Chapter 170: Ninjutsu Mastery of Tobirama Senju

Hiruzen was slightly surprised when he heard that answer. 'I thought he would start with his primary affinity. Earth'

The old kage was silent for a few moments as he contemplated the choice.

"Water is certainly a versatile element. Can you tell me the reason for choosing that?" He asked the boy.

Daichi weighed the pros and cons of telling the man why he wanted to start with that. A couple seconds later he ultimately decided to inform the kage of his reasons.

"The versatility of water isn't just in its attack and defense. It's also in its element. Water when cooled down can be turned into ice or if heat is applied can be turned to steam. Ice and steam is something most people see as different elements but at their core they are a subdivision of water."

Kakashi and Hiruzen's eyes widened as they realized where the boy was going with this and they were astonished at what Daichi was intending to do.

"You don't actually think you can use Ice Kekkei Genkai jutsu do you?" Hiruzen asked. In his mind he already knew the answer but he wanted to hear it from Daichi's mouth.

"Yes sir. But not in the way you think." Daichi replied.

Seeing the Hokage's silence, Daichi continued.

"I'm not from the Yuki clan so I won't be able to create Ice particles out of nothing and use Ice style jutsu like them. But if I master water nature to its highest degree, even greater than Lord Second, then I believe I'll be able to turn the existing water around me to Ice and use that to my advantage. By removing heat and cooling down water to 0C then I'll be able to create Ice. The same in the opposite can also be done and I get steam." Daichi replied and looked at the Hokage.

Hiruzen was amazed at what he heard. It reminded him of the few times with the second Hokage where the man would tell him theories on what was possible. "The logical answer to what you just said is that it's an impossibility"

The young Genin said nothing as he looked at his leader.

Hiruzen sighed and spoke. "Daichi what you're saying You're not the first person to think that. Lord Second also had theories that it could be achieved but he was never able to do it Do you really believe you can succeed where he failed?"

The boy gave a small smile and replied. "I won't know unless I try?"

"You're determined to go through with this aren't you?"

"Yes sir."

Hearing Daichi's strong hearted reply, Hiruzen got up from his seat and went to the corner of his room. He made several seals in a second and focused his chakra on a particular seal etched into the floor. The next second a box appeared and Hiruzen opened it. Rummaging through it for a minute he found what he was looking for.

Hiruzen closed the box and the next second it vanished. He made his way back. 'In the handful of decades only a few powerful ninjas have ever laid their eyes on this. And I'm about to give this to a Genin no less Even if I refuse, he's just going to go to Kensei and one way or the other I'm sure Daichi will get what he wants. He's becoming so strong in such a short amount of time'

Hiruzen hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to give the boy a chance. He gave the scroll to Daichi and sat down in his chair.

The young Genin took the scroll and inspected it. It was a dark blue scroll with the insignia of the Senju clan on it.

"That scroll was written by the Second Hokage himself. His training methods and the theories on Water Nature The possibilities All of them are written down in detail. Your talent is undeniable. Since you've insisted on this, lets see what you can do." Hiruzen spoke.

Daichi pocketed the scroll and bowed to the man. "Thank you Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen nodded his head. "Make sure to keep that safe and return it to either me or Tsunade."

Daichi nodded his head and a short while later the Hokage dismissed them.

Kakashi and Daichi were walking down the streets at a slow pace. "You're going to dive right in and not waste time aren't you." Kakashi asked the boy as he read his book.

"You know me so well sensei."

The Jonin sighed as he thought about the extra workload. 'And here I was looking forward to a relaxing few weeks'

Kakashi then asked Daichi for the scroll and took a look at it. He quickly went through it and reached the training portion mentioned in the scroll.

"The third step is divided into several tasks. In it, to complete the third step of Water Nature the person must first extract water out of the leaf without making physical contact." Daichi said.

"Hmm This seems like the reverse of the first step. In the first step one had to concentrate on their chakra and turn that chakra to water nature. That's how the leaf becomes wet. But it seems here, one must focus their chakra and extract the water present inside the leaf. Resulting in the leaf drying up." Kakashi spoke as he went through the details.

Daichi nodded. "It's a lot more challenging than it seems. You have to be perfect in extracting water and just the water content from the leaves. Any damage to the leaves would also indicate a failure. Turning one's own chakra into a different nature is one thing but this It is doable but far more challenging."

'But luckily I was trained in medical ninjutsu. I know how to identify different substances. Even microparticles and extract them without damaging the surrounding areas. And since I have the gamer system and with my perfect chakra control and high water affinity, I should be able to get this soon.'

"Well, since you were so eager, let's get to work." Kakashi also decided not to waste time and got into his own training. He pulled his headband up revealing the Sharingan.

And like that the next stage of Daichi's training began. He created 10 clones and each one picked several leaves and sat down in the meditative pose. They placed the leaves at least a meter away from them and concentrated.

Daichi and his clones slowly spread chakra through their hands and extended the chakra to the leaves. They kept their chakra neutral and carefully examined the object.

'Analyze the material composition and identify the different elements in it.'

Daichi concentrated his chakra and examined the leaf. It was more difficult without the specific Medical Analysis Ninjutsu that's used on patients.

'This is also a test in how one uses their chakra and how much control they have. The level must be delicate, if not the leaf will get damaged.'

Daichi's concentration reached its peak. All the voices surrounding him disappeared and he was single mindedly focused on his task. As he kept it up, he suddenly found it. He found water particles inside the leaf and concentrated on them. Slowly but carefully he began extracting them. Slowly and carefully moving the water particles through the veins to the upper epidermis and outer layer.

Daichi opened his eyes and let out a breath. He looked at the leaf and saw it. A drop of water was on the leaf he focused on.

"Hahaha. Yes!"

Daichi immediately created a shadow clone and dispelled it. With the clones having more to work with now they redoubled their efforts.

Soon they began to see results.

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

[Through continuously concentrating chakra to an object and extracting water, the skill 'Water Extraction technique' has been created.]

The smile on Daichi's face only widened.

Author's Note:

Don't worry you guys. I'm not gonna make you go through another long training arc.

I wrote this chapter to establish that Daichi had started his next stage of training. I wanted things to have a somewhat scientific root instead of the explanation that 'its chakra and thus equivalent to magic' BS. I hope I got it right.

Next chapter we're back to the Genin missions and other stuff

And on the matter of Daichi's Tiger summon, he will be tested to see if he's worthy shortly before Canon starts.
