The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Chapter 304: Valuable Prisoners

Shibi Aburame looked at the enemies and there was an almost imperceptible frown on his face. "Something isn't right. My insects are detecting a large amount of chakra being produced in their body. How is that possible?"

The Hyuga of the group had activated his Byakugan and what he saw left him bewildered. Seeing his expression Asuma asked. "What is it, Kogamu? What do you see?"

"Their- Their bodies. It's forcibly extracting chakra from every cell and organ but it isn't just that. Their body functions have heightened. Blood flowing faster, Muscles are strengthening, heart beating faster… They're getting stronger out of nowhere. I've never seen anything like it."

Tsume Inuzuka sneered as she looked at the six people who were losing their sanity with each second. "It must be the effects of the curse seals. They might look like they're getting stronger but something isn't right. Their bodies are starting to give off a bad odor. I don't know what it means but it can't be anything good."

"Yeah. I smell it too." The ninja dog Kuromaru also spoke as it got ready to face the enemy with his partner.

Daichi's eyes narrowed as he heard Tsume. 'Rotten smell…?' His eyes slightly widened as he realized what was happening. "We need to subdue them right now. The sooner the better."

"What is it, Daichi?" Kakashi asked his student.

"The curse is making them stronger but it's destroying their bodies. If we don't subdue them and stop the seal quickly, they'll die and whatever information they have will die with them." Daichi quickly informed everyone. The Jonins nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield the man with his sanity remaining intact looked at the assembled Leaf ninjas and couldn't help but curse his luck. 'Damn it. Where the hell did these guys come from? If it was just that brat and those two Jonins I could have handled this no problem but now… Things have seriously gotten out of hand. Still, it won't help me if I waste time. The effects of the curse seals won't last long.'

Under Rinji's orders the six ninjas quickly attacked the new arrivals.

The man was furious as he looked at the situation. His eyes then shifted to the Genin of the group.

'I never imagined that Guren could lose. Especially to a brat. This isn't good. If I go back empty handed, Orochimaru will kill me. If I get caught by these people, I'll end up getting tortured and killed or best case scenario I'll end up in prison for the rest of my life.'

Rinji was a man who was loyal to Orochimaru but at this moment his instincts for self preservation won over that loyalty. He looked at the battle taking place in front of him and quickly made a decision. 'Its time to get the fuck out of here. I'm sure I can find someplace to disappear. Good thing I made a nest egg for just this occasion.'

As the focus of the Leaf ninjas were on the six enemies, Rinji turned around and was about to escape when he suddenly froze.

Daichi held an emotionless face as he looked at the man in front of him. "You're not going anywhere."

Without giving Rinji a chance to make a move, Daichi rushed in to attack. The powerful Genin quickly incapacitated and restrained him and turned his attention to the other six.

'Their vitals are all over the place. If this keeps up for much longer they'll die. I can't have that.'

"Shadow clone jutsu." The gamer ninja created 6 clones and immediately went to their targets. While the ninjas with the curse seals were fighting the new arrivals, Daichi sneaked up behind them.

"Restrain them. I just need a few seconds." Daichi shouted and the Jonins quickly attacked and held down their enemy.

The clones quickly took out a piece of paper and an ink brush and immediately began to formulate a seal. Within just a few seconds they completed the specific seal and stuck them on the backs of the cursed seal ninjas.

A second later the characters on the seal glowed red.

['Contract Disruption' seal is now active.] x6

In just a few seconds the curse seals on their bodies glowed and slowly began to shrink and disappear.

Due to the pain of having their bodies suddenly overtaxed the six ninjas quickly fell unconscious. But Daichi could see that their vitality was quickly disappearing. 'Not on my watch.'

The clones immediately placed their palms on Orochimaru's men and soon started using his healing chakra.

"I see two bodies a few hundred meters away from here. Are they also Orochimaru's people?" Kogamu Hyuga asked as he survived his surroundings with his special eyes.

"Yeah. Could you bring them here?" Genma nodded and spoke.

Kogamu nodded and he, along with Tsume, quickly went to where Guren and Gozu were tied up.

"What was that tag you just used?" Asuma came near the real Daichi and asked as he watched the small clones at work.

"A contract disruption seal. It will prevent anyone from remotely activating a seal on another's body or we can disrupt a seal that's already active." Daichi replied as he looked at the six unconscious people.

"Are they trying to stabilize their bodies?" Genma asked as he came near them.

"Yeah. I can't have them all dying on me." He then turned his attention to Genma and Anko quickly got to work healing them.

"How did you guys even find us?" Anko looked at Kakashi and his team and asked.

"We were following up on Lady Tsunade's whereabouts and when we came near this area we found signs of battle. Blood and several shards of crystals. It was at that moment we heard an explosion. Kogamu checked what was happening and we quickly rushed over." The silver haired Jonin replied in a moderate tone.

"We haven't found any patrol squads on this route. I'm guessing they were killed by them." Asuma took a cigarette and lit it.

"They have a crystal style user. Her bloodline crystalizes matter and reduces it to shards. You must have seen the aftermath of her work." Daichi gave his thoughts as he completely healed Genma and Anko.

Anko moved her arms and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. "I feel good as new. Damn. You really are a great medic."

"All thanks to Tsunade sensei and Shizune senpai." Daichi couldn't help but sigh as he thought about his two teachers

"We'll find them. We can't give up hope." Guy spoke with a big grin and everyone could see that he was trying to lighten the mood.

