Code

Final Chapter

                      Sarada's Pov

"So this is where you were."

Mom walked over to me as I rested the flowers on Dad's grave.

"It feels almost fictional, that someone like Dad could die." I frowned as I clenched the other set of flowers on my left hand by accident. "It hurts even more since just two days ago he told me his story."

"I know, I've watched and chased after him for half of my life, it doesn't feel right at all... but," Mom sighed. "He did everything he could to save the world, that's more than I can ask for."

"Yeah, he saved Boruto and prevented the ten tails from becoming the divine tree, but..." I teared up. "I-I wished we had more time together...."

"Yeah, let's not dwell on it too much, your Dad wouldn't want his sacrifice to be a burden to us." Mom smiled. "Speaking of Boruto, were you able to talk to him?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh?" Mom smiled. "How'd it go?"

"It's as if he never changed, and seeing him learn more about himself and others...." I paused as I pressed the flowers to my chest. "It's cute."

"Is that so?" Mom laughed. "That Boruto always loved being told stories about when we were younger, I'm glad to hear."

"Oh, are those flowers for...." Mom asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "I should get going."

"Okay, I'm going to the hospital now, be home soon okay?" Mom said.

"Okay." I said as I walked away from Dad's grave. Thank you for everything Dad.... You're the best.

—-------------------------------

I walked ahead and saw two friends at a certain gravesite, mourning the loss of their lifelong friend.

"Hey, Inojin, Cho-Cho." I greeted as I rested the flowers on Shikadai's grave.

"Sarada...." Cho-cho said while wiping her tears away.

"Sarada, you were there right?" Inojin asked. "How did he die?"

That's right, after I told Lord Seventh what had happened, we brought Shikadai to the Hospital and rejoined the fight afterwards.

"Lord Sixth and Seventh came up with a plan to seal Code's movements using my Sharingan and his Shadow Paralysis, the plan was successful but....." I paused. "It's my fault, I couldn't keep Paralyzing him because of the pain, Code was able to resist Shikadais Paralysis and summon the ten tails which blew up the area, resulting in Shikadais death."

"The T-ten tails!?" Cho-cho stuttered. "Like the one mentioned in the fourth great ninja war?"

"Yeah," I frowned.

"I'm guessing that's how your dad died too," Inojin looked away. "That bastard took away our loved ones, thank you Sarada, for defeating him...."

"Yeah, we heard you played a big role, I can't thank you enough." Cho-Cho said.

"I had to," I clenched my fist. "After everything he did, there was no other option."

Boruto's Pov

"Do you have an answer for this Boruto?" Kakashi asked as we visited the sealing dome again.

"Oh yeah, the ten tails is still in this thing..." I sighed. "Well, I definitely can't use Sukuna Hikona on it."

"We know that." Dad said. "Can't you create a portal and put it in a different dimension using your Karma?"
