he Fire Capital. A short while ter.
"So that's what the Hokage said huh."
Guruko nodded his head.
"Thank you for the assistance. Here." Kakashi gave his summon some treats and moments ter the ninja dog vanished.
The Leaf Jonihe other two and informed them of their journey back to the capital.
Daichi pced the teapot into a scroll and secured it.
Soorio was making their way back to the capital. Daichi only took Kenichi's heirloom with him and the rest were kept in the hidden room. Before long they reached the gates of the capital.
Kakashi turo look at Hirohito. "I'm sure you're aware that what you have learoday must be kept secret, don't you? If there is any information leak before the matter is resolved by the Daimyo then it will bring trouble for you and your family. So for the moment just stay at this inn." The young lord nodded seriously. Kakashi gave the man an address and soowo ninjas parted ways with the man.
Daichi and Kakashi made their way to their temporary residence.
"Daichi, we really should just hand over that teapot to our t and finish this mission." Kakashi advised his student.
"Please, not yet sensei. I want to examihis. I'm sure this holds some valuable secrets."
The silver haired ninja just sighed. "Daichi, we don't o do that. oal was to find it aurn it. We found it. Now we just o return it."
Daichi was calm oside but he was getting slightly anxious. He o examihe heirloom and find out its secrets. "A day. Just give me a day. I did crae of the biggest cases of the tury. Kenichi waited about a year for this. I'm sure he won't mind waiting for one more day."
Kakashi was surprised at Daichi's request. "Why are you so adamant about this? What secrets do you imagihis heirloom holds "
"I don't know what, but I know it does. Don't you think it's strahere were never any is reported that matched the Thief's style other than the 40 Thefts and the o Kenichi's house. And in the 40 thefts he left his mark, the red e on the se but at Kenichi's house, nothing. And that robbery was almost a decade after he disappeared… So there must be something he wanted. Something important." Daichi tried to e up with a logical expnation for his desire to examihe heirloom.
"And you think whatever that is, is hidden on this teapot?"
The boy nodded his head. Kakashi looked at his student and sighed again. "Fine. We'll do it your way. But how exactly are you going to find out what you're looking for?"
Daichi just smirked at that question. "I have my methods. But first I o get a few things." With that Daichi took a ste scroll ahe room.
Kakashi looked around and just left out a small tired breath. 'Guess there's nothing to do but wait.' He took out his favorite reading material and just got fortable.

Daichi looked around in his room in Kensei's apartment in the capital. During his time as Lady Tsunade's apprentice she would often task him with identifying, examining and making notes on various materials. anid nanic.
'Where the heck is it? I know it's here somewhere…Aha! Found you.'
Daichi held a microscope in his hands and carefully pced it ie scroll. 'The teology in this world is really bizarre. There is advae the medical field but cars and cell phones do yet?'
He also took several other objects that would help him with his examination. Once he had everything he wanted he sealed them in his scroll and headed back to Kakashi's pce.
Once Daichi returned he saw his sensei with his nose buried in his trashy book. The young Genin didn't mind and in fact weled the quiet atmosphere. Daichi set up his equipment and was finally ready to solve the mystery.
'Time to begin my experiments. The information on 'Observe' said that the guy went to an artist to help him hide his secret. So it must have something to do with paint… Or maybe ink. I o focus on fn material added to this i decade.'
Daichi pced both hands above the teapot and they started glowing green. 'A sing jutsu created with a standard teique from Lady Tsunade and bining the gamer powers. Perfect for all occasions. But still, I hought I'd use this to examieapot of all things.'
As he made notes on the minerals ieapot, a few stood out. 'Gold, silver, and several precious elements present. But the ohat was added ter hosphorous. And it's mixed with some other chemicals.'
Daichi took a bcklight from the ste scroll and shi oeapot. He sighed as he looked at the result. 'Nothing. I should have known it wouldn't be that easy. I thought for sure it was invisible ink. Alright, time to get some physical samples. But I have to make sure not to damage it...'
Daichi took a needle and scraped a minute sample from several sides. He took several samples and soon had them ready to be examined under a microscope.
Time slowly went by as Daichi examined different slides and he materials present oeapot. He made sure to take samples from even the inside and the bottom of the teapot.
Kakashi g his student from time to time but didn't say anything. 'Its quite something watg him work… I wonder what he'll dig up now?'
Hours went by and Daichi was finally done. He had made a list of all fn chemicals and minerals that was ter added to the object.
Daichi looked at the chemicals used and frowned. 'This bination of chemicals… Its definitely used in the creation of invisible ink. But when I used a bcklight earlier it didn't show anything?'
Daichi sat back down and thought it through. 'Its some kind of special invisible ink. I'm sure of that. So he wrote the information and hid it in pin view. But what kind of information? And how do I see it?... I o get some air.'
Daichi stood ao the baly outside the room. 'What am I missing?' He looked ahead at the disappearing sun and suddenly had an idea.
He quickly returo his room and opehe bcklight to look at its insides. 'Just as I thought.' Daichi made a few modifications to the device. He took out a pair e bck sungsses and put them over the ones he already had o out a breath and then shihe light over the bck teapot.
The result took Daichi's breath away.
At that moment Kakashi spoke up from his spot. "Daichi, you've been silent for a long time and not that I don't mind the quietness but should I be ed?"
Daichi quietly took off the rge sungsses and started chug.
"Hihihihi…. HAHAHAHAHA…." Daichi's soft chuckle turned into full blown ughter. "Sensei! Prepare to prostrate, be humbled and weep at the magnifiy intellect. Hahaha…."
