Don't own the characters or anything
AN: Hakarimaru is only confused about human genders since Naruto took over a role meant for a mother. Since Naruto even though he is human male Hakari thinks Naruto is female by extension all human males. Tora the first isn't dead she became too skilled to be capture and successfully escaped the village Omake later. This chapter is wave mission next is the lab mission and so on and so forth.
Next Story I update will be Decay as I will do a large chapter for the Cerberus story to wrap up the attack on Kirigakure.
Sorry for the wait and Review.
A few miles from the village
XXX
"It is nice to get out of the village." Sakura exclaimed as Tazuna looked at them funny.
"These kids never left the village before? Have they ever been in a real fight?" Tazuna was really concerned as their blood would be on his hands, but he has to think of his village. Sakura turned a bit embarrassed.
"We have Tazuna-san. For my team this is our tenth C ranked mission." Kurenai stated to put to rest Tazuna's concern, but it angered team seven's Uchiha.
"How have you three been given that many C ranks when this is our first?!" Sasuke demanded more than asked. Naruto looked at the last loyal Uchiha with an annoyed look on his face thinking back to how Itachi would speak highly of his little brother.
"There is a minimum of fifteen D rank missions you have to do before your first C rank, but your sensei decides when you start doing missions and how often you go on them." Naruto stated with his arms crossed. "C rank missions are when few Genin get their first kill due to bandits, but most don't get that until they reach Chunin and go on B ranked missions so the Hokage has to be sure that the Genin going on these mission are mentally prepared for that possibility of death be it the bandit or themselves."
The Uchiha seemed to scoff at the notion that he could die at the hands of some bandit. The most arrogant saying ever made was "only an Uchiha could defeat an Uchiha" and many of them lived by that forgetting about Madara's defeat by the first and the war which they lost. "I more prepared for this than you dobe." Sasuke couldn't understand why Kuma pissed him off so much.
"Also, You all have barely proven to me that you three can work together long enough to handle protecting anyone. (Hopefully this danger will show you three that you need to work with others although all the blame falls on Sasuke's arrogance)." Kakashi stated not looking up from his book.
Kurenai was speaking to Hinata trying to get her to relax before dropping back to Kakashi's position. Hinata was always nervous going into a mission, yet she has proven she could handle herself when the time comes. As the eleven walked passed a puddle Naruto got a mischievous look; he turned around stopping the group. "Kuma-kun what are you do…Eeep?" Hinata asked before turning back as Naruto pull out his third leg.
Kiba was laughing at their reactions growing up with Kuma he knew Kuma didn't care if he was around women he was just comfortable with his body. Kurenai and Kakashi kept a composed face as they knew what he was up to, but Kurenai turned around slowly to not watch. Sakura just stared as Shino pulled out a camera and coughed every time the click noise was made.
Naruto was peeing on the puddle, yet it was only hitting the younger brother. "Stay calm little bro there are two jonin with them we can't attack." The little brother was becoming extremely pissed off and was about to lose it when the stream went over to his big brother. "WE KILL…NO MORE TALK WE KILL."
"No we don't have the skills to face those two so let us wait and regroup with Zabuza-sama." 'Okay with me getting peed on, but when it's you we kill.'
Naruto's stream died and he shook off the excess. Naruto turn to his sensei with a look that said I tried. 'I guess they won't be goaded into attacking, but we now have an early warning.'
Night
XXX
Tazuna was drunk and no one wanted to carry him they all wanted to just get there. Four tents were set up. Kakashi and Tazuna shared one. The Uchiha thought it underneath him to bunk with his comrades set up his own personal tent. "Guess it is just us guys sharing a tent." Naruto stated loud enough so Sasuke could hear
"The cat is staying outside right?" Kiba's eyes pleaded, but Kaname's glared.
(I was unable to be on my master's shoulders all day and I will be damned if I can't sleep in the same tent!) Her sleeping spot was on Naruto's stomach which he would rub throughout the night and she would only give up the spot to Kagemaru or Hakarimaru when they had a nightmare, but other than that it was her spot. Kiba then volunteered to keep first watch and Akamaru followed his partner shaking his head.
"So Shino-kun let's get some sleep." Naruto turned to enter the tent when he heard Hinata speak.
