The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

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."
