Chapter 9: ch 9
It had been a few minutes since the nurse started to heal him. After she signaled that they are allowed to enter she said.
" i healed him enough for his body to recover a bit after that his body can only heal by its self but my question is What happened? For him to get hurt this badly" asked the nurse.
"He fought a hard fight against a talented student, but he made sure to give him a good beating" Answered himeko sensei feeling proud of loket forshowing a strong will.
"Well because of his previous injuries and the examination I did he dosent have any major injuries but he will need A lot of rest for him to recover" said the nurse.
"Is he going to be alright though?" Asked liam concerned for his friend.
"I already did everything I can. I healed the major parts of his body and I gave him a injection of a very powerful painkiller to make him feel better" said the nurse.
"So he dosent have to go to the hospital?" Asked Allison.
"Oh no he'll still be going to hospital for thorough check, he might not have a major injury tha I know og but it is always good to make sure to check multiple times." Said the nurse.
"It's all my fault if I didn't lose or I didn't make feel responsible for what to me, this would never have happened to him" said Helena do
Distressed by what happened to loket.
"This wasn't foe your sake or any ones. He has always been like this, for how long I've known him he has never liked to lose. Even if he seems he's okay with losing he isn't, for all the times he has lost, not winning once maybe made him hope that he might have a chance winning against someone whose strong." Said liam.
Liam looked at his friend. He saw the Bruce's and swellness on his face. Liam knew loket since the day of the nine tails attack the day that he saved him and his mum. While liams father was helping the third hokage push the nine tails back his mother and him were left alone.
Liam and his mother where heading towards a evactiom cente but while running through the fiery broken House one of the pillar of the house fell on liams mother. He of ofcource mustered every ounce of his strength that his little body could allow him. Even with the adrenaline, he couldn't move the pillar by even a inch. Liam cried as did his mother.
His mother know that she won't make it so she had to make sure her son could survive. She screamed at Liam to leave her behind but liam cried out not letting go of his mothers hand.
They both saw the pillar get caught on fire liam lost all hope. He was about to do what his mother said to do run. But than loket came running towards them, without a second thought he tried to lift the pillar but even he couldn't do anything. Loket screamed at Liam before the whole pillar catches on fire but hopeless liam didn't know what to do.
Loket saw the hopelessness in liams face he know that he has already given up. Loket saw that beneath liams mum was dirt. He thought that if he can dig some space for her. She will be able to get out.
Loket ran infront of liams mum and dug with his bear hands. Liam stared at the small boy desperately trying to dig a pit for his mother. Liam didn't understand whay abandon boy would go out of his way to safe his mother.
Liam screamed at loket asking why is he doing all this. Loket didn't stop digging and only said one thing" because you screamed for help".
Liam looked at loket shocked by what he said. Liam never thought that anyone would come to help, he thought that he will have to let his mother go and run away.
Liams eyes brightened with hope and resolve. He ran towards loket and helped him to dig. Liams mother persisted that it was hopeless and to just leave her behind.
While righteously digging both loket and Liam saw that his mother was lose but they saw the pillar sinking in with her. Loket pushed upwards mustering every strength he had to keep the pillar from falling back on her. Loket screamed for liam to quickly get her out.
Liam gripped both of his mothers hand and pulled her out of the small pit. When she was out loket let go of the pillar while jumping away to not get caught in the impact when the pillar fell.
Liam grapped his mother and hugged her tightly while crying as so his mother did. Loket saw the relief that both mother and son had on their faces.
Liams mums legs were crushed by pillar so Loket and Liam grapped her on both of their shoulders and ran towards the evaction centre.
from that day on they became best friends. Liam stared at lokets face knowing that he will be someone great in the shinobi world.
"Himeko sensei when is it time for me to fight" said Allison with anger and resolve.
"You don't have to participate of you dont want to,I can call of the tournament" said himeko.
"No I won't let my friends effort go to waste" said Allison.
"Me either" said liam
"Me too" said azerth
Himeko stared at his student knowing full well that he couldn't convince her to call of the fight. "Alright follow me, all of you" siad himko.
"But who will look stay beside loket?" Questioned azerth.
"I will stay bt his side" Answered Helena.
They all nodded and left with himeko sensei. Helena sat on the comfy chair next to lokets bed and stared at him.
"You can rest in your bed if you want, ill watch him before he is sent to the hospital" said the nurse.
Helena looked at the nurse and said" no, I think when he wakes up he will need A friend".
Allison and the others came on to the field with cherrs from the audience.
"What's going on? Why are they cheering for us?" Asked liam.
Himeko looked around and saw the hokage stood up tilting his hat towards himeko showing his respect to him as a teacher. Himeko was surprised but at the same time he understood that loket will and strength made them respect and accept him.
