"At the gates of the community"

Boruto puts arrows in his crossbows quiver, then puts it on the back of his motorcycle. Shikadai pulls up next to the motorcycle in a mustang, Iwabee in the front seat, Inojin, and Denki in the back. Crates on the roof and tied down through the windows

Boruto: So where to first?

Boruto puts on his cloak, and gets on the motorcycle

Inojin: First we're heading to the farming community. I'm the map maker by the way. Then we're heading to the British Community.

Iwabee: Then it's the hippie community, and they'll only except trades from us as long as it isn't from any living animals.

Shikadai: Meaning they won't take milk, or meat. We usually avoid them.

Boruto: So there's meat in those crates?

Shikadai: Along with glass bottles of milk.

Boruto looks through the window and sees a large red spot on Inojin's map

Boruto: What's with the red spot?

Denki: That's the area we are never allowed to go into. Those people are monsters.

Boruto: As in mutants?

Shikadai: He means territorial people. Their leader is an asshole. Sasuke made a peace treaty with him that as long as none of us enter their area, and they don't enter ours.

Iwabee: And as long as they don't kill one of us, or we kill one of them, nothing bad will happen.

Boruto: They an army or something?

Shikadai: They have ten times more people then us. The leader rules through.

Denki: I heard a rumor he cut off someone's arm as punishment for embarrassing them.

Boruto: Sounds like North Korea.

Shikadai: Boruto, just drive behind, and follow us.

Boruto: Yeah, yeah. Let's go.

The gates open. Shikadai and Boruto through them

"15 miles later"

Boruto drives next to Shikadai

Boruto: How much longer till we get there?

Shikadai: About another five miles.

Boruto: I wish something would happen. I'm bored as hell.

Roars are heard in the forest to the left and right of the highway they drive on

Iwabee: You just had to say it.

Human lion and tiger mutants jump out from the woods behind and chase after them

Iwabee: We've got a lion and tiger pack coming up on us!

Shadows fly over the human lion and tiger mutants

Denki: And some falcon mutants too!

A human falcon mutant flies down and slashes the back tire of Boruto's motorcycle. Boruto jumps off the motorcycle and lands on the roof of the car, the bike rolls back and hits a tiger mutant

Boruto: Son of a bitch!

Boruto throws two knives and hits the human falcon mutant in the eyes. The falcon hits the ground and some human tiger mutants eat it. The rest of the human lion and tiger mutants chase after the car

Boruto: Somebody shoot these things!

Iwabee: On it!

Iwabee unrolls his window, and sits on the door with a machine gun
