  Daichi looked at his grandfather and prepared himself. 'You're not going to take me off guard this time.'

  "Warm Ups over. Time for the real fight." Kensei rushed over as he said those words.

  You have sensed killing i.

  In moments he was in front of Daichi a a powerful punch aimed at the boy's chest. Daichi flooded his body with chakra and enhanced himself. He deflected the punch, then ter attacked. Kensei blocked and grabbed hold of Daichi's arm.

  "First lesson. Taijutsu."

  Kewisted Daichi's arm and tried to get him into a submission hold but Daichi, familiar with the hold, grabbed Kensei's other arm and got himself free.

  Daichi jumped back several feet and stood his ground. 'That was just a simple basic submission hold. He was only testing me…'

  Kensei ran and quickly reached Daichi. Both of them began exging blows at a fast pace. Keargeted Daichi's joints and upper torso. He increased the speed of his attacks little by little.

  'His speed is equivalent to high level genin b in. And his reflexes aion time are nothing short of incredible for someone his age. But this fight has only just begun.' Kensei's aim was to study Daichi's strengths and weaknesses and then teach him to get rid of those weaknesses.

  'He has a firm grasp on the academy Taijutsu style and his instincts are good. He's not falling for the obvious gaps I left in my defenses. It's almost as if he has experience identifying the obvious traps id out by the enemy. If I didn't know aer I'd say he has been fighting and training with people other thaime to switch it up.'

  Kensei ged his battle style in mere seds. Daichi was fending off attacks with some difficulty but as the time passed it was getting increasingly harder. As the fight progressed, Daioticed the sudden shift in Kensei's battle style.

  Kensei suddenly started attag Daichi with much more force than before. A punch that Daichi blocked tained enough power to numb his arm.

  'Ahh…. My arm. That was strong enough to rattle my bones.' Daichi put more chakra into his arms and blocked the hard punches. As the fight progressed he noticed something strange.

  'Some of his punches tain incredible force but some feel normal. No… They are slightly weaker than his normal punches. But I 't tell which is which. He's n to go faster ahrough my blocks. It's as if he's deliberately allowio block him. What's he trying to do?'

  It took a few moments for Daichi to figure out the old man's strategy.

  'He's trying to wear me down. Both mentally and physically. I'm using more chakra to block the powerful punches. But if I don't know whies are strong and which are weak, I'll have to use chakra to block all the attacks. Even the weak ohat won't affect me. He's trying to fuse me and wear down my stamina and chakra.'

  "You sneaky old man." Daichi gri Kensei as he figured out his pn.

  "You o be more observant and effit in a fight. If you use what you've already learhen you figure it out." Kensei said nothing more as he kept up his assaults.

  Daichi deflected most attacks because directly blog them would use up more energy. Daichi focused his chakra to his eyes and ears. He kept a close eye on the muscles in Kensei's arms.

  A punch suddenly broke through Daichi's guard and hit him in the chest.

  -111 HP

  "Ghaa…" Spit flew from Daichi's mouth as he reeled back from the blow. He quickly regained his bearings and defended himself against the ing attack wave.

  "It's good to want to analyze and figure out your enemy's attack patterns and fighting style. But that doesn't mean you should let yuard down." Advised the old man as he fought his grandson.

  The words Kensei said brought a certain memory to Daichi's mind. It was the memories of the powerful Taijutsu and sword-wielding ninja he fought in the dungeon. 'I became focused on his sword style patterns so much that he was able to shove a ko me. And now I made the same mistake again. 't let something like that happen a third time.'

  Daichi shed out with a kick aimed at Kensei's knee. Kensei raised his leg and blocked Daichi's kicks and forcefully locked the boy's leg in pd attacked.

  'Shit. He has me locked down. If I try to get out of the hold he might snap my leg.' Daichi calcuted the ways in which he could escape. 'I 't let this fight go on like this. If I do I'll fail.'

  Daichi quickly focused chakra to his free leg and smmed down into the ground. The ground around the two fighters ruptured, f Keo disengage and jump back. The veteran ninja didn't look as if he just fought in a Taijutsu battle. Kensei maintained his breathing and his chakra flow was calm and smooth as ever.

  Daichi jumped and gained some distance as well. But he was in a much rougher shape. He took in several deep breaths of air as drops of sweat fell down from his fabsp;

  "You're much better than an academy student. But if you want to stand at the peak then this isn't enough. Your journey has only started. The academy. The fights you win there… It's just a pyground pared to the real world. Don't let your victories till now go to your head." Kensei said as he looked at the boy.

  Daichi's eyes sharpened as he listened. 'I know, old man! The dangers lurking out in this world. Much more than you. I'm strong but I'm well aware that I'm still just a big fish in a small pond.'

