Ren’s leg is suddenly caught by Naruto’s Kyūbi cloak tail.

  Naruto, face dark, voice trembling with rage:

  Naruto:

  “Move one more inch… and I’ll break every bone you regenerate.”

  He SLAMS Ren into the ground—

  CRACK— CRACK— CRACK

  Bones shatter, reform, and shatter again.

  Sasuke uses Naruto’s tail as a launchpad.

  He FLASH-steps above Ren and swings—

  but Ren counters, blocking with cosmic chains.

  Ren smirks.

  Ren:

  “This is one of Asmodeous’ powers.

  Break it… if you can.”

  Sasuke gives the coldest smile.

  Sasuke:

  “Why break it…”

  AMENOTEJIKARA.

  He swaps himself with Ren, placing Ren in his own trap.

  Naruto shifts into full Kyūbi Mode and begins pummeling Ren with explosive fists.

  Yuta drops beside him.

  Both father and son unleash a barrage of Uzumaki-style, chakra-amplified punches—a hurricane of fists.

  Sakura rushes in, instantly healing Ryouta and Boruto.

  Ryouta lowers his eyes.

  Ryouta:

  “...Sorry.”

  Boruto winces.

  Boruto:

  “It’s fine. But… why did we lose?

  We’re strong. Stronger than even Dad and Sasuke were at our age.”

  Sakura places a hand on their heads.

  Sakura:

  “Strength isn’t everything.

  They have something you don’t.”

  Boruto and Ryouta look up.

  Sakura:

  “Bond.

  Your fathers bled together, fought wars together, nearly died together.

  Their hearts move in perfect sync.

  You two… are still growing.”

  Boruto exhales slowly.

  Boruto:

  “Guess… there’s still a lot to learn.”

  Ryouta nods quietly.

  Yuta:

  “I’m not injured.

  I’m going in.”

  Sakura nods.

  Yuta leaps into Naruto’s Kyūbi aura beside his father.

  Both unleash synchronized punches so fast Ren’s body becomes a blur of regenerating meat.

  Sasuke activates Susanoo, slamming Ren down with ethereal chains.

  Naruto and Yuta hammer him nonstop—

  Ren screams, laughing:

  Ren:

  “KEEP HITTING ME!

  I can take TWO DAYS OF THIS!

  YOU CAN’T KILL ME!”

  Naruto glances at Sasuke.

  Naruto:

  “What if we throw him into the sun?”

  Ren:

  “NO. NO. NO. NO—NOOO—”

  Sasuke shrugs.

  Sasuke:

  “That’s… actually a good idea.”

  Boruto raises a hand.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Boruto:

  “I can arrange that.”

  He summons Toneri.

  Toneri appears, floating elegantly.

  Toneri:

  “You called upon me? For what purpose?”

  Boruto:

  “Examine him.

  Find every trace of Asmodeous’ power.”

  Toneri smiles too widely.

  Toneri:

  “Oh, Majin and I will enjoy this.

  Deeply.”

  Sasuke deactivates Susanoo, tosses Ren at Toneri’s feet.

  Sasuke:

  “Experiment thoroughly.

  I’ll just mark him as dead after… tripping on a rock while escaping.”

  Toneri drags Ren away, laughing maniacally.

  Naruto sighs.

  Naruto:

  “We barely escaped disaster…”

  He looks at Yuta, Boruto, Ryouta.

  Yuta stretches.

  Yuta:

  “I need more physical training.

  Can’t stay the weak one.”

  Naruto nods seriously.

  Sasuke lifts Ryouta onto his back.

  Ryouta (blushing):

  “D-Dad! I’m fourteen! Not a toddler!”

  Sasuke:

  “You’re still my baby.”

  Sakura laughs.

  Naruto grabs both Yuta and Boruto under his arms.

  Naruto:

  “Looks like I have two loads to carry.”

  Both boys blush hard.

  At a café:

  Aira and Eida sit together.

  Sarada and Sumire join them.

  Sarada raises her chin.

  Sarada:

  “We’re the girls of this generation.

  We need to be ready.”

  Sumire nods.

  Sumire:

  “I want to make Kakashi proud.

  He took care of me… for years.”

  Aira smirks.

  Aira:

  “Train with us, then.”

  Sarada and Sumire nod with determination.

  Eida smiles softly.

  Eida:

  “I like this.”

  At the dojo—

  Himawari manages to make Yahiko stumble with a perfect leg kick.

  Himawari:

  “Was that good?!”

  Yahiko grins.

  Yahiko:

  “Good.

  Time to teach you my real technique.”

  A massive chakra dragon forms around his arm.

  Himawari’s eyes widen.

  Himawari:

  “What is this…?”

  Yahiko:

  “My Berserker Mode.

  This dragon bites into enemy chakra and feeds you more strength.”

  Himawari:

  “What’s the drawback?”

  Yahiko freezes—then laughs proudly.

  Yahiko:

  “You’re eleven and already asking the right questions.

  The drawback is—

  You need monstrous chakra reserves.

  I can’t fully master it…

  but YOU?

  You’re an Uzumaki.

  You’re my masterpiece.”

  Himawari beams.

  Yuta wakes up sensing someone next to him.

  It’s Eida—snuggled against him.

  Yuta sighs.

  Yuta:

  “You can do this in daytime too, you know.”

  Eida:

  “Sarada and Aira don’t let me anywhere near you during the day.”

  Yuta:

  “...fair.”

  Eida’s voice softens.

  Eida:

  “I was programmed to carry your seed… to love you.

  But what I feel now—

  it’s real.

  I don’t want to lose this.”

  Yuta blushes slightly.

  Yuta:

  “It’s okay.

  Hug me all you want.

  No funny business.”

  Eida gently places her ear on his chest.

  Eida:

  “Your heartbeat…

  Are you nervous?”

  Yuta:

  “No girl has ever been this close…”

  Eida smiles.

  Eida:

  “I won’t force anything.

  I just need warmth.

  My heart doesn’t beat much…”

  Yuta hugs her back.

  Yuta:

  “You’re important too.

  Just like Sarada.

  And Aira.”

  Eida buries herself deeper into his chest.

  Eida (soft):

  “Thank you… for making me feel human.”

  She stands, flies out the window.

  Eida:

  “I’ll come back tomorrow for more hugs.”

  Yuta screams into his pillow.

  Yuta:

  Hugging a girl is more scary then fighting god
