Prologue
They have been fighting the masked man without doing him any damage, that is until a slash appear in his mask when Naruto try to hit him with his rasengan, but Kakashi wasn´t a jounin and a genius for nothing, he knew that the rasengan wasn't the responsible for that scratch in the mask, it was more likely to be done by a kunai, a kunai like the one he previously absorb with his kamui, and then it hit him, the secret of the masked man ability to become intangible.
He quickly elaborate a plan to prove his theory and tell it to the others, who agree and proceed to attack as Kakashi told them, they will attack the masked man again, Naruto and Gai will faint and attack the masked man, but in the last moment Kakashi will absorb Naruto's rasengan with his kamui while he became intangible to avoid their attack, and if his theory was right the rasengan that he will absorb will end hitting him.
And it did, they had hit his shoulder with the rasengan and injure him, for the first time in the whole fight they were able to hit the masked man, and so they start they counter attack, although Kakashi had many questions, were did he get that eye, how did he knew how to use the sharingan and who was he, but above all else was dreading the possibility that the masked man was really Obito Uchiha, his old teammate and friend.
So when Naruto's rasengan shatter the mask and it fall down into pieces it reveal the face that Kakashi didn´t wanted to see here, the face of his teammate, the one who save him in the third shinobi war and gave him his sharingan, Obito Uchiha, and even though he was having a hard time believing his old teammate was alive, he was also mortify that he was responsible of the fourth shinobi war and the death of thousands of people, snapping of this thoughts he came to the conclusion that as his old teammate it was his responsibility to stop him, that´s why he went directly to fight him and completely ignore Madara, leaving Naruto Gai and Bee to fight Madara while he face Obito.
Obito throw him various giant shurikens to him, Kakashi create an earth wall to protect himself, only to be surprise by Obito when he pass through his wall and attack him a shuriken, unfortunately for him he couldn´t react in time and end up getting stab in the leg, which leave him wide open for Obito to use his Kamui and being sucked into his pocket dimension. But Obito didn´t stop there, he knew that Kakashi will be able to return with his sharingan, so he combine the power of his sharingan with the rinengan and seal him in the pocket dimension that Kamui created, trapping Kakashi in but also sacrificing his ability to become intangible, meaning that he will have to evade the attacks the old fashion way but he was willing to do that if it will prevent Kakashi from returning until he want it.
Unfortunately Kakashi didn´t even consider the possibility that Obito could do something as drastic as this, so once he take out the shuriken from his leg and bandage it he activate his sharingan to get out, but when he see that nothing to happen he start to think the worse, but he wasn't going to give up, so after analyzing the situation he realize that Obito had not only send him to his pocket dimension but also seal him in it, but he wasn´t going to give up and leave Naruto and everyone alone while he was trap in here, so he focus all of his remaining chakra into his sharingan and concentrate in activating his kamui, at first nothing happen, so he focus harder until he start to feel that his kamui was creating the vortex that would take him back to the battlefield, or so he thought, he didn't notice it at first but there was something wrong with the kamui, but before he could think about it, or even stop the technique he was forcefully pull into the vortex that he had created.
The vortex rematerialize him several meters over a dense forest, he fall hard, hitting the branch of the trees until he finally hit the floor, he slowly push himself up ignoring the pain and exhaustion he felt he notice that this place didn't have any trace of fighting so he was in a place far away from the battle field, and a place that he didn't know, the plants and trees, hell even the rocks look different from any of the countries that he had been before, so he was in a unknown place, who knows how far away from Naruto and Gai and everyone and he didn't have any idea how to go back to them.
But that was not going to stop him from returning to the fight, so he start running into a straight line through the forest while trying to look for anything that would show him where he was and in what direction to go, he start to fell his chakra getting low, but he push himself harder only to collapse a moment latter.