"Kuma-kun Shino is…"
"Going to the restroom first; I will meet you in the tent." Naruto nodded and went in a very large tent followed by his three partners. Shino turned to Hinata. "I will tell him, but it would be rude to leave him alone in a tent." It was said in the usual stoic tone, yet Hinata could hear a lecherous undertone around rude. Shino waited a while before entering the tent. Hinata had a quick blush, ping of jealousy and enter the tent Kurenai and Sakura was in.
Morning
XXX
Naruto had a weird dream he was cracking a safe with a big squishy dial that moaned as he got the numbers right. He awoke to see Shino was gone. Exiting and resealing his tent he saw Shino leaving the girls tent. "Shino, why are you coming out the girls' tent?"
"I was in there because I am a…"
"OUT THE WAY NIISAAAAN!" Naruto was pushed to the ground by a frantic, half naked Kiba who was running from a very pissed, wet Kaname followed by laughing Kage, Hakari, and a worried Akamaru. Naruto stood up dusting dirt off.
"Excuse me while I go save Kiba." Naruto dashed off. "Kiba use a towel for once BAKA!"
Nearing a river
XXX
Kiba had a few scratches and was walking ten steps ahead of Naruto who was holding Kaname while Kagemaru was draped over the shoulders of Hakari. (Why am I carrying you Niisan?)
(Because I am your Niisan and I would do the same for you if you weren't so fat.) Hakarimaru had a tick mark as rolled over squashing Kage. Sakura walked up next to Naruto.
"So Kuma-san how was your night with Shino?" Naruto gave her an extremely confused look as Shino, Hinata, and Kurenai came closer to listen.
"It was like any other night I did have a weird dream I was fiddling with something soft." Kurenai looked at Shino and mouthed something that made Shino turn to hide a blush. Naruto held Kaname out in front turning her to face him. "Kaname-chan are you getting fat?"
Scratch, Bonk, Bonk, Bonk
Naruto had scratches as Kurenai, Sakura, and Shino were nursing their hands. 'What is his head made of?'
Naruto looked at Kaname who decided to walk on her own. "Sorry Kaname-chan for saying such a thing." The cat nodded and continued walking as Naruto turned to the three who decided to hit him. "Kurenai-sensei is my teacher so she is given a right to correct me in such a manner, but you two only get one."
"We are coming up on the river where we will take a boat to… oh no." Tazuna froze as he saw the small boat and a man were bifurcated. Sakura paled as she saw the man's torso lying on the ground near the water and barely kept herself from throwing up.
"I smell my piss. You two do know that it means both of you are my bitches." A rock that was in front of Naruto puffed in smoke revealing two shinobi connected by a chain ran around Naruto. With an unseen smirk due to masks they ran towards the other Genin.
"Now you're dead fuc…" They felt tension that should have been their chain cutting through him, but they couldn't move forward. They turned to see their chained wrapped around what could only be described as a metal statue.
"The demon brothers!" Kakashi said with mock surprise. "Why are two B ranked Missing-Nin trying to kill us? Well I get Kuma he peed on both of you." They weren't too surprised they were noticed by the Jonins of the group.
"You think this is a problem?" One of the masked men asked as they heard a click and one detached running towards Sakura. Kakashi looked on to see what would be her reaction or the rest of his team. Sakura froze seeing the man run towards her; Kakashi saw that Sasuke was just watching with a sick grin. Hinata raced to help the girl tackling her as the clawed gauntlet swiped at them. Sasuke made his move as the man was paying attention to the two he delivered a kick to the man's head sending him towards the river.
Naruto felt the chain start unwrap as the other start to move away from him. Naruto grab the chain filling it jerk as the man came to an abrupt stop. "Tunneling Fang" was heard as Kiba slammed into the shinobi tearing him in two; his body dispelled to show a destroyed log. "Where did he go?" Kiba asked as he landed on all fours and feral looking.
Naruto stopped channeling chakra to his skin making it become its original color. Taking a whiff he pointed to where the other had landed. Both were standing with the one rubbing his head. 'We can't take them all we are having too much trouble with the kids and if that is any indication we would lose badly if the Jonin get involved.' A hand went up and all of them heard something heading towards the builder fast. Naruto released his seals not taking a chance and tackled the builder taking the wind out of him as a large blade passed over them imbedding it half-way through a tree.
"That brat is fast is he your student "Copycat" Kakashi or is he the "Mistress of Illusions" Kurenai's?" A disembodied voice called out.
