The Tracking Grounds is one of Sunagakure's better kept secrets, of recent construction this is considered to be a training area for Ranger hopefuls. Various wild environments are in housed by a series of fences, with a great pentagon in the middle. Rangers train themselves against the elements and wildlife here as they seek to become one with nature. Each environment has the crest of the Rangers residing above it, and each crest is a different color representing what environments one can expect within. Animal cries can be heard from within, whether these animals are prey or companions only a Ranger would know.
The building would be large if one saw what they expected, however ascribed within the beams and fences of this establishment is a series of ancient seals that were thought to be lost to the old Journeyman Order which was recently revived. The actual area is quite expansive, covering miles of terrain but it is housed on less than an acre of property. You see, it is larger on the inside than it is on the outside.
There is a total of five distinct biomes as well as an administrative office. The crime would be found in the Administrative Office.
The administrative office is a small, rather neat place that serves as an entrance into the honeycomb-like bimoes beyond. So yes, the entryway into the further biomes was where the murder transpired shortly after dawn. The Administrative Office was not a particularly heavily trafficked area but it still took a lot of gall to kill a man in a place where there would be likely intervention. The victim was none other than 22 year old Haku Kaji, a member of the main house Haku family found nailed to the wall. His gut was cut open and a length of intestine was hanging out. His hands and his feet were nailed to the wall with nine inch long nails, they appeared to be the sort of thing used by construction workers, perhaps the ones working on the wall. Stuffed in his mouth was a note that made a request of the investigator: I want to play a game. Find me! It was written in red ink, but that was not the only thing one would find in this room, they would see numbers written on the walls in the victim's blood. 1̧̺̣̱̰͙̖̙̙̥̮̞͍̠̼͟͜͢ on the wall to the right of the body. 2̛̥̞͕͍̫̪̬̳̻̮̻ written on the wall directly across from the body. 3͏̴̦͙̞̭̲͖̦̪͇̬̗̰̝̻͚̀ written on the wall to the left of the body and finally written in already dried blood over the victim's head it said Ḇ̷̶̸̭͕̪̲̗ͅr̵͎̺̭̬̼̼̳̻͚̮̹̯̺̠͕͎ę̴̴̳̪̮̠̥̤̹̞̹͔̦͖̥̹̼͙̺͘ͅá̷̧̤̗̯̹̪̹̣̼̺͈̼̬̫̭k̶̷̠̦̼̩͚̲͍͈̪͘ͅ ̧̢͇̻̪̹̟̬̪̖̪̫̺̦̀͢͝M̷̷҉̨̱͖̹̦̼ͅe̷͟͟͝͏̬̘͈̩̩̤̰̯̺̗̱̳̞͙̜̜!͉̮̦̲̙̜͔̟̟̟̀͜͞͞͠ͅͅ.
There were no witnesses with this victim and it was obvious that the killer wanted this body found, the door was unlocked and this macabre display was meant to be assessed, the question is WHY?
This is one of 4 threads, each thread I will be posting in every Thursday (excluding this one) so feel free to join a thread. These Event threads are all connected, I have no qualms with players joining multiple threads if they want to use their noodles to solve these crimes. These threads are all a part of one event but if you feel that you will not be able to keep up, limit yourself to the thread(s) you feel you can manage. This will be a very short adventure because it is really the start of a terrible game.
Please note: this does not mean that players can surpass their slot maximum -- these threads (less the first one) would be considered normal RP threads, the first would be considered an event thread. Additionally, while I will be posting once per week in these threads with findings and information, feel free to post multiple times with the participants. No need to slow things down because I am a slow-poke.

A crackle of static, something came to life. It was not the dead body nailed to the wall. No, he was a goner for sure. But there was something, a headset earpiece that was now whispering sweet nothings to an unknown audience. 
He would have 15 seconds. Fifteen seconds before it blew. The body nailed to the wall was eviscerated, in that open body cavity was a gift. The sort of gift you would have only found by rifling through what remained of his abdominal contents. He was stuff full of explosive notes and bombs. Enough to level not only the room but also the better part of the main building. The point was of course not to kill him, killing him meant that the game was over. He wanted 'Kamaru' to run. He would be able to find him without any difficulty, the irony palatable.
