  'Looks like I'm about to plete most of this quest but based on the amount of exp I need for each level, getting to 13 will take at least 7 or 8 more months. Still… I have 10 months remaining before joining the new semester. I'll be ready by then. Hmmm… what E rank Ninjutsu should I learn? The e teique, substitution or transformation? I'll ask the old man ter. I'll ask him for the chakra paper as well. Gotta find out my affinity. The set things dohe easier it'll be.'

  Daichi was able to quickly plete most of his current quest because of his effit and stant training. He kept a steady pad only took the weekend off to rex. It alsht him new ideas to implement in his training. He went to find Kensei after closing the notification boxes. It was time to find out his chakra nature.

  —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Kensei's library.

  Kensei was rummaging through some boxes on the shelf and after a few minutes he found what he was looking for. He took a special paper from the box and turned around to face his grandson. He held the paper in front of Daichi.

  "I take it you uand what this paper does?" He asked.

  "Yeah. It shows my natural chakra affinity. I focus my chakra on it and if it's wind it tears, if it's water it gets wet, earth it crumbles to dust, fire it burns to ash and if it's lightning the paper wrinkles." Daichi replied.

  "Training in chakra nature is advauff. Most shinobi start this after they bee in. You realize that don't you?" Kensei knew Daichi uood the difficulty of the task but he said it anyway.

  Daiodded but had a smirk. "I know but you and I both know I'm not going to be like most shinobi."

  "That remains to be seen. Here. No point in wasting anymore time." Kensei gave Daichi the chakra paper.

  Daichi held the paper between his index and middle finger. He took a breath a out. Closing his eyes he focused and trated some of his chakra through his fingers and onto the paper. When he opened his eyes the result was something he didn't expect. The paper turo dirt and crumbled to dust in seds.

  "Earth nature. Iing." Kensei rubbed his looking at Daichi. "You look surprised!"

  Daichi, hearing the old man, looked up at him and replied. "Yeah. I thought I'd be lightning or fire natured. Earth is a surprise." ‘More like I wa to be those. But it isn’t so bad. Earth element in the right hands could be quite versatile’.

  "What do you think about Earth nature affinity?" Kensei asked, wanting to know the boy's opinion on his natural affinity.

  Daichi thought about it for sometime befiving him the answer.

  "It's a powerful nature. We're surrounded by earth elements and it's perfect for defense and offense. With enough chakra reserves one reshape the eerrain to suit their needs. And in a battlefield having trol over the terrain means increasing the odds of victory. A true master turh into as malleable as water or as hard as a mountain. At least that's what I think."

  Kensei had a smile on his face after hearing his reasons. "Good. But for the moment, train and improve the skills you have. Those being your taijutsu and shurikenjutsu and then focus on increasing your chakra reserves and strength. When you're ready in a couple years and depending on your progress we'll start with nature chakra and its applications. A tower with a weak foundation won't st long after all."

  Daichi agreed with him. Right now his main priority was increasing the level of all his current skills. As Daichi thought about it he got curious.

  "Hey gramps. What's your chakra nature?" Daichi asked him.

  Kensei just smirked as he listeo the quest. "You'll find out one day." As he said those words, Kensei handed him a small scroll.

  "Is that?" Daichi wondered.

  "This is an E rank jutsu taught in the academy. The rope escape jutsu."

  "Huh.?" Daichi didn't think the first jutsu he would get from the old man was this basic supplementary teique.

  Kensei chucked watg the dumb expression on Daichi's face. "You have to learn to crawl before you walk. This is a basic straightforward and simple jutsu but it's quite useful when you least expect it. Learn it. And a couple months ter based on your progress I'll see if you're ready for any other teiques…" The old man was having fun watg Daichi's expression.

  Hearing the cheery and somewhat smug voice of his grandpa, Daichi sighed to himself. "Yeah. I'm gonna learn it and I'll be ready to learn e jutsu and more by the time I'm ready for the academy." Daichi replied back with a grin and cheeky voibsp;

  "I look forward to it." Kensei walked out of the room having the st word.

  Daichi took the scroll a outside. He read the scroll detailing the teique.

  When the user is bound, they find ways to escape by untying the knot or dislog the joints to get free. Although it is the most basic of the escape-based jutsu, it is still fairly plicated to perform.

  'Let's get to work.' Daichi sat down ahrough every inch of the scroll, determio memorize and learn it by the end of the day.

  —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The sound of fist hitting flesh could be heard throughout the room. Both Daichi and Kensei were sparring in the dojo. her oending to give the other victory.

  Daichi rained fast precise punches aiming at Kensei's head. All of which were deflected or dodged. Because of the height difference Daichi was at a disadvantage. Keepped forward, throwing a fast powerful punch towards Daichi's face. The boy raised both hands and blocked the punch aimed at his face but the force from it pushed him backwards.

  -66 HP

  ‘Damn the old man hits hard.’

