VILE CHAKRA was visible to the naked eye. It flew about grey, muscled shoulders in grasping wisps, curling into the blackened sky above.

The being's strange pupils darted about frantically. Its beak opened and closed with a rhythmic snap as it reared its head at Boruto.

The genin narrowed his eyes.

It's coming!

The beast exploded in movement and sound.

"Boruto!" Hijikata and Himawari shouted in unison. Boruto's vision was shadowed within seconds. The beast was inches away from him, its gigantic and broad body dwarfing Boruto by more than a meter.

It raised a hand wrapped in chakra.

Even in this state it can form jutsu?!

The beast stabbed for Boruto's chest. The genin gritted his teeth, pain rocking his body as he forced himself into a somersault backwards.

The monster wasted no time.

It pounced into a run-

Himawari burst from the being's left. She spun on her heels, fingers pointed into fine daggers. She struck at the creature's shoulder and elbow. It yelled with an inhuman bark as it attempted to recover to the right with a dangling arm.

Hijikata jumped from an adjacent branch, spearing himself at the base of the being's back. The Hyuga shouted as he slapped his palms against the creature's muscled body, exuding a burst of chakra that lifted it into the air.

Boruto pressed his hands together, steadying himself and running forward.

"Wind Style: Wind Cutter Technique!"

Six blades of air shot forth from Boruto, cutting through a superficial layer of the beast's skin. Its blood splashed upwards as Sarada shifted into view above the creature's shoulder.

With a bellow she kicked downwards, using chakra to exemplify her strength. The beast fell to one knee.

"Now, Iwabe! Mitsuki!" Sarada yelled as she slid backwards, passing Boruto then pulling him along with her. Himawari and Hijikata similarly distanced themselves as Mitsuki's shadow passed over them all.

"Lighting Style: Strike Cannon." Mitsuki spoke as he signed with trained efficiency, running upon the stunned creature. He opened his palms to the beast's thudding chest.

Lighting bellowed forth from Mitsuki, shaking the ground. The creature staggered about haphazardly, bleeding profusely as it panted with eerie gasps.

"Hah!" Iwabe's swords slashed across the being's back as it whirled. He planted his feet, crossing swords with a sharp clink.

"Flowering stance, second ring.." As Iwabe spoke, chakra welled about his body.

"Thundering Moon Crescendo!" Iwabe shouted. Two bolts of chirping lighting curled from his spinning swords, exploding upon the creature.

Smoke clearing, the beast looked at its arms dumbfounded.

Iwabe's jutsu lopped off both of its hands.

Blood spurted from its wound as it fell on its bottom helplessly.

"Good, Iwabe!" Himawari jumped ahead. She ran, twirling her kunai into a stabbing position.

Boruto's left eye suddenly felt as if it was on fire. He grimaced, vision blurring-

What is this pain..?!
