章節 219: Chapter 219 - Battle on the High Seas 03
Seeing Lee, Tenten and Neji start to make their way towards his ship, Mazui instantly threw several shuriken at them with deadly precision. But the deadly throwing stars were quickly deflected off their targets by another wave of shuriken from Kakashi.
"Like I said earlier. Your opponent is me." Kakashi had his Sharingan out and was ready for battle.
Mazui turned his attention back to the Jonin in front of him and smiled. "So be it. I'll kill them after I kill you."
Battle: Kakashi vs Mazui Begins.
—-
Several meters away from Kakashi and Mazui were Guy and Bozui.
Might Guy suddenly appeared on Bozui's left side and struck with a roundhouse kick to the head. The former cloud Jonin had experience fighting with fast opponents and was able to easily keep up with Guy's speed. He raised his hand and defended against the powerful kick of the Taijutsu master.
A small shockwave that rocked the water appeared when their limbs connected. The water below Bozui caved from the force for a few moments due to the blow he blocked before returning to normal. Bozui was just as fast as Guy and the second he blocked Guy's kick, he tried to land a punch on the other Jonin's throat. But Guy saw it coming and raised his forearm to defend against the punch. Both of them separated and landed a few meters apart.
Bozui grinned as the lust for battle awakened in him. "Hahaha… That speed and strength. It seems this might be a lot more interesting than I thought."
Guy too smirked hearing that. "My specialty is Taijutsu. I devote my life to improving my battle skills. So allow me to show you my passionate spirit." Guy got into a fighting stance and Bozui also got ready.
Battle: Might Guy vs Bozui Begins.

As the battle between the Jonins was starting, Daichi created a shadow clone and it accompanied the other Genins. "I'll be with you guys. We'll get this done much faster."
Neji looked at clone Daichi with his Byakugan and frowned. "That clone jutsu you just used cut your chakra in half. Are you sure about this?"
"I'll be fine Neji." Daichi dismissed the other Genin's concerns. He had certain plans in mind and the clone was an insurance.
'I can't let anything happen to anyone on my side if I want to successfully complete this quest. So I can't let anything go to chance. And I need to raid that ship and take some items with me. With a shadow clone present I won't have to worry much. '
And so the three Genin of Team Guy and Daichi's shadow clone made their way to the ship that was coming closer and closer to their location.
—-
As all this was happening the real Gamer ninja sped towards the fishman enemy. The unknown person immediately tried to escape underwater but Daichi didn't let up. He cut off chakra to his feet and plunged into the sea just as the figure disappeared beneath the waves.
Daichi's senses allowed him to keep track of the enemy. The next second he boosted his limbs with chakra and thanks to the evolved Agility skill 'Shadow Speed' he was able to reach the enemy before he got away.
The water around Daichi violently spread in all directions with how quickly he was moving and the force he was generating. When Daichi neared the enemy, instead of striking with an attack he grabbed his opponent's head and forced him away from the other battlefields. The Leaf Genin concentrated and sent a burst of his killing intent at the enemy, reducing his resistance. Daichi swam a couple hundred meters away from the Jonins.
'I can't incapacitate or kill this guy. Not yet. I need to get him away from Kakashi and Guy and make him talk. The information I want from him, I need to make sure no one else finds out.'
Daichi, having formed some plans of his own, decided to take advantage of the opportunity that unexpectedly arose. The enemy ninja could do nothing but grip the Genin's arm as the Leaf nin dragged him along.
As Daichi gripped the enemy's head in his palm and got away from the other fights, he thought about the decision he had made on the ship. 'I've been playing the hero for a while now. But if I want to reach the apex of this world, playing the role of a goody two shoes won't help. The plans in my mind… I won't be able to execute them if I keep playing nice… I guess it's time to step into the role of a villain. But I have to make sure… That I don't lose myself to the darkness.'
And so Daichi made a choice. A choice that would one day affect the balance of power in the world.
