Snow Fox

In the time Naruto travelled across the land and sea, the blonde man learned to discard his foolish self who would run into a fight without a plan. Preparing everything was a step to victory. That was why he asked the King for permission to use the royal library. Knowledge is power. Kurama taught him that and it was one of the reason he made it this far. But he still kept his one and only trait what would make him the person he was. His unpredictable moves and mind prevented his enemies to harm him. The only one who could catch his string of thought would be Kurama, but that was obvious as the fox lived inside Naruto.

Maybe that was the reason why all the aristocrats were on guard as Naruto accompanied the King to their meeting. They didn´t know anything about him, only that he was a foreigner and a skilled warrior. Luckily they didn´t doubt his feats as they trusted King Agnarr´s words.

"I thank you all for hearing out my call despite this late hour. This meeting is of utmost importance for the security of our country." Agnarr began to speak to his consul. They were all seated at a massive table with the king at the head. Naruto who didn´t had a seat, stood at the background, carefully watching everyone and analysing their facial expression and gesture.

"As you all know, I went to investigate the rumour about the so called cursed snowstorm. To tell the truth I never thought that it could be a dread to Arendelle until I first saw it." The king began to shiver lightly as the memories of the encounter, the sight of all the undead surfaced. "I beg you to stay calm as I will tell you everything I saw."

And so, the King shared his story with his councilmen. At first, some of them were in denial, but the more they listened, the more they understood that the king wasn´t joking around. The danger was real, and it could be heading to them any moments.

"Your Highness, what do you intend to do? No, what can we all do to prevent it from coming for us?" A frightened noble asked.

The King went silent as he thought about the only man in this room who was able to chase off the snowstorm. He can´t tell them about the truth behind the stranger as it would breach their agreements between the young man and the King. How much could he tell about Naruto without breaking his promise?

As if he had read the King´s mind, Naruto walked forward to Agnarr´s side and began to speak. "Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I have something to say in this matter."

Immediately one of the councilmen jumped up from his seat and shouted at Naruto. "How dare you speak like this in the presence of his Highness?"

Agnarr, knowing that Naruto wasn´t one of the formal type, halted the man´s rant. "Stop, this person is my honoured guest! Let him speak as he wish."

The man grudgingly bowed to his King and sat back down.

Clearing his throat, Naruto continue to speak. "Ahem, yeah thank you. Now, I am not familiar with this country´s history, but as someone who travelled a lot, I think that the snowstorm might have a connection with some kind of a fable or legend." Seeing the frown on their faces, Naruto knew that what he said sounded dumb. But his experience with mysterious occurrences solidified his guess. Sometimes there was a grain of truth behind myths.

"That´s nonsense! Do you take us for fools?" The same of who raised his voice at Naruto spoke. This time his rant was accompanied by the collective nods of the other councilmembers. Only one man in this room took Naruto´s claim into account and didn´t dismiss it rashly.

This one was the King, who motioned his people to keep it quiet. "Can you explain it to us?"

"I have been gathering knowledge about the world and happened to meet with someone who worked in a profession that involves killing monster and expel evil spirit. Not only did he let me accompany him in his jobs, no, he told me about their characteristics and how to recognize them too. Now what I can tell you is, that what we have to deal with right now isn´t human. Or it isn´t human anymore. Most likely a vengeful ghost or an evil spirit. There exist many stories about those kind of beings, mostly exaggerated but they are based on real sightings."

Everyone could agree that the cursed snowstorm was something out of the realm of mankind. But that they have to start believing in fairy tales was difficult for them.

Finally, one of the nobles took the initiative and asked. "Okay, if what you said is true. But only if! How can we defeat it? What can we do against something out of our realm?"

It wasn´t said with the voice of despair, but rather with the acceptance that humans have their own limit. No one in this room could fight against something that had no body.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto walked slowly away from the table and fixed his gaze outside the window. "There is always a cause for everything. First, finding the true nature of the snowstorm is important. Then making sure that their army of undead won´t get any bigger. To minimize the victims the people living outside the city wall should be evacuated and put inside a safe zone."

"It´s a good start. But the town doesn't have enough space for everyone."

"That´s right. We need to build a makeshift camp nearby if we want to accommodate our people. With the help of the military and all the carpenter in our town, we should be able to build it in a few days. Adding a wooden wall for protecting doubles the time to finish."

Everyone began to discuss and make inputs to the plan. Agnarr gave Naruto a nod of appreciation for his help and ordered his consul to take care of the plan. The King himself was still tired from his escape and withdrew himself to his chamber, where his wife was waiting for him.

Naruto went to rest too and got his own room. The furnishing and decoration were too extravagant for his taste and the blonde considered to ask the servant for a more simple room. But he decided not to do.

