The arena fell silent, and Iwabee slowly approached the stone pillar erected on the platform, implying that Boruto could only be hiding there.
To guard against a sneak attack from Boruto, Iwabee went straight to the top of the stone pillar. Two more steps and he would have a full view of what was behind it.
Just then, Iwabee, who was about to look down, suddenly flew backward, falling directly from the top of the stone pillar.
The audience: ???
"Could it be Boruto who made the move?"
From this angle, because Iwabee had his back to them, they couldn't see a frontal attack.
"Damn it."
Iwabee cursed softly, quickly regaining his balance, and focused chakra on his feet to stick to the side of the stone pillar.
"Huh???" Denki looked puzzled.
"Don't make such a fuss. Iwabee is two levels higher than us anyway. It's not strange that he can stand on a vertical surface."
Shikadai, standing next to him, acted as a live commentator.
"Then Iwabee..."
"It should be Boruto who made the move, although I don't know how he climbed up such a high stone pillar."
For a long time, the audience didn't see the figure they were expecting on top of the stone pillar, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Could it be that Boruto is planning another sneak attack? Will Iwabee cooperate with him?
In fact, Iwabee really did jump back to the top of the stone pillar, because he didn't even know how he was knocked down just now!
At this moment, smoke once again filled the area where Iwabee was.
Iwabee immediately adopted a battle stance, ready to guard against Boruto's sneak attack.
At the same time, he provoked, "Hey, are you just going to be a turtle hiding in its shell forever?"
Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the smoke, as if something was flying towards Iwabee, but it was impossible to see what it was.
Wind Release? Iwabee guessed in his mind.
A tiny Rasengan struck Iwabee's abdomen accurately. Compared to the previous failed attempt, this Rasengan was almost identical to a normal Rasengan in terms of shape and power, only its size was as small as in the original story.
Iwabee's body was quickly knocked down in the smoke. Iwabee, not knowing what was going on, only felt like he had been punched hard, but he didn't catch sight of Boruto's figure.
What's going on? Iwabee's brain was a little confused.
"It's a new ninjutsu I learned." Boruto's familiar voice came from the top of the stone pillar.
Everyone's eyes turned to the top of the stone pillar, where a sweaty Boruto was standing with a confident smile.
The audience thought: Just as expected!
"Want to continue? Iwabee."
Standing high up, Boruto looked down at Iwabee, who was lying flat on the ground, and said loudly.
"Don't get carried away, you little brat who only knows how to play tricks!" Iwabee roared as he got up, and then quickly ran backwards.
"Oh?"
"Be careful, Boruto, he's going to get his weapon back!" Denki shouted, reminding the unmoved Boruto.
"Alright then, in that case, I can only launch another Rasengan. You have to see it clearly this time!" Boruto warned.
Iwabee's strength instantly increased several levels after retrieving his weapon. Some of his ninjutsu seemed to require the long iron rod in his hand to perform. (It seems to be like this in the original story)
Boruto didn't waste any time and quickly created a ping-pong ball-sized Rasengan with one hand, then threw it directly at Iwabee.
Seeing this, Iwabee was just about to erect an Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to block it, but he saw that the Rasengan disappeared in mid-air.
Uh... He was a little confused for a moment, hesitating whether to defend or not.
Iwabee was suddenly shocked. A familiar force struck Iwabee's abdomen directly, and even his clothes were torn apart by the Rasengan's rotational force.
"Nani?!!!"
Everyone was stunned, seeming to recall that Iwabee had been knocked away like this before.
"So that's it, a disappearing ninjutsu. Boruto, what exactly are you..." Shikadai was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Boruto, he shouldn't have such a ninjutsu.
"Okay, now it's my show!"
Boruto said, jumping down from the stone pillar. In mid-air, he formed hand seals, "Shadow Clone Technique!"
Iwabee, who had just been beaten into a daze, saw Boruto approaching and grinned while gripping the long iron rod in his hand. He condensed a hammer-like shape from the ground and swung it, smashing it into the ground and triggering the previous Earth Flow River!
