What's Beyond (English version)

On a dirt road you can see how Naruto was walking aimlessly, he didn't know what he could do now. 

He's no longer a Konoha shinobi, so he can't come back just like that. At least with the trick his clone pulled. In the best of cases they believe him dead and leave him alone

At worst, they look for it by leaving home, which is more likely. But that will be when he notices his absence after burying Danzo.

(Naruto believes Danzo is dead, he has no knowledge of the Izanagi) 

But now there is the most important question. What will he do now? Or what can it do? His goal or dream was always to become Hokage, but he can't do that. 

There's no way he's going to another Shinobi village, he doesn't know how they'll treat him. Or maybe they recognize him as their father's son and try to kill him.

-You could go to that town where you fought with that swordsman-

-You mean Wave-

-I don't know what that town is called, so let's say yes-

-And why go there?-

-I don't know, but where else to go? Or do you have a plan that I'm not aware of?

-No, I don't have any plans. And it's as good an idea as any other-

So Naruto began his way to Wave, he hoped that there he would find clues to what he is going to do now. 

_ 3 hours from _

Konoha council room 

-So the Inuzuka have not been able to find a trace of the culprit of the explosion- Tsunade would say, looking directly at Tsume. 

-No Hokage-sama, due to the different smells that were in the place, it seems that it was a base of some kind, also the smell of smoke and flames further prevents our ability to locate a possible suspect-

Tsunade just nodded.

-And your Hiashi clan, haven't you been able to find anything either?-

-Unfortunately not Hokage-sama, the area is full of chakra. But in a strange way-

-Explains rare-

-I wouldn't know how to express it Hokage-sama, I could only say that it has a twist-

-A twist?-

-Yes Hokage-sama, normally when chakra explodes or spreads around a place, it looks like fog. But this time it has a constant turn, but it stops more and more. Currently it continues without stopping-

-I understand. But any idea of ​​how this explosion of such magnitude was generated?

…

…

…

-Seriously, no one has an idea?-

-Hokage-sama, the problem is the lack of chakra. First the barrier team did not detect an intruder. Second, to generate an explosion of such magnitude he had to use a lot of chakra, but there is almost nothing in the area. So we don't have the slightest idea how such an explosion was generated.

-I understand Shibi, thanks for your explanation. Then we have to wait for Danzo to wake up from his coma and tell us who the culprit is. For now everyone can leave.

So everyone left the meeting room.

_ Great Naruto Bridge _

-Did they name the bridge after me?-

-Are you surprised?-

-Yes, I never expected that. I mean, what have I done?

-You gave them hope boy, you inspired them to seek freedom and never let themselves be trampled again-

-I repeat it again Kyubi, you are very talkative lately-

-Just cross the damn bridge (Shitty brat)-

The Kyubi would think the last thing 

So Naruto would cross the big Naruto bridge 

He himself had to admit again that it was an incredible bridge, not only in its structure, which looks solid and durable, but also in design, despite being a simple design it was very nice.

When he finally entered the town he could see the big difference from the first time he entered the town. You could see shops open and selling food, utensils and even a souvenir shop 

Children ran laughing down the street and adults looked happy working. They all looked healthier. There were still homeless people or people who seemed to have a difficult time

But that was obvious, they spent years being exploited by Gato, I couldn't expect that in less than a year things would improve for everyone. But he was happy to see a change, it showed that his battle was not in vain

In the end Naruto shook his head, although he wanted to stay and continue seeing everything, he still wanted to do something more important and that was to visit Haku's grave, she was the one who taught him how one became truly strong. 

So he began his way to the tomb, taking the clearest streets, he wanted to go unnoticed. By the time Konoha starts looking for him, he didn't want them to hurt the town or ruin its growth. 

_ 10 minutes from _

Naruto finally arrived at Zabuza and Haku's grave, but there was a small problem, Zabuza's sword was missing. That made him serious. Who would steal that sword? I didn't know if they were Kiri's ninjas, but I had to find out. 

So using a henge he transformed himself into an average young man, with average hair, eyes, face, skin, height and appearance. someone easy to forget

Thus he set off again towards the town. 

_ Inside a Bar _

-You know, I just went to the grave of the one they say was a Ninja, but it seemed like something was missing-

-Ah, you mean the ice tomb-

-Ice grave?-

-Yes, it is said that it is always cold there, no matter how hot it is around it, it is always cool-

-Incredible. But how does that happen?-

-No one knows, it just happens and that's it. But if something is missing-

-So, what would it be?-

-A sword-

-A sword you say-

-Yes, a sword that looked like a butcher knife. But recently a gang came to rob it, they are not very strong and they live on the outskirts of town, but no one wants to mess with them-

-Ah, thank you very much. But if you'll excuse me, I have to go. I'm going in Kiri's direction. But I stopped to see the grave-

-If I were you, I would be a little careful, they have just come out of a civil war, right now they are very paranoid-

-Thanks for the advice man-

-You're welcome, goodbye- 

Thus, after leaving the bar and entering an alley, a cloud of smoke was produced, showing that it was Naruto. 

