Freshly Fallen Snow

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. Do feel free in on whether you would like this to remain a pretty lighthearted story or if you would like some sort of villain to show up. I don't really count the wolves or Hans as villains since the wolves are just being wolves and Hans clearly isn't a threat to someone like Sasuke. There will be at least some action either way though.

Chapter Notation: I know that a lot of people have been looking forward to seeing Sasuke showcase more of his abilities. So Sasuke is going to show off a bit in this chapter. Happy reading

Special Announcement: If you're interested, feel check out my profile for information about upcoming stories. I'm planning on releasing a bunch of them relatively soon.

Chapter 4

Her sister was such a hopeless romantic. It was both one of the most endearing and annoying things about Anna really.

"Just things." Elsa shakes her head at the princess. "It's not really my secret to share."

The queen knew what it was like to have magic. She also knew that not everyone reacted well to finding out you had magic. So Elsa knew one thing for sure. She wasn't going to give away Sasuke's 'secrets' without asking first, even if she wasn't entirely sure that they were secrets in the first place.

Anna's eyes light up at that and Elsa mentally groans. "So you two already have a secret?" This wouldn't end well. "That's so romantic."

Alright. It wasn't really fair to call Anna a hopeless romantic. The woman was married, after all. Still though, her sister needed to get it through her head that Elsa wasn't about to start walking down the aisle anytime soon.

"It's not like that." The ice user rolls her eyes. "We're just friends and even that's kinda stretching it." It's not like Sasuke had ever come out and said they were friends officially. That would be weird.

"Don't worry." Anna beams at her. "I'm sure you can win him over. Your magic is amazing and you're beautiful. Oh and you're a queen too."

This was going to be a long day, Elsa sighs feeling rather relieved when she hears the sounds of footsteps coming towards them. Three sets of them. So that could only mean one thing. Kristoff, Olaf, and Sasuke were back.

"Guys, you're not going to believe this." Kristoff shakes his head. "Hans actually came here to apologize."

What? Well his apology was not accepted. The man had nearly gotten Anna killed.

Elsa feels her hands growing icy cold in outrage. "Well tell him to leave and that his apology isn't accepted." She may have gotten a better handle on her powers lately, but that didn't mean that the queen didn't slip up now and then. "Besides, shouldn't he be mucking out stables or something of that nature?"

Sasuke snorts at that and smirks. "I wish Kristoff had told me that part, but it doesn't matter." Clearly, the fighter for hire found the idea of Hans cleaning up horse manure just as amusing as Elsa did. "He's gone now. 'Hans' ran off with his tail between his legs."

Well that was good. Elsa really didn't want to deal with that prince. Though she was almost afraid to ask why Hans had run off so quickly.

"Sasuke threw a fireball at him!" Olaf smiles cheerfully. "He's just like you, but with fire instead of ice and snow!"

Well so much for keeping Sasuke's 'secret.' It probably didn't matter though. If Sasuke felt secure enough to hurl a fireball at Hans, maybe he just didn't care who knew about his powers.

Anna blinks as she looks at Elsa and then at Sasuke before looking at her sister again. "Oh." Obviously, the princess had finally put the missing puzzle pieces together again. "So that's what you meant by you had a lot in common."

Yes, that's exactly what Elsa meant. On the bright side, perhaps the red head would put these ridiculous visions of Elsa walking down the aisle to bed now.

"Yes." Elsa looks at Sasuke with concern. "Are you alright?" She bites her lower lip anxiously while imagining what Hans must have done to deserve a fireball. "He didn't hurt any of you, did he?"

Kristoff laughs at that and claps Sasuke on the back. "He never got the chance." That was good. "As soon as Sasuke started showing off his firepower, he ran off." That was a really bad pun.

On the other hand, a thought occurs to Elsa. She could control snow and ice. Did that mean that Sasuke could use more than just fire?

It was hard to think of what a 'matching' affinity would be though. Snow and ice went together. It was only logical for her to be able to wield both. What would 'match' with fire though?

"Well that's good." Elsa directs her gaze towards Sasuke. "Would you mind showing us more of what you can do or is it only fireballs?"

