Prologue
'Tch! Life sucks! Hokage giving team 7 missions with team 10 and team 8! On top of that, I'm their team leader?
Sasuke, with an irritated look as usual, strode up the mountain with 8 others, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
Four times he had to turn his head around to stop Sakura and Ino shouting at each other, sick of hearing their complaints, annoyed by Shikamaru not attempting to help out since he was too lazy to, and Chouji just continuously eating.
To make situations worse than it already sounds, they were trudging up snow mountains, knee deep, to travel up to the land of ice which was over these mountains.
As for Naruto, he was way ahead of everybody with the amazing stamina of his, so his usual loudness wasn't there beside Sasuke to piss him off the edge of a cliff. Right beside Naruto was the next barking dog, Kiba who unusually didn't say a word and let his dog, Akamaru, run ahead for any news before them.
The none-speakable Hinata and Shino just followed mutely behind Sasuke without complaint.
"It's soooo cold~!!" Ino wailed, giving a big shiver," and we're going too fast. I can't take it! Let's take a break, Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke turned around and glared at the frozen blue eyes of Ino's, who looked like a pathetic little kitten, trembling head to toe, identically Sakura beside her with intent in her emerald eyes that seemed to hold the same suggestion as Ino's.
"We're not even half way," Sasuke said exasperated, " if we don't keep moving, we won't reach there before night fall."
"But-"
"If you think you can't take this, go back. I don't mind," Sasuke repeated these words which seemed to him like the thousandth time and faced his back, coldly on the girls, who, Sasuke knew, wouldn't give up leaving.
'Such stubbornness! They shouldn't have even come in the first place!'
The snow started to fall heavier in a 45°angle as the sky became darker as if warning the team to go no further. The weather was starting to turn into a dangerous blizzard, telling them to retreat back to Konoha, which even the great Uchiha was starting to have difficulties in seeing where he was going and tramping hard on the deep snow that already came up past his knees.
"Akamaru says the weather conditions are gonna get worse. We should find a cave or something and stay put till the blizzard calms down," Kiba translated his dog's words who was whining lowly, shivering inside Kiba's jacket like a baby kangaroo in its mother's pouch.
"We don't have time," Sasuke demanded.
"There is no option, Sasuke," Kiba argued to which Sasuke glared, before nodding.

They all started heading towards an ice cave on the mountain side near the top which Naruto found with a large shout of excitement like a toddler, moments ago.
They were almost there when and air splitting scream was heard from behind.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ryui: As you can see, Sasuke's being a real prat. This story is mainly based on his attitude. I've already finished writing this one so it should only last for nine chapters or so. This prologue was short, but the chapters will be a bit longer.
