I was still waiting. Waiting for her to make a move. But to my surprise, she stood still. And after a couple of minutes, She blended in with the darkness. Disappearing from my sight.
Despite the temptation to chase her, I chose to ignore it. It's not because I wasn't confident in my abilities but solely cause of the fact that I would attract unwanted attention.
Seeing as there wasn't any movement in the alleyway, I entered the store and proceeded to purchase every sweet in the shop. After making the purchase, I took out my storage scroll and stored it.
'And there go my savings', With a sigh, I left the area and sprinted towards my home. 'I'm looking forward to seeing her in the Academy tomorrow',
"!!"
As I was about to use body flicker, my instincts went to the extreme. I tilted my head to the side, barely dodging to be what looked like a 'Water style: Gunshot' Jutsu. The bullet penetrated the fence and tore a perfectly circular hole through it.
I looked behind and locked gazes with the masked individual. Before she could even flinch from her position, I activated 'Thunderclap Impulse'. I felt my senses heightened to a whole another level.
*Crackle*
Yellow lightning danced around my physical body, I applied pressure to my right leg, Forming a small crater in the process. I could see the terror in her eyes. In an instant. My figure blurred, I stood behind her with my hands in front of my face. Between my fingers. 12 thin wires were there.
Before she could utter a word. I spun on my feet and kicked her head using my heel while doing a reverse-roundabout kick. Her body crashed into the ground in a straight line. I heard cracking sounds. 'Probably her skull.'
I concluded. I deactivated 'Thunderclap Impulse'. While fighting, at first, I used 'Vein Extraction' and disabled the majority of the veins in her four limbs. Making her immobile, after that only did I kick her head into the earth.
Her body was in a puddle of blood. I hastily body flickered away, escaping from the scene.
I wouldn't have done that if she chose to flee without making a scene, but turns out that wasn't going to happen. 'If she doesn't learn her lesson by now...The next time we meet, I'll be sure to reunite you with your family'
'...That line felt kinda edgy. Meh, whatever', Shaking my head, I concealed those thoughts and fastened my pace. Presently, I reached my home.

"Hey, Boruto! look at this!", I heard Hinata. quickly going downstairs, I passed into the living room where Hinata was sitting on the sofa looking at the T.V with a worried expression. I understood what was going on.
"What is it?", I asked, putting on an uneasy expression on my face as I neared her. "O- One of your classmates...was attacked or... I don't know, but something happened to her last night, she was found unconscious infront of a shop last night. They say that she's in critical condition. But fortunately, she's going to live. Although she may not come to the Academy. I'm not too sure since I don't know about the current situation...If she's awake or not, I don't know"
At first, her tone was filled with worry. But as she explained, she calmed down. Tho, the worry in her expression remains the same. "O-h my.......I'm going to rest for a bit, Th-this is a little too much for me". I changed my expression to distress. roughly breathing, I quickly went upstairs and went inside my room.
After closing the door. I hopped on the bed with a sigh, 'Welp, I guess that solves that', It was still 5 in the morning. I chuckled at myself remembering last night. I almost entered my home without washing the blood in my hands. 'Vein Extraction' is probably my best self-made ability up to this date. Since it could immobile even someone who's stronger and bigger than me.
'Mr. Hokage is gonna have a headache', With those thoughts, I entered the bathroom to freshen myself up. Quickly changed to my outfit, which was similar to the canon one. Except instead of the pink stripes, mine was red, and a fingerless glove on my right hand.
I pulled a scroll out, and with a *poof* a sword with a black sheath appeared in my hand. I unsheathed the sword and looked at its jagged blade, It also had scrapes running through it. I took out a towel from the drawer and proceeded to clean it up slowly.
'TenTen said she had a surprise for me...I wonder what it is', Losing myself in my thoughts. I sheathed my sword and lay on the bed with it on top of my chest.
