V4 ch 9
Chakra Control
Saori Nara dug her nails into the rock as she pulled her boy upwards, grunting. She clenched her teeth as she felt the rope around her waist get heavier. Attached to the other end of the rope was a thirty pound rock. Her team was working on endurance training for the morning. And as of right now, Saori was struggling to keep her grip on the rock wall. She reached her shaking hand to try and grasp onto a nicely shaped rock that was jutting out of the earth. Come on, Saori! You can do this! It's right there! Just grab it!
Eiyu Hyuga was on Saori's right a few feet above her. He could tell when it was getting difficult for his teammates. They had been climbing the rock wall for some time pushing themselves to get to the top. "Saori, you need to let your body rest. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get there – as long as you do."
Saori clutched onto the rock. Her fingers dug into the soil. The weight at then end of the rope felt as if it had increased. "I know when I'm tired, Eiyu. I'm just as good as you are. I'm not quitting!"
Takeru came up to Saori. "Saori, I think you need to rest, too. You're seating an awfully lot. You're tired. Don't look at me like that. I rested. It's nothing to be ashamed about."
"I dare you to say that with Sasuke sensei around," Saori said as she struggled to lift her body. As she pressed all of her weight onto the jutting rock, her foot lifted trying to grasp onto an indent in the earth. The rock she was pressing on gave way. Saori's eyes went wide as she yelped and began to fall. A kunai came out of nowhere straight at the rope that was around her waist. It severed the rope tied to the rock. The rock fell faster and hit the water below with a loud splash.
Rock Lee, taijutsu extraordinaire, was running towards Saori, up the rock surface. He opened his arms to catch her in a mad dash of speed and wind. He ran straight up the side of the cliff past the waterfall until he made it to the top. He sat Saori down. "Are you alright?"
Saori nodded as she breathed hard. It was a definant scare. Her chakra and stamina were so low that she couldn't form the chakra strings to try and save herself. She turned her head to see Eiyu crawling over the side. He was on all fours panting, still dragging the rock.
As Eiyu rested, he untied the rope around his waist. He fell onto his side breathing hard. "Please, let's not do that again."
"No, we are finished for the training part of today. However, Takeru will be doing it again with two rocks," Lee said as he heard Takeru yell, 'What', from over the side. "You heard me Takeru. You are last. That makes you the weakest in speed and strength out of the team. You will do it again. Saori will also do it again, but only with one rock."
Takeru crawled up until his hands were finally on even ground. He pulled himself all of the way over. The rock that was tied to him was hanging. He grabbed the rope and pulled it the rest of the way. "How come I have to do it again with two rocks," he said as he panted.
"I told you why. You are the slowest and you took your time with the training. Your father requested me to be your trainer, Takeru. All three of you are going to improve in time. It is my job to get you there. The purpose of the endurance training is to get stronger," Lee said as Takeru untied the rock. "If you lack strength and speed, an enemy can and will defeat you."
"He is right," Eiyu said matter-of-factly as he crossed his arms seriously. He was the team leader for Team 9 and it meant it was his job to instruct the other two on missions. Eiyu couldn't have weak team mates. "Glaring at the back of my head does not get you out of your intense training." He turned around to acknowledge Takeru's gaze.
"You're only saying that because you don't have to do it," Takeru said rather lowly.
"I admit nothing. I only have to prove myself to myself," Eiyu said with his nose in the air. He was finished. Takeru wasn't going to get out of it.
Takeru twitched his eye. I wonder if Mr. Hyuga acted like that when he was Eiyu's age. He ughed. Climbing up the side of the waterfall was one thing but having to do it again made his shoulders hurt worse when he thought about it.
Saori looked up at the waterfall. "Well since we're finished with out training, I guess we can go swimming," she said as she started to take her ninja shoes off. It was already mid-day. The heat index was up, too. She looked back at Takeru and Eiyu. Eiyu was pondering the situation. Takeru was moving away from the water. Saori tensed as she heard a loud yell and large splash.
Rock Lee popped his head out of the water. "The water's freezing but it's invigorating!" He went under the water again. Cold water therapy was perfect for a hard morning of training.
"At least he's happy," Eiyu said about Lee as he started to take his shirt off. He draped it over a sapling. He turned his head to see Masaru walking towards the water with his team. "It looks like we weren't the only ones thinking about it."
"So you guys were too hot, also," Masaru asked as he looked at Rock Lee's team. Saori was already knee deep in the water watching a few guppies swim around. He lifted his shirt over his head and hopped on one foot trying to kick his shoe off.
