Triple K and the Sand Siblings join forces

"This town is kinda like a ghost town" Kanae said looking at the tumbleweeds passing by, her blonde/light red hair was in a half up half down ponytail wearing a black shortsleeve cropped top with black pants, a shuriken holster on her right thigh, wearing a kunai pouch on her waist. Kankuro stood nearby, the groups having decided to branch off in two man teams to investigate. Katsuo and Gaara (it was very likely Katsuo would end up maimed if he was on Temaris team), Temari and Kohana, and Kankuro and Kanae.

"I agree, it's weird for a village this size." He said they'd seen maybe five people in a village large enough to hold 500 people. Kankuro wore a cat shaped hood on his head hiding his hair with a black jumpsuit his puppet sitting on his back.

"Looks like we've got a catch boys" a man said reaching towards Kanae, who, after breaking the mans hand with a firm grip, jumped behind Kankuro. Who raised an eyebrow

"Do you talk to your kids.. or any kids with that mouth, cause it's gross." She said

"It's a clone of some kind." She said so only Kankuro could hear, the boy nodding

"Katsuo Uzumaki. You'll be coming with us." Men said as they surrounded Gaara and Katsuo,

"The three siblings, we will have you." The men said lunging forwards, Katsuo doing the same, dodging to the right at the last second, and kicking the guys face.

"Damn girl, are we on a scavenger hunt boys, cause I think we just found some treasure. Kohana Uzumaki" a guy said behind Temari and Kohana. Kohana had her hair in pigtails on either side of her head wearing a dark gray sleeveless cropped top paired with black sleeves on either arm, her headband sitting just before her bangs, holding them in place. Wearing a black skort with black thighhigh fabric that went into her ninja sandals, her shuriken holster on her right thigh and her kunai pouch on her back waist. Kohanas blue eyes trailed to Temaris green who Temari shrugging a moment.

"Hey don't be like that, I know how to fix an uptight batch like you" He continued his group now surrounding Temari and Kohana.

"Let us through. Please." Kohana said, her voice was light abs airy

"Scary are you gonna do about it little girl, if we don't" the man in front said they were at least mid 40s early 50s.

"Oh, you thought I was asking. Sorry, I meant. Move aside, or I'll fry your brain." Kohana said though her voice nor did her pitch change as she spoke

"Yeah right! Let's take em boss!" Another thug yelled jumping forwards, Kohana and Temari nodded to eaxhother, Temari opening her fan as Kohana put a finger to her lips, the man falling to the ground alongside the rest of the group, yelling in pain.

"They're being manipulated, so it's unlikely they'll know what's going on, except for this one." Kohana said wrapping one in chakra chains as Temari opened her fan jumping on top of it, Kohana doing the same, holding the guy below the Fan. The clones surrounding the other two teams disappeared, the teams looking up seeing the shape of a dragon made of fire in the air, Kohanas signal, they'd captured the head, or what they thought was the head

"You've been going after members of the Uzumaki clan." Gaara said the man refusing to talk,

"I ain't telling you shit!" He proclaimed Kohana putting her hand on Kanae and Katsuos shoulders, as they tried to run forwards, stopping them in their tracks.

"Kanae, see if you can trace any jutsu being used that's not ours. Katsuo see if you can locate other chakra signatures, aside from the seven of us. They've been going after the Uzumaki clan, which means we need to hurry and find them" Kohana said the two tsking before doing so,

"Huh… thought that'd be more of a fight." Kankuro said

"Have you ever seen Kohana angry?" Katsuo asked

"No," Temari said

"Exactly." Kanae said

"What makes you think you asking him will be any different?" Kankuro asked Kohana

"I can be very… persuasive. Tell me why your taking people from the Uzumaki clan." Kohana said her fingers below her chin as she stared at the guy,

"I don't know. My boss just asked I take as many Uzumaki to the cave on the southwest hill of the village, there are 5 Uzumaki in the cave behind a faux earth wall you need to use jutsu to get to the prisoners but there's a failsafe in place I left someone guarding them his name is Onri. And there are also paperbombs laced throughout the cavern that will go off in an hour ans a half. Also I accidentally killed his goldfish." The man said, before looking shocked.

"Alright, Kanae Katsuo focus your search on the southwest." Kohana said

"How'd you do that?" Temari asked

"A mix of Bellodona, madrake, and henbane nectar. A small jutsu formula I placed when we made contact, all I had to do was activate the formula for the flowers to make him incapable of lying." Kohana said,

"It's always the quiet ones.." Kankuro said looking at Gaara and at Kohana, the group treched across the village which was more like a ghost town, the group moved quickly. Aiming to get to the cliff before the paperbombs were set off. Kankuro and Kanae staying back to guard the man they'd captured, while the other four moved forwards. Running up the side of the mountain.

"Took you long enough, Taki. You got the other three Uzumaki you sensed? Let's put them in the cage with the others." A man spoke,

"So your Onri. Huh.. I'm unimpressed." Kohana spoke, Temari and Katsuo rushing past the man. While Gaara and Kohana engaged in battle.

"The Uzumaki are scourge!" Onri yelled as he fought them Kohana, taking out two Kunai blades, holding them in either hand as she panted, running along Gaaras sand she sliced the mans hand an cheek as well as a few other parts.