"That's useless, I won't fall for the same attack twice!"
Boruto's Shadow Clone pulled the real Boruto aside, skillfully avoiding the Earth Flow, and then stepped forward to charge at Iwabee.
"Enough nonsense!" Iwabee shouted.
Saying that, he raised the hammer again and released the Earth Flow River to attack Boruto.
Well, with my chakra reserves, I can only try the compressed Rasengan that Boruto used in the original story, Boruto thought to himself.
While thinking, Boruto's footsteps never stopped, circling around Iwabee, the remaining three Shadow Clones each forming a glowing blue Rasengan in their hands.
"Not that trick again, I won't fall for it this time!" Iwabee immediately sneered, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Four earth walls instantly rose up around him, shielding Iwabee's figure.
"This gives me just enough time, after all, I just learned the Rasengan, and this is my first time trying to compress it!"
The three Shadow Clones shattered in response, and the Rasengan in Boruto's hand immediately grew larger, then quickly shrank to the size of a marble, but became even brighter.
In the original story, the power of the compressed Rasengan could easily destroy large rocks, and Boruto only needed to break one earth wall to hit Iwabee, so the outcome was obvious.
Boom--!!
In Iwabee's moment of surprise, the compressed chakra exploded, and a huge impact struck Iwabee.
"Crap!"
At this moment, Shino, who had already arrived on the platform, saw this and instantly appeared, controlling insects to block in front of Iwabee.
Iwabee was only blown away by the burst of air, without suffering too much damage.
After doing all this, while everyone's attention on the platform was focused on Iwabee, Boruto immediately created a Shadow Clone and fled the scene, leaving the aftermath to the Shadow Clone.
Moreover, according to the information transmitted back by the Shadow Clone, only that person seemed to be able to trigger the Jōgan during the battle.
After a great battle, and a sustained consumption of chakra and stamina, the real Boruto secretly ran to a park bench and slowly fell asleep.
Moon.
Light and shadow slanted across the empty room, and a few rays of light shone in front of Boruto, allowing him to barely see the environment he was in.
"I am speaking to you through a dream," someone said from the darkness.
Toneri, is it? Boruto wasn't surprised at all.
Currently, the only one who knows he possesses the Jōgan is Toneri Ōtsutsuki, the descendant of Hamura on the Moon!
The previous Shadow Clone had automatically triggered the Jōgan, which made Boruto react quickly, and only Toneri had any understanding of his eyes, so this was also the reason Boruto chose to sleep after the fight.
"Ah, I have a lot of questions to ask you too," Boruto said calmly.
"Boruto Uzumaki, your eyes are the star of hope for the coming destruction!" Toneri said, floating in front of Boruto.
"Your body sleeps with the power of hope, and you will bear the fate of the world with these eyes!"
Through the strange, colorful light blue, Boruto seemed to vaguely see those scarlet eyes - Nue's eyes.
"Your eyes will guide you, using light to dispel darkness," Toneri said to himself.
"Wait," Boruto suddenly interrupted Toneri, "Let's meet, on the Moon."
Toneri: ???
Looking at the young man's confident brilliance, Toneri was stunned for a moment.
"Before long, I will personally come to the Moon to find you!" Boruto said calmly.
"You..."
Toneri was still in a daze. Did Naruto tell Boruto about his affairs as a bedtime story?
"Well, you said my eyes can predict the future, right? I foresaw your arrival in advance, and I also know what happened to you on the Moon, but that has nothing to do with me."
Boruto narrated indifferently, then his gaze suddenly became much more serious, and he spoke surprisingly: "All I need is information about the awakening of the Tenseigan!"
Toneri: ?!!!
Is the Jōgan that awesome? I haven't used it, don't lie to me!
After hesitating again and again, Toneri nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The mist dissipated, and the dream ended.
When he opened his eyes, it was already night. Looking at the moonlight in the starry sky, Boruto had already drafted a plan. His grand goal, the beginning of everything, would begin with the awakening of that powerful eye.
The Tenseigan is definitely not inferior to the Rinnegan!
