Chapter 14: Gradually Understanding Father...
[Kurotsuchi: "You aren't joking, right... Is this power really that strong?!"]
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki: "Is this the strength of the Seventh Hokage..."]
[Onoki: "That's not the main point... It seems Naruto is still holding back!"]
The visuals continued.
Countless hands struggled to prop up the black sphere.
Soon,
A blinding beam of white light shot out from above the sphere.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
The light swallowed everything around them. In Boruto's eyes, only his father's upright back remained...
"Listen... he is full of weaknesses and is practically good for nothing, but through his own hard work, he grew step by step into the Hokage..." Sasuke's words echoed in his mind.
"You don't need to understand the Naruto of now; you need to understand the Naruto who made it all the way here to become who he is!"
Boruto's head felt like it was exploding as he stared blankly at his father's back.
He saw that upright figure slowly turn his head, the corners of his mouth rising to reveal a smile toward him...
"Dad!!!"
BOOM!!!
The intense white light instantly swallowed everything in the vicinity.
When Boruto opened his eyes again,
What came into view was a hospital amidst the ruins. All the injured had been brought here.
It was Lord Seventh who had protected everyone...
Seeing this, the pupils of everyone watching the video constricted violently!
...
Konoha Streets.
"The Number One Unpredictable Ninja, huh..." Kakashi looked at the screen high in the sky, his gaze complex.
With Naruto's strength, knocking that sphere away should have been a piece of cake...
...
Land of Hot Water.
Inside a women's bathhouse.
Jiraiya looked at the screen in the sky, his eyes equally complex, and murmured:
"You, who aim to be Hokage... are the most outstanding! As expected of you, Naruto!"
...
In the wilderness.
Itachi looked at the screen in the sky and nodded: "Naruto, it's truly... good that Sasuke has a friend like you!"
...
[Uzumaki Kushina: "Oh no, will Naruto die in the future?!"]
[Uchiha Sarada: "No, that's impossible..."]
[Akimichi Chocho: "Wait a second, Sarada, why have your eyes turned red?"]
[Sarutobi Konohamaru (Youth): "Holy crap, it's the Sharingan!!""
[Uchiha Sasuke: "????"]
On the streets of Konoha,
Sasuke looked at the chat group messages with a face full of existential doubt: "My daughter awakened the Sharingan just like that..."
Isn't the difficulty of awakening the Sharingan supposed to be quite high?
Why was it so easy for his daughter?!
...
The visuals continued.
"Mama..." Himawari's despairing voice could be heard.
Boruto threw off his blanket and rushed anxiously toward a hospital ward, soon seeing his mother lying in a coma.
"It's okay, it's just a temporary coma..." Sakura shook her head.
"Why is she like this?"
"Seeing Naruto being taken away by those people, she rushed out subconsciously..." Sakura explained.
Hearing Aunt Sakura's answer, Boruto's eyes instantly went blank...
All of this happened because of him!
How could he have been stupid enough to use the Scientific Ninja Tool... If he hadn't used it, perhaps the enemies wouldn't have unleashed those jutsu!
He was truly stupid beyond belief!
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "Knowing she couldn't win, she still chose to save her loved one..."]
[Shimura Danzo: "Truly foolish. Naruto is completely unfit to be Hokage! This Hinata is a fool too!"]
[Senju Tobirama: "Enough, Danzo, shut your mouth! I haven't settled the score with you regarding the Uchiha matters yet!"]
[Third Kazekage: "Danzo, this guy's character is really bad..."]
[Hanzo of the Salamander: "Seeing everyone scolding Danzo puts my mind at ease!"]
[Mizukage Terumi Mei: "Danzo must be the Ninja World's number one scumbag, right?"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Mizukage, be a bit more confident. Remove the words 'must be'!"]
The visuals continued.
With a complex look in his eyes, Boruto sprinted out of the hospital.
Everything around him was a massive ruin. Under the debris and wreckage, numerous critically injured patients were receiving treatment.
Boruto ran through the ruins with all his might, tears bursting from his eyes...
Because he was running too fast and not paying attention, he tripped over a suitcase on the road.
Boruto looked up and immediately saw the Scientific Ninja Tool on his wrist.
In that moment, Boruto truly understood what despair felt like!
He quickly tore off the Scientific Ninja Tool and smashed it angrily onto the ground...
At this moment,
He stood up shakily and continued walking forward... walking aimlessly...
Just then,
Sasuke picked up the Scientific Ninja Tool from the ground and watched Boruto silently.
It seemed that Boruto was beginning to understand his father...
Click.
Boruto walked into the office, his heart filled with the expectation of seeing his father there again.
However, contrary to his wishes, the office was empty.
At this moment, sorrowful music began to play slowly.
Many of those watching the video began to feel heartache for Boruto...
Losing a father overnight would be unbearable for anyone!
...
[Hatake Kakashi: "By the way, why haven't I appeared in the video yet..."]
[Uchiha Obito: "Trash Kakashi, maybe you're already dead..."]
[Hatake Kakashi: "Perhaps... Obito, I will come to join you too..."]
[Uchiha Obito: "."]
[Senju Tobirama: "Why do I feel like this Obito isn't dead yet..."]
[Uchiha Madara: "???"]
[Uchiha Tekka: "You dumbass Tobirama, trying to smear our Uchiha clan again. Obito is a hero of our clan; he sacrificed himself to protect his comrades!"]
[Namikaze Minato: "Second Hokage-sama, Obito is my student. He is different from other Uchiha clan members... his personality is very friendly!"]
[Uzumaki Kushina: "You Senju white-hair, slandering my Obito, are you asking for a beating?"]
[Senju Tobirama: "@Uchiha Obito, Hmph, looks like my senses were wrong. This old man apologizes to you."]
[Uchiha Obito: "It's fine..."]
The visuals continued.
The sound of the violin became increasingly deep and low...
Boruto's mind constantly replayed the words he had said before, finding them incredibly ironic.
When Dad was little, Grandpa and Grandma weren't around. He was all alone and destitute...
Boruto originally thought,
That having no family around would be a very free life.
After all, without parental restrictions, he could play games, wouldn't have to go to school, and wouldn't have to listen to parents nagging every day...
But now, Boruto just wanted to slap himself hard in the face twice.
He picked up his father's old clothes from the desk.
He gripped it tightly, then gently draped it over himself.
Seeing this scene, everyone watching the video was amazed.
This father and son were too alike, weren't they?
[Uzumaki Kushina: "It's like a clone... Boruto looks way too much like Naruto!!""
[Haruno Sakura: "Indeed... just by changing clothes, I almost couldn't recognize him!"]
[Uzumaki Naruto: "Is the resemblance really that strong?"]
[Haruno Sakura: "Really, truer than pearls!!""
