Last time, Naruto was doing well in keeping his identity from his friends, but all of sudden he gets himself in the middle of a murder case. Now he needs to solve the case and keep his hidden identity from his friends.

Train station

Currently right now, the police was now all over the station keeping everyone inside the building as well as keeping out any people who wanted to board the train. At the crime scene, Naruto was standing near the crime scene where the victim was now dead. The inspector that was doing the investigation was detective Takagi. Naruto was glad that Takagi was here since he is one of the few inspectors that knew about him.

When Takagi came to the scene about 10 minutes ago, Takagi spotted him and was glad since he knows that Naruto would know what to do about the crime scene as well as come up with some theories. Naruto told him how the probable cause on how the poison got to his system, but he doesn't know the murder since he wasn't paying attention to the cart. Once they talk, Takagi got the team together to photograph the crime scene, gather up all the evidence, and finally take the body out to let the train go, but not until Takagi had his suspects. Takagi then asked for the suspects, but Naruto told him that he doesn't know since he didn't pay attention to their faces. Takagi was disappointed, but lighten up when Naruto suggested to take a look at the security cameras to find his suspects. After 15 minutes, they were able to get the 7 people since they weren't able to leave the station.

Right now, Naruto already gave his statement to Takagi, but inform him that he could help but only if he can get away from some certain people. Takagi was confused about it, but Naruto said that it would be alright since he made some quick phone calls, before he arrived.

"Here Takagi, wear this on your ear. I would be able to listen in on your interrogation, as well as speak into your ear, while still be hidden in the shadows for now." Said Naruto

"Hai, but how are you going to respond since if people see you talking by yourself, they are going to think it's strange as well as curious." Asked Takagi

"Don't worry; I have that covered since I live near Hikari." Answered Naruto

Takagi instantly knew what he means, since Hikari was like Naruto, a young genius who works for the police since he is a higher up inspector at the precinct. Takagi went to work on figuring out who are the likeliest suspects to comment the homicide. As Takagi left, Naruto went nearby Takagi, but still far enough to not be considered anything weird, just a boy who was a witness to the case.

Naruto, right now, was standing nearby the crime scene since he was only one who was at the scene. After about 30 minutes, Takagi brought forth the 7 people who were in the cart with the late victim. Naruto listened in Takagi's investigation on these people. 4 of the people were high school students, so they were let go since there wasn't any background that any corresponded with the victim. The last 3 did have a connection to the victim.

The 1st was a 35 year old male, who was kinda chubby, but tall. He has a grudge since the victom made some bad calls in business and forced him out of a lot of money which he is now in debt.

The 2nd was a 30 year old woman, who average body. She was connected to him since her father was a business partner to him, which he over took it and left her father with nothing. This of course led to some difficult times, which her father then died about 3 years ago.

The 3rd and final was 25 year old male, who is average as well except his face was kinda weird. He was connected with the victim as his former employee but was fired when he made mistakes on money transactions as well as being framed for stealing money from him, but was actually the victom who stole money.

Once the suspects were found, they allowed the station to continue their running operations.

As Naruto was listening in on his ear piece, Kiba and Ino were looking at him in surprise since Naruto had a glare on his face like he was trying to find the truth about the murder. They were surprise to see on how Naruto wasn't affected in seeing a dead body or touching one. They both got a phone call from their friends, whom they explained on what was going with them, as well as Naruto's new look on him.

Kiba decided to go to talk to Naruto, which Ino thought it was a bad idea since it looked like Naruto was busy helping the police with the investigation. Kiba talked to Ino and convince her to go talk to Naruto now. Just then, as they were right about to talk to him, someone else called for him. Naruto greeted the person that came to him like they were best friends with a strange handshake. A five knuckle grab with their right hand at the middle. A high five with their left hands and finished it off with a normal handshake.

Kiba saw this and couldn't help but be disappointed that Naruto had a friend like that since he thought they were best friends, but they don't have a special handshake. Ino, on the other hand, couldn't help but blush on Naruto's friend. The guy had white smooth hair around on his head and had to be around 14 years old. His face was pretty good looking. He had silver eyes; he is also a foot shorter then Naruto. His body was just as average to Naruto. His clothing was white pants with average short and long sleeve jacket.

They saw how Naruto and the guy were talking. It was a friendly conversation. As they saw them conversating, they didn't know that there was a conversation.

Naruto and Hikari conversation

After their little handshake, they began to talk.

