Daichi held his breath and then let it out. He accepted the quest and got ready.
And like that Daichi's medic training officially began. Shizune went outside the room and brought the first patient.
"Remember Daichi. Communication, diagnosis and treatment." Tsunade gave a few more words of advice and then sat quietly.
Daichi nodded and looked at his first patient. It was a teenage boy. Daichi gave the kid a once over the moment he walked through the doors.
'Based on his outfit and the scars on his palms I'd say he's a carpenter. Or a trainee one… He's holding his right wrist. I don't see any external injury other than swelling so probably a sprain.'
"Hello." Daichi politely greeted the kid.
The boy looked at Daichi and was surprised. "Aren't you a little young to be a doctor?"
Daichi had a slight twitch in his eye. "I'm that good. So what seems to be the problem…"
With that Daichi's day at the hospital began. Just as he observed, his first patient came with a sprain. Since it wasn't a serious injury, Daichi gave the basic treatment and dismissed him.
Daichi remembered all the procedures, steps and treatment methods written in the books Tsunade gave him and he perfectly applied them.
Shizune stood a few feet from Daichi and had a critical eye on everything.
One after another, patients of all ages came to Daichi. Most of them were surprised to see a child treat them but some didn't care.
Daichi diagnosed a patient with blisters, pain and swelling. 'A minor second degree burn. Apply antibiotics to kill bacteria and elevate the burn area to reduce swelling and pain.'
At the beginning Daichi was somewhat unsure of the steps even though he memorized them. But as he got used to the situation his speed increased and his confidence grew.
Shizune was surprised at how calm and methodical Daichi was. 'His hesitation has disappeared. And the way he perfectly applies the medicine… He truly did memorize every book Lady Tsunade gave him. Incredible. He's doing a lot better than I did on my first day.'
As Daichi successfully treated more and more people the severity of the injuries slightly increased.
The next person that came to Daichi had a bleeding arm. Daichi was focused on the patient but at that moment Shizune discreetly looked at her mentor.
Tsunade turned her head and looked outside the window the moment she saw the patient.
Daichi didn't pay attention to the two. He quickly analyzed the arm and came up with the remedy. 'Hmm… It's a superficial wound. Non critical. So, Capillary bleeding. Apply pressure and stop the blood flow. Clean the wound and apply antibiotics to stop any infection and dress the wound.'
Daichi quickly moved with precision. He calmed the patient down and gently eased the man's worries and quickly completed his treatment.
Once that was done and the patient left the room, Shizune stepped forward. "Well done Daichi. Why don't we take a break?"
Daichi, not sure why but nodded. "Umm… Sure." He then looked at the Sannin Tsunade sitting near the window clutching her green gem necklace with a slightly shaky arm.
His eyes widened in realization. 'She must be reliving some traumatic memories. I better give them some space.'
"Yeah. A break sounds good. Why don't I get something to drink? Do you want any Miss Shizune?" Daichi asked as he turned his attention to his senpai.
"I'm good. Go." She replied with a small smile.
Daichi nodded and left the room.
Shizune turned to her master and was slightly saddened at the sight.
"I really must be in a pathetic state for you to look at me like that." Tsunade looked towards her apprentice and tried to smile. "Come on. Cheer up. I'll be fine…"
Shizune slightly frowned. 'That's a poor lie. You're far from fine. You're not happy. And haven't been for a long time. I haven't seen you smile like you truly mean it in a long time…'
"Do you think he's already figured it out?"
Tsunade's question brought Shizune out of her thoughts.
"About your…"
Tsunade merely nodded to the incomplete question.
Shizune thought about it and replied. "He's smart. He must have seen the state you were in and came to some conclusion. And even if he hasn't, since he's training under you, it won't be long before he figures it out."
Tsunade smirked at that. "Something tells me he already knows or at least figured it out. He probably left the room to give me some space… Cheeky brat."
"You think he knew about it before today? Do you think Kensei would have told him?" Shizune asked with a surprise.
The slug Sannin shook her head. "Kensei isn't the kind of person to tell someone something like that. Not even to his grandson… If Daichi did know then he must have found out some other way. But if he didn't then I'm pretty sure he must have suspected it after seeing my reaction to the last patient."
Shizune nodded.
Meanwhile Daichi was roaming the halls of the hospital. He got something to eat and was feeling mentally refreshed after taking a break.
He reviewed the events of the day and smiled. 'I'm getting better and better. I haven't made a mistake so far and must keep it that way. Tsunade really is a genius when it comes to medical stuff. Her books contained information that made everything I learned about the field seem like nothing. The precise and most effective methods of treatment and medicine were her creations. She truly is a master of the field.'
After a while Daichi got back to the examination room and continued treating his patients.
Daichi gained experience with treating burns, bleeding, concussion, setting a split and more. He learned and experienced how to stitch up and close wounds and set the dislocated bones right. His basic skills and overall experience and understanding improved at tremendous pace.
