5am next morning, Konoha's citizens awoke to a horror. A woman walking her dog early this morning, yawning she had not heard the low threatening growl coming from her Saint Bernard's throat.
With a mighty pull he escaped the hold of his owner having the leash letting out angry, threatening barks to the agitator in the alley. His master commanding him to come back. He couldn't, not with a threat so close to where they live.
Giving a mighty, throaty howl he ran through the alleyway to the source of the threat. Slowing to a halt as it grew close, he put his nose to the pavement and began sniffing. Finding the stench of decay filling up his nose, sneezing and shaking his massive head, he lifted his head up and took a whiff of the air, only to freeze still. The scent of the threat was heavy in the air mixed with a heavy scent of iron, almost smothering, the scent of a predator.
Tucking his tail in between his legs, lowering his body close to the ground to make himself as small as possible as the predator focused it's attention to him, leaving the carcass it was feeding on, the tearing of flesh and crunching of bone stopped. The Saint Bernard was making soft pitiful whines and trying to crawl away slowly from it. The massive furred creature gave a sniff to its his head before raising it's head lifting it's blood soaked lips showing its bloodstained teeth. Giving off a terrible sound that was mixed between a growl and snarl, making the large Saint Bernard turn tail and running, yelping all the way back to his master.

....I hour later.....

The 'DO NOT ENTER' yellow police tape covered the entrances to the alleyway, the lights on the cars were flashing their blue and red lights as they just arrived in the scene. Blood, blood everywhere. The crimson red substance was splattered like a bucket of paint all over the walls. Pools of red on the dirty alleyway floor, officers begrudgingly having to step in the pools of red, those unlucky enough slipping in the still wet and fresh pools. Flashes of the cameras went off with a 'click' 'click' and the flashes lighting up the dark and gruesome crime scene.
Needing a break from the heavy smell of iron, and eyes glowing bright red in the dark, Chief of Police Fugaku Uchiha, vampire. Has been working on the force for 15 years. He's seen it all, to raging drunks to homicides. Yet nothing can compare to the brutal murders that have been happening these past months. The first time everyone thought it was some psychopath and they would catch him in a few days, until the next body appeared. And the press wasn't helping either. Scaring the hell out of everyone with saying that it was a beast. Someone who gone rogue. Fugaku ordering his men to keep information low given to the media. It was like adding fuel to the fire.
Every lead, every suspect was just a dead end. With more bodies piling up each month and getting no closer to solving this mess. With a sigh and message to his forehead, as the blood red irises faded back to black. Fugaku's son Itachi, a prodigy to the Uchiha clan, examined what remained of the poor soul for his father needed a break from all of the blood. It was hard getting close to the body without stepping on the small intestines. Their face was ripped off giving the examiner a difficult time to find out just who they were. The sinewy muscle and white bone can clearly be seen on the face as if the skin was peeled away to see inside. The person's eyes had a shocked expression on their face, even without the entire face, Itachi can clearly see that the person was screaming their lungs out before death hit them, literally.
"Our victim here is a woman in her late twenties, definitely married. The time of death seems to be around 11:00pm to 12:00am." The pathologist, Tsunade Senju said with utter disgust at the scene.
"How can you tell she's married?" Shishui Uchiha, asked with curiosity in his voice. Tsunadae huffed and then pointed towards one of the remaining attached limbs with little to no mauling on it. A look of disgust and horror crossed Shishui's face, thinking how in the hell that the arm was the most intact.
Another police officer came over to them with, holding a cloth covering his nose and mouth, he was new to the job and scenes like this tend to get people queasy. Itachi heard him come in before he announced his presence.
"Sorry to interrupt you from the investigation, but there's a person here claiming to be the victims husband." The officer said waiting for an order to be given out.

"We'll be there in a few." Shisui told him with a small nod signaling for the officer to leave the scene now. Leaving Tsunade to photograph the rest of the scene.
