67 [Healing!]
I was at Yugao-nee's place cocking some food for her when Kakashi-san entered the room…
"How are you doing Yugao? Tobi-kun, can I ask you for a favor?"
'Huh! He isn't reading his book… his eye-smile is still there but there is some nervous tension present inside him...'
"I am doing fine Taichou! How are you I heard you encountered some pretty bad luck recently!" Yugao-nee asked Kakashi-san as they started to have a brief conversation about his encounter with Itachi!
"... thankfully Tobi-kun was there for me, but Sasuke-kun encountered Itachi later as well..."
'Did Itachi use Tsukuyomi on him… that's cruel...'
I did a cross seal and gathered chakra...
'Shadow clone Jutsu'
I nod to my shadow clone and turn to Yugao-nee, "Now finish this soup till I get back okay!" Ignoring her pout I turn to Kakashi-san and say, "Where is he?"
'I don't know if I would be able to heal him or not, the only reason I was able to heal Kakashi-san was that I was able to prevent the damage from being severe...'
"Konoha Hospital, here let me!" He placed his hand on my shoulders and guided me to a room inside the Konoha hospital…
'Should have seen that!'
Sakura was sitting beside Sasuke and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, upon noticing me and Kakashi-san entering she looked confused before looking at me with hope… "Can you heal him, Tobi-kun!"
'Who gave you permission to call me -kun… nevermind'
Looking at the situation I decided to not point it out and walked towards the Uchiha heir… He looked paler than usual as I placed my right hand on his forehead!
'Mystical palm technique'
'As I thought, a large part of his nerves are damaged… they are healing but I don't know how much time it will take...'
I started focusing on one of the nerves and carefully tried to fix the damage done to it…
'Dealing with nerve damage is a little bit tricky if I send the wrong amount of healing chakra it could backfire and make that nerve inert...'
I slowly started to heal his nerves bunch by bunch as Sakura and Kakashi-san stood aside…
'This is a lot more difficult than I thought...'
My chakra reserves were almost empty so I sat down on the chair and massaged my forehead…
"Is he okay? Tobi-kun? Did you heal him?" Sakura was just starting to fire up questions when Kakashi-san intervened and blocked her vision by standing in front of her and asked, "How was it Tobi-kun..."
"I can heal him but this type of precise chakra control is taxing on my reserves, I need to rest a little bit before starting again..."
I took some water from a nearby bottle while Kakashi-san said, "I am surprised you are able to treat him, most of the senior medic-nin's said it was beyond their capabilities..."
"Yeah, I wouldn't have a clue at how to heal him if I didn't treat you before, as I was scanning and healing you before, I was able to clearly see how Itachi's Jutsu managed to attack the nervous system, Sasuke's injuries are just about the same, it's just a little taxing to heal nerve damage because I am not at that level yet… I need better control of my chakra..."
I look at Sasuke and take out a soldier pill from my pouch before Kakashi-san stopped me from taking it, "You can rest and heal him tomorrow, Tobi-kun, there is no need to take a soldier pill!"
I shook my head and say, "No! Whatever Itachi showed Sasuke is increasing the nerve damage as time passes, likely he is still experiencing that in his coma! The longer I let him stay like this the worse it will be for his psychological state..."
I pop the soldier pill in my mouth and went back to healing Sasuke, because of the overflowing chakra throughout my body, I had a harder time healing him and I started sweating a lot…
It took another hour of careful healing before Sasuke slowly opened his eyes… I take my hands back and sat back down on my chair as the backlash of the soldier pill hit me and I almost tumbled out of my chair before Kakashi-san steadied me…
Sakura just jumped at Sasuke and hugged him while he still looked a little shocked at what happened…
I looked at my status window and there was a new sign in my interface and every stat had a 50% penalty for an hour and 25% for the day…
'You better not think about going rogue Sasuke or I'll kill you for making me put this much effort into this!'
"Thank you for your help, Tobi-kun" Kakashi-san patted my head and I nodded while standing up slowly…
Kakashi-san's words and my movement drew the attention of Sasuke away from his daydreams as he turned towards me in a daze…
"Did you heal me?" Sasuke asked and I couldn't detect what emotions he was feeling because they were a jumbled mess…
"Yeah what of it!" I turn away from him and started to walk out of the room when his question stopped me, "Why is it always you! How are you this strong!!" There was agony hidden in his expression as he looked at me with Sharingan flaring in his eyes…
"I thought we already had this conversation, Sasuke!" I turn back to face him and looked straight into his eyes, "you are weak because your reasons to get strong are weak, your sensei lasted one look against Itachi, and he is regarded as one of the three prodigies of the leaf… you are a genius Sasuke! But you are wasting your potential! Naruto has almost caught up with you in strength level and you and I were equal in strength when we first started the academy!"
I turned back and started walking away, "You are doing something wrong Sasuke! And if you can't figure that out you won't be able to catch up to him..."
'Shunshin no Jutsu'
'Heh! The last words are mine!'
