Sneaking Around

After he deepened his bond with Hanabi, Boruto returned home with his father. The little Himawari welcomed them together with Hinata.

Once Himawari spotted Boruto, she rushed towards him and tackled him on the ground.

"Big brother! Welcome home!"

Like a cat, she snuggled her cheeks against his, and Boruto repaid the affection in the form of a head pat.

In the past life, although he interacted with her a lot, it wasn't enough, that's why he decided to spare some time for her. They would play for a bit while his clones would make him more accustomed to his new body.

After escaping Himawari's grasp, Boruto went upstairs to his room and laid down on the bed.

'Tonight, old man Kakashi will be home and there will be only two Jounins guarding the safe. I already know the password so as long as I can get into the Hokage office, it will be easy. I need to get all of those Jutsus.'

It didn't take long for night to arrive and Boruto began his operation.

He left a shadow clone in his bed and changed his appearance to that of an old man. He opened the window and didn't forget to close it behind him.

'It's now or never.'

With that thought, he disappeared into the night.

He enjoyed the beautiful night sky as he jumped from one rooftop to another. After a few minutes, he arrived at his destination.

'This is it. Now I just need to get inside.'

He looked around and spotted two Jounins sneaking through the entrance of the Hokage office.

'Hm...I don't recognize them. Are they thieves by any chance?'

Boruto followed them closely behind and eavesdropped on them.

One of the men was a burly old man with Jounin dress and a black hat on his head and Boruto could smell the scent of alcohol on him.

"Oi...Iz it true dat Hokage's office iz full of maney? Ya better not be shittin' me."

The burly man took out a bottle of sake and drank it.

"Tch, can't believe I am doing this with a drunkard like you! Can you stop drinking for a few seconds and focus on our task?! We need to find the safe and get the gold!"

A voice of an angry slender man berated the drunkard.

"I get it...get it...get it? Ah! Ya want sum quality booze as well! Ain't that right!"

"Ah just shut the fuck up already and help me find the safe..." The slender man shouted and threw down stacks of papers on the ground.

"It won't take long for people to notice that two of their Jounins are out cold, we need to be fast. Check the shelf and see whether there are any hidden doors in there. Most Kage offices have the same mechanism."

The drunk guy didn't really understand what to do so he grabbed the entire shelf and threw it on the ground.

*Boom*

Hearing the noise, the slender guy looked back at him in horror and grit his teeth.

"You little fucke- hah? What's that?"

Just as he was about to curse his good for nothing partner again, he noticed that behind the fallen shelf, was a lever. He went forward and pulled on the lever, revealing an illuminated path.

"See! I knew you had it in you! We foun-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the drunk guy fell on the floor in pain.

"Ugh...My stomach...hurts...*Blegh*"

And vomited on the ground

"You are...nevermind..."

The slender guy ignored him and entered the hidden room.

Boruto was watching the entirety of it and couldn't help but exclaim, "How stupid..."

He walked towards the drunk guy and noticed that he had fallen asleep on his bile.

"Disgusting." He touched his back and placed a Hiraishin mark on him if he managed to escape by any chance. Anyone marked by this technique is essentially sentenced to death. The mark stays on the target even after its death.

He looked towards the location of the safe room and thought, 'To think that they managed to find the secret room randomly. Truly lucky.'

He followed the guy into the room and noticed that he already cracked the safe open.

'It looks like he is a master lockpicker...Either that or the safe is complete garbage.'

The man inside was getting impatient. He expected profit but all he got were papers.

"What is all of this shit?! Why isn't there even a single ryo?! Hokage can't be this fucking poor...Is their safe with money somewhere else? Must be...what is up with all of these shit papers..." He took out a stack of papers and read through them.

"What?! To think that the war hero has two brats...Didn't he marry that bitch from Hyuuga clan? I wonder if their kids have Byakugan. Eyes cost a lot on the black market. Might have to tell the boss about this."

Just as he packed the documents, he could feel the hair on his neck stand up.

He quickly took a look behind him and noticed a small blonde-haired kid, peering at him from the darkness.

"W-Who are you?! W-What are you doing here?! I am a Jounin, don't you know that kids should be sleeping at this hour?!" In the beginning, he was scared that someone caught him in the act but it turned out it was just some dumb brat.

Boruto ignored him and asked, "You...what did you just say?"

The slender man was getting restless because he wasted too much time here and wanted to leave.

"Piss of dumb brat! Wait...Aren't you the kid on the file? Well, I will be damned! I just hit a jackpot! Say, isn't your lil sis nearby somewhere? You don't have to be scared, I am not a bad guy! My name is Shura." The man slowly stood up and walked towards him without any feeling of danger. His plan was to act as nice as possible so that he would easily catch him. He extended his right hand towards Boruto in the form of a friendly handshake and smiled.

Just as he was a meter away from him, he heard Boruto's voice again.

"What did you say about my mother and sister?!"

At this moment, a blue light pierced through his fingertips, completely obliterating his fingers. He felt a scorching heat existing in his right arm.

He looked at his right hand in shock, but once he took a closer look, he was even more frightened.

"M-My arm...is...gone...AARGH!" Shura screamed in agony as he fell on his knees and held onto what remained of his arm.

He looked up at the little kid which just did him dirty and couldn't help but become frightened. Boruto's blue eyes shone in the darkness, illuminated by the full moon. His expressionless face gave impression that he was used to killing.

'T-This...I-Is the son of a hero? N-No...this is a demon...'

He was so frightened he couldn't bear it.

Boruto released his killing intent, completely suppressing his enemy.

Shura couldn't even lift his finger. He was being crushed by the pressure of this malice. The energy was so dark and disgusting, he was unable to breathe.

"P-Please...have mercy...I-I will do anything! I-I can even give you info on the organization I am working for!!!" The man pleaded yet Boruto didn't listen.

He simply stared down at him and whispered, "The more you beg for your life, the more certain it becomes that you will hurt someone in the future. Just now, you were about to kidnap me and you also wanted to kidnap my sister, right? Many great figures say that people can change. That's right. People can change. I changed. Even if it was for the worse. But you, you are not one of those people." Saying that he aimed his finger towards Shura and coldly said. "Rasenkari"

Those were the last chilling words that were imprinted on his soul before his vision faded and his life was forfeit.

Rasenkari was essentially his new technique. He summons a small Rasengan on his fingertip that could change shape into a chakra laser that has enough power to burst through metal let alone skull.

Looking at the mess he made, Boruto took out a scroll and placed a seal on the headless body of Shura.

He stored the body in the scroll and looked back at the safe.

'Ah come to think of it, my Transformation Jutsu got canceled and I returned back to my original form. Maybe I transformed back because I was angry and couldn't maintain it? Well, who knows, it's not like it matters. He still died.'

He took everything he needed and left the rest behind.

'Just you wait Otsutsuki...With this, we will be able to fight and defeat you'

With that, he packed up and left the secret room. On his way out he woke up the sleeping pig and disappeared from the place.

'Now then, how long will it take till he gets to his home base?'
