training ground is occupied by two figures. The first person is tall, with white hair. He wears loose ninja robes, with dark blue shin gaurds, forearm guards, and a sash on the right bicept with a symbol meaning ice. On his thigh is strapped a collapsible staff. With him is a young boy, the son of this man. He wears the same attire as his father. They are sitting side by side in meditation, but this more than simple meditation, it is chakra manipulation training.
"Dad" !
"Yes, son".
"When can I learn an ice technique?"
"I have told you many times, once you have reached a sufficient level in your chakra manipulation training, now sit and continue meditating. What have I told you before?"
"That training does not mean throwing shurikens and blasting energy, but it can be the result of carefully meditating while molding chakra"
"That's right Hatsugoori, if you continuoslly mold chakra for an entire day at a steady rate, you will be far more advanced in executing techniques when the time comes, now, since you have already mastered wind manipulation, and are nearly finished
with the desired level for water manipulation, I suppose there is no harm in teaching you a simple ice shard technique. "
"Alright!, I'm ready, I'm ready…Show me"
smiles "ok, this one is very simple and requries repeating two hand seals two times, bird and boar, which is why the hyouhen jutsu (ice shard) is a very simple and effective technique and a reason why we of the aisu clan rarely need to use shuriken or senbon spikes, ok, now to the technique-watch carefully.
Bird boar, Bird boar - "hyohen no-jusu"-with a motion swifter than the eye can see the father extends his right hand as a pale blue orb shines in his palm, and a thousand ice shards shoot out with precise control shreading a nearby tree and reduced it to little more than toothpicks.
"Wow, but it should be no problem for me!"
Bird boar, Bird boar -"hyohen no-jutsu"- Hatsugoori raises his palm as his father did, a faint glow in his palm, seven shards shoot out and the glow faints as the jutsu ends.
"What happened?" questions hatsugoori with dissapointment in his face.
Garyuu sighs, "son, as with the nature manipulation, this takes practice, keep at it and you will be as profitient as me, you are merely eight, with age comes skill, wisdom and understanding."
"Yes father"
Hatsoogori goes to bed feeling dissapointed, but deep inside, is a thirst to master ice. The following weeks roll by and with the completion of water manipulation, Hatsoogori has learned two more techniques.
Bird boar, Bird boar - "hyohen no-jusu" Hatsoogori raises his palm and from the glowing orb, 40 ice shards shoot out, which his father easily dodges.
Monkey, Serpent, Bird, Ram "Jinto-nojutsu (numbing cold)", weblike strings of ice energy shoot out from the ram seal, striking Garyuu in the arm, it quickly becomes numb and moves much slower than before.
"Excellent son, this jutsu is excellent for slowing the muscle reaction in your opponents body, now lets try the other technique."
Dragon, tiger, ox, hare, dog "Aisu Tenohira no jutsu (ice palm)", Hatsoogori's palms obtain an ominous blue glow of ice chakra, he lunges forward striking the trees. Where he strikes, the spot is frozen and shattered.
The day's training complete, Garyuu sits by his sun and reflects on the peacefulness of the night, only daring to break the silence when his thoughts are in sync with his soul.
"Hatsugoori,… I have a bad feeling about the fragile peace that we experience in this villiage. If feels as though the crisp mountain air has become heavy with malice. I fear for the lives of the clan. Its like the calm before a storm, I worry greatly and hope with all my streangth that I am mistaken." Garyuu reaches within his robes and retrieves two scrolls bound together. "In these scrolls are the archived techniques of the hidden ice clan. If something were to happen to me or this villiage, I want you to run, not out of fear, but as a duty to the aisu clan to keep the techniques and secrets of this villiage secret from greedy hands that would defile all that we have accomplished. As the son of the leader of this clan, I give you these scrolls so that you not only protect the secrets, but so that you know them too, train hard and master them."
Hatsugoori silently knods and recieves the scroll from his father. His grip tightens around the scrolls.
"As the successor of this clan, I will work every day to become master of every word and technique written by the hands of my ancestors. I will protect the secrets and I will master them!"
A single tear rolls down the left cheek of garyuu, "I expected nothing less from my son, your mother would be proud of you."
As father and son both sit in silence, a single pebble of hail falls from the grey sky, marking the start of the first ice storm of winter.
