  Leaf Vilge - 7:17 am.

  Kakashi was resting under a tree, leaning against it with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. For ordinary people it would seem as if he was sleeping. It was only partially true.

  Even during his rest, the silver haired Jonin sehe approach of another ninja from a distand quickly opened his eye. He was familiar with the chakra signature of the new arrival and was slightly surprised.

  A few moments ter a masked ninja jumped down from the trees and stood in front of the copy-inja..

  "It's been a while, Kakashi senpai."

  Kakashi stood from the spot and stretched his limbs. "Tenzo? This is a surprise. Last time I saw you was around a year ago."

  "Yeah. I got doh my missions aurned a few days ago." The Anbu ninja replied as he took off his mask and pulled back his hoodie. His short brown hair and bck almond shaped eyes became visible to the world.

  "So what brings you by here?" Kakashi asked his friend.

  "I heard you were on babysitting duty." Tenzo spoke as he looked to his right. A short distance away was Kensei's home, protected by a small barrier.

  Kakashi chuckled when he heard that and looked towards the house. "Trust me. He is no baby."

  "Lord Hokage wanted an update. Has anything unusual happened si night? Any ued visitors?" Tenzo asked with a slightly serious tone and the silver haired Jonin narrowed his visible eye.

  "I didn't sense anything amiss. Nobody went in or out and I didn't sense anyone near here." Kakashi replied and after a few seds of silence, he whistled.

  Moments ter several ninja dogs appeared in front of him.

  "Did anyone e his location?" Kakashi asked them just to make sure.

  "No. We kept a tight patrol. Nothing out of the ordinary." One of the ninja dogs replied.

  Kakashi nodded with a smile. "Thank you guys." Kakashi gave them a scroll. "You all go baow. I'll take it from here."

  The ninja dogs barked and vanished in a puff of smoke and Daichi's teacher turo Tenzo. "Everything's fine."

  "That's good." Tenzo let out a small breath of relief.

  "What's going on?" Kakashi was curious about Tenzo's sudden visit. He k had to do with more than Daichi.

  "Last night Lord Hokage and Jiraiya assembled a team and attacked the Root. I art of the raid."

  Tenzo's words shocked Kakashi and his eye slightly widehis was big news.

  "What happeo Danzo?" The silver haired Jonin asked.

  "He's in custody and under heavy surveilhe head of the interrogation and analysis departments are with him right now."

  Kakashi internally sighed as he recalled the face of the ruthless man he once worked under. 'Lord Hokage taking a against Danzo? I knew he was tired of Danzo's reckless decisions but I hought he would un attack, especially at this time.'

  "There's something else you should know." Tenzo spoke. Kakashi noticed the temosphere around him.

  "Someone broke into Danzo's base shortly before us and stole several valuable pieces of intelligend Hidden jutsu exclusive to the vilge."

  "Who?"

  Tenzo shook his head at that question. "We don't know. All we have is a description. But Lord Hokage suspects that this individual could be a Leaf ninja or someone hiding in the vilge. Someone who knows Danzo well and most probably participated in the 3rd world war."

  "Have the barrier sensors reported aering or leaving?" Kakashi was onbu captain. So he had an idea what kind of intelligence Danzo would have kept in his base of operations.

  "No. Sensor ninjas didn't report any suspicious individuals." Tenzo replied calmly.

  Kakashi closed his eyes and leaned oree. "Havis of the vilge leaked, at this time, would cause serious chaos. Especially with Orochimaru's abdu of Lady Tsunade."

  Suddenly the silver haired Jonin's eye snapped open. "Wait! What about Naruto?"

  "Don't worry. A team has his home surrouhey're keeping a close wat him…"

  Kakashi nodded with relief. "Has there been any progress on Orochimaru's front?"

  "Yeah." Tenzo nodded. "He has several hidden bases around the Land of Fire. Siime is of the essehe Hokage wao attack all of them at once. Seven teams were mobilized several ho. Unless I'm mistaken, the raid should begin shortly."

