What's Beyond (English version)

_ Naruto's cabin _

You can see our protagonist writing stamps inside his room, it had been 3 months since he had his talk with Whitebeard and he had been thinking a lot about it lately. 

Reflecting on himself and asking himself the questions that are easiest to ask, but hardest to answer: Who was he? and what did he want?

All his life I always lived under certain expectations of himself, of showing that he was better, that he was not a monster that the villagers said, nor a demon, he was just the same 

But he got tired of that, despite leaving Konoha physically, mentally he was still stuck there, in a certain way, worried about meeting certain expectations. For this reason, today Naruto Uzumaki dies, that tormented child dies, today he begins the path of...

…

…

- You didn't think of a name, right? -

…

…

…

- *Sigh* You're an idiot - he'd say it with his paw covering his face

- Oh, if it's so easy, why don't you give me your name? - would speak irritated

- I'm not saying I have a name prepared brat, I disagree that you should have something prepared, that's the only thing you haven't learned yet, you can't always rush into battle without a plan -

Naruto just scoffed at that - And what do you want? That I plan everything about my life down to the smallest detail? - 

- IDIOT! I'm not referring to that, I'm explaining to you that you always throw yourself without thinking, but as far as you are going to go, you are not invincible, you are mortal, you can still die, it is true that plans in battle are normally a failure, but it is always better to go prepared - Naruto scolded

Naruto just stayed silent, what the fox said really hit him hard, because what she said was true - *Sigh* - this was going to be more difficult than I thought, but I was just starting out and if I wanted to do it on the right foot, I had to learn this technique at least well, I didn't want to end up in the wrong place again, if it weren't for the girls understanding his situation regarding his technique, today he would not have balls, when he suddenly appeared in the women's bathroom, while they were showering.

- Hahahahahahahahaha - Yes, it seems that Kyubi enjoyed that situation too much, especially because of the murderous instinct that the women sent to Naruto, before he explained what happened

- Yes, yes, yes, make fun of it all you want, but when I master this jutsu everything will be worth it - Without further ado, he once again set out to work on the hirashin

The Kyubi only gave a mental smile, given Naruto's attitude, she knew that he was capable of mastering that jutsu and even improving it, because she sees something in him that is special, a real power, he will become a great rival and adventures you can enjoy

_3 months later_

In the training room you could see Marco and Naruto engaged in a confrontation, where you could see an incredible physical change; the boy was left behind, skinny and a little emaciated due to his poor diet based on pure ramen. He had not grown too much, since he awakened his genes, just by pure training he grew about 2 cm, reaching a height of 1.62, but he was barely thirteen years old, so he still had a lot to grow, he had a more developed physique in the muscle area , they were not bulky or very big, but that was due to their type of training that focuses more on hitting fast but hard.

And he was proving it right now, with his training with Marco, although they tried to teach him a combat style, none of them attracted him or felt comfortable enough to use it for every battle, so taking advantage of his clones he began to learn the different styles. that he could learn and took movements from each style, to add it to his own

Which in Marco's words made him dangerous, because none of his opponents would know what style he was truly using, he had also learned to use weapons, specifically two swords, he was not a master with them, but he knew how to use them and defend himself with them, he did not know the Why? but I had learned everything relatively quickly

- That's because now you have real teachers willing to teach you well - was the reply given by Kyubi.

( -What are you talking about?-)

- Don't give me those brats, you know what I'm talking about, you never had a real dedicated teacher, which was what you lacked -

(-Hey I had good teachers-)

- Sure, which one do you want to start with? Because of the one from the academy who only went out to eat ramen from time to time with you, but never helped you understand why you didn't do the normal clone well? Oh maybe the cyclops, who focused most of his training on teamwork or how to make the Uchiha stronger, despite knowing that you were the one who needed the most help? And don't get me started on the pervert -

(-Ero-sennin was a good teacher-)

- *Roar* STOP CHEATING YOURSELF NARUTO! That pervert was not even a decent teacher, leaving you with a complicated jutsu without explaining anything to you is not training, it is not even learning, it is irresponsibility and laziness - Naruto just frowned at what Kyubi said, when he was about to say something he was interrupted - Don't try to defend the pervert, you yourself know that I'm right, just like the Cyclops knew that you didn't have the basics well learned, but he only gave you the jutsu to make you shut up and went looking for women - 

