章節 24: Chapter 24 - First day of the Academy
It was the morning of April 1st. Daichi and Kensei were walking down the road. Their destination - The Academy. It didn't take them long to reach the place.
Daichi was excited. He'd been waiting for this day for a long time. Both Daichi and his grandfather walked through the entrance gate of the academy building.
They saw dozens of parents and their children roaming the grounds. Kensei brought Daichi to the academy a week ago to get him registered. He answered some questions and completed some easy physical tests. After the teacher reviewed the results, Daichi was successfully signed on as an academy student.
Right now the entrance ceremony was about to take place. As the time for the ceremony to begin was nearing, the academy teachers instructed the new students to stand in several lines. The parents stood back watching the children stand in order.
Daichi was looking around the place. He spotted some familiar faces among the children and parents. He was using 'observe' and most of the kids were around 3-7 level. But they were mostly civilian children. Daichi spotted a couple of clan kids and they were around 7 and 8 level.
'Looks like those from the clan receive training even before joining this place. But that's to be expected. But even most of them only have a level of around 7 to 9. Looks like I'm the strongest in this batch. I guess all that intense training really paid off.'
Daichi, who was lost in thought, regained his bearings when the Hokage made his presence. He was in his usual attire with the traditional white robes and the Hokage hat on his head. He walked to the front and stood on the makeshift podium.
"Congratulations to all of you who were accepted into the academy. From this day forth, do your best to reach your goals to become a shinobi. You have a lot of hard work ahead of you on this journey. I expect great things and I know you'll do the leaf village proud. May the will of fire burn brightly in each and everyone of you."
Daichi was looking at the Hokage as he welcomed the students and for some reason he felt as if the Hokage was looking at him specifically during the end of his speech. He didn't put much thought into it as the instructors brought everyone to their assigned classroom.
The Hokage watched as the teachers took the children to their assigned classrooms. He was in deep thought as he looked at two particular students.
Hiruzen looked at Naruto who was slowly disappearing among the crowds. 'Minato… Kushina… Your son is slowly growing up. I know you would be proud of him.'
He then turned his attention towards Daichi. He was looking forward to Daichi's growth throughout the coming years. 'His chakra has increased by a wide margin. At least when compared to when I first met him. Show me just how talented you are, young Daichi.'
Hiruzen turned around and was about to leave but then he saw Kensei standing near the other parents. 'Should I go talk to him?' Kensei noticed the Hokage's gaze. A slight frown formed on Kensei's face and he left. Hiruzen let out a sigh and left the academy as well. 'Another time and place I suppose.'
The moment Daichi stepped into the classroom several notifications popped up. He took a seat in the back corner of the class and looked over the blue boxes that popped up.

'Wow. I can use Mana. Is it different from chakra? That's a stupid question. I have no doubt it definitely is. That will come in handy. And the prodigy title will definitely help my speed of improvement.'
Closing the quest completion box Daichi opened his status page. 'Status'.

'Wow. Except wisdom and charisma all my stats are above 30. And my stat points are nearing 100.'
A frown formed on Daichi's face as he looked at the special stats. 'I have no idea how to unlock Dignity. But as for Luck I've tried gambling with the old timer a couple times but it didn't work. I even flipped a coin trying to predict the outcome… or anything really but… That was a bust…'
'And as for the other two… I have an idea as to how to awaken Indomitable stat. But it's not a solid theory and doing it would be dangerous so that's out for now. And I have a few theories on how to awaken it but not sure which path to take. '
Daichi let out a small tired sigh. He decided he would tackle the locked stat problem at a later date.
'Time to see how far my skills have improved.'

Daichi looked over his skills and assessed their improvements one by one.
'My Observe skill hasn't made much progress. Makes sense since I was cooped up in that house most of the time. Need to work on that and raise its level. And Meditation skill is around where I expected it to be.'
'As for the Basic body conditioning, it's slow but improving steadily. Thanks to the training and stat increase, the damage reduction buff has increased a lot. But my spars with Kensei showed that there are certain limitations. The effects of the damage reduction buff significantly decreases the higher level my opponents are. And attacks and wounds from sharp weapons can bypass the buff by a certain margin. Not sure by how much. So I need to figure that out as well…. Let's see… What else?'

