Naruto vs. Neji

"Hinata, go stand to the side and wait for me," Naruto said, gently patting her head. "I'll take care of this quickly."

Hinata reluctantly stepped away, concern etched on her face as she watched Naruto prepare to face Neji. Naruto, with a smirk, began making Wing Chun gestures, much to Neji's confusion.

"Which road has the most traffic? Konoha or Foshan?" Naruto declared, mimicking an old martial arts challenge.

Neji blinked, puzzled by the strange question. "Konoha, Hyuga Neji," he replied, trying to maintain some semblance of decorum despite the odd introduction. Naruto paused, caught off guard by Neji's serious response.

"Wait... why are you copying me?" Naruto muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed by the unexpected formality. He shook it off quickly, focusing on the task at hand. "Alright, let's just do this," he thought. "This guy's always talking about destiny and fate... it's about time someone shut him up."

Naruto rushed at Neji with a burst of speed, his right foot kicking off the ground. Neji activated his Byakugan, his vision sharpening to catch every detail. As Naruto approached, Neji was stunned by the sheer volume of chakra emanating from him—far more than he had anticipated. The sight of Naruto's chakra system, bright and expansive, was almost blinding through his Byakugan.

"What the...?" Neji murmured, momentarily thrown off by the sheer scale of Naruto's chakra. This distraction almost cost him; Naruto was already in front of him, launching a series of punches. Neji, still reeling from his discovery, barely managed to block and deflect the attacks, his face contorting in a mixture of confusion and shock.

"You... you're a monster!" Neji shouted, struggling to keep up with the barrage.

Naruto grinned, not slowing down. He was excited—finally, a chance to show off his new moves. Neji, meanwhile, was puzzled by Naruto's tactics. Despite his overwhelming chakra, Naruto was sticking to taijutsu, an area where Neji excelled. "Is this guy mocking me?" Neji thought, feeling insulted. "Using his weakest skill against me... he must think he can beat me without even trying!"

Fueled by anger, Neji dodged a punch, pivoting to deliver a counterattack aimed straight at Naruto's head. Naruto saw the incoming strike and knew he couldn't dodge in time. He felt a rush of panic—getting hit in the face wasn't part of the plan. Just then, a purple portal opened behind him, and Naruto leaned back, disappearing into it. Neji's punch hit nothing but air.

Neji's Byakugan scanned the area, frantically searching for Naruto. He spotted the telltale glow of chakra behind him and quickly turned, but it was too late. Naruto emerged from another portal and delivered a swift kick to Neji's rear, sending him stumbling forward.

The kick disoriented Neji, but before he could regain his balance, Naruto opened another portal directly in Neji's path. Neji tumbled through, his balance completely lost. He emerged ten meters away, right where Naruto was waiting, already preparing his next attack.

Naruto couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. He'd perfected his "Uzumaki Triangle Kill"—a move inspired by a technique from an old game he used to play. While he hadn't mastered the Flying Thunder God technique yet, this was a decent substitute. He grinned, ready to deliver the finishing blow.

As Neji stumbled out of the portal, disoriented and off-balance, Naruto was already in position. "Ah da——" Naruto shouted, winding up for a powerful punch. "Brother, here's a serious one for you!"

Neji, realizing the danger, steeled himself. If he couldn't dodge, he'd counter. As Naruto's fist came towards his face, Neji aimed a strike at Naruto's abdomen. Naruto, seeing the attack, hesitated. A punch to the gut could be dangerous, especially after all the ramen he'd eaten earlier.

"Neji, wait! Don't—" Naruto tried to warn, but it was too late. Neji's palm struck Naruto's stomach just as Naruto's fist connected with Neji's face. The impact was severe—Neji felt his face go numb, but Naruto...

"Ugh—" Naruto gasped, feeling the ramen churn in his stomach. He doubled over, and in the next instant, everything he'd eaten came rushing out. Naruto vomited, the force of it spraying directly onto Neji, who was too dazed from the punch to react.

Neji stood there, stunned, as the contents of Naruto's stomach splattered across his face and clothes. The warm, unpleasant mess covered him, and the smell of half-digested ramen filled the air. For a moment, everything was silent.

Hinata, watching from the sidelines, covered her mouth in shock. Naruto stared, horrified by what he'd just done. Neji's expression was one of pure disbelief. He slowly wiped a piece of noodle from his face, looking at it in stunned silence. The silence stretched on until Neji finally broke it, retching violently.

"Uzumaki... Naruto... you..." Neji's voice shook with fury and disgust. "I'm going to kill you!" He screamed, his voice echoing through the empty streets.

Naruto, realizing the severity of the situation, took a step back, hands raised in a placating gesture. "Hey, uh, let's calm down, okay? It was an accident!"

But Neji was beyond reason, his face a mask of rage and humiliation. As he lunged at Naruto, Hinata rushed forward, desperately trying to intervene before things escalated any further. The day had taken an unexpected turn, and Naruto realized that this encounter was far from over.
