An hour later found them in the Sileo, the underground headquarters of the ANBU. Things had been moving rapidly, all the pieces of a major investigation moving at the same time, with Fuu in the middle of it. Upon the arrival of the ‘baggers’ as he liked to call them, the man had hung around just long enough to make sure that everything was secure and that they would return with the bodies without incident. To facilitate this, he had ordered Bikou to stay behind and help with the escort. He had faith in the trainee, sparked by her impressive status as a contract holder, and felt she and the two other ANBU that had arrived would be more then capable of returning the evidence in one piece. Still, it was always best to err on the side of caution, especially when dealing with a potential-
“Rikudo Sennin sir, I’m almost certain.” He had stated during his small conference with his superiors "We'll know more when the Medical division finishes their examination." After giving them what little information he could, he had made his way to check on the progress of his and Bikou's snapshots. Utilizing a fairly recently developed technique, they had transferred their snapshots to member of the ‘special circumstance’ unit, who was then able to transfer the images to pieces of special, chakra infused paper. They had developed nicely in the short time he was gone ‘Almost as sharp as my own eyes.’ He had thought, watching as the pictures were posted up on a large board, the hub of the investigation. Aside from the images there was information regarding Rikudo Sennin, corpse decomposition and insect incubation times, among a variety of other things. Fuu’s head was swimming as he studied the board, his mind not accustomed to heading an investigation. Silently, he worked through the checklist in his mind.
Superiors notified, check. Squad leaders made aware, check. Squads rallied and prepared, check. Medical division analyzing the corpse, Logistics Division searching for records of possible Rikudo Sennin and identification of the corpses, check, check and check. All he could do now is watch and wait, watch the well-organized bustle of a full force ANBU investigation and wait for the medical report. All that remained were questions, some trivial and others downright disturbing. Was the man third corpse truly dead, or still alive elsewhere? Who did the two bodies belong to, and what had been done to them? ‘Most importantly, who the hell is calling us out?’
That’s what this all came down to. Whoever had dropped those bodies there could easily have removed all evidence of them, even without the Destroy Presence technique taught to the ANBU. Instead they had set the corpses up in poses and left them in the open, waiting to be discovered. Whoever was doing this, they were enticing the wrath of the entire ANBU division, and this disturbed Fuu. With a sigh, he turned from the board and scanned the room for Bikou. He wasn’t sure what the trainee had been up to over the course of the hour, but the man figured she was as engrained in the whole situation as he was.
Unable to spot her in the swarm of faces and masks, Fuu shook his head and leaned against the desk he had claimed, a sturdy metal beast the looked like it could withstand a bomb. There was nothing he could do now, so he stayed where he was and waited for runners to bring him news from the medical division, mulling over the events of the day. He was itching to find the young trainee and question her about the spiders, but there simply wasn't time. 'All the more reason to figure this out quickly.' The ANBU thought with determination, clenching his jaw in frustration.
