Author's note: Ok, I decided to make the main OC here a girl, because I came up with a few plot twists that would work only if I do that, so…you'll see. I changed the summary to reflect that as well, because it wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Going back to the prologue, a friend pointed out to me that "Aku" means dark as in evil, so I'm changing the Akukage to the Kurokage, because "Kuro" means dark as in black, so it's more fitting.

Also, I changed the main characters from Naruto and Sakura to Sasuke, because the main pairing will be Sasuke/OC. There will be NaruSaku, but much later, after she stops being an obsessive fangirl.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does. I only own the OCs and the idea of the Land of Darkness.

Chapter 3: Playing with ice.

Four years later:

Hitomi smiled as she watched her daughter Kasumi run around in circles chasing a butterfly, then her memory strayed to the girl's birth five years ago.

Flashback:

Kazuki smiled. "Welcome to the world, Kirisi Tsukijin."

He looked closer at the small child and frowned. "Doctor?"

"Yes?"

"If this is a boy, then where's the…um…wiener?"

The doctor took the baby and examined it. After a few minutes he chuckled nervously.

"Ah, my mistake, forgive me." He stammered. "It's a girl."

Flashback ends.

"Where's the wiener?" Hitomi yelled inside the house.

"Give it a rest already." Came from inside. "It was five years ago."

"Yeah, and you're still an idiot." She teased.

Kasumi ran up to her mother excitedly, holding some water in her hands.

"Mommy, look what I can do." She threw away the water she had, cupped her hands together, and more water appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

Hitomi looked at the water, stunned, then yelled for Kazuki to come out.

"Honey, can you show your daddy again?"

Kasumi nodded happily, then did the trick again.

"So what do you think of this?" Hitomi asked her husband.

Kazuki peered closer at his daughters' hands. "I think this water looks kinda solid."

Hitomi looked back at the water, only to notice that Kasumi had somehow frozen it.

"This is so cool." Little Kasumi giggled. "I wonder what else I can do." She waved her hand and water flew in the direction she waved in.

Kazuki rubbed his chin. "You know, I think that it's a bloodline of some sort. I think a clan in Kirigakure can do similar things. Besides, didn't your granduncle the Nidaime have a similar power?"

Hitomi thought about it for a second. "True, but we're closer genetically to the Shodaime. Then again, the Nidaime was his brother, so I guess she could have gotten it anyway. Keep it in the family, the saying goes."

Kazuki glanced at his daughter, who was forming senbon needles out of ice, then back to his wife.

"We should definitely train her as a ninja. She would be awesome."

Hitomi smiled and nodded.

Elsewhere:

A mass of people with their faces covered in shadow by the hoods they were wearing sat in a darkened room. After the last one came in and took his seat, the one who appeared to be the leader stood up.

"It is decided. The Kurokage has grown soft and generous. He lets the Shinobi of the village do as they please, overpays them for missions, and shows no intention of enforcing any of the village laws." He turned to one of the listeners, who promptly stood up. "Has the Tsukijin informant agreed to open his clan's area gate for us to start the rebellion?"

The person bowed. "Yes, sir. However, he has stated that he does not wish to take part in the fighting. He also said that he can't live with himself, so after he opens the gate tomorrow, he wants us to kill him."

The leader sweatdropped. "That…doesn't make any sense. But, he is a traitor to the Tsukijin, who's to say he won't betray us later? Ok, we'll kill him as well."

The leader then scowled at his followers. "However, we seek to put down the Kurokage, not eradicate the entire Tsukijin clan. To that end, we only kill the ones actively fighting against us. Should some of the clan sit idly by, surrender peacefully, or evacuate and leave, we will not kill them. Kill the opposition only. Am I clear?"

There was a murmur of assent from the rebels.

The leader smirked under his hood. "Then tomorrow…the Kurokage will fall!"

Author's note: Ok, about the mistake with Kasumi's gender…I really doubt that they have scanners and sonograms in the Narutoverse. As for the doctor's mistake…he was just an incompetent fool. (Shrugs) Had to be done…or written, as the case may be.