Once the Leaf Genin was sure that he was sufficiently out of range from the other Jonins he threw the captured ninja upwards and out of the water. 'Oh man. It's a good thing I learned to hold my breath much longer or this would have been more tedious. I'm out of Kakashi and Guy's range but they are still in mine. Thank you 'evolved sense' skills.'
The fishman ninja was blasted out of the water and skipped on the ocean surface for several meters before he used chakra to stop himself. The enemy was in disbelief at what had just happened.
'Damn it. What the hell? My strength had increased a lot after the experiments. And yet I couldn't get out of his grip no matter how hard he tried… And that speed. He was faster than even me, and that too underwater? There is no way he's a Genin.'
Daichi appeared a short distance away and looked at the ninja.
[LV.66] [Onizaki]
Age: 26
HP: 12425 CP: 9020
Affiliation: Gladiator pirates.
[Onizaki is a former Chunin from the Land of Rain. He came to the Land of Sea on a mission and was captured by Orochimaru and used as an experiment. Due to the experiments Amachi and Orochimaru conducted on him, he had gained fish-like appearance, ability to breath underwater, increased stamina, higher muscle and bone density and higher than average water affinity. He is one of the few people that survived the experiments. After the experiments were conducted he was locked up due to his rebellious nature but was set free when Bozui and Mazui raided the lab. Now he serves under them.

Daichi had a small frown as he looked at the information. 'Shit! So Bozui and Mazui already raided the lab? If they killed that man, then this whole endeavor might be pointless. No. I need to confirm his status before I jump to any conclusions.'
"Who are you? Really? You're not a Genin." The question came from Onizaki.
Daichi had a stone cold face as he looked at the enemy. "Who I really am…? You're not ready to hear that answer."
Onizaki gritted his teeth as he looked at Daichi. 'It doesn't matter who he is or how strong he is. Those experiments gave me power far beyond ordinary ninjas. He just caught me off guard that time. Yeah that's it. And it won't happen again. I can win this fight.'
Having made his decision no more words were spoken as Onizaki rushed towards Daichi.
The Gamer ninja looked at the enemy and let out a small breath of air. 'He won't give me the answers I want like this. I need to make sure he understands his situation. I'll beat him till near death and then give him hope. At that moment if he values his life, he'll sing like a canary.'
Once Onizaki neared the Leaf Genin he made several seals and instantly 4 high pressure water streams with enough power to slice through buildings shot towards Daichi from the ocean.
Onizaki smirked at the execution of the jutsu. 'At this short distance he won't be able to dodge. I'm going to skewer you to bits, you arrogant brat.'
The lightning fast water attacks pierced through Daichi and cut him to shreds. Onizaki smirked but the next second a powerful punch hit his left cheeks sending him flying. Blood splattered and several teeth fell out as his body was thrown across the ocean floor.
Before he could think or even stop himself a powerful kick struck his back sending him flying up high into the air.
Daichi went through a few seals and used his next attack. 'Lightning Style - Blitz arrows.'
Lightning covered Daichi's hands as he pointed them at the airborne Onizaki. The next second several blue lightning arrows formed from his lightning coated arms and flew at the enemy ninja.
"Ahhh…" BOOM!
A few seconds later the former Chunin from the Hidden Rain village fell down to the ocean. He had several burn marks on his body and was not fully conscious. He slowly sank but Daichi knew the man was far from dead. He decided to wait and give him a chance to retaliate.
Onizaki sank beneath the waves and it took a short while for him to regain his bearings. 'Fuck. That almost killed me. How is he so fast and strong? Those punches… If I didn't have this body I'd be a smear right now… I need to attack him from a distance.'
The speed and strength Daichi displayed reduced the arrogance in the man and he became cautious. 'If I can't defeat him then I'll need to get Mazui and Bozui's help.'
He readied himself and went through several seals. 'Water clone Jutsu.'
Several water clones rose out of the ocean around Daichi and began to attack him. The Leaf Genin easily evaded and destroyed them one by one with precise aim and powerful strikes. Daichi was keeping a close eye on the real one and found his intentions.
'He's trying to escape from here and get back to the others. Can't let that happen.'
