BoruSara- Lost Love

Chapter 6

I set Boruto on his bed quietly, trying not to disturb the others in his house.

"So what happened?"

"Eep!"

I jumped a bit at the sound of Lord Seventh's voice, who was quietly snickering from the doorway.

"Sneaking into my son's bed at night?"

"It's not like that!"

I felt my face burn as I waved my hands flustered.

"I know, I know. Still, what's happening here?"

I paused for a bit to regain composure, and explained it from beginning to end.

"So that's what happened?"

"I'm telling you, this is a misunderstanding!"

It must've been quite suggestive, seeing someone with a deep crush on your son set him in bed then crawl out of the sheets.

"I get it, I get it. Still, between Kawaki, the people chasing after him, and the people behind them... we really don't know much of anything."

"Yeah, it's concerning."

"So far, from the information shared between the Five Kages, we've defeated Three Outers and two inners, Deepa and another named Victor. Going from the assumption that Deepa and Victor have the weakest fighting power of them all, which it seems to be so, then..."

I looked out the window, the first rays of sunshine peering over the great faces and shining through the room, creating an almost magical setting.

"The Kara would've had enough power to wipe out the entire Village by now."

"But the question is, why haven't they made a move? There's this Kawaki person, who seems to be a stand-alone force, to put it in a way, which seems to be of great importance to the Kara."

"But why is it that he's holding them back from their plans?"

"He likely possesses something, an item or some sort of power that would help them. They're high-tech androids, or at least Delta is from what we've seen so far, so they'd for sure have a way to extract it, or use it by force."

"From what I saw, Kawaki didn't take too kindly to Boruto, almost as if he was after something..."

My voice trailed off as my eyes wandered to his hands, and saw the mark engraved into it.

"I'll go make some tea, you stay here with Boruto."

"Yeah..."

I grabbed his hand and traced the mark on it, feeling the rough callouses and muscles...

Wait, what am I thinking about?! Calm yourself, Sarada. Calm... There's still a lot that's changed about Boruto...

Lord Seventh set the tea on a nightstand and left to do his work, the massive amount of papers that were piled up, growing more and more the longer this Kara issue dragged on.

"It's still so unclear what their objectives are."

"I can help you with that, at least I hope."

This voice is familiar...

I looked around the room and found the same person who was with Boruto at that time, his appearances matching his slightly raspy and rough voice.

"Wait... it's yo-!"

He pressed a hand against my mouth, muffling my outcry.

"Look, I know it might not seem like it, but I don't mean bad things."
