Alright, this here is an AU story about a dark and powerful Naruto.

Summary: The old King of Ice and Darkness needs an heir for his Kingdom, but he doesn't deem anyone worth to be his successor. What will he do when his ice mirrors show him the dark and cold live of a small boy? What part will the Ice Kingdoms arch- enemies, the fire Kingdom play? R&R!

Many possibilities for pairings: Naruto x FemHaku x FemKyuubi x FemOC and maybe others like Yugito, Karin, Tayuya, Shizune, etc… Just vote between them, but I will decide, later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any other Anime/Manga/Game series.

Frozen Darkness

Prologue – A new chosen

Fire Country, Konohagakure at October 9.

It has been almost six years now, since the nine tailed demon fox attacked the village. Tomorrow would be the anniversary of its defeat by the hands of the fourth leader of the village, the Yondaime Hokage. The villagers were already preparing for the festival to be held on that day as it came to be tradition over the last five, now almost six years.

The day of the massive Kyuubis attack and later defeat was also the day that Uzumaki Naruto was born, the day he celebrated his birthday. Unlike most people, Naruto celebrated alone, well he tried to be alone. He hid himself and hoped that no one would find him, but Naruto was famous in Konoha, even so famous that many wanted to be part of his birthday. They literally searched for him, even if it meant to break into his home to search for him, even in his old favourite hideout, under his bed.

Why could a six year old be famous you ask? Well…it is a super ultra S-ranked secret that only every single adult in Konoha knows…sooo I can't tell you seeing as it would break the law of the third leader, punished by dead, so please pardon me and let's move on.

Uzumaki Naruto was a six year old boy with blue eyes, blond hair and whisker like marks on his cheeks. He lived alone in his own apartment. He was skinny, had only poor and dirty clothes, he had almost no belongings and he hated many things. He hated the life he lived. He hated the village he lived in. He hated the people that lived in said village. And he hated his most loved person in the whole world, Kushina-san as he called her now. He was smart enough to not show this hate, seeing as how weak he was, being only a child. He hides it very well under his cold and emotionless self.

Kushina was his most loved one, because his happiest moments were with her. The first three years of his life that he had spend with her…oh how he wished it could just be like back then. No worries, no fear…and no pain. He had felt safe, as he still felt safe in the memories of these days and her soft and warm embrace.

But now she was hated by him, because she didn't come back. She didn't come back after three years. It was one of the very few memories he had of her that he wished he would forget. She told him that she was just taking a trip away to have some time for herself, away from the village and would come back very soon. Of course he begged her to let him come along, but she said that he had to be a good boy and stay at home. She promised him that she would come back with a present for him, but only if he was good and did what he was told.

As most kids do, he believed his parent, but he had an awful feeling that something bad was about to happen, and that he wanted to be with his mother if it did occur. But in the end, he stayed silent and smiled at her. She was his mother; she wouldn't do anything that would hurt him, right?

No, she would. He knew better now. All the times when he woke up with mysterious cuts on his chest or arms he would receive guilty glances from her at the breakfast table. Of course back then he just thought he had hit some sharp edges of his bed and desk while sleeping. And he now knew that his nightmare he had of his mother standing over him at night in front of his bed with her eyes closed, sweating and holding a kunai over him clenched in her hand, when she would open her eyes and the realization would dawn upon her face and she would run out of his room, was in fact no dream.

He was only three when she had left him, and no one was there to look after him, no one to cook for him, or to do shopping, to help at all. It was when his house was forcibly sold by the bank when no one made the payments for the montage that he realized that she would not come back again. His mother's bank accounts were also mysteriously empty, leaving him with nothing but a little allowance given by the third village leader, the Sandaime Hokage, to live off.

At first he was counting the hours for his mothers return, then just the days, then just the weeks before he finally stopped knowing it was futile. It was to that time when he found out about the feelings that the people of Konoha held for him, without his mother shielding him it became worse as the days went. Whenever he asked the old Hokage why everyone felt hatred and disgust towards him, he would never get a proper explanation. It would always be something like:

'It's something that you will understand when you're older Naruto.'

'Its not you Naruto, it's just that they can't seem to see what a great child you actually are.'

'They are just hurt Naruto, they lost important people and loved once. They don't know how to live with this pain.'

'It is nothing that you have done. Don't worry; it will get better in the future.'

So after a series of paradoxical and worthless explanations, he gave up on asking the old Hokage for reasons.

All of this had an effect on him. Before hand he was a happy enough child, oblivious to the things around him and had the attention, if lukewarm love, of his mother. After she had left, he was exposed to the world around him, and he finally saw and experienced something no child ever should.

Loneliness. Neglect. Indifference. Fear. Hate. Despair. Hopelessness.

He got a small apartment from the old Sandaime Hokage, after he was told to leave by the orphanage when he was four. He had been living there ever since, and he gained a small measure of independence. But a four year old could hardly be expected to cook for and look after himself, something which even adults have trouble with.

Everyday would follow the same meaningless routine, and every day he would lose a bit more strength, a bit more of his will to go on, hiding all his emotions away beneath a cold emotionless shell, to hide his emotional weakness and to save him from further pain.

