A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 134: Maito Dai



Chapter 134: Maito Dai

About half an hour after Tetsuya left, Sarutobi decided to taste the pie.

"So, now I'll try a little bit, and then, when I get home, I'll treat the Bivouac. Oh, she'll definitely be surprised."

Involuntarily, the lips of the Hokage that held the pipe in his mouth curved in an anticipatory smile when a juicy, onion-meat, "juice" came out of the pie in place of the cut.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

*Knock* *Knock*

Hmm. Hokage mumbled a little dissatisfied Come in.

Hello Hokage-sama! A man with thick black eyebrows, a mustache and a beard said cheerfully and loudly.

A dark green tight-fitting workout suit, a bright scarf around the neck, a big nose and dark hair cut "under the pot". It was these distinctive features that Shinobi had before Hiruzen.

Perhaps this is the third most recognizable person in Konoha after Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Tetsui.

The slightly dissatisfied face of the Hokage immediately "smoothed out", as soon as he saw a smiling visitor And this is you, Give.

That's right! the man straightened up caricaturally, without stopping smiling The task is completed! Miss Takamura is very pleased with the work done!

This is good, a poor woman at her age will not be able to cultivate such a land area in any way. Here's your reward. Hokage with a smile passed an envelope with a modest amount inside. - "What a pity Such tenacity and will, but no talent. Yes, Kami with this talent, if he had at least the opportunity to adequately use the chakra... Life is not a fair thing."

It may seem strange that the Hokage is quite familiar with some genin when there are hundreds of shinobi under his leadership, but Dai was quite different from the rest of the ninjas. So Sarutobi willy-nilly was well acquainted with this man.

Thank you! Dai said, accepting the envelope.

Not at all, the reward is more than deserved. You are very much loved by the villagers, Dai.

Don't embarrass me. Dai waved his hand, blushing slightly.

It's true. You've completed as many D-rank missions as Chunin and Jonin have ever dreamed of.

"Yeah~ah, but isn't it because I'm an 'Eternal Genie', ha ha ha? Dai said with a smile, chuckling at the end.

Hiruzen felt uncomfortable from these words in the compartment with this pure and immaculate smile. He is used to seeing false smiles and hearing senseless flattery, but such an immaculate smile can make him feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Not wanting to develop this topic, Sarutobi asked And how is your son, Dai?

Oh! He's fine, thanks for asking, Hokage-sama! Guy is growing up fast, but sometimes his calm nature scares me.

It looks like the baby took the appearance of his father, but his character is from his mother.

- yes! It's a pity that Kotone doesn't see this ... the man's smile faded as soon as he remembered his dead wife.

Hiruzen mentally slapped himself in the face "I'm not in shape today Since when do I speak first and then think? It's all the pie's fault!"

Folding his hands on his chin, Sarutobi apologetically said I'm sorry, I

Dai quickly interrupted Hokage, not allowing him to continue Do not apologize, Hokage-sama! It's not your fault that my wife had to choose between her life and the life of a child.

During childbirth, Dai's wife, Kotone, found herself in a very difficult situation. The doctors couldn't do anything, only one person could survive.

Mother or child. Difficult choice. So difficult that even someone like Dai froze in fear, unable to utter a word.

Wife or son. Questions tormented the man's mind, but when he was ready to accept the death of his son, Kotone said that she refused to sacrifice the child.

With difficulty, but agreeing, Dai decided to respect his wife's choice. So he became a single father, putting his wife's expectations and hopes on his shoulders.

Despite everything, Dai did not break down and did not lose heart. He had a little kid and he was going to give his all so that he would have a better future.

Many thought that Dai was trying to forget himself at work when, after the death of his wife, he began to frantically carry out missions, but the truth is that he began to slowly save money in order to ensure Guy's admission to the Shinobi Academy.

Hokage-sama, maybe there is a more paid mission for me?

Hmm. Sarutobi thought, puffing on his pipe There is one mission It will be paid as a B-rank mission, but the bottom line is that you just have to pass a few words to certain people in Konoha.

Yes!? I'll take it!

Wait, the mission may be dangerous

Nothing, Hokage-sama! I'm sure I can handle it! Moreover, you just need to convey the words! Easy as pie! Dai spoke energetically, rejoicing in a mission of this level. Still, this is the first time he will get something above C-rank. And the money for the mission promises to be not small.

- OK. In general, you need to go to the Senju residence and tell Mito-san and Tsunade that Tetsuya went alone to attack Iwagakure and he will be gone for a while.

"Tetsuyasama went alone against an entire village!? the man opened his mouth in surprise Incredible! This is the POWER OF YOUTH! Okay, I'm taking on the task! Dai nodded happily, "It's strange that such a simple mission has such a high rank and such a payment. he muttered, and then returned to a joyful mood Everything will be at its best, Hokage-sama!

Good luck. Hiruzen nodded, watching a man come out of the office.

Returning to the pie again, Sarutobi thought, "I hope baby Guy doesn't become an orphan."

Senju Residence

Maito Dai confidently approached the door of the residence and wanted to knock, but a calm female voice beat him to it Come in.

Surprised, Maito opened the door and, taking off his shoes, went to where the voice came from.

The door to the living room was open, so Dai immediately saw that two women and a twelve-year-old girl were sitting inside the room.

It's Mito-sama... so it's true that Tetsuya-sama was able to rejuvenate her... Unbelievable."

Oh! Dai-san, what brings you here? Tsunade, who was familiar with the guest, said with surprise. Maito Dai visited the hospital quite often, for various reasons, and the girl got to know him a little.

I have a task from Hokage. Dai replied with a smile, scratching his head.

- Yes? And what is it? Tsunade tilted her head.

Mito and Kushina continued to watch in silence and interest.

Well ... Dai hesitated, finally understanding the snag of the task. - "I need to tell the strongest women of Konoha that their, perhaps, the most expensive man in life went alone to attack the great Shinobi village."

Tsunade, noticing the embarrassment on the man's face, thought that he was embarrassed by Mito If you are embarrassed by your grandmother, then you shouldn't. She shrugged her shoulders and continued with a grin You may not tell from her, but she is quite kind.

Mito cast a calm and ambiguous glance at Tsunade, but remained silent.

All this did not give Maito Dai courage, but there was nowhere to go. Tetsuya-sama... went on a mission.

Yes? Hmm, he said that he might leave. Tsuna shook her head

- "Great! The mission can be considered completed!" Dai was delighted.

What is the rank of Misia? Mito suddenly spoke up, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hands.

- "Oh no!"

Before the man could exhale, he was thrown into a sweat again. Tetsuya-sama went on an S-rank mission.

- hm. This is a serious matter. S-rank But nothing can threaten him even on such a mission.

Maito was happy againOf course! Tetsuya-sama is the strongest Shinobi!

Before Dai could say "Well, I'll go", Kushina's gentle girlish voice sounded And what is this S-rank mission?

Dai mentally grabbed his head "Girl, do you want my death!?"

Kushina's question interested both Tsunade and Mito, so the women looked at the guest at the same time.

"Well... Tetsuyasama went alone to attack the great village, Iwagakure. Dai said quickly, thinking it was like peeling off a BandAid. The faster and sharper the better.

The faces of Mito, Tsunade and Kushina did not change in any way for three seconds. They did not change in expression, even when the huge pressure of the three women concentrated on the mustachioed man in a green leotard.

"Tetsuya-sama, you definitely owe me now!"

*****

At that moment, Tetsuya, who was running peacefully, suddenly hiccupped violently.

Oh! Someone remembers. he shook his head, grinning Have my girls already found out about my little mission?
