-=Who decided that?=- rewritten

As Hinata faces Neji anyone can see that she is trembling.

'Damn it! that will never end well, if i tell her to give up her resolve will crumble, but if i tell her to fight she will end up beaten half dead'

[It's better for her to at least try, no?]

'You are right... but...'

Naruto grips the railing as he shouts.

"HINATA! YOU CAN DO IT!" Even tough he knows that she can't win, it's better to be defeated fighting than being defeated before you even tried.

Hinata gets a confidence boost.

'Naruto-kun is cheering for me!'

She gets into her gentle fist instance and prepares to fight, as the match starts Neji and Hinata activated their byakugan at the same time and rushed at eachother. If you are a normal person you would though that they are evenly matched, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Neji slowly but surely seals every tenketsu in Hinata's arms.

After he said his BS about fate, Hinata that is almost fainting just answers Neji with how she really feels about this fate BS. Neji gets mad and moves to give Hinata a lethal hit, All of the jonins prepared to move at once when they see a blur.

It reaches in between Hinata and Neji as it deflects Neji's attack.

"You did really well Hinata-chan. Now you should rest... you would not want to see what comes next" Naruto murmured the last part but at that moment Hinata had already fainted. Naruto holds her in a pricess carry and puts her in the stretcher of some medic nins nearby.

"Hey you,The loud one" Neji points at Naruto

"What?" Every jonin gets tense because if the amount of killing intent in this simple word

"Why did you interfere? its her fate to be beaten by me! just like its the fate of people like you to never achieve anything in life!" Kakashi freezes, as he looks at Naruto he immediately remembers what they talked about in the land of waves

#flashback no jutsu#

At night

Kakashi walked closer to Naruto, who was sitting at the side of the lake

"What are you doing here?"

"Just thinking about some stuff..." Naruto answers

"Like what? I have plenty of experience in life, i can help you with that" Said Kakashi while sitting at Naruto's side

"Sensei... How did it feel to be called a genius when you were little?" Naruto asks with a stoic face, but anyone can see that he is not so calm inside...

"Honestly? At first it was really nice, but after some time it got very stressful.

Any achievements you may have gotten were ignored, it is just as people expected afterall, but if you fail to reach their stupidly high standards, then you are a deception...

I heard things like that a lot of times..." Kakashi answer, while remembering his past.

"I think i know how it feels, people always ignored anything i did, while only looking to find my flaws... It's not the same, but similar. I hate this kinda of thing..." Naruto said

"You didn't say that you hated this during our team introduction..." Kakashi jokingly remarks, trying to lift the mood

"Like you are someone to tell me how i did my introduction... You literary just said your name!

But yeah... I guess i didn't put much trust into my team...

Well, I can say it now if you are interested.

There is only two things that i hate:

People who judge you without knowing anything about you, And people that are praised and venerated just because of their family, bloodline or clan, In other words, people who never did anything to deserve this..." Naruto ended up talking more than he wanted before, so he got sleepy and decided to go sleep.

"At least you are more open with us now..." Kakashi this day got to know Naruto a little better.

#Flashback no jutsu, release#

"What did you say?" Naruto is emanating a massive amount of pressure, Neji who is not close to him doesn't feels the pressure but the jonins can all predict that Neji is digging his own grave right now.

"This is not going to end well..." Kakashi is worried

"That's not very youthful of you Neji..." Guy frowns at Neji's words

"Am i the only one that feels that this kid is going to die?" Kurenai asks Asuma who is staring intently at the arena, if anything happens he will intervene.

Naruto is not really mad, but he is really annoyed by Neji right now.

"You said that the fate of people like me is to never achieve anything?" Naruto asks in a deep voice

"Yes, your fa-" Naruto interrupts Neji's BS

"Who decided that?

You said that your fate is to beat Hinata?

Who decided that?

People like me or Lee that never had even a hint of your talent and help of a clan like you had will never achieve anything?

WHO DECIDED THAT?

PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO HAD EVERYTHING SINCE THEY WERE BORN HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FATE! I HAD NO ONE SINCE I WAS BORN, THE ENTIRE VILLAGE TREATED ME LIKE TRASH AND IN YOUR WORDS I WOULD NOT EVEN BE HERE RIGHT NOW! FATE SPIT ON MY FACE THE MOMENT I WAS BORN AND HERE I AM PROVING THAT FATE CAN'T DO SHI* TO ME! I WAS NEVER A GENIUS LIKE YOU OR A PRODIGY LIKE SASUKE AND HERE I AM STANDING ON THE SAME STAGE AS YOU TWO. SO IF YOU SAY THAT MY FATE IS TO NEVER ACHIVE ANYTHING...

