Amidst all of the chaos with the medic ninja running around aiding those who needed to be treated, Jaakuna knew the head bump he and Kurin did was a bad idea when he realized his Senju teammate had a headbutt just as hard and strong as Jaakuna did. So, on top of his burns and other miscellaneous effects he was feeling from the hell they all just went through, Jaakuna could include a banger headache on top of it all. But at least he had his health, no matter how scarce it might be. Yeah, that’s the brightside. Score one for brightsides!

But, as the medic ninja would attend to him, they’d deliver the grim reality for Jaakuna. “Your burns are bad - severe, even. Nerve damage from the looks of. We can’t be certain, but hand sign weaving might be slowed.” The medical ninja told him as the warmth of their chakra healed what they could. 

The words would resonate with Jaakuna, though he wouldn’t linger on the negative for much longer. He had to keep a positive mind. Nerve damage or dead nerves huh? Well, then he’ll just have to find alternative means to get them back. There’s always a way if you keep your head up. Burns on the arms? That’s ironic since he’s mainly a katon user, but burns go away after time, so that’s of no consequence. Fighting from here on might be challenging, but what Hinoko doesn’t love a good challenge? None that Jaakuna knew. The Hinoko’s are a stubborn and resilient bunch. Not even the lake spirit of their ancestors could keep their fire from spreading. Jaakuna wasn’t going to let a few dead nerves or burns on his arms keep him from achieving his dream. 

Although, the announcement about their next exam happening shortly sure caught him by surprise. 

He took a brief moment of letting it settle with him. He looked around at his team and those who have already finished and he then glanced down at his arms. Another moment passed and he started chuckling, then stood up and laughed as if he had gone mad. [color=goldenrod]“Bwaha, very well then, Lord Hokage! Challenge accepted!”[/color] Despite every fiber in his being that hoped the next round of fights wouldn’t come so early, Jaakuna would face it head on. No self-respecting Hinoko backed away from a fight. He looked at Kurin, Kiku, and Shizuka. [color=goldenrod]“Just because we fought tooth and nail to get that scroll doesn’t mean I’ll hesitate to kick your asses.”[/color] He snickered, overflowing with exciting confidence.

Sundance was back and he was going to outshine all of their bitch-asses.
