Run Away, and I'll Let You Go

"Nine-Tails…"

"Nine-Tailed Fox…"

Hyuga Setsuna crumpled to the ground, staring in horror at the demonic Uzumaki Naruto, regretting everything.

He recognized it.

That violent, blood-like Chakra was identical to the Nine-Tails' Chakra during the Nine-Tails' attack.

He had previously thought Uzumaki Naruto hadn't lost control, but now it was clear Uzumaki Naruto had deliberately suppressed the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

All to keep the Nine-Tails' Chakra from frightening the weakened Hyuga Hinata.

The realization sent shivers down Hyuga Setsuna's spine…

Now… Hyuga Hinata had been taken inside…

Only he remained…

"Gulp!"

Cold sweat beaded on Hyuga Setsuna's forehead. He swallowed hard, scrambling to his feet, using his hands and feet, putting all his strength into running away.

"Whoosh!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto watched Hyuga Setsuna with indifference. With a thought, a golden chain shot out from his back like a javelin.

"Splat!!!"

The Golden Chains pierced through Hyuga Setsuna's foot like a javelin, pinning him firmly to the ground, blood gushing out.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Hyuga Setsuna's eyes bulged, and he screamed in agony, clutching his right foot.

Uzumaki Naruto walked calmly over to Hyuga Setsuna, crouched slightly, placed his right hand on Hyuga Setsuna's shoulder, and said, "Where do you think you're going?!"

"You're not thinking of escaping, are you?! After everything you've done."

Hyuga Setsuna shivered all over. He turned around in terror, his gaze meeting Uzumaki Naruto's cold, crimson eyes.

"Uzumaki… Naruto…"

At that moment, Hyuga Setsuna felt genuine fear.

It wasn't the Nine-Tails' Chakra, but the boy, Uzumaki Naruto, himself. There was no emotion visible in those crimson eyes.

Hyuga Setsuna tentatively tried to move his foot, which was impaled by the golden chain, but a bone-chilling pain shot through his brain.

He couldn't move, nor could he channel even a trace of Chakra. It was all suppressed by the Adamantine Chains.

"You, you're crazy!! You can't hurt me!!! I'm a Ninja of the Hyuga Clan!!! If you hurt me, Lord Clan Head won't let you get away with it!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna roared, his face contorted in a sneer.

He was like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, his only hope to scare the boy with the name of the Clan Head.

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head, his crimson eyes looking towards the entrance of the courtyard.

"Adamantine Chains!"

He uttered a few words coldly, and Golden Chains shot out like golden dragons, rattling as they wrapped around a certain Hyuga Clan Ninja.

"Thud!"

The Hyuga Clan Ninja fell clumsily in front of Hyuga Setsuna.

Hyuga Setsuna's pupils constricted. He stared in disbelief at the middle-aged Ninja before him and blurted out, "Lord Clan Head!!!"

That's right.

The middle-aged Ninja, bound by golden chains like a dead pig, was none other than Hyuga Hiashi.

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi's face was beet red. He struggled desperately to break free from the golden chains, but it was useless, making him look like a worm.

"Uzumaki Naruto, let me go now."

Hyuga Hiashi roared in anger and humiliation.

He shouldn't have been defeated so easily, but Uzumaki Naruto's Adamantine Chains were too effective against Taijutsu users.

As soon as the Adamantine Chains touched someone, their Chakra would be instantly suppressed, turning them into an ordinary person with no way to fight back.

"Annoying!"

Uzumaki Naruto stared coldly at Hyuga Hiashi:

"You're Hinata's father, so I won't seriously injure you, but you're a terrible father, and I will punish you."

Hyuga Hiashi nearly spat blood from anger.

Not seriously injure me?!

I've broken four or five ribs, and all the bones in my legs and arms are fractured. Do you have to kill me for it to count as a serious injury?

"Wait..."

Punishment?!

Hyuga Hiashi stared at Uzumaki Naruto in horror.

Golden Chains rattled, instantly extending from Uzumaki Naruto to the sky, wrapping around Hyuga Hiashi's legs and hanging him upside down.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

"Uzumaki Naruto!!!"

Hyuga Hiashi felt his blood rush to his head, his fury almost driving him insane as he roared with heartbreaking anger.

How could he, the head of the Hyuga Clan, be so disgracefully hung in the sky?!

"Too loud!"

Uzumaki Naruto coldly extended his right hand. The Golden Chains seemed to turn into tentacles, directly piercing into Hyuga Hiashi's mouth.

"Mmmph mmmph..."

Hyuga Hiashi whimpered. The intense humiliation made him wish he could just faint on the spot.

Regret!!!

Remorse!!!

Hyuga Hiashi wasn't just regretting his actions; he wished he could go back to yesterday and kill himself in the Hokage's office.

Why did he ever try to stop Uzumaki Naruto and Hinata's relationship?!

Not only did he fail to protect Hyuga Hinata, but he also caused hundreds of Hyuga Clan ninja to be severely injured, and now he himself was hanging in mid-air.

It was truly a case of losing the battle and the war.

Damn it, damn it!!!

Hyuga Hiashi wished he could slap himself.

"..."

Hyuga Setsuna stared blankly at the clan head dangling in mid-air.

So, Uzumaki Naruto had literally fought his way in...

With his last shred of hope gone, Hyuga Setsuna's psychological defenses crumbled. Snot and tears streamed down his face as he pleaded, "Uzumaki Naruto, that was truly just normal training just now. Please let me go, I know I was wrong..."

Uzumaki Naruto gave a cold smile.

"Continue."

Hyuga Setsuna froze for a moment.

Uzumaki Naruto said coldly, "I told you to keep begging, and hit yourself hard. Maybe then I'll let you go."

Hyuga Setsuna was overjoyed. Without another word, he began slapping his own cheeks, pleading even harder.

"Slap! I truly, truly was wrong! Slap! I shouldn't have bullied the Main Family's young lady like that, and I certainly shouldn't have offended you. Please, please let me go..."

"Slap! Really, I truly know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again..."

"I'll apologize to the young lady! Slap! I'll kneel and apologize to the young lady. I'll never dare to punish her again..."

Watching Hyuga Setsuna relentlessly slapping his own cheeks, Hyuga Hiashi, hanging upside down in the sky, was filled with rage.

He knew why Uzumaki Naruto was so angry.

So, it was because this bastard had been secretly punishing Hinata.

And he... he only found out that Little Hinata was being secretly punished through Uzumaki Naruto...

Hyuga Hiashi gritted his teeth. He knew that because of the Branch Family and Main Family system, the Hyuga Branch Family had always harbored dissatisfaction, even resentment, towards the Hyuga Main Family.

But he never expected these bastards wouldn't dare to confront him, and instead vented their anger on seven-year-old Hinata.

Once I get down, I'm definitely going to teach that bastard a good lesson...

Hyuga Hiashi glared at Hyuga Setsuna, just as he heard Uzumaki Naruto's cold voice.

"Run!"

Hyuga Setsuna looked up at Uzumaki Naruto, his face filled with surprise.

Uzumaki Naruto pointed to the gate, only ten meters away, and gave a cold smile.

"Run. If you run out, I'll spare you."
