Chapter 95 Neji: That Damn Main Clan
"Stop, Neji."
A figure blocked Boruto's path.
Boruto looked at the figure in front of him, feeling somewhat unfamiliar: "Who are you?"
"I used to be the Third Hokage, but now I'm retired and just an ordinary old man at home."
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and gave Boruto a kind smile.
"oh oh."
Boruto nodded, but he was thinking about something else.
The Third Hokage?
Is he Konohamaru's older brother's grandfather?
But how could he remember that Konohamaru's grandfather, the Third Hokage, and his uncle, Sarutobi Asuma, were all dead?
Didn't they die now?
Boruto scratched his head.
If I had known I would be coming back, I would have studied Konoha's history beforehand.
"Naruto, you and this child can go do whatever you want first. I'll handle things here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Naruto.
"Oh, okay, thank you, Grandpa Three Generations."
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Third Hokage had come to his rescue, and quickly pulled Boruto away.
"Thank you so much, grandpa."
Boruto thanked him before leaving.
"What a polite child. He seems much better behaved than Naruto was when he was a child."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with satisfaction.
"Lord Third Generation, that person..."
"I understand."
Neji was about to say something when Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him.
Watching Boruto and Naruto's departing figures, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Neji on the shoulder: "That kid isn't what you think. He's deliberately hiding some of his identity. Don't bother them."
"Is that so? I understand."
Neji had no choice but to give up after seeing that the Third Hokage had said so.

Meanwhile, Boruto and Naruto finished their Ichiraku Ramen.
While Naruto was paying, the adult Sasuke returned and told Boruto that he was going to scout the area to see if there were any traces of Urashiki's operation. He told Boruto to keep an eye on Naruto and not to leave the village, as the village was safe now.
Sasuke is right.
Konoha is indeed very safe now.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Hiruzen Sarutobi are all in the village.
Even if Urashiki suddenly appears just as he leaves, even if Jiraiya and the others are no match for Urashiki, they can still make a commotion and delay him until he arrives.
Urashiki is a very strange Otsutsuki. He has the strength to kill people instantly since he appeared, but he has never killed a single person.
Gaara, Chojuro, Temari, Kankuro, Mitsuki, Shinki, Sarutobi Mirai...
It is said that Amaterasu is the fire of kindness. If that's the case, Urashiki is almost becoming a kind Otsutsuki.
Naruto took Boruto for another walk and noticed that Boruto seemed a bit listless. He then remembered that Boruto had been tied up there all night and hadn't slept.
Feeling embarrassed, she took Boruto home and let him rest for a while.
"Hey, you absolutely mustn't leave the village! -- Uh, I mean, you're my guide. Without you, I don't know where I'll go tomorrow."
Boruto was indeed a bit sleepy and had a headache. Seeing Naruto about to leave after dropping him off at home, he called out one last time.
After Naruto left, Boruto covered his eyes with one hand, and a voice appeared in his mind.
[Child of humanity, you are about to die.]
"It's you?! Death? Are you threatening me?"
Boruto covered his eyes.
[Oh, perhaps I used the wrong word; it wasn't death, it was disappearance.]
"Is there any difference?"
[You don't care about your disappearance, but what about your sister?]
"What do you mean?!"
"Feed?"
Why aren't you saying anything?
"..."
No matter how Boruto spoke, Momoshiki's voice no longer appeared. He realized that his headache had stopped, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he fell asleep.
When Boruto woke up again, it was already evening.
He lay on the floor, covered with a blanket, with Naruto already asleep beside him. There was an empty instant noodle cup on the table, so it seemed his dad was having this for dinner again.
At that moment, Boruto remembered Momoshiki's words that had been on his mind during the day.
When he defeated Momoshiki, he said some mystical things that sounded like prophecies, and he said them again today.
Is he not just overthinking things? Is he really going to disappear?
Boruto carefully lifted the blanket and stood up.
Yesterday he did confirm that his father's murder weapon was undamaged, but that was all.
Did Momoshiki say those things today to tell him that the thing was only superficially intact, but had actually lost its function?
Otherwise, why would Momoshiki say that he and his sister Himawari are going to die?
After yesterday's embarrassing incident, Boruto would never do the same thing again, but what could he do when it involved his sister's life and death?
"For the sake of the sunflowers, please forgive me, Dad, this is the last time..."
Boruto gritted his teeth and walked to Naruto's bedside again.
He needed to verify whether his father still had the ability.
Start!
"Ugh~ Sakura-chan, no, hehe~"
"..."
While Boruto was verifying the situation and praying that his father wouldn't wake up, he heard this very lewd muttering in his sleep.
Furthermore, Boruto has completed the verification process; his father's abilities are indeed correct.
But Boruto wasn't happy at all.
To her dismay, her own father was lewdly muttering Sarada's mother's name under these circumstances.
Could this be what Momoshiki meant when he said he was going to disappear?
Just as Boruto was feeling lost, believing he had learned the truth, Naruto woke up again.
This awakening is even more terrifying than the last one.
Last time the feeling was static, this time it's dynamic.
Naruto stared wide-eyed as he looked down.
What use is this iron rod to me?
I have it, so what if it changes?
Still uneasy, still melancholy...
"ah--------"
Another piercing scream echoed through the night.
This time, however, Sasuke didn't arrive; instead, another person was hesitating downstairs at Naruto's house.
Upon hearing Naruto's scream, Hyuga Neji immediately activated his Byakugan and looked over.
After learning from the Third Hokage that Boruto had a special identity, he did not intend to cause trouble for Boruto. However, in order to resolve his lingering resentment, he still wanted to secretly learn more about Boruto.
Who knew that Boruto slept all day and didn't wake up.
Just as Neji was about to leave after waiting for half a day, he heard this shout.
"No wonder the Third Hokage said there was no need to worry about Hinata's safety, so that's why..."
Neji saw the scene inside the room through his Byakugan and wished he could gouge his own eyes out.
On the way back, Neji was no longer worried about whether Boruto would harm Hinata. Instead, he started to wonder whether he should tell Hinata about it.
Neji mentally went through the process—
He told Hinata the truth about the "mutual deer child," and that if Hinata was still not convinced and thought Naruto liked men, then she would become a man.
Then, for Hinata's sake, and also because he felt that a man was more suitable to be the head of the main family, the clan head decided to have him, a member of the branch family, contribute something of his to Hinata...
This event is also recorded in Kakashi's book, "Kimono Paradise".
"Damn the main family!"
Neji decided to keep this a secret and absolutely not let anyone know.
He didn't hate Hinata; he hated the shameless system.
In order not to become like Hinata Neko, he had to apologize to Hinata and not tell her the truth.
