Please vote, comment, and share if you like this story. Happy Halloween Eve, and, as usual, thank you for reading story and supporting me. I really appreciate it. -coughs- Without further ado... here's part three!*

"Alright, here we are." Natsumi smiled and pointed at the simple building that stood before them.

"What's this place?" Naruto stopped walking and looked it over.

"It's the public records." Sakura answered for him, then turned to Natsumi as she led the group. "But, I thought Kakashi-sensei said that the records would be impossible to get? Anyone can access these records."

"Well, yes." Natsumi nodded. "But, there might be some information stored here that is still useful. The actual investigation file will be under lock and key."

"How are we going to get it?" TenTen asked.

"We're going to split up." Natsumi crossed her arms and looked between them.

"W-What?" Naruto crossed his own arms and looked at his twin. "No way!"

"It's the best plan." Natsumi pointed at the door. "I'll need you guys to go in there and ask Oto-sama for any information about the Princess that she might have, while I sneak into the sealed records and classified archives."

"Alone?" Shikamaru looked her over.

Natsumi met his eyes. "Yes, alone. Why?"

Several of the Genin looked between themselves and back to the redhead. She sighed.

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm the best one for the job."

"What do you mean?" Kiba scratched his cheek, making a face. "You don't think we could do it?"

Natsumi sighed again, then retrieved a Kunai knife and began to draw blueprints in the dirt.

"Let me instead put it this way. The Villages' oldest artifacts and records are stored in high-security vaults underground. Some of the most valuable and ancient Shinobi relics, as well as some of the most top-secret records are stored here. As a result, it's guarded day-and-night by senior ANBU members."

"A-ANBU?" They blinked and she nodded.

"Yes, so, unless you're able to take out ANBU members or slip by them unnoticed, it has to be me."

"And what makes you so qualified?" Ino raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Does anyone else know the exact layout, the guard's rotation schedules, and the location of the secret entrance?" She looked at them, smirking faintly. "No? I didn't think so."

"It's almost as if... you've done this before." TenTen watched Natsumi.

Her cheeks warmed slightly. "Uh... well..." She smiled. "It's not important."

"Wait!" Naruto pointed at her with wide eyes. "Y-You've stolen from the ANBU before?"

Natsumi laughed quietly under her breath and shrugged. "Well, I've never stolen anything before... but... sneaking in to read scrolls from time-to-time without taking them from the premises... I've done that."