"Demon of the hidden mist Zabuza why are you here?" 'Why is he here at the most we expected chunin level resistance, but now this has just become an A-rank mission.'
Everyone turned to where the blade was imbedded to see a tall man standing on the handle. He was smirking at the Genin letting his Killing intent wash over them. Hinata, Shino, and Sakura fell on their butts as they stared in terror. Kiba bit into his hand to calm himself posing to fight, but he really wanted to flee fast. Naruto and Sasuke were standing, but it brought back traumas for them both. A blank ANBU mask flashed before Naruto's eyes and rage began building.
Mindscape
XXX
The Kyubi was in her human form hoping to get through the bars to hug her child, but an invisible force kept her from passing through and rushing to his side. His body stood still in the water when he was in the real world. She tried calling out to him, but she was drowned out by a banging. Around the corner of her cage was a hallway that only led to one door covered in seals, chains, and boards. Every bang caused boards to crack as the ink on the seals changed to form twisted, sinister, looking smiley faces. She clasped and began praying. (Please hold he is not ready to remember. I need to find his happier memories.)
In the real world
XXX
Naruto rubbed his head as he felt a painful migraine unbeknown to him; he was covering his eyes that were glowing red through his sunglasses. Sasuke was trembling looking up to Zabuza with an overlay of his brother he knew he was unprepared to face him yet and to die at the hands of some missing-nin would bring shame to his clan. Sasuke brought the blade from his pouch and started bringing up to his throat. Kakashi noticed both of them "Kuma, Sasuke nothing is going to happen to either of you! You have my word." He turned back to look at the man. "You are outnumbered, you should really think about surrendering or just leaving."
A smirk could be seen through his bandages. 'I can take Kakashi and Kurenai, but those two brats could pose a problem if they try to get involved. Haku will have to keep them busy.' He brought a hand to his lips and whistled. In a matter of moments another shinobi or Kunoichi hard to tell with the gender neutral outfit was standing in front of the tree. Whoever it was they were wearing Hunter-nin gear.
"What is your order Zabuza-sama?"
"Keep those two brats out of my way."
"As you wish."
Kakashi raised his hand to his eyes revealing his sharingan to the surprise of their resident Uchiha. "Shino, Kiba handle the Demon Brothers, Kuma and Sasuke the fake hunter-nin, and Sakura you and Hinata keep the bridge builder safe."
"Kage, Hakari, Kaname protect him as well." Naruto ordered his partners and Kiba ordered Akamaru. Zabuza vanished with his sword and appeared with the hunter-nin next to the Demon Brothers as they prepared to engage the Konoha ninjas. Both sides were still as to size up one another and they sprang to life. Zabuza backpedalled onto the river as the as Kakashi followed him. Kurenai stayed on the shore to cast genjutsu.
Zabuza ran through some hand signs. "Water style: Riptide Vertex no Jutsu" Water began to spin around him and rise to block him from view. The water was moving so fast it would rip flesh as if it was a serrated belt sander.
Kakashi slid to a stop as he finished his hand signs. "Water style: Shark Frenzy no Jutsu" Five sharks of water shot from the river hitting the spinning wall exploding sending water into the sky. Water fell as Kakashi saw that Zabuza was no longer there. He jumped flipping over the giant blade as it tried to cleave him from underneath. Zabuza rose from the water and rushed towards Kakashi swinging the slab of iron down. Kakashi pulled out two kunai stopping the blade before it made contact with his hair.
Kurenai watched as the two looking for the best time to cast only for something to shoot out the water. She rolled as a figure landed. "Can't have you messing with their battle."
"So he made a water clone to keep me company. Great." Water clones were immune to chakra based genjutsus due to the chakra passing through them. On a scale they ranked number two on the elemental clone list. Their benefits ability to move freely through water, in order to burst them one needs to break the surface tension, and besides genjutsu immunity if the controller has Kage level of chakra control, they can morph their anatomy.
The draw backs they need to stay within controllable distance, divides the focus of the user, and needs jonin level chakra control to maintain. She pulled out a kunai on a chain that was decorated with a lot of colors. 'I have to thank Kuma-kun for being a test dummy.' Kurenai thought as she began to spin it.
