Start Chapter
The sun was just starting to set over the Village of Konoha. Most kids at this time, were just starting to lie down, to rest for the day ahead of them.
But unfortunely for one such 5-year-old, instead of starting to begin to rest, he was running for his life, not far behind him, an angry mob was chasing after him. While chasing after the 5 year old they were constantly shouting at the small child, using language a little kid should never hear.
Ducking behind a corner, Naruto tried to make himself as small as he possibly could to hide from the angry adults that were currently chasing after him.
Too scared to look back, Naruto stayed in his hiding place until he no longer heard the footfalls of the people that were chasing him, meaning them to be far enough away to were he should be able to sneak away.
Quietly standing from his hiding place, he started to walk away only to run, right into someone and fall on his back.
Looking up Naruto took in the appearance of the man, but the thing that clearly stood out was the shiny headband the man was wearing on his forehead, signifying him as a ninja for Konoha.
"Oh thank God, I thought you were on of those mean people" Naruto exclaimed with a relieved expression on his face.
"Don't worry little demon, we'll take good care of you" the ninja in front of Naruto said while brandishing his weapon.
When Naruto turned to run away from his savior turned nightmare he ran right into another ninja wearing a Konoha headband. Turning his head to the side he found two more ninja's stationed on both his left and right.
Falling to his knees, Naruto seemed to give into what fate has given him. When he was hit with a mind numbing headache.
Cradling his head in between his hands, he shut his eyes and started to scream in pain. Over the screaming he could have sworn he heard an animalistic like growling voice that echoed all through out his head "UNLIKE YOU WEAKLING, I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DIE!"
After hearing this every cell in his body seemed to freeze over, and an unknown power source flooded Naruto's chakra. A dark blue aura erupted over Naruto, surrounding the boy in it's power.
When Naruto looked back up at his enemies, his canines had fully grown into fangs, hi whisker marks seemed to be expanding becoming darker and growing, covering more and more of his face. But the thing that the ninja in front of Naruto noticed was Naruto's normal bright blue eyes seemed to be cover in a thin layer of ice, making it impossible to see his actual eyes. All you could see was the reflection of yourself and the world around you.
With a fierce yell that sounded more animal then human, Naruto's aura enveloped the whole area causing everything that was unlucky enough to touch it into ice. When the ANBU finally made it onto the scene all they found was the four ninjas standing still, turned into ice sculptures and Naruto curled up into the center looking pale, and every breath he took was visible to the human eye as if it was freezing cold, only in Konoha it was the middle of summer and way to hot to cause anything like that to happen. The childon the ground then startedshiver as if he was freezing.
The closest ANBU, one that had a tall and lanky form and silver hair that stood up, walked towards the child and picked him up. Only to find when he touch the child's skin, the body part that touched it started to become numb, much like the feeling of getting a case of frost bite.
Looking at the child weirdly, the ANBU ninja took his ninja vest off and wrapped the child in it, he then jumped away, to get the child to a hospital as fast as he could, leaving his fellow ANBU ninja to take care of the frozen ninjas.
7 years later...
"NO INO-PIG, I'M SITTING NEXT TO SASUKE" Sakura screamed at Ino, while pointing at the boy they were talking about.
"You wish forehead-girl" Ino screamed back at Sakura.
Looking on from where he sat in the back row, Naruto stared at the scene the two girls created unemotionally.
Naruto has changed a lot from his younger self. His skin which was once a healthy tan color, was now a deathly pale color. Naruto's eyes once lively and a deep blue, where now a emotionless, dull blue. His hair no longer spiky, or a bright blonde color, but a dull blonde that fell straight down to the middle of his back.
Gone were the bright and exuberant colored clothes. He now wore a black long sleeve turtle neck shirt, that clung tightly to his upper body. Over this he wore a black kimono and a pair a hakama, tied at the waste by a white slash(1). Around his neck he constantly wore a pure white scarf, that was made in Kirigakure no Sato (2), which Naruto has named Touketsu Zetsumei(3). Instead of the normal ninja sandals most of the ninja's wear around their feet, Naruto wore a pair of wooden sandals.
"I don't understand it Akamaru, we're way better looking then Sasuke, why aren't the girls fighting over us" Kiba said to his canine companion, who received a bark back as a response.
Naruto calmly looked over the class and hearing all the other noises his classmates were making muttered to himself "How annoying." Then tried to tune out the rest of the room.
