The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 157 - Battle with Kakashi 01

Kakashi was in front of the Memorial Stone staring at a single name. He had been standing there for over two hours as he revisited the memories of his Genin team. The man looked up and noticed the position of the sun and realized how long he had been standing there.

'It's time to leave. I've kept Daichi waiting long enough.'

The Jonin looked back at the name engraved on the stone. 'I'll see you tomorrow Obito.'

Kakashi turned around and made his way through the forest. His mind went back to the conversation the Third Hokage had with him sometime ago.

Flashback.

"Kakashi, when you get the time I want you to spar with Daichi. See his capabilities. But this time I want you to force him to fight seriously." The old Kage said.

The silver haired Jonin raised an eyebrow at that. "Is that really necessary?"

Hiruzen nodded. "Yes. Only after you have a thorough understanding of his strength and abilities would you be able to train him efficiently. You would also be able to identify his weak spots if he has any and with training can get rid of them."

"Yes. I'll handle it... But... Do you mind me asking... What's this about? You don't normally take such a keen interest in a Genin team." The Hokage taking an active interest in the training of a fresh Genin was a surprise to Kakashi.

"True. But your student isn't an ordinary Genin. He is someone who has extraordinary potential and was personally trained by a former Anbu Captain and a Sannin..."

"But that's not all is it?"

Hiruzen smoked his pipe and was silent for a few seconds. Letting out a smoky breath he replied. "No. I have received some disturbing news regarding Orochimaru and Danzo. Things will come to a collision between the three of us soon and the people I've tasked with the matter will be in the middle of it. Kensei is one of those people and what affects Kensei will also affect Daichi. I have no doubt that Orochimaru will come to know of the boy soon if he hasn't already and knowing him, he'll definitely try to make contact with the boy."

Kakashi's eyes widened at that. He was alarmed that someone like that would one day come for his student. "Wait! Orochimaru's coming for the kid? Lord Hokage, I can protect him from almost any other Jonin but someone like Orochimaru..."

"Don't be so alarmed Kakashi. This isn't something that will happen tomorrow or next week. And it's just a possibility. There is also the chance that Orochimaru will leave him alone but the probability of that is low. I'm not telling you this to frighten you but to warn you. Take the necessary precautions."

The old kage let out a breath and leaned back in his chair. "It's not just Orochimaru but Danzo also has his eye on Daichi but for the moment he won't make any moves. He's more concerned with the movements and on-goings of his organization 'Root'."

Kakashi nodded. "I see. I understand Lord Hokage. I'll test him after the first C Rank mission."

"Good. You need a clear picture of his strength and abilities if you're going to prepare efficient team strategies... Kakashi... As long as Daichi is within these walls he'll be under my protection. But outside... I'm trusting you to keep him safe."

Kakashi stood straight and nodded his head. He vowed he would keep that word no matter what.

Flashback End.

Kakashi had an idea as to what he had to do. Before long he reached the clearing of Training ground 3 and saw Daichi meditating. 'One day I'm gonna figure out the secret behind that...'
