2. Mitsuki’s Innocent Excuse Letter for Skipping School

During the Ghost incidents in Konoha Village, Boruto’s Jougan eye accidentally activated, enabling him to see people possessed by the Ghost’s shadow.

Since the Ghost incidents often happened around Boruto, and he knew how to deal with them, Boruto formed a Ghost-hunting team with Shikadai and Mitsuki.

The Ghost-hunting team began conducting patrols, observing the daily activities of Konoha’s residents. So eager to investigate the Ghost and become heroes, Boruto, Mitsuki, and Shikadai were willing to skip school.

To avoid getting caught for skipping school, Boruto and Shikadai asked Mitsuki to write and send an excuse letter to the Academy.

However, the content of Mitsuki’s letter was utterly ridiculous. In the letter, he wrote, *”We can’t come to school because we’re sick. Cough, cough.”* Yes, Mitsuki even added the sound of a cough in written form!

The Academy, suspicious of the letter, immediately took action by summoning the students’ parents, Hinata and Temari.

Because of Mitsuki’s ridiculous excuse letter, Boruto and Shikadai’s truancy was exposed to their mothers. As a result, Boruto got a thorough scolding from Hinata, while Shikadai received a hard slap on the cheek from Temari.
