Yataro and Boruto were in some clearing

"What will we learn today?"

In response to the question, the demon threw a sword at the student. "I will teach you how to use the sword properly. If you manage to hit me at least once, you can keep this sword."

"Really?"

Yataro just nodded, Boruto clasped his hands on the hilt and then attacked his master, the demon blocked his master's attacks with the other sword.

"You lack speed and precision." Yataro commented

"Yes, it's interesting what you say to that."

Boruto activated Karma, and he attacked again, this time the blonde was much faster.

"I understand you used this power to increase your speed, but it's still not enough."

After a few hours, Boruto was lying on the grass, all out of breath, despite the effort he made, he did not manage to hit the champion even once.

"Okay, we'll take a break, I have to go check something."

Boruto nodded as Yataro left Boruto practicing swinging his sword.

"Wow what a sword is this, this is the first time I see a blade like this."

Hearing the new voice, Boruto turned to see a girl his age (she had short blue hair with a green strand, wearing a white coat)

"Yyy Who are you?"

"And sorry, my name is Xenovia."

"Boruto, Boruto Uzumaki."

"So what are you doing, you don't seem like a person who fights with a sword skillfully?"

"I practice, I want to improve my kenjutsu skills."

"I understand, you fancy a sparring?" She asked, pulling her sword from under her coat

"You know I..."

"I want to check with my own eyes what you can do."

"All right."

Boruto and Xenovia arranged a small sparring between themselves, they both collided with their swords, it was clear that the blue-haired girl has an advantage over the former shinobi, she managed to knock the sword out of Uzumaki's hand without any problems, and then she put hers to his throat.

"Not bad for a beginner, you can see that you know something about it, but it's still not enough."

"Thanks, you don't have to tell me about this."

A girl arrived at this point (she was no more than fourteen years old, long orange hair, wearing the same white cloak as Xenovia)

"O Xenovia, you are here, I've been looking for you everywhere, we have a job to do.

" I understand, I'm going Irina. Well, it was nice to meet you, Boruto, if we meet again, I will train you in sword fighting."

" Of course."

After the girls left, Boruto decided to train alone.

Meanwhile, Yataro was exploring the ruins of an old church.

" Something is wrong with me, I feel a strange energy."

"I finally found you, traitor."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yataro turned and saw his former companion.

"Ira, what are you doing here?"

"Venerable Gakuro told us to eliminate you and take back the crystal.

" Us, I mean ..."

"Exactly, Hiruko is probably killing your apprentice now."

Yataro decided to return to Boruto, but Ira stood in his way.

"Get out of my way."

"You fight me, you want to get through, you have to beat me.

" As you want" by adopting fighting stance