'It's been a while since I checked all my skills. Everything's gone up significantly…
'The one with the highest level is the leaf concentration technique. As expected. I've been practicing that skill every chance I got during the last year. Even during physical training and meditation. Using leaves on my forehead and fingers and even going as far as spinning them in different directions. Right now chakra control is my strongest point.'
'Let's see. What else...Hmm....So to use mana affinity I need 50 in INT and 30 in WIS huh. I'm not gonna spend points. At least not now. I'll wait until the end of this year. If my stats haven't reached 50 and 30 by that time, then I'll consider adding points to them.'
As Daichi closed the skill list page a new quest box appeared.
[Quest Created - 'Path to the strongest.']

[Accept (Y/N)]
'So this is the quest 'path to the strongest'. The first part of this quest looks like a Saitama style workout. It's a bit time consuming to do it everyday but it's doable. And completing at least one dungeon a year. So during my time here in the academy I might need to complete at least 5 or 6 dungeons.'
'And based on this I need to complete one this year. Gotta search the village for more dungeons. Maybe I'll find an easy one. And taking the top spot in the class… I already planned on that. Still the rewards are generous. 3 stat points weekly for 6 years… that's a whole lot of points.'
Daichi had a small grin on his face as he thought about how strong he'd become. As he kept reading his heart skipped a beat as he looked at the failure part of the quest. Taking a deep breath he calmed down and accepted the quest.
Daichi closed the last of the notification boxes and then started looking around.
Most of the kids were chatting with one other. As he looked around he finally saw the kids who would one day be known as the rookie 9.
He saw Hinata nervously twiddling her fingers and Sakura quietly looking around. Daichi then spotted Kiba but he didn't have his dog Akamaru with him.
'Strange… His partner Akamaru isn't with him.' That's when he remembered something. 'Right! Kiba gets Akamaru during his time in the academy.'
Daichi kept looking around and saw Shikamaru and Choji together at the back and Shino at the front bench of the room. Ino was hanging around with a bunch of other girls and they seemed to be having fun.
Daichi was excited looking around but he didn't show it on his face. And when he looked to the side of the room he finally saw him.
'Naruto Uzumaki. Wow. It's him… It's really him… But he seems so different. He's quiet. So subdued. I expected him to have that stupid grin on his face shouting about becoming number one or trying to prank someone or something but this kid is sitting obediently not making any trouble… Strange… Oh God! Please tell me I'm not in some alternate universe where he has Sasuke's emo attitude.'
Daichi quickly used 'observe' on him.
[LV.6] [Naruto Uzumaki]
Age: 5
HP: 2780. CP: 3803
[Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the late fourth hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki. He is the current host of the nine tails. His status as a jinchuriki caused him to be shunned by most of the leaf-citizens. He is an orphan who longs for a family. He joined the academy to be a ninja and to make friends. He has a positive and friendly attitude despite his harsh circumstances.]
'Oh Thank God. He's probably just trying to be on his best behavior to make friends… Too bad it won't help the poor kid. Looking at his stats, his level is below me but his health and chakra are way above mine. Must be because of the nine tails and the Uzumaki lineage.'
Daichi looked around and his eyes found Sasuke sitting near the window.
'Observe'
[LV.10] [Sasuke Uchiha]
Age: 5
HP: 1307 CP: 1189
[Sasuke Uchiha is the son of the Uchiha clan head Fugaku and his wife Mikoto. He is the youngest of two children. He is a happy child eager to please and be worthy of his clan name. He adores his older brother Itachi. He plans on becoming the first in the class to impress his father. Sasuke Uchiha has a vast amount of hidden potential and talent. ]
'So right now I'm stronger than him. Gotta keep it that way. But that's not going to be easy knowing his attitude.'
At that moment the classroom door opened and a large man with brown hair and goatee walked in. He walked to the center of the room and looked at everyone.
'For a moment I thought it would be Iruka.' Daichi immediately used 'Observe'
[??][Daikoku Funeno]
???
'Can't see his level or other information. Seems he's above level 59.'
"Hello students. My name is Daikoku Funeno. I'm your homeroom teacher. From now on you are to address me as Daikoku sensei. Welcome to the academy. Now I'm sure that at least some of you may have been taught how to use chakra and some Ninjutsu at home but here at the academy you'll learn how to use chakra and its applications in depth."
"You'll also learn other basic subjects and train to coordinate and work together as a team. You'll be given individual and group assignments. You'll learn the fundamentals. They're important so learn them well. The jutsus and techniques you will learn at the academy should not be used on others outside of supervised sparring. If any of you are caught breaking the rule you will face severe punishments."
"And with that we'll begin our first year. Why don't you all introduce yourselves to the class. Each of you will stand when it's your turn and tell us your name and your dreams and hobbies. Let's start from the back."
Daichi realized he was first as his sensei was looking at him. Daichi took a deep breath and let it out. He stood up and spoke.
"Hello everyone. My name is Daichi Hekima. I like training, painting and cooking. My goal is to become the strongest."
Daichi sounded neither arrogant nor silly when he spoke. He was calm and had a serious face. Some of the students had a mocking expression when they heard his goal but didn't say anything.
The teacher just smiled. "Alright. Next." The introduction went on with each student introducing themselves and telling their hobbies and dreams. Daichi listened to all of them and noted the names and faces of everyone in his class.
He paid special attention to the future rookie 9. Sasuke, spurred on by his competitive side, declared he would take the top spot of the class and one day become the head of his clan. Naruto exuberantly introduced himself and declared his goal to become Hokage.
After everyone was done Daikoku spoke. "Now that the introductions are done I'll hand out the curriculum for this year. The text books for the year will be provided in the next class."
Daichi looked over the curriculum that the instructor just handed out. It was composed of reading and writing, mathematics, science, geography, history, chakra theory and physical training. A total of 7 subjects. Even though he learned quite a bit from Kensei's library he was looking forward to what the academy could teach him.
'A Monday to Friday schedule with 5 different subjects taught a day. Hmm. Physical training is on everyday… I see… So they're focusing on chakra theory now and building up physical energy of the body. A stronger body can produce more chakra. And with a better understanding of how to use chakra and jutsu it'll become easier to teach Ninjutsu next year.'
With that the class began. The first class was on reading and writing. Since the batch was made of civilian students and orphans along with clan children it was easier to start with such a simple subject. The teachers could also assess the language and written capabilities of each student and individually help them.
Daichi looked around and had a small smile on his face. 'I might actually enjoy being in school for once.'