"Because they saw the amazing fight that loket performed winning their hearts" himeko Answered liam.
Kuro looked towards himeko and saw that he was getting the respect from he hoakge. Kuro felt jealous and furious he was suppose to get the respect from the hokage for teaching a strong student like Kenny.
Himeko and kuro went towards the eachother to pick out of the hat to know who will be fighting next.
Himeko came forward towards the audience and said " the best fight will be Allison yamanaka vs hallie uchiha".
Allison stared into hallie's eyes with pure anger.
"Get her for us" said liam. Allison only nodded at liams request.
Both of the girls steps into the circles.while approaching each other. Himeko stepped on the right hand side to explain the rules but one's he asked them do the seal of confrontation hallie refused to do it.
"I don't have time to deal with you. You ever do it or I will end the fight here" said himeko coldly.
Kuro sensei approchred himeko saying" just let it be".
Himeko looked at him coldly and said" I let it off once and one of my students got hurt, if you keep protecting them and not letting them do the traditional seal. I will end this whole tournament and no one will be able to go"
Kuro gulped at himekos cold eyes with fear. "Come on, hallie do it or I'll keep you back for the whole semester for detention" said kuro.
Hallie with defeat made the seal confrontation with allison. Himeko nodded at both of them and said" the battle will start now."
As himeko said that he and kuro instantly got out the circle and both of the girls separated.
Allison stood there without any guard up waiting for hallie to make the first move. Hallie saw this as a taunt but she did want to beat Allison's beatiful face wich was irritating her.
Hllie sprinted towards Allison, when she arrived near her she throw a right straight punch straight towards Allison. But Allison doged it effortlessly. Hallie dropped down to swip Allison's legs but again Allison jumped up but this time she kicked hallie in the face with her right leg.
The force of the kick dragged her back. Hallie stackedly got up she touched her nose which was bleeding. Hallie understood at that moment that she was weaker than Allison I'm taijutsu.
Hallie with wasting any time focused her chakra to launch her genjutsu at allison. As hallie entered Allison's chakra to disturb towards her brain to make her see horrible scenes that happened to her.
Hallie saw that Allison wasn't moving which indicated that the genjtsu worked. Hallie approached Allison to end the fight.
"Is this all you got, you really are just as weak ad those other two. You and your friends are pathetic" said hallie arrogantly.
Hallie brought her right hand up to knock Allison out but something unexpected happened Allison caught her fist. Hallie looked at Allison with eyes wide open.
"What! The hell" screamed hallie in confusion.
Allison launched a right upper cut towards hallie's chin making her drop on the floor. Hallie on the floor looked confused and shocked as to why her genjutsu Demonic Illusion : Vision of Hell which she herself improved and made it more powerful to make it a C rank jutsu.
Allison stared at hallies confused face and said" you didn't that I was sensor and the best one in the village to be born with it"
Hallie thought' of cource it makes sense only a sensor who has sensitive chakra can detect any disturbing in their chakra'.
I thought that it will be harder to dispel a genjutsu or is it because your level if genjutsu dosent work on me. I didn't even have to try to dispel the genjutsu, you kept calling my.friemds weak but you are the weakest one here" said Allison coldly.
Hallie charged at allison angrly" you'll pay for what you said ahhhhh!"
Allison grapped her head and knee her in the head knocking her out.
Himeko stopped the fight. He checked on hallie noticing she was knocked out. He than anouncent" the winner is Allison yamanaka!" The audience screamed in excitement and happiness.
Kuro quickly took hallie back to their class where she awoke screaming in anger.
"Because we have already spent too much time, we will quickly go to the next match." Anouncent himeko.
Allison made her back to liam and azerth where they all Highfived in happiness.
"The next fight will be. Liam sarutobi vs Kenny bringing." Said himeko.
Liam looked at azerth confusingly.
"What?" Asked azerth
"Well I thought he will have the same last name as you?"asked liam.
"No I kept my clans name while Kenny took on my adopted father's name. Anyway is this what your thinking about right now? you should be worried about your fight" said azeth.
"Don't worry will I saw him fighting I know what his weakness is" said liam confidently.
"Liam get here right now!"said himeko coldly.
"alright ill see you guys in a few minutes" said liam.
"Try to not be too confident, when you do you always make mistakes" said Allison.
"Don't worry this will be easy, look how injured he is compared him. I'll make sure that lokets effort wasn't for waste" said liam
Liam run towards the circle coming in on kennys face. Himeko stood on the right side and said" Do the seal of confrontation and Kenny if you refuse you will be out"
Kenny without argument performed the seal of confrontation.
"Okay, begin" said himeko.
