Chapter 85 – Young Team 7
"Ahhhh," Shikadai groaned, lying on the ground, looking at the mechanism wrapped around his wrist, "I can't wait to play, but this is such a drag."
Inojin was sitting beside him, looking at the vast machine that reached the top of the first floor, collecting their chakra, "Well, it makes sense that we have to feed it some of our chakras. Before getting a chance to play."
Guren watched the numbers, the amount of pure chakra that the system collected after removing their traces from it, "Just a little more, and you should be fine for the day."
"Finally!" Chocho stood up, "This lady can't wait to meet handsome men."
"You mean train, right," Sarada's lips twitched, looking towards where the Training Grounds used to be in a daze.
She wasn't the only one; Boruto was dazedly looking towards the same direction.
"Are we really, Ummm...can we really fight the Lord Hokage when they were our age?" Metal Lee nervously asked.
"Well, from all the Data that Lady Tsunade, Aunt Hinata, and basically our parents gave us. I have pinned down a few details and put Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, and Team Guy in the simulation. Basically, you'd find them in the Old Training Grounds. You can even fight the Seventh Hokage and Sasuke Uchiha when they were our age."
Boruto raised his hand, "Hah! That sounds so fun! I am going to beat Dad and show everyone that I am better than him!"
"Oh yeah! Fighting the Hokage! I can't wait!" Iwabee raised his polearm.
"Fighting Naruto...?" Hinata walked over to the Guren, who was sitting o the chair, hugging his head from the side.
"Guren, you really went ahead and made something amazing again."
Guren smiled, taking up a headset from his side, giving it to Hinata, "Want to Naruto again when he was a kid?"
Hinata shook her head, "I have work to do. So you guys enjoy."
She walked out, "Boruto, don't play too hard."
"Yes, Mom!"
Once Hinata left, Karin couldn't help but ask, "Is the Hokage guy really that impressive?"
Boruto scoffed, "No, he's a bit of a loser. You'll see when you meet him."
"Hmm, ok, it's done," Guren stood up, wearing a headset, picking Himawari in his arms, "I'd say that you can go off to play, but all of you are going to meet the Seventh when he was your age, right?"
"Right!" Iwabee, Denki, Chocho, even Inojin stood up, all fired up, followed by others.
"Then I'll come watch," Guren smiled.
Team 7, Training Ground,
Boruto walked to the tree stumps when his footsteps stopped for a moment. His heartbeat slowed down for a moment, seeing a young Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura standing near the tree stumps, talking.
Even though the three were just talking, the air around them almost made some not want to disturb them.
"Ooooo!!! It's history right before us!" Metal Lee suppressed his voice, watching the three.
Sarada breathed in, staring at Sasuke at the center, nibbling her lip, "That's Dad...Mom..."
"Oh," Naruto walked over to them, waving his hand, brightly grinning, "Hey, I haven't seen you guys in the village before. Are you from another village?"
"It's so real," Shikadai raised his eyebrows.
"What is real?" Naruto blankly asked.
"He can hear us?!" Chocho took a step back.
"Of course, I can hear you!" Naruto seemed impatient. He looked over his shoulder, "Sasuke, Sakura, there are some weirdos here."
"Naruto, leave them be," Sasuke leaned against the tree stump, "We have our training soon. I don't want to lag behind because you can't focus."
"Huh?! Who said I can't focus?! I can totally focus?!" Naruto walked back, ignoring them, pointing at Sasuke, "You are the one who can't focus!"
"Shut up, Naruto! How dare you talk like that to Sasuke!"
Naruto was taken aback, "Sakura...but..."
Sarada widened her eyes, seeing her mother fawn over Sasuke, who wouldn't even pay attention to her. She covered her face, "So embarrassing."
Boruto couldn't watch anymore; he stepped forward, "You!! We challenge you to the battle!"
"Oh," Naruto turned back towards them again, and a Health bar appeared over his head, "Are you challenging me? Heh, this would be a perfect workout before training."
Shikadai looked towards Sasuke and Sakura, "Did you notice that the Health Bar didn't appear above their heads?"
"Maybe they just need a little push," Mitsuki smiled.
"Then I'll give them all the push they need," Boruto made a hand sign, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Boruto created three clones, rushing over towards Naruto.
"Heh, that's my Jutsu! But since you are all fighting against me-"
"All?! I alone am enough for you!" Boruto took up his kunai, making Naruto widen his eyes before it turned into a grin.
"Great! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto made a hand sign, and nearly hundreds of him appeared in front of him, "Let's go give them a beat down, guys!!"
"Shit! Shikadai stepped back, "This is such a drag....how can he just create so many Shadow Clones."
Mitsuki narrowed his eyes, "I heard that Seventh Hokage possessed tremendous chakra even when young. But this...this is in a league of its own."
Sarada became motivated, "Let's go, we can defeat them!"
Right now, the one she truly wanted to fight was her father.
Inojin took out a scroll, "Super Beast Scroll!"
"Partial Expansion!"
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
Karin scoffed, taking up her sword, "Finally, we can fight!"
Yuzu pointed her bow at Naruto clones, "Sorry, Mr. Naruto."
Mitsuki smiled, rushing in with them, all of them working together to plow down the Naruto army, succeeding for most parts, even though they took a few hits.
By the time they defeated the army of shadow clones, their confidence had taken a hit, hearing Sasuke's voice, "You seem a bit decent. It really might be a workout."
Boruto tightly held the kunai, seeing Sasuke and Sakura standing behind Naruto, as a team, "I am going to beat them."
He had already taken a hit but seeing them stand a team just motivated them even more.
"Hm," Mitsuki looked at the three, fixing his eyes on Sakura, "I guess we should start with taking the weak one out fight."
He blitzed over before anyone could say anything, using golden lightning, appearing behind Sakura, striking her down.
Sakura's health bar came down to zero, she wobbled, falling on her knees, "Sasuke...Naruto..."
""Sakura!!!!""
Mitsuki looked at them, falling beside Sakura, taking the kunai, "Easy..."
At one moment, he was about to finish them off, and the next, he felt a hit in his stomach, his body hurled through the air, striking against the tree. He fell down the ground, looking towards Naruto and Sasuke, covered in reddish and purple-black chakra respectively, "How..."
Naruto's eyes turned cat-like while curse marks spread through Sasuke's body, "How dare you hurt Sakura!"
"I have a bad feeling," Chocho took a step back.
On Tree Branch,
"Hmm, you chose the worst path possible," Guren smiled.
