It was a calm and quiet day on the ocean as a ship from the Elemental Nations had left earlier that morning. At around 2:00am, to be precise. And Boruto was more than ready to take his exam to enter Duel Academy and complete his mission. The first ever S-Rank mission on his record as a ninja. Needless to say, even though he doesn't like people constantly comparing him to his father, Boruto is actually pretty excited.
And he's quite relieved to be away from the village for awhile. It will be like a whole new start for him. No one comparing him to his father, no constant saying that he will become Hokage, no more hurtful comments from Sarada. Just the thing he needed.
And the best part? His dad ACTUALLY decided to take some time off to spend with the whole family!
Boruto actually had to punch himself just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Right after punching his father in the stomach just to make sure it wasn't a clone like it usually is. His mom and sister gasped at this action, but they understood his reasons after he explained why he did so. It also helps that Naruto said that it was okay, and that he deserved it for all the times he pulled that clone stunt. So Boruto got off with just a light scolding.
It was some amazing family time for them all too. They went on a camping trip, had movie nights, and even had a little get together with the rest of the original Rookie Nine and their kids. Well, all except Sarada, as she has been grounded outside of her ninja duties.
Let's just say, Sarada's mother was NOT happy when she heard about what her daughter and Mitsuki did.
And the two of them are probably going to be furious when they hear about how Boruto got assigned a solo S-Rank mission while they were stuck on sewer cleanup duty.
Oh, and speaking of the mission. Boruto was actually given some packs of cards that were meant to upgrade his deck through the use of new monster cards called Tuners and Synchro monsters. But there's one card in particular among all of the cards he's gotten that really seems to connect with him. But he doesn't know why.
It's a synchro monster card known as Stardust Dragon. And he doesn't know why, but Boruto feels as though he has a history with this card. Like it's a part of him that he can never truly let go of. And he knows that, when played correctly, it'll be the real ace in the hole for his deck.
As for his deck itself?
Well, Boruto has always loved paleontology and anything related to dinosaurs and other such creatures of ancient history. And even though he's sixteen years old now, he just can't shed that love of dinosaurs that has only grown in him since he was little. Especially after watching the Dino Duelist, Rex Raptor, duel in the championship tournaments during his boat trip. From what the crew told him, Rex used to be a very arrogant duelist and wasn't very competent at first. But then he started to really think and trust in his deck during his duels and has begun to win more often than he loses.
His arrogance is also gone now. He's really mellowed with age, becoming one of the more likeable duelists out there along with the likes of Mako Tsunami and Espa Roba.
So, to honor his love of dinosaurs, Boruto built a deck using a new type of fire attributed dinosaur monsters known as "Jurrac" cards. And he's got every card he could need for it. And while not all of the cards are directly related to dinosaurs, it's still a balanced deck that gets the job done.
"Well Boruto, you wanted to be taken seriously and set out of your father's shadow. Welcome to Domino City." he said to himself as he began to walk below deck.
Currently, Boruto was wearing a new outfit that his mother had made for him. He knows he'll have to replace a part of it to fit whatever uniform this school will give him when he passes his exam, but for now, he's happy with what he's wearing.
Boruto is wearing a white muscle shirt that really hugs his body and shows the defined muscles he's got from all the years of training on his own that he's done before and after he entered the Ninja Academy. That shirt is tucked into a pair of black pants with red flame patterns that go up from the bottom of each pant leg to just above the knee, and around his waist is a golden belt buckle that looks like a snarling Tyrannosaurus Rex head that's facing forwards instead of sideways. The bottoms of his pant legs are also tucked into something. A pair of black combat boots with red soles and laces. To complete the ensemble, Boruto is wearing a specially made jacket that's similar to his father's and grandfather's. While Naruto has a cloak made to look like the Fourth Hokage's signature cloak, only being red with black flames licking the bottom, Boruto's was made in a reversed color scheme to where his is black with red flames instead. But the major difference is the roaring T-Rex image rising up from the flames on the back to really show off Boruto's fascination with paleontology.
All in all, Boruto now looks more like a badass.
'Now, if I could just do something about my hair…' he thought to himself.
He's always been very self conscious about how his hair looks after he got old enough to actually worry about things like that. His mom and sister tell him that his hair looks fine, but he's not so sure.
"Well, no time to worry about that right now. I have to hurry and get to the Kaiba Dome for my Duel Exam." Boruto said to himself as the boat docked.
*...Sometime Later…*
"DAMMIT, WHERE'S THE FRICKIN' KAIBA DOME!?"
Unfortunately, being in an entirely different continent means that Boruto has no sense of direction. With all of these big metal buildings all over the place, everything looks exactly the same to our young hero. And so, he's running aimlessly around the entire city as he tries to find the Kaiba Dome so he can begin his mission.
But he's not having much luck, and has only become more lost than he already was to begin with.
Stopping at a street corner, Boruto started to huff and puff as he tried to catch his breath. Even with his use of Chakra, he was quite low on stamina after running for an hour straight and the muscles in his legs are burning from running so fast for so long.
"This stinks! I've only been on this continent for an hour and already I'm lost! And my mission hasn't even started for real yet!" Boruto said through his labored breathing. "What would Sarada say in this situation? ...Nah, she wouldn't say anything helpful. She'd just call me an idiot and then whack me on the head. I swear, if she doesn't get that temper of hers under control, she's gonna unintentionally give somebody brain damage if not outright kill them with her monster strength."
