Chapter 45 A GENERAL'S POWER

The Spot Where Boruto Disappeared

Formerly the two silver-haired Hokage had been confronted with silence. The only sound the voices they used to convey their confusion to one another. This is the spot where Boruto vanished but it has now become a more important spot in the course of their lives. They are now in mortal danger. The silence has been replaced, now they can hear their own heartbeats, such is the adrenaline pumping through their veins.

Previously they have encountered two generals and both situations posed serious risks to their lives. The first of those generals was General Clyde, the leader of the original invaders, who was defeated only by Naruto himself. The second was not so long ago, an attack on the village by General Georgia, the sister of the poisonous Colonel Martin. That attack was survived only with the help of the other Hokage and of the newly ascended Peterson. This time they are on their own.

Is there a chance of winning in this situation? Or is the goal simply survival?

"Kakashi, this guy is a general" Tobirama states as he holds his gaze on Blackburn, not daring to move it, "If we want to beat him we are going to have to work together".

Only one of them has ever defeated a general in single combat. Uzumaki Naruto himself.

Kakashi knows this as well as anybody. "Of course, that was my intention from the beginning".

They both know that Kakashi's powers make him an expert at retreating. If Tobirama were to offer a distraction it would be enough for the 6th Hokage to make a getaway. Neither are willing to take that option. They are both leaders of the Hidden Leaf Village and are duty bound not to abandon another citizen of that village.

Kakashi pulls two shuriken into his hands, slowly raising them while everyone else remains motionless. Everything is about to kick-off. Once the first attack is truly thrown it will be a relentless blitz before the first pause in combat arrives. Two space-time users with basic control of the invaders power, a master of that power. There is no way this battle won't be one of incredible speed.

A gust of wind.

A twitch from the 2nd Hokage.

A glare from Kakashi's Mangekyo.

A smile from the attacking general.

Everything begins.

Kakashi is the first to react, he infuses his shuriken with the power of lightning. Lightning is the element that he has understood. He has become one of the few locals in history to understand the invaders' power. As that lightning reaches incredible levels of intensity within a fraction of a second, he launches both shuriken forward.

The power behind the throw worthy of a Hokage, the two dancing stars separate and a tether of electricity appears between them. It's an impromptu lightning blade, cutting through the air, on course to behead the enemy.

Blackburn is unperturbed by the power of the attack, instead he is happy. This is what he has been waiting for, a local who can put up a decent fight. The behemoth claps his hands together, summoning two giant pillars of stone as he does so.

The pillars have been placed perfectly. The shuriken collide with the pillars at great speed, creating a sizeable dent but not puncturing them. As the shuriken slow, the lightning loses power. As they come to a halt, so the electrical tether disappears.
