Chapter 163: One step forward
Daichi slowly walked through the streets of the village. It was a full moon night and the road was illuminated in silver light. He thought about what Kakashi said.
'So Orochimaru is coming for me? He must have learned of my existence during my time at the capital. I healed plenty of people after all and there were many who knew that I'm her apprentice Looks like I need to prepare for him.'
Daichi thought about the best way to fight one of the most dangerous Sannin. 'He'll most likely toy with me at first and that will be my best chance to land a fatal blow. But he has the special substitution jutsu that can heal his injuries. So how do I get around that?'
As Daichi thought this through, the answer quickly came to his mind. 'Wind style Rasenshuriken.'
'In addition to dealing great damage to the body, that jutsu also attacks the cells and shreds the chakra network. He wouldn't be able to heal himself if he doesn't have access to chakra But I need something more. He's known for surviving even the most fatal blows. I can't let my guard down. I need something with similar firepower.'
As Daichi's mind went through a possibility of a combination jutsu he had an idea. 'A Fire Style Rasengan. If wind cuts, then fire burns and if this jutsu turns out like the Rasenshuriken, then its power would be incredible. It would no doubt burn the target to ash. And if I combine the Wind and Fire Rasengans and use a new combination technique'
A smile formed on Daichi's face as he had an idea as to what the jutsu would look like. 'I need to start working on this'
Just as soon as that crossed his mind his smile dimmed. 'But there is still the problem of jutsu backlash. My Gamer's Body will heal the negative effects after a night's sleep but I'm gonna need to learn to use Nature chakra to protect myself and further increase my strength. I wonder if the Tiger clan would have access to Nature chakra? I hope so Otherwise I'll have to look for alternative measures'
With several plans in mind Daichi made his way to his home. Kensei raised an eyebrow as he looked at his grandson and saw the obvious signs of a battle.
"What happened to you?"
"About that. I have good news and bad news."
Kensei kept silent and paid attention to Daichi.
"My sensei decided to put me through a survival exam so tough that I'm sure even some Jonin would fail. But I passed. That's the good news." Daichi said with a small smile.
Kensei's eyes narrowed. "And the bad news?"
"There is a chance that Orochimaru or one of his minions might come after me in the future." Daichi sighed and sat down.
Kensei let out a breath and leaned back in his chair. A few seconds of silence passed before Kensei spoke.
"We knew this was a possibility. But I didn't think it would happen Not so soon."
"Kakashi sensei didn't look all that worried. But that might be a facade he put on to make sure I'm not scared."
"Aren't you?" Kensei looked at his grandson. There was worry in his eyes. Having the attention of someone as dangerous as Orochimaru was a cause for concern.
Daichi let out a breath and looked up at the ceiling. "I'm slightly worried. He is dangerous. But I'm not terrified or anything like that. I'm not gonna let someone like him scare me." 'There are much scarier opponents I have to face in the future. Compared to them, Orochimaru is a joke.'
Kensei knew Daichi was fully aware of the threat someone like Orochimaru posed. And yet to hear his grandson speak such strong words. A small smile appeared on his face. 'Yes. No matter who it is, don't let yourself fall. And even if you do, I'll be here to help you get back up.'
"You're right. You should be cautious but never let fear rule you."
Daichi smiled and nodded to his grandfather. Daichi quickly got cleaned up and they had their dinner.

Daichi was in his room going through the numerous notifications.

'Wow. So releasing killing intent at that level increases this stat quickly huh. Excellent.'
Daichi had a smile on his face as he saw his improvements but the next system message Daichi read erased that smile.
[Warning!]
[Switching the Gamer's Mind Skill On and Off within the span of 3 ~ 4 hours can cause Damage to Psyche.]
[Time required between Turning the skill On/Off without receiving any negative side effects. 4Hrs.]
'I can't believe there's a restriction like this. It seems the system doesn't want me to use that loophole. The Gamer's Mind would protect me from any permanent damage to my mind but I should be careful moving forward.'
Daichi sat down on the ground and focused on his breathing. A minute later he was in meditation. Daichi concentrated and felt his emotions. He focused on his mind and tried to see if there was any damage. After an hour of meditation and sensing nothing wrong with himself he opened his eyes and began to go through the rest of the blue system message boxes.

