Investigation

Code infiltrated the sand village.

Code entered the city with a group of merchants.

During times of peace, infiltration was simple. It wasn't a big deal. To begin with, there were few hints with Code.

Code was aware of a few details and key points that could assist him in determining the instances: magnet release, S-class jutsu, and a team formed this year.

All of these were significant points that would facilitate his investigation. He was desperate to finish the mission.

Code decided to begin by looking for locations popular with young shinobis.

The code was with the merchants' group. Shinobi and younger people were sold various goods and items by the merchants. The goods came from other lands and included scientific ninja tools, grociers, and other items.

Code was assigned a job that best suited his mission. He needed to publicize these ninja tolls to the land's shinobi.

He intended to use this as an opportunity to find out who was involved with Gaama's group of ninjas.

The branch leader, a merchant with a long black beard, looked at the code, who was lying on the sofa carefree: "Stop lying there, brat, and get to work. I don't believe you're getting paid to slack off."

After hearing someone curse at him, Code got up from his seat.

He saw the branch leader's angry expression, he said, "Yo, wassup?"

He had completely annoyed him now.

The branch leader slammed his hand on the desk and shouted, "What is your job in the group?"

Code rubbed on his eyes and said: "I guess it's something like bringing in more customers through advertising"

Branch leader sat down with a hand on his chin and asked: "And what are you doing here instead of advertising?"

Code drew a chair and sat beside him: "I was thinking of multiple ways to get all these goods sold off at a faster rate and secure a great future in the city"

The branch leader stared at Code: "Let me hear your multiple ways of being rich in small time ideas,"

Code expected this response: "I plan to sell these to young ninjas by personally going to them one by one."

The branch manager had never heard of such an inefficient method. It would be nearly impossible for them to sell all of those goods in a short period of time, and they might not even be sold.

The branch leader was about to say something when code cut him off: "If you give me a way to contact the most recent ninja to graduate from the academy, I promise I will sell all of these goods within 15 days."

The code had a confident look in his eyes. The branch leader gave it some thought.

The branch leader spoke after giving it some thought: "I still don't trust your skill, but if you couldn't manage to pull it off, then I would have something as a compensation."

He took out a large suitcase full of cash. He opened the suitcase and handed it to the merchant.

Code yawned and noted, "This is the sort of compensation. Now make plans for me to meet the new graduates."

The branch leader responded by placing the suitcase beside him: "Such a simple task. Consider it completed."

"What a 180-degree change in attitude," Code thought, smirking.

Somewhere in a sand village,

Shinki was practicing with his teammates, Araya and Yodo.

Shinki was unique among his peers. He had a magnet release that allowed him to use puppets in a different league than others.

Shinki was fighting both Araya and Yodo at the same time.

Shinki was fighting Araya with a puppet and Yodo with iron sand.

In a singles match, he would simply obliterate them. Shinki was able to train himself and them at the same time as a result of this.

Shinki's puppet was fighting Araya's puppet.

Araya's puppet resembled him exactly.

Araya's puppet held a spear, while Shinki's puppet held a sword in his hand.

The puppets were fighting in a fierec battle. It didn't matter how many times they got stabbed.

They were equally matched.

Shinki needed to divide his focus while facing both of them. Shinki didn't have a clear focus, and they were trying their best to get out of his eyesight.

"Clank!", the puppets said as they collided.

Iron sand, on the other hand, was chasing after Yodo and attempting to seize her.

Yodo moved quickly and easily, and if she came into contact with the iron sand, she would blow it away with her owling hair sound wave.

"Iron Sand Punch"

Iron sand formed a massive fist and launched itself directly above Yodo's head.

"Owling hair sound wave"

When the iron sand collided with the sound wave, forming a small hole.

Yodo passed right through the hole.

"Araya"

"I've got it"

Yodo and Araya dashed in opposite directions towards Shinki.

"Good thinking, but not enough," Shinki said with a grin.

"Iron sand bullet"

Iron sand bullets were fired at Yodo and Araya.

They both escaped the bullets and made it to Shinki.

They both punched Shinki in the face.

"How's that for a compliment?" *2

They both grinned.

Shinki abruptly transformed into iron sand.

"Iron sand clone," they both thought.

They didn't even have time to reflect on what had just occurred. A massive "iron sand fist" slammed into them.

Shinki had a simple victory with this.

"You guys sure have improved."

"But still, you destroy us."

Shinki sat beside them and said, "Don't forget that we still have a long way to go. Have you forgotten what happened just a few days ago?"

Yodo had a determined expression: "That guy was a metal monster. I still can't believe we made it through that alive."

With a serious expression, Shinki stated, "There are many people who are stronger than him. We must be ready." We might not be so fortunate the next time."

They both nodded their heads in agreement.

...

Gaara was writing a message to Naruto about the recent battle from his office.

He mentioned how ridiculous his abilities were, as well as how much power Gaama possessed and how much terrain were destroyed.

Gaama was free and playful at first, but went berserk when gamma discovered that he had been magnetized unexpectedly.

He went berserk after being magntized and continued to cause a shift to the entire terrain fro, his jutsu's.

There are holes equal ro the size of "tailed best bomb."

Gaara wrote all of these details to Naruto and expressed his belief that there is a terrorist organization similar to Akatsuki that is currently in hiding.

Gaara forwarded the letter to Naruto and the other kages because it was of concern to all of them.

When Naruto received the letter, he was in his office.

He opened the letter and read what was inside.

"It appears that Sasuke should take the initiative on this one, and I'm sure everyone else would agree. They would even force it"

When Kakashi heard what Naruto had said, he came to see him and asked, "So, what is the letter about?"

"It seems these things never stop, another criminal organization," Naruto said as he handed the letter to Kakashi.

"They'll be wiped out once Sasuke finds any leads," Naruto sighed.

Kakashi proceeded to read the letter: "I believe I will go to Sand Village. They might require my assistance. If not, I'll simply enjoy my time there."

"That'll be a good idea!" said Naruto.

As a result, Kakashi, guy and Code arrived in town on the same day. It had only been a day since they had both arrived.
