Child of Destiny

It was still that night, the moon was sparse, and the lights were bright.

Inside the Hokage building, awake along with the moon, was Naruto, diligently working.

Looking at the mountain of documents, even Naruto felt a headache, struggling to deal with all sorts of problems.

Just then, the door to the office opened, and it was Shikamaru, Naruto's strategist, bringing a cup of hot coffee.

"Take a break. As the pillar of the village, you can't fall."

"Ah, isn't my hard work all for the happiness of the villagers?" Naruto took the coffee, forcing a smile.

The two dark circles under his eyes still reflected Naruto's current state. Almost like kidney deficiency!

Just as Naruto was sipping his coffee, enjoying a moment of rest, suddenly, with a poof, a messenger toad appeared in a puff of smoke.

"Oh, it's a communication toad from Mount Myōboku," Naruto said, taking the scroll from the toad's hand.

[Little Naruto, the Great Toad Sage has had a prophecy! It's about the Child of Destiny. The Shinobi World may be in big trouble!]

"What information could make your expression change so drastically?" Shikamaru asked, leaning closer.

"Here," Naruto said, handing the scroll to Shikamaru.

Hmm... After reading the information, the two of them frowned, unable to make sense of the situation.

"Child of Destiny, huh? That's quite a title," Naruto said with a light chuckle, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

Shikamaru, knowing Naruto's past, quickly understood. Naruto had also been called the 'Child of Prophecy' before. Because of that, Jiraiya, one of the Konoha Sannin, traveled the Shinobi World for years before finally confirming that Naruto was the Child of Prophecy.

And Naruto lived up to expectations, changing the course of the Shinobi World with his own strength, truly achieving peace and development!

So, in contrast, the appearance of this 'Child of Destiny' probably also implies that a disaster is about to occur in the Shinobi World.

"Ah, what kind of trouble will it be...?"

"Why don't you go to Mount Myōboku yourself? Leave the work here to me!" Shikamaru, also aware of the seriousness of the situation, immediately offered to take on Naruto's workload.

"I'm counting on you, Shikamaru," Naruto said, finishing his coffee in one gulp, then speaking to the messenger toad, "Tell Shima to summon me over."

On the other side of Mount Myōboku, after waiting for a long time for Naruto's response, Shima Sage couldn't help but sigh that little Naruto was too busy, and only now had time to come over.

In the past, these two sages would have summoned him directly, without caring what Naruto was doing!

With a sigh, Shima Sage quickly formed hand seals and used the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon Naruto.

At the same time, in the mottled night sky, under the bright moonlight, a small black dot was falling rapidly.

Against the backdrop of the dark environment, the two powerful dōjutsu in his eyes shone like lanterns.

One was the Jōgan, its pale blue light flickering faintly, able to see through all illusions and reality.

The other was the Tenseigan, its water-blue eyeball seemingly engraved with a snowflake-like pattern, simple and beautiful at the same time, also giving Boruto the ability to fly (repulsion and attraction).

Soon, Boruto's position dropped to a considerable height. In his eyes, the flow of the wind, the veins of the leaves, and the scattered light of the lamps all became extremely clear and transparent, giving him a sense of control.

However, just as he was about to land, an unexpected change occurred. Boruto's right eye suddenly emitted a strong, dazzling light, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day.

At the same time, strange vortexes surged in the space around Boruto, swallowing his entire body.

A moment later, the sky returned to normal, the sun slowly rose, and everything was running normally, as if the scene just now was nothing more than a blurry vision upon waking up.

In the space-time tunnel, Boruto, feeling baffled, was inexplicably sucked in. Along with Naruto, he was summoned to Mount Myōboku.

Boruto quickly calmed down. The Jōgan's ability is to open other dimensions. Could it be that some space was disturbed just now, so it was captured by the Jōgan and he automatically entered?

Boruto, who arrived at Mount Myōboku later, fell onto a giant plant leaf. He was stunned for a moment before slowly getting up, looking around at this vibrant world.

First, there were the strange plants, and... giant toads? Mount Myōboku?

The well-informed Boruto had seen Mount Myōboku on TV, so he knew where he had been transported to immediately.

Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about. After all, Mount Myōboku was a sacred place for immortals, and he could take this opportunity to learn Sage Mode!

And those who could enter Mount Myōboku, as far as Boruto knew, besides Naruto, were probably just Konohamaru.

The plants and animals of Mount Myōboku were enormous. If he wasn't standing on high ground, just walking on the ground, he would probably get lost in the maze of giant plant roots and leaves and despair!

