In an alley Nori and Yato was sitting on barrels with depressed faces.
"Not a single piece of useful information." Said Nori
"Not a single trace." Said Yato
"Not a single clue."×2
"Are you sure no details have escaped your notice?" Asked Nori
"Master we had almost questioned everyone in the neighborhood and no one saw anything and there were no particular events in the last few months...wait master it's true there was a change in the neighborhood about a year ago." exclaimed Yato
Nori immediately hit him on the head...
"Silly! This is now that you remember."
"Ouch...but master, I don't think it has anything to do with the abductions."
"Every detail is important, kid, and stop calling me *master*." Says Nori.
"Yes sensei!!"
"ouch...ouch...sensei stoooop!"
....
.....
..
In front of a small, rather dilapidated building, Yato began to tell at Nori, the story of a doctor, coming about a year ago in the abandoned neighbourhoods.
The doctor's name was Shinnô, he opened a small clinic on the site of an old abandoned shoe shop, according to Yato he is a very gifted doctor, with extraordinary skills, he saved several people seriously injured and on the verge of death in the last year, making him admired and appreciated by everyone in the neighborhood, he was a very smiling and patient man who almost never asked for money.
Listening to Yato's story, Nori looked carefully at the small clinic where several locals came in and out with an interested expression and then entered the clinic.
After waiting for a few moments in a crowded room full of the sick and wounded, a male voice filled with kindness said
"Next."
Nori and Yato then entered a small room with two beds, some surgical instruments and pharmaceuticals in which there was an elderly man with long grey hair that flows out at the back, and muttonchops connected to his beard of the same colour. His eyebrows were thick and of a darker grey, but neatly trimmed, he also had yellow eyes with dark bags around them, and tear troughs under them, he wore a black shirt with a white gi with brown and blue edges over it, and further a sleeveless red jacket with gold sidings over that, and simple blue pants with a dark red bandanna, then with a kind and generous look and a little smile on his lips, he said
"How can I help you my friends."
"Are you Dr. Shinnô?" Asked Nori.
"I'd like to ask you a few questions about the recent disappearance of several children."
Hearing Nori's words, the facial expression of chino didn't flinch, he continued to smile and said
"I was also concerned about this case, I'd be happy to help you."
Then after a short interrogation, Nori greeted the doctor with a smile and left the clinic with Yato.
"We've wasted our time again." Said yato with a sigh
"No, I think we have a lead." Says Nori with both eyes closed.
Thanks to his eye, he could see the expression of kindness disappearing from Dr. Shinnô's face in his clinic, as he opened a drawer and removed a key that he put in his pocket before resuming his kind smile and continuing another consultation.
...
.....
Night fell on the abandoned districts, the doctor shinnô closed the door of his clinic and began to walk through the alleyways, he made several detours before heading towards an old abandoned building far from the district.
He went to the back of the building, cleaned the floor with his shoes for a moment before revealing a trap door, put a key in a lock, turned it, then opened the trap door and went down a small tunnel.
Then he walked for a few seconds in front of a door, which he opened by executing several seals revealing dozens of explosive Tag stuck behind and a large room with a dozen children asleep in cages, strange substances in transparent glass jars, as well as various human organs.
He took several scrolls and put them in his pockets before placing explosive Tag all over the walls.
"Why would a Jonin from Konoha as famous as Nori Hisamatsu, who can injure and even kill Kage-level ninjas, care about my business, the plan must have been discovered, damn you great nation!" he whispered while placing more explosive Tag.
But suddenly a strong current of air passed through the tunnel quickly reaching the underground room before stopping behind Shinnô who stopped his actions.
"How did you find me, I was sure no one was following me." Asked Shinno slowly without turning around.
"Even though I'm one-eyed my eyes have never left you."
"You deserve your reputation." Slowly said Shinno
"My turn to ask a question, more than 34 children have gone missing in last months, but I only count 13, where are the others?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Shinno laughed madly and slowly turned his gaze to Nori with a wicked smile.
"You already know the answer, Nori of bloody storms." But before he finished his whole sentence a powerful kick hit him, throwing him against the wall.
Then Nori walked slowly towards him and drew his sword and with several slash cut him into several pieces, but his body was then replaced by a piece of wood.
"He took advantage of my kick to escape with a Dôton ninjutsu through the wall."
Then Nori looked at the caged kids for a while and one step, disappeared.
