  The team of 3 Genin and one shadow e were quickly making their way to the warship.

  "Wow. I 't believe how big this ship is." Lee said as the team came close to the sea vessel.

  "Yeah. And that on in the front. A on like that could do some serious damage." Tenten looked at the giant on and spoke.

  "trate you two. We're here. And they have several people waiting for us on board." Neji used his Byakugan and saw that their approach had already beeed.

  Daichi's shadow e smirked as he heard that. "Well the's not disappoint them."

  The Genins quickly uhemselves onto the side of the ship and made their . They saw over a dozen men with ons and malicious grins waiting for them.

  But among them was oh a menag aura. The middle aged man had long grey hair, striking blue eyes, a crow tattoo uhe right eye, sharp jawline and light skin. He was wearing a dark blue jacket, bck pants and shoes and had a headband with the symbol of the Mist vilge crossed off in the middle.

  Daichi upon seeing the man knew he was strohan your average ninja. He immediately used 'observe' skill.

  [LV.64] [Maki Reijiro]

  Age: 51

  HP: 7452 CP: 11644

  Affiliation: Gdiator pirates.

  [Maki Reijiro was a former ninja from the Hidden Mist vilge. He is a ninja with above average talents who became a in during the 3rd world war. His unique features are his high affinity towards Water chakra nature and higher than average chakra reserves. He is also a talented shipwright due to his father. Almost a year ago he was forced to take the bme for a crime he didn't it uhe orders of his Kage and had to flee the vilge. Before the Hunter ninjas of the vilge could kill him he was saved by the Lightning Twins and he has been with them since. He no longer cares about aher than a few certain people in his crew. He has gotten old and his fighting skills have dimio make up for his g strength he uses special items. He is wearing a Rare Rank armor and wielding the Special rank item, the Frost Sword. Both, made by Katsura Sadoshi, another member of the crew.

  STR - 152

  AGI - 130

  INT - 55

  The physical stats maybe subjected to ge if chakra or teique is applied. ]

  Daichi internally sighed as he saw the info dispyed in the blue box. 'Anuy used and discarded by the vilge. It's no wonder Kisame left that vilge and joined Obito. I kinda feel bad for the guy but I've already decided not to show mery enemies.'

  Daichi paid close attention to the stat and level of his enemy. 'Even though this guy and Akamine were of the same shinobi rank their level and skills are vastly different. Even if he's not in his prime he's a lot strohan that guy Akamine… His chakra level and stats are far higher… And what's this? Frost Sword?... Is that what I think it is?'

  Daichi looked at the man and the most noticeable item in his possession was the sword he was holding in his right arm. The sword was more like a katana. The bde was deep blue and shining in an almost ethereal mahe hilt and guard were made of special darkeeel like material. The bde of the on was emitting a light blue mist.

  'Observe'

  [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 was shocked by what his system showed him. 'A sword that mimic the abilities of the Yuki ? Unbelievable. To create something like that… I must have it. I o study it. That sword will definitely help me in pleting my water Nature training… And the man who made that sword. Katsura Sadoshi. I want him w for me.'

  Several pns formed in Daichi's mind in moments and after a few seds he decided on a certain course of a. 'I 't let the creator of a on like that get taken by Kakashi or any other vilge. I want him on my side. But I'm pretty sure he won't like the way I do it. If my pns work, then the gamble I take will pay off signifitly.'

  Maki looked at the genins and made a decisioioo his men to get babsp;'They will only be fodder to these Genin. It's best not to waste manpower.' He then looked at the 4 Leaf Genin and spoke. "You kids are a long way from home. You should have left when you had the ce."

  "We have a mission to plete and we aren't leaving here without doing so."

  "Yes. You kidnaped i people ahem hostage so their families would work in the mines. We wouldn't turn our backs o such a time."

  Tenten and Lee said getting into a battle staneji was silent but he also prepared himself for the fight.

  "Guys, be careful of that sword. It doesn't look ordinary. I think it's like that armor these guys have." Daichi didn't want the enin's to get blindsided but he didn't give his teammates any more information.

