Chapter 112 Master
Chapter 112 Master
Seeing the two successfully fuse the Rasengan, Jiraiya couldn't help but applaud and praise them: "I never thought you two actually mastered the Wind Release: Tai Chi Rasengan. This is truly an amazing achievement."
After hearing Jiraiya's words, Boruto repeated the name and asked, "Wind Release: Taiji Rasengan?"
Jiraiya nodded in confirmation, explaining, "That's right, the Tai Chi Rasengan is a technique that the Fourth Hokage once conceived, but we haven't had the chance to use it together or perfect it yet."
Jiraiya felt a pang of sorrow as he thought of Minato losing his life at such a young age.
......
Jiraiya suddenly realized something. He turned around and looked at a large tree behind him, saying in a wary tone, "It seems that some guests have come here to observe the results of our training."
The person in the tree realized that he had been discovered so soon after arriving, so he stopped hiding and jumped down from the tree, landing lightly on the ground.
When Boruto saw this person, his eyes widened instantly, his surprise evident: "...Master!?" He swallowed back the "Mr. Sasuke" that he almost blurted out, and changed his words instead.
Sasuke stared at Boruto in front of him, his face also filled with shock. He hadn't expected to meet Boruto in such a situation, and he felt that the figure looked somewhat familiar just now.
Jiraiya was slightly taken aback by Boruto and the man in black's reactions, but then he understood.
Naruto turned his gaze to Sasuke, then to Boruto, and asked with a puzzled look, "Master? Boruto, how come I've never heard you mention having a master before?"
Then, Naruto walked around Sasuke with curiosity, carefully observing him, and said, "Although his clothes are a bit strange, he seems much more reliable than the Perverted Sage."
Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was circling around him, with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Jiraiya suddenly reached out and grabbed Naruto's shoulder, interrupting Naruto's observation of Sasuke. He said in a serious tone, "Alright, Naruto, you were the least serious during training just now. Now I'm going to make you do extra training."
Then, Jiraiya turned to Boruto with a smile and said, "Boruto, you must be tired from your training. Why don't you show your master around the village for a bit?"
"What...?" Naruto was dissatisfied with Jiraiya's preferential treatment and retorted, "I was clearly the one who was the most serious just now!"
Hearing Naruto's dissatisfaction, Jiraiya went along with his mood, saying, "Alright, alright, you were the most focused just now, so as a reward, you'll come with me for extra training..."
......
At this moment, Boruto led Sasuke out of the training ground and onto the main street of Konoha Village.
Sasuke looked around, his brow furrowed. He sensed something was off about the village atmosphere, so he asked Boruto, "Why does the atmosphere in the village feel a bit strange? Has something happened?"
Boruto shrugged helplessly and teased Sasuke, "It's all because a genin recently defected from the village, which has put the village on partial alert."
Upon hearing Boruto's words, Sasuke's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural. His disciple had somehow come to know about his past defection from Konoha.
However, Boruto was not going to let it go: "I didn't expect you to be so extreme before, Mr. Sasuke, that you didn't consider the friendship of Team 7 at all."
"...Cough...uh..." Sasuke coughed softly, then asked Boruto, "Boruto, how did you end up in this era? Do you know how worried your father was about you?"
Boruto was stunned when he heard Sasuke's words. He recalled the scene when he first came to this era, when he was constantly thinking about how to return to his own time.
Although the time he spent in Class 7 had eased his feelings somewhat, he had not given up on finding a way back to his original world.
"I don't know how I suddenly got here..." Boruto paused for a moment and then asked, "...Dad...how is everyone now?"
After a long silence, Sasuke sighed and looked directly into Boruto's eyes, saying, "Boruto, your father has been in very poor condition and looks very haggard since you disappeared."
Sasuke continued, "He not only has to handle village affairs now, but also has to send a lot of clones to search for your whereabouts. Even though everyone in the village is advising him to take a break, he still insists on doing it his own way."
Sasuke's expression was very serious. It was clear that Naruto's body had been working beyond its limits, and it was unclear how much longer it could hold on.
Boruto was filled with worry upon hearing these words. He had never imagined that his disappearance would be such a blow to his father.
Boruto lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I've thought about how to get back, but I still don't know how."
Sasuke took the Time-Traveling Treasure Plow from his pocket and handed it to Boruto.
Boruto looked at the time-manipulating artifact in Sasuke's hand and asked uncertainly, "Sasuke-san... is this... a pink turtle?"
Sasuke explained, "This is a time-traveling artifact called 'Plow,' which can take us through time and space. I came here using this, and perhaps I can take you back with it."
"But it has now fallen into a deep sleep due to insufficient chakra fuel."
Boruto observed the strangely shaped Time Plow with a look of surprise. He never expected that such an inconspicuous little object would have the magical power to travel through time.
Boruto then asked, "So, Mr. Sasuke, what brings you to this era?"
Boruto doesn't believe that Sasuke used this time-travel artifact to get here in order to find him, because the surprised expression Sasuke showed when he saw him just now clearly indicated that he didn't know he was there.
Sasuke replied to Boruto with a solemn expression, "I came here in search of Urashiki Otsutsuki."
Boruto exclaimed in surprise, "Otsutsuki Urashiki!?"
Sasuke nodded and said, "That's right. Urashiki Otsutsuki also came to this era through this time-traveling treasure, the Plow, but fortunately, he will arrive here in a few days."
"Moreover, his purpose in coming here is to capture the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto during his childhood."
Boruto frowned, not expecting these Otsutsuki to be so obsessed with the Nine-Tails inside his father.
