Hopefully by then we'll have at least started on unfucking that part.

Here's hoping.

Thanks for listening. And being sensible.

Any time.

Oh, I talked to Naruto. He's fine experimenting with medications now. When's a good time for him to come find you?

I've taken to having one of me in #812 at all times playing violin or otherwise doing things it's no trouble to drop, although I suppose it's possible Naruto would by default arrive at the minute in the middle of the night when the recreation is dispersed to the rest of me and the clone's replaced.

I'll tell him whenever during the day, then.

When Naruto arrives at #812, Cam is indeed there, playing violin.

Naruto knocks politely and does not barge in! This is the main body though and he even dismissed all of his clones for experimenting which means he's running a bit high on the extra chakra.

The door opens (it's chiplocked, so Cam sets down the violin only after Naruto's stepped in and he's had a chance to complete the phrase). "Morning!"

"Morning! You're really good at that music thing!"

"Thank you, I've spent a century and a half without nearly as much to do as I like so I picked up some things! Sasuke says you wanna try stuff?"

"Huh, yeah, I get really bored even with just being fifteen..."

"And yeah I wanna try stuff. It'd be nice being able to focus on one thing?"

"Cool. I wanna give you a fifteen-minute diagnostic test thing I found - it's noninvasive and the sort of thing some people though probably not you do for fun - and while you're doing that I'm going to make and check up on various samples of your biochem to hazard a guess at dosing. Here, wear this stupid-looking hat and these gloves!" He materializes a VR helmet and gloves. "Goggly part goes where goggles go, and it's gonna show you a three-dimensional movie thingy and give instructions through the headphones and it'll track what you're looking at and how you move - I don't know if it makes any sense to tell you to move like a normal person and not a ninja, if it gives me totally bizarre results I'll just find an older less fancy diagnostic I guess. Do you get seasick?"

"Oh cool!"

He puts on helmet and gloves. 

"I don't get seasick!"

"Good! If you start getting seasick anyway, lemme know, I can give you a thing for that."

The VR places him in a jungle and the first thing it wants is for him to find red berries, and point at any birds like this one bird if he hears or sees one. Various distractions appear in the landscape, mostly critters.

His eyes move around extremely quickly! He's definitely processing information in general faster than an unenhanced human, but his actual attention patterns are pretty in line with someone with ADHD who isn't currently hyper-focusing. 

Cam tests biochemical markers. He and the VR test (which switches what it wants Naruto to find periodically) finish at about the same time.

"Your chemical whatnot all looks suspiciously normal," Cam says, "which might mean I have silently failed to conjure some magical element that will make a difference, or that your metabolism is weird on a non-chemical level like mine is, or who knows. I'm gonna try you right at the top end of the normal test dose guidelines for this stuff - the brand name is Fovarine if you care - and if that doesn't do anything, I can bump it up and have an antagonist ready to go if you don't get along with that much. If it does anything but you don't care for it there's lots of options in the pharmacological space, I'm picking this one specifically because it's easy to fix if you wind up taking too much trying to make anything happen and we'd wanna be more careful with anything else."

"Alright! Do I need to do anything?"

"Depends, do you want me to just stick a dose of Fovarine in your circulatory system or would you prefer to swallow a pill?"

"Direct dose sounds faster? How'll I know if it's working?"

"You in the middle of a book at the moment?"

"I got a scroll Pervy Sage gave me, yeah."

Cam hands him a copy. "Five, four, three, two, one. Might take a couple minutes even like so."

He'll settle in to try to read. The initial effect hits fast, and is pretty mild... And then wears off after five minutes.

But it worked!!! Kind of.
