I do not own Boruto and D Gray Man.
Enjoy!
The forest had become uncomfortably quiet and the Chakra signatures had been snuffed out along with any tracks like nobody was there.
It was eery.
The other sensei where out of the forest just chatting to each other.
"It seems they have banded together under a competent commander" said Kakashi.
Let's see what it was like fighting against a Bookman.
Meanwhile Shino was proud, even though he never taught them how to cover their tracks and Chakra signatures so well, which meant it was most likely taught to them by Lavi.
Suddenly four people stepped out of the bushes, each holding a weapon.
"We're going to pass" they said before lunging at them.
Kakashi and Shino thought that they weren't a threat.
That was their mistake.
Kakashi revealed himself as a clone but if Shino had his eyes, they would have widened several notches when his bugs parted like the red sea when the four came close.
Bug repellent!
The children were instructed to run at their top speed and don't slow down for anything, so, while Shino surprise was sinking in, they had already reached him and his button had been crushed.
Kakashi watched Shino go down, the man didn't like to use clones like he did and that was his down fall.
Suddenly he was struck in the back of his head only to poof to reveal a log.
Weapons that don't carry wind? Thought the real Kakashi at another branch, now that was interesting, if he wasn't so alart, he wouldn't have been able to switch.
Suddenly he felt like something caught his shadow.
He didn't need to think who it was, he already know it could only be the latest generation of Shik-Cho-Ino and he was right.
But what Kakashi didn't expect was that Inojin and Chōchō were already doing their attacks when Shikadai shadow caught him.
There was no signal, they all just charged.
Kakashi was flattened and the bell was taken, all them of them celebrated in a wave of falling leaves.
Only to be knocked out, but Kakashi who was watching calmly from a tree, was surprised when all three popped revealing themselves as clones.
Kakashi dodged when a weapon made from rock swung in his precise location.
There was no mistaken it, when he jumped forward, the weapon know where he was.
Students nearby already jumped down to grab hold of him, one went for the bell.
He popped out of existence revealing himself to be a clone.
This is bad...Kakashi thought, he had never lots so much chakra so rapidly before, he thought all of this while switching with a log.
And the kids, were splashing their Chakras as well.
He began to uncover his eye, only for several students to appear with Kunai in hand and all aiming for his left eye.
Kakashi swung only to reveal they were more clones, and right behind them were more, a milasecond later, like an endless stream, all of them were aiming for his left eye.
They didn't want him to uncover it and the constant attacks, forced Kakashi to switch.
Only for the bench he landed on to snap make him fall to the ground.
He fell right into the Shadow imitation technique, he turned to see Shikadai who smirked.
"Checkmate" said Shikadai.
Kakashi tried to move but he to his shock, he could not.
Since when could Shikadai produce a move this strong?
And than both Choco and Inojin appeared from behind him, both of their hands covered in chakra channeling into Shikadai.
But they weren't the only ones either.
Every student began to come out.
Suddenly Kakashi heard the unmistakable sound of a bell and looked down but his bell was still there.
A red head came out from Sarada Uchiha and pulled out a bell and said with a smile.
"Kai"
The bell on Kakashi disappeared before his eyes, revealing it be an illusion.
Since when!?
"Since the second attack" said Lavi, as the shadow retracted and all of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our aim wasn't to touch the bell" said Lavi surprising him. "It was to get the bell to swing from its hook itself"
"So you must be Lavi" Said Kakashi.
Lavi smiled largely before saying.
"I am Lavi and you would have noticed if any of us came near with our fingers" said Lavi. "So we had you move constantly to upset the Bells axis, so it swings free itself. Everybody had a part to play in this"
Everybody smiled around him.
"The first wave. I had those taking part, take a bath" said Lavi as the instructors were hearing this.
"Take a bath?" Said Kakashi.
"Not many people care to find out but when you wash all the oils off your body, bugs are less willing to come near you because there is nothing on the skin that attracts them" said Lavi.
Shino was shocked.
"I see...that's how four kids got through Shino bugs" said Kakashi.
"And that's where your habit kicked in" said Lavi.
"My habit?" Said Kakashi.
"You went to the trees" said Lavi, stunning the man. "Mitsuki was the one who was the best with wind. I asked him if he could make a wind resistant barrier around the weapons"
"It's was something new. It was a good challenge." said Mitsuki.
"You did a wonderful job, Mitsuki" said Lavi, wondering if he should be on the look out for snakes in his clothes soon. "I know out of all of us, you could do it"
He took Mitsuki ability into account and made him try to refine it. Thought all of the adults.
"But of course I know it wouldn't work but it got you surprised and moving. Before this happened you were relaxed with Shino-Sensei. I didn't believe for one second that, that wasn't a clone" said Lavi stunning the man. "The real you must be on a brench somewhere close by so that's where Sarada came in"
"Sarada?" Said Anko.
"Sarada can track your moves with her eyes
" said Lavi. "However the ability is Chakra consuming so I had her eat many berries"
"Berries?" Said Kakashi
"People don't realise this but Konoha is a place coated with Chakra" said Lavi. "It has to be, considering how many heavy Chakra battles have taken place within its walls and around it. Some of that Chakra must have seeped into the wild life, no matter how small it is, it's still there"
Lavi was shocking all the sensei's including the Sixth.