Kiba and Shino
XXX
Haku moved left staying near the water as Naruto and Sasuke move to engage. The demon brothers dash towards the two genin in hopes of taking them out fast, so they could kill the one that peed on them.
Shino and Kiba were not really teammates, but their instincts were good enough to tell when they were too close to stepping on each other's toes. Shino has worked with Kuma who has a modified Inuzuka fighting style which is a free flowing hit and run tactic. Shino was using the bugs to cause a distraction as Kiba landed a barrage of quick hits. When Kiba was close he caught a whiff of poison coming from their gauntlets, but Kuma's gift protected his body and if he was wearing the gloves and head gear he would be protected from head to toe. He could handle them without them.
The bugs were clouding their vision and were draining their chakra. They tried swatting, but the bugs were the second smallest within the clan and the most durable. To kill one of them they would have to be caught between two objects. Shino order the bugs to get right in their eyes as they tried to rid themselves of the insects.
"Tunneling fang" was all the two heard as the younger brother gauntleted arm was clawed from his shoulder. The older brother heard the scream of pain and knew who it was.
With Naruto and Sasuke
XXX
Naruto and Sasuke were good by themselves, but together they were at a disadvantage. Sasuke seemed still slightly shaken from Zabuza's killing intent and it didn't help he was in pride mode. As the hunter-nin dashed away the fake threw senbons keeping Naruto at a distance as Sasuke tried to land a round house only to connect with the air. "Teme you are not going to catch him… her. You're not fast enough."
"He is right. Both of you should give up." Haku said in a voice that did not help in the ongoing debate in Naruto's head on is it a guy or not. More senbons were thrown in Naruto to deter him from getting too close ignoring Sasuke who felt like he was being toyed with.
"I don't see you doing any better mutt." He scowled at Kuma for his insulting his skills.
Naruto showed his speed earlier and his iron chakra bloodline even though it is one of his bloodlines it is the only one he could rely on with Sasuke around. He showed he was a bigger threat to whoever this person was, but why isn't this person actually trying to hit him? 'If only I could be a little bit fas…' Naruto mentally smacked himself as he made the sign. "Four Legs Technique" Naruto became more feral looking as he dashed in close as the new burst of speed caught the fake hunter-nin by surprise, but the fake quickly recovered as the two now engaged in close combat. Naruto swiped with his bone clawed hand as it was met with the senbon wielding Shinobi.
"He became faster." Haku said while dodging a swipe from his hand.
The hunter-nin tried to counter by stabbing a pressure point with a needle only to receive a kick to the midsection causing some distance as Naruto pulled the Bee out of his glove. He brought the short blade to have it clash with the fake's senbon. Those things were stronger then they look.
Sasuke was slower than the fake and Kuma as the two were fighting hand to hand. He couldn't stand being ignored and started shooting off fire jutsu.
One question was on Naruto's mind as he let loose the fire 'Who's side is he on?' Sasuke let loose a barrage of fire balls through Fire style: Phoenix Flower no Jutsu forcing Naruto to dodge not wanting to slow himself down by armoring up, so he could dash back into a fist fight. The hunter-nin's was slower than Naruto, yet the fake's reaction time was faster. The hunter-nin was dancing through the flames throwing senbons. Whoever this person was they had experience fighting faster opponents and more battle experience because those damn needles were getting too damn close as Naruto felt the intent to immobilize him.
Sasuke could have noticed that he was only hindering Kuma if he cared. Sasuke just needed some more speed and he could show them both that they should bow to the might of the Uchiha. 'If I had my eyes all would bow to my might. Itachi will pay for his betrayal to the plan.'
'Wh…lan…was it?' A jumbled voice called out stopping the volley flames as it echoed through his mind. As he held his head Naruto saw that the fire was no longer being shot pretty much at him, he made his move dodging the needles that were now grazing him.
Naruto blade clashed again with the fake's needle. As they were lock they felt that neither of them felt intent to do actual harm. 'Is this really a fight?'
"You are well trained…Kuma was it?"
"You seem to have me at a disadvantage. What is your name if I may ask?" Naruto applied more pressure with a smirk.
"You should give your full name before asking others." Haku stated trying to push the blade back to no avail.
"I don't want to be rude so my full name is Inuzuka Kaguya Kuma, now your…" Naruto felt Killing intent flow towards him.