  Maki heard Daichi and smirked. "You have a good eye on you kid. And you're right. This sword is indeed special and you'll see its abilities up close real soon."

  The former Mist ninja made a seal and thick fog suddenly formed around them.

  Daichi had his senses on high alert and was easily keeping track of the enemy. 'Hidden Mist Jutsu. But that won't work. Especially with Neji and me here.'

  "He's ing! 2.4 meters north east of us." Neji quickly shouted to Lee aen.

  Maki stopped his approach as soon as he heard that. 'So I was right. This kid is from the Hyuga . That means he see me with those eyes. Looks like I'll have to use the o as my battleground. 't damage the ship.'

  He quickly formed seals and spit out sticky water aimed at the Genin's feet.

  "Jump!" Neji saw the attaing and shouted.

  Maki smirked as his pn worked. eling chakra to his sword he swung it in the Genin's dire. A small blizzard was created and tossed the 4 Leaf ninjas on to the o a short distance away from the ship and it cleared the mist.

  All of them nded oer without any problems and Daichi made sure to reinforce his shadow e body with chakra to make sure he didn't get dispelled.

  "What happened? Where did that blizzard e from?" Tenten looked towards the ship and was surprised.

  "It's the sword. He eled some of his chakra into it and the sed he was able to create that blizzard." Neji said to his teammates.

  "A sword that create blizzards? I've neve heard of anything like that!" Tenten excimed in shock.

  "I have a feeling that sword do a lot more than just create snow storms." Daichi spoke to make sure they remained on high alert.

  Maki jumped from the ship and made several seals as he nded on the o. The sed his feet touched the water several tendril of water shot out and attacked the 4 Genin.

  The Leaf ninjas quickly evaded the water style jutsu. Neji and Lee were rushing towards the Mist ninja to engage in close bat while Tenten and e Daichi stood back to provide support.

  As the two Taijutsu specialists of Team Guy charged towards the enemy, Maki had a devious grin and eled chakra to his sword. "Ice time."

  The sed the water in front of him started freezing and quickly the ice spread in the dire of Lee and Neji. The eyes of the three Genin widened as they saw the attaing.

  Neji and Lee jumped to the side to avoid the ice attack but Maki didn't let up. He eled more chakra to his Frost Sword and sharp ice crystals formed on the surface of the ice ptform and it shot towards the two ninjas at high speed.

  A fireball from Daichi's e quickly intercepted the long dangerous looking ice shards and reduced them to vapor.

  At that time several shuriken, kunai and paper bombs were ing towards Maki and successfully hit their target. The paper bombs exploded, ing the enemy ninja.

  "Got him!" Tenten nded a short ways away with a scroll wide opened in her hands. She smirked as she looked at the success of her attack.

  But her victorious feeling was short-lived when several water bullets shot out of the o surface targeting her. Luckily Daichi used chakra strings to pull her out of the way just in time.

  "Don't let yuard down." Daichi told them and the Genins regrouped. A few meters away the enemy shinobi appeared.

  Maki was impressed with Daichi's reflexes. "You think you save them? Think again!"

  He gripped his sword with both hands, focused his chakra into it and swung it as hand as he could. "Ice storm!"

  Daichi's senses alerted him to the sudden drop in temperature. "Brace yourselves!" A sudden thiowy storm bsted their way and ice crystals slowly started to form on the 4 Genins bodies. The bodies of water around them became frozen solid in a few seds.

  Neji, Lee aen had a hard time moving their bodies as they tried to shield their faces. The Hyuga had an idea as to what their enemy was trying to aplish. 'He's trying to reduovement so he kill us with a more lethal attack.'

  Daichi, even though had a few ice crystals f on him, looked retively calm but he was cautious. 'I 't let myself get dispelled. Time to really help these guys and stop holding back.'

  Daichi increased the chakra flow in his body and tur into fire nature, increasing his body heat. He theed several elemental strings and attached them to his three teammates.

  eling Fire Chakra to the strings, Daichi reguted their body temperature and their surroundings. Thus the ice crystals f on their bodies melted and disappeared.

