Discimer: I don't own Naruto or the Gamer. Please support the official release.

  "Alright. The rules are as follows. Daichi! You will o nd three successful strikes oenten and Neji for you to secure victory. Once you are able to nd 3 hits on your ehat person is out of the battle." Guy said, looking at Kakashi's student. The boy nodded his head and the Taijutsu master then turo his own pupils.

  "While Daieeds to only nd three strikes, you guys each will have to nd 6. The time limit will be 15 minutes. Only if all three of you nd the strikes will it be sidered a victory for you. And if the timer runs out before you defeat your oppohen the victory will automatically go to Daichi. Any questions?"

  The 3 Genin of team Guy was mulling over the rules.

  Tenten was going over the challenge rules in her head. 'All of us o strike him before the timer runs out to win. And the rules don't say he 't escape or run from us… This will be a lot trickier than it seems.'

  While Tehought that Daichi might decide to dodge or escape, Lee knew better. 'Daichi isn't someone who runs from a fight. He will battle us head on. And based on his speed and strength and Taijutsu skills… We o work together if we want to win.'

  Neji was looking at Daichi with slightly narrowed eyes. 'I knew I would face him one day but I didn't think it would be so soon.'

  Daichi was calm as he looked at the three slightly nervous Genins. 'I half expected a quest to pop up by now but… It seems the system sees this as an obvious victory… Hmm… Is my Gamer system se?... Question for aime I suppose.'

  Kakashi walked to the side while Daichi stepped forward and stood in the middle of the clearing indig that he was ready for battle. Lee and his two teammates stepped forward as well. Neji and Lee got into a fighting stance while Tenten got ready with her scrolls.

  Neji looked at his oppo's calm temperament and saw that Daichi hadn't yet entered a fighting stanbsp;'Is he looking down on us? I'll show him the power of the Gentle Fist.'

  Daichi had both arms in his pockets and stood casually as if he was waiting in line for something mundane and had no cares in the world. And it only enraged Neji and brought a frown to Tenten's face.

  But Lee knew Daichi lohan his teammates. He knew Daichi respected hard work and strength. 'He studies and trains so hard every day. Even more than me. I have to show him just how far I have e. And I must earn his respect.'

  "Are you READY?" Guy asked them.

  Getting a nod from everyone he raised his right hand. "Let your youthful spirit shine brightly. BEGIN.!"

  Nobody made a move but Team Guy khat time was not on their side.

  'We 't dey any lohe more time passes the greater his ces of victory.' Having made a decision, Neji Hyuga dashed forward with his palms coiled ready to send a fast precise strike.

  And that was the signal for the other two to take a as well. Lee rushed forward towards Daichi as well aen hanged back to provide backup.

  Daichi saw every move Neji made. From where Neji was looking to strike to the way his muscles moved. Neji quickly reached Daichi a a fast palm strike aimed at the boy's chest.

  But the Hyuga Genin's speed was nowhere near Daichi's and thus he was uo nd the attack as Daichi easily sidestepped and dodged. At that moment he sensed movement from behind and k was Lee's kiing from behind.

  The young Gamer ninja jumped and saw Lee fly by under him. At that moment several shuriken struck him and he fell to the ground. But the sed the fallen Genin vanished and in his pce was a wooden log.

  Daichi was somewhere nearby and sitting atop the branches of a rge tree. He looked at the three Genin and smiled. 'I'll py a little cat and mouse game for a few minutes. Get them riled up. Then I'll fight them head on. I'm eager to see how much Lee has improved and what Neji aen are capable of before they had a year of training with Guy.'

  "Neji, where is he?" Tenten asked, looking around.

  Neji closed his eyes and made a hand-seal. "Byakugan."

  His eyes opened with veins around them bulging. An indication that he had activated his Kekkei Genkai. It took only a sed for him to find their oppo since he wasn't trying to actively hide.

  "Neji, we o fight him together." Lee spoke but the young Hyuga didn't waste anymore time and took off.

  Daichi jumped down from the brand saw Neji headed his way. "You o be much faster than that if you wanna hit me."

