This, my friends, is an edited version of the older Frozen Insanity I wrote.

Chapter 1, Beginning of the Frost

(Konoha, Nine years after the Kyuubi attack)

A small boy rocked back and forth on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest. He's wearing a black hoodie and dark grey sweatpants. His shoes were more like soft leather boots than shinobi sandals. They too were black. The hood was pulled over his head, but white locks of hair with ice blue tips were visible. The visible part of the boy's face was a very pale color, his eyes an ice blue, cold towards everything. From his nose and downwards, he has a black face-mask. The boy's hands were covered by black gloves with a silver plate atop the hand.

They tortured him. They made him what he was. They told him he was a monster, demon, devil, and destroyer. He had memories from when he was born, looking at his infant self from high above. His claws slashing about, slicing through entire buildings and people, stabbing into people. His tails thrashing about, destroying the nearby forest and buildings, and occasionally killing somebody. His large fury hands would reach down, pick somebody up, and then pop them into his mouth while he bit down on their mid-section with his giant teeth.

They kept him from sleeping. If he slept, they would drag him into their cage and torture him.

The boy stopped rocking back and forth, leaned forwards, and grabbed a book, flipping it open. The title read: 'Advanced chakra natures and Kekkei genkai'

The room was actually fairly large. In the corner, a neat bed lay, not even a crinkle in its sheets. The sheets were a plain grey. The only window in the room is covered by a black curtain, sewed shut and nailed to the edges of the window on the wall. Bookshelves made up the areas near the walls, stacked full of books of all shapes and sizes. The books seemed to be sorted by what they are used for. The middle of the room only had a black mat over the light grey carpet. The room was spotless, yet filled with a sense of perfection, depression, fear, and sorrow. The entire place smelled of cleaning supplies. One would crinkle their nose as it stung from how heavy the scent fell across the apartment.

The door of the room is a door painted as dark grey with a silver handle to it. A knock came from the door.

The boy ignored it, hoping that the man would go away.

"Naruto-kun, open the door please." An old man's voice spoke from the other side of the door. The boy glanced up at the door, which was held shut by the large amount of locks and padlocks. There were even a few black metal bolts holding the door shut.

The boy, now identified as Naruto, thought about it. If he didn't open the door, the man on the other side might break it open, and likely hurt Naruto. They would punish him if he got hurt by another person. However, Naruto didn't get up to open the door. Once again, he wished the man would leave.

This, however, didn't go as he wanted. The man suddenly appeared in a blur, right in-front of the door.

He was an old brown-haired man. The man has white robes and a white hat with the kanji for 'fire' on it.

Naruto smoothed down his hood and kept reading, trying his best to ignore the man. The man, however, sighed and walked towards Naruto. Stooping down a little, the man read the title on the page.

"Ice release, hm?"

Naruto paused reading and cupped his hands together. A dark grey mist hovered around Naruto's hands as something rose from his palms. The object was dark grey in color. It reflected the slight amount of light in the room off of it, showing its smooth surface, all the while freezing the air around it.

The old man stared at the boy with wide eyes.

"That is amazing, Naruto-kun."

Naruto nodded slightly. The object in Naruto's hands slowly sunk back into Naruto's palms, as if it never existed in the first place. Naruto smoothed down his hood and continued reading, trying to ignore the man in the room.

The man nodded, seemingly satisfied. He walked over to the window and looked in-between a gap in the middle of the black curtain and the wall. Small amounts of light broke through. However, the light was dimmed greatly. The grey-tinted windows let less light pass through than a normal window would. Sighing, the old man turned back to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, you should go to the academy. Maybe make some friends. It isn't healthy to stay in here all the time." The old man said, and then vanished via Shunshin. Naruto closed his book gently. Getting up, he set the book down and walked to the door. Quickly, he unlocked the door as if he had done it a thousand times. He walked through the rest of the apartment towards the exit. Along the way, he passed his bathroom, washing room, kitchen, living room, and dining room. Each room had white tiled floors, white walls, and black counters or black leather furniture. Once again, the air was thick and heavy with the scent of detergent. The scent alone was enough to give anybody a headache. Not that Naruto didn't already have one, anyways.

The apartment itself could make anybody feel as if they were intruding upon absolute perfection. The entire apartment was spotless. Arriving at the door, Naruto once again started unlocking it. This door, just like the one to his room, was littered with locks of all kinds. Padlocks, deadbolts, a cam lock, rim latch locks, and various other types of locks scattered all over the door around the edges.

Naruto slinked his way to the academy in the early morning light. He knew he had to get to the academy, otherwise the old man would appear once more to torment him. They murmured in agreement, urging him to go.

Arriving at the academy was less than pleasant for Naruto. Other children kept away from him, the scent of cleaning detergent getting stronger the closer you got to him, the scent strong enough to make their eyes watery and noses sting.

Walking up to the desk at the front of the academy, Naruto quickly, and quietly, pulled some papers from his hoodie and set them on the desk. The woman behind the desk eyed him slowly before taking the papers. A few moments passed before she stood up and walked out from behind the desk, beckoning Naruto to follow.

Following the woman, Naruto took note of his surroundings. They passed several doors as they walked down a long hallway, the sound of children chattering in some or a teacher lecturing his class in others. Finally, the woman stopped next to a door. She opened it and ushered him inside.

There were many other children. Oh, how he hated this already. Children were loud, annoying, and unclean. Three things that Naruto hated with a passion. Standing at the front of the room, however, was a young adult with a scar across the bridge of his nose. Perhaps this person was the teacher.