章節 25: Chapter 25 - Academy Dungeon, Race and Bullies
Half a day passed and recess came. Daichi went outside to eat the bento his grandpa made him. He sat under a tree in the corner and quietly ate. After a short while he finished eating. As he was sitting there Daichi looked at the academy building. Even after a year it was still unbelievable to him that he was here.
'Observe'
[Academy]
[Shortly after the founding of the village the shinobi academy was created. During the second Hokage's period due to a shortage of military manpower Tobirama Senju founded a ninja training camp at the base of the cliff. Although it was purely educational at first it quickly merged with military and domestic facilities and the existing shinobi academy and began to be called the academy. During the third Hokage's reign he revised and perfected the education curriculum and training system which are now carried out under strict standards. The motto of the academy teachers is " Development to shinobi with respect to individuality."]
A new notification box appeared after Daichi closed the 'observe' page.
[You have found a Location Dungeon. Do you wish to view the information on the dungeon?]
'Well isn't that interesting.' He became excited to check out the new dungeon.
'Yes. Show me the information.'
[You have found a Location dungeon.]
[Location dungeon: Player will have to go to the dungeon specific locations to access them. These are long term dungeons with strong and weak opponents. Once the dungeon is activated it will remain active for 1 year before disappearing. Players can enter and exit the dungeon anytime during the active period.
Exiting the dungeon is impossible when in enemy sight. Players can stay inside the dungeon for up to 24 hours(Dungeon time), at a time. Once exited, the dungeon will have a cooldown of 3 hours in real world time. Real world time and Dungeon time is - 01: 06 ratio. Whatever happens in the dungeon will not affect the real world.]
[You have found the Academy dungeon. Would you like to activate this dungeon?]
[Y/N]
After reading through the details Daichi immediately pressed no. 'This dungeon would definitely have opponents from students to chunin teachers. I'd rather activate this after 3 or 4 years. That way I'll be confident enough to clear it. Since they only stay open for a year, if I open it now I'll only be wasting a precious opportunity. Need to find other locations with value. They most probably have a dungeon hidden in them.'
Daichi got up and went back to the classroom. Time passed by and the last class was physical training. The instructor brought the students outside and showed them simple stretching exercises. Once everyone was limbered up the instructor called everyone's attention.
"Alright, now we're going to see where you stand in terms of physical strength and speed. We're going to have a race. I'll be dividing you all into groups of 6. You'll be running 8 laps on this training course.
Each lap is 250 meters. So that's 2 kilometers total. Even though this is just a simple race, try to do your best. Boys and girls will be separate. When I call out the names come to the front.
1st group. Kiba Inuzuka, Daichi Hekima, Choji Akimichi, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Hibachi."

