  It was the sed weekend of May. Daichi was at home pleting the first step of his earth nature training. It has now been three weeks since he started the training.

  "I did it. It's finally pleted." Daichi sat down to meditate and soon was back to prime dition.

  At that moment Kensei came to the training field.

  "I pleted the first step, gramps…"

  "What?!" 'So soon?'

  "Yup!" Daichi picked up a leaf and pced it between his index and middle finger. He only ied a small portion of his chakra into the leaf for a sed but it was enough. The leaf instantly turo dirt ah and crumbled with the wind.

  Kensei was astonished as he watched the se. 'I thought I had gotteo his talents and growth speed, yet he still mao surprise me.'

  "For ordinary people it would take 5 to 8 months to master this step. For someone capable it would take two or three months. A you were able to plete it in 3 weeks… You used the shadow es to speed up the process… But still… Truly impressive, boy!" Kensei had a smile on his face.

  Daichi had a smile when he heard him. "I'm going to take the wo days off and do some light training and rex. I'll start the sed step after that… Truth be told. I'm exhausted."

  Kensei uood and simply nodded.

  "I'll be back. I'm gon something to eat. You want anything gramps?"

  Kensei merely shook his head. He watched Daichi go ihe house for some snacks.

  For the past three weeks Kensei had seen the boy trainilessly, with only taking a couple days iween to rest. At that momeried to sense Daichi's chakra and what he felt was within his expectations.

  'He only had a small amount of chakra left after he was doh his training but… His body is regeing his chakra at an astonishing speed. His chakra is replenishing at 3… No 4? Times faster than before. Hmm… '

  Kensei had a plicated expression as he looked at Daichi who came back with some fresh steaming buns.

  'I 't dey it any lohe secret of his incredible growth. I want to know. I'm sure Daichi knows the secrets of his body. Or at the very least he has ahe question is… Is he willing to share those secrets with me?'

  Kensei came near Daichi and sat down. He had a serious expression which fused Daichi.

  "Daichi, I'm going to ask you a question… I'd very much like for you to answer me... But… If you don't want to ahen I'll uand…"

  Daichi was on guard as he heard Kensei. 'What is he…? What does he want to know?'

  "Daichi… Do you have any special abilities that help you with yrowth?"

  Kensei kept his eyes on Daichi. He saw that the kid had bee defehe moment the question was asked. It was the subtle signs.

  'He's learned how to mask his reas far better now. A trained interrogator would still be able to see through him, but… he'd be able to fool the average Joe.'

  Daichi was startled. He khe old man would ask this question one day but he didn't think it'd be so soon. 'In hindsight I should have expected this. With everything I've learned and shown… And my speed and strength… Now that I think about it, I'm kinda surprised it took him this long to ask. Still… Should I tell him?'

  Daichi decided to respond with a question of his own. He had a wide smile and asked "e on! What makes you say that…?"

  Kensei sighed as he heard the question. "Daichi, the way I see it… Your secrets are yours. Like I said before, if you don't want to tell me… It's fine. But don't think of me as an idiot."

  Daichi's smile fell and then he sighed. "Fair enough."

  Daichi mentally struggled with the decision. 'On the one hand, he's helped me a lot. Much more than I ever expected. Oher hand, do I trust someone else with my secrets?'

  Daichi was silent for several seds. Kensei could see that the boy was struggling to make a choice.

  'Seems those secrets will stay with him…'

  The old ma out a small, slightly sad sigh and was about to walk away when Daichi spoke up.

  "Yes!" Daichi looked at Kensei and replied to his question. "To answer your question, yes! I do have some abilities. At least I think so."

  Kensei was surprised that Daichi admitted that much. He felt happy that Daichi decided to open up to him.

  "What are they?" Kensei asked with great curiosity.

  "Before I ahat, how much have you figured out about my abilities?" Daichi asked while sitting down on the back porch.

  Kensei joined him. He looked at the setting sun and began to recall the observations he made on Daichi over the course of the st 3 years.

  "Over the years I noticed that your chakra reserve increases at an exceptionally faster rate. Despite being 8 years old, you only most 5 hours of sleep each day. No matter how exhausted, bruised or wounded you are, you pletely recover with a single night's rest. Your chakra and stamina recovery after exhaustion is incredible but when you meditate, that recovery increases by several fold. For some reason your natural recovery has beuch faster this year. You're immuo Genjutsu. Well, most genjutsu anyway. You have a steep learning curve. Your body is far more durable than most ins. And finally based on my observations your body has the ability to adapt and bee stronger when pressured. It's as if your body detects that it o improve to survive. For example when you ck chakra your body increases your chakra volume and expands so on. I don't know if you're the one sciously doing it or if it's your body's automatic response? But I know there is a limit. Otherwise you'd already have surpassed me by now."

