"What do you mean Naruto has disappeared!?" Hiruzen all but yelled out, his entire demeanor changing, no longer looking like the elderly grandfather, but now, he was looking like he was ready to kill a man.
In front of him, was the quivering figure of Kakashi, and off to the side of him was Tsume Inuzuka and her ninken partner, Kuromaru - both of whom had been summoned by one of the ANBU - they were also radiating displeasure and anger. Kuromaru was barring his teeth and even growling lowly, despite spending such a short amount of time with the little Naruto, he had grown to enjoy him, considering that little baby Hana, and Tsume had taken a liking to him as well, which meant that he was OK in his book.
Speaking of little Hana, she had been put to bed and being looked after by one of the clansmen back at the compound.
"I-I headed back to the orphanage, Naruto was gone from his crib!" Kakashi yelped out, despite his half of his face being covered by the mask, that didn't stop his eyes from showing the sheer amount of panic and fear that he had.
Despite becoming the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history, and from being a prodigy in the field of battle, that didn't mean that he was completely immune to the overbearing KI of the 'Kami no Shinobi'.
Even Kuromaru was starting to inch away from him, with the fact that Kakashi was reeking of sweat.
"Kuromaru, Tsume, you will join us, we need to find Naruto, and quickly." Hiruzen ordered, before seemingly disappearing without a trace, when in actual fact, he used the Shunshin no Jutsu, it was just that he was so good at it that he did it without the smoke or leaves, giving it the appearance that he disappeared in pure speed.
Quickly following the Kage, Kakashi used a brief hand seal before he disappeared in a whirl of leaves.
Looking down towards her ninken partner, Tsume couldn't help but feel saddened at the news that had just been recieved. Not only had her boyfriend... ex-boyfriend now, leave her after giving birth to Hana, and leaving her as a single parent, but now the baby that she had become so smitten with was now missing, "Come on, Kuro. We need to hurry." She ordered, before disappearing in a swirl of leaves, much like Kakashi.
Growling lowly once more, the anger that Kuromaru was showing was palpable, "I swear, whoever did this, I promise you that I will kill you slowly." He muttered out, just imaging all the ways that he could kill the person who dared take Naruto, who had managed to worm his way into his heart.
Once he spoke of his threat, he moved with speed unmatched by most to catch up to his distraught partner.
xXx
Appearing in front of the orphanage, Tsume let herself calm down slightly, before taking a glance at the orphanage that was in front of her. While it wasn't the most... prettiest of buildings, nor was a place that many ever wanted to live in, it was the sad reality for children, either their parents simply left them there, being unable to care for them, or sometimes they were found on missions and were recovered and brought into the village to be raised here.
The building was at least three stories tall, and from the outside, seemed to be relatively up to date with the building code, however, there were still many little holes and indents in the walls, along with the frames of the windows on the first floor being a little dilapidated, however, other than that, there was nothing else to really point out.
Other than the fact that it had been untouched - thankfully - during the Kyuubi's rampage. However, she didn't even want to think about how many more young children would have to be placed within its walls from the attack.
Shaking her head away from those minor thoughts, Tsume allowed herself to be able to concentrate on the unique chakra signitures of Kakashi and Sarutobi. Managing to detect where they were located - on the second floor - she gazed upwards and saw that one of the windows were open, and she could faintly hear the sound of footfalls, preparing herself to jump onto the window sill to enter the room that they were in.
However, before she could do that, she was stopped when she heard her ninken partner, "Tsume!"
Turning around and seeing Kuromaru rapidly approaching, she gestured towards the open window, "They are in there, come on, we can't waste anymore time, every moment counts." She stated, a tinge of urgency in her voice, before leaping up towards the window sill and entering into the room.