"Never look a gift horse in the mouth." He mumbled to himself and began to take off his clothes. Tomorrow he need to tell the King about the next step for their plan.

Line Break(✧ω✧)

Anna was the type of person who would wake up as soon as the sun rise. Normally she would have run to her sister´s room and knock at her door, asking her to come to play with her. Despite her big sister´s non-existent answer, she kept doing it every day and it went on and on and became a sort of ritual to her.

But today was a different day. This time she ran toward the guest room to meet a certain man. She couldn´t sleep much because she was too eager to speak with him.

Standing in front of his room, Anna straightened her dress and fixed her hair for the last time before she knocked at the door. It only took a few seconds and Naruto opened the door.

"Good morning, did you sleep we-well…" Anna couldn´t finish her sentence as she noticed that Naruto was standing at the door only with a towel around his waist.

"Eh, uh, I mean ehm…" The 13-year old girl stuttered and tried to look away.

"Morning too, little one. Thanks, I did sleep well, no wonder with this fluffy bed. It was really comfortable." Answered Naruto, without giving her strange reaction a second thought. "I just finished with taking a shower, so please wait a moment until I dress myself."

He closed the door and left the princess standing alone in front of his room, her face flushed and dreamy gaze fixed on the spot where Naruto left. It was the first time for her to see such a well build body. Not to mention those water drops running down Naruto´s body and glittering under the gleam of the rising sun. A nearby maid came across her and began to panic as she thought the princess got herself a fever.

A few minutes later the blonde man walked with the maroon haired princess beside him to the dining hall. He tried to initiate a conversation but somehow the girl would only give him short answers and look away shamefully. All they could do was to agree to call themselves by their first name.

Naruto shrugged it off as he had more important matter to tend to. Like for example a long session at the royal library. But first he needed breakfast.

They both arrived at the dining hall where King and Queen already awaited for them. Agnarr looked much better in comparison to yesterday. His injuries still could be seen but those were only minor scratches.

"Did you have a nice rest, Naruto?" Agnarr asked while he implied the blonde to sit down.

Naruto replied with a smile. "Yes, I am totally ready for today´s work." He went and fetch himself some food as soon as the servant brought them.

Iduna, the Queen, hid her amused smile behind her hand as she found it refreshing to see someone act all casual in front of the royal family. "My husband told me a few about you. It wasn´t much, that´s why I am really curious about you. So, may I ask where did you come from?"

"The place where I come from is far in the east. Not many outsider knew about this land as it is well hidden. I don´t have good memories about it so I can´t tell you much."

"So I know the reason for your traveling, but how come you are so strong? You told me that your 18-years old, but you fight like a seasoned veteran." Even the oldest knight of their country couldn't approach his fighting capability. The gap between them are too big and Agnarr wanted to know how Naruto was able to achieve his power.

"As I said, you meet many interesting person when you are on the road. Sometime you come across a skilled warrior. Clashing our swords and comparing our strength with each other is a man´s pride. Many moves I have were taught by people I met during my travel. Not only that but sometimes I got a glimpse at their profession too." Naruto answered while a servant poured him coffee inside his empty cup.

Looking at Agnarr, the blonde man said sagely. "King Agnarr, do you know this saying? Knowledge is power?"

"Yes of course." The King nodded and now he understood why Naruto wanted to use the library. "I see."

"Ehm, father, can I accompany Naruto to the library?" Asked a shy Anna. She really wanted to spend more time with the blonde ninja and learn more about him.

"I don´t know. Can she?" Agnarr turned to Naruto as he spoke.

Naruto scratched his head. Normally he intended to do research with his clones. It was the best and fastest way to gather information. Thus, letting a child accompany him would only hinder with his work. But the look she gave him was too cute and he reluctantly agreed to it.

"As long you let me work then it´s fine." He said to Anna.

The girl immediately squealed and a big smile adorned her face. "Of course! I won´t disturb you, I promise!"

Agnarr felt happy to see his daughter in high spirit. He knew how lonely the little girl felt since she couldn´t play with Elsa anymore. Grasping his wife´s hand, he hoped that he could protect her smile.

Line Break (TヘT)

Naruto couldn´t use his Shadow-Clone-Jutsu with Anna watching him. That´s why he used the conventional way and gathered every book that might have useful information. He intended to prepare those books for tomorrow, in the hope that Anna wouldn´t stay with him. Later he had to speak with Agnarr about not letting anyone disturb him in order to use his clones.

While Anna occupied herself with reading a romance novel, Naruto searched through the library for any useful materials. Sometime the girl would glance up from her book and watch him work. He could feel her gaze every time she laid her eyes on him, but it didn´t bother him nor prevented him from doing his research. It just felt awkward and thus the blond boy decided to start a conversation.

"I heard that you have a bigger sister." Naruto said as he piled another book away.

