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

  "I agree that the price is above normal but these are some of the fi sweets you could find anywhere in the capital. Please try it."

  Daichi tasted the sweets handed by the vendor one by one and he had to agree with the man. 'These are indeed delicious. I haven't tasted dies like these since I came to this world. No wo costs so much.'

  "Since we've only opened a few weeks ago I'll sell them to you at a nice dist young man."

  "Thank you. I'll take it." Daichi smiled and bought enough sweets for all the kids at Aiko's orpha was Reo's birthday week and he wao buy some gifts for her. But he didn't want to make things too obvious to anyone keeping an eye on him so he bought treats for everyone.

  Handing the money over, Daichi headed bae with the sweets and gifts. With his grandfather's help he was able to send the gifts and treats to Aiko with no problems.

  Since he had nothing much to do, Daichi helped out at the Fire capital hospital from time to time. Tsunade and Shizune also decided to stay in the capital till Daichi's departure back to the vilge. Despite spending his time healing patients at the hospital, the boy's thoughts were mainly on what would happen in the ing months.

  'By graduating this year, I'm giving up one year's worth of stat points and training time. That's a huge . But I'll be able to visit different vilges and gain more information. If I o plete my long term quests then I 't waste anymore time training. I'll also o see if I bee a in this year. If I bee one before the in exam then I'll have a signifit advantage. I'll only be able to put some of my pns in motion if I get an official Rank as soon as possible.'

  At that moment Daichi's mind drifted to who would bee his future teammates.

  'I wonder who my teammates and sensei are gonhey will most definitely be from Lee's css. I hope they're mature enough to work with me despite me being a year below them. Whatever the case, I just o pass the test and I'll be a Genin.'

  Daichi spent the remaining days polishing his skills and Leveling them up as much as he could. It was during this time that he met Kensei's friends at the capital.

  Daichi and Kensei were in a small vil on the Eastern side of the capital. Daichi looked around the small mansion that was beautifully designed.

  'This must be the home of some kind of noble. Or at least someoh a thriving business.' Daichi deduced as he walked through the long halls.

  At that moment he saw someone around Kensei's age ing towards them. The man had tan skin and a slightly skinny body. He had a white beard and had a few beads attached to them. Daichi immediately noticed the ssh with the Fire Kanji tied around his waist. 'One of the Twelve Ninja Guardians. Or a former one based on his age.'

  "Hello young man. I'm Jin. A friend of yrandpa's. Wele to my humble abode." The man smiled and introduced himself in a cheerful manner.

  "Hello sir, I'm Daichi Hekima."

  "I know. Yrandpa has spoken about you on more than one occasion. You should hear him talk."

  "Alright that's enough." Kensei interrupted Jin with an annoyed yet slightly embarrassed tone.

  "Hahaha…. e on. Isen is waiting iher room." Jihe two to ane room where another man was waiting for them.

  "So this is the child. I already tell that he's strong. Tsunade certainly has been training him well." The man known as Isen spoke looking at Daichi.

  "Daichi, these are my friends. Isen and you've already met Jin." Kensei introduced them to his grandson with a smile. He was happy Daichi finally got to meet his former teammates and colleagues.

  "How do you like your stay in the capital so far?" Jin asked the boy.

  "It's great. There's lots to see and pces to visit. And the history behind this pce is incredible."

  "Hmm… True. The Fire Capital is one of the oldest territories in the world. It is a hub that ects to every er of the world."

  "Yrandfather tells us that you're a genius. That true?" It was Isen who asked that question.

  "I do pick up things much faster than others and everything does uch easier for me. So yeah. You could say I'm a genius." Daichi replied with a grin.

  "You're not even gonna pretend to be modest huh."

  "Why should I, when it's the truth."

  Despite Daichi's seemingly arrogant answer, Isen just ughed. "Ha! I like you kid. You got spunk."

  "I already tell, the kid's gonna be a riot. He reminds me of you Kensei. During your 'I'm better than everyone else' phase." Jin said with a smirk as he sat down.

  "I'm still better than everyone." Kensei said with a rge smirk.

  Isen gri Kensei's response. "Keep telling yourself that old man." He then looked at Daichi and spoke. "Yramps tells me you're looking to graduate a year early."

  "Yes. I came to the capital to learn Mediinjutsu and now that I've aplished that, I feel that it's time to move on to the stage. I've already learned everything taught at the academy, so passing it is just a formality." Daiodded and replied.

  Isen nodded. Based on the information Kensei shared, Isehe boy was more than ready to graduate. He also learned of the attack thwarted by Daichi that happe year. He didn't have any proof but he was sure that it was Danzo who sent them. He was slightly ed for the kid but khat any move against him by Danzo would result in the wrath of Kensei and the Hokage.

  Kensei and his friends decided to catch up. The two people asked Daichi about his training, travels and goals in his life.

  As Kensei and the other two talked, Daichi used 'Observe' to see if he could get anything from them.

  Daichi used 'observe' skill on Jin first. On Jin, the skill information firmed that he was a former member of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. He was level 44 with health and chakra points in the low 4 digits. The information showed that he had an unknown disease that was eating away at his body.

