Chapter 1
The South American Jungle was a deep lush rainforest. A group of men were traveling down a trail in the jungle in a known place that some would call, "The Eyebrow of the Jungle." One of these men who was Japanese-American young man around the age of 20 named Boruto Uzumaki. He happen to be an archaeologist. But unlike most archaeologist, Boruto didn't exactly dress up as one on this expedition he was on. Boruto wore more casual clothing, which were mostly black with a bit of pink stripes on his clothing, along with a white shirt he wore underneath his black jacket.
Traveling with Boruto in the deep jungles of South America were two foreigners who volunteered to accompany him on his expedition. Their names were Santiago and Mateo. Boruto remained perfectly calm during the whole trip while Santiago and Mateo were shaking nervously, especially when the jungle was a very dangerous place.
Boruto and his party manages to break through a canyon wall to where they were at in the jungle. As they walked down a steep hill, they began to cut through some thick bushes to make their way. While cutting the bushes, they came upon a statue, whose face was hideous that it scared Santiago and Mateo. Boruto wasn't that alarmed by it since it was used to scare away intruders.
The party continued on through the forest as the way towards the ancient temple they were looking for was beginning to be covered by thick trees. Everything around the area was starting to cover in mist. As they kept on walking, Boruto happen to notice a native dart on one of the trees and examined it. He thought little of it, since he didn't think there was hardly anything to worry about. Santiago and Mateo thought otherwise.
Santiago examined the poison left behind by the dart and said, "The Hovitos are near. The poison is still fresh… three days. They're following us, I tell you."
Mateo rolled his eyes and scoffed at Santiago's paranoid attitude. "If they knew we were here, they would have killed us already."
Thinking about it, Santiago figured Mateo made a good point. Maybe it was the dangers of the jungle that was getting to him as they continued to follow Boruto.
Finally coming out of the thick trees, Boruto looked at the map and began to realize they were here. The temple was just straight ahead. After realizing they reached their destination, Mateo thought now was his chance. The real reason he volunteered on this trip was to obtain the gold idol in order to use it to make a profit. Now that they had found the lost temple, he no longer needed Boruto and he can handle the rest.
Pulling his gun out to shoot Boruto, he wasn't already aware that Boruto knew of his treachery. Boruto never came on expeditions without being prepared. When he heard Mateo pulling his gun out, he reacted quickly as he pulled a sword out he brought with him and cut the sword in half.
Mateo was caught by surprise. He never expected Boruto to react that quickly with such moves. Knowing he'd be a fool to kill Boruto again, Mateo thought it would be wise to leave right now as he fled in the jungle.
The sword Boruto possessed was a sword that belonged to the Uchiha family. While studying to become a professor, Boruto had studied under the famous Sasuke Uchiha. In truth, he was taught by both his father, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke considered Boruto one of his best students that he was kind enough to trust him with his family's sword.
Originally, the sword would be passed down to family, mainly his daughter, Sarada Uchiha. Unfortunately, Sarada had no interest in archaeology like her father and refused the sword. Respecting his daughter's choice, Sasuke decided to pass it to Boruto, knowing well he would take care of it. The sword was made from a special type of unknown rare metal that can cut through anything, especially guns.
Boruto and Santiago continued on towards the temple without Mateo. Before they could enter the temple, Boruto took out an empty bag and gathered it full of sand, just in case.
"Alright, Santiago, just follow my lead and everything will be fine," Boruto advised. "And keep your eyes peeled for any booby traps."
"Senor, do I have to go in there?" Santiago asked, nervously. "From what I heard, anybody who has entered that temple has never come out alive."
"Yeah, well, I'm not like those other guys," Boruto told him. "Besides, I don't plan on dying in there. Trust me, we'll be alright."
Boruto got out two torches and set them on fire and he and Santiago made their way through the temple in a tubular passageway. The entire place was crawling with spider webs. But spiders hardly scared Boruto as he brushed them out of his way with his hands. The two of them walked slowly and carefully as Boruto examined the whole area, even the floor to make sure they didn't set off any traps.
As they entered out of the tubular passageway, they saw a narrow pathway that led down. Before they could proceed any further down the temple, Santiago happen to notice a black and orange tarantula crawling on Boruto's right shoulder.
"Senor!" Santiago whispered to Boruto, gesturing to his right shoulder.
Seeing to tarantula crawling on his shoulder, Boruto simply threw it off of him. However, he happen to notice a tarantula on Santiago's right shoulder as well. But there wasn't just one tarantula. Boruto gestured for him to turn around and saw a number of tarantula's on Santiago's back.
Boruto got out his sword and simply cut the tarantula's down. Once Boruto took care of their little tarantula problem, he and Santiago proceeded even further down the temple. Boruto and Santiago found themselves in an arch hallway. Boruto noticed bright lights shining through the temple.
Suspicious of the lights in the temple, Boruto raised his hand for Santiago to stop. "Stay out of the light."
Trying to verify his suspicion, Boruto advised Santiago to stay where he was at as he walked to the other side without being exposed to the light. Waving his hand towards the light, giant spikes suddenly flanged from the wall. Santiago screamed of what he saw on the spikes. It was the remains of a half-fleshed and half-skeleton man.
Santiago had this urge to turn back, but Boruto stopped him knowing they've already reached this far to turn back now. The dangers of this temple were not going to be enough to scare Boruto away and he was not going back until he got what he was looking for.
Disclaimer: I would like to confirm that I do not own the Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, as that is the property of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Also, I do not own the Naruto series since that happens to be the property of Masashi Kishimoto.
Notice: Just to verify, this is based on Raiders of the Lost Ark film, but with a few changes to it. I'm not going to say who is who in the story, I'll let you all guess that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this version of this story and looking forward to hearing your reviews.
