The second installment in my In the Snowfields series, this time featuring some babies! Naruto and Sasuke live with the hate of the whole village between them, and it affects their every day life. Good thing big brother Kashi is here to save the day, even if he's a little late!
just trying to let people know where I'm at with Naruto fic~
I'm going to be going back and editing Into the Snowfields verse, because there's just a lot I don't like. Expect some big changes, better grammar, better flow, etc!
I have a new fic for that verse in the works that is the best yet, featuring Kushina and Minato as young genin celebrating Kushina's birthday, and becoming closer to each other than ever before after their visit to the island of Uzushio!
Be warned, there is some canon typical eye snatching. Not as graphic as in the actual show, don't worry. Not even close lol.
Snippet below, tw for mild gore.
She screamed and screamed, releasing her chakra in thick blasts as hard as she could, but the fingers continued to dig and scrape- yet still, even when Kushina felt a strange emptiness in the place her eyes were supposed to be, she did not let Kurama loose.
Not until she heard Minato howl in pain.
This is about as graphic as it gets, promise.
I won't be linking the ao3 series just for the sake of allowing me time to edit, but please give it a read once I release!
I have more info for the Naruto Fix-It(i need a better title) thing I’m kinda working on. This part is mainly how Akiara, Akuma and the Creatures look. And how the marks they give their human counterparts look and little bit of detail on how they act and effect the user. It’ll be under the cut again.
To the first post about this: What this whole thing is.
Akiara and Akuma’s Appearances:
Akiara has a red, garnet colored hair. It’s the normal, short spiky hair that just about every Shounen main character has, except he has some hair that is long on the front left part of his head. The bottom part of this piece of hair has two red, evil-eye styled beads on either side of a small blue bell. The bell is a ward that Akiara created to warn him of his brother being near by.
His eyes are a fuchsia pink with small black pupils. When he’s sharing information and memories with the Creatures, the pupils expand to where the iris is almost gone.
Akiara’s shoes are black ninja’s shoes that go up to his knees. He has the mesh armor under them and under a pair of mahogany red shorts. He has a black shirt that connects to his hands. The left one covers his thumb, index and middle finger. The right hand has an open palm, but it’s connected to his middle finger. The shirt is armor as well. He has a short sleeved gray hoodie over top of the shirt. He has no village headband.
The scar that Akuma gave to him on the left side of his face is more towards his ear and goes down to his neck, shoulder and his shoulder blade. He has marks given to him by the Creatures(just like the human counterparts). He and Akuma both have all of their marks. Akiara’s marks only appear when he is fighting and specific ones for what he’s doing. When all appear, it’s dangerous. Three of the marks are damaged because of the scar left by Akuma.
Akuma has longer, messy prussian blue hair. The length is at odd levels because of fighting and it only gets cut during that time if someone manages too. But the average length is to the middle of his back. It’s messy and derange from Akuma’s lack of care. He has a scar on the right side of his head, near his eye, from where Akiara hit him when they first fought.
His eyes are a jungle green. His pupils are almost always expanded like Akiara’s does when he’s with the Creatures. They shrink when he’s exhausted or when he sees/fights Akiara.
Akuma is always barefoot because of his lack of care. He currently has a torn up, iron colored Samue. He and Akiara originally had matching Samue when they started documenting life, but Akiara changed with the time. Akuma still wears them. If his Samue becomes destroyed, he’ll kill someone for theirs(wanting to keep things like they used to).
Akuma’s marks from the Creatures are always out because of his lack of control. The only time they fade away, is when he sleeps for long periods or he’s exhausted.
The Creature’s Appearances:
The Land of Fire’s Creature looks like a giant deer. They’re partially see through on part of their face, front left leg, back right leg and part of their torso. Their antlers are willow trees. The see through parts of their body look like pools of clear water and have small flowers in them. Also crossing the parts are branches that act like veins that have flowers on them as well.
The mark that is left on Shikamaru(as well on Akiara and Akuma) are deer antlers that start off with just the end points(or tines. I couldn’t find the real term). Then as the power being used becomes more powerful, and more dangerous, more points appear. The maximum is five on each antler. The mark is placed on the forehead, towards the center. When all ten points appear, intense pain in the head starts and the user begins to lose their site. The loss of sight can be fixed with medical ninjutsu, but the pain in the head stays.