Daichi gave a small smile and nodded at the green spandex wearing Jonin.

Before long Tsume and Kogamu returned with a tied up Guren and Gozu.

At this moment Daichi sensed the chakra fluctuations from two of the unconscious enemies. The clones working on them couldn't help but frown as the time went by. Soon all six completed their work and dispelled themselves.

Asuma and some of the other Jonins were surprised that Daichi's 6 shadow clones had enough chakra to heal people.

Daichi looked at the Jonins and spoke. "Two of them passed away. Their bodies were not strong enough to begin with and the effect of the curse seals was too much."

Kakashi and the others nodded. "Still, you did a good job. We have seven valuable prisoners. We need to take them back to the village for interrogation."

The one eyed Jonin then turned his attention to the Hyuga, Aburame and Inuzuka on the team. "We still need to continue our side of the investigation. But you three will be much better suited for that. Guy, Asuma and I will escort Genma's team and the prisoners back to the village."

Tsume, Shibi and Kogamu nodded and quickly left.

Kakashi sealed the bodies of the deceased enemies and soon the five Jonin and one Genin were traveling back to the Leaf village with additional cargo. At this moment Daichi was going over the quest notification that appeared.

[Quest 'Defeat and Capture' Completed.]

.

[Rewards]

[30000 Exp.]

[4500 Exp.]

[Increased chances of rescuing Tsunade Senju and Shizune Kato.]

[Reputation increases with ninja of the Leaf village.]

[Reputation becomes hostile with certain people.]

His eyes narrowed as he saw the rewards. 'Right now the experience reward is nothing compared to the increased chances of saving those. Still I wonder how that will happen.'

At approximately 5:30 pm Daichi, Kakashi and the other started making their way to the Leaf village

Somewhere in Land of Lightning.

In a pleasure inn in the Land of Lightning, a tall man with long spiky hair was sitting on a comfortable sofa. He was in a small private room with dim light and the soft melodies of traditional music could be heard. It created a relaxed ambience for the man. He had two scantily dressed women on either side of him and was enjoying himself.

"Hihihi. You ladies sure know what makes me smile." Jiraiya said with a big goofy grin.

He put a small bill into the clothes of one of the women. "Hey Nina. Could you get us a few glasses of your best sake dear? Nothing is better than spending time with two lovely ladies with some good sake."

"Of course Lord Jiraiya." The girl giggled and left the small room. As she disappeared from the room the white haired Sannin turned his attention to the other lady beside him.

"We only have a few minutes before she comes back." The Sannin spoke and the woman nodded.

"Talking about business so soon Lord Jiraiya?" The woman gave a small smile as she looked at the man.

"Don't worry Sara. We'll have plenty of time after. In fact I'm looking forward to having your friend join us." The white haired man had a silly perverted smile as he imagined the scene.

The woman just shook her head and internally sighed as she looked at the man's reaction. 'Same old pervert.'

She turned serious and then spoke. "I did some digging on that organization. They're keeping a low profile. But I've heard some whispers."

Jiraiya's smile dimmed and his eyes slightly narrowed as he listened. "And…"

"They've got some low level underlings working in the shadows. I don't know who. But I'm sure they have a bounty collection station under their control." The woman told him. She was one of the many informants Jiraiya has cultivated throughout the years.

"Bounty station?" The Sannin raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The woman nodded. "Yes. I heard that they've been attacking missing ninjas with large bounties on their heads."

Jiraiya thought about that information and quickly understood the objective. 'They're trying to increase their financial resources.'

"Can you give me any names or locations? Anything specific?"

"Sorry Lord Jiraiya. But they're extremely secretive. I heard that someone who was asking questions about them suddenly disappeared. I don't know what happened to him. So I didn't dig too deep."

Jiraiya nodded his head. 'Yeah. I'm not surprised. They would have their own information control methods.'

"But I did find out something important. The higher ups… They wear black cloaks with red clouds. I think that's their symbol or something."

The white haired man leaned back in his chair and nodded. "Black cloaks with red clouds pattern huh. That could be helpful." He looked at the woman and smiled. "Thanks a lot my dear."

He discreetly placed a small roll of bills inside the woman's dress. "Now what do you say we have some fun…"

At that moment the girl Nina returned with their drinks but she kept looking back. Jiraiya noticed the strange behavior and turned his head. He saw a small monkey with white fur coming towards them.

"How did a monkey get here?" Sara asked with slight confusion.

"I don't know. It just appeared and started following me after I got the drinks." Nina replied just as bewildered as her friend.

"He's a charming guy. Why don't you girls head on up to the room. I'll be in shortly after playing with this little guy." Jiraiya spoke with a grin as he looked at the small ape.

"Are you really ditching us for a monkey?" Sara asked with a smile and a raised brow.

"Of course not. How could I do that to two lovely ladies such as yourself. I just think this guy's interesting. That's all."

The two women giggled and quickly left. The second they disappeared the smile on Jiraiya's face vanished. "You really know how to pick the wrong time. What does sensei want now?" The Sannin asked with a tired groan.

"Orochimaru attacked Tsunade and Shizune. Right now their whereabouts are unknown." The monkey spoke with a serious tone.

The second Jiraiya heard the news his complexion changed. "What!?"
