Chapter 302: Dynamo Resonance
The large pink crystal dragon with glowing emerald eyes made a beeline for Daichi.
"Crystal style - Jade crystal dragon."
The unique and powerful jutsu followed the will of its creator and rushed towards the Leaf Genin. The young ninja stood still and seemed like he had no intention of taking any defensive action. In mere moments the dragon was upon Daichi and slammed into him, crushing him into the ground.
But the next instant Daichi turned into lightning and the blue electric current ripped through the dragon's head destroying the jutsu.
Guren narrowed her eyes as she saw the powerful lightning jutsu counter her bloodline. 'A lightning clone? When did he make that switch?'
She suddenly recalled what she did a minute ago. When she stopped the earth jutsu, she lost sight of Daichi for just a couple seconds. 'He made a clone and switched in just that short moment. To think he would take advantage to disappear in those few short seconds. His battle instincts and experience is much greater than I thought.'
Suddenly the earth under her feet quickly began to shift and instantly it turned to a raging mud whirlpool. But before Guren could lose her footing the ground under her quickly began to stabilize and became crystal.
'Trying to catch me with Earth jutsu again? It won't be so easy.' Her jutsu expanded for several meters before it stopped.
Almost at the same time she got out of Daichi's earth jutsu, a large stream of fire was coming towards her from above. She felt the light and strong heat coming from the jutsu and immediately made several seals.
"Crystal style - Crimson fruit."
A dome of pink crystal sprung out of the ground and surrounded Guren protecting her from the Fire style jutsu.
Meanwhile, as his clones attacked Guren, the real Daichi was studying her strengths and weaknesses from a short distance away. He was analyzing the way her chakra moved through the atmosphere and through the ground. How fast her jutsu could attack and how quickly she could defend. The speed, shape, density and durability of Guren's bloodline were all being tested by Daichi.
'I can see why Orochimaru once wanted her to be his vessel. A powerful bloodline that gives the user versatility, mobility, defense along with having high chakra. Any other Jonin would have had major troubles with her.'
Suddenly Daichi moved from his concealed position and jumped high onto a tree branch . Several crystal shuriken struck where he was a second ago.
"Did you really think you could hide from me?" Guren spoke as she looked at him.
"I wasn't hiding." With those words Daichi jumped from his spot and rushed towards Guren. The two quickly began engaging in a Taijutsu battle.
The blue haired ninja was slowly adjusting to Daichi's speed and she was able to defend against his attacks. But she still frowned as she fought against the boy half her size.
'Damn. I need my armor just to offset the power of his punches. He's targeting my vital organs. His Taijutsu skills are no joke.'
Daichi was also making mental notes on his enemy. 'The crystal acting as her armor is an inch thicker than before. It definitely increases her defense and attack power. It perfectly integrates with her hand to hand combat skills. Orochimaru trained her well. But still, that armor is also a weakness. The stronger the armor the less mobility she has.'
Guren gritted her teeth as she fought the boy. 'I can't use any of my lethal techniques against this brat or Lord Orochimaru will be angry. But this kid is so troublesome. Guess I need to use that.'
Guren immediately used all her strength and speed to get through Daichi's Taijutsu and kick him a few feet away. The next second she placed a hand on the ground and crystal spikes were created and flew towards Daichi. The sharp weapons surrounded and flew towards Daichi and his only escape route was to jump.
The Genin narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene. 'So that's your plan huh. I'll play along.'
"Crystal style - Expanded Crimson Fruit."
Daichi jumped into the air to avoid the lethal attacks but the next moment a giant red crystal dome appeared and rose up into the air and quickly covered the Genin. The speed of the jutsu execution was much greater than the others.
Soon the boy fell and touched the floor of the crystal jutsu. 'I'm trapped in this dome. This jutsu is much stronger than before.'
"I got you now brat." Guren let out a deep breath of air and grinned. Daichi looked at her and then turned his attention to 2 other people appearing out of the forest. The gamer ninja narrowed his eyes as he looked at the 3 identical figures.
'Crystal clones. So that's why the speed of the jutsu was faster than before. I can't sense Mana energy from these clones but I can sense chakra. To most others these clones may not be indistinguishable but you can't hide from me.'
Guren placed a hand on the dome and it began to shrink, till it was only two and a half meters tall. She smiled as she looked at the boy. "Now that I have you gift wrapped, time to get you to Lord Orochimaru."
