Summary/disclaimer: time for another chapter of legendary Eyes. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

Arata was thrown backwards by the Akuta while it lashed out at him. He sighed and flipped over its other arm.

"Damn these things." Arata muttered to himself while cracking his neck. "Their going to tire us out and kill both of us. I can't let land any more hits." Arata added before throwing himself at the Akuta's face.

Arata grinned as the Akuta tried to dodge while grabbing a Kunai. He buried the blade into the mask of the creature. It collapsed to the ground, cracking and oozing away.

(With Sarada)

Sarada was sent skidding backwards from one of the mind-controlled soldiers. She turned and slammed her fist into an Akuta's mask. It shattered and the creature fell to the ground.

"You know, you're getting even uglier getting covered in mud." Sarada heard from Kirara. She ignored the words of the fabrication.

They were fighting a life and death battle and she was getting fashion advice…. Sarada was beginning to question how stupid today could be.

"Funny, coming from the girl wrapped in bandages." Sarada responded, it was enough to get a glare from Kirara.

Still? She did nothing, Sarada saw a flash of purple from the corner of her eyes. It reflected off her glasses.

'Genjutsu.' Sarada thought as she kicked one of the brainwashed Shinobi to the ground. 'That's why she isn't attacking. She's just trying to catch me in a trap.' Sarada mentally added.

That left out a direct assault, a Genjutsu based on Vision? She didn't need the Sharingan to know it wouldn't work.

Sarada wished she could ask the others for assistance. If she could get in close? Sarada knew she could defeat the fabrication.

But as she smashed a fist into another Akuta, sending it skidding backwards? Sarada was reminded of the fact that they were just as busy.

"Such a pathetic little thing… If I didn't say it before?" Kirara questioned Sarada and Chocho would were whiting down the Akuta slowly. "Then I'll be taking those glasses before you die." Kirara added with a flick of her wrist.

Sarada really hoped for an opening soon. They couldn't engage Akuta all day, she was beginning to get tired even now currently.

(With Arata)

Arata watched as Inojin sent another of his drawings towards the Akuta. Arata could only watch as the Akuta exploded into chucks while he let out a sigh.

"We're going to have to move quickly." Arata stated while brushing off his cloak. "If they didn't know we were here before? They will know now, and I'm starting to slow down." Arata said before leaning on the house.

Inojin watched as Arata spat up more blood. Arata knew he was going to pass out soon, but he'd free Boruto before that.

"Why don't you let me do it?" Inojin asked, utterly serious while Arata raised an eyebrow in disbelief before shaking his head.

"No." Arata stated while he pushed off the building. Inojin could clearly see he was pushing himself.

That determination was something expected of a Shinobi. But Arata looked on the edge of collapse.

"Why do you insist on pushing on?" Inojin asked while Arata trudged past him. His gait was slow, but it was clear he wasn't going down till his legs gave out.

"Because Boruto is my friend." Arata stated while turning to Inojin. "And so is Sarada. I told her I would get this done, and once I set my mind to something? You can be sure I'm not giving up till my own body gives out." Arata added before turning and pushing toward the inner parts of the city.

Inojin sighed and followed after Arata. He wasn't about to let someone get themselves killed while he was alive.

That? And Inojin had the feeling Sarada was going to deal with him later.

If he took bets? Inojin guaranteed they were crushing on each other. He knew for sure they would confess by the time this mission was done.

"Oh, Sarada is going to kill you." Inojin deadpanned while helping his friend towards the complex.

(With Sarada)

Sarada finally demolished the last Akuta with a kick. She watched as the creature smashed into the platform Kirara stood upon.

Kirara leapt away before rolling along the roof. Sarada knew she'd have to engage Kirara before the fabrication recovered.

She readied her last explosive Kunai. If she could take out Kirara's vision for only a moment? Sarada knew she'd have an opening to strike down the fabrication.

But she had to be quick, one gaze from Kirara was probably enough to take her out of the fight for good.

Sarada wasn't going to waste that attempt to defeat another fabrication.

"You worthless brat!" Kirara hissed only to see Sarada was gone. Kirara could only look around for the girl in confusion and dismay.

"Where did she go?" Kirara questioned in utter panic at this.
