~Shikaruma's P.O.V.~

~Inside the Leaf Village's Police Force Headquarters, Later on That Night~

Letting out a sigh, I lit up a cigarette and rolled my eyes, as I looked over the missing children and teenager's files over our village. So far we've had at least eighteen missing children and teens half of these are girls, who lived in the poorest section of the village, and at least two of these girls came from middle class families, including Kairi Hatake, and she's still out there, out of all of these girls, the only one who managed to escape was a girl named Hana Yuuki, and unfortunately she died of a suicide and had heroin in her system, and the officer who was at the scene at the time was Mizuki, and so he had the unfortunate duty to tell Hana's parents that their only daughter was dead but, it could've been a possibility that Hana was one of Mizuki's sex workers. But the biggest question that won't leave me alone is, why would a police officer and a high school teacher work together? What was is that brought these two scumbags together? I thought to myself, as I took a drag off of my cigarette and inhaled the smoke, exhaling it through my nose a moment later, as I turned my attention towards the other half of my stack of missing teens and children files and reports, unfortunately we had don't have any survivors or any information on the boys which is a drag.

Taking another drag off of my cigarette, I leaned back in my chair, and let out a sigh, inhaling and exhaling the smoke off of my cigarette, I put my cigarette out in an ashtray on my desk that wasn't suppose to be here but, right now I could give a shit, unfortunately the Leaf Village had a human trafficking problem, that we didn't know until now.

Looking at the reports one more time, I did notice that one thing the majority of these victims had in common, most of them were between twelve and fourteen, which was a age for these kids to be recruited into the sex trafficking industry, and the majority of these kids were runaways with past reports of sexual abuse in their home life, which we failed to pay attention to.

We've should've been more alert and investigate further into these reports instead of dismissing them. If only I had done something, maybe I could've slow down the process of smuggling these eighteen children and teenagers out of the Leaf Village but, we couldn't have stopped the process of this human trafficking ring entirely, we're not sure how big and how deep this operation goes. I thought to myself, as I looked down at the reports on both Kairi and Hatake and Hana Yuuki, these two girls were the only expectation to the facts.

Both Kairi and Hana are the same age, the only difference between the two is Kairi is alive, and Hana is deceased, pretty much everything about these two is the same expect for the parentage and their social status but what would Mizuki and Kabuto want with these two, minus the fact that their very beautiful and they both wanted to become medical ninja, could this be the missing link between the two?

Standing up, my eyes widened when the truth hit me like a ton of bricks, grabbing both Kairi and Hana's files, and my pack of cigarettes and lighter, I ran straight out of the police headquarters and straight towards the Hokage's office, hoping to arrange a meeting with both Ibiki and the Hokage.

Running towards the Hokage's office, I spotted a ninja running towards Lady Tsunade's office, and recognized the dog as Kiba's dog Akurma. Well this should be an interesting meeting after all especially when I tell Lady Tsuande that Kairi was sent in Hana's place to heal someone, and that her abduction wasn't random at all, it had to have been planned, I mean why would Mizuki and Kabuto wait two years to smuggle Kairi out of the village? Unless they both were waiting on Kairi to learn as much medical stuff as she could before they took away from here. Could this be the answer be a major break in this case? Possibly but, perhaps I should wait on Lady Tsunade's answer before jumping to conclusions. I thought to myself as I entered the Hokage's place, and knocked on her door, and letting out a sigh, this was going to be a long night….