Without wasting any time they both went at eachother. Liam punched in his stomach,chest,throat and than his face all in a split second. Ofcource Kenny jumped back to understand what happened. As Kenny felt the pain which was hurt all over his body he understood that this will be difficult.
Kenny launched at Liam with amazing speed to deliver a flying kick but liam doged it by gripping kennys leg. Kenny yelled out in pain " ahhhh!".
As Kenny dropped to the floor Liam who was in front of him said" it looks like that bite that loket gave you is deeper than you thought. You can't beat me give up"
Kenny looked at him and jumped on his on foot delivering a spinning back foot to liam pushing him back. They both rushed at eachother both blocking and countering their attack.
Liam attacked with a right upper cut landing it but Kenny quickly retaliated with a punch to the gut. Liam feeling the blow made Jim stagger back.
Kenny nor wasting any time closed in trying to end it but liam kick at keenys right leg as he was running making him collapse. Kenny was hit where loket has bitten him which left a deep small wound.
As liam was about to end it himeko sensei jumped in front of liam stopping his attack.
"The match is over, Kenny was unable to continue. The winner is liam" said himeko.
The crowd screamed in applause and cheers for liam. Liam jogged back to azerth and Allison who congratulations him. Kenny who was in anger stomped towards his classmates.
As the grade five students have three winners there is no longer ant necessary to continue the tournament. The winners are the grade five students, they will go to the hidden sand villages academy to represent us" said himeko.
The students of grade five jumped in joy and excitement. The grade seven students slumped onto the floor looking sad and jealous of the grade five students.
"This is what I'm talking about. Once loket wakes up.ww can tell him the great news" said liam.
"We should go tell Helena first" said Allison
Allison and the boys were leaving to go tell the great news to Helena but azerth stopped and told liam and allison" I'm sorry that I wasn't able to fight. Even if I didn't get picked I was glad that I didn't have to fight my older brother"
Allison looked at him and said" we wouldn't have let you anyway. Family shouldn't be fighting we know that you didn't want to fight him and we don't blame you he is your brother there is no reason for you to explain"
"She's right brother we know how hard you've been trying to hide that you don't want yo fight your brother and we understand that but just try not to keep it all to yourself it make it seem that we are forcing you" said liam
Azerth felt that his friends would be angry with him if he said that he didn't want to fight his brother bur he forgot that these friends are different they can understand and feel his pain.
"Sorry I won't try yo keep all to myself" said azerth
"If you understand then let's go tell helena that we won" said Allison.
They all left to meet Helena in the nurses office. As they arrived they saw Helena sitting and reading a book while she was sitting on a chair. Helena looked up and saw the others standing infont of the door. She smiled at them and placed her book on the small table next to her and walked up to them.
"Let me guess you guys won"said Helena.
"What we were suppose to tell you that, how did you know already?"Asked liam with a perplexed look.
"Well maybe it was the cheers of ' the five grade won!' What gave it away." Said Helena.
Azerth looked at lokets bed and saw that he was missing." Where did loket go? " asked azerth.
"Now that you mentioned were is he , is he walking around while his injured?" asked allison with a angry tone.
"No, but he-" before Helena could finish she looked down while tears fell down.
"What happened to him?" Asked liam concerned.
Helena wiped her tears away and looked at them and said" I don't know, i was sitting beside his bed and the next thing he opened his eyes like he was shocked and scared and the next thing he screamed in pain crying out like he lost something precious. He cried and screamed in pain until the nurse put him to sleep with a injection. The nurse quickly took him to the hospital saying that I should stay here."
All three of them looked scared and concerned as to what happened to loket. "Why would he cry and scream in pain, did the nurse maybe missed something when checking him" said azerth.
"We can only find out if go and check."
"I'm coming too" said Helena.
"Aren't you still hurt?" Asked Allison.
"No I'm alright, I recovered a bit so I should be able to move about" Answered Helena.
They all were about to leave through the door but himeko sensei stood infront of the door blocking them." I dont think that youll be going to meet with loket" said himeko coldly.
Azerth stared at him and said" he is our friend we are only concerned about him"
"So you would ditch in middle of when the hokage was going to congratulated you" said himeko coldly.
"What does that matter right now, we won anyways. We just want to check on our friend" said liam
"If you leave right now you will be staying back with loket doing five hours taijutsu training, are you really prepared to be punished" said himeko coldly
They all looked at eachother and said in sync" YES".
Himeko looked at his student coldly staring into each and one of their eyes they all were scared of himeko but they strengthen their will and stared right back at himeko.
Himeko than gave unexpected warm smile and said" you guys are good friends. Alot of shinobi forget that friends are what is the most powerful and special thing anyone could have"
Himeko stepped aside and let them through.all of them looked at himeko and said "himeko sensei thank you, you are the best sensei".
