BSNW CH 023 Hinoki and Nazuna

The Fox snorted in amusement when Jun fainted. Dismissing the remaining eight beasts, he poked Jun's leg with one of his nail. It skewered through the bones, pulverizing them and bringing Jun screaming back to consciousness. After he has screamed himself hoarse, Jun looked towards the Fox with pain filled eyes.

"Did I give you permission to faint?" Fox "If this is all you could do to entertain me then you shouldn't have come here until you were ready. You may be good enough to defeat other ninjas, but before me you are easy prey."

The Fox removed its nail and Jun sat himself up, biting his lip bloody in order to stay conscious in front of the pain assaulting him. His left leg was useless right now, and he could vaguely sense that his original body had also suffered some damages because of his situation here. He had prepared a counter plan during the fight when he released the rock field, but wasn't able to use it because of subsequent events.

"Alright seems like it's time to wrap it up" Fox

"I agree! We should go now."

As Jun heard the second voice, he felt a wave of chakra turmoil inside him and his vision and the scenery shifted. Last thing he saw was the Fox roaring in annoyance.

As Jun came to, he saw that he was back in the training ground and everyone was awake and crowding around him. He also saw his supposed master, Hinoki crouching near him. As he slowly got up, he felt a sensation welling in his throat and the next moment he spat a mouthful of darkish blood to the side. System sent him a few messages but he ignored them. The children panicked when Jun vomited blood, but Hinoki calmed them down.

"How do you feel?" Hinoki

"Pretty good, considering what I just went through. Although I could really use a hot bath and place to rest and meditate." Jun

"I will take you somewhere better. I will be waiting for you at the entrance." Hinoki said as he disappeared.

Jun then turned to the other children and their inquiries about how he was and his body condition. He replied to them vaguely and distracted them by asking about the result of the competition. It turned out that Sasuke was the fastest among them, No surprises there. Although Ino and Hinata were not far off. Jun rewarded Sasuke with a scroll of Fire Style: Fire Coat. It would be a good match for his Taijutsu skills. After that he informed them that he will changing schedule of their training a bit and that they will be meeting twice a week so that they will have time to practice what they learnt by themselves. They all left in groups after that, Naruto went to drop Hinata while Sasuke went off with Ino and Sakura.

Jun went to meet Hinoki at the entrance who took him to one of the shops located at a secluded spot at the edge of the market area. He told Jun to wait outside a moment and went in. The next moment he came flying out of the shop with a bang, crashing onto the wall at the side of the road. When he was about to get ready for the enemy attack he heard a roar "You perverted Jiji!!"

About half a minute later, a girl with darkish blonde hair and a hastily worn dress came out of the shop. Anger could be seen on her manner which made Jun take a few steps back wisely. She moved towards Hinoki step by step, glaring at the old guy who was pinned in the wall and not even resisting it, as if he was repenting for his sins.

"Now you perverted Jiji, tell me. What did I say I will do if I catch you coming in without knocking when I am changing dress?"

"Umm… hahah… " Hinoki smiled embarrassedly, his voice lacking strength.

"Let me remind you. I said I will kick those old bones of yours out of the house and poke out those perverted eyes so you may never make the same mistake again."

The girl said in a menacing manner as she spread the index and middle finger of her right hand and poked at Hinoki's eyes, earning a squeal from him as if a rabbit was getting trampled on. Jun trembled in fear and winced, backing away a few more steps from the girl. He then observed her while she beat up the poor old guy. Darkish Blonde hair, grayish yellow eyes, Fair skin, 5-6 years old according to her physique and definitely a trained ninja seeing her moves on beaten up Hinoki. After Hinoki, girl turned to Jun "Who are you?" she asked.

"Not related to the perverted old guy over there. Nope, not at all!" Jun

"Nazuna-Chan, he is our guest and also the guy who will be in our care. I told about my Fuuinjutsu student right? That's him." Hinoki

'You damn geezer! What if she buries me into the wall next?' Jun glared with his eyes, seemingly sending the message with the glare silently.

'Why should I be the only one to suffer? Teacher and student should be together in pickle.' Hinoki's eyes seemed to say.

As Nazuna turned towards him, Jun backed off a few steps. She looked at him a few moments before calling out to him.

"Jun right? Jiji told me about you." Nazuna said as she scanned him from top to bottom "So you will be studying Fuuinjutsu from him. That's good actually, despite all his other faults Sealing Arts are something he can be considered really good at. If there is something about his methods you don't understand then talk with me." Nazuna then saw his injuries and took him inside the shop. Giving him basic healing for the injuries due to the Fox, she gave a few medicines for internal injuries.

By that time Hinoki had come inside, Nazuna went in after shooting him a glare. Hinoki sighed but didn't pursue her. He then turned to Jun.

"You will practice Sealing arts extensively now for the next one year. I want to teach you all you can learn about them during that time. Attend school and train with friends just like you did today. Don't stress on advancing, build your foundation first. Because you advanced too fast that fox played with you like that. Grow up at your own pace and focus on things you can control best. Taijutsu, Sealing arts, and healing arts that's what you have to strengthen. Ninjutsu is your forte, therefore use it as less as possible. Also I know you have a natural sage bloodline. Focus on advancing that as much as possible too. One year later, we will go on a journey. In return for my teaching, I need you to complete one task. Is all this fine with you? If not we can go our separate ways." Hinoki

"You are not getting out of teaching me that easily, Master." Jun said with a smile.