After several hours Kakashi awoke when heavy rain hit him in the face, he slowly get up using a tree to help himrest, he try to remember where he was and what had happen, then remember all that had happen, fighting in the four shinobi war, that Naruto had also join the fight and that together they had fight the masked man… that turn out to be Obito, and that he use his kamui to send him to that strange dimension, and when he try to return to the battle field and help Naruto he couldn't return, it took all his chakra to open a portal again.
This leave him with several questions, what had Obito done to the kamui dimension? Why it took almost all his chakra to return? Why did he not return with Naruto and the others? And where was he? The more he think about it he could only come to one conclusion, Obito had done something else when he use his kamui on him, this has ended with him using almost all of his remaining chakra and force his way out, only to find himself in some unknown place.
He was really worried, he figure that several hours had pass since he exit Obito's dimension, which mean that the fight had most likely ended, and the fact that he was awake and not trap in some illusion make him think that the shinobi alliance won, or he could had escape being trap in it because he was unconscious, but he doubt that Madara's genjutsu had such critical fail, or this could be the illusion that Obito want to trap everyone in, but then why let him keep his memories of the war and his plan? Unless Obito wanted to trap him in an illusion all alone and knowing that he had failed, that was quite possible.
No, he didn't need to think that way wasn't useful thinking, he need to stay positive and look for his student, friends and comrades, if they had really won they would need his help either helping the injure or reconstructing, or haunting down the remains of the Akatsuki. If they had lost the war he would have to find a way to break everyone free from the genjutsu or break free from the illusion he was in, either way he had to find where he was and what had happen.
He start to run since the trees were not big enough for him to tree hop, and after a couple of minutes he felt something in the distance some kind of energy that was not chakra but it resemble it somehow, Kakashi was not a sensory ninja, but the energy he felt was not only powerful, but was also moving and it even fell dark and threatening. He decide to investigate it but also remain hidden in case it was an enemy.
While he was getting closer he come across an abandoned camp, or what he thought was an abandoned camp, what he found instead was worse, it was a massacre, there were several bodies, all of them of teenagers that were slash into pieces, it was even more horrible that the Uchiha massacre.
What could have done this? And to a bunch of kids! What is going on in here? Kakashi asked to himself. He push all this to the back of his head and continue to follow the source of energy so he could get some answers.
He ran faster until he start to hear some very familiar noises, a battle was taking place up ahead. He increase his pace to get there faster but still try to stay hidden, until he got close enough to see how a bunch of 14 or 15 year old were trying to battle a strange looking creature, and by the look of it barely holding the creature, so he hide in a three that was place at the right side of the creature, giving him an view of it its outline from the side and a little bit of its back.
He wasn't sure what that thing was, he could see it was massive, around 20 meters tall, it had no legs, only a single cone like structure with what appear to be to curve blades coming from its sides, Kakashi wander how could it not only stand and maintain its balance, but also move, the rest of its body was made of strange forms that seem to be made of stone, only harder since none of the girls that attack it do any real damage to it, spreading from the part that could be consider a shoulder? It had two long flexible blades that move more like tentacles. Finally the part of the head appear to have some resemblance to a face, at least the chin mouth and nose that were visible, the rest seem to be cover by some sort of huge helmet.
Kakashi had completely freeze in his place, and while part of that was because the initial shook, he notice that it was also something else, that creature was emitting the same energy that he had been following and it surround this whole area, it even create some kind of dome made of geometrical figures that make Kakashi fell unease and a bit froze,
As the fight continue Kakashi's mind was going rampant with thoughts of what was happening, it was obvious that these teenagers have some kind of military training and were some kind of platoon, despite the uniforms look like something rich kids in private schools would wear. Also they had some way to prevent the field around that thing to touch them and affect them, but how were they doing it? He could barely feel they have any chakra in them, in fact the energy that he felt was like the one the creature have.
But more importantly what was this creature, what was this energy he feel from it, and why was he attacking those kids? He knew he had to help them to prevent more of them been injure or kill, but he also need to analyze that thing more or he would only get himself freeze the moment he enter the fight and kill.
