章節 49: Chapter 49 - Battles in the 2nd Dungeon 02
Days passed with Daichi fighting enemies from several clans. His strength, speed and skills have all improved. Both his primary and special stats gained several points through the many fights he encountered. He gained another 2 levels and after fighting members of different clans he had an understanding of how they would attack and gained knowledge on their fighting style. Currently Daichi was engaged in hand to hand combat against an ordinary ninja. One not made based on any clans' genins.
[LV.35][Ordinary Nin]
HP: 3905 CP: 3000
[A ninja created based on a Genin who survived the Akagahara exam grounds. Although this enemy only knows the three basic Ninjutsu (clone, substitution and transformation) he is proficient in Shurikenjutsu and Taijutsu. He prefers to attack his enemies head-on instead of ambushing them. This enemy intends to kill you.]
Daichi blocked an incoming kick with his leg and sent a fast jab to the enemy ninja's throat. The ninja leaned back and grabbed Daichi's outstretched hand. Daichi realized that the genin was intending to break his arm. He quickly reinforced his hands and legs with chakra and swiftly sent a knee to the genin's chest.
The strength of the attack forced the dungeon ninja to loosen his grip on Daichi's arm. The moment the hold on his hand loosened, Daichi pulled his arm out of his enemy's grasp. With his hand now free, Daichi jumped back and threw several shuriken towards his opponent.
His enemy deflected all of them and aimed several of his own at Daichi. Daichi jumped right and evaded the projectiles. He failed to notice that one of the kunai cut a string on the tree behind him. Daichi heard the sound of several weapons being launched and immediately used substitution jutsu.
'He was trying to lure me into a trap. His taijutsu skills and shurikenjutsu are incredible. I haven't been able to seriously damage him even after fighting for 10 minutes. One of the reasons is my height. Since I'm only about 8 years old he has an advantage over me physically. He has longer limbs and thus a greater reach. Something I can only rectify with time. I need a way to take him down…This guy is like another version of Lee. The only reason I could withstand the blows was because of the damage reduction skills. But even that has its limitations.'
As Daichi was thinking of a plan to take his opponent down the ninja made his move. Creating 4 ordinary clones, the ninja rushed at Daichi trying to confuse him.
Daichi slightly smirked at the weak tactic. 'That's not going to work on me.'
He enhanced his nose and ears with chakra and found the real one amongst the afterimage clones. They resumed their fight. Daichi concentrated on the real ninja and wasn't distracted by the illusions. He ducked under a punch and tried to sweep his enemy's legs. The ninja jumped back, escaping the leg sweep.
Daichi quickly went through hand seals. "Lightning style - Overdrive." Daichi was getting used to this jutsu as he kept using it often during this dungeon raid. He bolted towards the genin and threw a strong fist which got through the enemy's guard.
[-98 HP Enemy hit.]
The genin skidded back while Daichi ran after him. The Genin took several shuriken and threw them at the small boy. Daichi veered through the ninja stars and reached his target. Both of them resumed their battle with neither giving the other an edge.
'Even though my enemies had higher levels I managed to win against all of them. But now I see that it was due to my speed. I was able to use speed and get through their defenses and take them down… But… In a pure Taijutsu battle, against a fighter with the same speed as me I'm only able to defend myself and barely keep him from landing any fatal injuries.'
[Skill Physical Endurance's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Leaf Academy Taijutsu's level has risen by one.]
'Well… At least for now anyway.'
Daichi weaved through the strikes aimed at his head and landed several blows on the enemy's body. Due to Daichi's speed he was able to land most of his attacks. The genin sent a fast kick which Daichi blocked. He then grabbed hold of the outstretched leg and used all his strength to pull the ninja off the ground. The dungeon ninja tried to attack Daichi with the other leg while he was in the air but he was unable to land a hit.
Daichi used both hands and smashed the ninja into the ground, hard. And before the enemy could get his bearings Daichi pulled him up using his leg and smashed him into the ground again. He repeated it a couple more times before he was forced to let go.
