Chapter 59: Mastering Two More Chakra Natures

Kurotsuchi couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and directed her question to Onoki, her voice filled with intrigue. "Onoki-sama, how are you able to walk now?"

As her words hung in the air, a stunned silence fell over the room. All eyes turned towards Onoki, their expressions a mix of surprise and anticipation, eager to hear his response.

With a grateful smile, Onoki revealed the source of his newfound ability. "Naruto's son healed me," he disclosed, his voice laced with appreciation. "His healing powers have rejuvenated me, making me feel stronger and more agile than ever before."

A remark, unable to conceal his astonishment, couldn't help but comment on Onoki's transformed appearance. "You certainly look younger, old man," he quipped, his tone a mixture of surprise and admiration.

Onoki's smile widened at the remark, acknowledging the change in his physical appearance. "I'm well aware," he replied, his voice tinged with amusement. "And Naruto, I have made a decision. I will take your son under my wing and train him."

Naruto, unfazed by this announcement, expressed his unwavering confidence in his son's talent and genius. "I trust that you will guide him well," Naruto requested, his voice filled with a mix of pride and trust.

With a reassuring nod, Onoki gave his word. "Don't worry, kid. I'll make sure to take care of him," he assured Naruto, his tone carrying a sense of determination and responsibility.

However, Kurotsuchi's puzzlement remained unresolved. She couldn't help but voice her lingering question. "But how is it possible for you to walk? Normal Medical Jutsu can't achieve this," she inquired, her brow furrowed in confusion.

Onoki, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, simply replied, "Ask him,"

Under the moonlit sky, Boruto stood before Guy, who sat in his wheelchair, their gazes meeting as warm smiles graced their faces. The tranquility of the night enveloped them, setting the stage for their heartfelt reunion.

"It's been a while, Guy-sensei," Boruto greeted, his voice filled with genuine affection and respect.

Guy, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia, returned the sentiment. "Yes, it has been. How is my youthful student?" he inquired, his tone carrying a hint of playful curiosity.

Boruto's reply came effortlessly, his voice tinged with pride. "Doing pretty good," he affirmed, his words reflecting the growth and progress he had achieved since their last encounter.

A knowing smile spread across Guy's face as he observed Boruto's presence before him. "Why are you here? You always come to me when you have something to talk about," he probed, his voice gentle yet perceptive.

Boruto's expression softened as he revealed his true purpose. "I'm here to repay you, Guy-sensei," he confessed, his voice filled with sincerity and gratitude.

Guy's initial confusion gave way to astonishment as Boruto closed the distance between them, placing his palm on Guy's injured leg. With a surge of healing energy, Boruto utilized his unique abilities to restore Guy's leg to its former strength and vitality.

A wave of relief washed over Guy as he felt his leg rejuvenated, no longer burdened by the weight of injury. He looked at Boruto, tears welling up in his eyes, unable to contain his overwhelming gratitude. In a heartfelt embrace, Guy expressed his deepest appreciation.

"Thank you, Boruto," Guy's voice trembled with emotion, his words a testament to the profound impact of Boruto's selfless act.

Boruto, humbled by Guy's heartfelt embrace, responded with a gentle pat on his mentor's back. "You're welcome," he replied, his voice filled with warmth and humility.

As the moment of gratitude passed, Guy's determination resurfaced, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve. "You haven't been slacking off with your training, have you?" he questioned, his tone a blend of concern and expectation.

Boruto's confident reply left no room for doubt. "Of course not," he assured, his voice brimming with assurance and determination.

A burst of youthful energy surged through Guy as he seized the opportunity to share his infectious enthusiasm. "Then let's go for a run around Konoha!" he exclaimed, his voice alive with excitement and vitality.

Boruto, mirroring his mentor's boundless spirit, readily agreed. "Sure thing, Guy-sensei," he replied, his voice carrying a sense of eagerness and readiness.

And so, hand in hand, Boruto and Guy embarked on their spirited run through the vibrant streets of Konoha. Their footsteps echoed with determination and resilience, their bond strengthened by their shared commitment to growth and the unyielding spirit of youth.

Meanwhile, Mitsuki had ventured out of Konoha on his own and suddenly coughed up blood.

"Tch, Sage Mode is taking its toll on me," Mitsuki muttered.

He had been training with Sage Mode, trying to master it without causing harm to his own body. Now, he was making his way to Orochimaru's base, knowing that Orochimaru possessed the best knowledge to help heal his body.

The Next Day,

As Boruto teleported to Iwagakure, he arrived with closed eyes, deactivating his EMS upon arrival.

