Chapter 2:- Hinata Hyuga

'In this world, my first priority would be to find out what timeline this is. If there is another Naruto in this world, then I won't take his place. I will remain in the shadows and try to influence so that future events will play out in my favor.' The reason that Naruto assumed that there would be a Naruto in this world as well is because of Kurama since the system said that there was a Kurama in this world as well. 

However, he wasn't 100% sure if there was a Naruto in this world. After all, there was a Naruto in this world like Kurama, and the system would have sent his soul, his memories, and his feelings to be merged with this world's Naruto. But that did not happen.

'If there isn't a Naruto in this world, then I will somehow have to get Grandpa's trust. With his help, changing future events will be much easier. But right now, what I need to focus on more than anything is becoming as strong as possible.' Without Kurama, Naruto wasn't that strong at all. And in this world, he isn't sure where Kurama was or who was hosting Kurama. Naruto felt that finding Kurama's location was going to take a long time. 

Also, instead of relying too much on others for power, Naruto felt he should train to become as strong as he could be. 'After all, Senju Hashirama was able to become the God of Shinobi through training. However, there is no denying the fact that being a pure-blooded Senju has made his path easier. Since I am also going to become a pure-blooded Uzumaki within six months, then I would become as strong as him or even surpass him... no... I will surpass him. That's a Promise.' 

'This time, since I have gotten a second chance, I am going to be a little bit more selfish and focus more on my personal relationships.' Speaking of relationships, Naruto remembered by the time the war ended, he and Hinata had come really close. It could be said that they were on the brink of becoming a couple. 

Remembering this, all of a sudden, Naruto felt slightly depressed. 

As Naruto walked on the street, he was so lost in his thoughts that he failed to see that some people on the street were looking at him and murmuring strange things to each other. When Naruto did notice this, he realized it was because of his half-missing right arm. 

'I should get a cloak to cover my body with.' Since Naruto still had some Ryo in his Frog wallet, he used the Ryo to buy a simple, very cheap black cloak. 

'I really hope that there is a way for me to regain my arm; otherwise, without my right arm, I won't be able to do most of my Jutsu.' Naruto wasn't too worried about getting a new arm. In his world, he had seen people who had been dead for almost a century coming back to life during the 3rd great Ninja War. If that was possible, then regenerating an arm was nothing but a simple and easy thing. 

As Naruto was walking towards the training ground, his team, which he had previously used to use for training, heard some interesting things. 

"Look, it's the Hyuga Bitch."

"That bitch will pretend to be a Shy girl to act cute, but in reality, this girl is nothing but a scary bitch with white eyes."

"Hahaha!!! You couldn't have said it better." 

It was a friend of three. It seems that after seeing Hinata Hyuga, these three friends started to bully her. 

Meanwhile, from the far distance, Naruto's eyes were only on Hinata. Even though it only has been three days since he last saw her, for some reason, he felt as if he was seeing Hinata all over again. His eyes were so drawn towards her that he didn't even blink his eyes. At that moment, nothing else in this world mattered to him more than the girl in his eyes. His eyes were drawn to her like magnets. 

Hinata felt extremely uncomfortable hearing what these three friends were saying. She tightly held the corner of her clothes in nervousness while lowering her head and kept walking. Hinata did not even fight back. 

"Brother, look, this bitch is getting away."

"Bitch, where do you think you're doing? Did you think that we were done with you?" One of the friends stepped forward to block Hinata's path. 

"What did this maggot call Hinata...?" At that moment, Naruto felt every single cell in his body trembling with anger. He was so angry that his body started shaking.

How could he allow someone to disrespect the woman for whom he had feelings?

How could he allow someone to disrespect the woman who nearly lost her life trying to protect him from Pain?

How could he allow someone to disrespect the woman who did not even hesitate to step up to die for him? 

'How could I allow that to happen...? Dammit....!!!!!' 

Booom....!!!!!

Letting Hinata be disrespected before his eyes was the last thing that Naruto was going to endure in his life.

Naruto Aura exploded out of his body. His Aura was so strong that in the far distance, some Jonins and Anbu members were instantly able to sense this sudden disturbance in Chakra. 

