Chapter 109 - Hypotheticals
🕑 Added 2022-07-20 16:18:46 +0000 UTCDaichi woke up from his sleep after a few hours. After he opened his eyes he just laid there on his bed and thought about the battles he went through.
Daichi raised his fists and clenched them. He accurately felt the powerful force he could exert from just his fist alone.
A small smile appeared on his face. 'My time, my pain, my training, they are not in vain. Each day I'm getting a step closer to my goal.'
Daichi then saw the piled up notifications in front of him. He started going through them one by one.
His eyes landed on the reward for defeating the last boss of the dungeon.
Night Gaze Armor - blueprint (01/01)
'An Armor blueprint? Is it for the one he was wearing during our battle?'
Daichi took out the pages of blueprints from his inventory. Each page had details on how to create the Armor and what materials were needed.
'Observe'
[Night Gaze Armor] - blueprint (01/01) [Rare Item: Rank C]
[A blueprint for a Rare Rank C armor. This Armor was created for King Egrien. Due to the black design of the Armor it was given the name Night Gaze Armor.
This Armor increases defense of the wearer by 25%. It reduces ninjutsu damage by 8% if the jutsu is B - Rank or above. If it's below, the ninjutsu damage reduction increases to 35%.
This Armor increases strength by 5% and agility by 3%. Physical attack damages are reduced by 15% or more depending on the force of the attack.
Note: To create this armor a master blacksmith is needed.]
'Wow! It's not bad armor. And it's a percentage increase in strength and agility… Still, this is only a rare rank C item?... Then is it possible that there are better armors out there?... Whatever the case, all I have is a blueprint right now. I need a blacksmith to create it. And based on the description, not an ordinary one.'
Daichi then looked at the other new item that was in his inventory. It was a small round bottle the size of an adult's palm. In it was red liquid.
Red Potion.
'System please tell me this is what I think it is… Observe'
[Red Potion] [Unique Item: Rank B]
[A potion created by the system to help the player. This potion was created using rare medicinal ingredients from around the world. Due to the powerful effects of the potion it is a Unique Rank B item. Once the player consumes the potion it will instantly heal all wounds, restore health, chakra, stamina and mana to 100%. If anyone other than the player consumes the potion it will take up to 24 hours for the wounds to be healed and be restored to 100%.
[Note: Negative status other than wounds, CP, HP, SP and MP exhaustion will not be removed.]
"Yes!!!" 'I can't believe I got my hands on a healing potion. And an instant healing one at that… And if an emergency arises I can give this to someone in need. Not that that's going to happen.'
Daichi was happy with the items and rewards he got for completing this dungeon.
'I've leveled up. Time to check out my stats.'
'Status.'

Daichi was happy with the stat increase.
"Wow. My chakra is now in the Jonin league… By the time I graduate I'll only need to fear people of S rank or Kage level."
Daichi looked at the chakra stat. '192 huh. So close to 200. Just a few more. Should I add the points now….? No. I'll train and see if I can't increase it in the next two months. Can't use points before absolutely necessary.'
As Daichi went through everything he noticed that several of his skills have also leveled up. Mainly his Sprint, Sword Mastery, Dual Wielding Mastery, and Body flicker Jutsu skills have gone up by several levels.
After going through everything, Daichi got up from his bed, put it back in his inventory and slowly descended the castle floors.
Daichi looked at the battle scars on each floor. He remembered the enemies he fought and he was filled with gratitude.
'Thank you for helping me get stronger.'
He soon reached the ground floor and left the castle. Daichi used the return key and in moments returned to his bedroom.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December. Academy
Daichi was in the back with his head resting on his palm as he barely listened. 'God this is so boring. Wish I could do something exciting.'
Iruka was almost finished with his lecture. The class was about the nature of a shinobi. "Some say the true nature of a person is revealed when he is about to die… I personally believe this to be true. And it's not just the shinobi. I believe our true heart will be revealed the moment we learn about our death."
"You really think so sensei?" A student asked.
Iruka nodded. "Yes. If we learn that we have only a few moments here in this world then most of us would want to spend our time with our loved ones."
"No way. I don't buy it."
Iruka sighed. "How about this? If the world were to come to an end tomorrow, who would you like to spend your time with?"
The moment Daichi heard this question a memory came to his mind. He immediately straightened in his seat. 'This question. No way… This scene. It's from…'
At that moment Naruto spoke up. "Oh give me a break. That's not gonna happen."
Iruka let out a small exasperated breath. "It's a hypothetical Naruto. Just imagine if the moon began to fall and we were going to die tomorrow, who would you like to spend time with?"
At this moment an idea sparked in Daichi's mind. He remembered memories of looking up what would happen if the moon were to fall in his previous life. A devious idea came to Daichi's mind and an equally devious smile came to his face. 'This class is so boring. Time to spice things up.'