"Hmm, just as I imagined," Boruto remarked, taking in the sight of the mountainous surroundings with only a sparse forest compared to Konoha.

"You're here," Onoki greeted him.

Beside Onoki stood Kurotsuchi, who observed with surprise at the sight of her grandfather looking healthier and younger.

"Yo, Onoki-sensei and Kurotsuchi-san," Boruto greeted, raising his hand in a friendly gesture.

"I'm just here to observe, so please ignore me," Kurotsuchi chimed in.

"Shall we get started?" Onoki proposed.

"Sure," Boruto agreed.

"What is your affinity for Chakra Nature?" Onoki inquired.

"I have an affinity for Wind, Water, and Lightning," Boruto replied.

"Three affinities? That's interesting," Onoki remarked. "But in order to even attempt my Particle Jutsu, you'll need to master Fire and Earth as well. It will take a considerable amount of time."

"Nah, I'm confident I can master them quickly," Boruto responded with a hint of determination.

"If that's the case, then sure," Onoki conceded.

Under Onoki's guidance, Boruto embarked on his training to master Fire and Earth. Kurotsuchi observed in astonishment as Boruto quickly grasped the concepts.

Once Boruto understood what he needed to do, he swiftly created at least 50 clones and began the rigorous training to master Fire and Earth.

"How long do you think it will take for Boruto to master these two natures that he doesn't have an affinity for?" Onoki inquired.

"Minimum 7 years," Kurotsuchi estimated.

"I believe he will accomplish it much faster than you anticipate," Onoki confidently stated.

It took him a few hours to have a better understanding and control of Fire and Earth nature.

After that, Boruto announced, "I'm heading back home, but before that..." He approached Onoki and began using his healing powers to make him younger. However, Boruto stopped before making Onoki too young, explaining that it requires energy to reverse someone's age, even though it seems effortless for him.

Curious, Kurotsuchi asked, "How are you able to do this?"

Boruto replied, "It's a secret, and I don't think it would benefit you to know, Kurotsuchi-san. The Dark Chakra I possess can only be handled by me, as I specifically tailored it for myself."

Wanting to keep his abilities hidden, Boruto walked a short distance away from Kurotsuchi and Onoki, then teleported away to prevent them from seeing his Sharingan, despite already being aware of it.

Concerned, Kurotsuchi asked Onoki, "Are you really sure about teaching Boruto your Jutsu?"

Onoki replied, "Yes, because not just anyone can use my Jutsu."

Kurotsuchi skeptically questioned, "Are you only doing this because he can make you younger?"

Onoki responded, "Yes and no. I see Kazuchi in him."

Feeling guilty, Kurotsuchi sighed and said, "Then please take care of the Hokage's son properly."

"I know, I have taken care of you in the past," Onoki said, reminiscing.

Kurotsuchi couldn't help but smile at the fond memories.

Konohagakure,

Boruto suddenly teleported right in front of Sarada, who was lost in her daydreams. Startled, her reflexes kicked in and she attempted to kick Boruto, but he effortlessly flickered behind her.

"Sorry for appearing so suddenly," Boruto apologized.

"It's fine, but are you alone?" Sarada asked, still catching her breath.

"Yeah, why? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Boruto inquired.

"Pretty much," Sarada replied.

"Let him be. Let's go on a mission, just the two of us," Boruto suggested.

"Sure," Sarada agreed, rising from the bench.

Boruto and Sarada embarked on a C-rank mission together. Their task was to provide security and guard a building, ensuring it remained safe from any potential sabotage. Although it may have seemed like a routine mission, the duo approached it with utmost dedication and professionalism.

As they stood outside the building, Boruto and Sarada remained vigilant, scanning their surroundings for any signs of trouble. The night was quiet, with only the faint sound of the wind rustling through the trees. They communicated through subtle hand signals, their teamwork seamless and synchronized.

Hours passed, and the tension in the air remained palpable. Every creak and rustle sent a surge of adrenaline through their veins, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. Their senses heightened, they were fully prepared to face any threat that came their way.

With their unwavering focus and unwavering determination, Boruto and Sarada successfully thwarted any attempts at sabotage. Their coordination and quick reflexes allowed them to neutralize potential threats swiftly and efficiently. The building remained secure under their watchful eyes.

As dawn broke, signaling the end of their mission, Boruto and Sarada shared a sense of accomplishment. They had fulfilled their duty with flying colors, ensuring the safety of the building and its occupants. Their hard work and dedication had paid off, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their success.

With the mission complete, Boruto and Sarada made their way back to the village, knowing that they had carried out their responsibilities with utmost professionalism.
