The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima
Chapter 18: Completing the First Month Training

[You have got in tune with 5 of the 6 major senses of the human body. You have reached a special condition. Special stat Sense is opened.]

[You have unlocked a special stat. ]

[Reward: +500 Exp.]

[+75 Exp.]

[+1 SENSE.]

'5? I've only awakened 4. So what's the 5th?.... Ohh. Right!! Chakra must be the 5th. Since I'm living in a world where chakra is an essential aspect of the human body it's considered as another major sense.'

'Whatever. It makes things easier. I'll have to look into the last one as well. Sense of touch. But I don't have nearly enough knowledge on the human body to complete that. Guess I'll wait.'

Kensei was amazed as he looked at Daichi. 'To think he would learn those in a day… His talent is incredible.' He went back inside as Daichi started his physical training.

Daichi looked at the sun. It was about 4 in the afternoon. He trained his body some more for another couple more hours and got an increase of 1 point in strength and vitality stats.

He finished his training for the day and took a walk around the house. He was starting to enjoy the peaceful life here. He knew it wouldn't last when he graduated but he was happy.

He watched the fishes and the birds and enjoyed the view of nature. Daichi went to his garden and started watering the plants. The seeds showed signs of starting to sprout. He sat down near a tree and watched the sun set and its glorious orange rays slowly disappearing.

Kensei was sitting at the back of the house as well. He was keenly watching Daichi. His mind had a whirlwind of thoughts. He knew that if Daichi kept training he would improve but not at such a rapid rate.

'The exercises that had him wheezing on his first day are now nothing. In just a few days his body acclimated to the stress and improved. His strength has definitely improved and so has his chakra. It's more than double what he had when I met him.'

'And it's not just that. His talent is also unbelievable. He read the books I gave him and not only did he unlock his chakra but he learned to control and use it to strengthen his senses.'

Kensei compared the rate of progress Daichi had to himself at Daichi's age.

'I'm strong and I was at the top amongst my peers but compared to this boy I might as well be ordinary. He must have some exceptional physical constitution for such a fast improvement. I've heard that the Senju's had strong bodies and powerful chakra. Could this boy have Senju bloodline in his veins?'

'Should I have him tested? Find out if he is from someone who is a descendant of the clan?' Kensei immediately dismissed that idea.

'No. Whatever the case maybe, as far as the village is concerned, he is another ordinary orphan without any special lineage who got lucky enough to be adopted. But if I start making enquiries it would bring unwanted attention. And when they see just how talented he is, it could become problematic. Especially if Danzo takes notice. He will definitely try and take Daichi into the root forces.'

'Daichi will be starting the academy next year. Should I tell him to hold back… No. Let him decide what he wants to do. And if Danzo or anyone else starts to become a problem I'll deal with them ... .After all, I still owe him for what he did to my leg.' An unpleasant memory of a mission gone wrong came to his mind. Kensei slightly shook his head as if to get rid of the memory.

He sighed. 'Daichi still has a year. And as long as I'm here Danzo won't be able to get to him. And in the next 6 years I'll train him and make him strong enough to escape even a Jonin if necessary.'

As the old retired shinobi thought about his past a figure suddenly came to his mind. A figure covered in black unidentifiable clothes and wearing a weird mask.

'By the time he graduates, I'll have Daichi be ready to face the world and take on whatever it throws at him. With that you can consider my debt to you, paid…'

'Still I wonder... How did that man know about Daichi? What was his goal when he asked me to adopt the child all those years ago?... Maybe one day I'll replace out…'

Kensei looked at Daichi who sat in the shade and watched the last rays of the sun disappear. He got up. "Daichi Come on. Let's get inside." He went inside followed by his grandson.

Daichi went to take a bath while Kensei made dinner. After sometime both of them ate their food and went to bed. Daichi looked at his clock as he laid down on the bed. It was only a few minutes past nine. Even though he trained all day, Daichi wasn't feeling tired at all. In fact he was more energetic than he had ever been.

'There are a lot of things I have to test. How long do I need to sleep for? I need to replace the minimum time needed for full HP, CP, SP, restore. I also have to use chakra to enhance my last sense. But for that I need to learn more about the human body. So gotta complete that last book... Ok. What else?'

Daichi then pondered on his training methods. 'Need to increase training efficiency. Have to see if I can use meditate skill in tandem with leaf concentration exercise. Then try to do the leaf exercise while I'm training my body. That will improve its skill level and I'll have more time. Time to get some reading done.'

Daichi took the book on human anatomy and started reading it. As time went by he got a 2 point increase in intelligence. After about 4 hours he placed the book down and went to sleep.

Daichi spent the month training and improving on the skills he currently had. Since he wasn't sure how to open the other special stats he decided to forego them for the moment and concentrated on increasing the current unlocked ones.

He trained everyday and read different books every night before sleep. He found out that he only needed 5 hours of sleep for optimum performance. And the longest he could go without sleep was 36 hours before negative buffs started appearing. His stat improved quite a bit but after 2 weeks the growth started slowing down.

He had a level up at the end of the 2nd week. Daichi would get simple quests like errand runs and cleaning the house. But he never complained. They were EXP sources and thus the source of his growth.

Kensei marveled at Daichi's training ethics. He was impressed with the kids' determination. He understood that Daichi would definitely work hard and keep improving as time passed.

Daichi didn't leave the house except for when he had to complete errands or grocery runs. He decided he would visit the village and see the different places after the months training.

He trained most of his skills and leveled them up. He trained everyday till he dropped and exhausted his chakra reserves. He wanted to build up his chakra volume. The only skill he hadn't given a try yet was the Jutsu creation one. He figured he needed more information on chakra and hand seals and a greater chakra volume to make successful jutsus.

Days went by in a blur. It was the last day of April and Daichi completed the training for the day. He opened his status page.

'Wow. In one month I was able to get so strong. None of my primary stats is less than 10. And I didn't use a single stat point till now. I made a very good choice... 500 more exp and I'll be able to get to level 7. My dexterity is the lowest. Got to replace a way to improve that. With each increase in intelligence I can remember more details clearly. I can even remember some things I've forgotten about my past life.

Hmm… So increasing that does give perfect recall… Will come in very handy when I have to learn complicated seals and medical treatments. Time to see my skill page.'

'Nice. All of them got a few more levels this month. Well... Except minor Jutsu creation. Need to start working on that soon. Other than that, great progress. Now time to replace the old man and see what he has to say.'

The one month came to an end. He was excited to show Kensei his progress.
