Neji felt his body being thrust backwards at speed, while feeling his face swelling and in intense pain, he hit the ground while continuing to move backward like an uncontrolled object.

Tenten and Lee stood paralyzed as they saw Neji in that state, however, he didn’t even have time to stop as Naruto appeared by his side, and without mercy, kicked him from behind.

“AHHH!!!” Neji screamed in pain feeling his bones cracking as he started to fly in another direction in the same state.

‘What is this?! How is he moving at a speed that I can’t even react to?!’ He had this thought at this critical moment.

Naruto didn’t attack him, allowing him to stabilize while trying to drag himself across the ground, standing up 20 meters away from Naruto, Neji felt his body go into shock from that and started vomiting blood, due to the last impact from Naruto hitting a quite important part of his body, causing a minor internal hemorrhage.

He placed a hand on his rib while spitting, looking at Naruto standing at a distance in disbelief.

“Neji!!” Tenten was alarmed by the state of Neji that Naruto had caused in 2 seconds.

“...” Lee knew that Naruto could be stronger than Neji after all the beatings he took, but this was too much, not even he saw Naruto moving at high speed.

“Come on, you talk a lot, but is that all you can do, get beaten up?” Naruto spoke raising an eyebrow.

“What is this? How can you be so strong!” Neji asked as his nose bled, feeling his body in great pain.

“Wrong answer.” Naruto spoke before disappearing and appearing in front of Neji with a small streak of light, punching the boy in the stomach, this made him hunch feeling the pressure and strength of Naruto’s punch, making him spit more blood while leaning back.

Neji didn’t even have time to react before Naruto appeared above him and stepped on him, exploding the ground.

CRACKKKK!

“Hey, Naruto aren’t you exaggerating?!” Lee shouted quite alarmed, Neji was being beaten like a dog, something that Naruto never went to this point.

Naruto did not answer and took his hand to the ground picking up a badly injured Neji from the ground by the neck, while he was lifted in the air.

“You don’t seem as arrogant as before, do you?” Naruto spoke with an arrogant tone since he had just discovered a new type of person he did not like in this world.

Neji still conscious, looked at Naruto, there was a glimmer of fear as his neck was suspended, he tried to use one of his hands while trying to hit Naruto, but his hand was easily grabbed by Naruto’s free hand.

“You have to do something better than that.” Naruto mocked and this boy needed a good lesson. “As they say, you beat and you might forget, but when you get beaten, you never forget, remember that and all my words, after all, it could save your life one day.” Naruto spoke and Neji tried to hit Naruto with the other hand, but Naruto laughed and dodged. And before Neji could react, he felt a pain that he would never forget in his life.

Crack

“AHHHHHHH!!!!” Naruto broke the boy’s arm that he had in his hand. Neji screamed immediately.

BOOM! Naruto threw him on the ground again, making the boy fall unconscious, he lifted him up again now knocked out and looked satisfied.

Tenten seemed shocked by this, looking at Naruto with fear, Lee frowned, he could not imagine Naruto being so relentless, he played with Neji as if he was nothing more than a child and Naruto was quite cruel with him.

“What is happening here?!” Guy appeared at this moment, looking at Naruto on top of a completely destroyed ground while he had an unconscious and badly injured Neji caught by the neck, and his team, Tenten and Lee were looking at Naruto with fear.

“You took your time, Guy-sensei.” Naruto said calmly, already feeling Guy approaching kilometers away.

Guy had no plans to return to his team’s training field, but an ambu approached him, asking what he talked about with Naruto, because the boy disappeared, he came here to see if Naruto really had come as he asked from Lee, what he did not expect was to see something like this happening in front of him.

“Don’t be so shocked.” Naruto spoke again. “Trust me, what I’m doing here today will save this ninja’s life in the future.” Naruto finished speaking and threw Neji down like a rag doll.

He sighed and looked at Lee, not really caring how he was looking at him now. “Lee... Remember to always strengthen yourself, surpassing your limits, don’t let anyone step on you and say that you can’t become what you strive for with effort.” Naruto spoke and looked into the boy’s eyes. “Goodbye, Lee.” He spoke with a seriousness he had never used before.

“Naruto? What do you mean by that?” Lee, who would always respond with something motivational from his youth, was astounded by Naruto’s words, wanting to know what they meant.

