Discimer: I don't own Naruto or the Gamer. Please support the official release.

  It was evening when Daichi and his superior reached the vilge. Both ninjas were in front of the Hokage and fiheir debriefing of the mission.

  "Daichi, there were several instances where things could have gone beyond your trol but thankfully none of them happened and everything worked out well in the end. That's good. But be more careful ime a your Jonin in on your pns, yes?"

  "Yes. Lord Hokage." Daichi replied with a small bow.

  "Cheer up young Daichi. You pleted the mission successfully and the Minister is satisfied with the results. That's a win in my book." Hiruzen had a smile as he looked at the Genin. 'Sending him to Tsunade was a brilliant idea.'

  "You did good work Daichi. You pleted your first B Rank mission almost fwlessly. Not many Genin say that." The old kage praised the boy.

  "Thank you Lord Hokage." Daichi gave a small bow and replied.

  "Have you decided what you want to request from the Fire Daimyo?"

  Daichi was silent for a moment and then answered. "I have a few things in mind but I haven't made any decisions."

  Hiruzen nodded and then spoke in a serious tone. "Fair warning Daichi. La is not a simple man. Be very careful when you deal with him. And think very carefully before you make your decision." Hiruzen knew what kind of a man the Fire Daimyo was. He didn't want Daichi to fall into his palms.

  The Genin took the warning seriously and silently nodded. He was dismissed shortly after and headed straight home. Daichi quickly arrived at his house and saw Kensei sitting on the porch.

  "Hey Gramps. Getting bored?"

  "I suppose. It has been dull here without you to eain me." Kensei replied with a small ugh. "I thought your mission would take longer?"

  "No. It was just to heal someohe Minister's nephew."

  Kensei's eyes narrowed as he heard that. "You had tact with members of the Royal court?"

  Daiodded. He looked at the serious expression on Kensei's fad frowned.

  "Daichi, tell me everything about your mission?"

  "What's wrong, Gramps?"

  The old ninja sighed and spoke. "There is a power struggle going on in the capital. Just like ohat's going on in the shadows here in the vilge. You o be careful who you ally with."

  Daiodded and recapped the whole mission. After hearing everything Kensei sat bad just let out a deep breath of air. "Lord Taji is a reasonable man. And he has honor. Having him as an ally is certainly a good thing. But the problem is, you're now sidered as a threat to those looking t him down. You o be careful if you ever go to the capital. They won't attack you ht or anything but you should be vigint."

  The young Gamer ninja nodded his head. 'I o get stronger. It's time to begin the Academy Dungeon. I've been putting it off for too long.'

  —-

  The Hokage gave Daichi a few days off to rest and recuperate after the mission. 'The Academy dungeon is different from the ones I've pleted so far.' Daichi recalled the information about the special dungeon.

  [Location dungeon: Pyer will have to go to the dungeon specific locations to access them. These are long term dungeons with strong and pos. Ohe dungeon is activated it will remain active for 1 year before disappearing. Pyers enter a the dungeon anytime during the active period. Exiting the dungeon is impossible when in enemy sight. Pyers stay ihe dungeon for up to 24 hours(Duime), at a time. Oed, the dungeon will have a cooldown of 3 hours in real world time. Real world time and Duime is - 01:06 ratio. Whatever happens in the dungeon will not affect the real world.]

  'A 1:6 ratio huh. That means only 4 hours would pass in the real world if I spend the full day in the dungeon. And another 3 hours is needed for dungeon cool down. Depending on the number of enemies in there, I'll have to make multiple visits to the dungeon. And what happens when the duime is up and I'm in enemy sight? And it says it will remain active for 1 year before disappearing. Will the dungeohere even after I plete it? If so then that could e in handy.'

  The Genin had several thoughts running through his mind as he id in bed. He went to sleep and the day visited the academy during the lunch break. Daichi secretly created a shadow e and had him i with his friends while he went to an old unused room in the academy.

  'This room is only used for ste of old files. No one es here any more. This will be an excellent spot.'

  Daichi checked his surroundings with the Mana scout and made sure he was alone.

  [You have found the Academy dungeon. Would you like to activate this dungeon?]

  [Y/N]

  'So I ehe dungeon from anywhere within the dungeon location. Good to know.'

  Daichi clicked yes and immediately was transported to the dungeon. Uhe previous ones he wasn't transported to a tuo reach the entrance. Daichi appeared at the outskirts of a very rge pound. The dungeon had daytime with the sun slowly rising in the sky.

  Daichi quickly reized the rge building at the ter. 'This pce is a replica of the Academy with some small differences.'

  He looked at his map and noticed the barrier surrounding the dungeon. 'So I'll have to stay within the viity huh.'

