  "It's Jin. He's in a serious state. It's not looking good."

  Daichi closed his eyes and internally groaned. 'It seems I 't wait any longer. But my samples aren't ready yet... Guess I have to take the spes I currently have and make it work.'

  The Genin opened his eyes and spoke. "How is he?"

  Kensei sat down on the pord replied. "He's in bad shape. He's coughing up blood and is too tired to even speak. Tsunade is already there and is treating him but… There is not much she do at this point."

  "I see."

  The old ninja turo his grandson. He wao speak but the words were stu his throat. Daichi saw the man's struggle and replied to the unasked question.

  "I'm going to the capital with you. I o see him. I might have a way to help."

  Kensei narrowed his eyes and was silent for a few seds. "Does it have anything to do with the small b you had me set up near here?"

  "Yeah. e on." Daichi took his grandfather to a nearby shed in their yard and opehe door.

  It was a small boratory that Daichi had his grandfather build. It had several medical equipment and Kensei could see multiple pnts in small pots on one side, sealed iemperature trolled shelf.

  Daichi looked at the miniature shabby b and smiled. 'Up until now this was enough but going forward this b and its items will be insuffit. Still I'm gonna miss this pce.'

  After being a Genin Daichi and his es had spent a lot of time here examining various materials and creating new medical pills and refining his mediinjutsu.

  Kensei looked at the small b and was impressed. It was the first time he ehe boratory after it was built. 'Everything is kept so and orderly. If I didn't know aer I would have thought the kid had some kind of obsessive pulsive disorder.'

  There were several scrolls on a nearby table and Daichi opehe shelf and took all the small potted pnts and sealed them into the scroll. He turo his grandfather and spoke. "Let go Gramps. We better hurry."

  Kensei nodded and two after rep to the Hokage about their departure, soohe vilge walls.

  —-

  It was noon by the time Daichi and Kensei had reached the Fire Capital. They made their way to Jin's vil but before Daichi took aep Kensei raised his arm and stopped the boy.

  He looked at his grandson and spoke in a serious tone. "Daichi, do you have a way to cure Jin?"

  The Genin was silent for a few moments and then truthfully replied. "No. I don't have a cure for him."

  "What exactly is your iion here? What exactly is his ce of survival?"

  The boy sighed and replied. "It's slim. I have a few ideas on how to help him but nothing crete. I have a few theories in mind but I have to examine him first. And his aking out of this is… very low."

  Kensei closed his eyes a out a breath of air. He looked at his grandson and nodded in uanding. "Let's go see him."

  The two met the guards outside and were soon escorted in. As the two came he entrahey saw someone ing out. Daichi's eyes widened and a smile was on his face.

  —-

  "Arrh…" A man groaned in pain as a needle was ied into his arm to take his blood.

  "Please bear with it for a few more seds." Shizune spoke as she took the man's blood sample.

  Tsunade was he door looking at the whole se. Her phobia had lessened from before but it was still present.

  A sed ter Shizune was doh her work and headed into the room with the vial of blood.

  The female Sannin walked up to the man on the bed and gave her verdict. "It's the same herbs but I've tweaked the formu of the pills. They should take effed reduce the pain soon."

  Jin could only give a shallow nod as a reply. Tsunade spoke again. "This is only a stop gap measure. I've dohe best I . Even with these new pills you only have 3 or 4 months left. 5 if you're really stubborn." The blonde woman said with a smirk.

  There was an almost imperceptible smile on Jin's face as he heard that. But he couldn't make a single sound.

  Seeing the man's state, Tsunade's small smile also disappeared. "I'm sorry."

  Jin looked at the woman and tried to smile. He uood that she did her best but he was well aware that even she had her limits. The man closed his eyes ao sleep so he could ighe pain his body was in.

  Tsunade sighed as she looked at the sleeping man. She left him alone a outside to get some fresh air. At that moment she saw two people ing towards her. She expected Keo be here but she was surprised to see her student.

  "Hey sensei. Been a long time." Daichi greeted his teacher with a smile.

  "Daichi? I'm surprised to see you here."

  "I came to check up on Jin. Gramps told me you'd be here. Is Shizune senpai here too?" Daichi asked.

  Lady Tsunade nodded. "She's running some tests inside."

  The three went inside and discussed the situation.

  "Were you able to help him?" Kensei asked the older medija.

  "I was able to create some modified pills but that won't help for long. He has at best 4 months."

  "I see…"

  " I examine him, sensei?" Daichi asked his former mentor.

  Tsunade looked at her student and spoke. "Shizune is currently perf a risk assessment to predict the patient's disposition and the course of a."

  "I help her. I might have an idea as to the problem. I'm not sure but I need access." Daichi was serious about examining Jin but he didn't want to overstep on a patient she's looking after.

  Tsunade looked at the boy and then sighed. A moment ter she slowly nodded her head.

  "Thank you sensei." Daichi had a smile a inside.

  "Good luck."

  The leaf ninja headed inside and quickly found Jin's room. He quietly made his way to the sleeping man and pced his hands over his chest.

  They glowed green a sed ter as Daichi carefully examined him. The Genin medic sed Jin right down to his cells and took note of the damage that was being doo his body.

  'His muscles have severely weakened. He has a fever but that seems to be slowly going down… Hm… It seems sensei was able to stabilize the heart, blood pressure and breathing before I got here. She's healed some of the damage doo the liver and boosted the kidney funs. That's good… The new pills he took are w well… Hmm… Good. I have some time then.'

  Daichi examihe sleeping man for a while and collected as muformation as he could. Ohe first part of his work was done he headed to the small b setup ihe vil.

  'Wow. Rich people really are different. His own medical b with most of the test tools. This pce makes mine look like a dump.'

