I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.

Boruto's eyes creaked open, the boy smiling as he realized two things. First was that his body didn't hurt in the slightest, despite the fact that he could feel the Tailed Beast chakra flowing through his Chakra Network. Second was that Sumire, at some point in the night, had come to sleep next to him, and was still cuddled into his side. He was slightly confused by the fact that he was shirtless, since he didn't remember taking that or his jacket off, but he assumed he had in the middle of the night since it was warmer than he was used to, what with the village around an active volcano and what not.
He smiled, rolling toward Sumire and wrapping his arms around her, perfectly content to go back to sleep cuddling her. Unfortunately, Sasuke had other plans, it seemed. just as Boruto felt himself drifting back to sleep, his room's door suddenly crashed open. Boruto and Sumire instantly sat bolt upright, throwing the covers off as Sumire drew a kunai and Boruto formed a water sword. Sasuke stood in the doorway, arms crossed, studying them.
"Your reactions have gotten faster," Sasuke said. "But you shouldn't remain in place. If I had fired a jutsu or thrown kunai, you'd both be dead now."
Boruto sighed, walking to the window and letting his jutsu drop outside so as not to soak the floor.
"We'll try harder next time," Boruto said.
"Boruto, don't do anything stupid," Sasuke said, Boruto blinking in surprise before blushing.
Before he could say anything, however, Sasuke had left. Boruto growled in irritation, pulling his shirt and jacket back on then walked out of the room with Sumire. Sumire had traded her dress and leggings for the same purple top, black pants, and white cloth around her waist that she had worn while trying to destroy the Hidden Leaf. She had also let her hair down. Boruto smiled. He decided this looked better on her. It suited her better.
The two of them walked out of the hotel together, meeting up Sarada and Mitsuki in the hallway, catching a couple of looks for coming from the same room as well as Sumire's outfit, then with Iwabe and Denki at the front door, where Sumire once again caught several looks for her outfit. They walked outside where Sasuke was waiting and he looked over Sumire's outfit for all of one second before turning to Boruto.
"Which way?" Sasuke asked.
"Chomei?"
"South."
Boruto relayed the very vague instructions and Sasuke nodded, turning and walking out of the village with the Genin, all of them speeding up once they were on the road south. As they ran, Chomei quite helpfully simply told them to go south. That either meant they were nowhere near, or that he couldn't pinpoint it. Not that Boruto or Sasuke could do better. There were no signs of battle to follow, no lingering Tailed Beast Chakra, no special clones. Just an endless road and mountains and stone spires all around them. Finally, that gave way to wide open barren wastelands with some forests in the distance and a storm gathering ahead of them.
"That's the Land of Rain," Sasuke said. "The country Amegakure is in. Is Chomei sure he's still south?"
"Chomei, we're about to leave the country."
"He's still south," Chomei promised.
Boruto sighed and nodded. "South it is."
Sasuke grumbled but nodded, speeding up, the Genin following. As they neared the storm, the winds began to pick up, howling around them near deafeningly as rain pelted them from seemingly all sides. Within seconds they were soaked and Boruto was regretting going after the Five-tails next. They could have gone anywhere. Including the Hidden Cloud Village, where they could visit Killer B while looking for the Two-tails. Boruto had met Killer B once. He liked him. Then again, if they made it to the Hidden Rain Village, he could visit Yahiko, and he wouldn't mind that either. Finally, they stopped as they reached some moderate cover from the rain under several trees in a wooded area. Almost as soon as they stopped, Sora dropped out of the tree, grinning.
"What are the chances," Sora grinned.
"Not that good," Sasuke said, stepping forward. "Why are you here?"
"I happened to be headed to the Hidden Rain Village to watch the Chunin Exams and stopped here to rest," Sora said.
"Chunin Exams?" Sasuke asked.
"You didn't know?" Sora asked. "Yeah, there's a joint Chunin Exam being held in Ame in a couple of weeks."
"Awe, we're going to miss it!" Boruto complained.
"I don't want to go back to the village and see Shikadai a Chunin before me!" Iwabe said.
The others stared at him before turning to Sasuke.
"After we catch the Five-tails, we'll talk to Naruto about it," Sasuke said.
All of the Genin cheered and Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Hurry up and rest," Sasuke said.
Boruto walked over to Sora instead.
"So, you know Wind Style jutsus, right?" Boruto asked, receiving a nod. "Can you teach me some?"
