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

Chapter 338 - Tenzo & Kakashi

Leaf Village - 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 sensed the approach of another ninja from a distance and quickly opened his eye. He was familiar with the chakra signature of the new arrival and was slightly surprised.

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

"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 done with my missions and returned a few days ago." The Anbu ninja replied as he took off his mask and pulled back his hoodie. His short brown hair and black 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 since last night? Any unexpected 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 seconds of silence, he whistled.

Moments later several ninja dogs appeared in front of him.

"Did anyone come near this 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 can go back now. I'll take it from here."

The ninja dogs barked and vanished in a puff of smoke and Daichi's teacher turned to 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 knew it had to do with more than Daichi.

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

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

"What happened to Danzo?" The silver haired Jonin asked.

"He's in custody and under heavy surveillance. The 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 action against Danzo? I knew he was tired of Danzo's reckless decisions but I never thought he would launch an attack, especially at this time.'

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

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

"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 village. Someone who knows Danzo well and most probably participated in the 3rd world war."
