Amado’s Lab

  Daemon sat upright on the examination chair, his little fists clenched in anticipation.

  “Feed me every boxing skill in my system,” he demanded, voice calm but brimming with authority.

  Amado nodded solemnly and began installing advanced modules into Daemon.

  Daemon’s eyes narrowed.

  “Someone hurt Hinata… and she said I’m only allowed to kill him in the boxing ring.”

  Amado’s hand trembled slightly as tears formed.

  “You… you’re becoming too good, my creation.”

  Before he could stop himself, Amado hugged Daemon tightly.

  “Grandpa… you okay?” Daemon asked.

  Amado blinked, stunned.

  “Grandpa?”

  Daemon tilted his head, perfectly serious.

  “You’re the father of Eida… so you’re my grandpa too.”

  Amado’s hug tightened, and Daemon’s small frame almost disappeared into the lab genius’ arms.

  Eida, observing silently, raised an eyebrow.

  “So… your type of guy? Won’t hug your children, but grandchildren are fair game? Interesting.”

  Amado snapped, blushing slightly.

  “Shut up! I’m just checking his body build!”

  Eida waved her hand dismissively.

  “Yeah, yeah… as if I didn’t know.”

  Moon Temple

  Higarashi and Kimoko lounged on their throne, their eyes following the incoming news feed.

  Aira bounced excitedly.

  “Dad, let’s go watch the Daemon vs Hawk fight! Let’s goooo!”

  Higarashi shook his head calmly.

  “Trust me. They’ll probably assume we plan to invade Konoha too, as everyone is doing nowadays.”

  Kimoko chuckled.

  “You never change, do you?”

  Aira pouted, but smiled.

  “Ohh, you too! I said watch the match — don’t destroy Konoha. Yuta is living there.”

  Kimoko waved her hand.

  “Okay, okay, maiden in love.”

  Hokage Office

  Naruto clapped his hands together with excitement.

  “Make sure every four main villages — and every village Hawk humiliated — gets front-row seats. The kids fighting Hawk should get VIP treatment!”

  Sasuke smirked.

  “Finally… someone speaks my language.”

  Shikamaru rubbed his temple.

  “I think they’ll try some underhanded tactics to win. Let’s see.”

  Toneri appeared out of thin air.

  “Book 50 tickets for the Moon Clan. We’re all coming to watch too.”

  Shikamaru nodded.

  “Sure. Money will flow into Konoha!” he shouted dramatically.

  Naruto grinned.

  “Let’s give every clan member the best hospitality we can. Show them how Konoha celebrates its champions!”

  Sasuke simply nodded, approving.

  Cafe — Sarada and Yuta

  Sarada sipped her tea, frowning.

  “You’re okay, Daemon calling you Papa?”

  Yuta nodded, glancing at the glowing little form of Daemon in the lab feed.

  “His entire body is powered by my chakra. Eida backs him up as well — Daemon is our child. Of course I love him… but not like I’d marry a girl right now. And, in the future, this doesn’t mean he’s my last. I need a proper non-scientific baby too.”

  Sarada looked down, a quiet hope flickering in her eyes.

  “There’s still… a chance for me, then?”

  She noticed the burn mark on Yuta’s cheek. Gently, she pushed back her glasses and touched it.

  “Yuta… you’re burned. Are you okay?”

  Yuta blinked, surprised.

  “No one noticed this before… you saw it?”

  Sarada smiled softly.

  “I always would.”

  Both of them blushed, the tiny connection forming between them simmering quietly in the busy cafe.

  Hatake Household

  Sumire’s small voice echoed through the quiet room.

  “Papa… you should sleep. You haven’t slept for four days.”

  Kakashi rubbed his eyes, still tense.

  “Yoru will bring his men. I can’t… I won’t sleep.”

  Boruto stepped in.

  “Mitsuki, help him get some rest.”

  Mitsuki approached silently and, with a quick motion, put Kakashi into a deep sleep.

  Boruto exhaled in relief.

  “Thank God… he was exhausted, or he might have tried to butcher us all.”

  Sumire blushed softly.

  “Thank you for making him sleep…”

  Boruto smiled.

  “I won’t let anyone take you away.”

  Sumire’s cheeks deepened.

  “Don’t leave me alone.”

  Boruto leaned closer, embarrassed.

  “Of course…”

  Sumire leans to kiss boruto , but

  Sumire, voice trembling and still blushing, whispered:

  “Why are you here?”

  Mitsuki glanced between them and muttered:

  “I’m observing… how humans act around the people they like.”

  Both Boruto and Sumire screamed in unison:

  “MITSUKIIIIIIII!!!”
