Megalomaniac

Prologue (Rewritten)

Boruto's POV

"Oh yeah!" I yelled midair as I was jumping from roof to roof.

"Wait up Boruto," I heard my friend, Shikadai, call from behind.

"If you were as fast as me, we wouldn't have this problem." I chided, jumping higher.

I chuckled as I could hear him mumble to himself before I looked down in the aisle of shops below. 'Now where could it be.' I thought to myself. Around the area should be the place where Thunderburger should be selling their new Spicy Burger.

"There it is!" I shouted once I found the Thunderburger and soon landed in front of the entrance, Shikadai landing behind as well.

"Are you sure it's good?" Shikadai questioned.

"Of course, why wouldn't go through this much trouble for a crappy burger." I retorted.

I heard him mumble, 'Fair enough.', and then entered the building. We both ordered the new meal and jumped our way back only to find ourselves resting on top of a moving train. It was nice, feeling the wind in your hair. Feeling the wind cool my skin and clear off the sweat.

Looking at Shikadai, I raised my burger to raise a toast and opened the paper cover, covering the burger. "You ready for this?". Shikadai looked at me and raised his burger and on the count of three, we both took a bite and gulped.

"Spicy!" we both yelled. We both grabbed our drinks and quickly gulped their sugary content. I gasped for air once I finished my drink.

"Was it *cough* worth it?" I heard Shikadai mumble.

"I would like to say, yes." I cringed when Shikadai glared at me.

"What a drag." Shikadai cursed before looking somewhere else.

"Well that was fun, but shouldn't you be heading home?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah, thanks for the reminder." Shikadai croaked before heading his way to the edge.

"Also, don't get in trouble," Shikadai advised before jumping off.

I sat down by myself and began to wonder to myself. "Don't forget about the academy starting tomorrow,". I looked back and a smile urged its way to my lips as I couldn't forget the most exciting thing to happen tomorrow.

All the new and old people I get to meet, and possibly be great friends. To be able to learn cool jutsu, so I can one-up my dad. The thought of dad put a frown on my face, especially that he hasn't been home in a long, long time.

*crash*

I brought my head up from the sudden noise. I stood up and began to look around as a group of kids brought my attention. The group of kids was circling this one kid and suddenly pushed him into an alleyway.

"Hm, totally not friendly," I thought to myself, grabbing my drink and jumped off.

A few more jumps and I was above the group of kids. Looking in the alley, I could see the lone kid being shoved to a wall. If I wanted to know what was going on I had to get in closer to hear.

"Alright, here's the deal. You are going to give us your money or we'll beat it out of you" the kid in front threatened, cracking his knuckles while his friends laugh behind.

'Ok, then.' I thought as I began to plan what to do the help this kid. A few seconds later a plan did arrive.

The front kid then stalked toward the lone kid and was about to throw a punch, until some cold soda splashed across his back and head.
