Chapter 36: Decision

Boruto and his 10 clones were gathered together, practicing their Fuinjutsu skills. However, they all seemed to be deep in thought, holding their chins and pondering their current situation.

"The fanfic protagonists make it look so easy that they can even create a new version of Fuinjutsu without learning from a master. Sometimes, the world is unfair," Boruto commented, expressing his frustration.

Clone 1 chimed in, "Boss, our talent is also unfair compared to others. Even Uchiha Sasuke's daughter is a bit less talented than us."

Clone 2 asked, "What should we do about the technique that the old man uses to make his body younger and stronger? Do we need to meet Orochimaru?"

Boruto shook his head, "No, we can use the Roran and steal it before Orochimaru can get it."

Clone 3 added, "True, it's not like they use it. We can even steal it before the building gets destroyed. The fact that it has a crazy amount of healing factor and with Byakugou seal, we can go nuts."

"Maybe if we are lucky, we can even turn back time even more and learn Fuinjutsu with the Uzumaki," Boruto said, considering all possibilities.

Clone 4 agreed, "Nice idea."

Clone 6 raised a concern, "It is good, but won't we need time for the dragon vein to activate again?"

Boruto thought for a moment, "We can just wait, and our body can mature faster. We need all the time we need. We need to defeat the Otsutsuki to the point that they are afraid of us."

As Boruto clapped his hands together, the seal on the ground got destroyed, frustrating him. "Fuck, Fuinjutsu sucks."

Clone 7 pointed out, "And we also need to open the seal back. Yamato already closed it, and we need to drive it open."

Clone 8 suggested, "Boss, shouldn't every clone that we have to help us with this?"

Clone 9 added, "We can shorten the time even more."

Boruto agreed, "Fine. Oi, clones, stop training and focus on improving our Fuinjutsu skills."

Clone 10 spoke up, "Yosh, we can have less time so we can speed up the process, but boss, go train your body. We can do this on our own."

Boruto sighed, realizing that his clone was right, and went to train his body as his clones worked on their Fuinjutsu skills.

In Naruto mindscape,

All of the tailed beasts were gathered together, their massive forms towering over Naruto as they looked at him with concern etched on their faces.

"Is everything alright, Naruto?" Kokuō, the five-tailed beast, asked, his voice rumbling like thunder.

Naruto looked up at them, his eyes filled with sadness and worry. "I need your help," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I need you to help me find my son. If you can find him, please tell me where he is. Please."

The tailed beasts all looked at each other, their expressions reflecting the weight of Naruto's request. They knew how much his family meant to him, and they could feel the pain and desperation in his voice.

"We will do everything in our power to help you, Naruto," Matatabi, the two-tailed beast, said, her voice soft and comforting.

The other tailed beasts nodded in agreement, their massive bodies shifting as they prepared to set out on their search.

"Let's split up and cover as much ground as possible," Gyūki, the eight-tailed beast, said, his voice filled with determination.

As they prepared to leave, Kurama, the nine-tailed beast, spoke up, trying to lighten the mood. "Hey, stupid gorilla, can you communicate with Boruto?" he asked, a smirk on his face.

Son, the four-tailed beast, shook his head. "I'm trying, stupid fox, but I can't reach him. My chakra within him has been fully depleted," he said, his voice tinged with frustration.

Kurama let out a sigh, his gaze shifting back to Naruto. He couldn't bear to see his friend like this, and he knew that he had to do everything in his power to help him.

A few days have passed,

Miko Shrine,

[AN: I change it because I think it fits more]

An Anbu shinobi from the Leaf Village had arrived and was now kneeling in front of Miko, Shion. However, there was a wall, a veil, that only showed the shadow of Shion, making it difficult for the Anbu to see her clearly.

"What message do you have for the Hokage, Miko-sama?" the Anbu asked, his voice low and respectful.

Shion's eyes narrowed as she considered her words carefully. She knew that what she was about to say would have grave implications for her country and its people. Taking a deep breath, she spoke in a clear, unwavering voice.

"Tell him that something akin to Moryo will be here in the future," she said, her words ringing out in the quiet room.

The Anbu nodded solemnly, his eyes reflecting the gravity of Shion's words. "Understood, Miko-sama. I will send this message to Hokage-sama immediately," he said, before flickering away in a blur of speed.

Shion sighed heavily, her thoughts racing as she contemplated the future of her country. The second coming of Moryo was a terrifying prospect, and she knew that she had to do everything in her power to protect her people.

"Naruto-kun, please be here," she whispered softly, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and longing.

As she spoke, the people who were guarding the room suddenly tensed, their eyes darting around nervously. One of them seemed to have a dark, shadowy aura for a few seconds, but no one knew who or what it was.

