The sun rose waking all the inhabitants, Boruto came downstairs yawning and stretching his arms.
-Good morning Kaa-san. - The blonde saw his mother looking at some paper. - What happened?
-We are running out of savings, if we do not do anything, they will probably throw us out of this apartment. - The woman said and she began to cough up blood
Boruto walked over to her and helped her sit on the couch
"You shouldn't be nervous Kaa-san, you have to take care of yourself.
-You're lovely, but I have to somehow get the money to keep us.
-Don't worry about that, I'll come up with something for now.
-All right.
Boruto went outside and, walking around the village, began to think about getting money. -I need to get a lot of money in no time, but how?
-Boruto-kun !.
Hearing a familiar voice, the blonde turned and saw a girl his age (she had long red hair, dressed in a light shirt and a blue dress)
-Naori hi.
-What happened, did you look so glum somehow?
-You know, I'm looking for a job to help my mother and lighten her up a bit.
-I understand how she's doing?
-It gets worse, but she does everything not to show it, but I can see how much energy it costs her.
-You know, I heard that there is a shinobi tournament, the prize is three hundred thousand ryo.
-Really, great where is he?
-In the village of Tanzaku, however, to participate in it, you must belong to one of the great villages.
"I understand, the nearest village is Konoha, then I need to go there and talk to the village leader."
Boruto and Naori went to his apartment, it turned out that his mother was asleep, so the blonde took the opportunity to go to the room and began to pack the most necessary things.
-Naori, I want you to come and help my mother from time to time during my absence.
-Sure, he can count on me. Good luck!
-Thank you
After saying goodbye, Boruto left the house and then the village and set off for Konoha. The journey took about three hours, when the teenager reached the village, it felt strangely familiar to him.
-This place looks weirdly familiar?
As he walked, the blonde admired Konoha, which had changed a lot over these fifty years, and soon he reached the Hokage building, after knocking on the door and receiving an invitation, he entered.
Behind the desk sat a young man with black hair and equally black eyes.
-Hello how can I help?
-I heard that there is a shinobi tournament organized, so I would like to take part in it as a Konoha shinobi.
-I'm sorry, but you don't belong to our village, I can't do that.
-Please, then let me be a Konoha shinobi, I really care about this tournament.
The Hokage stared at the teenager, noting that he was dead serious.
-You know, to become a genin, you'd have to graduate ...
-I see...
-But I think you can speed up the process a bit.
-Really?
The Hokage just nodded with a smile
