Boruto Pov:
Jusori licks my face as I stroke his fur. It's been a long time since I've seen his soul searching eyes and his golden fur.
"You got big." I smile genuinely. I haven't seen him since I think I was about eight. Back then he was as big as a small dog.
"Raijin?" Shikidai calls. I turn my back to my purring griffin and shoot a smirk to the young lords and ladies scaling the canyon walls.
"Yes?" Behind Shikidai is a gaping Cho Cho. I snicker at her. 'Dangerous beast'. I snort.
"Why aren't you being mauled to death right now?!" Inojin cuts in.
I cast a sly look to Jusori and he takes his cue.
His large paw with his claws extended makes a swipe at me. It's slow for him but I stick to my part and roll to the side.
"You just had to say something y'know." I glare at Inojin.
Jusori growls with the voice of a hurricane and the ledge we're on vibrates.
"Time to leave. NOW!" Shikidai grabs my hand and pulls me back.
"Go, I'll distract it." I pull myself away and launch myself at the griffin.
We entertain each other with short parries and mock fighting before Jusori jumps and knocks me to the ground, his paw pinning me to the ground and he growls.
"LET HIM GO!" Mitsuki yells.
The dude runs with lethal speed at my friend and charges up a lightning technique.
Fuck me. It's a joke. Do they not get that?
Sarada and Shikidai charge up a fire style each and Inojin is busy painting away.
Cho Cho copies her father's partial expansion jutsu.
I push away my griffin's paw and stand up with my arms out.
"Dam, people. It was a joke. Jusori won't hurt me."
Shikidai and Sarada's fire techniques recede and Inojin stops mid drawing. Cho Cho's hand shrieks back to normal size and Mitsuki halts his charge.
"But the griffin was about to eat you!" Mitsuki glares.
"Jusori wouldn't do that! He would just throw me off the cliff. But since he hasn't done that yet I'm hopeful he lets me on for a ride." I give my friend a nudge. My elbow disappears in his thick fur.
"So you were faking it!" Sarada looks outraged.
"WHaT! Faking it. Me? Never." I shake my head.
She growls like a kitten. "I hope your bruises hurt."
The other griffins move back to our ledge and sport curious but dangerous looks towards us.
"Can we go for a ride?" I ask Jusori. He yowls in my ear.
"Oww." I flick his ear in revenge. He nudges me forward with his nose.
"Come on!" I put my hands in my hips and tilt my head. "Pleeaaassseeee." I add.
He yips and crouches down so I can climb on his haunches and reach his back.
