Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

"Want to be a hero, huh?"

Naruto squatted down, pinched Uzumaki Boruto's chin and slowly lifted his head up, facing a group of panicked slaves.

Through his swollen eyes, Boruto Uzumaki could clearly see the fear and despair on the slaves' faces.

"Then I'll give you this chance... Make a choice:

I will let you go, and will allow you to take two more slaves from this group;

Or... let me kill you in exchange for their safety.

You choose... now, immediately!"

Boruto Uzumaki couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these words.

The two choices Naruto gave...neither of them was the result he wanted.

What he wanted was obviously...

"I won't choose! No matter what, I must take everyone away with me!"

Boruto Uzumaki found the strength from nowhere to slap Naruto's hand away and staggered to his feet from the ground.

"As long as I haven't fallen completely, I will never give up!"

“Good fighting spirit.”

There was a hint of admiration in Naruto's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“But I have to say you are still too naive.

In this world, when you don't have enough strength, you shouldn't expect others to give you more charity when they are showing you mercy...

To want both is simply to be a hooligan!"

"You are wrong. My father once protected everyone in a village, and he didn't pay any price!"

Seventh Hokage: (ー_ー)!!

[You didn't even mention the fact that your father was captured by Otsutsuki Momoshiki and hung on a tree to have his heart ripped out?! ]

“That’s because your father already had the strength to protect the village, and… do you really think he didn’t sacrifice anything?

At least in my opinion, what he sacrificed to protect the village was the time alone with you and the right to teach you personally."

In fact, if Boruto had a clear mind, he would have a high probability of noticing the flaw as soon as he heard this.

Because how could a ninja leader who came to collect a debt know about his family in another world?

However, at this moment he didn't have time to think about it at all.

One reason was that the dull pains in his body were constantly interfering with his thoughts, and the other was...

Naruto didn't even give him time to think, and signaled with his eyes for Biwa Juzo to take action.

After receiving Naruto's signal, Biwa Juzo smiled cruelly and directly picked out a person who was very familiar to Uzumaki Boruto from the group of slaves.

"What are you going to do... Boruto-nii, save me... ah!!!"

Biwa Juzang raised his sword and slashed, and the little loli Juejuezi died on the spot!

(Black Zetsu: I’ve finished filming, throw some flowers~)

"Do not!!!"

Boruto Uzumaki's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this. His body, which had barely stabilized, trembled violently and fell to the ground again.

"Juejuezi, she is just a child!

How could you bear to do that to her?!"

Naruto: (ー_ー)!!

[Child?! I hope that after you remember the true identity of your younger sister Juejuezi, you can still say this with confidence...]

“When people are faced with a choice, they must think clearly whether they have time to hesitate;

Because if you hesitate even for a moment, you could lose everything.

I don't have that much time nor the mood to wait for you to think slowly, so...

Every minute, I will order the killing of a slave until you make your choice.

If you still haven't made a choice after all these slaves are dead, I will assume that you have chosen the first option.

I will congratulate you wholeheartedly then, because you will be the first person to survive our knife."

"No, you can't do this!"

"Timing begins."

"I beg you to let them go!"

"Twenty-two seconds left."

……

No matter how much Uzumaki Boruto begged, Naruto remained indifferent and just counted down in front of him.

"20 seconds."

Hoshigaki Kisame laughed strangely and pulled Uzumaki Boruto's Uncle Fei out of the crowd.

"15 seconds."

Hoshigaki Kisame's knife was already placed at the back of Uncle Fei's neck.

"Ten seconds."

The ninja sword was held high by Hoshigaki Kisame, waiting for Naruto's order.

"Five, four, three, two..."

"kill me!"

"……What did you say?"

"Kill me and let them go!"

Boruto Uzumaki's voice trembled slightly, but there was no lack of firmness in it.

Naruto smiled.

"Have you thought it through?

Is it worth sacrificing your life as a ninja to save the lives of a group of slaves?"

"value!"

Uzumaki Boruto answered with a firm voice.

"……Why?"

"Because I am a ninja, a ninja who exists to protect the weak!"

He was filled with sorrow and hatred and tears were streaming down his face... At this moment, Boruto Uzumaki was crying very miserably.

But Naruto could see fear, terror, confusion, resentment in his eyes... but he could not see the word "regret".

This shows that this choice came from Boruto Uzumaki's heart.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, the reward has been issued. ]

Just at this moment, the voice of the dog system sounded in Naruto's mind.

[Very good, Pineapple...Bald boy, you have finally made progress~]

Naruto was so excited that he almost cried with joy.

Logically speaking, the transformation of Uzumaki Boruto, the naughty boy, has been successfully completed;

It is time for everyone involved in the performance to wrap up their work and go back to celebrate with champagne.

However, in the next moment, Naruto suddenly made a move that no one expected.

"In that case... then I'll grant your wish!"

Naruto suddenly took out a brand new ninja sword from the system space, and before everyone could react, he stabbed it towards Uzumaki Boruto's heart.

Everyone present: (“▔□▔) What the hell?! Uzumaki Naruto, what are you doing?!

puff!

The tip of the knife easily pierced Uzumaki Boruto's heart and came out from his back.

"Uzumaki Naruto, are you crazy?!"

"Naruto, do you know what you are doing?!"

"You rebellious son, give me..."

The people hiding in the dark appeared one after another, rushing towards Naruto with angry faces.

Naruto: (ー_ー)!!

"Don't even come here!"

Naruto loudly stopped the people who wanted to rush over to teach him a lesson, and stared at Uzumaki Boruto's "body" intently.

[It has come to this, why don’t you come out? Otsutsuki…]

Just as Naruto was thinking in his heart, the "body" of Boruto Uzumaki hanging on the blade suddenly changed:

Two blue stripes extended from Boruto Uzumaki's right hand and penetrated his entire right half of the body in the blink of an eye. Blade-like horns also grew on his head.

Uzumaki Boruto: ⊙_⊙! Otsutsuki Momoshiki...on the number!

Naruto: ⊙w⊙~

[Finally you decided to come out, Tao Lama~]