  Daichi uood better than ahe threats roaming the world. It was why he trained so often and learned everything he could. He didn't want to draw attention to himself, so he was careful about the way he acted, to the way he spoke. His cautious nature was born from his fear of an early death at the hands of someone who might find out his secret or even just a random enemy he met on his journey.

  Daichi looked at the old man and spoke. "I won't bee zy or let my guard down."

  Kensei merely nodded. "Sed lessosu."

  Daichi was immediately bombarded with several of the same notifications.

  Mental intrusioed.

  Gamer's Mind has ralized the attack.

  Seeing that the Genjutsu attacks failed Daichi smirked. 'I could pretend to fall under a Genjutsu spell but he would probably see through that.'

  Kensei was bewildered as his illusion teiques failed. 'My chakra definitely ected with his but the moment it did it was flushed out of his body. He didn't look like he sciously disrupted the Genjutsu attacks… But judging from his grin he knows he's not affected... Is it possible? Is he immuo Genjutsu attacks?...'

  The more Keudied and learned about Daichi the more intrigued he became. 'No. He was fooled by the Genjutsu I weaved into the substitution jutsu. So that means there are some Genjutsu that affect him… Time to find out his limits.'

  "It seems you're somehow ing my illusions. Then we'll skip and ght to the one. Ninjutsu." Kensei weaved hand-seals faster than Daichi could keep up.

  "Earth style - Mud River." Kensei spoke as the earth surrounding Daichi turned into a torrent of rushing mud ah.

  "Wow!!" Daichi was amazed at the speed with which the earth transformed. 'His execution of the teique is magnifit.'

  Daichi used chakra to stay on top and not get dragged down and across the ground but he was only partially successful. Using his chakra strings he was able to quickly get to safety. He then decided to move away from the flowing terrain. Daichi jumped high and away and was about to nd safely on the ground or so he thought.

  The moment Daichi's feet touched the ground it was as if a gss had broken around the ground where he stood. A giant hole appeared and Daichi kept falling into the deep pit.

  He quickly used chakra strings and attached himself to the walls of the hole and after several seds he successfully climbed out. Daichi saw the grinning visage of his grandfather.

  "It seems there is a limitation to yenjutsu immunity." Kensei said smirking.

  Daichi was o and slightly fused. 'Looks like he figured out the Gamer's Mind abilities. Or some of it at least. But what did he mean by limitations?'

  Kensei didn't give Daichi time to figure it out, and quickly attacked. "Your enemies won't give you time to figure them out. You need a sharp as well as fast mind."

  Daichi deflected the pund sent a swift kick to Kensei's abdomehen quickly went through different hand-seals.

  'Fire style - Fireball jutsu.'

  Daichi released the fireball directly at Kensei but it was doused with a powerful water style jutsu in seds. Steam wafted through the air all around the two.

  Daichi used chakra seo find Kehrough the mist. Suddenly as if he was swallowed by a bck void Daichi was surrounded by bess. He couldn't hear or see anything.

  'What the hell?' Daichi increased his senses and created two shadow es that covered his back. The three stood back to back. 'What's going on? I thought Genjutsu attacks didn't affect me?'

  Suddenly three of them were attacked in the darkness. Daichi suffered multiple blows to his head and body. While his es were dispelled after the first couple of hits.

  "Have you figured it out yet?" Kensei's voice echoed throughout the bck void. "Since I'm such a good grandfather, I'll give you ten seds to figure it out. Then I'll attack again."

  "Wait what?" Daichi's questio unanswered. He was breathing hard and was on one knee from the assault that just took pbsp;

  "Nine."

  Daichi thought as fast as he could. 'Why? Why did this teique affect me?'

  "Eight."

  Daichi thought about the illusion jutsu he was trapped in now and the ones he entered before.

  "Seven."

  Daichi's brain worked as fast as it could. He discarded several theories but then one came to mind. 'Could it be…?'

  "Six."

  'I think I just figured out a way to get out of this. Just hope it works.' Daichi made the ram seal and began gathering his chakra. He closed his eyes and trated.

  "Five."

  'Not yet. Not yet.' The boy trated more and more chakra in his body. If someone could see Daichi they would see a blue chakra mist c his entire body.

  "Four."

  'Almost there…. e on…' Daichi could feel his tensed muscles and coiled up chakra ready to burst.

  "Three."

  Daichi opened his eyes as he felt his chakra ragih his skin.

  "Now." He cpped his hands and released all the pressed and gathered chakra at once. He pced his hands on the ground a a third of it flow through the earth.

  The violent burst of chakra broke the illusion, like a gss being shattered.

