章節 61: Chapter 61 - 1st Special Stat Awakening
Kensei and Daichi were walking down the cobbled street. Their heads, still processing what had happened.
"That was a dangerous game you played." Kensei said lightly to Daichi.
Daichi looked at the old man from the corner of his eyes. Noticing the boy's look, Kensei elaborated.
"The Rasengan is a jutsu exclusive to the leaf village and even then only 2 people currently alive know it according to my knowledge. So you, asking for that technique…" Kensei trailed off and he let out a small sigh. "Still I guess everything worked out in the end."
Daichi knew what his grandfather had meant. 'It was a dangerous gamble. But I've won. Still… He's right. I need to keep my head down and not cause any more wild waves. Now that the Hokage knows I'm much more than ordinary he'll definitely keep an eye on me. And then Danzo won't be far behind either.'
"I understand your point gramps. But this would help me with my training. So I had to take a shot." Daichi replied in a small voice.
Kensei merely grunted in response. They went to a nearby store and bought enough balloons and rubber balls for the training and made their way home. As they were nearing their home Kensei thought about the offer the Hokage made at the end.
'Hiruzen knows I'm displeased with some of the elements within the village and some of its philosophies. But he doesn't have a clear understanding… He knows I'm loyal to the village but he also knows that I'm against some of his policies. Still… He doesn't want to take any chances with Daichi. Seeing the boy's progress definitely startled Hiruzen. He doesn't want me to spread my ideals to the boy more than I already have… It's why he offered to give advanced chakra control as a reward… He wants to keep Daichi close and instill in him the loyalties he expects of a leaf ninja… Just like he did with Hotaru.'
Kensei's fists clenched as memories of what happened to his son came to his mind. A few seconds later his anger vanished and a small smile spread on his face. He discreetly looked at Daichi and his mind went to their first talk in Shi's restaurant.
'You're going to be in for a surprise Hiruzen. This kid won't let anyone lead him by the nose… And something tells me Daichi already saw through Hiruzen's recruitment attempt… I don't have to worry about him…'
Both of them reached their home and went to do their own things.
Daichi was in his room placing the balloon and rubber balls near his table. 'I'll start training the Rasengan once I'm done with my stamina stat increase.' He opened his status page and checked.
'Even with two weeks of training, none of my primary stats have increased since the dungeon run and my stamina stat has only gone up by 1. Now it's at 99. Just one more and I'm sure it'll awaken.'
It was noon that day and Daichi decided to spend the rest of the day training and increasing his stamina. 'Normal physical training isn't going to cut it. I need to go harder.'
Daichi created 4 shadow clones and had them go through each Ninjutsu one by one until they exhausted their stamina. The real Daichi was wearing weighted training clothes the system gave him and he got into a handstand and started doing push ups.
Daichi's plan was to completely exhaust his chakra and physical stamina. He was also going to train his telekinesis. In front of Daichi were several leaves. He was using his mana power to levitate them. And hold them in the air for as long as possible. As he trained his mind was trying to decipher what exactly Mana powers were.
'Mana powers are definitely not Yin chakra. In fact they have nothing to do with chakra. My tests have confirmed that much. Then what exactly is this?... The information the system gave says it's an energy produced from my mind. It specifically said an intelligent mind… Is that a clue?'
Daichi was doing his exercise and keeping the leaves in the air as he contemplated the workings of his powers. Daichi had studied the brain and its functions after he had received the Mana power. He recalled that information. And then something else came to his mind.
'As I understand, Mana isn't an ability exclusive to me. The invisibility cloak. Atamagai' cloak also uses Mana power. That means there's a possibility that its creator Atamagai used Mana or at least understood it. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to incorporate Mana power usage into the seal inscribed on the cloak. So what makes us special…'
Daichi thought about this question for a while and then the answer came. 'Intelligence. Could that be the answer I'm looking for?... I doubt that guy had the gamer ability but somehow he was able to use Mana. The system said Mana is an energy produced by an intelligent mind… that's the key.'
Sweat rolled down Daichi's face and body as he pushed himself upwards. The shadow clones using up chakra the same time he was completing physical exercise, increased the pressure on him. Even as he was getting tired a smile formed on his face.