(-Why does Kyubi bother you so much? And if they didn't teach me almost anything, at least they tried to teach a stupid person like me? - I would say angrily)

 - ARE YOU IMBECILE? Don't answer, obviously yes, understand this for the first time in your life Naruto, you are not useless without talent, you are not weak, much less stupid, you are one of the beings with the greatest potential I have ever met and do you know what? Why is that? - Naruto just shook his head - Because you are willing to learn Naruto, you are not lazy, you are not unmotivated, you are the person who is not afraid to improve, you are like a diamond in the rough, you just need to be polished well and you will see that you are the greatest and most valuable of the jewels -

(-Why is Kyubi suddenly so motivating? -)

- … *Sigh* Look boy, your whole life you were limited by everyone, they stunted your growth in every way, physically, mentally and emotionally... it was partly my fault, and I regret it, that's why I want to help you cover those values... even if I can't give you back to your parents, or your childhood, if I can help you have a better future, but I can't do that if you maintain the will and thought that was implanted in you in Konoha - Naruto just started crying, scaring Marco, he stopped training with Naruto a while ago, seeing that the latter had a lost look on his face, so that he suddenly started crying, so he went to look for his father -

- No - Naruto would deny that he was free from Konoha, from its yoke. 

- Don't lie to yourself Naruto, tell me Naruto, what is that reality that Konoha made you see -

- No - Now he would start crying desperately, while hugging himself and kneeling

- That you don't deserve to be loved Naruto, that's what Konoha taught you, that you have no value, that you are a waste, a tool or a rag that they can use - 

- NO! - was the cry with which White Beard found Naruto - No, no, no, no - he was now holding his head crying harder.

-So what are you doing self-deprecating about your existence, Naruto? What are you doing telling yourself that you have no value and that you are a useless Naruto? Whose thoughts are those, yours or theirs? -

- NOOOOOOO!!! - When Newgate was next to his grandson he had to hold on to the ground, because suddenly a shock wave came out of Naruto, who was loaded not only with his raw power, but also with Haoshoku Haki, which was so powerful that it almost made him fainting a careless Marco, even Kyubi had to put some of her power to protect herself, that thing almost knocked her out - No, no, no, no - Naruto was hyperventilating, he was having a panic attack, until he felt like someone put a giant hand on his shoulder

- Naruto... - Newgate didn't know what to say and just hugged the boy, making him vent on his chest - everything is going to be okay, I'm here for you - Naruto could only give a thunderous scream, letting out all his feelings, anger , hatred, sadness, resentment, despair, that and more he let out in that moment, before the embrace of the man who became his grandfather.

Edward just did the best he could and that was to let Naruto will vent

_2 hours later_

Naruto had already calmed down and was still kneeling, hugging White Beard's chest, everything was silent. 

- Naruto... I need you to talk to me boy... I need you to tell me what happened to you? -<

-... I have to tell you something ugly about myself... something that maybe you don't like... promise me that no matter what I tell you, you won't hate me - White Beard only listened to Naruto, it didn't take long for him to respond to that promise.

- Naruto... I'm going to tell you the same thing that I tell my children, I'm never going to abandon them or stop loving them, you are my grandson and nothing and no one is going to change that, but if you really feel like you need to vent, believe me boy I'm going to listen to you -

About 30 seconds of silence passed until Naruto's sigh was heard - I... I do not belong to these lands... I actually live in some lands under the sea that are sealed, in those lands there are shinobi warriors trained to use chakra fusion of physical and spiritual energies.

Edward was just letting Naruto will vent

- But in those lands there are some beasts made of chakra, to this day their origin is unknown, the point is that the shinobi invented a way to "control" these beasts, they seal them in people and call them jinchurikis, but unfortunately They are mistreated in one way or another - Naruto would continue telling the story

- Naruto Are you a jinchuriki? - Naruto just nodded at his grandfather's question - Were you mistreated in any way? - the same answer - Do you want revenge? - Naruto just denied. So, what do you want from Naruto?