Hikari "Oi Naruto, it's nice to meet you, but meeting in a situation like this. Why did you call me like this? Usually, you would be solving this case in no time flat?"said Hikari in a smooth tone of voice

"Yeah, well-" said Naruto narrowed his eye on to his left quickly, showing why he called Hikari (whos name is Satoushi Hikari). Once Satoshi saw Ino and Kiba, he got the idea.

"Don't tell me you called me here as a cover for you to keep your secret life a secret, right?" asked Satoushi

Naruto grinned and Satoshi was kinda amused about how Naruto is so sneaky about keeping his secret a secret. Satoshi decided to talk to him like a normal conversation since he figured out what Naruto's little scheme, while Naruto was listening in on Takagi's interrogation of the 3 suspects.

(I won't go into steps about the case so I well skip it since its boring in a way)

After about 4 hours, the investigation was over with the woman being the murder. She was able to put the cyanide on the bottle when the victim wasn't facing it for a moment. She did it for revenge because the victim help cause her father's early death.

After the case, Naruto was glad that Takagi asked him to come to the police department to give a full testimony tomorrow afternoon. Naruto agreed about it, which then was let go to go home. With that, the police left with the case closed.

Once the police left, Naruto went right back to Satoushi, after Takagi gave him back his earpiece.

"Thanks for the help and distraction Satoushi. I couldn't have fooled my friends if you weren't here." Said a calm Naruto

"It's alright, just next time try not to get yourself in this kind of situations again without your mask." Said Satoushi

"Yeah …no problem" Naruto said with a grin. He then said "Hey, how about I buy you dinner for helping me out as well as apologizing for using you for this little problem."

Satoushi "Fine, but your paying for it." Answered Satoushi with a grin

Naruto agreed, which he then told him a good place that was near by that sell good pasta and other Italian delicacies. They walked towards it, but they notice that they were being followed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kiba was called Shikamaru about Naruto being involved in a murder case as a witness through his cell phone. Ino did the same with her friends Sakura and Hinata. Sasuke's friend informed Sasuke as well.

They continue to follow Naruto and this new guy towards an Italian restaurant. They waited for a little while in the entrance of the restaurant, when all of a sudden 3 more people came who were the same age as the white hair boy. One was a red-head boy with red eyes. The other 2 were twin girls that have red hair, but one had short hair that reached the chin but wore clothes that made her like a tomboy but still have girlish figure and the other one has her hair reaching by her back as well as wear a shirt with a long skirt. Both were cute girls, which they were fine with. All 3 of them greeted Naruto and Satoushi and then went into the restaurant.

Shikamaru group continue to spy on them, while Sakura and Sasuke's group just had enough and left. After a while, Shikamaru group gave up as well since they go tired of waiting.

Naruto

Naruto and his friends were enjoying their meal and talking about stuff; like how the last time they met as well as how much they grew. They enjoyed the company with each other. After dinner, Naruto said his good-byes with them and left to go home.

Tuesday Morning

Naruto, right now, was at his homeroom class, listening to a history listen. As Naruto's sigh from boredom, he could sense that that everyone that was interested in knowing what he does.

Naruto, after he got back home, called Inspector Mcguire to inform him that he well give his statement on Saturday then tomorrow since he has classes tomorrow. Mcguire agreed as well as thanked him on helping with the case.

As Naruto was losing focus on the boring material that his teachers were giving him, everyone else was trying to figure him out.

Shikamaru thought that Naruto is D.K. but the way he acted was not like that. But the phone call he got from Kiba about the way he acted yesterday on the train station. He is now beginning to think that there is more to Naruto then meets that eye.

Kiba was wondering on how many friends Naruto has.

Everyone was having there own opionon on him, but they have no proof that they both him and D.K. were one in the same.

After school

Everyone decided to just drop the matter of Naruto since it was clear that Naruto was a geek and not D.K. Everyone agreed to it, but a few didn't. Shikamaru, Hinata and Shino decided to follow him. Shikamaru and Shino both thought the same way about Naruto, while Hinata followed her instincts about him.

They followed Naruto through some train and bus stops, but this time, they made sure that they were at least like 50 meters away, which Shino was able to keep a good eye on him since he brought a binocular. Naruto was taking the train to go to another part of the city, since he has other things to do. By the time he makes it to the other half of the city, it would take him about an hour.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

With Naruto

As I was making my way towards the other half of the city, I couldn't get the feeling out of my head that I was being followed. I check the back to make sure who it was, but there was no one there. At 1st I thought it was probably a professional coming after me or someone along the lines, but I throw that thought away since I gave the person a few opening chances were to take me out, but nothing happened. So I thought it was just my imagination since I have to admit that I haven't gotten enough sleep so, I just forgot about it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

With Shikamaru's group

Shikamaru, Shino and Hinata were 3 train carts away from Naruto. It would have been a problem for them to keep following him, but Shino with his binoculars was able to keep a trail on him. AS Shino still kept an eye on him, Shikamaru went to Hinata and confronted her on something that has been bothering him.

