What village needs a Hokage like him?
It's clear that Tsunade feels being a Hokage is too troublesome.
Every time she sneaks out to gamble, she gets scolded by Shizune and Shikaku.
So, seeing that Ryosuke is now 14 years old, Tsunade can't wait to hand over the Hokage's position to him.
This way, she can completely let go of these troublesome duties and happily be Konoha's God of Gambling.
Ryosuke spread his hands and said, "Let's talk about the Hokage stuff later. I've been busy recently, and you know that."
Tsunade said, "I know, it's about getting engaged to Hinata and Ino."
Tsunade gave him an angry look and said, "Then it's settled. I'll give you the Hokage position when you finish your engagement."
That's a deal?
When did he agree?
Seeing Tsunade run off with Shizune, Rysouke shook his head speechlessly.
Tsunade is probably the one who most wants to get rid of her position among all the Hokages.
Even the unreliable Hashirama hadn't acted like this.
It seems that the Hokage's chair is filled with thorns, and she can't wait to pass it on.
Yugito Nii curiously asked, "Master, will you become Konoha's Hokage in the future?"
Ryosuke replied, "Let's talk about it later. Being the Hokage is quite troublesome."
Of course, it's troublesome, but it's not that troublesome either.
After all, like Tsunade, if he leaves the work to other trustworthy people, then he won't be so busy.
Why would he want to be like Naruto, who has no time to even be at home every day?
Is the Naruto in Boruto the Hokage?
I'm afraid he's just the ultimate workaholic.
Speaking of Naruto, Ryosuke remembered hearing from Tsunade earlier that Naruto and Jiraiya were about to come back soon?
He wondered how much Naruto had grown over the years?
Following Jiraiya to train outside, Naruto must have suffered a lot, right?
But, the Naruto in this world has worked harder than the original Naruto. He's not as mischievous and naughty.
Before going out to train with Jiraiya, his strength was already very good.
After training for so long now, his strength must be much greater than the Naruto in the original timeline, right?
...
In the Land of Rivers
In a small town
Naruto held a piece of bread in one hand and ate it angrily.
"Hmph~! Smelly Pervy Sage, he left me alone and ran away. He even took my wallet. I'm so mad!"
Naruto was too tired from practicing yesterday, so he got up a little late today.
When he tried to call Jiraiya, he was told by the hotel waiter that he had checked out and left a note.
[Naruto, see you later!]
Just had left such a note. When Naruto returned to the room, he found that his wallet was missing.
Needless to say, Jiraiya must have taken it.
After all, this isn't the first time this had happened.
Fortunately, after being tricked several times, Naruto has learned some things.
This time, he had secretly hidden some money elsewhere. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to eat now.
"Damn Pervy Sage, I'll ignore him for three days when we get back."
"Well... three days is a long time. I'll just ignore him for one day!"
At this time, the curtain of a shop on the side of the road ahead was suddenly lifted.
A figure wearing a windbreaker with red clouds, a white dress, and a black belt around his waist came out of the store.
As soon as the other person came out, Naruto subconsciously sensed something and walked toward them.
"Huh?"
"Sasuke?!"
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise.
Next second
"Sasuke!!!"
Naruto yelled and rushed over.
Sasuke, who had just eaten something from the shop, heard a familiar voice behind him.
He stopped abruptly, and turned around with a slightly surprised expression.
The next second—
"Sasuke!"
Naruto hugged Sasuke.
"Great! I thought I'd never see you again."
Naruto hugged Sasuke tightly, talking excitedly.
Sasuke's pupils trembled slightly as he reached out and patted Naruto's back lightly.
"Naruto, let me go first." He said.
Hearing this, Naruto let go of Sasuke with an embarrassed smile.
"Um... Sasuke, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm a little excited."
Naruto said with a smile, scratching the back of his head.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, who had grown a lot taller in front of him.
He smiled, and shook his head.
He said, "Naruto, long time no see."
Naruto smiled and asked hastily, "Yeah! It's been a long time. Sasuke, how have you been with your teacher? Has anyone bullied you?"
Hearing this, Sasuke shook his head and said, "No, Menma-sensei treats me very well. Everyone in the organization is very busy, and no one bullies me."
In fact, with Menma, it's impossible for anyone to bully Sasuke.
After all, Menma is the strongest under the recognized leader in the Akatsuki.
How dare others bully his disciples?
No matter how rebellious they are, they still have brains.
"Is that so? That's good!"
Naruto smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.
Then looked at Sasuke in front of him and said, "Sasuke, you have grown taller."
"Isn't that the same for you too?"
Sasuke smiled and said, "You used to be a little shorter than me, but now you are almost as tall as me."
"What! Since when have I been shorter than you? We've always been about the same height."
When Naruto heard this, he immediately became unhappy and argued.
Seeing Naruto like this, Sasuke smiled knowingly.
It felt like he had returned to the time back in the day, when they were still in team seven.
