Boruto and Mitsuki focused their attention at Sarada, who was crouched and hidden on a tree.

Boruto jumped next to Sarada while Mitsuki followed along.

"What do we do?" Boruto asked grimacing at the thought of fighting a Jonin, from his point of view, or anyone really.. They were simply out of match. You could put them against a Chuunin and they're chances of winning probably wouldn't even change very much.

Sarada shook her head and sighed at Boruto

"Our objective isn't to win, we just need to take the thing on his head away from him"

'I don't get why Mitsuki follows this idiot around'

Sarada was aware that Mitsuki was probably at the same level or higher than them in terms of ability. His intelligence was also decent from what she knew. That's why she didn't get it.

"You're right!" Boruto ignored Sarada's tone and let his smile blossom at the idea. Don't get him wrong, he wasn't afraid to go against Laiz. He just had another goal right now..

Mitsuki chuckled warmly at Boruto before going back to Sarada.

"So, how should we take it from him?" Despite the smile on his face, his question contained nothing but seriousness, a Jounin wasn't a joking matter.

Sarada sighed and looked at the two seriously "I've got a plan.. But we need to work as a team"

Boruto and Mitsuki shared a look,

"Are you really Sarada?" The two asked with their jaws wide open.

"Shut up.." It was hard to admit but.. She usually wasn't this cooperative

Mitsuki chuckled at Sarada while Boruto straight up laughed with no constraint

After they were calm enough, they turned back to Sarada, who looked like she was just an inch away from punching them in the head.

"Let's hear it" Boruto asked with a smirk as Mitsuki smiled on his side.

...

'I wonder what they'll do..' Laiz asked in boredom as spectated his new student's actions through his elemental senses.

Laiz yawned tiredly, he was bored. And that was because there was nothing to do besides stalking the three and sitting still. What made it worse was that his Elemental senses couldn't detect sounds, in other words, he can't hear what they were talking about.

He actually considered making a techniques to solve that on the spot but, he wanted to see what the three could do. So, he held that thought for later and lowered his sensing abilities to cover 15 meters ahead in every direction.

As for other limits? Well, one was to stay defensive unless he's forced to and no lethal jutsu. Oh, he also planned to do this blindfolded. And no, he wasn't being arrogant, he's just training his elemental senses. While he can process the information input from the skill, managing it was always a bother due to it's difference to his usual sensory organ. He wanted to actually get comfortable to it before mixing it with his other sensors.

And that's why his shinobi headband is now covering his eyes.

He had to say that moving with elemental senses felt like viewing and controlling a character from weird perspectives. Oh! There's also the fact that he can still use his technomagic vision. As a result, everything around him was being calculated at a speed that could probably frighten the most advance A.I's. In fact.. it felt like he could see the future of the area his elemental senses are covering.

Laiz opened his mouth only to close it again, he was speechless. It felt incredible! The thought that he could do this with the two ability never actually occurred.

'Am i stupid?' Laiz actually meant that question. When he thought back to his actions since attaining his intelligence and wisdom, he had made a few mistakes that seemed brutally obvious. Like the time he forgot he could scan all the books in the library by using his elemental senses.

It may seem normal to make such mistakes but, he's not quite normal. Far from it.

...

Laiz smiled almost immediately upon sensing three genins.

Laiz quickly identified their positions. From what he say they're likely trying to sneak up on him.

Laiz acted as if he couldn't sense the three, and simply kept his pose lazily.

'What are they up to?' Laiz asked himself

The three were circled around Laiz in a triangular formation. Boruto and Mitsuki was the closest to him while Sarada was way back.

As much as he wanted to find out, he doesn't have the time now as Boruto was quickly closing in behind him.

Instantly, information of formulas for different values involving movement was calculated by his technomagic vision.

With the amount of forces acting on Boruto, Laiz knew Boruto was going 14 meters per second. And from the difference of their distance he could tell he was gonna reach him in roughly 5 seconds.

Which is actually pretty slow.

'I'm guessing he was relying on his stealth' Laiz thought as he turned to Boruto.

While Boruto was surprised, he quickly got serious and jumped towards Laiz.

'Too easy' Laiz could have thrown a few projectiles to Boruto and his options would have been severely limited to blocking. And as easy that sound to a shinobi, even they had to admit that blocking five at the same time would be hard, if not impossible.

Boruto was lucky that Laiz didn't take the initiative, he was just gonna observe for now.

Laiz lazily took a step to his side and let Boruto fly past him.

However, Boruto seemed to have predicted this and took out two kunais from his pouch to his hands and threw it towards Laiz at the same time.

'That looks cool..' Laiz had to admit, throwing those two kunai in air and sliding away made Boruto look awesome.

Laiz blocked both kunais and turned towards Boruto.

That was when Boruto finally noticed, he was fighting Laiz blindfolded!

"What?!" Boruto shouted loudly

'How did he do that.. Without his vision!?' Boruto gawked at Laiz.

Laiz couldn't help but chuckled at Boruto's expression

"What happened Boruto?" With a wide smile, Laiz asked rhetorically.

However, before he could get an answer, Laiz furrowed his brows and jumped up.

Just after Laiz made his move, Mitsuki flew toward Laiz previous spot. It seems like he had finally joined in.

knowing that he missed his chance, he stopped right beside Boruto and nudged him gently.

"Boruto calm down... Anyone else could have attacked you instead of joking around" Mitsuki stated seriously as he kept his eyes on Laiz.

Mitsuki flashed a small smile towards Boruto

"Besides, our chance of winning only increases if he's gonna fight us like that,"

Boruto laughed

"You're right" Boruto took a deep breath "Let's go!" and exclaimed loudly.

Giving Boruto a final smile, both rushed towards Laiz and attacked.

"Isn't this interesting?" Laiz asked the question to no one in particular.
