Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 148 Leaving Mount Myōboku

After failing to perform the Two Lives Technique with Fukasaku, Fukasaku learned about Boruto's chakra nature in the following days.

Fukasaku then decided to entrust Boruto to Shima for guidance, teaching him how to use Sage Chakra to perform ninjutsu.

So, in the early morning hours, Boruto turned to Shima and began learning a completely new Sage Mode.

As night fell, Boruto continued his daily training routine, practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique as usual.

Under the moonlight, Boruto practiced throwing Flying Thunder God kunai day after day, using the Flying Thunder God mark on the kunai to teleport quickly. He worked hard to improve his speed and accuracy in order to reach a higher level in his Flying Thunder God technique.

......

Until one quiet night, while the toads of Mount Myōboku were fast asleep, Boruto made significant progress in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When he uses the Flying Thunder God Technique, the distance he can teleport has increased significantly, and his movements are smoother and more fluid than before.

Boruto held a shuriken, channeling the ever-flowing chakra within his body, and then inscribed the special mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique on the surface of the shuriken.

Boruto gripped his shuriken tightly and then threw it forcefully into the distance. The shuriken sliced ​​through the air with a whistling sound.

Immediately afterwards, Boruto focused his mind on sensing the fluctuations of the Flying Thunder God mark on the shuriken, then raised his hand, making a sword-finger gesture, preparing to unleash the Flying Thunder God technique.

After accurately sensing the exact location of the mark, Boruto quickly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his figure became blurred.

Almost at the same moment, Boruto disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in another location in an instant, clutching the shuriken he had thrown earlier.

......

After several days of practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Boruto decided to further increase the intensity of his training. He immediately threw out a shuriken with the Flying Thunder God mark, then quickly formed hand seals and whispered, "Shuriken: Shadow Clone Technique!"

As Boruto's technique was activated, the single shuriken rapidly split in mid-air, transforming into twenty shadow clones of shuriken.

While the shuriken were still flying through the air, Boruto instantly used the Flying Thunder God Technique. His figure quickly weaved among the numerous shuriken, trying to catch them as much as possible before they fell to the ground.

A moment later, Boruto appeared in the distance, still holding a shuriken tightly in his hand. This time, he successfully caught more than half of the shuriken shadow clones. Compared to his previous attempts, his performance showed significant improvement.

If Boruto activates Sage Mode, he is confident that he can catch all these shuriken and even have the strength to deal with more.

However, using the Flying Thunder God Technique so frequently and at such a high intensity consumes a significant amount of chakra.

After Boruto finished practicing, he casually tossed the shuriken in his hand to the ground. The shuriken immediately turned into a puff of smoke and gradually dissipated into the surrounding air.

......

At that moment, Boruto seemed to sense something. He turned around and, sure enough, saw Fukasaku's figure appear not far away.

Fukasaku approached Boruto and said admiringly, "Judging from your appearance, your training these days seems to have yielded very good results."

Boruto scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and replied, "Grandpa Sage, you already know."

Fukasaku the Immortal laughed and scolded, "Hahaha, you've been doing this all this time. I am an immortal, after all. If I hadn't noticed it even once, then I would have been wasting my eyes."

Fukasaku then spoke up and asked Boruto, "The ninjutsu you just used, is it the method you mentioned before that can replace the Two Lives Technique to restore Sage Chakra?"

To this, Boruto answered affirmatively, "Yes, Grandpa Sage."

"It's really quite good. This ninjutsu can be used for both offense and defense." Fukasaku then changed the subject: "Boruto, you should have mastered the ninjutsu you learned from your wife by now, right?"

At this moment, Boruto understood the unspoken meaning in the old man's words. Yes, he had been staying at Mount Myōboku for quite some time.

In addition to serving as the Great Toad Sage's protector at Mount Myōboku, Fukasaku was also primarily responsible for selecting and guiding the ninjas who came to Mount Myōboku for trials.

Among the many ninjas who came to Mount Myōboku for trials, Fukasaku discovered that Boruto was the most hardworking, even more so than Jiraiya.

Moreover, Boruto is also deeply loved by his mother, who, who is only interested in cooking, shares all her knowledge with him and gives him full guidance.

Fukasaku continued, "Unfortunately, the illusions at Mount Myōboku are mainly sound-based, which is not suitable for you to learn."

Boruto waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Sage, you have taught me so much, I will never forget it in this lifetime."

With a smile, the sage Fukasaku gently shook his head, indicating that Boruto had mastered all the skills taught at Mount Myōboku and it was time for him to leave Mount Myōboku and continue his journey.

......

After a period of preparation and communication, Fukasaku Sage has learned Jiraiya's exact location through the communication frog. He is preparing to use the Reverse Summoning Technique to teleport Boruto back to where Jiraiya is.

Fukasaku continued, "Later I will confirm your location through the contact frog, and then have it perform a reverse summoning technique at the designated time to teleport you to the place where Jiraiya is currently staying."

Boruto nodded, indicating that he understood: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Sage."

Fukasaku reminded Boruto again: "There is one more thing. You must remember the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and make full preparations for it."

As Boruto was about to leave Mount Myōboku, Master Shima seemed somewhat reluctant to part with him. She turned around and went straight into the wooden house.

A moment later, Shima took out a bento box that she had wrapped in a large lotus leaf early that morning, handed it to Boruto, and told him that once he left Mount Myōboku, it would be difficult to taste such delicious food again.

Boruto found it hard to refuse the kindness of the sage grandmother, so he thanked her repeatedly, accepted the bento, and said a brief goodbye to the two sages before preparing to leave Mount Myōboku.

After a short wait, Boruto used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to teleport to the frog, and the scene before him changed rapidly.