-So some bandits huh-

From those words Naruto ran across the rooftops towards the outskirts of Wave. 

_ 5 Minutes _

I don't know if it took too long to get to the band's base. But he was running at shinobi speed 

When he arrived at the base he was not surprised that it was not protected, who would face them. They weren't harming the town, so the residents don't care as long as they don't overdo it. 

But he cares, more than anything because Haku loved Zabuza too much, he personally respects him, he showed that what defines someone is not their words, but their actions. And that anyone can redeem themselves, even those who were considered a demon 

Taking initiative, the infiltration began, he advanced little by little, avoiding the few guards he had, but something stopped him and that was seeing a door that was more protected than the others. Since he had two guards. So there had to be something important there. 

Using his speed, he knocked out the two guards and easily opened the door. What he saw inside disgusted him. There were women tied up, their eyes were dead, and what he saw next filled him with rage. They also had girls. 

Thanks to Kami they seemed healthy and without injuries 

He stood still watching the scene in front of him and filling him with repulsion, everything was absolute silence until one of the girls saw him.

-Please no more, they already used us today, let us rest. Please-

The girl would say through tears. After those words, all the others turned to look at him, with fear, hatred or resignation. 

-I don't…. I'm not going to abuse you, I'm going to rescue you-

-Oh, how cute the child is, you really want us to believe that you are going to rescue us-

One of the girls would cynically say, she was one of the oldest in this and had already lost hope 

-And-

…

…

…

They all stayed silent looking into the boy's eyes, it made them tremble, they were cold, so cold that they felt like it was freezing their soul.

-I'm going to take them out, but first I have to do something, I'll be right back-

So Naruto left the room, but not before untying the girls. Any other boy would be embarrassed, ashamed, or even excited, to see naked girls. But at that very moment that didn't matter to her, she had something more important in mind and she was liberal. 

He sold the guards still knocked out, he took one of the Kunai that he had in his bag and was ready to kill one of the two, when the Kunai was about to touch the bandit, he stopped.

He couldn't do it, not because he didn't want to kill him, but because of what it meant, he himself would become a murderer. 

-What's stopping you, Naruto?-

-I don't know- I would say I'm on the verge of crying. 

-You don't know? or Don't you want to know?

-I don't want to know, I don't want to know that from this I will become a cold-blooded murderer-

…

…

…

-And I'm afraid-

-Of what Naruto? What are you afraid of?

-That I like it, that I enjoy taking lives, that in the end I become the demon that everyone in the village thinks I am- I would say releasing tears 

Kyubi was quiet, she understood what was happening, although Naruto tried to hide it, he was affected by the villagers' actions. No matter how strong he may seem on the outside, he is still just a child, a child who suffered too many traumas. 

-What else are you afraid of Naruto?-

-To be left alone, so that people are afraid of me if I become a murderer-

-I will never abandon Naruto-

-That?-

-That I will never abandon Naruto, no matter how ruthless you become or how many lives you take. I promise to always be by your side-

-Because?-

-Because I understand what you're saying, I know what it's like to go through that fear, that's why I will always be by your side, but you have to do this Naruto. These men abused those women and who knows how many more. If we let them free, how many more will they hurt?

…

…

…

-Do you promise to never leave me?-

-I swear Naruto, but this is necessary, it is a necessary evil that you have to do, because in exchange for one life, you are saving thousands. Believe me, I know that no one regrets what they did-

-As?-

-After he explained, but right now you have to do it Naruto-

So Naruto, gathering all the will he had, killed the first bandit, then the second. Grabbing another Kunai he began to run almost throughout the base. Quickly but effectively killing all the bandits 

At this very moment he does not feel that he repents, he does not feel pity nor will he have it, as Kyubi said, it was a necessary evil 

He advanced through the base, without fear or regret, to where the bandit leader was theoretically located, who was being guarded by another guard. So using a rasengan he made the guy break down the door and kill the guy at the same time 

When he was inside, he had to jump to the side, to avoid a slash that would split him in half if he didn't get out. 

-Wow, wow, wow. Look what we have here, a little shit who thinks he's a hero. Tell me who are you?

Naruto saw the man who had kubikiribocho, he was tall measuring 2 meters tall, a body full of pure muscles, he had a face full of scars

-I say again brat, who are you?-

Naruto just looked into the guy's eyes. 

-So a silence eh... well, the truth is I didn't care about your name, but I'm going to kill you brat-

Thus he launched another slash towards Naruto, but he dodged it again, but he acted immediately, so he pushed himself forward and used a Kunai to stab him near the liver. 

Agh 

-Damn fucking brat!!!-

The leader of the bandits would shout angrily. 

He would try to use one of his hands to grab Naruto, but he, being faster, was able to avoid the subject's grip, but had to protect himself from a horizontal slash. 

