Welp! It's is me again! I have returned! I have kept you waiting long enough so here you go! Just let me clarify this..None of them knows the walk on water technique., hence the raft and thr vine issue. Onwards and happy reading!
Proofreading and adjustments will be done ...but for now I need to catch some zzzzzzzz
"Only one day left and we've secured both a heaven and an earth scroll." Sasuke took a quick glance at Sarada and her team mates as they slowly trudged behind, "I can't understand why they would just freely give away their scroll to us, but sometimes even logic doesn't make any sense"
"I swear if we go any further I'll die of exhaustion!" Sakura dropped to her knees and rested her head against the tree trunk.
"I don't think I could make another ste-ooof!" Sarada plopped her herself next to the tired pink haired kunoichi and snuggled up to her inhaling her familiar cherry blossom scent. "heh..despite not taking a shower and just fighting and wandering around for Four days and counting, she never lost her scent...It comforts me..."
"Heh! That's too bad! I could go all night!" Naruto pumped his fist into the air.
Boruto's right eye twitched "All that energy...where does he get it from?"
Mitsuki chuckled softly to himself "He's lively as ever"

Next Morning (Final day of the second chunin exams)
The sunlight beamed on Naruto's face, his cerulean eyes slowly fluttered open only to find Sarada staring at him, he jumped back with a small blush on his cheek "Whaa! What are you doing?!"
She smiled sheepishly "I can't help it! you look like a cat when you're asleep, anyway let's go to the river and meet the others"
Sasuke scowled when he saw them approaching, "Well it's about time you woke up sleeping beauty"
Naruto glared at him then retorted "I personally recommend it for you"
Sasuke gritted his teeth "What was that you little shit?"
Sakura forced herself between them "Whoa there guys! let's continue this on the other side of the river..please?"
Mitsuki looked at the river keenly, he picked up a stick slightly taller than him from the ground and threw it into the river. "Uh..wow this river isn't shallow, I can't see the wood, so much for swimming across"
"We'll build a raft then" Boruto started to gather up pieces of wood from the ground.
"Pft! A raft? please!" Naruto focused chakra to his feet and ran up the tree, grabbing onto a vine that hung from a thick branch.
"Naruto quit clowning around and get down here or I swear...!" Sakura shook her throbbing fist at him.
He grasped the vine firmly, gave it a slight thug "Looks sturdy enough...ahem!..ehm!"
"Uh..what are you doing?" Mitsuki raised his brow.
"I'm working on my manly jungle call duh!...you know like when you're swing on a vine" Naruto rolled his eyes at the white haired genin's stupid question
"But if you do that, wouldn't you just alert enemy ninja or worse dangerous creatures about our location?" Mitsuki retorted.
Naruto looked thoughtful for a second then shrugged "Hm...good point. But I don't care!"
Boruto squinted his eyes at the vine in Naruto's hand, for a second it looked like it just twitched, "Hmm? that's funny that vine kinda looks like a snake...hehe..WAIT A MINUTE!" "WAIT! DA-!" Everyone looked at him confused. "Errr I mean dattebasa! heh heh..Get down from there!"
Naruto frowned and stuck his tongue out "Why? It beats crossing the lake on a stupid raft that's bound to break apart before we even get across" he squeezed the vine tightly..."Wait a minute this doesn't feel like your average vine..It feels softer...scalier" *gulp*
"Hissssssss" The snake fell off the branch it was resting on and landed on the blonde ninja's shoulder "wha! wha! SNAKE!" He slapped the reptile away from his shoulder before it could bite him and almost lost his footing, barely regaining his balance by grabbing onto a branch.
"Opheodrys vernalis..." Sakura said to herself.
Naruto still heard her and frowned "Um ! Now is not the time to be speaking foreign language!"
"It means green grass snake!" She glared at her team mate.
"Well say that already geez!" the blonde ninja pouted at his team mate. Sometimes she really insults his intelligence!
"Probably would've known that if you attended classes more regularly!" Sakura grumbled underneath her breath.
"Oh no if i don't do something he'll fall into that poison ivy bush below!" Sarada focused chakra to her feet and ran up the tree, "Take my hand!" *CRACK* Sarada's head shot up, "Uh oh! that does not sound good!" the branch snapped and she almost fell out the tree, barely holding onto Naruto's waist.
"You're not making this any easier for me dattebayo!" he yelled back at her.
"I-I'm sorry! I was only trying to help!" tears welled up at the corner of her eyes, she looked away but he still saw them anyway.
"Heh...don't worry, it could've been worse" as the words left his mouth his pants dropped to his ankle, spilling all his ninja gear and the earth scroll into the river.
Sarada's face got so red Sakura thought she would've exploded from all the blood, No matter how hard she tried to look away, his green and orange pattern boxers made her laugh.
