Kagura narrowed his eyes at the opponent infront of him, despite being 2 years older than the kid infront of him, an indescribable feeling crept up to his heart.
'Mizukage has great expectations from me, I can't let him down...not right now'
Boruto's grip tightened, his gaze firm and fully focused on the upcoming dual.
"May the battle commence!"
As soon as Misuno's words echoed through the hall, Kagura bent to knee level and sprinted towards Boruto holding his sword between both of his hand.
The latter side-stepped and changed his stance, upon reaching close quarter, Kagura swung down his wooden katana right ontop of Boruto's head.
Boruto seeing the incoming strike shifted his body to his left and dodged the strike by a breath of hair, he then spun his body around and launched a reverse roundabout slash towards Kagura's neck.
The gears in Kagura's mind rapidly shifted, he ducked under the attack and tried to kick Boruto in his abdomen.
Boruto, however, stopped the attack with his free hand and threw a knee right to Kagura's chin making him fly back.
Kagura quickly regained his focus and landed on the water, but before he could even blink he felt something touching his throat.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he gazed down and saw Boruto pointing his blade's edge at his throat.
.....
Silence, dead silence, nobody uttered a word, the battle ended almost immediately as soon as it started, all the students and the mizukage along with his aid all had their eyes wide.
Naruto, however, was smirking looking at the result of the small spar, Misuno snapped out of her trance and quickly announced the winner.
"T-The winner of the spar between Boruto and Kagura is...Boruto"
There were no cheers nor any applause, Boruto withdrew his blade and kept it floating on the water, Kagura on the other hand had his head dropped down, he looked at his own reflection with a tide of emotions inside him.
'Well, that was anti-climatic'
Boruto cracked his neck and exited the arena, he was met with a pat on the shoulder from Naruto.
'I don't even remember the last time I won a battle...Winning is fun'
Boruto replied the pat with a wide smirk, he then shifted his gaze towards the mizukage who was now near Kagura.
It looked like he was consoling the pink-eyed kid, Boruto then swept his gaze through the room and saw several eyes fixed on him.
Misuno arrived beside Boruto and handed him a latter, he grabbbed it and slid it inside his pocket without questioning her.
He then looked at the kids and tried to understand how they felt about the results.
Some were envious, some respectful, and a large number of them...Angry? Not wanting to be bothered by them, Boruto exited the building along with Naruto, and they soon made their way toward the public library of Kirigakure.
"I didn't know you knew how to wield a sword...When did you learn it?"
Naruto's sudden question made Boruto's brow slightly flinch, but he quickly gathered his thoughts and replied.
"I didn't know how to, It was...how do I say it
...it was almost like...Instinct?"
"Instinct huh?"
Naruto grew confused at the reply, but he decided to further question him after arriving at Konoha, they enjoyed the calm atmosphere while making their way to the library.
'Well, let's get that A-Rank water style...hehe boi'
Boruto internally rubbed his hands with a wicked smile, Naruto waited outside while Boruto entered the library.
.

'This seems to be the best out of em all'
Currently, Boruto was outside the library with a scroll in his hand, he was reading its content thoroughly, the scroll's name was 'Water style: Severing waves'.
The Jutsu focused on creating a powerful stream of water which could sever even trees with ease, however, the Jutsu does take an enourmous amount of chakra to perform it. Which, Boruto currently lacked.
'Ha~...I need to increase my reserves, It won't be that hard cuz of my Uzumaki genes, I didn't get a head start like Naruto who had Anbu level charka despite being a genin..So maybe mine works like a booster of some sort? I need to test it after coming back home'
Boruto dismissed his thoughts after that, he was about to leave the library when a bulky man stood in his path.
"Excuse me boy, I'm afraid you can't take that"
Boruto didn't bother to reply to the guy, he pulled out what seemed like a letter and handed it toward him.
The bulky man grabbed the letter and read what was inside it, he narrowed his eyes and went back to the office. He told Boruto to wait outside before entering the room.
After an hour, the man exited the room and went towards where Boruto was.
"You can go, please do visit sometimes"
The man had a little irritation in his tone, Boruto ignored it and nodded toward the bulky man, he exited the library and saw Naruto sipping on a popsicle.
"Got it"
Boruto waved his hand pointing at the scroll, Naruto nodded, they both soon arrived at their temporary apartment and started packing their belongings.
.

The sun went down, Boruto stared at the starless sky, the cool breeze ruffled against his skin, drops of water splashed on his face cuz of the waves in the vast ocean.
Boruto was now on a boat, they departed around 8:00 PM, he then walked to the side of the boat and leaned against the wall.
'...Maybe this'll be one of the last times I can relax, Who knows what the future holds for me, but in no way am I going to let fate decide my life'
Boruto slowly closed his, he then started pondering over what types of keke-Genkais he should create, he did have the abilitly. But that doesn't help him in making one easy.
'Water, fire, wind...I can imagine a pretty solid jutsu with those, but currently, I can't even merge two elements, I need to atleast create a single keke-Genkai before joining the academy'
'Oh yeah...if I add yin or yang on a Jutsu it can turn into something devastating, like adding yang to Chidori for creating the grey version...and yin for purple...or is it the opposite? Meh, I'll find it out eventually'
He forced his body up and walked inside the boat, he soon entered a room and crashed his body on the bed, his conciseness soon drifted away.
.

'What the!?'
Boruto snapped open his eyes and swept his gaze through the surroundings, Sand, Sand...and more Sand.
'What the fuck am I doing in the middle of a desert?!'
His eyes moved like a jet, trying to make sense out of the situation, his gaze fell on a black dot far away in the vast, seemingly, endless desert.
'Is that...coming towards me? Or is it expanding? What the hell is going on here"
The black dot kept expanding and expanding, Boruto narrowed his eyes, after a couple of minutes, the black dot was slowly taking shape.
'It's definitely coming towards me...But what the heck is it?'
Boruto took a step forward, he then started walking, soon, Boruto was running toward the figure and kept decreasing the distance between both him and the black dot.
The figure became more detailed after each passing second, Boruto stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes to focus on it.
'Is that a...Ball?'
The ball started expanding more and more, currently almost the size of a flat...and it doesn't seem to stop.
'That thing prolly gonna make a squashed potato outta me'
.
.
.
.
"What in the Unholy hell"
Boruto wispered to himself, his eyes were wide, almaot bulging out looking at the monstrosity infront.
The pitch-black ball was now the size of a small planet, and the worse part is that...It's still expanding.
'Did the universe get a boner or some shit?'
The Ball...or the small planet was now quite near him, he closed his eyes and braced for impact.
'I wonder how sexy is the other universe is to make our universe like that...No wonder the universe always kept expanding'
The planet made contact with his body, Boruto felt every bone in his body crack, soon, his vision blackened out.
.

"Oh yeah baby! A clean strike for the W!!"
'Huh?'
Boruto again snapped open his eyes, he looked to his left where the source of the sound came from...It was Naruto and hinata along with Hima?
'What's happening?'