Thus throwing him towards the other side of the room, but Naruto using the little time to adjust perpendicularly towards the wall, using chakra he stayed stuck to the wall 

-*Tsk* I had to know, only a ninja was going to face me. But, it doesn't matter, I'm going to kill you-

So running towards Naruto the leader of the bandits tried to cut Naruto vertically, the latter tired of dodging took two swords that were on the wall as decoration to stop the slash, crossing his two swords 

That left his arms a little numb, the difference in strength was noticeable. So he concentrated chakra towards his arms, pushing the leader out of his personal space. 

Pushing off the wall he went straight towards the bandit leader, trying to defend himself he put the kubikiribocho on the flat side as a shield, so he used a twist on himself. He turned to the right side, by the time the guy realized his movement it was too late. Naruto cut off his head with one of the swords. 

The last thing the guy saw were just blue eyes, a light covered Naruto's face, you could only see blue eyes colder than the sea. 

_30 minutes later_

Outside the bandits' hideout you can see the girls all gathered waiting for Naruto to come out.

Some were crying and hugging each other with happiness, finally they were free from that hell. The little ones hugged the big ones

Until finally Naruto was leaving the lair with some clones carrying some sacks. 

They all wondered what those things were until one of the little ones finally asked

-What is that onii-chan?-

-This, my dear dwarf, is money. To be more specific the money these bastards had saved-

-I am not a dwarf Onii-chan, I am still very young-

-And that's why I call you dwarf, you still have to grow-

Maou, the girl would make a fuss, her onii-chan was right. 

-Eto... but so that the money-

This time the one I spoke was one of the greatest 

-This is for you, so that you can look for your relatives, and if you don't have one at least to start a new life-

This time it was another girl's turn to speak. 

-Why would you do something like that for strangers?-

I would ask suspiciously 

-Because I want them to be free-

That made everyone open their eyes. 

-Wh…what?

I would ask again, but this time with amazement 

-I want everyone to be free, to be free to choose their destiny and their future. Don't let your past mark you. I can't tell how they feel, no one can. Not even you yourselves, despite living the same thing, did not think or feel exactly the same. I can't help you overcome your past or change it, but I can help improve your future-

…

…

…

-Woah, onii-chan is amazing. I want to be like onii-chan when I grow up...-

-No-

Naruto would say seriously looking at the girl. 

-But... I want to be a hero like onii-chan-

-I'm not a hero-

-So what are you onii-chan?-

-A murderer-

With that statement he left the beach in silence. 

-That's why I don't want them to be like me. I don't want anyone to do what I did-

-But... you are a hero onii-chan-

- Hero? You say-

The girl just nodded. 

-No, no, no- Naruto would say while shaking his head -I'm not a hero, that's why I don't want them to be inspired by me. You have a future ahead of you and you can be whatever you want. But despite that, I don't want to see them with their hands stained with blood, I don't want to see how they lost their innocence. That's what I'm here for... The demon, the murderer-

The little ones started to cry, they were hurt by the words their onii-chan said to them. While the older ones felt sorry for the boy, he already had to take a life at that age 

-But onii-chan is not a demon- the girl shouted while crying- Onii-chan is my hero, and that's why for me you are not a demon, you are an angel. Our angel- the girl would continue screaming 

Naruto could only open his eyes in amazement, despite seeing lives taken and seeing himself as a demon, she still saw him as an Angel. 

-The girl is not far from the truth. Because even though you murdered those people. You don't feel pleasure for having done it, you feel guilt for what you did, even though they deserved it. So no Naruto, you are not a demon- I would say it would be the Kyubi -But you would be more of a fallen angel- In the end I would say it with mockery towards its container 

-Pso onii-chan... I PROMISE TO YOU TO BE HAPPY AND TO LIVE FREE AND NOT TO BECOME A MURDERER-

-Me too-

-Me too-

-Me too-

So one by one, each girl there promised Naruto not to become a murderer with tears in their eyes, for them he was not a demon, he was an Angel and his onii-chan and only for that reason would they keep their promise. 

Meanwhile, Naruto could only open his eyes, just like the older girls, they never expected those reactions from the girls. 

-You may not realize it, Naruto, but you have one of the most dangerous abilities in the world. And it's changing people-

They would be the thoughts of the Kyubi 

Naruto could only smile at the girls, so they would stop crying... but that was a bad idea, they all came over to hug him. In the end Naruto also cried, despite committing his sin, he saved some innocent souls. And for him that was enough 

_Next morning_

At Zabuza's tomb, Naruto could be seen taking out a sealing scroll and opening it

Thus taking out kubikiribocho and putting him back in the grave

-Here you have Zabuza, your sword. Even though I don't get to know you, I respect you. I respect the fact that they saved Haku, she taught me what true strength was-

Naruto would speak melancholy 

-Ironically I became a lost ninja like you... or maybe different. The truth is, I don't know that fact... and I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go... I'm lost and I'm terrified.
