Chapter 58

[ Sarada's P.O.V ]

' Finally, I will show him that I am stronger than him. ' I thought while looking at Boruto, who was standing with other boys of our class.

After a long argument between the girls and boys, today is the day we fight it out. Surprisingly our Sensei was the one who proposed to fight off each other, as he stated that the one who gets the flag on top of the school building wins.

Both boys and girls are standing opposite each other outside the school, waiting for Sensei to permit us to start.

' Frankly, I don't care any of this. I only want to fight Boruto. After defeating him, only after defeating him, I will be one step closer to becoming the Hokage as he is the strongest in our class. ' I thought while remembering the training I for the past few months.

I learned that I have both Fire and Lighting nature because I know Boruto has a Wind affinity, so I decided to learn Fire because it counters Wind.

I have to say, learning Nature Transformation is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Without Mom's help, I think it would have taken several months for me to learn it.

Mom also gave me Fireball Jutsu and Fire Phoenix Jutsu. I was only able to learn Fireball Jutsu, and also I can only perform it two times. Mom told me that it would take a year to master Nature Transformation. So I might consider myself a genius to master it in two months.

Mom did say that the Uchiha clan is famous for Fire release and is easy to learn because I have a very high affinity towards Fire.

Now that I have an ace upon my sleeves, I think I can beat Boruto with a surprise attack as he doesn't know that I would have mastered Fireball Jutsu.

" You will start from the gate and race to the top of the building. The one who gets the flag will win. The loser will listen to the winner, got that? " Shino-Sensei said.

" Yes " Everyone shouted. " Alright, now ready, set go! " Shino-sensei said and disappeared from his place.

All of us ran towards the gate Iwabee came in front and said. " Earth style: Mud wall!! " as soon as he said that, a mud wall appeared and blocked half of the entrance.

We stopped until Chocho came in front of the mud wall and smashed a huge hole through it knocking out Iwabee, who was behind the wall. " Aw, man... I used up unnecessary energy. "

All of us cheered and ran through the hole to chase the boys, who were in front of us.

As soon as we all went in, we saw that all the boys were blocking the school entrance, while Boruto, Shikadai, Inojin, Denki, and Hoki were missing.

' They must have gone forward inside while these guys are trying to stall us. ' I thought while looking at them. " You girls move forward. We can handle these guys. " A girl said, and some girls separated from us, leaving me, Chocho, President, Wasabi, and Namida.

" Thanks... Let's go. " I said to others as we went into the hall. On our way, we had confronted many traps, and after some time, we saw the other boys in front.

' It seems like they have stopped because of the iron door blocking their way. ' I thought as they were discussing something. " Shit, they're here. Just blast this door away. " Inojin shouted and threw paper bombs towards the iron door.

*BOOM*

The door blasted away, covering the whole hall with smoke. " Hey...the smoke is blocking the view. " " Catch them, don't let them go. " " I think I caught someone. "

I could hear everyone yelling, and everyone got jumbled from their formation, but with luck. I was able to make it to the entrance of the terrace.

As I was about to touch the door, a Kunai appeared out of nowhere and priced the door's keyhole. I moved to my right and evaded the second Kuni.

I looked at the figure who threw the Kunai at me, and after seeing him, my face automatically made a smile. " Boruto... "

" I don't think you are going to let me pass without a fight, are you? " He asked with a smile. I didn't give him a reply. I took out two Kunai's in both hands and dashed towards him.

I tried to slash his chest, but he made a side step and evaded, in a second I kicked him with my left leg, he caught my leg and was about to throw me down, but I jumped up, with the force I used both of my legs to lock his neck, but it seems that he sensed what I was doing so he pushed me back with force.

I rolled back but got up in a second and looked at him with vigilance. ' Taijutsu is a no-go. I think it's time to improvise. ' I thought and took out six Shurikens, three in both hands, and threw towards him.

All my Shurikens passed right beside him. " I thought you were good at Shurikenjutsu... " before he could say, I made a smirk and pulled my hands backward.