As Daichi treated each patient his reputation with said patient would also slightly increase. The day soon came to a close. Daichi successfully completed his quest and got a new skill that paired well with his current needs.
[Quest 'Heal the patients' Completed.]
[Rewards:]
6000 Exp.
[New skill: First Aid ]
[Reputation increases with Tsunade Senju, Shizune Kato, Karuizawa.]
[Reputation slightly increases with the people of Fire Capital.]
[You have leveled up.]
.
[First Aid - Passive(LV.1): A basic and necessary skill for any ninja. This skill enables the user to heal themselves or others and remove poisons and other non critical debuffs. With more proficiency the user can create a variety of bandages from different clothes and increase the HP restored. Higher level increases faster HP recovery.]
[Effects: ]
[10 HP restored when applying First Aid.]
[35% Increase in successfully identifying normal poisons. ]
[35% Increase in successfully creating antidotes. ]
[2% Increase in recovery speed.]
[0.5% Increase in successfully identifying unique and engineered poisons.]
Daichi looked at the rewards and was happy. 'A level up and a new skill. Nice.' He went over the effects of the skill 'First Aid'. 'A passive skill huh. Hmm… With higher levels I can increase the HP restored and the recovery speed and this says it applies to everyone I use it on. So people I heal in the future will recover faster. That's going to come in handy when I'm in a team… Only 35% in identifying poisons and creating anti venoms? I learned all the poisons and antidotes written in those books. And I'm pretty sure I can follow the steps and create antidotes. So shouldn't it be 100%?'
After thinking about it some more, Daichi came to a conclusion. 'Tsunade only gave me a portion of the books. She must still be holding out the important stuff. Hmm… Now that I think about it, that makes sense. Looks like there is still much I need to learn.'
"Not bad. You did well on your first day. But things will only get harder from here. So don't get overconfident." Lady Tsunade's voice brought Daichi out of his thoughts.
He nodded. "I understand."
"You're done for the day. Meet us here tomorrow morning at the same time. Let's go, Shizune! I need a drink." With those words the Senju left the room.
Daichi gave a small bow and spoke to Shizune. "Thank you for the guidance. I'll see you tomorrow."
The woman nodded and smiled at the boy and they both went their separate ways.
Without wasting time Daichi headed straight home. He met Kensei who was going over some documents.
"So how was your first day as a medic ninja trainee?"
"It felt a bit overwhelming at the beginning but I got used to it pretty quickly. The day passed without any problems." Daichi replied.
Kensei nodded. "Well, it's your first day… Daichi! You'll experience many hardships, but if you can persevere and move forward, you can become something truly great."
Daichi smiled at the encouraging words. "I plan to."
Daichi went to his room and started on his academic assignment that was given to him. There were many he needed to complete and he got to work.

"Sake! Another bottle of sake." Tsunade emptied another bottle and yelled at the waiter. Shizune, who drank with her master, was passed out on the chair near her.
"You seem to be having a good time." The voice of Jiraiya came. His eyes then went to the woman passed out next to his former teammate. "Looks like Shizune is done for the day."
Tsunade looked at her apprentice. "Even after all this time… She still can't handle her booze. What a wimp."
"Hahaha…. I doubt anybody can hold a candle to you when it comes to booze." The toad sage laughed and sat down. "You look more and more beautiful each day."
"What do you want, you pervert? Shouldn't you be off somewhere doing 'research' for your trashy book"?
"Not tonight." Jiraiya took out a bottle and poured himself a cup and then handed Tsunade the bottle. They both drank and stayed quiet for a while.
"How's the brat?" Jiraiya asked her.
Tsunade took a few moments before answering. "You weren't kidding... He has enormous talent and potential. And it's not just that… He has a strong mind. His mental focus, his concentration… It's far above normal."
Jiraiya nodded. "I told you sensei wasn't wrong about him. He made a good choice sending the kid to you."
"I'll hold up my end of the deal. I'll teach the brat as much as I can. But after that I'm done."
Jiraiya only nodded to the words and didn't say anything else. They enjoyed each other's company in silence.

For Daichi, a routine slowly formed. Each day he would wake up early and complete his morning workouts and then would go to the hospital and train under Tsunade and Shizune for about 6 hours. He learned how to treat several types of injuries and became adept at identifying different diseases and poisons. His skill steadily leveled up. After his time at the hospital he would go home and complete the academy assignments for the day and then train his ninjutsu skills with the remaining time or just roam the capital.
Tsunade and Shizune were impressed with Daichi. They were surprised that he could keep his composure even under great stress and correctly make a diagnosis. He was always so calm and in control that they sometimes felt as if they were looking at a professional medic and not a trainee.
The days turned into weeks and soon a month passed.
Author’s Note:
If you enjoy my story then please take a moment to review and rate. A thumbs up always helps.
Gamer's Mind is so scary and disturbing.
Everything looks bland, But that's just Gamer's mind in effect.
It's Definitely the power most people wants after losing their loved ones.
I kinda expected to see the after effects and the consequences of the skill one day.
