Little detectives(1)

Previously on case closed

After successfully passing the test given by their jonin teacher, team 11 received a C-rank mission to investigate the disappearance of a powerful person on Volcano island

They set out and started their adventure traveling through the mainland, crossing the sea and a carriage journey to the small village, after a couple of days they finally reached their destination

Will the little detective solve the mystery or will they fail their first real mission

____________________

Shimoya manor guest house

The headmistress of the Shimoya family provided team 11 with food and shelter. They were now in the Shimoya guest house preparing to complete this mission

The guest house was a symbol of the Shimoya family's wealth. It was big and stylish and the courtyard was very decorative showing off its Japanese aesthetics

Right now team 11 is gathered in the living room of the guest house to go over the information they got from Mrs, Shimoya

"What are your thoughts on the information Mrs, Shimoya gave us"

Kazuto turned to Mabui who was preparing her traps and asked for her opinion

"Well, all I know is that this missing case is deeper than I initially thought. At first, I was guessing that it was just conflict in the family, someone killing the head to take over the family, but from what she said its more than that"

They guessed it was a murder and not a kidnapping nor Mr Shimoya hiding. The real reason Mrs Shimoya wanted them to investigate his disappearance was to find his body

So their real mission was to find the killer or whoever is involved and find the missing body

Kazuto nodded in agreement. It wasn't strange for the head of the family to die because of family matters but things were not what they expected

After summing up what Mrs, Shimoya told them they summarized it to make it easy

Months before Mr, Shimoya's death he was acting very strange. The man became very quiet and would be secretive about his actions, he would isolate himself from the rest of the family and would be gone for long periods of time

From what Mrs, Shimoya told them he was a kind and cheerful person, he was one that believed that with family nothing in this world could beat them, this sudden change that happened overnight was very strange

Mrs, Shimoya was worried about her husband and would pay close attention to his actions and have her servants eavesdrop on him anytime he had meetings

Mr, Shimoya would leave out late at night and would have mysterious guests over. Mrs, Shimoya felt he was being blackmailed because of something one of her servants found out, but the man refused to talk about anything, she could only watch her husband distance himself from them until he went missing

This piece of information widens the possibility of people involved, they asked her if the head had any enemies that would do such a thing and they got their list of suspects

"Let's start early tomorrow get as much rest"

A and Mabui made went to their rooms, to get some rest

Darui gave him the lead in this mission so Kazuto was the leader at the moment as for Darui we will sit back and watch

____________________

Early in the morning kazuto and his gang started to interrogate the people they thought were involved

The list of suspects

Mrs, Shimoya-When she was telling them the information she knew a lot of things felt out of place like she was hiding something. Although the motive is unclear, she was the person who knew more about Mr, Shimoya's disappearance, even if she hired them they still but her as a suspect since this case is most likely a murder

Iku Shimoya-Younger Brother of Mr, Shimoya. The brothers were never on good terms, they had a sibling rivalry to see who will become the head of the family, in the end, Mr, Shimoya became the head and Iku has been salty ever since

He was their main suspect, from what they heard from the servants, Iku and Mr, Shimoya were seen together a lot since a couple of months ago, this was also the time Mr, Simoya changed. Kazuto suspected that he had something to do with this

Mr, Hito-Mr, Shimoya's arch-rival. Mr, Hito is the head of the Hito family another local tyrant family that has great power on Volcano Island, he has a motive but it's unlike he had anything to do with the Mr, Shimoya's disappearance

Mr, Shimoya's 2 sons, Takada and Takayama Shimoya-The brothers lead their hidden forces to take over the Shimoya family. Them being on the list of suspects was obvious, brothers killing their father then fighting for who becomes head wasn't uncommon

Mr, Shimoya was a very kind man, most people had a lot of good things to say about him even his business rivals. The list of suspects was very low in number since no one other than the ones on the list had any reason to want him to disappear

They started with Mrs, Shimoya. The woman was very calm throughout the interrogation, after questioning her a bit and hours of investigation they took her off the list

