Naruto: Check out these scenes!

"I will never admit to such a thing!!"

Merz, a being who had always considered himself a god, felt his facade shatter at that moment. Rage enveloped him as he controlled Susanoo to raise the long sword high, forming seals with both hands. A massive surge of chakra swirled around the blade, making it appear thicker and more menacing than ever before.

"I refuse to acknowledge this!!!"

In his fury, Merz let out a hysterical roar, swinging the long sword with all his might toward Naruto and the others.

Watching the terrifying aura radiating from the weapon, Naruto's instincts kicked in. He knew that if it struck the ground, it wouldn't just split the earth—it would devastate the entire ecosystem for miles.

"We can still draw on our chakra, Kurama!"

"Who do you think I am?!"

"Ahhhhh!!!" [both shouted]

In a moment of desperation, Naruto brought his hands together, channeling his remaining chakra by merging it with the Nine-Tails within him, unleashing a final surge of energy.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light erupted as a massive golden fox emerged from the ground, standing defiantly against the approaching sword.

BOOM!

The Jinchuriki, Kurama, braced itself against the forceful impact, its paws digging into the ground as it struggled to maintain its stance. The sheer might of Merz's attack pressed the mighty fox down, but Kurama held firm, ensuring that the earth remained intact and unharmed.

The sword pierced towards him, but Kurama's claws locked onto the blade, halting Merz's momentum.

"Sasuke!"

"I've got this!"

Sasuke, already drained from previous battles, launched a pitch-black Amaterasu arrow directly at Merz. Caught off-guard, Merz had no time to deflect, and the arrow struck hard. The explosion shattered Susanoo's defenses, splintering the shell that protected Meru.

"Now! It's your turn, Boruto!"

With their chakra spent, both Naruto and Sasuke placed their hopes in Boruto, who still brimmed with energy.

Boruto concentrated, gathering all his chakra into his hand until a dazzling Rasengan formed, radiating immense power. "This era is built by us, the people!"

With a springing leap from Naruto's shadow clone, Boruto hurled himself toward Merz, shouting, "We don't need a self-proclaimed god! Rasengan!!!"

The brilliant blue sphere struck Merz's chest, the spin causing it to tear into his very being.

Merz's eyes widened in disbelief, his voice a mixture of rage and despair. "Why? Why am I losing to a brat like you?!"

"Don't underestimate us!" Boruto cried out, pushing the chakra harder as the Rasengan grew in power, consuming Merz's form.

The spiraling vortex fully engulfed Susanoo, tearing it apart bit by bit until it vanished into thin air.

In the end, Merz collapsed, headfirst onto the emblem of the Zero Organization, having lost everything.

[Senju Hashirama: Well said, Boruto. "Don't underestimate us ninja!" That line was truly inspiring.]

[Senju Tobirama: Uzumaki Boruto, you've inherited the will of fire splendidly.]

[Uzumaki Boruto: Thank you for the honor, former Hokages.]

[Uchiha Sarada: Not bad, Boruto. You actually got praise from the previous Hokages... Wait, what's wrong? You look worried.]

[Uzumaki Boruto: I can't shake the feeling. I acknowledged Nanashi as a friend, yet I don't have any memory of her.]

[Namikaze Minato: Perhaps this timeline is a parallel world, different from ours.]

[Uzumaki Boruto: Grandpa, I don't know. Every time I see Nanashi, there's this familiar sadness, like I know her past...

[Uchiha Sarada: Perhaps you've fallen for her!?]

[Uzumaki Boruto: How could that be? This is our first meeting! I empathize with her struggles, but that doesn't mean I like her. I'm not the type to fall for every girl I meet.]

[Kushina: You're right, Boruto... Don't be like Jiraiya-sensei...]

[Jiraiya: I'm very loyal! Please don't slander me, Kushina...]

[Kushina: Really? Every time you return to the village, you're found lounging in various hot springs...]

[Jiraiya: Well... collecting materials for my writing is also very important... ah!!]

[Tsunade: Jiraiya, you scoundrel! Be careful—Himawari is here! If you lead her astray, you'll learn just how deep my wrath can run.]

[Jiraiya: I'm sorry!]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Speaking of which, Sasuke, you fit the bill of a scumbag who falls for every girl you meet.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Don't insult me, loser.]

[Uzumaki Naruto: I can't remember clearly, but I feel like I've seen you express interest in every woman you've met...]

[Uchiha Sasuke: You must've misunderstood.]

[Uchiha Sakura: After hearing Naruto, I kind of have that impression too.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: ?(°?°)? How is that possible? Sakura, you know me better than that!]

[Uchiha Sakura: Of course, and that's why it feels so out of character. In that hazy memory, you were flirting with girls everywhere, even leading a group of them out late at night.]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Sasuke, I didn't you know had it in you...]

[Uchiha Mikoto: How could my good child...]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Mom, Dad, I promise I wasn't like that!]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Seriously, right? In those impressions, Shikamaru was a fool, Choji was dashing, and Hinata was a real firecracker.]

[Uzumaki Hinata: Huh? Why would I be like that?]

[Uzumaki Boruto: A mother who's grumpy? That's hard to picture.]

[Uzumaki Sunflower: Mom has always been so gentle.]

[Uzumaki Boruto: True, but she can be terrifying when angry.]

"Young lord!"

Suddenly, Katasuke's voice pierced through the noise, and everyone turned to see him, eyes full of concern.

"Could it be...?"

Realizing something was wrong, Boruto sprinted to Nanashi side.

He found her barely breathing, her face pale—a ghost of her former self. If not for the slight rise and fall of her chest, he would think she was lost.

"Nanashi..."

Boruto knelt beside her, calling her name softly, but she didn't respond.

"Boruto..."

"Nanashi? You're awake! I'm here; I'll get you to the hospital right away!"

Hearing her voice brought him immense relief, and he prepared to lift her, ready to rush to Konoha's hospital.

But she shook her head weakly. "No, it's okay… I know my body… best… It's too late for me now."
