The ruins of Uzu.

They got to Uzu faster thanks to Boruto's portal. That city was totally awake because the Uzumaki clan moved away from there a long time ago. Now they lived in various places in the country of fire. It was night when they began to search the place for the sacred altar. They were aware that it would not be visible to everyone due to the nature of the place. The cold reigned in the place and as much as they searched they did not find it. At least not to the naked eye.

The Nibi was looking for that peculiar sacred altar with his chakra through Boruto while Shinki was exploring the place in detail. Thus he discovered the reason why the Uzumaki clan abandoned that city. The presence of the sacred altar was immersing their clan members in absolute darkness. Many fell prisoners of that supernatural chakra becoming sinister and animalistic. Shinki put down the scrolls feeling that they were suddenly surrounded. The Nibi had just found the sacred altar when he felt the multiple dark presences.

"Hey galan we are surrounded and they are not common enemies. really beautiful?

And what are they supposed to be.

Zombie.

"Like? Zombies? I'm not even into games, beautiful.

This is not a gallant game, they are zombies and they are very dangerous.

Boruto! Watch out! Shinki used his iron sand to protect him from the sudden attack of one of his enemies.

Back to back Boruto and Shinki protected themselves by looking at their enemies.

They were indeed surrounded.

The techniques of those zombie Uzumakis were very dangerous, but Boruto used the power of the bijuu to attack and counter attacks.

Shinki did the same with his iron sand. The fight began wreaking havoc on the ruins of Uzu but they eliminated the spell that the sacred altar had cast on them, freeing them instantly. They were very powerful royal sorcerers. They fell unconscious but their minds and bodies finally returned to normal.

At that moment some black chains appeared out of nowhere and wrapped Boruto who felt how the darkness took over his mind and will but his bijuu gave him strength to disintegrate that spell.

However, the chains held him tighter, dragging him to the heart of the sacred altar. Boruto tried to grab onto something as he felt like he was irreversibly dragged.

Shinki grabbed him tightly using the iron sand from him to form a giant hand to hold on to one of the towers in place.

Boruto held on to Shinki as much as possible while he cried out of despair.

Shinki for god's sake! Help me! It's dragging me

Shinki hugged him tightly since he didn't plan on losing him. The hurricane wind surrounds only the two of them.

"Boruto! I will never leave you! I will never let you go! Shinki...this thing catches the Uzumakis...lives off them...! Help me!

Shinki closed his eyes looking for the sacred altar with his chakra, so he knew that by losing all the Uzumakis under his control, his power was diminishing until he finally disintegrated. "Boruto will never let you go, I love you too much to resign myself to losing you.

Shinki...Shinki for god's sake...

I will you save my life. The black-haired subject him with greater force! Leave him alone! Don't take it away from me!

What did you come for? A metallic and serious voice coming from the sacred altar, was noted in the place.

"We want you to bring someone from the other world. Shinki said. Himawari Uzumaki Uchiha.

"Why would I do something like that when you guys destroyed my power supply?

Please we ask you.

I will only do it if you give me Boruto Uzumaki in return.

Nope! I will never do such a thing!

Shinki... oh my god...

So no deal boy.

Shinki hugged Boruto with all his might, feeling that his soul would be torn apart if he lost it. He now he understood, at last he could understand the feelings of his golden beloved by sending him back home.

Forgive me my life, I was so unfair to you when you only saved my life. Now we will return home together because I will never let you go. Never. Shinki.

Don't cry my life, I'm with you.

Boruto calmed down and the chains released him. The wind disappeared too. Both were free, the iron sand hand disintegrated. In those moments the sacred altar appeared in front of both of them. It was shaped like a triumphal arch inside which was a light gray mist. Said arch was made of white marble with various drawings around it.

"You guys passed the test, you both did. The Uzumakis I captured didn't. Boruto is lucky to be loved by someone with a noble heart. Take good care of him."

Himawari appeared from inside the arch, she had the same appearance as Boruto when he turned into a girl. The sacred altar evaporated, disappearing from the ruins of Uzu and from this world as a whole. Himawari was looking at them with a cheerful smile on her face.

"Shinki, thank goodness you reconsidered.

You had to come close to losing him to realize his love for you.

You're extremely stubborn. The aforementioned blushed to the ears looking the other way.

"Brother, you are finally happy.

Sister.

Boruto started to cry

Oh my god brother, you always cry.

Boruto threw himself at her hugging her intensely. Both siblings were together at last.

Hima he is Shinki my... my great love.

Shinki this is my sister Hima.

Hello

Hello

They both shook hands smiling. Boruto opened the portal and the three disappeared from the place to finally return home.
