The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Chapter 113: Meeting the Sannin

Chapter 113: Meeting the Sannin

Daichi sat there in his booth not sure what to do. He decided to listen to the on-goings behind him and then take action.

"Bhaa You worry too much, Shizune. That pervert will take care of the bill Where is he anyway?" Tsunade Senju said in a slightly slurred voice.

"Lord Jiraiya isn't here. He said he had to do some extremely important research and left a while ago. I'm sure it's something important and urgent." Shizune said, oblivious to the true nature of the man known as Jiraiya.

Tsunade snorted when she heard that. 'Important research my ass. That idiot is probably at one of the bathhouses.'

At this time Daichi's eyes widened as he heard the exchange between the two. 'Jiraiya is here too And based on the context he accompanied these two here. Or maybe it's the other way around. Regardless Two of the Sannins are together here Did this happen in the series? Or is this a butterfly effect from my interference?'

Daichi heard the waitress denying Tsunade service.

After thinking for a few more seconds he decided to step in. 'I don't know why she's here or what's going on but I need to make a solid impression. Forming a relationship with her would be beneficial in the long run.'

Daichi turned his head to the waitress behind him. "Excuse me miss" His voice attracted the attention of the three.

"How much does the lady owe the restaurant? I'll pay for her." Daichi said with a smile.

Tsunade looked at the boy who barged into their conversation. He had black eyes and shoulder length light brown hair and a broad chin. Tsunade looked him over and she estimated that the child was around 10 or 11 years old. She slightly narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything.

Shizune was surprised and was about to reject the boy's offer but the waitress of the restaurant beat her to it.

She was polite even to someone as young as Daichi. "Please sir. There's no need. The lady was just leaving."

As Daichi heard this he turned to look at Tsunade. Both the academy prodigy and the legendary Sannin looked at each other for a couple seconds. Neither said a word.

Daichi turned to the waitress and had a polite smile as he spoke. "I came here for some delicious food and to enjoy it in peace. But if this continues that's not going to happen." He then looked back at Tsunade and continued. "And she doesn't look like she has any intention of leaving here anytime soon." He turned back to the restaurant staff. "So I'm doing this for me. Not her So I'll ask again. How much does she owe?"

At that moment Shizune spoke. "It's sweet but there's no need. We're just leaving. Isn't that right Lady Tsunade?" Shizune thought the boy was the son of a wealthy official in the capital and if he pays and the news of this incident spreads, her master's reputation may take a nosedive. She wanted to avoid any potential problems for her master. But said master had other plans.

"Nope. He said he's going to pay. And he doesn't look like he has any problems. So calm down. Enjoy the food and drinks." Tsunade said in a nonchalant manner.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune was dismayed.

Daichi slightly laughed. He looked at the waitress. "You heard the lady. How much?"

Daichi could see the struggle of the staff and used Mana puppetry on her. And he got his answer.

"97,439 Ryo." The waitress replied with a smile.

Hearing the amount, Daichi put his hand in his pocket and took a thick stack of bills from his inventory. He gave the amount to the waitress with a cool smile on his face.

Shizune and the waitress were surprised at the stack of bills. The slug Sannin's apprentice began to look at the boy with caution. 'Why is a child carrying around that much money?...'

The restaurant staff quickly regained her composure and took the money.

Daichi had a charming smile on his face. "That's 100,000. And keep the change. Oh! And I'd like to place an order." He winked at the cute waitress. Due to the increase in charisma stat his ability to charm people especially women was increasing.

The waitress had a small pink shade of hue on her cheeks. Proof that she was falling for the boy's charms.

At that moment Daichi got up from his small booth and invited himself over to where Tsunade and Shizune sat.

"Since I'm paying for your booze it's only fair that I join you." Daichi sat down without any intention of taking no for an answer. He sat near Shizune and across from him was the best medic ninja currently alive.

"Listen kid, if you want to pay that's on you. But I didn't invite you over." Tsunade said, looking at the boy.

Daichi smiled. "No you didn't." He then turned to the waitress as if there was nothing wrong. "I'd like to place my order if that's alright." He said.

Tsunade and Shizune were surprised at the boldness the child displayed.

"O-of course." The waitress took out a small notepad and a pen.

"The roasted duck I had yesterday was delicious but I think I'll have something else today. I'm looking forward to the 'Waf Pan Fried Lamb Chops' and maybe something to go along with it. Surprise me. And your most expensive sake bottle for the lady."

Daichi politely gestured to Tsunade sitting in front of him. He then turned to Shizune sitting beside him. "What would you like to have Miss?"

Shizune was surprised. She didn't expect things to go this way. She was still a little apprehensive about the whole thing. "Um I'm fine."

"Are you sure? It's on me." Daichi kept his charming smile on his face.

But it wasn't able to change Shizune's mind. "I'm sure." She replied.

Daichi turned back to the waitress. "That will be all. Thank you."

The girl slightly bowed and left.

Daichi turned his attention back to the female Sannin. His smile never left his face.

Tsunade looked at the grinning child in front of her. He was watching her with rapt attention. Unknown to her Daichi was using his skill 'Observe' on her but it didn't have any success.

Tsunade decided to bring the boy down a peg.

"Don't you know it's not polite to stare."

Daichi replied without any nervousness. "It's hard when I'm in the company of beautiful women..."