Boruto sighed as he thought back to all the times he's tried to just be friends with Sarada, but they seemed to just push each other away. The lad chuckled bitterly at that.
"I guess that's one way Sarada and I are like our dads. We can't stand each other."
He would have laughed a little more at the irony of the situation, but the sounds of battle caught his attention and caused him to sober up quickly. Slowly he walked to the street corner and peeked around. His eyes widened as he silently gasped at what he was seeing.
There, fighting in the middle of what looks like a public park is a man dressed in all white tribal robes that looked almost like those of the ancient Aztec warriors that Boruto read about on the boat ride here. However, this man is also wearing a white cape connected to golden shoulder pads, with the left shoulder pad having a curved spike jutting out of it, and covering the top of his head and his eyes is a red helmet forged in the form of the top of a T-Rex skull.
Around the man's left wrist is a golden band with a golden coupling that holds a glowing red gemstone. At least, Boruto thinks it's a gemstone. He can't see it clearly from where he is. But he can sense incredible power coming from it.
But it was what he was fighting that really took Boruto by surprise.
Those things… he doesn't even know what they are.
They appear to be reptilian humanoids that share features with dinosaurs. But to Boruto, that should be impossible. There's no way technology has advanced to the point that people can just extract DNA from fossils like that! These - whatever they are - have horns, sharp protrusions, and green scales on their bodies, and are also wearing black armor and boots. And while the warrior was fighting them off using a rather intricate looking spear, these reptilian humanoids were using odd saws.
The warrior released various war cries as he easily parried the strikes of these reptilian humanoids. He blocked three saws at once using the long staff part of the spear, then pushed them away before striking all three enemies across the chest with the sharp head of the spear. Flipping forward, the warrior then kicked away once humanoid with a kick to the ribs before punching another in the face and deflecting a karate chop from another humanoid.
'Whoa, look at this guy go…! He's probably a better warrior than Dad!' Boruto remarked in awe in his head.
But then he saw more of those reptilian humanoids showing up. They literally appeared out of nowhere and caught the Tyranno Warrior off guard as they surrounded him. The Tyranno Warrior grunted as he knows that there are too many for him to fight alone. But he can't risk this precious cargo he's holding falling into evil hands.
Finally, Boruto had enough of watching.
"Hey, scale heads!" he cried, getting everyone's attention. "Why don't you pick on someone from your own time period!"
Rushing towards the enemies with chakra enhanced speed, Boruto pumped some chakra into the storage seals on his wrists. In a poof of smoke, a pair of kunai knives were released from the seals as the lad held each one in a reverse grip before leaping into the air for an aerial strike.
"Eat this!" he cried as he threw one kunai.
As this kunai was laced with Lightning Chakra, it easily punctured through the reptilian humanoid, revealing sparking circuitry with a few fleshy parts. Something that caught Boruto off guard.
"They're not human! They're robots!"
"Stay alert, young one!" exclaimed the Tyranno Warrior as he stabbed three more dino robots with his spear. "This battle has only just begun!"
Boruto shook his head as he was snapped out of his state of awe, and he quickly threw his remaining kunai, lacing it with lightning chakra like before, and skewering yet another of the supposed robots. He then called upon a shuriken from his storage seal and threw it before flying through hand signs.
"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Suddenly, hundreds of other shuriken spawned from the first as they approached the strange dino robots. They all hit home, even though a majority of them were deflected by their armor, yet most of them managed to strike killer blows and took out a vast majority of the army. Seeing that they are no match for the strange powers of this newcomer, the rest of the dino robots vanished as they retreated back to wherever it is they came from.
Boruto sighed as he relaxed his stance.
"What were those things? They were like robots, only they're not." Boruto asked.
"Those are creatures called Tyrannodrones."
Boruto turned around to see the mystery warrior approaching him, spear still in hand but being used more like a walking stick instead of a weapon.
"They are the minions of the evil Mesogog. And he is my people's greatest enemy."
"Who's Mesogog? And who are you?" Boruto asked.
The man didn't give a reply to his questions. In fact, he didn't say anything at all. He merely removed the wristband from his arm and held it out to Boruto. He watched as the stone within it began to glow even brighter than before as it seemed to be reaching out to the blonde boy. The man smiled, for he seems to know what is going on.
"You will soon find out who Mesogog is, young one. For he is the greatest enemy of my tribe. And I? I am the last of that tribe, and the guardian of the three Dino Gems."
Without warning, the gold band holding the red gem flew from the man's grasp and onto Boruto's left wrist. The boy yelped and tried to get it off, but to no avail. It's stuck like glue. And that's not all. Two more gems, one blue and one yellow, flew from the ancient warrior and into the storage seal on Boruto's other wrist.
"What the heck is this thing, and why won't it come off? And for that matter, why give me those other two gems?" Boruto questioned.
"Calm yourself, young one. All will be revealed in time." the ancient warrior replied as he vanished into thin air. "The world needs the dinosaur warriors once more."
"Dinosaur warriors? What does he mean?"
But he had no time to ponder this as he heard a loud 'gong' sound and looked to see a nearby clock tower. And more importantly, the time on the face of said clock.
"Oh no! My duel exam is in half an hour! I have to hurry!"
And so, pumping as much chakra to his legs as he could, Boruto sped off like a bat out of hell towards the Kaiba Dome. Because now that he can actually see the building, he knows where it is and can easily navigate towards it. And yet he is completely unaware of the course set for his own destiny, and how that is intertwined with those of others.
