Shikamaru smoked while he walked back to the office. He looked up at the dark sky and saw that the snow finally stopped. He calmly walked back to the office, throwing his cigarette away before entering the office.

"Shikamaru! Where have you been?! And where is Sasuke?!" Naruto exclaimed throwing his hands in the air making Shikamaru sweat drop while he closed the door.

After Naruto jumped off the bird he ran for hours looking for Hinata. He could sense her chakra, but he couldn't find her for the life if him. However, after fifteen minutes her chakra signature vanished again. He searched for her for hours, but after it started getting dark he had to give up his search for Hinata and return to Konoha.

He would've returned with Sai, but he sort of lost him while he looked for Hinata, but Sai us a capable ninja, he could return to Konoha on his own as well...

"I've been at the interrogation headquarters getting information on the whereabouts of Sakura and Hinata, and Sasuke is out looking for them," Shikamaru said bluntly.

"Oh, you're forgiven," Naruto said calmly again.

"What did you find out?" Naruto asked sitting in his chair.

"They're trying to start a fight between all the villages by framing different villages for certain abductions. For example the prisoner we caught tried to frame Hinata's kidnapping on the cloud village while we were framed for Karui's abduction. However the cloud didn't start a fight, they just took Chouji into their custody." Shikamaru said with a sigh making Naruto spit out the water he was drinking.

"They took Chouji!?" Naruto asked angrily.

"Yes, Shino is there to prove his innocence," Shikamaru answered.

"What else do you know?" Naruto asked leaning back in his chair again.

"There is a possible base in the land of Fire, the land of Wind, the land of Stone and the land of Lightning. We should send teams to each land to search for their base." Shikamaru suggested.

"Good idea, do we know who the mastermind is?" Naruto asked.

"No, but we found out a woman with auburn hair and the Sharingan gives out the orders," Shikamaru answered.

"The Sharingan? That's not possible." Naruto gasped.

"That's not all. Kiba told us that a man named Taiga possess the Rinne Sharingan. He's the one that took Temari's body. However, the prisoner has knowledge that Temari is the person they abducted from Suna so it's possible that Taiga is involved with the kidnappings. Shikamaru exclaimed.

"Shikamaru?" Naruto asked with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Naruto?" Shikamaru asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you believe Temari's dead?" Naruto asked looking at Shikamaru's grave expression.

"Yes, why?" Shikamaru asked in a quiet tone.

"Sai and I think there's more to the story," Naruto said looking at Shikamaru.

"I really want to believe she's not dead and that somehow she's still alive somewhere, but I don't have any evidence that can make me believe that. There is only evidence of her being dead Naruto. Maybe there is more to the story, but it won't make her alive." Shikamaru said looking out the window detached.

It was quiet for a long time before Naruto spoke again.

"You mentioned teams going to each of the four lands to search for their base. Who's in what team?" Naruto asked.