He hated to fell so helpless, unable to move, even breathing was a big effort at this point, the only times he had felt like this was when he encounter Orochimaru during the chunin exams and when Itachi trap him in his Tsukuyomi and torture for three days , and with that final thought Kakashi had an idea, since he wasn't affected immediately after entering this field he deduce that the chakra he had pump through his body to move faster and quietly made the effects only noticeable when he get this close, so maybe he could use the same method one use to break a genjutsu to break whatever this field was.
So he concentrate his chakra inside him and when he had enough to break a B rank genjutsu he release it not only allowing him to move but also shattering the field around him, getting the attention of some of the teenagers that were closer to him and the creature that seem to be surprise be his presence.
As the creature was turning to face Kakashi the girl leading the teenagers saw this as her opportunity and attack the creature, which only seem to piss it off because it immediately retaliate, the girl was able to avoid the attacks but that was behind her was not so lucky, and in one single swift of its blades the creature had slash him.
This cause the girl that was leading the attack to fall back and contemplate the body of the dead kid in tears, this cause the rest of the teenagers to panic and start to break formation, Kakashi knew that in that state they would get slaughter, so decide to jump into the fight no matter what, he jump in front of a girl that was going to be beheaded while drawing a pair of kunais to block the attack, he was able to block the blade thanks to him reinforcing the kunais and his muscles with chakra and avoid the girl getting kill, unfortunately a couple of more teenagers were kill by the creature before he reach them.
"Everyone get away now! Go somewhere safe!" shouted Kakashi while he put more strength in his arms and throw away the enemy blade with difficulty.
None of the teenagers move when Kakashi shout at them, so he had to stop a couple more of attacks aim at the teenagers before they react and start to run away, when the leader saw this she start to shout to them, "don't run away! Don't break ranks! We have to stop it here!" and with that she get back into a fighting stance.
The rest of the teenagers react to her voice and retake their positions, although they seem to be scare to death. Kakashi knew that if they were so scare they would commit mistakes that could cost them their lives, but that they would not disobey the orders of their leader, so he was would need to convince her first.
"You, tell everyone to go to a safe place, I will be handling this thing while you escape."
The girl didn't look at him but answer at him with an indignant tone, "I don't know who are you or how are you able to fight a Nova, but you are crazy if you think that I will just run away because a battle turns out to be more difficult than I expect, also I will not run away and condemn innocents to be kill by the Nova!"
Kakashi just smile under his mask, he was already liking this girl, she act a lot like Naruto, never giving up and always thinking of other. "I like the way you think girl, okay tell everyone to make a perimeter around the creature but don't engage it, I will be the one that will fight it and you will be the one that will tell me how to kill it."
This kind of surprise the girl and was almost cut in half had Kakashi didn't move her from where she was standing, she immediately recompose herself and shout to Kakashi "WHAT!? You can be serious! You want to fight the Nova alone!? But you are not even a soldier or a Pandora! You don't have any chance to kill it!?"
Kakashi was already losing his patience, in the time he had try to convince this girl to retreat other teens had been injure gravely, at this moment others girls arrive and help the rest of the teens, and one with red hair get to where they were and completely ignore him.
"Marine what are you doing? You can defeat an enemy like this! You need to retreat!" said the new girl.
"NO Ingrid! If we don't stop the Nova here it will get to the civilian areas ahead, and I can't let that happen!" The now name Marine answer with conviction in her voice but one could hear that she was getting tired.
"But you have lost several students already! And your formation is full of holes and about to collapse! This will only end with you and everyone else DEAD!"
As they were discussing Kakashi was doing his best to keep the Nova occupied, but despite his best efforts he was unable to block all of the Nova's attacks, and it was one of those attacks that was aim at Ingrid, Kakashi saw this but couldn't get in time, and only Marine saw the attack coming, so reacting as any good friend would, she push Ingrid out of the way, receiving part of the attack instead, cutting her left arm above her elbow and also receiving a deep cut in her ribs.
Ingrid could only see how her best friend being severely injure, she fall to her knees and hold her in her arms while she start crying while Marine shout in pain for the loss of her arm. "Marine NOOO! Why did you do that!? You are our squad leader! We need you to lead us so we can come out of this alive! Your life is more important than mine!"
