Three years later...

Three years had passed since Boruto defeated the Otsutsuki God, and the world had been peaceful since then. Now nineteen, Boruto returned to the village

"It's good to be home" the blonde thought as he walked through the village

"Yo Boruto"

Hearing a familiar voice, Boruto turned around and saw his friends "Shikadai, Inojin"

The three friends went to their favorite restaurant

"What is Kawaki really dating Sumire?" Boruto was surprised to hear this news

"We couldn't believe it either" Inojin said

"I see that a lot has changed in my absence"

After talking and eating, Boruto returned to his new apartment, where Sarada was already waiting for him

"What took you so long?" she asked, approaching her boyfriend

Boruto smiled and gave Sarada a quick kiss in response "I'm glad to see you, too Besides, I met Inojin and Shikadai and we talked a bit"

"Actually, Boruto, tomorrow Nadaime is taking me to a meeting of the five kage"

"Really? Why does my father want you to go with him?"

"Because it will prepare me to become Hokage in the future. I want you to come with us"

"I have to?" Boruto didn't like this idea very much, after all, he had just returned to the village and tomorrow he was supposed to set off on another journey

"Yes, you promised me that when I become Hokage, you will protect me. This will also be your responsibility"

Boruto, after Sarada's persuasion, finally agreed to go with them

Next day...

Naruto was waiting outside the village gate for Sarada, the Hokage was surprised to see her walking with his son

"Boruto, what are you doing here?"

"I asked him to come with us" Sarada replied

"I see, if you're ready, let's go"

Naruto, Boruto and Sarada went to Suna Gakure where this time the Five Kage Summit was to be held, when they arrived they met the Kazekage, Tsuchikage and Mizukage, soon the Raikage also joined

"Hello Hokage, I didn't expect you to take your son with you" Kurotsuchi said

"Well, Sarada asked him to do it"

"Three years have passed since Otsutsuki's last attack, since Shibai was defeated, and there is peace again in the elemental nations. During this time, we managed to improve the village's defense system in case of another Otsutsuki attack" said Naruto

"Really?" said the Mizukage

"We used scientific ninja tools to create a barrier that absorbed all ninjutsu attacks, thanks to which we can be prepared for another Otsutsuki attack"

"Amazing" Gaara commented

"This will certainly come in handy for us" added Darui

Naruto presented the project to the other Kage, who were delighted with the idea. When the meeting ended, everyone returned to the hotel, Boruto and Sarada were given a separate one at their request

"I already know that I won't like such meetings" said Boruto, throwing himself on the bed

"Come on, it wasn't that bad, at least it was a short meeting" Sarada lay down next to her boyfriend, resting her head on his chest

"You're right, it could be worse dattebasa"