  At that moment ihe b Shizune was w on the blood sample and analyzing it. 'I 't find anything even now. But based on Lady Tsunade's his man was definitely poisoned. But without a way to identify the fn particles it's no use.'

  At that moment there was a kno the door. Shizuurned her head to look at the newer and was surprised to see Daichi. A big smile was on her face as she greeted her fellow student.

  "I didn't know you were ing, Daichi. But I guess I should have expected this. Yrandpa is close friends with him." Shizune spoke, smiling.

  "Yeah. I examined him st time I was here. Thought I might take another look."

  Shizune nodded and both of them got to work.

  Daichi opehe quest list and looked at the one he was currently attempting to plete.

  [Quest Created - 'Heal Jin.']

  [Jin is diagnosed with an incurable disease and doesn't have much time left. Even Tsunade Senju could not find a perma cure. Identify the cause of his illness and aid him.

  Time limit: Find a perma cure within 12 months or a treatment that will increase his lifespan in 16 months.]

  .

  [ditions:]

  [Perform the correct diagnosis and identify the real cause of his illness.]

  [Create a treatment that will increase his lifespan by at least 5 years or more.]

  .

  [Bonus:]

  [pletely heal Jin and save him from the illness.]

  'I diagnosed him ihird week of st January. It looks like his dition has beeeriorating day by day. I o act soon.'

  Daichi also noticed another detail in the quest.

  'It looks like the quest was right about how much time Jin had. This firms beyond a doubt. My system see the future. I o keep this information in mind at all times. Don't know when it will e in handy.'

  The genin ran several tests on the new blood taken and o himself. He also analyzed the new pills his teacher created for Jin and as he examihem his pns on finding a way to extend the man's life and even find a cure became more and more of a reality.

  'So that's it… My theory was right. Tsunade sensei's new pills prove it.'

  "So find anything we missed Daichi?" At that moment Tsunade came in and asked her student.

  "Maybe. Your new pills have proved a hypothesis of mine." Daichi said with a smile.

  Tsunade and Shizune were surprised to hear that. "What are you talking about Daichi?"

  "The reason you couldn't e up with a cure or know what the poison that ied him is because you haven't e across it. Or the pnts that were used to create it." Daichi replied.

  "That's impossible. Remember our time at the Three wolves mountain. I spent a lot of time going over every herb and flora that was there. The people of that region grow almost all pnts from all around the world. A poison as unique and powerful as this… It would have only been possible to create it with the herbs avaible there. And I would have found it if it was there."

  "Well you teically did." Daichi had a smile as he looked at his teacher. He began expining what he meant. "The herbs you used to slow down the poison. Only you could e up with the bination o slow the poison down without eveifying it. But what if I told you those very herbs are the pos used iing the poison? Well, at least some of them anyway."

  "But you just said that Lady Tsunade hadn't e across the pnts that were used to create this poison." Shizune spoke out.

  "I did. And that's also true." The boy had a grin on his face.

  "Eborate." Tsunade was silent as she looked at her student.

  "I believe someoh some serious knowledge on the human body, pnts and medie created this poison. They took several dozens of pnts and cross pollihem to create new breeds. I believe the person behind this poisoning used cross pollination aigineering on multiple varieties of the same species and did so with over a dozen spes. And perhaps even further cross pollination could have taken pce. He or she must have mostly used poisonous pnts to make the toxin more deadly. But still the pnts you used as herbs must have been used in this experiment. They must have been the key pieces. It's why the pills created from them were effective till now. They were fighting against an enemy invisible to all but them. It's just that they weren't strong enough to get rid of the poison."

  The Sannin sat down in a chair and thought about it for a while. "Daichi, something like that would take a lot of time, focus, energy and resources to create. It's much easier to hire someoo kill the man." She said.

  "Yes. That's true. But what if that would draw unwatention?... This way he would have died slowly without anyone knowing what had really happened… Regardless, this is the theory I have and I o test it." Daichi replied.

  "How?"

  At that Daichi took his own scroll out and ope on a nearby empty table. Over 2 dozen small potted pnts appeared along with several notes. In it were pnts and herbs that Tsunade reized and some that she immediately didn't.

  "I tried to create a few cross pollinated pnts but they haven't fully matured yet. And even then, I still o analyze their properties and DNA and synthesize their enzymes and analyze it to Jin's blood. The right bination might help in revealing the poison hidden in his body."

  "That's like over a billion binations!" Shizune excimed.

  Tsunade's eyes widened as she heard that. "Even with all my free time, I've only been able to e up with herbs that could slohatever is attag him… The one or multiple poisons responsible for all this. Daichi, finding out something like that… It would take a long long time. Time he doesn't have. And finding the right bination aatioween these 27 spes you have… How do you pn to do that? Ji exactly have medical equipment capable enough to do that kind of putational work and I doubt the hospital would lend us one."

  "We don't need a puter. I'm going to do it." The boy said with a big grin.

  The two female medics were shocked. "You 't be serious."

  The smile disappeared from the boy's face as he looked at the other two. "I am. Deadly serious. It will take a few days, maybe a week but I believe I'll have an answer by then. Excuse me sensei. I o prepare."

  The two were in silence as they watched the boy exit the room.

  Daichi headed outside ahe wind blowing in his face. He sensed his grandfather ing and turo the man. The old man knew of Daichi's miracle on the Minister's nephew and was hoping for oo happen now to Jin.

  "Daichi, if you do anything to help Jin... ple-"

  "Don't! I don't ever wanna hear you say that word. Not to me… I'll do everything I . I might have a way." Daichi smiled at his grandfather as he tried to reassure the man.

  The old man nodded and soohe boy to his thoughts.

  'Intelligence, Wisdom and Vitality. They're the key.'

  The gamer ninja let out a deep breath of air and made his decision.

  Author's Note:
