26 The Match Continues

The battle between Naruto and Neji was still going on as Reima and his friends speak to Anko. And they must say, the battle between both of them was very intense. Throughout the fight, Neji uses his battle experience to deflect whatever techniques that Naruto throw at him. At some point, he even used Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin) several times to deflect Naruto's clones.

All of them, mostly Izuku, watched the tournament with excitement. He was the most normal in the chat group with no power yet, and seeing such kinds of battles in front of his eyes was something that he did not expect to happen until he got into the 'Chat Group'.

Yajima also looked at the tournament in awe. He had never expected for children to be able to fight like this, back in his world. Although he had read about it in the manga, seeing it reality gave him a different impact he had when he read the manga. And so he praised them, "They're amazing kids."

Reima and Yukihime also enjoyed the fight, tho not as much as Yajima and Izuku. The former duo had their fair share of experience of war. It is mostly so for Reima, who houses 10 Servants inside him with their own battle experiences.

Seeing the group looking at the match with rapt attention, Anko asked, "What do you think about them?"

Reima nodded and answered, "They're strong."

Hearing that, Anko gives a cheeky smile and said, "Our Village's Ninjas are very strong."

As Anko finished her talk, both of the participants hit each other and were thrown away several feets before hitting the ground.

Neji stood up from the ground with a lot of effort, and after seeing that Naruto is still lying down on the ground, he had believed that victory is his as 'fate' deemed it. He was about to ask the referee to announce his victory, when suddenly, Naruto jumped up from the ground and gave Neji a good and hard punch in the chin, sending Neji flying away into the air for a second and then fall down miserably onto the ground. Due to the impact, Neji almost lost consciousness.

Neji just laid on the ground, knowing that he had been defeated and looked at Naruto. He thought, Shadow Clone Jutsu, huh?'

Naruto then came to Neji and said, "What you lose to is my weakest jutsu. I've failed the graduation 3 times, yet I still reach to this place. Destiny can't be changed? Bah! Stop whining something like this because..."

"Your not a sore loser like me."

Referee: "Winner, Uzumaki Naruto!"

The audience were stunned by the outcome, but that goes away as quickly as it came, and they then applause the winner by clapping, an action which our chat members and Anko followed.

"How's that to ya?" Anko asked, looking at Reima for his evaluation.

"Not bad, if I have to say. Though, I'm surprised that Naruto was able to used the Nine-Tails' Chakra without going AWOL," Reima replied, not surprised that Naruto used the power of the Tail Beast.

Anko nodded at Reima's reply, very surprised at the fact that he can use it. Not only that, she also pitied him as he is suffering from discrimination like she once have, and still is, to a small degree.

The winner, Naruto came to the audience seats, where Sakura and Ino were sitting, and then mingled with them, more to Sakura to be in fact. His other friends are also there to congratulate him.

Yajima smiled at their interactions and said, "They'll grow up to be great people in the future."

Anko was stunned by Yajima's words, saying, "Hmm? You mean them?"

Reima added his two-cents, "Indeed, they'll grow up to be great and powerful people in the future. I hope they will not disappoint me. Or my investments will be for naught." While saying his piece, the GIlgamesh within him showed himself for a while. Not the arrogant Archer Gil, but the Tsundere Caster Gil. Even though he acts cold, he still cares for Babylon, did he not?

After he finished talking, he took his sight off Naruto and his friends and focus on the arena on the next match, the battle between Kankurō and Shino Aburame.

As the battle starts, Kankuro immediately uses his puppet to attack Shino and when the attack hit him, Shino busted into a cloud of bugs.

Curious of something, Reima asked Yajima, "Yajima, is there anything like Puppet magic or Insect magic back in your place?"

"Magic?" Anko added, "It's that how you call jutsu's back in your homeland?"

Yajima nodded, and answered, "Indeed, we call them magic, and the way they are used is different from Jutsus and such. As for your question Reima, yes there are Puppet Magic. Not the same one as we are seeing right now. It is more.."

"Vile? If you are talking about Dark Magic, let me say that I absolutely hate it," Yukihime said, with a tone of disgust in it.

All the chat members, bar Tsunade, and Anko went speechless at this. More so for Reima, whose disgust is amplified 9 times, save for Goetia since he is of a dark being.

"Yes, vile," Yajima nodded, "And more sinister if I may add. While the Puppet magic in Konoha can only be used with puppets, said magic in my homeland can not only be used on puppets, but also used on real humans, in many ways possible. I've seen my fair share of it in my entire life, and as a Magic Council member, it was my duty to destroy as much puppet magic as I can. Well, that perspective had never changed for me. As for the Insect magic, I haven't heard about it so I can't say anything about it."

SILENCE

The gazes of Yukihime and Reima got more solemn the more they hear about it. Even Anko was disgusted at it, more than Orochimaru. As for Izuku, he immediately threw out his breakfast while getting terrified of it, and even threw up more when he thought about quirks that can do the same just as Yajima had said.

Seeing, Izuku suddenly threw up, Reima got up from his seat, immediately clean the barf that is on the ground and whoever it hit, which was no one, with his magic, went up to Izuku, propped him up, clean him off the braf on his clothes, and healed him, using medical jutsu.

Reima then said, "You need to harden your thoughts, Izuku. You cannot forever threw up when you hear disgusting things like this, and just get terrified of it. You need to man up, and think of a solution to stop the villains who used disgusting means, all right?"

"A-all right," Izuku replied, still suffering from a mini taruma of his own. At the very least, he is relieved of his nausea.

"Good. See that you don't in the future." With his piece said, Reima returned to his seat.

By the time the barfing and healing had finished, the battle down below has also wrapped up with Kankuro and Shino in a tie.

This was when the gang got interrupted again by the orange-clothed boy, Naruto. He said this, "Ano, I've seen you used medical jutsu. I just want to ask, can you heal my wounds too?"

Seeing Naruto made his request, Reima accepted. Since he just used it to heal Izuku, might as well heal Naruto and a severely injured green-jumpsuit boy that Naruto will bring back not long after. How can he see this? Give credit to 'Shaq Naqba Imuru'.

And so he did the healing for Naruto.
