And as things developed to this point, no one could be spared. And Naruto even proposed an astonishing idea.
"I want Boruto to go to the battlefield too!"
When Naruto said this in the Hokage's office, everyone was stunned, including Sasuke. Sasuke also didn't quite understand why Naruto would do this. As the Hokage's son and also just a genin, his combat power was not indispensable. And in this situation, if Boruto participated in the war, he would likely be targeted by the enemy. At that ti, they would have to pay an even greater price to save him. It was completely unnecessary.
"Naruto, what are you talking about?" Shikamaru was a little angry at this mont. "Is that sothing a father can say?"
Naruto opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but was directly interrupted by Shikamaru. "Boruto is your son, and even if he has to go to the battlefield, it doesn't have to be him. His identity on the battlefield will instead make him a target!"
"At that ti, we will need to spend a greater price to rescue him!"
"There is absolutely no need for this."
Shikamaru was a little abnormal. Sasuke thought for a mont and probably understood. Protecting Naruto's son from going to the battlefield was equivalent to protecting his own son from going to the battlefield. Shikamaru was probably thinking like that!
Naruto seed to have seen through Shikamaru's thoughts as well. A helpless smile appeared on his face. "Since he is my son, as the Hokage's son, he should set an example."
"To let other Konoha ninja fight and kill on the front lines, while and my son are protected in the back, I can't accept such a thing."
Alright! With Naruto's personality, he indeed wouldn't do such a thing. But the problem was that Boruto was indeed not suitable for the battlefield now!
"So Boruto must go to the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that I can't be deployed at will, I would also hope to go to the very front lines of Konoha. Sasuke, why don't you stay in Konoha to guard, and I'll go to the front lines to help!"
However, this ti, before Shikamaru could speak, Sasuke spoke up. "You are probably the one who should be protected the most, Naruto!"
"Don't forget, our enemies are not just the three great ninja villages, but also the even more terrifying Ōtsutsuki clan!" In Sasuke's eyes, the people of the three great ninja villages were not worth ntioning at all. The only ones who deserved serious treatnt were those few from the Ōtsutsuki clan. Now, the only one who could pose a threat to Sasuke was that Koshiki, whom he had never seen before. Ōtsutsuki Koshiki. Sasuke was very puzzled as to why such an Ōtsutsuki would suddenly appear.
"Sasuke, I can protect myself!" Naruto said stubbornly.
Sasuke looked at him. "Can you really protect yourself? You don't know how many Tailed Beasts are in your body? If any of them are extracted, let's not talk about whether you live or die."
"But the survival of the entire shinobi world!" Even Sasuke was unwilling to see Naruto's Tailed Beasts being extracted and then refined into a Ten-Tails. At that ti, the God Tree would appear again. If those guys obtained the power of the God Tree, then even Sasuke would not want to see that. After all, any increase in the opponent's power was an increase in the threat to Sasuke. Thinking of this, Sasuke was also very helpless.
Koshiki was too mysterious. He didn't even know where this guy ca from. He appeared out of nowhere and inexplicably possessed such terrifying power.
"Sasuke!"
Shikamaru: "Naruto, this is not the ti for you to be emotional!"
Hearing this, Naruto lowered his head helplessly. The thought of so many people dying, for Konoha, for him, made his heart ache greatly. So he still insisted on the last condition. "Then let Boruto go to the battlefield. If he is captured, there is no need to save him. As a ninja of Konoha, he should sacrifice for Konoha."
Hearing this, Shikamaru on the side was stunned. Was Naruto crazy? That was his son!
Sasuke also frowned and looked at Naruto. If it weren't for the fact that he had suddenly beco the Hokage of Konoha and couldn't leave at will, Sasuke would probably be searching all over the mountains and fields for Itachi Uchiha now. And with just a word from Naruto, Boruto would have to go to the battlefield. Similarly, then, the younger generation of ninja like Sarada would also have to go to the battlefield.
"No need to say anymore. Any ninja of Konoha has the duty to defend Konoha. It's normal for them to go to the battlefield!" Naruto made the decision directly, not giving anyone any room to refute.
And at this mont, even if Sasuke wanted to refute, he could only helplessly endure it. There was no other way. If he really were to argue with Naruto, then in this situation, it would only make things worse.
"Alright, this matter is settled." As he spoke, Naruto slowly got up. "I'll go tell Boruto myself!"
After Naruto left, Shikamaru slamd the table fiercely, and Sai on the side also sighed helplessly. Naruto's action made it impossible for any of them to continue to do nothing. Even the Hokage's son was preparing to go to the battlefield. Were their sons going to hide in the back? At that ti, who knew how they would be criticized.
Shikadai, Inojin, Chocho Akimichi, Mitsuki, Boruto, Sarada, tal Lee... these new generation ninja were all about to step onto the battlefield.
Night in Konoha. Shikamaru found his son, Shikadai. Even Temari, who was usually rare to not find fault, had been downcast ever since the Sand Village was wiped out.
"Mom hasn't been in a good mood recently. Dad, you should comfort her when you have ti!"
Hearing this, Shikamaru smiled. "She knows very well. From the mont the Sand Village declared war on Konoha, she already understood that this day would co sooner or later!"
"Although that's what you say, but..."
Shikamaru interrupted him. "I ca to talk to you about sothing else today."
Sothing else. Shikadai looked at his father, thought for a mont, and then looked at his expression. "What? Is it finally our turn, the little brats, to go to the battlefield?"
Hearing this, Shikamaru was slightly taken aback. "How did you know?"
Shikadai sighed. "The entire Konoha, any ninja, has already stepped onto the battlefield, whether it's jōnin, chūnin, or genin. Only us few little guys have not made a move. It's obvious that it's because you are protecting us. But these days, we've also been talked about by a lot of people!"
Hearing this, Shikamaru sighed helplessly. "It's better to be talked about than to die!"
That was true. "But now it seems we can't hold on anymore, right?" Shikadai sighed helplessly.
"Compared to being criticized in the village every day, I also hope to step onto the battlefield, even if I die in battle!"
Shikamaru's movents paused slightly. "Are you really not afraid?"
Shikadai shook his head. "Not afraid. It's just that at that ti, you'll have to think about problems by yourself."
"I am the Hokage's strategist. Do I still need your help?"
Shikadai also curled his lip. "I don't know who cos to consult every ti there's a problem!" Shikamaru scratched his head in embarrassnt. His son was smarter than him. Who else could he ask if not Shikadai?
