Boruto formed a hand seal and unleashed Shadow Clones, charging at Hikari.
With just a flick of several Shuriken, Hikari wiped out all of Boruto's Shadow Clones.
Sarada activated her Sharingan, gripped a Kunai, and stabbed toward Hikari's shadow.
Sarada had awakened her Sharingan in a very unusual way.

For a civilian to dare meet an emperor's gaze was to court death!
Hikari did not kill Sarada, merely casting an Illusion
