Author Note: I am now following the Manga.
I do not own Boruto: The Next Generation.
Enjoy!
The first up was Boruto Uzumaki because of course it was.
The village needed to flex with the child of one of the most famous Ninja's in the world in the eyes of the other Villages.
However, Boruto soon showed how he learned nothing from Sasuke Uchiha before the Bookman Clans eyes, by cheating against an opponent that wasn't even one of the hero children.
The guy was the kind of guy whose sole purpose was to make the protagonist look good, and yet the guy was beating his ass until Boruto cheated.
His sister cheered and people praised his son but one look at the Hokage face told you, he had felt something was off with Boruto win just now.
As expected, you couldn't completely fool somebody like that.
And than Sarada came up and one punched her opponent.
Shakimaru put his opponent in a deadlock.
Mitsuki just throw his opponent up and down before the poor guy fainted.
Now it was his turn.
Bookman kicked his nephew into the stadium down belong, however he managed to land on his feet instead of his head.
But he grounded to a halt and fainted on the spot.
Everybody young and adult sweat dropped, even his opponent seeing Lavi out cold.
Did it just end before it began?
His opponent looked around confused before waiting for Rock Lee to announce that he was the winner when suddenly something loomed behind him and stuck him in the neck heartlessly.
The Lavi on the floor puffed into thin air and the real one just knocked his opponent out cold.
Everybody stared.
"I'm the winner" Lavi said, doing a peace sign before walking back at the up steps like he was ordering lunch.
"When did he make a clone and when did he come up from behind?" said, Sarada Uchiha.
Yes, even the adults were wondering that as well.
And now they all had a break.
"Panda, can I have some money for food" whined Lavi immediately from the crowd.
"Sure, here's some money" said, Bookman uncharacteristically nice.
Lavi took the money only to see it was just barely enough for water and cookie.
"Cheap ass old man" he mumbled.
Bookman hearing him said. "Did I just here you say, you're more than happy for me to cut off your lunch allowance?"
"No" Lavi said immediantly, before smiling. "Thanks for the money" he hurry went to the burger place and placed an order before rushing back.
However, the eye opener for everybody was, that he was back 2 minutes later!
They recognised the food, the nearest store was 20 minutes walk from here, 10 if you're a incredible runner, so how did he make that distance in such a short time?!
Lavi sat down and began to eat his cookie while drinking some water.
It seems not even Shikamaru knew the answer to that.
And that's when the break ended and it was announced Shikada and Boruto will be battling each other.
To most, it was to see which child with completely different upbringings turned out stronger but to the Bookman Clan, it was the match to see if Boruto truly would cheat when up against his best friend who just wanted a fair fight.
However as it became clear that Shikadai was more advanced with what he had, Boruto cheated and quickly turned it around, Shikadai gave up just before Boruto was about to strike the final blow.
Everybody but the Hokage cheered for the win, because the man had seen how his son had cheated clearly now and so did Boruto own mother, which just made it a hundred times worse.
Now Naruto had a choice, would he allow his son to continue cheating or do the honourable thing and pull his son out and do it secretly to save the boy from shame.
However, the Bookman clan were thinkers and unfortunately Naruto wasn't known for his amazing strategies, he was known for the power he possessed with hints of brilliants sprinkled in.
That's why, he exposed the boy before everybody.
His classmates.
His family.
His sensei.
And complete strangers.
The look on Boruto face as his father took of the Ninja tool he used to cheat and looked at him with the most disappointed look he had ever seen would hit anybody hard.
As the Hokage announced his son's cheating, Boruto was confronted with the look on his best friends face as the truth was exposed.
Shikadai begged for him to say that he didn't cheat in their match but Boruto silence confirmed his worst fears.
"This was not the way to go about this." said, Bookman. "The boy is disqualified"
And second's later, it was announced that Boruto Uzumaki was disqualified due to cheating, his father furthered the blow by taking his head band off and saying he doesn't deserve to wear it.
Boruto blamed his cheating on his father, as if his father was the one who gave him the device and he didn't go through electricity to secure it himself.
Those pulling the strings on Boruto cheating came out to try and put their experiment back on track.
And just like decades before, Intruders appeared to try and kill someone, everybody but the Hokage stood like idiots as two people in white appeared.
The large man, stomped his food and the whole giant structure of the stadium came crashing down.
People would have died if not for the three Sand Siblings coming to the rescue.
Both Lavi and Bookman observed the new arrivals, they noticed that none of them actually used Jitsu but instead relied on their physical ability.
If things go on like this, everybody would be seriously injured or dead.
"Lavi" said, Bookman.
"You really want me to do it here old man?" said, Lavi.
"The Chunin exams have ended for today anyway, there couldn't have been a better debut" said, the old man.
"Alright than" he said, before he jumped from his seat and into the stadium below, as everybody looked at the black circle forming in the sky.
"Big Hammer, Little Hammer. Grow. Grow. GROW!" he yelled.
And that was all the warning the slim guy got as thousands of kilograms was suddenly smacked right into him from his right.
Everybody watched the guy fly with wide eyes, even Kurama in his cage went 'eh?'
And then everybody turned to see Lavi carrying the biggest hammer everybody had ever seen.
It was huge!
"If Chakra won't work on you, how about something physical?" he said, before with a swing, he went for the large guy.
The guy tried to run, the pressure from the hammer was very real.
But Lavi wouldn't let him go.
