The massive hall trembled as Ren Nakamura stepped forward, his demon aura stretching behind him like a shadow with fangs.
Ren (roaring):
“Every child with power… deserves to die.”
The daimyō council murmured, then nodded obediently like puppets.
Ren slammed his fist onto the table.
Ren:
“KILL BORUTO — WIN KONOHA!”
“KILL BORUTO — WIN KONOHA!”
The daimyō repeated it louder and louder, drunk on fear and excitement.
Suddenly—
Smoke drifted through the doorway.
A single man entered.
Slow steps.
No fear.
One hand in pocket.
Shikamaru Nara.
Daimyō 1: “HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, KONOHA PIG!?”
Daimyō 2: “GUARDS, THROW HIM—”
Before anyone else could speak, Ren wrapped an arm around Shikamaru’s neck like a “friendly greeting,” grinning like a demon.
Ren:
“HE WANTS TO JOIN US!”
“HE WANTS TO KILL BORUTOOOOOO TOO!”
Shikamaru exhaled smoke right in Ren’s face.
Shikamaru:
“…Naruto. Sasuke. Jump.”
The FLOOR EXPLODED as two monsters dropped from the ceiling.
His aura burned like a blue sun.
Naruto (roaring like a demon god):
“YOU WANNA KILL MY SON!?”
“AGHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA—”
“I WILL KILLLLLLL YOU AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!”
Tables crushed. Walls shattered.
Daimyōs fell backward screaming.
Sasuke walked forward with one glowing Rinnegan and a sword already in hand.
Sasuke (cold):
“You’re dead.”
Guards lunged.
They never touched the ground again.
Ren: “THEY’RE—THEY’RE HIGH-END PEOPLE! YOU CAN’T KILL THEM—”
Shikamaru flicked the cigar ash.
Shikamaru:
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
“We’re not killing them.”
Shikamaru (pointing at trembling daimyō):
“We’re just traumatizing them.”
He smirked as a daimyō fainted.
Naruto punched a pillar so hard the entire hall tilted.
Sasuke sliced a guard in half with the flat side.
Ren whispered: “…They’re monsters.”
Moon Temple — Training Grounds
Boruto staggered to his feet, sweating, breath broken.
Across from him stood Higarashi ōtsutsuki — his instructor and executioner.
Higarashi:
“So, kid…
you still want to be stronger for Yuta?”
Boruto clenched his fists, shaking.
Boruto:
“I couldn’t beat Toneri…
But Shibai…
I will still try.”
“I have my dad’s will.
I’ll die…
but I won’t give up.”
Higarashi’s eye twitched.
A mad grin appeared.
Higarashi:
“If you can even touch me…
I’ll consider training you.”
Boruto screamed—
A golden whirlpool burst from his back.
Chains.
Hundreds.
Then thousands.
Higarashi’s brows shot up.
Higarashi:
“1,000 adamantine chains…
Boruto Uzumaki… can you control that?”
The chains lashed wildly, destroying the stone around him.
Boruto (gritting teeth):
“I can’t!!
But trust me—”
Boruto roared:
“I’ll get so strong…
that I’ll kill you myself!”
Higarashi froze.
Then laughed.
Higarashi:
“I like you.”
He stepped closer, eye to eye, forehead touching Boruto’s.
Higarashi (whisper):
“I may kill you.
Wanna fight me anyway?”
Boruto’s grin grew feral.
Boruto:
“Fight…
till death.”
Moon Kitchen — Same Time
Aira peeked outside with a spoon still in her mouth.
Aira:
“Mom… is Dad okay?”
Kimiko sighed, stirring soup.
Kimiko:
“Well, your father likes kids who want to kill him.”
Aira: “Makes sense.”
Aira looked again toward the training area.
Aira:
“I wanna give Boruto back in one piece…
with his arms and legs intact.”
Kimiko (waving):
“It’s fine. I’ll heal him.”
Toneri walked by with tea.
Toneri:
“They’re fighting like dogs again.”
Aira froze, staring through the window.
Boruto’s golden chains thrashed at Higarashi like meteors.
Higarashi countered with—
A thousand hands.
Aira:
“…Yep.
Dad’s having fun.”
