The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Monday.

[You have slept in a bed. HP, CP, SP and MP have been fully restored.]

Daichi opened his eyes and let out a small yawn. He stretched his hands and legs and got off the bed.

'All the pain I felt is gone. I feel good as new. Both mind and body. Thank you, Gamer ability!'

Daichi smirked as he got ready for the day. He thought about everything that happened during the Uchiha massacre and the speech the third Hokage gave the next day.

After the Uchiha massacre the Hokage held a village announcement the next day. It was to address what had happened and he said some comforting words to reassure the people of their safety.

'The academy is also closed for the whole week. People are afraid of letting their children out of sight. I don't blame them. An entire clan was killed in a single night. And one of the strongest too. He must think a week would be enough to calm them down. There are also a lot more ninjas on patrol. A show of force for the villagers.'

Daichi put on some new clothes and got ready. 'This week I'll be focusing on nothing but Rasengan training. I need to complete it quickly and then move on to the next tasks.'

Daichi then thought about the events and his mind wandered to two particular people. 'Reo… I wonder how you must feel…. You must miss them huh!... Sasuke. Will you walk down the path of the avenger or will you choose a different road…?'

As Daichi thought about those two, he was in a dilemma? 'Should I reveal her existence to him?' After thinking about it for a while Daichi made a decision. He went downstairs and saw Kensei sipping his morning tea.

"Good morning!" Kensei greeted his grandson.

"Morning Gramps!" Daichi sat down and ate some breakfast.

"How are you feeling right now?" Kensei asked the kid.

Daichi raised an eyebrow at the question. Kensei elaborated on seeing Daichi's expression.

"You were pretty worn out. You've greatly exhausted your chakra by the time you were done yesterday. So…"

Daichi nodded as he heard Kensei. "I'm good. I'm feeling much better. And I'm ready for the next step. I'll be spending the week on this training… Well after I've had my morning workouts." Daichi quickly finished his breakfast and went to complete the daily tasks of the long running quest.

Kensei sighed as he had already predicted this. He sensed Daichi's chakra the moment he woke up. 'His chakra is fully recovered. I knew it! His body can heal and recover to peak form even after such intense chakra exertions after a single night's rest… I suppose I'll add that to the rest of the abnormalities of his body. And it's not just that. His chakra volume had grown again.'

Kensei thought back to their last fight. 'Even though he is only 8 years old his physical strength and chakra level is almost equal to a high chunin. I've had to use much more force than usual to even bruise him. And he hasn't even hit puberty yet. What kind of a beast would he be by the time he becomes a genin or he reaches 16…? I can't see his limits. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell I suppose!'

The old ninja sighed and continued sipping his tea. Once he was done he went to the porch and sat in silence.

Daichi was going through his morning workouts. He thought about yesterday's gains. 'Got a new skill and several of my chakra related skills have gone up. Not to mention the 5 point increase in my chakra stat. Now it's at 115. I have a feeling it will keep increasing as I complete this training.'

He completed the workout shortly after and then meditated. Daichi wanted to be in top form before starting the second step of the Rasengan. After half an hour of meditation Daichi went to get the rubber balls.

He took one and then stood in the middle of the backyard. He had a single rubber ball in his right hand and he let out a breath.

"Time to get started."

Daichi concentrated his chakra into his palm and started rotating the energy. The rubber ball started to show small bulges here and there but it didn't break. As Daichi focused more chakra into the ball the bulges became more and more but the ball still remained intact. A minute after he began, as he expected, a new notification box appeared.

[A new skill is created with a specific action.]

[Through continuously concentrating chakra to the palm of your hand and forcing more and more to flow, the skill 'Chakra Potency' has been created.]

[Chakra Potency - (Active/Passive)(LV.01): A skill that helps the user master their chakra and use it more proficiently. This skill is one of several advanced chakra control techniques to help the user increase the size of their chakra volume and potency of their chakra. This skill also helps with controlling the size and range of a jutsu.]

[Effects:]

[+2% Increase in Chakra size and range.]

[+0.1% Increase in Chakra Potency and CP.]

[CP Cost: Depends on the user.]

Daichi read the details of the new skill. 'Chakra potency huh! This skill increases the potency of my chakra and my Chakra points. That's big. It looks like instead of control, this skill focuses on increasing the strength of my chakra… Hmm… Makes sense.'

Daichi looked intently at the rubber ball. 'The academy is closed for 5 days and reopens next Monday. So that gives me a full week of training time. I have to complete this step and then the last part of the Rasengan in these 7 days.'

With a renewed determination Daichi pushed forward. He gathered his chakra to the center of the palm and started rotating it.