"You. Are. A. Kaguya!" The voice was now clearly a girl which meant he was now facing an angry Konoichi. She jumped back the needles in her hands became swords of ice. "For your clan's crimes I will now end you monster!" Venom was flooding the word monster and when she uttered it she saw Kuma's eyes glow crimson through his sunglasses. It was as if his Iris was floating in a sea of darkness and hatred was flowing off of him.
'She calls me a monster. She wants to kill me because of things I was not a part of!' Naruto was beyond pissed he had to stomach the villagers abuse if he wanted to live, but he would be damned if he would take it from someone outside of the village. Naruto was radiating killing intent.
"KILL THIS BITCH!" A voice called out for blood in his head which sounded like his own, but filled with so much hatred. Naruto's body gave off a wave of bloodlust before settling back to killing intent.
'MAKE HER PAY FOR THOSE WHITE MASK BASTARDS THAT TOOK HER AWAY FROM US.' Another voice called out it held anger, but didn't have that bloodlust.
'FUCKING KIIILLLL HER!' Naruto dropped the bee having it stick into the ground. Bone spikes protruded from his knuckles coated in iron chakra making them look metallic. Chakra encased both his arms as he bared his fangs. Bloodlust flared again.
Sasuke shook the weird feeling, but was then hit by Naruto's killing intent which reminded him of his own the day he lost everything which brought a thought to him. 'What happen to you Kuma?'
Then the mist began to come in.

"NARUTO PLEASE CALM DOWN! Please Sochi don't give into hate." She fell to her knees crying as her voice was still being drowned out by the banging. So much was taken from him because of her and she again couldn't comfort him. The happiest day of her life since being seal was when she could finally speak to her child when he was facing Hakari's mother and his mind became too chaotic for her to be heard; she was struck with fear it was back to the silence. Silence of being forced to watch him get hurt over and over again alone with her thoughts of it is all my fault. She was here again the only comfort was letting out her tears.
"Don't cry Ka-san." She stood and looking through the bars to see Naruto, but it was a four year old, white see through Naruto. His voice held innocence the only thing throwing off the whole fell was the black tendril attached to his back. "Rage and I are doing what needs to be done in order for Naruto-Sama to be whole."
"Who are you… as in what are you?" She asked wiping tears from her face.
"I am Bliss and this… " The entity now known as Bliss held out a white orb. "Holds Naruto-Sama's happy memories." The orb floated into her hands. "Well it is what we could get through the weakening mental seal. My time is up, next time you will meet Rage." The boy faded as the tendril returned down the hall and back into the door.
Behind the door
XXX
"Did you give Ma the memories?" A shadow figure spoke eyes glowing crimson.
"Yes and we made her cry."
"Small price in the grand scheme we will apologize after we stomp a new mud hole in Danzo's ass."
"I may be happiness, but when you try to take Naruto-Sama's away you really piss me off."
"Sometimes you scare me. We have to prepare and beware of that psychotic bastard Yami. He piggy backed on the anger and that's my thing. "
Kakashi and Kurenai moments earlier
XXX
Kurenai was dodging the clone while spinning her weapon. It was confusing to the clone until it felt its' limbs get heavy and it stopped moving. "What the hel…?" Was all the clone able to get out as she threw the kunai piercing the clone turning it into a puddle.
"Now to help Kakashi-senpai." She stated as she put away her weapon and began to run through some hand sign.
Kakashi and Zabuza were on the water which would have meant advantage Zabuza if Kakashi wasn't just as well versed in water style jutsu as a Kirigakure shinobi. Zabuza was focused on Kakashi, but then his head turned slightly. Zabuza did the stance for the Hidden Mist no Jutsu. Kurenai cursed as the mist was chakra infused which now meant she had to get close in order to cast a genjutsu affectively.
'I was a few hand signs away from ending this.' Kurenai grabbed her weapon again and used her sensory skills to locate Kakashi still standing on the river, but the signature she could only identify as Zabuza was making a mad dash towards… Kuma's location? She then felt Kakashi move towards Tazuna and the girls believing Zabuza was going after the builder.
"Kakashi he is going after Sasuke and Kuma!" She shouted as she ran to help her student.
Naruto and Sasuke
XXX
Naruto dashed towards his opponent swinging his fist connecting with the hunter-nin's ice blades.
