(3rd PoV)
"Uzumaki Boruto vs Uchiha Sarada!"
As soon as the match started, both threw several shurikens and kunais at each other.
'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!'
'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!'
Shurikens multiplied and countered each other, while kunais having paper bombs exploded, creating a smokescreen, using it to block each other's view of handsigns.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!'
'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!'
Fire and Wind met, and Wind's weakness to Fire was countered by Boruto's bigger chakra reserves and more powerful jutsu, making them almost equal.
At Sarada's side, ground cracked, and Boruto's hands appeared to bury Sarada underground.
But Sarada smirked. Gathering chakra in her leg, she kicked the ground in which Boruto was hidden. The whole academy ground cracked and broke into several rocks, changing the terrain of the ground.
"You taught her that?"
Naruto looked helplessly towards Sakura, who was feeling smug about her daughter destroying the academy ground.
"Isn't my daughter the best?"
"Yes yes. But my son is better."
Boruto inside the ground puffed away, revealing it to be a shadow clone.
'I can't let her punch me!'
Boruto thought as he stood on the destroyed terrain, sweating a bit.
Both stood on opposite ends of the destroyed ground, staring and analyzing each other's next move.
Boruto started running towards Sarada, as she started using the rocks to throw at him, while coating them with chakra.
Boruto dodged the rocks thrown at him, making handsigns while hiding from Sarada's line of sight, and his hand started forming lightning.
"That's-!"
Everyone was shocked, and looked at Kakashi.
"Ma, I didn't teach him anything."
Kakashi denied any involvement, and looked at Boruto with interest.
'He has developed Chidori on his own? How interesting...'
The lightning in Boruto's hand started growing and stabilising. The sound of birds chirping grew louder and louder. His speed increased, and he stopped dodging the rocks thrown at him. Instead, he blasted his way through with Chidori.
Sarada, although shocked, kept a cool mind and launched her own jutsu that she has prepared while distracting Boruto with the rocks.
'Fire Style: Fire Dragon!'
A large fire dragon emerged from the ground, its heat melting the rocks and creating Lava-like effects.
"An A-rank Jutsu!?"
Everyone was shocked again. Fire Dragon Jutsu, an A-rank jutsu required 28 handsigns. Third Hokage could do it in 4.
"She did it in only 10."
Hinata said, observing the battle with her Byakugan. Everyone was surprised by that.
Boruto was going very fast, and the fire dragon was at his point blank. Both collided, and the Lightning and Fire coming into contact led to a big explosion.
*BOOM!*
But, it was a Shadow Clone.
'Where is he!? Left? Right? No! He is-'
Real Boruto emerged from the ground behind Sarada, aiming at her with a kunai.
Sarada grabbed Boruto's hand in time, intending to punch him away.
'Got you!'
She thought.
But, Boruto turned out to be a Lightning clone, shocking and paralysing Sarada.
The rocks behind Sarada transformed into Boruto, prepared to deliver a finishing blow.
Sarada's perception suddenly became better, and she could see everything in slow motion.
Despite being paralysed, she had one more move as her trump card.
