[A/N : Sorry for the wait! I hope you enjoy it. The chapter was delayed because I needed time to plan the plot and had to find inspiration, after all, everyone knows Boruto was total dog shit before Vortex Blue. Anyway, enjoy!"]

(Indra's POV)
When the shinobi in black clothing charged at me, instead of fear, I felt a quiet excitement for the fight. I wasn't sure why, but a smirk appeared on my face.
"Let's dance, shall we?" I said lightly.
I faced them head-on and accelerated, closing the distance in a blur.
The first engaged me in taijutsu, but with the Sharingan, his movements were easy to read. I countered everything he threw at me and finished it with a chakra-infused punch that sent him into a tree breaking it.
Another came at me with a katana. I sidestepped, grabbed his wrist, disarmed him, and used the blade in one motion to knock him out.
Even though it was my first kill, I felt nothing but focus and the flow of combat. The memories I inherited from original Indra helped me stay steady.
A kunai with a detonating tag came flying toward me. I caught it, tore off the tag, and used a lightning-enhanced Body Flicker to appear in front of the attacker. I stuck the tag on his back and kicked him toward another shinobi.
The explosion engulfed both of them.
Another rushed in with an axe. My Sharingan had already read his attack. I turned, kicked his arm to disarm him, and grabbed him by the throat.
"Do you wish to dance as well?" I asked, while my Sharingan spinning.

(Narrator POV)
While Indra fought, Himawari and Masao had their own battles.
Two black-clad shinobi attacked Masao, stabbing forward, but in a puff of smoke, the target vanished. A shadow clone.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet," Masao said. He expelled ignited chakra oil, creating a high-temperature flame that incinerating the two attackers.
Another shinobi tried a sneak attack, only to strike another clone.
Masao appeared behind him and delivered a chakra-enhanced punch to his spine. There was a bone chilling cracking!!! sound, The shinobi collapsed.
"Oops… I might've gone a bit overboard," Masao muttered sheepishly.
He glanced toward the others. I wonder how Indra and Himawari are doing.
---
(Himawari's side)
Four black-clad shinobi attacked at once, launching the Great Fireball Technique.
Himawari activated revolving heaven and spinning 360° and deflected the flames. Then she quickly created a shadow clone Which took her place.
She appeared in front of one using a wind-enhanced Body Flicker and struck with Gentle Fist attacks, incapacitating him.
She formed a Rasengan and drove it into another shinobi's stomach, controlling the power so he wouldn't die.
The remaining two charged with wind-enhanced katanas. Himawari used a partial Rotation to block them.
She disappeared briefly, then reappeared with a Rasengan in each hand and struck both enemies, again keeping them alive but neutralized.
With the threat gone, she relaxed and gave a small victory pose.
I wonder how the others are doing… Indra-kun and Masao, she thought.

(Back to Indra's POV)
Most black-clad shinobi were dead. Only two remained.
They're strong, I thought. Unlike the others, they didn't react to the deaths around them.
"So, who sent you?" I asked. "You're not here for the merchant."
One of them vanished and reappeared in front of me, his body coated in wind chakra.
I responded instantly with lightning chakra. His movements faltered.
I struck him with lightning chakra, purple sparks running through his body and locking his muscles.
"Too slow," I said.
I followed with a series of palm strikes, building charge in his chest. With the final hit, he went unconscious.
After handling him, I turned to the last shinobi, but he was gone.
How did he bypass my sensory, I thought with a little shock after all, my sensing abilities were top notch and I specifically trained them so how could he evaded it, no matter I will get my answers!..
I grabbed the unconscious one and activated my Sharingan. A clicking sound came from the body.
Instinctively, I hurled it away with chakra.
Boom.
The body exploded. The other corpses began detonating in sequence.
I quickly summoned a partial Susanoo, a purple skeleton shielding me from the blasts.
When it ended, the battlefield was cleared.
At the same time, similar explosions happened on Himawari and Masao's side. Masao escaped with Reverse Summoning, and Himawari used revolving heaven the secret technique of the hyuga to defend herself.
The last enemy was nowhere to be found.

(Kakashi's POV)
Kakashi, watching from a distance, was ready to intervene.
But his students had already deployed their own defenses:
Indra, protected by a purple skeleton like rib cage, which oddly reminded him of a certain technique.
Himawari, using revolving heaven.
Masao directly vanished with Reverse Summoning.
Kakashi rubbed his eyes. I need a break.
He knew his students were strong....but this was more than he expected.
They're geniuses… but this is beyond genius. Each of them is capable. And Indra… Indra is on another level, and don't know why is fighting style is oddly resembles Madara's
He grew serious. The black-clad shinobi weren't normal. They weren't here for the merchant, they targeted Team Nine.
I need to report this to Naruto. Something bigger is coming.

Somewhere in the shinobi world in a underground chamber.
Deep underground, a screen displayed the entire fight.
A figure lounged on a sofa. Tall and pale, with two sharp horns and long white hair. A black blindfold covered his eyes. His white coat, patterned with black tomoe, shimmered faintly.
Judashiki Ōtsutsuki.
A faint smile appeared as he watched.
"My, my… how interesting. Hagoromo's eldest son fought well. The others are improving, too. The future will be interesting."
He glanced at a nutrient tank holding Madara.
A knock sounded.
"My lord, may I come in?" a female voice asked.
"Oh it's Ukari. Come in."
She reported: most cloned android shinobi were destroyed, only one returned with data on the Ōtsutsuki descendants.
"Splendid," Judashiki said in his usual enthusiastic tone..
Ukari hesitated.
"Something on your mind?" he asked curiously.
"Why the sudden interest in them? They were weak before. Why now?"
Judashiki smiled.
"I simply wanted to test them… see how much they've grown. They'll be important in the future."
Ukari bowed and left.
Judashiki watched her go, with his usual smiling.
The future is looking interesting… isn't it, hagoromo..
