Chapter 148: Genin Test 02

Chapter 148: Genin Test 02

While Seto and Mari disappeared from their position and hid in the forest, Daichi only jumped back several feet and gained some distance from his opponent. He looked at the new quest that appeared in front of him.

[Quest Created] - 'Get the Bells.'

Complete the task Kakashi Hatake has assigned you. Obtain the two bells. There are two ways you can complete this test. Time Limit: Before Noon.

You have two options.

[Option 2:]

[Rewards:]

Very Low probability of becoming Genin.

10000 Exp.

.

[Failure:]

If you cannot retrieve the bells in the designated time the quest is considered a failure.

Will not become a Genin for another year.

[Note: You can use either method any time. This quest is automatically accepted. The rewards will only be given after the official announcement of the results.]

Daichi quickly read the contents of the quest and came to an understanding. 'So to pass I have two options. Either I go solo and get the bells on my own or I work with my team. But if I chose to play solo then the probability of becoming a Genin is very low But whatever the case, I need to get the bells to pass this test Hmm How should I proceed?'

Daichi looked at the man standing nonchalantly in the middle of the field.

'He's someone who cares about teamwork more than anything. If I ignore the other two, then even if I get the bells, it won't matter It seems the choice is obvious. I have to work with them But I doubt they feel the same I need to show them that cooperation is the only way we're gonna make it past this test.'

"You're an odd one aren't you?" Kakashi's voice took Daichi out of his thoughts.

"What makes you say that?"

"Your teammates have hidden. But you You're just standing there not even bothering to hide Why?"

Daichi smirked, hearing that question. "You're a Jonin. And a pretty good one from what I hear. I doubt ordinary Genin would be capable of escaping your senses. They're still within your range, aren't they? I can tell because they're within mine. If I know where they are, then I'm pretty sure you do too. And it's best to make the first move and gain Intel rather than waste time."

Kakashi's one visible eye narrowed as he looked at the child in front of him. He still remembered how the kid took down three Hidden waterfall ninjas without the slightest difficulty. 'I need to keep my eye on him. He's far ahead of the other two. And I have no doubt he's only improved these last few years. Everything about him tells me he'll fight me alone and ignore the other two.'

Mari and Seto, who were hiding and listening, were surprised. Their eyes widened when they heard that their location was compromised. But they decided not to move in case Daichi was wrong.

Daichi wanted more info on his enemy and used 'Observe' skill on Kakashi.

[?] [Kakashi Hatake]

He then increased the pressure on Daichi's arm. "You are certainly talented. It's true. But tell me Daichi? Do you have the resolve to become a ninja?"

Daichi struggled and turned his head to look at the man. "You have no idea of the strength of my resolve!"

"Then show me. Show me you have what it takes"

Daichi gritted his teeth and tried to pry his right arm away from the Jonin but it was futile. Kakashi had a strong tight grip on his arm.

"Well What now? I thought you were going to show me These types of situations happen all the time. In impossible situations you'll have to make sacrifices. And without a strong heart and the resolve to do what needs to be done, you won't survive. Do you want me to tell you how to escape?"

Daichi was getting angry at the situation. 'I can't believe I let myself get caught like this. There is only one way to get free.'

"The only way you'll get free is if-" Before Kakashi could finish, Daichi made his move.

"RHAA" Daichi increased his chakra flow throughout his body and put pressure on his right shoulder. He forcibly twisted his body around and the sound of bone breaking was heard throughout the clearing.

Kakashi's eye widened in disbelief and he failed to protect himself against the powerful fast kick that Daichi sent his way. It struck his midsection and sent him flying to the other side.

Kakashi back flipped in the air and landed on the ground and looked at Daichi in amazement. 'He broke it. He broke his own arm without hesitation to escape A normal shinobi with a couple years of experience would be willing to break or even cut their limbs off if it means escaping death. But a fresh out of the academy Genin. I didn't see that coming. Unbelievable.'

Daichi looked at the negative status screen and ignored the pain flaring in his shoulder. Gritting his teeth he made a few seals and brought his palm to his broken shoulder. The calm healing green chakra soothed the pain Daichi felt and it started mending the broken bones.

Kakashi saw Daichi making a few one handed seals and green chakra lighting up the left palm and bringing it to his injured shoulder. 'He can use medical ninjutsu with one arm?'

The Jonin ninja watched in amazement as Daichi healed his arm in less than half a minute. He looked into Daichi's eyes and was impressed. 'His will and resolve is strong. He's a rare gem indeed.'

Daichi looked at the man with a serious face. He took several deep breaths and calmed down. A few seconds later a small smile appeared on his face which confused Kakashi.

"Guess now I'll have to go with Plan A." With those words Daichi vanished from his spot.

Seto and Mari were watching the battle with amazement. They saw how Daichi rushed at their teacher and started attacking him without hesitation.

Seto clenched his fists as he saw the Taijutsu fight between his teammate and sensei. 'I didn't think that kid would be so strong Damn it. He's even stronger than me.'

Mari looked at the Jonin who was blocking all attacks Daichi sent with ease and remembered what her brother told her. 'They say he's one of the best Jonin in our Village. And rumor has it that no one has passed his Genin test.'

She clenched her fist in anger. 'I have to pass. Whatever the case.'

Both of them watched the battle between their teammate and sensei. They were surprised at Daichi's speed and strength. They could barely follow his movements. Both of them were shocked when they saw Kakashi getting caught in a fire jutsu.

'No way. Did that kid just kill our new Jonin?'

The shock turned into surprise when they saw Kakashi come out unscathed. They saw the battle playout and looked on as the man pinned Daichi down and talked to him.

"You certainly are a cut above the rest. And most definitely much better than your teammates. I've had to get serious for a second there. Your Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu skills are certainly impressive. On par with a Chunin no doubt. And you only just graduated from the academy. You truly are a genius."

Seto and Mari gritted their teeth in anger when they heard those words. They didn't think someone a year below them could be so much stronger and better than them. It was a harsh blow to their pride.

Both of them watched on and were amazed that Daichi would break his own arm to get free and use medical ninjutsu to heal himself.

'So he can use medical ninjutsu too? Where did this kid come from?'

The next second Daichi vanished from their view.
