School time passed by quickly and break time arrived. The students were busy with various activities as they had one hour to pass time in the large academy.
Boruto and his group were playing soccer with another class to relax after the hectic classes that filled their heads with complex terminologies and their bodies moving at high speeds to create the items or creating new strategies according to what the student majored in.
Outside of the Shinobi card game, soccer was the most famous game on campus. Some of the students dreamed of becoming professional players.
It wasn't rare since it was encouraged by the system to have more than one goal, and one of them was fixed to being soldiers when needed.
There weren't enough missions to go around for such large number of ninja. In the old days, there were less than 100,000 in total but in a decade it had become a million trained ninja.
These new activities helped chakra users find their purpose in life in a peaceful society since not everyone wanted to become a researcher and such.
It also helped them practice their chakra control, focus and skills while having fun. Just like always the team was broken for the sake of challenge so Shikadai led the other team alongside Metal and Iwabe plus other classmates from the same year.
"Here it comes!" Boruto decided to shoot the ball towards the goal from the half way point. With the stamp of his feet, the other players felt the earth capture their legs while he spun in the air and kicked the ball with lightning shot.
The ball was infused with lightning and the spin had given an extra boost. None of the players managed to react fast enough and the ball arrived at the goal.
Metal was the goal keeper and he opened his gates to increase his power, and blocked it with his fists. The ball hit him and bounced back without popping and still retaining most of its speed.
It was going out of the field and hit the boundary.
The game went on and Boruto deployed the Jiggle tactics. The team transformed into busty woman and it distracted Metal, and he was unable to stop the ball.
Boys being boys, they did things for fun but it annoyed the girls because they were making shameful poses and moves.
All the boys just laughed about it since it was a joke but the girls looked at them with disdain.
"Boruto, stop this now." Sarada called out to him as she walked into the field with her group. There was Wasabi, Namida, Chocho and Laura.
With the girls walking into the field, the boys stopped.
"Sarada, what are you doing?" Boruto asked while he was in the shape of a blonde model.
"No, what are you doing?"
"Having fun what else."
"Can you stop using that form?"
"Why? This is just a harmless joke. We aren't making fun of anyone."
"It looks too vulgar the way you guys are doing it. Think of your position, and tell me is this how you are supposed to act?" Sarada said pointedly as she stood in front of him and pushed him lightly, breaking his control and returning him to normal shape.
Boruto looked at the girls and the boys behind him plus Juri. He knew that Sarada was the modest type but this reaction most likely had to do with his position and his appearance.
She most likely reacted because it was like Naruto doing it.
"You can't dictate what we can do and it is allowed. If you don't like seeing it than go away, there are more peaceful places in the academy than the soccer field." Boruto didn't let his annoyance take over and handled it calmly.
They were close to graduation and he was the leader so he had started to focus on getting rid of his bad qualities.
Boruto was wrong in his assumption, as Sarada was displeased because it was offensive to the girls. It was really vulgar the way the boys acted.
Seeing that the boys didn't understand her point and weren't going to listen, she did the only thing she could do.
"Let's play a game and winner gets to ask something from the losing team." Sarada calmed down and put away her glasses as her Sharingan stared into his eyes.
"Are you serious? Do you even know how to play?" Boruto had never seen Sarada play soccer in her life and the girls behind hadn't either except for Laura.
'Sarada, are you sure about this?' Namida asked through telepathy.
Boruto wasn't the only one as the other boys also thought she wasn't thinking right but the girls looked confident.
"We are sure. I have seen the game many times since Natsu loves it and Juri also watches it." Sarada said confidently with her hands on her hips.
"I don't mind, but don't regret it."
"We won't bro, so take it seriously or you might regret it." Laura spoke up and backed Sarada.
"Juri, are you playing with them or will you join us?" Wasabi asked as Juri was with the boys.
Juri thought about and decided to join the girl side, "This way, we can enjoy the challenge."
Boruto didn't mind as Juri leaving only increased the fun factor for this battle.