The hammer came down and he swung it just as the slim guy was getting up.
"Big Hammer, Little Hammer." he said, "Fire Stamp: Hellfire and Ash!"
And before their eyes the Hammer lit on fire and it became a snake.
"NANI!?" yelled the guy before he was swallowed and burnt to a crisp before their very eyes.
The fire dragon left like a lie, and Bookman came down calmly, the old man walked over to the large unconscious guy in a white cloak, and began to examine him, Lavi joining shortly afterwards.
"As expected, this guy can't use chakra, its all machine" said, Bookman getting out his book and writing.
"The machine work is decent. Somebody really has it out for Chakra users" said, Lavi, before he said casually. "Big Hammer, Little Hammer. Shrink"
The giant thing began to shrink before all their eyes until it grow so small that it could be mistaken for a plastic toy, it hopped right back into Lavi earring.
Both of them didn't seem to realise or care that the whole stadium was staring at them, young old, normal, prodigy or war veteran.
No, the unconscious man in front of them was far more interesting.
Bookman began dissecting a little bit of the arms before their eyes.
"So this is what no chakra system looks like. Interesting" said Bookman.
Once, Bookman got some samples, wrote a few things down, Bookman said to the Hokage. "You may take him now for interrogation, he has no use to us now. I suggest that you trap the lower half of his body in a floating body of water. He has no Chakra so blockers won't do a thing and normal chains would be broken easily. I have removed the poison he kept under his tongue"
The Hokage was silent.
"We will now take out leave since we don't need to be here." said, Bookman bowing politely and than turning. "Lavi, I'll treat you to some ice cream"
"Wait, really?" said, Lavi.
"We gained new information. That deserves to be rewarded" said, Bookman.
Neither of them had shadows, the Nara Clan suddenly became aware of and than they walked out completely, disappearing from sight.
The whole stadium was silent and than there was uproar as the mysterious man was taken into custody.
"That red head kid killed one of them and knocked the other unconscious!" yelled somebody.
"Who was that kid before? He destroyed the two who even the Hokage was having trouble with!" yelled another.
"I remember, there was a clan that moved in a few years back. That must be them!" said, another.
"The brat is amazing and the old man didn't care. He cut the guy open and left" said another.
"What a scary duo. The only reason why both invaders weren't killed was because one of them had to remain a live for examination."
Everybody was talking about the duo.
Boruto cheating seems to be a thing of the past.
Suddenly the Hokage, ordered a clear out while not looking at his son.
"Shikamaru, did you know about this?" said, Naruto to his adviser.
"The kid disappeared for a month under Clan duties" said, Shikamaru. "That sly old man was most likely forging that hammer. He had no intention of letting his nephew lose to our kids. With that hammer, he would have wiped even my kid out"
This was reality right now.
Lavi killed somebody who throw the Hokage around and Sasuke Uchiha was about to step in as well.
But they didn't hold the knowledge on how to defeat them, it wouldn't have done Naruto any good because he wasn't good without his Chakra.
The kids who were in his class, looked like they couldn't process that the brainy idiot of a red head, actually killed a person that the Hokage struggled to take down.
"That Hammer... It was so magnificent." said, Katasuke Tono. "To think the Bookman Clan, was hiding such a wonderful thing. I would like to study it, see how it works, appreciate its craftsmanship. I've never wanted to know so much about a weapon. Does the grandfather have a hidden weapon as well?"
He wanted to know so much about the craftsman ship of the Bookman clan.
"Hinata, can you take Boruto home?" said Naruto to his wife, ignoring his son's protests.
She nodded and took him home with his little sister by force.
Everybody was unaware that in another universe where the Bookman clan didn't exist, the Hokage was captured despite two great powers trying to defeat the two, and Boruto woke up in the hospital surrounded by his injured friends and family.
The Bookman Clan had saved them from a massive pandemic.
#Where the Bookman Clan is#
"I haven't had this in years. Why do you youngsters like this?" said, Bookman as he licked his first and last ice-cream.
"Because its delicious" said, Lavi, before he said. "The village will be in an uproar by tomorrow and you'll most likely be called into the Hokage office tomorrow morning, with all the other village leaders."
"I know very well this would happen" said, Bookman. "But the Bookman Clan does not align itself to one village, even in times of war. Everything must have equal shot or one side would throw the balance of the world off and lead it to complete ruin. With such knowledge, a Bookman has to stay away from getting too involved with the events of the world"
Lavi understood where the man was coming from, having a bookman involved with the world was nothing but a curse.
Having Knowledge, usually meant people would do the bare minimum to to use it and not reach their potential.
They wouldn't have had the experiences they should have to grow as people or discover new knowledge.
Lavi himself, could hear the drums of war going on.
Nothing stays peaceful for long and he had no idea about what would happen if his old man died and he was made to choose to fight.
Could he look his former classmates in the eye and tell them that all the years in the village meant nothing to him?
He sighed.
Being a Bookman was both amazing and such a burden.
Now he just had to pray that when his old man was called in, that he wasn't dragged into it and to make matters worse the 3 sand Siblings were here.
If they got close enough to look at his face well, there was no way Gaara siblings wouldn't see the resemblance to the preteen they used to fear.
It was worse because Gaara sister was Shikadai mother.
Thankfully he never went over to Shikadai house or ran into the woman on the street.
But Lavi didn't realise that tomorrow was wash day and his old man would confiscate not only his uniform but his headbands as well.
And scene!