'I've always wanted to go all 'Hulk' like that.' Daichi chuckled to himself.
Both Daichi and the nin had a little over half their HP. 'It would come down to the last one standing. I could use the daggers and it would activate the Dual Wielding Mastery skill. That would be the smart choice as it will increase my attack speed and damage dealt but… This guy is perfect for improving my Taijutsu skill level.'
Deciding to fight without using his weapon, Daichi sprinted towards the ninja. Both of them dodged and landed powerful strikes on their foe. Daichi tilted his head and escaped a hit to the face and retaliated with a blow to the torso. The ninja struck Daichi's leg locking him in place and landed several jabs on his small body. Daichi blocked and parried the attacks.
[Skill Leaf Academy Taijutsu's level has risen by one.]
Both of them continued to fight with their health slowly falling. It wasn't long before the winner was decided.
[Skill Leaf Academy Taijutsu's level has risen by one.]
With the increase in his taijutsu skill several times over the fight Daichi slowly gained the upper hand. His movements became refined and his speed increased. It wasn't long before he finished the ninja.
[Enemy killed.]
+1300 Exp.
+195 Exp.
[You have leveled up.]
[Enemies killed: 65/168]
'To think this guy was strong enough to reduce my Health points to less than 500.' Daichi sighed.
It was getting late. Daichi went to a nearby cave he found during his exploration of the dungeon. He started using it as his base. He laid several booby-traps and alarms to make sure he would know if anyone came close.
Once Daichi made sure to cover the entrance he took the small bed from his inventory and sat on it. He ate some food and quickly went to sleep.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daichi was currently unleashing several small fireball jutsus to reduce a Kikaichu swarm that had surrounded him. Before the insects could entrap him, Daichi used Body Flicker and gained some distance.
'I can't believe I got ambushed again… Let's see what these guys are made of.'
'Observe'
[LV.35][Spirit Nin]
HP: 3603 CP: 3222
[A ninja created based on a Genin of the Yamanaka clan who survived the Akagahara exam grounds. This enemy can utilize secret clan jutsus and is exceptional in Genjutsu and medical Ninjutsu. Designated as the healer of the team and is a skilled sensor capable of finding enemies from a great distance. This ninja's physical strength is weak. Prefers to work in a team. This enemy intends to kill you.]
'It seems she's the one who found me. And the Genjutsu trying to trap me must be her work. Too bad I'm immune to that. It's a good thing my body dispels foreign chakras before it can affect anything.'
[LV.37][Insect Nin]
HP: 4008 CP: 3650
[A ninja created based on a Genin of the Aburame clan who survived the Akagahara exam grounds. This ninja houses the Kikaichū beetles in his body. These beetles are capable of consuming chakra at a fast rate. This ninja is immune to Genjutsu due to the Kikaichū living inside him. Fire attacks with intense heat can damage or kill the beetles. This enemy prefers to work in a small team for maximum efficiency. He intends to kill you.]
'Looks like an ordinary Aburame genin. But I should be careful. I need to keep track of any bugs on me as well. They can track me like that.' Daichi used Observe on the last ninja.
[LV.38][Hunter Nin]
HP: 4230 CP: 3701
[A ninja created based on a Genin who survived the Akagahara exam grounds. This ninja is talented in detecting traps and setting them up to capture enemies. He is capable in hand to hand combat and skilled in using a sword. Prefers to work in a team. This enemy intends to kill you.]
'That hunter nin is the one with the highest level and the one who engages me in Taijutsu fighting. All the while the other two provide support or try to distract me.'
[Mental intrusion detected….]
[Unyielding spirit has neutralized the foreign attack.]
'If I try to go after the Yamanaka ninja then the other two intervene. And I can't hide and ambush them because her sensory skills would tell them where I am at all times.'