Sora chuckled and nodded. "Sure. I'll travel with you guys for a while. You might need me for the Five-tails Jinchuriki anyway."
"We have Sasuke," Boruto said. "I think we're covered."
"I heard a rumor of a guy in red armor with a steam engine on his back traveling with an escort of people in black cloaks," Sora said.
"How many?" Sasuke asked.
"Two," Sora said. "I don't know their names, but I've heard rumors of guys in black cloaks causing trouble, so I figure it's probably important, right?"
"Maybe," Sasuke nodded.
"Can we handle two?" Boruto asked. "We've been struggling with only one at a time."
"We'll be fine," Sasuke said. "If it comes to it, I'll handle them and you handle the Jinchuriki with Sora."
Boruto nodded and sat beside Sumire, pulling out his Fuinjutsu scroll and beginning to read. It had been a couple of weeks since he had practiced or studied his seals in earnest. There didn't seem to be any that would help with storms or rain, though. He sighed, rolling it back up and tucking it away, forming several hand seals and placing his hands on the outsides of his calves, a pair of identical seals appearing there. Instantly, his eyes widened and he whistled.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"Gravity seals," Boruto said, struggling to stand. "God these are heavy."
"What, like leg weights?" Sasuke asked.
"More like entire body weights," Boruto said. "They increase gravity's effects of whoever wears them. Right now mine are about two and a half times higher than normal."
He managed to get to his feet and began to raise his legs, impressed by how ridiculously hard it was to do. He lowered the weight to double his natural weight and it was bearable. After a few more minutes, they continued, moving a little slower so Boruto could keep up. However, before long, they stopped as they reached a wide open plain covered in water. With the dark clouds overhead, they couldn't see how deep it was. They began to run across the surface only to stop as they found themselves staring at the face of a crab, except each eye was roughly as far across as Sasuke was tall.
"Well that's...unfortunate," Sora mused as the crab rose out of the ground, scratches and scars covering its shell. "Think it's friendly?"
Its left claw suddenly shot out, snapping closed where Sasuke had been a moment before, closing on nothing but air.
"No," Sasuke said. "Get out of the way, crab. Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!"
He exhaled a massive fireball at the crab but it dropped back under the water before it reach him. Sasuke grumbled in annoyance as they looked around. Finally, it burst out of the ground beside Mitsuki, left claw snapping closed on his waist. Then, Mitsuki's body parts exploded into electricity, the crab lighting up momentarily before shrieking and dropping below the water. Boruto activated his Dojutsu and looked down as it shot upward at him. He leapt into the air just ahead of the crab. Then, as it reached for him, Sora blasted it with a Beast Wave Gale Palm, sending it blasting into the trees they had just left, the crab remaining motionless.
"Thanks," Boruto sighed.
"Well done," a very deep, gruff voice commended from off to the side, everyone turning and staring at a boy probably only a couple years older than Boruto wearing red plated armor with a red, metal sugegasa hat and with a large round object on his back, steam curling out of it. He wore a tight, dark blue body suit under the armor with a matching cloth mask over the lower half of his face like Kakashi. "You destroyed him relatively easily. I'll give you credit for that. But my friends have promised me I could deal with all but one of you myself, so I'm sorry, but you'll all die here."
"You're pretty full of yourself," Boruto said. "You sure you can handle us?"
"He can," a voice said as Sasuke spun, his shadow separating from him and growing into a three-dimensional silhouette before solidifying into a man with a pitch black cloak, darker than the usual ones.
"Once we kill Sasuke," a second near-identical voice said as a spot of light shone blindingly from the water and a man wearing a stark white cloak materialized from the light. "My name's Akira."
"And I'm Ankoku," the other said, a malicious grin showing from below his cloak before he lowered the hood, his messy black hair hanging down inside of it, though the rain quickly flattened it.
Akira lowered his own hood and Boruto stared at the identical face. The only difference was that Ankoku's eyes were completely black, and Akira's completely white.
"Let me guess," Sasuke said. "Light and Darkness?"
"Oh he's good," Akira grinned. "Let's play with him a bit."
"Excellent idea brother," Ankoku grinned.
Then, Akira appeared beside Sasuke, slamming his fist into Sasuke's side, blasting him away from the others. As Sasuke flipped, landing on his feet beside a mountain, Ankoku formed beside him out of the shadow of a mountain, a wicked grin covering his face before he smashed his fists down on Sasuke's back, smashing him into the ground.
"Shit!" Boruto said, turning after them only for Sora to set a hand on his shoulder.
