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

Chapter 72 - Dark Deals Made In The Shadows 01

Now that his quest was complete, Daichi was running at a moderate pace. He was going back to the orphanage to check up on Reo and talk to Aiko.

'One problem solved. But now when Aiko talks to Kensei about all this and asks about my cloak, I'll be in trouble.'

Daichi gave a long sigh as he ran through the rooftops of the village under his invisibility cloak.

'I could have told her it was my ability but if anyone found out then I would have been killed for having such a dangerous ability or tortured or experimented to find out how it works. Saying it was the cloak would minimize the risk but not entirely. I could have said I found it somewhere but I doubt she'd believe that... For some reason or other she trusts Kensei and I needed that... What's done is done. I'll need to have a talk with him when he gets back.'

Daichi reached the orphanage and went inside. He reached Miss Aiko's room. She was looking at the sleeping baby Reo with sympathy in her eyes. Sensing Daichi's chakra she turned to him.

"Is it done?" Aiko quietly asked.

Daichi nodded his head. He looked at Aiko. "Thank you for this." He said after a minute of silence. Both of them had various thoughts running through their heads.

"I'll try to come by every one or two months." Daichi said to the matron.

Aiko nodded her head. She wouldn't mind him visiting every now and then. "It's getting late. You should head back home."

"Yeah... Miss Aiko?"

"I'll keep what happened here tonight a secret. But I'll need to talk with your grandfather first." Aiko replied to the question she knew Daichi was going to ask.

"Thank you..." The boy slightly bowed his head. He straightened and spoke. "I should go home. It's really late."

Aiko went near Daichi and gave him a hug. "You're a good kid Daichi... Get home safely."

Daichi shortly left the orphanage and headed straight home. On his way he saw several ninjas rushing in all directions.

'Looks like the Anbu and other forces are scrambling to keep things under control... This is the point where Hiruzen removes Danzo from power and disbands the root... Too bad for him. This will only force Danzo to go underground with his root agents... But still... I won't have to worry about him for a while. This incident will force him to keep a low profile. Even if it is for a short time.'

Daichi reached his home a short while later. He got inside the barrier and found his clone sitting on the porch of the house. Daichi removed the cloak and the clone looked at Daichi.

"Everything alright?" The clone Daichi asked.

"Yeah... What about you?"

"See for yourself." With this the clone dispelled itself. The chakra of the shadow clone returned to Daichi and along with it, its memories. Daichi reviewed every second of the memory since the clone left the academy.

'Nothing of significance happened... Good.'

Daichi felt relief spread through body. 'Its over.'

He was feeling several emotions at the moment and the events of the last couple hours were taking its toll. He went straight to bed and soon fell asleep.

Somewhere near the Uchiha clan Compound.

3 people in masks were swiftly moving through the trees. One in the front with the other 2 slightly behind on each side. Each of them had a scroll in their hand. They were root ninjas assigned by Danzo to complete a certain mission.
