章節 16: Chapter 16 - Chakra Control and Body Conditioning
Daichi got up just as the 6 am alarm went off. His body was getting acclimated to the routine. He completed the morning rituals and got ready for an intense training day. He only had a month to impress Kensei and he had to show some massive improvements from his first day.
He put on his black sunglasses and went downstairs and saw his grandfather sitting outside meditating.
"Morning kid." Kensei greeted him.
"Morning Gramps. When did you get up?"
"Half an hour before you did. So what's your plan for today?"
"I'm gonna be training the whole day. Chakra control exercises and some strength training." Daichi said.
"Why are you wearing those glasses now?" Kensei was a little curious.
"That's because I really like them. And I decided I'm not going anywhere without them. Plus it makes me look cool." Daichi gave a cheeky reply.
Kensei sighed. 'Kids today…' He went back to meditating.
Both of them were at the back of the house. Daichi went to a tree and picked a few leaves and then sat down.
'So he's going to try the leaf concentration technique. Let's see how long he can hold it.' Kensei discreetly paid close attention to Daichi.
Meanwhile Daichi sat down under the tree and calmed down. He concentrated and stopped thinking about unnecessary thoughts. Letting a few slow breaths in and out he looked at the leaf in his hand. And then he gently brought the leaf to his forehead.
Daichi held the leaf against the center of his forehead and concentrated his chakra to that spot. He felt his chakra moving. Within moments the leaf stuck to his forehead and he let go of it. After a couple of seconds several notification boxes appeared.
Their appearance distracted him and the leaf fell down but Daichi was happy.
[A new skill is created with a specific action.]
[Through continuously concentrating chakra to stick a leaf to your forehead, the skill 'Leaf concentration technique' has been created.]
[Leaf concentration technique - (Active/Passive)(LV. 1):A skill obtained through continuously focusing chakra to stick a leaf to a part of your body. A basic technique to help the user's mind focus and Increase chakra control . ]
[Effects : +5% increase in chakra control.
CP cost : 10/sec.
-2% CP cost to chakra techniques.]
'He managed to learn it quickly. But still… compared to the civilian kids this might be good. But this is still average compared to the clan kids. Now that he's learned it, the question is how long will he be able to hold it and how far can he increase it.'
Kensei was neither disappointed nor impressed. This result was normal when compared to kids born of shinobi parents. The difference in talent comes from how long he can keep this up and how quickly he can improve.
Daichi was quickly calculating how long he could stick the leaf to him before his chakra ran out.
'Right now I have 319 CP. So with a 10 CP cost that gives me roughly 32 seconds till the leaf falls… Half a minute Huh.'
'And this isn't taking into account my chakra regeneration. Right now my chakra is regenerating 5CP per minute. Not considering the buff of lesser chakra regeneration skill.'
'But if I take into account my regen skill then I get roughly 20 CP per minute. And if I meditate, then that increases to roughly 36 per minute. So in my current state once I'm completely out of chakra it'll take 9 minutes to refill my chakra.'
'I need to decrease the cost of the technique and improve my chakra volume.'
Daichi mentally closed the blue holographic boxes and returned to training. He took the leaf again and placed it on his forehead and concentrated.
He continued for 30 seconds before his chakra ran out and the leaf fell.
[Skill Leaf concentration technique's level has risen by one.]
[Due to continued chakra training, you have obtained +1 CHK]
He then entered the meditative state. He calmed his mind and focused on his chakra. Ignoring the system messages that occasionally popped up he continued to meditate. After about 10 minutes he opened his eyes.
[Skill Lesser chakra regeneration's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Meditate's level has risen by one.]
Now that his CP bar was full he took the leaf and repeated the control exercise. This time he was able to last roughly 43 seconds.
[Skill Leaf concentration technique's level has risen by one.]
Daichi decided it was time to switch training. He got up and started stretching.
"So you're starting your physical exercises huh… That's good." Kensei said to him.
"Yeah. I want to concentrate on both my chakra and body. I read that physical training after one has exhausted their chakra yields more results."
"That's true. Physical training increases one's stamina and strength but if you're training while you have access to your full reserves it won't help you much. You'll definitely get stronger but not by a great margin. One has to train everyday for a long while to see significant results with training like that."
Daichi nodded, listening to his grandpa's words.