"Trust him," Sora said. "We need to deal with the Jinchuriki. Besides, they're out of all of our league."
Boruto clenched his fists but nodded, turning back to the Jinchuriki, whose eyes shone with a wicked glee. Boruto drew his trench knives, streaming the Seven-tails red chakra along them, the Jinchuriki's grin growing, almost visible through the mask.
"Well well, a brother," the Jinchuriki grinned. "This might actually be fun then."
And with that, he shot forward, moving faster than Boruto expected. Just as he neared them, however, a massive blast of wind shaped like a demonic claw crashed into him, blasting him backward. He flipped, landing on his feet and shooting to the side as Boruto crashed down then chased him, slashing rapidly at the Jinchuriki who spun and ducked out of the way of the strikes. Suddenly, he knocked one of Boruto's slashes to the side and slammed his fist into Boruto's gut. Boruto lifted off the ground, gritting his teeth against the pain just as a Water Dragon crashed into the Jinchuriki blasting him away from Boruto. Boruto flipped, landing on his feet and glancing to the other end of the Water Dragon, seeing Sumire sighing and wiping sweat from her forehead.
Boruto turned back to the Jinchuriki as he stood, rivulets of water pouring off of his sugegasa hat, a look of pure murder now shining from his dark eyes. Boruto began to form hand seals as the Jinchuriki sprinted forward.
"Nice try," Boruto growled, setting his hands down. "Lightning Style, Spark Carpet!"
Electricity shot along the water, making it glow brightly before hitting the Jinchuriki who shouted in pain as his body lit up. When it ended, he staggered backward before Sakura launched a ball of fire at him. He dove to the side and directly into Iwabe's stone hammer. The hammer smashed but the Jinchuriki went flying, skipping off the water once before meeting Denki who slammed his foot into the underside of his jaw, launching him skyward. As the Jinchuriki began to fall, Boruto formed a Rasengan, shooting forward to Mitsuki who had his arms coiled like springs. He jumped on and Mitsuki's arms shot outward, launching him at the Jinchuriki. Boruto streaked toward him but at the last second the Jinchuriki's eyes snapped open. It was like a switch had been flipped. One second he couldn't keep up and the next he was spinning. He twisted out of the way of Boruto's Rasengan, steam exploding out of his elbow, launching it in a circle and the fist into Boruto's gut, shattering his lowest two ribs. Boruto rocketed backward, crashing down in the water and slowly climbing back out, hands on his sides, slowly healing himself.
He activated his Dojutsu, making sure he sealed his bones completely before standing, looking up at the fight in time to see the Jinchuriki smashed Mitsuki into Iwabe, launching both away. Then, he caught Denki by the face only to drop him as Sumire slammed an axe kick into the inside of his elbow then grab Denki and flee. Sarada and Sora charged at the Jinchuriki and the Jinchuriki slammed a hand into the ground, several massive Water Dragons exploding out of the water at the two of them. Sora blasted one with his Beast Wave Gale Palm, and Sarada blasted one with a Dragon Flame Jutsu, but the other continued directly at them. Boruto sprinted along the water, forming hand seals before exhaling a stream of water that exploded back skyward, blocking the dragon.
"Thanks Boruto," Sarada said.
"Don't let him hit you," Boruto said. "He shattered my ribs with one punch."
"You look fine now," Sarada said.
"Thanks to Tsunade," Boruto said.
"Boruto, open the seal," Chomei's voice ordered. "It's time."
Boruto did as instructed without hesitation, seal script appearing on his right hand as he lifted his shirt, placing his hand on his seal and twisting, the seal opening fully. Boiling red chakra instantly shot out, covering him as a long spindly tail of red chakra formed behind him, the chakra taking on the silhouette of a suit of armor but with a single horn like that of a rhino beetle. Boruto grinned, feeling even more potent chakra flooding him. It was almost addicting.
"I'm mixing some of your chakra back in with mine," Chomei said. "You should be pleased with the results."
Boruto grinned, crouching as the Jinchuriki cocked his head to the side then cracked his knuckles.
"Well come on then," the Jinchuriki grinned.
Boruto grinned as well, putting his trench knives away before rocketing forward, the water being launched sideways behind him from his tailwind. When he reached the Jinchuriki, he threw a punch, the Jinchuriki throwing one of his own, steam exploding out of the Jinchuriki's elbow as he did. Their fists crashed into each other's and the Jinchuriki was launched backward, staring at Boruto who grinned, repulsion seals once again on his knuckles. It had been a while since he had tried them out, and he liked them. A lot.
