  Leaf Vilge - Hokage Office:

  Hiruzen was looking over the information Tsunade sent regarding Daichi.

  'So he wants to take the Genin exams huh. Hmm… This is certainly ued. I thought he would wait another year and graduate with his css but it seems I'm wrong… With his skills and knowledge, he's certainly qualified.'

  Hiruze out a sigh and leaned ba his chair. 'There isn't any point in denying him the ce… But this plicates my pns. Since Daichi has a good retionship with Naruto and Sasuke, I was hoping he would be the third member of the team but there goes that pn… I suppose I'll have to modify my pns a bit. I also o see if there is anyone in the current graduation css that's patible with Daichi's skill sets. And I o pick a suitable instructor. But who?...'

  Hiruzen pondered on this question for a while. 'I o assign a Jonin capable of handling his growth. And ohat effectively teach him.'

  At that moment the image of a figure popped up in his head. 'Hmm… Yes. He might be a good choice… I'll also o tact Iruka. I'll have to let him know of the situation.'

  Fire Capital.

  Daichi and Kensei were at the Slug Sannin's apartment. Tsunade had a serious expression as she looked at her student. "What's the sudden i in this case Daichi?"

  "I want to know the true cause of his illness. Aren't you curious? I know I am. Is it a ype of disease or if he oisoned or is it something else… I have to know. If even you, the best medi the world, couldn't figure it out, then it must be something signifit." Daichi replied.

  "Tsunade, what you tell us about Jin's dition?" Kensei asked the blonde woman.

  The woma out a sigh and answered. "Jin has an unknown disease that attacks his lungs, heart and body muscles and weakens them. The reason I say unknown is because I've dohh checkup on his body and I couldn't find anything that points to a problem. I took blood samples, biopsied tissues from his lungs, heart and even took some bone marrow. I've tested them against every disease I could think of and nothing. Even the blood work is normal. It's as if his body decided to give up one day and started attag himself."

  "Could it be some kind of autoimmune disease?" Daichi asked.

  "No. The tests came baegative. And none of the treatments worked on him."

  Daichi was quiet as he listened. "What about poisons?"

  Tsunade shook her head. "I've dooxicology test. Everything came baegative. I couldn't find any fn tent within his body. I've analyzed his bht down to the cellur level… I couldn't find anything wrong. Like I said earlier. It's as if his body is attag itself without any cause."

  "But that should be impossible."

  "Yes. I agree."

  At that, Kensei narrowed his eyes. "Do you have a theory?"

  Tsunade was quiet for a few seds and then replied. "This is only just my theory and I don't have any proof, but I believe he oisoned."

  Kensei was shocked when he heard that. "What? But you just said he wasn't."

  "I said I couldn't find anything. But that doesn't mean it isn't there."

  "What makes you think it's poison?"

  "Because I've never seen something like this before. And a disease like this at his age. There must have been a trigger that set it off. It's the only thing that makes the most sesunade replied drink a some sake.

  "So someone did this to him?"

  Daichi could hear the anger bubbling through Kensei's voice.

  "It's a possibility. But there is also another. It could have been some kind of enviroal factor. Certain nds have rare poisonous soils, pnts and small streams that be very harmful. He could have been affected in his travels…"

  "But you don't believe that's the case, do you?" Kensei asked the woman.

  "No. If it were that easy I'd have found the answer long ago… My theory is that he was ied with a poison designed specifically for him." Tsunade replied, looking at her bottle.

  Daichi was impressed. 'Even with practically no information she came to the clusion that he oisoned. She truly is a genius.'

  "And you didn't say anything to Jin about this because…" Kensei wao know why she would keep something like this from his friend.

  At this Tsunade looked annoyed. "Like I told you, this is only a theory. I don't have any solid proof. It could also be a new disease like Daichi said…"

  "How did you e up with the pills that prolonged his life?" Daichi asked the question.

  "It took some time, effort and lots of money and resources. Luckily, Jin had the cash and I knew where to find the needed resources… Would you like to take a guess where, Daichi?"

  It only took him a sed to get the answer. "Land of medie."

  "That's right. I've ducted several tests and I noticed his body reag to a bination of herbs found there. Not enough to stop whatever is happening to him. But enough to slow it down."

  Daichi and Kensei were both quiet as they now had a better uanding of the situation. After some more time with Daichi asking his teacher some questions they decided to leave and visit Jin.

  "Daichi! Be careful not to bite off more than you chew." Tsunade said to her student as he was about to leave.

