Chapter 95 — “Demon In Ring ”

  Rock Lee and Metal Lee move like blurs across the rocky training grounds. Sweat flies, fists crack through the air, echoes shaking the cliffside.

  Guy (in wheelchair, excited):

  “YES! Metal! MORE FIRE IN THOSE FISTS!”

  Metal grits his teeth, launching a roundhouse—Rock Lee catches it easily.

  Then—

  Daemon steps forward, fists clenched.

  Daemon:

  “Rock Lee grandpa… train me for three months.

  Pure taijutsu. And boxing.”

  Guy rolls forward, wheels screeching, eyes glowing with passion.

  Guy:

  “Rock Lee… polish the coal.

  As for ME—

  I shall carve the DIAMOND!”

  Rock Lee nods fiercely.

  Rock Lee:

  “Even better! Metal needed someone who can push him in pure taijutsu.

  Daemon—train with us. Day and night.”

  Metal Lee smirks:

  “Bring it on.”

  And the mountain shakes as their training begins.

  Naruto lounges on the sofa, drinking tea.

  Naruto:

  “Well… Daemon went straight to the Noble Green Beast of Konoha to train.”

  Yuta stretches, cracking his neck.

  Yuta:

  “Wheelchair or not, Guy-sensei is pure terror.

  He made a nobody like Rock Lee into a monster.

  And Daemon… Daemon has MY chakra and MY strength.”

  Boruto bursts in, raising a fist.

  Boruto:

  “I BET ON DAEMONNNN!!

  FROM PROUD UNCLEEEE BORUTOOOO!”

  Himawari:

  “Hawk slapped Mom…

  I wanna end him too.

  But boxing is a man’s match…

  So Daemon better destroy him.”

  Hinata giggles softly.

  Hinata:

  “I know he can.”

  Daemon and Metal Lee clash—

  BOOM!

  A shockwave blasts dust across the valley.

  Their punches create ear-deafening thunder.

  Guy laughs wildly.

  Guy:

  “YESSSS! Metal! Daemon!

  You two are becoming what I ALWAYS DREAMED!

  HAHAHAHAHA!”

  Rock Lee:

  “Metal wanted to create his own form…

  Well…

  Rest in peace, Hawk.”

  Daemon storms in, eyes burning.

  Daemon:

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  “Grandpa. Train me more.

  I’m ending Hawk myself.”

  Naruto smiles like a proud psycho father.

  Naruto:

  “Oh I LOVE this kid.”

  Sasuke crosses his arms.

  Sasuke:

  “Naruto… only taijutsu.

  If he learns jutsu, he’ll kill Hawk before the fight starts.”

  Naruto shrugs:

  “Yeah yeah. I know.”

  He pats Daemon’s head.

  Naruto:

  “Let’s train, champ.”

  Hawk sits on stage, sunglasses on, ego exploding.

  Hawk:

  “HAHAHAHA!

  THIS BOY GOT MUSCULAR!

  NO GIRL WILL LIKE YOU, KIDDO!”

  Girls squeal at Hawk flexing his muscles.

  Girls:

  “KYAAAA! So cool!!”

  Yoru laughs beside him.

  Yoru:

  “If he wins, Segawa’s influence in Konoha will drop!

  HAHAHAHA!”

  Across from them, Yuta holds Daemon’s hand and leans toward the mic.

  Yuta:

  “We already prepared an ambulance for Hawk…

  and his family.

  Because a death is MANDATORY today.

  He slapped my mom.

  I can’t hit a 10-year-old.

  But Daemon can.”

  Daemon nods with dead seriousness.

  Higarashi leans forward.

  Higarashi:

  “A cyborg punching an egoist… this will be fun.”

  Kimiko:

  “Hawk hurt Hinata.

  Being 10 doesn’t matter.”

  Aira:

  “He threw hot tea on Yuta…

  That hit Daemon’s heart.”

  The Kage—Gaara, Chōjūrō, Kurotsuchi, Darui—enter and take their seats.

  Gaara:

  “The Moon Clan themselves watching…

  This will be brutal.”

  Darui:

  “According to my report, Daemon trained with Guy, Rock Lee, Metal Lee, AND Naruto… in boxing.”

  Chōjūrō:

  “Hawk is strong too.

  He has that jutsu that boosts his power every second.”

  Kurotsuchi:

  “The betting is insane.

  Fans pick Hawk.

  Only Boruto and Metal Lee bet on Daemon.”

  Higarashi:

  “Yuta and the others bet for Daemon because they care for him.

  Let’s see the new Daemon versus Hawk…

  Arrogance of 100 men packed in a 10-year-old.”

  Then—

  The door SLAMS open.

  Naruto enters wearing

  FULL DAEMON MERCHANDISE

  —hoodie, headband, gloves, even slippers.

  Naruto:

  “GUYSSSS SUPPORT DAEMONNN FOR ME!!!”

  Everyone bursts out laughing.

  Eida tightens Daemon’s gloves.

  Eida:

  “He hurt your mother’s pride…

  Humiliated your dad…

  And slapped your grandmother Hinata.”

  She lifts his chin.

  Eida:

  “You know what to do.”

  Daemon nods silently, eyes turning sharp and cold.

  Yoru hands Hawk a sugar drink.

  Yoru:

  “Win this, kid.

  Mahito will be impressed.”

  Hawk smirks after drinking.

  Hawk:

  “Definitely.”

  Spotlights flash.

  Crowds scream.

  Karin steps into the center with the mic.

  Karin:

  “GOOD MORNING EVERYONEEEE!!!

  WELCOME TO…

  THE FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!

  HAWK VS DAEMON!!!”

  The stadium explodes in sound.

  And the match begins…
