Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 176: Therapist Daiki - 6

'Should I be insulted that nobody believes me at first when I tell them this?' Daiki wondered.

Tenten, Naruto and now Sakura. Sure, they were all of his generation and were pretty ignorant of how things actually worked unlike him, but still.

Well, Sakura caught on quickly to it not being a lie at least.

"Because I'm strong, and that's the main requirement of being Hokage," Daiki shrugged, "While not as strong as Kakashi even when using the seal I got from Orochimaru and improved upon to make it better. I've got another power, that makes me the strongest guy in this village besides the Hokage himself."

"Anotherpower?" Sakura trailed off, before her eyes lit up suddenly, "Is it something to do with the Hero Water? You drank that before when we went to the Waterfall Village and you like powered up massively from it for a bit and absolutely crushed that guy that took me hostage. Can you use that on the fly or something now?"

"No, good try though," Daiki laughed, "It's something that needs to be kept secret for now, Hokage's law and all and it's not really my power so much as a power I can borrow. And that's who I've been with for the last while actually, I was getting personal training from the old man."

"Training with the Hokage himself, huh? That must have been amazing," Sakura gasped in awe, before swallowing and shaking her head, "But you as the Hokage huh? I can only imagine the kind of stupid laws you would pass."

"Hehe," Daiki thumbed his nose, "The first one I'm passing, is that all hot kunoichi, like you for instance, are required to wear tiny mini skirts!" he proclaimed proudly, punching his fist into the air grandly.

"Of course it is." Sakura gave him a dry look.

"Better get shopping for some nice mini skirts for the future." he taunted her with a laugh.

Sakura in return merely shrugged, "I'm good, I already own plenty."

Daiki crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at her challengingly, "But are they pleated?"

"More than half of them," Sakura shrugged, and then laughed lightly, "Really not hiding your tastes at all here."

"Good girl, being prepared and ahead of the game, that's a true kunoichi right there." Daiki praised her.

"You know that's the first time since I graduated the academy somebody has called me a good kunoichi? Well, beyond Lee and Naruto," Sakura cocked her head thoughtfully, "And it's because I own some small skirts?"

"And it came from the future Hokage himself, aren't you special?" Daiki grinned at her.

"Yay?" she replied dully, "This is truly going to be the highlight of my career as a kunoichi."

He laughed, "Good to see how much my opinion means to you," he shot back, "But, while we're on the topic and getting around to training, what actually is your plan with your career? What are you aiming for here? Well, besides wanting to ride Sasuke until his bed breaks."

Sakura bit her lip, "To be honest, I don't know anymore. The forest of death was a real wake up call for me," she replied, and then raised both eyebrows at him, "And should the future Hokage really talk like that? Besides, you already know, I decided to let that go, I've already learned how shallow my feelings were."

"Fair enough, there's plenty of time to think of what you want to aim for to be honest, it doesn't even have to be anything grand, you can just want to be a strong well earning kunoichi and live a good life," Daiki replied, nodding his head, "And I can stop if you want, I'm just having a laugh." he offered

"Noit's alright," she huffed a bit through her nose, a small half smile splaying across her face, "I've gotten used to it now, and I kind of like how upfront and honest you are about everything. It's a far cry from Naruto just telling me what I want to hear and Sasuke barely ever opening his mouth when I talk to him."

Well, fair enough. He could see how that would be a refreshing change of pace. And it was always nice to see where you stood with people.

"And you like me complimenting you." he pointed and added.

"Maybe a bit." Sakura shrugged, unforthcomingly, but her pretty green eyes glittered with happiness and gave her away regardless.

"Alright then, phat ass, and that's with a ph and not an f," Daiki clapped his hands together, "Let's get down to training shall we?"

"Still not charming to say that by the way, even if you change the spelling." Sakura told him, but nodded in agreement nonetheless.
