Chương 52: Chapter 52: The Art of Jumping Part 1

The atmosphere in the fighting arena turned chaotic as the two pale-skinned men descended, causing panic among the spectators. Sensing the urgency of the situation, Boruto leaped down into the arena, his voice resonating with authority.

"Everyone, clear the arena!" he shouted, his voice booming through the chaos.

Boruto's presence surprised his friends, who were taken aback even more when they realized how much he had grown since they last saw him. Metal, in a state of shock, couldn't believe his eyes as he witnessed Boruto's return.

"Metal, leave this to me and Tou-san. You're not strong enough yet," Boruto declared, his tone firm.

"What? I can help!" Metal protested.

"No, you need to stay safe. Go back," Boruto insisted.

Metal clenched his teeth, reluctantly accepting Boruto's words. "Fine, just don't get yourself killed," he muttered before quickly making his way out of the arena.

Though not everyone heeded Boruto's warning, some of the crowd started to evacuate. Boruto activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his gaze piercing through the remaining spectators as he shouted, "I said, get out of the arena, you dumbass!"

Finally, the remaining audience members hurriedly left the stadium, realizing the severity of the situation. Rock Lee joined Naruto and Boruto's side, ready to face the impending threat.

"Boruto, are they connected to Otsutsuki Kaguya?" Naruto asked, preparing himself for battle.

"Yes, and we have to give it our all," Boruto replied, his eyes locked with Naruto's and Rock Lee's.

As the crowd evacuated at an accelerated pace, the Kages and Kakashi also descended into the arena, ready to lend their support. Meanwhile, other shinobi swiftly guided the remaining spectators, including the young Genin, to safety outside the stadium.

"I've finally found you," the shorter pale man declared, his gaze fixed on Naruto.

Just then, Sasuke arrived at the fighting arena, standing beside Naruto.

"We're going to jump them," Boruto announced, determination evident in his voice.

As chaos erupted in the fighting arena, a group of shinobi, including Ino, Temari, Sakura, and Hinata, made the difficult decision to prioritize the safety of their children and evacuate them first. Understanding the gravity of the situation, they swiftly ushered their young ones to safety, guiding them away from the unfolding danger.

With heavy hearts, they left the arena, their thoughts consumed by the well-being of their loved ones. Though absent from the immediate battle, their bravery and selflessness remained unwavering as they ensured the safety of the next generation of shinobi.

In the midst of the chaotic fighting arena, a formidable group of shinobi stood united against the two pale men. Among them were Boruto, Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Chojuro, Darui, Kurotsuchi, Kakashi, and Rock Lee, forming a circle around their adversaries.

Sasuke leaned in and whispered to Naruto, his voice filled with recognition, "It's them, the ones I encountered in Kaguya's realm."

Naruto nodded in understanding, acknowledging the significance of their presence. With a shared understanding, they prepared themselves for the impending battle.

Meanwhile, Boruto discreetly whispered to Rock Lee, strategizing their next move. "Throw off the weight you're wearing as a distraction, and let's unleash a powerful one-two combo. We can't hold back against these guys; we have to eliminate them."

"Yosh!" Rock Lee responded with determination, fully embracing Boruto's plan as he readied himself to discard the weight.

In the center of the confrontation, Naruto directly addressed the two pale men, his voice laced with curiosity and a hint of caution. "Who are you?" he demanded to know.

The shorter pale-skinned man introduced himself as Otsutsuki Momoshiki, while the taller figure beside him revealed his identity as Otsutsuki Kinshiki, the guardian of Momoshiki.

As the tension escalated, Rock Lee keenly observed Boruto's subtle eye signal, indicating it was time to strike. Without hesitation, he tapped into the power of the Seventh Gate, his body surging with an overwhelming surge of chakra. With a resounding battle cry, he launched himself towards Momoshiki, executing his signature move, "Dynamic Entry," delivering a powerful kick directly to the face of his adversary.

The unexpected attack left everyone in the vicinity astonished, their eyes widening in disbelief. However, before Momoshiki could fully recover from the impact, Boruto swiftly appeared behind him, taking advantage of the momentary distraction. With lightning-fast reflexes, Boruto's skin turned a fiery red, emanating steam as he too tapped into the power of the Seventh Gate.

"Thank you, Gon," Boruto expressed his gratitude, adopting the same iconic stance as Gon when preparing to unleash his Rock Paper Scissors attack. The air around Boruto crackled with an intense energy as dark chakra gathered in his hand, engulfing it in a fiery black aura.

As Momoshiki closed in, Boruto unleashed a devastating straight right punch, aiming directly for his opponent's back of the head. However, in a split second, Kinshiki appeared, conjuring a formidable chakra axe to intercept the incoming strike. The clash of forces reverberated throughout the arena, but to everyone's surprise, Boruto's punch effortlessly tore through the chakra axe, sending both Momoshiki and Kinshiki hurtling through the air.

Regaining their bearings, the Otsutsuki duo activated their own Byakugan, their piercing gaze now focused and determined.

As the Otsutsuki duo activated their Byakugan, their eyes scanning the battlefield with precision, they suddenly found themselves caught off guard by an unexpected aerial assault. In a display of synchronized teamwork, Boruto and Rock Lee descended from the sky, their faces adorned with mischievous grins. With lightning-fast reflexes, they launched simultaneous downward kicks towards their respective targets. Boruto aimed his kick directly at Momoshiki, while Rock Lee targeted Kinshiki.

