Chapter 227 - Rasengan Variants 01

Daichi and over two dozen of his clones were on an island training and battling various enemies. It had been two days since he came to this dungeon and the Gamer ninja had made great progress in improving his Vitality and Stamina stats.

'I absorbed the Health and Stamina of 11 enemies so far and killed the weaker ones that came my way. So far from this dungeon I already got 31 Vitality and 26 Stamina points. And having my HP and CP restored has helped me greatly.'

Daichi was training the new elemental Rasengans. So the boost provided by the Life return skill was invaluable. The Genin and a small group of his clones were infusing Wind Chakra Nature to the Rasengan and after multiple attempts over a day he finally had a finished product. Sweat was dripping down his face and he was breathing slightly harder than normal but there was a smile on Daichi's face.

The Genin looked at the small white orb of energy with small blades surrounding it. The new jutsu was no larger than the palm of his hand. It emitted a small humming sound as it rotated wildly.

'Took me around 30 hours to complete this. Kakashi was right in the manga. You need a certain instinct and incredible skill to mix the chakra nature to the Rasengan and create a jutsu like this. For Naruto to create this jutsu, he isn't without talent. But unlike canon Naruto, I don't need two clones to help me create this.'

A shadow clone came near Daichi and inspected the jutsu. "The chakra feels powerful and I can sense powerful vibrations in the air being created by this technique. And the sound emitting from this... I don't think we'll be able to take someone by surprise with this jutsu... How does it feel?"

Daichi looked at the spinning white orb of energy in his hand quietly. "This jutsu is still in its compact form. The clone that used the complete version earlier with the shuriken blades was destroyed from the backlash. Based on the memories I received there will be negative feedback from the jutsu. But that's only the case if we use the completed version. The Wind style Rasenshuriken. This compact form on the other hand… There isn't damage to the user. At least not when I'm just holding it. Time to test it out."

Daichi started with the Wind style Rasengan because it was the one he had seen and knew would be the easiest to create. 'Time to see the effects. I need to see what this attack does to a strong body.'

There were a few clones to the side that captured and restrained a few dungeon enemies just for such an occasion. Daichi looked at one such captured enemy and nodded to himself.

The enemy was a half fishman similar to Onizaki but this one had hard shells to protect his internal organs.

'He has high level defense and a powerful body with strong turtle like shells covering his upper torso. He'll do nicely.'

Without wasting another second Daichi rushed to the restrained ninja and slammed the small Wind style Rasengan to the dungeon creature's chest.

BOOM

A screeching sound was heard as the small Wind style Rasengan blasted him away. The jutsu slightly expanded and Daichi could see it ripping up chunks of its victim. The jutsu kept attacking for several seconds before fading away and at that moment Daichi received a new notification.

[Skill Rasengan: Wind Style has leveled up]

[+1000 Exp.]

[+150 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [22/199]

Daichi then opened his skill list and looked at the new jutsu.

[Rasengan: Wind Style - Active (Lv. 04): This jutsu was created by mixing Wind Chakra Nature to the existing jutsu 'Rasengan'. This technique is a powerful destructive jutsu that uses the wind as its weapon. There are several variations to this jutsu and the power and destructive capabilities can be altered.]

[Note: Using the fully formed variation of this jutsu can cause damage to the body but a really strong physique or sage jutsu can negate this side effect.]

[Effects:]

[2000 minimum Damage points when striking the enemy.]

[Deals an additional 2000% Damage to the enemy after 2 seconds.]

[Destroys internal organs, chakra coils and most chakra based defense skills.]

[Can expand and increase range according to the users will.]

[CP cost: 3330 minimum.]

'Over 3000 Chakra points cost. This is the highest CP cost technique currently in my arsenal. But that might change by the time I have all 5 different Rasengans.'

At this moment several new notifications popped up in front of Daichi. The Genin looked at the new notifications and a smile formed on his face. 'It seems my clones have been using the superior Touch skill so much under water that it finally maxed out.'

Daichi's clones have been battling a few enemies underwater and they had to use the Touch sense skill to the extreme to keep an eye on all speed based enemies. And the training finally paid off.

[+1200 Exp.]

[+180 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [23/199]

[Skill Superior Touch has leveled up]

.

[Congratulations. You have successfully trained a skill to its highest level.]

[500 Exp.]

