Chapitre 191: Chapter 191 - C Rank: Search & Destroy... A book?
It was early morning in the Leaf village. The special two man Genin team was making their way to the Hokage tower. Kakashi had deemed his student ready for another C Rank mission. Before long they were in front of the Hokage.
Hiruzen smiled as he looked at the two ninjas. At that moment Daichi noticed something strange.
'Is it just me or does he seem like he's in a good mood... It's his smile… It's definitely different from the ones before. Hmm… Something must have gone his way…'
Daichi didn't remark on what he noticed and kept a straight face.
"So are you two ready for your next C Rank mission?"
"Yes sir." The young Genin replied with a small smile.
The Hokage handed the mission scroll and explained the situation to the team.
[Quest Created - Search and Destroy]
Daichi read the details of the quest and quickly accepted it. It looked like an ordinary quest with no hidden agenda.
"You will meet the client in the location marked on the scroll. Your task is to retrieve some valuables that were stolen from his house."
Daichi was surprised at the mission. 'Finding lost items? Feels like Deja vu.'
"But there is one condition." The Hokage continued. "Among the stolen valuables is a book containing information sensitive to the client. He wants the book destroyed. Your client Denjima will explain the details."
Both Kakashi and Daichi nodded and soon left the office.
Hiruzen sat back in his chair and thought about what the other Kage of the Hidden Leaf was up to right now. He recalled the conversation he had with Lord Second.
Flashback.
"There are several things that needs to be done. I will modify the barrier seal formula and strengthen it. We need to make sure something like the Ninetails attack never happens again." Tobirama said as he looked at a scroll.
"There is something else I've been meaning to ask… It's about your teleportation jutsu."
Tobirama looked up from his scroll and motioned Hiruzen to continue.
"There has only been one person who could learn that jutsu and use it like you could. And it was Minato."
"Is there no one else who could use it?"
"There are his personal guards. But all three have to be present to use it. And that Teleportation jutsu is far too valuable to be ignored. But the problem is, even with your notes, the jutsu is far too complicated to use." Hiruzen didn't say anything more as he knew his predecessor understood what he wanted.
"You want me to rework the jutsu formula and make it so that someone capable can learn it."
The old kage nodded. "You're the only one familiar with space time ninjutsu. Even my knowledge on the subject is spotty at best."
Tobirama pondered on it and agreed. 'He has a point. That jutsu is indeed too valuable to be left alone. But I also need to make sure its useless in enemy hands.'
"I can certainly modify the jutsu. But I'll have to create some contingencies just in case. And simplifying the jutsu means its power will also be reduced. There will be more restrictions…"
"I understand." Hiruzen nodded as he already has a list of Jonin candidates in mind who he believes can learn the jutsu.
Tobirama crossed his arms and spoke about the things he needed to do. "Studying the curse seal from that girl Anko will take time and creating a suitable removal method even more. I will put it at the bottom of the list. First and foremost, we need to strengthen the village. Creating countermeasures for the Reanimation Jutsu is the priority."
The second Hokage thought about the ordeal. 'If his student attacks the village, he will no doubt have several reanimations under him. And based on what Hiruzen said, Orochimaru will definitely improve the jutsu. He must be testing its limits even now. So the power and control aspect of the technique will certainly be greater than it is now. This is my first priority…'
"And then there is the counter to the Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami. That jutsu is quite powerful. But if Danzo only has one eye then we have a chance." Hiruzen continued. He knew there were quite a lot of things needed to be done and not a lot of time.
The second Hokage nodded. "I will begin working on the Reanimation. I need you to get me a few things."
"Yes sensei."
Flashback End.
Hiruzen sighed and got back to work while his teacher was busy unraveling the secrets of one of the most dangerous forbidden jutsu in the world.

Daichi and his teacher got ready for the mission and headed for the gates. Once they notified the guards of their departure they quickly moved through the forest.
"So where are we headed sensei?"
At Daichi's question Kakashi recalled the information given in the scroll. "Well, there's an Inn about 3 kilometers from here. Our client said he would wait for us there."
The young Genin nodded and the two ninjas quickly made their way to the location. The inn was a modest one that the commoners use.
Daichi and Kakashi stepped inside and went to the front desk.
"Excuse me. We're looking for Denjima…"
The woman at the desk looked at the ninja in front of her and nodded. "He's expecting you. Room 205."
The Jonin smiled and thanked the lady. The duo made their way to the room and saw a guard standing in front of the door.
"We're here to meet your client." Kakashi spoke and showed the mission scroll with the Leaf emblem. The guard nodded and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The door was opened and the two ninjas entered the room.
A man in his late sixties greeted the ninjas with a smile. He had a thin long neatly kept beard and mustache. He was wearing a black attire and coupled with his look made Daichi think he was a butler. "Please take a seat."
"My name is Kakashi Hatake and this is my student Daichi Hekima. We're assigned to your C Rank mission." The Jonin introduced himself and his student.
The man nodded and once everyone was settled he began going over the details of the mission.
"My name is Denjima. I represent master Ayama Jido."
