Discimer: I don't own Naruto or the Gamer. Please support the official release.

  Daichi sat down uhe tree and looked at the leaf in his hand. He then looked up at Kensei.

  "Any advice gramps?"

  Kehought about it for a few seds and then replied. "Every element is unique. For earth the goal is to turn the leaf ih to the point it crumbles. When you're fog your chakra I want you to bine your chakra. Instead of spreading it out, bi and harden your chakra. You've used several types of earth jutsu. So you know what your earth nature chakra would feel like. trate on that."

  Daiodded and pced the leaf between both palms. He remembered how his chakra nature ged a when he used earth jutsu. He trated and focused his chakra into the leaf. He kept up his tration and tinuously poured chakra into the leaf. After a minute he heard the familiar sound of the system message notification.

  Daichi opened his eyes and looked at the leaf. A tiny portion of the tip of the leaf had turo earth. He smiled and then looked at the new skill he got.

  [A new skill is created with a specific a.]

  Earth - Leaf crumbling teique - (Active/Passive)(LV. 1): Ah chakra affinity training skill obtaihrough tinuously fog chakra to a leaf to turn it into dirt. A basic teique to help the user increase the strength of their earth nature chakra.

  1% increase ih Chakra trol.

  CP cost : 30/sec.

  'Iing. So this skill increases my Earth Affinity skill too huh. Makes sense now that I think about it… I thought there would be more effects to this skill.'

  Daichi theally opehe skill page ahrough the skill list until he found what he was looking for.

  Earth Affinity - (Active/Passive)(LV.24): Earth Release is one of the five basiature transformations. It is only affiliated with Tiger hand-seal. At higher levels the user trol the several minerals saturating the earth. Ohis skill crosses Level 90, the user bi with other nature affinities which have also crossed Level 90.

  'So training the leaf trol teique increases this skill whi turn increases the power of my Earth nature.'

  "You already picked it up I see! That's impressive. But it will still take a while for you to master it." Kensei sat down on the pord watched his adopted grandson train.

  Daichi agreed with that statement. "I know. Even with my speed, it will take a long time if I go like this. But fortunately I have a shortcut." He said with a grin.

  Kensei raised an eyebrow at that.

  Daichi made the hand seals for the shadow e jutsu and created 4 es.

  Oo mediate a little ways away from the group. The other 3 along with Daichi picked up a leaf and started training.

  Kensei's eyes widened as he saw this. 'To think his chakra had already grown to such a point. To create 4 es and have them train… Impressive… The chakra of the shadow e will return to the user when it is dispelled. And along with it the memories and… experiences. Since he uses 3 es then his training time will be reduced by 3 as well. This is an ingenious trainihod. But… Thinking about it… there is also a risk to this type of training. Along with the experience he will also feel their bined fatigue. Of that I'm sure. It will push him to his limits.'

  At that moment Kensei looked at the editating and his eyes widened in realization. 'He knows?! He figured out the draw bad created a termeasure. He's using his e to bat the fatigue as well. And after fighting him I say that his body and mind are abnormally strong. Seems he knows what he's doing.'

  Kensei didn't say a word and was tent with watg Daichi practice.

  Daichi's trol over his chakra was far superior than anyone currently in the vilge. He also had the skill Absolute Chakra Mastery to aid him. Daichi was making slow but steady progress with the teique. He trained until a little after midnight before deg to rest.

  Skill Earth - Leaf crumbling teique's level has risen by one. x12

  Skill Earth Affinity's level has risen by one. x2

  Daichi then looked at the es and had them dispelled one by oh a few minutes of interval between them. As the experiend fatigue came, Daichi wobbled ao his knees. His eyes ched shut as if he was in pain. But it only sted for a couple seds.

  +1 STAMINA

  Daichi looked at the stat point he just got. 'Ued but not unwele.'

  He was breathing hard and then dispelled the st e. The ohat was meditating and it rejuvenated Daichi by a small margin.

  Skill Meditate's level has risen by one.

  He took the leaf he trai and showed it to his grandfather. A small portion of the leaf was missing and the edge was covered in dirt.

  "You're progressing faster than I expected. Still… Don't over do it and strain yourself."

  Daiodded. "You didn't have to stay up with me you know."

  "Don't take me for an old man who has a bedtime and o be tucked in, you brat."

  Daichi smirked at that respohank you."

  Kensei merely nodded. "e o's get something to eat. I'm starving."

  —-

  Daichi created 4 shadow es and traihe earth nature trol teique. While he was in css instead of training he would try aate. He didn't want the css to see him exhausted and out of breath while doing nothing. bined with his es, he would spend over a total of 50 hours a day training.

  Several of his skills improved along with his Earth Affinity. And his stamina, vitality and chakra stats also gained some points. Several days went by with the same routine. But Daichi does take a single day break every 5 days or so to mentally recharge himself. With his gamer ability he could train everyday without any problems but Daichi didn't want to do that. Even he had some limits.

  —-

  Daichi meditated most of the time and Shikamaru noticed Daichi's odd behavior. The young Nara narrowed his eyes as he saw Daichi crossed legged aating during the lunch time.