  Daichi was breathing hard as he used quite a bit of his reserves. Several notifications popped up but Daichi ighem.

  "Crude. Taxing on the body. Ineffit… But effective." Kensei nontly remarked. "So you figured it out huh. Your weakness."

  Daiodded to the question. "I'm immuo Genjutsu that directly affects me. But I'm not against those pced on the surroundings."

  "Yes. That's right. I was able to take away yht, sound and smell by pg a Genjutsu oerrain. It didn't directly affect your nervous systems but you were still us effects." Kensei answered him.

  "When I fell into that hole earlier… You already made a pit and then covered it with Genjutsu." 'Incredible! The fht to see where I would nd and create a trap even before I made the move… I've been pying Shogi matches with him for a year now but not once was I able to beat him. This guy is an incredible tacti. And his awareness of his surroundings and the ability to analyze his oppo… It's scary… So this is what true Anbu ninjas worth their salts are capable of.' Daiarrowed his eyes as looked at the old man and took another deep breath.

  "Yes. You might think of Genjutsu as a weak field but… you couldn't be further from the truth. The ability to take away the basises… that's child's py pared to what a true Genjutsu master achieve. Your sense of time, direovements and much more could be altered. So just because you're immuo Genjutsu that directly affects you doesn't mean you fight skilled illusion users. Do you uand?" Kensei wanted Daichi to expand his horizons.

  "I uand." Daiodded seriously. 'I found a big gap in my skill. I o fix it. And preferably before I take the genin exams.'

  "Let's tinue."

  Kensei and Daichi resumed their fight. But it was more Daichi desperately defending himself for as long as he could and trying his best to wound his enemy. Despite all his level ups and strengths, Daichi was still uo properly fight back against the might and skills of a former anbu captain.

  As time passed Kensei showed Daichi what he was capable of. He trapped Daichi by yering the ground and surroundings with genjutsu. His ninjutsu forced Daichi to ge tacti the middle of the fight areat. And his taijutsu dismahe boy's meager defenses.

  Daichi was only strong enough to keep himself from getting seriously injured. But he fought at su intense pace that Kensei had to take him seriously. But due to this iy, Daichi was burning through his chakra and stamina quickly. During the entire fight he was only able to nd a few shallow wounds on his grandfather.

  But even those were iive as Kensei had several mediinjutsu under his belt.

  "You know mediinjutsu as well?" Daichi was amazed at the skill and teiques his grandfather dispyed.

  Daichi threw several shuriken as his grandfather healed himself. Kensei expertly dodged or deflected them. Among the ordinary shuriken was oied with a smoke bomb. The moment it neared Ke exploded c the area around him in smoke.

  Daichi rushed ahead and using his chakra sense he found and attacked Kehe old man parried the dagger in Daichi's hands with his kunai. Both of them pitted their strength against each other. Sparks flew as the dagger and kunai struggled and grinded against each other.

  "Did you really think that would work?"

  "No. But this is the only way." As Daichi said this, he suddenly let go of his strength. The sudden ge pushed Kensei onto Daichi aabbed the kunai into Daichi's gut.

  -312

  ive Status - Bleeding.

  This took Kensei by surprise and he was uo defend against the sneak attack to his abdomen.

  Daichi held in the pain of the sharp metal stabbed into him and he buried a small ko Kensei as well.

  -268 HP. Enemy hit.

  "Khuack-....." Keepped back as he looked at the bleeding stomach. He couldn't believe his eyes.

  "You deliberately let me stab you so you could injure me as well…?" The wound was not life threatening but it was still serious.

  Despite the pain he was in, Daichi smirked. "You look surprised, old man. You told me to e with the io kill. We've been fighting for over 2 hours… And I haven't been able to nd a serious injury. Not once. So this was my only way."

  Kensei grunted and narrowed his eyes. His palms let up with green medical jutsu teique aarted healing himself. "Bold move. You're right Daichi. Sometimes you have to sacrifi arm or a leg to save your life… But remember this!. You have to make sure… When you do make that sacrifice... Make sure to take the enemy down food."

  Kensei finished healing the wound by the time he was doalking. He disappeared and reappeared in front of the small boy in an instant. Keruck Daichi's right shoulder in two pces with two outstretched fingers.

  "What was that?... It didn't hurt at all." Daichi was fused by the attack. At that moment a notification appeared.

  ive Buff - Right arm temporarily paralyzed.

  Seeing this notification Daichi tried to move his right arm but he couldn't.

  "I just struck the nerve bundle in your deltoid. It may not have hurt. But you won't be moving that arm for a while… Time to end this." Keold the boy.

  Kensei disappeared from Daichi's vision. The sed all Daichi could see was bess.
