Chapter 9 - Address!

Boruto then headed towards the electricity office where electricity is distributed throughout the neighborhood. He went and spoke with a worker on break.

Bor: "Hi I'm Noir from land of Wind"

Worker: "Hi I'm Yusuke from this town"

Bor: "You seem to be working hard. Do people use electricity well in this Area"

Yus: "Yeah since it's a port city most of the areas drink electricity like water"

Bor: "True a bustling city like this needs an endless supply of electricity. Guess you're all working hard to keep it going"

Yus: "Yeah despite having the best electricity material sometimes things go wrong and we're always loaded with complaints in minutes whenever that happens"

Bor: "You guys must be pretty competent then. To be able to resolve such issues fast."

Yus: "Yes, we got pretty competent staff to respond to any changes at the earliest"

Boruto kept Yusuke engaged for some time and finally thought of asking for what he's after.

Boruto got close to Yusuke and slipped him a small cover containing 20 Gold coins. He then asked in a quiet tone "Can you give do me a favor and get me some information". Yusuke looked around and took the cover and kept it inside his clothes and asked.

Yus: "What do you want to know?"

Bor: "I want to know if there are any places that use way too much electricity without you guys knowing why they use soo much energy. Especially if they suddenly consume way too much electricity just for some time and the rest of the times it is normal."

Yus: "You're asking for too detailed information. It's hard to get that much details without-" as Yusuke was saying that Boruto showed another cover similar to the previous one and Yusuke stopped saying what he was saying.

Boruto just gave him a map of this city and said "Mark the places in this map. Don't leave anything out and hurry". Yusuke said "Wait" and went into the building after about an hour he returned with the map he was given.

Yusuke showed the map to Boruto and said "all the places maked with X are places which use high electricity. There were only 2 places where the electricity was spiked abnormally. The one marked over here is a Exhibition place so it happens. Don't know about the other but they use way too much current from 8 in the night to somewhere around 12. So, it didn't usually disrupt businesses as very few businesses are active at that time". Boruto was satisfied with this and passed him another cover with 20 gold. He then took the map and went away.

Boruto went near the place where the spikes happen and watched it from afar. He kept on watching from a long distance and he found a completely enclosed cart was going into it. He finally summoned toy sized Yumei and asked "What's in that Cart?".

Yumei yawned as soon as she was summoned and asked "Why'd you wake me for such a thing?". Boruto said slowly "I comman-". Before he completed Yumei stopped him saying that she'll comply and then she looked towards that Cart and she was surprised to find a kid in it. She conveyed it to Boruto as well "There's a small kid in it. She's tied up and is gagged as well"

Boruto said "Thanks that's all you can go back". But Yumei just stayed and didn't go back and when Boruto asked she said "You need to save that child". Boruto was somewhat shocked at how can she be so shameless after killing me for not combing my hair. 'Thanks to her I always check my hair multiple times everyday'.

Boruto didn't bother to ask anything and just said "I plan to do that" and left the place. She looked at the pitiful child and vanished after a few moments. Boruto directly went towards the meeting spot and reached in a few mins. The time was already 3:30. So he waited a bit.

Mitsuki appeared first and said "You're already here" and sat beside him, then Sarada came and poked fun of Boruto saying "Look who's got here first". Boruto responded with "Look who's here last" and finally Konohamaru also arrived. Everyone was there by 4.

As Konohamaru came everyone stood as if to assemble. Konohamaru asked "Any trouble?". All of them responded with a resounding "No".

Then he continued "I've got a few more details to share. It seems that the body I've told you about was alive. But he was killed immediately as he tried to approach a valuable cart as he was seen as a danger. This happened a few weeks ago and since that trader was a meticulous person he then sent the sample to lab and after obtaining the result he commissioned us to find and resolve it".

Kon: "Now let's see what you guys found out. First Mitsuki tell us what you found out"

Mit: "I've been to the slums first and found out that some people especially children started vanished about 2 months ago. then i investigated all the cases and found that most of the people who disappeared were working in the southern part of the city. So, I think we can narrow down a bit and maybe even set a trap for them."

Kon: "Good Job, Now let's hear from Sarada"

Sar: "I've been to the marketplace and found that there was nothing suspicious going on. But I've seen that at least a few Traders are not trying to move in the Night time. That's it"

Kon: "Good Job, it's not like you'll get a lead every where every time, we just gotta keep looking. Now Boruto"

Bor: "5th Right from the Marketplace, then 2nd last left and 4th Building named House of Cards".

Kon: "What's that?"

Bor: "Address"

Kon: "Address of?"

Bor: "Lab"

Kon: "How'd you know?"

Bor: "Because they use way too much electricity in the night"

Kon: "That's it?"

Bor: "I've also seen a cart carrying a kid being carried inside"

Konohamaru was flustered and said in a hurry "Why are being so carefree of it. We should rush to rescue that child".

Bor: "No need. They usually do it from 8 in the night so that Businesses wont be impacted from electricity shortage. So we still got 3 hours at least".

Seeing Boruto who was usually being carried along by Sarada and Mitsuki doing such a wonderful job all of them are shocked. Mitsuki collected himself in a few seconds and went and released Boruto from Genjutsu. Only that Boruto was not under Genjutsu.

Boruto didn't know what to do when his own teammates trust him soo little. Konohamaru also calmed down after a few mins and said "Let's go see the location and strategize"

Somewhere in a Bar, an intoxicated rich young man cried out loudly because his bag is filled with stones instead of Gold coins.
