Outside Konoha Village, in the ruins of an abandoned city, a gentle breeze swept through the cracked buildings, carrying a faint chill.
The candidates who had passed the first exam were gathered there, waiting for the next challenge.
"The second test is called the Flag Capture Battle," Tenten announced, standing before them with her hands confidently on her hips.
"In this round, you'll need to protect your own flag while attacking the enemy's position. In short—it's a three-on-three battle that tests both offense and defense."
She paused for a moment, letting her words sink in before continuing. "That also means more than half of you will be eliminated in this round."
Then, with a firm wave of her hand, she shouted, "Teams, take your positions! The test officially begins!"
Explosions thundered through the ruins. Plumes of smoke filled the air as ninjutsu collided in dazzling bursts of chakra. The once-silent city had become a battlefield.
"Next match: Sumire Kakei's team versus Yurui's team!"
Upon hearing they'd be facing Konoha ninjas, Yurui's team's eyes darkened with hostility.
"Konoha Genin, huh? Perfect. I'll take you on first to blow off some steam!" Yurui sneered.
On a rooftop surrounded by crumbling walls, Sumire stood calmly.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A puff of white smoke appeared, and Nue materialized, wagging its tail as it affectionately rubbed its head against Sumire's legs.
Sumire smiled gently. "Wasabi, Namida—I'll stay and guard the flag. You two go and capture theirs."
"Are you sure you can handle this alone?" Namida asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"I'll be fine," Sumire replied softly. "Nue will go with you."
She crouched down and whispered a command to the creature. Nue growled quietly, understanding immediately.
"Alright then, Namida, let's move out," Wasabi said. The two girls nodded and leapt off the rooftop with Nue close behind.
Sumire closed her eyes, waiting.
Moments later, a figure landed on the rooftop—Yurui.
He chewed lazily on his gum, glaring at her. "Hmph. You seem close to that son of the Hokage. Perfect. If I beat you down, do you think that spoiled brat will get mad?"
Sumire frowned slightly, opening her eyes. "Annoying. Can't you just shut up already?"
Her calm tone made Yurui's face twist in anger. "Tch, I'll show you real power!"
Sumire tilted her head. "You're the kind of person Boruto would say needs to feel some pain."
She quickly formed hand signs, and with a puff of smoke, she transformed into Pain's Deva Path.
Yurui froze for a moment, then snorted. "A Transformation Jutsu? That's your big move?"
Ignoring him, Sumire raised her hand in a gun gesture. A droplet of water condensed at her fingertip.
"How many floors does one bag of rice take to carry…" she murmured.
The droplet shot forward like a bullet.
Yurui leapt into the air, narrowly dodging it. "Not bad, but that's nowhere near enough to make me feel pain!"
He puffed his cheeks and spat out a stream of large, colorful bubbles that floated toward her.
Sumire smiled faintly, forming another hand seal.
"Water Release: Water Spirit Wave!"
Dozens of water bullets burst from her fingers, striking the bubbles mid-air—bang, bang, bang!—exploding them in flashes of color.
Smoke filled the rooftop.
Yurui used the cover to rush in, drawing a short sword. He slashed at her, lightning-fast.
The blade connected—but there was no resistance.
Water poured from the wound.
"Damn! A Water Clone!" he realized, too late.
The clone liquefied and surged around him, forming a swirling sphere of water—the Water Prison Jutsu.
"Ugh—h-how?!" Yurui gasped, thrashing inside the orb as his breath ran short. His face reddened as he struggled in vain.
Sumire watched, her violet eyes cold. "Do you feel the pain now? No? Then it's not enough."
She didn't release the jutsu.
Suddenly, a large boy with glasses appeared on the rooftop. "Yurui?! What the hell—how could you lose to her?!"
"Steel Wire!"
Electricity crackled around his fists as he charged Sumire, swinging wildly.
Sumire leapt gracefully aside, landing lightly on the edge of the roof.
"You Konoha brats are too cocky!" the boy roared, summoning more Lightning Release chakra.
Sumire exhaled softly and weaved hand signs again.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A massive torrent of water erupted from her hands like a tidal wave, slamming into the boy.
"Impossible! Such a large-scale jutsu—from a Genin?!" he shouted before being engulfed and washed away.
He hit the ground hard, unconscious.
Tenten, watching from the control room, couldn't help but be impressed. "Amazing… to use such strong Water Release without a natural water source…"
Then she tilted her head. "But… why Pain?"
Meanwhile, thanks to Nue's support, Wasabi and Namida successfully captured the enemy flag.
Their victory secured, Sumire's team advanced.
The flag battles reached their final stages.
Iwabe, Denki, and Metal faced Shinki's team—but despite their efforts, they were ultimately defeated and eliminated.
"Next match: Boruto's team versus Sanka's team!"
The Sanka brothers—three nearly identical Genin—stiffened when they heard the name.
"The son of the Hokage?" one muttered. "Just our luck…"
"Relax," said another. "He's just good with a sword. Three of us together can take him."
"Yeah," said the third. "Let's show him what teamwork really looks like."
On a broken platform, Boruto leaned casually against a wall, one hand propping up his cheek.
The Sanka brothers landed opposite him, irritation written all over their faces.
"Three against one—don't call us cowards," one of them said smugly. "After all, you're the Hokage's son."
Boruto smirked. "Three against one? Perfect. That means I get to have a little fun."
He lifted his hand and held up two fingers.
Poof!
White smoke burst in front of them.
When it cleared—fifteen Borutos stood there.
"Now it's five against one," Boruto said, grinning. "Don't call me cowardly."
