AN: I want to apologize for the long hiatus it really was unwanted my job and all illness took over my life, but I always have ideas and alternative versions of this so I want to involved my readers to speed this along. So towards the end of this chapter I want you guys to vote.   

This is investigation was puzzling to Shisui who became the lead investigator to what was now known as the great fire. What is making it even harder for this investigation was that the family themselves was destroying evidences right before his eyes.

The proof was in the rebuilding of their estate. The mere fact that they didn't halt construction ever since he started his investigation and in fact they to want to speed up the whole process. Shisui believed it was a secretive thing when it came to this clan. But what he wanted them to understood is that he didn't care about obtaining their secrets. He was genuinely concern especially since Obito got burns from being in this mess.

"He seriously going to be the death of me..." Shisui uttered under his breath while tiredly rubbing his face.

"I'm sorry what?" Izumi asked confused who was also assigned to assist him in the investigation.

"Nothing I just wondering who should we speak to next?" he said avoiding that the question.

"Ah I don't know it feel like we are going in circle with the witnesses the leader is willing for us to interview..."

To say the less this was all about who they couldn't talk to and Shisui really wanted to speak with Hinata not because he thought she a suspect. Obito and Hinata were the only in house that survived the fire for long periods of time. He already spoke with Obito and he was in the late stage of the fire so visibly of him seeing the prime suspect was zero especially since he was more focused on saving Hinata.

She was the only one that was most likely to have seen something regretless of what her father or caretaker was saying. It was traumatic for her, but it has been a month something must have jogged her memory and they just need to talk to her without drawing suspicion to her father.

"Izumi,"

"Huh wait were you ignoring me just now!" she pouted with her hands on her hips.

"Listen I going to speak with our next witness and I need you to speak with Hinata,"

Izumi was thinking that this plan was so risky and the only one she could blame was Shisui if everything went wrong as she slowly sneaked in the hallways of the Hyūga branch house. It was only chance that her father had to go into town or that Kō was out on a mission. Only luck that Shisui was going to go question Neji and that she happened to finally found Hinata.

Hanabi cherished the moments that she be alone with her sister and sharing a room with her was the best thing that could happen. She remembered when Hinata used to visit her and she would be too tired to play with her because of her training, but ever since the fire their father has been fixate on rebuilding their home.

"What's wrong Hanabi?" Hinata asked because her sister started scowling and dropped her doll that she was playing with. Hanabi saw someone peeking through the open crack of the door and she hated when someone disturbed her bonding time with older sister.

"Hi I'm sorry to disturbed you," a pretty young lady with long brown hair said suddenly entered their room.

"H-Hello...are you lost?" she asked anxiously because she never seen this woman before and she was wary of strangers when it came to her baby sister.

"No, I was actually looking for you. My name Izumi Uchiha I'm here on behalf of the Uchiha police and I just want to ask you a few questions." Izumi said in hopes she didn't sound too suspicious and put the girl's mind at ease.
