Chapter 12 - Konoha's food crisis

- "hahahaha as expected you know how to impress me."

Ebisu was genuinely stunned. He didnt imagine that shintoki would be good at fuinjutsu too, after all even most the elite barely have an understanding of this arc.

Not everyone were capable in fuinjutsu. To use it you needed to know how to setup severals formalar otherwise it will come back to blow up on you.

"I tought only my sensei know this kind of trick."

Ankos eye litup.

"Wait to go shintoki, can I try it?" Asked anko with her hand already rised ready to snatch it and test.

"In your Dream, with your pathetic trowing you will kill us all here.

I'm not letting you anywhere those" screamed shintoki.

"What did you say? I will definitely kick you in where it hurt most"

Ebisu and shintoki winced hearing this. Shintoki was so terrified of the thought he gave up on the idea of continuing to talk with anko.

That girl can be so mean when she doesnt get what she want, so she resort to bullying everyone.

"Anyway the formulas conponent still need work to avoid any incessant accident and the trowing speed can still be double or even tripled

Once completed I want to give you both one copy allong my teammate kotetsu and izumo thus way their strenght would increase considerably.

The chunin exam was an eye opener for me and I dont want to go through the same thing again.

My teammate need to have some trump card to help them and since you are my freind I think its in your interest to have it too".

...

shintoki then go to anko to her home in the next day.

Anko decided to share her dango with him.

But once home anko realize that her dango vanished.

"What the hell?"

How did all my dango vanished.

She was startled and panicking.

Who did this?

Anko was horrified, she spend her saving to buy the food.

Dango was her favorite food.

This is unacpetable.

Who either did this will pay.

She cried her eye almost red with tear.

Shintoki saw her desperate yet enraged look as if she was about to stomp on anyone at any moment and looked amused.

"Shintoki please help me look for the thief " he growed out.

" Alright alright. Anko Im convinced I will help you, I Got this" he say before she start to trouble him again with her temper.

See I'm such a good friend yet you only remember this when you need me.

Seeing shintoki complain ankos face twitched.

"why is shintoki so irriting lately." she asked herself

He never forget to give her a jab when there is a situation.

But for now she had to get allong ans not respond. They need to find the dango thief afterall.

I too am intriged by the identity of the thief. After allwho would dare steal Ankos dango.

So they begin to search together. Looking at every corner of her home.

After searching franticaly shintoki did found something.

A single paw on the ground... it looked like some kind of beast.

-elsewhere in konoha the same similar phenomenon was happening.

A vendor returned home only to find his food vanish.

He was so shock he collapsed on the spot in despair. Her long lifework ruined. The vendor was horrified.

Who could have the audacity to steel from him. He checked the others room to see if nothing else was stole and what he saw only deepened his bad mood severals stocks he keep at home were emptied.

His face become red with fury.

Unnable to contain himself anymore he run toward the direction of the police force to file coplain.

Another store was having food cricis, there food was emptied and now they were in shock.

The worst was that the thief took theirs food but their money were left intact.

Only their food stock was targeted.

Severals houses also lost their food and were filling complain to the police force.

It was chaos.

Eventualy the situation reached the higer up.

They kickky dispatched the investigation team to help.

Tsume and her force was helping search for the thief.

They visited the houses and store who were robbed. Severals ninja searching. It turn out that someone the shinobi part of the investigation also got robbed so they were fully dedicated to the search of the culprit.

Also from the small evidence gathered it looked like some wild beast from the paw on the ground.

Police force crisis. Before the uchiha police force, a line of vendors and civilians were there to complains.

Uchiha Takami was irritated. The number of people was stagerring. How where they supposed to solve this. If this continue he will loose his mind. There were simply too much people.

And before they can answer one request more poeple appeared.

It make him want to find the culprit and make them taste the terror of the uchiha clan.

Tsume guided by her ninken made her way behind the back of a store.

Tsumes Ninken kickly found a scent but it had vanished undergound

Back wth shintoki

Shintoki had found a mole like hole underground in the backward of ankos house and together with anko they moved through it to investigate.

There were paw allong the tunnel.

The tunnel was vast but because of how tiny it was both shintoki and anko found themself struggling to move through.

"Damn it remind me to never use a tunnel again"

Shintoki obviously frustrated and with his eye twitching was starting to loose it.

By the time they made it out they were tired and their body sore from moving on all 4 for the whole distance because of their tiny body.

"What even got into him to move in this damn tunel."

Shintoki couldnt help but shot.

When they finaly looked around their surounding and took notice the realized they were in the outskirt od konoha and close to a forest.
