Chapter Text
_•_
Kurenai, Might Guy, Asuma, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Yamato are sitting in the training grounds of old Team 7.
“So what do you guys want to do?" Asuma asked the group of people with him.
“I'm not sure..." responded Kurenai as she looked around in hopes that someone had an idea.
"It's boring sitting here with nothing to do!!!" Jiraiya complained as he waved his hands around.
"I have an idea!" Tsunade said with an evil smile on her face as she joined the group.
"I don't like the look on your face..." Yamato whispered to Kakashi as he looked up from his book. "What is it?" he asked, a little nervous as to what the crazy kunoichi had in mind.
Tsunade tells the group what her idea is, causing a mixed reaction in the group.
"Ooo~ That sounds like fun! Let's get the victims—er, participants—and get started!!!" Kurenai said, clapping her hands. Asuma and Jiraiya were excited, and Yamato and Kakashi shared a concerned look.
_•_
The group set up a whole room to play the game that they had in mind. Know they get the participants in the room.
_•_
"So why are we here?" asked Temari, looking around the room that she and the others were brought to.
"We are bored." Asuma started as he studied the group in front of him.
"So we thought we'd set up a fun game for you guys!" Jiraiya continued as he banged in place.
"And we will watch you guys play!" Kurenai ended with a chirp.
The participants looked at each other and were silent for a bit before Tenten spoke up. "Why us? And what game is it?” She asked, looking at their senses.
"Well, you guys are our students, and the game is like a training exercise." Kakashi explained, looking at his book.
"Then why are we here?" Kankurk asked, pointing at himself and his siblings.
"Well, you guys were in Konoha, so we thought to add you guys to it! And it's good for village relations." Tsunade said happily, making everyone sweatdrop.
"W-What is the game?" Hinata stuttered as usual as she clotted her fingers together.
"A MOST YOUTHFUL GAME OF DECEIT, LIES, AND BETRAYAL!!!" Might Guy said, doing his pose, he was now for it.
"You will be playing Advanced Murderer Mystery,” Yamato said as he tried not to pinch his nose.
"How is this training?" Neji asked, his arms crossed.
"By acting to figure out who the murderer is, or murderers are, we will be practicing our detective skills and practicing keeping secrets, how to hide evidence or put the blame on others, and how to get out of some sticky situations if we get caught or close to getting caught working together with strangers, keeping our guard up because no one is trustworthy in this game, and there are many other skills we can get from this game." Sakura explained as she looked at the group in front of her.
"That is indeed correct, Sakura!" Tsunade said happily that she might be a little drunk.
"So how do we play?” Lee asked easily as he jumped in play.
"Well, you won't actually kill each other. The killer, or killers, will choose who they want to kill, and the person will be out of the game till the next game. The person they killed cannot vote or talk in discussions. When we say "close your eyes,” you close your eyes, and the killers will point to who they want to kill, and that person is out. After that you can have a discussion to figure out who the killer is and whether you can choose to vote or not. There are a couple different roles: the killer, or killers; the detective, or detectives; the witch; the accountant; the muffin man; the maid or butler; the couple; and lastly, civilians!” Jiraiya explained as he watched the reactions of the people in front of him.
"How come they work? How does it end? And what are the other roles?" Ino asks, looking at them scarily.
"The killer or killers have to try and kill everyone, and if they do so, they win; if they don't and get caught, they lose. The detective's job is to catch the killer, or killers. If a detective dies by a killer and is not voted out, they will be told one of the killer's identities, and they can give a hint as to who it is. The Witch can bring one person back from the dead, or they can bring themselves back from the dead, and if they get killed by a killer or voted out, they have one chance to bring who they think the killer is with them by 'poisoning' them. The accountant in every round can choose who to see the card of; this can either be really good and make you safe or really bad if you're the killer. The muffin man can give someone a muffin, and that person is safe from the killer or killers that ran. The maid, or butler, has to choose someone from the beginning of the game and protect them or help them. Basically, if you're one of the others and not a killer, if the killer kills you instead, the maid or butler will die instead. If you are the killer, the maid or butler will help you kill, so that will make the maid or butler another killer. If the maid or butler works to get voted out, they will work for one of the other killers. The couple—if one of you dies, the other will die as well; if one of the couple is brought back to life, so is the other. Lastly, the civilians do nothing special; they don't have any special abilities like the others." Tsunade explained the rolls as she put a piece of paper in a box.
"How many of each roll will there be? Why? That seems important.” Shino asked, looking at the group in front of him.
"There are 16 of you playing, so there will be 1 of each: 1 accountant, 1 muffin man, 1 maid or butler, 1 couple, 2 detectives, 3 killers, and 5 civilians. So come up here, and pull out this hat to see what you are!" Kakashi said as he picked up the box and shook it.
_•_
They all get pieces of paper out of the hat. Then they all look at their piece of paper.
_•_
Kiba looked disappointed, Hinata looked nervous, and Shino looked passive.
"I'm a youthful—” Lee said before cutting himself off, remembering he can't say what he is.
