"Boruto, shut up!"
Uzumaki Naruto could not help turning back to scold him.
Boruto froze at first, then forcibly swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
Although silence returned to the scene, the displeasure deep in his eyes had clearly grown even stronger.
"Naruto, is this really all right?"
Gaara asked in a lowered voice from beside him.
Naruto shook his head. "There isn't much time. We should focus on the important matter first. Let's visit Lord Escanor and get to the bottom of this."

Those inexplicable words left Chojuro and the others stunned.
It was their first time
