Mystery Of the Doll Maker Ch.1
The horizon was a deep sapphire as the sun began its ascent up into the sky. At this same time Guy jogged his way through one of Konoha's dimly lit public parks and out of the corner of his eye he caught a brilliant flash of red causing him to stop and do a double take. As he walked closer towards the children's playground Guy began to recognize the shape of a young woman sitting gracefully on a swing or so it would appear. Upon examining the woman more closely he realized that she was unnaturally still. Hesitantly he reached out to check her pulse when he found none he called 9-1-1 with his sweaty cell phone.
It was 10:30 when detective Naruto Uzumaki and his partner Sasuke Uchiha stood in the middle of the crime scene around the body of a young red headed woman named Nala Jones who was dressed in a Victorian red and black boat neck gown with a black corset, shoes, fake diamond jewels and a red rose that was placed in her pinned up hair; her blue eyes stared hollowly back at them almost in an accusing fashion. A deep sigh caught both Naruto and Sasuke's attention and they glanced up at their friend and M.E. (Medical Examiner) "Oh there's another one, what a way to start your weekend huh?" Sakura asked her fellow co-workers "Yeah, well I guess it's true what people say crime never really does take a vacation." Sasuke replied as Sakura knelt down and started to examine the body. "She's been dead about 2 hours, no sign of any blunt force trauma to her body, she's about 20 years old, and Caucasian. But to know more I'll have to take her to the lab for a full evaluation. I'll call you guys as soon as I know anything." Sakura finally announced after a few minutes of looking over the body and after placing the victim in a gurney, covering the body, and loading it in the M.E. van Sakura drove towards her office.
Naruto and Sasuke canvased the area for a few hours checking the scene for any signs of struggle, blood, tracks, anything. If their suspicions were confirmed then they had a serial killer on the loose. This was the third crime scene they had been to and every single one of the previous crime scenes had similarities. There was always no sign of struggle, no blood, and no tracks which left them at a very frustrating dead end as far as the scene was concerned. All of the body's so far had been placed in variously colored Victorian styled outfits with no signs of struggle, blunt force trauma, and or rape. The victims' blood tests had always turned out negative for any signs of poison, drugs, and so forth. This left the whole squad irritated and lost. As Sasuke and Naruto helped catalogue the last of the crime scene, Naruto's cell went off and upon answering it Naruto discovered that the victim's death was identical to the other two deceased women. It was now official they had a homicide on their hands thanks to a serial killer.
Begrudgingly Naruto and Sasuke went back to their precinct to check in with their squad leader. As they entered the room they saw their boss combing over a vanilla folder, and noticing that the door was wide open Sasuke and Naruto walked through the open office door. Feeling a pair of eyes on him Lead detective Kakashi Hatake looked up and in doing so accidently dropped the folder which caused an Icha Icha Paradise book to fall out. This caused both Naruto and Sasuke to sweat drop as Kakashi hastily reached down to pick up the folder. "So what have you got for me?" Kakashi asked his two young detectives. "We found another body in the park and her case is identical to the other bodies that we found on the Ferris wheel last week and the woman on the park bench two days ago." Naruto answered solemnly "Do we have any leads as of late?" Kakashi asked "None." replied an irritated Sasuke. "Well what has our behavioral unit come up with so far?" Kakashi asked "Not much, Neji Hyuga thought he got something but that turned out to be a dead end, and Shikamaru Nara has just come back from his sabbatical and knows little to nothing so far" Naruto replied. "Well then I guess we may have to call in one of the best behavioral analysts detective squad and ask them to help us." Said a voice from the door way, the three males in the room turned and faced their superior Tsunade who had come by to see how the cases were going. Solemnly the men in the room nodded their heads in agreement.

The phone rang in Gaara Sabaku's office. After picking up the phone and having a brief discussion with the Tsunade, Gaara agreed to send one of his siblings out to Konoha to assist them. It was around 11:45pm when Temari walked into Gaara's office "You sent for me?" Temari asked her brother/ superior "There is a tricky serial killer out in Konoha, and they need our help. Now Kankuro is working on another case, and I can't just leave my city in the middle of a huge ongoing meeting, so I'm sending you out there first thing in the morning. Here is the case file and you will also be briefed upon your arrival" Gaara replied tiredly as he handed a folder to Temari, Temari looked at her brother "Okay, I guess I'll see you when I get back." She replied as she took the folder from his hands and started walking to the office door "Be careful…" Gaara said softly as Temari opened the door "I'll try, but no guarantees." Temari teased as she started heading home to pack.