The Leaf Genin made a few seals and placed his palms on the water. 'Water Style - Drilling bullets.'
Dozens of drilling water bullets were shot at Onizaki. Thanks to his fish-like features and abilities he almost evaded all of them. A few clipped him drawing blood but he didn't stop. His goal was to get to the others and use combination jutsu.
But his escape plan was a failure. Daichi appeared a few meters in front of him underwater.
Onizaki clenched his fists at the blatant arrogance. 'You think you can fight me underwater?'
Anger clouded his judgment and he rushed forward towards the Genin. A clenched fist was sent at Daichi's face who tilted his head to the side and avoided the punch. Onizaki with the other hand made a clawing motion and several thin water needles formed and attacked Daichi. The thin water needles didn't do much damage due to Daichi's numerous passive defensive skills.
A fast punch buried Onizaki's gut the next second and he was forced upwards again and out of the water. Daichi created a shadow clone and then quickly followed him. Once he was out of water, he threw several shuriken at the other ninja who evaded the throwing stars.
The next second several water tendrils rose and restrained his hands and legs. Onizaki struggled against the jutsu but it was no use. 'This kid. He distracted me with those shurikens. He must have a large volume of chakra to keep using Jutsu like this… Shit! I can't break free.'
Daichi landed a couple meters away from the restrained ninja. "I remember you using a combination attack at the beginning. Lemme try what that's like."
The next second Lightning came through the water tendrils and it completely electrocuted him.
His jaw clenched and his muscles tightened. Onizaki groaned from the pain as he was paralyzed by the attack.
Daichi kept his combination jutsu going for a few more seconds before dropping it. The shadow clone appeared out of the water behind the ninja pirate and stood with his arms crossed. 'That strength stat is no joke. Even after all that, he's still conscious. Just as I thought. Orochimaru's experiments are certainly strong.'
Onizaki was breathing hard and coughing. He was down to his knees and struggled to even stand. He looked at the Genin standing in front of him and then glanced at the other one behind. 'There's no doubt that I've got internal injuries from his attacks. If I keep fighting, I'll die… But if I surrender… Maybe I'll get the opportunity to escape later… It's my only choice. But what if the Lightning Twins win against the other Jonins? Then they'll probably kill me for surrendering… Fuck!'
"You're realizing it now aren't you? Your situation. There is no escape and winning isn't in the cards for you." Daichi said with a cold tone as he crossed his arms and looked at the ninja.
Onizaki sighed and slowly stood. "I resigned myself to death when Orochimaru captured me. I guess, after everything that's happened, I suppose it's my time."
Daichi narrowed his eyes and spoke. "I can give you a choice."
Onizaki slightly tilted his head at that statement. "And what's that?"
"I want you to answer a few questions I have. If you do, I'll show you mercy."
Daichi's reply drew a scoff from the man. "I might be dead by the end of this fight but I ain't telling you shit!"
Daichi smirked at that predicted response. "You didn't hear my whole offer."
"If I talk, are you willing to let me go?"
"No." Daichi shook his head and the certainty in the Genin's voice confused Onizaki.
"So if you're not gonna let me go then what are you gonna offer me in return for answering your questions?"
At the man's question Daichi turned serious and all humor left his face. Killing intent surfaced as he answered the man.
"A quick death!"
That answer stunned Onizaki for a few moments before he started chuckling. Those chuckles turned into full blown laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…."
"You think I'll talk just because you'll be generous and give me a quick death?" The expression on the former Rain Ninja's face instantly changed into one of absolute fury. "STOP FUCKING AROUND YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
The next second the enraged Onizaki zoomed towards Daichi and their hand to hand combat began. Daichi blocked and redirected the attacks while noting the increased power behind the attacks.
'It seems rage increases his strength. But this still won't be enough against me.'
Daichi clenched his hand and concentrated a small portion of his chakra to his fist. The next second he directly punched at the incoming fist and released his stored up chakra.
BOOM!