"There were so many berries" said Sarada, she didn't want to see another berry for a long time.
"There were people who gathered berries and kept feeding Sarada so that she can keep up" said Lavi. "In the third wave, I know you would resort to an illusion, I know it from the start. We're kids, you thought we wouldn't question why three kids could take down a man who has gone through countless battles beyond our dreams so easily. We have egos and immaturity working against us. That's why we sent out clones"
Lavi continued to shock.
"And than we used Iwabee, Sarada and Benkis ability to locate you in the trees, we had to keep you moving and not looking down to see that the bell had already been dropped. There was a about a 65 percent chance that the bell would have fallen by than" said Lavi. "This stage also had a purpose as well, we wanted you to step on a seal located in a brench"
"A seal!?" Said Kakashi.
"Don't get me wrong. None of us are Seal masters that's for sure" said Lavi. "But we do have Boruto Uzumaki, who's father knows more than a few seal, he must have shown Boruto at some point before the Academy how to do a basic one, so with our combined knowledge, we should be able to create an illusion that the bell was still there at least"
"No way..." Said Anko, who is this child? To even use a parents desire to make their child succeed.
"Through out of all of this, we had to make sure your eye was kept hidden" said Lavi. "In the beginning you would have never done so because the possiblity that you would need to against children had not entered you mind yet, however when we've proved how compent we are, you fall back to it, we had clones for that. You don't realise it but your quiet a dramatic guy. When you reveal your eye, you take time to show your opponent your getting serious"
Kakashi was shocked.
"Well, he's not wrong" said Shino, theyve all noticed how dramatic Kakashi made it unrevealed his eye even in battle but nobody said anything.
"And now we are here" said Lavi. "The shadow jitsu was just here to make you think, we would walk to take the bell when you were wrong. We took the bell a while back. I maybe the brains of this operation but it wouldn't have worked if all of us didn't play a part in this. You didn't lose to me, you lost to us as a team. Wasn't team work what you were trying to teach us?" And than he grinned and said Childishly. "We passed didn't we, Sixth Hokage? We have 30 minutes left until the sun raises."
And Kakashi flopped down and said. "Your one scary brat, Lavi Bookman. You all pass"
Everybody celebrated immediantly.
"I thought Boruto would shine the most today" said Konhamaru. "But using berries against somebody who was formally a Hokage? I would have never imagined"
"He know all his classmates strengths and how to make them the most effective while also taking into account Chakra usage" said Anko. "I have never seen a brat like this in all my years of teaching. He was thinking several steps ahead this entire time. You have quiet the technical monster in your class, Shino."
And Shino couldnt say anything but until now, he didn't know just how scary Lavi could be when he was put into a leadership role.
Lavi was suddenly approached by Benki.
"That was such an amazing plan, Lavi" said the boy.
"I thought my head would explode with all that knowledge" said Iwabee.
"I wasn't that good" said Lavi, with a blush.
"No, your plan was sound and you took down all of them." said Shikadai. "I was hot blooded, because I immedaintely started thinking of Chōchō and Inojin and nobody else in the beginning. I needed a wack to get me to consider other people"
"You would have come with something similar eventually" said Lavi, putting his hand on Shikadai. "You just didn't have the maturity to handle it." He stuck his tongue out and winked.
Shikadai cringed.
He lost to this guy?
"From now on call me Senpai!" Said Lavi with his hands on his head like a ballerina, with his nose pointy in the air and a mile long.
He began to spin and shout how great he was.
Most of them sweat dropped.
"Worst guy, ever" said Chōchō. "For a minute there, I thought he was a mature older guy. He's the most immature out of all of us"
"I wonder about that..." Said Mitsuki.
Kakashi eyes hadn't left Lavi at all as he stood up, he could tell Lavi was hidding his true self to make everybody feel at ease with him.
He wouldn't have collected so much in-depth data about everyone if they didn't think of him as friend instead of a leader.
A guy with such a high ability to understand had to be wearing a mask, so what was the kids true self and what horrors had he read about to make him hide it?
It was safe to say when they reported what actually happened Naruto Uzumaki was hella surprised along with Shikamaru.
"To even think so far as to use Berries to supplement the Sharingan" said Shikamaru. "It's a thing that has never been done before plus you have to read up on what was safe and what isn't for human consumption. The boy turned the whole forest against his Sensei's and a former Hokage. Imagine what he could do on a battlefield"
"Yes" said Naruto. "He could save many lives or damn them. Nobody knows about his morals yet and he has yet to grow maturity wise"
And so everybody recieved their headbands and had their own celebration meals.
Lavi yawned as he woke up on Monday morning and went to the barhroom, only to come back to his room and see a surprise.
Is that?
Yes it was.
It was Lavi Bookman first appearence costume, his Konoha headband was placed onto his own headband like a clipon.
Badass.
"Wear this uniform with pride, brat" said Bookman. "Today your semi a man"
And Lavi was almost in tears before he beard that last part.
"What do you mean, I'm semi a man?" He yelled.
"Your still a brat kid!" Yelled Bookman back.
The noise started again as the two of them fought.
Meanwhile outside.
So noisy...thought those passing by.
And scene!