The friend that blocked Hinata's path smiled. "Bitch, did you think that we would let you leave just like this." Just as he was about to slap Hinata before his hand could even touch her, a strong gust of wind hit them, forcing everyone, including Hinata, to close their eyes. 

The next second, when the 15-year-old boy opened his eyes, he did not understand what was going on, seeing a severed arm flying in the air. 

"Huh....?" 

As his arm fell down, it was only then that immense pain hit his brain. The boy immediately fell to the ground and began rolling in pain and agony. 

Ah....!!!!!!

He screamed due to the instant pain. A large amount of blood began gushing out of his arm. 

Hinata was completely dumbfounded when she opened her eyes. At that moment, as she stared at the blond-haired young man protecting her and even going as far as to cut the very hand that tried to harm her, the Hyuga Princess felt her heart beating faster. She felt warm. She no longer felt like an outcast. 

Hinata never was a brave girl. She was the complete opposite of Brave. She was an extremely timid and socially awkward person. Due to this, whenever she is outside, her presence is always very little. Other than a few classmates, she did not have any friends. 

For as long as she could remember, whenever she went outside of her clan alone, there were some people who didn't even hide their disgust towards her, especially towards her eyes. And due to her timid and low-confident nature, she didn't take any action against these bullies. As a result, over time, these bullies became more and more courageous. They felt that their actions would not have any consequences. 

Unlike other times when, in anger, Naruto lost control of himself due to the influence of Kurama's chakra, this time, it wasn't the case. Naruto was in full control. 

His deep blue eyes were full of killing intent. 

Seeing Naruto standing before Hinata, the other two friends started trembling as their faces turned extremely pale. Their legs were shaking. Sweats were rolling down their faces. 

These two friends could feel it. Just looking at those blue eyes, these friends felt that they were seeing a glimpse of hell itself. 

"Die...!!!" 

Naruto was a person who didn't like to kill. In fact, the number of people he killed despite being a Ninja was very low. It was so low that he had one of the lowest kill counts. 

Generally, Naruto would never raise a hand on the civilians. But right now, these three had touched his sensitive nerves. Even if the Hokage himself were to stand in his way, he wasn't going to let them live. 

Naruto grabbed one of the friends by the throat and easily lifted him from the ground. "You piece of shit!!! How dare you!!!!" Naruto slowly put more strength in his grip. He could have ended him in one go, but that would be too painless. He wanted him to feel the pain before he died. 

Ah...!!! 

The young man's eyes rolled back just as he was about to die, and Hinata stopped him. 

"Please let them live." She said in a very gentle tone. For some reason, her gentle words were like a calm cold wind that completely took away Naruto's anger with it. 

Naruto threw him on the wooden wall. 

Bang!!!

As his back hit the wall, he lost his consciousness. As for the third one, he was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to move his body anymore. He was staring at Naruto like he was a demon. He already looked really miserable. 

"Why did you stop me? These scums deserved to die." Naruto asked. Although Naruto's tone held anger towards these three scums, Hinata also noticed his intent to protect her. This made her feel warm inside. 

Hinata gently smiled and responded. "Although they are people that I hate, I don't want them to die. Besides, if an outsider kills them, then you're going to get in trouble." It was only then Naruto realized that what Hinata was saying was indeed true. He was an outsider in this village. And if an outsider killed someone within the village, Naruto was definitely going to be put in jail. He did not want to get on Konoha's bad side. This would mean that he would not be welcomed in his own home.

Fortunately, he removed the leaf headband before he entered this village; otherwise, he would have been in trouble. 

"I understand. But I don't want to leave these three scums like this." Naruto's voice held anger as he looked at the three scums. 

Even Naruto found it odd. This isn't him. It wasn't in his character to react this violently. 'This must have been because of all the emotions that I have been suppressing inside.' Naruto felt that he was letting the anger and frustration that were born from not being able to save his best friend influence his emotions. This might explain why he reacted so violently. 

'This feeling...!!!' Hinata put her hand on her heart and listened to her heartbeat. Her heart felt really warm hearing his words. 

By the time some Shinobi from the village came, there was no one in the area. As for the three Scums, Naruto cut one of their arms as punishment before he threw them away in some alley. If they were lucky, they were going to survive. If not, then probably they were going to become the food of some street dogs.