"No, we're just here to take pictures of the scenery for our photography group," Eiyu said to his cousin. Honestly, what kind of question was that? He hated those that stated the obvious. It was a waste of breath.
"Eiyu, get in the water before I push you in," Kiba said to Neji's son. "I think being the leader for your team has made you quite arrogant." He watched Eiyu stand his ground. He's just like Neji.
"No, he was like that before," Takeru said but not in Eiyu's defense. His mind flashed back to when Eiyu and Kandai had first met him. They were only five at the time. Eiyu had watched Takeru quite oddly when he answered that his father was Sasuke Uchiha. It was like Eiyu felt the need to prove that he was better than Takeru because his father was Neji Hyuga. Sad thing was, Takeru didn't believe in competing.
Takeru yelped as he was pounced from behind. He groaned as he looked up into orange eyes and white hair. "Idai, did you have to jump me?" Takeru flopped onto his back. Idai hovered over him smiling at him. It looks like he's gotten better at opening up.
"You two love birds need to get a room," Masaru said as he ran into the water and slid on his side as he turned his body.
"Takeru, do you know when Daiya is coming back," Idai asked a bit sadly. His new best friend had been absent for a month. He wanted to train with Daiya.
"I have no idea," Takeru said as he sat up and Idai moved back. "Mom is keeping an eye on him. Dad won't let him back on the team until he learns to listen."
"Oh, no, what did he do," Idai asked. Daiya was very headstrong. He watched Takeru shake his head.
"Daiya felt the need to train Onari until it got
really late. They were out by themselves until midnight. Mom was more furious than Dad about it. Daiya isn't well and he was over doing it."
Idai hung his head. "At this rate, he won't be allowed to come back for a year. He's extremely stubborn. He doesn't trust your parents fully, either, Takeru."
"I can understand why. He's never had a family before. He has to realize that we're not trying to hurt him. We want him to get better," Takeru said.
Idai pulled his shoes off. He signaled for Takeru to follow him. They both sat on two large rocks as they soaked their legs in the icy water. "Sorry, I didn't' want anyone else to hear. It's not polite to talk about someone behind their back." He looked away and stared at the water. "Daiya acts the way he does to protect himself. Think of him as a small, loud and noisy animal. The reason small animals get loud is to appear equally threatening so that the other animal backs off. It's to keep them safe and from harm."
"So it's a security issue. You could have just said that in the first place." Takeru watched Idai clap his hands.
"But if I had, you wouldn't have pictured Daiya growling and trying to stand his ground with your dad, right?" He laughed as he caught the shock on Takeru's face. "Ah, so you did!"
"Idai, you-"Takeru splashed him with water. Idai fought back. He countered Takeru's water attack by using his sound wave sword to send a hurdle of water at him. Takeru fell off of the rock into the water. He came up coughing and spewing water.
"Takeru, are you okay," Yanagi called to him.
Takeru's teeth started to chatter. He sneezed. "Oh, no," he said groaning.
Kiba threw a stick into the fire. He had made Takeru take off all of his wet clothes so he could get dry. The boy was shivering lightly as he rubbed his arms.
Eiyu walked over to Takeru. The boy was sitting in his wet shorts, long hair dripping water onto the ground. He grabbed his team mate's hair and began to ring it out. Then he forced his shirt over the other boy's head to cover him. Takeru looked up at him. "Team leader responsibility," he said trying to cover it all up.
Kiba stood up. He ruffled Takeru's hair. "Just sit there for a little while." He went off to grab more wood for the fire.
"Fighting against Idai isn't fair. He plays dirty," Masaru said as he glanced at Idai. His team mate didn't even apologize.
"Ninja aren't supposed to fight fair. Life isn't fair. The only reason you think it wasn't fair is because he lost," Idai said with a smirk.
"Idai, where did you hear something so inappropriate? And to repeat it at a time like this is just pure mockery," Masaru said. He watched Idai stick his tongue out at him. Masaru went after him swinging. Idai dodged each punch and swiftly moved back. He was laughing at Masaru's antics.
"Masaru Uzumaki throws a punch to the left. Idai dodges with the speed of a hummingbird. Can the Hokage's son make contact? The sound-nin pushes back with tremendous force as he brings his leg up to kick. Ah, too late folks! Masaru didn't react in time! Can our hero rebound his efforts? Will Team 6 be able to complete their training for the day, or will all hope be lost? Stay tuned after these important messages from Kiba sensei," Idai said as he dodged more of Masaru's punches.
