Kapitel 175: 175. Healing
As Hayate announced the winner. The Hokage nodded at the appearance of the two.
Actually, the Hokage was also quite surprised by Izumi's sword art which was too impressive. He wondered, where did Warrod find such talent. In addition, none of the participants from Kaiyougakure village were eliminated. They were all able to make it to the final round.
Seeing talent like Izumi, the Hokage couldn't wait to see the abilities that other youngsters from Kaiyougakure village would show.
The second match was a battle against a fellow ninja from Konohagakure, Shikamaru vs Misumi. Misumi is a member of Kabuto's team. In the fight, Shikamaru used his composure and ingenuity to catch Misumi off guard. And the match was won by Shikamaru after that.
The third match was also a fellow ninja from Konohagakure, Sasuke vs Yoroi. Sasuke got into a bit of trouble by fighting Yoroi since he could lengthen parts of his body like rubber. However, unlike Luffy, Yoroi used his chakra to do that. In that match, Sasuke used his Sharingan which already had three Tomoe. Sasuke also won even though he almost used up all of his chakras after using the Sharingan.
"The fourth...cough...match...Kuroneko vs...cough...Okamura Hiiro."
Seeing his name listed together with his opponent on the digital board, Kuroneko couldn't believe it.
"What the heck! Why should I get a cheater opponent like him? There's no way I can win against him!"
"What do you mean cheater?"
"Your abilities are like cheaters!"
As Kuroneko said, Hiiro's abilities could indeed be used for various things. If Hiiro had unlimited Mana, one could say, he was almost invincible.
"Just fight, Neko!"
"Yeah. As Luffy said, just give it a try!"
Luffy and Kazuma persuade Kuroneko to try. But with Kuroneko's reluctant expression, it was useless.
"I give up."
In the end, Kuroneko simply gave up without even trying, and Hiiro won by default because Kuroneko was reluctant to fight him.
The next match was a battle between a fellow clan, Neji and Hinata.
Everyone from Konoha was quite surprised, some knew that there was a conflict between the two because one was from a branch family, the other from the main family. Neji came from a branch family. However, his talent even exceeded that of the kids of the main family.
Even though Neji had more talent than the main family, he was still treated like any other from the branch family. It was as if the main family was showing that the branch family had to keep serving the main family despite the talent in the branch family. With that in mind, it was no wonder that conflicts often occurred, and Neji became displeased with the treatment of the main family.
Hinata couldn't do anything because the difference in their abilities was quite big even though they both had the same technique.
It was clear Hinata had sensed that she would lose. Suddenly she heard a shout.
It was from Naruto.
Getting Naruto's support made Hinata determined to fight Neji even more seriously. But helplessly, despite getting support, Neji just mercilessly beat Hinata. He could even kill her if Hayate as the examiner didn't stop him.
"That girl is so pitiful."
Kuroneko felt sorry for Hinata, not only was she ignored by her family for lack of talent, but she was also trampled on by members of the branch family. If Hinata was a noble's daughter, even though she had no talent, there would be no one who would dare to do the kind of thing that Kuroneko saw right now.
Kuroneko glanced at Hiiro and said.
"Hiiro, heal that girl!"
"Pay me!"
Unusually, this time Hiiro agreed despite asking for conditions. Kuroneko pointed her finger at Izumi.
"No money! Ask Miyamura!"
"Just heal her. You know, I always cook for all of you. Do you still want payment from me? And I also find that girl is indeed pitiful."
"Cook meat for me too!" Hearing Izumi mention cooking, Luffy immediately raised his hand and asked for meat.
Izumi grabbed his mouth to prevent him from speaking. But Luffy opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to swallow Izumi's hand.
*slap*
"What the hell are you doing idiot!" Izumi slapped Luffy's head in annoyance. The others also laughed because of what Luffy did.
"Hahaha."
Then, Luffy said with a sulk.
"I want food too!"
"Alright, alright. I'll make you later. The exam isn't over yet."
Hiiro approached Hinata who would be on a stretcher. Hayate who noticed Hiiro's presence said.
"What are you...cough...doing here?"
"Move away."
The Hokage also saw Hiiro who seemed to be approaching where Hinata was going to be carried on a stretcher. He asked Warrod on the side.
"What is that kid doing?"
"Hmmm. Maybe he wants to cure that girl. I myself feel sorry for that girl because she doesn't seem to get good enough treatment from her family. Even one from the branch family dared to almost kill her. If she doesn't get good treatment from her family, how about I just adopt her?"
"Well, let's talk about that later. Healing, huh? Hayate, let him be!"
The Hokage ordered Hayate to let Hiiro go, then Hiiro got closer to Hinata and used his magic to heal Hinata. Even though the healing didn't reopen the chakra points on Hinata's body, at least she was getting better.
Everyone was amazed by Hiiro's abilities. Even the Jōnin-level ninjas were amazed because Hiiro's instant healing ability was probably on par with Tsunade who was said to be the best medical ninja. And considering Hiiro's young appearance, they thought that his talent could surpass Tsunade.
"What did he do just now? He seemed to be writing something like he was going to form a Fuinjutsu."
The Hokage noticed when Hiiro healed Hinata, Hiiro wrote something using his finger. The Hokage didn't know that thing was magic, so he guessed Hiiro made a Fuinjutsu for healing Hinata.
"Well, it's a unique ability of his. Out of all the people in our village, he's the only one who has such a versatile ability." Warrod could only reply with a smile.
"Could you give me any tips for acquiring such talent? It seems that those six kids you brought have unique talents."
Warrod remembered the script from Kuroneko when the Hokage asked about it.
"At first, I was only together with the boy called Hiiro because his parents died when he was young. Then, we met the pirates, they were Luffy, Rori, and Izumi..."
Warrod said that Izumi and Luffy became pirates because they wanted adventure. Hiiro who listened to their adventure became interested, so he joined to become a pirate.
"...and as a result, you can see it now, how many people he had brought."
Hokage looked at everyone from Kaiyougakure village. Starting from Izumi and the others who were taking the Chūnin exam, he also looked at Tabane, Rori, and Momo who were together. When he saw Momo who had horns on her head, the Hokage thought that Momo was ostracized from where she came from. He was impressed by the attitude of the people from Kaiyougakure village who were willing to accommodate that girl even though she had a different appearance from the others.
From there, the Hokage, Hiruzen realized that the one who collected talented people was not Warrod even though Warrod was a Kage from Kaiyougakure village. He looked at Izumi. As far as he knew, he was the leader among the youngsters from Kaiyougakure village.
"I see. I thought it was you who gathered them all."
"Hohoho, my old bones can't handle an adventure with those youngsters."
"Hahaha, I can't handle it either."
— — — —
Naruto, who saw that Hiiro could heal Hinata in an instant, was quite astonished. He said to Hiiro after a moment of astonishment.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me. Thank Kuroneko and Izumi who couldn't bear to see this girl get hurt." With an indifferent expression, he replied to Naruto.
"Kuroneko and Izumi-san? I'll thank them later. But you are the one who healed Hinata, so I must give my thanks to you."