  "Wow, I only feel mildly cold. Daichi you're awesome." Lee moved his hands and looked at his friend with a grin.

  "Your ninjutsu skills are really impressive. How did you do that? Wait. Did you just use chakra strings?" Tenten asked the boy. She and Lee couldn't see the chakra strings but knew about them due to their previous mission. But there was one who could see it as clear as day.

  'To ge the properties to such a degree so quickly. His trol has gotteer from the st time… Hmm… He did say ninjutsu was his specialty.' Neji was reminded yet again why Daichi was the best in their geion.

  "Yes. He used chakra strings and attached them to our bodies. He ged their properties to Fire Nature to increase the temperature around us." Neji said but he didn't eborate anymore.

  "That's incredible. Just like o mission. Except this time you're proteg us instead of fishes." Tenten said. She knew using Nature chakra was advauff.

  "Its no big deal. And besides, we should focus on that guy. He's probably going to stop using his jutsu any sed now that he see the snow storm has no effe us." Daichi remained in guard and looked at the enemy.

  The gamer ninja was right. Maki scowled seeing his jutsu fail. 'Damn it. I thought this would trap them but it looks like there's one among them who's a profit fire user… And I used quite a bit of my reserves for that. I o be more careful.'

  At that moment he saw Daichi disappear and immediately got away using substitution jutsu.

  The sed Daichi appeared he spot Maki previously stood and narrowed his eyes. The boy used 'Mana scout' and immediately located the man under water a short distance away.

  Neji also tracked the enemy with his eyes. He and his team prepared to attack but stopped when they saw Daichi making several seals.

  'Water Style - Tearing Ripples.'

  A powerful water current in the form of a very rge ripple wave formed uer and spread from Daichi's feet. It was rge and shot in all dires with extraordinary speed.

  Daichi smirked as he looked at the effects of the jutsu. 'A powerful B Rank uer jutsu. Creates several ripples oer the other and sms into your oppo. I even adjust the angle when a new ripple is formed and this will make my enemy keep dodging. This will force you to either go up and out of the water o deeper into the o and if you do so then your body will start to feel the water pressure. Stay below too long and you'll die…'

  Maki saw the rge powerful waves ing in his dire and khat moving down would only bring about his end. He quickly used chakra to swim to the top as fast as he could and reached the surface.

  The sed Daichi and team Guy were on him but when their attaded, the man turned into a water e.

  Maki resurfaced several meters away but this time he didn't have the jovial attitude he had at the beginning.

  "He's a slippery one. And with that sword it'll be difficult t him down." Lee said, looking at the man.

  Neji was using the Byakugan the whole time and made a dedu. "It might not be as difficult as you think Lee. Whenever he uses that sword, his chakra is ed at a higher than average rate. If we force him to use up his chakra or destroy that sword then we defeat him without much difficulty."

  "Destroying that sword is not an option." Daichi said to them.

  The three Genin of team Guy looked at Daichi and frowned. Seeing their questioning gazes the boy answered. "I want to study that sword. If possible, I want to take it from him and use it to improve my Nature training. So destroying the sword is out of the question."

  Tenten and Lee readily nodded since Lee is Daichi's friend aen was fasated with the ons as well. Neji just frowned but a few seds ter he gave a short nod as well.

  "I'll take that sword away from him and you guys engage in close bat. Tenten, you should take any openings Lee and Neji provide. Everyone ready?"

  The three Genin of Team Guy o Daichi's pn.

  Maki saw the gamer ninja quickly f seals and then sehe water moviically under him. He dodged several water bullets and was about to ter attack when sharp pain from his wrist showed him the reality.

  His right wrist was broken and his Frost sword was in the hand of one of the Genin. He was furious as he realized that he fell fenjutsu attack. "You bastard! Yoing to pay for that."

  He wao rush forward towards Daichi but was intercepted by Neji ahe three ninjas begaaijutsu battle and with his broken wrist Maki couldn't use his substitution and escape.