'He is too strong.' Haku thought as she tried to stand her ground, but was flew onto the river tumbling and sliding onto the surface until she stopped in a crouch position. Haku looked her blades as they were broken to the hilt. 'He can break my ice.' Haku's eyes widened under her mask.
Naruto was about to run after her until he heard metal scraping against stone. Naruto swung his fist connecting with the blade of iron shattering the tip as Zabuza, but he was able to land a kick to Naruto's chest making him fall on his back as he was now top heavy.
Zabuza raised his blade to cut the brunet boy in two, but had to jump back as a swarm of shurikens passed by. He landed next to Haku. "Is that kid really one of them?"
"I am sure. His nails when they elongated were not the same as his brother's and he is still bipedal after activating the same jutsu either because he can't use it to the same extent or his bloodline has altered it. Also, before his arm became encase in what I believe is an advanced armor jutsu spikes formed from his knuckles."
Naruto stood up eyes were back to normal, but they became wide at how much she did see. 'She must be strategic type like the Nara clan who I have to stay away from.'
"One of the reason you are useful. You are very observant." Zabuza stated as he looked at his blade as for the circle up was gone. "The kid has some serious strength." 'But I definitely felt some wicked bloodlust from the kid.'
"I can handle him Zabuza-Sama. You just worry about the Jonin." Before he could say anything she dashed towards Naruto. He was about to stop her, but Kakashi appeared in front of him delivering a flying kick to his chest. "No one tells Gai I used Dynamic entry."
Somewhere in Konohagakure
XXX
A man with a bowl hair cut started cry. "Sensei, why are you crying?" A girl with buns asked with an annoyed look.
"These are tears of joy for someone has been inspired by my YOU-OWWWW!" He wasn't able to finish as blades rained from the sky.
Hinata and Sakura
XXX
"Sakura are you okay?" Hinata asked as Sakura was sweating and swaying slightly.
"I… d-don't know." She said as she was feeling drained of energy more than usual thanks to her mother.
Hakarimaru took a sniff of Sakura. (Niisan, she smells like Uncle Anko and Ka-san, but doesn't look healthy.)
Kagemaru took a sniff as well. (That's because she has been poisoned little bro! I will go get Tou-san you and Kaname-chan try and get Hinata-san attention!) With that said Kage raced off towards Naruto.
Kiba and Shino
XXX
"Little brother what happened?!" the older one asked in worry as he was still blinded by the bugs.
"They RIPPED OFF MY ARM!" The younger one yelled as he reached blindly into his cloak and pulled out a vile opening it with his thumb and splashing it on his wound. Pain shot through his body as the wound closed, but it didn't stop there. His body began to grow and change.
Kiba and Shino watched in horror as the once human man became what could only be described as an abomination.
Kakashi and Kurenai
XXX
Another Zabuza water clone was going after Kurenai hard. She was a distance fighter and he knew that. She was spinning her kunai again and it was taking longer to hypnotize as she had to dodged by rolling into its' blind spots. She kept it spinning, but she needed to be in front.
Kakashi was mirroring Zabuza's movement to the letter and was about to engage again, but both stopped as they heard a roar. The three Jonin all thought. 'That sounds like no creature I heard.'
Naruto and Sasuke
XXX
Sasuke was more cooperative and instead of firing off unfocused attacks he was forcing the fake hunter-nin into close combat, but that didn't stop the kunoichi from throwing senbons.
Naruto calmed down and dodged as more needles were thrown. As he was turning to face the hunter-nin again, a cold fist connected with his face knocking his sunglasses and it hurt like hell. Naruto swung his fist as he felt the twinge and connected with the mask causing a crack revealing her brown eye. As Naruto looked into her eye he felt she knew pain similar to his.
If Haku was not clouded by anger she would have noticed his, but their fight was stopped by the roar as well. "What creature makes such a horrendous noise?"
Kagemaru appeared next to Sasuke. (Tousan come quick we need help!) With that said the pup raced back to his first location. Naruto turned back to see Zabuza and the huntress was gone.
"We need to help Hinata-chan and Sakura-Ch-san protect the bridge builder!" Naruto yelled out and raced to them he caught a scent on the wind and had the feeling as if he knew this scent.
Underground Lab a day ago
XXX
The clones took a big whiff and pulled out a lighter illuminating a small area. 'These are limbs, massive, decaying, limbs.' They were examining the body parts moving limbs out searching for a body and they found one.
