On the other side, in the Naruto world, when Serafall and Nova's clone accepted the mission request, they were instantly teleported—appearing in a dense forest, where the light barely pierced through the thick canopy.
They both saw the figure of a young boy no more than 11 years old, moving swiftly from tree to tree.
"Looks like it's him," Serafall said, and Nova's clone nodded.
"But he is very young... why is he carrying a weapon?" she said with a sad tone.
The excitement on her face from when she first came to this world was now gone.
"This world is much darker than yours. Although in your world, your race is called evil and inhuman, here you would be seen as somewhat normal people," Nova said, because at least from the manga and anime he consumed, there were not many extreme people in DXD compared to the Naruto world.
At least he had never seen a child fighting in life-and-death battles or getting killed in the show.
"Is that so..." Serafall said, then looked at him.
"Let's stop him and have a talk," she said.
"We don't have time for that, I suppose," I said after sensing a fight going on in the distance.
We didn't talk much after that and landed softly behind Itachi, who was moving at high speed, his eyes sharp and filled with urgency.
Sensing the sudden presence, Itachi instinctively stopped, spinning around into a defensive stance.
But when he saw Nova and Serafall, his tension eased slightly, although his Sharingan was still active—he could feel their overwhelming power, at least in Serafall.
"Itachi," Nova's clone said, his voice calm, "no time to waste. We need to move fast; otherwise, it will be too late."
Itachi gave a curt nod, trusting them instinctively.
"Follow me. Shisui is up ahead—he's still fighting. I can sense his chakra."
Without waiting, he darted forward again, even faster now.
Nova glanced at Serafall helplessly and then at Itachi.
"Itachi, hold on," he said.
With a flick of his hand, Nova cast flight magic, lifting Itachi effortlessly into the air.
Itachi's eyes widened in surprise.
Only a handful of shinobi could fly, and in today's time, only one was alive who could—and now a stranger was casually granting him flight like it was nothing.
But there was no time to question it. They soared together, heading toward the sounds of battle.
Itachi and Nova flew with flight magic, while Serafall used her demonic wings, which again surprised Itachi—he had never seen a non-human who looked so human.
He was also surprised by the strange clothes they wore, completely different from the typical attire of the ninja world, but he did not voice it out.
They arrived just in time.
In a clearing surrounded by massive trees, Shisui was locked in fierce combat against several masked Root ninja.
Blood stained his clothes, and he was clearly injured—his breathing ragged—but he had not given up.
Shisui twisted and dodged the attack of the Root ninja, his movements graceful even in exhaustion.
However, the Root ninja were relentless, aiming to kill him.
One of them lunged forward with a kunai aimed straight for Shisui's heart.
Itachi, seeing this, quickly formed hand signs, but he was too late—Nova had already taken action.
"Not on my watch," Nova muttered.
He raised a hand lazily.
Boom!
A fireball the size of a boulder roared forward, engulfing the Root ninja in flames, and a big explosion happened. Before he even realized what had just happened, he was dead.
The sudden explosion shook the ground.
The fireball didn't die out instantly—instead, the flames moved toward the remaining ninja.
The remaining Root ninja reacted instantly.
"Water Style: Wall of Water!"
"Water Style: Wall of Water!"
"Water Style: Wall of Water!"
"Water Style: Wall of Water!"
They spewed torrents of water from their mouths, trying desperately to block the fire.
But Nova's flames weren't ordinary.
They were dragon flames inherited from a true dragon—the highest existence in the Tensura world.
The water evaporated before it even touched the fireball, and in the next moment, the flames swallowed the remaining enemies whole, burning even the trees behind them.
Their screams were brief—and then silence returned to the forest.
Shisui staggered back, breathing heavily.
After coming to his senses, he looked toward his helpers and frowned—they were flying—and then his eyes fell on the one he knew.
His eyes widened when he saw Itachi, floating midair beside two unknown but powerful figures.
Itachi landed beside him immediately, worry etched across his face.
"Shisui! Are you alright? What happened?"
Shisui coughed, clutching his side. "Danzo... he took my eye..."
His voice was filled with frustration and pain.
"He didn't trust me at all. He thought I would..."
He paused after realizing there were two unknown people present—he shouldn't reveal such secrets to outsiders.
Nova walked closer, hands behind his back, scanning Shisui's injuries with a critical eye.
"At least you survived," he said lightly.
Shisui gave a weak, grateful smile.
"Thank you... for saving me."
Beside him, Serafall beamed proudly.
"Ahahaha! Don't worry about it! I'm a Magical Girl—it's my duty to save people!"
She placed her hands on her hips, posing dramatically.
But after a second, she realized something—she had done nothing—and turned toward Nova.
"Nova-chan! That's so unfair! Why did you kill them all?! I wanted to show off my powers too!"
Nova chuckled softly.
"You'll get your chance," he said. "You can heal him," he added, which brought a bright smile to her face.
His eyes shifted slightly—sensing a presence nearby.
Serafall, on the other hand, used a healing potion to heal Shisui, who thanked her—and she accepted it with open arms.
"Found you," Nova said as he looked at a young boy, no older than 16, who stood quietly behind a tree trunk, half-hidden in the shadows.
His face was calm—too calm for someone so young—but Nova could sense the surprise and confusion hidden in his heart.

Boy POV
"They are not from the Naruto anime... who are they?"
Thinking to himself, he finally realized:
"Are they from Boruto?"
The boy's face showed a small frown.
"Although I haven't watched that show, my friend said the characters there are stronger than Naruto. They can even travel back in time."
"So... should I abandon my plan of taking his eyes?"
The moment this thought came to him, his pride rejected it.
"I have EMS eyes... there's nothing to fear."
