章節 119: Chapter 119 - Seek the Hidden Truth of the Necklace
It was the last day of April. Daichi had spent everyday training in the hospital and improving his basic medical skills. He also didn't neglect his other chakra training.
The day was coming to a close and Daichi was just about to complete his shift when an emergency occurred.
"Lady Tsunade! We need your help." A nurse at the hospital barged into the room. She had a patient with her that seemed to be in agony.
"Lay him down." Shizune and Daichi laid the patient down on the examination table.
"He came in with severe pain in his abdominal area. We ran a diagnostic and sensed abnormal chakra fluctuations."
"We'll take it from here." Shizune told the nurse and after giving them the relevant information she left.
"Well Daichi, you're up. He is in pain and his chakra network is behaving erratically. So identify the problem quickly and solve it or Shizune will step in." Tsunade spoke at that moment.
Daichi nodded and looked over at the patient. He ran a medical diagnostic jutsu created by Tsunade and quickly identified the problem.
"He has a parasite in his abdominal area and it's leeching off his chakra. He needs surgery." Daichi spoke and quickly put on the gloves and took a clean scalpel.
The room they were in was clean and was capable of such a situation. Daichi prepared the patient and he cleaned the area and cut into the person's body. He quickly reached the intended area where the parasite was laying and carefully cut it out. It wiggled and sent the drops of blood on its body flying everywhere. Daichi placed it in a container and quickly closed the wound. He was calm the entire time and moved with precision. His high dexterity helped in making it a perfect surgery with no mistakes.
"Done." Daichi said. He called the nurse back and she took the unconscious patient out of the room.
It was only then that Daichi turned around to look at his mentors. He saw a few drops of blood on Tsunade's hands and she was shaking like a leaf. Shizune calmed her down in a low voice and quickly wiped the blood of her master.
Tsunade looked at the two people in the room. Her eyes fell on Daichi and she felt like a failure at that moment. 'How pathetic! At this point a child is a better medic than me.'
"I need some air." With those words she quickly left the room.
Daichi sighed at the scene. 'Trauma like that… It's not something that can be overcome with ease… Well unless you befriend the protagonist of the series…'
His eyes then went to Shizune. Even though he knew the reason he still asked. "She has hemophobia doesn't she…? What happened?"
Shizune let out a small breath and looked sad at that question.
"It was something that happened a long time ago… She had two great loves in her life. The two most important people to her. The first was her brother. Nawaki Senju. He had dreams of becoming Hokage. On his twelfth birthday after learning his goal, Lady Tsunade entrusted him with the green gem necklace and hoped he would achieve his dreams… The necklace once belonged to her grandfather, the First Hokage. So she thought Nawaki deserved it. He died the day after in an unfortunate accident during a mission…"
Daichi nodded slightly and didn't speak. 'If I remember right, then his body was blown up and the only thing that was intact was the necklace.'
Shizune continued without knowing Daichi's thoughts. "It took a long time for her to recover from that. The second person she loved was my uncle. Dan Kato. He too had the same dream of becoming Hokage and he was the second person she entrusted the necklace to. Shortly after, during the second world war his team was ambushed and he was gravely injured. Lady Tsunade couldn't save his life and he died in her arms… From that day she became afraid of blood… She holds onto the necklace because it reminds her of her loss."
"So that necklace represents the two great losses of her life huh… If she wants to recover and move on then she should entrust the necklace to someone else." Daichi said this because he wanted to see if he could cure Tsunade of her phobia. And he felt that the person who should have the gem was Naruto. Daichi had no interest in becoming Hokage and he had no interest in getting the green gem from the Sannin.
Shizune shook her head hearing that. "It's not that easy. There is more to that necklace. Lady Tsunade believes it is cursed. She believes anyone who wears it other than her will die. So she won't give it up to anyone."
Daichi crossed his arms as he thought about that detail. 'Right. There is that…'
At that moment an unexpected quest box appeared.
[Quest Created] - 'Seek the Hidden Truth of the Necklace.'
[Tsunade and those around her believe there is a curse on the first Hokage's necklace that would kill anyone who wears it other than Tsunade Senju. But is this the truth? Investigate what happened in secret and find the hidden truth of the necklace. ]
[No time limit.]
