Cam Yakoshi

Chapter 21

Cam, Jun, and Kira were waiting for Boruto at the training grounds. "Where is he?" Cam asked out loud.

"He's not late, so we don't have to be in a hurry." Kira replied.

"But I want to know what he has to tell us, and I want to start our training. I'm not that patient." Cam said.

"I'm just amazed that Cam is here on time." Jun said with his eyes closed.

"Would you stop always talking about me being late!" Cam snapped.

"Calm down, Cam. You don't have to freak out." Kira said.

"Freaking out!! I'm not freaking out!!! Who said I was freaking out!!" Cam yelled. Jun and Kira looked at him concerned. There was an awkward silence for a few minutes. "That proofs nothing." Cam said calmly.

Boruto just arrived and walked up to his students. "Waiting patiently, I see." Boruto said.

"Not as patient as you think." Jun said.

Boruto had a puzzled look on his face because he didn't hear any of the conversation they were having before, but he shrugged it off. "Time to start your training." he said.

"Wait, what was it that you were going to tell us?" Cam asked.

"Whaaaaat? You want to hear that now? You can't wait till your done your training?" Boruto asked.

"Of course! I won't be able to focus no my training completely if I'm wondering about it!" Cam said eagerly.

"Alright, I was going to tell you that I signed you up for the Chunin Exams." Boruto answered.

Cam eyes grew big and his mouth hung open. Jun and Kira were also surprised, but didn't show it as much as Cam. "That's so awesome!!" Cam yelled.

"Don't get too excited. They aren't for a couple weeks." Boruto said, "I wanted to train you in that time so that you can be ready."

"How are they going to be held?" Kira asked.

"Surprisingly, there are so few people entering that each person will only have one battle against another contestant. That's the entire exam. They aren't even bothering to hold a tournament. I don't know why though." Boruto said a little disappointed.

"So we will each fight only once?" Jun asked.

"That's right. The fights are chosen at random. Although with only one battle, it will probably be judged more strictly." Boruto answered.

"Even if there's only one battle, I'll pass that exam easy." Cam said with a big grin.

"Okay, calm down. Save your energy for the training." Boruto said.

"What is this training that you want us to do?" Jun asked.

"I want all three of you to attack me." Boruto answered.

"Three against one? Are you sure?" Kira asked.

"Yes, we'll do this training for a while then start on individual skills so that you can be prepared for the chunin exams. No holding back. You all have talent so it should be interesting. You three make the first move." Boruto answered.

"Alright, but you'll regret it!" Cam said as he threw three shuriken at Boruto. Boruto ducked to dodge the shuriken, and countered by throwing his own shuriken at the three of them. Cam, Jun, and Kira jumped in different directions.

"Wind Style: Wind Gust Jutsu!" Jun said as he made a few hand signs. A strong gust of wind came up at Boruto.

"That didn't work the last time you tried it!" Boruto yelled as he built up chakra in his hands and feet.

"You're so predictable!" Jun said as he appeared behind Boruto. Boruto disappeared and left Jun vulnerable to his own attack. He was pushed back into a tree.

Boruto reappeared outside the gust of wind. "Using your opponents strength against him. You should really think about that, before you jump into your attack." Boruto lectured. He turned his head to see Cam running at him with his fist held back.

"Take this!" Cam yelled as he was about to hit Boruto. Boruto side stepped and tripped Cam. "Don't shout out every time you are going to attack." Boruto said looking down at him. Jun stopped his attack and jumped at Boruto. He pulled out a kunai as he descended. Boruto pulled out his own kunai and blocked Jun. Jun jumped back and landed beside Cam who was getting up. Cam reached for his sword when he saw Kira coming up behind Boruto with a kunai. She slashed at him, but he jumped over it. He landed on a river just across from the three of them. Kira made a few hand signs as the water in the river stared to stir up. "Water Style: Raging Rapids" she yelled as the formerly still water became rough and swift. Boruto got caught in the current, but jumped out at the last minute.

Cam's eyes were wide open. "Did you know she could do that!" he yelled in shock at Jun.

"Stay focused!" Jun yelled back as he jumped up at Boruto.

"Whatever." Cam said as he pulled out his sword and followed Jun. Cam swung his sword and Jun slashed his kunai. Boruto grabbed their arms and threw them down to the ground. Cam and Jun both hit the ground hard. Boruto landed in front of them.

"That's enough for now." Boruto said as he stretched his shoulder.

"Over already?" Cam asked.

"I just wanted to see what you needed to work on and what I can help you learn. It didn't take as long as I thought." Boruto answered, "We will continue to train everyday here until two days before the exams so that you have to time to rest. Understood?" Boruto said.

"Understood." they all replied.

"Good. Go home for the rest of the day." Boruto said. They all left for home and to prepare for the training that they were about to endure.
