  Leaf Vilge: Kensei's Home.

  Daichi was meditating in his room when he felt his energy fluctuating. He instantly got the chakra and memories of his es and a big smile grew on his face.

  'This trip yielded far more results than I anticipated. So many jutsu, geic materials and information on the whole world. This will certainly help me in accelerating my pns.'

  Just then the quest pletion notification popped up.

  [Quest 'Raid Orochimaru's Lab' pleted.]

  'So even though there is a e posing as Kimimaro in the base the system deemed that I had pleted the quest huh. That's good.'

  .

  [Rewards]

  [10000 Exp for successful infiltration of the main base.

  +1500 Exp.]

  .

  [105000 Exp each for colleg items of great value.

  +15750 Exp.]

  'If it's 5000 exp for each item of Great value then the system deems that I have 21 such items in my possession. I pretty much guess what they are. The Geic samples of the Kages, Reanimation jutsu and maybe a couple other forbidden jutsu, the horn of 8 tails, Shin asu sample along with the Akatsuki ring.'

  Daichi looked inside his iory list and saw the ring on a bony palm inside a small jar. 'I'll have to study that thing when I get some time.'

  The gamer ninja tinued down the pleted quest rewards.

  [15000 Exp for each additional hideout infiltrated.

  +2250 Exp.]

  .

  [257000 Exp for items collected.

  +38550 Exp.]

  'So many things in his bs had traps and seals that I had prioritized the most important and valuable ones. Well it doesn't matter. This is a pretty good reward.'

  [Increase iation to people who know your deeds.]

  [Increased ces of pleting the quest 'Seek the Hidden Truth of the Neckce'.]

  [Increased ces of resg Tsunade Senju and Shizuo.]

  Immediately after the system granted him the rewards notifications started piling up. Daichi felt his strength increase as he looked at one particur blue box message.

  [You have leveled up.]

  [You have leveled up.]

  [You have leveled up.]

  'Three level ups in one quest. Been a long while since I got such a good reward.'

  Daichi kept looking through the numerous notifications stacked in the er of his vision.

  [5 Chakra]

  [6 Intelligence]

  [5 Wisdom]

  [6 Sense]

  [3 Luck]

  'The chakra, intelligend wisdom must be due to Kimimaro and solving the trap seals. I must have gotten Luck stat points when I found that third and 6th hidden b. Sense must be due to me finding and avoiding all the traps in that pce.'

  [Mini-Map Updated. Land of Rice Paddies added.]

  The map update came with all the areas that Daichi explored and some of its surroundings. All the hidden bs Daichi found were marked along with several new routes in and out of the nd that he didn't know previously.

  'These routes will certainly e in handy if I o go in there again.'

  The notifications were something Daichi was looking forward to.

  [You have found a Key Dungeorieving the key to the dungeoo this dungeon has been pced in the iory.] x2

  During the infiltration Daichi's es found two instant dungeons and immediately got the keys. Daichi took out the two keys from his iory and stared at them.

  One was a yellow key while the other was a red key.

  [The Serpent Catabs dungeon key]

  This key was yellow whidicated that it held oppos of 5 to 15 levels.

  [The Eg Chambers dungeon key]

  The Eg Chambers key was red in color. Daichi khe enemies waiting in that dungeon would at least be 15 levels higher than him at a minimum. Aremely difficult dungeon.

  'Two instant Dungeon keys.'

  Daichi sighed and closed his eyes. A few moments ter he opehem and stored the keys ba his iory. 'It will make me stronger but right now I'm not in the mood for this.'

  [Skill Stealth has leveled up.] x4

  [Skill Jutsu Creation has leveled up.] x3

  [Skill Sealing Art has leveled up.] x12

  'My sealing jutsu skill must have increased thanks to the jutsus I learned from Orochimaru's b.'

  [Skill Mind Drain has leveled up.]

  [Skill Mana Manipution has leveled up.] x3

  [Skill Mana Affinity has leveled up.] x2

  [Skill Mana Scout has leveled up.] x5

  [Skill Mana Cloak has leveled up.] x2

  Daichi smiled as he looked through the list of skill level ups. He finally came to the one blue system box he was looking for.

