"Kurenai! Back off!" Asuma yelled, his voice sharp with urgency.
"I'll back off when you tell me the truth!" Kurenai retorted, stepping away—only to realize the prisoners had already encircled her.
Fūjin slammed a fist into Asuma's chest while the crimson-eyed seagull on Kurenai's shoulder flapped its wings violently. "Geass!"
Fūjin charged ahead, then turned sharply toward Mizuki like a predator spotting prey.
"Damn it, a Genjutsu?" Mizuki cursed, leaping away. "Everyone, attack together!"
Immediately, the entire squad lunged. Asuma gripped his chakra blades tightly, chakra visibly flowing over the steel. "
With a quick motion, the chakra-extended blade cut down several prisoners with ease. "Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning jutsu!"
He expelled a cloud of superheated ash that spread in front of him. Then, with clenched teeth, he ignited it.
Boom!
Screams echoed as prisoners were blasted away, bodies flung like rag dolls.
On the other side, Kurenai handled things more smoothly. Anyone who made eye contact with her was caught in a visual illusion, turning on each other in confusion.
"Beware of her genjutsu!" Mizuki bellowed. "Everyone! Use area-of-effect ninjutsu!"
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!"
"Water Style: Wild Water Wave!"
A barrage of ninjutsu soared toward Kurenai. She had no choice but to cancel the Geass cast. As the illusion broke, Fūjin and Raijin snapped out of it.
"You bastards! Our food!" Fūjin roared, and without warning, he grabbed Raijin by the leg and hurled him toward Asuma.
"Haha! This is fun!" Raijin barreled toward Asuma at full speed, delivering a vicious punch.
"What the—?!" Asuma barely blocked with his forearms, but the sheer force sent him flying, blood spilling from his mouth.
"Kurenai! Be careful! Their strength… it's not far from the Fifth Hokage's monstrous power!"
His warning drew the attention of the brothers. Fūjin and Raijin turned their gazes to Kurenai, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
"Kurenai!" Asuma shouted again.
She turned at his voice—only to see Raijin flying at her with fists drawn back. "Not good!"
Instinctively, Kurenai shielded herself with her arms and closed her eyes.
Boom!
Silence.
Kurenai slowly opened her eyes, surprised not to feel pain. A figure stood before her, a flowing Hokage-style cloak rippling in the wind. "Yo, Kurenai. Long time no see."
"Naruto...-nii?" she asked in shock. But as she looked closer, she saw it was Uzumaki Naruto himself. Her brows furrowed. "Why are you here?"
Naruto grinned. "Just taking a walk, passing through."
With a single flick of his arm, Naruto hurled Raijin away, the brute crashing into a wall with a thunderous boom.
Mizuki's expression twisted into mania upon seeing Naruto. "The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki! You… it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Orochimaru-sama would've given me real power! Fūjin! Raijin! Kill him!"
"Okay, big bro!" the two brothers shouted and charged straight at Naruto.
Naruto sighed, clearly annoyed. "So troublesome… Eighth Inner Gates … open!"
With a burst of power, Naruto vanished and reappeared mid-air, kicking Fūjin across the battlefield. "Rasengan!"
He whirled around, slamming a Rasengan into Raijin's gut, blasting him back with enough force to dent the walls.
"Oww, big bro! My stomach hurts!" Raijin howled in pain.
"You damn brat, I'm mad now!" Fūjin raged, eyes bloodshot.
Naruto's eyebrows lifted in surprise. "They're pretty durable, huh?" He took a step forward to finish the fight.
But just then, a scream echoed nearby—Asuma was being overwhelmed by the remaining prisoners.
Naruto blinked. "Oops. Totally forgot about you…"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire!"
A stream of fireballs shot from Naruto's mouth, scattering the mob surrounding Asuma.
The prisoners dodged the flames, jumping away.
"Ugh…" Asuma exhaled smoke and collapsed.
"Haha! My bad!" Naruto scratched his head, looking sheepish.
"Not gonna let it happen again," he muttered, his eyes darkening. "Some people... you just can't lay hands on. Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Massive trees erupted from the ground, ripping through the prison complex and ensnaring every last criminal.
"What?! Impossible!" Mizuki screamed. "How the hell do you know the First Hokage's technique?!"
Behind Naruto, Kurenai's heart was pounding. "You're…"
Before she could finish, two deafening cracks echoed as Fūjin and Raijin tore through the wooden restraints.
(Narrator's note: Please explain how these two idiots' buttholes can break through Wood Style.)
Naruto's expression shifted to annoyance. His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan opened, the pattern spinning wildly. "Seventh Gate of Shock—open! Morning Peacock!"
He rocketed forward, fists blazing with friction-induced fire from compressed air cannons.
"AHHH!" the two brothers screamed as the attack landed, finally knocking them unconscious.
With the threat neutralized, Naruto turned back to Kurenai. "Long time no see, Kurenai."
"You are…" Her voice trembled with disbelief.
Naruto stepped forward, arms outstretched, ready to catch her in a warm embrace if she burst into tears.
"Wait… Are you the son of Naruto-nii?!" Kurenai blurted out, pointing at him with wide eyes.
Naruto nearly tripped. It felt like a herd of wild alpacas trampled through the flower fields of his mind.
Later, as Naruto dragged the half-conscious Asuma toward the hospital, Kurenai finally accepted it.
"So… your name is actually Uzumaki Naruto? The son of Namikaze Minato?" Kurenai asked, her expression frozen in a mix of awe and confusion.
Naruto sighed, covered in stress lines. "Is there a problem?"
Kurenai suddenly burst into laughter, holding her stomach: "Hahaha! Your father is your brother! And you're your own father and brother!"
Naruto: "…"
Without hesitation, he moved behind her in a flash and shut her up with a kiss.
"Mmph~" Kurenai's eyes widened as her face turned crimson. She bit his lip in retaliation and sprinted away without looking back.
Naruto licked the blood off his lip with a smirk. "Heh… fiery woman. I like that."

Hokage Office
"So this is why you destroyed the entire high-security section of the Konoha Prison?!" Tsunade roared, yanking Naruto by the ear.
"It's gone, it's gone! I was just worried about Kurenai's safety!" Naruto argued. "Besides, I stopped a mass breakout. Shouldn't that earn me a reward?!"
Tsunade let go and smiled sweetly. "Oh? What kind of reward do you want?"
Faced with her sudden sweetness, Naruto shivered. "I… I bled for Konoha."
"Go fix the prison, you brat!!" Tsunade exploded.
Naruto didn't wait another second before bolting out of the office.
"Still the same little menace," Tsunade muttered, rolling her eyes. A smile slowly formed before fading into a wistful sigh. She touched her cheek gently, lost in thought.

Back at the prison site…
"Wood Style: Super Deluxe Multi-House Technique!"
A luxurious, three-story villa-shaped prison erupted from the ground.
On his way home, Naruto scratched his head. "Now what was I forgetting? Hmm… oh well. Can't be that important."

Konoha's Third Training Ground
"Thirteen thousand six hundred seventy-five! Thirteen thousand six hundred seventy-six! Thirteen thousand six hundred seventy-seven…"
Under the night sky, a lone figure struggled to finish his push-ups.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?! WHEN DID YOU EVEN GET HERE!!!???"
