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

Chapter 164 - The Daily Life of a Genin

It was early morning. The Sun had only broken through the horizon a short time ago.

The sounds of weapons clashing could be heard throughout the forest. Sasuke and Daichi were engaged in a spar at their usual meeting place. They were battling each other and measuring each other's improvements. The spar had been going on for a couple hours.

Daichi tilted his body to the side and evaded the fast punch Sasuke sent his way. He then ducked under a high kick and sent a leg sweep trying to unbalance the Uchiha. Sasuke jumped back and immediately threw several shuriken at Daichi.

The boy took a kunai and deflected all the weapons and then immediately jumped away from where he was standing.

Several shuriken came from the back and landed on the spot the next second.

Daichi stood on a thick tree branch and smiled at Sasuke. "I see you rigged the whole place with traps. Not bad. But it's a shame it won't work on me."

Sasuke just smirked and made a hand seal. The next second Daichi was engulfed in a small explosion.

Even as Sasuke stood there vigilant, he was unable to sense the kunai at the back of his neck until it was too late. Sensing his defeat the young Uchiha just grunted.

"You've gotten a lot better. Your speed, reaction time and techniques have certainly improved." Daichi said as he put the weapon back in his pouch.

Sasuke turned around to look at his sparring partner. "I could say the same about you. It feels like I'm taking 1 step forward and you're taking 10."

Daichi went under a tree and sat down. "You'll catch up. The way you're improving, you'll be able to match me soon. You're already head and shoulders above the rest of the class."

"They don't matter. I don't care about them. If I need to reach my goal then I'll have to go at the pace you're going. The only way I'll get stronger and stronger is if I fight stronger opponents. Like you." The young Uchiha said.

"You know it's not just about physical strength. They could be a great asset if you let them." Daichi wanted Sasuke to form bonds with his peers. He wanted to see if he could turn the Uchiha away from the future that's written.

Sasuke smirked and looked at Daichi. "Have you ever asked for their help when you needed something?"

Daichi just sighed and remained silent. 'This is going to be a lot harder than I initially thought. Time to change the topic.'

Daichi asked a question that's been on his mind for a while. "How goes your progress with awakening your Sharingan?"

Sasuke soured upon hearing that question. "I tried to control my emotions, meditation, intense training... Nothing. I haven't awakened my eyes yet. It's so frustrating."

Daichi just nodded.

"So how's being a Genin?" Sasuke suddenly asked.

"Not bad. I'm just starting out so the missions assigned to me are easy ones."

"What about your teammates? Are they any good?" Sasuke wanted to know who Daichi was partnered up with.

"Actually it's just me and Sensei. We're a special two man Genin team."

"What? Is that even a thing?" Sasuke had never heard of anything like that and he was understandably surprised.

Daichi just shrugged and replied. "My skills were above them by a large margin. And it would have caused an imbalance. So it was decided that I would be part of a 2 man Genin team. Me and my sensei."