"AAAHHH!" Onizaki screamed in pain as most of the bones in his right arm were broken and muscles were torn. He was tossed back from the blow and landed a few meters away. He took several deep breaths of air as he looked at the Leaf Genin. His right arm hung limp as it bled profusely from multiple areas.
"If I… If I don't talk… What are you gonna do? Torture me?"
Daichi calmly walked up to the man and replied. "No. If you don't talk, I'm gonna capture you and hand you to a certain man in the Leaf village. Perhaps you might have heard of him. Danzo Shimura. He's the one who's gonna do the torturing."
Onizaki broke out in a cold sweat as he heard that name. He indeed knew who the man was. He had heard rumors about him.
Seeing the man's expression, Daichi continued. "You see, Danzo is interested in creating powerful shinobi for the village. Once you're in his hands, he'll conduct experiments on you to study you and replicate your powers. He'll make Orochimaru look tame in comparison. He is a man who will do anything to strengthen the Leaf village. And when he finds out you were Orochimaru's experiment, he'll torture you for information on that man, even if you don't know anything. You'll spend the rest of your days in agony and pain. And then weeks, months or maybe years later when you're of no more use to him, that's when he'll kill you."
Daichi kept a calm face as he told the man a bold faced lie. 'There is one perk about Danzo and his cruel methods and infamy. I can use it to scare enemy ninjas and get what I want.'
Seeing Onizaki silent, Daichi continued in a slightly softer tone. "I could have lied to you, told you that I would let you leave here alive, if you gave me what I wanted but that's not my style. At least not when it comes to shinobi. I respect you as a ninja. It's why I'm telling you what will happen. You have a choice. You give me the information I want and I will give you a swift relatively painless death. It'll be all over in seconds. If you refuse, I'll knock you out and take you back to the village and you'll live in prolonged agony before dying. You have a decision to make."
Onizaki gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at Daichi. Small drops of tears appeared in the corner of his eyes. 'If the rumors about Danzo Shimura are true, then dying is a better alternative than getting caught… After everything I've suffered, I can't believe this is how it ends for me…'
Daichi seeing the man struggle, decided to use Mana puppetry.
'Its over. I don't want to be tortured again. There's no need to continue struggling. Let's just get this over with. I'll have better luck in the next life.'
Seeing the man getting closer to making a choice, Daichi gave him one last push. "I'll give you a quick death. And as a bonus I'll also take revenge on the people who did this to you."
A few moments later a notification appeared.
[Target has accepted the suggestion.]
Onizaki gave up resisting and looked at the boy. "What do you want to know?"
Daichi uncrossed his arms and began his questioning.

Author's Note:
Another 3k word chap.
There are a few things that I think I should clarify right now.
Daichi won't be a full blown villain.
He'll still keep his persona of the good guy. He still has standards and values. He'll still help his friends but he'll do some morally questionable things in the shadows. But only to those that deserve it.
Daichi has some plans in mind but to get it started he needs to do some questionable things.
I told you guys from the beginning. Daichi is gonna be a grey ninja. Neither a saint nor an evil bad guy. I'll see if I can strike that balance.

章節 220: Chapter 220 - Battle on the High Seas 04
The team of 3 Genin and one shadow clone were quickly making their way to the warship.
"Wow. I can't believe how big this ship is." Lee said as the team came close to the sea vessel.
"Yeah. And that cannon in the front. A weapon like that could do some serious damage." Tenten looked at the giant cannon and spoke.
"Concentrate you two. We're here. And they have several people waiting for us on board." Neji used his Byakugan and saw that their approach had already been detected.
Daichi's shadow clone smirked as he heard that. "Well then let's not disappoint them."
The Genins quickly launched themselves onto the side of the ship and made their way up. They saw over a dozen men with weapons and malicious grins waiting for them.
But among them was one with a menacing aura. The middle aged man had long grey hair, striking blue eyes, a crow tattoo under the right eye, sharp jawline and light skin. He was wearing a dark blue jacket, black pants and shoes and had a headband with the symbol of the Mist village crossed off in the middle.
