Kirigakure

Just like that, 1 year passed, and Boruto now had mastered the way of the gentle fist, His arsenal of Jutsus increased by a width.

Hiashi was the one who provided the necessary scrolls for his development, and Hanabi was recently promoted to a Jounin. Making her very busy in the past few days.

Boruto now mostly stayed in the Hyuga estate, he often spend the nights there itself.

Hinata was happy about the fact that her child now had a strong bond with her father, Hima, on the other hand, spends most of her time with Naruto.

At present, Boruto sat on top of the Hokage stone faces, he watched the sunrise.

His eyes were calm. Enjoying the view.

***

Boruto was now sitting on a bench in the park, it was around 5:30 in the morning, the park was all empty.

He was about to get off from the bench but a humanoid figure distracted him, he looked to his left and saw a kid similar to his age.

It was a girl, she had purple hair that reached till her shoulders, her eyes were also purple...but those eyes lacked emotions.

She was on the swing all alone, she seemed to be in deep thought, Boruto diverted his gaze from her and started walking out of the park.

'None of my business'

He started making his way towards his home, in about 2 minutes he reached his destination.

He climbed on top of his house and then entered his room through the window, but what he saw wasn't something he expected.

Naruto was sitting on a chair with his chin resting on his palm, both of them stood there looking at each other.

Silence enveloped the room, Boruto slowly got down from the window and sat on the bed.

"...Boruto"

"Yeah?"

"You wanna come with me to Kirigakure?"

"Sure"

Naruto got up and patted his shoulder before exiting the room, Boruto entered the bathroom to freshen up.

He then dressed up, he wore the casual Boruto outfit but he now had Black fingerless gloves.

He exited through the front door and saw Naruto along with Hinata waiting outside.

"Let's go, or we'll miss the Boat"

Boruto nodded at him, they both departed, Hinata waved her arm and said her goodbyes.

"So...why're we going exactly?"

"Well, they rebuild their whole Village...all the other Nations' representatives will be there, and I wanted to show you the Village myself"

Naruto flashed a bright smile and ruffled Boruto's hair, the latter just nodded.

[1 day later]

"We're halfway there"

Boruto muttered as he watched the ocean's tides, the cool breeze coupled with the daylight gave a nice atmosphere.

'I wonder...is it possible to create an ocean?....guess I'll find out when I reach that level'

***

"We've arrived!"

Naruto's words pulled Boruto out of his trance, he suppressed his thoughts and looked ahead.

The boat reached a shore, and in front of them was a huge city, Boruto was mesmerized by the sight.

The city was even more advanced than Konoha!

Naruto stepped out of the boat, Boruto followed behind him, as soon as they started walking all the gazes of the people fell on them.

The people only stared at them, there wasn't any sign of movement, Naruto, on the other hand, stopped in his tracks.

He looked like he was expecting something or waiting for someone, that question was soon answered by a figure zooming toward Naruto.

In less than a second, it made contact, Boruto embraced himself but was flung away by the wild wind after the collision.

*Crack*

"Argh!"

"What was that!!?"

The people around them screamed to no end, Boruto stabilized himself in the air before landing on the ground.

He dusted off his shoulder before narrowing his eyes at the spot where Naruto stood, the place was completely covered by dust.

The people in that area calmed down after a couple of minutes, the dust soon cleared away revealing Naruto who was holding a wrist of a humanoid figure.

"Long time no see Naruto Uzumaki...Son of Minato"

*Smirk*

"Same here, Fourth Raikage"

Naruto smirked towards the former Raikage, Aka....A, the ground under them was cracked, however, Boruto wasn't surprised by that.

He was surprised by the fact that Naruto just stopped a lightning-fast attack without breaking a sweat!

'He's strong...very strong'

Boruto was again amazed by the display of strength, the flame inside his heart only kept growing.

"Raikage-Sama, Attacking in public can be considered a crime...I suggest that you see the Tsuchikage"

"Yeah yeah, Whatever"

A rolled his eyes after replying to the feminine voice.

A woman wearing a white surgical mask came toward the both of them, Naruto glanced behind him and saw Boruto.

He nervously chuckled, the latter just waved his hands indicating that it was alright.

'...Not gonna lie, Strong people act kinda dumb'

He internally sighed before following behind Naruto, they roamed around the village exploring various shops and sceneries.

Eventually, their journey led them toward the recycling area, Naruto went toward a civilian and started a conversation.

'...Hmm'

Boruto narrowed his eyes at a particular individual, she had pale white skin and greyish-blonde hair.

Her clothes were torn apart in some places, she was sewing a doll.

'She's gonna die'

Boruto concluded in his mind after seeing a person rushing towards her with a kunai in his hand.

But the girl's next action made him a bit surprised, the girl panicked...she picked up a pole beside her and stabbed it into the man.

...He died.

The girl dropped the pole and fell to her knees, several emotions could be seen in her eyes.

Fear, Anxiety, Relief...but all those were soon suppressed by another...Emptiness, and a sense of loss were also present in her eyes.

'This world is sure cruel'

Boruto's gaze was indifferent all this time, he felt no pity nor any need to save the man or the girl, death is a common case...one can never save someone, they can only delay their death.

'See you in the future...till then, Sayonara'

Those were his last thoughts before heading back.

"Ah, Boruto! This guy right here will be your guide for today, I gotta attend the meeting soon, Have a nice day!"

Naruto beamed a bright smile before his figure disappeared from Boruto's vision, the latter just shook his head.

"Young master, shall we go?"

Boruto felt a little awkward hearing someone mention him as 'young master', but chose not to complaint against it.

"Just call me Boruto"

The man in front of him nodded with a smile.

Another hour passed just like that, Boruto was fascinated by the unique types of food here, everything here was completely foreign to him.

But those various types of food didn't disappoint, everything he tried was of top-notch quality.

'Now that's what I call a dessert'

"Ha~"

He laid on a bench in the public park of Kiri, the man sat beside him without uttering a word.

He enjoyed the silence, the park was empty due to some unknown reason, but he could care less about that.

The sounds of tides colliding with rocks coupled with the chirping of birds created a nice atmosphere.
