The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 55 - Training Plans and Shortcuts

Daichi pondered on his next move as he sat on the porch and ate some dumplings. There were many skills he had to focus on. But he wasn't sure what to tackle first.

"Chakra control, my stats, the jutsu creation skill.... Then there's the change in chakra nature and change in chakra form training. I have plenty on my plate already. Enough to keep me busy for at least 3 or 4 more years... But what should I start with?"

Daichi looked at the stats again. He wanted to train his special stat stamina and raise it to 100. Currently the SP was the only remaining one that hadn't increased significantly.

"Based on my training time, I'll be able to raise my stamina points by the end of the week if I really push myself... So that's one problem solved."

Daichi then thought about an important skill he had neglected. The 'Minor jutsu creation' skill

"To create or modify a jutsu I'll need excellent control over my chakra and proficiency in shape transformation and the various chakra nature. So that will be my next focus..."

As Daichi went through the memories of his previous life a new thought occurred to him.

'During Naruto's wind chakra nature training, Kakashi said that the rasengan was the highest form of shape transformation. Chakra spinning wildly in every direction and contained in a sphere. With mastering just one jutsu, Naruto essentially skipped several years of training.'

A smile slowly formed on Daichi's face as he thought about the implications. 'If I can master the Rasengan, then I'll have completed the Shape transformation training. And it's a perfect jutsu to get me out of tight situations.... That's the pros of learning Rasengan. The cons are Kakashi, Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Danzo and probably everyone else who's seen the fourth Hokage fight would have their eyes on me. That's not a good thing. At least at my current level anyway.'

"I can keep that jutsu a secret but... I know that no secret stays buried forever. The only thing I might have any control over is how long I could keep it hidden..."

Daichi weighed the pros and cons of learning that technique. After a couple of minutes he came to a decision.

"Hmm... No risk, no reward... I'll train the rasengan but I'll have to tell the old man. I won't be able to train it to perfection if I keep it a secret from him. But I need a convincing story for my knowledge on the Rasengan."

Daichi came up with several ways he could explain the knowledge but immediately disregarded them due to the holes in the explanations. As he thought about it, an idea came to his mind. He got up and went to Kensei's library.

Daichi started going through scrolls and books trying to find ones that detail Chakra training. After a few minutes of searching he came across a handwritten notebook detailing various jutsu. Curiosity won and Daichi decided to check them out.

"This must be the old man's notes." Daichi flipped the pages and came across various techniques of all natures. "Damn. Based on these notes the old man has studied plenty of Jutsu' during his time."

As Daichi flipped another page he suddenly stopped. The jutsu listed on the page was the one he was looking for.

"Rasengan... So the old man did see it and tried to study the technique." Daichi read the observations made by Kensei.

'An A rank technique created with no hand seals. Based on my observation it is a spinning ball of chakra held in the caster's palm. Upon closer look I concluded that the chakra is spinning in several directions. The chakra control and power needed to create such a technique must be beyond normal shinobi. I have also noticed that once the ball is formed it maintains its shape without the chakra dissipating until it comes into contact with something.'
