Gentle Fist

"97... 98... 99... 100!"

*Thud*

" *pant* *pant*....ha~"

Boruto was now laying on the ground breathing heavily, he was sweating bullets while trying to stabilize his breathing.

Naruto and his family already departed from the Hyuga estate after having their breakfast.

Boruto got up and went inside, He unwrapped his scarf and placed it on the sofa, he then went upstairs to freshen up.

After bathing in hot water, he put on his clothes, which were a pink half-sleeved t-shirt and casual black pants.

"Boruto! Come downstairs, guests are waiting for you"

'For me?'

Boruto quickly dried his hair before heading downstairs, he walked inside the living hall and saw Sakura sitting on the sofa chatting with Hinata.

Near the Medical Nin stood a girl with black hair and red glasses, Boruto internally frowned after seeing her.

'Urgh, it's that girl Sarada'

For some reason Boruto found her very annoying...he doesn't exactly know what about her was making him irritated but...yeah.

"Hello Boruto, How are you"

Sakura asked as a smile grew on her face, Sarada just kept quiet and hid behind her.

"I'm fine, Sakura-San"

"That's good to hear"

Boruto took a seat near Hinata, right when Hinata was about to resume their conversation, the doorbell rang.

*Ring*

"Boruto, can you go check who it is?"

"...Sure"

Boruto hopped down from the sofa and made his way towards the front door, he took a small stool from the corner of the hall and opened the door as he stood on the stool.

He didn't even get a chance to blink as his vision went blank, he felt two palms on on-top of his eyes.

"Guess who it is~"

"Big sis? What're you doing here?"

"Bingo!"

Hanabi withdrew her arm, Boruto got down from the stool and closed the door, before he could utter a word, his arm was pulled by Hanabi.

She dragged him toward the living hall and stood in front of Hinata.

"Big sis Hinata, Father asked me to bring Boruto. So yeah, peace out"

"Bu-"

Before Hinata could even protest, Hanabi Body flickered while carrying Boruto, The Hyuga Princess sighed at her younger sister's actions.

[A few moments later]

"We're here"

'I can see that'

Hanabi placed him down and gestured for him to enter the main gate, Boruto nodded and went inside.

He saw Hiashi in the middle of the front yard, Hiashi instantly appeared in front of him, the latter unconsciously took a step back.

"Boruto...do you want to learn the way of the gentle fist?"

'Finally! I get to train'

Boruto nodded at his words, Hiashi began walking towards the training hall inside the building.

Hanabi also went inside, she picked a GI that was fit for his size and tossed it toward Boruto.

The blonde grabbed it and went towards the changing room, He walked back inside the training hall while wearing the outfit.

Hiashi nodded before taking a stance, Boruto tightened the belt around his before he also took a stance.

'What a sloppy stance'

Hiashi internaly chuckled, but he quickly dispersed his thoughts when he saw Boruto body Flicker to his blind-spot.

Hiashi slightly bend his neck dodging the incoming kick, The veteran Ninja grabbed his leg and tossed him away.

"Gentle fist...not Gentle kick, Boruto"

"My mistake"

Boruto bowed, He again took his stance before body-flickering in front of Hiashi, he kicked the ground to lift himself in the air to deliver a palm strike towards Hiashi's chest.

Hiashi, however, didn't dodge the strike, he swiftly moved his dorsal side and deflected Boruto's strike by hitting his wrist.

While Boruto was in mid-air, Hiashi spun at 360° and delivered a palm strike right in his abdomen.

*Gasp*

Boruto spat out a mouth full of salvia before gasping a mouthful of air, he got launched back and hit the wall behind him.

"Urgh"

A grunt escaped his mouth, but he suppressed it and slowly got up from his position, he was not going to give up at the beginning itself!

'That hurt!'

Boruto smirked while keeping his head down, his smirk vanished, and again took his stance.

"Good...but, it'll only get tougher from now"

Boruto nodded at Hiashi's word, the latter internally smiled with a tinge of satisfaction.

**

[2 hours later]

'Where am I?'

Boruto slowly opened his eyes just to see Hanabi sitting beside him, and a medical Nin healing his leg.

"You're awake!"

Hanabi beamed at him, Boruto asked several questions and Hanabi answered all of them.

'So I passed out from exhaustion huh'

Boruto again looked at the medical-nin, something clicked in his mind.

'I should learn medical Ninjutsu, if it can stitch ripped organs and bones, the opposite can be applied to'

He concluded in his mind before closing his eyes, Hanabi seeing his tired expression got up and went out of the room.

Hanabi didn't want to disturb him, she went towards the training hall, The young Hyuga entered the room and saw Hiashi sipping on tea.

"Father...don't you think you went a little too overboard?"

Hiashi halted, he took a deep breath before shaking his head.

"You won't understand the drive of the boy...I know, so...I recommend you don't discuss about this topic"

"Fath-"

"Hanabi!"

Hiashi activated his byakugan and firmly glanced at Hanabi, she shut her mouth and nodded.

She went towards the exit, but before Hanabi stepped outside she muttered something which made Hiashi frown.

"I won't, but...if he seriously gets injured, I'll immediately inform big sis, no matter what you say"

Her voice was firm, Hiashi sighed when he saw her leaving the room, he put down his cup of tea before closing his eyes.

'Is this the right decision?'

Those words echoed through his mind multiple times. Hiashi knew the cruelty of the world.

'I am sure I'll blame myself if something happens to him... His training would make him a strong individual that will help him survive'

The Hyuga patriarch knew that dangers may fall on young Boruto, he also knew the look in his eyes... Those eyes that carve for battle.

'I will help you get strong... Good luck in your journey ahead my Grandson, never give up no matter what'