[75 Exp.]

[+3 Sense Stat]

[Skill Superior Touch has reached level 50. Evolving skill.]

[Skill evolved into Hyper Tactility.]

.

[Hyper Tactility - Active/Passive(LV. MAX): A skill obtained through evolving the skill Superior Touch. This skill is a LV. MAX skill with various effects. The sense of touch of the user has increased beyond normal. The user can increase the range of this sense as he needs. But this has limitations.

[Note: Negative side effects associated with having a more sensitive skin does not apply to the user. Gamer's Mind will neutralize negative side effects of sensory overload. With training more and more effects can be added onto this skill.]

[Effects]

[The user can feel the most subtle disturbances in the air and discern the landscape and location of all things.]

[The user is able to determine the location of the target with more accuracy.]

[The range of this sense depends on the user.]

[CP Cost depends on the user.]

'This is a very useful skill. I can keep track of multiple enemies on a battlefield without using chakra senses and even be aware of attacks coming from my blindspot.'

At that moment a new blue box appeared and the contents surprised Daichi.

[Note: All your senses have evolved. The new effect 'Prediction' is added to the skill Analyze.]

.

[Analyze - Active (LV. 14) A skill given when the user receives the Title 'A Genius of the Continent.' This skill allows the user to analyze a person's technique or fighting style and with enough understanding, perfectly copy or recreate it with modifications.]

[Note: This skill has certain limitations. The user can only understand the skills the target is using. Stronger effects will be added at higher levels.]

[Effects:]

[28% Faster understanding of the target's technique when using the skill.

Prediction: The user can predict with 8% accuracy of the target's next move seconds before the target makes them. This can also be applied to Taijutsu and certain other techniques.

CP cost: None.]

'Prediction huh. Not bad at all. As my Analyze skill levels up I'm sure that 8% will also increase.'

Letting out a deep breath of air, the Gamer ninja prepared for the next elemental Rasengan.

'Time to create a Fire Rasengan.'

—-

It has been over 15 days since the Gamer ninja entered the Demon island dungeon. Daichi battled all sorts of enemies such as large sea creatures and half fish and half human hybrids. Several skills have leveled up and he got two level ups as well. But his main focus was creating the 4 different types of Rasengans. So far he was able to create 3.

'Before, I couldn't train in a dungeon like this because of my low chakra and strength. I couldn't make shadow clones that kept my enemies busy while I just focused on training. And I was afraid that if I spent too long in a dungeon and my body grew older it would look suspicious to everyone else. But now, since I have a month leave, that's not an issue. After I complete this dungeon and return, I'll just have to leave the house before I get spotted by the old man.'

[+202.5 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [118/199]

Daichi was currently battling a giant yellow crab like creature with 9 legs. Its shell was tougher than anything he had seen so far in the dungeon.

Dodging two water jets coming from its mouth, Daichi immediately rushed to its blind spot while a few clones attacked it with weaker jutsu and Genjutsu to keep it distracted. 'Just a few seconds. That's all I need.'

He began concentrating chakra to his palms and several seconds later a red flaming ball appeared atop Daichi's palm.

Immediately the surrounding temperature began to soar and the clothes on Daichi's body began to catch on fire.

'Just as the wind style jutsu creates a humming sound and vibrations in the air, the fire style jutsu increases the temperature of the surroundings.'

[-87 HP]

The flaming ball reminded Daichi of Escanor's cruel sun technique. 'I knew this would resemble something like that.'

As the creator of the jutsu Daichi didn't suffer too much damage from the heat but his HP still dropped by a small margin.

The giant crab sensed the heat coming from Daichi's jutsu and turned its head. It looked at the small Orange flaming ball resembling a miniature sun in Daichi's hand and immediately sensed the danger it posed.

It tried to get away but Daichi's shadow clones kept it in place while the real one rushed towards his enemy. Jumping up high, Daichi slammed the flaming sphere right on top of the crab's back.

'Fire Style - Hell Star Rasengan.'

Just as the jutsu made contact, several shadow clones attached chakra threads to the real Daichi and pulled him away from the jutsu range.

.

[Fire Style - Hell Star Rasengan - Active (Lv.02): This jutsu was created by mixing Fire Chakra Nature to the existing jutsu 'Rasengan'. This technique is a powerful destructive jutsu that uses the Fire as its weapon. There are several variations to this jutsu and the power and destructive capabilities can be altered.]

