Haruto and the others were watching Boruto's fight.
After Hiashi started the match, Boruto launched the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Then three identical Borutos appeared and all ran towards Hanabi. Observing their movements, she got into the Hyuuga clan's Gentle Fist combat stance.
Looking at two of the Borutos running in front while the last one ran behind, she noticed that the movements of the ones running in front were a distraction. Both Borutos made a quick feint to confuse which one would attack first.
But Hanabi was very experienced. As soon as the first Boruto ran forward, she took a step to the side, dodging the attack. She took this chance to strike his back, making him lose the chance to stop his movements. He could only stumble forward.
The other one following behind had no chance to react. Hanabi, with agile and fluid movements, slapped this Boruto's face hard, making him fly away.
At the same time, at some point, Boruto, who was following last, fell from the sky, delivering a palm strike to Hanabi.
She raised her arms and blocked the strike. Boruto used this moment of impact to gain momentum and rise once more into the air. With a backflip, he pulled out a ball the size of a ping-pong ball and threw it at Hanabi's feet.
When Hanabi saw something being thrown at her feet, she quickly raised her arms to shield her eyes.
In that brief interval, two Borutos appeared on both sides of Hanabi, one on the right and the other on the left. A punch followed in both directions; Hanabi dodged one and, with a spin, dodged the other while striking both parts, making them roll away.
As soon as Boruto landed, he was back against a tree. When he looked up, he saw something rolling towards him. With no time to think, he decided to jump over that thing; it was another Boruto, and as soon as it collided with the tree, it disappeared in smoke.
And before Boruto could land on the ground, Hanabi was already in front of him. After a spin, he was thrown to the ground and immobilized.
She sat on Boruto's back while one hand was on his back and the other twisted his left arm. In a lot of pain, he couldn't free himself.
"The Byakugan can see through any possible obstacle, it has no blind spots, you know that, right?"
While speaking, she raised her head and saw another Boruto above the tree, ready to attack her from behind.
But realizing he couldn't win, he dispelled himself, revealing himself to be a shadow clone.
"I don't disapprove of your fighting style, but..."
Looking ahead, one of the Borutos who was knocked down earlier was getting up. Realizing that the one she immobilized was a clone, she twisted his arm harder, making him disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Are you really giving it your all?"
Hanabi stood up while looking into Boruto's eyes. At that moment, he was very angry, and his face didn't look good.
"Yes, it's a good eye."
"You need to discipline this eye of yours more."
Hanabi said while narrowing her eyes.
Hearing this, Boruto remembered what Toneri said during their encounter. It was only then that he realized something. Turning to look at his father Naruto, who was watching him, he came to a conclusion.
"I…"
"What do you want to do, Boruto?" Hanabi's voice sounded, bringing Boruto back.
He turned his attention to his aunt Hanabi and, with a serious look, said:
"Big sister Hanabi, one more time!"
He got into a fighting stance using the Hyuuga clan's Gentle Fist style.
Hanabi was satisfied with this response.
"Alright."
Then she ran towards Boruto, and he did the same. Soon, both exchanged some blows, but unlike before, Boruto's strikes were heavier.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Watch closely!"
Hanabi felt satisfied with the change. Then she delivered a heavy blow to Boruto, which, after blocking, made him take a step back.
He took this chance to launch the shadow clones. Then there was another round of blows; Boruto even used kunais.
Observing Hanabi's dodges and counterattacks, Haruto admired his aunt's strength.
Soon, the clones surrounded Hanabi from all directions. To avoid being hit, she used the rotation technique to defend herself. With this, all the clones and Boruto were thrown away and fell to the ground.
Then they all dispelled, leaving a single person lying on the ground.
Haruto had already expected this outcome; after all, even he couldn't control this eye. It was only after accidentally awakening it that he gained some insights.
Thanks to this, his talent that allows him to master anything instantly was activated, and he gained an understanding of this power.
To be more precise, the power of this eye is still developing, like a fruit.
Only after reaching a certain maturity does the user gain the ability to control its activation.
Looking at Boruto, who was lying on the ground discouraged, Hanabi decided to say a few words.
"Well?"
"Did you see anything?"
Boruto just shook his head in denial. He only wanted to prove to his father that he wasn't lying, but now everything was in vain.
"I think you already have your answer."
"There is no evidence that you have manifested the Byakugan."
"Yet."
Everyone looked in silence. Himawari felt sad for her brother.
"Even if he hasn't manifested it yet, that doesn't mean he won't."
"Maybe something didn't go right this time."
"Besides…"
Hearing his aunt, Boruto got up and sat with his back hunched.
"But…"
He interrupted Hanabi.
"In the end, I failed."
After saying this, he got up from the ground. After standing up, he pretended that everything was fine.
"Well, there's nothing I can do if it didn't appear."
He stretched his arms to yawn.
"Alright, my clothes are dirty, I think I'll take a bath."
While speaking, he crossed his arms behind his head and left.
After that, everyone dispersed. Since it was a bit late, Hiashi invited everyone to sleep at his house.
At dinner time, everyone was gathered, and Boruto was still discouraged, but Haruto didn't care much about him.
He just wanted to fill his belly at that moment.
Naruto and Hiashi had some drinks, and Hanabi tried to cheer up Boruto. And the night passed like this.
Later, Hiashi and Naruto had a private conversation, and Boruto and Hanabi also had a conversation.
Himawari, being the youngest, went to bed early. As for Haruto, he launched a clone and used the teleportation jutsu to return to his laboratory to sleep.