As Daichi went through the notifications he saw something unexpected.
[You have Analyzed the fighting of your opponent and have reached sufficient understanding.]
[You have acquired a New Taijutsu style.]
[Shadow Layering Eight Extremities Fist - Active(LV.1): An advanced taijutsu style that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue a single or multiple targets who are armed or unarmed.

[5% Increase of chance in Landing critical strike.]
[2% Increase in attack power.]
[2% Increase in defense.]
[3% Increase in speed.]
[2% Decrease in damage taken.] [This has limitations depending on the Stats and level of your enemies]
'Oh wow. This is incredible. I must have learned this after using Analyze skill on Kakashi so much.'
Daichi's mind went through the different forms, stances and katas used during the battle. With the information Daichi acquired with Analyze skill, he was able to reconstruct the Taijutsu style and had an understanding of it.
'Hmm This Taijutsu style was also designed to supplement swordsmanship or small blades weapons during combat. And in case of absence of a weapon elbow strike, explosive short range power fists and leg strikes aimed to cripple are used. A lethal Taijutsu indeed I'll need to work on this. Ok what else?'

[Congratulations. You have encountered a Lucky break.]
[+2 Luck]
Reading this Daichi remembered the incident it was referring to. Kakashi was about to land a powerful strike that would have knocked him unconscious but at that moment a tree branch snapped and fell on the trap Kakashi rigged near their area and it was triggered. Kakashi had to dodge his own weapons and Daichi was able to make a quick escape.
Daichi opened the Luck stat and looked at the description.
[This stat also has a 0.001% chance to trigger a good luck moment every minute. This percentage increases with stat growth and during battle or luck based events the player is participating.]
'I need to increase my Luck stat. It triggered only once during the battle but it saved my life. It's one hell of a special stat.'
[+3 Vitality]
[+5 Agility]
[+2 Dexterity]
[+2 Strength]
[+6 Chakra]
[+3 Wisdom]
[+2 Intelligence ]
'Looks like almost all my stats got a good boost. With just one fight I've gotten a lot stronger. High intensity battle is the only way to get stronger.'
[Quest 'Pass the Survival Test' Completed.]
[Rewards:]
20000 Exp.
3000
[Reputation increases with Kakashi Hatake, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kensei Yasaji.]
Daichi then opened his status page and checked the progress.
'My Intelligence and Wisdom stats are the only ones from the Primary stats that's still below 200. Need to change that Well since I'm using points I might as well use some of them on the other stats as well.'
[Primary Stats]
Strength - 259 + 11
Vitality - 263 + 7
Dexterity - 215 + 15
Agility - 264 + 6
Intelligence - 182 +28
Chakra - 371 + 29
Wisdom - 180 + 30
Daichi used a total of 126 points to increase his primary stats. He felt the increase in strength and chakra throughout his body. 'If I keep going like this, I'll soon be able to complete the Strength of the Hundred seal.'
[Intelligence has passed 200 points. Negative side effects of overusing Mana are now removed.]
Daichi felt his mind become more powerful all of a sudden. It was as if an invisible weight that had gone unnoticed by him had been lifted off from his head.
'There are so many mind techniques I want to create. I can also use them to counter Sharingan and maybe even the Rinnegan. Let's see what my stats look like now.'
'Status'

[Ryo - 307188]
'I have about 600 points. I could use another 90 to increase Strength, Vitality and Agility to 300. Should I increase it and get the benefits of 300 stats now or wait '
Daichi weighed the pros and cons of such a choice. 'For the moment I'm relatively safe. I should train as much as I can and improve my stats. Then I'll increase it with points.'
'Looks like I'm going to hold off for the moment. It's getting more difficult to increase stats with training... Once it reaches 290 or at least 285 I'll put some points into them.'
The next thing Daichi checked was the progress of the Hundred strength seal.
[16743102/25000000]
'This is moving faster than anticipated. I sleep for 5 hours a day. So aside from the daily chakra given to the seal, I generate and redirect an additional 16800 CP and I use clones on most days to meditate and store chakra to the seal. So that's an additional 6000 plus All in all, things are moving well Looks like I'll be able to complete this in 4 to 5 months.'
Daichi laid on the bed and looked at the night sky through the window. 'I've come a long way since my first day. But there is still a long road ahead. And this adventure has only just begun for me.'
With a small smile Daichi soon went to sleep.
