Boruto held his hands over the shallow cut in Shizune's arm, green chakra beginning to glow between his hands and her arm. Within seconds, the cut was sealed.

"Your chakra control really is amazing," Shizune said.

"Thanks," Boruto said.

"Alright," Tsunade said. "You've progressed quickly. The last time I had a student progress so much in only a month it was Sakura. Alright, next up, we'll try a broken bone."

Shizune paled but Tsunade smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry," Tsunade said. "I found a surprisingly willing volunteer from the hospital."

Shizune looked worried until Tsunade walked out of the room and came back in with Kabuto Yakushi. Boruto blinked as he stared at the purple pigmentation around the man's snake-like eyes and the white, scaled skin covering the rest of his body.

"You're that guy that runs the orphanage, right?" Boruto asked. "How'd you break your arm?"

He indicated Kabuto's left arm, which was nearly at a right angle halfway down the forearm.

"Well, I have about two hundred Sharingan-wielding children to teach to behave like humans," Kabuto smiled. "They tend to be a handful every so often. Being human also means disagreeing. When trained as a shinobi, and possessing the Sharingan, that's a bit more violent than usual."

"Oh, right," Boruto said. "Those guys. Alright. Well, let's see about this."

"Have you been studying?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes," Boruto nodded, gripping Kabuto's arm above and below the break. "Can you even feel this?"

"Yes, but not as much as someone else would," Kabuto said. "Partially due to my own Medical Ninjutsu training and partially due to my current form."

Boruto nodded before yanking the lower arm outward and down, resetting it with a painfully loud crack that made Shizune, Boruto, and Tsunade all flinch, though Kabuto only winced slightly.

"God I wish I had your pain thresh hold," Boruto said, beginning to work on mending the bones. After a moment, he stopped and Tsunade checked his work, nodding and smiling.

"Very good," Tsunade nodded. "That's actually almost as good as some supposedly fully trained Medical Ninja can do."

Boruto nodded, activating his Dojutsu and staring at where the break was. Kabuto's chakra was flowing slightly irregularly through that spot, but Boruto knew he couldn't heal the Chakra Network. He began to heal Kabuto's arm again, and noticed that his own chakra was trying to avoid the area where Kabuto's chakra was disturbed. He focused it in that spot and Kabuto raised an eyebrow as Boruto's chakra flowed into that spot before the chakra flow evened out and Boruto stepped back, watching the now perfect chakra flow. Kabuto checked his own arm and his eyebrow climbed higher.

"Well well," Kabuto said. "That's an interesting eye you have there. I've never seen anything like it. It seems to be useful though."

He held his arm out to Tsunade and Tsunade checked it, her eyes widening.

"Completely healed?" Tsunade blinked. "How?"

"His chakra flow was distorted slightly where the break was, so I focused on that spot and it worked," Boruto shrugged.

"Amazing," Tsunade said. "Maybe I should offer your mother lessons. Her Byakugan would be an invaluable advantage. Anyway, you're done for today. I'll see you again next weekend. I think you're training with Kakashi next, right?"

Boruto nodded thanking her and leaving.

"That boy's picking it up much faster than Sakura," Tsunade said. "Sakura took two months to be able to heal a bone as well as he could without his Dojutsu. With it...he's got to be the greatest Medical Ninja I've ever met. I think he might even be skilled enough to use your old fighting style, Kabuto."

Kabuto nodded in agreement. "Oh, by the way Lady Tsunade, you told me to let you know if any of the children exhibited that ability again. One of them did."

"You're sure?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes," Kabuto said. "I'm absolutely certain of it this time. He heals like your grandfather."

Tsunade nodded, holding out a syringe.

"I'll need a DNA sample," Tsunade said. "And you'll need to convince him to stay and help you in order to keep him out of trouble. If we can get the trait to transfer, we may be able to save him."

Kabuto nodded, accepting the syringe and leaving, heading back toward the orphanage.


Boruto watched as Kakashi swiped his hand, splitting the target in half with the hand currently covered with purple electricity. He wanted to learn it so badly. Sasuke had already forbade him to learn the Chidori, so if he could learn this instead, he wouldn't mind. He watched the chakra flow with his Dojutsu, hoping it would help mimic it. After another moment, Kakashi let it fade and gestured for him to try. Boruto formed the same hand seals and held his hand out, tapping into his Lightning Style chakra. A single spark of electricity jumped from his hand before his body lit up, pain flaring from his entire body. He grit his teeth, ending the chakra flow and groaning.

"You okay?" Kakashi asked.

"What'd I do wrong?" Boruto asked.

"Well, for one, you're trying to force your Lightning Style chakra to work. You have to more guide it, like a trail of cords, or lightning rods. After that, you just have to focus it into your palm and it'll be a simple matter of getting the frequency right."

"You say that like it's easy or something," Boruto said, focusing on the first step. Lightning flashed around his palm in a circle for a moment before his body once again lit up like a christmas tree."

"Let's try something else," Kakashi said. "It's called Gale Style. You use your Water and Lightning Styles together, focusing them into beams of enhanced Lightning Style chakra, like lasers."

He showed Boruto the hand signs and Boruto went through them a few times to memorize them before Kakashi explained how to manipulate the chakra to him, Boruto practicing. Finally, he tried the jutsu. The result was a ring of electricity forming in front of him and a wall of electricity beams blasting him and launching him backward. Kakashi shouted in surprise and ran over, only to find Boruto pushing himself up, groaning.

"How did you survive that?" Kakashi asked.

"Kept the power low," Boruto said. "I'm going to try that again. Gale Style, Laser Circus!"

This time, the lasers shot outward, blasting into the trees on the far side in under a second.

"With enough practice, you can learn to have pinpoint aim with that jutsu," Kakashi said. "Lord Raikage can free a hostage with it without harming them."

Boruto stared at him before grinning.

"That's awesome!" Boruto grinned before his brow furrowed and he formed the hand seals for Kakashi's Purple Lightning jutsu again, focusing the Lightning Style chakra to the palm of his hand.

For a moment, a small ball of lightning formed in his hand before shooting into the sky and fading.

"Damn," Boruto sighed. "I'm going to have to work at that one."

"That you are," Kakashi nodded. "I think I know where to get a few scrolls filled with several different jutsus, some Lightning, Wind, and Water. No promises, but I'll see what I can do. For now, let's work on aiming that Laser Circus."

Boruto nodded and Kakashi hung several targets on various trees and directed Naruto to the center of the clearing. Then, Naruto began to hardest target practice exercise of his life.


"Have you summoned them?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes. I sent out the message. Gaara got it, Killer B got it, and Son Goku got it. None of the others answered." Naruto sighed, rubbing the inside of his eyes.

"Is it maybe because they don't have Jinchuriki?" Sasuke asked.

"Son Goku has no Jinchuriki," Naruto said. "No. Kurama says it's like they're blocked. He's worried."

"I could look into it," Sasuke said.

"Yes," Naruto nodded. "Take Boruto's team, and Sumire's. He needs to continue his training."

"What about his Medical Ninjutsu?" Sasuke asked.

"I'll have Tsunade write out his instructions on a scroll," Naruto said.

Sasuke nodded and left, Naruto sending a clone to pass the message on to Tsunade.