The Land of Wind’s Creature looks like a giant sea turtle. The carapace is a dark brown and gray while the plastron is is all brown. Their limbs and head are a light brown to match the sand. The colors have been distorted by the sun and lack of water. Their eyes are whited over from being blind, so they use vibrations to see in the sand.
The mark that is left on Choji(as well on Akiara and Akuma) are the patterns of the turtle’s skin(the hexagon-ish looking pattern). The pattern is placed on the tops of the hands. It starts as one singular hexagon, then slowly grows to more and up the arms, the more powerful and dangerous the power gets. When it gets to the elbow, it’s when the power is at it’s most disastrous. The bones in their body start to crystallize. Medical ninjutsu can help reverse this, but it takes time.
The Land of Lightning’s Creature looks like a giant tiger. His stripes are the shape of lightning bolts. Not cartoonish looking bolts, but actual ones that splitter off in multiple directions. His eyes glow with electricity when he’s causing storms, but are orange regularly. The white part of his coat have electricity running through it.
The mark that is left on Naruto(as well as on Akiara and Akuma) is a tiger paw print. The paw print is on the left shoulder. It starts as a simple paw print, but the more the power is used, claws start to appear along with the paw. When all the claws are present, it starts to claw into the skin. It’ll continue through to the chest if the power keeps being used. As long as they can withstand the pain, they can use it as much as they want. Organs in the way will be damaged, but can recover with medical ninjutsu.
The Land of Sound’s Creature looks like a giant glasswing butteryfly. The glasswing part of their wings are see through until they start to move, then they glow with energy that is multi colored. The head, thorax and abdomen are a purple similar to the color Orochimaru used a lot. They used it because of the Creature.
The mark that is left on Shino(as well as Akiara and Akuma) are butterfly wings. The wings take up most of the back and are just like the glasswings. When the power is being used, the wings start to fill in with color. There are fourteen scales in the wings, seven on each side. Each side fills at the same time, when all scales are filled, it is in the color scale of a glass prism rainbow. When that happens, life starts to drain out of them and plant and animal life starts to flourish around them. It reverses when the power stops being used.
The Land of Earth’s Creature looks like a giant gorilla. The Creature’s forearms are covered in stone. The type of stone or rock changes based on what she touches. It’ll immediately replace what was there before, which is good if it’s damaged. Her color also changes based on the color of the stone or rock armor on her forearms.
The mark that is left on Sakura(as well as Akiara and Akuma) is the shape of a gorilla bite on the forearms. The color of the bite intensifies the more powerful and dangerous the power becomes. It’s starts of white and glowing(as they all do) and it’ll slowly become, yellow, then green, then purple, then black, the coloring of a healing bruise in reverse. When it becomes red, it starts bleeding and becoming painful. If the power keeps being used, the forearms will shatter. It can be fixed with medical ninjutsu, but it takes time.
The Land of Iron’s Creature looks like a giant lion. His fur is completely white with the pads of his feet being gray. Parts of his mane has ice mixed into the fur. His back half of his body is made of ice except his paws and the end of his tail. His eyes are completely blue(his sight is fine). On his chest is a baby blue, six pronged designs of a snowflake.
The mark that is left on Sasuke(as well as Akiara and Akuma) is a lion paw print. The paw print is on the right shoulder. It follows the same path as the Land of Lightning’s Creature, except the the clawing doesn’t go through to the chest. Ice starts to go through to body to the chest and can spread everywhere else. Heat and fire can’t slow the process and the only way to fix it is to stop using the power, then the ice will slowly retreat and it’s a painful procedure. While body parts are ice, they can shatter. If they can withstand the pain and don’t shatter, they can continue using the power.
The Land of Snow’s Creature looks like a giant polar bear. It’s fur is all white and it’s paws are black, like a regular polar bear. At the center of it’s chest though, is a red and orange glow from the fire and heat in it’s core. Steam comes off it’s paw prints on the ground and out of it’s mouth when it breathes. If it were to yawn, you could see molten lava down it’s throat.