[Once you've found the truth, you have two options.]
[Option 1:]
Reveal the truth to Tsunade.
[Rewards:]
15000 Exp.
Reputation might increase or decrease with Tsunade, Shizune and possibly others.
[Note: Revealing the truth to Tsunade will have unknown consequences.]
[Option 2:]
Keep what you've learned to yourself.
.
[Rewards:]
15000 Exp.
[Failure:]
If you are caught investigating the incidents then certain dangerous individuals will have their eyes on you.
[Possible death…]
.
[Accept] Y/N
After telling the story Shizune left the room to find her master but Daichi was standing still staring at the quest box. He read the contents and was astonished.
'What the hell…? There's more to the story behind what happened…? And the failure part of the quest… Certain dangerous individuals and possible death… So does that mean…'
Several thoughts went through Daichi's mind and he came to a conclusion. 'The death of Nawaki Senju and Dan Kato… They weren't accidents. It was both planned… Two assassinations disguised as accidents.'
After thinking about it for a few more seconds Daichi accepted the quest despite the risks. He was far too curious now. He decided he would think about it more once he got home.
He washed up and stepped out of the room. He saw a much calmer Tsunade and Shizune waiting for him along with the head of the hospital Dr. Karuizawa.
"I'm impressed young man. You passed the month without any problems. You treated every patient correctly. A perfect record. Which is unheard of for a trainee… and even some doctors." The man spoke with a large smile.
[Reputation increased with Karuizawa, Tsunade Senju and Shizune.]
"Your basic training has now come to an end. If you wish to practice your medical arts you are welcome here."
Daichi gave a small polite bow and thanked the man for the opportunity. 'Thanks to Tsunade's books I know every part of the human body, the problems that can arise and how to treat them efficiently and correctly. And with the Gamer's Mind keeping me calm and my absolute recall skill treatment is no problem. Add in my 'observe' skill and diagnosing and accurately identifying a patient's illness was easy too...'
Once Karuizawa left, Daichi turned to his two teachers.
"Come on brat. Let's go. We're celebrating tonight. My treat." Tsunade said with a smirk and led the way. They made their way to the red phoenix restaurant and this time went to the First floor.
They found a quiet private spot and gave their order.
Tsunade looked at Daichi and was deeply impressed with his skills and talents. She never met a child with as much raw potential as him. 'He didn't make a single mistake throughout the month. He was able to correctly identify the problem and solve it every time. Even I made mistakes when I started out. But then again I didn't have the knowledge he had. But still. To apply that knowledge into practice correctly… His potential is vast.'
"You've completed your training for the first month and performed the tasks perfectly. I have to admit. You have some skill. You know… You could become an excellent medic and spend your days in minimal danger and lead a comfortable life if you become a medic at the hospital here." Tsunade said as she looked at the boy.
"I know. But that's not the life I want… And you already know that."
The Senju merely smirked at that reply.
"Take a few days off to rest. After that we'll get started on the advanced stuff. It will only get difficult for you from this point forward."
Daichi nodded. 'Finally… I'll be able to learn medical ninjutsu and can master it much faster thanks to my perfect control. Based on the speed, I should be able to learn everything she can teach me in the next couple years.'
The food soon arrived and everyone enjoyed themselves.
"So Daichi, what are your plans for the next two days?" Shizune asked the boy.
Daichi paused for a moment and thought about it. After a short while he had an answer. "I'm thinking about starting on the first step of the change in chakra nature for lightning. Since I have the next few days off I'll be able to start on that and complete it in a month or two."
The slight Sannin smirked and looked at the boy. "You really think you can master the first step in just two months while training in medical ninjutsu and completing your daily academy assignments…!?"
"Yes. I would have mastered it in less than 2 or 3 weeks if I had nothing to do but as you've said, I have plenty on my plate already. That's why I said two months…" Daichi had a smirk on his face as he replied.
"You're a cocky little brat aren't you?"
"You're only now figuring that out?" Daichi looked at her and took a bite of his food.