If it was just fireballs, that was still pretty damn impressive. It was also not a good thing if she and Sasuke were to ever fight.

"I can do more than fireballs." Sasuke actually smirks at the question. "It's just that I don't want to scare you."

Oh now that was a challenge. Elsa didn't scare easily. After all, she was the woman who had nearly set off a permanent winter.

Kristoff laughs at that and shakes his head. "You probably shouldn't have said that." Laughter dances in his eyes. "Now, she's going to demand to see what you're capable of."

Well he was right about that much. Elsa was indeed going to demand it. Curiosity was now getting the better of her.

"It's fine." Sasuke shakes his head. "Though if I'm actually going to show you anything serious, we should probably go outside. It's a safety thing." Hmm. Well that did sound interesting.

Elsa smiles at that. "Great." She grabs Sasuke's hand and starts dragging him out of the room. "Let's go. I can't wait to see what you can do."

The prospect of seeing someone else use magic like her was exciting. So exciting in fact, the others could barely keep up with them. That was alright though. They weren't going far.


"Brat, what do you want now?" Gamabunta glares at Naruto.

Why was the brat always disturbing him, when Gamabunta was trying to sleep? Didn't the blond understand how hard it was for him to get any sleep as a parent?

"It's about Sasuke." Naruto nods at him.

Not this garbage again. "Let me guess, he ran off." The giant toad growls in irritation. "So now you're going to chase him across the Five Great Nations." Again.

The Summon could only hope that wasn't the case because that song and dance was getting really old. Correction, it was well passed its sell by date.

"No, he didn't run off." Naruto frowns at the question. "Well not exactly. He went to investigate some rumors and he used his portal thing."

The toad didn't like where this was going. Naruto didn't have the Rinnegan. So he probably couldn't follow Sasuke. Summons might be able to though.

"I'll talk to Aoda." One of Sasuke's Summons.

The snake was by far the most vocal one and seemed alright. Well as alright as a snake ever got anyway. Gamabunta had never been particularly fond of reptiles though. So he was kinda biased.

Naruto grins at him. "Really?" It was ridiculously easy to make that ninja happy sometimes.

"Of course." He lets out a heavy sigh of annoyance. "I know that if I don't, you'll never let me know a moment's peace otherwise." So it really was best just to get it over with.

Surprisingly enough, the Daimyo was looking at him gratefully. Well that and with some awe. Gamabunta could understand why though. He was pretty awesome looking.

"It's amazing how big Summons can get." Koyuki nods in observation. "Thank you so much for your help. I don't mean to put you out, but we're worried about him."

They didn't need to worry about the Uchiha brat though. That was one ninja who was astonishingly hard to kill. Honestly, it seemed like Sasuke had more lives than a cat and he was even harder to cat than one.

"It's fine." He sighs and shakes his mighty head. "I'll be back soon. I just have to speak with Aoda and I'll see what's going on." Maybe, the snake would know something.


Sasuke wasn't sure how he felt about this. Showing them everything he was capable of would be the height of stupidity, but clearly the queen wanted to see more than a fireball. Maybe, the Chidori would be a compromise.

"You don't have to worry." Elsa drags him towards the courtyard. "I'm not going to be scared of whatever it is you can do."

Right. Well she said that now, but Sasuke doubted she'd still be singing that tune after she saw the Amaterasu or his Susanoo.

"Okay." He smiles as he looks over his shoulder and sees the rest of their friends coming. "I'll start off with something simple for me. Well, it's simple now but it was a hard technique to learn at first."

He still loved it though. Sasuke would always be grateful to Kakashi for giving him such an adaptable Jutsu. He doubted that Kakashi had ever really envisioned that the Chidori could be adapted in so many ways, but it had saved Sasuke's life more than once.

"Did someone teach you how to use your magic?" Elsa tilts her head. "I just kinda figured it out on my own."

Right. That was another difference between this world and the next. Magic was apparently rare enough that Sasuke doubted there were any ninja academies in it.

Sasuke smiles at the question. "Both. I had instructors and I also did some solo training." His parents, Itachi, Iruka, Kakashi, and Orochimaru all counted as instructors. "Alright. Well I did a lot of training."