Kakashi step between the Nova and the girls and keep fighting it, keeping it away from them and the other teens, who were now more scared and shocked and were retreating slowly from the battle between the Nova and him.
While Kakashi was fighting Marine start cough blood because a collapse lung, despite this she endure the pain that she was felling and stand up ready to continue fighting, she then answer to Maria, "You are wrong Ingrid, as a leader is my responsibility to make sure all of you survive, even if that means that I must sacrifice myself to do it, besides I could not let you, my best friend, a Pandora that has more potential than me, die if I could stop it."
Ingrid was move by her friends answer, her respect for her grew, but also the conviction to protect her friend, "no Marine, don't say that, don't just go and throw your life like it´s not worth it, I will be the one who protect the students in your place so you don't have to die!"
Meanwhile Kakashi start to fight the Nova more fiercely, now that the none of the teenagers were actively participating in the battle he didn't have to worry for their security, he was also feeling a little bit enrage and wanted to kill the Nova with extreme prejudice for what it had done to these kids. So he throw a kunai cover in lightning chakra to the Nova's face, the kunai went thought it but these didn't kill it, it didn't even slow him, so he was force to change tactics, taking some explosive tags and run to the Nova, the Nova see him and attack him with its blades, but Kakashi skillfully dodge all of its attacks until he was in front of it, he then place the tags in its chest and jump away before detonate them.
He landed in front of Marine and Ingrid interrupting their conversation, he did a hand sing to detonate the tags, this throw away the Nova several meters away and crack and destroy several parts of its chest, revealing something that seem like a blue sphere inside it, but it was still standing and despite the damage it has suffer it only seem a bit disorientated.
Everybody saw mesmerize how Kakashi was able to fight the Nova all alone, but Kakashi was getting annoyed that nothing that he tried work on the Nova, "how is it possible for that thing to still be standing! I pierce its head and blow it! What is that thing! Is it even alive?" ask an alarm Kakashi.
"Of course it is still fighting, you need to destroy its core to kill a Nova! How are you capable of fighting back an S-type Nova and not know things like that!? WHO ARE YOU!?" shout Ingrid at him.
"Because it's my first time fighting something like this!" Shout Kakashi back.
Before they could continue to biker one another Marine interrupt them. "Ingrid that is not important right now! And you, if you have the power to kill the Nova do it before it kill or injure anyone else."
"You have spoken like a true leader, so to kill it I have to destroy its core, right? That blue thing in its chest?"
The girls only nod, and Kakashi uncover his sharingan and proceed to do the hand sings of his original jutsu. The teens only could see in aw how his hand suddenly was cover in lightening then he run toward the Nova at incredible speeds that none of them could follow and could only saw a blur of him.
The Nova couldn't follow Kakashi's movements neither and it didn't react, Kakashi pierce its chest, he take advantage of one of the holes that the explosive tags had created and hit the core directly, Kakashi's arm penetrate the Nova's core almost to his elbow, he felt that the Nova's energy was becoming unstable and quickly jump back, just in time to avoid the explosion that follow.
When the explosion end everyone had their mouths wide open, nobody move from his place and even the injure ones like Marine where completely silent and have forget about their pain. Finally it was Ingrid who speak, "what was that thing that you did to kill the Nova and how where you able to do it?"
Kakashi who had his back facing the teens discreetly cover his sharingan with his headband before turning around and answer her "as much as I would love to tell you that don't you think it is best that we attend the wounded first? Especially your friend there, she seems to be in need of immediate need of medical treatment."
"Don't worry about me, help the others first." Marine said a bit weak.
Ingrid was about to scold her friend for saying that but Kakashi speak first, "Okay everyone who wasn't injure in the fight go and check on the injured ones and provide any kind of assistance you can, if you can move them bring them here."
No one question Kakashi's orders and proceed to do as told, he then go to check on Marine, but she refuse it before he could start, "No, check on the others first, they are in more need than me." She said.
