Chapter 43: Restoration
Fortunately, Haru's response was very fast and he quickly closed Kuroneko's mouth. They also didn't continue their fight since the match between Shikamaru and Tenmari had started.
However, as expected, it was quite lukewarm since Shikamaru had decided to give up and lost the match.
"Well, that's a bit of a let down," Anko said. She thought that the pineapple head kid would be able to win but he decided to give up which somehow disappointed her.
Haru, Kuroneko, and Yajima didn't have a surprised expression on their faces since they knew the result of this battle.
The battle continued and Shino won by default since his opponent was missing.
Then after Shino's match, it was the battle that had been waiting by everyone, it was the battle between Gaara and Sasuke.
Gaara was standing in the arena but Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn, where is he?" Naruto was pissed.
Shikamaru shook his head when he heard Naruto's words.
After Shikamaru returned, he had also asked Haru to heal him since he saw Haru heal Naruto. He could clearly feel that his body was better and he was more energized, though, his lazy personality made it hard for him to show that.
Shikmaru looked at Haru and had to admit that this guy was quite talented Medical Ninja, but then he wasn't sure whether this guy was a ninja or not since he didn't see him wearing a ninja protector or something that could identify him as a ninja.
Shikamaru looked at Haru and wondered who this guy was.
---
Haru was looking at the arena, wondering when the match would start, but then he saw two figures that suddenly appeared on the arena. He could tell that they were both Sasuke and Kakashi.
Haru took a deep breath and knew that he needed to get ready since it was about to start.
"Finally..."
Kuroneko with her usual exaggerated tone, however, she was quite wary and looked around. She seemed quite worried and asked, "Where is Gin-san?"
"He's on the toilet. He must be eating something and hurting his stomach again." Haru let out a long sigh when he thought about Gintoki.
Yajima also smiled helplessly when he thought about Gintoki. "He probably did that."
"How useless...." Kuroneko shook her head while mimicking "yare yare daze" style.
"......."
Yajima and Haru looked at Kuroneko and wanted to say, 'Before you said that you need to look at the mirror first'. However, they didn't say that outloud since they knew that it would lead into a troublesome matter.
While they were waiting for the match between Sasuke and Gaara, Haru noticed Kakashi, Gai, and Lee who were together with Naruto's group. He didn't know what they were talking about, but he could see that they were walking in his direction. They probably knew about Orochimaru's plan, but he didn't understand why they were talking toward him.
Haru could see that Naruto was looking at him with an excited expression, and Lee also seemed very hopeful.
"Haru! Let me introduce you! This is Lee! He's my friend! And this is Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei!" Naruto introduced everyone with a smile.
Haru nodded and said, "Kasugano Haruka. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, young man! I have known you before! You're Tsunade-sama's friend, right?" Gai said while showing his white teeth.
Little did Haru know that everyone in the village thought of Haru as Tsunade's toy boy.
Tsunade was single after all and she wasn't that young anymore, so everyone thought of him as Tsunade's toy boy since everyone could see that Tsunade really protected him from a lot of things so it made them think that he was her lover.
Kakashi nodded and smiled under his mask. In his opinion, Haru was quite pleasing to his eyes, though, he wasn't sure of the reason.
Naruto then realized something and looked at both Haru and Kakashi.
"Are you two siblings?"
With Naruto's simple brain, he thought that it was possible for Kakashi and Haru to be long lost brothers since they had similar silver hair.
Haru and Kakashi looked at Naruto at the same time and thought that Naruto was an idiot.
"W - what's with that look?" Naruto became pissed.
"Why are you here?" Haru directly asked.
"That's right, Haru, can you heal Lee's leg?" Naruto said while pointing his finger at Lee's leg.
Haru looked at Lee's leg and remembered that it was caused by Gaara in the previous exam. He knew that Gaara had broken Lee's leg bone to pieces and the Medical Ninja in the village couldn't heal them since it was just too complicated, expect Tsunade, of course.
In usual practice, the healing jutsu in Naruto world was similar to accelerating the repairing process of the cell, in other words, it made the body heal the wound faster.
However, Lee's bone was broken into pieces and before it was healed, it needed to be connected.
Such a thing was impossible to be done by normal Medical Ninja since it was simply impossible to connect the broken bone that had been broken into pieces, unless that person was Tsunade.
Haru was a bit speechless and said, "You know, with this kind of damage, unless it is Tsunade, then it is impossible to heal it, right? Why don't you ask her?"
Kakashi and Naruto looked at both Lee and Gai at the same time. After all, they knew that Tsunade was in the village, and they were wondering why they didn't ask her.
"There's an operation that will be held in a week," Lee said with a smile.
"Eh? Really?" Naruto was surprised since Lee didn't tell him.
Gai nodded and said, "Yeah, Lee will have his operation in a week but since Naruto said that you have great talent in Medical Jutsu, we're trying our luck here."
Haru nodded and said, "Hmm, I can heal it actually."
"Eh? Really?"
Everyone was a bit surprised.
Haru nodded and directly opened his mouth.
"Yes, but can you share your exercise method? I'm really interested in martial arts."
Gai nodded and said, "Sure, I don't mind, I like someone who loves martial arts, youth!!" He gave him a thumbs up and as long as it was for his disciple, he would do anything.
"Alright, let me heal your leg."
Haru moved his hand closer to Lee's leg and used his light magic to heal it.
"Restoration."
Lee suddenly felt a warm sensation on his broken leg and at the same time, it felt quite itchy.
"Hold it, don't scratch your leg." Haru quickly reminded Lee.
Lee nodded with serious expression, trying to hold the itchy feeling on his leg.
Everyone looked at this miracle with curiosity, however, this act didn't cause a lot of attention since the majority of people in this area were attracted to the battle between Sasuke and Gaara.
Then after a while, Haru wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Done.
"........"
"Eh? So fast!!"
Everyone was startled.
However, Lee tried to move his leg and tried to use it to kick it around.
"WOW!!!!"
Lee felt that his leg had been restored and he didn't feel that helpless feeling again.
Naruto was happy for his friend, however, Gai and Kakashi were amazed by Haru's Medical Jutsu.
Anko, who had been sitting next to Haru, looked at this young man with amazement.
Haru also felt quite good that he was successful.
His healing magic was similar to restoring or reverting some objects or organisms to a previous state. In other words, it was similar to time manipulation rather than Medical Jutsu of Naruto's world which was accelerating the cell progress.
This ability was quite powerful, but it had a lot of limitations, and that was, Haru couldn't cure illnesses (as victims are not considered damaged), retrieve things erased by something, or restore life to a dead organism.
Beside that, as long as someone didn't die yet and they didn't have a chronic disease, Haru could pretty much restore them back to their healthy state.