"Ugh, I'm getting too old for this." He muttered out, before he approached the side of the building and started to climb it, using his claws to find the small dents or holes on the wall to climb up towards where his partner just entered.
xXx
Once inside the room, Tsume was greeted by the Hokage and Kakashi, both of them looking around the room, double - no - triple checking every little nook and cranny to see if they can find something of value towards the whereabouts of Naruto, possibly even something that they missed the first time.
"Any luck?" Tsume questioned out, as she closed her eyes and took a few whiffs of the room. It didn't smell pleasant, especially not with her heightened senses, which were shared by her fellow clansmen and clanswomen. However, apart from the smell of cleaning products, and lingering smells that were probably rotted into the walls and floors of the room, she really couldn't smell anything off.
Perhaps Kuromaru would have more luck, considering that he probably had the best sense of smell within the entire village and out of all the ninken partners of the Inuzuka clan.
"None. Whoever done this took every single precaution." Sarutobi stated, heaving a large sigh of regret. Regret for not keeping Naruto within the meeting room. He also felt regret for the fact that not only did he feel like he let his predacessor down, but also his wife and Kushina, "Smell anything?" He asked, his eyes pleading and a large amount of hope heard within his voice.
"I can't. Perhaps Kuromaru could." Tsume answered, shaking her head sadly at the Hokage.
"We can only hope." He muttered out.
"Hokage-sama." Kakashi's voice broke the silence, instantly, Hiruzen was alert once more.
"Yes?" He questioned out, before heading his way over to Kakashi, who was holding onto a piece of fabric across the room. Spotting the piece of fabric, he turned to face Tsume and gestured with his hand in a come-hither motion, which she followed as she too, spotted the fabric that Kakashi was holding onto.
Holding out the piece of fabric for Hiruzen to take, he held it up in the moonlight that was peaking through the open window on the other side of the room. He continued to inspect it, even running his finger across the fabric, almost like he was trying to picture where the fabric might've fallen off of.
Considering that it was black in color, and Kakashi was wearing a lighter shade of gray, along with his green Jonin-vest, it was clear that was instantly crossed out for offenders.
"Climbing buildings is something that I don't want to do again." Kuromaru panted out, placing his head down on the floorboards for a few moments to catch his breath. He had forgotten how hard it was to climb up buildings, especially when he was trying to be silent.
He hated to admit it, but he wasn't as young as used to be. Back when he was a small pup, he couldn't resist a good climb, now, in his older age - He was about 19, which is getting on in the years as a dog - climbing vertically was a challenge.
"Sorry, Kuro. I didn't want you running through the building and potentially waking everyone else up." Tsume apologised to her ninken partner, rubbing along the top of his head gently in reassurance.
"It's fine." He barked out, bringing his head away from the head pats he was recieving, "Got anything about the missing pup?" He asked those in the room, eyeing all three of them.
"We only have this, which Kakashi found by the crib." Hiruzen spoke out, bringing the small piece of fabric closer to Kuromaru, "Can you get anything from this?" He asked, wanting to know if the canine companion could pick up anything from the fabric.
"Hmm."
Taking a deep whiff of the piece of fabric, he closed his eyes as he concentrated on the smells that were currently assaulting his senses. Doing his best to dim the lingering smell of cleaning product and Kami know's whatnot within the room, he took a few moments to pinpoint the smells.
He could smell the scent of Kakashi on the fabric, which was obvious considering that he found the glove, and he smelt Hiruzen's scent, which had a distinct tabocco-like scent to it. However, as he took another deep inhale of the fabric, two more senses rushed towards him. One that was familiar, and one that was completely new to him.
"I can smell the pup on this fabric, along with one other that I cannot identify... it has a more... sweaty smell, and... distressed?" He answered, yet questioned at the same time, it was interesting for sure, not for the fact the person was sweating, but for the fact that he could also smell that he or she was distressed whilst doing so.