"You mean Elsa? She is always in her room and won´t come out to play with me." Naruto caught the sadness behind her words.

"I tried many times and invited her to play, but she wouldn´t give me an answer."

It seemed that the problem of her older sister was troubling her too. Naruto thought that he should go and take a first look at Elsa´s power.

"Don´t you know why she wouldn´t want to come out of her room?" The blonde asked while still going on with his work.

"Now that you mentioned, not really. I don´t know why exactly. I think I asked mother about it once but she said that I shouldn´t worry about it. She said that someday Elsa will come and join us. I should just give her time or something like that." Anna laid her book to the side and childishly swung her feet around.

"Naruto, what about your family?"

"…"

Anna looked at Naruto quizzically. The young man stopped at what he was doing. The question was too sudden and they blonde ninja contemplated about whether he should answer her or not. Anna isn´t really a bad girl. He knew that she asked him out of curiosity. Having that in mind he decided to tell her a little bit about himself.

"You know, I was raised without my parents. I am an orphan so I don´t have any family." He told her. That shocked the young princess and she regretted asking him.

"I am sorry. I shouldn´t have asked you." She apologized.

"No, it´s okay. You couldn't have known about me being an orphan."

Naruto closed his eyes and crossed his arms as memories about his childhood began to come forth.

"It was a hard life, being all alone but I never gave up. People talked behind my back because of who I am. Because of something that was out of my control."

He sighted and a little smiled formed on his face as he thought about Teuchi, Ayame and his old sensei Iruka.

"But there are a handful of people who didn´t think badly about me. They were the only one who supported me. And I think, without them I wouldn´t be standing here. Their words pushed me to do my best."

Naruto opened his eyes and looked at Anna, as he said. "They were my family."

Anna could only smile in happiness as she listened to Naruto. "I won´t give up too, for the sake of Elsa!" She declared with confident.

"Hehe, that´s the spirit." The positive vibe radiating from the girl affected Naruto too. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted. "Now I am all fired up! Let´s do this!" With the newfound motivation he continued with his work at a much faster pace.

"Hahaha, go Naruto!" Anna laughed hearty as she cheered the blonde on. It was obvious that she had much fun spending time with him.

Line Break ┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴

Somewhere in the wildness a single silhouette could be seen. The outline of it showed that it was a woman as her long snow white hairs flew around in the silent snowstorm. She wore a short white dress that was uncommon to the cold season.

The snowstorm calmly brushed against her.

"Shhh, my child. Did you find something for me?"

The snowstorm blew pass her and undead that were once proud soldiers of Arendelle marched forth.

The woman looked at them.

"Those crest. Yes, I remember."

The snowstorm circled around her.

"Hm, show me the way, my dear."

Slowly all the undead raised their arms up.

They all aimed at the same direction.

As if she was trying to make something out that was way too far away, the woman concentrated her gaze on one point. Times goes by but the woman kept staring at the same direction.

.

.

.

"Now I see you."

.

.

.

Elsa screamed.

She gasped rapidly and sweats run down her face. The terror she felt was written on her face. Those blue eyes that belonged to the woman, they were looking at her. She knew that it sounded ridiculous but it felt too real. The girl looked around and noticed that she had frozen her own blanket and bed.

"Not again." She sighted. She called out her maids and waited for them to change her bed.

Elsa tried not to think about her dream. Surely it wouldn´t have to do with their current crisis. The snowstorm, the undead and now this woman. She tried to tell herself that it was all a coincident. That it was all a bad dream and nothing she saw was real.

Someone touched her shoulder and the princess jumped up in surprise.

"Y-Your bed is ready, princess." The maid tried not to upset Elsa and backed away.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work. You may go now."

Elsa locked the door as soon as the maids left her room. Instead of going to bed, she walked to the window and gazed at the stars. The dream was still affecting her and she feared to go back to sleep. She whispered the last words the woman said. "Now I see you."

Who does she mean? And the woman, who was she? Questions without an answer began to form in her head. Soon the girl found herself exhausted from all the ponding and went to sleep.

.

.

"Good night, my dear. Until we meet again."

Oh man, how long has it been? Yep, took me a while but too late is better than nothing, right? Now this chapter is a bit shorter than the other two, but I had to balance my real life with fanfiction writing.

To all who wished me luck with my exams, thanks a lot! I appreciate it! Still not finished with every subjects but I am working hard on it.

Okay, how about we play a little guessing game. The entity that is threatening our main characters is something I picked out of a folklore. Your task is to guess the name of the being. The winner get to make a wish that influence the story. For example the pairing or a certain plot. I will try to make it happen as long as it doesn´t sound too stupid. (For example let Sasuke appear in this story and netorare all the girls.)

The first one to guess it right is the winner! Good luck everyone!