Tenten gave him a look, then she looked at her paper and shrugged. Neji, Sasuke, Sai, and Gaara looked at some. Ino looked scared, and Shikamaru looked bored and tired. Kankuro looked happy with what he got. Temari looked nervous and looked around the room at everyone. Choli shrugged and continued eating his chips. Naruto looks excited for whatever he gets. Sakura just smiled.
"Ok! Now get into a circle!" Kurenai said. Everyone did as she said and sat in a circle.
_•_
"Now close your eyes, and open them when I ask for what you are! And for the maid or butler, we'll tap you on the shoulder to open your eyes again when the one you choose opens their eyes!" Tsunade explained as everyone closed their eyes.
"Know that everyone can close their eyes!" Asuma said he worked to make sure that everyone did so. "Know if you're the maid or butler; please open your eyes and choose your master!" Asuma said as the person opened their eyes and gave a gaster to whom they wished their master to be.
"Now please close your eyes,” Yamato said, and once the maid or butler did so, he continued, "If you are a killer, you may open your eyes!" Yamato said, and the 3 killers opened their eyes. One of the killers was handed something that said, 'The maid, or butler, works for you!!' Then Yamato tapped the maid or butler on the shoulder and handed them the card that said, 'Your master is a killer!' The maid or butler and the killers all looked at each other and were shocked to see who all were killers. The maid or butler showed the others who they were in case they were confused on why there were 4 of them, and then they closed their eyes.
"Ok, if you are a couple, open your eyes!" Kakashi said the 2 opened their eyes, and they looked at each other; one shrugged, and the other's eyes widened before going back to normal. They then closed their eyes again.
"If you are a YOUTHFUL person who opens your eyes!" Guy, whose eyes were opened and who was handed a poison and revival card. They then closed their eyes.
"If you are the muffin man, open your eyes!" Kurenai said the muffin man opened their eyes, looked around, and closed them again.
"If you are a detective, you may open your eyes!" Jiraiya said the 2 detectives opened their eyes and looked at each other with their eyes again.
"Lastly, if you are an accountant, you may open your eyes!" Tsunade said the accountant's opinion in their eyes and looked at her before closing them.
"Now everyone may open their eyes!" Asuma said they did as they were told.
"Hey, why didn't you ask the civilians to open their eyes?" Sakura asked, "We don't want the 5 to know who else is innocent, but we had the others open their eyes so we know who is who!" Kurenai explained. Sakura nodded her head in understanding.
"Ok! So now the real game will begin!" Tsunade said before she took a swig from her drink.
"Ok, everyone, close your eyes!" Jiraiya said, and everyone closed their eyes.
"Ok, killers, open your eyes and point to the people you want to kill. Please close your eyes once you're done!" Kakashi said. They did as they were told.
"Ok, now, accountant, do you want to see someone called?” Kurenai asked the accountant, shocked they had none.
“The muffin man opened your eyes and chose someone to give a muffin to, and then please open your eyes.” Yamato said they did as they were told.
“Oks! Everyone opened your eyes!” Guy said, doing his pose and grin.
"The people who died were Sasuke, Kiba, Choji, and almost Ino, but the Muffin Man gave her a muffin before she was killed.” Asuma said as Kiba started to complain.
"So 3 people were killed, and 1 homestead got killed with that. The maid or butler is working with the killers... We need to figure out why the thoughts of those who died first were targeted." Shikamaru said, looking at the group with analyzing eyes.
"Ok, so who would Ino die for?” Sai asked, looking at the group around him.
"A lot of people in this room..." Kankuro said, looking in the opposite direction away from Sai and Ino.
"What is that supposed to mean!?" Ino said, sounding offended at being held back by the shoulder by her sensei.
“Nothing!” Kankuro said, putting his hands up in the air.
"Who would Sasuke-kun die for, though?" Ino said, looking at the Uchiha with adoring eyes.
"Anyone who is smart…” Temari responded, looking at anyone but Sasuke and Naruto.
"What does that mean!? Did you kill me!?" Sasuke sensed killing intent radiating off of him.
"What, no!?" Temari responded by acting offended, with a hand over her heart.
"Ok, so let's think. It's probably Temari or Kankuro, right?” Shino asked as he assumed they looked at each other behind his glasses.
"Most likely!" Naruto responded, glaring at Tamari, offended at what she said about Sasuke.
"O-ok, so who's v-voting for who?" Hinata asked, looking around the group purposely.

"I was a citizen!!!" Kankuro complained as he showed his piece of paper.
The others stared for a second before turning to Sasuke, Kiba, and Choji.
"I was a citizen of the wall..." Sasuke said, showing his piece of paper.
"I was the witch!" Choji said as he showed his piece of paper with a smile.
"I was a citizen…” Kiba pouted as he waved his piece of paper.
“Oh! Choji, do you want to bring someone back or poison someone?” Tsunade asked, looking at the young man.
"I would like to, ummm... poison Tamari since there were some people who voted for her!" Choji said, looking at the women gently.
"Wall shit..." Tamari responded, looking at them with slight disappointment.
"Well, were you a killer, Temari?" Sakura asked as she started to write down who was what.
"Nope! I was a detective!" Tamari responded by popping the "p” as she showed her piece of paper.
"Well then..." Gaara whispered, looking at the others with distrust, though no one could really tell with his glasses.