“It’s time for me to follow my own path.” That was Naruto’s response and he looked at Guy still dazed. “I know I might have exaggerated with the Hyuuga boy, but I’m giving him a chance to improve, now I’m leaving, Guy-sensei. You better take him to the medic.” Naruto spoke in a neutral tone and walked past a still dazed Guy.

“Naruto...?” Lee mumbled still dazed by Naruto’s words.

“Is this the son of the Fourth Hokage? He’s not like everyone in the village says he is?” Tenten murmured still frightened, that boy was a merciless monster after what she saw him do to Neji.

Guy snapped out of his daze and as much as he wanted to approach Naruto to explain what just happened, he couldn’t leave Neji in that state.

“I’ll take him to the hospital.” He said picking up Neji and jumping between the trees.

Tenten and Lee were left there not knowing how to react after everything that happened. Meanwhile, Naruto continued on his path, that is until he found someone who landed in front of him before leaving the training field.

“Akame?” Naruto spoke, “Were you following me, shouldn’t you be at the academy?” He asked the girl looking at her seriously.

“I sent a shadow clone.” She spoke and looked at him like a hawk. “You’re leaving.” It wasn’t a question.

Naruto sighed. “Why do you think that?” He asked.

“You’re seeing each of the people you know, you beat that Hyuuga without holding back, as if he was a doll, you didn’t even hide that power from Lee and didn’t even care about that Jonin knowing that you seriously injured his student.” She spoke with an accusatory tone.

“So that’s why you were following me. How long have you been doing this?” He asked, already realizing that Akame had been following him while he was in the village, but he never bothered to approach the girl unless they were training.

“6 months, since you seemed to want to leave.” She spoke without caring about being accused of spying.

“You’re right...” Naruto finally spoke. “I’m leaving.” He said.

“Great, I’m coming with you.” She spoke.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Naruto looked at her seriously, he expected something like this from Kimimaro, since the boy had no home and couldn’t stay hidden in the Forest of the Fire Country forever. “Here you have everything, a home, stability, and a future.” Naruto spoke.

“I had all that before and look what happened to my family.” She spoke seriously. “But that’s not why I want to leave, I promised I would stay with you. I intend to do that.” She said.

“You always made it clear, but what I’m going to do and where I’m going will make me a criminal to Konoha, do you want that?” He asked, since even hiding his strength all these years, he would be discovered at some point and even having no ties to the ninja system of the village, he could be considered a deserter even by his own father, who is the Hokage.

“Yes.” She answered calmly without hesitation.

“I intend to enter a hell full of blood and deaths, do you want to go to that?” Naruto asked.

“Yes.” She answered again.

“I intend to do something that will shock the world, perhaps it will set the whole world against me, do you want that?” Naruto asked to make sure she knew what she was getting into.

“Yes.” She responded again.

Naruto sighed. “Alright, you are well aware of the consequences, so if you want to accompany me, I will accept you by my side.” Naruto finally said, Akame was someone Naruto had not only grown accustomed to having by his side all these years, but she was also hardworking and passed all the tests Naruto put her through, she would never be a bad choice to have by his side on his journey, yet he believed she could have had a more peaceful life.

“Don’t worry.” She said with a smile and closed eyes, one eye opened showing a three-tomoe Sharingan. “I am the most powerful Uchiha of my generation, I will stand by your side.” She spoke with conviction.

Naruto nodded in satisfaction, “I’ll be waiting for you at the southern entrance of the village at midnight.” He said and resumed walking.

His next path was to his home, he had a few more acquaintances, but nobody as particularly important as the last ones, after all, Naruto didn’t spend much time in the village. But now the next ones he would see would be his most difficult moment.

On a nearby post, Naruto noticed the Anbu finally spotting him and wiping sweat from his forehead for finally finding him, after all, how could he face the Fourth Hokage saying he lost sight of his son who did not possess chakra.

Naruto continued on his way until he finally reached the gate he had passed hours ago, entering the Namikaze property, and going to his house, seeing that his family was already gathered.

‘It’s time to spend my last moments with you...’ Naruto thought as he began to enter the house, already hearing the sound of his mother giving a serious talk about something Sora got up to while Mizu protected her sister, and his father sitting on the couch reading some important scroll, not having time to see him in his Hokage office, all of this with his observation haki.
