Sai called them to a stop, "Rabbit will lead beetle and rat to the address, he's been spotted there recently. Find anything you can on him there. Snake and I will proceed to a bar he attends nightly. Split." The three jumped away leaving said and Sasuke. "Our directive is to find the person behind these."

Sai pulled out two pictures of tattooed and branded skin bearing the Grass symbol. "Why is our mission different?"

"Naruto prefers to keep this as quiet as possible for the moment." Sai said. "We've got a person to interview, I want you to put them into a Genjutsu and conduct it while I look around their house for clues."

"Alright. What do you want me to investigate for?"

"The cover up mission." Sai said quickly. They took off through the trees and landed by a little house. "Be careful, we don't know what we're dealing with." Sasuke nodded and he alone approached the door and knocked.

"Hi Itachi!" Ruki said walking in the house and waving. She set her bag down, "I brought presents for Mokuza, where is he?"

"He's playing in his room, Ruki. It's the second door down the hall." Itachi said and the little girl ran down the hall and came thudding to a halt. Kaiyomi stepped in with her computer bag and held up a picture. "The four tails, this morning?" Itachi said looking at the date.

"I have the video from the past two, it's unlike anything I've ever seen, it's like they just stop existing. I don't think whomever's doing this isn't using the sealing technique for stealing them." Kaiyomi said and sat down on the couch pulling out her lap top and opening it. "It'll take a minute to open up, but I've also got some murder photos you may want to see, I think it's related."

"So you're not sure?" Itachi asked quickly. "We don't need un-relating information right now."

"Whether it's relating or not is unimportant, what's important is that I'm positive it's important." Kaiyomi said opening a file. "This is the three tails disappearing. As you can see the water just rushes in afterward, he's simply gone. Then this is the four tails this morning. It happened in Rock, hundreds of miles away from the one yesterday."

"Shukaku's still near Suna though. For any use of power wouldn't they need one first?"

"This is where I think this might come in handy." She closed the window and opened up a file and clicked on a photo. "We found him near a village on the outskirts of Rock."

"Is that a heart?"

"Burned black with chakra. Over the past two days Ruki and I have found nineteen others with the exact same problem. The cause of death was chakra strain on the heart." Kaiyomi pulled up a map and hit a key and nineteen little red dots appeared all over. "There's no pattern, no way to pinpoint the bastard who's doing my research."

"So, this is what happens during chakra fusion."

"Well, if you're doing it wrong and try to force it in to fast, you have to let the body adapt to new chakra, a fusion can take up to a full week if it's just one person. Anyway, the person who found out they could do it is trying to force feed these people. And there's one more thing connecting them."

"Let me guess they a tattoo of Grass's symbol?"

"Oh, so you do know a little something about this." Kaiyomi shut down the computer and pulled out a scroll. "This is chakra fusion, it is physically implanting chakra into another person from an outside source… but it works both ways."

"So you can rip the chakra out of a person, and then put it in?" Itachi said. "What happens on each end?"

"When you give, your permanently boosting the chakra, you're able to completely regenerate all the chakra that was put into you. The limits are endless." Kaiyomi pointed to the first few lines, "this goes into more detail on that. Basically, it's not sealing chakra into a person, it's giving it to them."

"Is the chakra rip out like what we did with the Jinchuriki?"

"Somewhat, but instead of ripping out most of the person own chakra first, it'll take out what the person pinpoints, there by avoiding the death of the person." Kaiyomi rolled up the scroll and handed it to him. "This is your copy, use it as you see fit."

"I'll write it out as a book and get rich off of it." Itachi joked putting it away on a shelf with some other scrolls. "We need to go show Naruto the information. He's got Sasuke out investigating it right now. Mokuza, Ruki, come on."

"Oh shit…" Kisame said looking over at the large statue slowly disappearing into the ground. He looked over to where seven tails was and saw the beast disappear into wind. "Great we've got competition."

Kisame quickly ran over and began writing numbers down on his arm with a kunai. Kisame looked up and saw the seventh eye open as the statue dropped into the ground. "Well at least things are getting interesting. Zetsu, did you get all that?"

"I got it. I have to say whoever's doing this is a Hell of a lot more efficient then we were. But they're going out of order." Zetsu said rising out of the ground. "I'll go report to Itachi."

"I'm coming too, so pop out of the ground will you, it's creepy where your taking a piss and your not sure where the hell you are." Kisame said and grabbed a part of Zetsu and ripped him out of the ground.

"He was defiantly the tattoo artist, there was a shop in his basement, anything on your end?" Sai pulled off his mask as they sat in the tree.

"He was in a high powered Genjutsu, he didn't know a damn thing. It was to the point he'd just blank out when ever the user needed him and could control his body. Besides that, he likes fishing, never seen the guy on the photo and clams to be the world's best dancer."

"So, we have no real leads?"

"I left the Jutsu on him, they make come back to him, but there was no sign of the user's presences and I don't think they can willingly tap into memory." Sasuke shoved his mask onto the top of his head. "When do you think the others will get back?"

"When they discover the place I sent them to doesn't exist."

"Maybe it's underground?" Tenten said and looked around.

"Maybe it was burned down in a fire? There does seem to be some foundation left." Hinata suggested.

"We've been staring at an empty plot of land for the past half an hour, there's nothing there and hasn't been there for a couple years." Shino said. "I feel we were set up for something."

"It does feel like that doesn't it?" Hinata said. "Maybe we got sent on busy work? Or this was a test and we failed!"

"Why would they do that? They do that during the chunin exams." Tenten said stopping to think.

"But what if it was a test?" Hinata said softly.

Shino put his hand on her head, "were full ANBU, relax. I feel this has been busy work. The Hokage probably had something he needed those two to do but couldn't send out just them in a new team. Let's get back." They all nodded quickly and jumped into the trees.
