The Snow Queen
A/N: Yay, I can finally post this on Fanfiction. This story is based on a book/story called "The Snow Queen" that I decided to read while waiting for the computer. It is not the exact story originally written, but it still has the same concept. I'll basically be typing out word for word the story from the original book with a few changes so that it still fits the characteristics of Sasuke and Naruto. This is AU, so don't expect any ninjas. Explanations for character roles will be explained in the end.
Pairings: SasuNaru

Chapter 1: Prologue
Sit down, children, and listen to this story. Let's see, where do I begin? Ah, yes! With the evil magician and his magic mirror of course…for that's how the entire story started…
There was once a wicked magician named Pain, who had the most dreadful mirror. When anything good, beautiful and pure was reflected into this mirror, it faded into nothing. The faces of the beautiful became wrinkled and distorted. The magician thought it was a very amusing trick, and his followers carried the mirror everywhere Pain decided to go, causing many to be distorted.
Then, they decided to take it up to Heaven, so it might do no more harm. Higher and higher they flew, until the mirror began to shake so fiercely that it fell from their hands back to the Earth, where it shattered into millions, billions, and maybe even trillions of pieces. However, that just caused even greater unhappiness than before. Some pieces were so miniscule that it flew into the eyes of people, so that the whole human race seemed horrible to them, or, they became uninterested in anything but evil and corrupt things. Some got pieces of the mirror in their hearts, a very unfortunate thing, yes? For their hearts became cold and hard, exactly like a lump of ice.
Some of the dust of the broken glass is still flying about, even today.
This, is the story of two boys; One a carefree blonde, another a mysterious raven.
This is the story of how the shattered pieces of the mirror changed their lives.
This is their story.
Listen.

A/N: The introduction is done! The magician in my book doesn't have a name, but I decided to put Pein/Pain in. The explanation of the character roles (excluding Naruto and Sasuke) is below:
Konan/Snow Queen
I don't really have an explanation for this one, but I thought it fit. I don't know much about her personality, but she was the only female antagonist that I thought fit the role. Besides, with Pein/Pain being the evil magician, I can see Konan being a follower of him, making her perfect for the role.
Uruchi Uchiha/ Grandmother
I don't have a reason. I needed a kind grandmother/old lady who would bother to tell stories. That means no Chiyo or Tsunade. Uruchi was the only old lady I could find on Naruto wikia. It's also a bonus that she's related to Sasuke.
Rin/Enchantress
I know that in the original story, the Enchantress is supposed to be an old lady. But I couldn't find old ladies who are kind (with the exception of Uruchi), and it had to be a medical nin, seeing as how, in my twisted mind, I associate immortality with medical ninjutsu. I settled on Rin, because she was kind, and also because Naruto might remind her about Obito. Don't worry, she isn't an old lady in this.
Pein/Pain/Evil Magician
Pain/Pein is the evil magician because I think that, since Pein/Pain wanted peace, maybe he thinks that the mirror might help achieve peace. Also, as his name is Pain/Pein, which is probably what the victims of the mirror felt, I thought it was very suitable. Since I made Konan/Snow Queen a follower of Pain/Pein, it's also quite fitting that the reason why Konan/Snow Queen took Sasuke away is because he was special. (People who read/know the story should know what I'm talking about.)
Katsuyu/Reindeer
I needed a kind animal to guide Naruto in the later chapters. I don't think Orochimaru's snakes or Jiraiya's frogs would work very well.I also didn't want to use nin-dogs.
A/N: And I'm the narrator because I wanted to be the narrator. Did you realise the explanations are longer than the prologue itself? I'll try to update soon, earliest is by tommorow, and that's because I'm really interested in The Snow Queen.
