"Come on Sarada! You can't tell me you've never wished to know how our parents were as kids!"

"I won't deny my interest in the subject Boruto, but this really doesn't seem like a good idea."

"What's there not to like? Look, disregarding the fact that this is a forbidden jutsu, think about how much we could learn! I know you have been itching to learn more about your father and the Uchiha clan, this is the perfect opportunity! Maybe the only one you will ever get. Because let's be real, Uncle Sasuke is secretive as hell and I seriously doubt that will ever change."

At the mention of Sasuke, Sarada froze and Boruto could only smirk in response knowing he had the kunoichi hooked. Works like a charm every time!

"Okay... You've got me there but that doesn't make the jutsu any less forbidden, not to mention sketchy! How do you know this technique won't backfire on us and end up causing harm to the village or our parents?!"

"You don't have to worry about that, my old man wouldn't have this jutsu under lock and key if it wasn't effective-"

"It's precisely because the jutsu was under lock and key that I'm worried! Boruto, have you ever considered why it's illegal to use this age regression jutsu? Because it's dangerous, that's why!"

"You didn't even let me finish! I was about to say that I had Denki look into this jutsu and we even did some research at the library. According to all the texts we found, the jutsu doesn't cause any permanent damage, meaning that the effects are only temporary. The reason it was banned in the first place was because missing-nin used it to infiltrate the village. Not just ours but all the others as well, so in order to prevent further negative use, all Kage's abstained from teaching it in the first place. We won't be using it for anything like that, so it's fine."

"Well if Denki looked into this, perhaps it will be okay...."

"What is that supposed to mean?! I did research as well, you know!"

"Yeah but Denki is more reliable."

"Whatever, as long as you are with the plan now..."

The raven-haired girl only huffed in response, already beginning to question if she made the right decision.