- Get over it, I don't want to feel like worthless trash... I don't want to feel bad, but I've lived my whole life being educated to think that about myself... I don't know how to get over it anymore - In the end Naruto would cry again, being consoled by his grandfather

_3 months later_

It had been a while since he opened up to his new adoptive grandfather, in recent months he met a guy named Teach... he didn't like me in the slightest... and he was going to keep an eye on him

Another thing that happened was that he found out that he had already shown traces of Haki, but he had not been able to use it again, well that is how Marco had explained to him, that ability is developed in combat of lives and deaths.

The last event was that he asked his grandfather for a boat for him, to start sailing on his own, not a luxurious boat, just a practical one, although he had to convince him to let him sail.

_ Flash Back _

- Let me see if I understand... Do you want a boat? -

- And-

- To navigate alone -

- Just-

- And you want me to do that when just less than 15 days ago you had that panic attack? -

- I know it doesn't sound like the best idea in the world -

- That's an understatement brat -

- But I want to do it, I want to try and explore the world on my own... I was always guided by people, Konoha, my senseis, you... but I want to do something on my own and if I fail I will find the answer myself -

White Beard just stayed silent thinking about his grandson's words - Tell me brat - with that Naruto only prepared his grandfather's question - What were you saying that did that thing you were practicing? -

- It's called hirashin, it's an instant teleportation technique, anywhere I put a seal, I can arrive automatically, but I don't control it yet -

- Hmm… of the months -

- That? -

- You have two months to perfect it, if you achieve it I will give you that ship so you can explore the world alone - Naruto was about to celebrate - but if you don't achieve it, you will stay on this ship until I die. Do you understand, brat? - Naruto just nodded nervously, now he had a time limit to achieve it

_ Flash Back _

When he finally achieved it, 6 weeks had passed, he only needed another 2 and he lost the challenge and today he was here, on top of a small ship, compared to Whitebeard's giant ships, preparing everything to leave

Just when I had everything, White Beard and Marco were on the boat.

- So this is goodbye huh boy- 

- No, I would say it's a see you later, don't think they're going to get rid of my Marco, especially with the seal I put on the old man, at any moment. I can to appear -

- Hmm - that's all Marco would say

- I told you I didn't want it, brat -

- It doesn't matter, now you have it and that's it - White Beard just grunted a little.

- *Sigh*  It doesn't matter anymore kid, I just want to tell you that luck, from now on things will be more complicated, you are a new pirate, in a world of monsters and you no longer have my protection... and the truth is I don't know whether to worry about you or for them Guarararara-

- Hahahahaha hahahaha, I think you should worry more about them old man, because I don't go sailing to get the one piece, I have an even bigger goal -

- Oh, and what would that be? -

- Take away your title of the strongest man in the world, you'll see, old man; When you least expect it, you will be a legend and I will have your title - Barba Blanco and Marco opened their eyes, amazed by Naruto's words, they never expected that. 

- GUARARARARARARARARARA - Edward started laughing as hard as he could. This boy is certainly interesting. The first time they rescued him from the sea, I didn't expect anything from him, but here and now he is competing for his title - Well then go ahead Na…

- No -

- Huh? - White Beard was confused 

- My name is no longer Naruto Uzumaki -

- What's your name then? Nobody - Marco mocked.

- Haha very funny Marco, but not my name is απόλυτη ελευθερία - Marco and Edward looked strangely at... okay, they weren't even going to try, they didn't understand anything he said - 

- Hahaha I told you boy, no one was going to understand that strange name -

- Shut up Kyubi, that was a prophetic dream, plus you confirmed that the redhead was my mother, if she gave me that name it must be for a reason - That's another thing that changed, since the crew found out about the Kyubi inside Naruto he was free to talk out loud with him/her - Well, if you didn't understand what I said, my name is Apólyti Elefthería, Elefthería is my name but if you want to abbreviate it Eleutheros, it is another way to call me -

- You know I'm not even going to try, good luck with your trip Apólyti -

- Yes, lucky boy -

After that "emotional" farewell, Eleutheros left for a new sea of ​​adventures. What awaits the world? What awaits him himself?

No one knows the answer, but stay tuned because this story will continue