Daichi stared down his enemies as he thought of a viable plan. 'The Yamanaka isn't a problem. But if I want to defeat the hunter nin then I can't get caught in any surprise attacks from the Aburame. His chakra-draining insects would be a huge pain if I leave him be. So he's the one I need to deal with first.'
'Shadow clone jutsu.' Daichi created 3 solid clones and had them keep the hunter nin busy. Daichi quickly engaged the insect ninja in hand to hand combat. The Aburame released a large amount of bugs to swarm and drain Daichi's chakra but a large Fireball killed most of them.
Daichi released chakra strings from his left hand and tried to immobilize his opponent. But the Kikaichū bugs quickly came out of the insect ninja's body and began to feed on the chakra strings.
"Shit. These things can feed on raw chakra." Daichi quickly canceled his chakra threads. He took out two daggers from his inventory and blitzed his enemy.
Daichi has been focused on his speed and the Body Flicker jutsu ever since he learned it. It gave him a great advantage over his foes and also allowed him to deal maximum damages quickly. As Daichi cut apart the insect ninja it quickly burst into a swarm of Kikaichū beetles.
'He substituted himself with a bug clone.' Daichi quickly spotted the Aburame rip-off behind a tree being healed by the spirit nin. Daichi watched as the health points of the insect ninja slowly increase.
"Damn it! Can't let him heal."
Daichi swiftly reached them and slashed down. The insect ninja dodged but the spirit ninja was slow to evade. Daichi pierced her body with both daggers and pinned her to a nearby tree. At that moment one of the shadow clones engaging the hunter nin was dispelled.
"Shit. They won't be able to hold him for much longer."
[Mental intrusion detected….]
[Unyielding spirit has neutralized the foreign attack.]
'Genjutsu won't work on me.' As Daichi was about to attack the spirit nin, he sensed slight movement from beneath the earth. Trusting his instincts he jumped back and just in the nick of time. Several large black spears appeared out of the ground as if to impale Daichi. Taking a closer look at the spears, Daichi noticed something.
'Its Kikaichū insects. This guy can use his insects to burrow underground and attack from below.'
Daichi dodged the several shuriken coming his way and threw a few of his own with ninja wire attached. He used his chakra threads to control the path of the flying shuriken and used it to tangle the insect ninja with the wires and he was partially successful. He immediately took several paper bombs. Activating them with a 3 second countdown, Daichi threw the bombs at the insect ninja. The Kikaichū bugs quickly turned around and rushed to protect its host but that was what Daichi wanted.
'I'm gonna reduce those insects faster than you can make them. But first I'm gonna finish the healer of your group.'
"BOOM"... "BOOM"... "BOOM"
Explosions surrounded the Aburame nin as Daichi resumed his assaults on the spirit nin. His hands were like a blur as they slashed and hacked the pinned dungeon ninja. Within several seconds the spirit nin was defeated and Daichi gained enough experience points to reach the next level.
[Enemy killed.]
+1100 Exp.
+165 Exp.
[Enemies killed: 87/168]
[You have leveled up.]
He didn't get the chance to even check his stats as he received memories of his two dispelled clones. Daichi's eyes widened as he felt a fast moving chakra approaching him from behind.
"Oh crap-baskets."
Before he could escape, a powerful blow struck his back sending him flying into the air.
[-154 HP]
"Ghaa…." Daichi spit out a wad of blood as he flew up. His concentration slipped and he couldn't keep up his chakra sense. Daichi lost track of the enemy. The next instant a punch landed on his face, rocketing him back into the ground.
[-200 HP]
"Boom". [-77 HP]
The ground cracked as Daichi slammed into the dirt and stone, hard. He bounced up a few feet in the air due to the force of the impact and the next second the hunter nin was right beside Daichi. He landed a hard kick to Daichi's side.
[-94 HP]
Daichi skidded and tumbled across the ground for a several meters and came to a stop as his back slammed into a tree.
