Bab 193: Chapter 193 - Nature training: Water
A lone Genin sat in the middle of the lake flowing through training ground three and was meditating. There were several birds sitting on his shoulders and legs and letting out small chirps. But their noises didn't distract the child. He had now been sitting there for over five days. The Genin neither ate nor slept as he formed a deep and vast connection with the water element.
Several meters away, the boy's teacher stood and looked at the child. The silver haired Jonin had a stoic face as he looked at his student. 'Its almost six days now. He hasn't moved an inch from that spot. His concentration and will is certainly amazing.'
At that moment Kakashi sensed another presence joining him.
Kensei walked up to Kakashi and stood near the tree lines. He watched his adopted grandson train the Change in Chakra nature of Water. He remembered what Daichi said to him before coming to the training ground.
"Hey Gramps, I'll be spending the next few weeks improving my Water Nature chakra skills. I've hit a block and I have an idea as to how to get past it, but I'll need time. So I'm gonna take a couple weeks off. I've already informed sensei." Daichi said to his grandpa before leaving the house.
"What are you going to do?"
At Kensei's question the boy smiled. "I think meditation is the key to solving my problem."
The old veteran ninja merely nodded. "Good luck."
He was proud of the man Daichi was becoming. "If he succeeds, he'll have achieved what only a handful of people in the world have accomplished." The old man said in a small voice.
"His growth is unprecedented. To learn the third step in just a few months. It's insane. I don't think even Minato sensei could have accomplished something like that." The Jonin commented without taking his eyes off the boy.
Kensei smirked and spoke. "He will only learn it right now but he won't be able to master it in such a short time. That level of proficiency still requires months of dedicated training. But his progress is still impressive nonetheless."
The two men didn't say anything else and just watched the boy. As they stood for several minutes they suddenly noticed a change happening in the water flow around the boy.
'He's coming out of his meditation. Did he succeed?' That was the question on both of their minds.
A few seconds later they both felt a massive rise in the boy's chakra.
'What's going on?'
—-
Daichi was in a deep meditative state. He completed the first phase of the third step but felt as if he was stuck and couldn't move further. He could quickly extract water from plants and the ground but it was not quick enough and he needed to concentrate quite a bit to achieve the feat.
And thus after reading several books and notes, Daichi decided to meditate. He found that the calm river flowing through the middle of his training ground would be ideal. Even though six days is a short time, for Daichi it may as well have been weeks.
While he meditated he began examining the water flowing under him. He contemplated the temperature, movements and weight of the water. He imagined it as a part of his body. What it felt like to be the water. He spent every second pondering the existence of this life giving element and tried to understand it.
Days passed with Daichi making slow progress but on the dawn of the sixth day Daichi finally had a great understanding of water nature.
[Due to having a brief enlightenment, you have obtained +1 WIS]
A powerful connection was formed with the Water element.
[Skill Water affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Chakra Flow's level has risen by one.] x2
[Skill Water Extraction technique's level has risen by one] x6
The notifications alerted Daichi and he opened his eyes. He looked at the messages and had a small smile on his face. 'Finally. I understand now. But before I test the results, there is something else I must do.'
Sensing movements from the boy, the birds all quickly flew away. Daichi smiled as he looked at the scene. Then without wasting a second the young Genin opened his status page. He looked at the Chakra stat under the Primary stats.
[Chakra - 416]
'I have 591 stat points. Just holding on to them will only hinder me from this point forward. And this will also give me the opportunity to test my theory. Time to increase this stat and take it to the next level.'
Daichi added 84 points to the stat and watched it get up to 500. The moment the stat reached that number several notifications appeared. But Daichi was far too immersed in the feeling of his chakra being increased to notice the blue boxes right away.
"Amazing…" Daichi couldn't help but exclaim out loud. 'This feeling. It's incredible. It feels as if I'm overflowing with energy. As if I can accomplish anything.'
[Gamer's Mind Activated.]
Just before Daichi could let out a manic laugh from the high of overflowing chakra, his mental skill calmed him down. Once calmed down, the boy took several deep breaths and regained his peaceful state of mind. He then looked at the various blue boxes stacked up in front of him.
[Chakra stat has reached 500. ]
[CP formula is revised.]
[The skill Advanced Chakra Affinity has evolved to Supreme Chakra Affinity. The skill Advanced Chakra Regeneration has evolved to Supreme Chakra Regeneration. This increases the chakra points and chakra regeneration speed of the player.]
[Note: Supreme Chakra Affinity and Supreme Chakra Regeneration skills have now reached Max. Level.]
[Congratulations. You have successfully trained two skills to their highest level.]
[1000 Exp.]
[150 Exp.]
[Warning: Chakra stat has reached 500. Cannot increase this stat with training anymore. Can only use Free stat points to increase the number.]
'So even though the skills have reached Max level the system has no problems with increasing stat points. Good.'
Daichi then looked at the warning and he wasn't surprised. 'I knew it. So my theory was right. Once a stat reaches level 500 there will be a restriction from the system. Now I will only be able to use points for this stat… Hmm… Then this must be the case for the other stats as well. I see.'
Daichi opened the skill list and looked at the two new maxed out skills. 'New effects were added along with a 150% increase in chakra strength and defense based skills. My chakra points have also gotten a serious boost. Looks like I'll be able to complete Tsunade's secret technique soon.'