  Daiodded in uanding ahe pce with his grandfather. They soon reached Jin's home.

  "Stay here. I'll talk to him. Whatever happens don't say anything to him. As far as he's ed, you're just here to examine him."

  Daiodded and sat in the guest room while his grandfather went to talk to his friend in private. After about 15 minutes Daichi saw Kensei ing towards him. At that moment the quest acceptaification appeared.

  "e on."

  Kensei led Daichi to another room where the man was waiting.

  "Yrandfather said this is going to be a routine check up. Is that all or is there something more?" Jin asked Daichi.

  "It's a routine checkup to see if there are any ued ges in your vitals."

  Jin nodded and y down in his bed. Daichi got near him. He raised his palms over the man's chest and instantly they glowed green. Daichi began sing the man's body starting with his chest.

  After several minutes of sing Daichi came to a clusion. 'Lady Tsunade was right. I sense nn particles or anomalies in his body. Whatever it is it either left his system or it's pletely hidden. This will be a lot more plicated than I thought. I o know everything about the time he was ied.' The green medical chakra died down aook a step back.

  Daichi began asking Jin about his travels, the foods he eats and family history. As Jin answered each question Daichi couldn't reach a solid clusion. Deg to finish his questioning regarding the man's health, Daichi started asking about his business.

  Jin replied with a small smile. "I started from scratd now have business operations in three nations. I have a few friends like yrandpa who help me look after them."

  "I'm sure Kai and Leo won't be too pleased with the workload after you leave them in charge of the branch here." Kensei said with a smile trying to lighteuation.

  "Haha. True… It's a shame though. If I hadn't caught this disease I could have set up another bran the Land of Rice Paddies." Jin said to Kensei. her of them Daichi's rea to those words.

  The moment Daichi heard Land of Rice Paddies, he stilled. Only ohought went through his mind. 'Don't tell me, Orochimaru is involved.'

  Daichi began subtly asking questiarding this new information. He wao keep what he learned a secret even from his grandfather so as to avoid answering any unnecessary questions.

  After a short while Daichi left the pce. After using his medical skills and observe, Daichi had a far greater uanding of Jin's dition. And the new information gave him a rough idea as to how to heal him.

  "Did you get everything you wanted?" Kensei asked his grandson.

  "Mmhm. I believe so."

  For the month Daichi spent every day analyzing the results of the blood taken from Jin and the herbs he's currently taking. 'The fact that Tsunade was able to find the bination of the herbs to slow the poison down without knowing what it is, is incredible.'

  He also did some researd found that Jin had bought some nds in the Land of Paddies. But he had to let them go due to his illness. During aensive blood test and with the help of his medical skills, Daichi was able to find something that Tsunade missed.

  'The drug hasn't left his system. It's invisible and 't be detected by chakra or any normal methods. That's why Tsunade couldn't stop this illness. The only way I find out exactly what it is, is to make it appear in his bloodstream. And the only way that's possible is if the invisible poisos with a specifipound. If I had to guess, it will most probably be a ade chemical. The poison is something that blends into the bloodstream making it virtually impossible to trace… I o find the pound… And I have a feeling Orochimaru is the ao my questions.'

  —-

  Days turo weeks and soon March arrived. It was early m and Daichi and pany were at the gates of the Fire capital.

  "Thank you for training me sensei." Daichi bowed to Tsunade as he spoke the words. He had great appreciation for the woman who taught him everything about the medical field.

  "Good luck Daichi. Make sure to pass. It'd be a shame if my studeo fail the exam." The Sannin replied with a smirk.

  "Yes. Of course. I won't let you down."

  "Goodbye Daichi. Take care of yourself."

  "You too, Shizune senpai."

  Kensei o the both of them and theook off. Tsuched Daichi's figure vanish in the distance.

  "Are you worried about him, my Lady?"

  Tsunade just smiled. "No. Whatever the obstacle, he overe them. He'll be fine."

  Daichi and Kensei spent half a day on the road before they saw the giant walls of the vilge. A smile formed on his face as he looked at the pce. "You know, I kinda missed this pce."

  Kensei smiled at that se. "It is home afterall."

  firming their identities at the vilge gates both of them made their way to Kensei's Home. Upoering the pce Daichi felt happy. He looked at the garden that was unattended for two years.

  "Need some trimming and some pest trol but I'm sure it's nothing we 't manage." Kensei said with a smile.

  Daiodded and both of them went inside.
