Naruto, walking down the street, gave a slight nod to the people who greeted him, then turned back to see Boruto, who was still lost in thought, and smiled.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think what my master said to you just now was too harsh? Or is there something else?"
Boruto snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. "That statement is correct. Any unfamiliar visitor from another world who wanted to do that would be stopped in the same way. I was just thinking about that issue."
He said, "My dad, that's you, is very powerful."
"That's true." Naruto's smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.
"I started cultivating with my master when I was six years old, so I only experienced a few short years of rejection."
"But your father is different. He grew up alone, and even though he had some friends, he still became a hero in the Shinobi World. That in itself is a very rare thing, even though, as Master said, it's foolish."
Naruto is not the same Naruto, but he is still very certain about the Naruto in Boruto's world.
At the very least, he tried to put himself in Naruto's shoes. When did he start to change his ways?
It probably started with what my master said to me on the swing.
"But I even missed Himawari's birthday..." Boruto stopped mid-sentence.
"Himawari? Who?"
Naruto scratched his head and asked.
"My sister." Boruto could only say this when faced with Naruto's gaze.
"Himawari's birthday?" Naruto asked thoughtfully, he probably guessed what Boruto was talking about.
Missing a daughter's birthday is indeed very unfair to a child.
However, it's not entirely true either.
After all, no matter how busy she was over the years, Hagoromo would always attend the birthday parties of her disciples, even if it was just a brief appearance.
"I can only say that Master was right. My other self is amazing, but a bit silly."
Naruto sighed, "Honestly, the pressure of growing up alone to become a hero of the Shinobi World is immense."
It's incredibly large, but those guys from another world managed to do it.
"Sometimes, sneak a peek into the Hokage's Office without your father finding out, and you'll understand what I mean."
Naruto patted Boruto on the shoulder, then gestured for Boruto to follow.
As for whether my other self will discover this, the kid following me around is clearly not an honest one, so there's no need to worry.
The Uzumaki Clan's Mansion --
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the little brat Naruto had brought back.
"Naruto, could this be his son?" Ino asked with a suspicious look; the resemblance was just too striking.
Minato and Kushina were doing the same, with Kushina also holding Hinata tightly.
If that's really the case... then she'll definitely teach Naruto a lesson and kick him out of this house!
Of course, it's fine for Hinata to stay as a daughter-in-law.
Noticing his mother's gaze and Hinata's unwavering trust in him, Naruto quickly waved his hands and said, "What?! This is Boruto Uzumaki!"
Eh--!
Upon hearing this, even Tsunade was already under abstaining from drinking, looked on with a surprised expression.
No, is this kid stupid?
Snap--
Boruto patted his forehead in exasperation; he had just called his dad stupid.
The other side of this father is also foolish.
"Hello everyone, my name is Boruto Uzumaki, but I don't belong to this world."
Upon hearing this, Tobirama, who had been sitting Tobirama, raised his head and looked at Boruto, "Not belonging to this world..."
"That's right. Although I was also Naruto Uzumaki's son in that world, my mother was Hinata Hyuga." Boruto said, pointing to Hinata next to Kushina.
Ho--
A large melon exploded open.
Hinata immediately blushed and hid in Kushina's arms, while Minato smiled.
"Tell me," Tobirama said, looking at Boruto, the only one who wasn't interrupted.
Boruto had no choice but to begin explaining, and as Boruto spoke, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan, the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, Naruto Uzumaki became a hero of the Shinobi World and the Seventh Hokage.
Tobirama stood up and approached Boruto. "So, you mean the Ōtsutsuki Clan might come because of this?"
Boruto swallowed hard and nodded.
"We didn't do it on purpose. The Ōtsutsuki Clan's Treasure Tool Karasuki away by a turbulent current, and that's how we ended up here."
Tobirama ignored Boruto's words and looked at Naruto, saying, "Do as your master says, and keep an eye on this brat."
After saying that, Tobirama disappeared from the spot.
He was going to the research institute. Judging from Hagoromo's actions, Orochimaru was probably already researching plows at that moment.
Tobirama, of course, could not take this matter lightly.
The Ōtsutsuki have been preparing for this for a long time.
"Come here, let Grandma take a look." Kushina came up to Boruto and said with a curious expression.
She felt absolutely no discomfort about identifying herself as a grandmother.
Perhaps it's because Boruto really resembles Naruto, with the same hair, the same eyes, and even a similar Naruto.
"Haven't eaten yet? Come and have something to eat with us." Minato said with a gentle expression.
Boruto stared at Minato, then looked incredulously at the Hokage Rock in the distance, "The... the Fourth Hokage!"
Snap--
Naruto gave Boruto a playful smack on the head. "Show some respect. If your dad saw you in that world, he'd have to call you 'Dad'."
"And why are you making such a fuss? The person who just left in front of you was the Second."
Boruto rubbed his forehead, only then recalling that the uncle who had just left did indeed resemble the Second of the rock statue.
Glug--
Isn't this world too fantastical?
His own grandparents are alive, and even the Second is alive?
Boruto's gaze faltered again, and he stared in disbelief at the grinning old man in the crowd, "The Third!"
"Just like Naruto when he was little, he looks so silly." Ino said to Karin beside her.
Shikamaru and Choji, standing to the side, also wore expressions of agreement. Indeed, how could they be father and son?
"Get out of here! You're all idiots!" Naruto angrily shoved the crowd away.
Boruto had already been led to the center by Minato and Kushina, where he faced the constant stream of food being offered to him and the gazes of these elders.
Boruto suddenly seemed a little dazed.
So, is this why the Fifth Hokage of this world said his father, Naruto Uzumaki, was so powerful?
On one side, there was a gathering of relatives, while on the other side, there were no other relatives besides the mother, and even the father's side at the wedding consisted only of Grandpa Iruka.