  At that moment a new quest appeared and his duitles activated.

  [Quest Created - 'plete the Academy dungeon']

  .

  [Time limit: 1 year(Real World Time)]

  .

  [Rewards:]

  New Skills.

  itle.

  250000Ryo

  .

  [Failure:]

  Death.

  .

  [Accept] (Y/N)

  'Yes. I accept.'

  Immediately red dots began to appear on Daichi's Mini Map. A timer also appeared below the holographic map. It was ting down from 24 hours. The young Genin looked at the Academy and used Observe skill.

  [Academy Dungeon.]

  [This dungeon and its inhabitants are created based on the real world Ninja Academy. 1125 enemies reside in this dungeon. The ninjas ihis dungeon vary from strong to weak. This Dungeon has a 1 Year time limit.]

  'Let's do this.'

  Daichi created 8 shadow es. He instructed two es to stay at the outer area aate while he sent the rest to scout the enemies and area.

  'I shouldn't move on the assumption that this building is a replica of the Ninja Academy iside world. And there could be traps and hidden ninjas waiting to attack. I o be careful.'

  The shadow es used their stealth skill and moved towards the building. They used 'observe' skill on every ninja and saw that some had low level and weak stats while some were as strong as ins. The es made sure to stay hidden and gather intel on the enemy forces. Daichi wao use this duo increase his battle strategies and fighting skills.

  'Level 20 is the weakest I've seen till now. And then there was a in level ninja at Level 63 he entrance of the Academy.'

  After about an hour of re, the gamer ninja decided that it was time to attack. Daichi created a e and dispelled it, reying the message to the others and the battle began.

  —-

  Hokage Tower.

  Deep beh the Hokage tower Tobirama and Hiruzen were having a meeting.

  "Has that Jonin Kakashi learhe Jutsu yet?" The reanimated Hokage asked his former student.

  "Almost. Based on the report he seerday, he should have it ready in a couple weeks or so."

  Tobirama nodded. "The revised version of the Teleportation jutsu has certain limits. The most pressing one is rahen there is the chakra cost. For now that Jonin will experience a huge drain in his reserves every time he uses it but that problem will be gone once he bees more profit in it. But for the moment this will have to do. The information collected during his training will also help those that will learsu after him."

  "Indeed. I've also ged the barrier formu as per your instrus. The security around the vilge has been updated. How goes your researto the Reanimation jutsu Lord Sed?"

  "I'm almost done creating the sealing jutsu needed. Sihe body of the Reanimation will heal, we will have tet the soul. There are a few jutsu that are capable of that…"

  "But all of them demand the exge of the user's life."

  Tobirama turowards his successor. "Yes. And that's not something we afford at this time. You sacrifig your life won't do this vilge any ght now. I have a pn to stop the Reanimation jutsu without res to such drastic measures."

  Hiruzen was surprised that the man found a solution so quickly.

  Tobirama spoke. "I've been going over the Uzumaki records and Lady Mito's personal here is a way to free the soul from the body of a Reanimation. I've been developing a jutsu that separates the soul from the body. It's nearing pletion. But I will need a couple of test subjects to researd collect data."

  Hiruzen closed his eyes and sighed hearing that. 'For a sed he sounded like Orochimaru. But unlike my student, sensei knows the value of life.'

  "I'll make the arras." The old Kage had a small frown on his face as he thought about such a powerful jutsu. " this method be used on the living?" 'In the process of finding a solution, we don't want to create an even bigger problem.'

  Tobirama shook his head. "No. This jutsu will be useless against the living. It will only work on the dead because they are supposed to be dead. Using the Reanimation jutsu means t the souls to the living realm and forcefully binding it with a sacrifice. This forbidden nature is the very reason why the jutsu will only work on those that are in a reanimated state."

  "But a teique of suature would require some price to pay wouldn't it?"

  At Hiruzen's question Tobirama sighed. He looked at the old man and answered. "Yes. There is a certain dition to use this sealing jutsu. It will need Nature energy to power it. To fight against the forbidden nature of the Reanimation Jutsu, normal chakra isn't enough. We o use Nature Chakra."

  Hiruzen was shocked. "Nature energy? You mean using Sage jutsu chakra?"

  "Indeed. We will need someone who harness Nature chakra to power the seal."

  The old Kage was silent for a moment and then spoke. "I have a student. He learned how to use Natural Energy from Mount Myoboku."

  The sed Hokage raised an eyebrow at that. "Mount Myoboku? Are you referring to the Land of the Toads?"

  "Yes. He has signed a summoning tract with the Toad . And he has been trained in using Nature energy." Hiruzen replied.