"Iruka, this is your new student." The woman behind Naruto had a low voice, oozing with irritation and sleep deprivation. She turned and slammed the door on the way out. Iruka nodded, picking up a clipboard on his desk. Scanning through it, Naruto noticed him pause at several instances.

Looking up, Iruka gave a fake smile to Naruto, hiding his grimace underneath. He couldn't hide it from Naruto. Naruto would always be able to see the disgust and hatred others felt towards him, no matter how hard they tried to hide it.

"Alright class be nice. This here is your new… classmate. His name is Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka said, quieting the whole class. They noticed a young boy, somewhere around their age, standing next to Iruka. They couldn't even see his face. The hood covered a lot, excluding the few locks of white and ice-blue hair they saw. What the hood couldn't cover, the facemask the boy wore covered.

Instead of introducing himself, Naruto smoothed down his hood and stared at the ground. This surprised many in the class. Who was this new child, thinking that he could ignore their sensei as he pleased?

Just as Iruka opened his mouth to speak, Naruto spoke.

"I am Naruto… I like nothing. I dislike…" Naruto stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Uncleanliness, noise, and everything else…"

His voice was cracked, revealing that it had seen little use.

Iruka nodded dumbly. "That's… great, Naruto. You may go find an empty seat and sit down."

Naruto smoothed his hood down once more and walked down the middle of the room, up the stairs, until he stopped at the middle row. As he passed by, the other children leaned away from him, the scent of cleaning detergent lathered all over Naruto made their eyes watery and noses sting. Naruto walked to the window, having found an empty chair, and sat down. He smoothed his hood down as Iruka started talking once more.

An hour passed by. Naruto hadn't really showed that he payed any attention to Iruka's lecture to the class. As if to test him, Naruto lifted his head slightly as Iruka barked out his name.

"Would you be so kind as to explain what chakra is?" Iruka said, his voice hiding his anger. Iruka hoped to catch the boy in a tight spot for not paying attention to the lecture. Instead, he was surprised at the response given to him.

Naruto smoothed his hood down again and started speaking.

"Chakra… chakra is made of physical and spiritual energy combined, otherwise known as yin and yang. It… it can be used to speed up the process at which something heals or to perform jutsu. In addition-" Naruto was cut off when Iruka held up his hand.

"That's good enough Naruto." Iruka said, still surprised from the textbook-like answer he received.

"Well then… let's head outside. We're going to spar, so I can see how well each of you do in taijutsu." Nearly everybody groaned. Naruto shrunk further into his seat. The class stood up from their seats and walked single file out of the room. Naruto hesitantly got up, and ended up being the last person in line. Iruka led the front of the group, leading them through hallway after hallway.

Finally, the group walked through an exit into a clearing behind the academy. The clearing had a fairly large pond off to the right, training posts off to the left, and a thin strip of track surrounding the whole thing. Iruka turned and stopped, and everybody also came to a stop, starting to form a small crowd.

"Remember the rules. Disobey them, and I will personally make sure you cannot use the shinobi arts, ever. Am I clear?" Iruka said in a warning tone. The class murmured in agreement while Naruto smoothed down his hood again, noting that nobody stood within a five-meter radius around him.

"Alright. When I call your name, please come over to me."

At that, the students were called up in pairs, and fought each-other. A couple of civilians thought the rules didn't apply to them for whatever reason, and were sent back home.

An hour into this, only four people hadn't sparred yet.

"Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke! Come up." Iruka said. Naruto saw a boy with black hair walk up to Iruka. Slowly, Naruto also walked to Iruka. The two boys faced each other from four meters away.

Iruka looked between the two boys. Nodding his head, he shouted. "Begin!"

With that, Sasuke rushed at Naruto, opting to go for a basic punch. Naruto moved his head to the side, letting the fist fly by harmlessly. Then, Naruto dropped to the ground, swinging his leg around in a full circle, knocking Sasuke off his feet. Naruto then did a backwards summersault away, sliding back into his fighting stance.

Sasuke stood up, brushing dirt off of him as he glared at Naruto, and charged once more. Right before Sasuke could get close enough to attack, Naruto slid right in-front of Sasuke and kicked him… in the chin. The kick launched Sasuke backwards, making him land with a heavy "thud" noise on the dirt. Iruka looked and saw Naruto, still frozen in place, with his foot all the way up in the air, making it look like he was doing the splits… vertically.

Growling, Sasuke got back up and charged once more. This time, right as he got close enough, Sasuke ducked to the right just as Naruto's foot came down in an axe kick, swiping through empty air. Taking advantage of the opening given to him, Sasuke punched Naruto in the arm and then kicked him in the stomach, sending Naruto back a meter or two.

Naruto stood and dropped into his stance once more, waiting for Sasuke to come to him.

He didn't have to wait long. Sasuke charged in once again but opted to duck to the left this time. However, Naruto was ready. Instead of being able to follow up with his punch and then kick to the stomach combo, Sasuke received a chop to the throat. Following his attack up, Naruto spun around whilst lifting his foot, only to perform an axe kick on Sasuke's shoulder. The attack thrust Sasuke onto the ground, so that he was sprawled out and dazed.

No matter how hard he tried, however, Sasuke just couldn't get up.

Naruto stared at Sasuke as he smoothed down his hood once more. They wanted him to take advantage of the situation and kill the child before Naruto. A wave of pain rushed to his head as he held Them off. Iruka walked forwards and helped Sasuke up, who was still glaring at Naruto. Not that Naruto noticed anyways.

"Uzumaki Naruto is the winner."

And thus, the rest of his time at the academy began.

Hello. As I mentioned in my profile, I am going through and re-writing Frozen Insanity. I made many mistakes, all of which I will do my best to fix.

Cya.
