Chapter 8: Back to Konoha

Time passed so quietly that people were caught off guard, and two months passed like this, and Konoha didn't look very different from before. The seven Hokage statues still stood silently, looking at the village they had once guarded with their lives.

However, on the outskirts of the village, the ten giants were still standing, very competent, motionless, like soldiers. With a hot wind blowing from the surface of their bodies, the air was very quiet, and the silence was terrifying.

Inside the wall, in an open place, a branch grows out of the ground and gradually deforms, it is Boruto. After a two-month absence, he is back here, back to his hometown, which he loves so much.

Running non-stop towards a place, that is, his own home, the mother who has always been at ease. This time, he was going to take his mother out of this dangerous place, and the streets were still as bustling with people as before, but there was no smile on people's faces, as if they were afraid of something.

In a familiar place, after opening the door, there was no one in the courtyard, so he walked towards the room. It's still a familiar setting, and it hasn't changed at all, "Mom," Boruto said in a tone of uncertainty that wasn't too loud.

Suddenly, from the kitchen, there was a crisp sound of shattering, followed by panicked footsteps. Hinata rushed out, looked at her child, tears welled up again, and hugged Boruto tightly: "Boruto, you're back." ”

The feeling of being hugged by his mother is still so warm, and a smile slowly appeared on Boruto's face: "Hmm...... I am back. ”

After a few minutes, the mood calmed down a little, "Why didn't Sunflower come back with you?" Hinata looked at Boruto, full of maternal love.

"We met a man who I now worship as a teacher, and for safety reasons, this time, I didn't bring Xiaogua back. Xiaogua is very obedient, "Boruto is also full of love when he talks about his sister.

"That's good," Hinata relaxed, but, with some doubts, "what skills have you learned?" Ninjutsu? ”

"It's not ninjutsu, it's it," Boruto said this, and Boruto suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something.

Seeing this scene, Hinata was puzzled: "What is it?" ”

Boruto's expression gradually calmed down, and he lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head. The same smile as before: "Nothing? Mom, I'm hungry and I want to eat what you cooked. ”

Hinata didn't continue to ask, just smiled and touched Boruto's head: "Okay, okay, let's do it, you wait." ”

Hinata walked into the kitchen, and the expression on his face showed that he didn't let go of Boruto's sudden stop. Looking at the children outside, a hint of heaviness was revealed: Boruto.

Happiness is always short-lived, "It's so full, Mom, your cooking is delicious," Boruto slumped in his chair and touched his bulging belly.

"How many times have I told you how many times have I wiped my mouth after eating," Hinata handed over a piece of paper.

"Hee-hee," Boruto grinned, took it, wiping his mouth.

At this moment, the door was opened, and it was very rudely kicked open, and a group of people entered, "Hinata, come out quickly, your time is up," was a very impatient man's voice.

"Mom, who is it?" Boruto asked curiously.

At this time, Hinata showed a nervous and worried expression on his face, walked out of the room, and put his hands on the door: "Boruto, you stay here, I'll come back when I go out, don't come out." ”

After saying that, he closed the door, which made Boruto feel very confused. Without hesitation, he wanted to open the door, but found that it had been locked, and outside, Hinata walked out and looked at the three men: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I can't give it a few more days." ”

"******, isn't it playing Lao Tzu," one of the men slapped Hinata directly in the face, and Hinata fell to the ground.

These three men are not ordinary people, but mutants who have accepted parasitism, and all three of them are like wolves, werewolves. One of the werewolves said coldly to Hinata, "This is your last time, I can't think about it, take it away for me." ”

With that, the other two werewolves were about to rush forward, and at that moment, suddenly, from the back room. Dense branches grew, enveloping the two werewolves who came up at once, "Who?" The remaining werewolf stared in horror into the room.

"Boruto?" Hinata looked at Boruto who came out, shocked and puzzled.

Boruto helped Hinata up: "Mom, are you okay?" ”

"Look for death!" The werewolf directly showed his wolf claws, extremely fast, and ran in a "z" shape.

"Boruto, be careful!" Hinata shouted worriedly.

The blue pupils reflected the werewolf who jumped from the sky, and dense branches instantly grew in the body. Dogged the werewolf, causing it to float in the air, and then wrapped it all in.

Finally disappeared, and after the branches were released, there was nothing left in them, and those three lives had been completely absorbed by those branches.

"Boruto, you!" Hinata couldn't help but ask.

Boruto turned around, looked at his surprised mother, and apologized, "I'm sorry, me." ”

"No need to say I'm sorry, Mom believes you," Hinata put her hand on Boruto's shoulder and looked at it with trust.

"Mom," Boruto said with a little surprise.

Back in time more than two months ago, it was still that strange night, and Naruto had said many very strange things that day. Hinata was puzzled, "Hinata, Boruto will be the savior of this world, if there is any strange change in him, then, you must believe that he is for this world, for this village, for us," Naruto looked at his wife very seriously, "because, he is our child." ”

At the time, Hinata didn't understand, but now, seeing Boruto's ability, Hinata understands. Hinata touched Boruto's head and smiled, it was the kind of smile that was very contagious: "Because, you are my child and Naruto-kun, no matter what happens, I will believe you." ”

"Thank you," Boruto said earnestly.

And at this time, at the door, a familiar voice came, "Boruto, long time no see," turned around, it was Shikayo, Shikamaru's child, very similar to her father.

"Shikayo, you're okay," Boruto now, looking at his friend, for a moment, didn't know what to say.

Shikayo looked at Boruto, silent, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and finally slowly spoke: "I don't know either, but what I can tell you is that I have also become a monster just like you." ”

"How so?" Boruto couldn't believe it when he heard this, looking at this peer with great intelligence.

"Shikayo, come in and sit down, you and Boruto, you and Boruto should have a lot to say," Hinata's words at this time broke the temporarily embarrassing atmosphere.

The two looked at each other, Shikayo put his hands in his pockets, walked to the room, and passed by Boruto, who still hadn't reacted. The two sat facing each other, and Hinata poured a glass of water for Shikayo: "Boruto, in the two months since you left, a lot has happened in Konoha. ”

The seven Hokage Rock Statues, these great people who guarded Konoha with their lives, really didn't want to say such a sentence to them, "I'm sorry, seniors, the country you once guarded with your lives is now full of lackeys and maggots. ”
