Glaciers

Volume 2! Chapter 3

Three blurs could be seen in a naked eye that swiftly leap from tree to tree. Their movements were fast, agile, and silent.

Those three blurs were none other than Sasuke, Naruto, and Thorm.

Sasuke was pretty annoyed with the extra light bulb Naruto insisted that they should brought with them.

(A/N: Lightbulb= third wheel)

"Sasuke, stop spacing out and focus" Naruto scolded Sasuke as they took a short break.

Wearing White Cloaks and black mask that only covers the forehead, eyes and top of he nose, the three had wore the same clothing, black yukata and black bants accompanied with black Shinobi sandals.

"Thorm, check our status how close are we?" Naruto ordered, Thorm nodded and leap away

Thorm is best in Reconisance Mission. His ability to talk to animals and nature is pretty damn useful. Although, under Naruto's training, Thorm dislikes fighting and violence the most. He deemed it unnecessary and could not understand why its everyone's pass time. Naruto had taken it upon himself to explain that in order to not be stepped on, one must be on the top.

Thorm, that little cinnamon bun, refuses to have any part in fighting. He rather save than fight thank you very much.

"Why are we even doing this? Aren't Aoi sama sent a few of the Ninjas we have in Pleasure Village?" Sasuke said, with a hint of disdain.

"Don't be like that, Sasuke. I have already told you my reasons. I want to grab at least a few of Sasori's poison and experience myself what the Akatsuki ability is like. The failed Infiltration attempt by the I mortal Duo, Kakuzu and Hidan, was not at all very helpful. Just as the saying goes, 'Better see it to believe it'" Naruto said before he turned to Sasuke

"I don't get why you are opposed to this mission. I am aware that you and Gaara do not get along but let us be professionals. I don't care what kind of disputes you guys have and I don't want to hear or find out about it. Put that personal matters away, we're in a mission. If you failed to do so then you are welcome to go back." Naruto said sternly

"Of course. Once we get there, don't touch him" Sasuke said

"You rascal! Of course I am touching him! I am a Doctor, did you forget that part?" I Naruto frowned

'This unreasonable brat(╬ಠ益ಠ). What' Not touching him'!? How could a doctor treat a patient without touching them? What kind of logic is that hey!!' Naruto thought, agitated.

"I'm a Doctor as well" Sasuke said, Naruto looked at him in annoyance

Before Naruto could start talking, Thorm but in.

"We're almost there, there is a sound of fighting not far from here. Let's stir clear, those guys are Konoha Ninjas and I believe that two are Jinchuurikis as well. We'll get dragged in the muddy waters if we stood by the side of Konoha. The Akatsuki might mistaken us as Allies, it would be a bad thing for Pleasure Village" Thorm said, Naruto nodded

"Okay, let's head out" Naruto nodded and let Thorm lead the way.

"Change of plan. We seemed to trigger something. Two enemies ahead!" Thorm gave caution, alarming the two

"What?" Naruto frowned before he signalled Sasuke who immediately understood.

Naruto leap sideways and unto Sasuke who had carefully guide him as Naruto began leaping backward. Sasuke was the one who stir him clear from obstacles while Naruto examined the thing they triggered.

"It's a well hidden Clone Storage Seal. The Genjutsu was well placed on it. Though we are lucky to trigger only two. Thorm, it seemed you are lucky to not fight." Naruto joked before he spun and leap next to Sasuke.

"Ahahaha, I prefer to be a Permanent Medic, Otouto. You guys do the fighting" Thorm said with a hint of amusement.

"Hmmm" Naruto only chuckled

"Two Enemies, 12 o'clock! Distance 10 meters!" Thorm yelled before jumping to safety.

The two were high alert after hearing the warning.

"Watch out!", Naruto pushed Sasuke off the branch, the branch they were about to step into turned to ash.

The two tumbled before landed on the ground by the clearing, they stood back to back, high alert.

"I bet a random thing that you want Sasuke, our opponent would be a a talkative idiot" Naruto suddenly said when the enemy did not come out

The words were provoking, to irritate and insult their attacker and forced out of hiding.

"I bet whatever you want that the Attacker was a silent type" Sasuke said, Naruto paused

Before they leaped away from one another to avoid the blood of green acid.

"......" a man with greyish blue hair and green eyes wearing Akatsuki cloak step out from the shadows, behind him was Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Ah, two little kids came to challange us" Kisame grinned a toothy grin.

"Enough talking. Let's finish them quick" his partner, Naruto recognised him as Tanaka Ryuusuke, the Infamous Melting Hand.

"This just got alot complicated" Naruto murmured and stomped on the ground, a thick wall of ice appeared to block the acid rain.

"I was wrong. Seems you win the bet Sasuke" Naruto smiled wearily

"Who is this guy?" Sasuke asked cautiously.

"Tanaka Ryuusuke, the Melting Hand. Not because of his Acid Bloodline but he has the ability to melt your Chakra Coil System. Sasuke, be careful" Naruto said with a frown

"We must have stepped into some dogshit on the way here to encounter this two monsters" Thorm from the side murmured

(A/N: Dogshit= Bad luck)