  Daichi slid a few feet before taking a step bad stopping himself. Before he could even put his hands down Daichi saw movement from the er of his eyes. Kehrew a roundhouse kick aimed at the left side of his torso.

  Daichi pnted his feet and gripped the floor. He braced himself and took the oning blow. "Arh…" He couldn't help grunting at the strength of the attack. But as soon as the kick struck he trapped the leg under his left arm and threw a fast jab aiming at the thighs of the trapped leg.

  But before it could even reach halfway Kehrew several quick punches f Daichi to blod parry them. But they were mostly unsuccessful since he only had one arm to ter the old man's assaults. Several strikes nded on his body f him to let go of the leg and pelling him to jump bad gain some distanbsp;

  Daichi had a haggard breath. His chest expanding and trag, gasping for some precious air. He'd been fighting with sutensity for over thirty minutes. Barely a couple of seds passed and Kensei was already on him.

  "Your enemies won't give you time to rest or catch your breath. Never show weakness. It would definitely be used against you."

  Those were the words he heard while desperately parrying the oning attacks. Daichi sharpened his seo their absolute maximum to sehe speed and position of the attacks. He didn't even have time for any useless thoughts.

  Both grandfather and grandson exged fists at a speed civilians could barely see let alone fend off. Daichi was carefully waiting for an opportunity to strike but his grandfather was careful.

  ‘He’s blog and parrying every one of my punches and jabs. Don’t know how much longer I keep going like this. Got no choieed to use ‘strong hit’. Even if it will drain almost half my remaining stamina.’

  Deg to make his own opening, Daichi met one of Kensei's punches with a punch of his own.

  Both fists colliding knuckle to knuckle. Daichi used the skill 'strong hit' and put enough for it to make even Kensei wince. Feeling the pain and his hand being slightly numb, Kensei gged for a sed. But that single moment presented an opportunity for Daichi to move past the old man's defenses and nd a strike on his chest.

  A powerful strike that made even Kensei slightly grunt.

  But that was the only attack Daichi was able to nd on his oppo. Kensei ched his fists and resumed his vigorous attacks. Several strikes nded on Daichi's body but he refused to take any more steps babsp;

  He gritted his teeth and stood his ground. Each time Kensei nded a successful atta his body Daichi could see his HP falling. Slowly but steadily.

  Just when it looked like it would stay like this there was a ge in the flow of the battle.

  Keook a siep forward, and arched his punch ging the trajectory of the attack from a straightforunch to an uppercut. He aplished this feat without losing any attack speed. Even though Daichi could see the puning he knew he wouldn't be able to block it. And if it would be over for him.

  Daichi quickly leaned back, avoiding the uppercut by timeters. Just whehought he had passed the danger he felt a strike on his right leg. A quick precise attack that took his band footing.

  -41 HP

  Kensei khe boy would dodge his attack. His uppercut was a distra and his real goal was to make him lose his footing.

  Daichi fell backwards hitting the floor. "Ooh" He couldn't help excim.

  Seeing his goal aplished the old man moved in for aomp. He unched a downward strike with the heel of his foot straight at Daichi's chest. Daichi quickly rolled to the right dodging the attad was about to get up when he felt a hand on the back of his ned it froze him.

  Daichi was kneeling on all fours with Keanding beside him with a knifehand strike pced on the back of his neck. The old man didn't strike him but simply pced the hand on the boy's neck. But this was enough for Daichi to know that the fight was over.

  It was only after a few seds had passed by that Daichi heard his own panting breath. He could hear his heart, beating in his chest like a giant drum. He felt the adrenaline and the blood c through his body. His ag and twitg muscles. He slowly stood up on shaky legs. And turo face his grandfather.

  Kensei had a wide smile on his face. Even though he wasn't as exhausted as Daichi he was still slightly out of breath. Sparring with someone like Daichi for so long at his age took its toll. But he never felt as good as he did at that moment in a long time.

  "It's been almost 6 months since we've started our sparring sessions. And every time you impress me. Your speed of improvement is incredible. And you're talent… It's unbelievable. I have no doubt you'll be eveer thah Hokage one day."

  Kensei didn't hold ba his praise. Based on the speed of Daichi’s improvement and his inborn talent, he truly believed Daichi could reach great heights.

  Hearing his grandpa's praise made Daichi blush a little. He scratched the back of his head lightly ughing…

  "Aww you're making me blush Gramps…" Just then his stomach growled like a lion.

  "Hahaha…" Kensei ughed heartily. "We're both a mess. Let's get ourselves ed up. We'll be going out for dionight. How are you feeling about BBQ?" He asked.

  "That sounds awesome. Let's go to Yakiniku Q." Daichi replied in an instant. The best BBQ p the leaf vilge was the Yakiniku Q. He had only been there o that single visit was enough to make him captivated with the pbsp;

  Kensei chuckled looking at Daichi's drooling hungry face. "Sure. Go get ed up a me downstairs in an hour. We'll head out." Daiodded ao his room. Kensei went to his own room to get himself ready.