'Brain Waves… That's the answer. Somehow my brain is able to produce energy that's able to interact with the world…. Just like radio waves, microwaves or electromagnetic waves… They all interact with the world. We may not be able to see them but they are there… And it seems Mana power is the same case. Some kind of energy or brain wave produced by my brain that interacts with the world… So that's why the system said Mind enhancing techniques would be much easier… Those types of techniques probably don't require much energy due to being used by my brain and they might be easier to learn than techniques like Telekinesis that interact with the world… '
Daichi's smile widened at the implications. 'Even if I get into a situation where I won't be able to use chakra I can fall back on this. And not only that. With more stat points in intelligence and wisdom I can increase my Mana power. I could become OP with just this power alone….'
As Daichi was dreaming about his future Mana capabilities one of the shadow clones dispelled.
[Skill Fire affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Tree walking technique's level has risen by one.]
[Ninjutsu Fire Style - Dragon Fire Jutsu has leveled up.]
'Looks like my clones are trying to level up the tree walking technique too.. Nice. And I have another level up in skill and jutsu. Excellent.'
At that moment a wave of fatigue hit him. His hands slightly trembled but Daichi held still. He took several breaths of air and resumed his workout. Daichi noticed his stamina points decrease a chunk.
'Keep going Daichi. Almost there.'
He decided it was enough push up and flipped in the air and gracefully landed on the ground. Daichi began running around the compound. He kept his speed up but he didn't go at this fastest. He maintained his speed as he circled the compound. As he completed several rounds the next clone disappeared.
[Skill Earth affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Ninjutsu Earth Style - Rock Shelter Jutsu has leveled up.]
Daichi breathed hard as his chakra and stamina went down another few hundreds of points. But he didn't stop. Daichi kept running with the weights on. Several minutes later the last two clones also dispelled.
[Skill Water affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Water walking technique's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Chakra Manipulation's level has risen by one.]
[Ninjutsu Water Style - Hydro Blast Jutsu has leveled up. x2]
[Ninjutsu Wind style - Wind Bullet Jutsu has leveled up. ]
[Skill Tree walking technique's level has risen by one.]
Daichi was panting due to the fatigue hitting him all at once. He went down to one knee and tried to catch his breath as he looked through the blue system messages.
'Looks like the passive skill Absolute Chakra Mastery I got from that Hyuga rip off ninja is really helping me. The speed of my chakra control techniques are improving much faster than I thought.'
Daichi took a few moments and then resumed his training. He completed several body conditioning exercises and pushed himself to go beyond his limits. Daichi watched as his stamina slowly depleted. After several hours of grueling training Daichi was finally successful.
[+1 STAMINA]
[Your Stamina stat has reached 100 points. ]
[You have gained the passive skill Enhanced Stamina. ]
[Your SP formula is recalculated and now has increased. ]
Daichi felt as if he regained almost all his strength. 'Wow…. What a rush. This feels amazing. It's like I could go on training like this forever.' Daichi clicked on the new skill.
[Enhanced Stamina - Passive (LV. MAX): A passive skill given to the Player when the stamina stat has reached 100. This skill increases the user's SP and speeds up the user's stamina recovery by 5 times. Enhanced Stamina is a skill that's obtained and maxed. ]
Daichi looked over the skill. 'Hmmm… Not much different than the other passive skills I got. But I'm not complaining… Wow!!! Stamina recovery by 5 times… Awesome. This will come in handy for a lot of stuff.'
Daichi giggled as he had some naughty thoughts.
He then calmed down and looked at his status page.
"Wow. My stamina points shot up to 6695 points. Now there is only a 100 points difference between HP and SP."
Seeing that his goal for the day was completed he decided to end the training. Daichi went back to his room to get freshened up and by the time he came down it was dinner time.
Daichi and Kensei were eating while they discussed various topics. The majority of them were on what Daichi should be focused on in the coming years during his time in the academy.
"Daichi. Are you planning on pursuing any other fields aside from Ninjutsu and Taijutsu?" Kensei asked the boy.
"Not particularly. I planned on studying Genjutsu and maybe some Medical Ninjutsu but… I'm not going to actively pursue them." Daichi gave a nonchalant answer.
Kensei slightly narrowed his eyes as he listened to the boy. 'If this was before the meeting with Hiruzen, I would have agreed with him. I would have thought it would be too much for him. But now…. I'm certain that he's more than capable of handling multiple subjects at the same time. He won't be able to fully and efficiently utilize his growth speed if he only studies Ninjutsu and devotes himself to Taijutsu. That's just wasting his potential…'
"Daichi!... What do you think about Genjutsu and medical Ninjutsu?" The old man asked with a neutral face. Hearing his grandfather Daichi thought about the two vast fields.
