The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Chapter 234: Powerful Growth 02

January 1st.

[+1 Dexterity]

[+1 Strength]

Daichi was in his backyard completing his morning exercises and training. Once he was done with his workout he quickly freshened up and created a shadow clone.

The clone looked at its creator and spoke. "Since the old man's away for the day, and Kakashi is on a mission of his own, we have a little over 24 hours all to ourselves. So now is the best time. We need to complete the academy dungeon today."

"I know. I need to increase my Mana stats and skills. We need to move on Orochimaru's base before the Chunin exams take place in June. I'll be focusing on stealth skills and my Mana abilities. You stay here and meditate. I'm gonna need the energy when I get back."

The clone nodded and sat under a tree. The real Daichi closed his eyes and activated the Mana body Armor.

[Skill Mana Body Armor is activated.]

The gamer ninja felt his Mana energy coat his whole body.

'With this skill I'll be able to evade chakra detection and other pesky invasive jutsus and move around more freely.'

He activated the secondary ability of the Mana Armor and made himself invisible. Without wasting another second Daichi rushed out of his house and made his way to the academy. The Genin, even though was moving fast, made sure his movements didn't cause any disturbance to his surroundings.

Within 5 minutes he reached the academy and quickly entered the dungeon. He was invisible to the enemy ninjas and Daichi quickly moved to a secluded spot. He looked at the Mana spent and nodded to himself. 'Just as I thought. 650 MP used in just 5 minutes. I need to increase the level of the skill and reduce the Mana cost. My focus should be on stealth and increasing my stats.'

Daichi kept the current skill active as he moved through the dungeon. The Genin ninja targeted enemies that were alone. Daichi's strategy was to restrain them and use the Mind Drain and Life Return skills as much as he could.

The first enemy Daichi attacked since his return into the dungeon was a ninja 10 levels below him. And thus its stats were weaker and the effects of Daichi's skills were weakened as well.

[Skill Mind Drain is activated]

[Skill Life Return is activated]

[+1 Vitality]

[+125 HP]

[+1 Intelligence]

[+100 MP]

.

[+200 Exp.]

[+30 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [711/1125]

'Weaker enemies would only get me 2 stat points total and Life return has a 2 hour cool down period. Hmm Using it on higher level ninjas with greater health points is the best way I can use this right now. But since Mind Drain has no cool down time I will be able to abuse that skill.'

Having made a decision the Genin created multiple shadow clones. They didn't use Mana skills to mask their presence but used the stealth skill.

"You know what to do. Eliminate any ninja 10 Levels below us. They'll just waste our time. Restrain any on the same level or below but evade higher level ninjas. Make sure to lure your targets into a secure location."

The clones nodded and vanished in all directions.

The real Daichi chuckled to himself. 'Feels like I'm some kind of general commanding an army.'

The Genin let out a deep breath of air and his eyes sharpened. The next second he too vanished from his spot.

-

Daichi was perched atop the academy building in the dungeon. He was hidden from the enemy ninjas that roamed around the place. He had been battling in the dungeon for a few hours now.

The gamer ninja took a look at the stats and frowned. 'All of my primary stats are going up except chakra. Moving forward I'm going to need a ton of chakra, especially if I want to fight with Naruto and others like him with massive reserves. I need to get the Chakra stat to go up But how? I tried absorbing chakra from these guys like with Life Return skill and Mana Drain but that's not working. So how do I get around this problem?'

Daichi wanted to improve his chakra reserves and created a new skill Chakra Absorption. It's a skill that takes chakra from the enemies upon contact and temporarily increases his CP. The advantage of this skill is that it has no cool down but the disadvantage is that it has no effect on the chakra stat and doesn't improve it.

'I've used the skill over 5 times now on different enemies but all I get is a boost in CP but no stats. So what am I missing?'

Daichi began comparing the Chakra absorption skill to the other two and after several minutes he had a few theories in mind.

'I need to experiment with this skill.' He created a shadow clone and dispelled it, sending his thoughts to his clones spread all around the dungeon.

While he waited for the results from his clones, the boy headed to a nearby location and looked at a tied up enemy ninja courtesy of his shadow clone. Without wasting time Daichi activated the three energy draining skills.

[Skill Mind Drain is activated]

[Skill Life Return is activated]

[Skill Chakra Absorption is activated]

[+1 Vitality]

[+176 HP]

[+1 Intelligence]

[+108 MP]

[+520 CP]

In just a couple minutes the enemy ninja was completely drained of his chakra, vitality and mental energy and the dungeon ninja vanished into smoke.

[+250 Exp.]

[+37.5 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [723/1125]

Daichi sighed in slight disappointment as he saw the results. 'Still no chakra stats I'll just have to keep trying.'