[-60 HP]
"Ahhhh…" Tears came out of Daichi's eyes due to the pain and force of the impacts. He coughed a few times and his vision felt blurry for a couple seconds. Daichi slightly shook his head and tried to get up but unfortunately stumbled and fell to his knees. What Daichi saw when he looked ahead, frightened him .
The hunter nin looked at Daichi with the same cold, emotionless dead eyes as before. None of the ninjas Daichi faced in the dungeon expressed emotions. But the look this ninja gave him scared Daichi.
'Monster.'
His hands trembled and his heart beat loudly as he looked at the dead eyed nin. Daichi watched in horror as the enemy ninja swiftly take a few paper bombs and hurl them at him.
Daichi quickly molded his chakra and went through 3 hand seals.
'Earth style - Rock Shelter Jutsu.'
The paper bombs reached the defense dome just as it formed around the small boy. It hit the earth structure and violently exploded.

章節 50: Chapter 50 - Battles in the 2nd Dungeon 03
"BOOM"
The explosion rocked the forest sending nearby trees and rocks flying. Dust filled the air and it took a minute for everything to become visible.
The Hunter nin kicked Daichi away from the restrained insect ninja before he threw the paper bombs. And he leapt back and created some distance as soon as he launched the attack on Daichi. So neither of the dungeon ninjas were affected by the blast other than the dust and winds blowing in their faces.
Once the dust cleared they got to work. While the insect nin was trying to free himself from the ninja wire, the hunter nin got close to where Daichi was. The earth dome Daichi created was completely destroyed and there was a large crater where the explosion took place. The hunter nin looked around and didn't see a shred of his opponent's body.
As he looked around the rubble for any signs of his enemy, he suddenly heard the sound of blades piercing a body. He turned around and saw two daggers coming out of the insects ninja's chest. Stabbed all the way from behind by a panting Daichi.
The hunter nin looked at Daichi with indifference. At that moment his instincts warned him and he jumped backwards. Two hands burst out of the ground just as he jumped trying to trap him or at least that's what it looked like. Just as he landed on the ground several fireballs erupted out of the earth and struck him.
[-268 HP Enemy hit.]
A second shadow clone of Daichi's came out of the ground and together with the first one started fighting the Hunter ninja.
Meanwhile the real Daichi kicked the Aburame ninja into the ground and went through several hand-seals quickly. He was going to use the new fire jutsu he recently learned from Kensei's library. His mind recalled the information on the jutsu as he weaved the 5 seals.
[Fire Style - Dragon Fire Jutsu - Active(LV.3): The user kneads chakra and converts it to fire and expels it as a continuous stream of flames. The user can also breathe fire along a cord or ninja wire and use it to attack the enemy. The released flames, if strong enough, will engulf and vaporize the target and leave a smoldering crater on the ground's surface.]
[Rank: C]
[Type: Ninjutsu]
[Hand Seals: Snake - Dragon - Rabbit - Boar - Tiger]
[CP Cost: 285 Per shot.]
[Note: The range, power and duration of the attack can be altered by controlling the chakra kneaded into the attack. Overusing this jutsu without experience can cause burns inside the throat and mouth.]
'Fire style - Dragon Fire jutsu.'
Despite its name, when Daichi breathed fire it didn't have a dragon head. But it was fast and reached the insect ninja in a second. The flames covered his entire body and the Kikaichū bugs tried to shield its host. Daichi increased the chakra and thus the power of the flames. But he was careful not to overdo it. The HP of the burning ninja was falling fast. Daichi kept up the attack without showing any mercy. As he breathed fire onto his enemy, he thought back to a few minutes ago.
Flashback - A few Minutes ago
Daichi looked on as the hunter nin took the paper bombs from his holster and tied them to the kunais. At that moment his brain worked faster than ever before. His neurons, firing at lightning speed. To Daichi it was as if the world had slowed down.
'His shuriken jutsu is perfect. It'll definitely hit me. And even if I somehow jump and escape the blast radius he would just capitalize on my weakened state and attack me. And the moment that Aburame ninja gets free it's gamer over for me.'
