Daichi went to his room and freshened up. He ged into his sleepwear and got on the bed. He thought about the events of the day. He was still a bit fused on why Kehought he was a genius. As he pondered on this question for some more time, the answer came to him.

  'From my perspective, I'm someone who got pced into an unfamiliar territory and is trying to stay undercover. So when someone accuses me of hiding my iions, I would think that they would think I y or something equally dangerous. But from their perspective I’m just an orphan child who grew up in Leaf vilge all his life.’

  ‘They would attribute my suspicious behavior to paranoia or trust issues... Probably… I think. Still, this puts me at ease a bit. There are a lot of things I wanna do tomorrow but first lemme check out how much my stats have improved.’

  For the first time in a long time Daichi was truly happy and looking forward to a new day. He slowly closed his eyes ao sleep as he dreamed of what his future would be like.

  Daichi woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and the rays of the m sun shining through the window.

  You have slept in a bed. HP, d SP have been fully restored.

  Those words were the first thing that greeted him. He got up from his bed ao the window. He took in the beautiful sights in front of him. After standing there for a couple of minutes and enjoying the beauties of nature, Daichi went to the bathroom and freshened up. After putting on a new set of clothes he went down to greet Kensei.

  As he got down he saw the old maing a few dumplings and reading a book.

  "Good m gramps."

  "M kid. I had someone deliver those Rainbow dumplings a few minutes ago. So eat them while they're fresh and hot."

  Daiodded ao eat his breakfast. He fihe dumplings in a couple of minutes and the near his grandfather.

  "So what are your pns for today?" Kensei asked, his eyes still on the book.

  "I want to explore the vilge more. And maybe buy a few things." Daichi replied. "What about you?" He asked.

  "I'll be here reading my book. It's a fasating read. And there's 2000 Ryo's ihat box. It's yours. Spend it wisely." Kensei said, pointing to a nearby red box on a table.

  "I will. Thanks gramps. I'm gonna head out to the library first and then check out a few other pces. So I'll be a little te."

  "Make sure to get home before night falls." Kensei said, looking up from his book.

  Daichi accepted the quest without hesitation.

  "I'll be back by evening. By the way, do you wa you anything?"

  "No need. I've already bought everything we need for the week."

  Daiodded to his grandfather a out. Daichi was excited for 2 reasons. One. He wao explore and see more of the leaf vilge. And two, he wao plete his quest.

  'Alright. What to do first?... Gono buy a few things to test out my iory. And I o start on my gardening quest but I don't know much about gardening, so a book on that would be nice. Hmm… Now that I think about it, a book on cooking would be good too. If I learn to cook dishes that restores my HP and CP, it would be a great booo unlock my chakra. So I definitely have to go to the library and read a few books on that.’

  ‘No wait. The old man must have Chakra theory books in his personal library. What I need right now is information. I have to find out if there are any ges to the history as. I o firm whether this is the timeline or if I'm living in some alternate universe.'

  Daichi made up his mind and decided to head towards the library. He walked around taking in the sights. A few mier he saw a small book stall on the side of the road. It was a small store sandwiched between tartment buildings. He decided to check it out. He saw an old man with gray hair sitting on a stool at the front.

  'Observe'

  [LV. 22][Khan]

  Age: 55

  HP: 2947 CP: 1320

  [Khan is a former reserve genin. He spent most of his career pleting menial missions. He was injured during a scouting mission in the 3rd world war which sent him to retirement. He now spends his time as the owner of Khan's book store. He is also a secret informant of Jiraiya. He has 2 sons.]

  As Daichi read the description he did a double take. 'I didn't think I would e into tact with aed to the Sannin so soon. 't make any mistakes. Gotta act my age and keep cool.'

  As he reached the store a new notification appeared.

  You have found a book stall.

  Quest progression. (3/7)

  "Hellood m." Daichi said in a calm voibsp;

  "M. What I get you boy?" Khan asked.

  "I'm looking food cookbook with lots of recipes. And a book on gardening. Do you have any of those?" Daichi asked politely.

  "Of course. Hold on."

  With those words Khan stood up and searched through the stacks of books piled up. Shortly after, he returned with two books.

  "Here. I think these two should help." Khan handed Daichi the two books.

  'Observe'

  [Cooking finners]

  A leaf cookbook finners. tains several modern and cssic recipes made easy. This cookbook includes a prehensive guide to kit essentials, prep and cooking teiques, 100+ tasty recipes. This cookbook simplifies plex cooking teiques which makes it perfect finners.

  'Observe'

  [A Gardener's Guide]

  This guide will introduce you to the fuals of horticulture whether you are an amateur or a seasoned gardener. It covers every aspect of creating, managing and w in an anic garden. This book is excellent finners who are looking to build their own garden.

  After looking over the description of the two books Daichi was satisfied. He flipped open a few pages and glossed over them.

  After a minute he closed the book and said "These will do. How much?"

  "350 Ryo" Came the reply.

  Daichi paid the amount and was about to leave but he saw a few bags and different types of sungsses hanging at the back of the store. One particur type of sungss caught his eye.

  It was round, with bck tinted shades and a green frame. That gss reminded Daichi of the steampunk type gsses. He also decided to buy a bck backpack to keep his books. After having Khan bring him the two things he paid an additional 180 Ryo ahe store.

  'Observe'

  [Bck sungsses]

  These sungsses are uniquely stylish and enhahe wearer's aesthetic appeal with ease. The craftsman who made these gsses was said to have been inspired by a retro futuristic sce fi hat depicts teology never-before-seen in this world. This is a medium size sungss with stylish green frames and round shades.

  'Observe'

  [Bck backpack]

  Ahat is only used by travelers and students. A simple frameless backpack with above average aesthetic design. This is made of cotton fabrid coated with wax. Although this backpack has excellent roofing it ot withstand all abrasions.

  He put the books in the bag and put on his new suhe main reason he bought a sungss was to make sure no one saw the movements of his eyes. Daichi didn't eople to know that he was reading something that was invisible to them.

  If someone perceptive saw Daichi reading the notification boxes or the quest tents (which are invisible to them), they would either think he was crazy, attention seeking or had some kind of special ability. None of which could be good for him. This way he could reduce the risk of someone finding out about his powers. This was his thought.

  He tinued his walk to the library. He asked for dires a couple of times and after 30 minutes he finally reached his destination.
