"Great-Uncle! Stop watching! It's your turn!"
"Oh my~~~ Honestly, young people these days have no consideration for their elders. You just had to pick a time that calls for overtime." A languid voice rang out in response to Boruto's call.
Under the moonlight, a tall figure wearing brown-tinted sunglasses sat atop the lookout tower beside the training ground, one leg crossed over the other. No one knew when he had arrived.
He rose leisurely, brushed the dust off his trousers, and turned his gaze toward the enormous beast radiating an ominous aura in the field.
"So this is the legendary 'Nue'? Just looking at him is terrifying~~"

"ROOOAR!!!"
