The exam were easy to say the least, all we had to do was climb a wall and walk on it, fairly simple.
Iwabe got through the exam albeit a little difficult, and Denki's performance was also a bit shaky. Either way, now is not the time to be distracted by such trivial things.
The first step towards my path to power lays ahead, right infront of my eyes. A girl a little shorter than me with raven black hair.
Using her, I'll lure out the Mini Uchiha. Killing him and thus obtaining a Sharingan. But this plan also contains extreme flaws.
If my Jougan is incompatible to be in the same body with another Dojutsu... I may suffer fatal losses, I could theoretically fry my brain and die.
And addition to that, me being a non-Uchiha is even more troublesome, the chakra consumption would be terribly drastic.
Yet... Power only comes from taking risks, and I'm ready to take them... If it isn't compatible then I'll just die or be severely wounded, not anything serious.
But... I might awaken my Byakugan in my left eye. So that means power with no risks at all... I am a little conflicted.
I'll at least keep the Sharingan with me inside a container, just for an assurance.
Well anyway, Naruto'll be departing today morning as there has been a report of a boy carrying the Sharingan. Thus, he'll be meeting the patriarch of the Uchiha clan AKA Sasuke Uchiha, to discuss further matters.
Naturally, I had asked him to be accompanied by me, which he surprisingly agreed upon... Well whatever, it works in my favor.

"Well, Shikamaru I'll leave everything in your capable hands"
"Yeah, Don't worry"
Naruto and Shikamaru ended their conversation at that. Naruto turned around and looked at me who was at the entrance of Konoha.
"Ready, Boruto"
I nodded. We both started our journey. Two familiar chakra signatures were following us, just like they should've been.
"Soooo... What made you tag along, Boruto"
"Nothing in particular"
"I see"
He increased his speed with a smirk plastered on his face, I increased my pace aswell, catching upto him in a matter of seconds.

"We should take a little break"
Naruto advised, I sat on log nearby and took out a small book from my pocket.
"Oh, I didn't knew you like reading...well, watchu got there?"
he asked me, it seems I have piqued his interest.
"it's a book about Shinobi rules... and a little side story of a ninja following those written rules"
He scratched his head in embarrassment, maybe he didn't read any of these... no, that's not possible. To be qualified to be Hokage, you need to naturally know the rules and regulations of the Shinobi world and the Strict rules of being a Shinobi.
"You've read these...right?"
"Haha... I never really paid attention to them, I just read through them once and that's about it"
Bruh...
*Crackle*
The atmosphere around Naruto fully changed after hearing the sound, both of stood up and Body flickered right toward the source.
Arriving at the scene, we saw two girls fighting desperately against a white coloured boy that was half the height of theirs... Without hesitation, I used my most broken ability in my arsenal right then and there.
I summoned my sword and angled it toward my Victim's head. I kicked the ground and using Earth style, I have myself a push...Before lifting off, I channeled fire element through my dominant leg and gave myself a boost with a boom.
*Crackle*
when my foot took the second step to the ground, I fully activated Thunderclap impulse and used burst step to further increase my speed.
*Swoosh*
My vision was fully blacked out, I saw a straight path infront of me lighted by blue fire on both sides, I took my first step and reached the end instantaneously.
*Thud*
A lifeless body fell to ground behind me, I crouched down and plucked a single eye out before storing it inside a jar which Wass kept in a summoning scroll.
I made my actions fast, using the time they were flabbergasted to my advantage.
"You!!!"
I heard a screeching scream coming from above, a mini... whatever it was, flew from from above, threatening to crash on me.
I just lifted my sword up and lined it up with his body. I threw my sword a little upward before launching it upwards with a roundabout kick to its handle's end.
Before the creature could react, my sword penetrated it's abdomen... If it did have one. And it was killed without able to utter a word.
Naruto got out his trance and quickly apeared beside me... I collect the little creature's Sharingan in the nick of time and stored it.
I stood there, my blade on my hand which was touching the ground, I looked upto the sky... It wasn't the first time I killed, and won't be the last either.
A hand clutched my shoulder which brought me out of my trance... I gazed behind and saw Naruto looking at me worriedly.
"Are you feeling okay, Boruto?"
"No need to worry lord seventh, I'm a little distracted... but I'm fine"
He nodded his head and looked towards the two girls... who had their eyes widened at the gruesome sight. This was needed to be done, for their development and to my gain aswell.
"This is the life of a Shinobi... It's not Sunshine and Rainbows all the time"
To my surprise, it was Naruto who spoke... Had I manage to make such an impact on him that his perspective fully changed?...Wow
They looked away, reluctant to see the two corpses on the ground.
Cho-Cho hastily ran toward and bush, she threw up... I guess this was too sudden for her mind to comprehend and come to terms with it. Sarada on the other hand, unfortunately had her Sharingan activated.
Now this scene will be printed on her mind... forever and ever. Such a powerful Dojutsu, yet if the wielder isn't strong, it's all for naught.
My clothes were sprayed by blood, I took of my bloody jacked and washed it in a small pond nearby... Now, things will get only interesting.
"Is any one of you wounded?"
I asked, I don't want to carry dead weight with me... It'll just prove useless and a disadvantage to me.
"H-Huh? Y-Yeah, I got a little distracted and sprayed my ankle..."
I took out a emergency medikit from a small summoning scroll and slowly approached her.
Her eyes contained fear, her breathing started to become rigid after my each step.
"Boruto... I'll take care of them"
Naruto said after observing her situation, I nodded and gave him the emergency medikit. He approached her with a warm smile and started to treat her.
I stored my blade and started bandaging my arms. The upcoming enemy can manipulate weapons made of metal, and I had to be prepared. No matter how small the protection maybe.
I deactivated Thunderclap Impulse, I had kept it activated just in case, but it seems I'm out of danger... for now atleast.
Shin or whatever his name, would be probably prepared for us, but we have a tank and a super effective Shinobi on our side, if we play our cards right, this'll be much easier but not easy.
