Yusuke had confusing feelings when it came to his father. For several nights after coming home from 'the bar.'

Sasuke would whoop him when he found out he left the room he was supposed to sit in. Then the very next morning, Sasuke wouldn't remember what he had done to him.

1 night, he beat him so hard with the end of the metal part of his belt, it left a bad scar on his back. From that day forward, Yusuke brought a plastic bottle with him to fill it up, instead of going out to use the bathroom.

He even started packing himself some snacks since it seemed his father was staying there longer and longer.

"Yusuke!" The door flew open, revealing Sasuke's drunken stature. "I didn't leave this room, I swear it!" Yusuke pleaded to his father with both hands extended out in front of him, shaking in a defeating manner.

Sasuke began laughing comically. "I know, bud. Come with me for a sec." He grabbed the little boy's arm and drug him to the front of the bar. Yusuke returned the weird stares to all the strangers in there while doing so.

Once they made it to the bar counter, Sasuke sat his son down on the high bar stool. "Yusuke, meet my colleague, Pierce." He spoke proudly to his son and Yusuke stuck his hand out and shook the man's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mister." The man squeezed his hand and smiled at the little guy.

"Wow, you have more manners than that asshole dad of yours." He chuckled and Sasuke did the same. "Fuck you." The bald man smugly smiled behind the bar counter. "Wanna drink, kid?"

"Hey!" Sasuke gruffly said. "Don't push it!" Sasuke then grabbed Yusuke's shirt again and dragged him out of the bar.

"Dad, my stuff is still in there," Sasuke said nothing as he dragged him to the woods, stopping at a tall tree. "Don't worry, kid. We'll go back there." Sasuke shrugged off his black leather jacket & took off 1 of his gloves.

"Hold this for me." Yusuke quickly took his glove and placed it on his right hand. "Wanna see something cool?" Yusuke was now excited. Eagerly nodding his head up & down.

When he saw his father's eyes activating, the little boy widened his gaze as his mouth dropped. His dad's eyes always amazed him most interestingly. He always wondered if his orbs were capable of doing the same.

Sasuke began doing some hand signals and then he roared out: Dragon Fire Jutsu!

A huge burst of fire shot from his mouth in the shape of a dragon, knocking down the top half of the tree while passing through the other few branches behind it.

Sasuke didn't break a sweat as he masterfully pulled off his talented jutsu.

Yusuke gasped in awe as his mouth hung open from his father's abilities. His mixed orbs lit up with sheer joy. "WOW! Dad that was so cool! Can I try?" He was now bouncing up and down with energized movements.

"Yeah! Come over here." Sasuke pulled his arm over to the front of him & demonstrated the hand signals to him. After Yusuke took a deep breath, he made the same hand signals and shouted the same words.

His wasn't as nearly as powerful as his father's jutsu. But Sasuke encouraged his son to the fullest and he even praised him for his good work. "I'm proud of you son!" Sasuke said to him, warming the little guy's heart.

Ever since that night, their bond strengthened to what Yusuke was familiar with.

Boruto entered the living room of his home filled with all sorts of different people. The room buzzed with cheers and overlapping convos as a party was thrown for his father.

To celebrate his achievements in the successful A-Rank Missions & accomplishing his way to being the next Hokage.

When the young blond saw those pair of familiar eyes behind the face mask, his blue orbs lit up. "Lord Sixth!" He approached him and they instantly began having a friendly conversation.
