  Daichi was in the backyard, in front of his vas painting. He was recreating the underground treasure cave of the Phantom Thief on his vas. Due to his absolute recall ability Daichi remembered every detail and was bringing the location to life.

  'This would make a killing in the au house. People aren't allowed to visit the hidden cave but that doesn't mean I 't draw it up and sell… Well, I would if I ever he money.'

  The boy's goal was to make a masterpiece painting and improve his dexterity and the Level of his skills. He has pleted several sculptures of his friends and various animals these st few days and has improved his sculpting skill.

  'I o create chakra puppets like the ones I took from Kenichi's home. But those items won't be of ordinary rank. And they would only be the start. I he Creation skill to be at a much higher level if I want to create the things I have in mind. One of the ways to aplish that is to level up my Painting and Sculpting skills. After that I'll examihe puppets more thhly.'

  Daichi focused on his painting and slowly pleted it. But it was not all he did. Several shadow es were meditating or using Ninjutsu and improving their level. He made sure to utilize his time to the fullest. He kept getting system messages of level up but Daichi learo ighem long ago.

  About an hour ter he was done.

  [You have created a masterpiece painting.]

  'Hmm… Not bad. Not bad at all…' Daichi thought to himself as he examined his test work.

  A feassed by with Daichi improving his skills and pleting D Rank missions. And soo another k mission.

  —-

  Hiruzen looked over the list of fn diplomats ing to the vilge to finalize the agreements made days earlier. 'I o keep a close eye on every persoering the vilge. But I also 't just focus on the ones ing into the vilge. I'll have to make sure the forces at the border aren't weakened.'

  "Sir, team Kakashi is here for their mission."

  The Hokage nodded. "Send them up."

  Soon the ninja duo was in the Kage's office.

  "Kakashi, I have a k mission for you today." Hiruzen said without wasting any time.

  "Does this have anything to do with the fn dignitaries and their guards?" Kakashi made an educated guess. He khe shinobi forces would be spread thin and the vilge would be on high alert.

  "Yes. Your mission is to observe the group from the Hidden Mist Vilge. They should be arriving at the gates soon. I'll have their schedule for you in a moment. There will be one diplomat and 2 guards. Your task is to keep an eye on all of them. Report if there are any unusual movements aain if absolutely necessary."

  Daichi khe mission was serious despite its low Rank.

  [Quest created - Observe the Diplomats.]

  [Accept Y/N]

  Daichi immediately accepted the mission while Kakashi got the schedule as on the Mist vilge personnel.

  The two ninjas left the tower and they could see that the vilge was full of activity. Ninjas were patrolling the streets and Daichi could see that they had their guards up.

  'I didn't expect su aftermath when pleting that mission.' Daichi thought as he looked around.

  "e o's move."

  The Genin didn't waste time and obeyed his sehey quickly made their way to the gates and at that moment saw two ninjas with the Mist headband. They were alert the moment they saw the copyinja.

  Kakashi and Daichi walked up to the group and the Jonin was about to introduce himself. "Wele to the Leaf vilge. I'm-"

  "Kakashi Hatake. We know who you are." A Mist ninja said, interrupting the silver haired Jonin. His eyes then briefly turo Daichi.

  Kakashi then turo the diplomat representing the vilge. "Please follow me. Your aodations have been arranged."

  The man nodded without saying a word and the three fners followed Kakashi and his student.

  Daichi was on full alert in the presence of these people. 'They're from the Mist vilge. If I'm right then Yagura must still be in charge and the rebellion must only be in its infancy right now. I o be careful. One wrong move and I'll be on Obito's radar. If I'm not on it already…'

  Daichi looked at the two ninjas and immediately used 'Observe' ohe moment he came hem. 'The diplomat is only a little bit strohan a civilian. But the other two. Level 70 Shiroya and 78 Oboru. Based on their stats, I'm strohan them and they are profit in water and lightning style. I'll have to be careful. I also o make sure no water es or such escape my dete.'

  None of the people spoke and the ninjas moved in silence each other and everything around them. The group soon reached a rge building and Kakashi led the ninjas to their assigned rooms.

  Kakashi hahe diplomat a scroll. "It tains the itinerary aails the time of the meeting. We'll e to pick you up. Please do not leave the premises without one of us." Kakashi motioo himself and his student.

  The man nodded and the trio went inside. Kakashi and Daichi soo and got outside the building. "e on. I know where we get a good vantage point."

  Meanwhile

  Meanwhile with the Mist ninjas they were looking around the room. "There are no seals or traps of any kind. Well, nothing I find anyway." Oboru, the leader of the two guards said.

  "Hey captain, you wao look around the vilge? Who knows what I might find." Shiroya said with a smile. It soon formed into a grin. "I didn't think we'd run into that brat the mome foot here."

  "Don't cause any trouble here you two." The diplomat said.

  "e now Kuma. I was joking." The ugh and sadistic grin ing from Shiroya didn't vihe diplomat Kuma at all.