Daichi upon seeing the man knew he was stronger than your average ninja. He immediately used 'observe' skill.
[LV.64] [Maki Reijiro]
Age: 51
HP: 7452 CP: 11644
Affiliation: Gladiator pirates.
[Maki Reijiro was a former ninja from the Hidden Mist village. He is a ninja with above average talents who became a Chunin during the 3rd world war. His unique features are his high affinity towards Water chakra nature and higher than average chakra reserves. He is also a talented shipwright due to his father. Almost a year ago he was forced to take the blame for a crime he didn't commit under the orders of his Kage and had to flee the village. Before the Hunter ninjas of the village could kill him he was saved by the Lightning Twins and he has been with them since. He no longer cares about anyone other than a few certain people in his crew. He has gotten old and his fighting skills have diminished. To make up for his lacking strength he uses special items. He is wearing a Rare Rank armor and wielding the Special rank item, the Frost Sword. Both, made by Katsura Sadoshi, another member of the crew.

Daichi internally sighed as he saw the info displayed in the blue box. 'Another guy used and discarded by the village. It's no wonder Kisame left that village and joined Obito. I kinda feel bad for the guy but I've already decided not to show mercy to my enemies.'
Daichi paid close attention to the stat and level of his enemy. 'Even though this guy and Akamine were of the same shinobi rank their level and skills are vastly different. Even if he's not in his prime he's a lot stronger than that guy Akamine… His chakra level and stats are far higher… And what's this? Frost Sword?... Is that what I think it is?'
Daichi looked at the man and the most noticeable item in his possession was the sword he was holding in his right arm. The sword was more like a katana. The blade was deep blue and shining in an almost ethereal manner. The hilt and guard were made of special darkened steel like material. The blade of the weapon was emitting a light blue mist.
'Observe'
[Frost Sword] [Special Item: Rank A]
[The Frost Sword is a Special Ranked item created by Katsura Sadoshi. It is his greatest creation till date. This weapon is created by studying the Kekkei Genkai genetics of a member of the Yuki clan and the DNA is extracted and used in creating this sword. This sword can freeze water, create and launch massive waves of ice and more. Only someone with higher than average chakra reserves and one with high affinity to Water can use this sword. This is a melee weapon that can shoot ice projectiles and can be used both defensively and offensively.
Note: This sword was created using the blood of a member of The Yuki clan and thus it can create Ice and mimic the abilities of that clan.
Members not part of the Yuki clan can use this sword but the chakra cost is high.
Members of the Yuki clan can use this sword with minimal chakra cost.]
Daichi was shocked by what his system showed him. 'A sword that can mimic the abilities of the Yuki clan? Unbelievable. To create something like that… I must have it. I need to study it. That sword will definitely help me in completing my water Nature training… And the man who made that sword. Katsura Sadoshi. I want him working for me.'
Several plans formed in Daichi's mind in moments and after a few seconds he decided on a certain course of action. 'I can't let the creator of a weapon like that get taken by Kakashi or any other village. I want him on my side. But I'm pretty sure he won't like the way I do it. If my plans work, then the gamble I take will pay off significantly.'
Maki looked at the genins and made a decision. He motioned to his men to get back. 'They will only be fodder to these Genin. It's best not to waste manpower.' He then looked at the 4 Leaf Genin and spoke. "You kids are a long way from home. You should have left when you had the chance."
"We have a mission to complete and we aren't leaving here without doing so."
"Yes. You kidnaped innocent people and held them hostage so their families would work in the mines. We wouldn't turn our backs on them at such a time."
Tenten and Lee said getting into a battle stance. Neji was silent but he also prepared himself for the fight.
"Guys, be careful of that sword. It doesn't look ordinary. I think it's like that armor these guys have." Daichi didn't want the other Genin's to get blindsided but he didn't give his teammates any more information.
Maki heard Daichi and smirked. "You have a good eye on you kid. And you're right. This sword is indeed special and you'll see its abilities up close real soon."
The former Mist ninja made a seal and thick fog suddenly formed around them.