  Neji pushed himself and was right in front of Daichi agaiarted unleashing a barrage of Gentle fist strikes aimed at Daichi's arms, torso and major pressure points. But Daichi easily dodged eae while still rooted in his spot.

  Neji saw the boy avoiding his attacks with just io spare. 'Damn it. It's no good if I 't nd my attacks on him. How is he so much faster than me? My speed is much greater than an ordinary Genin my age a… I 't nd everike… And what's worse, he's not even serious…'

  Neji saw the expression Daichi wore and uood. It was almost the same one he had when fighting someone much weaker than him. Boredom and annoyance.

  At that moment Lee joihe battle. Both Neji atacked Daichi without slowing down but not one of their attacks ected. When they sho Tenten would une of her shuriken but it was for naught. None of them heir mark.

  A few ways away Kakashi and Guy were watg the match. Guy looked at Daichi's movements and immediately realized the oute of the fight.

  'Daichi is adjusting his speed every so often. Whenever Neji sends an attack faster than the previous one, Daichi slightly increases his speed and evades. And even with Lee's help they 't touch him… His speed and Taijutsu skills are certainly far beyond Genin. It looks like the ces of victory for my team is zero.'

  Neji and Lee were giving it their best and trying to work together t their enemy down. Both of them forced Daichi to jump back a couple feet only for several ninja wires to suddenly surround and trap him. Tenten pulled on the ninja wire and immobilized Daichi.

  "We got him." She couldn't help but grin.

  "Do you now?" Daichi looked at the three and smirked. The sed he vanished in a puff of smoke. Leaving nothing behind.

  "What the? Where'd he go?" Lee looked around and couldn't find Daichi.

  "What happened? Was that a e?" Tenten quickly recovered her ninja wire and asked.

  With the help of his Byakugan Neji quickly located their foe. He ched his teeth in anger. "He's oher side of the training field. He's just toying with us. If he keeps esg then we won't be able to beat him."

  "Neji! We o work together. It's the only way."

  Neji looked at Lee and after a couple seds slightly nodded his head. He uood that this was a team battle. "We o force him to fight us and not escape. I might have a way." Neji spoke.

  Team Guy took off once again and quickly reached Daichi's location. When they reached the pce they saw Daichi waiting for them with a bored look on his face.

  Neji stepped forward and spoke. "Is this all you do? Run away?"

  Daichi smiled. "Why should I do otherwise when I win like this? If you 't catch me you lose." He replied.

  Neji smirked hearing that response. "So the so-called Genius is nothing more than a coward. You might have some speed but you're scared of fag my ability. The way you evade my attacks. You know what I do don't you… I guess it's only natural that you're afraid."

  Kakashi and Guy who were standing to the side uood what Neji was trying to do. As did Daichi. The boy looked at his oppo and uncrossed his arms.

  "You know… The funny thing is, I know you're pying me. I know what you're doing Neji. Goadio fighting all of you till the st sed… Pying to my ego… Fine. We'll do it your way." Daichi looked at the three and the bored expression on his face vanished.

  Guy looked at the ge in battle tactid was curious. 'This should be iing.'

  Kakashi too looked up from his book and g his student. 'So he's going on the offense. He most probably won't end it quickly. Based on his personality he'll likely test them before finishing the fight.'

  Neji and Lee immediately eheir respective Taijutsu stances ae bad got ready. All three kept their eyes on Daichi.

  Neji and Lee raised their vigi it didn't help them. One sed Daichi was standing several meters away from them, the moment he vanished. Neji with his Byakugan eyes saw where Daichi was standing and was shocked.

  "Behind." Neji yelled to Lee and turned around.

  Daichi was standing a few feet behind the two. Lee aurned around and began their aggressive Taijutsu assaults on their oppo.

  Daichi easily parried Neji's chakra point strikes and blocked Lee's fists. Even with fighting two oppos Daichi's was able to take a few shuriken and accurately aim them at the ining projectiles sent by Tenten.

  His shuriken deflected and redirected the ons back towards Tenten and forced her to move away.

  Daichi tilted his head to avoid a fist by Lee and redirected a palm strike by Neji. He stayed close to them so the two couldn't use higher momentum attacks against him.

