Naruto: Lama Tobi was exposed by the sky curtain

[Screen continues...]

Boruto, feeling dizzy, walked to a big tree and sat down to rest for a while.

"Ouch, that Xiao Ai really went all out. I almost fell over when she was trying to snatch the scrolls from those two upperclassmen."

"Let's rest for a bit first, and then we'll go to the central government to deliver the scroll later."

Ten minutes later, Boruto heard some sounds ahead.

The newcomers were the same group of ninja tool users from before.

"No, we're already far from the central government, but we still haven't collected enough scrolls."

"But the scrolls are running out of time now, and most people have already reached the central area."

"Tongzhu, Renwa, and Yezi, take these scrolls to advance your ranks. You have a better chance of becoming Chunin than we do."

"But what about you?"

"It's okay, let's try our luck again. If it doesn't work this year, there's always next year."

"..."

Boruto was startled to see the group of guys heading his way.

"Oh no, I'm no match for so many people in my current condition."

Just as he was about to retreat, a puppet appeared behind him out of nowhere. The puppet stretched out long tentacles and attacked him.

"Discovered!"

Boruto dodged the attack with a quick movement, but he also knew that he had been exposed.

The members of the ninja tool squad also assumed fighting stances upon seeing Boruto.

"It's the ninja squad again! Seize him!"

"Oh no, there are so many people."

Boruto threw a smoke bomb on the ground and then formed hand seals.

"The Art of Shadow Clone"

Boruto created four clones, each running in a different direction.

"Hehe, let's see how you find me now."

Ye Zi pointed to one of Boruto's figures and said, "That's the real Boruto."

"Go on!"

"catch him!"

"???"

Boruto was completely confused. "How did you find me?"

"What kind of shadow clone runs away while loudly mocking others?"

Tong Zhu looked at him as if he were mentally challenged.

"..."

Damn it, I got myself into trouble because of my talkativeness.

So Boruto and his friends staged a great escape in the forest.

[Yamano Inojin: Okay, that explains why so many people were chasing after you back then.]

[Akimichi Chocho: I thought you'd gotten into some trouble, turns out you've just suffered an undeserved misfortune.]

[Boruto Uzumaki:......]

Luckily, I'm agile, otherwise they would have ravaged me.

[Screen continues...]

Boruto finally reached the central area after running and stumbling, and the Ninja Tool Team also caught up with him there.

Boruto handed the scroll to the proctor and then sat down on the ground.

"Phew, at least I can catch my breath."

After he saw Ye Zi and the others hand the scroll to the proctor, he couldn't help but shout, "Hey! What have I ever done to you? Is this a big deal? You chased me all this way!"

Tong Zhu waved his hand helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do. We were tricked by your ninja team, and we just happened to run into you."

"..."

What kind of nonsense is that?

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you guys anymore."

Boruto got up and ran towards Shikadai and the others.

When Inojin saw Boruto arrive, he teased him, "Hey Boruto, what have you been up to? Why are so many ninja tool crew members chasing after you?"

"How was I supposed to know? These guys are insane."

Soon a bell rang, which meant that the competition had ended.

Then, a teleportation array appeared beneath everyone's feet, and with a flash of light, everyone was teleported back to where the exam had just begun.

After the proctors finished counting the number of students, Sai stepped forward to congratulate the students who had collected all the scrolls on passing the preliminary round.

"The official selection tournament will begin next week. There will be many other visitors from other provinces in Konoha City at that time. Please maintain the dignity of Konoha City and, in particular, do not do anything foolish."

After he finished speaking, most people turned their attention to Boruto. Even Shikadai and Inojin had subtle expressions in their eyes.

Noticing the questioning looks from everyone, Boruto blushed slightly before retorting, "Hey, why are you all looking at me like that!"

Sarada adjusted her glasses and said speechlessly, "Who told you to vandalize my dad and Uncle Naruto's portraits on the city hall wall at this time last year, making Konoha City lose all face?"

"That's all ancient history. I was too young to understand back then."

Boruto explained hesitantly.

Sarada completely ignored Boruto's explanation.

"You talk as if you're so sensible now, and it's only been a year."

Xiao Wu walked over with a smile and said, "It's alright. If Boruto gets naughty again, our city beautification department will have to welcome him back."

Upon hearing Xiaowu's words, Boruto's legs trembled. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, don't worry, I definitely won't cause any trouble this year."

Last year, after he graffitied the city government wall, Xiao Wu still caught him. Not only did she make him clean the wall, but she also made him use his shadow clone technique to take a mop and broom to help sanitation workers beautify the city.

When the shadow clone dissipated, the fatigue returned to him, causing him to sleep for a full day and night.

Boruto still gets a chill when he thinks about it now.

Xiao Wu patted Boruto on the shoulder and said, "Alright, stop overthinking. Uncle Naruto is here all week, let him give you some special training, it'll also help strengthen your father-son bond."

Hearing this, Boruto pursed his lips.

"Tsk, who wants to be taught by that old bastard? And now that he's back, Sasuke-san is back too. I'll go find him to teach me."

Sarada replied, "Then you can train with my brother. I hope you can handle it."

"Hey? And what about you?"

Judging from Sarada's words, is she no longer going to train with Sasuke?

Sarada replied, "I trained with Izuna, and in terms of practical combat skills and experience with the Sharingan, Izuna was superior."

After saying that, Sarada pulled Mai away from there.

[Uchiha Izuna: Haha, Sarada has a good eye. Sasuke's Sharingan's combat ability was only good enough to put him at the same table as a child in our time.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: ......]

Don't you even think about who taught me the techniques of the Sharingan when I awakened my Sharingan?

[Uchiha Sasuke: At least that idiot Naruto's son came to me for special training.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: !!!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Damn it! Boruto, why did you choose to train with that jerk Sasuke? Your dad is way better than him!]

[Boruto Uzumaki: Eh—really? But I completely trusted your teaching abilities when you taught me the Rasengan.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Hahaha, Sasuke heard that! Boruto completely trusts me.]

[Boruto Uzumaki:......]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Idiot.]