He sped after the Jinchuriki, skidding around behind him, hands over his head and the chakra cloak's hands expanding before he smashed them down on the Jinchuriki. The impact scattered the water below them the Jinchuriki crashing into the ground ten feet below them. Boruto fell after him, pulling a fist back only for the Jinchuriki's fist to suddenly explode into his jaw, dislocating it and launching him away. He flipped, landing on his hands and feet as he felt Chomei's chakra healing his jaw, a loud and painful crack filling the air as it relocated itself before healing rapidly. He looked up as the Jinchuriki landed on the water, a chakra cloak of his own around him, filled with steam and with one tail. Boruto growled in annoyance before forming hand seals rapidly.
"Wind Style, Pressure Damage!" Boruto shouted before firing the jutsu.
The Jinchuriki flipped out of the way, allowing the blast to explode in the distance before rocketing forward.
"Try one of the stronger ones you read about," Chomei said.
Instead, Boruto shot forward, activating his Dojutsu and seeing that the Jinchuriki's most vulnerable point was directly under his steam engine, typically. He ducked under the Jinchuriki's punch and moved to punch him in the gut only for steam to explode out of the Jinchuriki's foot, his knee crashing into Boruto's face, launching him away. Boruto flipped, forming hand seals as he flew then landing on his feet, slamming his hands into the water.
"Water Style, Water Dragon Wall!" Boruto shouted.
More than a dozen water dragons exploded out of the water between Boruto and the Jinchuriki, streaking at the Jinchuriki. He leapt out of the way and they spun, shooting back toward him. Then, just as the Jinchuriki landed, the Water Dragons all slammed into him at once, impacting with enough force to completely crush a train car into a ball. The Jinchuriki leapt out of the mist it had kicked up, ripping his ruined sugegasa and steam engine off and hurling them away, followed by his severely cracked chest plate, leaving him in a black body suit, a second tail now waving beside the first.
"That wasn't half bad," the Jinchuriki snarled.
"Try this one," Boruto grinned, forming hand seals.
The Jinchuriki charged and Boruto grinned, slamming his fist into the water.
"Wind Style, Upheaval!" Boruto shouted, Wind Style chakra shooting through the water at the Jinchuriki, water exploding out of the way as it did. Then, the Wind Style chakra reached the Jinchuriki, exploding out of the ground and into a sphere, Wind chakra raging around and around inside, tearing gashes into the Jinchuriki's body as he was thrown around and around in the sphere. Then, the sphere exploded, the chakra instantly spinning into a tornado, the Jinchuriki in the center as even more gashes were torn into him before the chakra blasted him to the outside of the tornado, whipping him around and around and around before the tornado exploded, blasting the Jinchuriki away from them a good hundred meters before he crashed down, blood beginning to pool under him, even as he pushed himself up, wounds healing slowly.
"Impressive," the Jinchuriki snarled, a third tail joining the first two. "You're starting to piss me off now."
Boruto grinned, forming several hand seals. "Wind Style, Gale Armor!"
A cyclone exploded to life around Boruto's body, leaving his head uncovered, the chakra cloak outside of the cyclone. The Jinchuriki exploded across the water at Boruto who charged to meet him. He marveled at the fact that there was practically no air resistance for him now, allowing him to move much, much faster. When the Jinchuriki threw a punch, he slipped under it, slamming his fist into the Jinchuriki's gut. The Jinchuriki was blasted into the air only by a few feet since the Gale Armor blocked him from actually reaching Boruto's real fist, but he didn't mind. He flipped, slamming his foot into the Jinchuriki's face and blasting him away. The Jinchuriki flipped, landing on his feet just as Boruto appeared in front of him, slamming his fist into his head, then meeting his head on the way down with a football punt, launching him away. The Jinchuriki flipped, landing on his feet then roaring, his skin beginning to flake off as his boiling cloak began to condense and solidify, transforming into a tight cloak the color of blood with four symmetrical horns on its head and five tails behind him. Boruto shot forward but before he could even reach the Jinchuriki, its arm extended and smashed into him from below, launching him skyward. As he flipped, it smashed its fists into the water with a roar, the others being launched as well. There was also a massive amount of water with them, however, and almost all of them were caught by that. Only Sumire wasn't. She and Boruto sailed higher and higher until even a shinobi would die from the fall. Then, they began to drop.
