Hokage Office

  The afternoon light filtered through the tall windows as Naruto leaned back in his chair, fingers locked behind his head.

  “The Shin Clan wants a boxing match,” he said bluntly.

  Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

  “Since when do shinobi box?”

  Shikamaru adjusted the documents in his hand.

  “It’s official. A public match. Their side sends a representative. We send one. No chakra techniques. Pure physical combat.”

  Naruto frowned.

  “Who here even knows boxing?”

  “Rock Lee?” Shikamaru suggested.

  Sasuke skimmed the paper again.

  “It says their fighter is ten years old. Hawk. Yoru’s son.”

  The room went silent.

  Naruto scratched his cheek.

  “A kid?”

  Shikamaru exhaled slowly.

  “If this prevents war and keeps civilians safe… we might have to accept.”

  Naruto stared at the Hokage monument outside.

  “…Fine. We accept.”

  Outside the Hokage Office — Days Later

  Naruto, Hinata, Yuta, Himawari, and Boruto stood waiting.

  Footsteps echoed down the stone path.

  Yoru approached with Hawk beside him.

  Yoru’s smile was thin.

  “You’ll treat us properly, won’t you? Or we’ll let the world know Konoha mistreats its guests.”

  Hawk stepped forward.

  His eyes locked onto Hinata. Then Himawari.

  Cold. Calculating.

  Hinata’s expression softened — but inside, something tightened.

  (For a child this age… that stare isn’t normal.)

  Kara Laboratory

  Eida leaned over the console, watching through Senrigan.

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  “You like Hinata, don’t you?”

  Daemon spun in his chair.

  “I LOVEEEEEEEEE HERRRRRRRR!”

  Amado adjusted his glasses.

  “Whatever this child loves… he intensifies.”

  Eida smiled faintly.

  “Well, he chose the right woman.”

  Daemon giggled.

  “Hehehe… GRANDMA IS BEST.”

  Press Hall — Public Announcement

  Cameras flashed.

  Naruto and Yoru sat across from each other.

  Naruto looked into the camera.

  “Konoha accepts the match. We’ll send one of our children to represent us.”

  Yoru leaned back.

  “Yes, yes. You should. We’ve already devoured other villages.”

  The doors opened.

  Hawk walked in.

  He glanced around the hall and sneered.

  “A Hyuga Clan led by a fourteen-year-old? How immature.”

  Yuta’s hand clenched the fabric of his Hyuga robe.

  Hinata stood calmly.

  “He’s my son.”

  She stepped closer to Hawk.

  Up close, she saw it.

  A bruise on his cheek.

  A faint burn mark beneath his shirt.

  Her voice softened.

  “Let me help you, child—”

  Hawk slapped her.

  The sound echoed.

  Gasps filled the room.

  Hinata staggered slightly. A thin line of blood appeared at her lip.

  Hawk coughed — blood flecked his own mouth.

  “Don’t you dare touch me, woman.”

  Silence.

  Kara Laboratory

  Daemon froze.

  A single tear slid down his cheek.

  “Grandma… sad.”

  Amado’s eyes widened at the monitor.

  “No… no no no. His power levels are skyrocketing. Eida, stop him!”

  Daemon’s scream shattered the lab’s glass panels.

  “WHO TOUCHED MY GRANDMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

  He shot upward like a bullet, breaking through the ceiling.

  Eida ran after him.

  “KID! COME BACK!”

  Amado collapsed into his chair.

  “…Please don’t destroy the continent.”

  Press Hall

  Yuta rushed to Hinata, holding her gently.

  He wiped the blood from her lip with trembling fingers.

  Naruto’s eyes shifted.

  Orange.

  Then crimson.

  Baryon Mode began to flicker.

  Shikamaru stepped in front of him.

  “Naruto. He’s a guest. If you kill him here, we lose politically.”

  Naruto’s fists trembled.

  Hawk walked forward and kicked Yuta away from Hinata.

  “You have that robot child, don’t you? What’s his name?”

  Yoru chuckled.

  “Daemon, wasn’t it?”

  Yuta’s voice broke.

  “Don’t you dare say my son’s name.”

  Hawk picked up a cup of green tea and poured it slowly over Yuta’s face.

  Reporters gasped.

  Kara Laboratory — Surveillance Feed

  Amado watched Daemon’s vision through the monitor.

  The image blurred with rage.

  Daemon’s voice echoed through the system.

  “NOW PAPAAAAA TOOOOOO… I WILL END THIS WORLD!”

  Amado initiated a video call.

  “EIDA! MOVE FASTER!”

  “I’m trying! He’s out of control!”

  Press Hall — Seconds Later

  The doors exploded inward.

  Daemon stood there.

  Eyes glowing.

  Breathing heavy.

  He saw Yuta kneeling.

  He saw Hinata bleeding.

  His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper.

  “How… dare… you.”

  The floor cracked.

  He lunged for Hawk.

  Ryouta grabbed him from behind.

  Sasuke pinned Daemon’s head down with one hand.

  “LET ME KILL HIMMMMM!” Daemon roared.

  Sasuke leaned closer to his ear.

  “Kill him in the ring.”

  Daemon froze.

  Ryouta stood tall and faced the cameras.

  “Daemon. Son of Yuta and Eida. He will fight Hawk.”

  The crowd erupted.

  Cheers. Screams. Chaos.

  Yoru’s smirk faded for the first time.

  Naruto’s eyes dimmed from Baryon Mode.

  Hinata wiped her own blood and stood straight.

  Konoha had chosen its fighter.

  Not for pride.

  Not for fame.

  But for family. ????
