A New Path

'System, where is Jūgo now?' Dragon was sitting and drinking alcohol inside of the villages many bars.

[He is living inside a village 22,756k miles away from your current position.] The system answered with the always accurate information.

'I see. Naruto should be fine if i just leave a note at home.' Dragon that now had the information he wanted drank the last of his cup and put the money on the table.

"Thanks for the drink," Dragon walked outside and left to write the note to Naruto that he would be gone for the day.

"Come back anytime." The owner of the place said as he saw Dragon leave through the door.

----A few hours later----

Dragon was jumping from one tree top to the other at an incredible speed. He was closing in on the village where Jūgo was located.

[Host, the person known as Jūgo has started a rampage. He can absorb natural energy and because of that fact he often finds himself in fits of rage where he can destroy entire villages if he is allowed to continue. Host should hurry.] The system reported and Dragon saw an explosion in the distance not long after.

'Guess i have to speed up.' Dragon landed with his right foot on yet another tree top, but this time it was different. Dragon's body just disappeared this time in an incredible display of speed that would floor the fourth hokage himself.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Inside the village that was located here in a very remote area, a young man were standing in the middle of the village and screaming while holding his head with both hands.

"Run, get away now!!" An elderly man said as he tried to get the others away from the screaming young man.

"Jūgo, you have to calm down. You know this is not who you are. You are in control, don't let it control you." He said as he approached the orange haired Jūgo.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH" Jūgo seemed to be completely gone as he stood there screaming into his hands with no sign of stopping.

While screaming at the top of his lungs, the elderly man had made it within only a couple meters of Jūgo and that seemed to have triggered something inside him because he looked up at the old man with a crazy look in his eyes. Anyone could see that the real Jūgo was not in control at the moment.

"KIIIIIILL" Jūgo dashed towards the elderly man at the speed of an average jonin. He fist approached the elder that could do nothing but stare at Jūgo who wanted to sincerely kill him at this moment.

"Calm down, boy." A hand appeared from nowhere and it landed squarely on Jūgo's face and sent him crashing into a building.

"Let me handle this. I can calm him down without letting him hurt anyone else." Dragon said to the elderly man who just stood there and stared at him. Who wouldn't when a 240 cm tall giant appeared from nowhere and stopped a rampaging monster.

"O-Okay?" The man said and stepped back while still not understanding what just happened.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill," Jūgo climbed out of the rubble and mumbled a "kill" over and over again. The elderly man together with the rest of the villagers were obviously scared, but to Dragon this was like a baby throwing their tantrum.

"Jūgo, how about you stop this. Otherwise i will have to use force and that will hurt even more." Dragon said with a kind smile on his face.

"KILL" Jūgo approached while not even paying any attention to what Dragon said.

"Force it is then." Dragon watched as Jūgo approached with great speed and attempted to rip him apart.

"too weak. Imagine if you had even the slightest control over your strength." Dragon saw Jūgo's fist approach and stopped it with one finger.

"Time to sleep." He used his other hand and flicked Jūgo's forehead and effectively knocked him unconscious. Jūgo flew back and landed on the ground, now totally knocked out.

"S-Sir, who are you?" The elderly man approached from behind and asked timidly.

"A martial arts master. I am out looking for people with some potential. And i think i just found myself someone good." Dragon said, not really caring what information he revealed. He was just happy that he saved this village before it was destroyed.

"Please, come inside. Let me offer you some tea. You saved our lives after all." He said and the other people around all looked at Dragon with worship in their eyes. It's not every day you see someone knock out a monster with just a finger.

"Let's take care of Jūgo before that. He will probably have quite the headache when he wakes up." Dragon waved his hand and the earth around Jūgo's body raised itself and it all morphed and moved in ways that should not be possible. It eventually stopped and what stood there now was a full blown house.

"Wh.. i.. eh..... I don't eve.. know." The village elder tried to speak multiple times but nothing coherent came out at all.

"My Lord, what are you?" Dragon's status in his mind upped a few levels and he fully believed Dragon had to be someone of the Kage status. he didn't know anyone else that would be able to do anything remotely close to this.

"Let's go inside." Dragon ignored yet another question thrown at him.

The inside of the house was fully decorated and everything looked like it had been sculpted using a chisel.

"Sit." Dragon gestured towards a chair that was made entirely out of stone. He out Jūgo on a stone bed by the wall and then sat down in front of the elderly man.

"So, about this boy. I am taking him with me." Dragon said to the man, and he didn't get much in terms of verbal disagreement. The man only showed a frown.

"It is highly dangerous because his rampages can lead to devastating results." The man had known Jūgo only for a short period of time but he had already seen the horror that the boy brought with him.

"That is no problem. What he is suffering from is his kekkei Genkai and i am more then capable of helping him with that."

"Then i can't really say anything, can i? Following you would probably do more good for Jūgo then it would staying here. The chances of this village being destroyed increases every day Jūgo stays here." They were lucky that Dragon came when he did.

"I decided to take him the moment i saw him so we will just wait for him to wake up and then i will explain the situation to him." The elderly man didn't say anything and just sat in silence and thought about all that had just transpired.

"I hope you will do good by him. He deserves some happiness after all the things he has been going through all alone." He looked at Dragon and he got a nod from the giant in response.

"He will be safe with me, that i can promise." Dragon said and looked upon the body of Jūgo. He already knew the way to save him. Of course he needed a little help from the system as well.