"Shut up, Idai," Masaru yelled as he kept attempting to go after the older boy.
Takeru had to laugh. Idai was amusing. It's no wonder Daiya likes him. He's happy and positive. Daiya needs to be around him. Takeru watched as Idai was tripped by Kiba on purpose. Masaru landed on top of him and was shaking the older boy.
The sunlight lazily made its way into the quiet room. Daiya slept hard with his fist under his chin. It was required for him to take a nap every day now. Daiya wasn't accustomed to obeying the adults he lived with. He fought with Izumi and Sasuke about resting all of the time. To him, it revealed a sign of weakness.
The boy from the lightening country opened his eyes slowly. He rubbed them gently before he yawned. Daiya looked around the room. Takeru and Onari weren't back from training. Normally, when he awake Onari was watching him like a cat. He groaned as he sat up slowly.
Daiya let his feet hit the floor. He stood up. As he did, he felt lightheaded and went back onto the bed. He shook his head trying to get the feeling to disappear. Had he arouse too quickly? He put his hand over his eyes to stop the room from spinning. "Mom," Daiya called in a hoarse voice. There was no answer.
Daiya took a deep breath. He sat up again. As he stood up for a second time, he felt out of sorts. He walked slowly out of the bedroom, his feet softly hitting the wood. The dizziness came over him again. Daiya leaned on the wall in the hallway trying to wait it out. The dizziness soon left.
What is wrong with me? I haven't been over straining myself. I just got up. Ah, man, it feels like it's coming on again. Daiya had to find Izumi or Sasuke. He didn't feel well at all. He started to walk again, but it was becoming more difficult. He was having trouble picking his legs up. They were heavier than normal.
Then Daiya felt it. It was a sudden clench in his chest that caused his body to tense. The clench held him and let go only to repeat itself. His eyes went wide. His body started to sweat as his lungs tried to force air in and out. He shut his eyes tightly as his legs went out from under him. Daiya was having an attack.
He gasped hard as his heart issued its demands to continue pumping despite the rhythm being off. His chest hurt badly. It felt as if someone had his heart in a vice and was teasingly tightening and letting go.
Daiya tried to crawl on the floor. He had to find someone. Soon his body refused to allow his muscles to perform the normal actions he needed to move. He was frozen on the floor, his half-lidded eyes staring into the hall. Time seemed to stop. The world around him was still.
He felt like he was slowly dying. He couldn't move – he couldn't stop it. Daiya had to signal Izumi. He didn't know where she was but he knew she wouldn't leave him alone. She was very bent on his recovery. "Mom," he started to call softly. His voice wasn't loud enough for his own ears. "Mom," Daiya said again a bit louder. His heart clenched a few times, hard. The sharp pain brought tears to his eyes. Daiya forced his voice out in a panicked scream, "Mama!"
Izumi had just wrapped a towel around herself when she heard Daiya scream for her. She was out of the bathroom in a run, searching the two halls for him. Oh, no! She found Daiya in the hall near the kitchen. He must have been looking for her. She turned him over to feel his chest. His lungs were pushing in and out rapidly. "Daiya?" He didn't answer.
Izumi picked him up and held him to her tightly. She didn't know how to help him. Her and Sasuke had been afraid that Daiya would eventually upset the arrhythmia he was now plagued with. It was the real reason for his previous punishment regarding Onari's training.
Daiya didn't move. His body was limp. Izumi stared into his face. An attack was a horrible thing for a thirteen-year-old boy to go through. She lifted the shirt Daiya wore to listen to his heart. It was calming down. She stroked his cheek sadly. "I have to find out how to help you." Izumi shut her eyes. The tears were gently flowing down her pale face. She breathed out of her mouth, her lips kissing his forehead. Izumi opened her eyes as she heard someone enter the house. She turned to see Sasuke watching her with a concerned expression.
Sasuke stood for a moment. He took in what he was seeing. Izumi was in a towel and Daiya was unconscious as he was being held by her. "Izumi, what happened?" He went to her and crouched. He felt for a pulse on the boy. It was weak.
"I think he had an attack. I was in the bathroom and I heard him scream for me. By the time I found him, he was unconscious on the floor," Izumi said as she closed her eyes. She coughed.