Kakashi ignore her words and laid her on the ground he get a medical kit from his vest and proceed to bandage her while he scold her. "I understand that you are worried about the health of your comrades, but you should also valor your own life, you have shown signs of being a true leader, your comrades need you and without your leadership a lot more of them would have end up severely injure or even dead."
Marine wanted to retort this but she couldn't think of anything to say, she was feeling her eyes heavier, and so she slowly start to sleep.
Ingrid was the first to notice that Marine had lost consciousness and with a worried tone ask to Kakashi "What is happening to Marine? Why had she faint?"
Kakashi finish bandaging Marine's arm and using what little knowledge he had of anatomy to stop the bleeding. "She had lost too much blood and need a transfution as soon as possible, how far is closest hospital?"
One girl hear this and approach them, "Marine-senpai said that backup would arrive in 20 minutes before we start to fighting the Nova, that was 10, maybe 15 minutes ago."
"You hear that Marine! Help will arrive soon! Just hang in there!" said Ingrid to Marine although she was not awake anymore.
Kakashi saw that the rest of the teens were gathering the injure ones and also applying what little first aid they knew, he knew that Marine may not have that much time, but before he could do something he needed to make sure that everyone else was in a more stable condition.
"What is the condition of the rest of the injured ones?"
The girl answer him "ah, there are other 3 Pandoras injured, including Marine-senpai, the other 2 are stable for now and only Marine-senpai has lost consciousness, and 1 Limiter gravely injure… he may not make it, also we… we have also lost 2 Limiters and 1 Pandora, including Albert-senpai."
Kakashi saw that the girls were bringing their injure companions and with a quick glance at the injure girls he saw that they were at least walking, well one was walking, the other was limping since she was missing a foot, but what concern him was the screaming boy, the creature had stab him in the gut, completely going from the front to the back, his stomach was perforate a his spine was sever, he knew this kind of injuries and that the boy only had minutes to live, so he go to his side and using a small gengutsu he put him to sleep.
Everybody look at him concern of what had he done to their classmate, so he tell them, "his injures are fatal, there is nothing we can do about it , so that is why I put him to sleep, to make it painless as he dies."
Everyone was silent for a moment until they hear Ingrid shout, "wake up Marine! WAKE UP!"
Kakashi went to her side and lift Marine in a bridal style, he then face Ingrid and tell her "we need to get her a hospital quickly get onto my back, you are guiding me there!"
"But it is too far away, we need to wait for the backup so they can take her to the hospital." Shout Ingrid with clear concern in her voice.
"They will take too long to get here, I can get her there way faster but I need your help to guide me, I promise you that nothing will happen to her." Kakashi reassure her.
Something about what Kakashi had said, or maybe the tone he had use make her believe in him, so she hop onto his back and firmly hold onto him. "West genetics is in that direction." She said and point a direction with her finger.
After a couple of minutes the first of the reinforcements arrive, this was the squadron lead by Chiffon Fairchild, she start to question some of the students when the reinforcements of west genetics arrive in copters.
Once the copters landed people start to get down of them, medics start to treat the injure students while the Pandoras secure the perimeter, the Pandora that was leading the reinforcements approach Chiffon and the other students.
"Congratulations Chiffon-san for destroying an S-type Nova, you are truly a genius, now I need you to tell me what happen here, and what make you disobey orders and come her?"
"Excuse senpai, but I'm not the responsible for destroying the Nova, neither is someone of my squad." Answer Chiffon.
This surprise the older Pandora who then stare at the surviving girls of Ingrid's squad, "Then the other squad was responsible for the destruction of the Nova, you girl tell me who is your squadron leader and who defeat the Nova."
The girl look really nervous, but answer her anyway, "Marine-senpai is my squad leader, but we were having a lot of trouble battling the Nova, we weren't able to damage it, and after the Nova kill Albert-senpai everyone panics and start to retreat, but then a strange man intervene and defend us from the Nova, he then cover his fist in lightning and with incredible speed he stab the Nova in its core killing it."
