259

Team Sarada investigates a series of attacks targeting ex-shinobi at night. After seeing a couple cats on patrol, Mitsuki reveals that his cat Mikazuki has been missing since the Funato attack. Wandering around, Mitsuki finds a musician named Hibiki with Mikazuki. She explains that, in his absence, Mikazuki got injured and found itself at Hibiki's, where she took care of her. The two go for a walk, but Mitsuki soon breaks off, once Hibiki's older brother comes by, who seems to hate shinobi. While investigating again, Mitsuki catches the criminals in the act, forcing them to flee. He tracks them to Hibiki and her brother's food stand, where he realizes that they are the assailants, but he tells the others that the criminals fled to the rooftops. Mitsuki persuades Hibiki to reveal their reasons and learn that they are searching for the thief who murdered their father. The thief has a scar left by their father before dying. Team Sarada arrives just in time to save Hibiki and her brother from the real killer. Having helped in apprehending a killer, Hibiki and her brother are allowed to leave the Leaf Village but are banned from returning. (Source: Wikipedia)
