Chiyo Pov
                          
We follow the medic down a hallway, "This way please." I glance around at the room where in then turn my attention to the blue sheet covering the body. "What are they doing to him?" 
                          
"Where putting his body back together." Ino shivers a little, "Do they really have to do that?" I turn to her, "The reports say that he had the paper bombs on his body so I assume that he was left in really bad shape. And if we have any hope of getting a clue as to why he was here we need to have something to work with."
                          
I walk closer to the table, "I'll help them here Sakura, Ino you two can go wait outside until where done here okay." Ino nods, "Ya I think I will." I look over toward Sakura who had her eyes closed, "I'll stay." I smile a little, "You will?" But Sakura doesn't answer instead she comes by my side and Ino glances at us then walks out.
                          
"You are very dense about things kid it's almost painful to watch." I grow confused, "What do you mean Touma?" But the only response I get is a very deep sigh so I shrug of his comment, what does he mean dense? I'm not dense about anything.....am I? 
                          
Sakura was asking me questions here and there, to which I happily answered. Things where going smoothly when an anbu appears, "Chiyo-hime, Lady Hokage has sent for you." Taking my gloves off, I turn to Sakura, "Well I got to go I'll leave things here to you and Ino Sakura, I'm counting on you." She nods determined, "Don't worry I've got things covered."
                          
I body flicker to Kaachan's office and scare Shikamaru a little, "Good now that you're both here we suspect that the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls was the one who sent Genno here." I frown a little, "They've moved all their ninja into battle ready position, apparently they're claiming it's just a normal training exercise." I scoff and cross my arms over my chest, "Training exercise my ass." Kaachan gives me a pointed look to which I shrug my shoulders at with an innocent smile. 
                          
"They've used this tactic before assemble all their forces under the guise of a  big practice run and end up invading another land." Shizune speaks up, "And there's more to it than that, apparently just before he arrived here Genno briefly stayed there in there village." Shikamaru rubs his head, "We've already mobilized most of our ninja. They're on their way to the Waterfall village now, if they see anyone crossing the border I told them to treat it as a full-scale enemy invasion." I close my eye's, "Shikamaru, take your group and head over to assist." 
                          
"Kaachan there is no reason for us to go." Shizune lightly gasp, "What are you getting at Chiyo?" I smile a little, "Sending in 10 genin and 2 chunin isn't going to make that much of a difference in the long hall. I think I've already said something to you but something doesn't sit will with me about this whole thing." 
                          
Shikamaru sighs, "I have to agree with Chiyo we're missing something about this guy, Genno and I think I've figured out what it is. All we've learned about his life is that he was remarkably unremarkable, he was an average carpenter, did his work, never stood out, never made any big mistakes. He didn't have any friends but he didn't have any enemies either, if he ever disappeared no one would miss him. They wouldn't think twice about him, he was the kind of person who could just fade away. His undercover technique was so good it should be in the shinobi textbook, which is weird that a brilliant shinobi like him let himself get pegged by anbu so easily. Doesn't it seem a little strange to you? And I'm sure Chiyo has figured it out as well."
                          
I smile, "Well I got to let you take the spotlight sometimes." He shakes his head at me, "And then when he was trying to escape he had no problem evading the anbu before, but this time they caught him. For a trap expert its a pretty pathetic way to go not to mention the fact he just gave up all those blueprints. It doesn't make any sense unless everything's that's happen was apart of the plan from the beginning."
                          
I look at Shika, wow it's a no brainer why he slept his school days away. Hell I probably would have too, and that's why Sumi probably does it seeing as she already knows a lot. Luckily Kaachan lets us stay so I head back to the hospital. 
                          
Maybe if I'm lucky they've already put the body back together. Much to my please they just finished, "I'm back did you find anything?" Sakura motions me over, "Chiyo come take a look." My eyes widen without having to lift up the sheet, "His hand its way to clean for a carpenter, Hinata uses you're Byakugan." She nods, "This person couldn't have been a ninja they don't have a developed chakra network, and I over heard the medical team even they weren't sure about the identity."
                          
I grit my teeth, "You three go report this to Shikamaru now! I have to go!" I rush out the hospital before they can say anything, damn it I'm such a baka! I burst threw the doors just as I see a bird drop something. Shit I may be too late!
