Red Nara

Having torn off a couple clones from the other genin, I put them to work on trivial matters, while I set about replenishing chakra, a much more important and dangerous thing.

Because every chakra user does not have the same chakra (except for close relatives, except for that), just as there is no the same state of body or mind, simply put, yin and yang energies mixed into chakra, so the ability to transfer not suitable chakra without harming the receiver has a certain limit.

And only experienced iryo-nins are able to determine it, who also use a certain technique for this purpose, so the process of transmission requires excellent control and constant concentration on the process, especially if the difference in the levels of the giver and receiver are very different. Increase the pressure a bit and the keirakukkei channels simply won't hold.

Of course, Senju's penchant for the yang component of chakra reduces the risks a bit more than if I were to perform a similar operation on Nara, but even so, I didn't risk exceeding more than twice the amount the genin had left.

- Takahashi-kun, you're ready for the finals, so you're going to have to put on a good show for all the dropouts! - I patted the kid on the shoulder once the clones had done their job.

- Thank you, Nara-sensei, I'll definitely try to win the third round of the exam now! - The genin smiled broadly, showing the gaps of a few knocked out teeth.

- Good luck, Takahashi-kun, beat those Sunovans for me, too," said Hyuga, the only conscious genin in Konoha's infirmary.

- Count on me! Sensei fixed me up good, so I won't hold back!

- You're going to be late for your fight," I said with a sneer, 'I'd better hurry up,' I said.

I put my hand on Senju's shoulder and...

- Shunshin!

... we arrived on the balcony just as the blonde was literally hitting the poor Shunshin horizontally with a lightning-fast tanto.

- Ugh! - The brutality of the spectacle made the genin standing next to him squirm a bit, but he managed to keep his face, not to mention a stronger reaction, as happened to some of the spectators who began to clamp their mouths shut.

The kunoichi stepped back a couple of steps, waited for the judge's shout of victory, and tiredly tossed back her disheveled ponytail of hair from her shoulder and walked calmly to the candidates' balcony. Only her rather pale face gave away the fact that she had a hard time too. Still, the genins are genins, so they would not have time to get used to such a sight of scattered insides on the sand.

- Finish your fight as soon as possible, - I advised the guy before he was called downstairs, - if everything works out, then in the finals you will have to fight with an unrested opponent and the chances of victory will be greater.

- I'll try my best," the genin nodded seriously.

- Semifinals second fight, - the referee announced, - Takahashi Senju, Konohagakure no Sato against Tomo Takugi, Sunagakure no Sato! Please welcome the contestants to the arena!

The guy jumped down from the balcony and stopped twenty paces away from his opponent, waiting for the wave to begin. From the outside, his calm stance could be taken as a sign of relaxation, but I could feel his chakra twisting tightly inside his body, accelerating and ready for action.

Obviously, Takahashi took my advice seriously. I could only hope that it would work - his opponent clearly favored ninjutsu, judging by the large battle fan in his hands, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see him in action. I should have sent a clone to observe, but I was too busy with the wounded to do so.

- Hajime!