  [You have learned a new skill]

  [Reanimation Jutsu - Active(LV. 01): A forbidden and highly advaninjutsu that allows the user t the dead back to life, binding their souls to living bodies and creating reanimated corpses. This skill requires the user to have knowledge of the jutsu through reading a scrolls or through a teacher. These reanimated individuals retain all their abilities from when they were alive, including Kekkei Genkai and knowledge of jutsus.

  Mastery of this teique grants the user the ability to trol multiple reanimated beings simultaneously and also grants the user the ability to partially or pletely suppress the personalities of the reanimated, making them obedient tools of war. The teique's effectiveness and the strength of the summoned beings increase with the user's proficy. The reanimated souls only be released by the user of the jutsu or if they(souls) know the specific seal to release themselves.]

  .

  [Effects]

  Reanimated beings retain their sciousness and resist the user's trol if they possess a strong will.

  They are susceptible to sealing jutsus aain natural elements, depending on their inal weaknesses.

  .

  [he teique is sidered taboo and could lead to the user being ostracized or targeted by other shinobi. Mastery of this jutsu is dangerous and could have unforeseen sequences on the user's morality and perception by others. It is advised to be used with caution and wisdom.

  Daichi read every detail of the new skill with a serious gaze. When he reached the st part his eyes slightly narrowed. 'Unforeseen sequences on the user's morality? Advised to be used with Caution and wisdom huh.'

  Daichi thought bad recalled the words Madara had said during his fight with the five Kages.

  Tell the caster… Never use forbidden jutsu so carelessly.

  Daichi focused ba his new skill. 'I'll keep that in mind Madara.'

  Daichi closed the skill and soon fihrough all the notifications. He then opened his status page and looked at his growth.

  Daichi looked at the stats and was satisfied. He went from level 62 to 65 in one day and several stats and skills leveled up.

  'I should save my remaining stat points. If I have to fight Orochimaru I'll hem.'

  Satisfied with his growth, Daichi closed all the blue boxes a out a deep breath of air. "I should get some sleep."

  The Genin looked out the window in his room and his eyes held worry for his teachers. 'Please be safe sensei. Shizune. I'll e find you… I have to.'

  Daichi turned his head and got in his bed. Soon he was in a deep sleep.

  —-

  Unknown location.

  Somewhere in an underground cave several figures shrouded in dark rainbow light were seen standing on the fingers of a giant closed eyes statue. On the left thumb of the finger ain, the de facto leader, and on the right was Konan. Pain fixed his gaze oley assembly ue ninjas, his Rinnegan eyes refleg the grave nature of the situation at hand.

  The members of the Akatsuki were suddenly summoned without much warning.

  Hidan had an annoyed face as he looked around. "Don't tell me we're making this a regur thing. I was in the middle of having a good night's sleep. Dreaming about spreading the word and wisdom of Jashin throughout the world."

  Deidara scoffed at Hidan. "You talk as if we don't hate listening to you bther on about your crazy ass religion all the time."

  "Why you-"

  "Quiet." A simple but stern word from Pain made them close their mouths.

  Itachi, who was silent till then softly spoke "What happened? Why did you summon us at this time?"

  "There has been an update. Zetsu will be joining us soon with the details." It was Konan who replied.

  As if responding to his name, Zetsu appeared out of the ground.

  "Lord Pain…," begisu, a being of dual nature, split between white and bck halves, each speaking in turn. "I bring news from the Hidden Leaf." The white half spoke first.

  The Bck half tinued. "It seems Orochimaru's atta Tsunade was only the first. Now his people went after Tsunade's student a few ho."

  "Who did Orochimaru send for the job?" Pain asked.

  "His subordinate, Guren, a crystal style user. She attempted to capture Daichi Hekima a few ho. But the attempt failed and Guren is now in Leaf custody." Zetsu replied.

  "Was she alone wheacked the boy?" Pain asked.

