The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 188 - An Ominous Warning

"Yeah. It's Daichi's treat. Hit us up with your best old man." Naruto said as he excitedly got on his seat.

"That sounds like a challenge..." The Ramen chef took everyone's order and quickly got to work.

All of them got settled and focused their attention back on Daichi and listened to his adventure.

Daichi explained how he and his sensei first found the secret room. The students were amazed when Daichi told them how he found the clues hidden in the teapot and finally how the team managed to find the great treasure.

"And when we looked around, everything that was stolen was kept perfectly preserved. We found the Phantom's hidden treasure." Daichi concluded his story with a grin

"Oh man... That's awesome." Naruto and Kiba had stars in their eyes at the end.

"Oh wow. I want to become a Genin and go on exciting missions too. It sounds totally awesome. Believe it!" Naruto said, pumping his fists in the air.

"I assume the reward you mentioned is for finding the treasure..." Sakura asked Daichi.

The boy nodded his head. "Yup. The Hokage figured we deserve it for solving that case."

"Just you wait, Daichi. When I become a Genin I'm gonna go on even more awesome adventures than you."

The Genin chuckled hearing that. "It's not a competition, Naruto. And you have to be a Genin first. Which will only happen if you study and train some more..."

"Do you know the chemical composition of the special invisible ink used? That's a great way to send secret messages." Sakura asked.

"I do. But Lord Hokage told me not to disclose that information."

"I see."

At that moment Teuchi came with everyone's order. "Here you go. Enjoy."

"Thank you for the meal."

Everyone began digging into their food and they were all surprised.

"You know Naruto, I may have misjudged your taste... This ramen is really good..." Ino said as she slowly ate her food.

"See I told you. This is the best food in the world."

"I wouldn't go that far." Ino mumbled with a sweatdrop as she looked at her friend's antics.

"Even though this Ramen is good I say Yakiniku BBQ is still the best." Choji said as he dug into his bowl.

"No way. Ramen is the best!" Naruto wolfed down the remaining food and glared at the Akimichi.

"BBQ!" Choji finished his meal and looked at his friend defending his favorite meal.

"Ramen!"

"BBQ!"

Then as one they both turned towards Daichi who was peacefully eating his ramen and enjoying the taste trying to ignore everything else around him. He suddenly stopped eating and looked up to see two eyes boring holes into his head.

"Ehh..."

"Daichi, which is better? Ramen or BBQ?" Naruto asked.

"Please don't bring me into this..." The young gamer said with a sigh.

"But we have to decide..." Choji spoke up.

"Well, I'll treat you to a BBQ next time and then we'll come to an agreement. Right now, just enjoy the food."

Naruto and Choji looked at each other and then ordered more. Choji ordered more in the name of tasting different flavors while Naruto just loved Teuchi's food.
