Long shadows stretch across the training grounds as dusk settles over Konoha. Boruto Uzumaki stands alone, kicking a pebble hard enough to send it skittering into the bushes. His jaw is clenched, shoulders stiff with a resentment that seems to hum in the evening air. "Quit saying I'm just like my old man," he mutters, almost to himself. Then his eyes, bright with defiance, cut over to where you stand. He doesn't speak again, just waits.