  'Strange! Is he… Is he meditating? Fuy who spends every free sed reading or training this is surely strange. He's doing nothing except meditating. He's doing it in css too. Wait! I heard that meditation improves chakra trol. Could that be it? Is he doing a chakra trol exercise?'

  It wasn't just Shikamaru who noticed Daichi's behavior. Naruto and the others also took note of Daichi's new behavior.

  The future Rookie 8 was having their lund were chatting about ohing or another. Suddenly Naruto and Kiba came up with ao prank Daichi.

  "Hey what if we throw a water balloon at him? Do you think he'll be able to catch it?" Naruto asked with a devilish grin.

  "Probably. But if we do it when he's not expeg it then we might be able to get him."

  "You guys better not go disturb Daichi with your stupid pranks." Ino narrowed her eyes at the two.

  "e on Ino! It'll be fun… Besides I bet if his clothes got wet you'd be able to take a closer look at his body. Don't you want that?" Naruto said with a teasing grin.

  Ino was flustered hearing that. Her cheeks went red as she imagihat se. "Yes…N-No… I mean No!" She vehemently shook her head.

  "Naruto yonna pay for that." Ino yelled at the whiskered boy embarrassed.

  "I 't believe you got her. Here!" Kiba handed a dy to Naruto who happily took and ate it.

  "You tricked me!?" The blonde Yamanaka realized.

  "We made a bet. And I won. You're so easy to fool when you're angry. Hahaha…" Naruto and Kiba ughed at Ino's furious face.

  "Why you…" Just as she was about to walk over to the two and give them a piece of her mind, Shikamaru spoke up. He had an unusually serious demeanor.

  "Hinata!" He looked at the Hyuga girl.

  "Y-yes Shikamaru?"

  " you use your Byakugan?" Shikamaru asked her.

  "Umm… Yes. But not for long." Hinata answered meekly.

  Everyoopped what they were doing and focused on Shikamaru. He then turned his attention to Daichi who was meditating oher end of the academy ground.

  "I need you to use your Byakugan on Daichi right now."

  "Umm…" Hinata was hesitant to use her visual power to spy on a cssmate.

  "What! No way. Hinata, don't do it." Ino protested.

  "I just need her to firm something for me Ino."

  "No way. I won't allow it." Seeing Ino's adamant refusal, Shikamaru gave up.

  "What a drag…" He let out a sigh.

  "Why do you want Hinata to use her byaku… whatever?" Naruto asked in fusion. Hinata's entire head turned red as she heard Naruto talk about her.

  "I have a feeling he's doing a lot more than just sitting around... I thiraining."

  "What? Really?"

  "You believe he's doing chakra trol training. Why? Because meditation helps strehe mind and thus the spiritual aspect of chakra." Shino spoke up.

  "Ghaa..!" Naruto and Kiba were slightly startled. 'Fot he was even here.'

  Naruto then got excited. "Hey Hinata. you really tell if he's training with your eyes?" He asked the blushing girl.

  "Umm…" Hinata, not having any words simply nodded her head.

  "e on. you do it? Please…" Naruto looked at her with a big smile.

  "Absolutely not Naruto…" Ino was against the idea of anirl peeking at her crush.

  But Hinata, uo resist Naruto's charm and plea, made a hand sign to activate her eyes and looked at Daichi.

  A sed ter shock was evident on her face. "No way…"

  Everyone seeing Hinata's rea got extremely curious.

  "Well don't leave us in suspense now!" Ino slightly yelled at the girl.

  "He's molding his chakra at the ter of his belly and then running it throughout his body… And Daichi's chakra is increasing at a steady rate and… It's in perfect harmony." Hinata said.

  "What do you mean?" Shikamaru asked.

  "His m-mental energy and physical energy are in perfect harmony… and his trol over his chakra… It's… I don't know how to say it except it's… perfect… It's even beyond anything I've ever seen… Not a single ounce of his chakra is being wasted. Not… Not even my father has such precise trol over his chakra work."

  Shikamaru thought about what Hinata just said. He then asked her "He is his chakra?"

  "His chakra reserves are huge. I've only seen adult ninjas with his chakra volume. And his chakra coils… They're much bigger than the normal person's." She fibbed as she said the st part. She had seeher person amongst them with a greater chakra reserve than Daichi. And he was the bloting right o her.

  "That much!?" Sakura and Ino were shocked.

  "He is the number one in css… And he did beat those 3 adult ninjas a few days ago. I guess we should have expected this." Choji said, mung on his chips.

  "Just as I thought. He's doing chakra trol exercises." Shikamaru was slightly fused. 'But I thought he would start on the ge in chakra nature or ge in chakra form training… Did he give up because of its difficulty or… No. Daichi isn't the type to give up… If he really is training in that, then this meditation must be a part of it.'

  As the group was discussing their findings there was another person who was listening to their versation unseen by everyone else.

  Sasuke ched his fists as he looked from the group to Daichi. 'No matter how much I train, I 't get close to him. And… and the gap only seems to widen… Now his chakra reserve has already reached Jonin level?... How is he getting s so quickly? Is there some shortcut or is his talent that much better than mine?... He's just like…'

  Sasuke gritted his teeth and quietly walked away. 'No matter how hard I have to train, I will defeat you one day, Daichi. And then… I'll e for you, Itachi! And I will make you pay.'
