A Keke...

Yeah… This is hard.

My hand was freezing, covered in full Ice. Combining wind and water, I was able to create [Ice Style].

To be honest… my hand feels numb. Almost like it isn't even there. I tried pinching… yeah, no pain.

But… I feel like I can go a step further. I feel like I can do much more, I know, I can do much more.

I wasn't satisfied with just a Keke-Genkai… I need something outlying, something beyond it…

***

Time flew quite rapidly. A series of events took place in the short period of the past week.

I, Boruto Uzumaki was able attain something far more extraordinary, a Jutsu of one of the highest caliber.

As I gazed down Konoha which was illuminated by the beautiful moonlight, I sensed a figure behind me.

"I came here tonight to tell you something, I've been wondering if I should tell you or not. But it seems like I should"

The familiar white-haired kid walked to the edge, gazing down the same place I did.

"I know who's behind the ghost incident"

Mitsuki said with no emotions, his yellow eyes gleaming in the dark. He looked at me once again before walking in the direction he came from.

"The culprit is... The Class Rep"

He looked back, straight into my eyes.

"You don't seem to be surprised"

"I am"

"I find that hard to believe"

"Suit yourself"

Before he could ask any more questions, the ground beneath us shook, gaining our attention.

It stopped.

"Looks like it has begun"

The atmosphere suddenly became bone-chilling cold. A shiver ran through my spine, I wasn't afraid, but my instincts said otherwise.

"Rwaaa!!!"

An earscrapping roar echoed through the vicinity. In the distance, a gigantic beast that resembled a lion yet... Not, spawned out of thin air.

Screams of the villagers resounded through Konoha. A whirlwind of dust along with the terrifying-looking beast with a Snake as a tail made the view as mysterious as it gets.

"Nue... The Gozu Tennou is being summoned through chakra gathered in an intermediary"

The roars of the beast only continued as Mitsuki went on explaining the situation at hand.

"Hmm?"

A white snake emerged from Mitsuki's shirt's sleeve, it slithered and climbed on his shoulder.

"What do you want?"

Mitsuki was completely unfazed by it... Snakes, huh? It resembles someone oddly familiar.

"I'm a little occupied right now... Weren't you going to let her live and observe her? Why now?... Alright, fine. Mission accepted, my new orders are... To eliminate Sumire Shigaraki"

With a neutral look in his eyes, Mitsuki said, not even bothering to hide them in front of me.

"Now... What will you do, Boruto?"

I changed my demeanor, a bit of bloodlust leaking out of me.

"Do your job... Kill her, restrain her... Do whatever fits you, just leave me be"

With that, I took off toward the beast. This beast got my blood pumping, I can't sleep without a satisfying battle.

As quick as I can, I Body flickered to my limits, adding Burst step and using that, I reached there in the nick of time. Within a split second, I activated my Doujutsu just in time to catch a glimpse of the Purple Lightning.

Yes, I was finally able to activate the eye to my will... I had expected it to be the Byakugan... But, this eye of mine seems to be something else, something far better.

"Purple-Lightning!"

A flash of lightning passed in between the beast's tail, without my Doujutsu I don't think I could've caught that.

My eye helps me to see how chakra is molded, helping me to recreate a Jutsu... Of course, if I didn't have any skill, the ability would've been worthless.

The Halve tail of Nue collapsed on the ground beside me.

"Boruto?!"

Kakashi Hatake, the sixth Hokage called out, he landed to my right.

"What're you doing here? Get out! It's dangerous"

He said in full seriousness, I ignored... Likewise.

"Earth Style: Multi-Mud Wall!"

Kakashi slammed his hands on the ground, multiple Mud Walls emerged from the ground, closing any exit for the beast.

"Did you not hear? Quick! You might die if you stay any longer!"

"Szzz!!"

The sound of several snakes brought our conversation to a halt, the previously split part of Nue's tail began to produce several worm-like creatures on our way.

I dodged most of them and sliced apart a couple or two using a... kunai.

"Argh"

Shinobis around us began to fall on their knees, they were subdued by the worm-like creatures.

"M-My strength is..."

Kakashi quickly detached the worms from the victim's bodies, Sai along with I stood on polar sides with Kakashi in the middle.

"Their chakra is being absorbed...This isn't good"

Sai commented, fully focused on the beast in front of us.

"Rwaaaa!!"

Its tail expanded, knocking back the Mud-Wall that enclosed it. The roar of the beast shook the ground again, Kakashi was sweating while Sai stood in front of me, giving me cover.

"It's gotten bigger. Is it because it absorbed chakra?"

Sai asked, dusting his shoulder.

"The wall's reaching its limit. Let's give it one last push"

"Yes! Barrier team!"

-"Yes"-

-"Yes"-

Multiple Shinobis split apart and circled the beast, a decent distance away from it. They simultaneously performed the same hand signs.

Suddenly, a circular-shaped barrier spawned around the beast, trapping it and us in it.

"Alright... However"

Nue roared as it approached us, its every step shook the earth, Kakashi stood up, ready to fight back... Meanwhile, I just spectated.

Kakashi, Sai and along with the other Shinobis present launched kunais' with chakra iron string attached to them, temporarily keeping the beast in check.

*Swoosh*

"Are you two okay?"

Looking at the new visitor, I wasn't surprised that much. It was my father, Naruto.

"H-Hey! Who's commanding the relief operations?"

Kakashi asked, while putting all his strength to keep beast restrained.

"Shikamaru and the others are on it"

After saying that, he was about to step forward but stopped in his tracks when he saw me.

"Boruto?... You tagging along? If then, we don't have much time. Let's go!"

He has indeed changed...

"Yeah... Let's end this quickly"

*Swoosh* x2

Within a flash, both of us body flickered. Now, for taking down this beast... I don't need something majestic nor anything flashy.

A simple Jutsu is all I need. Afterall, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

With a series of hand signs, Fire started sparkling in my palm. Except, it wasn't red or orange... But pure white with a bit of blue in the middle.

"Dad! Send it flying as high as you can"

"Got it! Everyone! Let go of your Kunai!"

I was midair, charging up the Jutsu, the more it charges, the better the outcome.

Naruto activated his KCM mode, two oversized hands made of chakra emerged from his shoulder. Making it twice the normal size, he grabbed the beast and threw it to the sky.

The purple barrier shattered, slowing it.

Kurama manifested for a second and kicked the beast which was mid-air, tossing it higher.

Now!

"Artic Style: Sub-Zero Flames"

Yes, this was the Jutsu I worked day and night to achieve. A jutsu above Keke-Genkai... A Keke-Tõta. Combining Water, Wind and Fire, I was able to create this abomination of a Jutsu.

The bone-chilling flames engulfed my hand. I spawned two Shadow clones using my left hand and gave me a boost to the sky using [Boruto Stream].

I bend my hand backward, spawning another set of clones to give me a double boost.

*Zooom*

I shot through the sky, my flames freezing the moisture in air, like an arrow, I pierced its stomach and shot out from the other side.

"Rawr!!!"

The cry of the Beast echoed like it had experienced the depth of hell, its body slowly enveloping by the white flames, freezing every fiber of its being.

Soon, it was fully engulfed in Ice, Nue's body melted inside, leaving no trace of its existence.

The gigantic Nue-Shaped Ice started descending.

"Naruto! Catch it!"

"On it"

To Kakashi's yell, Kurama emerged and quickly took shape.

***

Maybe that Flashy part was unnecessary to mention, the Jutsu was a little eye-catching.

I thought as I stared at the several Jonin's looking at me...
