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

  Daichi quickly calmed down. 'Thank you Gamer's Mind.' He immediately bowed and respectfully greeted the Hokage.

  "It is an honor to meet you, Lord Third Hokage." He straightened and looked at the old kage.

  'Observe.'

  [??] [Hiruzen Sarutob (Hokage)

  ???

  Daichi wasn't surprised his ‘observe’ didn’t reveal anything. 'The third Hokage! Holds the title 'God of Shinobi', 'The professor', and more. A powerful kage even in his old age. o be careful with what I say.' All of these thoughts fshed by in an instant.

  Hiruzen chucked. "My… What a polite child." He had a gentle expression on his face. "Are you alright young one? Why were y?"

  Daichi was surprised to hear the question. "g?" He brought his hands to his cheeks. He could feel the remnants of tears on his fingers.

  'He didn't even realize it.' Hiruzen wao know what would make a young child feel such a stroion.

  "It's nothing lord Hokage. I was just thinking about some things." Daichi replied not wanting to give away anything. 'I o be cautious.'

  "That must have been some pretty deep thoughts." Hiruzen walked forward and stood o him. Both of them looked at the vilge.

  "What do you see?" He asked after a few seds of silenbsp;

  Although the question was simple, Daichi k was anything but. He was quiet for a few seds and gathered his thoughts. He could give the normal ahe one expected of a child his age.

  Suddenly an idea came to his mind. A crazy wild idea that if it worked would help him immensely.

  After a few seds of ption he made a choice. He was going to take a giant gamble. If it succeeded, it would help him through the years to e. If it didn't… he didn't even want to think about that. With steely resolve in his choice, he replied in four words.

  "Peace, harmony and sacrifice."

  'Definitely not an ordinary child.' "Tell me more. What do those words mean to you?" The aging leader was curious about the mentality of the child near him.

  Hearing the question Daichi slowly took a breath and after a mome out. He wao be absolutely sure and careful of the words he was going to say.

  "I read about some of the history of the time before the founding of the vilge. The warring era. A time when everyone fought each other with no mercy. Anyone who wasn't one of them was sidered an enemy and would be killed. Even children."

  Daichi paused for a moment and tinued. "But all of that ged when the Senju d the Uchiha put aside their differences and joiogether to form the vilge. A safe pce where their desdants could grow up without fear of death. A pce where people could call home and their children could grow up happily. The world followed their example and peace was achieved.”

  Taking a short pause, Daichi tinued.

  “Then when several s all over the nd, who wao experiehat peace joihe vilge, and ea w together with the singur goal of proteg the vilge, it brought harmony."

  The Hokage turo look at the child. His face gave away nothing as he listened.

  "And finally... Sacrifice...The ninjas giving their lives in battle to preserve the pead safety of the vilge. Like the first, sed and fourth kages did." Daichi turo look at the kage. "That is what I see when I look at the vilge".

  Hiruzen was expressionless as he listeo Daichi's words. He was scrutinizing the boy's chakra throughout the versation. He couldn't detect a single chakra fluctuation that indicated the child was lying. Otherwise he would’ve thought the boy was just saying these words to gain his favor to manipute him using his ideology.

  But when Daichi looked him in the eyes, he was sure of it. 'This child. He's not lying. And moreover he uands and embodies the philosophies of the first.'

  Rep massively increased with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

  Rep increased with Genma Shiranui.

  Rep increased with Raido Namiashi.

  Rep increased with Iwashi Tatami.

  Due to making a clever and calcuted decision, you have obtained +1 WIS

  Daichi didn’t even look at the notifications that appeared. He looked straight at the Hokage with a serene expression.

  When Hiruzen asked the question earlier he didn't expect a childish reply but he also didn't think he would get such a profound answer from the child. He was shocked. 'It feels like I'm looking at a young Itachi all ain.'

  "Hahahahaha……"

  For the first time in a long time Hiruze out a hearty ugh. Daichi was a bit fbbergasted as he looked at the ughing old man. "Umm… lord Hokage..?"

  He didn't get an answer. Hiruzen had a grin on his face as he stopped ughing. "What is your name?"

  "Daichi Hekima."

  "What do you want to be iure?"

  At this question Daichi grew a grin that matched the kage. "I'm gonna be a ninja."

  "Are you joining this year?" Hiruzen asked. "No. year." Was the reply.

  Both of them had a smile and turo look towards the vilge. Both of them standing in fortable silehinking about the versation.

  "The first hokage was someone who thought the same. It was his philosophy. Peace through cooperation. It was a lesson he passed down to me, to his d to the vilge.”

  Hiruzen didn’t say anything more. At that moment he made an important decisiarding the future of the vilge.

