Chapter 21

Boruto's Pov

"Did you have a dream?" Dad asked.

"Yeah," I said. "Dad, in the dream, I noticed my right arm was different, do you know anything about that?"

"Oh yeah," Dad answered. "Delta had attacked the village, and she shot her counter regenerative beams at Himawari and I and you protected us, sacrificing your right arm, the arm you saw was the prosthetic arm I gave you that operated using my chakra."

"Delta...." I whispered.

"I'm still grateful to you for that day, thank you Boruto." Dad smiled.

I smiled in response

"T-that wasn't me that protected you...." I said to myself.

"Listen closely Boruto, I'm the only one who does anything that's truly for your sake!"

"I'm no cowardly peace-obsessed idiot like the Hokage, all he's concerned about is the peace of his village."

No you're not, get out of my head... He's not like that.

"Boruto," Dad asked. "Did you have a nightmare about your past life?"

"How did you?...."

"Hinata told me you had a nightmare," Dad answered. "She also said your Karma was activated and that you had screamed get away, what happened?"

"I guess there's no getting around it..." I sighed. "I saw Jigen or Isshiki, whatever his name is, I saw multiple things actually, from me being in a blood bag, to Jigen beating me, and even saw how I died."

"Seems like your memories are slowly coming back then right?" Dad asked.

"No, it doesn't feel like it." I explained. "It feels like I'm in another body watching someone else's memories, it hurts to think about it...."

"I see, so that's how it's going to be then..." Dad said.

"Why did such a thing happen to my past self...." I asked. "Why did all of this happen!?"

"I don't know," Dad frowned, as he clenched his fist. "And I hate myself for allowing that to happen, I really couldn't do anything for you as your Father."

......

"Well, let me know if something else happens like this again," Dad smiled. "Ok?"

"I will."

Naruto's Pov

"So what did he say, Naruto?" Hinata asked.

"He said he dreamt about past memories about his past life." I answered.

"I see," Hinata asked. "Does that mean he's getting his memories back slowly?"

"No," I said. "He said that it's as if he was watching someone else's memories, but it's some progress at least."

"I see, so what do you plan on doing now then?"

"Well, we are going to have to prepare for another battle again soon, so I'm going to go help set up the defenses and strategize more."

Boruto's Pov

I went to the main street of Konoha again, it was busier than usual, a lot of moving supplies and repairs were happening. I saw a kid struggling to carry planks of wood across the street.

"Hey kid," I called out. "Let me help you."

"Huh?" The kid looked at me as I shrunk the wooden planks to a reasonable size. "Woahhh, how did you do that!?"