  Kakashi nodded in uanding. Since he was guarding Daichi all night he wasn't aware of the deployment of the Leaf Ninjas.

  Tenzo gazed at Kakashi. "Lord Hokage wanted me to ched see if everything's fih Daichi. He also wao update you ouation. That's why I am here now." Tenzo turo face Daichi's home.

  "Well, thankfully nothiing happened here st night." Kakashi spoke as he looked towards the house. A few seds ter a frown slowly formed on his face. Kakashi tilted his head up and looked at the sky before turning his attention back to Daichi's home.

  Tenzo noticed the odd movements. "What's wrong?"

  Kakashi was silent for a few moments and slowly began making his way to Kensei's house. "It's just… Daichi should have been up by now. Especially with all that's happening… Even on a normal day, I've never seen him sleep in so te."

  Tenzo nodded as he walked beside him. "Well, you said no ohe premises. I don't doubt your skill. Maybe he just hasn't woken up."

  "Maybe..." The silver Jonin had a good uanding of his student. 'Based on his personality, he should have woken up and found me an ho and would have wao see the Hokage for any update… So what's taking him so long?'

  The two Leaf ninjas reached the home and Kakashi pced his right hand oe. The barrier sensed his chakra and allowed him entry while Tenzo stood outside.

  Meanwhile Inside.

  [You have slept in a bed. HP, CP, SP and MP have been fully restored.]

  Daichi opened his eyes feeling refreshed and full. With his energy aal faculties fully restored to their peak he was ready for the day.

  He ighe other notifications and opehe quest list. He looked at the timer on the Rescue Tsunade Senju mission. 'Less than 35 hours remaining to plete this quest. If I don't save them in 35 hours there's a good ce Orochimaru might kill them.'

  Daichi sat up and closed his eyes. Last night during his sleep his shadow ao infiltrate the Land of Earth and was doing his own iigation.

  'Looks like he's mao stay by taking chakra from nearby merary ninjas. He should narrow down my search list.'

  Daichi looked at his own chakra points and smiled. 'Full CP. Creating shadow es aing a full rest gets my chakra back to full strength. But still, it only works if I have 4 or less shadow es operating while I sleep.'

  Daichi suddenly sensed a preseering his pound. 'Kakashi sensei.'

  A few knocks on the door came from below and the gamer ninja got out of his bed and made his way downstairs. On his way down he looked at the few notifications in the er of his window. One in particur caught his eye.

  [Skill Flying Thunder God Teique has Leveled up]

  'As expected. I used this skill a few times. Still… Such a useful skill. I got to level this up quickly.'

  [Flying Thunder God Teique - Active (LV. 02): This is an S rank high-level space-time ninjutsu that allows the user to instantly teleport to any loarked with their unique seal. inally developed by the Sed Hokage and perfected by the Fourth Hokage, this teique offers unmatched speed and strategic advantage in bat.]

  .

  [he effectiveness, range, aility of these abilities would rgely depend on the user's knowledge, skill level, and amount of chakra. Mastery of this Jutsu requires exceptional spatial awareness, chakra trol, and precision. As with all other jutsu, the stant use of these abilities would drain the user's chakra, with more plex and powerful applications requiring more energy to use.]

  [Limitations: The user must touch the object or location to pce the teleportation seal. The teique be tered by disrupting the user's chakra flow or removing the seals. Using the jutsu multiple times in rapid succession lead to severe chakra depletion.]

  Daichi closed the notification windows and opehe front door.

  "M sensei." Greeted Daichi.

  "M." Kakashi gazed at Daiontly but the boy khe man's sharp eye was taking his appearance down to the smallest detail.

  'Strange. Is he just getting up?'

  Daichi stepped forward and sensed a preseside the barrier. He looked and saw an Anbu ninja waiting outside.

  "Did you just wake up?" Kakashi asked his student.

  The gamer ninja turned his attention back to his teacher. "Yeah. Was going over several files so I slept really te."

