Cleanup and Investigations
Naruto looked around himself and cleaned up the parts that he had left for later before loosing himself and began sealing the parts in his scroll, which had a decent amount of blood on the inside of the white paper. He decided to make used of the dead man's apartment, he wouldn't mind after all, to get himself cleaned up and wash his clothes. He threw his clothing into the man's washer and went into his bathroom to take a long hot show, his own at the apartment didn't have heat so he wanted to make it last and enjoy it.
Two hours later Naruto walked out of the dead man's apartment cleaner and much more relaxed than he had before, he was able to vent all of his stress on his first hunt and then took a very relaxing shower and bath, better safe ten sorry with how dirty he had been, completely covered in blood before, and his clothes looked nicer too. His orange, blue, and white jacket was nice and warm on the inside after the drying machine though it took a little while to figure out how to use it. Either way it didn't matter, he had an amazing night and didn't want to ruin it by going back to his shabby place so he went home to the burrow and went into his room before falling into one of the most restful night's sleep he had in a long time.
A woman walked through the streets, her agitation radiating off of her like heat, as she made her way to her employ's apartment. He hadn't showed up that morning at the shop and had skipped work that day but the woman would make sure that he payed for his action fully. She made it up the stairs and to his room, banging on the door hard, the door swung open as if it had never been closed. A smell instantly hit her nose that made her gag and she covered her mouth and nose to try and block the stench. Light fell through the open door and into the once tidy apartment, showing her the remains of the man she had just moments ago wanted to chew out. The face was still intact, but almost nothing else was. The skin on all of his limbs had been ripped open and she could see his bones, his that had not only been cut but almost completely removed yet still it managed to connect his head to his bodies remains. His shirt had been turn through and his stomach and chest reflected onto his arms and legs, the floor was splattered with his blood with some areas left almost bare. The woman leaned on the door before turning around and running as fast as she could, only stopping when she had found a man with a hiate, showing that he was a ninja and hence forth the authority in the situation. He had silver hair that seemed to defy gravity and had been reading a small book from his hand, next to him were two other ninja, one wearing a green one piece jumpsuit, the other wearing mostly normal ninja attire. She bent over, out of breath and out of shape, while trying to catch her breath to speak to them and tell them of the horror she had just witnessed. They stood there, waiting for her to speak. When she finally caught her breath enough to talk she sounded as if she was blabbering random nonsense.
"Wow wow wow, calm down. Take a deep breath and get your thoughts in order alright? We aren't going anywhere." The very first one said.
"Th-there's been a murder!" She yelled quickly and their eyes widened
"Where?" The last one asked while the one in green ran off to tell the hokage in neck breaking speeds. She showed the. Where it was and soon the hokage, her apprentice, and a man with a long pale blonde ponytail soon appeared with the green dressed ninja from before.
"Do you have any idea of what happened?" Inoichi asked and the woman shook her head.
"I j-just ca-me to get him since he never showe-d up at work today. He works at my bakery as the cashier so after the busy hour ended I came to get him...and I-I found this." She stammered, still not truly believing this could happen. You never really think of anything truly bad ever happening to you, you might here of it happening to others, but never to you. Tsunade looked at Asuma and he escorted the frightened woman away from the bloody mess and the room. Tsunade then turned to Kakashi and Gai.
"Go get Shikaku Nara, Anko, and Ibiki and then leave, this is out of your hands now." She said and the two left instantly to follow their orders. The requested people showed up, and yellow police tape was put up around the area. Anko looked at the area, her normally silly attitude replaced with a serious, calculating one. She carefully walked over the now dry blood and stood in front of where the man had fallen.
"Do you see it?" She suddenly asked to no one in particular
"See what?" Inoichi asked, Anko pointed to the throat wound
"The edges of the wound are jagged but smooth, it looks almost like a bite mark. Multiple bite marks, but still bite marks." She said before pointing to another part of the destroyed throat. "And this guy must have some sort of strong jaw or something, they literally ripped out the wind pipe and it's nowhere to be seen." She finished
"Neither are the other internal organs." Ibiki said while pointing at the hole where the guts where meant to be. Inoichi nodded in agreement.
"They must have had some sort of weapon or something, the gashes in the arms and legs look almost like some sort of cut. Granted, multiple cuts, and it looks like they were all done at the same time, or at least a large amount were done at once. They go as deep and long as each other, what I don't get is why these marks are made, what did this man do, and what had the person who did it, do with the parts he took." Inoichi said and Anko looked slightly sick as she realized something.
"What if...what if they were eating him?" She asked and she was given strange looks.
"I'm sorry?" Ibiki asked, not believing what his friend and coworker said. She pointed to an area on the neck where the gapping wound began.
