"Ladies and gentlemen, the next match is going to be the final of the Chunin exams. The match will be postponed for two hours so that everyone can take a break. You can do whatever you want until then. See you all back here in two hours." Isamu announced before walking off the arena grounds.
In the participant's booth;
"What are you planning to do in the break, Naruto?" Mabui asked as Yugito entered the booth.
"I am planning to check on my teammate and have something to eat. What about you all?" Naruto replied back looking at the three Kumo genin teammates.
"We are going to eat too. I don't know about them, but I am starving." Yugito said as she looked at Naruto, then at her teammates.
"Let's go eat, but first, let's go see if Bee-sensei would be able to come with us," Mabui said
"Cool", "Let's go," replied Samui and Yugito before the Kumo genin, along with Naruto, left the booth.
"See you at the match time, Naruto," Yugito said as Naruto split away from them, going towards the infirmary. Naruto replied with a smirk before leaving.
"Are you sure you can win against Naruto, Yugito?" Samui asked as the three started to walk towards the Kage booth.
"After what we saw from him till now, I think it will be quite difficult. I may need to tap into Nibi's power." Yugito replied, surprising her two teammates.
"Don't you think that is too much to be used?" Mabui asked with a bit of worry.
"No need to worry, I will use it as a last resort. And if I use it, I will use a small amount of it so that I don't lose control." Yugito replied with a reassuring smile.
In the infirmary;
Naruto entered the infirmary only to find it empty, with only his clones attending to a still-sleeping Anko. One was changing her now-empty IV drip with a new one.
"Hey there, prime." The sitting clone said as he spotted Naruto enter.
"Where are the others?" Naruto asked with a bit of confusion in his voice. There should be two injured Kiri genin along with the infirmary staff.
"They have left for Kumo's main hospital along with the two Kiri genin. Their situation isn't good, especially the one you fought, Prime." The sitting clone said
"You did a number on that Masaru guy, Prime. The doctor and the nurses couldn't stop his bleeding." The Clone, who was changing the IV, said as he finished hanging it.
"Really? I didn't cut him that deep. I held back a lot of power. The Katana's strike full power would have split him in two." Naruto said as he sat down on a couch nearby.
"We saw the wound clearly, Prime. While you are right that the wound isn't deep, it is still too big. If I am correct, the wound is at least 40 centimeters long (about 16 inches)," One of the clones said.
"While Kumo's Shinobi power is impressive. The quality and level of their medical corps leave a lot to be desired. They are struggling with the injuries of the two genin, even though they weren't as bad as Anko's." Said the other clone.
"You don't have to tell me. Even though Masaru's wound seems bad, it is still one wound. I think I let him go easily. The number of wounds and poison on Anko's body was excessive for a public Chunin exam match." Naruto said.
"Leaving that aside, I need you two to go back to the inn and make some food, make a good amount of beef curry and rice, and get some dango sticks. And also, I need you to get some grilled salmon along with a mix of berries and vegetables for Anko; she will need it when she wakes up to recover from her injuries." Naruto said, to which the clones nodded before leaving the infirmary.
As the clones left, Naruto stood up and made a quick check on Anko's condition. She is doing very well, her body is healing nicely with no complications.
"Now I have two hours to kill. What can I do?" Naruto muttered to himself as he sat beside Anko on a chair nearby. He doesn't have anything to do aside from waiting for his clones and for Anko to wake up.
'Why not read that novel that you picked up from your father's study?' Kurumi said
'Oh yes, that is something good to kill time. I wonder what type of book my father read?' Naruto replied. He unsealed a small book from his belt and looked at it.
'I did read the title before when I picked up this book. The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi. Still, a bit weird for a title.' Naruto thought as he flipped open the cover
'written by' "Jiraiya!?" Naruto exclaimed with his eyebrows tightening
"What type of book would Ero-sennin write? But it seems my dad did read it, so I think it wouldn't be so bad." Naruto muttered as he went to the first page.
An hour and a half later;
"We are back, Prime." One of the clones said as both entered the infirmary.
Hearing them enter, Naruto put down his novel before taking two storage scrolls from the clones.
"Good job, you two are dismissed," Naruto said, making the two clones nod before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
After that, Naruto opened the scroll that contained his food. With a puff of smoke, two huge pots of Beef curry and rice appeared on the nearby table. If Anyone saw the amount of food, they would be astonished, especially that it is all for one person. But it is regular for Naruto as his metabolism and need for food are way higher than a regular shinobi.
After unsealing a plate and eating utensils, Naruto filled the plate with food before sitting back on his chair near Anko. As he took his first bite of food, he hummed with slight enjoyment. It seems like his cooking skills improve every time he cooks.
As he continued to enjoy his food whole reading his book, a groan escaped his current patient, indicating she was waking up.
to be continued.