  Oboru, who was done iing the entire room, spoke. "The location of this room was within my expectations. The Leaf ninjas pced us here so they keep an eye on us at all times."

  "Obviously. It was only a few years ago that the Hyuga iook pce. They won't take any ces this time. And not with such a rge group." Kuma said as he sat on the bed.

  "What about the border patrols? Surely with so many fn ninjas the Hokage would have pulled some back to the vilge…" Shiroya specuted.

  'I wonder about that.' The diplomat Kuma was much smarter thawo guards. 'Hiruzen has decades of experience. He wouldn't make a stupid mistake like that. I doubt the defe the Leaf border have been weakened because of this.'

  Shiroya thought about the team assigo keep tabs on them and slightly frowned. "It's strahat the Hokage would task a Genin with spying on us. Either that was a critical mistake or…"

  "Or that Genin is indeed capable of spying on experienced Jonin and even capture us if need be. The Hokage isn't a fool… If he had assighat boy to keep an eye on us then he's much more than he seems…" Oboru finished.

  He closed his eyes and thought about how to proceed and after a minute made a decision.

  "The Mizukage has tasked us with iigating that child if possible… Based oel we have, he isn't from any . So I'm not certain he has some special trag skills but we 't be sure of that. I'll lure the Sharingan ninja away wheime es, you try and see if you escape the boy's sight and iigate." Oboru said.

  Kuma sighed as he recalled what the Mizukage said. "Don't fet. That is still a sedary task. Right now your mission is to protect me for the duration of this journey. Gathering intel on that child and the vilge is a sedary mission. And a non priority. Don't cause any otion."

  The two ninjas nodded and waited.

  —-

  "The building has one mai and one emerge. Aside from us there are also patrol ninjas roaming the area. And their room is in a er so we keep a close watch over them." Kakashi gave his student a brief overview of the building yout and the surrounding area.

  Daiodded. He also used Mana Scout skill to keep tabs on the guests.

  The meetiween the Hokage and all the fn diplomats was tomorrow and the team from the Mist vilge was one of the early oo arrive. Time went by and soon it was night.

  Kakashi and Daioticed a ninja they knew as Oboru leave the building through the mai.

  "Sensei, looks like that guy is looking to take a stroll…"

  Kakashi's one visible eye slightly narrowed. "I'll go keep him pany. You keep an eye ohers 't you Daichi?"

  The boy nodded. "Yeah I'll be fine."

  Kakashi disappeared and Daichi paid attention to the two remaining ihe room. 'They must know that we're watg them… So I doubt they would do anything foolish… Still, I shouldn't let my guard down.'

  Daichi used Chakra Sense and Mana Scout and made sure they wouldn't give him the slip. 'The Diplomat is asleep and the uy is just sitting in his bed.'

  Daichi kept a close eye on them a nothing wrong. That was until a few mier when he sehe minute fluctuations of Shiroya's Chakra. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the shadow of the man. 'What are you up to?'

  —-

  Ba the room Shiroya carefully made a few hand-seals and a small puddle of water began to form at his feet. The puddle of water then as if it had a life of its own moved forward and uhe doht out the room. All without leaving a trace.

  It climbed the wall uhe open window and escaped out the building. The water puddle soon reached into the alley and in the shadows soon began to take the form of an unassuming man.

  Shiroya in disguise looked around. 'So that brat's not all that great. Looks like I'll be fiime to snoop around and see if I 't take anything of value.'

  As the mist ninja in disguise was making his pn he suddenly felt a presence behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Daichi casually sitting on the baly of the nearby building.

  "Hi there… Mind telling me why you were sneaking out?" Daichi asked the ninja. His face was expressionless and the look in Daichi's eyes somehow unhe Mist ninja.

  'This brat found me? But I used the bare minimum of chakra needed. He'd have to be a sensor to track me. I know the captain said no fight but…'

  Shiroya couldn't help but sport a bloodthirsty grin on his face. "Why don't you make me."

  Daichi didn't look impressed and just kept staring at the man. A few moments of sileer he spoke. "Do you really think a water e is suffit to battle me?"

  The Mist ninja grinned. "This is a special water e jutsu. It's much strohan the normal one."

  Daichi looked at the fidehe man exuded and spoke. "You know the thing about water es? Ohey're destroyed, the user will know they're destroyed but nothing more than that. They won't know how or who."

  "And you think you take me down?" The ninja had a mog smile.

  "I do." It wasn't the Daichi in front of the ninja that spoke but oanding behind him.

  Before Shiroya could eve, over a dozen wind bullets tore through his body and reduced him to a puddle.

  The two Daichi's looked at the puddle and narrowed their eyes. 'There is still some chakra left ier.'

  A small fire ball jutsu from the Genin reduced the water to vapor. They looked around and noticed a patrolling Jonin looking at the se. The Jonin gave Daichi a small nod a. Their task dohe two Daichi's vanished in a puff of smoke the sed.
