Naruto: I just want to show off but I'm too busy

"Really, I just wanted to get some air, and I didn't say I couldn't go back."

After following Naruto back home, Kawaki was still grumbling.

But after seeing the delicious food on the table and the banner on the wall welcoming Kawaki to join the Uzumaki family, Kawaki could no longer say anything to complain.

"This is..." He stared at this scene blankly, making Boruto cover his mouth and chuckle.

It turns out that this guy also has this kind of expression. It's a pity that he doesn't have a camera now, otherwise he must take a photo and record it, and use this photo to laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Naruto stepped forward and patted Kawaki on the back, and said with a smile: "You have been here for a long time. I have been busy during this time so I have no time to celebrate. I just have time today, so I prepared it for you. Got this surprise.”

"Kawaki, welcome home!" Hinata Ling and Xiaokui both smiled and welcomed Kawaki.

Boruto said with some dissatisfaction: "Where did you go and why did you come back so late?"

He has a tsundere character and usually doesn't say anything soft. This is nothing like his parents, but somewhat similar to Sasuke.

Kawaki had long been used to Boruto's appearance. He walked to his seat and sat down, then said casually: "Go out and get some fresh air. My brain will get rusty after being with an idiot like you every day."

Boruto curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I have prepared a very precious gift for you. Who would have thought that you have such a vicious mouth? Suddenly I don't want to give it to you anymore."

Naruto and Hinata Ling on the side looked at each other, spread their hands in tacit understanding, and laughed helplessly.

At this time, Kawaki really wanted to punch Boruto in the face. He said in a dissatisfied tone: "You guys are really... at least let me take a look to satisfy my curiosity."

"Hey, when you ask someone for help, you should have a nicer tone, you know? That means I don't care about my temper. If it were someone else..."

Boruto said as he took out his gift - the ninja forehead protector he got after graduating from the ninja school.

The iron piece in the center of the forehead protector has been wiped clean, and an abstract leaf shape is engraved in the center, which is also the symbol of Konoha Village.

Kawaki certainly understood what a forehead protector meant to a ninja. He stared blankly at the forehead protector on the table, and finally returned it to Boruto.

"Isn't this the most important thing to you? And I haven't become a ninja yet, so I can't have it."

"You are wrong Kawaki." Boruto raised his lips slightly and put his forehead protector in Kawaki's palm again: "You have become a ninja since you started training with our ninjas."

"This has nothing to do with whether you are an official ninja or not. Even if you are not an official ninja, we all agree that you are our companion."

Kawaki still wanted to refuse: "But if you gave me your forehead protector, wouldn't you lose it?"

"Who said I don't have one?" Boruto took out another intact forehead protector from his pocket.

The word "forbearance" is engraved in the middle of this forehead protector, which was given to him by Jingu Xiyue during the crusade against Momoshiki.

"Compared to the Konoha forehead protector, I actually prefer this Ninja forehead protector given to me by Master Dai Xiyue."

Boruto has always cherished the forehead protector that Jingu Xiyue gave him. He has to be careful every time he touches it, for fear of staining the forehead protector.

It was precisely because of this that he did not discover that there was actually another mystery on the back of the iron piece in the center of the forehead protector, and there was also an engraving of the moon on the back.

Jingu Xiyue was also known as "Konoha Crescent" in his early days. He was once the captain of the ninja alliance.

Seeing a forehead protector is like seeing someone in person. Whenever you encounter ninjas over the age of twenty to thirty on the street, you will be courteous to those wearing the forehead protector.

"I'll lend you this forehead protector first, and then return it to me when you become an official ninja." Boruto said openly.

Looking at the forehead protector in his hand, a complex emotion surged into Kawaki's heart. He had been longing for power during this period, just to protect the Seventh Generation and prevent Boruto from being possessed by Momoshiki.

He even came up with the idea of ​​killing Boruto to avoid any further trouble.

But Boruto gave himself the most important thing. In comparison, he felt like he was nothing.

……

Time passed quickly, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Kawaki, who has been staying in Konoha doing nothing, is still thinking wildly.

Now there is the threat of Corder outside, and there is Momoshiki inside who always wants to take Boruto's body.

Boruto doesn't need to worry too much. Now he is practicing with his master outside almost every day. The guy who should pay attention to is Kaorder.

On this day, Kawaki used Otsutsuki's ability to avoid the detection of the perception team and quietly slipped out of Konoha.

He wanted to talk to Kaord. If he could use his own life to calm Kaord's anger and stop Kaord from attacking Konoha, then he would be very willing to do so.

It's just that Kawaki thought he was doing it very covertly, and Boruto had already discovered him when he just took a step away from Konoha.

He didn't install any surveillance equipment on Kawaki, just through perception.

That is the mutual perception between Otsutsuki, which is similar to a quantum entanglement effect.

Boruto, who was training with Jingu Xiyue, suddenly froze. He hurriedly stopped training, told Jingu Xiyue that there was an emergency and left directly.

"This kid..." Jingu Xiyue crossed her arms and looked at Boruto's retreating back, he was thoughtful.

Here Boruto hurried back home quickly, came to the direction of his father Naruto, and found Kawaki lying leisurely on the sofa.

He frowned, came to Kawaki, and asked in a deep voice: "You are the shadow clone, right? Tell me what you want to do when you leave the village?"

"What's the noise? I'm just leaving the village to get some fresh air."

"Oh, do you think I will believe it?"

On the other side, Kawaki, who had already left the village, also noticed the connection with Boruto. He cursed secretly. This kind of connection really didn't give people any privacy.

"What a bastard!"

Seeing that Kawaki refused to say anything and even canceled the shadow clone directly, Boruto had no choice but to run downstairs and tell his father about Kawaki leaving the village privately.

"Dad, Kawaki is gone. He escaped for some reason. If we don't chase him quickly, we won't be able to catch up with him!"

"What are you talking about, Boruto, isn't Kawaki staying upstairs all the time?"

The story of the boy who cried wolf actually appeared in Naruto's house at this moment, because Boruto often played pranks on himself before, so Naruto now thought it was Boruto playing tricks on him.

"I'm not kidding, dad. If you don't believe me, feel it for yourself!"

Seeing Boruto's serious expression, Naruto's face also darkened. He directly used the sage mode with the most powerful perception. After careful sensing, he found something was wrong.
