---After the Events of the Mujina Bandits Arc---

Team 2 (Sakuya, Yaeko, and Tsubaki) and Team 7 (Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki) gather at the Hokage's office for their joint mission briefing. Naruto stands before them, explaining the situation.

Naruto: "We have received intel that the Hidden Mist Village is under attack by a rogue group of shinobi led by Ao, a former Mist shinobi. They are after the powerful technology hidden in the village, and we need to stop them before they cause any more damage."

Tsukasa, who is also present at the briefing, speaks up: "I'll be accompanying Team 2 on this mission. The Hidden Mist Village holds valuable information, and I won't let it fall into the wrong hands."

Boruto: "We've got your back, Uncle Tsukasa! Let's show them what we can do."

As they arrive at the Hidden Mist Village, Tsukasa divides the teams to cover different areas. Team 2 heads to the outskirts of the village, while Team 7 goes towards the center.

Team 2 encounters Ao and his rogue group first. They engage in a fierce battle, with Tsukasa showcasing his Ketsuryūgan and bloodline techniques. Sakuya, Yaeko, and Tsubaki also demonstrate their skills, working together as a well-coordinated team.

Meanwhile, Team 7 faces off against the other members of the rogue group, with Boruto using his Shadow Clones to confuse the enemy. Sarada unleashes her Sharingan, analyzing their movements, and Mitsuki uses his Snake Lightning Jutsu to immobilize them.

After defeating the rogue shinobi, both teams converge in the heart of the Hidden Mist Village, where Ao awaits.

Tsukasa: "Ao, surrender peacefully. We don't want to harm you."

Ao sneers: "You Leaf shinobi always think you're superior. But I won't back down."

The battle intensifies as Ao reveals his modified ninja tools, which give him an advantage. Tsukasa and Team 2 struggle against his powerful attacks, but they manage to hold their ground.

Boruto: "We need to come up with a plan, guys!"

Sakuya: "I've got an idea. Tsubaki, use your stealth jutsu and distract Ao from behind."

Tsubaki nods and disappears, using her stealth abilities to sneak up on Ao. This diversion allows Tsukasa to land a powerful blow on Ao, immobilizing him.

With Ao defeated, the joint mission is a success. The Hidden Mist Village is safe once again.

Naruto congratulates both teams on their exceptional teamwork and success.

Naruto: "You all did a great job. I'm proud of each one of you."

Sakuya, Tsukasa, Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki, Yaeko, and Tsubaki stand side by side, knowing that they make an unstoppable team.

---After the Ao Fight & When they walked over to the issue---

As Garou and Kawaki face off in a fierce battle, the intensity of their clash causes Boruto's Karma seal to react. He clutches his arm, feeling the power surging through him.

Sakuya and Sarada look on with concern, knowing the potential dangers of the Karma seal.

Sakuya: "Boruto, are you alright? Your Karma is reacting!"

Boruto grits his teeth, trying to control the power within him.

Boruto: "I'm fine. I can handle it."

The fight between Garou and Kawaki intensifies, with both using their incredible strength and abilities. Kawaki manages to overpower Garou, and in a desperate move, Garou unleashes a devastating blast towards him.

Boruto's Karma reacts instinctively, absorbing the blast before it reaches Kawaki.

Kawaki, exhausted from the battle, collapses on the ground, unconscious. Boruto staggers but manages to stay on his feet, the power of the Karma taking a toll on him.

Sakuya rushes to Boruto's side, supporting him.

Sakuya: "Boruto, you need to rest. Let's get Kawaki back to the village."

Sarada assists in bringing Kawaki back to the Hidden Leaf Village, where Naruto takes charge of watching over him.

Naruto examines Kawaki's condition, concerned about the power of Karma and its implications. He decides to keep Kawaki under close watch until they can find a way to control the Karma seal.

Naruto: "We need to be cautious. The power of Karma is not to be taken lightly."

Boruto nods, still feeling the effects of using the Karma seal.

Boruto: "I know, Dad. But we have to figure out how to master this power."

Later, in his room, Boruto contemplates the power of Karma and its connection to Momoshiki.

Boruto: "I won't let this power control me. I'll find a way to master it and protect the ones I care about."

He clenches his fist, determined to find a way to harness the power of Karma without succumbing to its dark influence.

The Hidden Leaf Village begins researching Karma and the Otsutsuki clan. Boruto, Sarada, and Sakuya train harder to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

As the days pass, they grow stronger and more united, ready to face whatever threats may come their way.
