Boruto successfully tapped into Momoshiki's power and knocked aside the fishhook Urashiki had flung at him. Then he grabbed Shinki and Shukaku and ran. What a joke-there was no way they could beat him.
Urashiki was rather baffled by the blue-black marking around Boruto's right eye.
"You're awfully petty, Senior Momo."
