Boruto and Sarada marched sluggishly through the harsh sun that hang brightly over their heads placing an invisible weight to the two.
Laiz looked back to his student from the carriage's roof noticing that they would soon reach their limit, it looked like they needed their rest. He helplessly smiled and called them back.
"Boruto, Sarada" Laiz took out a large umbrella and placed it on top of the roof before jumping off.
"Get on the roof and rest for now" Laiz said to the two as he pointed behind him with a gently smile.
He took out an umbrella of his own and twisted it. Due to neglecting his body for magic, Laiz was far from a shinobi's physical fitness. He kind of regretted that decision now. Luckily he can make due with his chakra for now. Boruto and Sarada's expression changed drastically and returned a smile of joy in return. They didn't even question as to where the huge umbrella came from and ran under it with haste. Laiz could only smile at the dramatic scene as the two melted in bliss under the shade. On the other hand was Mitsuki, who seemed completely fine despite the current conditions.
"You can join them of you want" At first, Laiz had been surprised to find Mitsuki completely fine and void of fatigue but got used to it, unlike the two who made it clear they were jealous and envied Mitsuki's resistance.
"Actually," Laiz gazed at the skies and spoke before Mitsuki can respond.
"It's about time for some snacks," Laiz motioned Mitsuki to follow. He opened his inventory and jumped back under the umbrella with a soft smile. Mitsuki sat down besides Boruto and stared at Laiz in confusion. 'just where will he get the food from? It didn't look like he had a scroll on him.'
Laiz browsed through his inventory and scrolled down before taking out a basket. The three gaped and stared at Laiz fixedly. Was he hiding a scroll somewhere?
"It's a jutsu," Laiz handed out a dango each for them as he explained casually.
"Eat up, there's some more in the basket if you're not satisfied with that" Boruto and Sarada's gaze lingered on the food dazedly as they looked at Laiz's smile in a different light.
"Oh right. Feel free to take some as well, sir" Laiz said sincerely at their elderly client
The elder laughed lightly "How kind of you, " he said as he took a sandwich as if he were waiting for the cue the whole time.

...
Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki stared fixedly at Laiz. Their faces revealed a mixture of awe, confusion and surprise. Even the the elder couldn't hide his shock and stared at Laiz from time to time. Contrary to their emotions, Laiz laid peacefully under the orange sun, illuminating his figure as and the book in his hand. However, as normal that may sound, there was something not right... He was hovering on air.
Laiz put down his book and looked at the four in confusion
"What's wrong?" Laiz tilted his head and asked innocently, as if floating in air was something you see everyday
"H-how are you.." Boruto, Sarada and the elder shakily pointed at Laiz in sync. Laiz paused and looked down,
"Oh, this?" Laiz asked rhetorically as he performed tricks in air
"It's a jutsu" This wasn't exactly true, It was actually a spell from from Oswald's library and was one of the few about flight spells. Although the original spell had its differences due to the different energy, it was the same thing on a fundamental level.
Boruto ran straight to Laiz and jumped around in excitement,
"I wanna fly too! Teach me PLZ!" Boruto's face came close to Laiz, revealing two stars shining brightly in anticipation. Laiz could only laugh at Boruto's at this.
"Alright, alright" Laiz grabbed Boruto's head away from his "I'll teach you later"
...
Laiz and his students came back from the mission without a single problem after delivering the elder and his supplies to his village. They had barely come across anything interesting throughout the way besides a few weak rogue shinobi.
"I DID IT!"
Laiz looked down to see Boruto waving towards him, with a smooth decent, Laiz made it down to Boruto.
"SENSEI! I've finally done it! Watch!" Boruto took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Sarada and Mitsuki moved beside him to observe. After a few seconds of concentrated silence, Boruto's body floated in air. Before quickly rising higher and higher until he was eventually 20 meters off the ground.
Boruto looked down and grinned,
"That's not all!" Boruto focused once more and started flying more fluently as each second passed. It was as if he were a bird. Laiz smiled widely, Sarada shook her head with a smile while Mitsuki looked up in calm amazement. It as he said, he's finally done it.
"Sarada, Mitsuki. Let's pause our training for now" Laiz said to the two, who nodded in response.
"Alright. Boruto come here!" Laiz called Boruto over, there was still another part to this flight spell. Or in this case, flight jutsu
"Congratulations, Boruto!" Laiz said wholeheartedly, seeing Boruto work hard on this jutsu for a week was not only hilarious and entertaining, but also prideful as a teacher.
"Although it looks like it needs some work before it can be more useful, that should be possible at the pace you're going" It wasn't just a compliment, it was also the truth. Honestly, it was no wonder Boruto was considered a genius. Learning a jutsu with a week's time was already considered extremely good, much less the flight spell.
"Hahaha.. Well it's thanks to you, sensei" Boruto laughed embarrassed
Laiz grinned,
"As a reward, how about i show you a demonstration of the next stage?"