It seemed like most of his life had been training for one thing or another and while he had made substantial progress, everything he wanted was always just out of Sasuke's reach. Whether it was revenge, inner peace, or something else.

"That makes sense." Kristoff nods at that. "I doubt very many people start off just hurling fireballs like Elsa uses her snow. Maybe, fire is a more difficult element to master."

That was an interesting theory and it wasn't entirely wrong. It all depended on a person's affinity or affinities.

How could he possibly explain that to someone like Kristoff though? It was one thing to tell a Genin or Academy student that, but these people didn't understand the first thing about chakra. Well other than Elsa. Maybe.

"It depends." Sasuke nods at them. "For me, fire comes naturally. For others, it would be difficult. It just depends on the person."

That should be simple enough. He wasn't even going to try to explain different chakra natures to them. That would get too complicated and in a world like this, Sasuke doubted they'd ever really need the information anyway.

"That makes sense." Anna nods at him eagerly. "Do you think that you could teach us?"

Sasuke wasn't really sure about that. In theory, everyone had chakra. Anna and Kristoff were civilians though. It wouldn't be easy to activate their chakra networks an that was assuming that the same laws of biology even applied in this place.

"I don't think so." He frowns at that. "I think it's something that you're born with."

That was the simplest answer. It was best to keep things from getting even more complicated than they already were.

"What's the technique?" Olaf smiles at him cheerfully.

Sasuke smirks at the innocent question. "It's called the Chidori and it's very adaptable." It was unlikely any of them would fully appreciate how adaptable it was, but Elsa. Even then though, the raven haired ninja wasn't entirely sure that the queen would fully understand.

"Alright." Elsa looks at him encouragingly. "Why don't you show us the Chidori then?"

Sasuke nods as he forms the Chidori in his hand. It was comforting in a strange way to hear the 'birds chirping' and to feel the warmth of his own energy in his hand as it glowed with an ethereal blue light.

"This is the Chidori." He nods at them. "It's a lightning attack and I have enough chakra control that I can alter its shape." Something that had taken him awhile to figure out, but once he had the applications of this technique were many and damn useful at that.

"Awesome!" Anna beams at him. "Can you make a heart out of the lightning because that would be really cool."

Sasuke rubs the back of his head sheepishly. He probably could, but he'd never had any reason to try.

"Possibly, but it's more of a combat technique than for show." Sasuke shakes his had as he makes a sword out of the lightning chakra. "I can make a sword, spears, senbon, and even radiate it along my body to serve as a defense."

While Anna was pouting at the lack of a heart, Elsa tilts her head at his list. Sasuke knew that look well. It was the look of someone who was considering the effectiveness of various techniques.

He had seen it many times. Usually, from Orochimaru. This was different though.

"Can you show the radiation one?" Elsa smiles at him.

He might not have known the Snow Queen long, but Sasuke knew she was no Orochimaru. The woman had 'saved' a stranger from a pack of wolves. She didn't seem like the type to lust after power in the way Orochimaru or even Sasuke had.

The Uchiha nods. "Yes, I call this the Chidori Current." He radiates the lightning along his body, wrapping himself in the blue energy. "It's a fairly easy defense for me to use and generally, an effective one."

"Pretty!" Olaf quickly strides over to him.

This wasn't going to end well. Sasuke swiftly moves away from the curious snowman.

"Yes, it's very pretty." Sasuke shakes his head. "Though you don't want to touch it. It's lightning."

Elsa nods in understanding at that. "Is there anything else that you can do?" Damn. They were probably going to be here all day at this rate.

Still, Sasuke knew that he'd have to be careful. It wasn't the first time that the thought it, but the Uchiha didn't want to overwhelm them.

"There are a lot of things that I can do." He smiles at her.

"I'm sure there are!" Anna giggles, prompting dirty looks from both him and Elsa.

Hell, even Kristoff was shaking his head at his wife. Which was certainly saying something. The man had married the woman. He knew exactly what the bubbly princess was like. Though apparently, Anna's mind was occasionally not nearly as pure as the snow that surrounded them.

