Sizzle—
When Uchiha Xiao Yan heard Konohamaru shout out his shameful title, he immediately activated Three Tomoe Sharingan, grabbed his weapon, and prepared to charge forward.
"Go screw yourself! I'm going to kill this guy today and defect from the village!"
How many times had Xiao Yan warned Konohamaru?! Yet every day, he insisted on calling him "Brother Bo Bing." Before Xiao Yan could advance, Naruto reacted quicker and pinned him to the ground.
"Calm down, you idiot!" Naruto scolded. "At least he called you brother..."
"Let me go! I'm going to kill him today!" Xiao Yan shouted, flailing.
Sasuke and Boruto, who overheard the title, were stunned. Uchiha Xiao Yan felt as though the whole world had gone dark. However, Sasuke seemed oblivious to the commotion; he was still in shock. Because...
Just moments ago, Sasuke realized that his broken arm had fully recovered! Sasuke examined his hands and instantly recalled the red potion he had just consumed. Blue restores chakra... red restores injuries? What exactly happened?
With his left hand clenched, Sasuke felt an unfamiliar wave of confidence surge through him. Before, he was only confident in repelling Urashiki.
Now, he felt as though he could pin him down and pummel him into submission.
"Mr. Sasuke!"
Boruto turned his attention to Konohamaru and exclaimed, "That little guy is... Konohamaru-nii?! And who is Brother Bo Bing?"
Boruto's eyes widened in disbelief. The runny-nosed child in front of him looked nothing like the Konohamaru he knew.
"Wait, Sasuke-san... your hand!?" Boruto shouted, astonished. "It's... grown!?"
Sasuke glanced at his hand and smiled slightly. "Well, thanks to Naruto."
He turned to look at the yellow-haired man not far away, memories of his best friend surfacing.
"Hello!"
A loud voice startled them. Konohamaru approached, pointing at Boruto and Sasuke.
"Who are you two guys?" he demanded.
This was his brother Naruto's training ground—a place outsiders couldn't simply enter. Konohamaru sniffed and circled Boruto suspiciously.
With a thoughtful expression, he muttered to himself, "This guy looks just like my brother Naruto."
Suddenly, Konohamaru's face lit up with realization.
"I get it!" he declared. "You must be Naruto-sama's new little brother, huh? Imitating Naruto-sama, are you?"
Boruto nearly burst out laughing. Did he just think he recognized me? An idea popped into Boruto's mind. He couldn't beat his dad, but Konohamaru? That was another story. A mischievous grin spread across his face.
"That's right!" Boruto announced proudly. "I'm the little brother Big Brother Naruto just accepted! And you? A little devil like you?"
"Brother Naruto actually accepted a snot-nosed brat as his little brother? How shameful!"
Boruto's words struck a nerve. Konohamaru clenched his fists. Ever since he started training with Naruto, he had excelled—none of his peers could rival him. But this guy? This imposter? He dared to insult him and, by extension, Naruto!
"Hateful!" Konohamaru shouted. "I'm not some brat! I'm the grandson of the Third Hokage!"
"You wanna fight?!"
"Oh?" Boruto teased, crossing his arms. "If you insist. Let's see your strength."
Konohamaru growled, furious. "Are you looking down on me?!"
Without hesitation, Konohamaru retrieved a sealing scroll from his pocket. With a loud bang, a massive hollow iron door appeared in his hands.
Boruto blinked. "Wait... what? Why does Konohamaru have a door panel?"
Before Boruto could process it, Konohamaru spun the door, creating a gust of wind that made Boruto's hair whip wildly. Instinctively, Boruto pulled out a kunai. But it was no use. With a single strike, Konohamaru smashed Boruto to the ground with the door panel.
Bang, bang, bang—
"You'll look down on me, will you?!" Konohamaru yelled, slamming the door repeatedly.
"Wait! Ahh! I give up!" Boruto cried. "I give up! Stop!"
Bruised and battered, Boruto lay on the ground, doubting everything. Why... why is his weapon a door panel?! Boruto wanted to cry but refused to show weakness.
Meanwhile, Sasuke watched the chaos from afar. He didn't intervene but instead found an open space to focus on rehabilitation training.
After years of fighting with one hand, regaining his full strength would take some getting used to.
Konohamaru, still triumphant, patted Boruto on the shoulder.
"Hahaha! It's okay to lose to me," he said cheerfully. "I've been training with my elder brother for a long time."
Boruto groaned, but Konohamaru leaned closer and whispered, "Do you want to become as strong as us?"
The question struck a chord. Before coming here, Boruto thought he was strong. But now? He had been outclassed by Konohamaru, Uchiha Xiao Yan, and even an older man with incredible power. With newfound determination, Boruto looked up at Konohamaru.
"Please teach me how to become stronger!"
Konohamaru grinned devilishly. "Hehehe. I'll take care of it! Don't worry!"
Finally! Konohamaru thought. Someone understands the struggles I went through! Eagerly, he dashed toward Naruto.
"Brother Naruto!" he shouted. "Lend me the spirit beast!"
