Chapter 12

" I think it's time. " I said and went towards dad's room. As I went inside, I saw dad refilling his ninja weapons in his bag.

" Ah... Boruto, what is it? " Dad asked. I looked at him and answered with a serious tone. " Dad, I want to start my elemental affinity training. "

I want to ask him now as I am five years old now. If I relate to anime logic, then Naruto became Hokage when Boruto was Six years old.

I should start my training as I can spend more time with dad. Because when he becomes the Hokage, his life would be in paperwork, and he would have no time to teach me anything.

Dad looked at me for a second and said. " I thought you would have asked me early. But you took time by perfecting three basic Jutsus, Body Flickering, and Shadow Clone Jutsu. "

Dad stopped for a bit and said again. " You remind me of my dad. I heard from granny Tsunade that he was also as talented and Mature as you. I only hope that you use your power to protect others. "

" I understand, dad. " I said. " But before that, why don't we have a spar. I want to see what you have learned in these three years of your training. "

" Yeah, sure. " I said, and we both went to a training ground near our house.

As we entered the training grounds, dad said. " Shall we begin? "

Dad said, and I took the Gentle fist stance. " Oh, so you are going with Gentle fist, ha. "

As soon as dad took his stance, I stormed towards him. We traded some blows, but my attacks were all blocked by dad. But suddenly, I voiced out a technique.

" Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms. " I said and started my attacks.

" Two Palms. " " Four Palms. " " Eight Palms. " " Sixteen Palms. "

I attacked, but I was able to close one tenketsu point from my dad's Chakra pathway. It was because of the first strike which was able to surprise dad.

After that, dad was able to block all the strikes. After that, I evaded one of his punches and took some steps back to make a plan.

" Boruto, how were you able to see my tenketsu points without Byakugan. " Dad asked with a curious tone.

" I can pinpoint tenketsu points based on a person's height. " I said while thinking. ' All this time, I tried to activate that Jogan, but that thing won't even activate no matter how hard I try. '

" Ah... good, as expected of you. But you have to increase your speed to use this on a higher level Shinobi, as you won't get time to calculate his height. " Dad said while smiling.

" Thanks, dad. " I said, and suddenly white smoke erupted from me. From the smoke, dozens of clones came out.

" Hmm... they are not Shadow clones. Boruto, you are using a normal Clone Jutsu you, know I can sense the real-... WHAT!!? " Before dad could say anything, two clones hit him at the same time.

All the clones were attacking dad. No matter which clone dad strikes, attacks pass through them.

Dad made some distance with clones and started weaving hand signs. " Wind Style: Great Breakthrough. "

After saying that, he blew heavy wind pressure from his mouth, big enough to cover all the clones. The attack hit all the clones, and dust erupted.

As soon as the dust cleared, there was a shattered tree log in the middle. " Oh... Substitution. " As soon as he said that, four of my Shadow clones came from four sides, launched Shurikens, and waved hand signs.

" Shuriken Shadow clone Jutsu. " As soon as I said that, fifty shurikens came from all four sides towards dad.

" It's a good plan, Boruto. But this is not enough to defeat your dad. " dad said with a silly grin. When the Shurikens hit him, he poofed into smoke.

" Shadow Clone? " I said and wanted to move out of this side. But a kunai was around my neck. " I think it's my win Boruto. " Dad said.

" Dad, you are a Kage level Shinobi. Of course, you would win. " I said while returning to the middle of the training ground.

" Yeah, I had to increase my strength when you used that unusual clone Jutsu. What was that Jutsu anyway? I wasn't able to hit the clones, but they were able to hit me. Is that the new Jutsu you created? " Dad said while thinking.

" Yes, I use Body Flickering Jutsu to create several afterimages and move through those afterimages. If attacked, I move out of the way, letting the opponent's attack go through one of my afterimages. " I said.

' Well, it was Shisui Uchiha's technique, but it's mine now. At first, I wasn't able to see when I used this Jutsu. But, the problem is no more after continuous use of it. My perception speed had increased. ' I thought for myself.

" Did you name your Jutsu? " dad asked. " Yeah, I name it Afterimage Clones. "

" Hm... that's a nice name. Here I thought you would name it big like my dad's Jutsus. " Dad said while laughing. ' Well, even I am bad at naming, the Jutsu was already named by Shisui. '

" Where did you learn Shuriken Shadow clone? " Dad asked. " Ah... Big Brother Konohamaru taught me that. " I said and thought about how many times I had to beg him to teach me that Jutsu.

" Is that so... well, you fought well Boruto, you can go toe to toe with a Chunin. " Dad said while ruffling my hair. " Ok now, let's see what affinity you have. "

Dad said and took out a Chakra paper. " Now send some Chakra into the Chakra paper. "

I took the paper from dad's hands and channeled Chakra into it. ' Will my affinities be the same as Boruto from cannon, or will it change. '