"We have to let the medics check him, Izumi. It could be worse than we know now. They will know what will help him if he has another attack." She was looking at him fearfully then looking back down at Daiya.
"I'm supposed to be the one to help him, Sasuke. Daiya called me… Mama when he was screaming," Izumi said as she held him tighter. "We're his parents now. We have to be the ones to fix him."
Sasuke looked at his wife sadly. She had already attached herself to the boy from the lightening country. If things had turned out differently, they would probably have six children running around the Uchiha compound. Izumi loved children and enjoyed being surrounded by them. When Onari had first come to live with them, his wife had taken a lot of her time to make Onari feel like one of the family. If Neji wasn't able to train the girl, Izumi stepped in.
Sasuke brought his hand up to caress his wife's cheek. "We're going to help him. I know you're upset, Izumi, but the only way to gain insight on Daiya's condition is to let a medic check him. I promise I won't let them hurt him or keep him, okay?" He opened his arms. Izumi had to let go of the boy. She slowly released Daiya into his arms. Sasuke lifted Daiya's limp form up. He was sure to not let the boy's head fall back. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
Onari searched the compound for her brother. Kandai had taught her to use a shuriken before she was dismissed by Neji. She was happy that she was finally learning to use ninja tools. "Daiya! Onari use shuriken!" She peeped in on Izumi. Izumi was sitting at the low table with a cup of tea between her clasped hands. "Izumi, where brother Daiya? Onari use shuriken."
Izumi looked up slowly to regard the girl standing in front of her. "Sasuke took Daiya to the medics, Onari. He's very sick," she said choosing words the girl would understand. Onari tilted her head. "Daiya's heart is hurting him." That Onari fathomed.
"Daiya no come back," Onari asked. She wanted her brother home. She was adapting to him and the way he looked out for her. "Onari like brother Daiya. Onari want Daiya," she said as if he was going to come walking around the corner.
"I know, Onari, but we have to be patient. Sasuke is trying to find out what we can do to help him. If we can't find out how to assist him, the attacks will only get worse."
Onari turned her head. She heard Takeru come in. She ran out of the kitchen to meet him. He had just stepped up when she saw him. Takeru looked terrible. He was sniffling and his eyes were half-lidded. Onari tilted her head. "Takeru, Daiya sick. Daiya heart hurt. Takeru sick?"
Takeru felt awful. He had defiantly caught a cold. "Daiya's sick? How is he sick?" Takeru watched as Onari came at him. She picked him up and carried him to his mother. He didn't really mind though. His body ached. "Mom, what's this about Daiya being sick?"
"Takeru, have you caught a cold?" Izumi noticed it right off. "Looks like you're headed for bed." She instructed Onari to put Takeru in bed. Izumi went straight for a rag and medicine. She laid the rag on her son's forehead after she made him swallow some awful medicine she had received from Kurenai.
Takeru coughed and made a nasty face. "What is it with you and Kurenai sensei? Both of you use horrible remedies on me and Ryu." He coughed more. If he could get the taste out of his mouth, he'd get better instantly.
"They work," Izumi said as she sat on the bed. She watched her son scratch his face. "Sasuke has taken Daiya to the hospital. He had an attack this afternoon. It was bad, Takeru. I fear for Daiya. He was unconscious and limp – not able to know what was going on around him. I couldn't wake him. I-," Izumi stopped. Takeru was sitting up watching her alerted.
"Are… these attacks Daiya feels, going to be permanent?" The look on her face told him she didn't know. "Is there any way to help him?" Takeru's voice became urgent," I don't want to lose my brother. I just got one."
Izumi looked at her son. "I don't know what his future holds, Takeru. I can tell that you and Daiya are getting close – that you two accept each other without restraints. All I know is Daiya needs us right now. He has to accept his condition for what it is. And in saying that, we have to be mindful and watch him, but not stop him from living. Can you manage to do that?"
Takeru nodded but with difficulty. The way he felt was nothing compared to how Daiya was feeling. He closed his eyes reflecting what his mother said. Daiya's probably fighting the medics. He doesn't respond well to any adults but Mom and Dad now.
Daiya awoke to a low lit room. He blinked his eyes a little. How was he sitting up? He moved his head a little to look at a face watching him. "Dad…?"
Sasuke furrowed his brows some. The word Daiya had stuck to him strung a cord. "Hi, Daiya. How are you feeling?"
"My heart… hurts," Daiya said weakly. He closed his eyes. He could feel his heart beating softly in his chest, but it ached. "Where… am… I?"
