Kiba wandered around the office occasionally stooping to study something or pick something up as he listened to Ryo's speech. As Ryo concluded. Kiba straightened and walked over to the beam where several kunai had apparently embedded themselves in the wall during the attack and studied them closely; eyes mere centimeters from the blades. As he studied the blade Kiba spoke over his should to Ryo. "I was not here to hear if Lady Fifth denied your request and regretfully Lady Fifth won't remember if she did either, so that part is indeed speculation I admit. As for your ability to attack and injure the Lady Fifth. I have never lied to you of your skills. You are an extraordinary Shinobi I will not Lie. I do believe you fully capable of making an attack like this. The Lady Fifth and her aids are familiar with you and would not be on full alert as you have never attacked before. It is fully possible that their relaxed attitude towards your presence gave you exactly the chance needed to pull off an attack like this. Kiba turned from studying the blades in the wall and strolled over to Ryo and observed the many kunai embedded in body. Running a finger along the hilt of several Kiba finally paused on one in Ryo's upper arm and tapped it lightly. Placing an open palm over where the blade had penetrated the skin Kiba initiated a healing jutsu as he gently pulled the blade out of Ryo's arm. Kiba didn't say a word as he turned and knelt by the now stirring Sakura and pulled a kunai from her pouch and held it next to the one he had pulled from Ryo. Kiba nodded and muttered to himself then stood and turned back to Ryo and held up the two blades. "A perfect match. These blades as well as the blade stuck in the wall behind you belong to Sakura. Any idea as to how a blade from Sakura was in your arm? My theory is once you started your attack they realized what was happening and tried to late to stop you. As for looks. My friend you are correct. Eyes are the window to the soul, but the soul can lie. How many cold blooded killers have been let go because there was no evidence at the time and they seemed to be the epitome of innocence in appearance only to be arrested and proven guilty of the most horrific crime and still show no signs they had done it. How about me. If the body and soul never lie how is it you didn't know of my true identity until I brought it to light. Tell me my friend. Do you really think me naive enough to believe one cannot lie without showing physical symptoms? Surely you an AMBU agent would know a shinobi is master of all aspects of his body. As for you crown jewel of reasoning may I point out that Sakura is the only one in the room that wasn't hit directly with a blade but was still affected by the Jutsu. May I also point out that you are the only one in the room not affected by the Jutsu at all. Your love for Sakura is even self evident in the attack. She is not injured, but will have no memory of what happened. So your defense is the one with holes my friend. It is amazing what desperation will do to a man. You may not have wanted to make an attempt at taking life, but the alternative might not have been to your liking and you panicked. So yes I believe if pushed far enough even you would tilt this village to chaos. As to your offer. I will take it as I am still in light of this new evidence," Kiba held up the kunai, "only giving you a Thirty-two percent chance of being the attacker. As to who you do this for it is irrelevant. Your willingness to work and clear your name keeps your percentage from rising. Also due to the fact that we know other shinobi were in the village this evening We must also follow those leads as well. Whether they were here to make sure you made the attack or if it is as you say and they were the attackers is still up to investigation, but as I said your cooperation is appreciated despite why you give it. As to the blades. I was not speaking of the blades on your personage. They are all an assortment belonging to the three kunoichi. I was speaking of the blades embedded in the wall and bodes. Behind the desk. Thes have your crest on them the ones in you do not. The fact that you are unable to show any blades thrown in a defensive direction with your crest does little for your case. If this is as you claim. An elaborate set up. Someone went through a lot of trouble to frame you. Whether you did this or not is still open. If I can I will clear you but honesty said it doesn't look good. As for the boot prints. Look again they all are of the same shape and size. They all happen on this side of the desk. Either the attacker you speak of never touched the floor or he as well was wearing Ta bi boots." Kiba sighed and tossed the blades he had been holding onto the cluttered desk and cracked his neck. "As to invading your mind. I swear I take no pleasure in invading the private sanctuary of your mind. That should be a mans last safe haven, but in your case the monitoring was necessary and I assure you my presence did no harm or weakening. I for the time being will refrain from entering it unless absolutely necessary. Now I suggest you make your way to the mountains. As a suspect in an on going investigation I cannot permit you to go alone. Chose someone to accompany you. My summons will accompany you to your destination." With this Kiba turned and resumed studying the office.
