(Whoosh!)
Tobirama appeared at the railway construction site with Shikamaru in tow.
"Hmm?" Hashirama turned back.
"Brother, The fourth needs your presence," Tobirama conveyed.
"The Fourth?" Hashirama frowned following which he quickly used his sensing abilities.
"Looks like the Seventh is out of control," Hashirama frowned after a quick observation.
"…" Tobirama waited for Hashirama's response on the matter. Though Minato had requested for help, he knew from the battle at the Chūnin stadium that unless Shū overshadowed Naruto's soul, Hashirama couldn't come in contact in contact with Naruto.
Hashirama, at this moment, reached into his pocket.
"I had found this earlier," Hashirama said as he took out a rock.
"Brother!"
"We don't hav-" Tobirama paused to observe the rock further.
His eyes widened.
"Crystals?" Tobirama asked.
"Indeed," Hashirama nodded.
"It's unfortunate that the Seventh's own got crushed," Tobirama shook his head.
Shikamaru, on the other hand, was anxious.
("What happened in the time Naruto was silent…") Shikamaru thought.
"Brother, leave this to me and go help the fourth out," Hashirama said as he jumped away from his spot.
"Where are you going, brother?" Tobirama asked.
"I am bringing someone who can help us out!" Hashirama shouted back as he continued to travel in another direction.
Tobirama turned back to see Shikamaru.
"Boy, Is there anything you know about this?" Tobirama asked.
"Unfortunately No, Lord Second," Shikamaru shook his head.
"All right, for now just head over to the Hokage's office," Tobirama said as he teleported.
"…" Shikamaru could only watch silently as Tobirama left, leaving Shikamaru all alone in a place he did not know about.

Back in the training field…
Sasuke frowned upon seeing Neji smile at him.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"Hehe,"
"You're within the area of my Eight Trigrams," Neji explained.
"Huh?" Sasuke stared at Neji crouching down and extending his hands out, the right hand behind him with the palm facing out and the left hand with its palm facing Sasuke.
Lee became excited.
("Neji did not get to show this to anyone till today,") Lee thought as he stared at the match more excited than ever before.
("Whatever it is, I am ready…") Sasuke was on guard against any unexpected attacks.
"Now," Neji took a few steps towards Sasuke.
*Sh!*
Sasuke's Sharingan saw the chakra concentrated on Neji's fingertips.
("Is this a special technique?") Sasuke thought.
"Eight trigrams,"
Neji announced following which he took a step towards Sasuke with two hands, each having two fingers upright approach with a high velocity.
"Two p-" Neji stopped.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"Sasuke, you must know that if a Byakugan cannot see the chakra network of a human body, it is probably a genjutsu," Neji said as he turned around.
"oh?" Sasuke was surprised, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt two places on his body struck.
"two palms," Neji smiled.
"What?" Sasuke was shocked; meanwhile, Lee, who stood by the side, shook his head.
("Looks like Sasuke-kun is going to lose,") Lee thought back to the time Neji explained how the technique worked to him.
The reason why no one had witnessed Neji perform this move was that in the previous timeline, Neji had demonstrated this move for the first time in the Chūnin Exam arena. In this current timeline, Naruto had already defeated Hiashi who wielded the technique thus this hidden card turned to be useless But now was the correct time to demonstrate it first hand to a person who had never seen it before…
Sasuke who bore the brunt of the first two palms twisted his facial expression in irritation of not being able to revolve his chakra like before.
However, time waited for no one as Neji continued to move in with his next set.
"four palms," Neji struck four more chakra points in addition to the two from before effectively slowing down the revolution of chakra within Sasuke's chakra network.
("Damn it,") Sasuke could only curse himself as he helplessly watched Neji take a step forward while pushing Sasuke's own with his consecutive strikes.
"eight palms,"
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
"sixteen palms,"
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
"thirty-two palms,"
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Tk! Tk! Tk! Tk!
Sasuke's entire chakra network was completely sealed.
"haaa…" Neji took a deep breath as he returned to his primary battle stance as he stood opposite to Sasuke.
< Eight Trigrams - Sixty Four Palms! > Neji announced slowly in his mind as he stared at Sasuke's chakra network which seemed to be devoid of movement of any chakra.
"ugh!" Sasuke grunted as he tried to movie his chakra once again only to be met with failure.
"The match is over," Neji said as he exited his battle stance and turned to walk towards Lee.