Like most marriages between influential people, it was just for show, Mr and Mrs Shimoya didn't love each other a lot, they would have their differences on a lot of matters but the woman had no reason to kill the man and her alibi checked out. No evidence pointed to her so they took her off the list

They also crossed Mr Hito off the list. The man had some reasons to be involved with the disappearance. Mr Hito didn't live in Ragoko Village but he was able to make his way to them, the man wanted to finish this very quickly and came right to their door

When questioned the man felt very offended that to be a suspect, it's true he didn't like Mr Shimoya and would benefit from his disappearance but he would never kill him. He would rather beat Mr Shimoya fair and square than kill him secretly

Next were the brothers who gave them more of a fight than the others

The brothers didn't look like they wanted to talk and looked at Kazuto and the other with disdain

Kazuto didn't feel like dealing with them but he wanted to finish this mission quickly

He ignored the brothers and questioned them. As children that grew up in a wealthy and powerful family, they were very spoiled in fact Kazuto should be the one looking down on them. He was the heir to the Narukami, a powerful ninja clan that was among the best of the best

Even though he was very young he had some authority in the clan. Most elders of The Narukami clan had a great opinion of him, they tried to invest a bit and curried a little favor not only that the Narukami clan technically ruled Kumo

He could destroy this "Powerful" family with just a call. Luckily for them, he wasn't a young master and didn't acknowledge their existence

He treated them like NPCs, background characters. After living in a world with about 8 billion people and most of the things people did in that world didn't make sense, he refused to believe that everyone was real at least 50% of people are NPCs

"We are here on the behalf of Kumogakure, to complete our mission if you get in the way of that the consequences are not something your Shimoya family can handle"

Kazuto looked at the brothers coldly, this was an easy mission he didn't know why they were making this so difficult

The two brothers were startled, after a while, they gave up resistance

"*Sigh* take them off the list"

In the guest house team 11 gathered in the living room after a long day of work

The brothers who they thought may have something to do with Mr Shimoya's disappearance, were innocent

The brothers indeed want to take over the family, the day when Mr Shimoya was pronounced missing the brothers were both in their private rooms discussing with their confidantes how to gain more power in the family

They also didn't come into contact with their father over the past few months. It's not like they didn't want the old man gone but they weren't involved in this matter

The evidence they found didn't connect with the brothers at all

"Only one left"

Mabui looked at the last name on the list

Iku Shimoya

"For the next 2 days gather as much information about Iku Shimoya and some about the interactions between the two brothers over the past months"

Kazuto didn't want to challenge the man head-on suddenly, from what he heard he was very cunning and if he confronted him without enough evidence they would suffer

Honestly, I didn't expect to reach this far with this book kinda proud of myself

I started to write fanfics because of my mental health. Before lockdown, I read fanfics but it wasn't on a large scale, during the lockdown period because of covid I was addicted

I remember reading 30 fanfics in 1 day and my library filled with them, but after time I started to get picky and writers keep destroying books with great potential. So I started to create my own fanfics and live them out in my head

But damn that was a bad idea, because of that I got maladaptive daydreaming(intense daydreaming). I was always distracted at school or even when I'm in public I would just space out. Couldn't get enough sleep because of this if I planned to go to sleep by 10 I would actually be sleeping by 12 or 1 in the morning

Lack of sleep, always losing focus, wasting time just laying in my bed staring at my ceiling just daydreaming for hours this had to stop. One of the methods to reduce this was to bring your dreams into reality so I started to write fanfics

Probably the best thing I have ever done I'm now focusing a lot and getting some good sleep damn I feel good

This book was just a test subject, I didn't put much thought into it but I see a lot of people actually enjoy it and some encourage me to continue writing, so I will put all my focus on this and make this a decent fan fic

So yeah thank you for reading I hope this story is to your liking

As for the donation thing, making money is just a side thing to me as I'm not in desperate need of money, but if you really enjoy this story and won't mind sacrificing a dollar then a small donation could motivate your old boy over here

If you're just someone scrolling by and reading this and thought "Nice story but not my style" then hey donate if you want it means a lot
