["Attack power 4500!!!" Boruto looked desperately at the terrifying Monster in front of him.]
["Fight." Haimā's voice was cold and bone-chilling, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Burst Stream of Destruction of triple destruction!!!"]
["It's not over yet!" Boruto waved his hand suddenly, "Open the cover card 'Dice of Doom'! Throw the dice once, and your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack power will be reduced by 100 points!"]
[A little devil holds the dice, and the final rotation stops at six!]
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack power 4500 → 3900.]
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon attack power 3200.]
[Bang! Red-Eyes Black Dragon was turned into pieces under the attack of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Boruto's health value was 4000→3300.]
["It's okay, I still have hope!" Boruto seems to have seen the dawn of a comeback.]
["It's so superficial!" Haimā's voice sounded like thunder, "Do you think this is the end? Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon can attack three times in a row in one round."]
["Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon continue to attack!" followed by the cold voice of Haimā.]
[The destructive white light directly bombards him.]
[Boruto health 3300 → 0]
[Boruto fell to his knees weakly, unable to accept this moment of defeat.]
[Haimā put away Duel Disk, did not even look at Boruto, turned and left, leaving only a cold and contemptuous word, echoing in Silent Duel Arena:]
["You can't even predict the basic back-up, and you want to reach the top just by relying on ridiculous connections and luck?"]
["Your tactics, like your deck, are full of second-rate aura. A second-rate duelist who uses such a second-rate deck and has second-rate consciousness deserves to be called the 'king'? It's really ridiculous."]
[With a flick of the white cloak, Haimā's figure disappeared at the entrance of the duel arena, leaving only Boruto Uzumaki, who suffered a heavy defeat and mental shock, standing stunned on the spot.]
["Boruto! Are you okay?" Shikadai Nara was the first to rush forward, holding his friend's shoulders with a worried tone.]
[He clearly saw the whole process of the duel. It was not something that luck or fetters could make up for. It was an absolute gap in strength.]
[Boruto took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down his violent heartbeat and turbulent emotions, and stood up slowly. He shook his head, his voice a little hoarse:]
["I'm fine. It's just that the person just now was really strong. I'm no match for him." This was the first time he admitted his defeat so frankly, his tone full of frustration.]
[Shikadai sighed and held his forehead: "How many times have I told you, at your level, it's okay to dominate Konoha with just that little bit of magic."]
["This is Battle City! A place where truly strong people gather. There are more duelists than ants who want to be famous here." Although his words may not sound good, they are a stark reality.]
[Boruto Uzumaki is in an extremely low mood. He no longer has the high spirits he had when he swept across all directions. He just silently puts away Duel Disk and his deck.]
[Seeing this, the group lost interest in continuing the tour. According to the original plan, they returned to the hotel arranged for them by Iwagakure.]
[At night, Naruto Uzumaki returned to the hotel exhausted.]
[He opened the door and immediately noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, because his son Boruto was not playing Yugi as usual, or talking about today's "achievements" in a blaring manner.]
[Instead, a person is sitting on the edge of the bed listlessly, with his head lowered, and his whole body exudes the aura of "I'm very depressed."]
["Hey, Boruto, what's wrong? It doesn't look like you to be downcast." Naruto tried his best to sound relaxed, walked over and rubbed his son's blond hair.]
[Boruto did not raise his head, nor did he shy away impatiently as usual.]
[Shikadai on the side saw this and explained: "Seventh Hokage, it's nothing serious."]
["Just today when we played Yu-Gi-Oh! at Battle City, Boruto lost. Maybe he couldn't accept it for a while."]
[Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed a little. He patted Boruto on the back and enlightened with his traditional ninja thinking:]
["Oh, I thought something big happened! Isn't it just that I lost a Yugi? As a man, winning or losing is a normal thing for a military man! What do you mean when you look like this? As a ninja, how can you just because of one..."]
["You don't understand anything!!"]
[Boruto suddenly raised his head and interrupted his father loudly, his blue eyes filled with grievance, anger and incomprehensible excitement.]
[He yelled at Naruto: "This is not an ordinary Yugi at all! You don't understand anything!!"]
[After yelling, he pushed Naruto away and rushed out of the room without looking back. The sound of slamming the door echoed in the room.]
[Naruto was stunned by his son's sudden outburst, and subconsciously wanted to chase him out.]
["Wait, Naruto."]
[Sasuke Uchiha, who had been leaning quietly by the window, stretched out his hand and stopped him.]
[Sasuke's eyes were profound and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He spoke calmly and in a low voice he comforted: "Times have changed, give him some space of his own."]
[Naruto looked at his friend, then at the door that was still shaking slightly, and finally stopped. He just sighed deeply, and the worry between his eyebrows deepened.]
Outside Canopy Screen, in the sealed space of Naruto, Nine-Tails looked at Naruto, and a voice full of ridicule sounded in his mind.
"What's wrong, kid? You have been clamoring for 'mutual understanding', but in the future you won't even be able to understand your own son? How ironic, hahaha!"
Nine-Tails's laughter echoed in Naruto's consciousness, with a bit of schadenfreude.
Naruto looked at the joking giant scarlet eyes in the iron cage, his eyes a little dim. He raised his head and looked at Nine-Tails, with rare vulnerability in his eyes:
"Nine-Tails, that's because I have had no parents since I was a child. No one taught me how to be a father. I don't even know what a normal father should look like."
"So I definitely don't know what to do in the future!!!"
These words were like a Formless needle, gently piercing the heart of the huge being behind the cage.
Nine-Tails's mocking laughter stopped abruptly.
Because Naruto's biological parents were killed by him, then it suddenly remembered Sage of Six Paths, who was both the creator and a father-like existence.
Silence filled the sealed space for a moment.
"Hmph!" Nine-Tails turned away from the huge head and blew out a hot breath through his nose. His tone was still rough, but a little less sarcastic.
"Stupid kid! Just say some weak words! Forget it, just think that I pity you!"
As if giving alms, it glanced at Naruto out of the corner of its eye and added angrily:
"If you need to borrow my Chakra again in the future, or use your weird Talismans, let me out to stretch my muscles."
"I promise that I won't go against you for the time being and will reluctantly cooperate with you! Otherwise, you won't be able to handle your son in the future and will embarrass me!"
Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then his blue eyes suddenly lit up, as if the sun had cleared through the clouds.
An extremely bright, slightly silly smile suddenly broke out on his face, and he almost jumped and shouted:
"Really?! That's great! I knew it! Nine-Tails, you are indeed the best!!"
Seeing Naruto's instantly resurrected and cheerful look, Nine-Tails snorted again in his heart, lay down again, and closed his eyes, as if he had never said anything just now.
But the tip of its huge tail swaying slightly seemed to reveal a hint of its restless mood.
