After the fight with the chakra monster, Yishan, Boruto, Shikadai and others have now realized the devastating power of the beast, and will do whatever it takes to stop it.
Boruto had received detention for activating a summoning seal without permission, and for causing damage to the school. They were now having classes outside.
Meanwhile, Yishan's visual powers have not returned. Only Boruto knows about it. He had researched it in the Konoha Library, but no information was found about it at all.
However, the seal on his back was now hurting a lot more than often. He had a strange feeling the seal and his eyes were connected.
He was right.
This morning, the class lined up outside as usual, as they now learned out of the destroyed school building. However, there were new waiting for them.
Shino was standing at the chalkboard with another kid. He had white hair and yellow eyes, and was wearing a blue and white robe.
Boruto, Yishan and a few others recognized him, as they saw him when they had a run-in this morning with another person possessed by the strange chakra, when he had helped them out by defeating the possessed man, but also attacking Iwabe at the same time.
"Class, this is Mitsuki, he is a transfer student from Otagakure, the Hidden Sound Village. I hope you will all help him feel welcome", introduced Shino.
A lot of girls were interested.
"He looks quite handsome".
"I know!".
Sarada, however, sighed her disappointment at girls only paying attention to looks.
Mitsuki came and sat down with Boruto's gang. Everyone showed friendly attitudes, perhaps not Iwabe, though.
From that day on, Mitsuki was a member of Boruto's squad. But he was here on special duties.
Weeks have passed since Mitsuki's arrival. He has fully settled in, and helped Boruto and Shikadai counter a possessed Shino, in which they were almost killed. Yet the boys still did not get a chance to stop the attacks once and for all.
But they were about to.
An event at the water purification plant saw the Class-Rep, Sumire Kakei, become a victim of the purple chakra, along with a few other of her friends, but she was rescued by the Hokage, Naruto.
As everyone visited her in the hospital, Mitsuki appeared thoughtful. In the afternoon, he went to Sumire and questioned her about Boruto. He then left, and proceeded on to be invited to Boruto's house, along with Yishan;
As the two were warmly welcomed to Boruto's home by his mother, Hinata Hyuga, and his sister, Himawari, they went up to Boruto's room and hung out there for a bit.
"I gotta go to the washroom to wash my hands. Dinner's almost ready, ya know", he said as he got up to use the washroom, leaving Yishan and Mitsuki in the room.
Mitsuki turned to Yishan as soon as Boruto left the room.
"I've figured out who the one behind the strange purple chakra is", said Mitsuki.
Whatever Yishan had expected Mitsuki to say, it wasn't this. He fell off Boruto's bed and spluttered.
"Y-you did? Who is it?", he asked eagerly.
The controller of the purple chakra was anxious.
"They found out who I really am", she thought panickedly.
She thought that Mitsuki sounded suspicious. It was time to leave this place.
Sumire Kakei, the Class-Rep, got out of her bed and climbed out the window.
Her father was a member of the Organization, a branch of ANBU that was disbanded following Danzo Shimura's death. It was time for her to carry out her father's wishes and avenge the Organization, Danzo, and her father himself.
She was about to unleash Nue, the beast, on the village.
Boruto, Yishan and Mitsuki were eating dinner at the former's house, along with his parents and his sister.
"At school you only eat those burgers, I thought you must've been badly fed", said Mitsuki, looking around at all the delicious foods Hinata had prepared.
"Yeah. I would've never guessed you ate this quality of meals at home", agreed Yishan, mouth watering.
"Well, guys, dig in!", said Hinata.
The kids swooped down on the food. Naruto was about to pick a piece of meat when he suddenly halted in the middle of the process.
There's trouble.
"Sorry guys, I have to go. It's an emergency", said an apologetic Naruto.
Boruto got really upset, and slammed the door on his way out of the house. Mitsuki and Yishan chased after him.
They followed him to the top of the mountain overlooking the village. That's where Mitsuki told him the truth about his findings.
"I know who the culprit is", Mitsuki said.
Boruto's anger was forgotten, he instantly got excited.
"Who is it?", he asked.
"It's our class-rep, Sumire Kakei", he said slowly.
Whoever Boruto thought it was, Sumire was not it. He instantly denied Mitsuki's findings.
Mitsuki, seeing Boruto's reaction, knew he must stop Sumire without him.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)!", Mitsuki created two clones, one grabbing Yishan, and the other grabbing Boruto.
"Wh-what was that for? I'm your friend, ya know!", yelled Boruto.
"Yeah, what the hell? I was gonna come with you, Mitsuki!", protested Yishan.
"Sorry, but I will eliminate the one controlling the Zero-Tails myself", said Mitsuki, turning around.
As if on cue, a massive explosion erupted on the other side of the village. Mitsuki went off.
Hope you enjoyed chapter 7! As you saw, Nue is something known as the Zero-Tails, one of my first major story changes. I hope to develop Nue a lot more than it actually was in the anime. Remember to favorite and keep reading on!