"We're sitting in a room waiting for someone to check you. Your mom and I are worried. We have to know how bad it is and how to help you, Daiya. The medic is going to listen to your heart," Sasuke said as Daiya tensed. "They're not going to hurt you."
As he said it, Ino Akimichi walked in. She was surprised to see Sasuke Uchiha with one of his students. "How'd it going, Sasuke," she asked as she pulled a chair in front of him. The boy sitting on his leg tensed badly. He clung to Sasuke and turned his head to avoid her gaze. She moved the chair back to try and ease his cautiousness.
"Daiya, Ino's not going to harm you. She's an old friend from way back. She's a nurse at the hospital." Sasuke issued Ino to come closer. Ino moved a little closer. "She has to check you. It's not a choice." Daiya was not reacting well to Ino's presence. He was afraid of female adults more than he was of males – and for good reason.
"How about if I show you what I use? Will that be okay?" Ino showed the boy her stethoscope. "This is what I use to let me listen to a heart beat and air flow in the lungs." She held up a tongue suppressor. "I use this to look down the throat and make sure someone's not sick," Ino took out a black pad with a hose and pump attached to it. "This is what we use to make sure the blood going through your body is being sent with a constant normal flow. It goes around your arm like this," she said as she grabbed Sasuke's arm. She lifted his sleeve and put the device on. "Watch. We'll check Sasuke first."
Ino pumped the device until it was good and tight around the man's arm. She started to release it slowly. "Sasuke's blood pressure is 130/95. Hmm, that's a little high for the bottom number. Are you anxious?"
"To find out what's wrong with Daiya, yes," he answered. Daiya blushed a little at the recognition. Sasuke had a right to be worried. It wasn't any different if it was his family, or his team. He had to know what was going on.
Ino went through each of the steps with Sasuke to show Daiya how things were done. The boy was easing up. That is, until she was finished and tried to get him to let her check his throat. Daiya turned his head quickly and tensed back up. "Daiya, I'm not going to hurt you." She looked at Sasuke for insight.
"He's very cautious. I'm not leaving the room, Daiya. I'm right here. Ino has to check you. You're stopping her from helping you. We have no intention of issuing harm against you, or anyone here," Sasuke said. Daiya clung so tightly to his vest that his knuckles were white. The boy was slowly turning around.
"I promise I won't do anything to cause you pain or discomfort. If I do, I'll let Sasuke pull me by my hair and drag me out," Ino said. That got Daiya to open his mouth. She went through checks easily with him after that. As she lowered the ear attachments to the stethoscope she looked at Sasuke. "Are you aware that he has arrhythmia?"
"Yes, that's why we're here. Daiya had an attack this afternoon. He passed out and Izumi couldn't wake him. We need to know how to help him, or if it can be treated," Sasuke said. Daiya was leaning on him, avoiding Ino's gaze again.
"The only thing we can offer for his arrhythmia is medicine. He has to take it every day and needs to rest –regardless of where he is or what he's doing. If he overworks his body, it will put more strain on his heart – that's what causes him to pass out. There isn't a cure for the arrhythmia. But if it gets out of hand, he'll have to come back and we'll have to run more tests on him in order to check for other problems. When he has these 'attacks' what is happening exactly?"
"My heart hurts," Daiya answered softly. "It clenches… and I get a sharp pain in my chest. I can't breathe. I get dizzy. My arms and legs won't move either," he said before he hid his face from the nurse.
"It sounds as if his heart kind of locks itself to try and regain its natural rhythm pattern. I'm not sure if I can help, Sasuke. I've never dealt with anything like this before. He needs a technique performed on him that will stop his heart from locking. Kind of like a massage to calm it," Ino said as she pondered. "I think I have an idea. This reminds me of Hinata and Neji who are able to pinpoint chakra points on the body. They bend blasts of their own chakra against enemies to sever a current flow. What if you could precisely control the chakra flow and manipulate it?"
Sasuke blinked. "You mean like when Naruto learned to do Rasengan by using his chakra to burst the water balloon?" What was Ino thinking? That could kill Daiya.
Ino snapped her fingers. "Exactly! But we can't use that much force. It could seriously injure him. This is all in theory, mind you. Let me talk to Hinata and Neji to see if we can come up with a solution for Daiya. Until then, he'll be taking medication."
"Thanks, Ino," Sasuke said as she arose. She left. He looked down at Daiya. "From now on, you have to take medicine. No more defying me and Izumi. Understand?" Daiya nodded slowly.
