Chapter 9: Start Broadcasting Boruto!
[System: "12-year-old Naruto, successfully defeated a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki!"]
At this moment,
The screen on the left stopped. Everyone only saw the scene of Naruto and Gaara reconciling.
Immediately after,
The screen on the right appeared before everyone's eyes.
The attention of everyone in the Ninja World was immediately drawn to it.
In the video,
Amidst a world of ice and snow,
Stood an abandoned, grand structure.
Snowflakes slowly drifted down from high above.
The next second...
Bang!!!
A violent sound rang out, and multiple buildings and stones began to shatter.
In the snow,
Blue flashes and purple phantoms were interwoven in battle.
Bang bang bang!!
Several surrounding stone pillars were shattered by the shockwaves of their clash.
Sasuke leapt rapidly from high above to the ground, activated his Sharingan, held his sword with one hand, and engaged in a fierce battle with Kinshiki!
Bang bang bang!!
Violent sounds rang out incessantly!
Sasuke stared tightly at Kinshiki before him.
Kinshiki pulled an axe from his back.
Thud!!
A massive force was transmitted continuously; the two fought from inside the castle to the outside.
Clang, clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly...
Sasuke dodged the enemy's attack, then knocked the opponent's weapon away with a kick!
Without much nonsense...
Kinshiki quickly smashed Sasuke flying onto a distant rock with a punch.
Just as Sasuke wanted to stand up, Kinshiki quickly jumped over and threw a punch.
Bang!!
The rock Sasuke was leaning against instantly crumbled!
Sasuke raised his sword, staring tightly at Kinshiki, then turned and sliced off one of Kinshiki's horns!
The crowd watching the video saw this scene and was a bit confused.
Wait, what's the situation?
Wasn't it supposed to play Boruto?
Where on earth has this taken me?!
[Uchiha Mikoto: "Fugaku, is that guy Sasuke?"]
[Uchiha Fugaku: "Yeah, it looks like it..."]
Pure Land Space.
Mikoto grabbed Fugaku's arm, looking at the sky with a worried face.
That was her son; why would Sasuke be fighting such a dangerous enemy?
[Haruno Sakura: "Sasuke-kun?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto: "Hmph, it's actually Sasuke, that guy. Isn't this video supposed to be playing my son..."]
[Uzumaki Boruto: "Yeah, why did it suddenly play Master Sasuke?"]
[Jiraiya: "That isn't the main point... Who is this guy fighting Sasuke?"]
The visuals continued.
Sasuke dodged several of the enemy's attacks in a row, and the two fell into a stalemate.
Sasuke took the opportunity to step on the enemy's arm,
Then leaped to the top of the enemy's head, smoothly taking out a kunai. Just as he was about to stab Kinshiki...
Kinshiki grabbed Sasuke's foot and slammed him violently onto the ground.
Bang!!
The ground instantly cracked, spreading out like a spider web.
However, it didn't end there.
Kinshiki smashed his fist toward the ground. Sasuke decisively activated his Mangekyō Sharingan to quickly evade the strike.
But immediately after, Kinshiki took out his axe, twirled it, and turned into a purple phantom, charging fiercely at Sasuke!
Sasuke looked up, seeing the axe slashing down, and decisively used Amenotejikara to swap places with a nearby stone statue!
Bang!!!
Kinshiki hit a stone statue.
"Swapped places with a stone statue, huh..." Kinshiki looked up, staring tightly at Sasuke in the distance.
At this moment, snowflakes drifted leisurely...
Momoshiki stood high in the sky, looking down at Sasuke below, his eyes full of mockery.
"Rinnegan, huh... Hmph!"
Sasuke's long hair fluttered in the wind,
The Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan were revealed completely!
The pupils of the crowd watching the video constricted instantly upon seeing this scene.
[Onoki: "It's actually the Rinnegan!!!"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "The legendary eyes of the Sage?"]
[Mizukage Terumi Mei: "But isn't the Rinnegan a myth..."]
[Deidara: "The same eyes as the Boss?"]
A cave.
Nagato looked at the screen high in the sky, his eyes shocked.
"The same eyes as mine, how is this possible?!"
Konan stood by his side, looking at Nagato with concern.
"Hmph, his Rinnegan must have been seized from me, right?"
In the future scenes, he himself never appeared.
Then it was very likely that the future version of himself had already died... Someone dug up his grave and took the Rinnegan!
Nagato's train of thought was simple; he was the God of this world, unrivaled by anyone!
[Uchiha Itachi: "Sarada, how are you doing now?"]
[Uchiha Sarada: "Mm, Uncle, I'm living very well now..."]
The visuals continued.
Naruto stood high above, overlooking the Hidden Leaf Village in the distance.
"Uzumaki Naruto is my father... He is different; he is the busiest ninja in the village."
"He is the Seventh Hokage... but that isn't a reason for him to ignore me..." Boruto's narration sounded.
At this moment,
12-year-old Boruto lay on the bed and walked into his father's room.
He spoke with a heart full of joy, but his father shook his head due to work reasons.
Boruto's expression froze...
Why? His father is the Hokage!
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki: "This kid is 12; looks like he lives much better than his dad did as a kid..."]
[Hanzo of the Salamander: "Indeed."]
[Nara Shikamaru: "Can't really say that... I'm afraid there will be a reversal later?"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "This can have a reversal? I'll eat shit!"]
[Uchiha Tekka: "Then I'll eat it too!"]
The visuals continued.
The Chunin Exams were about to begin,
Connecting to the previous short clip...
After his sister's birthday was ruined...
Boruto's eyes were angry; he planned to go confront Naruto. But he was stopped by his mother.
"Boruto... your dad must work hard to protect everyone in the village. It doesn't mean he forgot about you guys."
Boruto threw off his mother's arm, his eyes still angry.
"Why? Why must my dad be the Hokage? He's just a guy who sits around giving orders; anyone can do that job!"
[Mizukage Terumi Mei: "@Shimura Danzo, what do you think?"]
[Sand Village Jonin Baki: "Good lord, isn't Danzo going to have a breakdown?"]
[Shimura Danzo: "Evil Boruto brat, you don't understand the meaning of Hokage at all..."]
[Uzumaki Boruto: "I already know I was wrong..."]
The visuals continued.
"The job of Hokage is very difficult; he is an indispensable person for the village..." Hinata stopped herself from saying more.
"Then should the Hokage's son be grateful for being born into this family?! Huh!" Boruto looked furious.
"Oh, right, I heard my grandfather was also a Hokage... But when Dad was still a child, Grandfather had already passed away!
I guess Dad was really lucky; he never had to experience the 'joy' of having parents around since he was little..." Boruto looked disdainful.
Hinata looked at the child speaking like this, her eyes complex...
Boruto sensed his mother's emotions and also shook his head.
"I don't really care, but my little sister... forget it."
The music became sorrowful at this moment...
The eyes of the crowd watching the video became complex.
Everyone, more or less, lacked a father's company growing up, so they could understand Boruto's feelings...
...
Inside a house.
Sakura looked at Boruto in the sky, her eyes equally complex.
It seemed she had said something very excessive to Naruto not long ago...
Thinking about it carefully now, she was really excessive back then!
...
(The upcoming scenes will be dual comparisons, playing a segment of Boruto, then a segment of Naruto...)
(Spoiler alert: the following plot is high energy all the way! No false promises (ᵔᗜᵔ*) )