Shikamaru who was sitting near Daichi saw the smug smile on his friend's face. He instantly recognized that expression. 'That's the same smile Naruto has when he's up to no good. What are you planning, Daichi?'
Daichi raised his hand, getting Iruka's attention. "Yes Daichi. What is it?"
"Sensei, your question is actually more interesting than you think." Daichi replied.
Iruka raised an eyebrow at that. "What makes you say that Daichi?"
The whole class turned to Daichi. Seeing that he had everyone's attention, Daichi began his explanation.
"The earth's gravity pulls everything to the ground so why isn't the moon already falling towards us?"
Iruka didn't have an answer for that. "Umm…"
Daichi continued. "It's because of its sideways motion. The moons orbit. And to change that orbit would require enormous force and power."
"Yes Daichi. And as I've said to Naruto, this is a hypothetical question."
Daichi nodded. "Right. And your question is what would happen if the moon falls to earth tomorrow. The answer to that is, no. The moon won't fall on us in a single day. If by some reason the moon starts falling towards earth it will take over a year to reach the earth."
Now Iruka was intrigued. "Alright what would happen then, if it takes a year?" Iruka unknowingly took the bait Daichi laid out.
'Time to traumatize them.' Daichi hid his smirk and answered.
"Well for the first few days nobody would notice a thing. But then as the moon gets closer the ocean tide gets higher and lower depending on the position of the moon. After about a month islands and coastal areas would be underwater. Now by the end of month two the world's coastal areas and nearby places would be completely flooded. The sea water would flood in and contaminate the clean ground water with salt water. This continues for a couple more months and the intensity of the sea waves increases. By the fifth month, the whole world would be underwater. Including this village and the Hokage mountain. But this is only the warmup. In about 5 months the gravitational pull of the moon will cause volcanoes to erupt and also start massive earthquakes. The volcanoes will spit out smoke thick enough to block the sun. This will cause acid rain and snow all over the world. Now after about 8 months the surface of the moon will be near the earth and it'll start cracking. The whole world will experience meteor showers that destroy everything. And if anyone does survive they'd go hungry soon because of no sustainable ecosystem. And in the last month the moon will get completely destroyed due to the earth's gravity and it'll rain all over the world killing us all."
Daichi finished his long winded explanation and he was met with complete silence and wide eyes. Some students were looking slightly green. Even the usually stoic Sasuke was looking uncomfortable.
Iruka opened and closed his mouth several times before finally saying something. "T-Th… Thank… you Daichi… for that… graphic explanation."
"And for giving everyone nightmares." Iruka muttered under his breath. "Please sit."
"I wanna see my mom right now." The voice of the girl could be heard by everyone in the quiet room.
"Why don't we move to a different topic." Iruka said tiredly.
Daichi sat down in his seat and a wide grin was on his face.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?"
Daichi looked towards the voice and saw Shikamaru's narrowed eyes.
Daichi put on the most innocent smile he could and replied. "I have no idea what you mean."
Shikamaru was incredulous as he looked at Daichi. 'This guy…' He shook his head and then looked ahead.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke crossed his arms and blocked the punch aimed at his chest. The force pushed made him grunt and pushed him back several feet.
Sasuke shook his arms and felt them slightly tremble. He looked at Daichi and narrowed his eyes. "You've gotten stronger again haven't you." It was more of a statement than a question.
Daichi smirked. "You're not the only one training hard."
The spar between the two continued for several more minutes before Sasuke fell down completely exhausted signaling the end of the fight. He was breathing hard and covered in bruises.
Daichi walked near him and sat down. "Your speed and strength have certainly increased." Daichi gave his assessment.
"But it feels like I'm standing still. And I still haven't awakened my Sharingan." Sasuke said with a clenched fist.
"Give it time. Nothing can be accomplished in a single day."
The Uchiha merely grunted and became quiet. Both of them sat like that for a few minutes before Daichi spoke. "I'll be leaving the village for a few years at the end of April."
"What?" Sasuke turned to Daichi in surprise.
"Gramps wants me to learn about his business operations in the capital. I'll be leaving after taking the finals this year."
"What about the academy?"
"Gramps told me an instructor would meet me at the end of every year to assess me and test my curriculum knowledge. I'll be back here in time for the genin exams."
Sasuke was slightly angry that he was going to lose his sparring partner but more than that he was also reminded of the fact that he was now alone in the world with no family other than a traitorous brother.
After a short while both of them went their separate ways.
Daichi was looking forward to the day he could leave the village.

Cool chapter, what would've made it even better is daichi looking at the eyes of where adult Naruto would be position while he stands beside chibi Hinata, Naruto would be like "this is not some coincidence, he knew I would be here"