"Tenma Geri! (Heavenly Demon Kick!)" they exclaimed in unison, their kicks infused with raw power and determination. However, the Otsutsuki warriors managed to evade the attacks, rolling away just in time to avoid the full impact.

Despite missing their intended targets, the sheer force of Boruto and Rock Lee's kicks caused a seismic disturbance. The ground trembled beneath them, the impact shattering the platform they stood on and creating a massive crater in its wake. The destructive power of their kicks reverberated throughout the arena, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their path.

Realizing the opportunity at hand, Boruto's voice rang out with determination, urging his comrades to take advantage of the situation. "What are you guys doing? Jump them!" he exclaimed, his words echoing with a sense of urgency. The time for hesitation was over, and it was now up to the united shinobi forces to seize the moment and unleash their full might upon the Otsutsuki adversaries.

The citizens of the village, their hearts filled with hope and concern, felt the unmistakable rumble of the earthquake. With bated breath, they held onto the belief that their beloved Hokage and the others fighting alongside him would emerge victorious.

As the tension reached its peak, Kurama's voice resonated within Naruto's mind, urging him to take action. "Let's go, your son has given the signal," Kurama said, his words fueling Naruto's determination. With a resolute nod, Naruto activated his Six Path Sage Mode, his eyes glowing with a newfound power. Sensing the urgency, he swiftly made his way towards Momoshiki, who was dangerously close.

Sasuke, followed Naruto's lead, his Sharingan ablaze with intensity. Together, they formed an unstoppable force, their combined strength a testament to their unwavering resolve.

Meanwhile, Gaara, the Kazekage, utilized his mastery over sand to swiftly restrict the movements of the Otsutsuki, effectively immobilizing their legs. With his sand acting as an impenetrable barrier, he ensured that the Otsutsuki would not escape their impending fate.

Not far behind, a team of seasoned shinobi consisting of Kakashi, Darui, Kurotsuchi, and Chojuro, coordinated their efforts to confront Kinshiki. The effects of the powered-up Dark Chakra attack to Kinshiki's face were evident, as his condition deteriorated rapidly. The corruption and poison coursing through his body began to take its toll, causing his movements to slow down, his strength waning with each passing moment.

Boruto and Rock Lee, having successfully executed their previous attacks, exchanged a triumphant high-five, their spirits soaring with adrenaline-fueled excitement. With a shared understanding, Boruto dashed towards Momoshiki, his determination burning bright. Simultaneously, Rock Lee, fueled by his unwavering determination, charged towards Kinshiki, ready to deliver a final blow.

As Momoshiki attempted to absorb the surrounding sand, a sudden sensation overcame him. It was as if an unseen force, something beyond the sand itself, was restricting his movements. His entire body became immobilized, his desperate struggle to break free proving futile against this mysterious power.

Seizing the opportunity, Boruto tapped into the immense power of his EMS left eye, activating its unique ability. With a determined gaze, he unleashed a wave of energy that halted Momoshiki's actions, freezing him in place. Sensing an opening, Naruto swiftly arrived in front of Momoshiki, his Six Path Sage Mode ablaze. With a primal roar, he unleashed a barrage of punches, his right hand and Kurama Chakra-infused hand striking Momoshiki with unrelenting force.

In a seamless display of teamwork, Sasuke, wielding Chidori in his hand, utilized his Rinnegan to teleport with precision. In a flash of lightning, he switched places with Boruto, positioning himself directly in front of Momoshiki. With lightning crackling around him, Sasuke unleashed the full force of his Chidori, the electrifying attack surging through Momoshiki's body.

The battle raged on, with no end in sight. However, Boruto, driven by an overwhelming surge of dark chakra, tapped into the depths of his power. As he did, a remarkable transformation overtook his entire being. His body, battered and broken, began to repair itself and grow stronger with each passing moment.

With unwavering determination etched upon his face, Boruto uttered the words that would unleash his ultimate strength: "Hachimon Tonko: Shimon! (Eight Gates Open: Gate of Death)" The very air crackled with an electrifying energy, as if the world itself held its breath in anticipation.

In an instant, Boruto's physical form underwent a drastic metamorphosis. The veins on his body and arms surged to the surface, pulsating with the sheer force of his crimson chakra. The once familiar contours of his face and body were now marked by these prominent veins, a testament to the immense power coursing through his being. His entire being radiated a powerful aura, a scorching blaze of red-hot energy that seemed to consume the space around him.

But Boruto's transformation didn't stop there. Drawing upon the power of the Byakugo seal, a mystical and intricate red tattoo-like pattern emerged, adorning his body and face. This ancient seal, pulsating with its own enigmatic power, bestowed upon him an even greater reservoir of strength and resilience.

A crimson, dark aura enveloped his entire form, emanating an aura of undeniable ferocity. Every muscle in his body was now honed to perfection, granting him unparalleled strength and speed.

As Boruto surveyed the battlefield, his eyes burning with determination, he proclaimed, "It's time." These words echoed with a resolute conviction, a testament to his unwavering resolve to emerge victorious.

In that moment, Boruto stood as a formidable force, a living embodiment of raw power and unyielding will.
