Chapter 424 So Cool
Ninja World
"Hearing Boruto's words, my mind involuntarily thought of Naruto who dreamed of becoming a Hokage when he was a child..."
"Why don't we let Boruto take Naruto's place for a few days? Naruto can guide him from the side and let him know how heavy the responsibility of the Hokage is. With Boruto's intelligence, I believe he will understand Naruto soon."
"The second, third, and fourth generations of Konoha all died to protect the village. So, how did the first generation die? Did he think that Madara was dead, and became depressed all day, and lost hope of living?"
"This is not something that everyone can do. Looking at the seven Kage of Konoha, the only one who made Konoha develop rapidly was Naruto, followed by the Nidaime who established the ninja school. Compared to the two of them, the other Kage seemed mediocre."

Boruto asked loudly in confusion: [And the Hokage's child should be grateful for being born into this damn family, huh? ]
[Oh, yes! I heard that our grandfather is also a Hokage! ]
[So when dad was a child, Hokage grandpa wasn't even alive. So, I guess dad was lucky, he never had to experience the joy of having a parent around! ]
Hinata lowered her eyes: [I know it's sad to be without Daddy by your side on such an important day.]
Hearing Hinata's words, Boruto fell silent.
Hinata continued: [But your situation is different, you have a father, he is here. ]
Boruto said: [I'm not talking about me...but Xiao Kui...never mind...]
Boruto turned and left in a depressed mood.
He walked to his door and was about to open it when he saw a room with its door open nearby.
Screen turn
Hokage's Office
Naruto leaned against his desk, slumped down in exhaustion.
I screwed up again...
He looked at the framed picture of Minato on the wall.
[Dad...what should I do...]
……
Ninja World
"Naruto really blames himself."
"Naruto right now is obviously very powerful, but he gives me a very fragile feeling."
"At least Boruto still has his parents and sister..."
"Although there are countless reasons, the damage Naruto has caused to his own child is also real."
Pure Land
Minato felt a little distressed.
However, although……
He didn't know what to do either.
One is the village, the other is the family...
If it were him, he would probably suggest Naruto to take some time to spend with his family, just like he did later.
That day... It was a rare rest, and Naruto slept for the whole day.

Shikamaru pushed open the door and was startled when he saw Naruto slumped on the ground, and he quickly ran forward.
[Hey! What's wrong? ]
He ran to Naruto, squatted down and said to him: [Let me clean up the files, you should go home and rest. ]
Naruto was silent.
Screen turn
Boruto walked into the room and looked around.
He saw a doodled portrait of him and sunflowers on the photo frame.
There are also photos of Naruto and Gaara, the former Team 7, Naruto wearing the Hokage hat... Naruto hugging him, and Hinata hugging Himawari.
And... a photo of Boruto and Hinata celebrating Himawari's birthday.
Boruto looked at the tattered old clothes hanging on the closet.
Pull it down.
[So dirty... and so rotten! ]
He looked at Naruto in the group photo of Team 7, and Hinata's words came to his mind.
'But your situation is different, you have your father, he is here.'
Boruto grasped the garment tightly and threw it out of the window.
【This thing sucks! 】
Just then, the doorbell rang downstairs.
Boruto was stunned.
'Yes or no……'
'Dad is home!'
Thinking of this, he rushed downstairs.
The moment the door opened, he punched it.
But it was held firmly by a hand.
Then, that hand released Boruto's hand.
When Boruto saw that it was not Naruto, he couldn't help but take a step back.
[I'm sorry, I thought you were my dad...]
Sasuke asked: [You are Naruto's son? What's your name? ]
【Boruto Uzumaki...】
The light in the entrance came on and Hinata walked out.
【Is that you? Sasuke. 】
Sasuke asked: [Is Naruto here? ]
【I think he's still in the Hokage's office. 】
Boruto stared blankly at the cold Sasuke in front of him.
[I see... Sorry to bother you. ]
After saying that, Sasuke turned and left.
"He is my father's rival..."
Thinking of this, Boruto's cheeks flushed and his eyes sparkled.
'He's really cool!'
……
Pure Land
Kushina was speechless.
"If Naruto knew, would he cry out of grievance?"
I thought it was my dad so I punched him, but when I saw it was Sasuke I thought it was cool...

Uchiha clan land
Little Sasuke looked very proud.
"As soon as my future self appeared, I conquered Boruto. It turns out that children prefer handsome people."
Rain Country
"This is just the first time we've met. Boruto...he he he..."
Naruto looked agitated and spoke incoherently.
Xiaonan comforted softly.
"It's okay, just think about Sarada."
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Naruto suddenly felt better.
Ninja World
"If you don't want this dress, don't throw it away. You can give it to me!"
"Boruto is really... Does he know the value of Naruto's clothes? Naruto has worn this clothes for several years! It is very collectible!"
"I just realized something! It's really scary when you think about it! Whenever Naruto spends a birthday with Himawari, even if it's just a shadow clone, they should take a photo together."

Sasuke left Naruto's house and was on his way to the Hokage building.
He stopped after walking a few steps.
He looked at the clothes that Naruto had worn on the ground, and he didn't know how long he stayed there.
Screen turn
Naruto was sorting out some documents, preparing to go home once he was done.
At this moment, a scroll was thrown towards him.
Naruto reached out to catch it, and asked in confusion: [What is that? ]
Sasuke pushed open the door and said, "I took it back from Kaguya's palace."
[Sasuke?]
Naruto opened the scroll in his hand, which contained words he could not understand.
[I have a bad feeling...]
Hearing this, Sasuke said: [I can't even read it with my Samsara Eye. There's another guy who worries me, but he's not following me.]
……
Ninja World
"These are the eight most recent ones... Those who are interested in the same thing can only compete with me... so these are the only ones I can understand. What is this mess? It can't even be connected in series."
"Kaguya's palace... then the text on it is likely to record the information about those three guys?"
"Before, I thought Naruto was too perfunctory in his treatment of his family, but when the two of them stood together, I remembered that Sasuke didn't even recognize his own daughter! From this point of view, neither Naruto nor Sasuke is a good father and husband."
……

Naruto stood up.
[Well, I guess I can't go home. Let's find out what this scroll is about, shall we?]
