NOTE: Okay, first things first. For NCIS: Kate was never killed, but the director thought that Gibbs needed another person in his team. So Ziva was put on his team. For NARUTO: The Uchiha massacre never happened, but Itachi did go away for about five years spying for Konoha inside the Akatsuki. Everything that had to do with Sasuke leaving Konoha hadn't happened, except for the amount of powers he gained and he is now a chunin. Kakashi is hokage and Naruto is a chunin. Naruto and the Konoha nine are about 16. Neji and his team are 17. Itachi is 26, and pretty much, everyone is at their shipuuden ages.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto (the person or the series) or NCIS.
A thump on the door stirs him. Ignoring it, he rolls onto his side and falls back asleep for another three hours. Nevertheless, his eyes shoot open as he hears a blood-curdling shriek. He pushes himself out of bed and looks at the calendar in front of him. Wednesday. The day Ichiraku Ramen always delivers him food at nine o'clock in the morning. He looks to his right, there lies his alarm clock. It says 9:02.
He sighs as he slowly makes his way towards the door. He opens it; eyes closed, hand scratching his head in the process and says, "Hold on, Ayame, I'm coming…sheesh…"
He looks out to the scene before him, blood spattered everywhere, a passed out Ayame lying on the ground, but worst of it all, his ramen is spilled out everywhere on the ground. Oh! And there's a dead person hanging from the ceiling by the rope tied loosely around their neck.
'Huh…I don't remember putting that there,' a still half-asleep Naruto thinks as he picks up a scroll. He writes down a description of the scene and holds the scroll at arms' length. He sighs at his sloppy hand writing before rolling it up and giving it to a bird to send to the head of the Anbu department. That very same man is also the head of a well known Uchiha family. Fuguku Uchiha.
Naruto walks out of his house to see if he can wake up the very unconscious Ayame. He tries for about twelve minutes before giving up to hunger. He looks down at his ramen and sighs, thinking, 'Well, guess I can't eat that, even if it weren't soaking into the stairs' wooden floors. It's part of the crime scene.' Another sigh escapes his mouth.
These killings have not been uncommon in Konoha now. The Anbu have most of their forces trying to find this murderer, but to no avail. They still go to every new scene in case the killer had left any extra clues this time, but sadly, he has been extremely careful not to get caught.
But, Naruto did notice something different about this killing and the others, this man had probably never stepped foot in Konoha before in his life. Naruto had seen the other victims at least once in his life, but this person he has no memory of.
He looks to his right as he hears some footsteps. Fuguku and two other Anbu are standing on the staircase, already assessing the scene. Fuguku's eyes meet Naruto's, only for a second, because he looks down at his notepad and clears his throat. "Now, did the ramen delivery girl arrive before or after the killing?"
Naruto planned on answering something along the lines of, 'I don't know, after? Why don't you ask her…or the dead body,' but he decides against it once he sees Fuguku's glare. Suddenly, he remembers the thump he had heard in the night and says, "Well, after…I think…" Fuguku raises an eyebrow at this. Naruto knows that he hates uncertainty when it comes to crime scenes. "Um…well, it's just that in the night I heard something outside, but I didn't go check, and I think it might have been the killer putting the body there…or the body putting himself there."
Even though all of the killings were people hanging, they could not rule out suicide as an option.
Fuguku looks down, not responding.
"Well, that's good to know," a person who Naruto has also never seen before says as he walks up with a group of four guys and two girls behind him. The man looks at the people behind him and waits. "Well?" The people look at each other, not knowing what the man wants. "Get to work!"
One of the guys says, "Yes, boss…sorry, boss."
They each take a step before Fuguku speaks up, "May I ask who you are?" He obviously is trying to keep his cool.
"Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, NCIS."
"NCIS? Never heard of you…and why are you here in Konoha? We Anbu can take care of everything here."
"Well, first of all, I have never heard of an Anbu before…and second, I'm here with my team to investigate the murder of a marine." Gibbs stares at the unfazed man and thinks, 'That normally gets the FBI out of the picture. Why isn't it working on him?'
"So?"
Gibbs turns towards his team and sighs. Naruto thinks, 'This is not gonna be pretty.'
"Father," a newly-arrived-on-the-scene Sasuke says, causing everyone to look at him.
"Hn?"
"Just give this one to them."
"What!?" Fuguku says, practically steaming. Naruto gulps as he sees Fuguku's eyes change to his sharingan.
"They know what he is…he isn't from the village…we can't gain information about him without letting other villages know we are having something going around and killing people in the night." Fuguku growls at his son for not listening to him.
"I'll let you have this murder but I want all the information you can get on the murderer!" Fuguku shouts as he walks away, followed by two utterly bewildered Anbu.
"Finally!" Gibbs shouts as he walks out of the way of his team. He looks at the house then back at Naruto, "You live here?" Naruto nods slowly. "Good, follow me back to headquarters where you'll be interrogated." Naruto's eyes widened in shock, 'Interrogated!?!?'
"I'm going to have to intervene on that," Sasuke says as he walks up the bloodied steps to Naruto's apartment.
"And why is that?" Gibbs asks, getting irritated by everyone interfering with his investigation.
"That's because Naruto here is being protected by Konoha, I can't let him out of Anbu's sight until you guys leave."
"What? Is he being targeted by some evil organization built on taking over the world?" asks Tony mockingly.
"Why, yes, he is," Sasuke says as though it is the most blatantly obvious thing in the world. Tony blinks in surprise. "Anyways, if you want an interrogation, I could do it, or Konoha's best interrogator, Ibiki, can do it, you're choice."
Gibbs stays silent as he glares at Sasuke. As a way to possibly cool down this angry man, Sasuke adds, "Of course you can be there in person."
"Fine," Gibbs says as he turns to his team, "Ducky, I want the time of the death and his body ID'd. Tony, Ziva, Kate, McGee, stay on both of them! Don't let them out of your sights!"
"Got it boss," Tony says.
Sasuke turns to Naruto, "That ramen was going to be your breakfast, right? How about I take you to go get some more."
"Sure," Naruto says hesitantly at Sasuke unexpected kindness as he jumps off the railing of his apartment to avoid stepping in any evidence as Sasuke does the same. They wait for the four agents to accompany them before taking off, in course of Ichiraku's.