  ‘Itachi had a kind, i ale heart but this world took that from him before he could even reach puberty. I won't let that happen again.’

  As Daichi looked on he suddenly remembered the things he had to do and buy. And the simple quest he had to plete.

  “Lord hokage, I promised my grandfather I would get home soon. May I be excused?”

  Hiruzen smiled. “Yes. Get home safely Daichi.” He watched Daichi leave with a smile on his fabsp;

  “Genma.” He called out.

  A shinobi wearing the standard Jonin uniform appeared behind him. He was one of the hokage guards tasked with watg and proteg him all day.

  “What do you make of him?” The old man asked, wanting to know his shinobi’s impression of the boy.

  “He is… unusual. Based on his chakra, he’s definitely a civilian. But his trol over his emotions is better than the average adult who doesn’t have any training. But I couldn’t detey deception in his words. And he doesn't speak like a child his age. It's the way he spoke about the topie it felt as if I was listening to an adult.” Genma took a pause and then tinued.

  “And it seems he uand plex cepts that would baffle even some. There is a great possibility he could be a genius. But it would depend on his performan the academy to determihat.”

  Hiruzen o the assessment. “Find out everything you about the boy. I want that information within 24 hours.”

  “Yes sir.” With those wenma vanished.

  ‘If the geion is anything like him, thehe time es for me to depart this world I’ll be happy knowing that the vilge will be in good hands… Hmm… I’ll go see Naruto and take him out for some ramen.’

  With that the Hokage started making his way to Naruto’s home.

  Daichi got doweps and reached the base of the mountaiook a look back at the mountain faces, put on his sungsses and then turned around and walked. His destination was the Yamanaka flower store.

  His mind running a mile a minute. Going through every word and every instance of the versation he just had with the most powerful person currently in the vilge.

  Daichi only now dismissed the several notifications that were in front of him.

  'I 't believe it worked! I was able to gain his attention in a good way. Now when I join the academy I won't have to hold back much. I won't show everything but I'll defiake the top spot every year by a good margin. And if any unsavory characters like Danzo es after me, the Hokage would be more motivated than usual to shield me.’

  ‘After all, in his eyes I just became a promising talent that holds the values and ideals of him and his teachers. He mistook my mental maturity fenius talent. The same mistake Kensei made. One of the many perks of having a child body I suppose. People rarely take you as a threat.’

  Daichi was ing. Every move he made, every word he spoke, sihe instant he reised the kage was careful and calcuted. The WIS stat increase proved it to him. Daichi khe old kage had a ki and a soft spot for children so he used that information to his advantage.

  After that versation he will be more than curious. He'll definitely send someoo iigate me. Probably one of the guards following him. I wasn't expeg the Hokage's ptoon to be there but it's alright. They'll start with the orphanage and Aiko.’

  'But I don't think there will be a problem. Based on the memories I have of before my awakening, I was still smart. Maybe not genius level. But I definitely learhings at a much faster rate thaher children. And Aiko has a good opinion of me. And since I only got adopted yesterday I doubt they'd bother the old man.’

  ‘There is also a ce they'll trace my steps to the library. No… They definitely will do it. And they'll find the books I've read.'

  Daichi thought about the gamble he just took and the reasons for doing it.

  'If I didn't have the gamer's mind to keep my emotions in check, I don't think I could have pulled it off. And I wouldn't even have tried it. He's a sensor shinobi, from what I remember. And a good o that. So I needed a calm mind to make this work and I did tell him the truth.’

  ‘I just didn't tell him the whole truth. But nor did I lie to him.'

  He walked the road looking all around him. The people. Both ninjas and civilians. He saw the smiles on their faces as they chatted with their friends, families, neighbors, teammates. He looked at the team of Gennin that passed him by.

  'Every word I said was what I truly believed about the vilge. But the st part. Sacrifice. I know the ninjas of this vilge are willing to give their lives to protect this pce. Well… most of them anyway.’

  ‘But that's not the case for me. I'm not going to sacrifice my life for this vilge. But I couldn't tell him that. He just assumed it would be something I would definitely do based on my words.’

  ‘This is my sed ce. I want to be a little selfish. Is that s? I want to live a long life. Enjoy everything this world has to offer. There is a good ce that when I'm strong enough a with the ing threats, I'll leave this vilge and travel the world. But until that day es I’ll need as much prote as I get. What I did… it was necessary. But I hope this won't have aive sequences iure.'

  There was one more reason he made this move. But he wasn't sure if it would work.

  No lohinking about the matter, Daichi kept walking. He wao see his progress and see how far he'd e. He opened his Status and skill page.