Of course all of this went unnoticed among those living in the village hidden in the leaves.

Well now that we know enough of Uzumaki Naruto for the moment, let's check up on him and his faithful night that destiny gave him…

He was currently in his small apartment and lay on his bed with his eyes closed, but he was not asleep. He just lay and dwell in his memories. From the dark corners of his room the black shadows made out of darkness made their way towards his bed. When it reached him he opened his eyes wide, struggling against the cold darkness that was engulfing him, but all just in vain. The boy now fully engulfed, the darkness vanished back into the shadows.

Outside the elemental countries and the world of the humans, but still not so far away from it, were two old and mystical Kingdoms. In the south was the Kingdom of Fire and Light, called Faiya, ruled by King Kōjin. In the north were their arch-enemies, the Kingdom of Ice and Darkness, named Gen'ya, ruled by King Kokuten.

The north Kindom was a colourless place. Everything looked grey or black. It never stopped snowing and the sky was constantly clouded with dark clouds, shadowing and darkening the whole lands. It was inhabited by many strange and different creatures, Humans, Elves, Giants, Dwarfs, Orcs, Trolls, Goblins and many more. All possessing the magical powers of Ice or Darkness in them, whit the strongest powers in the King. These powers were what corrupted the lands and made them look like they did, cold and dark.

The south Kingdom was the completely opposite, bright, shiny and colourful, with his inhabitants possessing the powers over Fire or Light. They also claimed to be the good races and the Ice and Darkness Kingdom to be evil forces, which Kokuten never denied or admitted not caring much in anything but to war his arch-enemies in hopes of weakening them and becoming the supreme rulers one day.

Kōjin and his peoples always claimed to be peaceful and helpful beings, even though fire was a destructive force. They said their powers of light made up for it with the ability to heal greatly, while Kokuten and his people had nothing but destructive powers with their Darkness and Ice and where destroying everything around them.

But in fact with Ice came the powers over water as well, it was not only destructive but could heal greatly too. Both sides knew that they were a balance, the yin to the others yang. They knew they needed each other to exist but neither side would admit it, they constantly tried to weakening their contra part in fear of getting overpowered one day. Both sides good, but both sides evil as well, not just black or just white.

In the middle of Kokutens' Kingdom stood his massive castle where he lived in. Kokuten was very old and needed a successor, unlike Kōjin who was still young and just received his throne from his father some hundred years ago. But to Kokutens misfortune, he had no heir. He and his wife tried to made children for many years, but they had no success and then his beloved wife died because of a powerful illness.

He decided to name a successor outside his family seeing that the only family he had still left were all weak retards. But he could not find anyone worth enough to be his heir, he was extremely picky. The few he did found were too weak to survive his tests or the assassins that Kōjin would send. Kokuten refused to give them protection; he needed someone who was strong and independent. He didn't need him to be all-powerful; no, power could always be obtained or given later on. He wanted someone smart enough to survive; a good leader that could make sure his country would survive.

He thought that he would never find someone and would have to give the throne to the first stupid retard in the few minutes before his death or that one of his relatives would claim the throne after his death, not that he had any close ones left anymore.

He now sat in his throne, once more in thoughts about his problem of finding an heir and hours passed away. He was fully oblivious to the time going on and didn't know how long he was sitting there thinking, when his mirrors suddenly begun to show him what looked like a little nine tailed fox attacking a village full of humans.

"Probably one of Kōjins pets that he sends to burn a village because of lack of worship." He thought grimly, but none then less watched it.

His ice mirror were special, he could watch to everywhere with them, the only limit was if the area was protected with spells and charms against his powers like most of Kōjins Kingdom was. But moments like this when the mirrors would act on their own were rare once, so he paid special attention to what he saw.

He didn't know how long he sat there and watched, the only times he interrupted were when he gave orders to his generals or to his advisors, he even ate in front of it watching with great interest. He saw Kōjins pet being sealed away by a human into his own son. He saw the son growing up with his mother, unaware to most things around him like the hate of half the village or the assassinate attempts upon his live. He watched the mother suffering from mental stress of her husbands dead and her kids' tenant. He watched when she woke up night after night in her kids' room with a weapon in her hand. He watched as she fled the villages out of fear that she would kill her own kid one day, leaving said kid alone with the hatred of a whole village. He watched as the small kid was insulted, spit on, and beat on, as they took everything he had away from him and gave him nothing but abuse, as he was refused everything and as everything was even worse on his birthdays. He watched as he grew cold and emotionless but never cried. He watched as the kid lay on his bed a day before his sixth birthday, planning for said day which he knew his next beating was coming on.

In short, he watched six years of the kids live and how he survived everything, despite his young age and lack of power.

"Bring me this child." he said with a booming voice as he pointed one of his giant fingers to the blond boy on his ice mirrors. His subordinates in the room bowed and immediately rushed out to complete their task.

The old King grinned darkly when he watched as the black darkness engulfed the small boy and disappeared into the shadows. With the boy gone the magic Ice Mirrors stopped working and only reflected the image of the grinning King.

Too be continued