Daichi saw the nin tying the last paper bomb and finished attaching them to the kunais. He was getting ready to throw them.
'I have to escape. And then take them by surprise. That's the only way I'll survive.'
Daichi had a plan in mind and made his choice. He molded his chakra as fast as he could and used the defense jutsu. Not just to try and shield him from the blast but also to block him from their view.
'Earth style - Rock Shelter Jutsu.'
Daichi saw the ninja launch the kunais at him. Everything was happening at slow-motion for him. Daichi calculated the time it would take for the weapons to reach him in an instant.
'Oh no! They are going to reach here before I can escape. Have to slow them down.'
Daichi used telekinesis on the three kunais and slowed them down by three seconds. His telekinetic powers weren't strong enough to shift their path completely or stop them but was only strong enough to slow them down by a small margin.
As the rock dome formed around him, Daichi quickly went through another series of hand-seals. He remembered the words his grandfather said to him.
Kensei handed Daichi a scroll and told him about the technique. "This jutsu will come in handy when you want to make a quick escape without most people noticing. Now… It has its weaknesses. People from the Hyuga clan, a good earth specialist nin or a sensor nin will be able to find you. But if you train this enough, you'll be able to use it to your advantage even against people like them…"
'Earth style - Earth Burrow Jutsu.' Daichi slammed his hands down and softened the terrain below him.
[Earth Style - Earth Burrow Jutsu - Active(LV.2): This jutsu allows the user to travel through the earth undetected by most ninja. The chakra kneaded in the body is spread into the ground and softens the earth around the jutsu caster. The user sinks and disappears underground while the earth hardens on the surface. This jutsu allows the user to create a small tunnel by compressing and softening the earth around the person and helps the user move underground in any direction. Once the chakra dissipates the tunnel collapses on itself. ]
[Rank: C.]
[Type: Ninjutsu]
[Hand Seals: Snake - Boar - Bird - Ram.]
[CP Cost: 175 Per Use.]
[Note: The movement speed of the user and creation speed of the tunnel will depend on the chakra supplied and the proficiency in earth nature of the user.]
Daichi sank deep into the ground and disappeared just as the explosion took place.
'Don't have much time. I have to take a decisive course of action now.'
Daichi quickly thought of his next move and an idea formed in his mind. 'I'll use shadow clones and distract the hunter nin while I take down the Aburame. Then I'll deal with that troublesome fucker one on one.'
Daichi used his chakra sense and approximated their location and created two shadow clones. He swiftly went to where the insect ninja was and quietly rose out of the ground. He kept an eye on the hunter nin as well. Seeing that the two were distracted, Daichi struck.
Taking two daggers from his inventory he rushed and stabbed the insect nin through the back. He buried his weapons all the way to the hilt. Due to the mounting exhaustion Daichi was breathing hard. But he still kept going. Taking the blades out and putting them back into his inventory he quickly kicked and slammed the insect nin into the ground. He waved signs and started his vicious fire attack.
Flashback - End
Daichi watched with a satisfactory smirk as the last health point of the insect ninja disappeared.
[Enemy killed.]
[+1350 Exp.]
[+202.5 Exp.]
[Enemies killed: 88/168]
His shadow clones were keeping the hunter nin busy and were trying hard not to get themselves dispelled. They had to buy some time for Daichi to kill the insect nin and recover some strength.
Daichi sat down a small distance away from the fight and tried to rest. He had to recover at least some stamina and strength if he was going to engage the strongest nin he found so far in the dungeon.
'I need a passive skill that recovers my stamina and chakra quicker. Hope I get something like that soon. Or else I'll have to start putting points into the stats.'
Daichi didn't close his eyes but he tried to calm himself and enter a meditative state. But it was unsuccessful. 'It seems the stress of the battle not too far from here is taking up my focus. It was a long shot anyways.'
A minute was all Daichi received as the first clone was dispersed. As he recalled the memories of the dispelled clone, he smiled.