"A knife couldn't make this kind of wound, it looks like the kind of rip you see on the leftover carcass of a hunt, you see it all the time in the forest of death." She said
"But then the door would have been forced open or the windows would be broken. There is no forced entry at all in any part of the house. The only way for any of that to be possible is if it was a person and last time I checked, people don't eat other people." Shikaku said while looking at the closest window for any damage he missed.
"I know that MOST people don't but this guy does." Anko retorted, Shizune took a closer look at the body.
"All of the removed body parts are no where to be seen, that means that, if the person was in fact committing cannibalism, then they either ate everything they took, or somehow managed to carry all of the things they took but people would have noticed it if someone were to go out carrying a huge pile of bloody meat and origins." Shizune said back. They all continued to argue and investigate but there job wasn't to investigate, they were analysts and torturers, this wasn't there area of operation and none of them had seen anything quite like this.
Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji walked through the streets of Konoha to go to some sort of multi-team-meeting. It was only a few hours ago when the meeting was called, something urgent that the hokage needed them all to do. They met in the hokage's office, team Kakashi was late and so was his team, he probably hadn't told them of the meeting yet or something. Tsunade sent Asuma out to go get them to make them come before they had to wait an hour or two before actually starting anything. Asuma grabbed his team and brought them with him before heading to the area he knew them to train in almost everyday. When he got there, no one was at the actual training spot. Ino's Sasuke meter pointed them into the direction of a red bridge where team 7 waited for there sensei. Shikamaru and Choji waved towards them, Naruto waved back. Something about him was off, he was acting less goofy and more childish in a way and he practically glowed, his eyes were squinted like he did whenever he smiled or was confused but now they were just closed the entire time. Just because his eyes were closed, didn't mean that he couldn't see. Naruto jumped from his spot and landed hereby them, he had jumped from practically half of the bridge and had been on the other side before jumping and was now standing a little bit in front of them, he opened his eyes the second he landed on the ground and they practically glowed with enthusiasm.
"Hey guys! Shika, Choji, Ino, how've ya been?!" He practically yelled happily, not taking notice in Asuma's presence. Ino looked at Naruto strangely before turning to Sakura for an explanation, Choji also looked at him strangely.
"Uhh...not much? We came here to-" Choji began but was interrupted by Sakura
"NARUTO YOU BAKA! STOP BEING SUCH AN IDIOT AND LET THEM THROUGH!" She shrieked, the other team raised an eyebrow again at the odd behavior. Ino abandoned them to gloom her oh so precious Sasuke, Sakura following her lead and the two played a game of tug of war with Sasuke being the rope. Shikamaru turned to Asuma
"Are they always like this?" He asked
"They're a little worse today, but that could just be because I made them come here before sunrise." Kakashi said after popping up out of nowhere.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura yelled after winning the game of tug of war.
"Mornin' Kakashi Sensei!" Naruto said excitedly with a few fast waves, Kakashi waved back in a lazy manner and an eye smile.
"Good morning team, who wants to know what we're doing today?" He asked
"Training? A mission?"Naruto asked and Kakashi nodded at the second one
"A mission? Is it going to be like a C rank?" Kakashi shook his head " a B rank?" He nodded and Naruto's excitement grew instantly "are we escorting someone somewhere? Protecting someone? Or are we investigating a murdah?" Naruto added the last part jokingly with an accent for kicks, Kakashi's eyes widened and Asuma almost dropped his cigarette. "What?" Naruto asked confused at there looks, Shikamaru looked at his sensei, his eyes squinted suspiciously.
"Come on" Asuma said
"They're expecting us" Kakashi finished
"Who?" Sakura asked
"The other rookies and the Hokage." Nothing else was said after that, they went and soon made it to the hokage's office. Once they were all there, Tsunade went to work on explaining what was going on
"A two days ago a man named Nigai Aji was murdered inside of his apartment, I want you all to go around the area he was located at during and before the time of his death to try and help us figure out who it was who did it." Tsunade said and Tenten raised her hand "Yes?" Tsunade asked
"While I agree with the whole investigation, O don't think that some of us-" she motioned towards the entirety of team Kakashi and then to the team of Hinata, Choji, and Kiba "-are exactly qualified for this job." She finished and Tsunade nodded
'That's true, Sakura and Ino plus Sasuke equals chaos, Naruto plus Kiba equals loud arguing and fighting, and Hinata plus Naruto equals a trip to the emergency room. Not to mention that Shino gives people the creeps most of the time...' Tsunade thought and nodded towards the Jonin senseis. "You know what to do." Was all she said before Asuma's team left in a puff made by Asuma, Gai's teem sprinted off while shouting something of the power of youth, after all of them had left Tsunade sighed before opening a drawer and pulling out a bottle of sake. She didn't know why but she felt like something bad was going to happen soon.
