Chapter 807: Boruto: Naruto, You'll Understand When You're My Age
The next day, Boruto arrived at the park where he had arranged to meet with Dai Tu.
Dai Tu had promised to introduce him to Little Sasuke and also had a surprise in store.
"A surprise, huh? What could it be?" Boruto wondered curiously as he walked towards the park.
He had to admit that Dai Tu was quite the showman, as this simple meeting had piqued his curiosity.
Boruto had excellent vision, and even before reaching the park entrance, he spotted Dai Tu waving at him from a distance.
Boruto quickened his pace, running towards Dai Tu.
As Boruto approached, Dai Tu focused his chakra in his eyes, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, and unleashed his Divine Might.
"Ta-da! Little Sasuke, enter!"
With a twist of space, Little Sasuke appeared beside Dai Tu.
"Wow, such a tiny Sasuke-san!" Boruto exclaimed, instantly captivated by the three-year-old Sasuke.
Boruto, who had been pondering Dai Tu's intentions, was momentarily distracted by the young Sasuke, his heart filled with surprise.
Little Sasuke wore a simple black stand-collar long-sleeve shirt with the Inazuman clan's emblem on the chest and plain black shorts without any patterns, a rather modest outfit.
Unlike the older Sasuke, whose long hair covered his eyes, Little Sasuke sported a lively short haircut, exuding vitality.
What surprised Boruto the most was Little Sasuke's demeanor. He had expected a cool and aloof kid, but Little Sasuke seemed to have a hint of softness and cuteness.
"Dai Tu, who is he?" Little Sasuke asked, tugging at Dai Tu's clothes, feeling a bit intimidated by Boruto's intense gaze.
"His name is Boruto, and he's a very strong ninja," Dai Tu explained, giving Boruto a thumbs-up.
Dai Tu secretly admired Boruto's resilience, especially considering the 'Xie' embedded in his body.
Hearing Dai Tu's praise, Boruto stood tall, chest puffed out, accepting the compliment with ease.
After all, he was a genius, a ninja acknowledged by his father.
"Oh, you mentioned a surprise, was it Little Sasuke?" Boruto couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not," Dai Tu shook his head.
Sasuke was the promise he had made to Boruto; how could he be the surprise?
"Then what is the surprise?" Boruto asked, full of anticipation.
If even the non-surprise Sasuke had given him such a big surprise, the actual surprise must be incredible.
"You'll see soon," Dai Tu chuckled, snapping his fingers with his right hand, and once again, Divine Might was unleashed.
With a distortion of space, Naruto, playing with a toy, was transported out of the Divine Might space by Dai Tu.
"It's you, the impolite and naughty little brat!" Naruto was about to greet Dai Tu when he spotted Boruto and scolded him with a scowl.
Boruto: ...
"So, you two know each other," Dai Tu scratched his head.
He had wanted Boruto to meet his 'father' when he was young.
From their interaction, it seemed they had not only met but also had an unpleasant encounter.
"Where did you learn that word, and you're the brat here," Boruto couldn't help but tease.
Being called a brat by his father was one thing, but being called a brat by a three-year-old 'father' was just bizarre.
"Whatever, you're just an innately evil yellow-haired brat!" Naruto glared at Boruto.
"Ahem, he's Boruto, and he's actually a very strong ninja," Dai Tu coughed lightly, attempting to change the subject by introducing Boruto.
"So, he's a strong, innately evil yellow-haired brat!" Naruto incorporated Dai Tu's new description.
Dai Tu sighed, looking up at the sky. If he had known, he wouldn't have told Naruto the story of the innately evil white-haired brat.
Others might have thought he was a bad influence on the child.
"You two are interested in ninja training, right? Today, I'll let you experience it firsthand," Dai Tu quickly brought out his trump card to divert Naruto's attention.
"Dai Tu, is that true?" Naruto turned to Dai Tu with eager eyes.
Due to his young age, Kushina and Wave Water Gate had not yet started his training.
Wave Water Gate intended to ask Kakashi or Dai Tu to teach Naruto when he turned four.
