Boruto Uzumaki walked through the heart of the Hidden Leaf Village, the sun shining brightly above him. As he strolled, his mind was a flurry of thoughts. He had always admired his father, Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, but today brought a strange feeling in his gut. Something didn't sit right. As he made his way closer to the Hokage's office, he noticed an unusual commotion.
When he approached, Boruto's heart dropped. There, he found Kawaki holding his father in his arms, tears streaming down his face. "No, no… this can't be happening," Boruto whispered to himself. Kawaki's expression was one of great sorrow, and they were not alone. Code stood nearby, frustration written all over his face.
"Boruto!" Kawaki called, his voice heavy. "I… I couldn't protect him."
Before Boruto could respond, everything faded to darkness.
A year earlier, Boruto was far from the village. He had made his home in a secluded forest, far away from the chaos of the village life. Creating a small base among the trees, he found peace here, working hard every day. His only companion was Sasuke Uchiha, his mentor. They trained together and shared stories by the fire, discussing the past and the future.
But one dark day, while Boruto practiced with his jutsu, disaster struck. The ominous Ten Tails, an ancient beast of great power, appeared in their forest, seeking revenge. In the battle that followed, Sasuke fought bravely. However, in a tragic twist of fate, he was consumed by the Ten Tails, leaving Boruto alone to fend for himself.
Boruto took some time to heal. Living alone wasn't easy. He missed his father, his friends, and especially Sasuke's guidance. However, he discovered strength within himself. Soon enough, he decided that he could not stay hidden anymore. He needed to find help and understand what truly happened.
With determination booming in his chest, Boruto ventured towards the village. The journey was challenging, filled with wild creatures and sharp thorns, but he pushed through, knowing he had to warn everyone about the darkness lurking just outside.
Finally reaching the village, he rushed to find Sarada, his friend and a skilled ninja. He found her training at the training ground, her eyes focused on a wooden target.
"Boruto?" she exclaimed, surprised to see him. "Where have you been?"
"I've been… away," he said, catching his breath. "But there's something important that you need to know."
As they spoke, the air grew tense. Just as Boruto began explaining the Ten Tails and Sasuke's sacrifice, Kawaki suddenly appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Kawaki's voice was harsh as he glared at Boruto.
"I came to warn everyone! The Ten Tails is out there!" Boruto shouted back, trying to get through to him.
But Kawaki, feeling threatened and defensive, launched himself into a furious attack. Boruto quickly evaded the punches and kicks, sensing the anger flowing from Kawaki.
"Why did you come here?" Kawaki hissed between breaths, frustration boiling over.
"I came because we need to work together!" Boruto replied, dodging again. "The village is in danger! We need to defeat the Ten Tails before it's too late!"
Kawaki paused, his fists clenched. "I don't believe you. You always bring trouble!"
Boruto frowned. "I'm not here to fight you. I just want to save everyone! You need to listen to me!"
After a tense moment, Kawaki's expression softened slightly. They both stood there, panting and out of breath. Boruto could see a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
"This is not just a training exercise. It's real," Boruto insisted.
Kawaki hesitated but then finally nodded, albeit slowly. "Fine, but you better have a plan."
"I do!" Boruto exclaimed, filled with hope. "If we work together, we can gather everyone and take on the Ten Tails. But first, I need to teleport to my base. I have supplies and strategies set up there."
Kawaki crossed his arms. "I'm not so sure about that…"
Boruto sighed, "Trust me, I'll explain everything once we're there. You can even see for yourself. We can make a real plan."
Kawaki reluctantly nodded, and they prepared to set off.
As he sat down to rest for a moment, Boruto felt relieved. His heart still raced, but he could finally see a plan forming. He had friends by his side, and together, they would face whatever awaited them. The battle was not over, and with each step forward, Boruto felt the electric thrill of adventure.
