October 17.

It was two days ago that his grandfather gave him the scrolls and his meeting with Ren Uchiha. After meeting the Uchiha, Daichi decided that it would be safer to test his jutsus in his own home.

Daichi was in his backyard training. He completed his daily tasks assigned by the quest and was now about to test out the three jutsus his grandfather had given him. He had spent the last day learning everything written down on the scroll and memorizing every detail about the techniques. He acquired the ninjutsu skills 'Great fireball jutsu', ‘Rock shelter jutsu’ and Lightning style ‘Overdrive’.  

The first jutsus he was gonna try out was the Fireball Jutsu. 

Fire Style - Great Fireball Jutsu - Active(LV.1): A jutsu where the chakra kneaded in the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous stream of flames. The released flames, if strong enough, will engulf and vaporize the target and leave a crater on the ground's surface.

Rank: C

Type: Ninjutsu

Hand Seals: Tiger - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger

CP Cost: 308 Per shot.

[Note: The range and power of the attack can be altered by controlling the chakra kneaded into the attack.]

He stood near a large pond in the clearing behind his house. His hands rapidly formed the necessary seals. Daichi built up his chakra and focused it to a point in his chest. And then forced it up through the throat and out the mouth. 

"Fire style - Great Fireball Jutsu."

A stream of red hot flame came from his mouth and instantly formed into a ball. The red flaming sphere was around twice Daichi's size and flew forward for several meters. Daichi kept up the jutsu for about a dozen seconds before cutting off its chakra and letting it die out instantly.

The pond had several trails of steam wafting from its surface. As he took several breaths of air, he saw blue system message boxes popping up. 

You have used your first fire nature jutsu.

You have acquired the skill Fire affinity. 

Fire affinity - (Active/Passive)(LV.1): Fire Release is one of the five basic nature transformations. It is commonly affiliated with Tiger hand-seal. At higher levels the user can control the shape, size and intensity of the flames. Once this skill crosses Level 90, the user can combine it with other nature affinities which have also crossed Level 90.

Effects: 2% Increase in fire attack jutsu.

              2% Increase in fire defense jutsu.

              5% Increase in success when creating fire style jutsu.

               1% Decrease in Chakra cost when using fire style jutsu.

'Not bad. This nature is excellent for creating offense techniques. A perfect element for attacks of any range. Ok! 3 chakra natures down. Two more to go.'

Daichi thought about the next jutsu he was going to use. He walked towards the small barren terrain a few meters away. The next jutsu he was going to test out was of the Earth chakra nature. His primary affinity.

Earth Style - Rock Shelter Jutsu - With this jutsu the user surrounds themselves with earth taken from the immediate vicinity without leaving the terrain unaltered. The created rock formation is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity if needed.

Rank: C.

Type: Ninjutsu

Hand Seals: Snake - Rabbit - Ram.

CP Cost: 200 Per Use.

[Note: After this skill passes above Level 40 the user can manipulate the defense formation to his desires.]

"It seems due to earth being my primary affinity the chakra cost of this jutsu is much less than the others. Well time to test it out."

He quickly went through the three hand seals and then slammed his palms into the ground. 

"Earth style - Rock Shelter Jutsu."

Daichi could feel his chakra quickly spreading through the earth and he could sense the shift in the rocks beneath and around him. A rock wall burst out of the ground in front of him and took the form of a half dome. 

The use of the jutsu left the terrain unchanged even with the new rock formation. It was a sturdy defense wall strong enough to withstand a couple of attacks from an average level shinobi. 

As expected, once he successfully completed the jutsu, new notification boxes appeared.

You have used your first Earth nature jutsu.

You have acquired the skill Earth affinity. 

Earth affinity - (Active/Passive)(LV.1): Earth Release is one of the five basic nature transformations. It is commonly affiliated with Tiger hand-seal. At higher levels the user can control the several minerals saturating the earth. Once this skill crosses Level 90, the user can combine it with other nature affinities which have also crossed Level 90. Primary affinity of the 'Player'.

Effects: 6% Increase in earth attack jutsu.

              6% Increase in earth defense jutsu.

              30% Increase in success when creating earth style jutsu.

               6% Decrease in Chakra cost when using earth style jutsu.

Daichi looked at the new affinity skill he received. He went over the effects of the skill and saw that they were much higher than that of the other affinity skill. 'It must be because earth is my main element. So of course using it would be easier than the rest.'

Daichi walked around the earthen structure and looked at it. It was time to test the last jutsu. And this dome was a perfect test dummy for Daichi.  He went over the details of the jutsu in his mind. 

Unlike the other 4 jutsus, this particular jutsu does not shoot an attack or affect the surroundings but rather help the user. A simple speed and power enhancing lightning style technique. 

Lightning Style - Overdrive - Active(LV.1): This jutsu allows the user to change his chakra to lightning nature and channel it throughout the body to speed up the signals that are sent from the brain to the muscles to increase the user's striking speed. This jutsu also gives the user cutting capabilities from barehanded attacks. Increases the speed of the punches, kicks and the like by several times. 

Rank: C.

Type: Ninjutsu.

Hand Seals: Snake - Bird - Dragon.

CP Cost: 230 Per use.

[Note: Overuse of this skill before precise control over lightning nature affinity can cause muscle and nerve damage along with rupture of weak and small blood vessels.]

Daichi took a breath and went through the hand seals. 'Snake - Bird - Dragon.'

"Lightning style - Overdrive jutsu."

The moment Daichi completed the hand seals his body was covered in several small thin streaks of lightning. When Daichi concentrated, most of the lightning started to concentrate around his arms. 

Daichi punched and kicked the air a few times to test the reaction speed and capabilities of the jutsu. He decided that it was time to test it out on something solid. 

