Chapter 259 The Trial Begins
Before long, Boruto noticed something amiss. His ears twitched slightly as he heard an unusual sound coming from the waterfall ahead.
Boruto immediately opened his previously closed eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on the waterfall, piercing through the layers of mist.
In the rushing water, a blurry figure slowly emerged, blending into the real waterfall and appearing and disappearing.
As the figure gradually became clearer, Boruto realized that it was someone who looked exactly like him.
His facial features and physique were exactly the same as his, but the only difference was that his eyes emitted an unsettling scarlet light.
Boruto stared intently at the figure that looked exactly like himself. As he observed further, he noticed that the figure was shrouded in a faint black aura.
This aura, like a thin mist, swirled and rose and fell mysteriously with the surging of the waterfall, appearing and disappearing as if it might vanish at any moment, yet it was also as tangible as a physical entity.
......
While Boruto was immersed in his own mental world, confronting the mysterious figure, Motoi outside was watching Boruto intently from the center of the waterfall.
His brow furrowed slightly, forming a shallow furrow, as his mind raced with thoughts.
"Why is Killer Bee so insistent on making Boruto go through this trial?" Motoi murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on Boruto, not daring to look away for even a moment.
"Could this kid be hiding some unknown secret?"
The sudden decision to have Boruto try the real waterfall was not Motoi's spur-of-the-moment idea, but rather a suggestion made by Killer Bee after the group dispersed this afternoon.
For some reason, Killer Bee seemed to care a lot about Boruto, even more than Naruto, who was also a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast.
It was as if Boruto possessed some special quality that attracted him. This unusual attention surprised Motoi, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply followed Killer Bee's advice and arranged the trial.
Motoi had a vague feeling that Killer Bee's attention to Boruto was not just due to casual curiosity, but perhaps there was a deeper reason behind it. However, out of trust and respect for Killer Bee, Motoi chose not to investigate further.
Although Kirabi is not present at the moment, Motoi will later inform him of the details of what happened here.
......
In this unique space of consciousness formed by a real waterfall, as the water rushes down, Boruto is engaged in a fierce battle with the dark side deep within his heart.
Beneath the magnificent curtain of water from the waterfall, Boruto, in the shadows, stood silently, his fingers slowly gliding over the lightning sword that had materialized on the back of his hand.
As he moved his finger, Boruto in his dark side slowly drew a long sword gleaming with a cold light from the void.
The sword lay horizontally across his chest, its sharp blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
Boruto stared at the longsword he had summoned, and it was indeed exactly the same as his own. A thought suddenly struck him.
Boruto's shadowy form moved like a ghost, vanishing in the blink of an eye as a blurry shadow, appearing silently before Boruto almost instantly.
His speed was astonishing; the water surface in his path was instantly stirred up and burst open, and the powerful hurricane caused water to splash everywhere, forming a shimmering mist.
As he closed in on Boruto, he swung his sword without hesitation. However, Boruto reacted extremely quickly, ducking to dodge the sword as it flashed, the blade grazing his head.
Immediately afterwards, Boruto, in his darker side, tilted his sword and slashed down at Boruto, pressing forward relentlessly with no mercy in his attacks.
Boruto summoned a kunai from the Lightning Sword and almost simultaneously held it at his waist, preparing to block.
Just as the longsword clashed with the kunai, a crisp metallic clang rang out, and sparks flew like meteors, tracing brief paths in the air before quickly disappearing.
Boruto could feel the immense impact coming from the kunai.
Boruto, the dark side, continued to exert pressure, but the two were evenly matched, causing the longsword to gradually slide down the shape of the kunai, the sound of metal rubbing against metal sharp and piercing.
Just as Boruto's sword was about to slide to the tip of the kunai, he suddenly released his right hand, letting the kunai fall from his grasp.
Boruto, now free from the kunai's obstruction, swung his longsword down with ease. However, at that critical moment, he suddenly noticed the kunai that Boruto had discarded out of the corner of his eye.
As the kunai fell, a faint purple arc of electricity flashed across its surface. Although the arc was weak, it was still caught by Boruto's peripheral vision.
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion suddenly erupted between the two, and the powerful impact swept around them in an instant.
The explosion produced a burst of light like fireworks, accompanied by a deafening roar.
The shockwave spread rapidly outward from the point of explosion, creating huge waves on the surrounding water surface, with water splashing everywhere, and fire and water mingling together in the explosion.
Both Boruto and his dark side were knocked back by this powerful impact.
Amidst the thick smoke from the explosion, the crisp sound of clashing swords rang out again, echoing rapidly through the smoke.
Accompanied by flashing lights, the two figures appeared and disappeared in the smoke. After a moment of light and shadow intersecting, the two were pushed apart by each other's force, quickly creating distance between them.
Through the smoke, their figures gradually became clear, and they looked at each other.
Boruto seized the fleeting opportunity, drew out two more kunai, and flung them away almost instantly.
The two kunai flew through the air with a sharp gust of wind, heading straight for the vital points of the shadowy Boruto.
