Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'll be fine." he told her, opening his eyes halfway. He wouldn't show it but using his Mangekyo as much as he has had made him go half blind. It was annoying, but he'd be fine.

Shijura nodded before following Rhea outside. Closing the door behind her, she climbed onto Rhea's back and left the area. Coming back into the village, she looked around. "Now where would the Hokage be at a time like this?" She mumbled sniffing the air for his scent.

Shijura looked around, before seeing him in sight. "Hokage!" She yelled, Rhea trotting over to where he was walking.

When Chi was done with the hospital, she couldn't help but feel happier. It felt like her world of internal pain was finally gone. Yes, it felt strange, but it was a big relief not having to worry about dying from her illness. She just had to be sure to keep up with the medicine, as she would need a few injections every so often until she's completely cured. It's all thanks to Vale that I have another chance to live. No matter what he says, I'm going to repay him however I can... With that thought in mind, Chi started walking towards the custody building that Vale was supposed to be in. However, when she got closer, she noticed the door was open slightly. With a huff, Chi headed into the house and shut the door behind her, crossing her arms at the small group of Leaf nin, her eyes locking onto the Hyuuga. "Just what do you guys think you're doing?" she asked rather calmly.

Chi raised an eyebrow at the Jonin and Genin, only to lock onto the Hyuuga once again. "And you know what? I'm going to tell you that it's a lie. Right now, there is a certain case being conducted by the Hokage and some of the top shinobi of the Leaf, and it involves the Uchihas. I'm part of that investigation and I'm going to prove that the Uchihas aren't like that, and I'll redeem the name from infamy." Then she narrowed her eyes at the Hyuuga in a hostile glare, paying no mind to the two nin's in her way just yet. "Plus, you don't want to piss me off. Let him go and get back to your duties. If you lay one punch on him, I swear that I'll kick your a** into the hospital and make sure you're there for a good month at least. And that goes for any of you," Chi snarled, glaring at the Jonin and Genin now as well.

Chi immediately let out a growl and shoved the Jonin to the side, firing her Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets at the same time. That was only with her left hand. "I'm not just a girl. I'm an official kunoichi of the Leaf, b*****d!" With her right hand, she pulled out her spine for the Dance of the Clematis: Vine and aimed the jagged bone whip at the Hyuuga's middle in attempts to either trap him, or for the hell of it, pierce or slash up his body as well.

Chi ignored as one of the Jonin took off, keeping her eyes on the Hyuuga with the bone whip in hand.[ "Dance of the Larch." As soon as she spoke, the bone whip disintegrated to dust. Then more bones grew outwards from her body, curved a bit over her limbs and body. It was the best way to block the Hyuuga's attacks since the bones protected nearly all of her vital points. She took a step or two forward before stopping, just so she was separating the Hyuuga from Vale. "In this form... You can't touch me, Hyuuga... I'm not like Kimimaro where I could just suddenly die in a fight. I've been cured. I'm going to live. I'm going to kick your a**. I'm going to protect the person who I owe my life to for helping me get the cure in the first place..."

Chi blinked twice at the ANBU, but kept her composure and returned the nod to the ANBU Captain. Once the others were gone, the bones retracted back into Chi's body without leaving a mark. D**n. And I really wanted to fight that Hyuuga, looking down on me for being a girl- her thoughts cut off when Vale collapsed. Chi was by his side in a flash, sitting him up slightly but supporting his shoulders. "H-hey! Vale? Are you alright?" she asked quickly, looking over him for any injuries. She did know some medical ninjutsu after all.
