'WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??!! THE INSTANT THIS GUY WAS SUMMONED HE STARTED TO ATTACK ME WITHOUT A WORD!!'

"HEY, YOU BASTARD!!WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" - Eiji

The giant red snake remained silent and continued to chase him.

"CANT YOU TALK OR WHAT?? AREN'T YOU SUMMONING-ANIMALS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK? OR DID YOU FALL ON YOUR HEAD AS AN INFANT?!"

"AAARGH!!! SHUT UP, YOU DAMN HUMAN!! YOU WILL REGRET SUMMONING ME!! I WILL COMPLETELY DEVOUR YOU!!"

"SO YOU CAN TALK? THEN TELL ME WHAT THE HELL YOUR PROBLEM IS??"

"MY PROBLEM IS YOU, TREACHEROUS HUMANS!!!"

Because Eiji died in his former life, when Boruto was just at the beginning, he didn't know that Garaga was betrayed by his former human master, which resulted in him losing his eye.

Since then, he hated humans to the limit and was always so pissed, that he was even a bother to the other snakes in Ryuchi Cave.

Anyway, Eiji didn't know that and just tried to stall for time until enough time passes, which would result in Garaga's return to Ryuichi Cave.

Of course, he could try to fight him, but he didn't want to risk pissing the snakes of by killing or injuring one of them.

If he knew that the other snakes actually hated Garaga and would even be happy if he died, who knows what face he would make right now.

"TREACHEROUS MY ASS!!!WHO THE HELL PISSED IN YOUR BREAKFAST, THAT YOU RAGE LIKE THAT?!"

"BASTARD!! STOP RUNNING AND LET ME EAT YOU!!"

'This guy isn't listening at all...hmm?'

While running, Eiji saw Naruto and Jiraiya.

'Great, if Jiraiya is here, he can help get this freak under control, so I won't have to run around stalling for time!'

"You are saying to not get involved with him, but he is running towards us, you know?" - Jiraiya

Naruto made an unhappy face: "But I really don't want to get involved with him right now, or else I lose precious training time..."

"AHAHAHA, SEE??? ALL OF YOU HUMANS ARE TRAITORS!!! YOU LURED ME TOWARDS THEM SO I CAN EAT THEM WHILE YOU ESCAPE!"

"YOU PARANOID FUCKER!!! I RAN TO THEM FOR HELP!!"

'This brat has some bad tongue, but looks like I'll have to take action...' - Jiraiya used some hand signs and then started to breathe a huge fire wall towards Garaga.

"Wow that's an amazing move Pervy Sage!" - Naruto

'NOOO!! When I meant help, I wanted him to restrain this shitty snake. Shit, if this kills the snake, I won't be able to set a foot into Ryuchi Cave!' - he jumped in front of Garaga to black Jiraiya's fire jutsu.

"!" - Garaga

"What is he doing?"- Jiraiya

"Ah man, this will grill me if I don't do anything...Konoha Wind-Spirit Style: Autumn Gale!" - wind starting to rotate around his body, dispersing the flames.

This was the only one of the 4 Wind-Spirit Style techniques, which didn't involve any kind of kenjutsu.

Instead, it was purely a wind ninjutsu - it didn't look remarkable, but because of the rotation movement of the wind around his body, it had some decent defensive capabilities.

Of course, it couldn't block strong and even certain medium level attacks, but the advantage of it was, that it would last for some time.

It was like a wind armor, which would block throwing weapons on its own, as long as it's active.

Even though wind is weak against fire, the wind just redirected the fire away from Eiji's body, so he wasn't hit.

Garaga watched with a bewildered expression: why did this boy jump in to defend him?

He wasn't sure how to react, so he just decided to keep watching.

"BOY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? DIDN'T YOU WANT HELP?? GET AWAY FROM HERE, IT'S DANGEROUS!!" - Jiraiya shouted towards Eiji.

"JO, WHEN I SAID HELP I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM, JUST RESTRAIN HIM!! I SUMMONED THIS GUY, SO IT WOULD BE BAD IF HE DIES!!"

'Summoned him? Who is he? How did he learn to summon snakes? I should investigate this, in case Orochimaru is behind this...'

Meanwhile, Garaga watched this exchange, he made his mind up.

He realized that he would be no match for Jiraiya and decided to leave: "CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY BASTARD!! NEXT TIME I WILL DEVOUR YOU!!"

"WAIT!!!" - Eiji rushed towards Garaga, while smoke started appearing around him, indicating that he is about to return.

Eiji disappeared with Garaga, leaving Naruto and Jiraiya behind.

"What the hell was that? And why is he suddenly naked?" - Jiraiya

"Yeah, he somehow often ends up being naked. That's why I said he is trouble..." - Naruto

It turned out that even though Autumn Gale saved his body from being touched by the flames, his clothes ended up being completely burned.