When the door to the classroom opened and in walked Iruka Umino walked in, causing everyone to instantly stop what they were doing and started to pay attention to the front of the classroom.
Iruka seeing that he had everyone, but Naruto's, attention decided to start class. "Okay students" Iruka called out addressing his students "With the genin exam being tomorrow, were going to start class today practicing Henge no Jutsu, so everybody line up in front of the classroom." Electing a loud groan from most everyone in the classroom.
Class was now finally over. As Naruto was making his way out of the building, to the place where he trains almost daily, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched, and followed.
Now walking throw the one of the many forest that covered Konoha, Naruto was making his way to the training ground that he personally used.
A kunai the silently flew through the forest heading straight at Naruto. At the last second Naruto brought his hand up and caught the flying projectile, right before it hit his face.
Looking were the weapon was thrown from, he wasn't surprised to see the form of a girl, who was wearing a pink shirt with no sleeves, blue pants and had her brown hair tied into buns at the top of her head. She had a smirk on her face as she looked down at Naruto from were she stood on the tree branch.
Naruto just continued to stare at her, the kunai in his hand became a frosty blue, then turned to ice in his hand, before breaking into little pieces.
Seeing her kunai break Ten-Ten lost her smile and said annoyingly to Naruto "You know, you could have just threw it back to me, Naruto-kun."
"Then maybe you shouldn't have thrown it at me" Naruto responded quietly back to Ten-Ten, as he turned and continued his way towards the place he trained at.
Ten-Ten jumped down from her position on the tree branch and was now walking next to Naruto "Oh come on Naruto-kun, that's how I always greet you, you should expect it now" She answered, Naruto's quiet statement.
Naruto stopped and looked at her and said quietly "And I always freeze your weapon, you should expect it by now" Naruto said back, then continued walking.
"Your mean you know that Naruto-kun, I don't even know why I hang around with you" Ten-Ten called to Naruto's retreating form, before running up and catching up with him.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at Ten-Ten as they continued to walk and asked her "Why do you continue to annoy me, don't you have a team now?"
Ten-Ten looked at him weirdly before saying "Oh come on, just because I have a team now doesn't mean that I still can't annoy you, after all your my favorite target."
Causing Naruto to stop once again, look her way and sigh to himself before saying "As you wish" and continued to walk.
Ten-Ten smiled at him warmly at his retreating back, before shouting "So what are we going to today" and running to catch up to him.
When Naruto finally was making his way back home, it was already becoming dusk, and even though he trained from the time school left out till just a little bit ago, he didn't have any kind of marks on his black kimono and he showed no signs offatigue at all, almost as if he didn't do any training.
Walking into the house he lived in, Naruto proceeded to go right into the kitchen expecting to see food ready to be eaten.
What he found was not food but a note.
Picking it up, Naruto started to read what it said to himself:
Dear Naruto-kun,
Sorry I'm not home, but the Hokage gave me an important mission that I couldn't turn down. I most likely won't be there to see you graduate tomorrow's genin exam either, so I would like to say beforehand CONGRATULATIONS. Now try not to have to much fun tomorrow without me, and remember if you bring a girl over to the house and have your way with her, tape it for me.
Love,
Anko
"Tape it " Naruto muttered to himself, before crumpling up the note and throwing it away "Sick, homicidal, pervert" Naruto said as went up the stairs and decided to go to bed early and forgo a late meal, it had nothing to do with the fact that the only thing that Naruto could make was that instant ramen, and he detested it so much, really he just figured he should get a goodnight's rest.
After all he wanted to be at his best, for the genin exam.
(1)-think what the shinigami wear in Bleach
(2)-Kirigakure no Sato is The Hidden Mist Village for anybody that didn't know.
(3)-Touketsu Zetsumei translates into "Frozen Death", now some of you may be wondering how did he get a scarf from Hidden Mist Village if he wouldn't have been able to leave Konoha at such a young age, well to put it simply Anko gave it to me(one of the reason's why he never takes it off.)
So here it is the rewrite to Cold as Ice. Sorry this chapter was so short but I just wanted to set the groundwork for the upcoming chapters, so expect the next one to be longer then this. Also there is going to be no voting for pairing in this story. I have a good idea of what it's going to be, and will probably be a triangle, that's all I'm saying.
So tell me what you think of this version.
See you all next time
