Gravesite:

Team Inu didn't waste time and got to work once they got settled in; the first thing the team did was ask Chiko to lead them to the burial site. The gravesite was located a mile outside of Mizu no Kuni and twenty feet away from the land of Waves; it was a secluded area and easy to miss if you weren't looking for it.

Kitsune wondered how they had found it in the first place and asked Chiko, "Chiko san, can you tell me who and how this place was discovered," she asked? Chiko glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "Hai Kitsune chan, it was ironically a local boy from Wave that found it. Some friends and him were playing kick the can when they accidentally kicked the can too far; he went to retrieve it and found a hand sticking out of the ground instead," he said.

Kitsune winced behind her mask, feeling sorry for the child, "So the locals informed you," she said. Chiko nodded, "Hai! The local ninja's that stay here investigating the matter further; however, when they found the second body they called us," he said.

Inu noted how isolated the area was, giving it an eerie feeling; it wouldn't surprise him if Orochimaru had used this place, freaks like him were attracted to places like this. Chiko came to a standstill on top of a small cliff. When the team glanced down, they saw a taped off area in the corner of the woods.

The team jumped off the cliff and quickly crossed over the line. From there they continued walking for about twenty minutes until Chiko came to a stop. He lifting a finger and pointed, "It's right over there," he said.

"Oh my God," Kitsune heard Tora say over her shoulder.

Inu turned to his team, "Alright! I want all of you to spread out and examine one body each; once we're done with studying it, we will share our findings and discuss it," he said. "Hai Captain," the team saluted him.

Kitsune examined the first gravesite; the body was still there since Mei had ordered the graves to be just as they had been found for Konoha to study. The body appeared to be of a seven-year-old male; she guessed he had been here for about a year and a half guessing from the decomposition. She started her examination by looking closely at the bones for signs of significant injuries.

The body was covered in fractures, right off the bat she could count seven. It took her all but thirty seconds to finish counting and the total number came out to about twenty-four fractures, all spiral.

Kitsune also noticed rope tying the victim's arms behind his back and his legs. If this was Orochimaru's doing he wouldn't have restrained him, since most of his victims took part willingly, as sick as that sounded.

Kitsune didn't think it involved the snake; unfortunately, that meant there was another sicko out there targeting children, oh goody! Glancing down, a flap of paper caught her eye. Rolling the victim over, she pulled out an envelope.

Using a kunai she opened the letter: Ha, Ha, Ha, so it seems you idiots have finally found my little toy. Such a shame, I was having a blast! If you're wondering, the boy's name is Aito Nami. So now you know who he is, but you still don't know who I am. I could tell you, but where's the fun in that? I can tell you I am no longer in Mizu no Kuni and where I am in is the place of fire, no not hell, but close. Have fun finding me X.

Kitsune done with reading the note thought, "Great, we got ourselves a psychopath and a wise guy," she thought; although she was worried about what the note meant. Turning to Inu she called out, "Captain, I found something," she said.

Inu walked over to her, "What do you have Kitsune?" she handed him the note. Inu finished reading the note and let out a curse, "What a sicko," he said, Kitsune nodded. He looked at her, "Did you find anything else Kitsune," he asked? Kitsune nodded, "Hai sir! I found rope tying the victim's hands and feet. With all due respect, sir, I don't think Orochimaru is involved," she said.

Inu nodded, "I agree with you, but that isn't our call to make," he said turning to the rest of the team, "Guys have you found notes with your victims," he asked. Tora and Hebi raised their hands; Weasel and Toad inspected and soon raised their hands as well. Inu cursed, "Shit! It looks like our perp is playing with us," he said.

Kitsune also cursed, "Orochimaru doesn't leave notes," she said.

Inu narrowed his eyes behind his mask, "No he doesn't," he said.