'I'm immune to Genjutsu thanks to the Gamer's Mind. And my gamer's body takes care of injuries with a good night's sleep. So that's covered.' After thinking about it for a minute he gave an answer.
"I'll study them but just enough for me to understand them and be a bit better than the average ninja and maybe learn about a dozen useful jutsus but that's it. I'm not really interested in going further than that."
Daichi's answer was one Kensei half expected. 'It seems he doesn't know the true value or the danger posed by Genjutsu users and Medic ninjas… It's to be expected I guess… Kids are more impressed with flashy stuff like Ninjutsu. Can't exactly blame him for that. I was the same once…. But if he wants to be the best he'll have to learn them as well. Spend time on them just like he does with Ninjutsu training.'
A smirk appeared on Kensei's face as he thought of a plan. Noticing his grandfather's smirk, Daichi was slightly confused.
"Daichi! We're going to battle tomorrow." Kensei suddenly said.
"Alright I'll get ready for our sparring in the morning and be in the room." Daichi replied as he didn't think much of it.
Kensei shook his head. "No. Not a spar. A battle!! We're going outside. There is a private training ground near here with enough space for us to let loose. We're going to use everything in our arsenal. No limits."
Daichi was shocked as he listened to the old man's words. Kensei turned serious as he looked at Daichi.
"Daichi. Tomorrow we're going to battle and I want you to come at me with everything you got. Fight with the intent to kill. Because I will…"
Looking at Kensei's face Daichi knew the old man was serious. He didn't know what prompted this sudden change but he was going to be ready. Daichi nodded seriously.
Seeing that his grandson took the matter seriously, he internally smirked. 'Tomorrow I'm going to show you the value of the ninja arts you deem unnecessary.'

Author's Note:
I was planning on posting this chapter tomorrow but I decided to do it early. A certain milestone on a certain site (that starts with P and ends with N) has been completed.
Thank you for all the love and support you guys show my story.
Now onto other matters. I'm thinking about adding a second story. I'm not sure if I should do a one piece story or my hero academia story. I already have an idea as to the powers I want my character in MHA to have.
But I'm not sure about the one piece MC. I want my guy to have a logia df. Not the ones used in the show but a new one. Any thoughts?? They are most welcome. Or I wouldn't mind if it's a cool paramecia df with potential for unique abilities.

章節 62: Chapter 62 - The Calamity Tiger - Kensei Yasaji
Private Training Ground.
It was a few minutes past seven in the morning. Daichi and Kensei stood on the training ground facing each other. Kensei was wearing a dark green vest similar to the Jonin vest. He had a kunai holster and shuriken pouch tied on his legs. And on his hands were fingerless black gloves with metal plate covering. He had a tanto strapped to his back along with arm and leg guards.
Kensei had a calm but stern expression on his face. As Daichi stood opposite to him, he understood that this would be an entirely different level of battle. He could feel the presence of the veteran ninja pressing down on him.
'He's not kidding around. It feels as if there's some sort of pressure exerted on my body. I can't underestimate him.'
Daichi noticed something strange with Kensei's left leg. It was something he noticed from the moment they left the house 'He's not wearing the usual prosthetics. This one looks and helps him move around like a real leg… It looks a lot more advanced than the one he had before. Maybe an advanced puppet prosthetic…? Wonder where he got that from?'
Daichi used 'Observe' on him. Up until then every time he used the information gathering skill on Kensei it wouldn't reveal anything but today was different. Today he finally saw information on his grandfather and after reading it he became even more serious and slightly nervous.
[LV.75](Regressed)[Kensei Yasaji][The Calamity Tiger.]
[Age: 64]
[HP: 8533] [CP: 8006]
[Kensei Yasaji is a retired Jonin and former Anbu captain. He graduated from the academy one year after Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is considered an exceptionally gifted ninja due to his knowledge and usage of several ninja arts. He rescued Fumiyo Aya during a mission and formed a relationship thereafter. He married her and had a son named Hotaru Yasaji. Kensei Yasaji is a talented shinobi who fought in three world wars and completed 1320 missions ranging from Ranks D to S. During the second world war due to his formidable power he earned the nickname 'The Calamity Tiger.' His primary chakra nature is fire but he is also capable of using earth and wind chakra natures proficiently and has some degree of mastery in water and lightning. Even though he is loyal to the village his philosophies regarding the place have changed due to his bitter experiences throughout the years. He is very fond of you. Due to his age and the injuries he suffered throughout his career, his level, chakra and health points have regressed.]
