The Ancient

"Dad, did you see that"

As soon as Boruto entered inside he decided ask about the creature, Naruto was sweating as he looked out of the window.

"...yeah, that's the ruler of the sea....Enenra....One of the seven elemental Creatures"

Naruto pulled out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Boruto, the latter opened the scroll.

His eyes slightly twitched after seeing the picture inside the scroll, it was the picture of the Enenra.

'Shit'

"Naruto"

A deep voice caught Boruto's attention, he looked at Naruto and saw something manifest out of his belly.

The manifested form was bright orange in colour, it also had black stripes running through it, and the shape resembled a fox. It was Kurama.

"I'll go talk to him"

Naruto nodded at his words, Kurama went outside the boat and started enlarging, Boruto witnessed this with amazement.

'I look like an ant'

Boruto inspected him and Kurama, the difference was too much, the former was about 110cm and the latter 300 Meters in height.

"Kurama"

"Yeah...isn't he scary"

Naruto chuckled as he placed his palm on Boruto's head.

"No...he's strong"

Boruto's answer made Naruto a bit surprised, he watched as his son kept his eyes glued on the humongous figure.

Kurama started walking towards the mist, his large footsteps made enormous tides, However, the boat wasn't harmed.

The bright orange chakra created a wall in front of them, protecting them from the waves.

Kurama stopped at a certain point, after a bit of time, a figure rose from the mist, it was 5 times larger than Kurama.

The figure had an ancient aura around it, Enenra looked down at Kurama, the latter felt pressure from it.

But Kurama didn't lower his head.

"Young... one...you may... speak"

The sheer pressure originated from the voice made Boruto kneel, his heart beat accelerated, his body trembled.

Blood leaked from his nose, every fibre of his being screamed with fear, his survival instincts told him to run away.

"Boruto!"

Naruto's eyes widened upon seeing this, he quickly neared Boruto and covered both of them with his chakra.

"Calm down...Nothing's gonna happen...just calm down"

Naruto could sense emotions, he could feel that Boruto was terrified by Enenra, it couldn't be helped, he wasn't a jinchuriki like him.

He tried his best to calm Boruto down, but the latter fell unconscious, he couldn't keep himself conscious.

He kept Boruto in his embrace, on the other side, Kurama was done talking to Enenra, the ancient creature merged with the mist.

Kurama returned back, he saw Naruto tightly holding Boruto in his arms.

"...Atleast he's alive...I didn't expect that guy to be here"

Naruto didn't respond, Kurama sighed and shook his head, he merged with Naruto.

A day passed after the events of Enenra, Boruto regained his consciousness, Naruto was worried if Boruto would be in trauma.

But to his surprise, Boruto's condition was perfectly fine, as if he forgot about all the events that happened.

Currently, Boruto was eating his breakfast, they were only 2 hours away from Kiri.

'...I'm so weak'

He was frustrated beyond reason, he took a deep breath and let it out, he calmed his mind before cleaning the Lunch box.

'I need to get strong...what if they decided to attack? What I would do then, Helplessly rely on others? Wait for someone to save me? No! I need power! I need the power to destroy them if they rebel...and the fact that there are 6 more of them, gives me shivers'

Naruto noticed Boruto's mood, but he decided that it would be best if he solved them by himself.

'I'll become an otsutsuki if necessary'

The resolve he had was nothing to be scoffed at, power is something that can change a person, by personality or anything else.

Some people's view of power may differ from another, but that doesn't mean that they'll stop pursuing it.

Some may rely on external help, some may rely on themselves, but a few does anything they can do to achieve it.

'Even if it takes me an eternity, I'll achieve it...even if it means I'll have to create a mountain of corpses'

Humans are fragile and weak, they are not strongest nor the smartest either, they fear the strong like any other.

But that fear can also be used as a fuel, a fuel for their burning ambition, those feelings can turn from a weakness to a dangerous weapon.

"We've arrived"