"Chomei, help!"
The wind was deafening. It began to make Boruto dizzy, so dizzy in fact, that it sounded like a buzzing, and he couldn't feel the wind. He blinked. There actually was something buzzing, and he wasn't falling anymore. He looked back, staring at a pair of insect wings attached to his lower back and flapping so fast they were a blur. He grinned, angling his body after Sumire and shooting off, cheering as he streaked through the air much faster than he expected. He caught up with Sumire about three quarters of the way and caught her by her upper arms, Sumire picking up her feet as Boruto leveled out, skimming across the water to the others and dropping Sumire, turning back to the Jinchuriki and shooting off again, restoring his Gale Armor as he did. The Jinchuriki roared, shooting its arms out at him, trying to crush him between his hands like a fly. Boruto rose over the attack, forming a water sword and slashing the arms, not removing them, but annoying the Jinchuriki. He retracted his arms just before Boruto's fist crashed into the side of his head at close to a hundred miles an hour. the Jinchuriki went flying, crashing along the surface of the water before flipping, attacking again. This time, he used one hand to try and catch Boruto but Boruto rolled out of the way, flying along the arm until a new hand suddenly sprouted from the arm at him. He flipped out of the way, more and more growing out at him. He left the arm just in time for the Jinchuriki to appear over him, fist blasting into Boruto's chest, launching him into the water. Boruto crashed down hard, climbing out, his soaked wings struggling to flap but too wet to. Boruto's chakra cloak's one spindly tail retracted, the cloak forming around the two wings as two tails this time, the chakra quickly drying the wings.
Boruto looked up just as the Jinchuriki appeared over him only for Sora to appear, a boiling red chakra cloak of his own around his body as he smashed his right fist, now a demonic looking hand with what looked like scales, large claws, and a maroon color, into the Jinchuriki's jaw, launching him away. Sora's cloak had two long ears on top of its head and three large tails waving behind him. His teeth were now pointed and his eyes red with slit pupils.
"Let's go Boruto," Sora snarled.
Boruto stood, wings blurring into motion again as he shot off, Sora keeping pace running on all fours beside him. The Jinchuriki sent his hands out at them but they sped past them, moving to punch the Jinchuriki. However, as they reached him, a second body formed out of his shoulder and slammed a fist into Boruto, blasting him into Sora and launching them both. Boruto flipped to his feet, landing on his hands and feet as Sora landed on all fours, growling menacingly.
"This isn't working," Boruto snarled. "No choice. Gotta get it to work."
He held his hand out in front of him, focussing his Lightning Style chakra to his palm. A ball of lightning formed there before slowly turning purple until it was finally perfected.
"Finally," Boruto grinned, flying forward again. "Try this! Lightning Style, Purple Lightning!"
The Jinchuriki launched its arms at him and he split them with the jutsu, flipping out of the way as arms began to grow out of the sides at him. he cut his way through with the jutsu, rapidly shooting toward the Jinchuriki.
"Let's try the other function," Boruto grinned.
He held his hand out, focusing his charka and the lightning shot outward as a violet lightning bolt, blasting straight through the Jinchuriki's chest only for a second body to grow out of the arm beside Boruto, smashing his fist into Boruto's side, blasting him away. Boruto flipped, reforming the jutsu as the Jinchuriki charged at him. He held his hand out just in time for one of the Jinchuriki's tails to burst out of the water and smash his arm upward, the jutsu blasting into the sky, the clouds parting before filling back in.
Boruto grabbed the tail and spun, yanking the Jinchuriki to him then spinning back the other way, drilling a punch into his face. He looked up as light flashed above them. It felt like the rain had intensified, and there was lightning flashing above them, suddenly. An idea suddenly occurred to him. Sasuke had once told him about a jutsu that he knew that could harness the power of true lightning and turn it into a single, unavoidable, devastating attack. That was just what Sasuke needed now. Before that, however, he had to finish off the Jinchuriki.
"More power, Chomei," Boruto said. "We need to finish this quickly."
He looked to Sasuke who was currently struggling to fight the two Land of Time brothers. He was barely holding in there, but he could last a while longer. Boruto turned back to the Jinchuriki as two more wings sprouted from his back, this time at his shoulder blades. These were also instantly covered by his chakra cloak, creating two more tails. He grinned before shooting off of the water at the Jinchuriki. It turned toward him just as both of his fists exploded down on its head. It crashed into the once again cleared ground and boruto crashed down on him, slamming his fists into him again and again, cratering the ground before a third arm grew from the Jinchuriki's chest, blasting him back into the air. Boruto snarled in rage, forming a Rasengan in his hand and shooting back down.
