'Hinata-dono! Hinata-dono please open up the door! Please!' A loud knock broke the silence of one late evening and I nodded to Naoya he could answer the door as I followed slowly behind him. When he opened it a small boy around eight I'm assuming by his chakra fell in the door way at Naoya's feet.
"Hinata-chan what's the meaning of the knocking?" I look back at Yodo and I send out a wave of chakra to see everyone. Yuki and Kira are still sleeping, Naoya is confused, Yodo is plain tired and the boy is shaking in a startling amount of fear.
"Hinata-dono please help my father! He's dieing and no one in the capital have the ability to do anything but you can!"
"Me? If the medic Nins in mist can't do anything then why do you-"
"Because you're my last hope! Please, everyone's given up hope. I need to believe in something or I'll end up like everyone else!"
"I see, what's wrong with him then?"
"He's a Nin; he went to fight some rogue Nin and they did something to him and nobody can fix it." I sigh as I shake my head grabbing my coat.
"Well that's descriptive isn't it? I'll have to get you to lead me to him little one so I can examine him myself." I take the boys hand and wave to others not to break the house while I'm gone.
The boy's pulling at my hand recklessly as he's tripping over weeds through what I'm assuming is pitch black. I pull him back and swing him on my back while breaking into a jog using all my senses so I don't trip or run into anything.
'How can you see where you're going in the dark?"
Ichuckle at the boys' innocent question.
"I'm blind little one, night or day it doesn't matter as there is always darkness for me ne?"
"Eh?
Then should you be running like this? We could hit some thing!"
"I
assure you I might not be able to like everyone else but I have my
ways so don't worry, we'll be back in the village in a half an
hour k?"
"I'll trust you." I smile into the night but he mumbles his next words before he falls asleep. 'It's the only thing I can do.'
When I get to the hospital I search the signatures and I find many irregulars in the hospital which send off warning bells in my head.
"Wake up little one; I need you to tell me which room your father is in."
He wakes up and rubs his before he points to the elevator and mumbles a room number before he goes to sleep.
I find the room with ease and as I enter the room is filled with heavy chakra filled people.
"Tsuji-kun!" I let the woman take the boy off my back as they gather around to hug him.
"Thank you so much! He left seven hours ago and we didn't know where he went or anything!" Seven hours? The boy most have searched along time to find me then?
"Well I think he was searching for me then, lucky he found my house."
They looked at me then at my eyes and sense their confusion before it clicks into one of the old woman in the corner.
"I see, after Tsuji heard some of us talking about you he went to find you himself, brave boy."
"Hai, since he went through all that troubles do you mind if I take a look at his father?'
"My dear girl him and many in this hospital and all over are dying and no ones knows why, if you think you can help my son Tsuji senior then I welcome you to try." I smile and nod as the room clears and I begin my work.
"Ka-san who is that?"
"My dear that is Hinata, she's a doctor from a small village that helps poor out. They say she can do things other doctors can't so let's pray then hmm?"
The door closes and I focus my chakra into the man's body and examine him thoroughly. I take the dry easer marker and start writing notes about him on the bored next to what little the mist Nins have found. When I note all the irregularities I take a seat beside the man and look over my notes trying to figure this out. A while later and countless explanations but I can't turn away from the truth. Some one created a jutsu that has hyuuga properties but they didn't know what they were doing and instead of shutting down chakra they've caused it to become so erratic that it's destroying itself and its user. A Shiver of fear runs through me at the prospect of some one being able to experiment on one of my family in order to find out such information. I hear a drip on the floor and I bend down to investigate but I find it's my own blood. I was digging my nails into my palm I broke skin and didn't realize it. I sighed and healed my hand before I focused on the man before me.
I used my chakra and created a seal on the mans chest that drained chakra out of him, I stopped it before it killed him and checked it once more. I found the intruding chakra from the jutsu had been absorbed as well. The man would be very weak for awhile but he would recover fine. I sat back down in my chair and stared at the board that held my notes for kami knows how long.
