The next day, Boruto and Sarada reached the village of Taronokuni, they immediately went to the mayor's office.

"You must be Konoha sent shinobi," the older short man stated

"Yes, we have come to investigate the situation in your village," Sarada replied

"As you probably know, the inhabitants of our village have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances for some time, mainly women and children, usually every third day, late in the evening"

"Do you have a suspicion who might be behind this?" Boruto asked

"Unfortunately not"

"Then please leave it to us"

"I'm counting on you"

After speaking with the mayor, Boruto and Sarada left his office.

"So what are we going to do Sarada now?"

"We should ask someone, maybe there will be people who know something"

"If there are any, chances are we'll find them over there," Boruto said, pointing to the bar

"We're going"

The couple entered the bar, looking around the room, suddenly their attention was caught by an elderly man who was different from the rest.

"I guess he might know something"

"We'll check," said Sarada, taking off her glasses

"Hey, wait what are you gonna do?" Boruto asked confusedly

"I'm going to use the seduction method to get information out of him"

Boruto, not knowing why, but he did not like this idea, but agreed due to the fact that maybe something can be extracted from him. Sarada walked over to the drunk man

"Hey handsome you don't mind if I join you?"

"Of course not, sit down hehehehe"

"You know, I heard about disappearances among the inhabitants, do you know anything about that?"

"You shouldn't be interested in this, have a drink with me instead"

Boruto looked irritated at this sight, clenching his fist, suddenly he saw that the man's hand was approaching Sarada's buttock, having quite that blonde in the blink of an eye appeared behind him, putting a kunai to his throat.

"Touch her over there and that will be the last thing you do"

The man paled as he sensed the lethal itings

"Hai"

"Now say what do you know about this incident with the lost residents?"

"I have heard rumors that there is a scientist who kidnaps women and children to conduct some strange experiments on them, I don't know how true this information is, but that's all I know."

"I see, you know where his hiding place is?"

"Ten kilometers north of here, as far as I know from a certain person"

"We'll have to check it out"

Boruto and Sarada left the bar and went to the place indicated by the man.

"Ne Boruto, why did you interfere, I had everything under control?"

"You know I couldn't watch that guy touch you"

"Ho I understand you are jealous," she said with a smirk

"Don't be kidding me, I'm jealous why should I be jealous"

"You tell me"

"Am I really jealous of her? We'd better concentrate on the mission" replied Boruto trying to finish the topic
