Those Bounds

004

Boruto's

We are walking ahead of the time travelers and Uncle Sai. They had stopped from their steps, looking up to the Hokage Faces.

I know they're some people from the past. Uncle Sasuke and I had a trip to the past not too long ago. It's not the same as their timeline though. Compared to where we were, it was earlier.

And they just look so much like my Dad and Mom's friends. Mom and Dad are there too.

What would Father be thinking regarding this? Regarding me near the scene?

"What was that?! I'm sure Papa was the one eating my fav chips! " Thrilled Chocho said, almost ripping her hair off.

We panicked because of that. We again checked our distance from Uncle Sai and his company.

"Chocho," Sarada grabbed her friend's arm gently and looked at those at the back fastly to subtly remind her.

It was far enough. I guess.

A few moments of silence and absence of motion. We were lost in our own thoughts once again.

Sarada sighed still looking back at them. Mitsuki was the one who woke her up from her thoughts and dragged her softly.

What's is she thinking about?

"Auntie Ino can slay! Have you had a great look at her outfit? What a fashionista!" Chocho stomping her feet.

She has a lot to say.

Shikadai was the first one to notice who they were but still didn't say anything until now that we're away from 'that' group.

"Thank you for not voicing out everything you want there- I mean when we were together with them.  I'm sure we shouldn't be talking about anything freely. Especially if we are near them. In any case, we might just wait for Uncle Sai's heads-up," Shikadai said.

Good thing Shikadai was there. If he wasn't there keeping us silent I'd be in really big trouble. Talking shit that I shouldn't be saying. Asking them who's him or her.

Worse, saying if they are alive or not. And the situation is not clear yet. We should still be on guard.

"Mm. After the interrogation in the office, we should be informed by then. The important question they have to know the answer to is how and who." I predicted that caused my breathing to deepen.

"Normally, they will take 1 to more hours depending on how important the incident or people are." Inojin added the procedures he knows about ANBU since his father is the Head of the ANBU.

We nodded after he told us more. Our company is still walking slowly while the other group behind is not moving inches. We're getting farther away.

"What are they talking about?" Sarada mumbles casually. Why does she seems to be more assertive.

She's too focused to mind our presence here.

"What do you think, Boruto?" Mitsuki tilts his head to have a clearer sight of me.

I glance at them and notice they're looking at the carved faces still. It's about that I guess. I hope my wannabe Hokage Dad is happy with what he is seeing.

After learning that from the 12-year-old Naruto I've been primarily educated by that fact. He wants that job, to protect and be someone to look up to.

"Astonished and hype by the new faces for sure." I gestured upward, where the seven faces look down upon us.

"Ah yeah! You're right," Chocho agreed, hugging Sarada's arm.

Sarada then got distracted by Chocho preventing her to think about her worries for a second.
