Forgotten Love | SasuNaru

~Chapter 17

3rd Person POV

Boruto could here the clashing, coming from outside the train. He used his wind chakra to break through the glass and flew through the air. His eyes grew wide as a familiar pinkish glowing rod and pot was spotted. The white skinned man floating in the sky as he stared down with glee. Boruto gulped as he landed, almost not noticing Mitsuki by his side. He was panting heavily and his clothes were ripped and ruined.

His whole appearance was disheveled but his stance was unwavering. Boruto looked around some more catching sight of the twins who were standing firmly with barely a scratch on them. "You should be worrying more about yourself, Boruto Uzumaki" Urashiki taunted. His hook moving so fast, Boruto didn't have time to react or plan a counterattack. Boruto's eyes were closed only for a millisecond, only to open them with a shadowy figure looming over him. Boruto froze as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing with such limited time.

His lips quivered as his eyes were wide, not understanding. His lips parted slightly as he stared in awe of the figure in front of him. "Mitsuki..." Boruto whispered as he shuttered under his cold gaze. Boruto's eyes lingered lower as he let out a soft gasp, seeing the hook that pierced through his chest. "Bo..ruto..." Mitsuki muttered slowly as he gasped as the hook was pulled out of him. Extracting the chakra right out of him, leaving Mitsuki to collapse from exhaustion.

Urashiki chuckled, "what fine chakra your friend has indeed, to bad he isn't the one I'm after..." Urashiki exclaimed. Boruto held Mitsuki in his arms as he became unresponsive. His body going limp, Boruto shivered, Urashiki turned his attention away from Boruto. No longer finding any interest in him as he was barely even a threat. His eyes grazed over the twins, even still Boruto was froze, on his knees as he held Mitsuki. He couldn't, he couldn't just leave Mitsuki defenseless.

Boruto's breathing quickened, he didn't know what to do, Mitsuki was down. The twin were in danger, "damn it" Boruto cursed under his breath. As Urashiki reeled back his rod, Boruto pounced using his kunai to block the hook from hitting the twins. "Persistent little brat" Urashiki grumbled as he glared down at Boruto. "It about time I teach you some manners" Urashiki shouted as reel his rod back to go for another blow. As Urashiki went to whip his rod, a fast figure caused him to stagger as he used his rod to block the attackers foot.

Floating backwards to move out of reach from the attacker, relentless kicks. Before flipping backwards and landing perfectly on his feet beside me. "Metal" Boruto gasped at his presence, "oh h-hey Boruto, I just..I just thought you could use a hand" Metal blurted out timidly as he shook his head clear and ready his stance. "Great, another brat to deal with-" Urashiki growled in frustration. Suddenly a pillar of rock grew up from the ground, nicking him in shoulder. Blood dripped from his arm as he glared down at the shinobis, he looked more irritated then fazed by the cut.

Boruto glanced down to see Iwabee who created himself a platform to stand on the sand more firmly. Panting heavily as he held onto his weapon, it was faint but Iwabee almost seem to be shaking. Like his hammer was too heavy for him as sweat dripped down his forehead. Boruto glanced at his dripping arm, before he could say anything, Sarada and Inojin jumped out the train window to join the battle field. Sarada activated her Sharingan as she took in the situation. Urashiki took out the rock pillar with a single swing, he seemed to pause for a moment.

Before disappearing into a black hole, Boruto cursed as he glanced all around to even get a glimpse of him. Is he gone, Boruto questioned himself as he didn't see any signs of movement. As Boruto relaxed his posture just slightly, he was caught off guard by the black hole that appeared above Mitsuki's unconscious body. Far from his current position, "Mitsuki" Boruto shouted as he ran but even he knew, he wouldn't reach him in time. "Well, it was fun while it lasted but it's time that I go, I'm sure this boy will be a useful specimen" Urashiki stated as he cared Mitsuki on his shoulder as he flew away into another black hole. Where he was untraceable and out of their reach, "Mitsuki, NO" Boruto screamed as the black hole closed up behind him.

Boruto fell to knees feeling like nothing but a failure, letting his friend be captured and taken away to who knows where.

Shikadai POV

I coughed harshly as I tried to stand only for Denki to sit me back down. "Don't move Shikadai, you'll only make your wound worse" Denki stated firmly, refusing to let me throw myself into battle. During the impact, I must of hit the railing before I landed on the glass, there was massive bruising along with a cut from the train twisted inwards. I must say, it hurt like hell and I just felt woozy. Sarada was the one who tended to my wounds before letting Denki take over. I couldn't stand the commotion going on outside the wrecked train.

It just made me feel useless but then again ChoCho was also in here who decided to take a rest after being hit in the head to hard. I thought about the twins, wondering how well Boruto was taking on the situation. I heard distant yelling as I blinked ever so slowly, I blanked out for a moment or so I thought. When I saw everyone back in the train, Boruto had his arms crossed as stared at the floor. He perked up when he saw me and ran to me side, sliding down to his knees. "Shikadai, you're already, don't do that..you scared me, I couldn't-" Boruto stopped to hug me.

I groaned in pain from the affectionate hug, it was on the tip of his tongue. I thought back to his words, I couldn't.....lose you too, I completed his sentence as I stared at his shivering form. I glanced around as people talking just sounded like ringing to me. I couldn't see Mitsuki anywhere, I weakly opened my mouth. "Where's Mitsuki..." I asked quietly, Boruto pulled away from our hug. The broken expression on his face was a good enough answer for me.

Mitsuki was gone...
