Everyone stopped to see Tsume falling down into the trees with her partner going after her. Naruto, meanwhile, managed to catch himself on a branch, pulling himself up and started to hug the trunk of the tree, "T-that's nearly a 30-meter drop," Naruto stuttered, looking down to see Kuromaru with Tsume on his back.

"Alright, she's fine." Naruto turned around to see that everyone had stopped to look at him.

"LORD NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the ANBU Commander shouted as he appeared next to the boy.

But Naruto, acting on instinct, kicked the branch he was in two, causing both him and the commander to fall. Twisting his body in the air, Naruto placed both his feet on the commander's chest and pushed off of him, sending the commander into a nearby tree while Naruto launched himself to another branch. Landing on the branch, he then started jumping. Hopping from branch to branch in a wild pattern as the Commander managed to catch himself after he bounced off the tree, landing on a low-hanging branch as he rubbed his chest in pain.

"Damn-it, that hurt." the commander whispered as the Aburame Clan Head, Shibi, appeared next to him.

"Are you alright?" Shibi asked, placing a hand on his back

"Chest hurts... b-but I'll get over it. Just... Just get Lord Naruto." the commander said as he pointed at the blonde-blur currently bouncing off the trees

"He's almost like a ping-pong ball," Shibi commented as he saw Naruto jump off a tree and start hopping from branch to branch toward Garou and Shizune, "can you still keep up?"

"Yes." the commander stated, taking a deep breath as he stood up.

"Then we need to stop the young Uzumaki-Namikaze," Shibi then extended his hand as hundreds of kikaichū beetles started flying towards Naruto.

Naruto meanwhile was trying his best to make his movements unpredictable, knowing that a fight would more than likely result in him losing, 'I can't fight them. I only got lucky those other times,' Naruto thought as an ANBU appeared in front of him, 'FUCK!'

"Forgive me, young lord," the ANBU said as he brought his hands together in a tiger symbol, "GENJUTSU: HAZY PLAINS!" the ANBU shouted.

Naruto's eyes widened as his perception of the world began to warp and twist. The ANBU in front of him lowered their hands as Naruto swung a wild punch, making the ANBU raise their guard and strike Naruto in the throat. Doing backflips through the air as Naruto fell, the blond boy bounced off the ground, holding his throat while he tried his best not to throw up. The feeling in his gut burned as the pain in his throat and seeing the world wrapping was causing him to become nauseous. Yet, he couldn't hold it in any longer, vomiting onto the ground as the ANBU from before landed a few feet away from him.

"Forgive me, young lord. But I had no other choice. If there was a less physical option, I would've done it." the ANBU stated, inching closer as he knelt down to pick Naruto up.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto used all four of his limbs to jump away, stumbling a bot as he landed back on the ground, nearly a dozen feet away from the ANBU.

All the while, Naruto had another feeling surging through him. He felt almost anxious. He felt nervous. But most of all... he felt a bit excited. Naruto couldn't explain it. But this feeling... this feeling was something that he would always remember.

Currently, inside of Naruto's brain, a hormone was being secreted from a gland and into his body. His breathing accelerated. His heart was beating a mile-a-minute. He was having an adrenaline rush.

'Man, this is almost like the time Garou-sensei taught me how to deal with vertigo. Naruto thought, remembering when his sensei taught him how to deal with this feeling.

Flashback:

Naruto was eating a large bowl of pork-fried rice with some soba-noodles while Garou was eating steak and rice. Meanwhile, Shizune was sitting between the two, looking annoyed as they ate like wolves. She was eating some tofu with fried shrimp, quickly eating her food while also not trying to make a mess. Looking to her side, she saw Naruto reaching for one of her shrimp tails and stabbed his hand with her chopsticks.

"YOWIE!!!!" Naruto screamed, pulling back his hand, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

"You have your food and I have mine. EAT WHAT YOU HAVE!" Shizune shouted that last part, looking at the child with rage.

"Hey, what happened to 'don't hurt him too badly?" Garou asked, shoving an entire steak into his mouth

"W-Well, I uh," Shizune stuttered, looking away embarrassed as they soon finished eating. Doing stretches as Garou stood there, Naruto hopped around a bit before smiling and spreading out his legs, ready to spar.

"Alright, sensei! What's today's plan?" Naruto asked, watching as Garou walked up to him

"Today we'll learn how to fix your brain after someone hits you hard enough to rock your brain around like a ping-pong ball," Garou explained casually

"Eh?"

"Basically, I'm going to hit you so hard, you'll have a twitch."

"EHHHH?!" But before Naruto could do anything, Garou struck him in his left temple, sending him to the ground, hitting his head a second time against the cold-hard forest floor. Naruto's eyes became dilated as the entire world was twisting and turning. Garou stood over Naruto, who just looked like a mish-mash of shapes and colors to the boy.

