Shadow Clone's Daily Life

In the early morning, the sun rose with a soft glow, and Boruto (Shadow Clone) woke up in bed.

Noticing that the original hadn't returned overnight, he guessed that he might have run into trouble on his way to the moon. He, the unlucky clone, was going to have a hard time, because if a fight broke out, he'd be exposed if he wasn't careful!

So, Boruto planned to avoid fighting as much as possible during this time, and hide whenever he could, trying to hold out until the original returned.

However, as soon as he went out in the morning, he encountered Metal Lee acting like a madman, constantly chasing after his classmates and attacking them.

Boruto: Sumire Kakei, you old six, I really want to chop you up right now!

The Jōgan automatically activated the moment it saw Metal Lee. The pale blue eye contained a different kind of brilliance, clearly seeing the 'Ghost' coiling around Metal Lee.

As Rock Lee's son, Metal Lee's taijutsu was naturally outstanding. With his temporary overcoming of his nervousness, the crazed Metal Lee's combat power soared.

This caused several classmates to struggle. Iwabee, enraged, even raised his iron rod, ready to teach him a lesson!

"Iwabee, calm down! First, think of a way to trap him!" Denki suggested softly from the side.

Shikadai, on the other hand, had a bitter expression on his face, panting heavily. He had originally wanted to apologize to Metal Lee, but he had been chased and beaten for a long time.

With his chakra reserves, the Shadow Imitation Technique he used couldn't restrain the frenzied Metal Lee at all.

"I know," Iwabee said impatiently, but he didn't use any offensive ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

Four thick pillars of earth and stone immediately rose around Metal Lee. Just as Metal Lee was slightly puzzled, the four pillars quickly extended, turning into a cube shape, trapping him inside.

"Did it work?" Denki asked weakly.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

With a bang, Metal Lee burst out of the wall handsomely, and with a few turns, quickly kicked towards Shikadai.

At this moment, Boruto quickly stepped forward, and the Rasengan, the size of a ping pong ball, flew out of his palm, smashing towards Metal Lee's chest.

Similarly, the Rasengan disappeared in mid-air, but Metal Lee, who was good at identifying sounds, still noticed the Rasengan approaching. He quickly landed in mid-air, then suddenly stomped his feet and bounced sideways.

The Rasengan exploded not far away. Metal Lee didn't stay where he was and rushed over again.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Iwabee erected a huge wall in front of him.

Afterward, the others quickly retreated, creating distance.

The Earth Flow Wall was quickly shattered by Metal Lee, but Boruto, who possessed the Jōgan, could see through things. Aiming at the spot where Metal Lee broke through, he threw a compressed Rasengan over.

Boom—

The huge rotational force smashed Metal Lee backward. The Rasengan flew to him just as he broke through the wall, giving him no time to react.

Shikadai seized the opportunity and used the Shadow Imitation Technique to immobilize Metal Lee. Iwabee stepped forward to deliver the final blow.

...Afterward, the Ghost on Metal Lee dissipated, and Shikadai personally went up to help him up.

"Boruto's ninjutsu is called Rasengan, right? It's indeed a very powerful ninjutsu," Iwabee praised.

"My Rasengan is still far from the Seventh's," Boruto sighed slightly.

The reason why Metal Lee wasn't seriously injured was because Boruto was a clone at this time, and the power of the Rasengan was many times weaker.

Shikadai chimed in at this time: "Oh? You didn't say anything bad about your dad this time, that's rare!"

"Stop talking nonsense, we're going to be late for class!" Boruto shouted, trying to change the subject.

The others who had recovered couldn't help but laugh and quickly ran towards the school.

Hokage Building.

Naruto returned to the office, while Shikamaru had been helping Naruto process documents all night.

"Yo, you're back so soon. How was it? Did you figure out the situation with the Child of Prophecy?" Shikamaru asked.

"More or less. The amount of information I brought back this time is a bit hard to accept," Naruto said in a low mood.

"Tell me about it."

"An enemy, and a strong one on the same level as Kaguya, will come to the ninja world in the near future," Naruto whispered.

"Huh?!" Shikamaru couldn't believe it.

But seeing Naruto's low mood, he had already accepted this statement in his heart. "Is it the Great Toad Sage's prophecy?"

"Yeah," Naruto nodded.

"This is bad. We finally sealed Kaguya after so much difficulty in the last ninja war, and now there's an even greater threat?"

"Yeah," Naruto scratched his head and suggested, "I've decided to convene a Five Kage Summit immediately to make this matter public."

"Don't rush. There's no concrete evidence for this matter yet. Although I trust the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, other ninja villages may not.

Moreover, the specific time of the enemy's arrival is unknown, which will put us in a very passive situation."

Shikamaru analyzed methodically while asking, "What about the Child of Prophecy? Do you know who he is? Or is there any way to find him?"

Naruto shook his head helplessly: "The Great Toad Sage only said that he will appear when the ninja world is in danger."

"I see." Shikamaru couldn't help but ponder countermeasures.

However, the existing amount of information was too little to sort out any useful information. Shikamaru, considering all possibilities, asked, "Sasuke Uchiha, who possesses eyes on the same level as the Sage of Six Paths, should have different findings, right?"

At this point, he could only place his hopes on Sasuke's Rinnegan.

"Sasuke is still investigating Kaguya's ruins. So far, he hasn't found any useful information."

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Right now, all we can do is strengthen the village's defenses and research sealing techniques. When necessary, we may need... the power of the Tailed Beasts."

"Ah. Kurama, what do you think?" Naruto asked the Nine-Tails in his body.

"Hmph, it's only been a few years since our last fight, when did you become such a coward! Don't forget you're still the liaison for all nine Tailed Beasts, we'll lend you our power when necessary."

"Haha, thanks," Naruto said with a smile.

"The Chunin Exams are coming up soon, we can move the date forward and inform the other ninja villages while the Five Kage are gathered."

"Ah, for now, let's do that."

Back to the classroom, or rather, the training grounds.

Today's lesson was teaching the students how to use the Summoning Technique. A ninjutsu that, once a contract is signed, allows you to summon your contracted partner to your side from anywhere.

And Konohamaru-sensei was also invited to personally demonstrate the Summoning Technique to the students.

With a poof of white smoke, a giant Toad appeared at Konohamaru's feet. The young figure standing on the Toad's back stood tall and confident, smiling with assurance.

"This is, the Summoning Technique!"

As he spoke, applause and praise erupted from below the stage, "Konohamaru-sensei is so cool!"

Boruto: Damn it, with this little amount of chakra from my Shadow Clone, I'm afraid I'll only be able to summon a tadpole.

While bitterly cursing, he suddenly remembered that this afternoon, there was a so-called mixed-gender ninjutsu battle.

Oh, heavens!!!

Just spare me, I might as well just give up!
