  Training Ground 3

  "Well, we got plenty of water here thanks to your jutsu. So how do you want to get started?" Kakashi asked Daichi.

  "You remember the Ice sword I got on our st mission?"

  "Yeah it rings a bell. But I don't remember seeing you in a with that yet." The Jonin said with a chuckle. Daichi had a smile hearing that and sooook the sword out of a scroll. The Genin still remembered the details his 'observe' skill showed him.

  [Frost Sword] [Special Item: Rank A]

  [The Frost Sword is a Special Raem created by Katsura Sadoshi. It is his greatest creation till date. This on is created by studying the Kekkei Genkai geics of a member of the Yuki d the DNA is extracted and used iing this sword. This sword freeze water, create and unch massive waves of id more. Only someoh higher than average chakra reserves and oh high affinity to Water use this sword. This is a melee on that shoot ice projectiles and be used both defensively and offensively.

  his sword was created using the blood of a member of The Yuki d thus it create Id mimic the abilities of that .

  Members not part of the Yuki use this sword but the chakra cost is high.

  Members of the Yuki use this sword with minimal chakra cost.]

  Daichi looked at the sword with an intense gaze. 'If I uand the inner ws of this sword, how it uses someone's chakra into creating ice, then I'll be oep closer to achieving my goal.'

  "So that's the on huh. That man who worked for the Lightning Twins must have been araordinary bcksmith to create something like this." Kakashi came close and looked at the magnifit on.

  Daiodded. "Yeah. If I figure out its secrets or at least uand some parts of its inner meics then I'm sure I create my oweiques."

  "Well the's get started."

  Hearing his sensei, Daichi got ready. Both the teacher and student were standing on top of a small ke created as a result of Daichi's test Rasengan variant. The Genied a couple of shadow es so that they could trate on the chakra flow when the sword is in use.

  The real Daichi gripped the Frost sword in his right hand and eled some of his chakra into it. He pced the tip of the sword atop the surface of the new small ke and quickly the water under Daichi began to freeze. The water underh Daichi's feet became solid and soon it spread.

  Kakashi had his Sharingan out and was keenly the sword in Daichi's hand. After a few seds he came to a clusion. 'I 't copy it. Not only does the user create Ice with no hand seals, that sword is somehow mimig the chakra flow of the Yuki . It seems that man was able to harhe geic disposition that gave the Yuki members their ability to use Ice jutsu and somehow artificially replicate that ability and transpnt it into a sword. The vast knowledge and skills one would o do something like that…'

  Kakashi watched as the ice spread in all dires from underh Daichi. The Joni out a tired sigh as he thought about the situation.

  'If any other vilge had gotten their hands on him then it would have been a disaster. It was best that he died on that ship. This is something that would tip the bance of power between nations. If ons like this and the armor used by them were mass produced it would have soon caused an all out war.'

  Daichi was unaware of his teacher's thoughts and was just focused on the on in his hand. The temperature in the area dropped little by little as the ice spread. Soon the ice covered over a hundred meters and in the ter was Daichi. He let out a deep breath of air and he could see his breath due to the cold temperature.

  The Gamer ninja waited for several seds but he didn't get any notificatiarding the use of the sword.

  'Hmm… I didn't get any Ice creation notification. It seems I'll have to personally create Ice to get that affinity.'

  At that moment Daichi's shadow es came near him and one of them dispelled. Daichi got the memories of his e and quickly analyzed what it had learhe es had been using chakra senses and had all their attention focused on the Frost sword.

  'When using the sword they sehe use of Wind chakra nature and Water chakra nature w in tandem. My chakra ged when it flowed through the on. There was something else… Something that ged the properties of my chakra to help in making a new element. Hmm…'

  "What do you think sensei?" Daichi looked at his teacher for advice.

  "That sword somehow duplicate the Kekkei Genkai ability of the Yuki . It doesn't have hand seals and the way the chakra moves through the sword… I 't copy the creation of Ice but…" The instant Kakashi went through several different seals.

  "Ice style - Barrier Jutsu."

  An ice wall suddenly sprung forth in front of Kakashi from the Ice that was created thanks to Daichi's sword.

  "This is one of the jutsus I copied during a mission in the Land of Snow some time ago. There were people there not part of the Yuki that could use the existing Ice for their teiques." Kakashi said to his student.

  "But nds with snow and ice are not that on. And I might not always get to use this sword. So what happens in situations like that?" Daichi didn't say everything that was on his mind. 'This is also a test run. I o see if I create other plicated elements. The knowledge I would gain from this is invaluable.'