Quickly Daichi got to the front and accepted the quest. 'This group is full of kids who are physically fit in the class. So that means the teachers must have used the data from when we were registering to select this group to make things even. So they'll be doing it to the rest as well.'
[Due to logically deducing new information from very little, you have obtained +1 WIS]
Suddenly Daichi heard a boastful shout from his side. "I'm gonna blow you all away. I'll be first." Kiba was looking at Daichi and Sasuke when he said this.
"No way I'll be first." Naruto joined in. "I'm gonna try my best and I'm gonna win." He shouted with a smile.
"Keep dreaming. I got this in the bag." Hibachi said in a smug tone.
Daichi looked at everyone in the group and smiled. "Good luck. You all are gonna need it." He then stepped up to the starting line as did everyone else.
The instructor blew the whistle signaling the start of the race. The moment Daichi heard the whistle he took off like a bolt of lightning. He had been running around his compound almost everyday for the last year. As a result his stats were much higher than that of his peers.
Daichi was keeping a steady but fast pace. He completed the first lap before the others were even half way. Sasuke and Kiba pushed themselves harder to catch up with Daichi but they couldn't. Sasuke was behind Daichi followed by Kiba and then Hibachi and Choji and finally Naruto.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and pushed harder. 'Can't lose.'
Daichi passed them completing his second lap by the time they completed their first. He wasn't feeling winded at all. But unlike Daichi, everyone else was starting to feel the strain. They started too fast and were beginning to get tired.
Daichi didn't stop for anything and in 1 minute and 59 seconds he completed the 2 km run and slowed down and jogged back to his teacher.

[Rep increases with everyone but Sasuke and Hibachi.]
"Sensei. I'm done."
"Yes. Well done." Daikoku was impressed. He rarely met children with such physique. Especially at the start of the academy. 'His speed is pure physical strength. If I couldn't sense chakra I would have thought he was using chakra flow to increase his speed.'
"Wow Daichi. That was so cool." Some of the girls exclaimed. Some of the boys surrounded him to know the secret of his win. Daichi just smiled and said nothing. After a short while everyone else finished the race with Sasuke coming in second 5 minutes 13 seconds and Naruto coming last in 8 minutes.
Sasuke had a frown on his face as he looked at Daichi. 'I can't believe I lost to someone in my class.' He lightly fumed thinking about his loss. 'Next time… I'll definitely beat you.' He quietly kept walking and stood alone in a corner.
Hibachi slightly glared at Daichi but didn't say anything as well and went back to his friends.
Naruto, Kiba, Choji on the other hand approached him.
"Oh man. That was awesome. Where did you learn to run like that?" Kiba asked with a panting breath.
"Yeah. You were so fast." Naruto had a giant smile even though he lost.
"Did you eat something special during lunch?" Choji also chimed.
"I just trained you guys. Nothing all that special. I've been training last year. Just ran around my house and did a couple of exercises… That's all." Daichi said, laughing slightly.
The instructor formed several groups and had them complete the exercise. A little over an hour had passed, and by that time everyone was done with the race. Daikoku after several minutes announced the 1st place to Daichi, 2nd for Sasuke and 3rd to Kiba. Naruto was somewhere in the middle of the class.
Soon the classes for the day were completed and everyone went home. Some kids invited Daichi to play with them but he politely declined. Daichi quickly reached home and found his grandfather waiting on the front porch smoking a pipe.
"So how was your first day.?" Kensei asked.
"It was interesting. Contrary to what I thought, I found the whole experience enjoyable. I look forward to it." Daichi replied. Since he had been training for a year and had some access to Kensei's library he thought he wouldn't find anything useful in the academy and would be bored but he was wrong.
When he was in the classroom he wanted to make a handful of genuine friends and enjoy his time in the academy. Something he couldn't do in his previous life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The days passed by with Daichi excelling at every subject in the academy. Sasuke, refusing to be second, started competing with Daichi in everything. But not once did he speak a single word to Daichi.
The first month focused mainly on exercises that increase one's strength and cardio. The academy began teaching Taijutsu lessons and how to safely handle weapons like kunai and shuriken starting the second month. Daikoku sensei showed the proper ways to maintain, handle and use the different types of weapons.
Each student was taught the various stances of Taijutsu style and the purpose behind them. The instructors explained how each stance could utilize the stability and strength and how to effectively put it into an attack.
The children from the clan and a couple of kids like Daichi who had a shinobi family were already ahead of the rest. Daichi scored first in all the tests and class assignments and was ranked number 1 in class. He was followed by Sasuke.
By the end of the second month Daichi noticed something peculiar. His classmates started to pick on Naruto. Daichi realized that they were slowly copying the behavior of the adults without even knowing the reason for it.
Aside from Daichi, Choji and sometimes Kiba no one else interacted with him. Even the teachers. Although they taught him, they kept their interactions with Naruto to a minimum. This was starting to have an effect on Naruto.
Contrary to what Daichi thought, Naruto didn't start pranking anyone to get some attention. As the days passed Daichi saw Naruto get more sad and angry. Daichi sometimes caught Naruto looking at the Hokage mountain with a serious expression.
Daichi noticed the change in behavior but he didn't feel like trying to change Naruto. He knew getting involved would create trouble for him so he justified his inaction with this thought.
'Sooner or later he'll be the prankster who'll one day paint the Hokage mountain. And a Naruto who's not a prankster is not a Naruto at all.'
Daichi still helped Naruto when he asked for it but it wasn't that much.
One day during his third month a couple of upperclassmen cornered Daichi in the back of the academy. They were the local bullies.
"Look what we have here Zakro. A pipsqueak who thinks he's the best." Bikan said. He was in the 4th year of the academy and occasionally bullied his underclassmen. He was accompanied by his friend Zakro.
Daichi was thinking about the hand seals and how they interacted and helped with the movement of chakra throughout the body. And when the 2 bullies cornered him he lost his train of thought and this irritated him.
Daichi had an annoyed look on his face. "What do you want?" He didn't even bother using the 'observe' skill on them.
"Did you hear that Zakro? This kid has an attitude. You freshmen think you're so tough." Bikan squeezed his fists and popped his knuckles trying to look intimidating.
"Bikan. Why don't we properly welcome him to the academy." Zakro copied his friend and tried to scare Daichi.
"If you kneel down and apologize I'll forgive you." Bikan said, smirking.