"Okay, we have half an hour left before break finishes. The winning team is the one with the most goals by the end. Finally, let's enjoy our time and no hard feelings." Boruto said as they were friends in the end and he didn't want their relationship to weaken.
"No hard feelings." Sarada muttered and the girls walked to one side of the field while the boys to the other side.
Most of the boys went to the sidelines and the main players joined together.
"Boruto, are you sure about this?" Shikadai asked as he knew Boruto had liked Sarada for a time and the reason for the conflict was childish.
"Yeah, let's just enjoy it. We have played with the guys for a long time now, so this will be a new experience for everyone. I would have stopped if I wasn't curious." Boruto replied honestly since getting into a fight because of sexy jutsu was immature.
Seeing the girls get into the field, people started to gather and watch the match since it was a rare treat.
"Do we go easy on them or go hard from the start?" Iwabe asked and the smile on Boruto's face was the answer.
"Let's show them hell."
--
"Sarada, do we really need to do this?" Namida asked again. She was a girl of similar height to Sarada, standing at 160 cm with a slim body. Her hair was brown and tied into twin tails. She had green eyes and came from a normal ninja family.
She wore a white shirt with light brown jacket and pants.
She was a kind girl with a shy personality and some inferiority complex that existed because of the strong people around her.
Among the group she was the support type and a singer like Yodo. She looked up to Yodo as her role model but she wasn't confident in her looks, so she didn't dress as exotic like her.
"Come on Nam, Sara is just having some fun. We know Boruto from childhood, his reactions aren't hard to predict in these situations." Wasabi put her arm around Namida and told her not to worry about it. They were aware that Boruto only did it for the challenge or he would have stopped.
Wasabi was the daughter of Kiba and Yugito. She had short black hair and golden eyes like a cat. She was slim beauty with great affinity to flames and animals.
She wore a black shirt with a green hoodie with cat ears and black shorts and shoes. She also had silver crescent moon earrings.
Among the group she was the third strongest, behind Sarada and Laura. Juri wasn't a regular of their group or Wasabi would be the forth.
She was an outgoing girl with great confidence in herself.
"She is right you know. Boruto isn't insensitive that he wouldn't stop when we asked. He found a challenge and decided to go through with it." Laura added her support to it so that Namida wouldn't think they were actually fighting.
"Regardless, we are going to win or the boys will look down on us." Sarada didn't refute their words and reminded them to focus.
"I will be the goal keeper, so good luck." Chocho walked to her position without being told and she did fit into that position. Sarada and Juri could also be good keepers but they were better in the field than Chocho.
"Namida, you will stay in defense and support us."Sarada commanded as Namida was best situated at the back where other players won't disturb her tempo and she can focus on her powers.
Understanding that this was just a friendly bout between friends, Namida calmed down and nodded as she followed Chocho to take her position.
Without much delay, everyone took their positions and other girls that were followers took the positions that were left out.
Sarada took the center while Laura took the striker position and Juri was there to fight alongside her on the other side.
Wasabi played the defense as well to utilize her speed to stop the boys from storming their goal. From the boy's side, Boruto and Mitsuki were the main attack units.
Boruto was confident in his team so they didn't do coin toss and allowed the girls to start. With the start of the battle, Namida started singing to boost her team while debuffing the foes.

With the song playing, Boruto's team felt the debuff as their speed was lowered and their concentration was lowered. They even felt danger from the other team and the ground seemed to become slippery.
It wasn't something new for them since the academy made sure the students had faced all kinds of fighting styles before graduation. Boruto had faced the best in this field, Yodo.
Regardless of having faced it before, the attack still managed to affect them all but they managed to lower it before it took them all out.
The girl team got the buff and Wasabi passed the ball to Sarada, taking advantage of the initial confusion from the song she passed through the boys who had difficulty moving.
She quickly passed the ball to Laura, who didn't hesitate and gave a spinning kick to it. The ball moved like the wind and passed through Metal's guard before he could even control himself.
Boruto was surprised that they managed to get a goal so easily but it only made him feel excited. Now they were getting somewhere. They never had the singer type with them so it was the first in this situation.