Daichi had his senses on high alert and was easily keeping track of the enemy. 'Hidden Mist Jutsu. But that won't work. Especially with Neji and me here.'
"He's coming! 2.4 meters north east of us." Neji quickly shouted to Lee and Tenten.
Maki stopped his approach as soon as he heard that. 'So I was right. This kid is from the Hyuga clan. That means he can see me with those eyes. Looks like I'll have to use the ocean as my battleground. Can't damage the ship.'
He quickly formed seals and spit out sticky water aimed at the Genin's feet.
"Jump!" Neji saw the attack coming and shouted.
Maki smirked as his plan worked. Channeling chakra to his sword he swung it in the Genin's direction. A small blizzard was created and tossed the 4 Leaf ninjas on to the ocean a short distance away from the ship and it cleared the mist.
All of them landed on the water without any problems and Daichi made sure to reinforce his shadow clone body with chakra to make sure he didn't get dispelled.
"What happened? Where did that blizzard come from?" Tenten looked towards the ship and was surprised.
"It's the sword. He channeled some of his chakra into it and the next second he was able to create that blizzard." Neji said to his teammates.
"A sword that can create blizzards? I've neve heard of anything like that!" Tenten exclaimed in shock.
"I have a feeling that sword can do a lot more than just create snow storms." Daichi spoke to make sure they remained on high alert.
Maki jumped from the ship and made several seals as he landed on the ocean. The second his feet touched the water several tendril of water shot out and attacked the 4 Genin.
The Leaf ninjas quickly evaded the water style jutsu. Neji and Lee were rushing towards the Mist ninja to engage in close combat while Tenten and clone Daichi stood back to provide support.
As the two Taijutsu specialists of Team Guy charged towards the enemy, Maki had a devious grin and channeled chakra to his sword. "Ice time."
The next second the water in front of him started freezing and quickly the ice spread in the direction of Lee and Neji. The eyes of the three Genin widened as they saw the attack coming.
Neji and Lee jumped to the side to avoid the ice attack but Maki didn't let up. He channeled more chakra to his Frost Sword and sharp ice crystals formed on the surface of the ice platform and it shot towards the two ninjas at high speed.
A fireball from Daichi's clone quickly intercepted the long dangerous looking ice shards and reduced them to vapor.
At that time several shuriken, kunai and paper bombs were coming towards Maki and successfully hit their target. The paper bombs exploded, consuming the enemy ninja.
"Got him!" Tenten landed a short ways away with a scroll wide opened in her hands. She smirked as she looked at the success of her attack.
But her victorious feeling was short-lived when several water bullets shot out of the ocean surface targeting her. Luckily Daichi used chakra strings to pull her out of the way just in time.
"Don't let your guard down." Daichi told them and the Genins regrouped. A few meters away the enemy shinobi appeared.
Maki was impressed with Daichi's reflexes. "You think you can save them? Think again!"
He gripped his sword with both hands, focused his chakra into it and swung it as hand as he could. "Ice storm!"
Daichi's senses alerted him to the sudden drop in temperature. "Brace yourselves!" A sudden thick snowy storm blasted their way and ice crystals slowly started to form on the 4 Genins bodies. The bodies of water around them became frozen solid in a few seconds.
Neji, Lee and Tenten had a hard time moving their bodies as they tried to shield their faces. The Hyuga had an idea as to what their enemy was trying to accomplish. 'He's trying to reduce our movement so he can kill us with a more lethal attack.'
Daichi, even though had a few ice crystals forming on him, looked relatively calm but he was cautious. 'I can't let myself get dispelled. Time to really help these guys and stop holding back.'
Daichi increased the chakra flow in his body and turned it into fire nature, increasing his body heat. He then created several elemental strings and attached them to his three teammates.
Channeling Fire Chakra to the strings, Daichi regulated their body temperature and their surroundings. Thus the ice crystals forming on their bodies melted and disappeared.
"Wow, I only feel mildly cold. Daichi you're awesome." Lee moved his hands and looked at his friend with a grin.
