Glaciers

Chapter 37

Naruto's eyelids twitched.

"This is one fucking troublesome seal" Naruto cussed, Thorm looked taken back

'Ah.... Sotaru must have really been annoyed. Enough for him to cuss' Thorm smiled as he collected the scattered papers around and began inching away and out of the room.

Naruto almost cracked his skull open to try and solve the damn seal.

"Aha! I got ya! So this goes here and this.... Hmmm" Naruto began writing down the seals, crackling madly

Snowball and the black bunny, whom was yet to be named, looked up from his meal.

What's with that scary look on their owner's face?

Finally finished, Naruto fist pump in the air.

"Take that Orochimaru! Your damn seal has been owned! Oh yes! It was me! I did it, ttebayo!" Naruto exclaimed gleefully.

He quickly tidy it up and sealed it in his wrist for safe keeping. Naruto head to take a bath and freshened up.

Yuki stared at the playing two adorably plump bunnies, black and white. Although the scene was cute, but all Yuki could see are two deliciously roasted bunnies. Yummy.

The said bunnies felt chill on their spine.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Ugh! Right in the middle of my daydream. I wonder who are the fuckers dare disturb me" Yuki gritted her teeth and jump on her feet, creating an axe made of ice and marched at the door, opening it, she looked at the people outside and stared at them blankly.

"Shunshin no Shisui and Kuroi No Sakura Izumi" Yuki raised a brow before the ice axe disappeared.

"May we come in?" Shisui asked politely

Yuki shrugged and opened the door wider and let them in.

"Thorm, go get my brother. Tell him we have visitors" Yuki said, Thorm looked up from tending with his bonsai tree.

Thorm went on a thinking pose, as if trying to remember something before a light bulb seemed to appear about his head and flicked his wrist.

"Oh, Otouto? He already went to 'that' room. He is checking on patient #4's condition before starting on patient #6" Thorm said, Yuki nodded

"Follow me then" Yuki motioned her hand in a 'come with me' motion and she began leading the way

"Ms, please let us say something first" Izumi said, Yuki shot her a look

"Just follow me girl. Questions will be asked by my brother later" Yuki said sternly as she lead them to the basement.

After going through corridors and stopped in front of a white door.

Yuki opened the door and walked inside.

Shisui and Izumi stepped inside and gapped in shock.

"Why is Itachi...... inside an aquarium?" Shisui asked

Indeed. Itachi is inside a cylinder glass that was filled with bluish translucent liquid. He was wearing white hakama pants and his hair was on lose, white tubes are inserted in his body, blackish green liquid exiting on the left and purplish blue liquid entered on the right. Inside the 'aquarium' there were purple oval like bubbles floating about, absorbing the blackish green bubbles, there are are a few red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange flower like herbs on the buttom of the glass tube.

He was unconscious.

Naruto stood in front of the tank, wearing a white lab gown over a white long sleeves blue turtleneck long sleeve, white pants, and black shoes, he was wearing a blue rimmed glasses, in his hands was a clipboard and a pen. Scribbling as he checked on Itachi's vitals.

"Brother, they are here for the patient. The Wuss and the Cry Baby" Yuki crossed her arms.

The two bristled at the nicknames, but they decided to ignore it.

Narutoooked up from his clip oard and raised a brow.

"Oh?" Naruto chuckled as he pushed up his glasses, he gave a knowing smile

"A little early, but you are here nonetheless" Naruto said as he motioned at the glass tube.

"As you can see, he is under my care." Naruto began and glanced at Izumi

"And before you acyseme of kidnapping, he fainted on the road. Despite my warnings, he still worked as a full time ninja and that was is own choice, and that choice of his leads to this. Almost dying with his own stupidity" Naruto said as he looked at Shisui

"He'll be inside the Tube until all of his illness were cured. Do not worry, he will be fine and safe, worry about how you'll pay me" Naruto said, Shisui nodded

"Money is not a problem" Shisui answered, Naruto smirked

He lead them out of the room  and into a room adjacent to Itachi's. Inside was Sasuke inside a barrier. He was in a middle of a sealing array with his arms and feet chained, seals were wrote all over his body. Purple and black chakra were clashing with blue and white on the area where his Curse Mark was. He was sweating buckets and screaming, probably from pain.

"I know. Sasuke is here too. I am removing the Cursed Seal from him, it's still on process as you can see. But it was almost done. It was more difficult because the soul was latching strongly on him. But it will end eventually end. Let us live, our presence is only a hindrance" Naruto said as he lead them out of the room.

"So... Are you really Naruto sama?" Izumi asked out if the blue

Naruto stopped walking and tensed.

Yuki even paused her steps.
