Crucify My Love
Chapter 2: A Frozen Angel
Written By Jlargent
Me: Wow! Four people added me to their favorites within thirty minuets of publishing chapter one a new record. Now before I begin I want to tell you that the Naruto in this fic is smarter that he lets on. His emotional mask also hides his intelligence from others if you think about it; it would make sense considering that he's been emotionally and physically abused by ignorant civilians and ninjas. And in my opinion a smarter Naruto is easier to have rather than an idiot version, it makes for a better story
Faust: Typical disclaimers apply, Jlargent does not own Guilty Gear or Naruto in any way.
Me: On with the show folks!
Naruto's POV
Sometimes I wonder if the fates have a sense of humor and if they do it must be rather twisted for me to be paired up with a pink haired howler monkey, and a self-proclaimed avenger who has no idea what it means to be truly grateful for all the things he has, finally to top it all off my sensei is a lazy perverted idiot who focuses more on said avenger rather than give the time of day to his other two students. Despite what others think about me I'm not a complete idiot I've hidden my intelligence for so long and my true self the person that I am is all an illusion after all deception is a shinobi's greatest tool, I know that they don't give a care about me since all I am is to them is useless piece of space since I fulfill the required slot for a three man squad. After the bell test I was left tied to that stump for hours until an ANBU found me and freed me, after which I marched straight to my adoptive grandfather and told him what happened. Sadly his hands are tied due to the bane of my existence the all powerful civilian council wanted me on team 7 to make sure that I was put in my place to try and make my life more of a hell than it already is, I refuse to let those short sighted idiots try to control me they are seeking an excuse to desecrate my father's name. That's right my father Minato Namikaze the previous Hokage the man who sealed the nine tailed fox demon within me on the day of my birth I figured it out on my 7th birthday while I was hiding from the murderous mobs that were out for fox blood, mine in particular that night since the majority of the villagers believe that I am the fox that they should kill me to finish the job, you'd have to be deaf, blind and stupid not to notice the similarities. I haven't told anyone about my father because I understand that he wouldn't ask anyone else's parents to sacrifice their child to protect the village, it was then I decided to become Hokage to honor my father. I imagine if I didn't have him or the other precious people that I could care about I would become someone who would kill to justify my existence.
Meanwhile in the desert village of Suna a red-haired boy sneezes as he swerves his head to spot a person with eyes filled with fear. A moment later a blood curdling scream fills the village as the poor victim is brutally murdered.
Our first C rank mission immediately went straight to hell as soon as we were ambushed by the demon brothers and instead of returning to the village the client coerced us into continuing the mission which we had no choice but to do the job which we were assigned to do Argh! Times like these I wish common sense would take over instead of insisting on completing the mission. I thought bitterly as I was staying up making sure nobody would sneak up on us. As I sit there with the fire going I could hear the various animals and insects I reach into a pocket in my jacket to pull out a photo of my parents and a photo of Hinata, I've known for some time that she has a crush on me like I said you'd have to be deaf, blind and dumb not to notice Ridiculous. Who could ever love a demon? She would run away like everyone else would. I thought as I noticed a falling star in the sky, I chuckled as the thought of making a wish was foolish but I decided to humor the gods of irony What to wish for? To be Hokage? Nah won't happen that fast. I know; I wish to be loved by someone who really cares who I am despite the infernal furball from hell that's trapped within my stomach. I silently thought as the star fades into the night sky, when I noticed another light in the sky but this light was red and moving too fast and too low to be a comet it disappeared in a small clearing not far from the camp and I heard a crash that woke the rest of my team and Tazuna and quickly explained the situation, I quickly create a pair of shadow clones and head into the direction of the crash site.
As I approach the site there was snow falling in light flakes for some strange reason, the closer I get to it I could see frost on the trees forcing me to walk on the ground, finally after ten minuets of walking I arrived at the impact to see large pillars of ice within a ten foot crater. I slowly approach the center of the site taking care not to slip on the ice, in the center is a giant pillar of ice, and for a moment I catch a glimpse of something inside I peer closer to confirm my suspicions. To my shock and awe I could clearly see a girl inside in a fetal position, her eyes clenched shut as if she was expecting a blow, I could clearly see a pair of wings extended out but the odd thing about them was her left wing was white as snow and her right wing was a black as night, her dark blue hair was adorned with a yellow ribbon, and I could clearly see a tail also adorned with a yellow ribbon. I send my clones back to the camp to have Kakashi and Sauske use their fire jutsus to free this frozen angel. They arrived a few minuets later while they use their jutsus to slowly melt the ice around the trapped girl Bastard's probably going to take all the credit for rescuing her. I thought by looking into Kakashi's eye I could already hear the report as they slowly free her and carry her back to the camp, I discretely create a shadow clone and send it back to Konoha to inform the Hokage of the current situation.
I keep watch over her while Sakura searches through her bags for some clothing that she could wear, I grab her wrist checking her pulse while her body was on a sleeping bag and her body covered with a blanket, while she sleeps several questions rush through my head: Who is she? Is she like me? How did she become trapped in the ice? All the while this girl lays there oblivious to the world I grab a bowl of water and a washcloth and wring out the excess water and move her hair out of the way as I place the wash cloth in an attempt to break the fever that she's having. I could only hope that in the morning that she would be well enough to travel with us.
To be continued.
Me: Next time: Team 7 interrogates the mysterious angel and encounters Zabuza Momochi. In the previous chapter I know that in the official story on Testament was that he was an orphan during the crusades and he was adopted by Kliff. But I felt as though he needed an actual reason for becoming a Gear hybrid thus the murdered fiancée was key. It's my belief that a person needs an actual reason for their actions, for example Zabuza he wanted to change the way things were run in his village and he failed in that attempt. That's enough rambling for now so please read and review.
As always Hoody Hoo!