  'So that's why he has such low stats. He doesn't have much time left. Maybe a year or 18 months at most. I'll o talk to Gramps about this.'

  Daichi used the Health Manipution skill. It had the ability to sehe health of a person within a certain ra that moment an ued quest appeared in front of him.

  [Quest Created - 'Heal Jin.']

  [his quest will only be accepted if Jis you examine him.]

  Daichi read the quest details and was amazed. 'Wow. A quest that only be activated oain ditions? That's new... And it says here even Tsunade sensei couldn't heal this guy?... Even if she couldn't, maybe I . My medical skills rival and even surpass Tsunade's. I'm the only ce he has… Now the only question is whether or not he'll accept my help. I'll he old man's opinion and I o pay Tsunade sensei a visit.'

  Turning his attention to Isen and used 'Observe' on the man. When he did, he only got question marks… 'I should be able to see up to level 95. So that means this guy is even higher than that?

  It was te evening when Daichi and Kensei bid farewell to the two men and headed home. When they reached their residence Kensei asked the question that's been bugging him sihey left Jin's home.

  "What's on your mind?" Kensei reized Daichi's thoughtful expression and asked.

  "That man… Jin. He's dying." Daichi's reply was more of a statement than a question and the information startled Kensei.

  "How do you know?"

  "I've been with Lady Tsunade for two years. Trust me. I know a dying person when I see one." Daichi replied.

  Kensei slightly nodded in uanding. He knew a highly capable medic would be able to tell Jin's state when carefully looking at his body's behavior. He couldn't believe Daichi had reached such a level in just such a short time. He let out a sad sigh and thought about what his friend said.

  "He has some kind of a rare disease that's attag his body. He caught it around 5 years ago. Jio every doctor he could. None of them could help him. He only had a few months to live. That's when he went to Tsunade. Even though she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, she created a pill that would slow down the progress of this unknown disease. It gave him several more years. But it's only slowed down the illness and it's still progressing. By our estimates he has less than 2 years."

  "An illness even Tsunade sensei couldn't figure out? That's rare…" Tsunade was the best medi the world. So the fact that she couldn't figure out what was wrong with the man amazed Daichi.

  "It's going to be even more of a challehan I thought." Daichi said to himself.

  Kensei heard that and looked at Daichi as if he had grown a sed head. "Daichi, this is something I don't think even you help with. Even Tsunade couldn't. Just… Just let this go."

  Daichi couldn't accept that. There was no way he was going to back out after seeing the quest. He looked at his grandfather and spoke with a determione.

  "Gramps… I need you to talk to him. I o examine him."

  Despite Daichi's resolute stance, Kensei didn't budge. "Daichi, I've let you do some risky things… But on this matter I'm going to have to say no. Just let this go."

  " you tell me why?"

  "Even your teacher Tsunade couldn't cure him. Jin has already made peace with what's going to happen. Don't give him hope and then take that away from him."

  Hearing Kensei's reply, Daichi uood where the old man was ing from. 'Even though I'm a genius and learned Mediinjutsu in just a couple years, he would trust her opinion over mi's the logical thing to do. 't bme him for that. She has decades of experiend is known as the best in the world… But still… I 't let this ge go.'

  "Gramps. You know I'm not someone who would take a situation like this lightly. Trust me when I say, I know the weight of what it means whesunade sensei couldn't find the true cause… But I'm still asking. All I need is just a check up. Please." Daichi made sure his grandfather khat he was taking this with the utmost seriousness.

  Kensei was flicted as he looked at his grandson. He knew his grandson able medic but he didn't think he could succeed where someone like Tsunade failed.

  "You even say that Tsunade sensei seo examine him and check up on his prognosis. You don't o tell him anything else." Daichi tried his best to vince his grandfather a him examihe man.

  Kensei closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose in exasperation. After p for several minutes he let out a sigh that indicated he would at least try.

  "Before we do anything, We'll meet Tsunade first thing in the m. I want her opinion on this before we move forward with anything." The old man told Daichi.

  "Deal. That way I get an idea as well as to what's really going on."

  Daichi went to his room and thought about the part of the quest that fused him. He opehe quest and looked at the rewards portion.

  [Rewards:]

  [10000 Exp.]

  [Reputation increases with Isen, Kensei Yasaji.]

  [Reputation increases with Jin, Tsunade Senju and an Unknown person.]

  'This is strahis reward is the one I get for increasing his life span. And it says reputation increases with an Unknown person.

  [Bonus Reward:]

  [+2 Level ih Manipution skill.]

  [Reputation massively increases with Jin and Tsunade Senju.]

  [Reputation decreases with an Unknown person.]

  'But here if I save Jin's life then my reputation decreases… How the heck does that happen?... Are they two different people? But then there is ation increase from Unknown person when I save his life… This is strange… But still… This does prove something. There is someone involved in this matter. I bet that there is someo there who knows more about this illhasunade… And if that's true then the only way they could have suowledge is if they were the cause of his illness.'

  [Due to logically dedug new information from very little, you have obtained +1 WIS]

  'Huh!? So you agree with my dedu?... I see… Good to know.'
