The four finished their barbecue.
They headed to Konoha Back Mountain together.
Young Naruto created a Shadow Clone.
It taught the three children the ninjutsu he had mastered, along with moves suited to Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki, one by one.
Young Naruto's original body, meanwhile, activated Flying Thunder God and arrived at the Hokage's Office in an instant.
Middle-aged Naruto was buried in a pile of paperwork, while Middle-aged Sasuke stood beside him. The two were discussing information about Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's true body.
Hearing footsteps, both looked up at Young Naruto as he pushed open the door and walked in.
Middle-aged Naruto spoke first. "How was it? Konoha's pretty nice, isn't it?"
Young Naruto gave a lazy reply and took a seat. "Yeah, pretty nice. The food's delicious, and Konoha's villagers are very welcoming."
Middle-aged Naruto's lips curved politely. "That's good."
Middle-aged Sasuke spoke from beside him. "You came all this way. You must have something to discuss with us."
Young Naruto shifted into a comfortable sitting position. "That's right."
"Sasuke, I've noticed that Sarada's potential is truly frightening."
He turned to Middle-aged Naruto and continued, "That kid Boruto isn't half bad, either."
Middle-aged Naruto recalled what Boruto had been like as he grew up.
Hearing Young Naruto praise his son like this left him full of doubt. "Does Boruto really have that much talent?"
Middle-aged Sasuke replied from beside him, "What kind of father are you? Your son's talent is no less than yours."
"When I taught Boruto the Rasengan last time, he could throw his Rasengan. Just before it hits its target, it disappears from sight, then strikes the enemy by surprise."
Middle-aged Naruto's eyes filled with surprise, and he laughed. "Put that way, the kid's exactly like me when I was young."
Middle-aged Sasuke said nothing.
