~12~[The Ghost Incident: The Investigation Begins!]

🌸🌸🌸

Boruto stared at the ground below him intensely, his eyes growing red from not blinking.

"See anything?" Mitsuki questioned, laying on the stone ledge attached to the tall building they were all on.

Shikadai was next to the blond, looking over the stone.

And y/n was sitting next to the Nara on the same ledge, watching a bird eat an old pizza off the ground.

"No, not yet." Boruto confirmed, still refusing to blink.

"Maybe you're straining too much." Shikadai stated, looking over at the kid.

"No, no. It's enjoyable." y/n laughed a little, watching her friend's mouth twitch up and down as he tried not to blink or touch his eyes. Shikadai shooed his hand at the girl and the Uchiha shrugged.

"My eyes are the star of hope! There's no way I'm gonna miss it!" Boruto declared, right as a brown bird flew overhead.

Mitsuki looked at it with a smile, before peering over to Shikadai, who'd moved away from the stone to rest against the wall behind him. "We've been on the lookout all day. Shouldn't we be seeing at least one ghost right about now?"

"What's this 'ghost' stuff you've been talking about?" Shikadai questioned the smiling boy.

"I thought it up and it's my name for that weird shadow!" Boruto informed, still looking around at the villagers below.

"Couldn't you come up with a better name than that?" Shikadai asked, his arms crossed with a smirk.

y/n hopped down onto the ground and smirked. "Ooh, boy drama." She whispered, waiting to see the Blond's reaction to Shikadai's comment.

"What?!" Boruto defended, turning to look at Shikadai, his fists clenched.

"What's that?!" The Nara yelled suddenly, pointing out towards the village with wide eyes.

"Whoa!" Boruto turned, using his hand to block out the sun as he went back to observing.

Shikadai plopped himself against the wall once more. "Still, that's seven cases alone this week-"

"Of the Ghost Incident." y/n smirked, pointing her hand up into the air.

"I like that name!" Mitsuki smiled, tilting his head to the side.

y/n's cheeks got a little pink and she nodded. "Thank's Suki!" The boy nodded happily.

"Until now, it was limited to the Academy grounds, but suddenly the number of incidents and the locations have skyrocketed." Shikadai spoke back up, his hand resting under his chin.

"Is something contagious spreading?" Mitsuki questioned, looking down at his feet after his smile dropped. "Or is there some other cause?"

"It seems like our dads are now investigating it too." Shikadai reminded and y/n nodded in agreement, remembering how Sai spoke of it on her usual uninvited trip 'past' the Hokage's office.

"That's why... We have to solve this before dad." Boruto stated, back to watching the ground with laser focus.

"Will it go smoothly?" y/n questioned, her hand resting on her hair.

"y/n!" Boruto started.

Her black orbs widened. "You found it?!"

"I've got dry eye!" The boy complained, turning to look at her as he pointed to his frozen bloodshot eyes.

"I missed out on the chance at becoming a hero!" Boruto complained, his head bowed with sadness as the four walked through the streets. The sun setting behind them.
