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

Chapter 178 - Treasure - Part 02

Near the Fire Capital. A short while later.

"So that's what the Hokage said huh."

Guruko nodded his head.

"Thank you for the assistance. Here." Kakashi gave his summon some treats and moments later the ninja dog vanished.

The Leaf Jonin met the other two and informed them of their journey back to the capital.

Daichi placed the teapot into a scroll and secured it.

Soon the trio was making their way back to the capital. Daichi only took Kenichi's heirloom with him and the rest were kept in the hidden room. Before long they reached the gates of the capital.

Kakashi turned to look at Hirohito. "I'm sure you're aware that what you have learned today must be kept secret, don't you? If there is any information leak before the matter is resolved by the Daimyo then it will bring trouble for you and your family. So for the moment just stay at this inn." The young lord nodded seriously. Kakashi gave the man an address and soon the two ninjas parted ways with the man.

Daichi and Kakashi made their way to their temporary residence.

"Daichi, we really should just hand over that teapot to our client and finish this mission." Kakashi advised his student.

"Please, not yet sensei. I want to examine this. I'm sure this holds some valuable secrets."

The silver haired ninja just sighed. "Daichi, we don't need to do that. Our goal was to find it and return it. We found it. Now we just need to return it."

Daichi was calm on the outside but he was getting slightly anxious. He needed to examine the heirloom and find out its secrets. "A day. Just give me a day. I did crack one of the biggest cases of the century. Kenichi waited about a year for this. I'm sure he won't mind waiting for one more day."

Kakashi was surprised at Daichi's request. "Why are you so adamant about this? What secrets do you imagine this heirloom holds "

"I don't know what, but I know it does. Don't you think it's strange? There were never any incidents reported that matched the Thief's style other than the 40 Thefts and the one at Kenichi's house. And in the 40 thefts he left his mark, the red crane on the scene but at Kenichi's house, nothing. And that robbery was almost a decade after he disappeared... So there must be something he wanted. Something important." Daichi tried to come up with a logical explanation for his desire to examine the heirloom.

"And you think whatever that is, is hidden on this teapot?"

The boy nodded his head. Kakashi looked at his student and sighed again. "Fine. We'll do it your way. But how exactly are you going to find out what you're looking for?"

Daichi just smirked at that question. "I have my methods. But first I need to get a few things." With that Daichi took a storage scroll and left the room.

Kakashi looked around and just left out a small tired breath. 'Guess there's nothing to do but wait.' He took out his favorite reading material and just got comfortable.

Daichi looked around in his room in Kensei's apartment in the capital. During his time as Lady Tsunade's apprentice she would often task him with identifying, examining and making notes on various materials. Organic and non organic.

'Where the heck is it? I know it's here somewhere...Aha! Found you.'

Daichi held a microscope in his hands and carefully placed it in the storage scroll. 'The technology in this world is really bizarre. There is advanced tech in the medical field but cars and cell phones don't exist yet?'