WHO THE FU*K DECIDED THAT? I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DECIDES MY OWN FATE!" As Naruto's speech ends he throws a kunai in Neji's direction, All the jonins don't think much about this, but Kakashi has a bad feeling.

Neji dodged and when he was going to say some BS... Naruto teleports right in front of Neji

"Hiraishin Ni no dan: RA-SEN-GAN" Naruto smashes a rasengan right at Neji's guts.Neji is sent flying, Naruto adjusted the rasengan to not be lethal but to hurt way more in exchange.

Everyone looks at this with open mouths.

Gaara seems to be contemplating something about Naruto's words.

"Wi-winner Uzumaki Naruto" Gekko says prompting the hokage to cough

"I- I mean, winner Neji Hyuga"

Before Kakashi can say anything to Naruto he flash steps closer to Hinata and seats by her side.

"Thank you for defending Hinata-chan" Kurenai said to Naruto who only responds with a nod as he looks at Hinata worried...

-=-=-

"What was that? was that the famous jutsus from the 4th hokage?" Asuma asks incredulously

"SUCH YOUTHFUL SPEECH!!!" Guy and Lee seems to have fire in their eyes.

"That's surprising, he held back!" Kakashi inspects Neji and discovers that he is not in danger but will feel a LOT of pain when he wakes up.

" Was that really Naruto?" Sakura being Sakura asks the dumbest question

"Did he really went through all of that?" Sasuke seems surprised that someone had a worst life than his.

At the suna side

"That was really surprising..." Temari is surprised, her impression of the blond boy who made fun of Kankuro was that of a happy go lucky kid that had a beautiful life, thus that surprised her a lot.

"To think that someone went through the same..." Kankuro sees the similarities between Gaara and Naruto's life and gains newfound respect for the blond.

"If i could... would that also prove my existance?" Gaara pondered about Naruto's words. Shukaku didn't bother him now because he felt Kurama's chakra from the boy and started to think about their current predicament...

At the hokage seat

"Naruto..." Hiruzen can't find the right words to describe his feelings right now, he is guilty for letting Naruto suffer all of this, Sad that Naruto never had anything and also proud of how Naruto turned out to be...

Hiruzen should thank god that Naruto didn't end up like Gaara... Konoha has so much luck...

-=-=-

Naruto didn't pay any attention to the remaining matches, so i will resume them here.

Lee defeated a random gennin.

Gaara easily defeated Choji, but as he was reflecting his life choices he didn't try to kill him.

Kankuro tricked Tenten with his puppet, poisoning her, thus winning by default.

Temari fought a kusa nin and made short work of her.

Shikamaru fought the remaining kusa nin that tried to play smart, just for Shikamaru to outsmart his outsmarting.

-=-=-

When Hinata woke up she was at the hospital, Naruto was sleeping at a chair by the side of the hospital bed, it was almost the next morning already...

SIDE STORY: THE TALE OF A SHADOW CLONE 1

clone POV

Im a shadow clone, i am on a very important mission.

The main body sent me to find a special place, a village were we could find a technique that could change everything for us...

I am currently on my way to said village when i see a little kid in the middle of the forest... strange. i decided to aproach him/her to see if he/she was lost.

"hey kid, what are you doing here in the middle of the forest?" i asked the kid, as the kid turned to me i heard the voice, definitely a boy, speak

"Im lost... Do you know where we are?" the kid asked, looking at him he seems malnourished, he must have been loat for some time already...

"We are at the (don't know the direction) side of the country of fire, in between konoha and the lost forest (non cannon just made this forest up)" i answered and saw his eyes glint.

"So we are close to my home, i live in the village of apples, its in between the lost forest and the land of tea, can you help me reach there?" Well i do have a mission but to let a kid in the middle of a forest would not let me sleep peacefully at night,

"i can, wait here" i flicker at a nerby pond to fin an animal to hunt, and find a deer 'that will do'

After killing the deer i return to were the boy is and prepare a campfire to roast some meat to him and me, i dont really need to eat as i am a clone but its good anyway...

Aftet we ate, we started travelling in the direction of his home... its not really that far from the village i need to go, would be about one week from his village to there...