[Skill Leaf Academy Taijutsu's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Chakra Thread's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Chakra Enhancement's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Lightning affinity's level has risen by one.]
'Looks like the skill level rises even if it's my clones who experience it. But I'm guessing it's mostly for Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu techniques. To level up Physical body skill, I need to personally fight huh.'
Daichi took several foods and bottles of water and quickly finished them. They restored his HP and CP to more than a third of his total.
'Then I suppose it's my turn.'
Just then his second clone was also dispelled and he received the memories.
[Skill Fire affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Earth affinity's level has risen by one.]
Daichi slowly walked forward. He could sense the ninja coming for him.
'Fighting stronger and stronger opponents is the only way to quickly gain strength and field experience.'
Despite the near death experience and fear he felt a few minutes ago Daichi was fired up. The ninja roused the fighting spirit within Daichi. The Hunter ninja quickly appeared in front of him.
Daichi was not scared this time. A wide crazed smile appeared on his face. Bloodlust, chakra and killing intent burst forth from him. The hunter nin also responded in kind. Both of them, looking to tear into each other.
The ground slightly cracked and they disappeared. The next instant they met in the middle of the field and clashed. Forearms met fists and palms blocking knees. Their speed was much greater than what an ordinary genin would be capable of.
Daichi attacked with all his might. Every punch contained his full force and his intent to kill. The hunter was fighting the same. He met Daichi punches head on or directly blocked them. Both the ninjas had had no intention of saving their stamina or holding back.
Daichi's senses sharpened several fold. The mad grin on his face never left as he battled the ninja. Daichi tilted his head and avoided what would have been a devastating blow to the face. He locked the outstretched arm of his enemy and quickly headbutted the nin and immediately followed it up with a strong hit to the gut.
The enemy ninja quickly recovered and tried to snap Daichi's knee with his leg. Daichi avoided the blow but had to let go of the trapped hand. The nin swiftly roundhouse kicked Daichi but the boy quickly raised his hands and blocked the kick with his arms. The force of the kick sent him skidding backwards several feet.
As Daichi slid back he saw several shuriken speeding his way with his enemy taking more from a storage paper on his wrist.
Daichi smirked at the tactic. 'You wanna compare shuriken jutsu with me? Fine… Have it your way.'
He stopped himself and took his weapons from the inventory and started his counter attack. Daichi aimed his shurikens to deflect and even counter attack back at the ninja.
Sparks flew in the air as black steel clashed. The force with which each of them threw their shuriken was so great that it destroyed both fighters' weapons when it came into contact. Destroyed shuriken flew everywhere as they threw dozens and dozens.
This clash only lasted for about 40 seconds but they both used over a hundred shurikens and not one landed on each other's bodies.
[Skill Shurikenjutsu's level has risen by one.]
'Whoever this guy is based off of, it has to be someone powerful. His shurikenjutsu is on the same level as mine.'
Notifications were popping up as Daichi fought the nin but he ignored it all.
'I can't afford to get distracted even for an instant.'
The hunter nin decided to switch tactics again and took out a sword. A standard katana used by swordsmen. Seeing this, Daichi smirked and took out his Tanto as well. It was not as long as the katana but Daichi didn't mind it.
Both of them held their swords and waited for the right movement. They both knew that if they were careless it would be the end for them. The ground around them was littered with broken shuriken. And on top of that if they weren't careful they would fall victim to the traps in and around the jungle.
This was a test of not only their sword skill and power but also of situational awareness. Daichi had his eyes firmly fixed on his enemy but he was aware of his predicament.
'We would have to battle at high speeds while maintaining absolute awareness of our surroundings. The first one to make even the slightest mistake would die. A situation like this would definitely push someone's mental fortitude to their absolute limits.'
Daichi gripped his tanto as he looked at the ninja. Sweat rolled down his face as both ninja sized each other up. Just then a tree branch snapped and fell. The sound was like an unspoken signal for them. In an instant they rushed towards each other and began their final bout.
