Finally, the fight ended, thanks to Shadow and Baki covering one of his eyes on one side, he didn't see the attack coming, I can only say that I was lucky, fighting a Jonin could have been really hard, but the situation today helped me out.
After dispelling the toads and sending the dogs into my shadow, I came to Hayate, he wasn't doing good by the look of it, blood spilling all over his body and he had lost too much blood by now.
If I wasn't low on chakra then I would long have created a shadow clone to send him to Hospital.
Extending my hands I concentrated, white aura emerged in my hands, this was me channelling the reverse curse technique of Round Deer, I would love to use this myself but I don't have that level of control over my curse technique right now.
In fact, both healing jutsu and Reverse Curse techniques demand one thing from the user, excellent control. That is why many can't use this technique, I just can't help but wonder how Itadori learns this later in the series.
Anyway, I do plan to learn the reverse curse technique just in case someday I don't have access to round deer anymore, I don't plan to use the deer in a fight so that I lose it anytime soon but still I don't wanna be depended on him.
Just as I thought, I was able to stop the bleeding and even heal the wounds which happened on the skin, but internal injuries, that I can't heal… mainly because my reverse curse technique is not that strong and I lack information about human anatomy.
Internally making note that I will be learning about Medical Jutsu once I get time, I finally stopped, I couldn't help Hayate more than this, once that was done, I somehow grabbed him and shun shin out of there, my destination, of course, was the Konoha Hospital.

"So you are saying you found them fighting…" Hiruzen Sarutobi soon came to the Hospital seeing one of his Shinobi was injured and hospitalized while he was in Konoha.
This was a big deal, this kind of thing happens a lot if outside the village, however, if this is happening in the village then a very concerning thing.
He directly went to meet Hayate, only to find that he was out for good right now, he had to wait to get any information from Hayate.
For the time being he can only talk with the person who brings Hayate to the Hospital.
"Yes, Hokage Sama," I replied, I currently was in the Hokage office, apparently the old man doesn't like to talk officially outside his office, maybe the reason being that he just wanted to keep the info away from the prying ears.
'This of course further delays me, I can only hope Aunty and Uncle both go easy on me once I am done here… sigh.'
"What happened to Baki then ?" Hokage asked with a serious face, he looked like he took my word on Baki attacking Hayate on the first chance, which kind of made me wonder whether he already knew that something was up when it came to Orochimaru and the Sand village.
"I have him right here," I reply while taking out a scroll to show him. This finally brought some emotion to his face, his eyes widened ever so slightly, he in fact was looking impressed at this.
"Did you do it ?"
"Hmm that would be a stretch, it was one of my Ninja dogs, I can only say that I was lucky," I reply with a little blush on my face, I was not lying here, he really was only able to beat him because of my Shikigami.
Still, Hokage was looking impressed, though he himself had seen his fair share of fights and knew that luck and environment play a big role in Ninja fights, he himself had killed Jonin when he was only Chunin.
And it was clear that Shika in front of him was Chunin level.
After a little pause, he finally spoke, "What do you think about the team you were in ?" He asked, making me think that he might really know what was going on. And if that is the case then how?
Does this have anything to do with the, don't tell me that me exposing Yoroi identity all that time ago led the Hokage to investigate him and people around him, aka Kabuto and Mitsugi?
That surely would be scary.
Not pondering too much, I simply answer. " They are okay, if you are asking me about their skills then Mitsugi is not that strong, while Kabuto is definitely stronger than what he shows," I replied.
"I see,… do you know that Kabuto after the preliminary attack Sasuke while he was in the Hospital, recovering ?" Hokage said, making me finally understand why he was acting like that.
I didn't reply anything immediately… had to act like this was news to me.
"No, I wasn't aware…"
"I see, well Shika I believe that Kabuto is a spy and so is Mitsugi…" Hokage replied to which I just nodded, now wondering why he was telling me this.
Seeing me only nodding and one responding he continued.
"Shika, I have a job for you… consider it a S rank mission…" Hokage said, making me lose my composure.
"S Rank ?"

