Solo

Chapter 10

Boruto

I didn't know if I was making the right choice right now, but I didn't care. Not only was I curious to know more about Rain, but he is also a potential threat. He has been good to me so far, but I can't risk anything. Again, here I was caring for the village and the people there even after everything.

My thoughts suddenly went back to the day I erased everyone's memories. I was betrayed but I started to wonder if I had gone too far. At the time, I just couldn't take it anymore. Everyone was being so fake and the one person who wasn't was the person I hated the most. Damn... life is hard

Rain and I walked a bit farther before settling down on a rock. I didn't know who would start but I could tell that he was anxious as well. I never imagined I would tell anyone about my past. To be honest, I wish that I could've erased my memories as well. I was going to but I didn't have it in me to do it. 

"Since I came to you, I'll tell you my story first. I'll give you a warning though, it is very complicated." I told him and he nodded.

"I was born into a pretty famous family. My parents are both very strong and well known from where I'm from. Together, they raised both me and my younger sister and taught us how to be strong just like them. However, my father had a very important job and wasn't in my life as much as I wanted him to.

Everyone admired him and I too wanted to be just like him when I was younger, but he barely trained with me. He started to miss important moments in me and my family's life and it started to piss me off. I tried to understand but all I could think about was how desperately I wanted a father in my life. 

Then I came time for the chunin exams and I wanted to win so bad. I wished that my father would've trained with me but he didn't. So, out of desperation, I cheated during the match with my best friend. 

When my father found out, he publicly exposed me in front of everyone. I know now that I messed up and that I probably deserved that, but I was madder of the fact that he was disappointed in me. The look he gave me killed me inside. All I could think about was that the outcome wouldn't have been like this if he had been a father to me. 

So... I ran away. 

Everyone in the village looked at me with either pity or anger and my father refused to talk to me. I was so tired of being such a disappointment all the time so I made a vow to get stronger on my own and come back and show the village that I am worthy. 

While I trained in hiding, one of my closest friends from the village joined me. She told me that everyone missed me and that I would be accepted if I returned. She made me feel happy and made me feel worthy to return, but it was all a lie... 

I was told that she only came to me so that she could have the privilege of saying that she brought me back home. She saw me as a burden to the village and wanted to just throw me in jail the second I returned so that I could learn my lesson. She tricked me into thinking that my friend who I cheated against had forgiven me and that my sister missed me. But those were lies as well. 

Ironically, the only person who didn't lie to me was my father. He was the only one who tried to bring me home because he wanted me home. But at that point, I was done with the village and its people. I was going to do them all a favor and erase myself from their lives. My family could then move on and stop having to worry about me." 

After I told Rain the last part, his eyes widened in a sort of realization. I knew that he would connect the dots eventually. "Wait, didn't the leaf village have their, and others around the area, memories erased a couple of years ago? Your father... he's...." 

"Yes, my name is not Sol... My real name is Uzumaki Boruto and my father is Naruto." I told him and his eyes widened even more. "After the incident, I went back to my base and tried to live a normal life. I became a vigilante and took jobs to earn money. Sasuke found me and and basically forced me to join this group. They consider me a suspect so I accepted but I don't plan on staying long."

I told him and he looked like he was processing everything. I knew that it was a lot to take in because of how complex the story has been. But now I was anxious to hear his story as well. I wanted to know how he was connected to the people we were trying to find and stop. I wanted to know if he was good or bad...

"You reminded me of Naruto when I saw you. He told me that he always wanted a son, but I guess he does have one." He told me and it made me feel a bit sad. "I guess now I'll tell you my story. It's not as complex as yours but it help make everything happening make sense..."

Naruto

I was so exhausted. I've been having a hard time sleeping since I had that dream about the mystery boy. I knew that I was probably looking too much into it but I couldn't help it. I wanted to know if the boy was real, even of its absurd to think that I have a son.

The more I thought about this, the sleepier I got. I've been stressed out and I knew that I need to let to it out. A quick nap wouldn't hurt...

I suddenly was standing inside of my home. I looked around and saw myself knocking on our guest room. I didnt understand why I would be knocking there. "Boruto, can we talk?" My dream self asked, leaning against the door. But we still heard no answer. "I'm sorry, okay. I wanted to be mad at you, but what I said was too far."

I wasnt sure who I was talking too. None of this was making sense. No one ever uses that room. It's basically storage at this point.

After the dream me did not hear a response, he decided to open the door. We both entered the room and looked around. Nobody was there.

"Boruto!" He yelled, looking around the room for someone. I noticed the pictures facing down. Under it, there a letter which my dream self picked up. He opened it up and read this.

I'll prove I'm not a disappointment. I'll be back, don't look for me. ~Boruto

The dream me broke down and even I started to tear up for some reason. Who was Boruto? This was most likely a memory that I lost in the attack years ago. Which means that I lost a son that day too. But before I could think some more. I was jolted from sleep.

"Boruto! Where are you?"
