the hidden lotus (naruto Isekaid fanfic)

"I really want to heal you Seiza, but I can't consume my chakra since I am still going to fight soon" yumiko said to a bruised Seiza.

Unfortunately, Seiza was put against an Iwa ninja, who was really good with his earth jutsus. really

without having much choice, Seiza used his fang over fang clan technique

it was difficult to beat him, and Seiza was almost sandwiched by his opponent earth jutsu

luckly, he was able to find a blind spot and attacked him while the Iwa ninja was distracted with sasamaru.

Seiza looked at yumiko with surprise "you can use iryō-no-jutsu? since when?"

yumiko smirked and instead of answering she just looked straight at the on going match

Seiza looked at her for few more seconds intrigued then sighed, he was too tired to investigate, maybe he will ask her later

so instead he took out a soldier pill from his ninja pouch and swallow it

'that will be enough for me to regain my wasted chakra and strength' Seiza thought bitterly

after all, his opponent was no joke, he really did a number on him

thankfully the soldier pill he just swallowed was from his clan, and his father warned him to not overuse them.

The match that was seconds ago was finally over, and the next one included one of their teammate.

yumiko glance at Natsuki who was looking seriously at her name on the board

she looked at yumiko after sensing her stare, then nodded at them before walking off

'seems like I was the only one lucky to be put against a sand ninja.

sadly Natsuki will be against a cloud ninja...

without doubt he will use his lighting jutsus to keep his distance from her in order to not fight her directly with taijutsu'

yumiko sighed 'still there is a chance, he can be arrogant enough to fall for it...

If only you were not obsessed with your clan techniques Natsuki...' yumiko thought bitterly

truth to be told, yumiko adviced Natsuki to not focus entirely on her taijutsu but got shut off immediately

yumiko think that Natsuki will not surpass a Tokubetsu jōnin, although it was shallow of her, but still

after all, she isn't a prodigy like neji nor a main family branch like Hinata.

she doesn't even know the eight trigrams palm rotation.

focusing back on the fight, yumiko tried to see Natsuki opponent.

yumiko can guess that he was strong.

because unlike konoha, kumo couraged the yong ninja to gain strength instead of making them join some shady organization

'I really hate Danzo' yumiko cursed in her mind 'if it wasn't for my natural sensing skills I wouldn't felt watched'

she discovered recently that she was being watched, still she doesn't know who or why

and she don't think they were ANBU, since they have other things to do other than spying on some mere genin.

that made her slightly uncomfortable but still trained and ignored it, acting like she didn't know.

it wasn't like they were spying on her every day, she just sometimes felt a chakra near her.

yumiko shook her negative thoughts away. assuming things will lead her to nothing either way

and right now she is distracted with the chunin exams

"begin, Now!" Natsuki took her fighting stance after activating her Byakugan

'Byakugan!'

the audience were amazed at the display of the Dojutsu.

the ninja ahead of Natsuki quickly retreated away while making hand signs.

without wasting time Natsuki run towards him at a fast speed

that's exactly what the lighting user wanted, as he put both hands on the ground after kneading chakra in his body and converting it

'Lightning release: spider web jutsu!'

a surge of electricity was released on the ground in the form of a web

with how much Natsuki was close, she didn't have choice but to jump

looking at the ground, she realized that the scale of the jutsu was bigger and soon she will fall on it

so, she quickly released chakra in her legs pathways, increasing her distance from the ground and the jutsu

she sticked in the walls of the arena, a safe distance between her and the kumo ninja who tsked in annoyance

it was well known that the hyuga members can release chakra from all their chakra pathways, unlike ordinary ninjas.

not wanting to waste anymore chakra, the cloud ninja stopped his failed jutsu.

Natsuki throwed a handful kunais at the ninja, some of them with paper bomb who blowed up before reaching to their target intentionally

using the opening, she decreased the distance between them, but the ninja quickly retreated again

'its useless...' yumiko thought 'he will keep increasing the distance between them every time she close it'

instead of going ahead and attacking again, Natsuki rised her right hand in the air announcing her retreat

"I give up" she said with a stoic face and calm tone

the cloud ninja grinned at his easy win.

'Hayate-sensei asked me to give up before the match begin, he was right, I am no match for him' Natsuki thought seriously.

the audience was shocked at her sudden retreat, what caused them to complain in annoyance at the lack of action.

'the chunin exams isn't about power only, it shows how capable a genin is to become a leader and making decisions is one of them.

I might lost the fight, but there is still hope for me to be nominated into a chunin'

Seiza was shocked at her decision, but after remembering the cloud ninja power he concluded the same thing as yumiko and Natsuki

'lightning will be a great addition to my list of skills

maybe if I keep bothering kakashi he will teach me' yumiko thought happily after watching the display of lighting jutsu