Sasuke asked, "How have you been over the past year?"
The two walked together.
"Very good, I have been following Pervy Sage to practice outside."
Naruto said, "Sasuke, I have become much stronger than before. Let me tell you, I also went to a place called Mount Myōboku, where I learned Sage Mode!"
Sage Mode?
Sasuke vaguely remembered hearing Menma mention this thing.
It seems to be a very powerful ability.
It can increase the power of ninjutsu.
Sasuke said, "Naruto, you are not the only one who has become stronger in the past year or so."
When it comes to the improvement of strength, Sasuke didn't think he was inferior to Naruto.
Over the past year, his strength has promoted from special Jōnin to official Jōnin, and then to Elite Jōnin level.
After that, he learned the Lightning release: Kirin and barely touched the threshold of Kage level.
And now, in Menma's evaluation, he is already reached the Kage-level.
Kage, that is the highest title in hidden villages in various countries. But Sasuke didn't get cocky because of that.
After all, who in the Akatsuki is not a Kage-level powerhouse?
Even the trainee Tobi has Kage-level strength.
Sasuke has fought with Tobi several times, but he has never won.
It was only after he got Menma's Kage-level evaluation that he was barely able to draw with Tobi.
In such an environment, how could Sasuke be arrogant?
But although he was not arrogant, Sasuke was very proud of the speed at which his strength had improved.
Therefore, when Naruto said that his strength had improved a lot over the past year, Sasuke somewhat wanted to compare with Naruto.
Let's see which of the two has improved more?
Outside the town
In a forest more than ten kilometers away
Naruto asked, "Sasuke, are you sure you want to compete with me? I am very strong now."
Naruto looked at Sasuke on the opposite side.
The two were talking about the improvement of their strength just now.
And they both felt that they had improved more than the other, so Sasuke suggested that they fight.
Sasuke said, "Come on Naruto, I'm not who I was a year ago."
With a flick of his hand, Sasuke threw away the Akatsuki windbreaker he was wearing.
Swish!
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Sasuke's eyes changed.
A blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.
He stared straight at Naruto, who was more than ten meters away.
"Okay then, I'm coming!"
Naruto was also full of fighting spirit.
After not seeing Sasuke for more than a year, he finally has the opportunity to compete with Sasuke again.
But Naruto had no intention of losing to Sasuke just because he hasn't seen him for a long time.
That would be disrespect to himself, and to Sasuke.
Naruto wouldn't do this kind of thing.
"Bring it on!"
Next second!
The figures of the two disappeared instantly.
The two afterimages in the air kept colliding.
Obviously, both of them had chosen to test each other's taijutsu first.
In addition to learning various Lightning release and Fire release ninjutsu, Sasuke has also trained his swordsmanship over the past year.
Menma had taught him a swordsmanship that specializes in speed.
If it is combined with Lightning release, it's speed won't even lose to White Fang's swordsmanship.
And Sasuke was also quite talented in swordsmanship.
At this time, he drew his sword and slashed. the speed of each sword slash was astonishingly fast.
As soon as Naruto fought against Sasuke, he realized that he was no match for Sasuke in Taijutsu.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto stepped back in an instant.
Suddenly dozens of identical Narutos appeared around him.
Naruto worked together with his dozens of Shadow Clones to condense a Rasengan in his hand.
Then, all the Rasengans gathered together to form an incomparably huge Rasengan.
"Lightning release swordsmanship: Earth Split!"
Sasuke softly shouted, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
A little embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
The name of this move is really weird.
He had asked Menma if he could change the name of this move?
But Menma had refused.
The name of the move must at least have some similarity with it's effect.
Naturally, Sasuke couldn't use this swordsmanship to split the earth.
But Ryosuke could.
Bang!!!
In the open space, a huge explosion sounded.
The moment Naruto and Sasuke's move collided, the power of both sides exploded in mid-air.
Sasuke, who had already made preparations, had already avoided in advance.
As for Naruto?
He wasn't near there at all. The one had used the move was just his Shadow Clone.
Next second!
The two figures displayed various ninjutsu.
Whether it's Lightning release or Fire release on Sasuke's side, or the Rasengans on Naruto's side, their power was amazing.
The forest around them was flattened by the aftermath of the battle between them.
And Sasuke hasn't shown his true strength yet.
But Sasuke also knew that Naruto hadn't used his full power as well.
Sasuke said, "Naruto, the warm-up session is over, now I'm going to be serious."
"Haha~! I'm ready too!" Naruto said with a smile.
Naruto had been using his Shadow Clones to accumulate Senjutsu Chakra from the very beginning.
Now, he had enough Senjutsu Chakra to enter Sage Mode.
"Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Sage Mode!"
Both of them shouted loudly.
The Three Tomoe Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes changed into Mangekyō in an instant, and a powerful pupil power erupted.
And Naruto also entered Sage Mode's.
