The road Boruto takes to becoming a great shinobi. To surpass his father and master, and to make good of his promise to a certain ravenette. Takes place after Chapter 16 of the Boruto Manga. The anime up until episode 25 is canon. These characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I'm just writing for the fun of it.

"I want to see if he's anything like me."

"Finish... it..." he gasped. "Don't act brave. You're terrified. Is this truly the first time you've stared death in the face?" Boruto elected not to answer, but that was answer enough. "I won't kill you." "W-why?" Boruto managed to get out. Ansei stood and started walking away. "Why?" Boruto called weakly, but a little louder. Ansei stopped for a moment, bowing his head. "Because you can stop me..." and with that, he disappeared into the village. After a heated argument with his father, Boruto decides that he and Himawari are better off not living in Konoha. Sarada decides to tag along in their doomed attempt to run away to make sure they don't get themselves killed. After only a day out of the village, Boruto realizes his mistake and decides to head back. Upon returning home, however, they find themselves in a village untouched by Pain's attack; a village with an Uchiha as Hokage and the Hyuuga Clan are threatening civil war at every turn; a village that is far more dangerous than their own. In that village is another child named Ansei; who has been living as the Hyuuga's lap dog since his first birthday. Full of anger, Ansei is a force to be feared and respected... When Boruto meets his otherworldly sibling, it becomes a race to get his family home and away from this world that seems hellbent on getting rid of the children that shouldn't exist in it.