"Alright, what do you see?" Garou saw Naruto's pupils expand and contract as the boy looked at him.

"Is this what people say what tripping on acid feels like?" Naruto asked.

"Do you see a pink elephant buying a hooker?"

"What's that?"

"Never mind that, but what do you see? Is the world all bendy like a painting at the art museum?" Garou asked, quickly changing the subject

"Yeahhhhh." Naruto replied, feeling like he was going to throw up from all the moving colors and shapes.

"Well, the way to deal with that is simple... sit up real quick." Garou made Naruto sit up, making whatever pain the boy was feeling even worse. "Okay, here's how you deal with it." Garou stated as he struck Naruto in the head, again, causing him to fall back to the ground.

"GAROU!" Shizune screamed, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HE'S SUFFERING FROM VERTIGO AND POSSIBLY A CONCUSSION!"

"And how would you know he has a concussion?" Garou asked

"I'm a doctor, you moron! I know a concussion when I see it!"

"Hey! The world's not all bendy anymore!" Naruto said, sitting back up as his stomachache was fading away.

"W-what the hell?" Shizune mumbled as the boy got up and brushed himself off

"How did you do that?"

"Simple, I punched your shaking brain back into place," Garou explained

"COOL!"

"THAT'S NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!"

End Flashback:

As Naruto was on the ground, what was left of the retrieval team soon appeared and surrounded Naruto.

"You alright?" Shibi asked, hovering behind Naruto.

"You shouldn't worry about me, Lord Aburame." The ANBU agent replied, "But the young lord needs medical attention quickly."

"I say we oughtta beat his ass." appearing from the bushes, Tsume spoke with a hoarse voice as Kuromaru was right next to her

"Tsume, don't speak," Kuromaru said, making Tsume growl

"Good to see you're still alive." the ANBU commander appeared next to Tsume, "Nice to know that you aren't killed so easily."

"Shut it." Tsume snapped, walking to Naruto while cracking her knuckles, "Now then, brat. I think you've got some explaining to do."

"Try not to get too close, Tsume. I've got this covered." Shibi explained, pointing to the sky as a giant sphere of beetles was hovered over the group

"Screw you and your bugs. Hell, screw the Hokage! I'm gonna beat with kids ass so fucking red, he'll have to go back to the hospital to get a new ass!" Tsume shouted in a rage. Getting closer and closer, Naruto managed to stand up, ignore the burning in his throat, grit his teeth, and pull his head back. He took a deep breath, hoping what he was about to do next wouldn't end badly.

"" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs, flinging his entire body forward, swinging his head into the dirt hard enough to make a small crater.

Surprised by this action, everyone froze as Naruto dug his head out of the ground with a bleeding forehead and heavy breathing. The world was straight again to Naruto, no bending or twisting. But to the other's, they saw Naruto's eyes had become dilated.

"He gave himself a concussion to counter my genjutsu!" the ANBU agent stated as Naruto rushed him. Raising his guard, the ANBU expected Naruto to attack him in his major vital areas. But Naruto grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into the eye-holes of his mask, blinding him. While he was blinded, Naruto placed a foot on the ground along with both his hands and donkey-kicked the ANBU in the testicles as hard as he could. The ANBU fell to the ground as his eyes rolled into the back of his head and foam started to leak out from the mask.

Naruto started running again, this time just doing whatever. He threw things. He screamed. He cursed at them. He jumped from tree to tree while tossing twigs into the air. Naruto acted like a mad man as they tried to chase him further.

'They can't catch me if I don't know what I'm doing either!' Naruto thought, using every advantage he had to escape or slow them down.

"Secret Technique Parasitic Destruction: Typhoon!" Naruto heard as he turned his head to see a large tornado of beetles coming at him, tearing through trees and leaves with the retrieval team behind it.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Naruto shouted as he tried to jump away from the tornado. Just barely getting out of the way, Naruto managed to escape, but not unscathed as his left foot was caught. Landing in a bush, Naruto looked at his foot to see that the shoe was missing along with his skin, causing it to bleed. "D-Damn-it. I-I didn't get away from it in time."

"Please stop running. We don't want to hurt you anymore." Shibi asked politely, hovering over Naruto

"Yeah, riiiiight." Tsume drawled out, growling as he did.

"You're not helping."

"Shut-it, bug-boy!"

"..."

As they continued to argue, Naruto was trying to think of a way to get out. But there was only one way he could think of. Whipping his hand across his forehead, Naruto made sure it was covered with blood and started going through hand signs while gathering chakra. Closing his eyes, Naruto muttered under his breath: "I hope this works."

Slamming his hand against the ground, he shouted: "SUMMONING JUTSU!" and in a giant puff of smoke, everyone was sent flying into trees as Tsume was almost crushed by a giant, clawed paw. Once the smoke cleared, towering over the tree's... was Baku and all his glory.
