Alpha & Omega:

'''What first drew the talented noses of these marvelous creatures was the scent which belonged to one of the two dead bodies, a female to be exact. Although Alpha would notice her to be unlike Konoha females, she was far more scrawny. Most likely a result of a tough life as the man who laid dead beside her looked like little more of a threat. Which could’ve led Alpha to wonder how this man could’ve been their target? For it was the skinny dead man laying on the ground who reeked of the same smell as the cloth which Hattori had provided.'''

'''Omega however, perhaps through female wisdom, had already solved the first puzzle at hand as she sniffed the dead man’s hand which held a unique body odour which was different from the clothes he wore. Which meant somebody had swapped clothes with him.'''

Madoka:

'''Deciding to search around the crates, she’d stumble upon a ripped scroll that looked to be of Fire nature. “Convenient..” she’d think, picking it up and trying to read its contents (DM) before she’d stuff it in her shirt for safe keeping.'''

'''As you make your way into the campsite you might feel a shiver running across your back as it feel like the eyes of the dead are ever watching you. A trick of the mind, however, as they were as dead as can be but it didn’t make the atmosphere any more comfortable. A cold wind began to sway the branches overhead where a single raven made landing and cawed.'''

'''Making your way over to the crates you find the brittle wood easily breaking for you to reach deeper and claim a tarnished scroll. With hopes for a good find and possible curiosity you open its contents only to be surprised with a merciless BANG.'''

A explosion of fire expands out of the scroll the moment it is opened, engulfing Madoka in a 4 yard radius torrent of flames capable of scorching her to a crisp.

O’ren:

'''You watch the scene unfold and behold what takes place surroundings all of your allies as your eyes sway back and forth. You notice the wolves showing a keen interest to one of the dead bodies. You spot Hattori on the brink of making a deduction as he kneels down to the shards from the broken bottle of Sake. You see a normal Raven landing on a branch. You see Madoka reaching for the scroll which you saw earlier.'''

'''However, as she starts to open it, your Byakugan sees that which normal eyes cannot. As the fuinjutsu seal is activates and chakra starts to spread through the scroll inevitably exploding out of said scroll. You note the nature of the chakra to be fire. And in between detecting what’s going on, and the explosion happening, you only have a few seconds at best!'''

Will O’ren be able to save Madoka!?

Hattori:

'''Before Madoka had reached down into the crate you find yourself investigating the dead bodies and soon determine that a murder had taken place. Both of the victims suffered from lethal and brutish head wounds which you can easily determine were inflicted with the sake bottle which now laid broken on the floor. You find blood upon what's left of the battle, as well as many of the shards on the ground. And interestingly enough, after using your own nose, you can smell some alcohol on the floor and discover a trail of drops and splashes of Sake which leads out the campsite and behind a tree standing about 15 yards away.'''

'''But before you can investigate further, Alpha and Omega have some information to relay to you. Which you can easily confirm due to the color of the piece of cloth in your pocket matching that of the ripped shirt worn by the male corpse.'''

As that happens, O’ren’s Byakugan takes note of the peril Madoka is about to find herself in.
