Chapter 213: A Second chance & Backup Request

Chapter 213: A Second chance & Backup Request

It was 1hr past midnight and the mission that was assigned to The two man Genin team was completed without any problems.

Kakashi and Daichi's shadow clones picked up the bandits and followed their creators. They made their way to the Daimyo mansion and handed the unconscious bandits to the guards. Once their task was completed the shadow clones dispelled themselves.

The Daimyo's men took the restrained men and locked them behind bars until their fate was decided.

"It looks like we were able to get this done much sooner than I thought." Daichi said as he looked at his teacher.

"True. So it seems we'll be back in the Leaf village by morning."

"Do you think the Daimyo will see us at this hour? It's the middle of the night after all." The Genin asked his teacher.

"He did tell us that we should see him as soon as the mission was done. So I don't see any problems." The Jonin just shrugged and waited for their client.

Daichi didn't ask anything more and looked at the unconscious ninja on the ground.

'Observe'

[LV.51] [Yamaha Toshigaki]

Age: 30

HP: 5358 CP: 4691

[Yamaha Toshigaki is a former ninja of the Village Hidden in Hot Water and a former citizen of the Land of Hot Water. He became a Genin at 11 and Chunin at the age of 16. He is a friendly man who used to love his village. During his last mission his teammate betrayed him and Yamaha took the blame for a crime he didn't commit. He was considered a traitor by most and became hated by the people of the village. The Village Leader and the Daimyo later made the decision to exile him from their land.

Daichi's eyes slightly softened as he read the description. 'Betrayed by a teammate and had to go on the run huh. Just bad luck. Based on my info, it seems this guy has morals... But why did the Village leader and Daimyo exile him instead of clearing his name?'

Daichi slightly shook his head and thought about the two academy students who were temporarily his teammates. 'This exact situation is what I want to avoid. A stab in the back by someone you trust when you least expect. If I had become teammates with them, then it wouldn't have been smooth sailing for me. Still, I wonder what they're doing now?'

As several thoughts were running through the Genin's mind the Tea Daimyo came to them with two guards by his side. The two Leaf ninja stood in attention and gave a small short bow of respect.

The Daimyo looked at the ninja on the floor and smiled as he turned his attention back to the two Leaf shinobis. "Well done. I didn't think you'd complete this mission so quickly. Were there any problems?"

"No sir. Everything went smoothly. This is the one behind the whole bandit troubles."

The Daimyo nodded. "Please wake him up. There are some things I need to ask him."

Daichi nodded and pressed a pressure point under the downed man's neck and in a few seconds the man's eyes suddenly opened wide and he came to consciousness. He coughed a few times and took several deep breaths of air. He felt the ninja wire restraining his body and looked around. Seeing that there was no chance of escape he stopped struggling and stopped his resistance. Daichi's hands were on his shoulders to subdue him, in case he decided to attack.

The Daimyo looked at the man with a stoic expression. After several seconds of silence he began the conversation. "It seems you know the position you're in. Good. Now. I'm going to ask you some questions and I would appreciate it if you could answer me honestly."

The tied up ninja looked at the Daimyo with a tired look and just nodded his head.

Seeing the man's compliance, the Tea Daimyo began questioning him. "What's your name?"

"Yamaha Toshigaki."

"Where are you from, Yamaha Toshigaki?"

"I'm from I was from the Land of Hot Water."

The tea Daimyo slightly narrowed his eyes. "Was from? Are you a missing ninja?"

"No. I'm just exiled from there." The man shook his head and replied.

"That's a surprise. When ninjas go rogue, they are declared a missing nin. But you're saying that is not the case I'm sure there's a story behind that. I'm curious to hear it."

Kakashi and Daichi were surprised at the turn of events. 'Considering the situation I know what I would do Still, I didn't see that coming.' Daichi thought as he looked at the man.

"Why are you showing mercy to me?" The bound shinobi asked the Daimyo in a small voice.

"Hmm I'm someone who believes in second chances. I don't think you're a terrible person. I think you're just someone looking to survive."

'I heard rumors that the Tea Daimyo is a kind man but I didn't think he would have given me another chance.' Yamaha thought about his choices and a few moments later he made his decision. "I accept My Lord." The tied ninja bowed to the Daimyo and then raised his head to look at the man.

Tea Daimyo nodded and looked at the two Leaf ninjas. "Release him."

Daichi looked at Kakashi and the Jonin just shrugged his shoulders. The Genin released the ninja wire and the man slowly stood up. There were a few tense seconds at first but then the man gave a deep bow to the Daimyo and the guards and the Tea Daimyo relaxed.

"Take him to the quarters. I'll be along shortly." The order was given and the guards escorted the man out of the room.

The Daimyo looked at the Leaf ninjas and smiled. "Thank you for your hard work. You two completed the assignment perfectly."

"Thank you."

"Now, here's your mission slip. Have a safe journey back to the village."

Daichi looked at the quest completion box while Kakashi secured the mission completion slip in his pocket.

'Just 8000 exp more and I'll get to level 55.'

"Alright Daichi, time to head home." The two ninja left the Tea Daimyo's house and were about to head back when Daichi sensed a fast incoming projectile.

'Behind.' The Genin swiftly tilted his head to the side and saw a small object pass by at great speed. It hit a nearby rock and went flying straight at Kakashi. The Jonin tracked its movements and easily caught the moving object.

"What the hell is that?" Daichi was confused and used chakra sense on his surroundings. He couldn't sense any enemies and then looked at his sensei.

Kakashi looked at the moving object in his hand and was surprised. Daichi's eyes widened as he laid eyes on it as well. 'Wait a minute. That's'

"This is Guy's ninja turtle. He only uses it for emergencies." The Jonin said as he looked at the turtle smaller than a palm. There was a glowing SOS on its shell.

"Turtle turtle Guy needs help."

Hearing that, Daichi sighed and gave his sensei the stink eye. "You just had to jinx us didn't you!?"

The next arc will be a long arc like the treasure hunt and Jedayu's revenge arcs but there will be no investigation or any such things. This arc is gonna be a straight up battle arc.

And one more thing. Don't think this coming arc is gonna be a filler one. This mission and the events taking place will be crucial to Daichi and his plans for the future. You'll understand once you read the whole arc. See ya...
