"Himawari... please be safe. " Boruto thought to himself. He cannot let anyone harm Himawari. Himawari is like a flower to him, a sunflower. He will cut the hands which will lay even a finger on that sunflower.

"Boruto. How far? " Gaara asked.

"It will take five minutes more. " Boruto replied. As he has lived with Zaki for three years now, he knows her so well. He has also fixed a tracker on her so he knows where she is right now.

SWISH!!!

A kunai came from nowhere. The kunai nearly hit Chocho right in the face before Mitsuki saved her.

"The hell was that?! " Chocho yelled. They all alerted themselves and looked at Boruto.

"It's not Zaki. It's someone else. " He replied.

They saw a huge shadow in between the trees and waited for it to reveal itself.

"Oh? I missed? " The voice spoke. "What a shame. " He chuckled as he revealed himself making Boruto's eyes go wide.

"It's been a while, right Boruto? " The human-like-demon smirked

"It's been a while, right Boruto? " The human-like-demon smirked. "Aah, it's been three years already. I can't believe I'm seeing you again. I thought you would be dead by now. " He added bowing a little to take a good look at Boruto who was gritting his teeth.

"Why are you back? " Boruto asked.

"Oh c'mon! I had to come back to take revenge. " He sighed.

"Boruto, who is he? " Shikadai asked.

"He is Akuma. He used to live with Zaki before I arrived. We both trained together and-" Akuma cuts him off.

"And then she chose him over me! I lived with her since she was born and loved her like my own sister! Yet, she abandoned me and lived with that bolt! " He cried.

"We'll have to be careful. He has the same powers as Zaki. Make sure to kill him without letting him touch you. He'll possess your soul otherwise. And if you'll hurt him, you'll get hurt. " Boruto explained while everyone gulped.

"I told you that revenge will hit back, didn't I? " Akuma smirked. "Time to die, kid! " He was near Boruto in a blink but Boruto dodged his hand. "You've gotten faster, eh? "

"Shikadai! Now! " Boruto yelled while Shikadai, who was preparing himself from the start, attached his shadow to Akuma's shadow preventing Akuma from moving. "Mitsuki! " Boruto yelled again. Mitsuki nodded and released his snakes towards Akuma. The snakes were wrapped all around him. While Chocho used her expansion jutsu and punched Akuma causing his face to bleed.

"Not bad, you know! " Akuma laughed maniacally. A green light appeared and, in the blink of an eye, Akuma was free.

"Boruto. You go and save Himawari, we'll deal with him! " Gaara ordered and Boruto nodded.
