Konoha's New Yellow Flash

Ultimate Defense: Zero Blind Spot!

"GO NARUTO!" I yelled as he and his clones rushed Neji. I watched anxiously started beating on a Naruto. I bit my lip.

Neji is skilled. He may be even stronger than Sasuke, no, he is stronger than Sasuke. And Naruto . . . no! I have to believe Naruto will win. I can't just base everything on facts and statistics. That's my brother down there! He can do it.

Neji smirked. "You think I can be fooled with a trick like that?" He ran pass a lot of Naruto's going to one that was held back behind the others.

And then he hit a chakra point. I clenched my fists. Naruto. "You're the one keeping out of range for fear of me striking your chakra points. Like this. The more the others attack, the more you stand out for holding back."

Naruto's started disappearing. My heart was beating so loud I'm pretty sure Shikamaru could hear it. This match is killing me. I can't go down there and destroy Neji. We're not little kids anymore. Sure, we're young, but once you're a ninja you aren't considered as such.

You are a shinobi. This is Naruto's battle. His and only his. "You're the real one aren't you?" Neji asked.

But I can always destroy him later. Being ninja's or not, that's my big brother down there. No one does this to him. Until then, I just have to let Naruto do this on his own.

Neji stepped back again as Naruto bent over. "I told you it was pointless." This cocky bastard. Naruto started chuckling. "Oh yeah? And I told you it was a mistake to count me out." Naruto looked up at Neji, a certain shine in his eyes.

And then he poofed. My eyes widened. A grin spread out onto my face. That's my big brother.

The real Naruto went to punch Neji. "You thought I would be too much of a chicken to attack you myself?! Well think again!" When Naruto punched, Neji spun and a cyclone of chakra pushed Naruto away.

I grit my teeth in annoyance. Neji still had that smug look on his face. A little crater formed around Neji from that rotation of chakra.

Naruto's determination didn't let up though. He created more clones and surrounded Neji.

The Naruto's went to attack and Neji did the same rotation thing. Damn it! He's getting on my damn nerves! I have zero tolerance for him right now.

"This is the end for you. You're in range and you can't escape my eight trigrams." Neji went into a weird position. "Gentle Fist Art: 8-Trigrams 64-Palms." No. NARUTO! I bit my lip and clenched my fists. I couldn't disrupt the fight. And I couldn't let out the scream to warn him.

I need to stay put. Neji launched.

He then started hitting Naruto fast and hard. I went to jump but Shikamaru grabbed me and held me back and covered my mouth. Nobody noticed us as he covered my mouth to muffle my curses on the Hyuga.

Rage boiled within me, mixed in with worry. Naruto.

He fell back and lay still for a bit. Oh Naruto. The proctor walked up to see if the match is over. I managed to get Shikamaru to let me go. I had calmed a bit too where I knew I couldn't go down there. Shikamaru sensed it and let me go.

"Looks like it's over." The proctor said. I started taking deep breaths. Calm down. "I have now struck all 64 of your chakra points. You're lucky to still be breathing." My eyes snapped open and my body started shaking violently.

Stay Miyu. Stay. Shikamaru eyed me, ready to stop me if necessary. And it'll be necessary.

Naruto struggled to stand back up. "Well, must be frustrating. To realize of utterly hopeless it all was. This little dream of yours. You thought you could succeed through hard work alone. That's only an illusion."

This again. Watch it Hyuga. You're pissing me off.

Naruto continued struggling. I closed my eyes and focused on my curse mark. I will learn everything about Neji Hyuga. Memories and jutsu's flowed into my head. All of Neji. What he knows, what he remembers, his feelings.

"NARUTO! Stand up! You're not going to just lay there and take it! Who is he to tell you how to live! He's so stuck on destiny, he won't accomplish anything if he holds the hatred in his heart that he has for the main branch!"

Neji looked up in me, anger evident on his face, and surprise. "He's nothing but a little boy, clinging onto the past! You're going to be Hokage! Show him and everyone else who you are! Or they'll always treat you like they do now! Show them that Naruto Uzumaki is the number one ninja! And start by wiping the smug look off his face! He will never win if he's still clinging to the past! But you, you're striving towards the future! You can do it Naruto!"

Naruto lifted his had to see me. Then he started to slowly stand. A smile graced my face. Naruto was standing.

"I told you. I just don't know when to give up." Please, please, if there is a god out there, watch over Naruto. Please. He's my big brother.

Neji tried to convince Naruto to give up. Naruto only responded how Neji had mocked, beaten, and was cruel to Hinata. I know why, but he just doesn't know when to let go.

Neji showed us the Curse Mark on his forehead. He told us the story of how he had got it. I closed my eyes as he told the story. The story I already knew thanks to the mark.

Yes, he had it rough, but there is always someone who has had it even rougher. And they go on, handling it better. But he chooses to weep in his own self-pity. You either move on, or stay the way you are.

Sometimes I wonder if this is all worth it. Neji's story only reminded me how even the leaf was a corrupted place. Even those who claim to be your friend, your comrade, even they will destroy you. What's the point in it all? All I truly need is Naruto, I need to protect him from the world.

But he needs to grow learn about it as well. Even I know this. And even I have accepted others. But still, this is a cruel and horrid world. Darkness consumes the hearts and souls, but there is a light.

My light is Naruto. And my support is Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. I know all too well how horrible this world is, but I manage to overcome it and still hate it. I know that I cannot do anything about it. I've made peace with it. But Neji has not.

He has not made peace with how the world worked. And I don't know if he'll ever be. And that's why he can't beat Naruto. Those who cling to the past can never enter the future.
