  Hokage office.

  Hiruzen stood still, shocked and in disbelief at what he just heard.

  "Tsubaki! Are you sure about that?" The question came before he could even stop himself.

  "Yes sir. There is no mistaking it." The Hyuga Jonin replied.

  Hiruzen's mind worked faster than it had in a long time. He recalled the day when Shisui Uchiha fided in him and his advisors on his Mangekyo Sharingan powers. He also recalled the day the young Uchiha died and what the was about to do at that time.

  'Shisui was going to use his Sharingan to stop the revolt but the hing I hear is that he itted suicide. I had no clue what drove him to do something like that but now… The only way Danzo would have his Sharingan is if he took it from Shisui… The power of his eyes. Now that I think about it, Danzo would definitely covet something like that. He went after Kakashi's Sharingan once upon a time. So it's not a stretch to assume he'd do something like that again.'

  Hiruzen had a startling realization. 'Danzo killed Shisui. But that note Shisui left…. No. A shinobi like him wouldn't it suicide unless he had nothing else. Either Danzo killed Shisui and disguised it as a suicide or something else happened. But he is involved in this. But how do I find out what happened?... Itachi! He would know. I o make tact with him. I o know the truth.'

  "Lord Hokage. What is it?"

  Hiruzen raised his head and looked at the two loyal shinobi in front of him. "I believe in your assessment. If it is a Sharingan then I believe it's Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan that's in Danzht eye. Shisui Uchiha itted suicide over a year before the Uchiha massacre. But it seems that's a lie."

  "Lord Hokage, not that I'm doubting you or Tsubaki, but you seem absolutely sure that it's Shisui's eye that Danzo has. Why?" The Anbu amed Bear asked his kage.

  Hiruze out a breath and a few seds ter replied. "Shisui had something called Mangekyo Sharingan. It's an advaage of the Sharingan eveer thaomoe. Only a handful of people in history were able to awaken the Mangekyo eyes. Those who awakehose eyes were granted unique powers. Shisui had the ability called Kotoamatsukami. It's a powerful genjutsu that allows the user to ehe victim's mind and manipute them by giving false experiences. And the victims would be pletely unaware they were being maniputed. Those who know it regard it as the most powerful genjutsu ience."

  The eyes of the two ninjas in the Hokage's office widened as they heard that.

  "That's… If Danzo had something like that…" Tsubaki was startled as they heard the power of Shisui's Sharingan eye.

  "But sir, wouldn't there be drawbacks to something like that? Every powerful jutsu must have some weakness." Bear deduced that something as powerful as that genjutsu must have some sort of a weakness.

  "Yes. Every powerful jutsus has their risks but… With Hashirama Senju's power added to the mix, I'm not sure." Hiruzen looked at the two ninjas in front of him. "I will e up with the necessary ter measures. Tsubaki. Make sure to check Bear's status from time to time. I 't have him falling under Danzo's power."

  "Yes sir."

  Land of Iron.

  In a hidden in the snowy forest in the nd of Iron, three medijas were taking some mueeded rest.

  Daichi only needed 4 hours of sleep and after waking up he went downstairs to the small kit to cook something for the group. He ksunade and Shizune would be mentally tired after an ordeal like this and wao help them.

  Daichi had many ingredients stored in his iory and in a scroll in case of an emergency like this.

  He made the necessary preparations and began preparing the foods. Cooking rexed Daichi. It had a calming effe him simir to painting ardening. After sometime several exquisite smells drifted out of the kit which woke the other two temporary residents in the .

  "Wow… That smells delicious Daichi." Shizune came first and Tonton walked in as well.

  "Thanks. It's going to taste eveer than it smells." Daichi grinned and gave a cheeky reply.

  A few moments ter Tsunade joihem i. "It's really handy to have our own personal chef isn't it Shizune."

  "Yes. The dishes are quite delicious. His cooking skills have certainly improved. I'm half tempted to keep him with us." Shizune replied with a small ugh.

  "Oink oink!"

  "See. Even Tonton agrees." Tsunade ruffled Daichi's hair. She k always got to him.

  The slug Sannin and her first appreeased the young boy. They ughed seeing Daichi's annoyed face.

  "I could stay with you or… you two could e back to the vilge with me." Daichi replied back with a smile.

  Hearing that Tsunade smile slightly turned sad. But it was only for a moment. She snorted and turned her head. "A tempting offer. But I'll pass. Maybe I'll visit on a while to check up on you and see if you screwed anything up but I like roaming around the pce."

  Daichi shrugged in a nont manner. "Your loss."

  In a short while all the dishes were prepared and they set the table. The 3 ninjas plus a pet pig had a fortable meal and finally rexed after the life threatening ordeal they went through.

  At that moment Tsunade looked and Daichi decided to broach a delicate subject.

  "How are you feeling Daichi?" She asked him.

  Daichi was fused for a moment. "I feel fine." He replied unsure why she would ask him now.

  "Unless I'm mistaken you've had your first kill today, haven't you?"

