After playing Mizuki, Boruto went on to take roles as over a dozen minor ninja.
Of course, he also portrayed three major figures — Might Guy, Uchiha Itachi (Akatsuki), and Uchiha Madara (the founder of Konoha).
But after performing as Madara, something shocking happened — he actually gained the Rinnegan Dōjutsu, and even the ability known as Limbo.
Now, after stacking Uchiha Madara's power, Boruto's strength had skyrocketed. His chakra reserves and eye power both reached completely new heights.
Inside the Kamui Dimension, Boruto stood silently. A serene, divine aura radiated from his body.
At that moment, his golden hair gradually turned silver-white, and nine black spheres floated behind him — not just ordinary orbs, but true Truth-Seeking Balls.
Boruto studied his form and thought, "With my current strength… I should be able to defeat Dad now, right?"
But deep down, he knew it wasn't that simple.
Even without Six Paths Sage Mode or Truth-Seeking Balls, Naruto was still ridiculously strong.
After all, anyone who could fight Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was definitely at a Six Paths level.
Boruto remembered the final battle — Naruto taking Toneri's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion head-on and still punching back hard enough to shatter the attack.
That power was probably even stronger than Might Guy's Night Guy.
Shaking his head, Boruto sighed.
"No point overthinking it. It's time to focus on something else — like taking Sasuke's Rinnegan."
With that, his hair returned to its usual golden color.
Inside a secret base in the Land of Fire, Boruto was staring at a bowl of blackened soil.
"Kabuto, you're telling me this dirt is Kisame?" he asked incredulously.
Kabuto nodded. "Yes. Remember, Kisame was devoured by the sharks he summoned himself. This soil contains traces of his blood that mixed into the mud at that time."
He adjusted his glasses. "Over a decade has passed, so there's no genetic material left for cloning. But for Edo Tensei—it'll work just fine."
Boruto smirked. "Then use a White Zetsu body as the sacrifice. The ones cultivated by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path should be perfect."
Then he teased, "Kabuto, you've really become a pro at finding corpses these days."
Kabuto chuckled lightly. "Years of experience. I've handled more remains than I'd like to admit."
Boruto suddenly remembered something. "By the way, how did you even find Konan's body?"
Kabuto paused before replying, "Obito gave it to me during the Fourth Great Ninja War. But before I could use Edo Tensei on her… well, certain events happened."
Boruto nodded. "Makes sense."
"Edo Tensei!" Kabuto's hands clapped together.
Moments later, figures began materializing one after another —
Konan, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, and more.
Kisame's eyes flickered open first. "Didn't I get eaten by my own sharks?"
Sasori frowned. "Again with Edo Tensei…"
Deidara glared at Kabuto. "You again? What are you planning this time? Another Great Ninja War?"
His tone grew sharp. "I don't care what you're doing — but I want to know how Sasuke survived my ultimate art!"
Beside them, Hidan awoke with a confused expression. "Huh? What's going on? Why are all of you here? Kakuzu, did you rescue me or something?"
Kakuzu gave him a flat look. "So you actually died. Guess you're not as immortal as you thought."
Hidan scratched his head. "What? Impossible. Lord Jashin protects me! Wait... right, I got buried alive by that Konoha punk…"
He trailed off, realizing how long it must've been.
Then Deidara turned his eyes toward Boruto, who wore a three-eyed fox mask. "A mask? You're not Tobi, are you?"
Boruto shook his head calmly. "Tobi's dead."
"Then who the hell are you?" Deidara demanded.
"My name is Uchiha Menma," Boruto replied with a slight smile.
"Uchiha? No way. The whole clan's gone except for Itachi and Sasuke. Are you Sasuke?"
Deidara's voice grew more agitated. "Since I didn't blow you up last time, I'll finish the job now!"
But before he could move, Boruto simply raised a finger.
"Shhh."
In an instant, Deidara froze—completely immobilized.
"Forget about dying together," Boruto said coldly. "Right now, you can't even touch one of Sasuke's fingers."
Deidara gritted his teeth, unable to move. "Damn Uchiha…"
Sasori finally spoke. "You've resurrected us again. For what purpose? Another war?"
Boruto shook his head. "No. I want you all to capture Sasuke alive."
The entire room went silent.
"So… you're not Sasuke?" Deidara muttered, genuinely shocked.
Boruto nodded. "Enough talking. Let's discuss how we're going to capture him."
Soon after, everyone gathered in a large conference hall.
Kisame smirked at Itachi. "Didn't expect to see you again, Itachi-san."
Itachi gave a faint nod. "Kisame."
Konan turned toward Nagato and Jiraiya. "Nagato… sensei… you're both here too."
Hearing her voice, Nagato and Jiraiya looked at her emotionally. "Konan…"
Meanwhile, Kakuzu stared at one of the figures in disbelief. "You're… the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju—the God of Shinobi!"
Hashirama scratched his head. "Oh? You know me?"
Hidan blinked. "So this is the guy you always talked about, Kakuzu? The one who kicked your ass? Doesn't seem to remember you though."
Kakuzu shot him a murderous glare. "Shut up, Hidan, or I'll kill you again."
Hidan shrugged. "We're already dead, though."
Kakuzu's thoughts darkened. The village sent me to assassinate him… but all I fought was a Wood Clone. I should've died that day…
Boruto sat at the head of the table, looking over everyone.
"Next," he announced, his tone commanding, "I declare the start of Operation: Capture Sasuke Alive. Everyone will participate."
Mikoto hesitated. "Do Fugaku, Itachi, and I really have to join too?"
Boruto looked at her seriously. "I said — everyone."
Kisame chuckled lowly. "So many monsters just to catch Itachi-san's little brother. That's some serious overkill."