A few hours went by as he trained. The chakra potency skill increased little by little. He trained till his whole CP was down to single digits and then he would meditate for an hour. His chakra stat point increased by 2 due to the intensity of the training.

Sweat was pouring down Daichi's face as he concentrated on the ball in his hand. 'Come on… Come on.' As he gritted his teeth and forced more chakra into his hand, the rubber ball bulged more and more and then a light pop was heard.

[Skill Chakra Potency's level has risen by one.]

Daichi was breathing hard as he looked at the result. "It popped." He looked at the small hole in the ball.

"Well it's a start." 'And the chakra potency skill has reached level 10… Not bad. Not bad at all for almost 4 hours of work.'

Kensei, who was quietly sitting on the porch reading a book, was also surprised when he heard the ball pop. 'He actually managed to do it. Amazing… Keep it up kid. You got this in the bag.'

Daichi then noticed the growling sounds of his stomach and went to get something to eat. Once he had his fill he quickly returned and began to meditate under the shade of the tree and after his chakra was fully recovered, he resumed his training.

'The key is to increase the amount and use more chakra.' Daichi resumed his training while Kensei narrowed his eyes and sensed Daichi's chakra.

'This training forces the chakra coils in the body to expend more chakra quickly and thus expand. This will increase the chakra reserves and the power of one's chakra. But anyone with insufficient chakra reserves would never be able to complete this training even in a few months. And this type of training also puts an enormous strain on the body. After a while you would be unable to move a finger let alone keep training…'

Kensei kept looking at Daichi as he forced more chakra and tried to pop the ball.

'Anyone training this control technique would be in pain and completely exhausted. They would need to rest and recover. But this kid… He is able to recover his chakra and heal much faster than normal. Especially when he meditates. I've heard that the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had similar abilities. Able to recover chakra and heal quickly… But he was a freak of nature… And now looking at Daichi and his speed of improvement… I have a feeling he'll one day be in the same league as the first Hokage.'

Daichi kept training till it was nightfall. Just like before, he took turns taking rest and then resuming his training. He was only able to increase the skill to level 32 by the time he was done.

"POP." A loud sound resonated through the backyard of the house. Daichi fell to his knees and was breathing hard. His entire body shook as he took each breath.

"Damn… Only level 32?... I thought I would be able to complete this by now…"

Daichi looked at the last ball he burst open. The hole in it was much wider than the first one. It indicated the improvement in his skill but Daichi wasn't satisfied with it. "I need to do better…"

Daichi took several breaths and stood on shaky legs…

"Arg…."

He hissed in pain. 'My whole body feels like it's on fire.'

"Do you need help?" His grandfather asked him.

Daichi shook his head. Determined to do it on his own. He took shaky steps into the house and went straight to his room. After cleaning himself up he went straight to sleep.

Tuesday.

"Ding!"

[You have slept in a bed. HP, CP, SP and MP have been fully restored.]

Daichi opened his eyes as he heard the notification sound of the system message. He got out of bed and got ready for the day. He quickly freshened up and went downstairs to get something to eat.

"Morning Gramps!" He greeted Kensei and quickly started eating.

Kensei greeted him like normal but he was amazed at Daichi's recovery ability. 'His chakra reserves are back to full capacity. And it doesn't seem like he's in any pain whatsoever. Incredible! To be able to heal with one sleep. This must be one of his abilities like immunity to direct Genjutsu attacks. I'm sure of it. But how? Is this some kind of new Kekkei Genkai ability? Or was he born with his body like this? I'm sure I'll find out one day.'

Kensei didn't address his thoughts as he knew he might not get an answer from Daichi. Kensei knew Daichi loved him but he also knew Daichi wouldn't share his secrets. He knew the child had trust issues but he didn't know what caused it. For the moment he was content with how things were going between them.

Daichi began the second step of the Rasengan training after he completed his workouts. He took the rubber ball and concentrated.

As time went by Daichi's progress increased. He also gained 2 stat points in chakra and was able to level up several chakra related skills. Hours passed by as he pushed himself to complete this step.

It was evening around 6. Daichi stood with several rubber balls around him. He took a new one and focused his chakra. He narrowed his eyes and concentrated as much as he could. His chakra was rushing to his hand with great force.

The ball bulged more and more and became unstable.

"Boom!"

A loud blast sounded out through the area. Kensei, who was asleep, woke up with a startle.

'What the f…?'

He then turned his attention to Daichi.

The rubber ball exploded in Daichi's hands. There were small burn marks in his right palm and it hurt but he didn't mind. He had a huge smile on his face as he looked at the shredded pieces of the ball.

"YES! I DID IT!"

His loud shout brought a smile to Kensei's face. "Well done. You've exceeded my expectations. Now come on. You're done for the day. Time to get some rest."

Daichi nodded and slowly went into the house.