"What good are those blades if you can't kill people.." Onri said before freezing where he stood

"So you've noticed? That should shut you up, one is laced in poison from an angels trumpet flower, they can only be found in a remote area in the land of fire. And the other is dripping in wisteria poison, those flowers are native to st eddies. Just because you don't have any deep cuts, don't assume your safe. That was your mistake." Kohana said before Onri fell, dead to the forest floor, Kohana putting the kunai back in their specialty pouches beneath her kunai pouch, so she'd avoid hitting Gaara accidentally with the poison.

"Hey guys we found them lets go." Katsuo said he and temari held two people over their shoulders to adults and two children, they each had bitemarks over their skin.

"Sis, can you look them over?" Katsuo asked and Kohana nodded placing her hand on the mans forehead before jumping back, before shaking her head

"We need to get them to the leaf right away. They're suffering from chakra exhaustion, and loss. If we don't hurry the symptoms they're displaying will become permanent. We need to go quickly before they enter cardiac arrest." Kohana said, grabbing one of the kids, Kanae grabbing the other, Gaara carrying the man called Toki tightly in his sand, with Temari carrying one of the adults with Kankuro carrying the other, with Katsuo holding the teen.

"So Kohana what happened? I've never seen you jump back like that before and you looked scared" Katsuo asked as they jumped through the trees at top speed,

"Hmm? Oh that? Just got a little shocked, sorry." She said as they reached the leaf hospital,

"Whatve you brought us?" Rin asked

"Acute pulimary failure due chakra loss. Fatigue due Chakra and blood loss. Chakra deficiency, heart attack likely brought on by stress and lack of chakra. Starvation, acute pulmonary failure, with chakra deficiency. And mission fatigue" kohana said Rin laughing at the last one,

"Alright I've got stretchers" shizune said bringing the stretchers around for the patients.

"Kohana, are you helping with this or do you still have to give your report to Tsunade?" Rin asked

"We still need to report, and I don't think I'll be much help, since their chakra networks are where the majority of the issues lay" She said

"Alright." Rin said, she and Shizune alongside a team of medical ninja pulled the victims back. The team then heading to the hokage. Where they dropped off the perpetrator in the crimes.

"He's hyped up on neurotoxin but he'll come down from it in about 10minutes." Kohana said as they passed the man over to Ibiki who cuffed him

"Who drugged the suspect" Ibiki asked

"That was all Kohana!" Kanae said, Ibiki sighing before grabbing the man, taking him to interrogation.

"At least it was solved easy enough" Kankuro said, Kohana remained behind in the hokage office talking to Tsunade while the other groups left the office

"We've never seen that look in Kohanas eyes, I'm worried." Kanae said glancing back, the sand siblings hummed

"I didn't know it was possible to project memories, but when someone goes for a medical eval…" Kohana said and Tsunade nodded

"Normally it's not possible, but in the Uzumaki clan it has been known to happen a few times. From what my grandmother told me anyway, I've never witnessed it" Tsunade confirmed, before looking at the girl

"What did you see?" She asked, Kohana was shaken by whatever she saw and Tsunade could see that.

"They were traveling from somewhere near st eddies. But when they passed the artisan village, they'd started being followed. Before being attacked by someone who called himself the leader of the celestials. From what I saw they wandered into the ghost town by mistake and Hoki and his associate Onri took advantage of that" Kohana said, they'd also delivered Onris body for autopsy. Tsunade hummed

"I see… we'll start investigating the artisan village and see if we can dig up anymore information on the four celestials." She said and Kohana nodded, Tsunade sending Kakashi and Rin to check out the artisan village with the rest of the jonin being assigned to the border since the waterfall village had a line of their jonin gathering at their border.

"I just found out it's possible to project memories, uzumaki to Uzumaki. So I was just a bit startled, but I'm okay" Kohana said in response to Kanaes question, as they walked through town with the sand siblings, team 4 assigned to also see them off.

"So what'd ya see that has you using your thinking face" Katsuo asked getting in Kohanas face who looked over humming.

"Hey, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, did you guys know there was a ninja village in the land of whirlpools? St Eddies?" Kohana asked and the three looked to eachother before shaking their heads

"Why do you ask?" Gaara asked and Kohana shook her hand a moment

"Ah, i-It's nothing. Just something I saw." She said, the Uzumaki family were all in a coma from their injuries.

"Granny, is it possible to… to see others memories using medical ninjutsu?" Kohana asked as she stood alone in Tsunade's office the woman looking over,

"I don't think so, unless… My grandmother told me of that sometimes happening between Uzumaki. So for example if you were to heal Kanae or Katsuo, there is a possibility of that happening" Tsunade said and Kohana nodded

"Okay… that makes me feel better, cause that's what happened when I tried to heal them back in the abandoned village." Kohana said and Tsunade looked over, asking her to describe what she saw,

"They were being pursued by someone, it was two dark to tell, but they were terrified. I don't know where they came from or their names, but they were definitely running from something. Or someone." Kohana said and Tsunade hummed,

"That is troubling, do you have an idea on where they might have been coming from?" Tsunade asked

"Near the artisan village, maybe? I don't know.." she said and Tsunade hummed, she was going to send ninja to investigate the artisan village.
