Konoha Main Street.
"Big Brother Naruto."
As Naruto led the two to his favorite spot, a voice sounded behind him.
He turned his head: "Oh, it's Konohamaru. Do you need something?
I'm busy today. I'm showing them around Konoha."
He pointed to Boruto and the other person.
"Touring Konoha?" Konohamaru, who had intended to question him, was stunned.
He looked at the two again; they really didn't look like Big Brother Naruto's subordinates, and there was an uncle with them.
"Who are they?" Konohamaru then asked.
Boruto looked at the three little guys in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity.
Especially the little one leading them.
When he heard Naruto's words, his face showed surprise.
"Eh, Konohamaru? Isn't that Sensei... He's so small."
Boruto's eyes narrowed, looking amused.
"Hello, I'm Boruto. I'm here to visit Konoha, and this is my sensei"
Konohamaru heard this, crossed his arms: "I see, so you're here for sightseeing. I thought you were Big Brother Naruto's subordinates. In that case, I'll help introduce the Village. There's nothing I don't know."
"That's great."
"Let's go, I'm taking them to my favorite place now," Naruto said.
Konohamaru: "Oh, Big Brother Naruto's favorite place, huh? I want to know where that is too."
...As Naruto led the way, Boruto found the surroundings increasingly familiar.
"Sensei... isn't this..."
He looked at Sasuke.
"Yes, it should be," Sasuke said.
Boruto: "It seems we didn't pay before, did we?"
He suddenly thought of a problem.
"No, we don't have any money."
"Then let's run quickly."
...Under Boruto's persuasion, Naruto finally gave up on taking them to Ichiraku Ramen.
His face showed dissatisfaction. Really, if they'd been there before, they should have just said so.
He then took them to various places in Konoha.
"Alright, that's enough for today. You promised to train with me," Naruto said, full of energy, looking at the two.
Boruto had been waiting a long time: "No problem."
How strong is Dad now?
The Konohamaru Corps perked up their ears.
"Training, we want to go too." Hearing this, they immediately raised their hands.
Naruto smiled: "Yes, come along too."
...Konoha Training Ground.
Naruto led them to his secret training ground.
It was surrounded by trees.
"This is my secret training ground. Next is training.
I'm very strong, so be careful."
Naruto stood in the center, full of confidence.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Boruto also walked to face him.
Sasuke and the Konohamaru Corps watched from the side.
"Uncle, aren't you joining? Big Brother Naruto can defeat the Hokage in one move," Konohamaru asked Sasuke.
That guy opposite, though he looked a lot like Big Brother Naruto, was definitely not an opponent.
He had full confidence in Naruto.
Sasuke: "No need."
There was no need to worry; Naruto couldn't possibly be Boruto's opponent now.
He was more focused on Urashiki, who could appear at any moment.
That was their only goal.
But until now, there had been no sign of Urashiki, which made him suspicious.
With Urashiki's abilities, it was impossible for him not to have appeared in Konoha for so long; something he didn't know must have happened.
Or, as he had speculated, the time Urashiki traveled to was not the same as his and Boruto's.
If that were true, then the most worrying thing had happened.
Konohamaru still wanted to refute him. What did 'no need' mean?
Clang!
A clash sound made them temporarily focus their attention on the training ground.
Naruto and Boruto's Kunai were locked together, beginning a Taijutsu duel.
The clash of the Kunai made a sound, and sparks flew at the point of contact.
Clang, clang!
Bang!
"How is this possible? So strong?"
Naruto had just blocked Boruto's Kunai when he was kicked in the stomach, his face turning ashen as he flew backward.
Boruto subconsciously held back his strength, realizing that Naruto wasn't as strong as he had imagined.
From the simple Taijutsu exchange, it was clear that the opponent's combat experience was too poor.
That's right, the battlefield simulation technology developed by Director Satoru hadn't been developed in Dad's era.
So his combat experience was still insufficient.
"Ow, ow, ow..."
Naruto clutched his stomach, feeling like his gallbladder was about to be kicked out.
But he still endured.
He hadn't expected this guy who looked so much like him to be so strong, feeling even stronger than Sasuke.
The Konohamaru Corps also stared in shock: "Big Brother Naruto, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I can still fight."
Naruto's fighting spirit was ignited. Training with such a strong guy would surely make him stronger.
"Again."
"No problem."
After realizing his father's strength, Boruto was also ready to hold back.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Bang, bang, bang!
Countless Narutos appeared, heavily surrounding Boruto.
"I won't hold back now," Naruto said confidently.
Ganging up, he was a professional.
"So amazing." The Konohamaru Corps, seeing so many Narutos, their eyes sparkled.
Boruto smiled slightly, putting away his Kunai.
Facing his father's signature Ninjutsu, he began to form hand signs.
Water Release: Wild Water Wave.
His mouth puffed out, and the stream of water he spewed out was like an undersea vortex, with turbulent undercurrents.
One move.
Naruto's Shadow Clone was like entering a washing machine, being hit by rolling water currents.
Bang, bang, bang!
...Satoru suppressed his entire aura, using the Iwagakure Camouflage Hidden Jutsu, landing on a tree trunk.
He watched Naruto and Boruto fighting below.
And the figure watching from the side.
His brow furrowed.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Boruto... What's going on?
Although I haven't watched Boruto, only some clips,
I know this isn't when Boruto and his group are supposed to travel through time, right?"
He had wondered why a Chakra similar to Sasuke's appeared in Konoha; it turned out Sasuke had also traveled through time.
This meant that besides Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, other Ōtsutsuki also existed.
And they should be chasing an Ōtsutsuki, right?
Satoru was certain of this.
"Damn it, an Ōtsutsuki isn't going to attack now, is he... Sensing."
He maximized his sensing, passing through layers of trees, extending towards the interior of Konoha, then spreading out from a point.
Konoha streets, Hokage Office, Konoha Great Gate... special Chakra... even traversing a large area of Konoha Village.
Sky, ground, underground... "Nothing... Nothing here either... What abilities did the Ōtsutsuki who traveled through time have?
Damn, I haven't learned much about them!"
Not sensing any special Chakra, a sense of tension immediately surged within Satoru.
He should have watched the unburnable stuff; now, he was about to burn up himself.
He was afraid he would be like Pain, unleashing a big move, and also afraid he had some ability to hide Chakra.
Unable to sense anything, he finally turned his gaze to Sasuke and Boruto.
