—Uchiha Flame Formation!
Chapter 76 Snow vs. Boruto [Scientific Ninja Tool: Budweiser] (Part 2)
Boruto the Purple Lightning (Image unrelated to the text)
A dark red flame array climbed up the walls of the four stands of the examination venue amidst the astonished gazes of Boruto and countless others!
Looking at the sky peeking out from the top of the barrier, Xue thought: The barrier can't be sealed off, otherwise, Father and Master won't be able to see my performance, and they won't be able to correct my shortcomings after the battle.
"Uchiha Fire Formation!?" Naruto suddenly stood up.
My thoughts were instantly pulled back to fifteen years ago, to that deadly battle under the blood moon.
The Uchiha Flame Formation was a protective barrier created by Obito Uchiha to ensure the resurrection of the Ten-Tails. The strength of that barrier far exceeded that of the Four Purple Flame Formation, and it was even able to withstand the combined bombardment of the Eight-Tails Gyūki and the Nine-Tails Kurama's Tailed Beast Balls without suffering any damage!
"Whoosh!" Even Sasuke, who was watching the battle from the other stands, could no longer remain calm.
He landed beside Naruto and said sternly, "That's a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan. The girl who can master it is no ordinary person! Naruto! Stop this fight immediately! Then find out her background!"
"No." Naruto clenched his fist after calming down.
"Judging from what we just saw, the girl activated this barrier to protect the stands from Boruto's attack!"
"And Sasuke, did you see that girl's eyes? She was taking this battle seriously. Faced with Boruto's obvious foul play, she not only didn't stop him, but also chose to retaliate against him with her true strength."
"Just because of her respect for the fight, we can't stop this match!"
"However," Naruto's tone shifted, his expression turning serious and unyielding, "Boruto Uzumaki is disqualified from the competition for using prohibited ninja tools! Regardless of the final outcome of this match, the winner will be that girl named Yuki!"
"As for Xue's background and this Dark Hidden Village, which clearly has an unusual origin, we can investigate them after the exam!"
The commotion in the stands did not affect Xue, who was fully focused on the battle.
From a tactical perspective, she offered Boruto sound advice: "That scientific ninja tool is indeed powerful, but its flaws are too obvious."
"If you want to hit a flexible opponent on an open battlefield, you should prioritize binding the opponent's movements."
Words cannot describe the shock Boruto felt at that moment.
He felt utterly ugly compared to the powerful and open-hearted girl in front of him.
But once you start cheating, there's no going back.
If he pulls back from the brink now, he'll be the clown of clowns.
Boruto thought to himself: I've gone so far, and Dad hasn't come down to stop me. It seems he tacitly approves of me using scientific ninja tools to continue fighting.
Honestly, Dad, I wish you could stop me right now.
Then, as always, he lectured me.
Even I am keenly aware that my current demeanor hardly befits that of a ninja.
Boruto raised his hand, took off the headband that symbolized his identity as a Konoha ninja, tied it up, and put it in his pocket.
Xue asked, slightly surprised, "What does this mean?"
Boruto said, "It's nothing. From now on, I won't fight you as a Konoha ninja, but as a son who will do whatever it takes to get justice for my father!"
"Whoosh!" Boruto activated the scientific ninja tool.
A circular array of shadows took shape without warning at the foot of the snow.
Xue lowered her eyes: "Oh, I can't move."
Boruto said, "This is a Shadow Binding Technique released by a Jonin of the Nara clan. You happened to be standing in the shadow of the field, so you couldn't dodge it. The special release method of scientific ninja tools also means that I don't need to use my own shadow to use this technique like the Nara clan."
"Yuki, oh, I should call you Uchiha Yuki. Thank you for reminding me earlier, letting me know how to use scientific ninja tools more effectively. Although you are strong, this is a move you can't break free from."
"and then?"
"You can't move anymore. I'll just use any move to blow you off the field."
6. Boruto flicked out another miniature scroll and held it in his hand.
"Ah, so it's this move?" Boruto was surprised by the scroll that popped up randomly this time... it just so happened to be this one.
"Crack!" He gripped the scroll tightly, triggering the 'ninjutsu' within.
"Crackling!" Purple lightning condensed into a lightning bolt on his right palm!
Xue's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's actually Father's specialty, 'Purple Lightning'!"
Boruto looked at the dazzling purple lightning in his palm, then looked up at Yuki, "You have the Sharingan, you should be able to see how powerful this move is, right?"
Xue calmly said, "The power of ninjutsu depends more on the person using it."
Boruto shook his head and laughed, "I've heard similar things countless times since I was a child. You can't even move now, you can't even form hand seals to activate ninjutsu, how are you going to fight against me wielding purple lightning?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot, you have the same Sharingan as Sarada, so I have to be extra careful about the genjutsu you cast with your Sharingan."
As Boruto spoke, he actually closed his eyes.
"I've memorized the distance between us. I'm going to rush over and attack you with my purple lightning right now. If you surrender before I'm pierced through, I'll stop."
Xue countered, "What if I don't?"
"I said I have reasons why I can't stop here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Boruto charged towards the snow!
Every step felt like a countdown to a crucial decision!
And so, Uchiha Yuki closed her eyes!
My thoughts drifted back to the night five days ago.
She hid in the back mountains and successfully unleashed the Uchiha Fire Formation.
Ban then appeared and formally accepted her as his apprentice.
After the apprenticeship ceremony was performed.
Madara's palm enveloped her head, injecting a powerful surge of chakra into it!
After that power was injected, Xue's entire body became paralyzed, and she was almost unable to move on the spot.
"Yuki, I bestow upon you the [Yang Seal], which I have refined from my own chakra, Hashirama's chakra, and Sage Mode chakra, as a gift for your apprenticeship."
