The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

In a forested area in the Leaf village the space twisted in a vortex and the masked Obito appeared. He thought about the new unknown enemy and felt irritated.

'I've been keeping an eye on everyone who could become a thorn in my side or a threat to Project Tsuki no Mi and yet… How did I miss someone with his strength?'

As he was analyzing the mysterious foe, Zetsu appeared out of the ground near him. The black and white plant creature looked at the masked ninja and sensed that things may not have gone accordingly.

"What happened? Did you get Shisui's Sharingan?" Zetsu asked.

"No."

Black Zetsu didn't speak or show any emotion outwards, but inside he had contempt for Obito. 'You talked so big before you went into that base but now you're here empty handed. You trash. Taking one Sharingan from Danzo. Can't you even complete this task. Che. What a waste.'

"That's surprising. Is Danzo more clever than we thought? Or did the Hokage get to him before you did?" The white half questioned, unaware what his other half was thinking.

"Neither. It seems there is a new variable we need to be aware of. A man who goes by the name of Dragon." The masked ninja replied.

"Dragon? Kinda presumptuous calling himself after a mythical creature don't ya think?" The white Zetsu joked while the other half remained silent.

Hearing those words, Obito's Sharingan focused on Black Zetsu's yellow eyes. In the span of just a few seconds the masked 'Madara' relayed all the information and images to the spy of the Akatsuki Organization.

Black Zetsu digested the information and he also had no clue as to who this person was.

"Do you know him?" Obito asked.

"No. I've never seen him before. But he could become a problem." Zetsu replied as he mentally went over the fight between the masked man and the Root ninjas.

Obito leaned against a tree and crossed his arms. "He got there before me. He successfully took Shisui's eye from Danzo. Moreover he was able to sense me even when I kept myself hidden."

"He's not with the Hokage or a known ally of the Leaf. At least that's what I was able to gather from what you've shown me."

Obito agreed with Zetsu's assessment. "Yes. But I'm sure he's someone from this village. He knows Kensei Yasaji or knows his son. From the way he spoke to Danzo it looked like he knew the man well. His combat techniques had certain elements from Anbu black ops. I think he's someone from my generation or maybe Minato's age group. He was able to use multiple natures and his fighting style…"

Black Zetsu nodded. "Yes. Even though it was only just a shadow clone he was able to fight Danzo and kill multiple Root ninjas. That alone speaks to his strength. Not to mention, the strangest thing is the way he fought. Unless I'm mistaken he could predict what his enemies were about to do and react accordingly. The way he reacted to their attacks and moved. It was almost as if he had-"

"The Sharingan." There was a spark of anger in Obito's tone.

"Yes." Black Zetsu fell silent as he contemplated that scenario.

"Wait. Someone with the Sharingan. So is he an Uchiha?" The white half scratched his chin and pondered.

"I'm not sure."

Obito's reply didn't satisfy Black Zetsu. "Were you able to sense his chakra signature? Does it have any similarities to the Uchiha?"

The masked ninja shook his head. "He had some kind of technique that stopped me from probing into him. Whatever that technique was, it acted as a barrier. I couldn't ascertain anything other than what I've seen."

"Such skills. To even hide from you. Is it really possible he's an Uchiha?"

The silly white Zetsu asked and masked Uchiha became silent for several moments. He looked up at the night sky and after a few seconds spoke his assumptions. "It might be possible. He knew the power of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan. He also possesses knowledge of the secret forbidden jutsu Izanagi. Lastly, the way he talked to me. What he said to me at the end…"

You and I have a score to settle.

Obito looked at Black Zetsu. "He knew the truth about the Uchiha massacre and there is a good possibility that he knows I'm involved."

"Hmm… It seems the chance that he could be from the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more likely. He could be a survivor of the massacre or the third war… Or perhaps a battle hidden from everyone…?" Black Zetsu had several speculations in his mind.

"Is it possible that after his death he somehow activated Izanagi and lived?" The white half put forth a theory and both the others suddenly stilled.

"If that's the case then there is a possibility that you, Itachi and Sasuke aren't the only Uchiha roaming the world."

