25 BSNW CH 023 Hinoki and Nazuna (1/2)
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.
