Born As A Sage In Naruto World 14 Bsnw Ch 013 Jun's Injury

"Tenzo!" The Third spoke, his voice trembling with barely suppressed rage, "remind me again, just what was the a.s.signment I gave you while giving you responsibility of Jun Kigen?"

"Watch over him, help him get settled in as trainee of Hokage's personal ANBU corps, suggest him subtly to follow the advice you gave and prevent him from getting into any fight that shows off his ability and puts him in danger and leaks his information." Yamato replied

"Correct. Now please explain how did following that order, resulted in Jun landing in an ICU ward of Leaf Hospital with his hands and forearms having worse than Third degree burns, damages to his back muscles, and second or first degree burns on rest of the exposed skin?"

"I was careless. I shouldn't have let it go that far and defeated him quickly enough." Yamato replied

"Wrong! You are still thinking like a Root operative. Normal civilians and Shin.o.bi are not obliged to follow your orders and commands like mindless tools. Jun challenged you to a spar for precisely that reason as you judged him according to your own narrow view. When you left Root and requested us to take you in, you said you didn't like their methods. Yet now you treated a three year old child the way they treated you, like a tool meant to follow whatever you say. You neither tried to understand him, nor why I gave him that much priority. His Plant Release is just like your Wood Release, a lost art of the warring era. And moreover his is naturally formed. And you go and nearly kill him off due to arrogance because of your ego that was challenged when he asked to spar. This was not meant to happen. Tenzo, you are suspended for three months and imprisoned under the charges of going against your orders and endangering a valuable future shin.o.bi of the village. Inu, you will be in charge of watching over Jun while he recovers full use of his body. You two are dismissed!" Hokage commanded

After they both left, Third Hokage leaned back on his chair, turning towards the final occupant of the room. With a sigh he spoke, "How is Jun now?"

Shikaku, who was the third person, answered with a frown, "if it was someone else, I would have said that they will never gain use of their hands and should retire as a ninja, which would be immense pity considering he hasn't even started yet. However that boy is something else, even though his nerves of his hands are burned, his bloodline is healing it, slowly but surely. Rest of his body should be perfectly fine in one month. But his hands can take 4-6 months depending on how fast his bloodline works, even then it might take him one year to become as good in jutsus as before. Currently before his body is healed, he will have 10% of his previous Combat Capability, since his most of his fighting style depended on his Plant Style mostly. However till then, he can at most be equal to an academy student. Saoyo Ichiji-san, the one in charge of treating him, says that with some specially made bandages that will prevent his injuries from worsening, it will be enough for him to be able to do Taijutsu, and that he should attend the pre-academy like other children of his age. I am also of the same opinion. My son Shikamaru and Inoichi's daughter will be there with him to prevent him from being reckless. Also for his protection you have already a.s.signed someone. So I am of the opinion he should attend cla.s.ses."

Third Hokage thought about it for a while, before tossing a storage scroll to Shikaku. Seeing Shikaku catch it with a questioning expression, The Third explained, "This contains training scrolls for Fuuinjutsu, Iryojutsu and some weapon use Techniques like Shuriken, Kunai, swords etc. and also Taijutsu styles that would be useful since he can't use jutsu for now. I was the one who suggested he go with Tenzo to get all these from ANBU HQ, well it didn't go as I had planned but it's the least I could do. At least he won't be bored, even if his jutsu is sealed, Fuuinjutsu practice will keep him busy enough. Iryojutsu needs lot of information to be learned about human body, this time is perfect for that."

"As you say, I will give him this and tell him what you said." Shikaku sighed, "I usually don't get angry easily, but for that child to suffer like this, not fair."

"I know, just take care of him." Third Hokage told Shikaku as he left.

One week pa.s.sed.

In a private room in Leaf Hospital, a young boy wrapped up in bandages like a mummy finally opened his eyes. As he looked around, he saw a boy with tied up hair, sleeping in a chair in the room , and a beautiful older woman, sleeping by his bed side, her head on his bed. A moment later he caught up with his memories of what happened and called out to her, patting her head.

"Yoshino san?"

"Jun Kun?!" Yoshino woke up in a hurry, and seeing him sitting up, she started checking and brushing him up all over with her hands. After he realized he was ok, her anger and worry burst out,

"Just what were you thinking?! Why did you use such destructive attacks? It was a spar for G.o.d's sake, not a fight to the death. If it was anyone but you who got that injured, they would be dead already…" and hence the guilty (Jun) was berated by the Judge (Yoshino) for a long while. Shikamaru woke up in the middle of it, and intelligently stayed out from getting involved in the middle of it. Shikaku who arrived near the end, followed his son's example and hid in a corner out of sight. When Yoshino finally finished, Jun unwrapped bandages covering the burnt parts of his face , revealing fast recovering pink skin and hair that had been cut short because of the parts that had been burned. All that was unchanged were the eyes, still full of energy. He slowly moved towards Yoshino and hugged her, apologizing for his rash actions. Yoshino hugged him back, crying slightly, while Shikamaru and Shikaku looked at each other and smiled, shrugging their shoulders in unison.

"So, the pre academy school for all ninja kids, including Shikamaru and Ino starts two weeks later, and since I can't currently train in Ninjutsu or such, you would like it if I attend it too? Am I right?" Jun asked Shikaku.

"It's not just me, the Third also suggested the same. Also, he has given you a few gifts, which he promised earlier. Take rest for now, you can worry about the school later." Shikaku said before leaving Jun to rest and recover.

Jun took the storage scroll and deposited it into his inventory. System displayed messages instantly.

Jun confirmed Yes for all the Basic level jutsus, since now that he can't use Ninjutsu for a while, these will be all he can use, so he had to get proficient with them as soon as possible.
