The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 70 - A Safe Haven

Daichi was watching everything from the corner of the room. His eyes widened at the brutality displayed in front of him and even more at the person committing the deed. Daichi couldn't believe what he was seeing.

'No way. That's not Itachi. That's... That's... Obito.'

The masked Uchiha brutally and efficiently killed the Uchiha couple in seconds before they could do anything.

As if feeling the death of her parents, at that moment baby Reo woke up and started to cry. But being under the effects of the cloak no sound was heard by anyone other than Daichi.

He tried to calm the baby down while he himself was going through several emotions. His gamer's mind helped him a great deal in staying focused on the task.

Daichi held Reo tightly in his arms. "It's ok. I'm here... Don't cry. Everything is going to be alright."

Daichi was about to leave but then stopped as he saw Obito do something unexpected.

The masked Uchiha took out two containers and quickly plucked the eyes of Ren and Kimiko Uchiha. "The eyes are always fresh even when plucked right after death." He said looking at the dead couple.

Once he completed his task he left the house for his next targets.

Daichi gritted his teeth in anger as he saw what happened. 'That bastard... He... He took their eyes.' At that moment a certain memory came to his mind. The image of dozens of Sharingan in containers at the mountain hideout as Obito replaced Sasuke's Sharingan with Itachi's.

'I can't waste anymore time here, I need to leave.' Without wasting time Daichi bolted from the place. He held Reo tightly in his arms and fled the Uchiha clan compound.

Daichi pushed chakra to his limbs and used the sprint skill to increase his speed. But he made sure the baby in his arms didn't feel any major discomfort.

His destination - Aiko's Orphanage.

Daichi had a plan in mind and he had to make sure everything went perfectly. 'No secret stays buried forever. Someday this village will find out about the existence of Reo and then about what I did tonight. Since Reo is going to be in Aiko's care, the village will question her and then Aiko will no doubt tell them about me. Everything that happened tonight. Every action I took and every word spoken. So I need to be absolutely careful not to say or do the wrong thing. I need my defense to be rock solid.'

Daichi thought about what he would say to convince the orphan matron. After thinking for some time he had a solid idea.

The orphanage was on the opposite side of the Uchiha compound so it took Daichi more than half hour at full speed to reach the place.

Daichi stood in front of the building he lived in for the first 5 years of his life. He took a breath and quietly picked the lock of the front door.

He entered the building without alerting anyone and used Mana scout skill.

'Looks like the children are asleep and the only other person here is Aiko. Good. That will make things easier.'

He made for Aiko's room and once he reached the door he let go of the invisibility. 50 minutes had already passed with him using the cloak. And Daichi only had 40 minutes remaining to complete the quest of rescuing Reo.

'If I enter her room without alerting her then she might react badly. She was a former ninja after all... This way she would recognize my chakra and wouldn't do anything rash.'

Daichi quietly knocked on the door several times.

"I'm coming." The voice of the matron was heard from inside the room. After several seconds the door opened and Matron Aiko was shocked to see Daichi standing there holding a baby.
