Hello! This is the second part of this chapter as the title might suggest. The latter parts should be ready by next week, again, in case anyone might be interested. As always, if you can, help me improve with some feedback. Bye!
Boruto was longer facing his master, nor Sasuke his student. Both of them found themselves a few feet ahead of where they'd previously stood a split second ago. A new face was before them.
"The power of the Rineggan, huh?" The man in fron of Boruto thought at the sight of Boruto's face having suddenly taken the place of Sasuke's back.
For a while now, Boruto had known that the fellow ninja who'd been following them were clear adversaries. He'd just figure they wanted something more substantial than just killing them. Nonetheless, Boruto quickly realized that was not the case. The fury in the face of his sinister-looking adversary immediately let him know his adversary disliked him for some reason. And then was the overwhelming amount of chakra behind the punch his adversary had thrown in the direction of his face. Boruto figured such power would've been enough to turn any flat surface into the perfect terrain for a small valley. This realization let Boruto know his adversary really didn't like him.
Sasuke's situation was slightly different from Boruto's, as he was no longer facing any fashion statement. Sasuke had already slashed at the view in front of him, and had not connected with anything that wasn't the warm spring air. His stylish foe had already anticipated the attack and dropped to the ground like lizard to avoid his decapitation. Having immediately realized this, and his enemy's incoming counterattack, as well as a second foe approaching from his right, Sasuke redirected his sword downwards, where the both legs of his first enemy were looking to sweep him off of his feet. With his whole body, Sasuke followed the motion of his katana.
Meanwhile, Boruto had managed to stop his adversary's attack by undoing his palm and clasping hands with him.
Once more, Sasuke's foe had instantaneously realized Sasuke's intentions, and had instinctively split his legs apart. Sasuke's enemy didn't yet wish for any part of his body to feel any part of the sharp blade.
Boruto's own second foe was already on the move. Boruto was aware of this. However, he'd made a slight miscalculation in his strategic position, and his angle wasn't quite the appropriate one to stop her. Boruto figured it he'd enlist the help from his first adversary.
Sasuke had missed his first mark as the blade of his katana passed through the space between his foe's legs, and adhered to the ground. Sasuke had never really expected to hit his first target. However, he had had all the intentions to strike his second foe, and was overly confident that he would not miss.
No longer considering the sword to be a threat, Sasuke's enemy was finally convinced to stop avoiding it, and split it in two. That desire just grew greater upon seeing how Sasuke was now mid air, using the handle of his katana as a foothold for his right, and only, hand to swing his body to the right.
Yet again, Sasuke's enemy had been quick to the uptake, but slow to anticipate Sasuke's future plans. Hoping to make up for that weakness, he increased the speed at which his right foot was heading for Sasuke's blade, looking to rob Sasuke of his foothold, or rather, handhold, and thwart his future, though increasingly present, plans.
A few tenths of a second back, Boruto had done with right hand as he'd previously done with his left, and quickly formed a palm rushing with chakra, which he then promptly propelled in the direction of his adversary. And just as Boruto had expected, his first adversary had slapped away his attack.
Boruto made no effort to stop the momentum of his hand, and begin a counterattack. Instead, he allowed his entire right arm to be carried by that momentum, and into the path of his second adversary. His hand was now in the perfect strategic position to be permanently stopped. Boruto's second adversary noticed this, and sought to take advantage of it.
Boruto felt a rather small, though immensely strong hand grabbing hold of his forearm. Boruto did the same and grabbed hold of her arm, though unlike her, he did it much more gently.
Buruto noticed how the left fist of his first adversary was already some three inches away from the side of his face. And, he also noticed how his second adversary's leg was one inch away from crashing against his back. Boruto realized he would not make it in time, and prepared for impact. He knew he'd managed to reduce their power enough to not kill him. But that did not have him at peace. He knew he would not die, but he also knew not dying meant hurting. And the blows he was about to be forced to endure seemed like they would still hurt a hell of alot.
Sasuke's situation was now completely different from Boruto's. His second attacker had also arrived, but Sasuke had never intended to welcome him with a the same holding of arms Boruto had received his own second foe with.
Sasuke's second foe had barely managed to get a good look of Sasuke's dark hair floating in the air before he felt his chest caving in.
His first kick having connected, Sasuke immediately followed up with his unused left foot to smash into his second enemy's face.
