"Alright, Obito, it's all over, isn't it?" At this moment, Rin's gentle smile gradually pulled Obito out of his gloom.

Yes, I still have Rin with me, Kakashi, Minato-sensei, and Kushina- nee.

He's much happier than Madara Uchiha.

At that moment, Obito looked at the angelic Rin in front of him and, as if possessed, took Rin's hand.

The two walked down the street in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations like a young couple.

"Alright, Madara, don't be angry. I'll help you catch Black Zetsu, and then the two of us will beat that beast to death," Konoha Senju comforted him at Ichiraku Ramen in Hashirama Senju.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha thought about his own fate. "Damn it! I was clearly ranked number one among the Kage Level fighters in the Shinobi World, yet Black Zetsu ripped out my heart."

He was so angry that even the Ichiraku Ramen in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.

"Your ramen isn't authentic!" Madara slammed his hand on the table and roared.

At this moment, a slightly plump woman came out. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know that this was Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku, the daughter of Ayame. How did she get so fat?

"Look at what you're saying, sir. We run a ramen shop, how could our ramen not be authentic?" Ayame replied with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Hashirama Senju immediately stopped Madara from casting any further spells, as he had a feeling that Madara was about to pull out a knife.

"Sorry, my brother isn't the sharpest brain, please don't take it to heart," Hashirama Senju a smile.

"Who's your brother?" Madara's first words weren't denying the matter of his brain, but rather denying the matter of his brotherhood.

As expected, Madara Uchiha didn't want to be Hashirama Senju's brother. So what did he want to be?

At this moment, Boruto was walking listlessly through the streets of Konoha, accompanied by his uncle, who was about the same age as him, and Himawari, who was clinging to his uncle.

"Are you really my uncle?" Xiang Rigui asked, somewhat excited but also a little embarrassed.

"Himawari, didn't Mom say that?" Boruto said, dissatisfied.

Neji was also looking at them happily. To be honest, he didn't want to go back. This was the place he should be returning to.

"Speaking of Uncle Neji, when did you accept Dad?" Boruto asked curiously.

My dad never talks about his childhood. If my grandparents hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that my dad was just as mischievous as me when he was little.

Boruto even came up with his excuse for being caught on the Hokage Rock next time. "Dad, didn't you do that all the time when you were young?"

At this moment, Neji was also lost in memories, wondering when he had begun to acknowledge Naruto.

Perhaps it's the Chunin Ninja Exams.

[Neji Hyuga: Why do you so want to defy your fate?]

Naruto: Because other people... said I was a loser!

Neji: Hmph, to use Shadow Clone Technique so quickly under those circumstances... that's your best Ninjutsu... I was too careless.

Naruto: I... failed the school's graduation exam three times in a row.

Neji:??

Naruto: I have terrible luck because every time I graduate, the Ninjutsu test... is always the Ninjutsu I'm worst at. Actually, the Clone Technique... is the Ninjutsu I'm worst at using.

Naruto: Don't look so gloomy... and say such boring things like "fate can't be changed"! Because you're different from me, you're not a loser.

Perhaps it was from somewhere that I began to admire Naruto for daring to change his own destiny.

(Actually, Neji place.)

Chunin Ninja Exams, Neji tells Naruto, "Everyone is born carrying a destiny that they cannot defy from the moment they are born. Your destiny is to lose to me, and you will definitely lose."

Naruto won at that time, and for a long time afterward, I always thought of it as an inspirational story about a loser becoming a great person through hard work.

Until Kishimoto told me that Naruto and Sasuke, Hashirama and Madara were the reincarnations of Asura and Indra.

I really want to tell Neji on the Chunin Ninja Exams that Naruto's destiny is far greater than the destiny you, a genius of the Naruto Hyuga Clan, bear. You think he will definitely lose to you only because you are not as talented as him.

The central idea at the beginning was to break free from the shackles of fate, but it eventually transformed into a theory of destiny.

"Uncle Neji, want to go play video games? I want to go with Shikadai and the others." Boruto thought that although Uncle Neji was older than him, he would probably like this kind of thing.

"But Mom won't let you take Uncle Neji out," Himawari quickly interjected.

"Aunt Tian invited Uncle Neji to go to the movies Tenten, and Mom said that my brother isn't allowed to bother Uncle Neji." At this point, Himawari brought up her mother.

"Indeed, I'm sorry, Boruto." Neji knew that his identity made it somewhat inappropriate for him to be with them. Shikadai was apparently Shikamaru's son, and Shikamaru would call him "senpai" whenever he saw him.

"Okay then, Uncle, remember to come back to my house for dinner tonight. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad will all be there." With that, Boruto happily ran off to the arcade.

Watching Boruto walk away, Neji picked up Himawari and put her on his neck, seemingly already used to being his uncle.

"Let's go out and play!" Himawari said happily.

Just then, Boruto was jogging along, ran right into Sarada.

"Hello, Sarada," Boruto, unusually taking the initiative to greet her.

"Who is this?" Boruto noticed two unfamiliar faces beside Sarada.

"This is my uncle, Uchiha Itachi, and this is my uncle's girlfriend Uchiha Izumi," Sarada explained, while looking at Boruto with utter disdain.

"Girlfriend..." How could young Izumi possibly accept that? His face immediately turned red.

Boruto looked a little embarrassed; Sarada probably didn't know she was going to the arcade.

"I could hear you from across the street. Instead of going to keep your sister company, you went to the arcade," Sarada said sarcastically.

"Hehe, I'm off then, but don't tell my mom!" With that, Boruto skipped and jumped away.

Sarada had never seen Boruto so happy before.

"Sarada seems quite happy too," Uchiha Itachi remarked.

Sarada is definitely talking much more than usual today.

"Oh no, I talked too much on the way here, the supermarket is about to close, and my grandparents asked me to buy groceries." Sarada suddenly remembered her mission.

It's all my fault for being so busy talking that I forgot my task; my uncle didn't even remind me.

"Was Uncle this amazing even when he was little? I always felt like I was really stupid," Sarada started talking again.

"Buying groceries? No problem. Grandma and Mom are going too. What's wrong with us kids being a little playful? "Sarada thought to herself.

"Sarada is already amazing," Uchiha Izumi said on Sarada's behalf.

To be able to unleash such powerful Ninjutsu at the same age made Izumi a little envious, but that was just a fleeting envy, because Izumi really didn't like fighting and killing.