Thin wires became visible on both sides where Boruto was standing. They were coming closer and closer and were about to bind Boruto, but he just made a smile and jumped upwards, evading the wires from both sides.

As soon as he jumped upwards, I made some hand signs and said. " Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. " a fireball released from my mouth and went straight towards Boruto.

' Ha... now that you are in the air, you can't change your direction. Even if you use Wind style, it will only increase my attack power. ' I thought and went straight towards the door.

' I am not an idiot to wait to see if he blocked it or not. Let's get the flag first. ' I thought and didn't waste any time and bolted towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a scene that shocked me to the core.

In front of me, I see all the boys in our class sitting near the flag, playing a card game. There were chips packets all over the place as if they were sitting here for hours.

" Oh, someone finally arrived? we were getting bored playing Shinobi bout for hours. " Shikadai said while placing his cards on the ground.

" Yo...You, HOW ARE YOU ALL HERE!!? " I lost my cool, I mean, all of us were fighting them down there, but these guys look like they have been waiting here for hours.

Before they could say, all the girls came and saw what's happening. Chocho came towards me and said. " What's happing here? All of them suddenly disappeared with white smoke, and now they are here with the flag in their hands. What's going on? "

Suddenly Shino-Sensei appeared and told. " The flag has been secured. The boys are the winners. "

" But...But Sensei, how did this happen? A minute ago, I was fighting with Boruto, and I am sure that I was the first one to arrive. But..., how come all of them are here? I can't understand. " I said with both confused and shock mixed tone.

Shino-Sensei looked at us for a second and turned his head towards the boys. " I assume it was your plan, Boruto? "

Everyone in the boy's group laughed as Boruto came in front of Shino-sensei and said. " Yes, Sensei, did I do something wrong? "

Sensei looked at him and said with a defeated tone. " You kid, you always make things hard. Why don't you explain what happened? "

" Sure, girls, do you remember that all of the boys went to the restroom together after the school ended? " he asked. " Yeah, what does that have to do with this? " I asked as I could not relate things with what he was saying.

" Well... " he said and did some hand signs after that white smoke appeared beside him, and ten Boruto's appeared, all ten of them suddenly changed, and now they look exactly like our classmates.

" THIS... " now I know how these guys did it. They were near the flag from the beginning. Boruto sent his clones, who used Transformation Jutsu to make them look like our classmates. They must have hidden in the washroom until all the girls went out and camped here until I came in.

' We... We lost even before the game started. ' I thought a wave of sadness washed over my heart. I looked at the girls behind me, who were still in shock.

" Isn't this cheating? " Wasabi said in a low tone which is totally out of character.

" That's what Ninjas do. We plan, hide, cheat and clear our mission, this was not cheating but high-level planning. We are Ninjas. We set a trap before we fight.

If you consider this as cheating, then I must tell you. It's one of the basic qualities a Ninja should have. We fight in the Shadows, we cheat others, we kill enemies, we rob. We do whatever it takes for the Village's safety. "

" ... "

Everyone was silent. Even some boys were looking down after listening to what Sensei said. The atmosphere became very gloomy. Seeing that everyone got what Sensei told us, he said again. " The boys won, but only Boruto is eligible to ask anything from girls. As the other boys didn't do anything except sit and play. "

I am a little depressed after hearing that, but what can we do. Other boys seem like they don't have a problem with it. " Oh... thank you Sensei. Now, what should I ask from you girls? " Boruto said, and after a second, he looked at us with a very bright smile.

' Ewww... is he going to ask something indecent? I know he is not that type of a guy, but the way he smiles... ' I thought while looking at him. He came towards us and raised his hand.

" How about a handshake?... that was a nice match. I enjoyed it," Boruto said with a bright and beautiful smile.

Seeing his bright smile, I blushed, and my heart started to beat fast. ' UHHH... this guy, why does he have to be so good and handsome. '

" Ye...Yeah..., nic..., nice, match. " I said those words with a low tone and a bright red face.