Boruto was in a lot of pain. His spine felt like it was melting, and the side of his face felt no pain, as all the pain it could have felt from his first enemy's punch had been transferred to his brain.
"What is this?!" The woman said with difficulty, unable to move her leg away from Boruto's back, or move at all.
Boruto began turning his face to his first attacker. Though, he did it with understandable difficulty as his enemy's punch firmly remained on his right cheek.
Meanwhile, Sasuke hadn't had much time to observe how further away he'd kicked his second attacker. He'd wanted to be prepared for an immediate response to a possible counter attack from his second foe, but his Mangekyou had earlier detected an attack from his first foe, which had now become an immediate threat. Sasuke chose to prepare for that instead.
Sasuke's first enemy observed how the blade was rapidly enveloped in ferociously ticking lighting. At the sight of this, he smiled. He was happy with himself. Just like he'd thought a hundredth of a second ago, he'd somehow correctly guessed Sasuke's future, now present, move.
Boruto's first adversary took what he was seeing as a sign of exceeding anger, but as the number of pulsating veins on the side of Boruto's face became more, he realized Boruto was not demonstrating great anger. This became exceedingly obvious to him upon seeing the smirk Boruto was displaying just below his entirely white right eye.
"I'll tell you." Boruto began answering the question his second adversary had previously posed. His adversaries did not need an answer. Their leader had warned them about this. And in their confidence, they had overlooked the abilities of Boruto of the Gentle Fist.
Sasuke observed as his opponent's foot made contact with the edge of his sword.
After the blinding explosion that came from the impact dissipated, Sasuke was able to distinguish many, sharp pieces of lightning enveloped iron, flying through the air.
Having accomplished his first goal, Sasuke's foe passed his right hand over to his left side, and firmly planted it on the fresh ground, placing his body on a complete, intricate stop. Sasuke had already let go of the handle of his, now nonexistent, katana, preparing to contain his enemy's next attack.
By simply closing his left hand, Sasuke's foe had accumulated immense amounts of chakra on it. Power, which he then directed upwards, towards his enemy's annoyingly cool face, as he saw it.
Sasuke observed as the potency behind his foe's rising punch started to arise his entire body.
"It's the…" Boruto began the second part of his answer as he forced the paralyzed hand of his enemy into helping him form the Ram hand seal.
"Wind Style: Pressure Damage Control..." Boruto casually explained, and as soon as he did, his surroundings became engulfed in a white dome of violently rotating air.
Centimeters off of the ground, Sasuke did the opposite as his foe, and opened his right palm. Though the gesture was different, it had had the same effect in invoking vasts amount of chakra in an instant. Sasuke threw his palm directly towards his enemy's risen fist.
Upon impact, the huge amounts of chakra from both caused the surface of the surrounding area to slightly cave in out of the sheer power.
Just as Sasuke had calculated, his chakra had slightly overpowered his enemy's, and caused his punch to bounce off of his hand.
Immediately, Sasuke bent his arm, and then swiftly moved half a step closer to his foe. His elbow stroke the center of the, annoyingly smug, face of his first foe, as Sasuke saw him, sending him crashing back against the ground until he was stopped by the treeline surrounding the fields.
Without the need to turn his sight in that direction, Boruto observed as the missing shade of chakra he'd earlier seen, finally joined the fight.
The peculiar green taint was some meters above his master, and getting closer to him.
So far, their adversaries had attacked just as his master had envisioned. And so, Boruto already knew what to do at this point.
It was finally time to make use of his second adversary. In an instant, Boruto shortened the distance between his attacker's hand and his own, until he was finally holding her hand, which he then quickly and easily directed into helping him form the Ox hand seal.
"Wind Style: Oscillation Control!" Boruto shouted, and the dome surrounding him became thinner and smaller in range.
Barely visible circular blades made of pure, high pressured air began to emerge from the white dome of air at high speeds in the directions of his master's first two adversaries as they made their way back to the battle area.
"Majestic Flying Swing!" Sasuke heard a female voice cracking out from above him.
Sasuke turned his sight in the direction of the shout, and saw a slim shadow with extremely long hair, slicing down on him with an equally long leg.
Initially, Sasuke had not contemplated paying any sort of attention to his third, and fifth total, enemy. But he had also not contemplated for the enemy to reveal her location so willingly.