Daichi was calm as he looked at the woman. "Do you really think you've caught me? I could be a clone."
Guren laughed and shook her head. "No. I know you're the real deal. I'm not like those other wastes."
Daichi too gave a small chuckle as he looked at her. "No. I suppose you're not." He quickly went through a few seals and spat a strong electric current from his mouth.
The strong jutsu hit the crystal wall and bounced back. Daichi dodged the electric current and stopped the jutsu.
"Hahaha… Do you think this is some ordinary jutsu? I made this to specifically counter your lightning techniques. This dome is harder, stronger and much more durable. It will reflect your jutsu long before it comes close to breaking. And it can repair itself when damaged. An unbreakable defense and prison."
Daichi noticed the few small scratches made by his lightning being repaired and disappearing quickly. He looked at the blue haired woman and nodded. "This is indeed a pretty useful technique. I need to create something similar when I get back home."
"That's assuming you get back." One of the Guren clones spoke.
"You won't escape that prison. Not without my permission." Another clone spoke.
Daichi only smiled as he looked at his enemies. He quickly went through multiple seals and finally clapped his palms together.
Guren was cautious as she looked at the Genin. 'What's this kid up to? Ninjutsu won't work. So what is he trying to do?'
Daichi's palms suddenly lit up with lightning chakra. The powerful lightning current began to spread and soon covered his arms up to his shoulder.
The Gamer ninja had no smile as she looked at the woman. "No jutsu is infallible. This technique has a weakness."
The lightning at the palms became stronger and sharper. The blue lightning chakra extending several inches from his fingernails.
Guren and her clones sensed the danger of the jutsu and didn't want to take any chances. They immediately placed their palms on the crystal to reinforce its strength and to restrain Daichi. Multiple crystal ropes suddenly sprung from the floor and side walls aimed at completely restraining Daichi but he disappeared.
Guren and her clones tilted their heads upwards as they saw the boy evade their jutsu and in the air near the ceiling.
"Hiya!" With a powerful thrust of both lightning hands to the same spot in the center of the roof, Daichi instantly broke through the jutsu and escaped.
"No way." Guren and her two clones were shocked at the turn of events.
Daichi appeared several meters away and stood with a smile. "See. Not so unbreakable is it?"
The blue haired woman gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at the boy. "How? How did you do that? There is no way a lightning jutsu would have been able to break through my technique."
The corner of Daichi's lips raised as he looked at her. "Oh? You want to know? Alright. I'll show you."
The next second Daichi vanished and appeared in front of one of the clones. He thrusted his right arm into her abdomen and instantly the clone shattered like glass. Daichi didn't waste time and appeared behind the second clone and swiped his left hand at her neck at incredible speed.
The head went flying and a moment later both the decapitated head and the headless body turned into pink crystals and shattered into tiny shards.
Daichi was using his speed skill in addition to chakra and sprint. Thus the real Guren couldn't even follow Daichi's new extraordinary speed. She only felt the chakra of her clones disappearing almost simultaneously.
'How did he…?' At that moment an emotion that had long been buried in Guren's heart slowly began to emerge. Fear.
"You're right." Daichi spoke as he looked at the crystal style user. "Normal lightning jutsu. No. Even stronger ones like chidori wouldn't have broken through your jutsu so easily. But lightning is only one part of the equation. The other is this."
With that Daichi raised his right hand and showed it to Guren. She observed carefully and immediately understood.
Daichi's hand was moving at super speed.
"Vibrations caused by super speed." Guren spoke as she looked at the boy.
"Very good." Daichi nodded. "Sharpened lightning chakra combined with super speed vibrations. Your jutsu was broken before it could even be repaired. I call it 'Lightning Style - Dynamo Resonance.' One of the several new jutsu I created to deal with annoyances like you." Daichi canceled the jutsu and the smile vanished from his face.
[Ninjutsu Lightning Style - Dynamo Resonance Jutsu has leveled up.]
The woman gathered her chakra and was ready for another attack from the Genin.
The gamer ninja looked at her and sighed. "I could have killed you just now. You know that right?"
Guren snorted after hearing that. "So what? All you did was waste a perfect opportunity. You won't get a chance like that. I'll see to it."
"Hmph. You can't kill me. Orochimaru wants me alive and relatively in one piece. That much I understood during our battle. So that limits you from using more lethal jutsus. I have no such problems."
