Introduction
Two shinobi rushed into the Yamagakure 2 hospital carrying a man who was badly wounded. Inside one of the medic ninja saw the two carrying the limp body towards her, "Is a doctor here?" one of the men asked. "I am a doctor." she told them as she observed the body. It was of a boy, just barely over eighteen. "We would have taken him to Konoha, but in this weather it is impossible..." one of the men said. She ignored him and lifted the boy's blood soaked shirt, revealing a big slashing rip along his shoulder and another on his leg. "What in hell's name happened to him?!" she exclaimed. "Construction accident..." the man on the left said as they lifted the boy onto a hospital table.

The kid was pale, shivering and unconscious. The medic saw that the kid was weak and would most certainly die. A big tearing laceration ran from his shoulder to his torso, the shoulder was dislocated, the skin at the edge of the wound was shredded, and pale bones where exposed. A second slash cut through the heavy muscle in his thigh, deep enough to reveal the pulse of the femoral artery. Her first impression was that his leg had been ripped open.

"Tell me again about this...injury." she said suspiciously. "I didn't see it." the first man started. "They said that he fell off of a building being constructed. The medic recoiled at the story, "Really, because it looks like as if he has been mauled." she said as she probed the wound. In her past as a medic she had seen two maulings. One was a two year old child that had been attacked by a dog. The other was with a drunken shinobi who had a chance encounter with a mountain tiger. Both injuries were similar.

"Mauled?" the second man asked, "No, no it was a fall, believe me." The man licked his lips as he spoke. He was edgy, acting as if he had done something wrong. The medic wondered why. She bent down and probed the wound further with her finger. If he had really fallen, their would be dirt and metal (from the construction site) forced deep into the wound. But there wasn't any dirt, just a thick, slippery foam. And the wound had a strange odor, a kind of rotten stench, a smell of death and decay. She had never smelled anything like it before. "How long ago did this happen?" she said looking up a the men. "About an hour." the first man said. Again she noticed how tense the men were. He didn't look like a construction worker, more like a high class shinobi. The medic turned back to the injuries. Somehow she didn't think she was looking at a fall trauma. It just didn't look right.

It really did look like a maul to her. On the other hand, most of the rest of body was unmarked, which was unusual for an animal attack. She looked again at the head, the chest, the hands- The hands. She felt a chill as she looked at the child's hands. There were short slashing cuts on both palms, bruises on the wrists and forearms. She had worked in the village long enough to know what that meant. Sh really thought the injuries were caused by bites. Then the kid groaned. His lips moved, his tongue thick. "Biju.." he groaned, "It was the Biju.." At those words the men froze and stepped back in horror. "What is that suppose to mean?" the medic asked. "I do not know, doctor." the second man said. "Biju..what biju? A..a Tailed beast?!" she asked puzzled. All of a sudden the boy began convulsing violently, coughing up blood and falling off the table. The medic knew what would happen next and sure enough he died.

The men panicked and grabbed the body, leaping out the window, and running into the forest. The medic chased after them, "Wait! Come back here." She stopped at the edge of the woods as she was illuminated by lightning, "Lord Yamakage must know.."
