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

Chapter 324 - Daichi's Calculations: Root Under Siege 02

Around Daichi, stood rows upon rows of shelves, each laden with scrolls and documents bound in nondescript covers. Daichi's eyes roamed all around and he inwardly snorted.

'All these scrolls have traps on them and if someone not authorized gets in here, all these will be reduced to ash... So that's why Danzo chose to keep records and not outright destroy them. The barrier seals placed for protection are impressive.'

The Gamer ninja walked closer and looked at the scroll and files stored on the shelves.

'Looking at the mundane appearance of these scrolls, very few might think they have explosive secrets that could shake entire nations.'

Daichi's eyes scanned the room, taking in the meticulous organization, each section marked with cryptic labels that only the most initiated could decipher.

'Most of these are encrypted. But thankfully that won't be too much of a headache for me.'

With no time to waste, Daichi disabled all the traps and approached the first section, labeled "Geo-political Routes." He was able to quickly decipher the coded intelligence.

In his hands were maps and documents detailing the hidden paths leading into and out of various nations—a network of routes used by spies and ANBU operatives for covert missions.

Daichi's fingers traced the lines connecting the Land of Fire to neighboring countries, noting the less guarded, more vulnerable passages that could serve as entry or escape routes in times of conflict.

The Genin's eyes widened and he quickly searched for the nearby scrolls and soon he opened a red colored scroll. It had notes on secret passageways into the Land of Earth and Hidden Stone Village.

'This... This will definitely come in handy.'

Moving quickly, he delved into the next section, "Underground Organizations." This was a compendium of detailed reports and dossiers on various clandestine groups across the shinobi world, including the infamous Akatsuki.

Profiles of some members, known affiliates, and speculated goals filled the pages. Daichi absorbed the information, the depth of ROOT's knowledge both impressive and chilling. 'Danzo doesn't know the identity of the current members except Itachi, Kisame, Sasori and Orochimaru. But he has several speculations. This might be more information than what even the Hokage has.'

Another shelf was devoted entirely to "ROOT Operations." Here, the scrolls were sealed with blood-red wax, each one detailing a different mission carried out by the shadowy operatives of ROOT. These missions ranged from assassination and sabotage to espionage and manipulation of political events within and outside Konoha. Daichi skimmed the documents, each revelation was evidence to the lengths Danzo and his organization would go to protect and control the ninja world.

'This guy... If I'm reading these right...then...'

Daichi was genuinely surprised as he decoded and read the information on the scrolls. He sighed and quickly stored the object in his inventory and moved on to the next.

Further along, the young ninja found the "International Ninja Database." The section contained detailed information about key ninjas from other villages: their strengths, weaknesses, known jutsu, and psychological profiles. It was a gold mine of intelligence, offering insights into potential allies and enemies alike.

Lastly, he reached a smaller, more secure vault within the archives labeled "Classified Operations" in encryption. With a careful application of chakra to bypass the advanced sealing jutsu, Daichi quickly accessed the contents.