Tsunade's eyes twitched as she looked at the smug grin on the boy's face. 'Why this little…'
Shizune awkwardly laughed looking at the scene. 'Daichi… Please don't antagonize Lady Tsunade. I really like this restaurant.'
"Don't you have anything else to do? Don't you have any hobbies?" Tsunade asked him as she drank some sake.
"Well… I cook when the mood hits me and I occasionally paint… But... now that I think about it… I haven't had much time for those recently." Daichi pondered on that though. 'I need to enjoy myself. I can't spend all my time training even though I like it… I need to experience more in life…'
"Wait! You paint?" Shizune asked him.
Daichi nodded and Shizune made a request for a portrait of herself. Daichi accepted and told her he would make one in a couple weeks.
A couple hours later the small party winded down and Daichi went home.
When he got home he noticed that Kensei wasn't around. 'Must be on a trip outside the capital again… He's been going out a lot more, lately. Wonder why…?'
Daichi didn't think about it more because he had something else in his mind.
He completed his daily assignments and just laid in his bed. He thought about the recent quest that was created.
'Seek the hidden truth of the necklace. It's the first time I got a quest with different options like this. Not telling Tsunade and nothing happens, but telling Tsunade can create some kind of ripple effect… And what's more is the reward for telling her... My reputation might decrease…? How is that even possible? Just what kind of secret is it?'
Daichi went over everything he knew about the deaths and about the two characters.
'Nawaki Senju and Dan Kato. To the show they were just side characters that were created to move the plot forward. But this isn't a show… It's real life. At least for me…'
Daichi took a deep breath and thought about the situation.
'It looks like their deaths were planned murders instead of some accident that happened on a mission… So who would benefit from the death of a genin and a Jonin…? Is it the work of one individual or two individuals? Or is it an organization that's behind their deaths? Is Danzo involved in this? Both of them wanted to be Hokage… Is that the reason? No. Nawaki was just a kid. He wasn't a threat. And I doubt Danzo would order the assassination on the grandchild of the First Hokage… Still… can't completely rule him out.'
Daichi frowned as he looked at the ceiling of his room. 'There are too many variables. Dan, Nawaki, Tsunade, the Senju clan, Hokage, the necklace… There are too many things connected. But what was it that caused their deaths…?'
Daichi thought about it some more and made a decision. 'I need more information. In the meantime I need to come up with some theories that connect all the dots. I've seen the show in its entirety. The clue must be hidden in there somewhere…'

章節 120: Chapter 120 - Sculpting Skill and Lightning Nature
Daichi woke up precisely at 4 am. He was used to waking up so early and he began his morning workouts. Daichi completed them and meditated for a couple hours. He had several thoughts running through his mind.
'I have a couple days off… So should I start lightning nature training today or tomorrow?.. Hmm… I'll begin on that tomorrow. Before I start that training I need to check my skill list and see what level all of them are at and see if any of them needs leveling up.'
Daichi opened his skill list and went through each skill. As he went down the list his eyes reached a certain skill he hadn't truly started on yet.
[Creation - Active(LV.3): This skill is used for creating an item. As the skill increases, items with greater quality can be created. This skill can be used to even create legendary and Mythical items. But blueprints are required for such creations. The items are divided into 5 grades. Common, Rare, Unique, Legendary and Mythical.]
[Note: The chakra cost of the skill, depends on the chakra supplied.]
[Effects: ]
[16.5% Chance when creating Common grade items.]
[ 1% Chance when creating Rare grade items. ]
[ 0% Chance when creating Unique grade items.]
[ 0% Chance when creating Legendary grade items. ]
[ 0% Chance when creating Mythical grade items.]
'This is an extremely important skill but I haven't had the time to use it. But it still managed to reach level 3…'
The answer quickly came to him. 'It's most likely my painting skill. I created several artworks and it's a crafting skill… So it is possible it will have an effect on this skill…'
Daichi got up and went for a walk around the capital. He had several ideas in mind but he wasn't sure if he should follow through with them.
'The gamer ability is truly an OP ability. I could learn a lot of non shinobi related stuff in a short amount of time… But should I do it or just focus on the chakra and ninja skill aspects…'
As Daichi walked through the streets he came near a sculpture shop.