'That's a lot of info. Is it because he's related to me?... Questions for later.' Daichi read the information displayed as quickly as possible. As he finished reading it Daichi became nervous. 'The Calamity Tiger? So he was strong enough to earn a nickname huh. I need to be extremely cautious. I'm not going to add points to my stats but I won't hold back either.'
Daichi remembered the quest that popped up when they reached the training grounds a few minutes ago.
[Quest Created - 'Battle Kensei Yasaji.']
[Your grandfather has challenged you to a battle. Fight and give it your all.]
[Conditions:]
Survive the battle for over 1 hour.
Force your opponent to take you seriously.
Inflict an injury on your opponent that reduces over 150 HP at once.
Defeat Kensei Yasaji. (Bonus)
Survive the battle for over 5 hours. (Bonus)

+2 Level. (Bonus)
New weapon. (Bonus)
Reputation increases with Kensei Yasaji.
[Failure:]
-1 Level.
New Title.
Reputation decreases with Kensei Yasaji.
[Accept (Y/N)]
Daichi accepted the quest without hesitation and now he was prepared for the fight.
"Daichi. Don't hold back on me just because I'm old and crippled. You'll learn in a short while that appearances can be deceiving. Do you understand?" Kensei spoke up.
"I know." Daichi nodded his head. "I'll come with the intent to kill." Daichi became serious. But despite the serious situation, due to his many life or death battles in the dungeon, instead of anxiety, Daichi was feeling excitement.
"Whenever you're ready. Come." Kensei spoke up.
Daichi took a short breath and let it out. 'Let's do this!.'
3 shuriken appeared between Daichi's fingers on both hands and he flung them as fast as he could at his enemy with precise aim. In the span of mere seconds they neared their target.
Kensei stood still and looked nonchalantly at the flying shuriken. He had a smirk on his face as he calculated the trajectory of the shurikens.
'Head, heart, lungs, thighs and arms. All of them aimed to kill and/or immobilize my limbs. Good. It's good that you're serious.'
He took a single shuriken from his weapon holster and flung it within an instant. The time for that action to take place was less than one second. Kensei's shuriken hit the weapon flying at the front and changed its trajectory. And then both weapons hit the others near them and changed their paths as well. In moments all shuriken were deflected from their original paths and flew by Kensei without ever getting near him.
Daichi's eyes widened like dinner plates as he saw the scene.
'With just one shot he changed the paths of all the shurikens coming at him… And the way his arm moved… It was a fluid motion. No wasted energy. Precise and strong and yet graceful… This guy… he's no joke!!… So this is what a veteran ninja is capable of huh… Incredible.'
Not one to waste time and let the opposite side dictate the battle, Daichi made his move. He created two shadow clones and surrounded Kensei. All of them threw several shuriken at the old man at the same time and then moved to attack him. The real Daichi leapt up and aimed a kunai at Kensei's head while the clones positioned themselves at Kensei's front and rear. They ran at him with the intent to engage in hand to hand combat.
Kensei took a single glance at the coming projectiles and deflected all of them like before with three shurikens. He then got ready for Daichi and his clones and prepared for the Taijutsu battle that was about to begin. He analyzed the strategy used by his grandson.
'A shuriken attack wave from 3 directions and now a direct attack from 2 sides. If I jump upwards he's ready to impale me with that kunai.' He internally smirked. 'A basic attack strategy of a three man team. How childish.'
Kensei easily blocked the punches aimed at him with both hands. The clone's real intention was to hold his arms so Kensei wouldn't be able to deflect the kunai Daichi had just thrown. Kensei tilted his head to the side and let the kunai pass him by but suddenly the weapon changed directions and flew back at his head.
Daichi smirked as he looked on. 'Look at that. 'Chakra threads' is such a great skill.'
Kensei pushed against a hand holding him down and used a bit more force to get free but it was too late. The kunai struck his head and was buried deep. Blood gushed out and both clones jumped back while Daichi landed on the ground. He was startled for a moment because it was the first time he saw blood and gore like that. Especially when it was him that inflicted that injury.
In the dungeon, due to the enemies being made up of smoke like substance and since they were made by the system, Daichi never felt remorse or any other feelings when killing them.