As for why he didn't ask Moonbath, the reason was simple. Moonbath was currently the leader of the Ninja World, not a teacher at the Ninja School.
Wave Water Gate felt awkward asking Moonbath for this favor. If Moonbath politely declined, it would be fine, but if he agreed, how could they manage the affairs of the Ninja World?
"Of course, keeping my word is my ninja way."
Dai Tu burst into laughter.
"So cool! Keeping your word is my ninja way too!"
Naruto raised his right arm and cheered.
"You're not even a ninja yet, so what do you know about the ninja way?"
Little Sasuke retorted.
"Who said only ninjas can have a ninja way?"
Little Sasuke was left speechless in response to Naruto's rebuttal.
"So, this is how my dad and Mr. Sasuke interacted when they were young?"
Boruto's expression was somewhat complex.
The calm and collected father was once a mischievous kid who liked to shout, and the cool and aloof teacher was once a cute little boy. How come they both enjoyed playing with contrasts?
"Why did Mr. Sasuke turn out like that?"
Boruto was curious about what Sasuke had gone through.
While the transformation from a mischievous kid to a calm adult could be explained by maturity, normal growth wouldn't turn a cheerful young boy into a cool older brother.
"Hey, blondie, why are you just standing there by yourself?"
Naruto, seeing Boruto standing alone, asked.
Boruto was pulled back from his thoughts, and his expression was a bit strained.
Even though it wasn't the first time he had heard this, Boruto still felt a bit annoyed.
"You'll understand when you're my age, kid."
Boruto retorted.
Being lectured by his dad in his own world was one thing, but now in the parallel world, he had to endure being lectured by a three-year-old version of his "father." Boruto felt the need to strike back.
"You're not that much older either, so why are you acting so grown-up?"
Little Sasuke didn't leave Naruto to fight alone and joined him in his argument.
The group continued bickering as they made their way to the training ground.
"Kunai is one of the most commonly used ninja tools. It can be thrown as a hidden weapon or used as a short blade," Dai Tu explained as he took out several kunai from his ninja tool bag and demonstrated their use.
In Dai Tu's hands, the kunai seemed to come alive, hitting every target with pinpoint accuracy, earning him the admiration of Naruto and Little Sasuke.
Then, Dai Tu led the three of them to a small waterfall and explained, "Some ninjas use the pressure of the waterfall to aid in their training."
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
Due to his advantageous position, Dai Tu demonstrated his skills by unleashing a blue flame towards the waterfall, instantly evaporating a large amount of water.
"Wow, the fire didn't go out in the water, and the color is so beautiful!"
Naruto exclaimed in surprise.
It was the first time he had seen such a peculiar flame.
"So cool!"
Little Sasuke also looked on with admiration.
"It's so lame to show off in front of kids,"
Boruto thought to himself.
Dai Tu could have continued demonstrating his ninja techniques after showcasing the ninja tools, but he specifically waited until they reached the waterfall to do so, clearly aiming for the best presentation of his jutsu.
"Aren't you a ninja too? Why are you just standing there watching?"
Naruto, noticing Boruto's silence, asked.
"Rasengan!"
Boruto immediately gathered a chakra sphere in his palm and threw it out.
However, just moments after the Rasengan was released, it seemed to dissipate and disappear into thin air.
"That looked so weak,"
Naruto commented.
Compared to Dai Tu's impressive display of the blue flame evaporating a large amount of water, Boruto's Rasengan seemed like an inferior jutsu.
Boruto smiled but remained silent. This was no ordinary Rasengan.
Boom!
Two seconds after Naruto's comment, the Rasengan reappeared and slammed into the waterfall, creating a huge splash.
"How did it suddenly reappear?"
Naruto was astonished.
"This is the invisible Rasengan infused with lightning-style chakra!"
Boruto said proudly.
His Rasengan had proven its worth in the battle against Daitoryu Tao shi.
"That sounds impressive too,"
Sasuke praised.
Naruto also chimed in with his praise.
A rich smile appeared on Boruto's face. It was so easy to outdo the "old man" and "Mr. Sasuke."
"Do you two want to play a game?"
Dai Tu took out a pair of earrings and asked.