"Promoted to Chunin Huh ?"
I can't help but curse internally. It's nice to be promoted yes, but this promotion came with a ridiculous task.
Hokage definitely knew something, in secret promoted me. I am now a Chunin, but there is a catch, I still have to participate in the Chunin exam.
In fact, that was the S-rank mission he was talking about.

[Flash Back]
"Yes, in fact, this mission is only something you can do…" Hokage said to my surprise.
I didn't say anything, for the time being just let him talk.
"You are fighting with Gaara right…" He asked with a little smile on his face, and I didn't like this already.
"Yes…"
"If I remember currently you are learning Fuinjutsu recently…" He asked again to which I nodded, now things are getting a little clearer to me.
"Good good,… let me ask you something Shika Kun… Do you know what a Jinchuriki is…"
Yup, knew this mission is not that simple. Damn old man.

In short, he wanted me to use sealing jutsu to stop Gaara from unleashing the one Tail inside the village.
What the fuck that suppose to be, I hardly have started learning Sealing arts, I don't have what it takes to do that… to which his response was to leave it to him.
Apparently, someone will soon come to teach me sealing arts…
Someone huh? That was maybe the only interesting info I heard from that old man's mouth, after all, who else would that someone be besides the pervert himself?
Learning under him is actually not that bad, I don't even want him to teach me flashy jutsu, if only I could learn Fuinjutsu under him, that would be more than enough…
But back at the real problem at hand, let's say I learned from Jiraiya, that beating someone like Gaara would still be hard.
I never planned to fight him and beat him honestly, I was bunking on the cannon events to repeat itself up to now.
However, when it comes to fighting Gaara for real, I'm not sure whether I could do it.
With my current skill set, I can't do it for sure, even Lee wasn't able to. If I resort to using my Shikigami then maybe I can…
However, that is not gonna be a normal fight. I have to seal his Biju Chakra so that he can't release the one tail. Something similar to the 5 elemental seals which Orochimaru used on Naruto.
It's gonna be hard…
Sigh It's just my luck.
Why was that old man giving me this kind of mission in the first place, I barely am a Chunin right now.
Sigh…
I need a powerful jutsu under my command before the finals. In this one month, I not only have to learn significant things about seals but also have to perfect that one technique.
Truly… Grind never ends.

The next day I woke up early, I had to go meet my new Fuinjutsu Teacher. He told me that I would find him in hot springs…
There was no reason to ask him why. I was just wondering whether I will study with Naruto this month.
Before going to the destination, I went to the hospital. To find the man I saved yesterday.
"Hello, Hayate San. How are you doing? Everything fine I believe." Enter the door and ask.
The man was looking sickly as ever and beside him was sitting a beautiful woman with purple hair. I can't remember her name, namely because her role in the story was near next to nothing. I remember her only because she seems to be Hayate's girlfriend.
I just nodded at the woman sitting beside her and turned back to Hayate. "Is your wound all healed ?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Cough cough…" At this the man coughs a little, slowly sitting up straight he smiles at me and replies.
"All because of you Nara san. Thank you for saving my life yesterday. You not only helped but also did great service to the village." Hayate said, making me wonder whether the man had finally talked with Hokage.
"Just call me Shika. I am glad you are all healed up. I just came to check on you. Please don't mind me, I am sure that I am disturbing your quality time…" I smile, though the tone is surely teasing, and wave my hands before leaving the room.
I also notice the little hint of red on that woman's face, it is good to tease others.
Though the reason why I came here was not achieved, yup I didn't just come here to waste my time on nothing. I wanted to talk with Gekko a little, more like a warm-up to him to the point that he willingly taught me his sword's skill.
Currently, in Konoha, there are not many swordsmen, due to Zabuza's skills I have good skills but that's my only source of learning swordsmanship right now, that is the reason why I wanted to train with him a little. But seeing that girl was there, I knew that I couldn't talk with him right now. So just leave it for the time being.
A part of the reason why I decided to save Hayate was also related to this. Though I genuinely wanted to save him.

Coming to the hot springs, I saw Naruto training with Ebisu, it was water-walking, I just dont get it why do they have to do it here in the hot springs?
Whatever, I just have to wait for Jiraiya here.
And why I am at it, let's practice my ace… I water all need this jutsu to fight against Gaara.

Should I give him another Curse Technique?
I was wondering whether I should or not.