  "No. She had a whole team and they ambushed the Leaf ninjas a few kilometers outside the Fire capital. Guren had nine subordinates under her. Most of them had Orochimaru's curse seal power." Zetsu replied.

  "Defective products of that snake no doubt." Sasori quipped in his gruff voice.

  "A team of 9 and they still failed? Is this Guren weak?" Konan was mildly surprised and asked the spy.

  "No. She is in the same league as Kakashi Hatake. A powerful Jonin. And Daichi only had Genma and Anko guarding him. Both of them are just ordinary special Jonins. But Guren still failed to capture the boy. That fact suggests that the boy is strohan rumors indicate." Zetsu replied.

  The room fell into a ptive silence as the members absorbed the implications of these developments. Kisame, wielding his infamous shark-skin Samehada, grinned menagly. "Orochimaru's always had a fir for the dramatic. What's he after this time?"

  "Unknown. But ohing is now clear," Pain began, his voice eg slightly off the stone walls. "Orochimaru's as are not just mere provocations. Abdug Tsunade has multiple purposes. It weakens the Leaf Vilge by removing a powerful Shinobi and potentially allows him access to her unparalleled mediinjutsu and access to her bloodline. What he wants Daichi for… It might be part of a rger pn."

  Konan, her ami flowers rustling softly, spoke, "If this keeps up the tensioweeions will undoubtedly escate. With the Leaf vilge already on high alert and the reat nations tense and watg, a battle could break out at any moment. This could destabilize our current operations."

  "Haha. Isn't that perfect? Lots of excellent sacrifices for Lord Jashin!" Hidan, ever eager for chaos, chuckled. "Maybe it's time we take advantage of the situation. A little chaos could be fun."

  Kakuzu, eyes narrowing as he siders the financial implications, murmurs, "Putting aside his religious nonsense, Hidan's right for once."

  "Hey!"

  Kakuzu ignored his partner's angry fad tinued. "flict is profitable. We could use this to our advantage. Make lots of money."

  "Itachi," After a few moments of silence, Pain turo the quiet Uchiha. His Sharingan eyes seemed to pierce through the shadows. "You have insight into the Leaf. How will they respond?"

  Itachi was calm and after a few moments of silence had a measured reply. "The Leaf will prioritize Tsunade's rescue, but they won't act rashly. Orochimaru is too dangerous, and they'll seek to avoid open flict. However, this i will tighten their defenses and possibly streheir resolve to deal all with their enemies."

  "We could orchestrate a diversion, something to draw their attention away from Orochimaru and towards us, but on our terms." Sasori spoke looking at the Rinnegan user.

  Pain was silent, taking in each member's input. "Our primary objective remains the colle of the tailed beasts. However, Orochimaru's as do present a unique opportunity but there are also risks. We should proceed with our pns discreetly. For the time being we use the current uo mask our movements… Zetsu, tinue monit the situation. If Orochimaru makes another move, we o be informed immediately."

  Paiuro Kakuzu and Hidan. "Where are you twht now?"

  "We've just ehe Land of Earth. We're keeping a low profile right now." Kakuzu replied.

  Pain nodded. "Since Orochimaru and Tsunade are somewhere in the Land of Earth, there is a possibility of Daichi going there if he learns of the news. That will be a good opportunity for you two to capture him."

  Kakuzu and Hidan, intrigued by the potential chaos stemming from Guren's failed attempt to capture Daichi, saw this situation as an opportunity for both profit and bloodshed.

  Kakuzu, ever the merary, was calg the bounty that might be pced on Daichi, sidering the young ninja's apparent value. "A genius medija and as an apprentice of Tsunade, he would fetch a high price." Kakuzu might ponder, "Not to mentiorategic advantage of capturing su asset."

  Hidan, driven by his zealotry and love for battle, was drawn to the potential for flict. "Going after this Daichi kid could start a delightful csh with those Leaf ninjas," Hidan would gleefully anticipate. "And any ce to spread chaos and shed blood in the name of Jashin is an opportunity worth taking."

