Act II/Scene I

(Shikamaru, Desiree, Naruto, and Marvin(who has taken the guise of Batman), are searching for Sakura. Batman arrives at Naruto and Sakura's house.)

B/M: [thought] Strange. The window was wide open. (He press a touch sensitive button on his cowl) Desi, can you hear me?

D: Loud and clear.

I'm at their house. The place is ransacked. Apparently, there was some conflict. Tables are knocked over, flower pots are on the floor, aw man, and this looks like a heavy fight happened. I'll be searching for fingerprints and possible esca-

(Batman hears a creaking noise and gets into the defensive.)

Hold on, I heard something.

(Someone jumps out of a dresser, small in stature, wielding a kunai, shining due to the full moon light coming into the room. Batman dodges his little assailant.)

B/M: (coolly) Too. Slow. (He grabs his attacker by the back his shirt. The attacker shouts in surprise. The pitch of his voice signifies it's a child.)

D: Uh, Batman?

(The attacker is now revealed to be Konohamaru.)

Kon: Let go of me!

(Desiree is shocked. She thinks MARVIN will hurt him.)

D: (angrily) Batman! What are you doing?! Are you list-

(Batman turns off the connection to the communicator that he gave Desiree. He then brings up Konohamaru to his face.)

B/M: (menacingly) What do want, kid? And tell me why you're hiding at a CRIME SCENE at this time of night?

K: (scared) I wanted t-to see if you were real or not! T-there's rumors going around on the street! People think you're some "enforcer" or "secret service" guy who answers directly to the Fifth! I know you think I have something to do with whatever happened here, but I didn't do anything! Please don't hurt me!

(MARVIN notices the fear and panic in the Genin's eyes. Underneath his mask, he grins.)

Wh-who are y-you e-exactly?!

B/M: I'M BATMAN. (He raises his right hand and a puff of knock out gas comes out of the glove. Konohamaru falls unconscious. He drops the boy onto the floor.)