"Anna!" The queen growls.

"I was just saying." The younger woman puts up her hands in a gesture of surrender. "I mean he is a fighter for hire. Sasuke can probably do lots of stuff." Right. Somehow, he doubted that's what she meant.

She was right though. Sasuke did have quite the diverse set of attacks.

"This is the sword version." Sasuke makes the sword. "I'll also show you the Shadow Clone Jutsu." They should get a kick out of Naruto's favorite technique.

Well actually, it as a toss up. Did the loser favor his Rasengan or Shadow Clones more? Sasuke wasn't even sure himself and he'd known Naruto forever.

"Clones?" Olaf looks at Sasuke excitedly.

Sasuke nods as he makes a clone of himself. "It's a basic technique where I come from." In fact, it was a requirement to even graduate the Academy. "The more magic and better control you have of your magic, the more clones you can make." Of course, Naruto spammed them like they were going out of style. "I just made one as an example."

Everyone was looking at his double in awe. To him, it was a basic technique and hardly worth noting. To them, well it was apparently fascinating.

He couldn't lie. This was a stroke to his ego. Receiving all this praise for his most basic techniques was pretty fun. It was almost enough to make him want to pull out his more impressive moves, but he'd save those for later. If there was a later.


Aoda blinks at Gambunta. What was the toad doing in his domain? The two of them had fought side by side on the battlefield before, but they'd never socialized otherwise.

"Don't give me that look." He shakes his head. "I'm not here to make friends. Apparently, your Summoner has run off to another dimension and the brat is getting worried."

Oh. Well that would explain it. Honestly, why did Gamabunta have to be so disrespectful towards his Summoner? He should have better manners.

"Very well." The massive snake nods his head in understanding. "I shall try to lock onto his chakra signature and go where Sasuke is." After that, he'd issue a full report. "Tell your Master not to worry." He smiles at the toad in what he hoped was a reassuring manner. "I shall be back soon."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the toad just had to go and be difficult. "He's not my Master." Gamabunta rolls his eyes at the very thought of such a thing. "I've just got a contract with him. Have some self-respect. Humans aren't our owners."

Aoda would have snorted at that, if he was able to. Unfortunately, being a snake would make such a task rather difficult.

"You need not be jealous of my relationship with Master Sasuke." He shakes his head at the other Summon. "I'm quite certain that Lord Naruto does care for you as well. If you would stop being so grumpy, he might even tell you so directly."

The toad begins twitching and Aoda chuckles. "The brat does care about me and I'm not jealous." Mission accomplished.

It was always such a delight to ruffle the grouchy old toad's scales or whatever Gamabunta called his skin. The toad deserved it really. He was far too disrespectful towards his Master!

"Of course, you are." Aoda smiles as he disappears in a loud poof of smoke.


What he saw when he emerges from his teleportation was confusing. He was in a Land of Snow and Sasuke was surrounded by people that Aoda didn't recognize and they were now screaming at him.

"IT'S A GIANT SNAKE!" A red headed woman tries to run away in terror.

A man stands in front of him valiantly. "You're not coming near my wife." Which was rather rude. Why did the man assume that Aoda was going to eat or something?

Some humans could be so stereotypical. Aoda personally blamed Manda. He was the sort of Summon that gave all other Snake Summons a bad name.

"It's alright!" A blonde points her hands out. "I'll freeze him."

Well Aoda was already far more cold than he wanted to be. Had he been a normal snake, he probably would be dead. Thankfully, he wasn't normal. He was a Summon.

"AHHHH!" A snowman joins the red headed woman in running away in terror.

Since when did talking snowmen exist? Now, Aoda had seen everything.

Sasuke sighs and shakes his head. "EVERYONE STOP!" His Master was very good at getting people's attention. "There's no need to be afraid. This is Aoda." He smiles at them all reassuringly. "He's my Summon."

The red head skids to a halt and blinks. "You have a giant snake for a pet?" Aoda preferred the term Summon, thank you very much.

"No." Sasuke shakes his head. "He's a Summon. There's a different." Damn right, there was a difference!
