[After leaving home, Boruto Uzumaki was holding half of Anko bread in his mouth, his schoolbag was swinging behind his back, and he was running in the direction of Train station.]

[From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Train station in front of him, and then his eyes lit up and he accelerated even more vigorously.]

["Denki! Wait for me!"]

[On the platform, the public Train leading to the school is making a "didi" closing sound. A young man with short black hair, a bun on the back of his head, and black-rimmed glasses is holding a portable computer and slowly raising his feet to get into the car.]

[Hearing the shout, he turned his head timidly.]

[At the moment when the car door was about to close, Boruto, a standard ninja sliding shovel, squeezed in through the gap and successfully got into the car!]

["Huh... Huh... I've caught up!" Boruto gasped while holding his knees, and took down the bread in his mouth.]

[Denki Kaminarimon looked at his embarrassment, subconsciously pushed up his glasses, and whispered: "It's Boruto! Good morning."]

[His voice sounded weak, with a strong sense of exhaustion. His face, which was already weak, had blue circles under his eyes, and even his iconic little bun looked lackluster.]

["Good morning... no," Boruto straightened up, stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth in a few mouthfuls, looked at Denki carefully, and frowned, "Denki, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so bad, as if you haven't slept for several days, and the dark circles are so heavy."]

[Denki was leaning against the wall at the junction of the carriages, as if it was difficult to even stand.]

[He rubbed his sore temples and said in a low voice: "I don't know, maybe it's because I haven't slept well recently. I've been having nightmares for several days in a row."]

[His already lackluster eyes added a hint of irritability and worry, "The content of the dream was messy, but when I woke up, I felt very tired and my heart was stuffy."]

["Maybe the graduation exam is too stressful? You know, my dad always wanted me to inherit the company and didn't want me to be a ninja."]

["If you fail this exam and fail to graduate..." He did not continue, but his pursed lips and arms hugging the computer said everything.]

[Boruto was about to pat him on the shoulder and say some usual comforting words such as "Don't worry, you can do it" or "Show your dad how good you are".]

[Suddenly, his right eye turned white without warning. In his field of vision, Denki, who was leaning against the wall, was suddenly covered with a very faint black outline.]

[Boruto clearly saw a blurry, twisted black shadow clinging to Denki's back like a leech!]

[What's even more creepy is that when Boruto focused his vision out of fear, the black shadow seemed to sense something, and the head position that was originally close to Denki's back suddenly turned 180 degrees!]

[A face with no facial features, only two hollow-like hollows, "looks" at Boruto.]

[The next second, as if sensing some kind of threat, the black shadow suddenly bounced off Denki!]

[It broke away from Denki, moved as fast as a ghost, drew an unnatural fold line in mid-air, directly penetrated the closed Train window, and instantly disappeared into the scenery passing by outside the car.]

["Uh-huh!" Denki suddenly let out a short grunt, his body swayed, and he almost lost his balance, and the computer in his arms also slipped.]

[He took a few deep breaths, as if some kind of Formless burden had been lifted off him.]

["Ghost!" Boruto didn't care about this. He rushed to the car window where the black shadow just passed through, almost pressing his entire face against the glass, and looked down eagerly.]

[However, Train is driving at high speed, and there are only blurry street scenes and early people outside the window. Where is the trace of the strange black figure?]

[He quickly turned around, grabbed the still dazed Denki's arm, and asked in an excited voice: "Denki! Did you feel it just now? That thing lying on your back! It's dark, like a shadow and a mud monster! It just jumped out of the car and ran away with a 'swish'!"]

[Denki was scratched in pain by Boruto. He blinked blankly, adjusted his glasses, looked at the wall he was leaning on just now, and then looked at Boruto's face full of horror: "Boruto, are you okay? What's the dark shadow? I didn't see anything."]

[He showed a more confused and slightly uneasy expression, and said weakly, "It was you who suddenly yelled at the window just now..."]

[At this time, Boruto suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the carriage was not right.]

[Originally there were not many passengers in Train early in the morning, just a few office workers, students and the elderly. At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.]

[There is no fear in those eyes, only dissatisfaction with being disturbed.]

[Could it be that none of them saw the black shadow? Only you can see it?]

["Ding dong! The next stop is in front of the Ninja Academy. Passengers getting off the bus, please be ready."]

[Train's arrival announcement sounded at the right time, breaking the slightly awkward and eerie silence in the carriage.]

["Ah, we're here!" Denki quickly bowed slightly and apologized to the passengers around him, "I'm sorry, sorry, my friend may have been obsessed with watching a movie and disturbed everyone. I'm very sorry!"]

[After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but hold the computer in one hand, and with the other hand he picked up Boruto, who was still in a daze, his eyes scanning every shadow corner of the car with uncertainty, and pulled him down Train, almost half dragging and half dragging him.]

["Boruto, what's wrong with you?" Denki looked at him worriedly.]

[Boruto rubbed his right eye vigorously, took a deep breath, and gave a carefree smile: "Ah? It's okay! Maybe it was because I watched the movie too late yesterday, and I kept thinking about those transformation scenes, so I was a little dazzled!"]

["Haha, let's go, let's go, we're going to be late!" As he said this, he couldn't help but put his arm around Denki's shoulders and pushed him toward school.]

[Walking into the familiar Ninja Academy Teaching building, the noisy voices slightly dispelled some of the haze in Boruto's heart.]

[As soon as he entered the door of his class, his eyes couldn't help but look at Sarada Uchiha sitting in the front row.]

[She was adjusting her glasses and looking down at the open textbook. She seemed to sense the gaze and raised her eyes to look over.]

[The two men's eyes briefly met in the air.]

["Hmph." Boruto immediately turned his head and made a snort of disdain.]

["Huh." Almost at the same time, Sarada also had a cold face, pushed up his glasses, and turned his eyes back to the book, as if "Who cares to look at you?"]