I heard birds singing moments before the door opened and I heard small hesitant foot steps approach me and the man.
"Gomen ne for dragging you here but I thought that you could help him." I tilt my head at he boy before I remember I forgot to tell anyone that the man would be fine.
"Ah gomen Tsuji-kun I got so caught up with my mind I forgot to tell you I healed your father."
I felt his chakra spike and his heart beat quicken before he jumps and hugs my crying.
"Thank you! I knew you could do it!" Everyone came in expecting the worse but when they saw I'm assuming the boys happy face they called the doctor in to really check the man before they celebrated.
I was still staring at the bored when the doctor came in, his chakra was heavy with exhaustion and depression but as he continued to check the man over it become much lighter.
"I don't believe it! He's weak but he'll be ok!' They cheered and I winced as it hurt my ears so I left walking down the hallway.
'Wait! Please wait! I need to talk to you!" I stop and as I wait for the doctor to catch up to me.
"You're the blind doctor I've been hearing about and you just healed that man right?' I nod as the man starts dragging me somewhere down some corridors and into a room.
"Minna, this is the blind doctor and she knows how to heal the dying Nin!'
I heard voices of disbelief but I felt their heavy chakra lighten with hope.
"Ah, it's not that hard, I'll show if you like." The followed at I'm dragged to another room. I send out my chakra waves and find this woman to be much like the man but the intruding chakra is from a different person which greatly worries me.
I create my seal slowly and give them instructions as they check the woman over as they find her weak but cured. They drag me to another room and I watch as they each cure a victim before I'm dragged back out of the building and into the Kage tower and into his office.
'I've heard a lot about the blind doctor but I had no idea you were this talented." I sit across from him and move a piece on the Shoji board as I do. He moves his piece as I make another move as we continue to play as we talk.
"More important is whose doing it, Left longer those Nin would have died very painfully."
"Hinata-san
this has been happening all over the land for about a month and many
nin have fallen to it, I ask you to write out your instructions so I
can have them messenger out to the other lands as fast as
possible."
"Your
hiding something from me but your chakra isn't, there's more
you're not telling me Mizukage-sama."
"How can I trust you?"
"I'm not a Nin for any country, I'm just a doctor but I do come up with good advice once in a while."
"These attacks have only been happening in certain countries."
His words made sense to me but the meaning didn't set well.
"Let me guess, heavy in Kohona, Suna and light in the others except where there is none like lighting and Iwa?"
"Hai, but I don't think I want to know how you guessed. This is the beginning of something terrible Hinata-san and I fear Mist will get dragged into it."
"I see, you have a very heavy burden. Mist has been through civil wars, poverty and black crops that rake the land, people are turning rogue everyday. Less and less loyal till there is no one you could trust as everyone becomes a liability. All in all you wouldn't be a very good ally in a war ne?"
'you make us sound like we're some weak country, we are strong and we are becoming stronger everyday."
"Hai but I was telling the truth to a degree while sounding very convincing wasn't I?"
"Hai, but that doesn't help me. I'll just tell both sides that Mist is weak and unable so they'll just not even bother-"
He
started laugh as he catches onto my drift as I go to make the last
moves on the board.
"Say
yes to their proposal of alliance but make it look like I'm
admitting a horrible shame, if they're as focused on beating the
other side they'll cut any alliance with me as so not to have any
weak links thus enabling mist to stay neutral."
I smile as I make my last move completely shocking him that he just lost when he thought he was winning.
"You know if you ever need another job I'll more then welcome as a political advisor. Just when the enemy is at its highest you find a way to take its legs." I smile at him as I take a scroll and start writing down the seal and procedures while the Mizukage sets up the board swearing a rematch. When I'm done he takes the pen and writes something on the bottom.
"Discovery made by the H. Blind Doctor, here have this copied and sent out right away!"
"H. Blind doctor?" I take the third game easily as I did the others as I sense him shake is head.
'Hai, you should have the credit and you have been nicknamed the blind doctor here."
