Looks like the meeting with\Nthe Feudal Lord

is happening today as scheduled.

We had some\Nunexpected interference.

But whatever.\NI'm gonna go notify the Boss.

It's time for the Mujina Gang\Nto finally make its move.

Mr. Uzumaki,\Nwe've been expecting you.

Please, this way.

Lord Tento is waiting for you\Nin the garden.

O-Okay…

This way.

You booked the entire hotel\Nand the gardens?

Feudal Lords sure\Ndo things differently.

Oh, really?

Isn't this pretty standard?

It's not like we bought the place.

What an arrogant jerk!

Friends!!\N \N \N

Friends!!\N \N \NBut never mind all that.

What was it called,\Nthe Shadow Clone?

Show me now!

The Feudal Lord Ikkyu Madoka\Npersonally asked for you!

Fine, guess I have no choice.

Watch closely, ya brat.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of you!

Real ninja are so cool!

You're definitely\Nthe son of the Hokage!

W-Well, yeah.

So, cool! So, cool!

Look at him laughing\Nso genuinely…

He's still just a kid.

But you know, I hear the Hokage\Ncan make over a thousand clones.

Compared to that,\Nthis is pretty lame.

This mission might be tougher\Nthan I imagined.

Next, I wanna see that one!

What was it?

The one where you transform?

Oh, the Transformation Jutsu.

Right! That one!

Okay, sure.

All right…\NI'll just give him a little shock.

Transform!

Sexy Jutsu!

Followed by…

The Harem Jutsu!

How's this, ya brat?

So shocked, you can't talk, huh?

What? That's not the reaction\NI expected!

Well, that was fun, but I would've\Npreferred a less flashy type.

Those sexy types come and go\Nall the time at my house.

I'm tired of seeing them!

Precocious brat!

I bet you don't have any friends!

Huh?

Aren't you my friend, Boruto?

You're kinda dense, aren't ya?

What about my attitude\Nmakes you think I am?

Man, I'm just so glad!

I've always wanted a ninja friend

who was about\Nthe same age as me.

Are you listening to me?!

Look!

This is my Card collection.

What?

A-Amazing!

You even have the Con Exclusive\NSharingan Mode Kakashi Hatake!

You practically have every card!

That's my binder of rares and above.

I have lots more.

You have so many,\Nwhy you don't have one of Dad…

I mean, the Seventh Hokage?

I just haven't been able to\Nget the card I really want.

It's really weird.

Tell me about it…

Wait, don't tell me–!

Y-You have it.

What, Boruto?

You want that card?

Want? That's an understatement.

This is the only reason\Nwhy I keep buying them.

I've never seen\Nthe actual thing before, ya know?

Oh…

You want it?

Hey, man!

Do you even know how rare this is?!

It's super rare!

It's fine.

As long as I have my black card,\NI can get it again!

In exchange…

Will you teach me ninjutsu?

Huh?

I was thinking that I want to\Nbecome a ninja too.

Well? If you'll teach me ninjutsu,\Nthat rare card is yours.

It's not a bad deal, right?

No thanks!

Huh? Why?

I'm the type who has to get\Nwhat he really wants

by his own strength,\Nno matter how hard it is.

Then, how about something else?

Just tell me anything you want. Okay?

Just teach me ninjutsu!

This guy just uses money\Nto get his way!

C'mon, please!

You have nothing else\Nto do anyway, right?

Fine!

But training's gonna be super hard!

Really? Yes!

All right!

Time to be really hard on him

and beat that attitude\Nright outta him.

Cut the defense budget?

But it's essential that\Nwe continue to investigate

the ruins that Kaguya left behind.

Besides that, there are other things…

I know.

And I know that this peace\Nis temporary.

I don't expect this situation\Nto continue forever.

That's why I think it's important\Nto focus more

on social services and education\Nwhich we've never budgeted for.

But–!

Shikamaru.

Lord Ikkyu…

I always tell you to call me Ikkyu.

You're the only one around

that I can be totally at ease\Nand honest with.