Or maybe when he turn it off and suddenly realized what messed up stuff he had done,
Or he became too used with his "uncaring" feeling from gamer's mind effects, and he doesn't feel difference anymore whiter its turned on/off.
And when he suddenly got mental attack/feel strong emotion, he finally realized Gamer's mind is turned off and it make him realize how uncaring he had became even when it's off, and how weak his natural mental power is against jutsu/tragedy, even after all this time.
there's no way he could feel that after all he hasn't done anything wrong yet! he hasn't killed a real person yet!!
He already turned it off before and made stupid choices, though he hasn't done anything mind brakingly messed up yet. It is not like having that skill would make anyone a hard cold killer and what not, just that when they want to kill some one they can rationally decide whether is good or bad to actually kill said person with no emotion to out weight said decision.
@Ruiso Him making bad decision due to bad timing can't be blamed, although sadly he does.
It's just like a kid getting trauma from stove and not gonna cook again without glove. But instead of glove, he uses painkiller everytime he cook.
Emotional numbing is unnatural in any way.
Gamer's mind allow him to see everything as 3rd person/as player seeing the screen.
How do you know something is good if you don't know what is bad ?
How you know something is acceptable and going to be praised if you don't know which ones is going to be rejected and blamed ?
Before you know about deciding something rationally, did you even know about what is irrational in first place ?
If all you do is just listen and hide behind the adult/expert/window that will protect you and never actually feel the joy, pain and other experience that were necessary, how are you gonna grow ?
Well, as for now it's kind of a plot device to show how perfect and agreeable MC is, plus how many stage of Mary sue sickness he already develops.
But I never like abnormalities without compromise nor consequences.
@ACertainPassingUser I meant that emotions doesn't matter in determinating those things, like a person that is just inherently evil will feel nothing when killing someone, there are those that can do the 'for greater good' bullsh*t to justify their kills but that is a bit extreme and not 'normal child behavior.'
Good or bad is relative, you don't need your emotions to know that some actions are good or bad, like for instance, if someone is raised as a killing tool from the very begining they will not bat an eye if they have to kill someone for their boss, not saying it is normal to behave like an emotionless person and whatnot, it usually requires a lot of trauma or 'brainwashing' to have a person like that and a child shouldn't behave like that.
It is also extremely prevalent in a world like Naruto's where they kill people by the bunch and are brainwashed to litterary be weapons of mass destruction since childhood, though without a skill like Gamer Mind, a 'normal' person from this age cannot survive in there, unless you are extremly lucky, realistically speaking, even with some cheats and training, specially if one were to keep their old memories and habits, it isn't realistic, even if one were to know the plot, the jutsus, etc...
It is unerving not having emotions, true, but when he turned it off, for example in this novel, he did stupid stuff using his old mentality and almost f*cked up. Like he ain't a kid inside and also knows the plot to an extent.
But I never like abnormalities without compromise nor consequences.
100% agree with that one, also both Gamer Mind and Gamer Body were both nerfed compared to the Gamer Comic were this skill comes from. And yeah the system is meant for a 'player' to live as a character from an rpg game, so it does feel like a 3rd person seeing the screen and is not 'normal'.
A quick search had The Gamer's wiki showing Gamer's Mind having 3 effects:
1. Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through.
2. Allows peaceful state of mind.
3. Immunity to mental disorder.
I've never understood what part of that makes people think it turns them into some kind of emotionless, sociopathic monster that would be willing to commit countless atrocities if there were negligible consequences, and it benefited them... calm and logic does not automatically make someone a f*cking robot, peaceful doesn't mean you have no emotions, and depending on how you interpret "mental disorder" Gamer's Mind would invalidate the effects of however the hell you seem to think Gamer's Mind works - a mental alteration that let's them do "scary, disturbing, and messed up" stuff like it was nothing sounds pretty out of the norm - out of order - in disorder to me. They should be immune to that.
@Dr.Smut if you look further into the manga you will notice that unlike [player's body] [player's mind] has very little real effect on his life!! it is said that [player's mind] can block techniques that attack the user's mind. but further on, the leader of the mask cult can affect him! by sheer luck he wasn't alone at the time so he was saved. after that he learned techniques and spells that help to block mental attacks. if we brought it to naruto's world, MC can even resist normal genjutsu or even the genjutsu produced with a three tomoe sharingan, but he can have trouble resisting a tsukuyomi and definitely can't resist a genjutsu from a rinegan! but this is my opinion as already shown despite having similar effects to the original skill [the gamer] and the skill [the gamer] of the MC of this fanfic are different! to be honest, MC's skill looks like a weaker version of [the gamer] original! for example the original [the gamer] dropped items from any enemy that jihan defeats even the weakest zombies dropped things. even if it was the underwear the monster was wearing, but it still falls!! now the skill [the gamer] of the MC only drops things from stronger monsters and even the way to distribute the status is different!
Dude back read the previous chapters, the author already did that, READ PROPERLY.
