The stadium’s roar bled away into a stunned hush. Boruto stood there, chest heaving, the weight of his father’s judgment pressing down on him like a physical blow. Then, without warning, the sky convulsed—ripping open into a void of chilling darkness. An alien, crushing chakra flooded the arena as Momoshiki and Kinshiki descended, their divine forms blotting out the sun. The Five Kage tensed, weapons gleaming in the sudden gloom, as Kinshiki’s landing shattered the ground at their feet. Naruto’s smile vanished, replaced by a hard, focused resolve. The exams were over; the invasion had begun.
