"When Boruto becomes Hokage, I'll be able to spend more time with you."

In the square where the Hokage's succession ceremony took place, Naruto stood by Hinata's side and whispered.

Because it was his son who was elected Hokage, despite being unwell, Hinata still managed to come to the scene, even if he watched live TV at home.

"Naruto."

"What's wrong? Shikamaru. ”

Naruto turned his head to look at Shikamaru, who had come to him with a constipated expression on his face, and said in confusion, according to the time, he should be in charge of presiding over the Hokage's succession ceremony now.

"Naruto, I have something to tell you."

Shikamaru said solemnly.

"Naruto, you go first, Shikamaru came looking for you, there must be something important."

Hinata, who was standing on the side, said empathetically, since he didn't say it directly as soon as he came up, it means that this matter is a confidential matter that cannot be known by others.

"Well, I'm sorry, Hinata, I'll leave for a while." After apologizing to Hinata, Naruto looked at Shikamaru and said, "Let's go, Shikamaru." ”

Follow Shikamaru to a remote area where no one is around.

"What the hell is going on, Shikamaru."

Naruto stood behind and looked at Shikamaru in confusion.

"Naruto, has Boruto been showing anything strange lately?"

"Boruto's strange place?" Naruto narrowed his eyes and frowned in thought, then shook his head, "What's wrong Shikamaru, did something happen to Boruto?" ”

"Last night, I saw Boruto and Uchiha instantly together."

"With Uncle Instant Fire? What's wrong? ”

Naruto didn't react for a moment.

"It's not the Uchiha Instant Fire in the village, it's the Uchiha Instant Fire that destroyed Konoha Village."

"Could it be that you admit your mistake, Shikamaru."

Naruto frowned, perhaps he subconsciously didn't believe that his son would be connected to the guy who destroyed Konoha Village.

"I won't be mistaken, because the mask he wears on his face is exactly the same as the one he wore when he destroyed Konoha Village." Shikamaru said absolutely, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Naruto said with a hesitant expression on his face, "...... Shikamaru, I still can't believe that Boruto would have a connection with the people who destroyed Konoha Village. ”

"I can't believe it either, but that's the way it is, and if Boruto is really connected to Instant Fire, then it means that the Daimyo of Fire Country, who supported Boruto as Hokage, is also likely to be controlled by Instant Fire."

"I'm going to ask Boruto about it."

"Naruto, calm down, it's the Hokage's succession ceremony, there are a lot of people coming to the scene, and now the villagers regard Boruto as a hero to save the village, we can't question Boruto in public." Shikamaru grabbed Naruto and said calmly, "We can only wait until Boruto finishes the Hokage succession ceremony and asks, and, I believe Boruto's feelings for the village, it is impossible for him to do something that will harm the village." ”

"Hmm."

Naruto nodded.

In the end, the two of them returned to the Hokage's succession ceremony, as if nothing had happened just now, Boruto successfully became the eighth Hokage, and he was also the youngest of the Hokage in the past.

Hokage's office.

Boruto, who was sitting on a chair next to his desk, looked at the photo of his father and himself, Sunflower, and Hinata on the table, and was filled with emotion.

At this time, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Naruto and Shikamaru walked in.

"Dad? Uncle Shikamaru? ”

Boruto looked at the two people in front of him in confusion.

"Boruto, Shikamaru and I have something to ask you."

Obviously, he was still happy that Boruto was the Hokage a few days ago, but now Naruto showed a solemn expression.

"What's the matter?"

Boruto instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Yes......"

Before Naruto's voice could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the ninja in the shadows.

"Lord Yashiro...... There are also Shichiyo and Shikamaru-sama, and this is the latest information from the capital of the Fire Country. ”

After the Shadow Ninja handed over the information to Shikamaru, he disappeared in an instant.

"It's information from Sasuke." Seeing the information wrapped in the purple seal, Naruto said, "You have to use a special mark to unlock it, otherwise if you forcibly open it, it will cause the Amaterasu ninjutsu sealed inside to destroy the information." ”

Naruto's hands were quickly sealed before he opened the intelligence scroll safely.

“...... Shikamaru, something has happened to the Land of Fire! ”

After reading the information in his hand, Naruto said as he handed the information to Shikamaru.

According to the information from Sasuke, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation was attacked by the Blackened Instant Fire, and with Sasuke's help, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation survived with great difficulty.

At the same time, there was also an ability beast on the scene, and according to Sasuke's guess, the blackened instant fire had already cooperated with the ability beast.

"It seems that the Daimyo-sama is already angry, and he actually wants to arrest Instant Fire at all costs." Shikamaru read the information and said, "Moreover, he also ordered Konoha Village to send ninjas to help capture Instantfire. ”

"Boruto, you have nothing to do with Instant Fire, do you?"

Naruto's eyes were fixed on Boruto, who had become the Hokage in front of him.

"This ......"

Boruto hesitated.

Seeing Boruto's appearance, Naruto and Shikamaru already understood everything.

With a disappointed expression on Naruto's face, he continued to ask, "Well, destroying Konoha Village also has something to do with you, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Boruto nodded silently, "but no one died because of this!" ”

"Shikamaru, please don't reveal this matter."

"However, we can't guarantee that the Instant Fire side won't reveal ......."

Shikamaru said with a frown.

"I'll go hunt down Instant Fire with Sasuke, and when the time comes, the affairs of the village will be left to you for the time being."

"Hmm."

It was clear that Hiroshi was the Hokage who was in office, but now Naruto was more like the Hokage in office.

"Boruto, from now on, all the affairs of the village will be handled by Shikamaru."

Naruto looked at Boruto and said, without waiting for Boruto to respond, Naruto turned around and left directly, and Shikamaru also let out a sigh and turned to leave.

The capital of the Fire Nation.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was being treated, finished reading the latest information in his hand, then turned his head to look at Sasuke, who was standing aside with his eyes closed, and said, "The latest information, your eighth generation Hokage Uzumaki Boruto of Konoha Village, seems to have a connection with the guy who attacked me. ”

"I will not suspect anyone until there is absolute evidence."

Sasuke said indifferently.

"Evidence? Is it okay with the video. ”

A video of Boruto Uzumaki's exchange of fire on the night before the Hokage's succession ceremony appeared on the phone of the Fire Nation daimyo and although there was no sound, the picture was quite clear.

It is also normal that there are a few ninjas in Konoha Village who will gravitate towards the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"After all, Boruto is Naruto's son, and he is my son's friend, so as long as Konoha Village restricts Boruto's freedom and prohibits Boruto from leaving the village, this is my bottom line!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire said quite stiffly.