"That means they were a trained shinobi or kunoichi, and possibly didn't want to do this." He muttered out, rubbing his chin at that, he needed to keep an eye out for anyone that has been acting suspicious, or has been acting... off when he brings up this incident, and considering that only a select few knew of Naruto's condition, it would be rather easy to weed them out, "Could you track them down?" The Hokage, once more hope in his voice that they could track down whoever kidnapped Naruto, and hopefully, didn't kill him.
"I can try. The scent is new, so it means that this must have happened recently." Kuromaru answered in affirmative, nodding his head to go along with it.
xXx
Tracking down the scent was a little more easier than what Kuromaru first thought that it would be, considering that he would've thought that most scents that were further away from the village would've been diluted by the overwhelming toxicity of the Kyuubi's chakra or the death surrounding the area, but that was not the case.
However, as Kuromaru led Hiruzen, Kakashi and Tsume closer to where the scent was most strongest that contained both the pup's and the offender, a large pit formed within their stomachs and dread was slowly filling their very being as they slowly came closer to the ever looming large metallic fence-line that surrounded Training Ground 44, which was also known as the Forest of Death.
Like the name suggested, the Forest of Death was home to many plants and animals that were poisonous, and very deadly. With animals even being able to grow to sizes that were unbelievable for their species, one such creature that was known to inhabit the deadly forest was a massive centipede that was about twelve feet in length, and having some scientists perform tests on it, it was only considered a few months old.
Who knew how big an adult one would be, and it was a scary thought to even have!
There was also no real evidence about why the animals and flora seemed to grow to the sizes they did, however, it was speculated to be because of the unique ecosystem and all of the nutrients that had been untouched by man for decades.
"Are you sure the scent leads here?" Tsume questioned her partner, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened at the prospect of being so close to the very forest that were told as bad stories to keep little children behaved.
"I'm certain. However, we need to hurry, both scents are starting to diminish, and its starting to become cold." Kuromaru answered, before leaping over the massive fence-line and into the depths of the forest. Since the temperature is dropping, if Naruto was still alive in the forest, there would be a high chance that the cold will kill him if he isn't found quickly.
"Kakashi. You don't have to come into the forest." Hiruzen stated, looking at Kakashi with concern.
While he wasn't exactly a talkative person, Kakashi was being much more quiet and withdrawn, and one could see that this has hit him hard. Along with the guilt being nearly palpable from him.
Shaking his head at that, he barely even glanced towards Hiruzen, "No, I need to find sensei's son." He replied, before leaping over the large fence himself.
Sighing quietly to himself, he glanced over towards where Tsume was, but he found that she wasn't there, and instead, he could feel her faintly sense her chakra signiture a little further ahead of Kakashi's, 'Must've gone over right away.' He thought to himself, before he shook his head from those thoughts and he too, leapt over the fence-line and entered the infamous Forest of Death.
xXx
Appearing within a small clearing, Kuromaru and Tsume gazed around the area, both tense and ready for anything that might come out at them from the shadows of the shrubbery or tree lines, however, with them both sensing that nothing was in the immediate area, they allowed themselves to calm down slightly.
"Smell anything?" Tsume asked her partner, it was clear to tell that she was nervous, either about being so deep within the Forest of Death, or for the fact that the scent of Naruto stopped here if Kuromaru had stopped, and seeing him nowhere in sight did very little to help calm Tsume's nerves.
Closing his eyes once again, Kuromaru took a deep whiff of the area, trying to pinpoint the scents.
However, what he smelt caused him to frown lightly - if he could do that - because what he smelt was three different scents. With the one that he was following from the orphanage completely disappearing off the radar, but the other scents were from the pup, and from something else entirely, something feral and wild. The one that made him the most concerned however was the strong smell of iron in the air.
Continuing to make his way closer to the middle of the clearing, something else became apparent, nearly overlapping the scent of the pup. Opening his eyes and looking around for what caused it, he didn't have to look long for his eyes to land on a few splatters of blood.
Fresh blood, as it was still dripping down lightly from a few blades of grass.