  Suddenly Konan spoke. "You should be careful with how you approach this matter. This task requires careful pnning and discretion to avoid tipping the baoo far and drawing the full wrath of the Leaf and possibly reat vilges."

  Meanwhile as Kakuzu and Hidan animatedly discuss the possibility of going after Daichi, seeing in it both personal gain and the ce for chaos, Itachi listened quietly. His mind, rag with several thoughts.

  He erfectly aware of his dual roles as both an Akatsuki member and a covert protector of the Hidden Leaf. Itachi uood the o delicately navigate this precarious situation.

  'The prospect of Kakuzu and Hidan targeting Daiot only threatens the Leaf but also risks exposing my true allegiances if I overtly oppose their pn. Madara gave me his assurahat the Akatsuki won't attack the Leaf but Pain… He'll be trouble…'

  "It might be prudent to gather more information before we act," Itachi interjected smoothly. His voice was calm yet authoritative enough to and attention.

  "Daichi, being Tsunade's apprentice, will undoubtedly be heavily guarded. Especially after the attempt by Guren. Rushing into this without a full uanding of the Leaf's current defenses could result in unnecessary plications for us."

  Kisame, sensing the tension, added his own thoughts and supported Itachi's cautionary stance. "He's right. Those Leaf ninjas will be on high alert and Tsunade's abdu has only tighteheir security. We o sider the risks involved."

  "Since when are you oo back down from a challenge Kisame?" Hidan asked with a scoff.

  "Unlike you, I know when to make the smart choices." The ninja swordsmen replied with a grin.

  Hidan's hao his on. "What does that mean? Are you saying I'm dumb."

  Kisame merely chuckled. "You said it. Not me."

  "You fish-faced bastard."

  "Calm down, Hidan. Besides, you do tend to act recklessly most of the time."

  "Kakuzu, you're supposed to back me up."

  The other Akatsuki members ighe banter and focused on Pain and Itachi.

  Itachi looked at the Leader and tinued, leveraging his reputation for strategic fht to sway his colleagues. "Our primary focus remains the capture of the tailed beasts. Engaging the Leaf vilge directly at this moment could divert resources and attention from our main objective. It may be more strategic to wait. Allow them to exhaust their resources in their efforts against Orochimaru."

  Notig the room's shift towards caution, Itachi subtly steered the versation towards a loerm perspective. "If we monitor Daichi and gather intelligence, we may find a more opportune moment to act. This dey also provides us with the advantage of assessing his abilities and potential worth to our cause. Moreover, Orochimaru should also be our main focus."

  Itachi's suggestion to dey didn't erely from his o protect the Leaf but also from a strategic standpoint that beed the Akatsuki.

  In the room only one person saw through Itachi's hidden psu inwardly smiled as he g the Uchiha.

  'By proposing a pn that ostensibly serves the anization's is, he skillfully navigated the thin baween his dual loyalties. Not bad Itachi. Not bad at all. The only other person who would have seen through your pn was 'Madara'.'

  Despite his clusiosu kept silent. After all he was merely the spy of the anization.

  Kakuzu, who was ever the pragmatist, nodded slowly. After thinking it over he saw the wisdom in avoiding a potentially costly open frontation.

  Hidan though was disappoi the prospect of dey. But he acquiesces to the collective decision and was swayed by the promise of future flict.

  The Rinnegan wielder Pain had an overarg vision for the ninja world and he saw Orochimaru's as as ultimately self-serving and potentially disruptive to his own grand designs.

  "Yes, this situation with Orochimaru must be carefully monitored. He is uable and his ambitions do not align with ours. His interference could bee an unwele plication if not kept in check." Pain spoke in a grave tone.

  Pain turo the zombie duo. "Try and find Orochimaru and where he's taken Tsunade if possible. But don't draw any unwatention. Especially from the Hidden Stone shinobi. I'll task Zetsu oter as well."

  'I'm sure Madara will pay that snake a visit if he has their location.'

  "Yeah. We'll do what we ." Kakuzu and Hidan agreed.

  Pain nodded and soon all figures disappeared from the fiips of the statue.
