The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 102 - Sasuke's ordeal

Sasuke stared at Daichi with an almost unreadable expression. Almost...

Daichi was watching every minute expression that crossed the young Uchiha's face. Daichi saw the efforts Sasuke put into concealing his emotions. As he observed, he saw the tell tale signs of someone who was furious but trying hard to keep that emotion under wraps.

"What are you doing here Daichi?" There was an aggression to Sasuke's tone that he couldn't hide.

Daichi let out a short breath. "To meditate. I had something on my mind... And... This was also where I met a friend."

Sasuke was surprised by the slight downcast expression Daichi had as he said that. He knew most people didn't come here and those who did would most probably be from the Uchiha clan.

"Who?" He couldn't help but ask.

Daichi looked at Sasuke and was contemplating whether or not to tell him. After a few seconds he made a choice.

"Ren... Ren Uchiha."

Sasuke's eyes widened. He didn't know that Daichi had befriended someone from his clan. As he stood there not knowing what to say, Daichi got up.

"I'll take my leave. Good day Sasuke." Daichi said, turned around and walked a few feet.

"Stop."

Sasuke's voice stopped Daichi in his tracks and he turned around to face the Uchiha. He said nothing and waited for the other to speak.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Fight me." He all but shouted.

It was something Daichi half expected. 'So damn predictable. He's the same. The only difference is I took Naruto's place... Something I have no interest in.'

"Sasuke, you should know the outcome of that fight already! So why?"

"I know you're stronger than me right now. But I want to know... just how much stronger you are... Fight me and don't hold back."

Daichi looked at Sasuke for a few seconds and replied. "No!"

The Uchiha gritted his teeth and quickly tossed several shuriken at Daichi. The action was much quicker than what most from the academy, even in their last year, could achieve.

But Daichi saw every move the boy made. He saw Sasuke's hands move to the pouch on his thighs and the launch of shurikens, all with clarity in slow motion. Daichi sighed and took a single kunai and parried all the projectiles with ease. Daichi kept the same nonchalant expression on his face as he looked directly at Sasuke and parried his first attack wave.

Daichi looked at the boy. "You really want to get beat up that bad?"

"Let's see you try." Sasuke entered a stance and launched himself at his opponent.

Daichi stood with his left hand folded behind his back. He parried the fast and precise strikes with just his right arm.

Sasuke launched his strikes targeting different parts of Daichi's body. When Daichi blocked his fists, Sasuke sent a fast kick. Which got blocked by Daichi's leg. No matter what tactic was used, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't land a single successful hit nor could he budge Daichi an inch from where he stood.

The one thing Sasuke noticed was that Daichi was only defending himself. Just like the last time they fought and it only made him more furious.

"Fight back!!"

"I don't have to do anything you say." Daichi said as he tilted his head and dodged another fist.

Sasuke's blood boiled as he heard the cool dismissive tone in Daichi's voice. The young Uchiha was furious. He jumped back a few feet and looked at his enemy.
