Boruto: Feed Me Peanuts!

A few minutes earlier.

After Sasuke set him down in Konoha, Boruto raced off alone toward his home, intending to take his little sister, Himawari, with him.

Although Himawari had once driven a kunai into her own brother and killed him, Boruto didn't blame her at all.

He knew she had been trying to protect their mother. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was the true culprit behind all the tragedy!

This time, he would never let the enemy get away with it again.

Boruto sprinted at full speed. Quite a few Konoha shinobi began trying to intercept this "Boruto Otsutsuki," too.

But Boruto easily shook most of them off. Compared to Code, the Hokage, he knew Konoha's layout far better. He raced through familiar streets and alleys, quickly leaving a large number of pursuers behind.

The few shinobi he couldn't shake off, he decisively knocked unconscious.

Though his darkened self hadn't become absurdly ten times stronger, Boruto had still improved considerably lately. Even in his normal state, he had the combat strength of an elite jonin.

He had already surpassed more than eighty percent of Konoha's shinobi.

After racing along in a whirlwind, Boruto finally returned home.

Unfortunately, the warm home he remembered was gone.

All that remained for Boruto was half a ruined house. It had been knocked down by a Ten-Tails juvenile the last time, and still hadn't been fully repaired—a clear sign of how indifferent Konoha had become in the meantime.

The acting new Hokage, Uzumaki Code, who had taken the place of the Seventh Hokage's son, hadn't returned to this home even once.

For the past few days, only Himawari had stayed here, insisting that she wouldn't temporarily move somewhere else.

She had been repairing the ruined house by herself.

It was slow and exhausting, but at least it
