Chapter 105: Conquer the Castle
Daichi spent his time training and improving his skills. He refined his techniques and concentrated on increasing his chakra volume. Daichi gained several points in several stats over the course of the last few months.
Kensei had returned home after 3 weeks. Daichi noticed that his grandfather was in a better mood when he returned from the trip. He didn't pay much attention to it and chalked it up to the old man's business doing well.
Daichi kept his promise and sparred with Sasuke at the end of every month. Both of them noticed the Uchiha's improvement. Daichi's goal was to subtly influence Sasuke and have him not become a threat to the village or him. It was slow but over the course of a few months there were some small changes.
Several months passed and Daichi mastered the first step of the water walking skill and was half way through the second step. He and his clones used their chakra and pushed it forward from their palms. The water in front of him stopped off for several seconds before it resumed its fall.
[Skill Water - Waterfall control technique's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Water affinity's level has risen by one.]
Daichi dispelled the clones. He felt the immediate fatigue enveloping his body.
'Level 50. Slow, but it's not a problem. By the time I become a Genin I'd have all 5 chakra natures mastered.'
Daichi sat down and meditated. He felt the cool water splashing on his body and he felt refreshed. After an hour of deep meditation Daichi got up and went back home.
He was in a bit of a dilemma. 'Now that the October exams are over I have 2 weeks before class starts for the second term Should I do an instant dungeon or should I try the academy dungeon?'
In the Instant dungeon or Key dungeons the player can stay inside the dungeon for as long as he wants and only a few seconds would pass in the real world. The strength of the enemies would depend on the color of the keys, so one can estimate the strength of the strongest opponent they might face in the dungeon.
In a Location Dungeon, once the dungeon is activated it will be open for a year and will close after 365 days. There are several restrictions to the dungeon as well. Moreover, the enemy could be weak or unbelievably strong.
After weighing the pros and cons and the fact that he would be leaving at the end of March, Daichi decided that starting a Location Dungeon would be just a waste. He took out the key to the Kikyo Castle Dungeon key.
'This thing used to be black but now it's red. So my opponents will be 15 to 30 levels higher than me My strength has grown considerably. I can do this!'
That night Daichi waited for the clock to reach midnight and he took out the key. He clutched it in his hand and activated it. He felt the familiar sensation and in seconds landed on the stone floor.
He looked at the hallway and he was surprised at what he saw. The hallway was much larger than the ones he encountered in the other dungeons and this had artworks and gold colored lining throughout the walls. Daichi slowly walked and brushed his fingertips against the exquisite patterns on the wall.
'Wow It feels like I'm in some sort of a castle. But then I suppose that's stating the obvious.'
[You have reached the entrance to the dungeon - Kiky Castle.]
[Would you like to enter?] [Y/N]
"Yes!"
The key rotated and the door opened. He stopped through the door and was surprised. Several meters in front of him stood a large castle and there was nothing else in the surroundings.
[The title 'Dungeon Warrior' is now active. All your stats are increased by 15% while inside the dungeon.]
'Observe'
[Kiky Castle]
[This castle was created based on the one built in the Leaf village. There are several ninjas inside that guard the castle from intruders and there is a king that resides at the top floor. There are 10 floors and each floor has a certain number of guards.] The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

At that moment he got the notification that his two man clone team had also finished their first enemy ninja in the dungeon.
As Daichi dodged a sword swing and punched the enemy. His clone body flickered and slashed the enemy from behind. Daichi then blocked a sword thrust and sidestepped another from two more enemies.
He rushed and easily got through their defenses. He sent a kick that sent one flying while he slashed at the leg of the other enemy and severed it. He went through hand-seals and let out a small but concentrated fireball that reduced the enemy to ashes in seconds.
[Enemy killed.]
+700 Exp.
+105 Exp.
[Enemies killed: 03/55]
Daichi's senses and battle skills had been refined to the point that even opponents several levels higher than him couldn't easily wound him.
As the battle continued the number of opponents on the first floor was decreasing minute by minute. Daichi's clones worked perfectly as a team and covered their backs. They would carefully dodge or deflect attacks that would have them reduced to smoke.
But there were still moments when the attacks got through and the clones dispelled. Daichi created a new clone the second he got the memories of the vanished one. Due to his large chakra reserves this was not a difficult task.
It wasn't long before the fight on the 1st floor became a one on one battle between 8 people.
The clones primarily used genjutsu to distract or disorient the dungeon ninjas. And then they would deliver the finishing strikes.
Daichi mainly used taijutsu and swordsmanship to improve and perfect it. Due to learning advanced leaf academy Taijutsu, his hand to hand combat skills have also gotten a boost.
Daichi parried a punch and sent several strikes to the joints and weak areas of his enemy's body. It slowed down the dungeon ninja and Daichi quickly slashed and reduced his health points to zero.

You have leveled up.
Daichi looked at the several notifications indicating the level increase of several skills, ninjutsu and genjutsu.
He went over them all and quickly closed the blue system message boxes.
At that moment a new notification appeared.
[You have cleared the first floor. You can now move to the second.]
A portion of the wall on the far side of the room slid open and revealed white marbled stairs.
'It looks like I'll have to defeat every enemy on the floor before I can get to the next one.'
Daichi sat down and started meditating. Once he was back to his full strength he stood up and started making his way towards his next challenge.
