Purgatory................Nah Just The Hospital

John Woke in the Hospital, His Fight with Neji Had Been Tough, His Stamina and Chakra were Very Low at the Moment. He Tried Moving, and received a Sharp Pain in his Entire Body. He Laid There For about a Minute When Itachi Entered. "Good Your Up, The Clan Will Be Pleased to Know." Says Itachi. "Why Do I Feel Different? My Body Feels Slightly Different, What Did They Do?" John Asks. "Father Gave the Order, He Ordered Shisui's Sharingan Be Transplanted into You, He wanted you to Have The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan." Say's Itachi. "But Why?" John Asks, Slightly Taken Aback. "By Ousting Danzo, We May have Started A War." Says Itachi as He Takes A Seat beside The Bed. "I Think I Can Guess Who is The Most Prominent in Warmongering." Says John. "Yea Kumo and Iwa Are Threatening War, Both Want Danzo as A Peace Offering But We've Already Taken His Head. We're At A Loss on How to Proceed." Says Itachi. "And Lord Kazekage is Backing Us?" Asks John. "Yeah, He Knows that if Konoha Goes To War with Iwa and Kumo, Temari's Safety would Be Threatened. Plus We Still Have Two Jinchuriki As Opposed to Kumo's Two and Iwa's One. And Suna Has Two Jinchuriki Themselves so We Can Outdo the Two Militant Nations." Say's Itachi. "What About the Chunin Exams? What'd I Miss?" Says John, Hoping to Clear the Conversation Someplace Else.

Itachi Leans Back in His Seat and Looks Up At The Room's Ceiling for Two Long Minutes Before Speaking. "Well, Most of Your Friends Made it Through. I Know That Sakura and Ino Were Squared off against Two Kiri-Nin, But That Ino Won Her Match, While Sakura Drawed with her Opponent. At The Moment Your Friend Shino is Set to Face Kankuro in Three Hours. Kiba Just Faced Off With Gaara and Lost, and Shikamaru Faced Temari Before That, but Forfeited When He Was Unable to continue due to Low Chakra." Says Itachi. "What about the Others? Sasuke? Hinata? Choji? And Lee?" Says John. "Sasuke Faced off Against One of Your New Foundation Girls and Lost, I Think it Was Mikura, The One Who Beat Tenten. Hinata Had Faced Off With Choji and Won. But Lee was Faced off With The Other One, Akira, He Lost when She Outperformed his Taijutsu." Says Itachi. "Hmm, Curious, I Might Just Need to Devote Some Extra Resources Elsewhere." Says John as He Adjusts himself to a Different Position.

Soon Fugaku Enters and Is Followed By Kakashi and The Retired Lord Fourth Hokage. "Father, Kakashi-Sensei, Lord Fourth." Says Itachi as He Bows His Head to the Four Great Shinobi. "How Do You Like Your New Eyes John? Everything Clear and Crystal?" Asks Kakashi. "May Take Some Getting Used to, But Otherwise it's Not much Different From Before. Why?" John Asks. "While We Know of Shisui's Abilities, Yours Are Not So Clearly Known. Itachi Told us, About Shisui and How You Awakened your Mangekyo, and With Kumo and Iwa Breathing Down our Necks, I Wanted you Prepared. So Lord Fourth Will be Assisting Kakashi and Itachi i Training You to Use your New Abilities After The Exams are Finished." Says Fugaku. "That So?" Asks John. "Yes, Though I Have Only One Sharingan, Which As You Know was Given to Me By Your Uncle Obito, I Do Have The Mangekyo, and I Can Use the Transportation Technique, Specifically, Kamui." Says Kakashi. "And I Can Use Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi." Adds Itachi.

"If I Remember Correctly Amaterasu is Strong enough To Devour Even the Strongest of Fire, and Tsukuyomi is A Powerful Genjutsu. But Kamui Was A Rare Space-Time Ninjutsu, It could be Used for A Number of Purposes." Says John. "Yes That's Right, and With Shisui Being Able to Use Kotoamatsukami, The Strongest Genjutsu In History, We Are Eager to Know The Extent of Your Own Abilities." Says The Fourth Hokage. "I'll Admit, My Curiosity Has Been peaked, I'll Need some Time To Recover after the Exams, but Will Happily Train afterwards." Says John as He Sits back in His Bed. "Good, Just Rest For Now. Your Next Match is in Four Days against Who Ever Wins The Other Semi Finalist Match to Determine the Better Pick." Says Fugaku as He Leads the Way Out, Lord Fourth and Kakashi Following Close Behind, Followed By Itachi Soon After.

John Had Rested Enough That He Could Move Around and Train Just A Little Bit. He Was Mostly Training Up His Visual Prowess and Mastery of The Sharingan. As A Child He'd Awakened His Sharingan At Age Four, The Youngest to Do so in Recorded History, But Oddly Enough His Was Especially Sharp, His Sharingan Could See the Distinct Differences in Chakra Natures, Like A Byakugan would. More Than That Though, He Could Detect Trace Amounts of Excess Chakra, He Was Able to See The Chakra Pathway System and Could Use A Grace and Fluidity That No Other User of the Sharingan to Match or Mimic. But As He was on the Third Day of Recovery and Training He Decided Some Mental Training Was In Order.

John's Reserves of Chakra Had Been Noted to Be Exceptionally High, Higher than Most Jonnin. But He Was also Highly Rated in Stamina, He was able to do Harsh and Brutal Training With Little-To-No Fatigue Gained, even after Hours or Days on End without a Break. So He Summoned About Two Dozen Shadow Clones and Had Them Practice His Mid-Level Techniques Repeatedly, While He and Six Other Shadow Clones Sat in Complete and Utter Stillness of Meditation. John Did So Under A Waterfall, His Clones Did So In The Heat of The Sun's Glare. When The Day Began to End, John Dispersed His Shadow Clones and Staggered As the Experience and Knowledge Gained overwhelmed him slightly.

Tomorrow John Would be Facing His Opponent in the Finals, His Opponents Identity Had Been Closely Kept Secret, so John Could Only Guess Who'd He Be Facing Tomorrow. He Knew That Shino Had Beaten Kankuro, Before Losing To Akira, and Ino Had Faced Mikura and Lost. Mikura and Akira Had Then Faced off, and Akira Had One, but Whether She'd Beaten Gaara? That Wasn't Completely Clear........................................................