  "Well Daichi, I think the solution is simple." The silver haired Jonin said with a knowing grin.

  The Genin already knew what the man was going to say. "Let me guess. I o learn how to create Ice first."

  "Yup. I have an idea on how to do that. I got it from that sword." The Jonin gave Daichi his thoughts and the Genin was silent.

  "I o think this through." With that Daichi put the Frost sword bato his scroll and walked to a nearby tree. He sat down and soon begaating.

  —-

  Kakashi was lying on the ground reading his favorite book but occasionally his eyes would drift to his student. Daichi had beeating under a tree for several hours and reparing himself to create a mixed Nature jutsu.

  The man sighed a back to reading but his mind was on what his student said earlier and the advice he gave Daichi. 'Creating Ice jutsu is no easy task. it even be doo copy a Kekkei Genkai ability… That's a tall order. I could only do it because of my Sharingan.' The Jonin sighed a back to reading. He would patiently wait till his student was ready.

  With deep meditation Daichi was rest his health, stamina and chakra and was also mentally preparing himself. A few hours went by and he was back to his peak.

  'Its time.'

  Moments ter he opened his eyes a out a deep breath of air. He got up and stretched himself a pletely refreshed. Kakashi, who saw his student up and about, put his reading material bato his poud stood.

  "So any thoughts?" The Jonin asked.

  Daiodded. "I've been going over what you said. And you're partially right."

  "Partially?" The silver haired Jonin slightly tilted his head.

  "I've been thinking it over and your method is one of the two best ways to create Ice." Daichi spoke.

  Seeing Kakashi's silence, Daichi eborated on his theory. "I don't have the Yuki 's Kekkei Genkai, so I 't create Ice out of nothing. But I'm sure I use existing Id use Ice jutsu and mimic their 's abilities. But for that I o learn to turn water into ice. Because the Ice I o use must have at least a tiny portion of my chakra. At least right now when I'm learning anyway. Without that it's no use. You showed me the signs for some Ice jutsu you got from the Land of Snow and told me about the method to use Wind Chakra nature to cool down water and turn it to ice."

  The Jonin nodded his head. "Yes. Based on what I know the Yuki members bine Wind chakra nature and Water chakra nature to create and use Ice Style. My Sharingan also saw something simir happening within that sword when it was used earlier. That's why I suggested using Wind Nature."

  Daichi agreed with that statement. "Right. But there is one more way. Using Fire Chakra Nature."

  Kakashi slightly narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? Isn't Fire Nature used for creating steam teiques?"

  "Yes. But there is much more. Ice, water and steam. They are all reted. Ice exists when atoms of water are bound together and they have no movement or the least amount of motion. But whe or energy is applied the atoms get energized and they beobile and so ice melts and bees water. And to that water if ly even more heat and energy the movements of the atoms bee even faster. Thus water boils and bees steam. It's basic chemistry. But this is what will help me."

  Kakashi was beginning to have an idea of what his student was attempting to do and he was impressed. 'To manipute elements on an atomic level like that with his chakra. Especially when he has no special geic advantages… He's just 12 years old and he's already e so far. This kid truly is a genius in Ninjutsu.'

  "When ly heat to ice it bees water. You're implying that we do the reverse and remove heat from water and turn it bato ice." Kakashi figured out Daichi's idea and on the possibilities of such a method. 'That could also theoretically work.'

  "Precisely. Mastering the sed step of the Fire Nature allowed me to learn to trol the temperature and make variations to the heat emitted from my jutsu. I want to apply that cept. But all of this is a theory. And I'm not sure where I should start." Daichi looked at his sensei fuidand Kakashi was silent for a few moments befiving his two ts.

  "So we have two possible methods to create Ice. One, using wind chakra nature to cool the water down to its solid form. Two, use fire nature to remove heat and turn water to ice. Hmm… Why don't we try both? But not at once."

  Daichi was silent as he nodded his head to that suggestion.

  Kakashi tinued. "We'll try to create Ice using both methods and see whie's the best. Let's start with Fire Nature. And if the results aren't what you want we move on to Wind Nature. That way you'll be able to see the differend you use the best option for your teiques."

  Daiodded and looked around and saw some small water puddles. "I'll start small then work my ."

  The Jonin agreed and both of them went to a nearby small puddle. Daichi sat down on the muddy ground, pced both his hands on the surface of the small puddle and trated.