  Tenten nded on the ground and looked i the fight in front of her. 'Lee wasn't kidding around. Daichi's speed is unreal. He was able to instantly get behind them and even in the middle of fighting those two he was able to successfully target my shuriken and ge their trajectory baine. Even I 't do something like that. And ons and accuracy are my specialty.'

  Guy atg the fight was now starting to uand the fighting prowess of Daichi Hekima. "Kakashi. That kind of shuriken skill…" He said in a low tone ahe statement unfinished.

  "Yeah… Reminds you of Itachi, doesn't it." The silver haired Jonin was well aware of his student's capabilities.

  Daichi kept blog and redireg the attacks sent his way. 'I'll use Analyze skill when they are a bit more profit iaijutsu. Right now they're only just beginning so it won't help me all that much.'

  Time was quickly running out and not once even with the distras and openings Teried to create could Lee and Neji successfully nd a strike on Daichi.

  "One minute remaining."

  Guy's voice was heard by all and Daichi immediately vanished again. He reappeared several meters away from them and looked at the two.

  Both Lee and Neji had haggard breaths while Tenten had sweat dripping down her face. All three of them looked weary.

  "Alright. I've seen all I wao see. You've had your time to attaow its my turn. Here I e." With those words Daichi rushed forward. Neji and Lee instantly tried to escape but it was futile.

  Daichi quickly reached Lee a fast, precise strikes to his torso and chest. He broke through Lee's meager defense before the boy knew what had happened and hree attacks on him.

  "Lee is out of the battle." Guy's voice rang through the training ground.

  Neji was on Daichi's list. The young Gamer reached the Hyuga prodigy and easily parried and redirected his Gentle fist strikes. The first attack Daided took Neji's breath away. The sed and third came before the young Hyuga could pose himself.

  "Neji is out of the battle."

  At that moment Daichi jumped bad quickly dodged the shurikens ing his way. He vanished and within moments the final member of Team 9 was also down.

  "Winner. Daichi Hekima."

  Neji looked at Daichi and saw that he looked just as he did wheered the training ground. His eyes widened as he looked at his fallen teammates. 'He was just toying with us this whole time. We never even stood a ce of winning…'

  He slowly got up and looked at the boy. 'I see… So this is why the teachers called him an unmatched prodigy…' Neji's fist unsciously ched as he looked at his new goal. 'I o train harder. I have to surpass him.'

  Lee, even though he lost, wasn't that depressed. He experienced defeat so many times and it only motivated him to try harder. He saw Daichi walking towards him aending his hand. With a smile Lee took Daichi's hand and stood.

  "You've gotten a lot stronger Lee. You're pletely different from when you were in the academy. I told you. All you o do is believe in yourself." Daichi smiled at his friend. He knew how hard Lee trained and wasn't above giving credit where it is due.

  "Wow. You really are a Genius." Tenten said, looking at Daichi.

  "That title means nothing without effort." Daichi replied.

  "Yes. Young Daichi is very correct." Guy said as he came hem. He looked at his three students and gave them a wide smile.

  "You have all done wonderfully. Even though you lost you use this as nourishment for yrowth. Let your youthful prow from a small sapling and burst like a mighty Oak." He grabbed his three students and hugged them despite the protest of two.

  "Well, I think it's time we take our leave. Daichi." Kakashi said with his eyes roaming each line in his book.

  "Kakashi. This time you win. I'll challenge you again soon. I'll show you THE BLOSSOMING POWER OF MY YOUTH." Guy said with his fists pumped as if he was ready for a.

  Silence prevailed with Guy enthusiastically looking at his rival for a rea and all the Genin standing awkwardly.

  Kakashi didn't seem to hear him and a couple seds ter he looked up from his book. "You say something Guy?"

  "Gha! That hip and cool attitude… I'd expeo less from my rival." He ically cried.

  Daichi and Kakashi quietly left the training ground and Guy turo his students. "My cute dugs… it's time to train."

  "Yes Guy sensei!" Lee shouted with the other two nodding their heads. They may have lost but their spirits were unbroken.
