Police HQ
"You think that Hiroshi framed Cabbage Corp. for manufacturing those electric gloves?" Tenzin asked skeptical about it
"This is a bold accusation what proof do you have?" Lin asked also skeptical
"I don't, but I heard him say it Sato is up to something" Korra arguedAsuma then came into the conversation after thinking about it
"It does make sense Sato does have the means and economic backing to produce such weapons and including his complete trust he seemed to developed with everyone around him making it easy to frame anyone.." Asuma added
"He has the means, and the motive" Lin said with sadness in her tone
"Motive? What motivate?" Naruto asked
"12 years ago Agni Kai triads robbed his mansion and a firebender killed his wife" Lin explainedTenzin bowed his head in saddened at the event.
"It was a horrible tragedy and then to harbor anti-bending sentiment after all these years" Tenzin said saddened by the news
"I'll speak to Hiroshi in private" Lin said in neutral toneThen Naruto Korra and Asuma then left the office with Korra asking a question with a most needed answer
"You guys believe me right?" Korra asked desperately
"Yes" Naruto answered after a quick glance at each otherHonestly Korra had doubt, but was confused at their answers
"Really?" She asked confused
"We're ninja remember we can read body language and facial expressions" Naruto explained
"But how'd you know?"
"He winces a little when he sees you with Asami" Naruto answered plainly then walking past her with Asuma behind him
"Oh....hey what?" Korra asked running behind himThe Next Day
Pao was answering the door that had been knocked on. As he did it revealed Lin, Tenzin, Korra, Naruto and his team. Lin, Tenzin and Asuma lead the group up stairs to Hiroshi's office, but got stopped by Mako and Asami
"What are they doing asking more questions?" Mako asked
Korra was about to ask until Naruto interrupted explaining to them
"We can't we're not supposed to explain investigations to you until we're completely sure" Naruto said going up stairs avoiding Asami's eyes
Upstairs
"We wanted to make some follow ups with you Hiroshi" Lin said in a neutral tone
"By all means Lin" Hiroshi said
"Naruto"Naruto then stepped forward with emotionless expression
"Hiroshi I've heard through my spy network that you have ties to the Equalists" Naruto said plainly
"Naruto, Lin why would you ask that?" Asami asked angered
"We need to follow all leads that's why we approached you privately so we must ask that we must ask to search your warehouses" Lin said in a regretful toneBefore Asami could speak Hiroshi raised his hand to calm her.
"It's okay Asami they're just doing their jobs, you can look at all of Future Industries warehouses as you wish" Hiroshi stated
They then left Hiroshi and Asami, Naruto not looking at her and resuming his emotionless expression
"Why did you do that?" Korra asked
"Cause if you did you would have ruined your friendship with her" Naruto said plainly with the same expression
"But wouldn't you be doing that with your relationship with her?"A moment of silence came between them until he spoke
"I can handle it, it's not the first time" Naruto said coldly