"Let's do it." Boruto got the ball from Mitsuki and started the game again, this time they had all adjusted to Namida's singing. The debuff was present but Boruto didn't mind it.
Honestly, he was impressed by Namida. He thought she was a shy girl but here she was singing one of Yodo's songs. Her image made a 180 turn and her aura was aggressive.
He found it charming.
Moving on, he focused on his task of winning the match. With lightning flowing around his feet, he rushed through them while Mitsuki also followed along as they passed the ball to each other.
Sarada and Wasabi went to counter them, but Mitsuki kicked the ball back and Iwabe kicked it to the front again.
Boruto followed through and kicked it to the goal. The trio force was too strong especially since all of them mixed lightning into it.
Chocho was forced to take it head on. She activated the butterfly mode and her chakra wings covered up the goal.
The ball was blocked and Wasabi was about to kick it to the other side for Laura but Shikadai appeared from the shadows and kicked the ball into the goal.
The match went on without stop and both groups became more serious as time went on. It became a game of strategy and they had to use creative methods to score.
They lost all sense of time and when the bell rang, they had tied. The crowd cheered at the awesome game and both teams shook hands in good spirit.
"Let's try this again sometimes. It was truly exciting." Boruto said honestly and the boys agreed.
"We will think about it. And, we also had fun." Sarada responded as she felt her body had relaxed from the mental strain.
This half an hour was a very active moment but all of them had exceptional stamina so it wasn't much for them. They could have played the game for three hours straight for them to start getting tired when using chakra, without using chakra they could play for more than a day.
--
The soccer match was supposed to be the highlight of the day in the academy but something else happened before the final period.
Sumire had come back to the academy like normal and none were aware of her part in the shadow incident.
Her attitude had changed since she came back and people noticed. Sumire was a kind and gentle girl that avoided conflict.
She was patient with people and helped others when she could.
But people saw for the first time that even Sumire could attack verbally. It all started when Sumire met up with Sarada and the others in the hall way. Juri was also with them and they were having small talk before class.
Sumire greeted them and decided to join them since they were all friends.
"Sumire, I heard that you have been very touchy with Boruto." Juri said as she heard from the girls that during the class, Sumire had stuck to Boruto unlike before.
She really didn't like it.
"Yes, I decided that I want to win his heart. So, I am showing my affection clearly. Is there a problem?" Sumire replied with a smile as she looked at Juri sitting on the railings.
Hearing her words, the girls were surprised as they never thought Sumire would be so direct. They had pushed her many times but she never said a thing. But, here she was saying it directly with no shyness.
"There isn't a problem but as a friend I want to advise you to give up before you get hurt. Boruto doesn't suit you."
"I think we are compatible, so you don't have to worry about it."
"I am telling you to stop. You are too weak to follow him." Juri crushed the can and threw it into the trash bin before landed in front of Sumire.
Sumire was aware of Juri's affection for Boruto but she wasn't intimidated by her eyes or behavior.
"Juri" Sarada came between them before a fight started.
"I am sorry to disappoint but Lord Seventh told me that I have the potential to get there and, Boruto has already kissed me." Sumire smiled suggestively; if Juri was going to attack her then she wasn't going to back down.
"In your dreams, he wouldn't kiss anyone unless they are going out."
"Well that doesn't matter and instead of worrying about me, you should start doing something or you will regret it." Sumire decided not to push with it as they were friends in the end and encouraged her to get it out of the system.
"I don't need your advice and stop acting chummy with Boruto."
"No"
Juri was about to attack but Sarada stopped her leg, 'What are you doing? Don't get so emotional, you will get suspended again.'
'But, she is touching Boruto.'
'Then go and make it official already. Sumire will back down if Boruto accepts your confession.'
'That's easier said than done.'
'Not my problem, just don't resort to violence.'
"Apologies, I seem to have hit a nerve. I will take my leave before it escalates into a battle." Sumire saw that Juri was displeased and excused herself.
Juri wasn't the only one as Namida also felt her heart lurch after hearing that Boruto kissed Sumire.
'I need to do something.'
A.n Hope you enjoyed and comment.