"That's really sad," Hinata said as she brought tea for Ino. "I'm trying to think if there's a way to help him without hurting him. Chakra is a powerful energy flow."
Naruto sat with one arm across the table. He was deep in thought. Who would have ever thought Sasuke to be the type to take in these abandoned children? First it was Onari – the girl from the snow village. Sasuke was outraged at how she was treated. He didn't hesitate to take responsibility of her. Now it's the boy Kurenai found on a mission a few years ago. I've been watching Daiya's progress along with Onari's. Onari has adapted better than her new brother. I fear Daiya will take longer because of his past situation. He exasperated.
"Um, Naruto, would you like some tea," Hinata asked her husband. He had a concerned look on his face. She wondered what he was thinking.
"No, thanks. I'm just thinking about these kids that keep popping up who have been abandoned. Daiya Eimino was the first child I allowed to live here that was a foreigner. He wasn't adopted by anyone and no one seemed to concern themselves with him – until he met Sasuke. It was the same with Onari. I let Idai come in because of how he was found. Anko found him half-alive in a forest struggling to get away from the Sound Village. He was officially adopted by Gai so he could have a positive role model. Unlike Daiya, Idai isn't afraid of anyone. He has, up until this point, only responded to Gai with no restrictions. Now that Idai has been accepted on Kiba's team, he has bonded with Daiya, Onari, Ryu, Saori, and Takeru. He's wide open like a fish in water."
"More like a bee, Dad," Masaru said as he walked in. "Idai's rather hyper like a bee." Masaru laughed. "I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. Mom, do you know where Niru's swim suit is? I was gong to take her out to swim."
Hinata arose from her sitting position. "I think it's hanging up. I'll go and check."
Ino turned to Naruto's son. "Masaru, what do you know about Daiya?" She watched as he shuffled his feet.
Masaru scratched at his head. "You mean how he is, or what I know in general?" Masaru didn't like to talk behind Daiya's back. The older boy was aggressive when it came to that sort of thing.
Ino had to think. "Can you tell me what you know about him? We're trying to help him."
Masaru took the swim suit from his mother. "Daiya is very restrictive to who he talks to and who he's around. He doesn't like adults much. I think Idai has told me that Daiya's been hurt by his mother. She used to physically hurt him, I think. Oh, Idai is on my team. We're friends."
Naruto brought his hand up to rest his chin. "So Idai has bonded with Daiya to the point where he confides in the sound-nin. Masaru, who does Daiya and Idai act like?"
"Seriously? I think Daiya reminds me of Uncle Sasuke and Eiyu and Kandai's father. As for Idai, I think he acts like… his dad a bit, but there's something else there. I can't pinpoint it. It's like he's not who he says he is. There's a different glint in his eye when he speaks."
"Masaru, can we go now," Niru asked as she poked her head around the corner. The adults were talking and it wasn't polite to interfere. She looked a lot like her mother.
"I'm coming. Well, see you guys later," Masaru said as he went chasing his sister.
"What are you thinking," Ino said as she sipped the tea.
"Daiya does remind me of Sasuke. That could be why he took him in. they're similar. However, he reminds me more of Gaara. That boy has a lot of power in him – it just hasn't fully awakened."
"Idai kind of sounds like you, Naruto. He's hyper, silly, and has a lot of good qualities. Oh, Gin's infatuated with him. I've caught her watching him from time to time," Ino said. "It's regrettable that she hasn't the nerve to tell him." Ino sighed.
"So how are we going to help Daiya with his heart condition," Hinata asked. They had became rather sidetracked with Naruto's curiosity. "Is it possible to control the force of chakra in a safe sequence to as not hurt the boy?"
"The force of chakra can be adjusted to stop an enemy or kill him. The problem is how to emit just enough to without hurting him. This is reminding me a lot of Rasengan. That kind of force can't be on him, but the technique would kind of be similar. Chakra can be directed in a sequence by the user trying to perform certain techniques. If it's not precise by a person who is adamant in chakra control, it could burst Daiya's heart," Naruto said. His mind was shifting through images of strong ninja that were in the village. His brain stopped on one particular person. It was a water user whose chakra control was one of the highest in the Hidden Leaf Village.
"So who do we recruit for this assignment, Lord Hokage," Ino asked with dignity.
"Send someone to get Izumi Uchiha," Naruto said. He smiled with a plan in mind.