Shion's heart raced as she watched the guards, her mind filled with a sense of foreboding. She knew that danger was coming, and that she had to be ready to face it head-on.

Empty Land of Demons,

Boruto let out a heavy sigh as he lay on the ground, his body aching from the intense training he had been doing. "What do I need to do to get stronger?" he muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts of how he could improve his skills.

He knew that he couldn't rely on his Susano'o, as it would be too risky for someone to sense it. He had been covering his chakra tracks as best as he could, knowing that the tailed beasts were always on the lookout for any disturbances.

Suddenly, an idea came to him. "It's been a while since I summoned the small dragon," he said, his voice filled with excitement.

With a quick hand seal, Boruto summoned the small dragon using the Summoning Jutsu. The dragon appeared before him, its eyes lighting up with happiness as it saw Boruto.

Boruto smiled as he held the small dragon in his arms, feeling its warmth and the softness of its scales. He could feel the dragon nudge its head against his cheek, as if to say that it had missed him.

"I know you missed me," Boruto said, his voice filled with affection. He held the small dragon close, caressing its head gently as he thought about the training he would do with his newfound companion.

"Hey, do you have your own place where you live?" Boruto asked curiously, looking at the small dragon in front of him.

The small dragon nodded with excitement, making cute "kyu~ kyu~ kyu~" sounds.

Boruto's eyes lit up with interest. "Can I visit your place?" he asked, hoping to explore the dragon's home.

The small dragon lowered its head, indicating that it may not be possible for Boruto to visit.

"It's okay if I can't," Boruto reassured the dragon, gently patting its head. He then asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

Suddenly, a small and adorable voice echoed in Boruto's mind, saying, 'My name is Ryushin. My mother gave me that name. Do you like it?'

Boruto was taken aback by the unexpected telepathic communication, but he couldn't help but smile. "Ryushin, huh? It's a wonderful name for a dragon like you," he replied warmly.

"Kyu~ kyu~ kyu~!" Ryushin cheered happily, fluttering its wings and playfully flying around Boruto, creating a joyful atmosphere between the two newfound friends.

Boruto stood before the small dragon, its scales shimmering in the sunlight. "My name is Uzumaki Boruto," he said, his voice clear and confident. "Ryushin."

The dragon cocked its head to the side, its eyes studying Boruto carefully. It let out a soft cry, almost like a purr, as if to acknowledge Boruto's introduction.

Ryushin tilted his head to the side, his eyes studying Boruto's new appearance. The small dragon seemed confused, as if it couldn't quite understand why Boruto's hair and eyes were now black.

Boruto noticed Ryushin's confusion and spoke up. "Are you wondering about my appearance?" he asked, his voice calm and steady.

Ryushin nodded, waiting for an explanation.

"I changed my appearance to avoid people from searching for me," Boruto explained, "I'm on the run, as they will disturb my journey to adventure this whole place. My parents are searching for me."

???

The flying island was a sight to behold, with fluffy clouds dotting the sky and many different kinds of creatures living in harmony. It was a peaceful and idyllic place, but Ryushin knew that he couldn't stay there forever.

With a poof of smoke, he arrived back at his parents' house, where his two majestic dragon parents were resting. They were both huge and imposing, and Ryushin felt a sense of awe and respect whenever he was around them.

"Where did you go?" his mother asked, her voice gentle and kind.

"Meeting some friends," Ryushin replied, sounding a bit sheepish.

His mother nodded, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Mother, father, I have decided that I'm going to leave this island," Ryushin announced, his voice filled with determination.

His father rose up, towering over his son and staring down at him with a fierce gaze.

"Where do you think you're going?" he demanded.

"To the human world," Ryushin replied, his voice steady.

His father's eyes narrowed, and he snorted in disgust.

"That inferior species. Did you make a contract with a human?" he asked, his voice dripping with disdain.

"Yes, he is my partner," Ryushin replied, not realizing the anger that his words would provoke.

"Hah?! Break that contract right now!" his father thundered, his voice echoing through the house.

"No! He is my friend," Ryushin retorted, his eyes flashing with defiance.

He turned to his mother, hoping that she would understand.

"Can I leave the island and stay with my partner?" he asked, his voice pleading.

His mother smiled, her eyes filled with understanding.

"Of course, my dear," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "You are free to make your own choices and follow your own path."

Ryushin felt a sense of relief wash over him, and he stuck his tongue out at his father before disappearing with a poof of smoke.

"Darling, are you sure it's a good idea to let him go? He's still so young," Ryushin's father voiced his concern.

But Ryushin's mother was resolute in her decision. "Just like you did when you were a child. It's important for him to explore the world and learn why we don't make contracts with humans or let them onto our island," she explained.
