The Crystal's Shinobi :
Hello everyone, it hab been a long time since i had write a new idea, so here is one of the two new crossover imagined with Silverfenics and that was my first crossover writed in english, so i hope that you will be lenient with my low level in english, i also hope that you will enjoy this idea, so let's begin.
Prologue : The Crystal's Warrior :
Land of Fire, in a clearing :
Calm, this word was the best appoint to represent this small clearing shine by the moon, the animals was in peace, some there grazing of the grass, other one enjoying the soft light of the moon or still some animals taking advantage of it to charm one potential partners. Only, in spite of this calm area and the peaceful side of the clearing, the animals could feel an instinctive fear growing in them, they knew that something will arrive, something big and which was going to change the fate of his world, only the animals did not understand totally the reason of this fear and continued their activities in the clearing.
So, after a long moment, animals saw a portal opened in the middle of the clearing, by instinct, creatures went to hide in bushes to observe this strange phenomenon, then, at the end of what seemed to be several long minutes, a shape went out of the portal which disappeared a short time later, animals looked at the shape and saw a man, he was on the ground and seemed just lost, after a few seconds, the man got up and began to sweep the present dust on his clothes, the human being looked then at the moon, contemplating the celestial object and his soft light, then the man taken a big inspiration before saying « The moon is magnificent this night. »
"Yes partner, the moon is magnificent." Said a monstruous voice in his mind
While any human being would become crazy by hearing this voice, the man was accustom to it, he contented them to looking at the animals wich always hiden in bushes, observing him during all this time, however the being could see the fear in their eyes and he understood why, every alive being was afraid of what hides in his soul to such a point that the nature itself fears them, but the man was accustomed to see this fear at the human beings and the animals, that it always be so and it will not change, then, the voice took the man out of his thought by asking « Ichigo... what shall we do now ? » the being shook the head and awnsered « I dont know, for the moment we should find a place to spend the night, then we will look for a place where to live. »
"I see..." Say simply the voice
But suddenly, a roaring was listened, the roar of a powerfull and angry creature, it drew the attention of Ichigo which asked absently « What is it ? » the voice answered « It's look like there is a fight not far from here, we should go to see what happened. » the man asked « Are you sure ? » and the voice answered « Yes, i think that to see this fight or this creature could teach us more about this place, and i feels three presence with this creature. » Ichigo sighed in whispering « I see... » before leaving in the direction of the roaring with a speed that only few beings could equal, only after a few minutes of running, the man stopped abruptly before saying while looking around him « There is a barrier here. »
"We can create a breach with our power." Suggested the voice
The being thought about this possibility and asked « Are you sure it can work ? » the just sighed and said « Ichigo... our power is far superior to the person who sets up that barrier, so yes, Im sure it will work. » Ichigo nodded his head and then began to concentrate the power in his hands, a blue aura appeared in the hands of the being who placed them on the barrier, and then, crystals began to cover the barrier, the crystal covered enough surface to allow Ichigo to pass, and then, after a few seconds, a part of the crystal broke, creating a breach in the barrier, the being took advantage of that to enter the barrier and watched the breach close quickly, and then Ichigo turned and went to the source of the fight to observe and perhaps learn about some things about this place.
At the same time, a little further :
For Minato Namikaze, fourth Hokage of Konoha, this night which should have been special have been transformed into a real nightmare, while his wife, Kushina had just given birth to their son, Naruto Uzumaki, a masked man succeeded in killing the ANBU before threatening the life of his son and kidnapping his wife, the masked man freed the Nine Tailed Beast, Kyuubi, and released him into the village so that he can destroys it, after that Minato faced the masked man and make him run away, the Hokage summon then Gamabunta to immobilize Kyuubi, then Minato transported Kyuubi in a place away from the village to seal him, only Kushina was against the fact that their son becomes a Jinchûriki, only it was too late, Minato have already summoned the shinigami and already sealed half of the chakra inside him.
However, the Hokage was worried of seeing his wife being froze in shock, as if something unusual had just occurred, Minato asked then « What the matter Kushina ? » Kushina answered « Something have just crossed my barrier. » the Hokage was shocked and said « But how ? » the woman looked her husband and says simply « I dont know, I have felt a breach appearing in the barrier and something entered inside, however i dont know what is this thing. » Minato was worried about it, that could be Madara who come back to attack them, only none of the two could not fight and they will be killed, or then, it would be a new threat , it could get the things worse and even seal the fate of Konoha.
Suddenly, the duet see the bushes stir, and after a few seconds, a being went out of it, that drew the attention of both and the attention of Kyuubi, the Hokage observed the man, a rather big man with orange hair and brown eyes, who wearing a black kimono with numerous blue and white pattern representing a mountain, somes coulds and very strange creature blue, the man also wears a white belt and a katana which the tsuba seems represent a cross pattern and with a black handle with red crystals which is attached to it, Minato noticed that the man observed Kyuubi and that Kyuubi had succeeded in moving to look at the man.