  Neji arained so much together that they attacked their oppo in perfect sync. Maki redirected a kick from Lee with his right forearm while sending a punch with his left fist. Lee jumped bad dodged while Neji rushed and took his pce. His attacks were ed due to the chakra abs properties of armor.

  "Yentle Fist Taijutsu won't work on me. My armor absorbs chakra and your deadly teiques are nothing more than love taps to me." Maki said as he took a kunai and attacked the boy.

  Neji evaded nimbly and frow the situation. At that moment Lee joined him a a powerful punch that stopped Maki in his tracks. He took Lee much more seriously due to the strength ing from the boy.

  He quickly jumped to the side and evaded a shuriken wave from Tenten but was bsted in Lee and Neji's dire by a strong kick from Daichi's e.

  "You two do it. Focus."

  The shout from Daichi drove away the apprehension from Neji and Lee and the two trated otle.

  Neji atacked together with Neji pying the supp role aaking the main frontal attack role. A rarity ieam. Daichi joined from a short distance away and used 'Bance Disruptiosu on the man.

  Maki was sweating as he was fighting the Leaf ninjas. 'Damn it. I have to watch out for the Genjutsu from that brat while these two keep me here. They're wearing me down. Even with my armor they're keeping up with me. The Hyuga brat is redireg and defleg my attacks against his teammate and giving him openings to take advantage of.'

  Lee was in the zone as he battled his enemy. 'I have to defeat him. I o fight harder. I o be stronger.'

  The bowl cut boy put more and more chakra into limbs and increased his speed and strength. Maki struggled with the increased battle power ing from the Genin.

  'Damn it. Where is he getting all this energy? My armor won't be able to take much more of this.'

  Just as Maki thought this he saw Neji and Lee quickly back away from him. The sed several kunai struck his bad he was covered in explosions.

  During his battle with the two Genins, Maki failed to see Tenten subtly make her way towards his bad unch her ons. The paper bombs hit their target and engulfed the man.

  All the Genin stood still to see the result and ohe smoke cleared they saw the man on his knees bleeding and his Armor broken. He was barely scious and struggled to stand. "I'm… I'm… gonna kill.. you... You fug-"

  That was all he said before his entire body was engulfed in thick ice that erupted from below him. He was frozen solid inside a rge k of ice.

  Daichi looked at his sword and nodded. "So that's how it works. Nice."

  He looked at the three Genin and nodded. 'I could have helped Lee and Neji more by restraining him with my chakra strings but that would be like babying them. They won this battle on their own with minimal help from me. That's a win in my book.'

  Meanwhile Neji looked with his Byakugan and saw that the man's heart had stopped beating. "It's over… Let's get to the ship."

  The enin looked at the warship and hat it was getting much closer to the other ships.

  "While we were fighting, they kept moving forward. e on. We should intercept it before anything happens." Daichi spoke and at that moment something did happen as if fate was listening and decided to intervene.

  "Something's wrong." Neji used his Byakugan on the ship and quickly said.

  Daichi focused and saw that the rge on of the ship was gathering energy. His eyes widened as he turned his head and saw the target. Ishido's ship. The Genin's were also armed and quickly ran towards the ship to stop the on but it was too te.

  "Tenten!" With a yell, Daichi tossed the Frost sword to Tenten who easily caught it. The moment he vanished in a puff of smoke to alert the real him.

  BOOM!

  The on activated and unched a massive fireball directly at Ishido's ship. Neji, Lee ae dread as they saw the attad looked on helplessly.

  Author's Note:

  another 3.5k word chap. Hope you e.

  Several points to note:

  Daichi was a e so he was holding bad pying it cautiously.

  He could have used his speed skills to attad finish the in but it was more of a Team Guy battle and Daichi just pyed the supp role.

  Despite being a in, Maki was weak due to old age aing his skills rust. He wasn't able to properly battle Neji and Lee due to Daichi's interferend broken right wrist.

  So with these points in mind I hope you feel that the fight was banced and fair…

  On to other matters. By the time I pleted the whole battle it was like near 11k words. So I decided to split it. chapter will be the clusion of the battle. An 8k chap.