  "Mmhm." Kakashi he instant Kakashi rushed forward with a karate chop to Daichi's head.

  The boy was startled with the sudden ued attack, but he quickly defended himself. He successfully blocked the strike and took a defensive posture.

  Kakashi o himself and put his hand in his poud slowly took out his favorite e book.

  "What the hell was that?" Seeing Kakashi no longer intending to tih his attack, Daichi eased up.

  "Just wao make sure it was really you."

  Daichi suddenly uood his teacher's . "You were worried I was a shadow e trying to fool you."

  "I know not to uimate you." Kakashi g his student from the er of his eye.

  "Well, don't worry. I'm not reckless and foolish enough to go out on my own. It will only make the current situation worse." Daichi replied with a calm tone.

  "We're going to meet the Hokage. So freshen up."

  Daiodded and soon he was ready, walking out the house. The Anbu ninja looked at the two and spoke. "Lord Hokage has asked for the two of you."

  Tenzo then g Kakashi and gave a small nod a.

  The silver haired Jonin looked at Daichi and saw that he was quietly staring at the Anbu the whole time. 'Did he find something unusual about Tenzo?'

  Daichi was examining the man without using his 'Observe' skill. It was to improve analysis abilities.

  "What have you found out about him?" Kakashi asked his student.

  "Larger than average chakra reserves. Strong water ah nature but that's not all." Daichi spoke. "Uher ninjas, the way his chakra moves… He use wood style jutsu 't he?"

  Even though he phrased it as a question Kakashi figured Daichi already k was the case. Daichi looked ahead and sehe chakra quickly moving away from their location. 'So that's Captain Yamato. Nht now he should be going by the enzo.'

  "The way his earth chakra nature and water chakra nature are blended in his body. Not to mention his smell." Daichi expined his findings.

  "His smell?" Kakashi uzzled. He had an above average sense of smell but he didn't smell anything in particur from his friend.

  Daiodded. "He smells of forest."

  Kakashi sighed. "You know he's Anbu right. You're not supposed to pry into their secrets. That could nd you in big trouble."

  "Maybe. But if you really think about it, shouldn't he be the one in trouble for not cealing his chakra from me?"

  The one-eyed Jonin internally sighed. "Let's just get to the tower." He didn't say anything else a reading his book.

  As they reached he tower Kakashi suddenly spoke. "Almost fot to ask. You said you were going over some files and slept te. What kind of files? Were you researg some new jutsu?"

  After he woke up te, Daichi had a feeling his sensht ask him such a question. "It wasn't jutsu or training. I was going over the geography and topography of the Land of Earth. Gramps also kept detailed notes on the b small nations. I was studying the best and fastest ways to get into the earth try."

  Kakashi stopped and looked at his student with a serious gaze. "And have you found it?" After a few moments of silence he asked.

  "Maybe. But I need some more information."

  The Jonin put his book bato his poud turo his student. "You realize that I have to report this to the Hokage, right?. He'll only make me keep a closer wat you."

  "I do. I'm not an idiot."

  "You could have lied… Why didn't you?"

  Daichi recalled the happy days he spent with his teachers. His fists ched as he recalled the moment he saw Tonton running up to him yesterday. "I 't just sit bad do nothing. Time is running out for them. But I also know it won't help anyone if I keep secrets and recklessly leave the vilge on my own."

  Daichi looked at Kakashi and the man could see the internal struggle in the boy's eyes. "I know it might put tighter restris on me, but keeping too mas won't help me with saving them."

  Kakashi looked at his student and then nodded in uanding. They walked up the stairs and informed the ninja guarding of their arrival.

  As they waited for the Hokage to summon them Kakashi spoke. "Earlier you said keeping too mas… So I'm assuming there are a few things you haven't told me. What are they?"

  Daichi had a small mysterious smirk and g his teacher. "Guess."

  Kakashi sighed. 'He's imitating me. I don't know if I should be happy or not.'

  At that moment the ninja standing in front of the door nodded. "You two go in."