"Aww Have you fallen for my charms? Sorry kid. But I'm not into little boys." Tsunade said, taking a swig that emptied the bottle she had.

Daichi kept smiling as he listened. 'Alright. You wanna play like that. Game on. Time to troll.'

Daichi smirked, hearing her. "Oh Thank God for that. You're beautiful. There's no question about that. But I'm not into old grannies either."

[Reputation slightly decreased with Tsunade Senju.]

Tsunade had a twitch above her eye. She looked at the smirking child and knew he was looking for a reaction.

Shizune was shocked at what the child said. She looked at her master and saw the signs of anger. 'Oh oh! Lady Tsunade is mad. I better calm things down.' At that moment she noticed the child turning his attention to her.

"Wow you're gorgeous. Do you know CPR?" Daichi had a charming smile as he looked at the girl next to him.

Shizune was surprised and gave a short answer. "Um Yes."

"Good. Because you just took my breath away" Daichi slowly took Shizune's right hand and gave it a small kiss. "It's a pleasure to be in the presence of such an elegant and beautiful lady."

[Reputation slightly increased with Shizune Kato.]

[Reputation slightly decreased with Tsunade Senju.]

"Oh my!" Shizune was shocked. A small pink shade was formed on her cheeks. People usually ignored her while her master was present. So this felt kind of nice to her.

Tsunade was gobsmacked at the audacity of the child who was blatantly flirting with her apprentice. "You brat. Don't you have any shame flirting with a woman almost thrice your age?"

Daichi looked at Tsunade for a few seconds before replying. "Nope."

"You're a naughty child aren't you?"

"When the occasion calls for it. Yes! But if it's any consolation" Daichi smirked and turned towards Shizune. "I'd be happy to let you spank me."

The poor apprentice's eyes widened. "W-what?"

Looking at her flustered reaction, Daichi burst out laughing. "Hahaha."

After a few seconds he calmed down. "I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. I was just teasing you."

Daichi, having had his fun, then looked at Tsunade and properly introduced himself.

This time he kept a polite face. "I was just having some fun Please bear it no mind. My name is Daichi Hekima. It is an honor to meet you Lady Tsunade and you too Miss Shizune."

[Reputation returned to neutral with Tsunade Senju.]

Tsunade looked at the change in the boy's manner and was surprised to see a serious and dignified expression.

"It's impressive you recognized me. Even more impressive, you recognized my assistant. A child born in the capital knowing my name and face is a coincidence. But I doubt that's the case when it comes to my apprentice."

Information about her is easily available but that wasn't the case for her student. Based on the observations Tsunade made, she concluded that the child was not from the capital.

Daichi nodded in agreement. "You're right. I'm not from the capital. I'm from the Leaf village. I came here for a business trip with my gramps I always try to learn more about the strongest ninjas of our time. Your name along with your former teammates came up in my study. During my research I found out that you have an apprentice. Shizune Kato" Daichi finished his explanation and looked at the apprentice.

Tsunade nodded and was somewhat satisfied with that answer.

"It's nice to meet you Daichi." Shizune spoke with a smile.

At that moment the dishes Daichi ordered came and Tsunade got her hands on some more alcohol. She didn't say anything else and started drinking again.

Daichi looked at the glazing lamb chops in front of him. The smell and the visual aesthetics captured Daichi's attention. But he didn't ignore the person sitting on his side.

"Would you like to join me, Miss Shizune?"

"No. Thank you. Maybe another time." She replied smiling.

"Ohh Is there going to be another time?" Daichi asked with a grin and winked at her.

Shizune giggled at the child's antics. "Maybe when you're older."

Daichi shrugged and slowly ate his food. He made small conversations with Shizune while Tsunade didn't look like she was interested.

Some time went by and Daichi's plate only had a few small bites left.

"So you've completed your 4th year in the academy huh. Unless I'm mistaken, the classes for the new year start in April right."

"Yeah. But I don't have to worry about that. I won't be going back for the next couple years."

"Why is that?" Shizune asked in slight confusion.

"It's. Nothing. I'm sorry, but I can't say." Daichi knew his medic training was to be kept a secret until the appropriate time. But now looking at the person in front of him, Daichi knew he would be disappointed with the person Kensei assigned to him. 'She's the best medic in the world. The things I could learn from her.'

Daichi let out a small sad sigh.

"What's wrong?" Shizune asked him.

Daichi thought about what he should say. 'If I can get Tsunade to be my teacher If there is any chance Shouldn't I take it?'

Daichi decided to tell them the real reason he was here. 'Even if I do tell, who are they gonna blab to.'

Daichi spoke. "The truth is I'm interested in learning medical jutsu."

Tsunade and Shizune's eyes slightly widened as they heard this. But they quickly schooled their faces.

Daichi, who was looking down at his food, failed to see their reaction. "I told my gramps about it a couple years ago and now he's managed to arrange someone to train me. He didn't tell me who, just that I would meet him or her tomorrow. So that's why I'm here. To get lessons in medical ninjutsu, but meeting you two here"

Daichi looked up from his food. "I know I'm going to be a bit disappointed tomorrow I'm certain they wouldn't be as good as you two."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes as she looked at Daichi. She glanced at Shizune and her apprentice knew what the look meant. Keep quiet.

Without giving any of her intentions away, Tsunade asked Daichi a question.

"Who is your grandfather?"

Daichi replied without much hesitation.

"Kensei Yasaji."