Only after confirming everything and closing all the blue system boxes did Daichi pay attention to the two ninjas hanging back in the forest. 'They must be surprised about the rapid chakra increase. But I have an excuse for that. I'm sure they're also eager to see my progress. Well, can't blame them. I'm also looking forward to this.'
Daichi got up from his spot and multiple bone pops could be heard. The boy stretched his body and felt much better. With a smile he walked to the shore and greeted the two ninjas who came to see him.
"Going by that smile, I take it you know how to move past your problem?" Kakashi asked but he already knew the answer.
The boy nodded. "Yes. You were right. I just needed the right mindset and instinct."
"What was that huge chakra release just now?"
"Since I understand the Water chakra nature more thoroughly, I felt that it was time to cut loose and really test my limits and progress of third step skills. And for that holding back would be counterproductive." Daichi gave a smooth reply.
The Jonin teacher didn't ask any more and just nodded his head and hummed. Kensei knew it wasn't the whole truth but didn't say anything about it. He kept his thoughts to himself since his grandson didn't want to reveal them to his teacher.
"Well, no time to waste then." With those words Daichi began moving inward into the training ground and away from the nearby river. Once he reached the clearing in the distance he stopped and let out a breath. Kensei and Kakashi both stood a few meters behind the boy.
The Genin closed his eyes and stood motionless. He let out a breath and then looked around. 'Creating a powerful water jutsu with just the use of atmosphere. That's the goal.'
The next second with lightning speed he went through several hand seals. His concentration peaked as he began executing the jutsu.
'Water style - Water Wall jutsu.'
Daichi's goal was to create a powerful water wall from the atmosphere. Up until now he had been gathering chakra, changing its nature to water and spitting out the needed volume for the jutsu or using external sources if available.
But now he could feel the difference. As he went through the hand seals and prepared, his chakra spread outward from his body in fast but small precise quantities. With great clarity Daichi could sense the presence of water particles in the air.
'Come on. Focus on the space around me. Visualize the water particles in the air. Force the molecules together. Collect as many particles as possible and combine them…'
These thoughts went through Daichi's mind in less than a second.
The eyes of Kakashi and Kensei who were standing a short distance behind Daichi widened in disbelief.
Kensei looked at the fast swirling and increasing vortex of water with Daichi standing in the center. 'I knew he could do it but still… To see and experience it. It's totally different.'
Kakashi already had his Sharingan out and was amazed with what he saw. With each second the jutsu got bigger and bigger. 'To have such fast and precise control over the spread of his chakra and to even create such a powerful water style jutsu. Especially where there is no water… There is no mistaking it. Daichi has just become the most powerful water style jutsu user in the whole Leaf village.'
Daichi stood in the center of a swirling mass of water that grew bigger and bigger by the second. He could sense his chakra seeping into the ground, trees and even saturate the air and extract and combine the water particulates.
The young Gamer wasn't satisfied with the amount of water gathered after about a dozen seconds. 'More. I have to see my limits. And then move beyond them. Come on. I need to create more water. Find the two atoms. Combine Hydrogen and Oxygen. Use heat as a catalyst...'
He closed his eyes, concentrated and increased the chakra output. He could sense the molecules in the air and he added a minute amount of heat to start the process. The next second the speed of water formation increased. Daichi thought about nothing but the task he was attempting. The ground cracked from the sheer force, trees shook and the leaves flew all around in the air.
After about 30 seconds Daichi opened his eyes. All around him was fast swirling water. It was several meters high and there was a high volume of water concentrated and held in the air. The boy looked in wonder at the clear liquid surrounding him. As he stood there, Daichi felt as if he had achieved inner peace. He closed his eyes and basked in the feeling for a few moments.
A few seconds later a large grin formed on the Genin's face. He sensed no life present for several meters in front of him. Immediately he began forming several different seals for his next jutsu. In moments he completed the long sequence of hand seals.
"Water style - Water Dragon shockwave!"
The gathered water swiftly changed form and took the shape of a Large dragon with yellow eyes. With a ferocious roar it rushed forward destroying everything in its path. Crushing trees, rocks, boulders… Nothing stood in its ways and survived.
Due to the crystal clear water, Daichi saw the aftermath of his jutsu and what it left behind. He was satisfied with its strength and cut the chakra off to the jutsu. The dragon kept going for a couple more seconds before losing form and then the water came crashing down and kept moving forward.
Daichi looked ahead and saw the devastating power of his technique.
"Did you really have to do that?" Kakashi came near the boy and asked with a tired sigh. He looked at the wrecked training ground in front of him and let out a deep breath. 'Ohh Tenzo is not going to be happy.'
"I had to see for myself. How far I have come." Daichi didn't say anything else.
Kensei came and patted the boy's back. "Your jutsu reminds of the ones Lord Second used in his times. I've only seen him fight a few times and it was incredible. The sheer power, versatility and the cunning way he used his techniques… The way he created water from air… Daichi, you're finally stepping into the realms of Legends."
The old man had no problems with showering Daichi with praise. Especially after the performance he just saw.
The boy smiled at the compliment. "Thank Gramps. But this is just a start. I'm gonna surpass them all."