  Kakashi looked at his student and at that moment another idea struck him. 'Hmm… Yes. If this experiment is successful then could that also be a possibility? But it would be more difficult since he has to maintain focus on two natures at once…'

  The Jonin didn't say anything since he didn't want to disturb his student from his current task. He looked on after a short while the water stilled. Kakashi's eyes slightly widened as he saw a small yer of i atop the water. His Sharingan was focused on Daichi's chakra flow. 'He's using fire nature in such a refined manner. With his chakra he's extrag the heat from the water and it's slowly cooling down.'

  Daichi sat there with his eyes closed and just focused on his task. Thanks to all the chakra trol training and nature training he had done so far the task Daichi was attempting was yieldis much faster thaicipated.

  In just a few minutes a thin yer of ice covered the small puddle of water. Daichi kept fog on his work but the sounds of several notifications popping up made him stop.

  He looked at the partially frozen water in front of him and had a big grin on his face.

  "It seems your theory is correct Daichi. You create Ice by using Fire Nature. That's impressive."

  "Thanks sensei. Now that I've got the hang of it, I o train it to acceptable levels. After that I'll start to work osu." Daichi spoke and the silver haired Jonin agreed.

  "Well, I'm gd I could help Daichi. Now this is something you only do on your own. Good luck." With that Kakashi pulled the headband over his Sharingan and walked to a dry spot to tinue his reading.

  Daichi looked at the notifications that appeared and a smile was on his face.

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

  [By tinuously fog your chakra to manipute the heat of a substahe skill Fire: Heat Manipution has beeed.]

  [Fire: Heat Manipution - (Active/Passive) (LV. 01): This is a skill created through the meticulous use of Fire chakra nature and is a subdivision of Fire Affinity. This teique will help the user increase their strength, trol and speed over the heat manipution of a substahis skill allows the user to create, shape and manipute heat by increasing the Kiiergy of atoms and thus make things hotter. This process also be used in reverse to remove heat from certain objects and cool them down.]

  [Effects:]

  [2% Increase i manipution and trol.]

  [0.5% Increase in power of Fire chakra Nature.]

  [he chakra used for this teique depends oems this skill is used on.]

  The grin on Daichi's face got wider as he looked at the new skill. 'With this I'll be able to increase the firepower of my Fire jutsus and eve in a more versatile way. I have so many ideas I 't wait. But for now, I o stay trated oask at hand.'

  The Genin calmed himself and got back to work. He created multiple es and they all picked a spot and started w.

  —-

  Days passed by with Daichi making steady progress. Almost 10 days passed with non-stop day and night training and finally his efforts paid off. Daichi increased the heat manipution skill to max level and was able to freeze a rge portion of water in seds. But it wasn't all he did.

  The gamer ninja used the Frost sword dozens of times to study the chakra flow and how it uses his energy to create a new element. After a while he grasped the secrets and it was finally time to put his training and theories to the test.

  "You ready Daichi?" Kakashi asked as he stood atop the river flowing through the middle of their training ground.

  "Yup. Bring it."

  The Jonin nodded and quickly made several seals. 'Water style - Water torrent jutsu.'

  The sed Kakashi made the final seal for the teique, a rge spiraling torrent of water bsted out of the river and headed straight for Daichi. The Genin slightly jumped to the side and narrowly avoided the jutsu. He looked at the spiraling water jutsu that was still active and quickly brought his hands upon it.

  'I o make sure the water doesn't shred my palms. Create minimum tad use the opportunity to maximum efficy.'

  Daichi brought his palms he surface of the water jutsu and before Kakashi's jutsu could do any damage, Daichi used his heat manipution ability.

  The water around Daichi's palm was quickly frozen and it swiftly spread throughout the teique till it reached its in point in the river.

  Kakashi watched as Daichi's chakra overtook his water jutsu and tur into a long spiraling ice structure. He let go of the teique and jumped to the ground.

  "Ready for the part?"

  Daiodded to the Jonin's question and quickly made several hand signs that ended with a dog seal. "Ice style - Needle barrage."

  On the surface of the newly created ice structure several ieedles formed and then unched forward with speed ahality.

  "Haha! Yes! Hell yeah!" Daichi was excited that he was finally able to successfully create Id copy a Kekkei Genkai ability.

  "Well what do you know? It works. Well done Daichi." Kakashi was impressed with the results of their one month training. 'Not only did he create a Water version of the Rasengan, he was able to create hidden jutsus specific to the Yuki .'

  For Daichi, at that moment two new notifications arrived.

  [You have used your first Iature jutsu.]

  [You have acquired the skill Ice Affinity.]