Ikkyu, whether you divert the budget\Nto something else or not,

what we do will not change.

Naruto…

It's a shinobi's job to protect the nation,\Nand its people.

Thank you for understanding.

Well then, I'll be leaving soon.

You're leaving already?

To be honest, I'd like nothing better\Nthan to stay

and talk with you a little longer…

But neither of us have\Nthe time, do we?

Oh, that's right!

Your son came with you this time.

Yes.

Usually, I spend so little time\Nwith him.

So, this was a way\Nto make amends.

He's been obsessed with ninja\Nbecause of something called Cards…

When he learned I was going\Nto the Leaf Village,

he insisted on coming along.

On top of which, he asked that\NBoruto be his bodyguard.

I see.

He's a handful, but please ask him\Nto be good to him.

I couldn't pay much attention\Nto him,

so he grew up spoiled and\Na little out of control.

That's just how kids are, ya know?

FIRE\N\NI really hope that's true.

Aw man, no more!

Is it even possible to hit this?\NI don't believe it!

Do a better job teaching me!

I've been teaching you properly\Nall this time.

Watch.

You don't just "throw" a shuriken.

You kind of "strike" them.

I wonder if it's something\Nyou can understand…

Strike rather than throw.

Aw man, why doesn't it hit already?!

It's not something that\Nyou can do right away.

Hey, why do you want to train\Nto become a ninja?

Huh?

I got interested after\NI started collecting Cards.

I mean…\NNinja are strong and cool!

Is that all?

Okay, I'm feeling this now!

Go!

I can't do this.

That was quick!

I can't hit anything!

Don't you want to become strong?

You want to be a cool shinobi,\Ndon't you?

Then show a little more dedication!

Shut up.

C'mon!

I hate this.

I knew it. He gave up.

Now do you understand

that things don't go the way\Nyou want so easily?

Well, let's call it a day.

What's the point of all this\Nif we stop now?

I'm going to keep trying\Nuntil I get it!

This kid–!

All right, I get it.

If you really want to do this,\NI'll stick with you until you get it.

Boruto!

Oh, right. You wanted\Nthat rare card too.

No! That's not why!

It's because you got serious\Nabout doing this!

Sure, okay.

Actually, he really pisses me off!

Oh dear!

Where did he go?

What is the bodyguard doing?\NSeriously!

Damn it!

That was close. One more time.

Milord!

Yamaoka!

Milord!

So, this is where you've been!

Watch me, watch me, Yamaoka!

I just barely missed the target!

Until now, I couldn't even get it\Nto go in that direction!

What is the meaning of this,\NLord Boruto?

Our request was that you guard\Nthe Young Lord, that's all.

We can't have you doing things\Nwithout authorization.

Wait, Yamaoka.

Milord, this is much too dangerous!

I asked him to teach me.

Don't blame Boruto!

It doesn't matter.

You are the heir to the Feudal Lord\Nof the Land of Fire.

There is no need for you to\Nundertake such things like this.

But–!

I just started getting better at it.\NLet me try just a little bit longer.

Milord!

Let him do it.

He's finally getting the hang of it.

It's more fun for him now

to hit a target with shuriken\Nwith his own strength,

than buying up rare cards\Nwith his black card.

Yamaoka!

Good grief. I understand.

However–!

This is only while\Nwe are staying here.

Yes!

The next one will be a bull's eye!

I doubt if he'll agree to that!

Focus more on striking!

You mentioned the credit card earlier…

The Lord gave it to him\Nfor his birthday.

Huh? It was?

The Lord is so busy,

he doesn't even know\Nwhat his son wants.

So, he decided to get that card,

so he could purchase\Nwhatever he wanted.

Milord, it's a birthday present\Nfrom your father.

Wow! I wonder what it is?!

Milord?

Leave it to Papa!

And still, he smiled brightly

and said,\N"This is just what I wanted."

He then collected\Nthe strongest Cards

and participated in a tournament.

And just recently, he made it to\Nthe finals of a big tournament.

Winning the tournament was a way\Nto deal with his loneliness?