Daichi was moving through the hallways in the academy when new memories from one of his clones came to him. Daichi stopped in his tracks and a smile threatened to form on his face.

'No. This I need to make sure this is the method.'

The Genin ninja immediately found an enemy but this time his target seemed to be expecting him and was ready for a fight.

Daichi avoided several shuriken and jumped to the ceiling to avoid a small fireball that destroyed a portion of the hallway. The Genin vanished from his spot and got behind the enemy and stabbed him with a dagger but the next second a log with several paper bombs attached was in the enemy's place.

'Ok this guy is good.'

Daichi jumped through the nearby window just as the explosion went off. He immediately sensed multiple incoming projectiles and took several shuriken and hurled them at the incoming ninja stars. He was able to successfully deflect the weapons coming for him and was able to quickly stick to the wall of the building.

[+1 Dexterity]

Daichi and the enemy ninja stood on the wall of the dungeon academy and just stared at each other. The Genin used his 'observe' skill and saw that the guy was 10 levels above him with abnormally high stats.

Daichi grinned as he looked at his foe. 'It's been a while since I've had a challenge. Let's see what you can do.'

Both ninjas vanished and engaged in fast combat. In their Taijutsu battle Daichi had the upper hand due to his vast array of skills and high stats but the enemy ninja was still holding his own.

The dungeon ninja parried and deflected a powerful punch from Daichi and swiftly counterattacked. He sent fast, precise taps on the boy's right shoulder and triceps.

[Temporary Debuff - Right arm paralyzed.]

Daichi's eyes widened in surprise. 'Shit. My right arm is numb and my muscles stiffened. This guy knows pressure and nerve point attacks.'

The enemy ninja seized the opportunity and quickly grabbed Daichi's arm and took him off his feet. He spun the Genin around and tossed him high up in the air and immediately weaved through seals.

Daichi recognized the seals being made and knew what jutsu the enemy was going to use. Immediately flooding healing chakra throughout his chest and right arm, Daichi regained full function of his paralyzed limb.

At that moment the enemy ninja made the final seal and took a deep breath of air. The next second he exhaled and a Fire dragon headed straight for Genin who was still in the air. Daichi immediately went through several seals as the large fire dragon with its jaws open was coming straight towards him.

The atmosphere around Daichi immediately changed with water molecules quickly gathering and condensing. He made the final seal for his own jutsu a powerful water current was present around Daichi. The water exploded and quickly formed a blue dragon.

'Water style - Water Dragon Jutsu.'

The water dragon clashed with the fire dragon but Daichi's jutsu quickly got the upper hand. Steam erupted but Daichi's jutsu was still active and rushed towards the enemy ninja.

The dungeon ninja jumped and escaped from his spot just as the blue dragon crashed and destroyed a section of the academy building.

[Ninjutsu Water Style - Water Dragon Jutsu has leveled up.]

Daichi was keeping a close eye on the man with his Mana Scout. He let go of his jutsu and quickly followed his enemy. Adding lighting to his limbs, Daichi increased his speed and caught up with his foe.

"You're good. But you won't get another chance like that."

Daichi rushed at the man and used the same tactic. He attacked the enemy's nerve bundles and pressure points and crippled the enemy's power. "You're not the only one who can use nerve strikes."

Disabling both arms of the dungeon ninja, Daichi used a lightning jutsu and quickly paralyzed him. "It's a shame I used Life Return before meeting you. I have a feeling I would have gotten two or three stats from you with that skill alone."

Daichi activated Mind Drain and Chakra absorption. This time when he used chakra absorption he was going to test out the new method one of his clones came up with.

'Each person's chakra is different. When an ordinary person uses a chakra absorbing technique they only get a small portion of the chakra taken from their enemy. The rest is lost. That's mainly due to their poor chakra control and chakra incompatibilities. And even the chakra boost they get is temporary. This foreign chakra won't be added to their reserves. But for me it's not the same case. I can use their chakra to increase my own reserves. My only problem was figuring out the how.'

When Daichi began absorbing the chakra from the enemy he used his senses and made note of the form, nature and properties of the chakra. The medic ninja skillfully transformed the foreign chakra to be compatible with his own chakra and he began directing the absorbed chakra into his heart.

'The heart is one of the most vital organs in the body and a key piece in chakra production in the body. If my theory is right then'

A few moments after Daichi began absorbing the changed foreign chakra into his heart a new system message appeared that made Daichi grin wide.

[+1 Chakra]

"Fuck Yeah!" The Genin couldn't help but shout out in glee.

Daichi kept using his skill and soon he had 2 more points in Chakra stat, 2 in intelligence and 1 in wisdom. The enemy ninja fell unconscious from the energy drain and Daichi quickly ended him.

