Chapter 2: What Kind of Godly Life is Boruto Living?
[Uchiha Sasuke (Adult): " Boruto, your father lived a very miserable life when he was young. He relied on hard work to get to where he is now… "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " I'm sorry, Dad… "]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): " What are you saying, silly child? Your conditions are better than mine were, so you must study even harder, and then… (rambles on with a bunch of nonsense) "]
[Uzumaki Kushina: " Mn, Naruto, is this my grandson?! "]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): " That's right! "]
[Namikaze Minato: " For real?! I have a grandson!!!! "]
[Uzumaki Kushina: " Naruto, hurry up and send a photo!!! "]
[Senju Tobirama: " This couple seems a bit dazed… "]
[Senju Hashirama: " Ahahaha, the atmosphere in this chat group livened up instantly! "]
The visuals continued.
Naruto ran to a slum area; that was exactly where his home was.
"I'm home…"
Naruto had a look of loss in his eyes as he lay on his bed.
Why didn't he have parents?
Grandpa Third had told him that his parents died on the battlefield.
Speaking of which, he had never even seen his parents…
The scene shifted.
Naruto weaved through the grass, running into a forest.
At this moment, Naruto was sweating profusely.
He picked up a stone and threw it at a distant log.
Although doing so was meaningless, he just played by himself like this.
The people watching the video couldn't help but feel heartache.
Naruto soon discovered a large number of wild mushrooms in the grass, a flicker of joy passing through his eyes.
He gathered all these mushrooms.
Subsequently, he made a simple fishing rod and began to fish.
Very quickly, Naruto caught a fish.
He placed the fish into a fire to roast it.
Seeing the fish was cooked, Naruto began to eat it ravenously.
Just then, an old grandfather appeared in front of him. Naruto jumped in fright.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"Don't panic, I'm just a passing old grandpa," Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly.
As the Hokage, he was usually dealing with official duties and truly didn't have time to accompany Naruto.
This time, he had managed to find some time with great difficulty to see Naruto.
Looking at Naruto roasting fish before him, Hiruzen smiled kindly.
The two looked at each other, both revealing joyful smiles.
"Old grandpa, here, eat this!" Naruto generously handed the roasted fish to Hiruzen.
"Is that so? Thank you!" Hiruzen said.
[Kurotsuchi: " Asking because I don't know, who is this old grandpa? "]
[Onoki: " He is the Third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. "]
[Deidara: " Mn! He looks quite kind! "]
[Fourth Raikage A: " The Hidden Leaf Village is truly hypocritical. The son of a hero lives so poorly? Naruto, do you want to come to our Cloud Village? This old man will take care of you! "]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: " Do you want to come to our Sand Village? "]
[Mei Terumi: " Ahem… "]
[Uzumaki Naruto: " I won't go to your villages, I am a ninja of the Hidden Leaf! "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " By the way, Dad lived so miserably when he was little, did no one help him? "]
[Uzumaki Naruto: " Uh, you are my future son? Then who is my wife? Is it Sakura? Hehehe… "]
[Haruno Sakura: " Tch, I wouldn't fall for Naruto! "]
[Uzumaki Boruto: " Dad had a crush on Aunt Sakura when he was little?!! "]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Adult): " Hey, Boruto, can you talk a little less!! "]
[Nara Shikamaru: " Naruto, how did you become so whipped in the future… truly spineless! "]
The visuals continued.
The Third Hokage praised Naruto's cooking skills. Hearing this, Naruto's heart was filled with joy.
Finally, someone acknowledged him!
The grandfather and grandson looked up at the stars high in the sky.
Hiruzen's eyes gradually became gentle.
"Old grandpa, you know so much!" Naruto listened to Hiruzen's explanation, his eyes full of surprise.
"In the face of the vast world, the existence of humanity is too tiny," Hiruzen explained gently.
"For such tiny people, are the troubles in their hearts also insignificant?" Naruto asked, his eyes becoming complex.
"Yes, the world is big, boundless…" Hiruzen answered.
The scene shifted.
At this moment, the image on the left screen suddenly stopped.
The image on the right screen appeared in everyone's eyes.
[Uzumaki Boruto: " What does this mean? "]
[Mei Terumi: " Are they going to conduct this so-called dual comparison next? "]
[Second Tsuchikage Mū: " Just as well, let's take a look at how this Boruto lives… "]
The visuals continued.
Boruto's life came into everyone's view.
Only 6 years old, Boruto had both parents alive, a younger sister, and lived in a mansion.
He had no worries about food or clothing since childhood.
He had almost no troubles.
From time to time, he would meet friends to play games, or wander around, for instance, riding the Thunder Train to travel to other countries…
The crowd watching the video saw this scene and instantly felt envious.
Holy crap, what kind of godly life is this?!
But soon, the situation changed.
At only 10 years old, due to the lack of his father's companionship, Boruto's eyes gradually filled with dissatisfaction towards his father.
"Why does everyone else have their father's company, but I don't?"
Every time he went to the Hokage Office, he only saw his father sitting in a chair pointing fingers, seemingly making no substantial contribution.
"This Hokage job, anyone could do it!"
Boruto lay on his bed, tears sliding from his eyes.
"Why was I born into such a family… Hokage or whatever, anyone can be found to do it!"
[Konoha Anbu: " That's wild, little bro (facepalm) "]
[Hagane Kotetsu: " Is this kid… serious? "]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: " Living so happily… compared to his dad, this is completely a godly life… "]
[Tsunade: " Uh, I wouldn't go that far… besides, Boruto's background is quite impressive. "]
[Senju Hashirama: " His dad is the Hokage, his mom is the Hyuga Clan Leader, this is too rich… "]
[Senju Tobirama: " Big Brother, weren't you a Hokage too? "]
[Senju Hashirama: " But my money was all managed by Mito… the nature of it is different (ó﹏ò｡) "]
[Shimura Danzo: " This Boruto is truly foolish. Do you not know how high the prestige of the Hokage is? Truly an idiot! "]
[Sarutobi Hiruzen: " Enough, Danzo. Boruto is still a child after all, there's no need to scold him like that! "]
[Shimura Danzo: " Heh, dolls of the peaceful era truly live well… "]
[Uchiha Shisui: " Lord Clan Leader, how is the Uchiha Clan doing now? "]
[Uchiha Fugaku: " ... "]
...
(Fully high-energy later on. 16-year-old Naruto becomes a hero of the Ninja World; 16-year-old Boruto becomes a rogue ninja wanted and hunted by everyone!)