Lee was awakened from his stupor of seeing Neji execute his battle technique,
"Ahem,"
"The winner is.."
"WAIT!" Sasuke shouted before Lee could announce.
"Hm?" Neji turned back only to see that there were minuscule amounts of purple color chakra that seemed to gather around Sasuke slowly.
This was visible only to Neji due to his Byakugan.
"What is that?" Neji murmured to himself…

Hidden Leaf General Hospital…
(Bang!)
"Tsunade-sama,"
"Hinata is missing!" Shizune exclaimed.
"What?" Tsunade stood up in shock.
("What is Naruto doing? I told him to call me once she wakes up…") Tsunade thought following which she looked at Shizune.
"Where's Naruto?" Tsunade asked.
"Naruto is not in the room either,"
"I've asked the staff to search the entire building if we need to," Shizune informed.
Tsunade was puzzled.
("Even if she's his wife, there are proper procedure to things…") Tsunade thought as she stepped away from her desk.
"Shizune-san," Ino, Karin and Sakura greeted.
"Out of my way!" Tsunade shouted as she stomped her way out.
"Tsunade," an aged voice called out.
"Geezer," Tsunade lowered her head to see her teacher Hiruzen, who was half her size standing right in front of her.
"Hinata is safe," Hiruzen said.
"…" Tsunade stared at Hiruzen in silence.
The same could be said for the rest of the girls in the room also.
"What do you mean by that?" Tsunade asked.
"I shall explain," Hiruzen said as he walked to the table.
Tsunade shifted her gaze to Shizune.
Shizune, who was used to Tsunade's gestures, instantly understood that the three girls had to be driven out.
However, just as Shizune turned around, she witnessed Karin fall down on the floor.
"Karin-chan," Sakura, Ino, and Shizune appeared right beside her.
"AhaahaaAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Karin screamed desperately.
"What's happening to her?" Tsunade was concerned as well; however, Hiruzen's calm expression told her otherwise.
"Looks like the girl can sense it…" Hiruzen lowered his cap.
On the floor, Karin's pupils trembled with fear as her senses were able to feel an incredibly dense killing intent outside the village.
("T-This aura, 'it's definitely N-Naruto…")
("But, this intent, is more dreadful than the one on the bridge…") Karin thought back to the time where Naruto released a powerful killing intent at Takeuchi on the other side of the bridge.
Even though the killing intent was dense and robust like that of a seasoned killer, the one that Naruto released now was on so many levels higher…
"Tsunade-sama…" Shizune looked at Tsunade for instructions on Karin's dilemma.
Tsunade pointed at Shizune, Sakura, and Ino.
"You three leave the room," Tsunade commanded.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama," The three immediately left the room.
Tsunade then turned towards Hiruzen only to see that he put a crystal ball on her desk which showed an image of Naruto staring at Minato with eyes filled with endless bloodlust.
—————————————
Outside the village…
Minato stared at Naruto, observing the eyes of endless bloodlust.
He seemed to be waiting for a response of some sort as he stood there like a statue.
"Minato-san," Shū called out as he right beside Minato.
"What did you find out?" Minato asked.
"The reason why Naruto went berserk is that…"
"that...?" Minato asked impatiently.
"His granddaughter Azumi was brutally murdered," Shū replied.
"WHAT?" Minato was shocked speechless.
Minato had the impression that he had seen all of Naruto's memories except for some private moments, but this new information was like a magician pulling a live rabbit out of a small hat.
(BOOM!!!) Naruto sent a sudden shockwave.
< Flying Thunder God - Guiding Thunder Formation! >
Minato immediately summoned a teleportation barrier to direct the attack away into another location.
(BOOM!)
Just as the attack passed through the barrier, a bit of it blasted Minato who was behind the barrier to smithereens…
…
Meanwhile, back in the training field outside the village,
Lee stared at Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun,"
"Don't you thin-"
"Lee!"
"I haven't lost yet!" Sasuke shouted as he opened his eyes to reveal his Sage and Sharing mode eyes.
("What are those eyes?") Lee became curious upon seeing the yellow sharing eyes that had a narrow vertical slit-like pupil.
"huh?" Neji was surprised to see Sasuke standing up again, with his violet type chakra following the internal layout of Sasuke's chakra network.
("What kind of chakra is that?") Neji was confused.
However, before they could comprehend anything, a portal opened up almost a hundred and fifty meters away from them.
(BOOM!) A massive shockwave emerged out, to which the three of them stared wide-eyed.
