A/N-The reason this chapter was up so early was because I got bored during school today, and wrote it during then. I just had to edit, and then input. I'll try to update as soon as possible, but I doubt 1 day updates will be common. I don't own Naruto, but enjoy!
"Tsume, what did you discover?" Saritobi asked the Inuzuka.
"I only found one scent around the forest." She responded.
"Who's?"
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
After class
"You should have seen the looks on everyone's face when I used Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke sighed, and placed his hands in his pockets.
"Whatever, how long did it take for you to learn that jutsu?" the Uchiha asked. He wanted to know how physically strong Naruto was.
"I don't know didn't keep time. After I finally made clones that didn't look so tired, I dispelled them all, and didn't remember anything that happened after that. The next thing was the sky and trees I saw." Naruto nodded his head as he reported what happened that training time. "However…"
"What?" Sasuke questioned. Naruto closed his eyes, stopped walking, and was in deep thinking.
"When I was running home, I did see 3 really small holes next to where I was laying." Naruto continued.
"What's suspicious about that?"
"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but while I was running home to take a shower, I felt itchy."
"Itchy?"
"Yeah, then when I took off my jacket, I found a bunch of these weird small, bumpy things." Naruto handed one of them to Sasuke. Sasuke turned the thing, placed it under the sun, and gave it back to Naruto.
"Looks like some transparent patch of skin." Sasuke concluded. Naruto sniffed it, and shrugged.
"Lets go bother Jii-san!" Naruto shouted. He ran down the street, with Sasuke grunting, but following.
At the Hokage Tower
"Sandaime-sama (3rd Hokage), what more proof do you need?" a Chunnin argued. Saritobi took a puff from his pipe, and blew out the smoke. He loved to smoke, especially when something was troubling him.
"Naruto isn't a person who would kill his fellow villagers." The smoker argued.
"Tsume even reported that Naruto's scent was around the forest, other than the 3 dead ninjas. It has to be him."
"Why would Naruto kill his own people, can you answer that?" The Chunnin flinched from the question, but answered 3 seconds later.
"B-B-Because is the Ky-"
"YOU ARE NOT TO SPEAK OF THAT!" The Hokage yelled. He was very mad; the steam coming from him wasn't from his pipe, but from his ears. "Naruto was alone his entire life, with no one to help or befriend him. Even though he played pranks, he never hurt anyone in the process did he?" The ninja shook his head.
"Still, he's the only suspect we have."
"No!" The Sandaime got some papers, with some x-rays of the dead shinobi. "I've received reports that the our dead people also had their necks broken, so they were probably also suffocated. Naruto's style would to be tackling an opponent head-on, not making him or her suffer." Saritobi puffed another gust of smoke after his observation. "Plus, look at these." The Hokage handed the Chunnin another set of papers. "As you can see, these are the deepness of the teeth bites you showed me. They are indeed, most likely fangs. However, they bites are too deep for any human to make. Also, if you look at the x-ray with the skull from overview, you can see the teeth marks are too close to each other for a human to make." The old man then got up, and looked outside the village.
"Naruto could've turn into it, and killed the 3." The reporting shinobi pointed out.
"Maybe," the man puffed out another gust of smoke "but, if he were to turn into fox-like, even a fox doesn't twist or strangle the neck when fighting, nor have fang marks that close when biting." Hiruzen Saritobi took the pipe out of his mouth, and placed it on the table.
"Then, if Naruto didn't kill the 3, who did?" The ninja said in frustration. The old man closed his black eyes for 2 seconds before opening them again.
"Send some people to find Naruto. I need to question him," the wise man responded.
"You don't have to," a voice came from outside. Naruto and Sasuke walked through the door. "Because, we're already here." Sasuke finished.
Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino were Sasuke's biggest fan girls. Sakura had long-pink hair tied with a red ribbon given by Ino, and a red cheongsam dress with white circular designs. She also wore green shorts, but those were usually hidden by her dress. Ino had blond hair tied into a long ponytail that reached her back, a purple vest-dress overall with the sleeves cut off and bandages at her waist. Both were once good friends, but after realizing they both fought for Sasuke, they became rivals. However, today, they agreed that Naruto was surprising better than usual, using an advanced jutsu that not even most Chunnin level ninja could use. They decided to investigate on the scene.
"This will be the only time I'm working with you Ino-pig!" Sakura shouted.
"Same for me billboard brow!" Ino barked back. If one looks at the 2 closely, they would be able to see the laser glares intersecting at each other, one trying to overcome the other. While they were busy with the glaring contest, they didn't notice Naruto and Sasuke walk by.
"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but while I was running home to take a shower, I felt itchy." Naruto explained.
"Itchy?" Sasuke asked. Sakura and Ino suddenly realized they could get their chance to spy on Sasuke AND Naruto, and quickly silenced.
"Yeah, then when I took off my jacket, I found a bunch of these weird small, bumpy things." Naruto handed one of them to Sasuke. Sasuke turned the thing, placed it under the sun, and gave it back to Naruto.
"What do you think that think is?" Ino whispered to Sakura.
"I don't know, lets find out." Sakura replied.
"Looks like some transparent patch of skin." Sasuke concluded. Naruto sniffed it, and shrugged.
"Lets go bother Jii-san!" Naruto shouted. He ran down the street, with Sasuke grunting, but following.
"After them!" Sakura whispered harshly, and scurried after.
At the Hokage Tower
"I found that in my jacket after I took it off." Naruto explained. Saritobi examined it like Sasuke did, and slammed it on the table.
"I don't know what it is, but for now, Naruto, let the ANBU handle this. Worry about your exam!" The Hokage ordered. Naruto and Sasuke nodded, waved, and took off.
What is your plan? Went in the old man's head.