Kakashi just looked on as his student ughed like a loon. 'Nope. I was wrong. It was better before.'
At that moment both of them were taken out of their thoughts by the kno the door. Daichi sensed a strong chakra presence behind the door and became serious.
'That must be the Hyuga Lord Hokage sent.' Kakashi opehe door and he was right. "e in."
Akai Hyuga stepped forward and looked at the two octs of the room. He noticed the delicate equipme up in the pbsp;'Were they doing some kind of experiment?'
"Hello. I'm Akai Hyuga. Special Jonin. I'm here to assist you with your mission." The man introduced himself.
"Kakashi Hatake and that's my student Daichi Hekima. We were just about to discuss some information my student had discovered."
Kakashi then turowards Daichi. "Well, Daichi… The floor is yours."
"Yes but before that, since a Hyuga is here…" Daichi took hold of the teapot. " you please use the Byakugan and see if there is anything hidden in this?"
Akai looked sideways at Kakashi and the Jonin just shrugged. The Hyuga made a seal and the veins around his eyes immediately bulged. The Hyuga looked at the Teapot and carefully examined every inch. After a few moments he let go of his visual jutsu.
"No. I 't find anything. There isn't anything hidden in it." Akai said.
But despite what the Jonin said Kakashi had his doubts. He knew Daichi was brilliant and had found something. So he paid close attention to his student.
Daichi smiled hearing that reply. "Just as I thought. With the trace amounts used even the Byakugan couldn't find it."
"What is it? What did you find?" Kakashi asked. The Jonin Akai was also curious. 'Something my eyes missed?'
"What do you know about the eleagic spectrum?" Daichi asked the two. Kakashi looked at Akai and the Hyuga just shrugged indig he didn't know what Daichi was talking about.
"It's some kind of wave right. That carries signals?" Kakashi said recalling the limited information he knew about the subject.
"It's much more than that. Eleagic spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes. Now there are seven types of radiation that make up the eleagic spectrum. Radio wave, Microwave, Infra-red, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-ray and Gamma rays. Among these, the visible light is the only one we humans detect without special abilities adgets."
The two Jonin nodded as they listeo Daichi's every word. Sihey udied such subjects this was new information for them and it sounded fasating. But Kakashi didn't uand what significe this information had to do with their situation. "What does this have to do with the Teapot?"
"Everything. The normal human eyes will only detect visible light. The light that's reflected off an object's surfaow we as humans are a crafty bunch. We came up with means to send messages that escape unwanted eyes." Daichi said with a smirk.
"You're talking about invisible ink aren't you?" Kakashi asked.
Daiodded.
"But Daichi, you used a bcklight earlier. I noticed. Nothing showed up."
Daichi agreed with his sensei. "Yes. It's true. If the person had used a normal invisible ink it would have appeared as soon as I had shohe bcklight above it. A standard bcklight emits Ultraviolet rays between 320nm(naers) and 400nm. A normal invisible ink will be cooked and bee visible if pced uhis spectrum of UV rays."
Kakashi stayed silent as he listeo his student.
"But what if it ecial ink that was used to write the secret message? An ink that would only be visible under a certain dition. Under a very specific wavelength of rays…"
The two Jonin were starting to get what the Genin was saying.
Daichi tinued. "The special fluorest phosphors ink was made by mixing very specific chemicals. To create this ink is no easy stuff. Now the materials used are inanipounds. So this ink is sunlight stable, heat stable and will st a long time. This ink will bee only visible under UV shortwave lengths."
"UV shortwaves? What's that?" Akai asked.
"The Ultraviolet rays are separated acc to their wavelength. Just as the visible lights are separated into seven colors the Ultraviolet rays are categorized into three. UV longwave 320nm to 400nm, UV medium wave 280nm to 320nm and UV shortwave 280nm to 100nm. Now almost all invisible inks appear when UV long waves fall on them. But this ink…"
"It would only show up if shortwave UV light is used…" Kakashi said.
Daiodded his head. "Almost all bcklights that are avaible use long wave UV rays. So you wouldn't have found it under normal methods."
" we see…" Kakashi was now more than curious about the message hidden in the heirloom.
Daiodded and took out two pairs of sungsses and hahem to the two older ninjas. "To protect your eyes." He put on his pair and turned on the modified bcklight over the teapot. He flipped the pot upside down and underh it were several instrus shining in bright e color.
"It's a cipher." Kakashi immediately reized it.
Daiodded his head. "Yeah. And without the key we won't be able to unlock it."
"So who has the key?" Akai asked.
The young Genin smiled. "Who else? Our t of course?"
Kakashi thought about that possibility and he couldn't rule it out. "What do you think these instrus are for?" He asked his student. He was looking to hear Daichi's theory.
"It's no ce that the Phantom thief would e and steal this item after so many years. There is only one reason he would do something like that. I believe these are instrus left by Kenichi's father that will lead to Phantom's hidden treasure." Daichi said.
The Jonin was surprised. "Do you meaems missing from that hidden room?"
"Yes."
"How you be certain of that?" Akai asked the kid.
Daichi was silent for a few moments before answering. "Its just an illogical gut feeling. But this is the story that makes sense." 'And it's also based on every heist movie, Sherlock stories aive novels I read in my previous life… This has to be it. Now the whole pieces ect.'
Daichi then looked up to his sensei. "So teach… What's our move?"
The silver haired ninja just closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A few seds ter he made a decision.
