章 261: 254. SSXR Card
Twenty years in the future,
"How is the investigation going, Sasuke?!"
Naruto is resting against the Hokage chair as he poses a question to Sasuke.
"The situation up there is quite chaotic. It has been ten years since a full-blown between them have started. The Otsutsuki's are growing restless day by day!" Sasuke sighs and stares out of the window.
"Hah! The ambition of Otsutsukis are too grand. Thankfully, the other faction is keeping them engaged. But we won't entertain any of them. After all, both factions are just the opposite sides of the same coin." Shikamaru places down a report.
"Thankfully, we have you and Ayaka to monitor their movements. If not for your intel, our world would have ended up as their nutrition long ago." Naruto leans forward on the table.
"It is our responsibility. Besides, who else other than me and Ayaka possess the ability to transverse dimensions." Sasuke takes out a scroll from his pocket.
"Damn! It sucks to be so weak!" Shikamaru leans against the wall.
"We are nothing more than ration and chakra pills in the eyes of these monsters." Shikamaru clicks his tongue.
"Well yeah! Those two Otsutsuki fellows surely learned their lesson for underestimating our abilities." Naruto recounts the details of their recent battle.
"Those two fellows are least of our concern. They have little status in their clan. That foul-mouthed guy was a small prince from a branch family. He was too desperate to prove himself, all to preserve his status. The other was just his attendant. "
Sasuke shakes his head.
"The most troublesome is the third guy who escaped from our clutches. He is a member of the royal family. I am not sure of his status or rank in the clan but his abilities are real."
Naruto stands from his seat and walks towards a bulletin board.
He criss-crosses the picture of Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
"This third Guy Urashiki is dangerous!"
Naruto returns to his seat and picks up the report presented by Shikamaru.
"This is…"
"See for yourself!" Shikamaru rests on the couch.
"This lazy guy!" Naruto grumbles and reads the scroll.
"A new Otsutsuki ruin?!"
He raises an eyebrow as his eyes meet with Sasuke.
"It's just as Nii-san predicted. There are four Otsutsuki ruins spread throughout the Shinobi World. We have already excavated the other three ruins, only this last ruin was hidden from our sight." Naruto folds the scroll.
"Yeah! After the initial ruin exploration, the explorer team found a strange turtle-shaped vase. Since it is a relic of the past, I passed it to the research department to decipher its secrets. After all, it can give us more clues about the Otsutsuki clan."
Shikamaru remarks.
"Leave this matter for later. For now, our key priority should be Urashiki. Naruto you should remain on your guard. His target is the Nine-tails sealed inside you." Sasuke warns him.
"I will be on guard!" Naruto nods his head.
"I will send someone from Anbu to guard your house." Shikamaru stands up.
"There is no need for it. Besides, Dad is also there with me." Naruto waves his hand.
"Alright! I still have other matters to attend to. So, I will take my leave." Shikamaru picks up a scroll from the table.
He walks out of the Hokage Office leaving Sasuke and Naruto alone.
Sigh…
Sasuke sighs and his expression turns serious.
"Naruto! I am sure you are already aware of Boruto's condition."
"Yeah! During the chunnin exam invasion, Momoshiki brandished him with his Kama seal." Naruto touches his forehead in worry.
"It's not the first time, we have been through this. Previously, thanks to Nii-san, the situation was resolved. Also, Ayaka is an exception. But Boruto…"
Words linger in Naruto's word. He takes a deep breath and calms himself.
"If only Nii-san was here…" Sasuke mumbles to himself.
--------------
Inside Yakiniku-Q restaurant,
"Eat up! All of you eat up. It's my treat today!"
A twelve-year-old boy with spiky blond hair and blue eyes waves his hand.
"Then I will eat my fill!" A dark-skinned girl with amber eyes and a round physique picks up a piece of meat and stuffs it in her mouth.
"Damn! You sure are in a bright mood even after failing the chunnin exam." Another boy sitting opposite to him remarks.
The boy has spiky black hair tied in a ponytail. He has teal-colored eyes and laziness erupts from his demeanor.
"Boruto! You have yet to repay me from the last time and you still have enough money to spend on a party."
Another girl with onyx eyes and shoulder-length dark hair with a tint of blue at end chimes in.
"Sarada! You sound like my grandma. Also, grandpa gave me money to treat you all." Boruto grumbles.
"Hehe! It's time for the finale of this party."
Boruto takes out a small cardboard box from his pocket. He removes the seal and three plastic packets appear in his hand.
"This is the last packet left in the shop. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it. Hehe!"
"Hmph! What's so exciting about these cards? A packet of potato chips is more useful than this. You can eat them and appease your hunger." The dark-skinned girl grumbles.
"You won't understand, Chocho! Besides, you only have eyes for food. You won't understand the charm of these 'Extreme: Shinobi Picture Scrolls'." Boruto peels the plastic wrapper with excitation.
"Whatever! Potato chips are still the best." Chocho snorts and picks up another piece of meat.
"So, yummy!"
Boruto ignores her and slowly opens the first packet.
"Give me an SSR card… Give me an SSR card…" He prays while opening the first pack.
Ten cards appear in the pack. Boruto hurriedly scrambles through the pack as the color of his face changes.
"What a bummer! No SSR card in this pack."
He throws the pack aside and focuses his attention on the second pack.
"Bless me with luck. Just give me a good SSR card." Boruto silently prays in his heart.
Zip…
He slowly peels the outer layer as his heart races in excitement.
"Not this one… not this one… not this too…" He scrambles through the cards.
"Finally! It is an SSR card." Boruto jumps in joy.
"It's uncle Itachi too. I am so happy." Boruto jumps in excitement.
"Uncle Itachi!" Sarada pushes him away and stares at the card.
"It's indeed Uncle Itachi!"
"Hey! What was that for?" Boruto snatches the card from her hands.
"Let me take a look at the stats!"

"Yay! This is a very powerful card. It's one of my best cards."
Boruto ignores the rest of the cards and gently places this card in an album.
"Now for the last pack." Boruto rubs his hands in excitation.
"I wonder if this pack will have good cards too."
Boruto peels the cover with trembling hands.
"Not this… Not this… Not this…"
One by one, he scrambles through eight cards and his expression turns ugly.
"None of them are good!"
His vision finally rests on the ninth card.
"Damnit! It's Dad again! Why do I keep getting his cards?"
Boruto complains as he stares at the smiling picture of adult Naruto.
He stares at the stats of Naruto.

"Anyway… I will still keep this card. It will be a waste of an SSR card."
He pockets the Naruto card and grumbles.
"That killed my mood. Even so, at least I got the Uncle Itachi card!"
Boruto ignores the last card and prepares to throw it away as he glances at the card.
"WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL?!"
Boruto yells loudly, alarming nearby customers. They turn to Boruto with angry looks.
"We are sorry! We are sorry!" Sarada apologizes to them.
"My friend has a few loose screws. Don't mind him!" She angrily turns to Boruto.
"What was that?!"
"This… this…" Boruto points towards the last card.
"What is it?" Sarada turns to the last card and her mouth opens in an 'O' shape.
"No way!"
She hurriedly picks up the card and reads the details.

"Wow!"
Boruto's and Sarada's mouth forms an ellipse as they read the state of the cards.
"You guys!" A pale-skinned boy with blond hair snatches the card from them.
"Let me take a look."
"Holy Shit!" His eyes open wide.
"What's the big deal, Inojin!" Shikadai grabs the card.
"What's the deal with this card? Heh! Isn't it too broken?"