  Tobirama nodded. "Summon him. We will o plete this seal as soon as possible."

  "Yes. It'll be done."

  A few seds ter Tobirama sighed, stopped his work and looked at Hiruzen. "Tsunade is still roaming outside these walls isn't she?"

  The old Kage closed his eyes and just nodded his head.

  The eyes of the Sed Hokage narrowed. Hiruzen looked at the man and immediately khe reanimated kage was not happy with his living member.

  "If you want, I will summon her."

  "No." Tobirama shook head at Hiruzen's suggestion. "I will o speak with her before I go. But not now. If we suddenly gather forces to the vilge it will look suspicious."

  The ruling kage nodded. "There is something else I've been meaning to ask. Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, used the Reaper Death seal to stop the ails and protect the vilge. His soul is still in the Shinigami's belly. I've been looking for a way to free him from that prison."

  The silver haired Kage nodded his head in uanding. He wasn't going to let a kage who protected the vilge suffer if he could help it. "I've already been thinking about it. I will free his soul wheime es."

  Hiruzen was gd and both of them worked on their projects in fortable silence. A short while ter Tobirama asked a question.

  "How is Danzo? Has he created any trouble tely?"

  Hiruzen could hear the frustration and anger hidden in his sensei's voice. He quickly replied. "No. Surprisingly he's been quiet. He hasn't made any moves."

  Tobirama narrowed his eyes and looked at his former student. "But…"

  The old kage sighed and spoke. "But my spy has informed me that Root is still active. They have been dug operations outside our borders. He doesn't know the details but he's keeping his ear to the ground. My spy has already piled a list of Danzo's agents."

  Tobirama stopped his work and crossed his arms. "How did he ge so much?.. The only reason I haven't goer him till now is because you told me he still has some sembnce of loyalty to the vilge. But the more I hear, the harder it bees to believe that. What happeo him?"

  Hiruzen looked down and was quiet for a few moments. He recalled the ihat scarred and ged his friend. "Danzo had a son. The child was capable in the shinobi arts. He became Genin at 9 and in at the age of 11. When he was 13 he and his team were esc an important t through the border of the Fire try. They were headed to a meeting posed of merts from the 5 great nations. During the mission he along with his teammates died to an enemy attack."

  Tobirama's face slightly softened but he was still fused. "It's unfortuhat something like that happened. But he knows that the life of a shinobi could end at any time. Why would this ge him so much?"

  "It was during this time we were establishing our informatiowork throughout the nations. Just shortly before the mission, Danzo received ihat enemy forces might be in the area. But si would have caused an iional i, he didn't send anyone else. And it cost us. It's one of his greatest regrets. After that he became more headstrong and took a without waiting for my permission. With his Root ag in the shadows, he was able to divert many threats ahe vilge safe. But somewhere along the way he began to put his own is above the vilge's. He wao take my position. And now… It's e to this."

  Tobirama closed his eyes and slightly shook his head. "Even going as far as colluding with a traitor and using my brother's DNA for experiments."

  Hiruzen looked at the man for a few seds and spoke. "Are you going to front him?"

  Tobirama opened his eyes and it had a hardened glint to them. "Wheime es. I'm going to give him a ce. If he decides to do the right thing, then we'll end this peacefully without the vilge knowing anything. If he doesn't, then we'll end things on my terms."

  "I uand sensei."

  Tobirama tinued on with his work and then decided to switch topics. "Are there any promising talents in the vilge? Any other Jonin who is as skilled as Kakashi Hatake?"

  "Well there are a few. But Kakashi is the best. There aren't many Jonin like him save a few."

  Tobirama cocked his head at his student. "You're holding baething."

  Hiruzen sighed knowing he couldn't hide anything from the sharp senses of the man in front of him. "Well, it's not a Jonin but a Genin. A Genius in the ninja arts. He possesses talent and potential that could possibly surpass even yours Lord Sed."

  The sed Hokage stopped what he was doing and looked at the old man. "Really? A child with such potential?"

  "Yes… He…" Hiruzen was hesitant for a moment but then decided to tell the man about Daichi. "He's training ihird step of the ge in chakra nature of water. And based on the reports, he's already learned how to harness water from the atmosphere just like you."

  Tobirama's eyes widened when he heard that piece of information. "Tell me everything about him."

  Author's Note.

  I didn't want this chapter to be just about Daichi's dungeon.

  And regarding Danzo's son. It's kinda hard to believe a man like that wouldn't want a son to leave his legacy behind. To pass on his teags. Now he might not be the kind of man who would fall in love but I believe he would have wanted a strong child.

  Now rest assured, Danzo's son is dead. And he isn't ing back. That plot thread will stay dead and buried.
