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

Chapter 310 - Raiding Orochimaru's Lab - 01/02

Orochimaru's Base - Kimimaro P.O.V.

A pale skinned, green eyed teenager was slowly making his forward way along the dimly lit hall. His most distinctive features were the shoulder length white hair and the two scarlet dots present on his forehead.

Kimimaro was calm as he calmly made his way to his master's study. He didn't sense any intruder nor did he sense anything amiss. His reason for coming down to that room at this time... Just because.

Orochimaru's trusted bodyguard opened the door to the study and observed every inch. He stepped forward and soon stood in the middle of the room. He looked around and several seconds later let out an audible sigh.

'Of course there's no one here. It seems I'm too tense.'

Nodding to himself and after making sure nothing was out of place in the room, Kimimaro took a step forward only to feel something strike the back of his skull and a moment later he stumbled and fell to one knee.

Thud.

Another second later he was face down on the ground with a line of drool slowly running down the corner of his lips.

The last of the Kaguya couldn't even form a coherent thought inside his own mind let alone utter a word, make a sound or even mold chakra to protect himself. He only felt the strong vice grip on his head even as he lay on the hard floor.

The white haired ninja lost his sense of time and soon closed his eyes as he fell unconscious.

Above the downed Kimimaro the green cloaked man let go of his grip and stood. He made a seal and a shadow clone appeared. The clone transformed into an identical version of the Kaguya clan descendant and walked out of the room as if nothing happened.

Daichi P.O.V. A minute ago.

The disguised Daichi had his senses focused on Kimimaro's every step. The second Daichi sensed Kimimaro coming his way, he closed the hidden room and made sure everything was the way it was, before hiding himself in the darkness.

The gamer ninja was going through several scenarios of his encounter with one of Orochimaru's most loyal men.

'There is no way he should know I'm here right now. Unless opening that hidden room alerted him somehow but that possibility is very small. It must be a coincidence or just bad timing. Regardless... What should I do with him?'

The Leaf Genin's brain was working through multiple variations of his encounter with the teen. 'I could hide and he would never be able to find me. This is a stealth mission so I should avoid conflict at all costs and make sure not to get myself dispelled before completing my assignments.'

Daichi's keen senses picked up the low sounds of footsteps. Kimimaro was getting closer. 'But this guy is someone in that snake's inner circle. He would definitely know what really happened and where sensei is. If I can get the information from him then hopefully I'll be able to save those two before anything bad happens. And killing this guy would definitely reduce the strength of Orochimaru's force.'

The eyes behind the mask narrowed as Daichi pondered on that course of action. But suddenly another thought stopped Daichi. 'What if Orochimaru finds out that he's dead? He didn't have a way to know when the Sound four died in canon but I shouldn't take that chance. What if he placed some seal on them? If I kill Kimimaro here and now and Orochimaru finds out, then he could cut his losses and there is a possibility of sensei's death.'

The new problem brought a frown to the face behind the cloak. 'Killing him is out of the question. At least till sensei and Shizune senpai are safe. But letting him go is unacceptable. He would definitely have valuable intel... It seems I'll have to use that technique.'
