Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for Hao Shuai to leave.
That morning, at the gates of Konoha Village,
Hao Shuai stood at the front with Tsunade and Hinata. Behind them were Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, and a group of Konoha shinobi.
During those three days, Jiraiya and the others had learned that Hao Shuai was leaving the ninja world and heading into space.
"Jiraiya, you and the others need to work with the four great ninja villages to find Jigen as quickly as possible. Once you do, eliminate him immediately."
As he prepared to leave, Hao Shuai made sure to remind Jiraiya and the others.
The Jigen he spoke of was the "vessel" of Isshiki Otsutsuki, and the main villain of Boruto.
"I've already contacted the four great ninja villages about this. We should have results soon," Kakashi said solemnly, wearing the mantle of Sixth Hokage.
In fact, over the past three days, Hao Shuai had told Konoha's leaders, Naruto, and the others about the Otsutsuki Clan.
He wanted to put some pressure on Naruto and the others, to make them realize that even though the Fourth Great Ninja War was over, powerful enemies like the Otsutsuki Clan still existed beyond their borders.
They still needed to keep training hard.
Otherwise, the entire ninja world might truly lay down its arms and let its guard down after the Fourth Great Ninja War.
That was exactly what had happened to Naruto and Sasuke in the original story.
During Shippuden, Naruto and Sasuke had both reached the peak of the Super Kage level.
But look at them more than a decade later in Boruto: neither had improved at all, to the point that they were nearly killed fighting Isshiki Otsutsuki.
They had truly disgraced the Chosen Ones!
