Within the land of water.

Although the dragon incarnated by the moon has long since disappeared, there are still no humans living here in the land of water.

In the culture tank, the green liquid envelops the body of the moon with its eyes closed, and bubbles appear from time to time.

"Almost."

Orochimaru looked at the data displayed on the screen in front of him and pressed the red button next to it.

Konoha Village.

In the Hokage's office, Boruto is the only one.

Boruto stared blankly at the desk in front of him, habitually signing his name on the papers on the desk.

All the work regarding the Hokage was handed over to Shikamaru, and Boruto only needed to sign the name of his eighth Hokage on the document that Shikamaru agreed.

"Congratulations on being the Hokage, Boruto."

The blackened flash suddenly appeared in front of Boruto's eyes, and Boruto's dull gaze regained some of his brilliance.

"How did you get here?"

Boruto quickly stood up, ready to attack at any moment with the chakra inside him.

"How did you get in? Teleportation, of course. ”

"You've been lying to me from the beginning, aren't you?"

"How could I lie to you, it's just that neither of us thought that the relationship between the two of us would be exposed at the last moment." Blackened Instant Fire said with a solemn face, "Boruto, you must take back the Hokage's rights as soon as possible and cancel the Ninja Act ......"

“......”

While Boruto was silently hesitating, the figure of the blackened instant fire disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Shikamaru walked in.

"Boruto, the latest news from Naruto's side, Daimyo-sama has decided not to pursue your responsibilities, but you must stay in the village during this time."

......

Boruto walked around the village aimlessly, whether it was what the blackened instant fire said or what Shikamaru said, it made Boruto feel psychologically upset.

From time to time, the villagers, who don't know the details, throw a smile at Boruto.

Boruto walked farther and farther through the village, eventually reaching the outskirts of the village.

"Hokage-sama, I'm out of the village before I go forward."

At this time, the ninja of the shadows suddenly appeared from behind.

"I see." Boruto was just about to turn back when he suddenly stopped, staring at the dense grass in the distance, and then rushed over.

"Hokage-sama!" The shadow ninja in the back immediately followed, "Hokage-sama, please don't make it difficult for us. ”

"This man is...... ......

Looking at the person lying in the grass, Boruto's eyes moistened slightly.

Konoha Hospital.

The fifth Hokage Tsunade and her apprentice Sakura gathered together and looked at the patient in front of them who had been sent by the eighth Hokage himself.

"He's Mitsuki?!" Sakura looked at the fainting boy on the hospital bed in surprise, then looked up at Tsunade and asked, "Where did Boruto find him?" ”

"According to the ninja of the Shadows, it was found not far from the village." Tsunade frowned and said, "Anyway, let's wake up Mitsuki first." ”

Shikamaru and Boruto stand outside the operating room.

"Boruto, did you go outside the village? I remember telling you that the Daimyo-sama forbade you to leave the village, and if the Daimyo knew about it, then the village would ......"

"Daimyo? I don't understand why we, with great power, should listen to the orders of an ordinary person who has no power! ”

Boruto clenched his fists and stood up to look at Shikamaru.

"Although Konoha Village has been reformed since the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, Konoha Village still needs the economic help of the Fire Country......"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is naturally not a fool, knowing that the only way to control Konoha Village is the economy, of course, he will not allow Konoha Village to easily gain economic independence.

"Boruto, Shikamaru, Mitsuki has woken up." The door to the operating room opened, and Sakura walked out and said, "However, you'd better not visit for too long, Izuki is still very weak and needs to rest." ”

"Well, thank you, Sakura."

"Thank you, Aunt Sakura."

The whole ward was empty, only a bed, a chair, and the windows were open, and from time to time a breeze blew the curtains through the windows.

"Mitsuki!"

Pushing open the door of the ward, Boruto and Shikamaru walked in one after the other.

"You are ......"

"Mitsuki, it's me, I'm Boruto."

Boruto introduced himself, but Mitsuki still had a confused expression.

"It seems that Mitsuki has lost his memory during this time......" Shikamaru looked at Mitsuki in front of him in deep thought, and then asked, "Mitsuki, do you know why you are outside Konoha Village?" ”

"I don't know......," Mitsuki shook her head and whispered, "I just remember that I had a long dream, and then I was here when I woke up." ”

"You say dreams? What kind of dream does it look like? ”

Shikamaru asked, looking at Mitsuki on the hospital bed.

"There are many, all kinds of dreams ......"

"For example?"

Shikamaru continued.

"All of them have become man-eating monsters...... There is also the theft of information about the ninjas of Konoha Village, which led to the killing of the ninjas of Konoha Village...... And a man ......"

"A man?"

Boruto then asked.

If the man-eating monster is a Resident Evil that takes place in the future, then the information theft of Konoha Ninja is a ninja act that takes place in the future.

"Hmm." Mitsuki nodded, trembling all over, her face was pale, her pupils were dilated, and she looked very scared, "Mixed in pitch black, one-eyed, with the speed of light and a right hand that eliminates any energy, and an indestructible body that can shoot all kinds of lasers...... In short, strong, not like a person......"

"Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!" Shikamaru's face darkened instantly, and Mitsuki's statement was easy for him to connect with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Human God plan, "Boruto, you stay here, I'm going back to deal with the work in the village." ”

"Hmm."

Boruto nodded, looking at Shikamaru's footsteps as he hurried back.

"I'm sorry, Boruto...... Right? ”

"Hmm."

"I'm a little tired right now and want to take a break."

Mitsuki said with apologies on her face.

"It's okay, Mitsuki." Boruto helped Mitsuki to lie on the bed and said, "You can rest well, and there are ...... I'll definitely protect you this time. ”

Hokage.

Hokage's office.

"Naruto, are you still in the capital of the Fire Nation?"

Through a video call, Shikamaru and Naruto get in touch.

"Hmm." Naruto nodded and said, "I'm discussing with Sasuke how to deal with the instant fire, so you can think of a way for us too." ”

"I'll talk about that later, Naruto, I have something to tell you."

"Is there something going on in the village?"

Naruto's face grew solemn.

"Well, though, it's not something that will cause harm to the village, actually, we found Mitsuki outside the village, and besides, Mitsuki said something that made me very concerned."

"Mitsuki?!"

Naruto, who had just slowed down his expression because he heard something that wasn't harming the village, showed a surprised expression.
