Uzumaki Naruto lifted his head from an old book as the door to his office slammed open, revealing three girls. "He immediately recognized them as Ino-san's three students. "Rey, Cassadre, Hikari... Is something wrong?" They all began talking at once, sobbing.

"She..."

"They..."

"Blood..." Naruto stood up.

"Please stop talking all at once. Now, where is Ino?" He raised a and as they all began to talk again. "Hikari. Please tell me what happened." The tall Nara drew a deep breath, before shakily speaking.

"We were... Training... And then these eyes appeared... Ino-sensei seemed to know who it was but...she just fell in half... and..." The girl broke into tears, sobbing on the floor. Naruto closed his eyes for a moment, and only Hikari was close enough to hear what he next said.

"So... He's back..." The words, whispered were barely audible even to Nara Hikari. As Naruto glanced up, there was deep sorrow in his eyes. He bit into his thumb, getting blood on all five of the fingers on his right hand. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu..." His hand was laid flat on an open spot of his desk. A tall red frog appeared from a cloud of smoke, wearing armor and a blue vest. "Gamakichi... Go fetch Hyuuga Hinata and her medical team, tell them to come to my office... Then go to ANBU squad leader Hyuuga Neji, tell him... Tell him to go to the training grounds, and investigate the death of Yamanaka Ino." The frog raised a webbed hand in a salute.

"Will do, boss!" Gamakichi turned and ran off through the doorway, as the three girls continued crying.

In a few minutes, Medical-Nin Hinata arrived, with three assistants. Gorn nodded as she came in. "Take these girls to the hospital, check them over. They've all been through trauma recently..." Gorn gave a slight smile to Hinata-chan, before turning and pulling a scroll off the shelf.

"I will take care of them, Hokage-sama..." She half turned and gave her assistants a short nod. The three each went to one of the girls and picked them up in their arms, before exiting together. Gorn smiled at Hinata again, before opening the scroll and staring at a map of the Rice Field Country, slightly frowning.
