Chapter 257 The Battle for Hokage!?
On the winding path leading to the camp, several enormous beasts suddenly burst out of the dense forest, roaring as they approached Boruto and his companions.
They opened their gaping maws, revealing sharp fangs, and were about to launch a menacing attack, but were quickly stopped by Killer Bee.
Motoi said to Boruto and Naruto, "Killer Bee is the true king of beasts on this island. He tamed all the ferocious beasts on the island all by himself."
"Whether it's a gigantic beast or a ferocious predator, as long as Killer Bee is by your side, you don't have to worry about any potential dangers on this island."
Boruto nodded thoughtfully, recalling that when he first stepped onto the island, he noticed several enormous beasts lurking around him, their bodies no less massive than those of the tailed beasts.
Furthermore, Boruto also noticed that the island was surrounded by an invisible barrier.
Any outsiders attempting to approach will be immediately detected, thus ensuring the island's safety.
This island was established specifically as a training ground to control the Eight-Tails, which is why the Fourth Raikage decided to send Naruto and the others here for training.
Soon after, Boruto, led by Motoi and Killer Bee, passed through a dense jungle and arrived at a strangely shaped building.
This building was built based on the Eight-Tailed Gyūki.
When they arrived at the second floor of the residence, Motoi suddenly stopped and turned around to face Boruto and Naruto.
"The two from Konoha will stay on this floor. There are several rooms available, and you can choose whichever suits your preference."
"As for where to eat, it's in the large cafeteria on the first floor. You can use it anytime. We will be having a meeting tomorrow morning at seven o'clock. Please be on time. Okay, dismissed."
After Motoi succinctly and clearly explained everything, he signaled that they were free to move around.
As soon as they finished speaking, Motoi and Kirabi turned and left, their figures quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
......
Naruto spent two long hours alone in the room. At this moment, the clock had just struck noon, and there were still several hours until tomorrow morning.
His intense anxiety made him unable to endure the idle waiting any longer.
So he suddenly stood up, rushed out of the room, and headed straight for Boruto's place.
"Boruto!" Naruto shouted as he pushed open the door. "Let's go find the guy in sunglasses and start our training now!"
Seeing Naruto's eagerness, Boruto smiled helplessly and replied, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. Uncle Bee has already agreed to guide you, so we have plenty of time. There's no need to rush."
Naruto replied eagerly, "But I can't wait any longer."
This was not only because of the tailed beast inside him, but also because he finally had a perfect opportunity to improve his strength, and he absolutely did not want to miss it.
Naruto knew that such an opportunity was hard-won, and he had to go all out and seize every moment to improve himself.
Seeing that Boruto remained unmoved, Naruto grew even more anxious and blurted out, "What if you become Hokage before me...?"
As soon as he said it, Naruto immediately covered his mouth.
It's no wonder he thinks that way. After all, Boruto's prestige in the village is already several levels higher than his own. If he can't even catch up in strength, his dream of becoming Hokage will probably be even more out of reach.
"?" Boruto was stunned when he heard Naruto's words.
He had never imagined such a thing before and was momentarily at a loss for words. After a long while, he stammered, "Well...it seems pretty good..."
"Huh!!!??" Naruto was shocked and panicked when he heard Boruto's answer.
Boruto really is trying to compete with me for the Hokage position! Various thoughts flashed through Naruto's mind in an instant.
At that moment, Boruto was oblivious to Naruto's flustered expression, completely absorbed in his own thoughts: if he could really become Hokage before his father, perhaps his father would have had time to spend with him during his childhood...?
...? Boruto suddenly realized that his thoughts were becoming increasingly strange, and quickly shook his head, trying to put this absurd and anti-heavenly idea out of his mind.
In the end, Boruto couldn't resist Naruto's insistence and had no choice but to go with him to find Killer Bee.
However, when they arrived at Killer Bee's room, they found it empty; Killer Bee was not there.
Left with no other option, they turned to Motoi's room.
Upon hearing Naruto's request, Motoi sighed helplessly and said, "What bad luck. Killer Bee just went out to play with the wild beasts. It looks like he won't be back anytime soon."
"How could this be..." Upon hearing this news, Naruto deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming utterly dejected.
He was full of anticipation, hoping to start his cultivation immediately, but he never expected to encounter such an unexpected situation.
Motoi looked at the impatient guy in front of him, scratched his head helplessly, sighed and said, "There's really no other way, then you'll have to come with me."