"Alright Hinata… why are you following Naruto like us? I'll admit that following him is a waste of time yesterday, but well that's for other reasons." Asked Shikamaru

Hinata "Well, the reason I'm following him like you guys are is because I just have this feeling like you guys do. Even though I don't have any proof, I just feel like have to know the truth about it him and D.K." answered Hinata while stuttering a bit

With that they settle their conversation for now. As they continue there little spy adventure, they were near the next stop which was a stop at near Tokyo University.

(I don't know the exact mapping of places in Japan so don't criticize on it)

They saw Naruto leaving the train at this stop. As they followed, they saw him moving towards the bus that leads to Tokyo U. They decided to let Hinata follow since she is plainer looking and would be easier to hide since she was shorter than them. Hinata entered the bus and made sure that Naruto didn't pay attention.

When Hinata entered, she saw him paying attention to his cell phone as he looked like he was texting someone. That was a Kami's-blessing so for her to sneak away. Shikamaru and Shino followed in a different bus, but stayed in touch with Hinata through cell phone.

Naruto made it his stop in front of Tokyo U, which Hinata text ed it in her cell, which Shikamaru and Shino got. She decided to make the next stop since Naruto would see her coming off it.

Shikamaru and Shino were able to catch up with Naruto since the bus timing was only 15 minutes. They spotted Naruto sitting under a tree working on his laptop. But when they found him, he wasn't wearing his school uniform. Instead Naruto was now wearing regular clothes that revealed what Shikamaru wanted to know, since the last time they saw his arm, he and Shino were focus on the tattoo, not his arm. Now they saw him wearing light blue jeans, with black sneakers. He wore a loose short sleeve shirt that was orange with black stripes on the sleeves and end of it. He was also wearing around his neck was a necklace that had a green crystal in the middle of it.

After a few minutes, Hinata met up with Shikamaru and Shino, who were busy looking at Naruto. When Hinata started to look, Hinata blushed up a storm. Hinata saw the same thing as they were seeing, but Hinata was taking the deeper parts on Naruto. She saw Naruto's biceps and his strong chest, which she could tell from under the shirt. She couldn't tell from the abs down, but she could guess that Naruto must be hard.

Shikamaru and Shino saw Hinata blushing at see Naruto, so they asked her.

"Oi, Hinata! Why are you blushing about?" asked Shikamaruwhile Shino listening in

"It's just he is completely different from school, since here I can actually see his body and he looks stronger than he does in school." Answered Hinata

Shikamaru and Shino took a look as well as Hinata explained on what she can see and guest that he must be as strong as Sasuke. Shikamaru and Shino were beginning to wonder that if Naruto is as strong looking as Hinata says, and is so, then why act so weak. Shikamaru took out his digital camera and took Naruto's photo like that.

Just then they saw a group of the school's male soccer team coming up towards Naruto. Naruto and the group started to talk to each other, but then moved aside as Naruto quickly made a quick dash towards one of the buildings. A few had disappointed looks on their face, but then quickly let go and left. The group decided to continue following him.

They lost track of him, until they decided to look inside the classrooms. They search for about 15 minutes until they spotted Naruto in a psychology class. Naruto was taking notes in this class, while he was seating near some other university students. The class was about 50 students in it. As the lecture continue, Hinata, Shikamaru and Shino sat in the back listening in on the lecture, while viewing Naruto. After about 10 minutes, the instructor asked on a very difficult question. Some of the other students were nervous or couldn't answer it. Hinata, Shikamaru and Shino were stump, especially since they never studied it. They were surprised that someone spoke up the answer. The person who answered was Naruto. Naruto 1st explain the question in steps and examples so the other students could understand, and then gotten right towards the answer.

"Well explained Namikaze-san. As expected from one of my top passing students." Said the instructor with praise

Naruto graciously accepted the praise. Some of the other students also praised him as well. Naruto went back to his laptop and continue to take notes, which the instructor started to give out. Hinata and the other couldn't believe that Naruto knew that, but were more surprise to here that Naruto was student to the instructor. With this they figure out something that is very secretive.

Hinata, Shikamaru and Shino union thought "Naruto is a student here. Naruto is a Tokyo U Student." In stunning realization

They now know that their classmate is actually an university student in one of the best Universities in the world.
