Chapter 120: III Chapter 22 – Another one emerges

Thinking about what was supposed to be happening now, Gene raised her hands and smiled. 

"Let us freeze some corpse's no?" she smiled and the Suna Shinobi looked at her as if she lost a few. "What people do stink once they start to rot and with the temperatures here I'd say they are already starting and destroying evidence." her hands covered in blue chakra she went on to freeze the corpses. Soon, one ice coffin next to another appeared. 
Gene smiled during the work, even tough internally, she felt sicker and sicker with each corpse she froze. 

I really don't like this. 

She was fairly happy the corpses were fresh, ironically, the first flies were already drawing circles above them. Next to her, Shisui crouched down before she could freeze the second body. She looked up to him. 

"These are no Suna Shinobi.", he said, and she raised a questioning eyebrow. "Look, you notice something all Suna have in common despite how different they look, Gene you have gotten it a bit now, and you have been here for two days." 

"What are....", she stopped, looked at a Suna Shinobi and then the person she had just about to freeze. "...the skin, Suna Shinobi are all slightly tanned, no matter how pale skinned. These people are not....Itachi?", she shouted to the back "Are the attackers tanned or not?", she asked. 

Itachi nodded and looked through the bodies. "Pale, they are all pale skinned." he shouted back and they both nodded as he came closer. "They are all pale skinned, not tanned." 

"Then they cannot be Suna Shinobi, then." Gene concluded. "But where could they come from otherwise, what is..." she stopped herself "....the other nations."

"Well, people from other nations would certainly do a lot to prevent our getting allied with Sunagakure or Kirigakure, or even establish anything coming close to trade connections with each other." Itachi said as Gene froze the last Body while looking towards the Kazekage office with a bit of doubt in his stomach. 

I somehow worry a bit for the Kazekage, considering he has to deal with Tsukiko. 

Shrugging her shoulders, she determined that was negligible, the Kazekage was an intelligent person, he would be able to deal with their Team Leader, eventually. 

"So, where is the morgue?" Gene turned around and asked the Suna Shinobi, "Because I absolutely have no intention on carrying corpses through the Village, even if they are frozen into large Ice cubes." she stated and the Suna Shinobi hesitated a bit. Gene clapped her hands and smiled at them. "If you'd please be so kind I already froze them and as you may have noticed my chakra control is not the best, see here I need a while to wrestle it back."

She held up her hand which was glowing in a faint blue sheen as she smiled, in a few seconds the Suna Shinobi had shouldered the Ice coffins and made their way through the village with the Konohan on their heels. They arrived at the hospital and the Suna entered through a side door as a white coated woman already waited for them.

"What is this supposed to be, how am I to perform any kind of identification on them when they are ice cubicles?", she screeched angry and marched towards Gene until she was stopped by Shisui who grabbed her at her coat to stop her. "Are you the bloke who did that?" she growled, and Gene smiled at her. 

"Madame, would you have preferred them surrounded by flies and stinking?" she asked and raised her eyebrow when suddenly an Idea dawned to her, let's do this Tsukiko style, she concluded and smiled even brighter at the woman. "I can unfreeze and refreeze them as you want to no worries, I have enough chakra for a few dozen of times, the intact bodies will certainly also help the preservation of evidence, evidence we will certainly be informed of as soon as it is discovered, no?"

"Are you holding death frozen ice cubicles as a hostage right now." the woman said, and she felt Shisuis and Itachis gaze on her. 

"Indeed I am.", she answered and the Suna were staring at her as if she had completely lost every single one of her brain cells while her teammates behind her were starting to sneeze, trying to suppress laughter. 

They succeeded when Itachi suddenly noted shaking his head. "Another one emerges, Shisui are you certain you want to be her future co-head?"

"Yes, I am.", he answered and pointed at Gene. "I still believe Kakashi has it worse, imagine Tsukiko constantly around you."

"Tsukiko is my commander, I spend three years at the Academy with her." Itachi answered him deadpan, without any emotion in his voice. "During that time I have been cornered, got the living lights beaten out of me by every inch, strategized upon and threatened to be cut off every single one of choice body parts, and she..." Itachi poined at Gene"... is mutating into a second one right now." 

"Gene is not Tsukiko.", Shisui objected, and Itachi let out a shoulder shrug as if he had given up on something.

"But her student." he pointed out before muttering something that sounded like "I am quite happy my finance is not like that."