"Interesting, Amaterasu had mentioned that somes creatures called Bijû existed in this place, but i did not imaginated that i will met one of those so fast." Says absently the man
Kyuubi contented with growling, however the Hokage and his wife noticed that the man stayed calm and was not frightened by the creature who face him while any human beings would be petrify by fear but he stayed perfectly calm, after a few seconds of silence, Kushina asked « Who is it ? » and Minato answered « I dont know, however this being seems rather powerful or at least enough confiding to be held in front of Kyuubi without the feelings of fear,he seems just calm, like Kyuubi was not a threat for him. » that drew the attention of the being who loocked in their way, only, before he cannot speak, the Bijû took advantage of the distraction of the man and the weakened power's of Kushina to attack the being with it's paw.
While Minato and Kushina thought that the man was dead, they see a shade through the dust provoked by the attack, after a few seconds, when the dust dissipated, the duet see that the being have avoid the attack, the man looked simply the creature and asked « Do you want to fight ? » the Bijû contented again to grumbling and the being sighed, he say then « Very well. » and raise his hand towards the sky and in an instant, crystal pillars appeared around the barrier, creating an arena, the man draw his katana with a black blade and says simply « Come, and shows me your power, Bijû. » the creature tried to crush the being with a violent blow but the man avoid the attack before cutting the paw of Kyuubi.
"I see..." then Bijûs are not just constitute of energy. Says the being by seeing some blood flowing at the level of the cut
Minato and Kushina looked at this exchange with shock, this stranger succeed not only in avoiding the attacks of Kyuubi but in more he succeed to attack the Bijû, the Hokage say then « Impressive. » whereas his wife shook the head, on his side, Ichigo looked simply at the creature in front of him, analyzing its weak points and anticipating its next attack, then, after a few seconds, one of the tails of Kyuubi tried to crush the being, however the being avoided the attack and attacked the creature, leaving a new cut on the tail of the Bijû which grumbled and by attacking again the man.
"DIES !" Roared Kyuubi by attacking again and again the being
However Ichigo avoided every attack, hurting more and more the creature by counter-attacking, only the being also noticed that the Bijû regenerated during the fight, so, after a last exchange of knocks, Ichigo looked at the creature and asked « Why do you fight ? And why you seem to hate the humans ? » Kyuubi grumbled to this question and answered « You are only a young human impertinent, you are only a weak insects, I despise you, you and your species, when I would have killed you, I will kill these two other humans and I would destroy this country to avenge me for my captivity. » While this put on the alert Minato and Kushina.
Only the Hokage noticed somes strange blue clouds gathered over them and which seemed to form a storm, by looking at the being who fought Kyuubi, Minato seen that he was frozen, as if he thought of something, only the Hokage also felt a power and an immense rage emanating from the man, on his side, Ichigo was diving into its memories, it was not any more a forest which was around him but ruins, corpses and the smell of the death, in front of him was not any more a huge fox but a familiar face, a face which was consumed by the rage, a face which repeated to him « You was only a weak insect, I will kill you and I will destroy this country. », this sentence boiled the anger of Ichigo, the anger which a few people could really understand, an anger forgotten by the time himself.
"WATCH OUT !" Screamed Minato by looking at Kyuubi tried to crush the man with his paw
While Hokage expected to see the being avoiding the attack, he seen the man just move a hand to catch the leg of Bijû, on the impact, he stopped the paw easely with his hands, the ground broke under its feet and the man found himself in a small crater created by the attack, after a few seconds, the being released its grip on the paw of Kyuubi which took advantage of it to move back slightly, and whereas the man always seemed lost in his thoughts, Bijû attacked again the being with its claw, succeeding in impaling him, only, while Minato and Kushina observed it with horror, cracks began to appear on the man's body, then, after a few seconds, the body of the being exploded in crystal fragment which fell on the ground.
"What the hell is happened ?" Asked Kushina by seeing a piece of crystal fallen in front of her
The Hokage asked itself the same question, was it a shinobi's technique ? Or an unknown power ? Minato observed then Kyuubi looking in their direction but before he cannot react, he seen that the man was on the head of the Bijû, Ichigo says then while looking at Kyuubi « So, it's this kind of creature you are. » the Bijû wanted to react but found itself immobilized, the creature noticed that somes crystals had impaling his paw, immobilizing him, the man looked in the direction of the village which Kyuubi had attacked and said « You are a creature consumed by the hatred, living only for the chaos, the destruction and the death, thinking to be over everything and to be invincible. » , then Ichigo looked at Bijû and says « From now I would not have any more pity for you. » , Kyuubi felt then an immense fear invading him and tried to break the crystal with its strength, but all Bijû's efforts was useless.