The Pandora was looking at her with a doubtful glare, she couldn't believe what she had hear, a man had enter the training area without anyone noticing it? And was able to fight and defeat an S-type Nova? How was that even possible! He was even considering that the traumatize girl was making this up, but with what purpose? It also didn't explain what had happen here.
"If what you say is true then where is this mysterious man that defeated the Nova?" said the older Pandora still not believing her.
"Marine-senpai was severely injure in the battle, so he took her and Ingrid-senpai to West Genetics so she could get medical attention." Answer the girl.
This make the older Pandora lose her temper, "WHAT!? You let him take 2 Pandoras and no one stop him!?"
"We didn't have a chance, he move as fast as a Pandora using accel."
The older Pandora just leave them and walk to the copter and use the radio and open a channel to West Genetics base, "Base this is the rescue team, we have arrive at the location the Nova was detected, we have found that the battle was over and the Nova was destroy, but according to the Pandoras that confront the Nova the responsible for killing the Nova was an unidentified male, unfortunately he has leave the area taking 2 Pandoras with him, according to the witnesses he is taking them to West Genetics hospital."
A female voice respond over the radio, "repeat that again, you said a male civilian eliminate a Nova!? And that he has also taken 2 Pandoras!?"
"That is what the students said, I suggest that we tell the higher brass about this immediately so they can deploy search parties and capture this man before he gets far away."
"We'll do it, but didn't you say that he was heading here? Why would he would do that?"
"Apparently he has taken one of the most injured Pandoras so she can receive medical treatment."
"Then it will be wise to also deploy a team at the hospital to capture him."
"Only if what he said to the students was really true, but I guess it's best to cover all possibilities."
With that the radio conversation ended and everyone get inside the copters and take off to West Genetics.
Meanwhile Kakashi was running as fast as he could but being careful to not drop neither of the girls that he was carrying, after 10 minutes of constant running he had reach the installations of West Genetics and following the instructions of Ingrid he reach the hospital were a group of doctors and nurses were waiting for Marine, and another group of Pandoras and soldiers were waiting for him, he handed Marine to the doctors and turn to face the soldiers and Pandoras.
"I'm guessing that you are here to arrest me?" Kakashi asked, only for the Pandora that was the leader nod with her head.
Ingrid was shock to hear that they were going to arrest the man that had help them and probably save Marine's live by taking her to the hospital so fast, Kakashi only did his patented eye smile, making everyone there wonder how he could do that.
"I see… I will gladly answer any questions you have… but I'm afraid that… you have to… wait a bit since… I'm really… tired…" and then Kakashi pass out and hit the floor.
The Pandora in charge order a medic to examine him, and after he told her that he seem to pass out from exhaustion she order the soldiers to take Kakashi to a detention room for future interrogation.
Hello everyone, thanks for reading the first chapter of my new story, I get the idea of doing a crossover of Naruto and Freezing when I read origin story of Ingrid of the Freezing manga, and how much it reminds me to how kakashi got his sharingan.
So I chose Kakashi as the only character from the Naruto universe that went to the Freezing universe (at least for now and until the manga finally end and I can see who is still alive and if it can fit the story) because almost all Naruto crossovers have Naruto as the main character, if not the only one, that appears in the story, so I would give an opportunity to one of my favorite characters of all mangas/animes.
I will try to deliver a story with lots of actions as well as character development and original situations and developments but and giving a new twist to the story, so I hope everybody will enjoy the changes and be entertain with the story.
Unfortunately I will not update in constant basis because I'm only beginning to read Freezing manga and I will like to read more to get a deeper understanding of the story so I don't screw up at some point and become serious problem in the story.
Also I will focus mostly on my other story (the shinobi who fought the angels), and will only work on this whenever a have some free time or I hit a writer's block on the other one.
Also I would like the support of a someone that has an ample knowledge of the Freezing universe and manga, and a beta reader, so if anyone is interested just send a PM.
