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

Chapter 163 - One step forward

Daichi slowly walked through the streets of the village. It was a full moon night and the road was illuminated in silver light. He thought about what Kakashi said.

'So Orochimaru is coming for me? He must have learned of my existence during my time at the capital. I healed plenty of people after all and there were many who knew that I'm her apprentice... Looks like I need to prepare for him.'

Daichi thought about the best way to fight one of the most dangerous Sannin. 'He'll most likely toy with me at first and that will be my best chance to land a fatal blow. But he has the special substitution jutsu that can heal his injuries. So how do I get around that?'

As Daichi thought this through, the answer quickly came to his mind. 'Wind style Rasenshuriken.'

'In addition to dealing great damage to the body, that jutsu also attacks the cells and shreds the chakra network. He wouldn't be able to heal himself if he doesn't have access to chakra... But I need something more. He's known for surviving even the most fatal blows. I can't let my guard down. I need something with similar firepower.'

As Daichi's mind went through a possibility of a combination jutsu he had an idea. 'A Fire Style Rasengan. If wind cuts, then fire burns and if this jutsu turns out like the Rasenshuriken, then its power would be incredible. It would no doubt burn the target to ash. And if I combine the Wind and Fire Rasengans and use a new combination technique...'

A smile formed on Daichi's face as he had an idea as to what the jutsu would look like. 'I need to start working on this...'

Just as soon as that crossed his mind his smile dimmed. 'But there is still the problem of jutsu backlash. My Gamer's Body will heal the negative effects after a night's sleep but... I'm gonna need to learn to use Nature chakra to protect myself and further increase my strength. I wonder if the Tiger clan would have access to Nature chakra? I hope so... Otherwise I'll have to look for alternative measures...'

With several plans in mind Daichi made his way to his home. Kensei raised an eyebrow as he looked at his grandson and saw the obvious signs of a battle.

"What happened to you?"

"About that. I have good news and bad news."

Kensei kept silent and paid attention to Daichi.

"My sensei decided to put me through a survival exam so tough that I'm sure even some Jonin would fail. But I passed. That's the good news." Daichi said with a small smile.

Kensei's eyes narrowed. "And the bad news?"

"There is a chance that Orochimaru or one of his minions might come after me in the future." Daichi sighed and sat down.

Kensei let out a breath and leaned back in his chair. A few seconds of silence passed before Kensei spoke.

"We knew this was a possibility. But I didn't think it would happen... Not so soon."

"Kakashi sensei didn't look all that worried. But that might be a facade he put on to make sure I'm not scared."

"Aren't you?" Kensei looked at his grandson. There was worry in his eyes. Having the attention of someone as dangerous as Orochimaru was a cause for concern.

Daichi let out a breath and looked up at the ceiling. "I'm slightly worried. He is dangerous. But I'm not terrified or anything like that. I'm not gonna let someone like him scare me." 'There are much scarier opponents I have to face in the future. Compared to them, Orochimaru is a joke.'
