Chapter 115: The Bet With Tsunade

Chapter 115: The Bet With Tsunade

As Daichi focused his chakra he saw Tsunade bringing her hands over on top of his palms. She held her hands just a few inches above Daichi's and a second later it started glowing green.

Daichi looked at the green chakra and at that moment he received a system notification.

[Unharmful foreign chakra detected.]

Daichi saw the message and came to a conclusion.

'So Tsunade is using her chakra on me? But it doesn't seem to be medical jutsu. Hmm My guess is she's most probably checking my chakra level and control And It seems my body won't reject even ordinary chakras that aren't harmful to me, just like medical ninjutsu chakras.'

Daichi dismissed the blue box and focused on his current task. He kept the chakra flow steady and was in complete control.

Tsunade kept a neutral face as she injected a bit of her chakra into Daichi. Her goal was to understand the boy's chakra levels and his current control over his chakra. At first she kept a neutral face but after a short while her expression changed.

Tsunade frowned and narrowed her eyes. The green glow between her palms got bigger and she looked far more serious than before.

Kensei, Jiraiya and Shizune sensed the change in her. They all kept quiet and didn't say anything to interrupt the medic nin.

Jiraiya crossed his arms and looked at his former teammate. 'Looks like she found something interesting about him. It must be something big I can't remember the last time she looked so focused.'

Shizune held the pet pig Tonton and looked at her mentor. She knew what her master was doing right now but was confused about something. 'It's been over a minute since Lady Tsunade started. She should have an accurate assessment of his chakra volume and control by now. So why isn't she stopping?'

The occupants aside from the Senju patiently waited for her to finish.

After several minutes the green glowing chakra faded and Tsunade took a step back from Daichi. She looked at Daichi with an astonished and bewildered face. She opened her mouth a couple times as if to say something but no words came out.

[Reputation increases with Tsunade Senju.]

Daichi had a guess as to what impressed her about him. 'Looks like all that chakra control training paid off.' Seeing that the test was done, Daichi cut off the chakra flow to his palms and put his hands down.

After a few more seconds Tsunade took a deep breath and regained her poker face. "Your chakra control is adequate. And you have excellent reserves considering your age. And the fact that you can keep a steady flow of chakra for several minutes tells me just how well you're trained. You certainly have the capabilities to become a medic ninja."

Shizune was shocked at that assessment and Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. He knew what his teammate was most proud of was her precise chakra control and medical skills. 'Adequate control..? That's high praise from her. For her to admit that much means this child's control is beyond good Then again he mastered the Rasengan in a week. So I suppose I should have expected this much.'

Daichi's face had a smile as he heard her. 'Yes! Looks like things are gonna be easier than I thought.' Just as this thought ran through his mind Tsunade burst his bubble.

"But that doesn't mean I'll take you on as a student."

"Wait what? Why?" Daichi was sure his control skills had impressed her so he was confused about her refusal.

"Listen brat. I don't have to explain myself to you. Just because sensei said so doesn't mean I'll do it. I'm sure you can find another medic back at the village who'll be more than happy to teach you." Tsunade spoke in a hard tone.

She knew he couldn't go back to the village for the time being. Jiraiya had filled her in on the on-goings of the village and her sensei's secret investigations. She was just saying it to see Daichi's response.

Daichi was not someone who gave up that easily. "But You're the best medic-nin in the world. I could learn far more from you than anyone else."

Tsunade smirked at that. "You do know how to flatter a girl. But sadly that won't work on me Still"

Tsunade paused and looked at the boy and after a few seconds continued. "Considering your above average chakra control skills, I'll give you a chance. If you can complete the next task, I might take you as my student."

Daichi nodded. "Alright. What do I have to do?"

Tsunade smirked and looked at her apprentice. "Shizune, bring it here."

"Yes. Of course!" Shizune left the room and after several seconds quickly came back with a scroll.

Tsunade took the sealed scroll and held it in front of Daichi. She put it down and released the seal. A smoke suddenly appeared and when it cleared, Daichi saw over two dozen books atop the scroll. All of them several inches thick.

"There are 24 books here. These textbooks contain the necessary information a competent medic-nin needs. These were all written by me, for those looking to become more than an ordinary medic ninja. I'll give you two months to learn all the information in these books." Tsunade had a devious smirk on her face as she said this.

[Quest created. - 'Win the bet.']

[Make a bet with Tsunade Senju and win. Study and memorize all 24 books within seven days from now.]

[Conditions.]

Memorize all the books.

Complete the task within seven days or less.

[Rewards. ]

[2500 Exp.]

[Reputation massively increases with Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya, Shizune Kato, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kensei Yasaji.]

[Odds of becoming Tsunade Senju's apprentice increases massively.]

[Completing one half of the conditions required to open the Special stat 'Luck'.]

.

[Failure.]

[Will never become Tsunade's Student. ]

[Reputation decreases with Jiraiya, Tsunade Senju and Shizune Kato, Hiruzen Sarutobi. ]

[Completing one half of the conditions required to open Special stat 'Luck'.]

As Daichi looked through all the details of the quest, the failure part confused him for a moment. 'Even if I fail the quest, I still complete half the conditions needed to open the luck stat?'

Daichi thought about it for a few seconds and he came to a conclusion. He now had an idea as to what was required to open the special stat luck.

'Tsunade has some kind of a strange relationship with luck. When she wins at something, it indicates a terrible omen. And when she loses everything is fine A strange relationship with Luck that's beyond reason or understanding This must be why the system chose her. I think I understand now. To open the Luck stat I need to make two bets with Tsunade. One that I win and one that I lose That's the logical conclusion I can reach from this'

A large grin appeared on Daichi's face. 'I'm going to win this bet. Then I'll have plenty of time to make another one with her where I can lose.'

The two of them quickly reached their home in the capital. Kensei hadn't spoken since Daichi made the bet. He knew his grandson's tenacity and intelligence. He believed Daichi could do the impossible. Still, he couldn't help but be slightly anxious.

"Looks like you have a tough seven days ahead of you" Kensei spoke.

Daichi looked at his grandfather, smirked and shook his head. "No. Not really."

Watching Kensei's confusion, Daichi made a single hand-seal.

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Kensei's eyes widened as he understood Daichi's plan and a wide grin that matched his grandson's appeared on his old face.
