31 Chapter 31

[ Naruto's P.O.V ]

I watched Boruto going towards the forest alone to gather firewood. No parent would send their 8-year-old child into the dark forest, but I wasn't worried.

Why? Because he is not an ordinary child. He is way more than a child of his age and more powerful than any ordinary Chunin. If I have to describe Boruto then, I would say he is a Prodigy among Prodigies.

After some years of the Fourth Great Ninja War, I married Hinata. Every day we spend our time like any other family.

But that all changed after Boruto was born. Many said that it is hard to raise a child for the first time. But that problem didn't occur because Boruto is a very calm child.

He'd only cry if he's hungry or pee in his pants. We even thought he was sick, but Sakura assured us that Boruto was perfect and Healthy.

Boruto grew up looking just like my dad, which came in with a surprise to me. Sometimes I feel like I am talking to dad when I talk with him. And add it with his gentle personality, I was sure that dad had been reborn as my son.

He always helps Hinata and me with work and takes care of Himawari. Sometimes he takes care of us more than we do to him. That is why I felt a little jealous when other parents tell about their children.

Like every parent, I also want to spoil Boruto. But the aura around him is so mature that I feel dumb to treat him as a child. He never asked us to buy things like toys, games, and other things, that kids buy.

If I think about it, Boruto is the one who gives us gifts like beautiful kerchiefs to mom and some beautiful pens to me for my work.

When I compare my childhood days with Boruto, I feel ashamed. Also, talk about his strength and potential. I would say it is even greater than me.

Everyone says that I am the strongest Ninja and the Strongest Hokage, but deep down, I know that I am nothing without Kuruma's power. I am strong as a Kage, but I am a normal Kage without relaying on Kuruma's Chakra.

But I am 100% sure that my son would surpass me and become a great Ninja if he trains at this rate.

I mean, he can do most of the A and B rank Jutsus, Also has all the Affinities except Earth which is super rare. He even awakened all the abilities that an Uzumaki would possess.

On top of that, he is very proficient in Sealing Techniques. At the age of Eight, he created a sealing formula, the Healing Tags. This kind of Seal is just a life changer for Ninjas who go on dangerous missions.

Boruto is the best child anyone could ask. He is always so calm, collective, and knowledgeable. He made our family rich in a year.

Even now, I am not used to seeing all those zeros in my Bank account.

As I was thinking, Boruto came out of the dark. With something like a bag on his shoulder. " Boruto, what is that on your shoulders? ''

" Ah... I hunted a deer for food. " Boruto said with a smile and placed the deer's body near me. Seeing the deer, I thought. ' Hmm... I wonder how the Ramen would taste with deer's meat. '

" Dad, should I roast it? " Boruto asked. " Yeah, let's eat it with Ramen. "

" Now you said that. I am wondering how deer's meat would taste with Ramen. " Boruto said while talking the sticks and placing a fireplace to cook food.

' Ha... my son thinks just like me. ' I thought with a proud expression. " Where did you find a deer at night, Boruto? "

" Well, this deer was being chased by wolves. I saved it, but then I thought of eating meat today. So I killed it and bought it here. " Boruto said.

" ... "

' Sometimes, he can be a little ruthless. I found it recently. ' I thought and changed the topic. " Do you need any help? "

" No need, I can do all these. The food will be ready in an hour. " Boruto said and took out some spices from Storage scroll.

As Boruto was cooking food, Shikamaru came near us and said. " The Tents are ready. You and Boruto will sleep in one while I sleep in the other. "

He said and smelled the food. " What is he making? " Shikamaru asked.

" Boruto hunted a deer. We are eating it with Ramen. What about you? " I asked him.

" ... "

" You know we Nara clan have a special bond with deer, as it is our clan animal right. " Shikamaru said, looking at the half-sliced deer in Boruto's hands.

" ... " x2

There was silence filled in the forest for two minutes until Boruto spoke. " It was dad who told me to hunt deer if you find one. "

" WHA- " Before I could say anything, Boruto talked. " Dad, I didn't know about this, but you are the Hokage. You should know about such a simple thing.

I am sorry, Uncle Shikamaru. I should have known this. "

" WAIT SHIK- " again, I was cut off, but this time it was Shikamaru. " Haa... don't worry guys, you eat your fill. I bought my food. I will eat in my tent if you have anything you can call me. "

He said and went inside his tent. I turned my head towards Boruto, but he was gone too. " BORUTO!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!? "
