Chapter-48 : Plot

*BoooMmm!!!*

Hiro heard a large explosion coming from a mile away as he looked in the direction, standing still as he let the plot take its course.

What had happened? Well, The Chunin exams were going on good, for the most part.

But as Hiro had expected, the Rebel forces of Suna that were against Gaara's succession as the Kazekage had acted up causing a massive disturbance to the relatively peaceful examinations that were going on.

Currently, Gaara was fighting with a group of elite Jonin level ninjas.

Normally, to a Kage level like him, defeating a few elite Jonins like this would not be difficult.

But where the things had started taking bad turn was that the rebel forces actually had someone that knew how to counter his Jinchuriki seal and extract Shukaku from his body, weakening him in the procedure, rendering him to a level where facing even 5 elite Jonins seemed like a mammoth task for him.

Unlike seals used on Other Jinchuriki's, Gaara's seal was special.

It was comparatively a lot less powerful than the other seals but where it won over others was its connection.

The seal was placed on Gaara when he was still in his mother's womb, well before his chakra circuits even solidified in his body.

Since the seal was so weak, a lot of Shukaku's chakra seeped out of it, forcing Gaara's chakra pathways and tenketsu's to be forcibly expand beyond the limits of his age and body.

Although such alteration caused him to be influenced by Shukaku and his chakra too much, his plot armor came in clutch and saved him from any kind of permanent effect.

That was also the reason why he was able to grow his chakra to the levels of Kage's while barely getting out of his teen years. 

But since the seal was so weak in the first place, it was easy to be able to manipulate it if one knew exactly how it had been implemented. 

And that was is happening now, the monk guy with the banjo looking thing was able to use something similar to the Uzumaki sealing chains to pull Shukaku out from the seal inside Gaara itself. 

Even though the process was slow and could be Interrupted easily, it did have a great effect at suppressing Jinchuriki's. In Gaara's case, it used his own vitality to open the seal and extract Shukaku from it.

That is why Gaara was being overwhelmed right now.

But Hiro wasn't worried about Gaara right now, his major concern was ensuring that all of this doesn't get disturbed by Akatsuki as that would cause a major shitstorm to be stirred up.

Butterfly effects could be a bitch, he didn't want to take any chances, especially when he had already had a major encounter with one of their members not too long ago.

Despite the artificial storm that was still going up causing a lot of noise in his sensing, Hiro kept up good as he kept himself absolutely ready with each piece of his gear on him.

Although he could go away and probably destroy the cause of the sandstorm and be back in less than half an hour, he considered it wise to not leave the fight going in front of him unattended and rather use it for his advantage.

Because anyways, Hiro was sure that the storm wouldn't last long, especially when a certain guy in green spandex was out to finish it himself.

The fight in front of him continued as Gaara was able to incapacitate 3 of the attacking elite Jonins while getting even weaker as Fuu too joined in the fight.

Causing the balance to shift towards Gaara for a bit before the sealing chains attacked her too.

Since her seals weren't any better than Gaara's, she was also affected by the technique, and since her stamina was nowhere as strong as Gaara, she was immediately reduced to Chunin level in her stats, causing her to be overwhelmed too.

But the opponent side wasn't better either, the elite Jonin's were already pretty much crushed up by Gaara's sand, had almost depleted their reserves and were about to kick the bucket.

Hiro believed they were on some kind of drug as they weren't showing any signs of stopping despite limbs and flesh being thrown around.

"Looks like it's about to end" Hiro said, looking at Neji make his entry into the equation. 

Once against turning the tides towards the Jinchuriki's as he used his Gentle fist Taijutsu to obliterate the enemies into afterlife.

'Sometimes even I forget how easy it is for a Taijutsu master to disarm someone' Hiro thought, and he wasn't thinking about 'Disarm' as in taking their weapons, he thought of the word as it's literal meaning.

A Taijutsu master could easily uproot a tree using just his body strength, not to mention when the strength gets boosted by chakra , he could easily pull out someone's arms, cause as long as they get ahold of your body, tearing your limbs out becomes as easy as tearing paper.

That is why you either need to be someone with an exceptionally strong body or have an incredible defensive Jutsu to be able to counter a Taijutsu master.

Although Neji was nowhere near being a master, the strength and skill displayed by him was still commendable, and against the enemies that were already weakened up, he was able to tear them apart without much difficulty. 

"....And thats it" Hiro said as he took a breath of relief as he saw Neji sealing the Tenketsu's of the monk ripoff with off brand banjo as both Gaara and Fuu returned to their original strength levels.

Hiro, who already had his speech ready, swooped in at the correct moment as he looked towards Neji and said "Well done"

"Looks like nothing bad happened, here, take these, you'll be able to recover much faster" Hiro said as he passed on some Rejuvenation pills to each one of them.

Gaara looked at it for a good second before before keeping it aside as the other two took them instantly.

"Wow....This is really cool..." Fuu said, back to her bubbly self as she felt the effects of the pill kick in.

Gaara looked at it scrutinizing whether to trust Hiro or not, but seeing that there was no immediate danger, he decided against it, keeping it into his seal storage to test it later.

"Thanks sensei" Neji said as he sat down and started recovering his chakra.

"So what happ...." Hiro was going to 'ask', but before he could finish it he suddenly yelled "Duck!!!" As he tackled Fuu and got a hold of her tightly. 

And not even a second later, a huge pressure shockwave came their way, blasting everything in its way at the sandstorm itself was kicked up by it