[+204 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [726/1125]

At that moment several new notifications came in front of Daichi.

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

[Through continuously transforming chakra and making it more compatible, the skill 'Chakra Transmutation' has been created.]

[Chakra Transmutation - Active (LV. 01): This is an active skill that helps the user in making it easier to sense the nature and properties of someone's chakra and transform it into a compatible state with the user's chakra. This skill also helps the user with transferring one's chakra to another. When this skill is used in conjunction with Chakra Absorption skill, it allows the player to increase his Primary stat: Chakra.]

[Note: Must be in contact with the target for 5 seconds for the skill to activate. This time will be reduced at higher levels.]

[Effects:]

[Easier chakra transmutation and chakra transfer.]

[CP cost : 10/sec for as long as the skill is active.]

Daichi grinned as he looked at the skill details. "Oh you're gonna come in handy so much. No cool down time. Perfect."

Moments later he calmed down and thought about his situation. He had used 'Observe' on Naruto the last time he saw him and took note of the blonde Jinchuriki's chakra points.

'As absurd as it is, Naruto's chakra point is already above 700,000. All because of the mountain sized fox his father put inside him. And it's increasing day by day. At the beginning when I joined the academy my reserves were higher than his but now in just a couple years he surpassed and even went far beyond me. Well in terms of chakra reserves anyway. But even so, I can't just let him get ahead. I need tailed beast level reserves. Since I'm here in this world, who knows what kind of butterfly effect I caused and when shit will hit the fan. I need to be ready.'

Daichi had a plan in mind to achieve a massive boost in chakra but he needed to make preparations first.

-

Daichi took his time completing the academy dungeon. He could only spend 24 hours inside before he had to exit the dungeon. Moreover the dungeon had a cool down time of 3 hours. A total of 7 hours was needed for one dungeon run and reset.

The Genin after completing a dungeon run would go straight home and sleep to restore his Mana. Thanks to the clones he had at home Daichi recovered quickly and once the cool down for the dungeon was over he would start all over again. Many skills leveled up including the few hidden jutsu he plundered earlier.

His stats gained a major boost and he even got a new skill as his intelligence stat reached 300.

[Intelligence stat has reached 300.]

[MP formula is revised]

[You have gained the new skill Parallel Processing.]

'Finally. So my assumptions were right. I had a feeling that Parallel Processing skill was something I would get when Intelligence stat reached 300 or 500 I've been trying to get this skill for a long time but no matter what I did I could never get this to show up. But now This will help me a great deal. Especially with the new jutsu I want to create.'

[Parallel Processing - Active(LV. MAX): An active skill given to the player when Intelligence has reached 300. This skill gives the user the ability to carry out multiple thought processes and calculations at the same time. In active state this skill helps the user in consciously focusing and being fully aware of multiple targets, tasks, locations, dangers, etc without any trouble or confusion.

[Note: Has a limit to how many thoughts the user can perform at once. But this limitation can be removed with higher stats in Intelligence.]

[MP cost: 120MP/min.]

'Not bad. Not bad at all Not only did I get several new skills and plundered several ninjutsu and Genjutsu, I reached Level 61. In just one day I got a whole lot stronger. Definitely worth the grind.'

Daichi went into the dungeon 3 times to complete it since he was more focused on improving his skills and increasing his stats. But it was worth it. He made great progress in just a single day.

[Quest 'Complete the Academy dungeon' is completed.]

[Rewards]

[New Skill: Body Freeze Jutsu.]

[New Title: Dungeon Master.]

[250000Ryo]

Daichi opened the skill list and checked out the details of the new jutsu and title.

'Hmm The Body Freeze jutsu is a A Rank jutsu used for restraining shinobi even near Level 90. That's going to come in handy. It seems the Dungeon Master title allows me to manipulate the time I spend in the dungeon. Based on this I can increase the time of the Location dungeon from 24 to 48 hours. But there won't be any change in the time ratio and cooldown needed. At least it's something'

'Well, whatever. This was a productive dungeon nonetheless. Time to check out my stats.' Daichi opened his status page.

Satisfied with his progress, Daichi headed home with a big smile. It was dawn as Daichi left the Academy dungeon under the protection of his Mana Body Armor.

'Gramps should be back in a few hours. I better get some breakfast ready for him.'

Daichi took a short nap and then prepared some food for his grandfather. Time went by and soon Kensei arrived home. The moment the Genin saw the old man he frowned. There was a sad look on Kensei's face as he looked at his grandson.

"What's wrong, Gramps?"

The old veteran ninja sighed and replied. "Daichi, I need your help It's Jin. He's in a serious state. It's not looking good."
