The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Chapter 77: Shape Transformation Training 01

Daichi held the water balloon in his right hand. He gazed at it as his mind went through the first step of the training.

'The first step of the Rasengan. I went over everything in my old memories and everything I learned from Kensei's notes Naruto completed the three steps and learned the Rasengan jutsu quickly. Well if you could call four and a half weeks quick But there was a problem with the way he learned it. Because he used shortcuts to master the jutsu, he needed two hands for it to work. And that limited his combat capabilities.'

He took a breath and let it out. 'Unlike Naruto I'm in no hurry. I'm going to complete the Rasengan quickly but I'll make sure I master each step to perfection. Refining my Chakra control and mastering the shape transformation is my goal. It's why I delayed learning this for so long. But still This first step I really want to master it in 1 day.'

Daichi went over everything in his head. He checked the direction of the chakra flow in his body a few days ago. Based on the direction his hair was growing, Daichi concluded that his chakra was rotating to the right side in his body.

Daichi held the balloon and started applying chakra to his hand. 'I need to spin the water with my chakra in multiple directions to make this pop. But first I need to spin in a single direction to get the feel of this.'

The water in the balloon quickly started rotating in a clockwise direction. Feeling the chakra spinning with no problems in one direction, Daichi decided to keep it up for a few minutes. He wanted to see if he would get a new skill. And after a minute a new skill emerged.

Daichi stopped applying chakra and looked at the new skill.

[A new skill is created with a specific action.]

[Through continuously concentrating chakra to the palm of your hand and rotating it, the skill 'Chakra Rotation' has been created.]

[Chakra Rotation - (Active/Passive)(LV.01): A skill that helps the user master their chakra and use it more proficiently. This skill is one of several advanced chakra control techniques to help the user Increase their chakra control and movement of their chakra.]

[Effects:]

[+2% Increase in Chakra Movement and Form.]

[+1% Increase in Chakra Control.]

[CP Cost: Depends on the user.]

'Excellent. So that means I'll get 2 more control skills when I start the next two steps as well. I'll start the next step after I Max this out.'

Daichi began the rotation exercise again and kept going. At the moment he was only rotating his chakra in the palm in one direction. He increased and decreased the speed of rotation. Daichi also kept an eye on his chakra level.

Kensei was sitting on the porch watching Daichi train. 'This kid is really something else. His improvements in the ninja arts are astounding. If it weren't for the graduation age limit he definitely would have been a genin by now. But this is also a blessing in disguise. Now he has a few years to train in relative safety.'

Kensei thought about the mysterious man and the conversation he had with him.

'Did he know about the kid's talent when he asked me to adopt Daichi? Were they related? I have no doubt that the invisibility cloak was from him. It's the only possible explanation. I do remember him saying he would send a few of his things to Daichi. I'm sure Daichi isn't his son So what is their relationship?'

Kensei sighed and looked at the clouds. 'Maybe one day I'll find out.'

His mind went over what Aiko had said the previous night. He let out a breath and looked at his grandson.

'Aiko was certainly convinced by Daichi. But I'm not that easily fooled. Out of all the days, he picked the one day Itachi decided to kill the clan to train near the Uchiha grounds I don't buy it. Either that incident was a very big coincidence or Daichi knew something was about to happen Maybe I'm just grasping at straws here Regardless, Daichi knows more than he said. Of that, I'm sure Still I trust you kid. Maybe one day you'll let me in on your secrets'

Kensei watched Daichi practice with the water balloon with a stoic face. 'One thing I absolutely believe was his desire to save that girl. It was pure and genuine. He risked his life for her. Since the kid saved her life he is also now responsible for her. I'm sure he knows that. When that girl awakens the Sharingan the village will know what he did. I hope you're prepared for that day, Daichi!'

Kensei didn't say anything to help Daichi with the training. And Daichi preferred it that way. Both of them stayed in silence as Daichi continued the training.

Over 15 minutes passed by as Daichi trained. He was looking at the new skill as he controlled his chakra rotation. He was surprised that the new 'Chakra Rotation' skill was leveling up quickly.

[Skill Chakra Rotation's level has risen by one. x10.]

The skill quickly reached level 10.

'This must be because I've maxed out the tree walking technique and water walking technique. Now that I'm familiar with the chakra rotation aspect, time to increase the difficulty.'

Daichi closed his eyes and visualized his chakra spinning in clockwise direction but in different angles. He began with rotating his chakra to the right in two angles. The balloon in Daichi's hand stretched up, down and sideways. He kept the rotation to the right but he kept spinning his chakra in two angles.

The level of the skill kept going up as Daichi practiced.

As several more minutes went by Daichi was beginning to feel the strain on his body. He kept up for a few more minutes and then stopped.

He opened his eyes and took several deep breaths. 'This isn't easy. Even though I have the gamer's body I'm already feeling some pain. And I've only just begun For Naruto to relentlessly keep going His threshold for pain is no doubt much higher than normal. Not to mention the Nine tails healing him and with the chakra volume of the Uzumaki body One could almost call him a cheat.'

Daichi smirked as he thought that. 'How hypocritical of me. Calling someone else a cheat.'

Daichi went to the shade of the nearby tree and sat down.

"So how is it?" The voice of his grandfather came.

