Chapter 80: Origin of a Teacher Student Bond
Daichi was walking through the somewhat quiet streets of the leaf village. Even though a week had passed the villagers were still reeling from the Uchiha incident.
Daichi slightly shook his head as if to get rid of the memories of that incident. His mind then went to the messages he got last night.
'Not only did I get a new skill, with all the experience points I was able to level up to 38 There are four more years before my class graduates. If I decide to graduate with them, then I'll have plenty of time to master all the 5 chakra nature elements But should I wait that long?'
Daichi let out a short sigh. 'I'll decide when the time comes.' Before long he reached the academy grounds.
It didn't take long for him to reach his classroom. As Daichi entered the room he saw some kids whispering and pointing towards Sasuke. He could somewhat hear their discussion.
As Daichi looked at Sasuke he thought about the question Kensei had asked him that morning.
Flashback.
"Are you going to tell Sasuke Uchiha about the girl?" Kensei asked the question as Daichi was about to leave for the academy.
Daichi halted as he heard the question. He had been thinking about it for a while and made a choice.
"No! Right now the only thing keeping Reo safe is her anonymity. If I tell Sasuke, there is a chance he'll go and see her and that would put her at risk. I'm not gonna do that." Daichi replied.
Kensei nodded after hearing him. "It's your choice."
Flashback End.
Daichi looked at the brooding Uchiha sitting in the middle row looking out the window.
'It's also because I don't trust Sasuke. If things follow as it did in the story then Sasuke will turn against the village. When that happens His character is unpredictable. He might try to take her away from the village or try to kill her He's not someone I can put my trust in. I wouldn't be able to turn him away from the path of vengeance. And he needs Orochimaru's training to prepare for the future enemies Or does he?'
Daichi gave up on that line of thought. 'Problems for later.'
He took his seat in the back and leaned back in his chair. It wasn't long before Shikamaru, Kiba, Naruto and the others arrived.
"You heard about what happened didn't you?" Shikamaru asked Daichi as he sat next to him.
"Yeah And even after a week the villagers are a bit tense." Daichi replied in a low voice.
"It's not surprising! Something like that has never happened before My mom didn't even let me go out of the house for the first few days after it happened" Shikamaru didn't say anything more and laid his head on the desk to take a nap.
Daichi noticed that Naruto was unexpectedly subdued. He quietly went to his seat and leaned back in his chair and just whistled.
'Perhaps he read the situation and felt that it was not the best time for antics Or maybe he's just tired and I'm reading too much into this?'
Iruka sensei came and classes started.
A few days passed and things somewhat returned to normal. Sasuke competed with Daichi at the academy and Naruto resumed his pranks on Iruka. Daichi was focused on improving some of his current skills and leveling them up to 100. He decided he would start on the Nature transformation chakra in a week.
It was at this time another incident took place.
It was Friday morning and Daichi was on his way to the academy. As he reached the academy he saw Shikamaru and Choji running towards him. Both of them quickly reached Daichi and were slightly out of breath.
Daichi was surprised. "What's got you two excited?" He asked the two. He then noticed the serious expression on Shikamaru's face. "What's wrong?"
"It's Naruto. He went into the back hills." Shikamaru said.
Daichi was confused. "What? Why? Classes are about to start."
"It was Hibachi. He tricked Naruto into thinking you're there searching for some secret treasure and was looting the enemy ninja's corpses. But seeing as you're here, it looks like Hibachi played a bad prank on Naruto." Shikamaru answered.
"What?" Daichi's eyes narrowed as he listened.
"Yeah. We overheard them talking and saw Naruto taking off. We were on our way to the academy to tell Iruka sensei." Choji replied.
Daichi was momentarily confused but then memories of a certain episode came to his mind.
'Fuck!'
Daichi's face immediately darkened. "Both of you listen. You need to get to the academy quickly and tell Iruka sensei what happened. I'm going after him."
"Wait, what?"
Without waiting to explain, Daichi bolted from there. He had explored most of the village areas several times over the last few years. So he knew how to get to the back hills.
As Daichi was running through the streets his mind went through certain memories.
'This incident must be the filler episode incident. The one with Iruka and those Taki ninjas. I thought since I changed some things in Naruto's life, that it wouldn't happen. Looks like I was wrong Is this the universe correcting itself? And this also confirms that fillers are real And that Hibachi. How dare he use my name I'll deal with him when I get back!'
Daichi increased his speed and quickly reached the hills. He stood for a moment and concentrated. He used the chakra sense skill. After a couple of seconds
'Found him!'
Daichi opened his eyes as he sensed the massive chakra of his friend. He quickly jumped and took to the trees. Within minutes he saw Naruto and jumped down near him, startling the kid.
"Ahh! What the Daichi?" Naruto fell on his butt, startled by Daichi's sudden landing. He quickly regained his composure and jumped up.