Daichi's patience was wearing thin. "Get lost." He said in a gruff voice accepting the quest.
Bikan, angry that a first year student was talking to him like that, attacked him. He threw a punch straight at Daichi's face thinking he wouldn't be able to dodge or block it. Daichi, watching the slow, pitifully telegraphed punch coming his way, sighed. Daichi stepped to the side and evaded the strike and used his right arm to grab and hold Bikan's fist.
Even though Daichi was small his strength far exceeded someone his age. Bikan tried to pull his right arm back but he couldn't move it an inch. Zakro, wanting to help his friend, attacked Daichi. He kicked at him trying to get Daichi off balance.
Daichi deflected the kick with his leg and sent a front kick straight to Zakro's abdomen. Daichi made sure to control his strength and not injure the kid. The kick didn't do much damage but it sent him flying backwards several feet. He landed roughly on the floor and was coughing. That kick took away his breath.
Daichi suddenly twisted his arm and shoulder flipped Bikan onto the ground. When Bikan tried to get up, Daichi twisted the shoulder till it became too painful for the older boy. He was face down on the ground and was crying in pain as Daichi stood above him and held his arm.
Daichi put his left leg above Bikan's shoulder joint and said. "Did you know that if I press here and pull, I could dislocate your shoulder?" Daichi slightly moved his feet into a new spot. "But if I press here and pull with a little twist it would definitely break your shoulder. That would be quite painful, wouldn't you agree?"
"Please, I'm sorry. Please. Lemme go."
"Why should I let you go? You could come back with a few more friends and try to ambush me again. So isn't it best I just put you down now?" The steely tone of Daichi's voice scared the upperclassmen. But before he could say anything Daichi spoke.
"Don't try this again. Don't ever come in front of me. If you do…" Daichi put some pressure on his foot and slightly pulled on the arm. Just enough to prove his point.
"Ahhh. Please I won't, I swear." Squealing in pain, Bikan answered.
"And if I find out you went after any of my classmates… I'll pay you a visit you won't like. Do you understand?"
"Yes. Yes. Please let me go." Frantically nodding, Bikan pleaded.
Daichi released his arm and stepped back. "Get lost. And take your friend with you."
Bikan, scared out of his wits, rushed to Zakro, picked him up and left.

Now Daichi was all alone in the backyard. Or so it would appear. Daichi left without realizing that there was someone else who witnessed everything.
Someone who stumbled upon the whole thing when he was looking for a quiet place to take a nap. Someone in his class.
'That Daichi. What a troublesome guy.'