The mark that is left on Kiba(as well as Akiara and Akuma) is on the palms of the hands and bottom of the feet. It covers the entirety of each. It starts off glowing and white, but slowly turns a deep black when the power is being used. If it gets to that point, the user starts to burn from the inside out, starting at the heart. Stopping the power stops the burning, but the damage remains unless medical ninjutsu is used.
The Land of Water’s Creature looks like an even bigger sea serpent. Her color changes based on the water she is in, to blend in. Tendrils sprout off of her body all over as well as six large fins with three each being on either side of her body. Her eyes are red and shouldn’t be looked into because they are the reason many in the Land of Water become violent with rage, which is the Creature’s intent.
The mark that is left on Ino(as well as Akiara and Akuma) are tendrils wrapping down each appendage and the neck. The power should be used until the tendrils start to tighten. When they tighten on the legs, they move slower. When they tighten on the arms, jutsus don’t work correctly. Tightening around the neck can lead to strangulation and even beheading. Stopping the power will make the tendrils release. Bruises will remain and heal, but there is no lasting damage.
Amegakure’s Creature looks like a giant cat. The Creature is a royal purple all over. Their eyes are a mauve purple, except the third eye on it’s forehead. The third eye is solid white. If the third eye closes, their fur turns white instead and will glow insanely bright.
The mark that is left on Hinata(as well as Akiara and Akuma) is a third eye on the forehead. It starts off closed, but will slowly open as the power is being used. If it fully opens, the user loses complete normal sight and would only be able to see through the third eye. Hinata’s byakugan would still work. There’s no way to fix the sight after it’s gone. An upside though is before the eye is open, vision starts to blur and darken as a warning.
Takigakure’s Creature looks like a giant anaconda. The color and texture of the Creature changes with the part of the tree they’re on. They often act like a branch, so they become wooden and the color of the wood. Their venom changes the color of the tree, making it impossible to stay the same color for long. The only consistent color is their lime green eyes.
The mark that is left on Sai(as well as Akiara and Akuma) is the pattern of snake skin. The pattern starts on the waist and moves up the chest(and back) and up to the neck. When the pattern reaches the neck, venom starts to infect the user. It makes them both stronger and full of powerful chakra(energy), but it also rots the body wherever damage is taken. The toxicity of the venom causes blurred vision and vomiting. This counts as damage and will rot the eyes and stomach, but at a much slower rate than physical damage by someone else. Medical ninjutsu can cure the venom and the rotting, though when curing the rotting, the body has to regrow the flesh and muscle(possibly bone) which is very painful.
Yugakure’s Creature looks like a giant poison dart frog. Currently, they are a pink and white color for the hot springs that they live in. Like real poison dart frogs, the more conspicuous the colors the less poisonous they are. During the Chinoike Clan’s existence and Yugakure’s military time, they were a dark brown and red. They couldn’t change their eye color over time like their skin, so they are still the same as Chinoike Clan had.
The mark that is left on Yamato(as well as Akiara and Akuma) are sideways frog pupil shaped marks that are under the eyes. The more the power is used, the closer the marks get to the actual eyes. Once it’s in the eyes, poison starts to replace the blood in the person starting from the eyes. The poison is painful and searing as if goes through the veins. Stopping the power will stop the creation of the poison, but the poison that’s already taken bloods place will stay unless removed. When it’s removed, blood transfusion will be needed.
More Information:
The marks are given to each person by the Creature in their own way. All marks start off glowing white and will fade away if the power given to them is not being used. The power and mark is harmless if the power isn’t used, but that’s why they were given it. The Creatures know that humans can’t resist power, even if it’s for a seemingly good purpose. And that’s also why all the powers are a double edged sword, because pain will cause pain.
The Creatures give the powers to who they give them to for a reason(which I’ll talk about in another thing) but they trust these ones because they’ve seen the good they’ve done. Or tried to do. And they know these humans understand that pain causes pain. They trust them not to abuse the powers given to them, but humans are still humans so, the double edge remains.