"It's not easy. But I expected that. To be honest I'm kinda enjoying this I think I might be a training addict." Daichi said with a small laugh at the end.

Kensei smirked and didn't say much more. He remembered the instructions for the rasengan as he was with Daichi when the Hokage revealed them. Kensei pondered on the difficulty of the training Daichi was attempting.

'This training is done by applying the tree walking and water walking techniques. By gathering chakra and then releasing it in a steady stream. And this step even takes it further. I remember that the chakra in the Rasengan was rotating in different directions. So to complete this step he has to let out a steady stream of chakra and burst the balloon by spinning his chakra in multiple directions. A difficult task.'

'The fourth created this in 3 years and I heard that it took Jiraiya 1 year to learn and Kakashi mastered it in less than 6 months. I wonder how long it would take Daichi to master this jutsu.'

Daichi was unaware of his grandfather's thoughts. He was sitting down cross legged and started to meditate.

'Naruto may have the Nine tails to heal him but I have something much better. My gamer ability is a far greater cheat than anything else.'

Daichi meditated and slowly the pains and aches his body felt disappeared. His chakra bar began to refill and before long he was at it again.

It wasn't just the chakra rotation skill that leveled up. His other chakra related skills got a boost as well.

[Skill Chakra Regeneration's level has risen by one.]

[Skill Chakra Affinity's level has risen by one.]

[Skill Chakra Manipulation's level has risen by one.]

[Skill Chakra Rotation's level has risen by one. x5.]

Daichi trained for 3 hours while taking short meditation breaks. In just 3 hours his chakra rotation skill leveled up to 37. Daichi altered and increased the rotation angle a few more times. He kept spinning his chakra in several angles and he started to see the balloon stretch in multiple directions.

'I'm going to completely master this step in one day. I have to get this skill to level 100.'

"Daichi! Come on. Time to eat. You'll feel better with something delicious in your belly." Kensei called out to his grandson.

Daichi nodded to his grandfather and went to get something to eat. After a while he resumed his training. He sat cross legged and held the water balloon.

'I've been spinning my chakra in a few directions but it's not enough. I need to do more. And I need to keep the chakra flow steady.'

Daichi began focusing his chakra and started rotating the water in the balloon. As each minute flew by, he increased the directions his chakra was moving. Sweat rolled down his face as he concentrated. His eyes were closed and his mind was on nothing else but the rotation of his chakra. He gritted his teeth and increased the rotation direction of the chakra.

Kensei was watching everything from the sideline. He saw the balloon starting to bulge in several directions. As if bumps were forming on it. His eyes widened in disbelief. 'No way! Is he Is he really going to master the first step in a single day?'

Daichi was in the zone. He didn't even hear the sound of notifications popping up. All he felt was his chakra and the water spinning around in the balloon.

"POP!"

In the quiet backyard, the sound of the balloon popping was loud. The sound startled Daichi but a wide grin quickly formed on his face.

"Yes! Bhooyaa!"

Kensei was astonished. 'Unbelievable! He learned the first step in a day!? I thought he would take a week or maybe even 10 days but. A single day No! It hasn't even been a day.'

"Well done Daichi!" Kensei couldn't help but congratulate his grandson. He marveled at Daichi's talents.

"Thanks Gramps.!" Daichi had a wide smile on his face. His right hand was slightly shaking and in small pain but he was laughing.

"You've learned the first step in less than a day. That's impressive! Are you going to start the next step right now?" Kensei praised Daichi's efforts and asked him.

"Thanks gramps! But I've only learned it. I'm gonna master this first step and only after that will I start on the next one." Daichi replied with a smile.

"Good choice." Kensei agreed with Daichi.

Daichi looked at the skill and saw that it was up to level 51. 'Just as I thought! I learned how to pop the balloon but I haven't mastered the technique yet. I want to get this to level 100 by the end of the night.'

Daichi decided to increase the intensity of the training. He stood up and went to take two balloons and then filled them up with water.

Kensei was surprised at this move. 'Is he going to use both hands?'

Daichi now had two water balloons. One in each palm. He concentrated and began spinning his chakra. He slowly increased the directions of the rotations in both palms. His chakra drained rapidly but he kept going.

Daichi's concentration level was far greater than someone his age. As he increased the directions of his chakra small bumps started forming on both the balloons.

'Almost there.'

He kept up the spin and the balloon on the right side popped but the balloon on the left remained without bursting.

Daichi looked at the intact balloon. 'I was almost there' He let out several exhausted breaths as his chakra was almost depleted.

Daichi put the intact water balloon down and started meditating. After half an hour he resumed his training.

Kensei watched Daichi push himself. 'This kid is relentless.'

Time flew by as Daichi trained the first step of the Rasengan. It was almost 8:30 in the night.

Daichi was standing in his backyard panting. He struggled to take his breaths and both his hands were trembling. But Daichi was chuckling as he stood there surrounded by dozens of destroyed water balloons.

In front of him were the stats of the chakra rotation skill. Several of his other chakra skills increased as well but Daichi had his eyes on the one skill that currently mattered to him.

"Finally! It's done! I've mastered the first step." Daichi suddenly swayed on his feet but Kensei appeared and steadied him.

"Well done kid! Time for you to rest." He slowly took Daichi inside the house. As he walked into his home he looked back at the destroyed balloons and then to the child in his arms in wonder.

'Incredible!'
