The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 298 - Ambush 02

Land of Sound.

Kimimaro sat on the roof of the main base in the Land of Sound and looked at the clouds. His mind went to what Orochimaru had told him.

Flashback.

Kimimaro looked at his master and spoke. "My Lord, do you think Daichi will leave the village trying to find Tsunade?"

"Yes. Once news reaches the village that I attacked Tsunade, I'm sure young Daichi will be anxious. He won't be able to stay still in the village and will try to search for her himself. I'm sure he'll leave the village." Orochimaru replied with a sinister smile.

"You sound so sure my Lord. What if the Hokage refuses to let him go?" Kimimaro asked his master.

"Kukuku... I'm sure young Daichi will find a way to convince that old man."

Seeing Kimimaro's puzzled gaze Orochimaru continued. "You have much to learn about human nature, Kimimaro. The more time someone spends with a person the closer they become. And this bond will be even stronger between a master and a student. And those two... Tsunade and Daichi's bonds run quite deep. I have no doubt that he'll leave the village to find her. That's when Guren will strike."

The member of the Kaguya clan nodded but then frowned. There was something on his mind but he decided to keep quiet. But Orochimaru noticed Kimimaro's hesitation. "What is it Kimimaro? What do you want to ask me?"

"My Lord, wouldn't it be better to wait before going after the boy? The Leaf village will definitely have their guard up after they hear about your attack. So wouldn't it be better to wait till they relax their vigilance? Right now if Guren is caught it will expose critical information on us. Once the experiment with Tsunade is successful you'll be able to create an army that can use powerful wood style ninjutsu. If you wait, you'll be able to take revenge on the Leaf village and capture Daichi in one fell swoop."

Orochimaru chuckled after he heard that question. "Under normal circumstances that would be a better plan. But not in this case. I've gathered a great deal of intelligence on Daichi Hekima and I've noticed an important detail. His growth rate is unprecedented. Right now I'm certain he's reached at least a low Jonin level in skill and power. If I wait any longer, capturing him would be even more difficult. Once news of Tsunade's death reaches the boy he'll want revenge. He'll train even harder and become much stronger. With each passing day capturing him will become more difficult. So right now is the perfect time. While he tries to find his teacher Guren will strike."

"So that's why you asked me to assemble such a large team." The young bone user nodded in understanding.

"Yes. Even Kakashi won't be able to protect the boy with such a team. And Guren will capture the boy and bring him to that location." Orochimaru replied with a grin. His dreams are so close. He could feel it.

"Once I have Daichi, we'll go after Sasuke. He'll be the last piece. Tsunade, Daichi and Sasuke. My ambition can be realized with the capture of those three."

"We won't fail you my Lord." Kimimaro spoke as he bowed to Orochimaru.

Flashback End.

Kimimaro felt the wind blowing in his face and turned to the direction of the Fire country. 'Guren. This is the most important mission you'll complete for Lord Orochimaru in your entire life. If you fail, I'll kill you myself.'

Land of Fire.

In a forest a few kilometers outside the capital several people were waiting for Daichi and his team.