"But if you train after you've used up most of your chakra then the muscles will force your body to create more chakra. This in turn strengthens and expands your chakra coils. This type of training is more efficient but it will hurt. If you train using this method then by the end of the day, your body will feel like it's on fire."
Kensei stopped and looked at the boy. "Are you sure about this Daichi?" He was slightly concerned that the boy might be pushing too hard from the very beginning.
"I'll be fine gramps. I know the risks." Daichi's confident voice stopped any protests from Kensei.
Daichi had almost the same idea for his training and he had one secret advantage over everyone else. He was going to completely exhaust his chakra and stamina by doing control and physical training and then maximizing the meditative skill. 'With my Gamer's Body I can heal and recover much faster than everybody else.'
Once he was done with the stretches he got down to start his 50 set push ups….
As he reached the last of set,
[Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 STR]
His stat slightly increased. He changed positions and started a set of 50 squats. His agility stat also went up by 1 by the time he completed it.
[Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI]
Daichi slowly started to jog around the house. His stamina points were at the low end now. He was going to push his body and increase as many stats and skills as he could.
[+1 STAMINA]
[Skill Basic Body conditioning's level has risen by one.]
Once both his CP and SP had fallen below 5 he went to the tree and sat down and meditated. By the time he was done almost an hour had passed since he started the morning training.
"Come on Daichi. Let's get something to eat." Kensei invited him to breakfast. He quickly ate the food and went back to training.
There were many ideas in his head. How to improve on the leaf concentration technique and take it to the next level. It would be crucial to his growth. If his training ideas worked it would be a tremendous boost to his strength.
He could even slightly increase the speed of his training. But he decided to take it one step at a time. He knew that without a strong foundation he wouldn't be able to stand tall for long. So he made the choice to try those methods out once his stats got a little bit higher.
He kept training non stop till 1 past noon. Alternating between chakra control and physical conditioning. He put himself through several variations of different exercises. And as a result, his different stats and skill have increased.
[Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +2 VIT]
[Due to successful control of your body and senses, you have obtained +3 DEX]
[Due to continued chakra training, you have obtained +2 CHK]
[Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 STR]
[Due to the continued physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI]
[+3 STAMINA ]
[Skill Basic Body conditioning's level has risen by two.]
[Skill Meditate's level has risen by two.]
[Skill Lesser chakra affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Lesser chakra regeneration's level has risen by three.]
[Skill Chakra Manipulation's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Leaf concentration technique's level has risen by Two.]
Daichi looked at all the different notifications he ignored before piled up. Looking through them he couldn't help but be happy. An incredible stat growth in the span of half a day.
But he knew it wouldn't be like this for long. Once his stats crossed a certain threshold it would be difficult to raise them by training alone. He would need to rely on level ups and stat points.

'Wow. Gamer's ability is the ultimate cheat. But I have to keep grinding to bring out the max potential.'
"Grrr...." Suddenly he heard the sound of his stomach growling.
"Oh man. I'm so hungry right now. I didn't even notice it when I was training."
Daichi went to his room to get freshened up. After showering and putting on a new pair of clothes, he went downstairs. Kensei had already set the table for the two of them.
The old man took a look at him and said "I see your training has been productive. You've certainly improved."
"Yup. Gotta push myself and be ready. I plan on getting the number one spot at the academy." Daichi said with a confident smile.
Kensei smirked. "Oh? You think you can beat all the others? It'll be difficult. From what I know many children of the current clan heads will be enrolling next year. They will be an entirely different breed than the children of civilians and ordinary shinobis. You sure you're up for the challenge?"
"Yes." Daichi nodded. "I'm gonna work my butt off this year. I will definitely stand at the top."
Kensei's smirk slightly lessened and with a gentle smile he said. "Daichi. You know you don't always have to train, right? There are other important things in life. You're only 5. You can go play with kids your age. Enjoy life. You can train but if you overdo it, you'll burn out."
Daichi nodded. "I know Gramps. But the thing is… I really like training. I like this feeling of getting stronger. Bit by bit, day by day. And the truth is… kids my age kinda annoy me. I like this peaceful, quiet routine."
Hearing this, Kensei couldn't help but have a small laugh. Both of them sat down to eat.
As Daichi was eating, he was making plans to open his special stats. He was going to try and unlock the sense stat next. He already had some ideas in mind.