'Terra crafts house'. It was the name of the shop. Daichi saw several sculptors working on various materials.
At that moment a thought went through Daichi. 'I can learn important skills like sculpting and blacksmithing and it would definitely increase my creation skill level. Now that I think about it, I'll be able to create different weapons and armor as well if I can level it up to a high degree… And these are important life skills I'll need in the future… So it's not a bad thing to learn them.'
Daichi made a decision and entered the shop. He quickly found the owner of the place. Daichi asked the man if he could just observe the workers that were in the shop for the day. At first the man refused but Daichi was able to change his decision with the promise of 20000 Ryo.
The man's eyes went to the money in Daichi's hand and he changed his mind. "You only want to see how they work for the day, right…?"
Daichi nodded his head. "Yes. Just for today and I'll only be observing them. I promise I won't disturb them from their work."
"Fine." The head sculptor Morman finally agreed. Daichi gave him the money and created two clones. Each clone along with himself picked the three most talented workers in the place and started observing them.
Daichi and his clones carefully memorized everything the workers did. From the way they use the tools to the movements of their wrists, hands and body. Daichi had the ability to memorize everything and it greatly helped him.
By the time evening came Daichi had a solid understanding of the sculpting arts. He knew what tools to use and how to use them. He bought a set of carving knives and tools and a couple blocks of wood. He headed straight home and began his work.
Daichi had an image in mind and he began carving the wood in front of him. He worked slowly and methodically. He carved the wood away bit by bit and a short while later the image he had in his mind began to appear in it.
The image of a man started to appear and with each minute and with more delicate details added the identity of the man became clearer.
Kensei Yasaji. Yes. Daichi was creating a small sculpture of his grandfather. After an hour the work was done. The sculpture had a great resemblance to the old man. The details Daichi added to it were so accurate that one might think it was a miniature Kensei.
At that moment Daichi heard the system message sound.
[A new skill is created with a specific action.]
[By carving the wood and creating a good sculpture, the skill 'Sculpting' has been created.]
[Sculpting - Passive(LV.01): A production skill that helps the user create sculptures of various shapes, sizes and designs. This skill helps the user in carving or engraving on various types of materials. Although this is limited at the moment due to the low level. Artworks created in the future that have high artistic value can be worth a fortune. Sculptures created at higher levels can be imbued with some effects. This skill is divided into 4 grades. Common - Great - Epic - Masterpiece. Mastering this skill can increase the level of other crafting skills.]
Current grade: Common.
[Effects: ]
[5% Increase in visual appeal of the sculpture.]
[5% Increase of accuracy when sculpting.]
[1% Chance of engraving unique patterns when sculpting. ]
[Increase reputation throughout the land.]
"Yes!" Daichi had a wide smile. 'I knew it. I knew I would get the necessary skill if I made a good sculpture.'
Daichi looked at the small statue in his hand. 'This will make an excellent gift for the old man.'
Daichi placed the statue in a safe place and went over the new sculpting skill. 'I can make a lot of money with this skill… And the ability to add effects to my works… That'll definitely come in handy… This is definitely an excellent skill.'
At that moment another notification appeared.
[Skill Creation's level has risen by one.]
'Just as I suspected. Creation is an ultimate crafting skill which can be used to make legendary or mythical items like the blades of the seven swordsmen of the mist or even something like Itachi's spirit weapons… I need to level up the creation skill fast and the best way to do it is to level up the production skills like painting and sculpting. I also need to learn blacksmithing at a later date… With that skill I'll be able to create Armor and weapons that this world has never seen before…'
A grin formed on Daichi's face as he thought of the different possibilities. 'When the time comes my name will be known to everyone. They will know me as not just the greatest ninja but a man of many talents… I will spread my name throughout the world.'
Daichi decided to add sculpting and painting to his training. He would create three or four sculptures and artworks each week and improve the level of the related skills and the creation skill.
