Chapter 173: C Rank mission & Chain Quests
Kakashi and his student stepped into the Hokage's office ready to take on their next mission.
"Ah! You two are here. Excellent." The Hokage said and looked through some documents. "I have a C Rank mission if you're interested."
"Yes sir." Kakashi said.
"Good." The Hokage nodded and looked to the assistant Chunin. "Send him in."
The Chunin quickly left and a few seconds later a middle aged man stepped into the room. He gave a small smile as he looked at everyone.
"Kakashi, Daichi. This is Kenichi Garoya. He's your client. Now this mission is a bit tricky. A valuable heirloom that was in his family for generations was stolen. Your mission is to track it down and retrieve it." The Hokage introduced the man and gave a rough outline of the mission.
Daichi had a small frown as he heard the broad details. "So a simple tracking mission Doesn't seem that complicated to me."
The kage just smiled as if he was expecting that response. "That's not the case young Daichi. The thing that makes this mission challenging is that the heirloom was stolen almost a year ago."
Daichi's eyes slightly widened and Kakashi sighed. The Jonin knew a mission like this could be a headache.
"Ok you're right. That complicates things." Daichi said. At that moment a new quest and notifications appeared. But this time there was something different.

[Accept Y/N]
Daichi accepted the quest and a new notification appeared.
[You have accepted the 1st quest.]
Daichi was excited about this mission. 'Finally! Something challenging.'
At that moment the client stepped forward and spoke. "Hello. My name is Kenichi Garoya. And I would be grateful if you two could help me with my predicament."
"Well, we'll certainly try." Kakashi replied with a nod.
"Splendid. But let's discuss the matter over some Tea. I know just the place." The client and two ninjas slightly bowed to the Hokage and left the place.
Kenichi took them to a beautifully designed Tea shop and got them a private booth. He ordered for them and got situated.
"Wow, so you're the owner of this place?" Daichi asked in surprise.
Daichi looked at the interaction between the two. 'So he knows the Guy. Wonder how strong he is?'
The boy used 'Observe' skill and couldn't find anything. 'Damn. I guess they wouldn't keep someone weak to guard important documents.'
Shigeru and Kakashi talked for a short while. His eyes then turned to Daichi. "So who's this?"
Kakashi placed a hand on Daichi's head and spoke with a smile. "Well, this is my student. Daichi."
The Guard looked puzzled. "You took a Genin team? Where's the other two?"
"Well, it's just him. He's a special case, so I took him as sort of an apprentice." Kakashi said while Daichi just looked gruntled. He never liked it when someone messed up his hair.
Shigeru raised an eyebrow at that reply. A couple seconds later he looked at Daichi with renewed interest. "You wouldn't happen to be Daichi Hekima, the medic who studied under Lady Tsunade would you?"
Daichi was slightly surprised at that. "Yes sir. I am."
The guard smiled at that. "You may not know me but I know about you. During your time here at the hospital, you saved my friend's life. You're quite the talented medic."
"Thank you for the compliment sir, but I wouldn't even be half as good without Lady Tsunade and Shizune senpai's help." Daichi replied. He wanted to give a humble appearance.
The guard gave a light hearted laugh hearing that. He turned his attention back to the Jonin. "So Kakashi, what are you looking for?"
"We're looking for the incident report and the investigation files pertaining to a robbery that happened almost a year ago. A robbery that took place at Kenichi Garoya's home." Kakashi answered.
"Ahh yes. I remember. Come with me."
Shigeru opened the door and led them inside. The group entered a large room with dozens of shelves with different labels on them. Thousands of scrolls were stored in this place. The guard led the two ninjas to a certain section of the room.
He opened the shelf and after some searching took a scroll and handed it to Kakashi. "Here. This is what you're looking for."
Kakashi and Daichi looked through the documents and report and it pretty much stated what little they already knew. The thief took off with the family heirloom along with some jewelry and scrolls.
"Do you know anything about that incident? Have you heard any rumors?" Daichi asked the man.
Shigeru nodded his head and spoke. "Well, this investigation is one of those very rare ones where no culprit was found. Not even a single clue to identify who did this was left on the scene. There were no signs of forced entry or any disturbances inside the home. We couldn't find anything that pointed to anyone."
"So we're after someone with extraordinary stealth and thieving skills." Daichi said.
"Yes " Shigeru agreed.
[Congratulations. You have encountered a Lucky break.]
[+1 Luck]
Daichi was pleasantly surprised at this notification. He looked at the guard and the man looked like he wanted to say something else and Daichi caught on to it.
"What is it?" The boy asked.
"Well, not to brag but the guards and ninja guarding the capital are some of the best. And the fact that we still couldn't find the person who did this It is still a shameful moment for all of us You know some of us joked around that the person who pulled off this robbery was the Phantom thief" Shigeru replied with a small smile.
"The Phantom thief?" Daichi could see Kakashi was surprised but more than that, There was something else in his tone that Daichi couldn't identify.
"Yeah. But it's not him. I guess we just said that as a way to protect our self esteem." Shigeru replied with a small smile.
"Do you know about this Phantom thief, sensei?" Daichi asked Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed and was quiet for a few seconds. "Yes. Let's just say I've come across his work." The Jonin replied.
At that moment before Daichi could press his sensei for more information a new quest popped up.
[2nd Quest.]
[Quest created - Identify the Legendary Thief.]
Daichi looked at the quest title and was shocked. 'What the hell?'