The Jonin in the room didn't show any outward change in expression but he was surprised. 'Where have I heard that name before?'
"A few days ago there was a robbery at Master Ayama's residence. The safe in which he kept his valuables was broken into. Your task is to retrieve the valuables. But that is secondary. There was a book containing secret information about master Ayama's personal business. You are to bring me the book so that I can destroy it. If retrieval of the book is not possible for any reason make sure it's destroyed."
"Do they know the value of the book or what's inside it?" Kakashi asked.
"No. They don't. And you have to retrieve it before they figure it out."
"Do you know who broke into the house?" Daichi asked and Denjima nodded.
"Master Ayama is a small but successful businessman. But he has a rival, Butsuba. He is the one responsible for this robbery. The theft was an inside job and we found and dealt with the thief accordingly. Your task is to infiltrate Butsuba's home, retrieve the book and all the other items stolen. Here is a list of all the items kept in the safe." With that Denjima gave a piece of paper to Daichi.
Kakashi nodded as he thought about the whole thing. "So you caught the one who actually stole from you. I'll need to see him or her."
Denjima slightly frowned. "Why do you need to see him?"
"Well, he might have information that will be useful to us. I have some questions for him."
The man closed his eyes as he thought about the request/demand the Jonin set forth. 'Well, this isn't unexpected… No point in delaying it.'
"Very well. He's currently incapacitated in the other room. Come." Denjima replied and with that he led the two ninjas to the other room where the occupant was lying unconscious.
'So they anticipated that I would ask to see the thief for interrogation.' Kakashi thought as he looked at the sleeping man. "Daichi, why don't you wait outside. I'll be done shortly."
The Genin nodded and did as he was instructed. 'So sensei also wanted to make sure we have the right guy before breaking into someone's home. It's common sense… I wonder what type of interrogation techniques he'll use?'
No sound was heard from the room for several minutes and then the door opened and Kakashi came out with a calm smile. "Well, we have what we need. Time for us to get to work. We will return here once the mission is completed."
With that the Jonin and Genin from the Leaf village left the Inn to complete their mission. Denjima sighed and went to the upper floor of the building. He knocked on a room marked 318 and a man in ordinary clothing opened the door.
"Master Ayama. The two ninjas have left for the mission."
The man now identified as Ayama nodded. "Were there any problems?"
"No sir. Everything went as expected… But do you mind me asking, what if they decided to keep the book for themselves and try to learn the secrets of your business…"
Ayama shook his head. "It's not a concern. There is a rule that says ninjas shouldn't open confidential documents pertaining to their clients. They won't break that rule and even if they do, they won't be able to learn the secrets of the book unless they have the key…"
Denjima nodded and left. "I understand sir. I will wait for their arrival."
—-
"What kind of interrogation techniques did you use? I didn't hear any sounds and when you came out he didn't look physically hurt. So I'm guessing you went with some sort of psychological attack?" Daichi asked as he looked at his teacher.
"I could have. Or…"
The young Genin sighed. "Or you could have used your Sharingan to get the information."
"It was much easier since I didn't know anything about him."
Daichi nodded. "So was he right? Is this Butsuba guy really the one behind the theft?" He asked his teacher.
Kakashi nodded his head at Daichi's question. "Yes. And based on what I learned he's a small time merchant. He would only have ordinary guards for protection."
"Something I don't understand. Why would he want to destroy the book if he gets it?"
The Jonin shrugged since he didn't know the answer. "Perhaps he wants to make sure his business secrets and tactics don't reach into rival hands again… But whatever the case, our mission is to retrieve it and if not, destroy it."
"So how do we proceed sensei?"
"I have the location of his home. But we won't go break down the front door. We'll do this with stealth. We'll have to scout the location and see how many guards are present. Once we have all the information we'll strike a little after midnight."
The young gamer nodded to the plan and they made their way to their target's home. Soon the two ninjas reached a compound surrounded by walls and guards on all sides. Inside the compound stood a small mansion 3 stories tall.
Daichi used Chakra Sense and didn't find anyone with significant strength. 'All are normal guards. So that's why that Denjima guy applied for a C Rank. I thought there would be some ninjas considering the guy's wealth but it looks like that's not the case.'
Kakashi and Daichi were hidden in the trees surrounding the small mansion. Kakashi made a few hand signals and gave Daichi instructions.
Hold position. Observe guards. Moving to observe viable entry points.
Daichi nodded and Kakashi vanished without making a single leaf move. The young Gamer used Observe skill on every guard he saw to make sure there weren't any hidden surprises. Daichi mentally noted down their number, patrol paths, their behavior and more.
Time went by and the sun slowly set. 'So this is what Kakashi meant when he said we needed to have patience and D Rank was the best way to learn it… This is soo goddamn boring…'
Kakashi joined Daichi and the duo waited for the perfect time to strike. They saw the guards change shifts and Daichi could see that almost all of them were undisciplined or sleepy.
Soon the time came. Kakashi gave a single hand signal. Let's move. And the two ninjas quietly vanished from their spot.
