With the three enemies killed, Daichi resumed his journey into the jungle.

'Since there are ninjas made from the Nara clan and Kurama clan then it stands to reason that I'll encounter ninjas from other clans as well. This might be a good opportunity for me to learn how they fight first hand. Watching something from a story and experiencing it are two different things after all.'

He then looked at the new skill he acquired.

Linked Kill Strikes - Active(LV.1): This skill activates once 10 fast consecutive strikes are landed on the enemy. After the 10th strike each attack deals additional damage to the enemy. This skill also increases the speed of the user.

Note: Delay in between each strike cannot be more than 1 second.

Effects: +1% Increase to Agility.

+2% Increase in damage when using swords, daggers or other sharp weapons.

+(n+1)% Increase to damage dealt for each additional strike. 'n' represents the last consecutive attack landed on the enemy.

'Wow. This is one awesome sweet skill. It slightly increases my agility. But the last effect of this skill... (n+1)% increase in damage...So unless I'm not mistaken then once the skill activates, the first strike lands 2% additional damage and the second strike lands 3% and 3rd deals 4% damage and so on. So theoretically if I land about 20 strikes then this skill would deal an additional damage of 21%... '

'And this is only the first level. If I increase the level of this skill it would be even more powerful... Excellent.'

Daichi became happy with the results of his first fight. He set his sights on the trees ahead and slowly moved.

Daichi carefully walked through the woods. Hours slowly passed and it was starting to get dark. It was then that Daichi noticed two red dots moving slowly towards him on his map. Daichi slowed down and prepared himself. Suddenly Daichi heard the sound of trees getting crushed and looked ahead. Out of the darkness a black spiraling body came directly at him at high speeds.

Before the attacker could drill through him Daichi sidestepped and got out of the way. But he didn't escape unscathed. "Ahh..."

-132 HP

His shirt got torn and there were several bleeding lines on his chest. Luckily they were nothing serious. Before Daichi could take a look at his enemy he disappeared. He quickly looked at the map and saw that his attacker had slowed down and was now moving from behind him to a new location.

'He's trying to ambush me again.'

Daichi got ready. And just as he predicted the enemy attacked once more. The enemy ninja shot at Daichi intending to drill through him. Daichi successfully escaped without injuries this time and he noticed something. The enemy drilled through trees and rocks behind Daichi and disappeared into the darkness once more.

'This guy is moving in a straight line. His speed is impressive but he can't maneuver or change his direction. I think I have an idea who my next opponent is and what technique he's using.'

Daichi kept an eye on his Mini-Map. He noticed that the enemy ninja was getting ready for a third strike. Sweat trickled down Daichi's face as he got ready to make his move.

He suddenly heard the winds howling as he saw the enemy coming at him fast. Daichi stepped out of the line of attack while going through several hand-seals. Just as the enemy was about to reach where he stood a second ago Daichi launched his attack.
