Chapter 43

Uncle Choji, Chocho, and I went inside the academy. We went directly towards the ground where the Welcome Ceremony starts.

" Inojin, here. " I said while waving hands at him. He came towards me and said. " Yo Boruto, how have you been. It's been one month since we saw each other. "

" Yeah, I was practicing a new Jutsu dad taught me. " I said while he made a smile a said. " You too! My dad taught me Super Beast Scroll. But I am not still proficient in it. What about you? "

" Bahhh... you boys always talk about Jutsus and Games," said Chocho at the side, eating chips with a bored expression. " Umm... Chocho we are joining Ninja Course. Of course, we would talk about these things. "

" Whatever," she said and continued eating her chips. ' Girls are hard to understand. ' I thought while looking at her.

After that, everyone started coming to the ground. I talked with Shikadai and Sarada. Sarada's looking at me as if I killed her dog or something.

It all started when I showed her my Shurikenjutsu. When I tried to talk to her, she outright ignored me.

So, I went to her mother to ask what was wrong, and apparently, she made me her rival.

Well, I was very shocked to tell you the truth. But after that, I laughed as I got myself a tsundere on my back. But I feel bad even if Sarada trained harder than me, she would never surpass me.

Because I am a Cheat, and on top of that, I know the future and the past.

" Hey, Sarada, your mom said that you are constantly training these days. So what did you learn? " I asked as we're standing in line and waiting for the Hokage to give his speech.

She looked at me for a second and answered. " Nothing much, just Chakra control and Shurikenjutsu. What about you? "

" Same as you. " I said and thought. ' No way I am saying what I did. If I did, then you'll die from shock. '

She looked at me for a second and turned towards the other side. I talked with Shikadai and Inojin while Sarada was talking with Chocho. After some time, dad climbed on the stage and started greeting everyone.

After that, dad started to talk about the Will of Fire and how we should be proud to carry it. ' Well, I am not a fan of listening to these kinds of speeches. '

After 30 minutes, we are taken to the training ground to test our capabilities. " Now, everyone run through this obstacle course so we can determine your capabilities," said Anko Sensei.

' Wow, she sure is fat. Pity, she had a great body before. ' I thought while looking at Anko Sensei.

One by one, everyone was completing the obstacle course. " Sarada Uchiha. " when Anko Sensei said that name, Sarada went towards it and started clearing it.

The course consists of three stages, One is a high board, and the person has to jump over it. The next one is seven poles where the person must run side by side to clear it. The last one is just running towards the end line.

She completed it very fast. " So far, Sarada Uchiha is in the first place. " Anko Sensei said while looking at the students.

" Wow, she was so fast. " a boy said behind me.

" Is she our age? She was fast. " a girl said in front of me to another girl. One after the another was talking about her.

' It seems she trained hard in these three months. Her speed is equal to a mid-Academic level student, and to use that speed at the start of the academy. ' I thought while looking at her.

She turned back towards me and smirked at me. As if she is challenging me to beat her record.

" Hey, Boruto. Is it just me, or is Sarada trying to challenge you? " Shikadai said while looking at Sarada.

" What do you think I should do? " I asked as this guy might give me a better idea than what I think. " What do you mean what Should I do? Are you faster than her? "

" Umm... Yeah, but she trained like crazy in the last three months. I am afraid it would break her confidence. Aunt Sakura always tells me to take care of her. So I am a little hesitant. Should I complete the course faster or slower than her? " I asked as at first. I wanted to use Body Flickering Jutsu to end it in a second.

But now, seeing her like this. She is my friend, so I want only good things to happen for her.

" Finish the course it 10 seconds faster than her. She wouldn't feel that bad. Man, Girls are such a drag. " Shakidai said while putting his hand on my shoulder.

" Boruto Uzumaki. " Anko Sensai called my name. I went towards the starting point of the course. " Alright...3...2...1, Start. "

As soon as she said the word Start, I rushed towards the Obstacle course. Well, not rush but ran slowly to match a High-academic student-level speed.

I completed the course in a breeze. " Well, Well, Well, look like we have a new record here," said Anko while writing the score on the board.

" Wow, did you look at that? That guy was faster than that other girl. " said a boy.

" Didn't you know him? That guy is Boruto Uzumaki, the Hokage's son. " said a girl near him.

" Of course, the Hokage's son will be stronger than us. Look, he looks just like the Fourth Hokage like everyone says. "

I completed the course and stood at the place where other students were. ' Even after eight years, I can't help but to feel embarrassed when people talk like that. '
