Toneri and some Otsutsuki woman were observing the events on the ground

"Do you think it's time?" asked the woman

"Yes, Boruto needs to get rid of Momoshiki if he wants to unleash his full potential" Toneri said

[Retrospection]

Two years earlier...

"You're getting better at using Jougan" Toneri praised

"Thanks"

"Listen Boruto, you have so much potential, but you can't unlock it right now"

"What, why?" the genin asked, tilting his head to the side

"Because Momoshiki is blocking it"

"Huh?"

"Momoshiki has no intention of allowing you to unlock your dormant potential unless it is after Momoshiki takes over your body"

"So in order to unlock my potential, I must first get rid of Momoshiki's soul?"

"Exactly, but you're still not ready to fight him. You have to become stronger"

[End Flashback]

"As for Boruto's sister, Himawari also has potential, maybe we should train her too?"

"I was thinking about that too, to help her develop the Byakugan"

Meanwhile, Sasuke and the new team seven left the town

"Okay Boruto, I think it's time for each of us to go our separate ways"

"What do you mean, sensei?"

"You have become strong enough to continue traveling on your own. Meanwhile, I will look for Kara's remaining hiding places"

"I see"

Sasuke didn't say anything anymore, he just went on his journey, Boruto turned to Sarada and Mitsuki

"I think you should also go back to the village"

"Actually, it's getting dark, I think we should get some sleep and leave first thing in the morning" Sarada suggested

"Okay, see you then" Boruto was also about to set off on a journey

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm setting off on my journey"

Before Boruto was about to leave, Sarada grabbed his coat "Stay with us, at least until tomorrow, please"

Boruto looked at Sarada for a moment and then sighed "Fine, but only until morning"

Mitsuki went to get wood to make a fire, while Boruto and Sarada set up their tents

"Tell me, Boruto, what were you doing while you left the village?" Sarada asked curiously

"A lot of things, but mainly training with your father"

"Maybe more details?"

"Hey, I managed to get some wood" Sarada use one of her fire jutsu

"All right. Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" Sarada lit a fire with her technique

Team seven was back together, sitting around and telling stories about what they had been doing over the past three years
