Boruto - Boudicans: the enemy after Isshiki's fall

Chapter 6- Macduff of Fife

A few days have passed, it is now a sunny day in the town square of the Hidden Leaf. Sarada Uchiha, who is a Chunin, is waiting for her team to group up for their next mission. The last couple of days have been weird for her, her father is home more often, and he is trying to be with her and her mother. Sarada was dumbfounded at the change, which did not happen till Sasuke's new simple mission of guarding the Boudican boy.

What could one foreign boy do to suddenly change her father?

"Hey Sarada" says Boruto, who just came with Kawaki and Mitsuki, "We are all here now!"

Sarada now had no time to ponder the question.

"Ok Guys!" She spoke. "We have a new mission, A-rank mission, we have to guard the leader of the Boudican boy's former band, Macduff of Fife.

"What an interesting name, if I say so myself." said Mitsuki.

"They're Boudicans after all, different culture, different names?" Asks Kawaki.

"Boudican or not, the point is we have a mission, and we must get to it" replied Sarada.

Sarada takes any mission seriously, for her goal is to be the Hokage someday, so now in any way possible, she must better herself.

When they traveled to the location of their mission, Boruto looked at Sarada, as he and the others were following her.

He didn't know but for some reason, Sarada seemed happier than usual. This peaked Boruto's curiosity.

"Hey Sarada, is something going on, you seem Glad?" asked Boruto.

Sarada face goes red for an instant in embarrassment, then responded.

"Since Kara is eliminated, my dad has a simple mission in the Leif with the Boudican, so as a result, he is home more often, so yah I think that's why" replied Sarada with a small smile.

"Mr. Sasuke is home more often now, well that's perfect, he can help me train some more." Said Boruto.

"Now, now he's my dad, don't think you can try to steal him away." Said Sarada in a competitive tone.

At that moment, team 7 had arrived at the rendezvous point. It was a huge tent in the middle of the forest. They all went inside.

Inside was a bearded middle-aged man with grayish hair. This was the Sir Macduff of Fife,

The whole team 7 was perplexed at his appearance, because of it, they could tell he is not from the Shinobi world. Macduff was a tall man, about as tall as Naruto Uzumaki. He wore a tunic, that is made out of thousands of metal rings, with another colored tunic covering it. On this tunic had peculiar symbols on him. His tunic was divided into four between two symbols. One simple with a red lion, and yellow background. The other with a white zagged line, a yelloew deer head above the line, and two yellow seas shells bellow it, plus a green background.

"You are here, good we must go!" he said. He was a straightforward man with a Boudican accent.

Hey, uh... metal ring guy, what do exactly do you need us to guard you from" asked Boruto.

"No time, I will explain on the way" Macduff Replied.

Sarada grabbed Boruto's shoulder. "Boruto!" scolded Sarada in a quite tone. "Call him Mr. Macduff, not some observant weird name, I fear you may have insulted him!"

Boruto gulped and nodded in compliance.

They were now all walking in the forest. Macduff was in front, with team 7 behind. With a closer look at the rings forming Macduff's under tunic, Boruto realizes that must be really heavy to wear, yet Macduff walked like it was normal clothing. If Macduff is this strong, whom does he fear enough to ask for Leif's help. Boruto now believes they may face a strong opponent.

"For your mission, you must guard me during a private conference of mine" Said Macduff, as they were all walking. "There is a man who wears the same armor as me, wielding a sword or shield, who is trying to get to me, you must guard me."

"Judging by the armor, he must be really strong." Said Boruto. "I wonder what his jutsu or chakra nature are."

"Well!" Macduff said. "He has no chakra, like me, I know because we are from the same people."

"How is that possible?" cried Sarada, "Chakra is supposed to be the living force of this world."

"Of your world, but not mine, I was born and live without it along with my people, who live without it." Replied Sir Macduff.

"Then this must be easy then." Said Boruto pounding his fists together.

"Don't get cocky!" Said Kawaki, "He may have other means."

Sarada was taken aback by that. So many questions raced in her head. Kawaki accepted the no chakra statement as fact. Boruto seems a little suspicious of Macduff, like he is hiding something. Mitsuki, who did not join in conversation, was just smiling in the back.

"Hey Mitsuki?" Asked Boruto, "What's going on?"

"Oh, I am just amazed at the idea of someone with no-chakra." Answered Mitsuki. "If they don't have it, why do they do to make up for it, just so many possibilities."

"Well, that probably makes all four of us." Replied Boruto.

After about half an hour of walking, they reached their destination. It was the entrance to a ravine on top of a hill.

"I am having a conference in this ravine, guard the entrance and don't let anyone in." ordered Macduff.

Team 7 nodded in accordance.

Now it was team 7 guarding the ravine taking turns with shifts.

Since Kawaki was first on shift. Mitsuki, Sarada and Boruto were playing cards.

"It doesn't make sense" says Boruto. "How does Macduff and the other Boudicans not have chakra?"

"I am in the same boat as you." Replied Sarada. "I knew they were a different people, but now it feals as if they are from a different world entirely."

"I guess they make up for the chakra with their strength or speed?" said Mitsuki. "That Iron ring tunic seemed really heavy, yet Macduff walked at normal speed with it."

"Well, strength sure, but I doubt speed, because that metal ring tunic ought to slow someone down, like those weights Metal Lee's dad wears. " replied Boruto.

They played cards for a bit, and before anyone could figure out who was winning, Kawaki disrupted the game.

"Guys! Get up! We have Company!" yelled Kawaki.

As they were talking, a black figure came out of the woods clad in Boudican armor.