But this sudden splash of blood froze him. His hands slightly shook and he became a bit unfocused. It wasn't enough to trigger the effects of the Gamer's Mind but what happened still made him lose focus. At that moment a powerful kick hit his back sending him flying onto one of the clones.
[-33 HP]
"Gha…"
The clone caught Daichi but due to the force of the impact, it was dispelled.
'Of course. There is no way a veteran ninja would die like that.' Daichi refocused his senses and looked at the fallen Kensei. It had turned into a log with a kunai buried in it. The real ninja was standing several feet away from him looking right as rain.
"That was -..."
"A substitution with a simple Genjutsu weaved in. The Genjutsu made it look real. It wouldn't fool a real ninja but against amateurs it's more than enough." Kensei answered Daichi's incomplete question.
Daichi narrowed his eyes as he listened to the old man. 'When did he have time to weave signs for a substitution or that Genjutsu?... And moreover… I thought Genjutsu didn't work on me due to the Gamer's Mind. What's going on?'
As Daichi thought about this question Kensei suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don't get distracted."
Kensei yelled as a powerful kick broke through Daichi's defenses and landed on his chest. The force of the attack sent him flying backwards. Daichi quickly regained his bearings and backflipped in mid air and landed on the ground. He skidded a few feet back but used chakra to stop his momentum. During this time Kensei attacked and easily dispatched the 2nd clone as well.
'The kick had enough force to send me flying a few meters back but it didn't do much damage. And it was a little bit weaker than the last one. Looks like the damage reduction buffs are doing their jobs.' Daichi concentrated on the fight and on his enemy.
A few seconds passed and Daichi and Kensei rushed at each other. They both began their Taijutsu battle. Daichi was having a much harder time against him than he had in any of the other fights. Kensei deflected Daichi's attacks and easily broke through the boy's guard and precisely landed his strikes.
The first few blows Kensei dealt didn't do much damage but as more and more attacks landed on him Daichi noticed something.
'He's increasing the strength of his punches. And now he's putting enough force in each punch to surpass my damage reduction buff.'
Daichi's damage reduction buff worked well against enemies on his level and below. But against enemies with higher levels the effects of the buff become reduced. The higher the level of an opponent and the power of an attack, the easier it will be for the enemy to reduce damage reduction effects and inflict more damage on Daichi. The boy figured this out during his many fights in the dungeons.
As Daichi blocked another punch he understood the old man's plan. 'He's testing my limits. He's trying to see just how much punishment I can take.'
At this moment a notification appeared.
[Mental intrusion detected.]
[Gamer's Mind has neutralized the attack. ]
Kensei tried to place a Genjutsu on the boy but it was ineffective. He narrowed his eyes as he tried to figure out how Daichi quickly got rid of the Genjutsu.
'Strange. I tried to place a 'balance disruption' Genjutsu on him but as soon as my chakra came in contact with his he negated my attack. But it didn't look like he consciously did it… I'll need to look into this.'
Kensei was analyzing Daichi's progress and fighting style throughout the battle. He was also trying to figure out Daichi's damage threshold.
During the spars throughout the years Kensei had learned that Daichi had a much stronger body than a child his age should have. Daichi took far less damage and was much more durable than others. He could last longer and recover quickly after a fight. Kensei was curious and wanted to know the secrets of Daichi's body but he never asked the boy.
'Now's the perfect time to see just what you're capable of. Your body is abnormal and your learning capabilities are beyond incredible… I have a feeling you know the secrets behind your abnormalities but something tells me you won't share them with me… That's fine. I'll figure it out on my own.' Kensei was determined to figure out Daichi's secrets.
After dozens of blows Kensei had a rough idea as to how much force should be exerted to injure Daichi. He evaded a punch and tried to sweep Daichi's legs. The boy slightly jumped and kicked out. His knee aiming for the old man's chin.
Kensei blocked the knee with a palm and punched. Daichi blocked the fist but he was forced to fall back and take several steps back to steady himself.
Both of them stood without making a move. Neither one was even slightly out of breath. For this was just a warm up. The real battle is about to begin.

Author's Note:
I can already picture some of you guys saying "Daichi has Gamer's mind and thus Genjutsu shouldn't affect him. So what the hell, author?"
Trust me, there is an explanation for it and it will be given in the next couple chapters. So pls be patient.
And I've decided that my second story would be a My Hero Academia story. But I won't be writing it anytime soon. I want to complete the first half of this story. Otherwise I might not be able to publish chapters for either fics at such speed.