Using the Tenseigan to float, Boruto slowly familiarized himself with the state of flying. He constantly adjusted the output of Chakra, controlling the attraction and repulsion in a subtle way, so that the two reached a delicate balance, allowing him to move normally in the air.

Since it was a sacred place, the natural energy was exceptionally abundant. Taking a breath was like swallowing the entire forest into his lungs, and then exhaling it lightly.

Repeating this cycle, Boruto felt like his body was glowing! Probably a sign that his physique was being activated.

On the other side, Naruto went to the main hall and greeted the two sages he hadn't seen in many years with enthusiasm.

"Long time no see, little Naruto. The Hokage's work must be hard on you."

"Long time no see, Fukasaku, Shima."

After a brief greeting, Naruto asked the main reason for his visit: "Regarding the Child of Destiny, what did Great Toad Sage Gamamaru dream about?"

"Uh... the Sage, he's still sleeping..."

"However, Naruto, I've specially prepared a lavish meal. While we wait for the Sage to awaken, you can rest and relax." Grandma Shima greeted Naruto with enthusiasm, gesturing to pull him into her home as a guest.

Fortunately, Gamamaru, hearing the commotion, woke up and lay back in his chair, still drowsy.

In the center of the hall, Gamamaru opened his eyes, half-lidded, and said, "This Child of Destiny seems extremely strange. Even I can't see through its origins. All I see is that in the future, it will lead its companions to face enemies multiple times in the Shinobi World!"

"Face enemies? Are there enemies so strong that even Naruto can't stop them?" Fukasaku still looked puzzled.

"I don't know. I didn't see Naruto's shadow in the future. The only thing visible was a young man with bi-colored eyes, desperately protecting the Shinobi World.

As for the enemy, that's a long story, involving the progenitor of Chakra, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!"

These words immediately shocked the two toads below.

The Shinobi War of over a decade ago was still fresh in their minds. Back then, Team Seven barely managed to seal Kaguya away with the Yin-Yang Release power granted by the Sage of Six Paths.

And now, according to Gamamaru, the future Shinobi World would encounter enemies on the same level as Kaguya?

Naruto's expression turned serious, and he clenched his fists almost imperceptibly, finding it difficult to calm the shock in his heart.

"Kaguya, as an alien, didn't hesitate to sacrifice most of humanity and cultivate a large White Zetsu army just to be able to contend with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, its other members!"

Gamamaru's words were like a thunderclap, resounding in Naruto's heart. There were enemies even more terrifying than Kaguya?

Shima Sage noticed the shock on Naruto's face and quickly asked, "Then how do we find this Child of Destiny?"

"It seems to be hidden in the shadows, desperately concealing its identity. In the vast Shinobi World, if a powerful ninja truly wants to hide, probably no one can find them.

But... when the Shinobi World encounters a strong enemy, it will immediately appear and resolve the crisis."

Listening to Gamamaru's description, Naruto thought of a friend he hadn't seen in many years, Sasuke. Could it be a disciple he'd taken in outside?

"Mount Myōboku seems to have other guests..." Gamamaru said, then closed his eyes again, slowly drifting into sleep.

"Great Toad Sage?... The Sage has fallen asleep again," Fukasaku sighed.

"However, who else could the Sage be talking about besides Naruto, who can be reverse-summoned?"

"Perhaps it's one of Naruto's companions. Did you bring any guests with you?" Shima asked.

Naruto shook his head in denial. "I came alone."

"That's strange. Could it be a prodigy like Little Jiraiya, who accidentally summoned himself here?" Fukasaku wondered, slowly entering Sage Mode.

Sage Mode has the ability to sense. He wanted to directly find Boruto.

At this time, Boruto, because his entire body was filled with natural energy, was no different from the surrounding environment, and he narrowly avoided Fukasaku's Sage Mode detection.

After searching around, Fukasaku shook his head. "I can't find him."

"How strange. Could it be that the guest hasn't arrived yet? Is this also within the scope of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy?"

But Naruto was clearly unable to pay attention to it now. A new powerful enemy had appeared in the Shinobi World, an enemy on Kaguya's level. If necessary, the matter of convening a Hokage Summit had to be prepared as soon as possible.

"Then, Grandpa Fukasaku, Grandma Shima, I'll head back first."

"Won't you have breakfast before you leave?" Shima asked, looking disappointed.

"Thank you, but I have more important things to do right now," Naruto said with a wry smile, declining.

The two Sages nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