Perhaps.

He probably thinks that if\Nhe garners attention at the tournament,

his father will come see him play.

So, he said that he was going\Nto win the next one without fail.

No wonder he's collected\Nso many cards.

Yes.

EXTREME\N\NIf he completes his collection,\Nwinning would be a certainty.

EXTREME\N\NAnd the Lord would be sure\Nto attend the event…

He wants his father\Nto acknowledge him,

even if it's just a little bit.

But perhaps today,

the Young Lord discovered something\Neven more than that.

Huh?

I've never seen him so enthusiastic\Nabout anything.

– I did it!\N– Whoa!

I hit the target! I did it!

See, you can do it!

I finally did it.

But if I don't keep practicing,\NI'll lose my touch again, right?

Yeah…

If you don't keep at it,\Nmuscle memory can fade.

And even if you keep practicing,

it doesn't mean\Nyou'll hit it every time.

But,

If you just keep at it,\Ndespite all of that…

I bet it will lead to something.

Something?

That's right.

Something that you can't buy\Nwith a black card…

something that you can only win\Nwith your own hands!

Here's a good luck charm for that.

Make sure you stop\Nand come back

before you push yourself\Ntoo much.

I'll go on ahead and\Nprepare your dinner.

Can you stay with me\Njust a little longer?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, looking good!

Who's there?

Damn it!

A decoy again?

Boruto, you fall for traps too easily!

I'm all out of life now.

Game over! I win again!

Damn it.

Isn't there some rule where\Nyou can win once just by dedication?

What does that mean?

Hey, I was wondering…

what kind of people become a ninja?

Seriously speaking,\Ncan I become one?

Well, it all depends on\Nhow much effort you put in.

Do you really want to become one?

Yeah.

My dad's always telling me\Nninja are amazing.

That they're trustworthy people.

He's always working and\Ndoesn't come home much,

and he's always thinking\Nabout ninja.

That's why I want to\Nbecome a ninja

who's amazing enough to\Nget a Card made of him.

Then maybe, my dad will finally\Nacknowledge me.

You did great.

I-It's important…

This is…something really important.

I'll be watching.

I'm…

Huh?

I'm just like you.

I wanted my dad to notice me.

I did lots of stupid things\Njust to get his attention.

I even got banned from\Nbeing a ninja once.

I can be a ninja now,\Nonly because everyone forgave me.

Boruto…

I might not be much now,\Nbut one day…

I wanna become an amazing ninja\Nwho supports the Hokage.

One day, for sure.

Well! It's not gonna be easy!

What's that about?!

Okay, one more game!

Oh, that's right!

You don't have\Na Seventh Hokage card, do you?

Nope.

You can have this.

What?! Are you serious?

No, it's okay. I don't want it.

Huh? Why?

Well…

Because I've decided too!

To get the things I want\Nwith my own strength,

no matter how hard it is.

Then this is a reward\Nfor hitting bull's eye.

You've earned it

by working hard for it\Nall on your own.

So, what do you say?

Thank you!!

Will you continue training me\Non shuriken

tomorrow and the day after that too?

Sure…

But the road ahead is long,\Nyou know.

I know that!

Okay then, I'm gonna be really strict\Nwith you tomorrow!

Okay!

Oh yeah!\NIt's tomorrow, huh?

Yeah, but I don't want\Nto go home yet.

Boruto, it was just a few days,\Nbut I had a lot of fun.

Me too. I wasn't expecting it though.

Can we meet again?

Hey man…

Is that something that you'd say\Nto a friend?

Boruto!

Hey! Why are you crying?

Did you get the face?

Yeah.

Now, the Feudal Lord will\Nhave no choice

but to give in to Mujina's demands…

Understood.

We're all counting on you…

Boss.

Milord! Let's get away from here now!

Yamaoka, what happened?

I came across a dubious man!

He might be targeting\NLord Ikkyu's life!

If we remain he might\Neven target you!

No, I'll catch him!

Take me to him!

It's time to show Papa\Nthe results of my training!