  Daichi's eyes slightly widened as he heard that. He had pletely dismissed it. Due to a bination of gamers' minds, his numerous kills in the dungeon and the kill during the heat of the battle he didn't give it any thought.

  "If you're asking me if I had some nightmares over those kills ret my as, then the answer is no." Daichi replied with a straight face.

  Tsunade looked at the kid for a few moments and then asked. "Why?" Shizune was also paying attention to Daichi.

  Daichi was silent as he thought about how to best ahat question. After a minute of silence he gave his reply. "I uand the life I chose. One day I'm going to have to make the choie or my enemy. And I know the kind of person I am. I don't feel a over killing them. It was in the heat of the battle. But I also didn't enjoy it. If it were just me, I might have tried to escape or I would have tried to subdue them and killing them would have been a st resort. But it wasn't just my life that was at stake, your lives were also in danger. I won't take the life of every enemy I e across, but to those that threaten my life and the people I care about, to those that truly deserve it, I won't show any mercy."

  Tsunade looked at Daichi's resolute fad let out a small breath. "You have a stro and mind. You are dealing with this better than most kids ye would… The piece of advice I give you in this situation is, don't let it e you. With your strength, it won't be long before enemies e for you. You will have to make choices like this again and again. Don't let those decisions swallow you up… Make sure you have someone you t on to help you through in your dark times. No one go at it alone and not ge."

  Daiodded. "I uand."

  "You saved my life, you know. You're a good kid with a good heart. Don't fet that." Shizune said, smiling at Daichi.

  Daiodded, smiling.

  "I 't help but wonder who those people were? They must have had a reason for such a brazen attack." Shizuuro her mentor and said as she thought about the attackers.

  "Too bad we don't have any bodies. If we did, we could have figured out where they came from." Tsunade sighed.

  Daichi was looking at his food and was trating on finishing his pte. He didn't want to let the other two know that he had two intact fresh corpses of the root ninjas with him.

  Daichi had checked the status of the first two ninjas he killed after taking the scrolls out of the iory. The bodies were preserved and were still warm as if they were only killed a few minutes ago. Daichi quickly sealed them baside the scroll and pced them ba his iory.

  'Tsunade sensei is right. But it's better that I hold on to these bodies. I could study them and figure out so many things. Their bodies tain valuable information on the root after all. If I learn some Yamanaka mind teiques or increase the level of my Mana skills and create a skill that read memories of the dead, then I get the root secrets. This is a valuable opportunity, and I 't waste it… Although something like this will defiake some time to aplish.'

  —-

  The m the trio of medijas left the pd tinued on with their journey. Within seven hours they reached their destination.

  "This is the Land of Medie. If we go inwards then we'll reach the 'Three Wolves' mountain ranges." Tsunade gave a run down of the nd to Daichi.

  At that moment Daichi received a system notification.

  [Mini-Map has been updated.

  Location - Three Wolves Mountain Range.]

  "Now, there are three vilges situated at the base of each mountain. The Howling Wolf Vilge, Awakening Wolf Vilge and Nourishing Wolf Vilge. We'll first be heading to the Howling Wolf Vilge. They sell medies and shinobi services. I spent some time here training a long time ago. e on."

  "Are medial herbs the specialty of this pce?" Daichi asked his teacher.

  "Yes. The region surrounding the mountain range is filled with medical pnts and rare herbs. It's why it's called the Land of Medie. A person with adequate knowledge would be able to make over 300 medies with just the herbs that could be fouhe Howling Wolf Vilge."

  "Wow." Daichi's eyes widened with excitement. 'If I increase my knowledge I maybe level up several skills and increase the effects of several of my medical skills.'

  Tsunade led the other twh the mountain range and soon reached the Howling Wolf vilge. She headed in a certain dire and soon stood in front of a small home. She knocked on the door a few times and a few seds ter it opened.

  A man with dull blue hair opehe door and his eyes widened as he saas standing in front of him. The sed he quickly shut the door in her face without a word.

  Daichi and Shizuood bad had an awkward expression seeing what just happened.

  Tsunade knocked on the dain. "e on Denjiru, open up."

  "Go away." A voice came from the inside.

  "Oh e on! Are you still mad about what happened?"

  "Yes!"

  "What if I say I remedy that?" Tsunade said in a somewhat teasing tone as she looked at the locked door.

  Daichi who was standing several feet back sweat dropped. 'This sounds like the start of a bad porno.'

  "Unless you have my 400,000Ryo there's nothing you do."

  "I have it."

  After she said those words there was a few seds of silend then the door opened once again. The blue haired man looked at Tsunade and asked her to show him the money.

  Tsuook a scroll from her jacket and tossed it at the man. He ope and was surprised to see it filled with money.

  " I e in now?" The slug Sannin asked.

  The man signed. "You're just gonna break my door down now if I say no. So what's the point?" With that he slowly opehe door and Tsuered the small residence followed by Shizune and Daichi.

  Daichi looked at the man. 'I wonder what's the story with him?'