"It's over!" Boruto shouted.
The Jinchuriki roared, leaping at him only for Boruto to swerve around, getting off to the side and slamming the Rasengan into the Jinchuriki's gut. it shot away from his hand before exploding, sending the Jinchuriki flying, his chakra cloak fading rapidly. Boruto shot after him, catching up to him and catching him by the arms. Glowing red seal script spread over the Jinchuriki's arms instantly before flashing and sinking into the skin, the Jinchuriki screaming in agony before Boruto grabbed his legs, doing the same. Then, he returned to the others, dropping the Jinchuriki into the water belly up so he could float before forming a pair of Purple Lightnings and firing them into the sky, lightning beginning to flash rapidly almost instantly.
"Sasuke!" Boruto shouted. "Look up!"
Sasuke flipped, kicking both of his opponents away instantly, glancing upward before leaping to the others, forming his Susanoo with them all in it and flying into the sky with it, the two Land of Time brothers watching from below as Sasuke rose to stand on the Susanoo's head, a Chidori in his hand at his side as lightning filled the sky in a constant, ever-shifting spiderweb of electricity.
"I can't kill you both with this attack, but one of you will die," Sasuke promised.
He raised the Chidori over his head and the lightning gathered into a point in the sky, a bellowing roar filling the area. Then, a dragon made of lightning formed above them.
"Now you die," Sasuke growled. "Kirin!"
He swung his hand downward and the dragon roared, flying into the clouds before shooting back out. It was over so fast Boruto barely registered what happened. One moment the clouds were lighting up where the dragon was going to emerge, the next there was a massive bolt of lightning touching the ground, the next the concussion of an explosion slammed into the Susanoo, and the world around them was enveloped in dust and mist. Sasuke sunk back into the Susanoo and it slashed its sword, the dust clearing instantly to reveal a now dry world, though with rain beginning to wet it again. Everything had been destroyed. The once flat, albeit recently cratered, ground was now a field of rubble and broken stone. And lying in the center of it all was one of the two brothers, his robe destroyed and leaving him in a pair of dark blue pants. His body was burned almost beyond recognition, and he was missing half his torso, blood rapidly pooling below his corpse. In a flash of light, Akira appeared beside his brother, kneeling and inspecting his body.
"Impressive," Akira nodded. "Use lightning first to remove any shadows he could escape through, then to strike too fast to dodge. Ingenious. But not good enough. You will see my brother again. Mark my words."
With that, he lifted his brother's corpse and was gone in a flash of light. Sasuke sighed, landing his Susanoo on the ground and lowering them all to the ground before releasing it. Then, he turned to the Jinchuriki who wasn't moving and was clearly in a lot of pain.
"What'd you do to him?" Sasuke asked.
"I used a seal that shredded the muscles in his arms and legs beyond the help of even Sakura," Boruto said. "He's never going to be able to use them again."
"That's a death sentence," Sasuke said.
"He tried to kill us," Boruto said. "He's an enemy and he's working with the Land of Time."
"While I agree, that's a far cry from your father," Sasuke said. "He's always tried to save even the most dangerous of enemies."
"I'm not my father," Boruto said. "They all lost the chance to be saved when they killed my kid sister."
Sasuke nodded slowly before looking around. Just as he did, several Amegakure shinobi landed around them, including ANBU, Jonin, and Yahiko.
"Yahiko!" Boruto grinned. "Long time no see."
"Hey Boruto," Yahiko grinned. "What happened here? We sensed a fight all the way from Ame."
"We were after this guy," Boruto said, nudging the Jinchuriki in the side with his foot. "Then two members of the Land of Time showed up and fought Sasuke while we fought him. The Land of Time guys took off though."
"I see," Yahiko nodded. "Are you going to participate in the Chunin Exams?"
"We actually don't know," Boruto said. "We meant to call my dad about that."
"You can stay in Ame, just in case," one of the shinobi, clearly a Jonin, offered. "We're not too far."
Sasuke nodded and Boruto placed the same seal as he had on the other Jinchuriki, who Sasuke had decided to seal into a scroll for safety, and Sasuke sealed the new one along with the other. Then, they put the scroll away and followed the Ame ninja back to the hidden Rain Village.