He spread his legs to center himself and then prepared for a punch. He pulled his arm back and then shot it several times faster than what he was capable of. He landed a solid punch on the rock dome. The increased strength and speed allowed him to punch several inches into the rock and create spider web shaped cracks on the portion of the dome where his fist landed. 

The stone dome was about a dozen inches thick. Yet Daichi was able to punch halfway through the defense formation in his first try. The result of this test had Daichi scratching his head for a few moments.

He didn't know whether his lightning attack was too weak to go completely through the defense wall or whether his earth dome wasn't strong enough to stop an attack before it reached halfway into the rock shield.

Daichi cut off the chakra flow to his jutsu. He was feeling a tingling sensation all over his body. And he felt like he could taste metal in his mouth. 

You have used your first lightning nature jutsu.

You have acquired the skill Lightning affinity.

Once this skill crosses Level 85 the user can manipulate some form of electricity dwelling in all matter known as Charged Particles. This will boost the user's lightning powers several times. Once this skill crosses Level 90, the user can combine it with other nature affinities which have also crossed Level 90.

Effects: 2% Increase in Lightning attack jutsu.

              2% Increase in Lightning defense jutsu.

              5% Increase in success when creating Lightning style jutsu.

               1% Decrease in Chakra cost when using Lightning style jutsu.

'Hmm. This lightning jutsu will be good as a supplementary technique. But I'll have to see to it that I don't over do it…' 

'Finally. Now I have all the affinity skills. But if I try to master all 5 at the same time I won't get the results I want anytime soon. I need to concentrate on two chakra natures. Maybe three… Hmm what should they be?'

Daichi sat down cross legged and thought about it logically. He weighed the strengths and weaknesses of each nature and came to a conclusion.

'My first choice would obviously be earth. It's my primary affinity and it's the element surrounding me most.’ 

‘The second choice would be lightning. Earth chakra nature is weak against lightning. So when I use earth jutsu people will try to counter with lightning. I need absolute mastery over lightning to avoid getting into trouble and maybe even take them by surprise.’ 

‘What should be my third choice? A powerful attack element. Fire seems like an excellent choice. Fire has the power to keep someone warm at night and at the same time to burn everything to ash. It creates and destroys. A truly unpredictable element.’ 

Daichi decided that the main three chakra natures he would focus on would be the earth, lightning and fire. He decided to do research on these chakra natures. 

‘I'll train the remaining two but I won't put much focus on it. Not till I completely master these three anyway. I need to see if the old man has any books on these natures. If not I'll have to head to the library.’

—----------------------------------------------------------------------

Time went by quickly. Daichi spent his days going to the academy and researching topics related to chakra and jutsus. Daichi had made a balance between Academic work, training and taking a couple days off to rest and relax every two weeks. 

But he wasn't the only one training hard. Days passed in the blink of an eye for Daichi. It was soon February 15. He was currently in the middle of a sparring match in the academy grounds.

Daichi avoided the swift kick to the head and tried to sweep his opponent off his feet. His enemy jumped dodging the attack and retaliated with several fast punches. Daichi blocked all of them but he was surprised at the speed and power behind them.

'It looks like I'm not the only one training to go beyond their limits. His strength and speed have increased a bit from the last time. Not enough to force me to go all out but definitely enough to keep me on my toes…Not bad Sasuke. Guess now that he's number two he has someone to compare and measure his strength.’

Daichi was concentrating on the fight even while he had these thoughts. He wouldn't let his guard down against anyone or anything. A lesson he learned in the dungeon. Which was why he was able to successfully evade a jab to the throat, and side step a fist to the face. 

'He's gotten a lot more focused and aggressive than the last time we fought. And the look on his face… Yeah he wants to beat me badly. Time to end this.'

Daichi evaded Sasuke's several attacks and got in close. He threw a fast punch that took the wind out of the Uchiha and then landed a powerful open palm strike that had enough force to push Sasuke out of the ring. Sasuke fell to one knee coughing. 

"Match over. Winner Daichi. Now make the Seal of Reconciliation, you two." 

Sasuke glared at Daichi. He was furious that he had lost another match. He slowly got up and went to the ring. Both Daichi and Sasuke slowly bought their hands to make the seal but halfway through Sasuke made a move to grab Daichi's shirt. And Daichi held his hand stopping him midway. Both of them had a serious expression.

Daikoku sensei stepped forward. "That's enough you two! The fight is over. Let go and make the Seal." 

Both Daichi and Sasuke stared at each other and then relaxed their hands. They made the seal but everyone could see that neither one was happy to do it. Daikoku sensei sighed as he looked at his two most competitive students.

The next Taijutsu match started as Daichi looked on. 'Is it just me or did I somehow replace Naruto as his rival or something? That's a problem I don't want anything to do with.' 

Daichi used 'observe' on Sasuke.

[LV.14] [Sasuke Uchiha]

Age: 6

HP: 1431  CP: 1300

[Sasuke Uchiha is the son of the Uchiha clan head Fugaku and his wife Mikoto. He is the youngest of two children. He is a happy child eager to please and be worthy of his clan name. He wants to surpass his older brother Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha has a vast amount of hidden potential and talent. He loathes you and trains hard everyday to become strong enough to defeat you and impress his father. He has a powerful chakra that is currently dormant.]

Reading the information, Daichi felt like he wanted to slam his head into a tree. 'Nooo… I don't want to deal with his problems. That's what Naruto is here for… God damn it.' 

Soon it was the middle of March. The final report cards were given and the students were given a two week break. Daichi maintained his top spot amongst his classmates. Classes for the second term ended and thus Daichi completed his first year in the academy.