"Your ninjutsu skills are really impressive. How did you do that? Wait. Did you just use chakra strings?" Tenten asked the boy. She and Lee couldn't see the chakra strings but knew about them due to their previous mission. But there was one who could see it as clear as day.
'To change the properties to such a degree so quickly. His control has gotten better from the last time… Hmm… He did say ninjutsu was his specialty.' Neji was reminded yet again why Daichi was the best in their generation.
"Yes. He used chakra strings and attached them to our bodies. He changed their properties to Fire Nature to increase the temperature around us." Neji said but he didn't elaborate anymore.
"That's incredible. Just like on the last mission. Except this time you're protecting us instead of fishes." Tenten said. She knew using Nature chakra was advanced stuff.
"Its no big deal. And besides, we should focus on that guy. He's probably going to stop using his jutsu any second now that he can see the snow storm has no effect on us." Daichi remained in guard and looked at the enemy.
The gamer ninja was right. Maki scowled seeing his jutsu fail. 'Damn it. I thought this would trap them but it looks like there's one among them who's a proficient fire user… And I used quite a bit of my reserves for that. I need to be more careful.'
At that moment he saw Daichi disappear and immediately got away using substitution jutsu.
The next second Daichi appeared near the spot Maki previously stood and narrowed his eyes. The boy used 'Mana scout' and immediately located the man under water a short distance away.
Neji also tracked the enemy with his eyes. He and his team prepared to attack but stopped when they saw Daichi making several seals.
'Water Style - Tearing Ripples.'
A powerful water current in the form of a very large ripple wave formed underwater and spread from Daichi's feet. It was large and shot in all directions with extraordinary speed.
Daichi smirked as he looked at the effects of the jutsu. 'A powerful B Rank underwater jutsu. Creates several ripples one after the other and slams into your opponent. I can even adjust the angle when a new ripple is formed and this will make my enemy keep dodging. This will force you to either go up and out of the water or go deeper into the ocean and if you do so then your body will start to feel the water pressure. Stay below too long and you'll die…'
Maki saw the large powerful waves coming in his direction and knew that moving down would only bring about his end. He quickly used chakra to swim to the top as fast as he could and reached the surface.
The next second Daichi and team Guy were on him but when their attacks landed, the man turned into a water clone.
Maki resurfaced several meters away but this time he didn't have the jovial attitude he had at the beginning.
"He's a slippery one. And with that sword it'll be difficult to bring him down." Lee said, looking at the man.
Neji was using the Byakugan the whole time and made a deduction. "It might not be as difficult as you think Lee. Whenever he uses that sword, his chakra is consumed at a higher than average rate. If we can force him to use up his chakra or destroy that sword then we can defeat him without much difficulty."
"Destroying that sword is not an option." Daichi said to them.
The three Genin of team Guy looked at Daichi and frowned. Seeing their questioning gazes the boy answered. "I want to study that sword. If possible, I want to take it from him and use it to improve my Nature training. So destroying the sword is out of the question."
Tenten and Lee readily nodded since Lee is Daichi's friend and Tenten was fascinated with the weapons as well. Neji just frowned but a few seconds later he gave a short nod as well.
"I'll take that sword away from him and you guys engage in close combat. Tenten, you should take any openings Lee and Neji provide. Everyone ready?"
The three Genin of Team Guy nodded to Daichi's plan.
Maki saw the gamer ninja quickly forming seals and then sensed the water moving erratically under him. He dodged several water bullets and was about to counter attack when sharp pain from his wrist showed him the reality.
His right wrist was broken and his Frost sword was in the hand of one of the Genin. He was furious as he realized that he fell for a Genjutsu attack. "You bastard! You're going to pay for that."
He wanted to rush forward towards Daichi but was intercepted by Neji and Lee. The three ninjas began their Taijutsu battle and with his broken wrist Maki couldn't use his substitution and escape.
Neji and Lee trained so much together that they attacked their opponent in perfect sync. Maki redirected a kick from Lee with his right forearm while sending a punch with his left fist. Lee jumped back and dodged while Neji rushed and took his place. His attacks were negated due to the chakra absorbing properties of armor.
