Naruto: In the future world

Naruto's Perspective

After returning home that evening, I began preparing to head to the company alongside Ella and Yuha. Mina, the maid, was with us as well.

We were in a luxurious limousine, driven by our personal chauffeur. I sat restlessly, glancing around, while Ella remained focused on her phone, messaging someone.

I glanced at Mina. Her eyes were closed peacefully, hands resting calmly on her lap in a posture of readiness, waiting for any command from us.

Yuha was quiet, staring silently out the window.

Ella, still scrolling through her social media, hadn't said a word.

Even after all this time, I still found myself in awe of the towering buildings owned by my clan. We looked like rulers of Japan.

As we approached the company, its enormous height came into view. Every building surrounding it belonged to us—the entire street was owned by the great Uzumaki Clan.

The car stopped at the largest building. The four of us quietly stepped out and made our way inside.

At the reception desk, a man stood ready to receive visitors.

"Welcome, how may I assist you?"

Mina stepped forward and handed him a golden VIP card. He bowed respectfully.

"We've been expecting you. Please, this way."

We were guided toward the elevator. As we ascended, the entire city of Konoha unfolded before us in a stunning panoramic view.

"Konoha is truly amazing," I said with quiet awe, placing my hand on the glass and admiring the scene.

"Yes," Ella replied, smiling. "Along with the Namikaze, Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga, we stand at the top of this world. If we can gain control over those five clans, the world itself will belong to us."

"Unifying the world..." I murmured, eyes still fixed on the blue sky above.

Scene Twenty-Four

The Beginning of the Battle

In a large, open warehouse, the afternoon sun blazed fiercely overhead.

Hundreds—maybe even a thousand—delinquents had gathered there.

Beyond the two primary rival factions, there were also smaller gangs who had chosen neutrality, staying out of the conflict for now.

The reason for this gathering was simple: to pledge allegiance to whichever gang won the upcoming battle and claimed dominance over most of Konoha.

"Who do you think will win? Shinshoku High led by Tiger, or Hasuno High, ruled by the savage queen Lily?"

"It's hard to tell. There are too many parties involved—like Konoha Grand High backing Hasuno."

"True. But if we compare the leaders themselves, Shinshoku has the edge."

"You're underestimating Hasuno's alliances. They have Ringo too—he's the number two in Ai High's gang."

Their heated debate was cut short by the sudden roar of motorcycles approaching the warehouse.

"It's Shinshoku High!"

Someone spotted the gang's flag and shouted from the crowd as the bikes entered from the northern gate.

One by one, the bikes stopped, forming two rows. Riding between them were Tiger—the leader—and Jin behind him.

"There they are—Tiger and Jin, ranked first and second among all high schoolers!"

They reached the front, parked, and dismounted, flanked by a group of tough-looking individuals.

"Wait… aren't those two Sen and Ken? Didn't they already graduate and join a major gang?"

"That's what the rumors said. Why are they involved in this fight?"

"Don't tell me… their gang is supporting Tiger?"

"Looks like it."

Meanwhile, more motorcycles approached from the south.

"The Hasuno gang is here!"

All eyes turned to the southern gate as Hasuno's gang entered, their flag flying high. Lily led the group, followed by Naruto, then Carol, Shino, Rock Lee, and finally the coalition's last member—Ringo.

"Things are heating up. The factions are face-to-face at last."

Tiger and Lily stepped forward, stopping a few feet apart at the center of the warehouse.

"This is your last warning, Hasuno Gang," Tiger said. "Surrender your territory and swear loyalty to us, or be annihilated."

"Why do you sound so confident?" Lily smirked. "We'll bury your gang right here."

"Empty words from weaklings. Sen, show them how we crush foolish hopes."

"As you wish."

Sen stepped forward, representing Shinshoku High.

"Ringo, would you take care of him?"

Ringo stepped forward with a smile. "Leave it to me."

"What do you think, Shino?" Naruto asked.

"This looks like it'll be a tough fight," Shino replied.

Sen and Ringo exchanged the first blows, slowly escalating the intensity of their duel under the watchful eyes of both gangs.

"They outnumber us," Shino observed. "If this turns into a war of attrition, we'll lose."

"You're right. That means we have to win fast."

Their battle intensified.

Both Ringo and Sen were bloodied and panting by now.

Ringo attacked from the front, but Sen dodged and punched him hard in the jaw. Ringo quickly countered with a kick to Sen's stomach and followed up with a punch to the face, forcing Sen to stumble back.

"Nice work, Ringo! Keep the pressure on!" someone cheered.

But in an instant, all hope was crushed.

Sen grabbed Ringo's arm, and with one swift knee strike, broke it!

Ringo screamed in agony as Sen hurled him back toward Hasuno's gang with a smirk.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lily..." Ringo groaned, biting his lip in shame.

"It's alright."

Sen grinned wickedly. "This is your fate, Hasuno Gang. You should've known the difference between the dirt beneath you and the sky where our leader Tiger stands."

He raised his voice, now addressing the neutral gangs watching.

"Our leader Tiger is exceptional. He will lead this new era. If any of you want his favor, now's your chance to join us."

Shinshoku High's gang erupted in unified chants.

"All hail Leader Tiger! All hail Leader Tiger!"

"This isn't good. Their morale's skyrocketing," Carol muttered with concern beside Lily.

"We need to act—fast."

Sen walked toward the first person he saw: Naruto, who was checking on Ringo. Caught off guard, Naruto turned to see Sen behind him.