Taking in the scent of the blood, Kuromaru became even more concerned when the blood had the scent of the pup that was within the council chambers mere minutes ago.
"Tsume, there is blood here!" He barked out, before he heard the rapid footfalls of Kakashi and Hiruzen, meaning that they had finally managed to catch up to them, and what he could smell from them, they were nervous as well.
As he continued to follow the scent of the blood, he eventually was led towards a rather large pile of shrubberies, with some of the leaves being coated in fresh blood. Looking around the shrubberies, he was about to turn around when something caught his attention in his peripheral vision, and it was a piece of blue fabric that was hidden behind the small gaps of the shrubs.
"Oh no." He muttered out, hoping against hope that it was not what he thought it was.
As he poked his head through the shrubs, he saw that it was a blue blanket that was lying on the floor, with many rips and tears in it, along with small blood splatters. Also adorning on the fabric were large globs of saliva, much too large and too frequent to be a baby's drool.
As he placed his nose against the fabric and smelt it, his fears were confirmed. It smelt of the little pup that Tsume had taken a liking to, however, that smell was being dominated by the same feral and wild scent from earlier.
Ears drooping down low as he gazed around the area for any sign of the pup, trying his best to hold out any hope that he was possibly still in the area, however, that was for naught as the sound of simple chirping from crickets and sounds of howling in the far distance greeted his ears.
Gently taking the worn and bloodied fabric in his maw, Kuromaru turned around and started to amble back towards the group. He was not looking forward to this, he didn't even want to think about how much that this would upset them.
However, if he would've simply stayed still and not be distracted by the discarded fabric, he would've seen a large she-wolf looking up at him, anger and distrust clear in its gaze, before it turned around, carrying a naked baby Naruto away from the area.
xXx
The she-wolf was suddenly up and alert, which stopped Naruto from suckling on her teat. He was about to make a noise, however, seeing how tense and guarded she was acting caused Naruto to be as quiet as possible as his 'mother' was scanning the area for any danger.
As the she-wolf sniffed the air a few times, she suddenly growled lowly as the hairs on her body went rigid, causing her to look larger and more intimidating then she actually was as she smelt differing emotions in the air, most of which were seeming to be a danger to her and her new 'pup'. Turning her attention towards the baby that had once again awoke her maternal instincts - but also imprinted herslef on the baby to be the one who was to feed him and care for him - she gently took off the wierd fabric that he was wearing and placed it on the ground just behind the shrubbery.
She didn't understand the weird fabric that these people wore. Not only did it seem counter-productive, but it must of made them uncomfortable!
However, an idea struck her, and she used her large claws to rip and tear into the fabric to get whoever was rapidly approaching the area to be thrown off or disheartened to continue. The blood splatters from when that terrible man cut her baby pup helped greatly!
Seemingly nodding to herself once her job was done, she gently used her teeth to pick up her 'pup' by the large fold of skin behind his neck - making sure to not hurt him in the process, and he didn't have an extra layer of fur - and carried him away from the area.
However, she didn't leave the immediate area, and instead, she placed her little pup down on her back as she gazed just above the shrubs a few feet back from the blanket. She watched with a critical eye as a large dog appeared in the area, and started to sniff the blanket and looked around the area, which caused her to narrow her eyes, thinking that he would continue to come closer.
Although, much to her relief, he took the piece of fabric within his mouth and turned around and headed back through the small area of shrubberies. Her ears twitched atop of her head as she heard other voices, much like the mans from earlier, however, she could tell from the pitch and tone that one was definitely not a male, but rather a female of the same species.
She stayed still for a few moments, feeling her new 'pup' cling onto her fur and snuggled further into her back for warmth. Knowing that was a sign that her new pup was either tired and cold or was still hungry, she turned around, careful to not make any noise whilst doing so - lest she get the attention of those in the area - and headed back towards her den, where she would once again feed her little darling and keep him warm for the night.
They had a lot to do in the morning!