"Your Gentle Fist Taijutsu won't work on me. My armor absorbs chakra and your deadly techniques are nothing more than love taps to me." Maki said as he took a kunai and attacked the boy.
Neji evaded nimbly and frowned at the situation. At that moment Lee joined him and sent a powerful punch that stopped Maki in his tracks. He took Lee much more seriously due to the strength coming from the boy.
He quickly jumped to the side and evaded a shuriken wave from Tenten but was blasted in Lee and Neji's direction by a strong kick from Daichi's clone.
"You two can do it. Focus."
The shout from Daichi drove away the apprehension from Neji and Lee and the two concentrated on the battle.
Neji and Lee attacked together with Neji playing the supporting role and Lee taking the main frontal attack role. A rarity in their team. Daichi joined from a short distance away and used 'Balance Disruption' Genjutsu on the man.
Maki was sweating as he was fighting the Leaf ninjas. 'Damn it. I have to watch out for the Genjutsu from that brat while these two keep me here. They're wearing me down. Even with my armor they're keeping up with me. The Hyuga brat is redirecting and deflecting my attacks against his teammate and giving him openings to take advantage of.'
Lee was in the zone as he battled his enemy. 'I have to defeat him. I need to fight harder. I need to be stronger.'
The bowl cut boy put more and more chakra into limbs and increased his speed and strength. Maki struggled with the increased battle power coming from the Genin.
'Damn it. Where is he getting all this energy? My armor won't be able to take much more of this.'
Just as Maki thought this he saw Neji and Lee quickly back away from him. The next second several kunai struck his back and he was covered in explosions.
During his battle with the two Genins, Maki failed to see Tenten subtly make her way towards his back and launch her weapons. The paper bombs hit their target and engulfed the man.
All the Genin stood still to see the result and once the smoke cleared they saw the man on his knees bleeding and his Armor broken. He was barely conscious and struggled to stand. "I'm… I'm… gonna kill.. you... You fucking-"
That was all he said before his entire body was engulfed in thick ice that erupted from below him. He was frozen solid inside a large chunk of ice.
Daichi looked at his sword and nodded. "So that's how it works. Nice."
He looked at the three Genin and nodded. 'I could have helped Lee and Neji more by restraining him with my chakra strings but that would be like babying them. They won this battle on their own with minimal help from me. That's a win in my book.'
Meanwhile Neji looked with his Byakugan and saw that the man's heart had stopped beating. "It's over… Let's get to the ship."
The other Genin looked at the warship and noted that it was getting much closer to the other ships.
"While we were fighting, they kept moving forward. Come on. We should intercept it before anything happens." Daichi spoke and at that moment something did happen as if fate was listening and decided to intervene.
"Something's wrong." Neji used his Byakugan on the ship and quickly said.
Daichi focused and saw that the large cannon of the ship was gathering energy. His eyes widened as he turned his head and saw the target. Ishido's ship. The Genin's were also alarmed and quickly ran towards the ship to stop the weapon but it was too late.
"Tenten!" With a yell, Daichi tossed the Frost sword to Tenten who easily caught it. The next moment he vanished in a puff of smoke to alert the real him.
BOOM!
The cannon activated and launched a massive fireball directly at Ishido's ship. Neji, Lee and Tenten felt dread as they saw the attack launch and looked on helplessly.

Author's Note:
another 3.5k word chap. Hope you enjoyed it.
Several points to note:
Daichi was a clone so he was holding back and playing it cautiously.
He could have used his speed skills to attack and finish the chunin but it was more of a Team Guy battle and Daichi just played the supporting role.
Despite being a Chunin, Maki was weak due to old age and letting his skills rust. He wasn't able to properly battle Neji and Lee due to Daichi's interference and broken right wrist.
So with these points in mind I hope you feel that the fight was balanced and fair…
On to other matters. By the time I completed the whole battle it was like near 11k words. So I decided to split it. Next chapter will be the conclusion of the battle. An 8k chap.
