~35~[A Shinobis Resolve!]

🌸🌸🌸

"Do you want me to tell you how to get out of this situation, Boruto? Or would you like y/n to tell you?" Kakashi put his attention back onto the boy.

"I have to break my arm..." y/n mumbled, not wanting Kakashi to get the satisfaction of explaining his own maneuver.

"It's probably impossible to do for someone who doesn't have the motivation to become a ninja," Kakashi stated, continuing to hold y/n down as she cursed the man silently.

"Motivation?" Boruto questioned, already thinking of ways he could attack without Kakashi hurting y/n. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Motivation is well... having resolve. Whether it's for money, for praise, or the sake of your parents... It doesn't matter. But without it, you can't change. You'll become a ninja with everyone, then you'll figure out something to do... Sound familiar, Boruto? Do you call that resolve? And y/n, you hide behind such a double-sided excuse of protecting those you love. What about right now? When it's your life over someone else's? Are you able to trample over these people to become a ninja? Or do you feel the need to let them step on you instead?"

y/n and Boruto were silent. The both of them saying nothing to the man.

"It's hard to answer a question like that, isn't it? But things like that happen often. And that's when what ultimately sustains a ninja is born... Resolve comes from motivation. Sure, you're both willing, and you have the talent. But that's just not enough. And that's even more so if you don't have a resolve."

"Stop talking like you know everything about us," y/n growled, tightening her fists in Kakashi's grip.

"I know plenty," Kakashi stated, his eyes staying concentrated on the girl below him. "I got a good look at you up close. You know that too. You sensed it as soon as I started answering your questions the other day. I could tell," Kakashi covered his face, leaving one eye out to relax and reveal who he had be undercover as.

Boruto's pupils went small when he saw it and y/n just scoffed, turning away from the man. "I just took a page from your book and pranked you. Anyway, this year's Academy students are horrible."

"What?" Boruto questioned, anger lacing his voice.

"There are one's among you, who more or less, have some resolve, but even so... They underestimate what a ninja is. It must be your influence on them, Boruto. Because it seems like at every turn y/n is attempting to warn them, before you shoot her down and cover it up with some sad excuse or reason. The severity of being a ninja... The unfairness that awaits... You haven't even begun to imagine it. I just can't acknowledge this group as ninja. Because if you get into a real battle, you'll all be slaughtered. I'll ask you again y/n... can you break your arm with such a flimsy resolve? All just to find a reason to become a ninja?"

Kakashi moved the girl's arm up, making her let out another cry of pain. "I guess no one passes this year. There's no need for any of you to return to the Academy. Find another path," The man reached down, taking the back of the girl's head in his hand. "Just think of it as part of the severity in becoming a ninja..."

"If you guys are gonna act, do it now!" y/n quickly threw her shoulder forward with her words, letting out a cry of pain just as Kakashi caught a kunai flying towards his face.

"Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!" Mitsuki flew towards the man, but Kakashi quickly pulled out his own lightning Jutsu, deflecting the boy with the same bored look.

Kakashi quickly looked down when the ground pulled up, breaking open under him thanks to Iwabe as it wrapped a dome around y/n's fallen body.

Mitsuki stretched his arm out, following Kakashi with it before pulling himself towards the man. Kakashi hit him away, watching the kid fly over his head.
