Scene: Konoha Park — Afternoon

  Boruto stood stiff, eyes scanning the horizon.

  Boruto (determined):

  “I know what’s happening… why won’t you let me go?”

  Yuta’s gaze was sharp, cold, yet calm.

  Yuta:

  “There’s a man… sure, I’m not Uchiha. He sacrificed his family for the world. But he saved his brother. For him, his brother was his world.”

  They walked side by side to the Itachi statue. Yuta sank to sit beside it, voice low.

  Yuta:

  “If I die protecting you… would you make a statue for your big brother too?”

  Boruto’s resolve broke. Tears streamed down his face. He collapsed into Yuta’s arms.

  Boruto (sobbing):

  “Don’t… leave me…”

  Yuta embraced him, gentle yet firm.

  Yuta:

  “Shh… I’m not going anywhere. You’ll be safe.”

  From a distance, Sasuke’s Sharingan and Rinnegan glimmered as he watched.

  Sasuke (quiet, almost breaking):

  “…He’s like my brother… like Itachi.”

  Sakura placed a hand gently on his arm.

  Sakura (softly):

  “It’s okay to cry, Sasuke. You’re seeing your brother in Yuta. I can feel it too.”

  Sasuke’s eyes hardened.

  Sasuke:

  “Ryouta… he’s becoming a killer version of Itachi. And now… Yuta is ready to die for Boruto, just like my brother.”

  Sakura’s hand found his jaw, gripping it firmly.

  Sakura:

  This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  “I want this, Sasuke. I want the world to burn… but not this fragile version of you. Make sure Yuta doesn’t die. Make sure Ryouta doesn’t become a killer yet more.”

  Sakura and sasuke forehead touches

  Sasuke smiled grimly, eyes alight with Sharingan and Rinnegan.

  Sakura:

  “Then burn the world… for these kids.”

  He vanished in a shimmer of teleportation, precise and lethal, echoing the power of her teenage prime.

  Scene: Daimyō Council — Same Time

  Every daimyō convened around the massive table. Boruto’s image was pinned in the center, knives resting above it.

  Daimyō 1:

  “We can handle Naruto or Sasuke if we must. But… Kakashi?”

  Daimyō 2 (grimly):

  “He could kill all of us… and walk away like nothing happened.”

  A rule was struck silently, unanimously:

  Daimyō:

  “If we must win… eliminate Kakashi Hatake first.”

  The room fell silent, the weight of that command echoing across nations.

  Scene: Five Kage Summit — Moments Later

  Naruto strode in, eyes sweeping the assembled Kage. Gaara, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Chōjūrō raised weapons, tense.

  Naruto (calm, commanding):

  “Guys… listen—”

  Gaara (regretful):

  “Sorry, Naruto. Our daimyō don’t want Konoha to survive.”

  Kurotsuchi (resigned):

  “We have no choice.”

  Darui and Chōjūrō signaled soldiers to move. The assembled shinobi bowed in shame, eyes downcast.

  Aira activated their Otsutsuki armor where eida in full rage with her Senrigan, floating above the field.

  Aira & Eida (in unison):

  “We love this man. You want to kill his father? Unacceptable.”

  Sarada grabbed Naruto’s hand.

  Sarada (urgent):

  “Run!”

  Shikamaru stepped forward, body rigid, forming a protective stance between Naruto and the attacking soldiers.

  A tense standoff rippled through the summit.

  Scene: Arrival of Kakashi Hatake

  A shadow fell over the battlefield. Slowly, deliberately, Kakashi emerged, Icha icha book in hand, eyes sharp.

  Kakashi (dry, teasing):

  “Let’s end this quickly. I have to pick up Sumire this afternoon. She has extra classes… smart kids, like me.”

  He activated a purple Chidori, lightning dancing along his arm, and leapt forward like a predator.

  Aira mirrored his movement, engaging the attackers midair.

  Shikamaru created a chakra shield around Naruto.

  Eida and Sarada worked in tandem, evacuating Naruto safely while Kakashi tore through the front line, precision and lethality in every strike.

  The hunt for Boruto had begun… and the battlefield was alive with predators.