Guren smirked. "Don't bluff kid. I can't kill you but the same goes for you as well. You can't kill me. Because I have the intel you need."
Daichi nodded. "True. But you forgot one thing. I am a god damn medic ninja. An excellent one at that. I can take you to the brink of death and keep you alive for as long as I need to get what I want."
"Then let's see you try brat!"
[You have sensed killing intent.]
No more words were exchanged as the two resumed their heated battle. Daichi rushed forward with a straight punch with concentrated chakra but Guren countered with a defensive red wall.
She sent out a chakra wave almost instantly, an impenetrable large red crystal wall appeared. Daichi's strong punch caused cracks to spread like spider webs but Guren quickly made seals and the damage was repaired.

The next moment several red sharp crystal spears flew from the defensive jutsu. Daichi evaded and created four shadow clones.
The two clones bypassed the defensive wall and stood on either side of Guren. The second Daichi created them, the four clones were weaving signs as they moved into position.
Each one of them had a different seal at the end.
"Fire style - Fire Dragon jutsu."
"Wind style - Great breakthrough."
The two shadow clones on the right fired Wind style and Fire style jutsus while the clones on the left…
"Water style - Water dragon jutsu."
"Lightning style - Thunderbolt Surge."
The two pairs of clones molded their chakra and used the jutsu in perfect harmony so that they would seamlessly combine and become stronger.
Guren's mind was running a mile a minute. 'Even before I could move to a defensive position his clones were ready to attack. If I jump and escape, he'll attack me directly. If I move underground he'll just use earth jutsu to counter me. I can't use substitution. He'll just attack me again. My only choice is to block.'
Guren made a seal and the red defense wall behind her quickly began to curve and spread around her. It effectively shielded her from the two powerful combination jutsus.
Boom!
A powerful blast was heard throughout the forest sending wind and dust flying. Due to the dust and debris visibility was reduced considerably. But Daichi's senses were all on high alert.
He sensed multiple projectiles coming and quickly took a kunai and deflected the crystal weapons.
A couple of wind jutsu from the shadow clones cleared the battle field and Daichi saw the woman on one knee panting heavily. 'I knew it. The most logical thing would be to use substitution to take risk or escape underground but she wouldn't do that. Her pride wouldn't allow her to run scared from someone like me.'
Guren looked at Daichi with surprise and horror. 'Earth, Lightning, Water, Wind, Fire. He can use all 5 natures? That should be impossible for someone his age. No matter how much of a genius he is… And to use such chakra consuming jutsu like that one after another… This kid… He's…'
"Matter and energy." Daichi suddenly spoke as he stared at Guren. "You can crystallize matter. Earth, Wind and Water. But you can't crystallize energy. Like Fire and lightning. That's why those jutsus were more effective against you."
Guren couldn't believe it. 'He already figured it out.'
"But there is one more weakness." Daichi said, raising his index finger. "If you combine compatible matter and energy chakra natures then those techniques will also be useful against you. The energy will disrupt your crystallization on the matter and the jutsu will be more powerful."
Guren stood and looked at the boy with widened eyes. 'A genius ninja with great potential. He's only 12 and he's already stronger than me. This is why Lord Orochimaru changed his plans and took such big risks.'
Daichi saw new determination burning in Guren's eyes.
The blue haired woman looked at Daichi with renewed fighting intent. 'Now more than ever I'm certain. If Lord Orochimaru can use this child as a vessel then he'll be unstoppable. Combined with wood style jutsu he'll stand at the top of this world one day. More than anything, I want that to happen… I'll have to activate the curse seal on those 6. Activating it so soon will have adverse effects but this mission is far more important than them.'
"I'm going to give you a chance. A mercy you wouldn't have shown me if I was in your shoes." Daichi suddenly spoke as he looked at her. "Surrender and tell me everything about Orochimaru and where my sensei is and I'll let you go."
Guren spat on the ground and clenched her fists in fury. "I'll never betray my Lord. I'll die before I talk."
Daichi looked at her and let out a small breath of air. "Very well."
Guren wanted to activate the curse seals on her subordinates and quickly brought her hands to form the needed seals. But before she could even make the first hand sign, she felt a strong current flowing through her neck and she was paralyzed. A moment later she lost vision and fell to the ground unconscious.
She saw the vague image of Daichi's clone and the last thought was wondering how it got behind her without her knowing.
