Glaciers

Chapter 34

Naruto's eyes sparkled when he read the scroll.

"What's with you?" Yuki asked, looking up from her food to find Naruto whom glowing like the sun.

"Well, there is an Auction in Kusagakure 2 weeks from now. The Auction would hold lots of treasures" Naruto replied as he showed the scroll to Yuki

"A bunch of weeds on sale for high price? Are you sure they are not scamming you?" Yuki snorted, Naruto frowned

"It's not 'Weeds'! It's Medical Herbs! And some are even Poisonous Herbs that can only be found in the Summoning Realms or another Neighboring Country outside of the Elemental Nation. It's bound to be pricey as it was very hard to obtain" Naruto said excitedly as he jump on his feet.

"Thorm aniki! Where are you!?" Naruto called as he opened his window.

"Otouto, over here!" Thorm waved from down bellow.

It was not Naruto's fault that he can't spot him among the green fields as Thorm blended in the Nature quite well, not just his hair, but also his chakra signature and presence, being a Plant Spirit.

"Come inside!" Naruto called before he shut the window.

"You, come over here" Naruto pointed at the passing Shadow Clone.

"Yes Boss?" The Shadow Clone walked over upon hearing the Original call for him.

"Go and pack for a month. Aniki and I are going to Kusagakure tomorrow" Naruto commanded, the Shadow Clone nodded before grabbing a few shadow Clones to help him.

"Otouto, I already finished harvesting the herbs. Hmm, they are very plump, green, and healthy" Thorm said as he walked in, his pants and hands were covered in dirt, some had even splattered on his face.

"That is because of your Green Thumb. Had it not been for your miraculous care and presence, entertaining them with your flute, ythey would have been dull and just plain ordinary. Good job, Aniki" Naruto smiled and patted Thorm's shoulder

"Ah, it's nothing really. It's the least I could do for you for taking me in and saving me" Thorm pointed out, Naruto frowned.

'This guy is still on with it. Can't he understand that I am a Doctor and it's my job?' Naruto thought

"Anyways, we are heading tomorrow to Kusagakure, there is an Auction to be held  there 2 weeks from now. Normally, it's quite early for us to go, but I am hoping for us to walk our way there in case I'd run into Sasori" Naruto said, Thorm raised a brow

"Sasori of the Red Sand? Otouto, your obsession with him really scares me sometimes. That puppet man wants to turn you into one of his Human Puppet, you're not a Masochist are you?" Thorm's brows shot to his hair lines.

"Oi! Its not that! Don't diss him! I am just fascinated on how he was still able to operate his body, Puppet Body, with only one organ functioning, his heart!" Naruto pointed out as he began his monologue

"As a Doctor myself that someone manage to catch Orochimaru's illness in answering every questions in the world. I am fascinated with this kind of discovery, I can even classify myself into a scientist minus the Human Live Experiment, sort of as I have my patients are my like my test subject but u did not kill anyone with such experiments so far. And of course, aren't you curious in how he was able to stay alive even if his heart was cut out? No humans could even survive that. So I am determined to find out how he was able to. And no, I am not going for immortality" Naruto pointed out

"Also, he is a Poison Master! His Poisons are very deadly and mostly has no cure, so I want to know what those poisons are and how they are made, the ingredients, and possible way to counter it or antidote." Naruto said before be began ranting again.

Yuki and Thorm sat there in the couch and watched as Naruto ranted and ranted and ranted.

"Sometimes I wonder if he was aware on how he seemed to look like he's insane when he's muttering and monologue before laughing and repeat" Thorm said as they watched Naruto pace back and forth

"That's not our problem now, right? Besides, it's not like were5the ones whom are pointed as insane. Sotaru is no longer a child(refers to his high IQ) anymore, he can deal with things like this" Yuki said as she pushed the dirty plate away before she shifted herself in a more comfortable position.

"So... Should we tell him to stop?" Thorm asked, turning to Yuki and took a glance at Naruto.

"Yeah....." Yuki trailed off before closing her eyes

".... In a minute" Yuki finished, Thorm shrugged as he stood up, heading to his room and to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Uchiha Sasuke has gone Rogue. Uchiha Itachi, go and retrieve him back" Minato said seriously, Itachi bowed deeoly

"Hai Hokage sama" Itachi body flickered away before he head to pack his weapons.

'Otouto, what the hell are you doing!?' Itachi gritted his teeth as he adjust his invisible to everyone glasses.
