Somewhere in an unknown hiding place, Sasuke began to regain consciousness.
"Where am I?"
"You've finally woken up, Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke turned and saw Kashin Koji sitting in a chair.
"You must be Kara's." Sasuke tried to attack Koji, but he couldn't move.
"You were trapped in a tree for over two years; it will take some time to regain full mobility. Besides, I'm not your enemy right now. My name is Kashin Koji, and I trained Boruto in your absence.
"Boruto, where is he?"
"I can't sense his presence, which means he must have transported himself to another dimension Let me explain the whole situation to you, what happened while you were trapped in the Shinju tree." Koji Kashin explained the whole situation, Sasuke didn't hide his surprise at hearing the story.
"I see, so that bastard Kawaki did something like that."
"Your help in fighting Kawaki and his army will certainly be useful, so I want to give you something you lost three years ago."
"This is..."
At the same time, Boruto went to a meeting at the Occult Research Club, where Azazel was already present.
"I'm glad you decided to come, Boruto-kun."
"Hello Uzumaki-kun, nice to meet you. My name is Rias Gremory," the girl with long crimson hair introduced herself.
Rias explained to Boruto about the different factions and the underworld.
"So you say you're devils or demons, and you use chess pieces to turn people into devils, thus adding them to your peerage."
"That's pretty much how it goes. Akeno and Xenovia told me about your abilities, and I'd like you to join us?"
"Sorry to dash your hopes, but I have to decline."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not from here, I have my own world to save, and I can't stay here."
"I understand."
"Hey, but just because I won't join your group doesn't mean we can't be allies."
Rias smiled. "Well, that would be nice."
After the conversation ended, he was forced to go find Sona so she could show him some class, but Tsubaki agreed to do it.
"Tell me, Boruto-kun, do you believe in life after death?"
The blond raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a question. "I don't know, I've never died, so it's hard for me to say." However, I'd like to believe that after death I'll be able to meet my friends and family.
"I understand. We've arrived, your classroom is here"
"Thanks, Tsubaki, I'll manage now"