"You're Naruto, leader of the Breakers, right?"

Naruto gave him a sideways glance. "Yeah. So what?"

Sen raised an eyebrow at Naruto's indifferent tone. "They say you beat Jin. But you look pretty weak to me."

He raised his fist, aiming to crush Naruto with a single strike.

To everyone's shock, that punch was stopped mid-air.

Naruto had caught it effortlessly.

"This is the strength of a high school graduate? Or are you just pathetic?"

Naruto's cold voice carried an unmistakable killing intent.

"Don't get cocky just because you blocked it by luck!"

Sen threw another punch, but Naruto dodged it with ease—almost as if it moved in slow motion.

As their eyes met, Sen suddenly envisioned a monstrous fox-like beast opening its jaws to devour him.

That illusion shattered as Naruto's fist connected with his face, launching Sen into the air.

He landed unconscious at the feet of Jin and Tiger.

Naruto stood with his fist extended toward them, a silent but clear declaration of war.

Jin clutched his wound, glaring. Tiger's expression remained unreadable.

"Crush them," Tiger said calmly.

"Let's go!!"

Shinshoku's gang charged.

"Don't let these bastards beat you!"

Lily moved first, eyes burning with excitement.

"Follow the leader!"

Hasuno's gang charged forward, and the two forces clashed.

Scene Twenty-Four (Part 1) End

A young man walked with his hands in his pockets, eyes cold and indifferent. His phone buzzed with a message—from Naruto.

He stared at the notification for a few seconds, about to delete it.

But then he reconsidered, opened it, and read.

After a few silent moments, he deleted the message and put the phone away, continuing down the path.

As he walked, he came across a blonde girl with her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a sporty purple bra top and matching shorts.

Her curves were captivating, but Sasuke suppressed that part of himself.

"Ino…"

He called her name softly.

She turned and smiled. "Sasuke… how are you?"

"I'm fine. Done with your workout?"

"No, but I thought a little break wouldn't hurt."

She hinted with a hopeful look.

"I see. That's good," he replied coolly, ignoring her smile.

Her head dropped a little—what was she expecting, anyway?

They walked in silence until Sasuke sat on a nearby bench. Ino began to leave.

"Aren't you going to sit?"

She blinked in surprise and turned to him. He was still looking away coldly.

A soft smile lit her face.

"Of course. I'd love a little break."

She immediately joined him, happily sitting by his side.

Scene Twenty-Five

Clash of the Leaders

The battle between Hasuno and Shinshoku raged violently.

Bodies lay everywhere—some in pain, others unconscious.

Despite the numerical advantage of Shinshoku, the Hasuno gang fought like beasts, holding their ground against the overwhelming assault.

Naruto, surrounded by enemies, suddenly sensed danger and dodged swiftly. It was Ken—Sen's twin—coming for revenge.

"You'll pay for what you did to my brother!"

Ken launched a flurry of attacks, which Naruto dodged effortlessly.

Suddenly, a powerful kick slammed into Ken's face from behind.

"Rock Lee," Naruto muttered with a smile.

"Leave him to me. Don't waste your energy on weak trash."

Naruto nodded and made his way through the battlefield, heading straight for Tiger and Jin.

"I'll come with you," Lily said, catching up to him.

"Good. Let's defeat them—together!"

"Yeah."

Meanwhile, Rock Lee faced Ken.

Ken rubbed his head slowly.

"You should've stayed down. I don't usually have to hit the same person twice."

"Don't worry. This time, it's you who's going down."

"We'll see."

Rock Lee took a stance resembling Wing Chun.

"Karate, huh?" Ken muttered and charged.

Rock Lee used his long legs to kick Ken hard in the stomach, sending him flying.

Ken got back up quickly.

"Damn… tough guy."

They clashed violently. Ken absorbed hit after hit as if nothing could hurt him.

Finally, he broke through Lee's defense and landed a powerful punch to his face, sending Lee flying.

Lee spat blood and stood, grinning.

"Heh… not bad. You actually pushed me back."

"I'll kill you too!"

Ken charged again—but Lee switched styles, dodging his punch and landing a brutal kick to Ken's chin. Blood sprayed from Ken's mouth, followed by a punch to the gut that knocked him back.

Lee leapt into the air.

"Block this—if you can."

He spun rapidly before landing a spinning kick to Ken's neck.

Ken collapsed, unconscious.

Lee sighed, leaning on one leg, which had gone numb.

(His body's like steel… he almost shattered my limbs.)

He exhaled, then returned to fighting others nearby.

---

Jin and Tiger sat watching the battlefield, visibly annoyed.

"They're still holding out…"

"Just luck. They'll fall soon."

"It's only a matter of time."

Two figures stepped in front of them—Naruto and Lily.

The leaders of the opposing coalitions had finally come face to face.

"You got here fast, Naruto," Jin said, radiating bloodlust.

"All we need to do is kill these two, and Konoha is ours, right?"

Tiger walked forward, hands in his pockets.

"You're planning to end this quickly, huh?" Naruto muttered.

He and Lily both noticed something unusual in Jin's tone—respect toward the Yellow Devil himself.

Jin, the prideful narcissist.

But before they could think further, Tiger appeared in front of them.

They didn't even see him move.

He raised his leg.

It vanished, then reappeared in the same spot in the blink of an eye.

In that instant, both Naruto and Lily were sent flying.

"I'll kill these two weaklings and finish this quickly," Tiger muttered, tilting his head coldly—as if nothing in the world could impress him, much less stop him.
