Jumping down as swift as a trained shinobi assassin, I aimed for his vulnerable bandaged neck.
"This one doesn't have it!" a cocky voice boomed from underneath. I quickly altered my death blow to a tap on the shoulder followed by a retreat flip.
The hunchback Sound-nin attempted to direct his irksome sound waves at me, but this time was faced with much difficulty and confusion.
"I just locked you with my Consecutive Ice Chains. If you don't devote your chakra solely to keeping warm, I'm afraid you'll become a snow man."
At first, he didn't believe me. But when his toes were getting frostbites, he nearly freaked. I've never seen someone's pupil dilate so much, except for that one time when Master and Forehead died.
With my technique rendering him useless, I dragged Hunchback down to the ground where Sasuke was enjoying his time using some new guy as his footstool.
"Should I break his arms?" Uchiha asked with bloodlust emitting from his eyes and tensing muscles.
I couldn't stop him, because I didn't want to. So I simply nodded.
Within seconds, a sharp piercing cry resonated throughout the forest. It was so loud that I didn't find the shoulder dislocating to be disturbing anymore.
"Hold it!" a terrified, nervous, vulnerable, slightly sexy voice commanded.
The owner of the voice received my immediate attention. Sasuke threw his toy away and looked up.
The long-haired Sound kunoichi broke my barrier and was holding a senbon at Naruto's forehead. "If I stab right here, your teammate is going to die on the spot!" she yelled, scared we couldn't hear her.
'Stab it' I wanted to say. 'Do it' Sasuke was itching to holler. Not because we were uncaring. It was simply because we weren't concerned.
First, Old Orange had a skull so thick that you couldn't possible stab through with a thin-ass needle. And second, Pretty over there didn't seem to be a good reader of the situation.
I kneeled down and brushed through a few one-hand signals. I almost didn't want to do it, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to see her cry and beg me to stop. "Ice Dragon Blizzard!"
A dragon, more water than ice, flew up from the destroyed ice dome and clamped its teeth around the girl's waist. It flew up and only clamped down harder when she struggled. She didn't cry so I had the dragon bite down for serious. She cried then. And I smirked.
My water dragon hurled her next to Sasuke's feet. Uchiha wasn't a nice boy today. He picked her up by the hair and yanked her head until she was looking at him, blood still leaking from her mouth.
"Give me your damn scroll."
I crossed my arms in triumph. Yes. Give us the damn scroll.
"Please let her go," Hunchback said. No one paid him a unit of attention. "I have the scroll." Then we looked at him.
"My name is Dosu and he is Zaku. This scroll is yours, but please release Kin." Dosu laid down a "Floor" scroll.
"Why?" Sasuke was being extra naughty today.
"Just let them go," I said casually after confirming that the scroll was real and the one we needed.
Sasuke released Kin-chan and she scrambled back to Hunchback and Broken Arms.
"Thank you, Miss." With that, the Sound team vanished.
"Who the fuck you calling MISS!" [Who the fuck he calling MISS?]
Giggles could be heard coming from the bushes. I threw a few senbon in their direction and the three clowns finally appeared again.
"Ppppffffffff…" Ponytail covered her mouth, trying to suppress what I was certain was a laugh.
"We didn't mean to laugh…pffff…" Pineapple said, hiding a chuckle.
"Miss Girl-face."
Fat Boy blew it. Stupid Uchiha held his stomach as he laughed his ass off. Ponytail snorted like a Pig as Pineapple and Chubs went on a laughing spree, scaring away the wise silence that much suited the Forest of Death. If they had as much energy as they had laughs, they'd probably defeat a tailed beast all on their own.
I surprised Sasuke from the side as I lifted his pouch and dug out the last kunai. With a single flick of the wrist, I chopped off my prized long hair.
That immediately stopped their laughing disease. Mission accomplished.
Ino-Pig (Ponytail was called Ino apparently) had her mouth hanging in shock even when PineMaru was guiding her away. Chip Face was sad since I took his last stash of potato chips in return for letting them go unscathed. And there was Sasuke who really pissed the fuck out of me.
"Why the fuck do you look so dejected?" I barked.
Useless Uchiha didn't respond, but threw sleepy Orange onto his shoulder.
"I'll protect you…Haku-chan…" a blushing Naruto muttered in his sleep.
[The fuck…] I really wanted to stab him with my senbon, if not for the diminishing energy I had left within me.
"We better hurry out of here," Sasuke cautioned as we dashed through the trees.
[No shit.] We really couldn't handle another assault.
Hope you aren't lost with all the nicknames.
Don't worry though, Haku will eventually warm up to them to utilize their real names.