Sasuke's first two foes continued to avoid the invisible blades constantly crashing around them, but Sasuke was not minding them. He had his attentions on his third foe. He didn't know why, but that red headed girl reminded him of someone, and the solving of that mystery was something he wanted to indulge in, but which he knew he had no time for.
Then, Sasuke noticed how her hair suddenly began waving to the left. Suddenly, the woman crossed her arms in front of her, as if trying to protect from something invisble, before she completely disappeared from Sasuke's view.
Boruto used his Byakugan to follow the fifth adversary total until his wind had dropped her off at one of the random trees behind the far away treeline.
Having momentarily dealt with the final adversary, and still keeping at bay both of his master's adversaries, Boruto figured he should permanently deal with his own two adversaries next to him.
Boruto let go of his first adversary's hand, and immediately stretched out his arm up to the sky. Then, right after, he let go of the hand of his second adversary and placed it up to his heart as he extended his middle and index finger and left the remainder of his digits resting on his palm.
The dome of air that had been surrounding Boruto had turned into an screeching, circular vortex.
Unable to control the entirety of the massive body of air, thin streams of air had escaped from the vortex and had already mowed most of the grass around the volatile cylinder.
No longer trying to avoid near-invisible blades, but completely invisible needles of air, Sasuke's foes had begun to make their way to the treeline, hoping to obtain a better cover.
Boruto placed an open palm in front of the chest of each of his immobile adversaries. Boruto lifted his left foot and began turning his body over to his right as he faintly retracted both palms from chests of his adversaries.
Half a spin complete, Boruto planted his foot back on the ground, and at the same time propelled both palms forward.
Having felt the strike, and in turn no longer feeling any sort of control over their bodies, both of Boruto's adversaries fell backwards, into the vortex they'd been centimeters away from the whole time. They were immediately sucked into its rotation. The continuous stream of sharp air made them instantly, though painfully travel the entire length of the vortex until they reached the top and were spat out back into the field.
"Master…" Boruto called out for Sasuke as he moved closer towards him, rapidly waving signs as he did.
Sasuke already knew why Boruto was calling out for him, as they'd previously discussed it a moment before their battle in the world of Tsukuyomi.
"Monkey, Bird, Dog, Ram." Sasuke's spelled out with his hand, and then took a deep breath.
Having waved the signs, and with Boruto on his sights, Sasuke placed his hand up to his mouth, and commenced the single, powerful blow. "Fire Style: Flame Whirlwind Jutsu!" Sasuke exclaimed.
The first speck of fire that emerged from Sasuke's mouth had quickly turned into a great spiral of fire that continued to expand as it continued to be drawn in into the white vortex surrounding Boruto.
His hands clasped together, Boruto was ready.
The wild orange fire had completely enveloped the vortex like a snake wrapping itself around a branch until the branch could no longer be seen, just the snake, and in this case, just the fire.
In awe, watched the fifth foe. "Beautiful... " She thought.
After a few moments of struggling to control the millions of oscillations revolving around him, Boruto breath out in relief as he unclasped his hands.
With his right hand, Boruto reached for the sky. The timbers of fire that had been floating around the eye of the vortex began to concentrate in an unstable, bright-yellow sphere hovering above the palm of his hand.
Boruto suddenly brought down his hand and intercepted it with his left hand, which he then wrapped around his wrist.
With his vision, Boruto had instantly located his enemies hiding in the treeline.
"Lock… on …" Boruto muttered as he continued to observe all three remaining enemies at the same time.
"Scorch Style: Kagutsuchi!" Boruto furiously yelled out as he looked down at the sphere he was holding in his hand. He no longer considered the remaining three to be his adversaries. They had become enemies. He'd given them every chance to stop and leave them be, but they had stayed, he knew they were now preparing for a second assault. They had pushed him, and caused for the evil inside him to come out. He hated them for doing that. He now wanted them dead.
Sasuke observed as the great body of fire began to open like a blooming flower with three petals.
The petals opened further, allowing Sasuke to gaze again at Boruto's spiky yellow hair raising in the air.
Next thing he saw was that spark of will he had seen Boruto display so many times before. He could see Boruto breaking his own limits as he painfully tried to overcome his own restraints with his sheer will. And then, saw him overcome those restraints, again ... Again, with a roar to the skies
