The Hokage’s office was unusually quiet when Naruto stepped in.

  His eyes immediately went to Boruto’s stomach—

  the Uzumaki seal-symbol glowing faintly.

  Naruto crossed his arms.

  “Eat properly. Drink properly. Sleep properly. And don’t forget to study, alright?”

  Boruto groaned. “Dad—”

  Aira raised her hand, smiling softly.

  “Relax, Lord Seventh. He’s with me. And Toneri won’t hurt him. He was a villain before, but now… he’s my best knight.”

  Toneri bowed deeply, hand over heart.

  “I will protect your son. My queen is everything to me.”

  Boruto slung his bag over his shoulder. “Okay, we’re leaving—”

  Before he could move, Sumire tackled him in a full-speed spear-hug.

  “Boruto! Don’t die, okay?!”

  Boruto blinked. “…Huh? I’m not dying.”

  Naruto and Hinata looked at each other—

  and both sighed at the exact same time.

  “Our son is dumb in love too…”

  Kakashi, leaning in the corner with his book, didn’t even look up.

  “It’s genetics. Just ignore it.”

  Naruto rubbed his forehead. “This is my life…”

  He clapped his hands suddenly.

  “Anyway! I’m heading out for my training. I’ll be back in a few days.”

  Shikamaru grumbled, “So I’m Hokage for a few days. Troublesome…”

  Naruto winked and vanished.

  The air grew thinner as they crossed into moon territory.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Toneri walked beside Aira, his expression serious.

  “So, my queen… your parents will be arriving soon?”

  Aira coughed softly. “Yes… um… is that okay?”

  Toneri sighed.

  “You were sealed for years. And you’re returning with the reincarnation of the man you loved… and now you bring his brother. Your father might be… angry.”

  Boruto raised a fist confidently.

  “I can make him love me!”

  Aira giggled.

  “My parents don’t hate humans.

  But… they were against me and Sylus.

  And when I was sealed, I inherited his Shinseigan.

  My dad might dislike you at first.

  But you can win him over.”

  Boruto shrugged. “I have Sasuke-uncle. I’ve seen worse.”

  Toneri actually burst into laughter.

  The moment Boruto stepped inside, a cold wind wrapped around him like a warning.

  Aira whispered, “They’re here…”

  Two figures appeared from the shadows.

  A tall man with a stoic, unreadable expression.

  A woman beside him with a gentle, calm smile.

  The man spoke, voice deep and echoing in the hall.

  “My name is Higarashi.”

  The woman bowed slightly.

  “And I am Kimiko. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

  Higarashi studied Boruto sharply.

  “So… you are the reincarnation of Sylus’ brother.

  Yuta’s brother of this era.”

  Toneri stepped forward respectfully.

  “Former King, this is Boruto Uzumaki.”

  Boruto bowed nervously. “Y-Yes, sir.”

  Kimiko smiled warmly.

  “Would you like to train with us?”

  Boruto felt their chakra—heavy, ancient, crushing.

  He could barely breathe.

  But he clenched his fists.

  “…Yes. I’ll train. Please teach me.”

  Aira smiled proudly.

  Toneri smirked.

  Higarashi nodded with approval.

  Boruto Uzumaki’s training with the Moon Clan had begun.
