Kakashi stopped his colleagues " hey. "

" Kakashi-san." He was leading a team of shinobis .

Kakashi: could you let me take a look at the bodies ?

" .... I'm not sure if this is according to procedure."

Kakashi: I'm not going to steal them. Please.

" Fine. " He takes out a scroll and gives it to Kakashi. Kakashi opens it up and summons all five of the bodies.

He takes a closer look and sees dog tags on all of them. He took up and see one of them " this name..."

" The dog tags were there since we brought them back. They all have it. Maybe it's a group thing."

Kakashi goes to dig up all their dog tags " I thought so... "

Tenzo ; Kakashi senpai.

Kakashi: tenzo ? What are you doing here ? At anbu headquarters. You're suspended aren't you ?

Tenzo ; I saw it. That night. You asked for the bodies. You don't believe it. Right ?

Kakashi; you can't be here.

Tenzo : I'm wearing the mask. It will take a while before someone knows it's me. Where are you going?

Kakashi; the records room.
.
.
.
So Kakashi and tenzo looked for five records in the room. It wasn't long they found all five.

Kakashi had in his hand two " mine is all dead."

Tenzo had in his hand three " mine too. All already dead. How could they die again ?"

Kakashi: the faces of all these people are not those bodies either.

Tenzo ; then why did Mai senpai put dog tags on them and say they are ?

Kakashi: Mai's solo mission... Why only she went ? To save a squad of shinobis ?

Tenzo : I asked that too. Mai senpai said the mission was seal related. She just needed to unlock a lock. The entire squad would be saved. One of her would be enough.

Kakashi: then ... If they were already all captured. Who told her that all it requires was an unlocked seal to save the team ?

________________________________

Kakashi goes to see Mai in her cell " Mai..."

She looked up " Kakashi. " Then look to the anbu beside him.

Tenzo motioned for her to keep quiet.

Kakashi; what happened?

Mai ; I have already said all needed to be said.

Kakashi: you choose to be inside here. Why ?

Mai ; I'm in a cell. What are you talking about. I can't do anything.

Kakashi; this can't lock you in. You barely did any resistance.

Tenzo ; Mai senpai. We want to help you. Please let us.

Kakashi: those shinobi who died. They're not the ones who you claim them to be.

Tenzo ; The ones who died... Who are they ?

Mai ; I don't know.

Kakashi ; the dog tag names... They're those who died in the ninja world war three. Isn't it ?

Mai ; .... Someone remembers... 

Kakashi: are they , those who were in your team ?

Mai ; um... I was the youngest.

Kakashi: then why did you put their dog tags onto them ?

Mai ; .... ..... .....

Kakashi: Mai. Mai Mai. Talk to me.

Tenzo : how about who told you that unlocking the seal will free our squad ?

Mai ; the one who sent the sos wasn't konoha. It was someone of the Reila family.

Tenzo ; and then ?

Mai ; and then... He said, I helped save your people. Protect akko.

Tenzo ; so he did something to make you kill our people ?

Mai ; .... ..... .....
