Time passed.
"Perverted Sage, have you ever met a genius?"
Next to the cliff above the gurgling waterfall, Naruto summoned a two-legged toad and asked Jiraiya.
Jiraiya peeked out from the bushes, watching the girls playing below.
He had no intention of answering him.
"Hey, Perverted Sage, if you don't talk, I'm going to shout," Naruto pouted, hands on his hips.
"Geniuses? I've seen plenty, but a girl as perfect as this today is rare."
Jiraiya drooled, hot air steaming from his nose.
Naruto clenched his fists, veins popping.
"There's... a... pervert... here..."
He suddenly screamed.
"Ah, where?"
"Where are my clothes?"
"You despicable pervert, do you want to die?"
"Let's go."
The girls playing below heard the sudden shout and quickly emerged from the water.
They hurried, trembling, to where their clothes were.
After quickly putting on their clothes, they left, still damp.
"No... my research material..."
Jiraiya cried out.
He slowly turned his finger, pointing angrily at Naruto: "Naruto, you idiot, what are you doing? My precious research material, boo hoo~"
"Hmph~ Tell me, why are you asking this?"
There was nothing he could do; they were already gone.
He wanted to see what Naruto was up to.
Was it because Sasuke was too much of a genius, putting pressure on him?
Indeed, having a Uchiha as a teammate, it was normal to feel pressure.
"I met a genius; he's about my age, but... his strength is terrifyingly strong.
Very terrifying,"
Naruto said.
"A genius?" Jiraiya frowned.
"Is it Sasuke?"
"No, it's a Ninja who came to Konoha for tourism; he said he's a 'Scenery Ninja,'
A Ninja who specializes in collecting scenery from all over the world,"
Naruto said.
Is someone approaching Naruto because of the Nine-Tailed?
Jiraiya immediately thought.
Who could it be?
How could Anbu allow an outside Ninja to approach Naruto?
"It's like this..."
...
"The fusion of future and present, how comfortable!"
After worrying about the future for several days, Satoru returned to his old self.
Why think so much? Just get stronger.
At worst, he'd die; what was there to fear?
It wasn't like he hadn't tried before.
As he delved deeper into Boruto's body, collecting his information,
A stream of information, like a flowing creek, entered his mind.
"Act according to the original plan..."
This emerged from the nerves within Boruto's body.
According to Satoru's guess, this should be his future self, who probably discovered something, instructing him to act according to his long-held ideas.
What ideas? To be a worker, let Sasuke and Naruto be the saviors, and he'd provide support, saving a few people!
And then just live his own life well.
His idea had always been this, and his future self should know him very well, so his idea must be correct.
This kind of time paradox was really making his CPU burn a bit!
But with this sentence, he was relieved.
It meant that at least until Boruto finished fighting Momoshiki, he would be safe and sound, and hopefully, his past, which was his present self, would act according to the original plan.
"Unfortunately, nerves are just nerves; they cannot carry excessive information.
This small piece of information was still transmitted by his future self, based on his current intelligence gathering methods, as a secret code through Boruto's body."
But from this perspective, his Ninjutsu's third stage, 'Forced Execution,' was indeed completed in the future.
As expected of Satoru, a genius of such caliber...
Swish swish!
Clang clang! Bang!
In the training ground, after Boruto dispelled Naruto's Shadow Clone, his Kunai easily parried Naruto's Kunai and held it to Naruto's neck.
"Haha, you lost again,"
Boruto said with a smile.
But his eyes also showed a lot of worry.
These days, besides sparring with Naruto and waiting for Urashiki's attack, he also met his aunt, uncle, and others.
He had a few interesting days.
But as time passed, Urashiki still hadn't appeared, and Uncle Sasuke's expression became solemn.
This made him solemn too.
He was afraid he might not even be born yet.
Naruto drooped his head: "You're really amazing; I wonder how strong your teacher is!"
He had lost continuously for several days, experiencing the true meaning of a gap for the first time.
The young man in front of him had combat experience as unfathomable as Kakashi-sensei.
Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, he couldn't beat him in a single aspect.
It was a complete crush (crushing defeat).
"Haha, neither of us are Ninjas specializing in combat, so we're not really that strong.
The truly powerful ones are all hidden."
Uncle Sasuke is invincible, and those hidden are the Ōtsutsuki and certain other individuals...
Behind their training ground, Jiraiya watched Boruto and the others.
Especially seeing Boruto's appearance, his Chakra, and the other person who hadn't made a move.
Boruto's combat experience made him look at him with new eyes.
This was not the combat experience that could be displayed at this age.
Even Orochimaru back then couldn't reach this level.
"Is this little guy actually the Child of Prophecy I'm looking for?"
He couldn't help but wonder.
This reminded him of Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.
Even he couldn't reach this point.
Far from it... Hiss hiss~
In the small training ground, a thin Chakra thread shot towards a nearby large tree; Ino slightly controlled it, pulling herself over.
Whoosh!
Just then, a Shuriken sliced through her original position.
Ino stepped on the tree trunk with both feet and counterattacked with several Shuriken.
"Love that stretches and retracts freely."
Facing Ino's Shuriken, Sakura didn't make hand seals; Chakra instantly wove into a gum-like shape, catching the Shuriken.
Sakura took a stride, and the caught Shuriken was instantly flung out by her.
Whoosh whoosh~
Thump thump thump!
The speed of the rebound, with even stronger force, returned, penetrating two or three trees before stopping.
"Damn it, you actually managed it before me."
Ino saw that Sakura could already use it in actual combat and even deflect attacks, while she could only move like a spider using Chakra threads, feeling quite unconvinced.
She was resentful that she had lost to Sakura in Chakra control.
"Hahaha, Ino-pig, now you know how great I am."
Sakura was extremely proud; good, she had won against Ino again.
"Hmph, what's so great about you? Sensei Satoru, who developed this no-seal Ninjutsu, is the real genius.
You're just an imitator," Ino retorted, unconvinced.
But she greatly admired Satoru.
No-seal Ninjutsu!
What an amazing Ninjutsu, and its uses were varied.
It could be used for movement, defense, and daily life.
Most importantly, it could train Chakra control; now, using the Mind Body Switch Technique felt much easier than before.
"Nyah nyah nyah, I'm just better than you."
Sakura wiggled her butt, teasing her.
"Damn it."
"Oh, by the way, why has Sensei Satoru been disappearing so often these past few days? Didn't he say he would train us well?
I'm almost done with this no-seal Ninjutsu; he should be teaching us new things, right?"
"Who knows? Sensei Satoru is a Jonin, so he must be busier than us Genin."
Sakura said.
Captain Satoru is busy.