"Aha! I found you!"
Daichi sighed, hearing him. "Idiot! I'm the one who found you."
"Hey! You find the secret treasure yet?" Naruto excitedly asked.
"There is no secret treasure and I wasn't even here. Hibachi tricked you."
"He did what?" Naruto lowered his head then clenched his fist. "That bastard I can't believe he did that"
"Yeah Now come on. We better get back to the academy."
Naruto then looked at Daichi with a serious expression. "Hey. You think it's true?"
"What are you talking about?"
"That there might be treasure hidden here? I heard that some enemy ninjas were fighting here in the forest a couple days ago. Wanna go find it?" Despite being tricked, Naruto had a smile on his face as he looked at Daichi and asked that question.
Daichi had been keeping an eye on his surroundings and hadn't sensed any enemy chakra yet. He was about to decline and bring Naruto back but stopped himself. He thought about the situation.
'The safest and most rational option is to bring this knucklehead back to the academy and let the ninjas handle the situation. But if the enemy ninja has stashed documents here like in the story then without anyone to intervene the Taki ninjas might find it and sensitive information could fall into enemy hands.'
'On the other hand if I decide to help him, then we can find the documents and quickly get out of here. If I remember correctly then it was 3 chunin level Taki ninjas who were here. Based on what I remember, I won't die or even get hurt by weak people like them. But since my existence has changed things here, is there anything else that has changed? Does the butterfly effect still exist? Do they have reinforcement? Or this time instead of chunin could it be Jonin?'
After thinking about it for a few more seconds Daichi made a choice. 'The best and wisest course of action is to get out of here.'
"Hey Anyone home! Earth to Daichi! You there?" Daichi saw an impatient Naruto with hands crossed, and foot tapping on the ground.
"I'm sorry Naruto but we better leave. Classes have already started. Not to mention the troubles we'd be in if there are enemy ninjas here."
Naruto had a downcast expression as he heard Daichi's answer.
At that moment a new quest appeared for Daichi.
'Damn it! Why system, why!?' Daichi mentally screamed as he looked at the quest.

Daichi looked at the quest details. 'I could refuse the quest but those exp. points Can't refuse that'
"Ughhh. " Daichi let out a long sigh. 'Fuck it!' Daichi accepted the quest.
"Fine let's search the place." Hearing Daichi answer, a wide smile spread on Naruto's face.
"Yes." He pumped his fists and screamed.
But at that moment someone else joined them. Iruka landed next to the two academy students.
"Thank God I found you two."
"Iruka sensei!? Why are you here?" Naruto frowned as he asked the question.
"Looking for the two of you. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is here right now! Naruto, it was foolish to come here for such a stupid reason. And Daichi, it was reckless following him here." The academy instructor admonished the kids.
Daichi looked sheepish and replied. "Sorry sensei."
Iruka let out a small breath. "Alright you two back with me!"
"No way!" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto, you need to come with me to class.!"
"You don't even like me. You only want me there because it's convenient for you." Naruto shouted.
Daichi noticed that Naruto's words had an impact on the chunin.
Iruka was taken aback by what the boy had said and looked down in sadness. He thought about everything that had happened with his parents on the night of the attack and his life since. He then remembered the reason why he became a teacher in the first place. A moment later he looked at Naruto with a softer face.
"Naruto, I'm still taking you back to the academy. You too Daichi! Follow me."
Naruto, hearing this, suddenly had a mischievous grin. Daichi seeing the look on Naruto's face knew he was up to no good.
"Alright, plan B!... Sexy jutsu!" Naruto yelled and quickly used the transformation jutsu.
Smoke covered his body in an instant and then he turned into a naked teenage girl version of himself wearing only bikinis.
"Gha!... You little brat" A stunned Iruka fell down with a giant nosebleed.
"Ha! Grownups are so easy to fool.!" Naruto was laughing as he looked at his teacher.
Daichi looked at the whole scene with utter bewilderment. 'Huh! He really fell down because of the nosebleed. I thought it was just some comic relief Some things just don't make sense. Or maybe they're not meant to!'
Daichi shook his head and looked at the transformed Naruto. 'I don't get what the big deal is It's just a bikini body and I know it's Naruto. Feels kinda gross just thinking about it.'
A shiver ran up Daichi's spine.
Naruto looked at the fallen chunin and then to his friend who was looking at him with a deadpan expression.
"You resisted my sexy jutsu. I didn't expect you to be so strong." The amazement in Naruto's voice was unmasked.
"Why do you sound so surprised? Don't think this dumbass jutsu will work on me!"
"Come on. Let's get out of here before he wakes up." Naruto said before running away from there.
Daichi looked at the fallen chunin teacher and sighed. He then followed Naruto deeper into the forest.