Behind his mask, Obito frowned upon hearing that. He needed intelligence on this new enemy. "Zetsu. I need you to gather data on this Dragon. He said he's a revolutionary. Perhaps he's like Nagato or that dead fool Yahiko. He might be creating an organization of his own if he hasn't already."

Black Zetsu nodded. "I'll see what I can find. What about you? Since you didn't get the Sharingan from Danzo, are you going to go after the other targets?" He asked Obito.

"Have you gathered any intelligence on them?" The masked ninja wanted to know what Zetsu learned from his spying.

"Naruto's apartment is surrounded by several Anbu and a few Jonin. A barrier is also placed by Jiraiya." The plant creature replied.

"What about Daichi Hekima?"

"Security is much less but his house has a small defense barrier. Also… Kakashi is nearby, keeping an eye on the surroundings. He has a few ninja dogs running about as well… Are you going after him ?"

Obito was about to reply when he heard the soft sound of wings flapping in the air.

CAW

He looked to the side and his gaze narrowed at a crow standing at the top of a tree. The most peculiar thing was that this crow was looking straight at him and it had a Sharingan in the left eye. It just kept looking at Obito and didn't move an inch from its position.

'Itachi.' Obito looked at the black featured avian creature and his fists clenched. He remembered the deal he made and Itachi's threat.

Black Zetsu looked at the crow and he immediately knew Itachi sent it as a warning. "It seems he anticipated you coming here. If you make a move against the village now, Itachi could become unpredictable."

Obito's fists clenched even tighter. The failure to get the Sharingan he wanted along with Itachi's threat. He hadn't been so angry in a while. A few seconds later he controlled himself and let out a deep breath.

"We're leaving Zetsu. Looks like for the moment, I'm going to have to abide by the agreement I made with him. The nine tails won't be much use without capturing the other beasts. As for Daichi. I'll leave him to Kakuzu and Hidan. He isn't that high of a priority to me anyway." The masked Obito spoke and the next instant disappeared in a swirl. Zetsu sank into the ground and disappeared leaving no trace behind.

The crow looked at the empty spot and then tilted its head to the side and looked in another direction. A few hundred meters away was a house surrounded by a small forest.

-Kensei Yasaji's Home.

Inside Kensei's home Daichi was going over everything he learned and all the things he took from the Root base. He glanced at the piled up notifications and decided to go over them after looking over the items he got from Danzo.

Just as he was about to take the items from his inventory he stopped.

He looked around and tried to sense for any intruders with his Mana and chakra sensing skills.

'I can't be too careful. If there is even the most remote possibility that Obito could come here then I'll have to take all the precautions needed.'

Daichi immediately created a shadow clone and it went into the backyard. It sat down under a tree and began meditating.

The real counterpart went to the basement and set up several concealment barriers. They weren't powerful but they would shield his presence from the outside world for a short period of time. Daichi gazed at the defense he put in place and was satisfied.

'If Obito shows up then he might mistake the clone for me. That way he won't catch me off-guard.'

As Daichi thought about all the precautions he takes at everything he does, he chuckled to himself. 'I think I'm becoming more and more like that guy. Overpowered cautious hero.'

The gamer ninja softly sighed and shook his head. He began taking all the newly acquired documents out of his inventory. 'After I sort everything out, I'll study the secret routes into the Land of Earth. The rest will come after.'

Placing the scrolls aside, Daichi then took the jutsu scrolls he looted from his enemy. He opened and studied each scroll and immediately got the skill without the need to use it.

'Hmm… This must be because of my high affinity towards ninjutsu and Hypercognition skill.'

He went over the details of some of the new skills he picked up.

'Not bad.'

As Daichi got through the scrolls he came across Hidden jutsu from the various clans of the village. 'Danzo really did want to know how all their techniques worked.'

The gamer ninja looked at the various scrolls spread out in front of him. 'There's fire style jutsu unique to the Uchiha clan, Aburame clan's Insect sphere technique, Inuzuka clan's battle style, The Hyuga clan's taijutsu style… There's even notes on how to perform the Eight Trigram Revolving heaven.'

Daichi kept going and quickly came across the hidden jutsus he most wanted. He looked at the scroll with the symbol of the Yamanaka clan and greed could be seen in his eyes.