"now disappears, Bijû." Says Ichigo by raising his hand towards the sky
On they side, Minato and Kushina noticed that the crystal pieces created a barrier around them and around their child, then, in an instant, an immense blue light pillar beat down on Kyuubi, the impact blinded both whereas the ground began trembling and that a powerful blow try to swept them, but even with that they could hear the pain's roaring of Kyuubi, and after a few seconds, the attack dissipated, letting a cloud of dust cover a big part of the arena, and while Minato and Kushina observed the dust dissipated quickly, they sees the Bijû fallen on the ground, its body covered with burns and with wounds, Hokage also see that the man was now next to them, Minato drew the attention of the man and Kushina by hawking and says « Thank you to have overcome Kyuubi. »
"it was nothing." Answered Ichigo by looking at the Bijû
Minato shook his head and looked his wife before saying « it's time to seal Kyuubi in Naruto. » Kushina dont like that but shook the head by knowing that it was the only solution, only, on his side, the Bijû heard that and looked at the baby and thought « They are going to seal me in this child, no, I am going to kill him before they cannot make it and then I would kill them all. » Kyuubi noticed then that the crystals which retained him had been destroyed during the attack, so, by concentrating its last strengths in one of his paw, the Bijû attacked the child with its claw, Minato and Kushina noticed it and positioned themself in front of their child to protect him, only, while both expected to be impaled by the claw, nothing came, after a few seconds Kushina looked behind her and was shocked.
The Man who saved them by overcoming Kyuubi was a little farther, his katana unsheathed in a hand and the claw of the Bijû in the other one, this man whom they dont know and who have defeated Kyuubi had just cut its claw to saved then, Minato also noticed it and sealed the Bijû, so the being see Kyuubi to be absorbed by the seal which was on the child and see the claw to dissapear, then the Hokage drew the attention of the man by asking « What is your name ? » the being hesitated to answer but the voice in its spirit suggested then « I think that you can answer him, he is not bad and he seems reliable. » The man answered then « My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. »
"There's one thing that I'd like to ask you, Ichigo-san." Says Minato
Ichigo looked at the man and answered « What do you want to ask me. » the Hokage had a small smile and said while pointing his wife and his child « my name is Minato Namikaze, here is my wife, Kushina Uzumaki and my son, Naruto Uzumaki, i have only a little time left, then I would like to ask you to protect then. » It surprise Ichigo and Kushina, then, after a few seconds, the man said simply « you dont know me well, I can be a criminal, a dangerous bloodthirsty man or even an hostile being who just want to destroy this world or to hurt people around him. » Minato answered then « I knows, but by looking at you, I see well that you are a good person Ichigo-san, you protected us by facing and defeating Kyuubi, you have created a shield so that we are protected from the attack against Kyuubi and finally you have cuting the claw of Kyuubi to protect us, you can say what you want about you but I know that you are a good person. »
"It's true, but why I would agree to protect your wife and your son ?" Asked Ichigo
The Hokage answered « I dont really know why, but when I see you, I have the impression to see a person who search a place to live and a purpose to follow, I am not a perfect being but I thought that by proposing you it I could give you these two things. » Ichigo was surprised by its answer, Minato had seen and understood that he looked for a home and for something to protect, Ichigo asked then to the voice in its spirit « What do you think about it ? » the voice answered simply « I think that we should accept his request, he is honest and he understood the reason of our presence here. » The man shook the head and tells then to the Hokage « Very well, I accept your offer, I, Ichigo Kurosaki, will protect your wife and your son. »
"thank yo..." Wanted to say Minato, but before finishing his sentence, the man collapsed
Kushina rushed then to her husband and shook him by repeating his name, only for Ichigo, it was clear that Minato was dead, after a few minutes, Kushina realized it and began crying by screaming the name of her deceased husband, on his side, Ichigo put a hand on the shoulder of Kushina and says by trying to comfort her « I am sorry for your husband » but the woman ignored it and continued to cry, Ichigo understood then that she needed to be alone to cry, the man looked then at the child and at the seal being on this belly, Ichigo thought then « If the people of this village learns that this child is the host of the Bijû, he will suffer from that. » And the voice suggested « We can change it. » Ichigo asked « Are you sure ? » And the voice answered « Yes, by using the power of the crystal, we can create a kind of illusions on the seal, with that nobody can see it. »
"If you think it can work, I'll let you make it." Says Ichigo watching his arm be surrounded by a blue aura
After a few moments, Ichigo saw his arm land on the belly of the child and saw the seal covered with a thin layer of crystal, then the voice said, « With that, no one should be able to see the seal. » it intrigued Ichigo who ask « But how ? » the voice simply said, « By using this crystal and a little amount of energy, I created an illusion that makes it look like the seal is a scar, so no one can understand that this child is the host of the Bijû. » Ichigo nodded his head and decided to dissipate the barrier with a snap, only, just after that the crystal barrier dissipated, he saw a group of warriors coming in his direction, some of the fighters surrounded him while the others went to Kushina and Minato.
"Great, now they think that I'm an enemy, well, I guess that almost everything is against me tonight."
And that concludes the prologue of this new idea, I suppose you have many questions, especially about this strange voice and about the power of Ichigo but don't worry, there will be more explanation in the first chapter of this idea.
Please be aware that this idea will not be updated on a regular basis, it is possible that some it will have some time between two updates and I am sorry, but for the moment I would focus more on my two main ideas: « Fairy of the Heavens and Fairy of the Soul » and « Night Souls », in the meantime, I say bye and at the next time.
