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

Chapter 113 - Meeting the Sannin

Daichi sat there in his booth not sure what to do. He decided to listen to the on-goings behind him and then take action.

"Bhaa... You worry too much, Shizune. That pervert will take care of the bill... Where is he anyway?" Tsunade Senju said in a slightly slurred voice.

"Lord Jiraiya isn't here. He said he had to do some extremely important research and left a while ago. I'm sure it's something important and urgent." Shizune said, oblivious to the true nature of the man known as Jiraiya.

Tsunade snorted when she heard that. 'Important research my ass. That idiot is probably at one of the bathhouses.'

At this time Daichi's eyes widened as he heard the exchange between the two. 'Jiraiya is here too... And based on the context he accompanied these two here. Or maybe it's the other way around. Regardless... Two of the Sannins are together here... Did this happen in the series...? Or is this a butterfly effect from my interference?'

Daichi heard the waitress denying Tsunade service.

After thinking for a few more seconds he decided to step in. 'I don't know why she's here or what's going on but I need to make a solid impression. Forming a relationship with her would be beneficial in the long run.'

Daichi turned his head to the waitress behind him. "Excuse me miss..." His voice attracted the attention of the three.

"How much does the lady owe the restaurant? I'll pay for her." Daichi said with a smile.

Tsunade looked at the boy who barged into their conversation. He had black eyes and shoulder length light brown hair and a broad chin. Tsunade looked him over and she estimated that the child was around 10 or 11 years old. She slightly narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything.

Shizune was surprised and was about to reject the boy's offer but the waitress of the restaurant beat her to it.

She was polite even to someone as young as Daichi. "Please sir. There's no need. The lady was just leaving."

As Daichi heard this he turned to look at Tsunade. Both the academy prodigy and the legendary Sannin looked at each other for a couple seconds. Neither said a word.

Daichi turned to the waitress and had a polite smile as he spoke. "I came here for some delicious food and to enjoy it in peace. But if this continues that's not going to happen." He then looked back at Tsunade and continued. "And she doesn't look like she has any intention of leaving here anytime soon." He turned back to the restaurant staff. "So I'm doing this for me. Not her... So I'll ask again. How much does she owe?"

At that moment Shizune spoke. "It's sweet but there's no need. We're just leaving. Isn't that right Lady Tsunade?" Shizune thought the boy was the son of a wealthy official in the capital and if he pays and the news of this incident spreads, her master's reputation may take a nosedive. She wanted to avoid any potential problems for her master. But said master had other plans.

"Nope. He said he's going to pay. And he doesn't look like he has any problems. So calm down. Enjoy the food and drinks." Tsunade said in a nonchalant manner.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune was dismayed.

Daichi slightly laughed. He looked at the waitress. "You heard the lady. How much?"

Daichi could see the struggle of the staff and used Mana puppetry on her. And he got his answer.

"97,439 Ryo." The waitress replied with a smile.

Hearing the amount, Daichi put his hand in his pocket and took a thick stack of bills from his inventory. He gave the amount to the waitress with a cool smile on his face.