  Kensei cluded and turo look at Daichi. He saw that the kid was wide eyed and jaw dropped. Kensei smirked at that. "Seeing your rea I take it, I'm right?"

  "Umm…" Daichi didn't have any words to speak of at that moment. He was having a mental freakout.

  'Holy fug shit! How the hell is someone so perceptive? He knows all that? I thought he only knew about my genjutsu immunity and my growth speed but this is insane! He figured out the immunity aspect of the gamer's mind and several aspects of the gamer's body. He was able to sense my HP, CP, SP recovery and he was able to hat it increases during my meditation. He figured out that I heal wounds with one night's rest and somehow he came to the clusion that I was able to increase my strength at will… By using points I increase my strength and chakra volume. But he's not sure if I'm the one doing it or if its my body's natural respoill… I 't believe he figured out something like that… Despite not knowing about the gamer's ability, he was able to deduce several of its aspects from just me… His intuition, perception and observational skills are incredible...'

  Daichi opened and closed his mouth several times but no words came out. her of them spoke for a couple of minutes. After a minute Daichi gathered his thoughts and answered.

  "I 't believe you figured out so much." He said in a low voice.

  "Well… you have been living under my roof, sparring with me and training in my backyard for the st 3 years. It's only natural that I'd notice your anomalies."

  Daiodded at that. 'I o be more cautious from now on.'

  "Yes. You're right, gramps. I only o sleep for about 4 hours to be fully healed a peak form. And my body does have a limited ability to adapt to stressful situations by increasing my strength and chakra. It's an automatic response. And I pick up jutsus and teiques at a much faster rate than others. Aation does help me recover chakra and stamina faster after a workout. You're right about everything." Daichi said with a small smile.

  Reputation increases with Kensei Yasaji.

  Kensei had a gentle smile on his fabsp;'He trusts me. I could see how difficult revealing this was for him… But the fact that he did mearusts me with his secrets. Thank you Daichi. I'll make sure not to betray this trust.' Kensei only smiled and didn't say a single word of his thoughts to Daichi. As speak louder than words afterall.

  "The truth is… My ability is a special kekkei genkai. Or at least that's my uanding. I don't know anyone in the vilge that has abilities like mine. I don't think there is any… So …" Daichi told the old man.

  "I see…" Kensei pondered on that. "You might be right about that. I haven't heard of a perso alone a whole that has shown your uniqueness."

  "You figured out this much about my powers.! Think you have a theory?"

  Daichi enquired with genuine curiosity. Or at least that's what it looked like. Daichi knew no matter how smart Kensei was he would never be able to figure out that Daichi possesses an ability that could i with the world itself. The gamer ability. Because the cept of a gamer itself did in this world.

  "I might have an idea." Kehought about Daichi's question and answered after several seds.

  "The first Hokage Hashirama Senju had the power to use Wood style. It was a unique Ninjutsu that only he could use. From what I know her his brother nor his desdants possessed the ability to use this Kekkei Genkai. It was cluded that it was a mutation specifi… My guess is… you're the same case. Your ability might be a rare geic mutation. I'm sure your parents didn't have your abilities but you might be able to pass it on to your desdants. Or you might not… We 't know for sure… But what I'm sure of is that you're probably the only one in the world who possesses a body with such capabilities…"

  Daichi crossed his arms and thought about what Kensei said. He nodded along with his grandfather's assumption.

  'That's an iing idea. If someone… No! When someone iure asks these same questions then I say that I have a specific mutated Kekkei Genkai. They 't exactly disprove it. And by that time, I'll be strong enough to handle most people that y way.'

  Both of them sat in silence for a while and ehe st rays of the sun as it disappeared over the horizon.

  "Thank you Daichi." Kensei looked at the kid. "For trustih your secret."

  Daichi smiled and nodded but didn't say anything. They both retired to their rooms shortly after. Kensei was happy that his grandson decided to trust him but unknown to him, happiness was not what Daichi felt.

  As Daichi closed the door to his room, he had a plicated feeling in his heart. 'I'm sorry I 't tell you the whole truth, old man… It's just…'

  Daichi ched his fists in anger and sadness.

  'Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!... Despite everything he's done for me… I… I still 't bring myself to pletely trust him… Why?'

  Small trails of tears started rolling down his eyes as he sat in a er of the room. The Gamer's Mind activated and calmed him down more than once… But, Daichi's tears didn't stop for several minutes as he sat there in silehout an answer.