"But the Yang Seal can only truly manifest after your own power adapts to our power."
"Of course, whether you can achieve that depends on your own capacity. If you succeed, that power will become yours permanently; if you fail, it will dissipate."
At this moment, heat surged up in the chakra channels, and Xue's face changed accordingly!
"The makeup Aunt Samui did for me has smudged..."
"I guess I'm just not suited for makeup."
Xue raised her hand, tied her hair up from her collar, loosened the hair tie, and let her cascading black hair fall loose.
In the Shadow Stand, Naruto, lost in thought, muttered, "That face..."
"Zzz!" The moment Yuki opened her Sharingan again, a deep red diamond-shaped mark appeared prominently between her eyebrows.
"Beautiful~." Madara's lips curled into a domineering smile: "As long as the Yang Seal is revealed, it doesn't need to be broken, which means that Xue, you are already able to control that person's power!"
The venue echoed with Tono Kazusuke's passionate shouts through a megaphone: "What you are about to see is a famous scene created by the scientific ninja tools I invented!"
"Boom!" A powerful chakra storm caused Xue's black hair to fly upside down!
"Whoosh!" The Shadow Binding beneath her feet also crumbled on its own under the overwhelming burst of chakra!
"Ughhh!" Boruto, who was charging towards Yuki with his purple lightning, was blown away!
"Boruto Uzumaki, you used Father's 'Purple Lightning,' so I must return the favor in kind!"
His snow-black hair was disheveled, his expression solemn, and his hands were clasped together in front of his chest.
—Wood Release: The World of Flower Trees Descends!
Chapter 77 Snow vs. Boruto [Scientific Ninja Tool: Budweiser] (Part 3)
Boruto, who had just gotten up after being thrown back by the chakra storm, was stunned by Yuki's true appearance. "She looks different!?"
"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, the earth shook, and hundreds of trees were uprooted. Their roots spread out and grew wildly like seaweed, or like giant pythons, instantly turning the Chunin Exams venue into a sea of trees!
The swaying shadows of the trees concealed the snow's form.
"What is this! What is this! And what exactly are you?!"
Boruto's questioning roar was also drowned out by the resounding boom of the giant tree advancing!
"Wood Release!?" The five Kage in the Shadow Stand jumped up in shock!
Naruto braced his hands on the table, staring intently at Yuki's plain face on the field, which overlapped with the smiling face of the girl in the family photo he had seen at the Chen family that day!
His pupils contracted sharply: "That face, there's no mistake! It's her! It's his child!"
The Kage had never seen Naruto so out of control before!
Darui asked, "Who is he?"
"Uchiha Chen." Sasuke clenched his one hand tightly and gritted his teeth as he said the name for Naruto.
“Uchiha Chen?” Darui suddenly realized, “Ah! That night you came to Kumogakure specifically to ask me about him, could it be that…”
Sasuke said with a deep gaze, "There's no time for further explanation. Listen, Kage, not long ago, Naruto and I were defeated by Uchiha Chen!"
Chojuro exclaimed incredulously, "What!? The two of you were defeated by that Uchiha Chen together? Are you sure?!"
Sasuke had no time to recount the defeat again. He said, "We've seen the photos of him with his family, and we can confirm that the girl releasing the Advent of the Tree World is Uchiha Chen's daughter!"
"Coo coo coo!" Sasuke watched as bizarrely beautiful flower buds sprouted from the tree trunk, a ridiculous smile spreading across his face. "No, is this the Flower Tree World?"
"Never mind that, take her down right now!" Just as Sasuke was about to go forward, a hand forcefully pressed down on his shoulder!
Turning his head, he saw Naruto's restrained expression.
"Naruto, you..."
Naruto said in a low voice, "The grudges between adults have nothing to do with children! Whatever Uchiha Chen's intentions were in sending his daughter to participate in the Chunin Exams, it's a matter between us and him!"
"Unless there is direct evidence that the girl was also involved in what he did, we have no reason to take action against her!"
Sasuke clenched his fists. "But, Boruto..."
Naruto gave a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, no father would stand by and watch his child die. If that girl really tries to kill Boruto, I'll stop her!"
Chen watched from afar as Naruto and Sasuke interacted. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could guess the gist of it.
Naruto, based on your principles, I will give you an opportunity soon, although it may be a little painful.
At this moment, Chen withdrew his gaze, turned to the horizon, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Madara, Obito, have you noticed?"
"Ah, it's crystal clear."
"What was bound to happen has finally happened."
"It seems we need to end this role-playing game."
Dust's left eye, the Eternal Kaleidoscope, suddenly shone with a vermilion light.
"Guang, if we don't come back on time, take the children back to Taoyuan first."
—Bo Er Ye Xu.
The magnificent and wildly growing tree boundary on the field attracted the attention of everyone in the stands. No one noticed that three figures had vanished from the guest seats.
Guang gently rubbed Xiaoyue's head as she slept nestled on his knees and said, "The men are busy again~."
Samui rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and said, "It's at times like these that the women behind them are put to the test."
But honestly, sometimes I really want to cut off those two lumps of flesh that are in the way and burn them for Jin, so he can have a taste even in the afterlife...
"Awoooooo! I, Boruto Uzumaki, will never give up!"
The Flower Tree Realm descended, but Boruto did not give up. He roared and swung his Purple Lightning, hacking at the wildly growing trees!
This technique was evolved from Kakashi Hatake's mastery of the Lightning Blade after losing his Sharingan. It was even studied by Chen as a super S-rank Lightning Release technique. It has become Boruto's only lifeline in the face of the Tree World's destruction!
Yuki sat on a tree trunk fifty meters in the air, watching Boruto dance with lightning amidst the swaying shadows of the trees.
While it was funny, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