[Note: Using the fully formed variation of this jutsu can cause damage to the body but a really strong physique or sage jutsu can negate this side effect.]

[Effects:]

[2300 minimum Damage points when striking the enemy.]

[Deals an additional 1800% Damage to the enemy after 2 seconds.]

[Burns the target to ash and can destroy most chakra based defense skills.]

[Can expand and increase range according to the users will.]

[New Fire jutsu can be created and used from the Fire tornado created.]

[CP cost: 3500 minimum]

The small fireball Rasengan expanded and just after 3 seconds it exploded upwards into a red flaming tornado. It completely encompassed the creature as the flames spun in a vortex.

Daichi looked at the effects of the jutsu and then to his right hand which was being healed by a clone. 'Third degree and some second degree burns. This jutsu is more dangerous than the wind variation. This jutsu reduces all things to ashes and its range expands.'

[+3000 Exp.]

[+450 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [119/199]

Just then a ring of fire spread from the Fire tornado in all directions and Daichi and his clones had to create defense domes and take cover. Seconds later the fire tornado collapsed in on itself and disappeared. A charred husk with no flesh was the only thing left of the creature before it disappeared into ash a couple seconds later.

But the true aftereffects of the jutsu were clear as Daichi looked at the sky. Dark clouds were quickly forming and seconds later rain, lightning and thunder dominated the sky.

'This jutsu can rapidly change the temperature and even create thunderclouds. If I can recreate Sasuke's Kirin attack then I can use the Fire Style- Hell Star Rasengan as the precursor. But there's more. What would a combination of Wind Style and Fire style Rasengans detonating together look like? I'll have to find out one of these days.'

At this time several battles were happening all around the dungeon. One of Daichi's shadow clones has been fighting several sea creatures atop the ocean waves.

The shadow clone used body flicker and avoided several lethal strikes while creating a short distance between him and his enemies. 'I need to attack them and finish them all at once.'

At that moment a few shadow clones joined the battle and kept the dungeon ninjas busy while the clone decided to test another Rasengan variant.

A dark brown Rasengan formed on Daichi's palm and dust particles slowly started to swirl around it. The jutsu looked like a round sphere with rocks covering the surface and light could be seen coming from the cracks.

Clone Daichi fell to one knee and used his left hand to support the right palm. 'Damn! This jutsu is so heavy. The weight of this Rasengan is unbelievable. I can't even effectively move with this jutsu active. The density of this technique… I knew when creating Earth Nature Rasengan that factor would come into play but still… Feels like I'm holding over 5 tons of weight on my palm.'

Taking a deep breath of air, the genin stood up. Carefully maintaining the jutsu Daichi tensed his muscles and the next second took off towards the group of dungeon enemies. The other clones forced them to group together and Daichi came in with the Earth Style Rasengan in just the right time.

The Gamer ninja slammed the Earth Rasengan into the one standing in the middle and he disappeared the next second. The other clones immediately backed away and the real Daichi also turned his head and looked in their direction.

The person the jutsu struck and those that were near him immediately turned into stone due to the effects of the technique. But that was only the first stage of the Earth Rasengan. Just 2 seconds later a small explosion happened and a mountain started forming from the middle of the group of sea creatures and it quickly expanded. The sea became turbulent and earth kept pouring out from the center of the Rasengan and soon a small mountain formed in the middle of the ocean and it quickly began sinking.

Large violent waves spread across all directions as the aftereffects of the jutsu ended.

[+1900.5 Exp.]

Enemies killed: [126/199]

[You have leveled up]

The real Daichi who was standing on the island nearby nodded his head in satisfaction.

'Earth Style Rasengan - Great Eruption… Use a few of these and I can effectively create a new island or reshape the landscape. All living creatures that come in contact with the jutsu get turned to stone almost instantly and then during the second phase whoever remains will get crushed and buried in the mountain of earth that's created. If I had used this jutsu on land, there definitely would have been a mild earthquake.'

Just then another notification popped up.

[25 Stat points have been added to your Chakra stat as per the natural growth of your body. This stat update will occur twice a year.]

'Huh. That's good. So as my body naturally grows the system will automatically send points to compensate for that. Good. I was right it seems. That's another problem down.'
