"Target spotted..." Boruto nodded slowly. "Keep an eye out. She'll be on you in thirty seconds, Boruto."

"Got it," Boruto hissed into the communicator. A woman was walking slowly down the path, twirling a kunai in her hand.

"Get ready..." Boruto gripped his own kunai and narrowed his eyes. "Wait!" the voice on the other end snapped. "Abort! We've got company! Do not engage! I repeat, do not engage the enemy! We will regroup."

"I've got this," Boruto snapped.

"Don't you dare! Fall back, Boruto!"

"I said I've got this, Mitsuki," Boruto answered.

"Boruto! You get back—"Boruto pulled out the com in his ear and sighed. The woman was coming closer and he narrowed his eyes. Mitsuki wouldn't dare jeopardize the mission to stop him from going rogue.

Dad's gonna kill me, he thought with a smirk. Ah well. Wouldn't be the first time! He waited for the woman. He could practically feel Mitsuki glaring at him. The young man had a death stare that was for sure. Boruto tensed as she passed directly underneath him. He lunged, but she wouldn't be an S-Ranked criminal if it was that easy to attack her. She swung her kunai, but Boruto dodged expertly.

"You're cute," she said with a grin.

"Thanks, but not interested," Boruto retorted. He looked her over and went over her file in his head. Master of genjutsu... Known as a Siren to anyone who encountered her. She would have been a low-life criminal had she not attempted to assassinate a Kage and then escaped from Hōzuki Castle.

"Three more in the bushes. Seems like you attacked out of turn."

Boruto shrugged.

"Fools die young," the woman hissed.

"So I've noticed," Boruto answered. He sighed deeply and she lunged towards him. He jumped back, aiming a kick towards her. She changed directions and swung her weapon at his leg. He hissed, but let the attack come and instead kicked back to her, pushing through the pain.

Suddenly a blue blur appeared behind her. Boruto groaned as his partner wrapped his arm around her throat, stopping just before snapping her neck. She went limp. "That was stupid," Mitsuki snapped.

"I had it handled," Boruto snapped.

"No you didn't. She was preparing a genjutsu." The pale, blue-haired man poked his friend on the forehead. "You may be smart, but not even you can fight off that strong of genjutsu."

Boruto narrowed his eyes, but dropped the expression when the rest of the squad came. "So, who was the company?"

"Bandits," one of the men said. "They decided not to get involved in a ninja fight."

Boruto smiled through his wolf mask and turned to Mitsuki. Even if he wore a mask as well, Boruto could see that he wasn't pleased with Boruto's attitude. "You still could have gotten us killed," he grumbled. "They could have been back up." One of the remaining members picked up their target. "What am I going to tell your father?"

"You could tell him that the mission was a success..." Boruto suggested. "And leave out the detail about me going rogue."

Mitsuki sighed deeply. "I cannot."

"You could."

"I cannot."

"But you could."