"H-Hey!" out of embarrassment he released the branch, to pull up his pants only to realize "Ooops...I shouldn't have done thaaaat!" both of them fell into the river with a big splash!.
"Sarada!" Boruto and Mitsuki rushed to the river bank, frantically searching for the dark haired kunoichi, when she submerged, they released a sigh of relief.
Mitsuki strecthed out his hand and pulled her to shore.
Boruto still had a worried look on his face as he looked into the river, Sasuke nudged his shoulder "What are you looking for?"
"Um..Naruto is not coming up back...do you think something happened to him?"
Five minutes after the knuckke head ninja submerged, gasping for air.
"Hold on!" Mitsuki stretched his arm towards the blonde ninja and pulled him to shore.
"Thanks a bunch wierd looking guy!" Naruto grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of hid head.
A vein throbbed on Mitsuki's forehead "I have a name you know!"
"Hahaha! Sorry! I can't heeeee-gaah!" Naruto sprung up and a fish fell out his pants.
Boruto picked it up and showed the others,"Look guys, break fast!"
Sarada cringed "I'm not eating that!"
The all too familiar one eyed sharingan creature appeared on the branch above them. "Well well well what do we have here?
Naruto looked around frantically "Who said that?!"
Sarada pointed towards the creature "It's comming from that stupid minion! Im sick of those things! It's like this entire forest is infested with these weaklings!"
"It seems like there's someone speaking through it like some kind of medium!" Sakura placed a finger to her chin
"Wow looks like there's a smart person among you"
Sasuke scowled "Who are you and what do you want?"
The one eyed creature sneered at them "Since you cockroaches will just get in my way! I sent you some vistors, so if you you could just do me a favor and die!"
Three shinchiku clones emerged from the ground and went towards their direction.
Boruto frowned "Um sorry dudes! Now is not the ti-" he was cut off when one of the clones shot a laser through his eye, "N-no way! that dude's got one eye!"
"Whoa that was awesome! Where do you think the other one will shoot out lazers from?" Naruto snickered as he jumped out of the way.
"From his butt?" Everyone looked at Mitsuki in disgust, "What? just sayin'!"
"I guess we'll have to forget about building a raft then..." Sasuke sighed
"We never needed one in the first place anyway?" Everyone looked at Mitsuki with confused glances "Remember...stretching...me? Hm? Rings a bell?"
"Oh yeah!" Boruto and Sarada face vaulted.
Naruto face palmed "And they call me stupid...but at least I know my team mates' jutsu"
The three clones started to close in on them. A trail of sweat trickled down the pink haired kunoich's cheek, "Uh guys...?"
Mitsuki backed away slowly from the group and disappeared into the bushes. Sasuke noticed and followed him.
"I bet he's got a ton of jutsus up his sleeve!" Boruto gulped in fear.
"It doesn't matter" Naruto stepped forward getting Boruto's attention, "I'm gonna take em' all down! believe it!"
Sarada sweat dropped "Are you seriously gonna go straight into battle without a plan?"
"Meh...It's what he does" the pink haired kunoichi waved her hand passively.
Sarada looked back at the blonde ninja, a ray of sunlight beamed down on him "He's probably gonna do something cool and blow the enemy away with cool jutsu!"
Naruto threw a smoke bomb he found on a whim in his shuriken hollster and threw it on the floor, "Guys! Let's get ou-"
A strong gust of wind blew away the trail of smoke, Naruto and the others froze.
5 minutes later...
Boruto,Sarada,Sakura and Naruto were locked up in a cell. It looked like they were underground...geez it seems like these guys have a thing for underground! Wouldn't it kill to breathe some fresh air and a little light?
Boruto forced his face between the bars of the cell and called out to the person sitting in the dark on the other side of the room. "Hey! Not because we're prisoners doesn't mean we shouldn't get food! I'M HUNGRY!"
The person got up and as he came closer, Naruto recognised him as one those stupid clones from earlier, "You placed us in a cell because you don't have the guts to fight me again huh?"
A yawn escaped the clone's lips "I think I'll pass...one time was pathetic enough"
"WHAT THE HELL?! How can you guys be so calm about this?!" Sarada gaped
"Silence you fiend! You giving me a headache and I will destroy you if you keep screaming like a banshee!" The clone yelled back
The female Uchiha cringed "Geez! Someone's got a nasty temper!" She faced Naruto "Wow...just wow! You really are the most unpredictable ninja I've ever met! What happened to all that big talk hm? Big guy?!"
Sakura shrugged "Well...*sigh* forget it!"
Where did Mitsuki and Sasuke wander off to? Is he planning to confront Orochimaru? Where the fk is adult Sasuke?! What the hell man! Those useless clones captured your daughter,her team mates and the other two..., Only one more day left for the second phase of the chuunin exams...what will be their fate?
