The next morning, as the first rays of golden sunlight streamed through the window lattice, Sumire Kakei quietly woke up.
She turned her head, her gaze falling softly on Boruto's sleeping face beside her. Her heart skipped a beat—she couldn't stop the impulse rising inside her.
Gently, she leaned forward and placed a sweet kiss on Boruto's lips.
The instant she pulled back, Sumire's cheeks flushed bright red. Like a child caught doing something mischievous, she hurriedly ducked under the blanket, hiding her face completely.
Boruto stirred, slowly waking up from the sudden kiss. He reached out and patted her trembling back.
"Sumire, you're awake," he said gently.
From under the blanket, her muffled voice came out small and shaky. "Mmm… Boruto, I'm sorry. I—I didn't mean to…"
Boruto smiled and shook his head. "Are you sure you want to keep hiding under there? Today's the elimination round of the Chunin Exams."
Hearing that, Sumire peeked her head out from under the covers, her purple eyes shyly meeting Boruto's.
He chuckled. "You're really cute, you know that?"
Sumire blushed even deeper. "Boruto, stop teasing me. Let's hurry and get ready for the elimination round," she murmured.
At the Konoha Village Ten-Thousand-Person Arena, the air buzzed with excitement. The stands were packed, and the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages sat in the VIP viewing box.
Backstage, the remaining participants had already gathered, preparing for their upcoming battles.
Sarada and Mitsuki were already waiting when Boruto and Sumire arrived together. Sarada grinned knowingly, flashing Boruto a mischievous wink.
"Boruto, Sumire—you're here. You both look… energetic!" she teased.
Sumire immediately turned bright red again, ducking her head and fidgeting nervously.
Sarada giggled, then took Sumire's hand. "Come on, let's have a little girl talk."
Boruto took a step forward, but Sarada turned and stopped him with a glare. "You're not invited. This is a girls-only conversation."
Boruto sighed and stepped back, helplessly scratching his head.
Sarada led Sumire to a secluded corner, pressing one hand against the wall beside her in a kabedon pose.
"So," Sarada said playfully, "was it comfortable last night?"
"Wha—!? S–Sarada! What are you talking about? I… I…" Sumire stammered, waving her hands in panic.
Sarada smirked slyly. "I mean, does Boruto smell good?"
Sumire's entire face went crimson. "S–Sarada, stop joking around!"
She tried to push Sarada away, but Sarada caught her wrist, grinning mischievously.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing." She finally let go and smiled softly. "But seriously, Sumire, Boruto's pretty desirable. We can't just let other girls get in between us, right?"
Sumire blinked, then nodded shyly. "You're right… Boruto's too amazing. We'll have to work even harder."
In the center of the arena, Rock Lee, wearing his signature green jumpsuit, stood tall and addressed the twelve remaining participants.
"The third exam will be an individual battle—conducted in an elimination format!" he announced.
"The first round will not pit teammates against each other. However, as you progress, battles between teammates may become inevitable."
"The tournament will have three rounds. The winners of Groups A, B, and C will advance to the finals for a best-of-three match!"
"Everyone, check your match order and get ready!"
As he finished, the massive electronic screen above the arena flickered to life—displaying the first matchup.
Konoha: Boruto Uzumaki vs. Konoha: Sumire Kakei.
The crowd erupted in chatter.
"Hokage, your son's in the very first match," Kurotsuchi said with a smirk, glancing at Naruto. "Looks like we're getting a show right off the bat."
Darui crossed his arms. "That purple-haired girl's strong. She wiped out three of my village's Genin. Hokage, your son might be in trouble."
Naruto simply smiled without responding.
In another VIP box, Kushina clutched Minato's arm nervously. "Ah, right away it's my grandson versus our future granddaughter-in-law! What should I do?"
Minato chuckled and patted her hand. "Relax, Kushina—it's just a sparring match."
"Future granddaughter-in-law?" Mikoto Uchiha blinked in confusion. "Kushina, what do you mean? Isn't my Sarada your future granddaughter-in-law?"
Kushina froze, suddenly realizing Mikoto didn't know.
Before she could speak, Fugaku sighed. "Mikoto… that yellow-haired brat's been two-timing."
"What!?" Mikoto gasped.
"Mikoto, you didn't know?" Kushina said quickly. "Sarada didn't object to it."
"Sarada didn't object?" Mikoto repeated, wide-eyed.
Fugaku shrugged helplessly. "I don't know what trick that kid Boruto used, but Sarada's absolutely smitten with him."
He sighed again. "Since she's okay with it, I'll stay out of it. I just hope Boruto treats her right."
Kushina smiled awkwardly. "Don't worry, Mikoto. Boruto will definitely treat Sarada well."
Fugaku glared at her from the corner of his eye, muttering under his breath, "Damn Uzumaki Clan troublemakers…"
"Wow, look at all these people, Madara," Hashirama said, scanning the packed stands with awe.
"I'm not blind, Hashirama! You don't have to narrate everything you see," Madara grumbled beside him.
Tobirama crossed his arms, staring sharply at the field. "Sumire Kakei… show that yellow-haired brat what you're made of!"
Down in the arena, Boruto and Sumire faced each other at the center.
"The first match is against Boruto…" Sumire murmured, feeling her pulse quicken.
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said clearly, "Boruto, no matter what, I'll give it my all."
Boruto smiled. "Come on, Sumire. Let's do our best."
Rock Lee raised his arm high and shouted,
"The first match—begin!"
