23 Chapter 22

A giant dragon made of ice loomed over the ship ready to crush it. Kekashi was already going through hand seals to counter it while Bastion took it upon himself to get the crew to safety. The others worked to take out the other three ninjas.

"Why aren't you helping them?" Yukie asked.

"Getting the crew to safety is my top priority. Team seven can take care of these clowns." Bastion said and grabbed another member of the crew while Yukie had her arms around his neck. He leapt from the boat just as a black ice dragon split it in two. His knees bent gently as he touched the water. For a second, he was vulnerable and the nin fighting Sakura took the opportunity to attack with a avalanche.

Bastion ran for it picking up speed across the ocean towards land. A boat full of crewmen were attached to his waist by a rope. He picked up speed barely out running the crashing ice. Once the crew and actors were on dry land he turned his attention to the fight. Sasuke used Chidori and failed to pierce his opponent's chest. Kekashi ended the confrontation with a water dragon jutsu and team seven escaped with the crew.

"Those guys had armor that absorbed jutsu." Sasuke said. Kekashi nodded.

"Its more advanced than last time." Kekashi said.

"I told you this was a waste of time. Why did you bother bringing me here?" Yukie said.

"Princess if we can gather the people. They will support your rule. Without you the land of Snow is finished. Your uncle Doto has worked your people to death." Her attendant said.

"Well their armor may be strong, but it doesn't cover all their weaknesses. If we must use Taijutsu to beat them, we will." Kekashi said.

Bastion felt the nature energy around them spreading his mind until he found the chakra armor. The group had separated, to search for them. Bastion nodded his head. "Sasuke they separated, we can probably pick them off." Bastion said.

"I forgot you were a sensor. Alright, Sasuke Bastion will lead you to them, I want you to kill them quietly. If we can halve their number, then we can ambush them with full force later." Kekashi said.

Bastion nodded to Sasuke as they ran out into the snow storm. Bastion tied a rope to Sasuke to keep them together. When they arrived at the small outpost. They found the two-snow ninja out of their armor. The snow storm was picking up and they must have thought themselves safe. Slowly Bastion and Sasuke entered the safe house and closed the door behind them.

The lights went out in the bedroom and they could here the sounds of moaning. After battle adrenaline sex it happened enough during the 3rd shinobi war to have it documented. Sasuke put a hand on the door nob and counted down from three to one.

They burst in Sasuke quickly slit the girl's neck and Bastion clapped his hands over the big guy's ears rattling his brain. Before his opponent could put up a defense, he took out a kunai and slit the man's throat. Taking out a scroll he sealed up the chakra armor. The radio came on.

"Hey there was a sighting of the girl. Report to the northern train station." Just like that, they had their ambush spot.