'With each day I'm adding more and more things to my 'to do' list. Leveling up, Medical ninjutsu training, chakra training, academy assignments, dungeons and now sculpting… But even though there are a lot of things I have to do, I don't feel overwhelmed at all… All I'm feeling is excitement…'
With a wide smile and a satisfying day Daichi went to sleep. The next day after his morning routine Daichi was in his backyard sitting under a tree. He picked up a leaf and held it between his fingers.
'I shouldn't delay it any longer. It's time to train the change in chakra nature for lightning.'
Daichi remembered the information on the Lightning training methods from Kensei's books.
'For the lightning nature I need to separate the chakra into many pieces and make the chakra bounce and hit each other. This will generate spark and heat and then I have to rejoin the chakra and concentrate it on the leaf.'
Daichi held the leaf between his palms and began the 4th chakra nature training.
Daichi closed his eyes and focused. 'Concentrate.'
With each chakra control technique and chakra nature mastered, Daichi's Chakra Affinity and Chakra Manipulation skills have also leveled up. This in turn made it easier for him to utilize his chakra with each passing day.
Daichi gathered his chakra and was able to quickly split it into many pieces. He started bouncing the tiny pieces of energy and made them hit against each other. Daichi visualized and concentrated on how his chakra felt when using lightning jutsu and focused on it.
It was a success. After a minute Daichi rejoined his chakra and poured it to the leaf. The sound of the system alerted him to the outcome of his experiment.
"Ding."
[A new skill is created with a specific action.]
[Lightning - Leaf scorching technique - (Active/Passive)(LV. 1): A lightning chakra affinity training skill obtained through continuously focusing chakra to a leaf and scorching it. A basic technique to help the user increase the strength of their lightning chakra nature.]
[Note: Increasing the level of this skill will increase the level of the skill 'Lightning Affinity.']
[Effects:]
[1% increase in Lightning Chakra control. ]
[CP cost : 52/sec.]
'Leaf scorching technique, huh! Well… The name is apt I suppose.'
Daichi looked at the leaf between his palms and saw that a small portion of it was scorched black.
'It's a bit different from fire. With fire the leaf would burn and the burned portion would immediately crumble to ash but now when using lightning, the portion of the leaf is scorched black. Almost charred….'
Daichi examined the leaf with a critical eye.
'An incomplete combustion due to being subjected to high heat. The heat removed the hydrogen and oxygen and now the only thing remaining in the charred portions are primarily made of carbons.'
Daichi thought about the applications of the lightning chakra nature. Just as water can be boiled and turned to vapor or cooled and turned to ice, lightning can be used in various ways.
'Right now I need to master the 5 different natures. Then I'll see if I can start on creating Ninjutsu and combine different natures…'
Daichi created 10 clones and 2 of them went to meditate while the others picked up some leaves. 'If I want to stand above the rest then I need to fight on a higher level. Create techniques that they never even thought of…'
Daichi then opened his skill list and checked the Lightning Affinity skill.
[Lightning affinity - (Active/Passive)(LV.20): Lightning Release is one of the five basic nature transformations. It is commonly affiliated with Snake hand-seal. Once this skill crosses Level 85 the user can manipulate all forms of electricity dwelling in all matter known as Charged Particles. This will boost the user's lightning powers several times. Once this skill crosses Level 90, the user can combine it with other nature affinities which have also crossed Level 90.]
[Effects: ]
[40% Increase in Lightning attack jutsu.]
[40% Increase in Lightning defense jutsu.]
[18% Increase in success when creating Lightning style jutsu.]
[10% Decrease in Chakra cost when using Lightning style jutsu.]
'Level 20 huh. It's low but that will increase to at least level 75 by the time I'm done with the first two steps.'
And thus Daichi began his change in chakra nature training of the year. He and his clones spent every second of the day on nothing but training and by midnight he was able to level up the Leaf scorching technique to 16.
Daichi freshened up, ate some food and went to bed. As he laid there he thought about his plan for the year.
'I will have to resume my medical training tomorrow so I won't be able to make such fast progress on chakra training. But still… Leaving 2 clones for training and one for meditation and gathering chakra each day won't be a problem… I'll also have to finish the dungeon run quickly.'
He thought about the many things he had to accomplish this year. With several plans for the future in mind, Daichi quickly went to sleep.
