It's been 10 years after the battle of Boruto and Kawaki. 10 Years after the total destruction of Konoha.

I sat on top of hokage mountain taking in the beauty of Konoha.

Tomorrow Konoha will be mine. My responsibility.

I'd be lying if I said being Hokage didn't scare me. The thought that everything will be depending on me...feels a little overwhelming. Has lord seventh ever felt this way?

I know I shouldn't be concerned about those things just yet considering we've entered another time of peace. But one can never be too confident.

"I thought I'd find you here."

I smiled to myself, "You always know where to find me" I said not taking my eyes off from the beautiful sunset.

He walked over and sat next to me, "Nervous?" He asked.

"Me nervous? Please, you know me better than that Mitsuki"

He chuckled and put a hand on my shoulder, "I know I can't cheer you up like he can, but if you ever need anything, I'll be here." He comforted.

I exhaled deeply and and looked up into the sky. "How long has it been? 3 years since he last stopped by the village?"

After their battle, Boruto announced to the team that he would be leaving us. He wanted to keep the world safe outside of Konoha's walls.

He finally achieved his goal: To become my father.

I won't lie and say that it didn't hurt. I mean I always knew this day would come when he declared his ambition on this exact spot. But it doesn't mean that I wouldn't miss him.

A part of me wanted to beg him to stay. I wanted him to stay in Konoha so that we could live out our silly little lives together. I wanted to come home to him every. single. day. I wanted to cook him all his favorite foods and watch his favorite movies. Buy him the new kagemasa game just to watch his eyes light up and beam his widest smile. Patch his clothes when he had a tear after a mission.

How foolish of me right?

The other part of me wanted to go with him. I would've given up being Hokage if he asked me to. Of course I wasn't going to offer to go with him. I wanted him to WANT me. I didn't want to look desperate offering to give up everything just for him. My pride wouldn't allow it.

But I knew I couldn't have either of those things. I can't bring myself to ask him to give up his dream just for me. I mean he even said so himself, When you become Hokage, never marry.

Of course I didn't understand him then, but now I do, and it hurts. He never intended to be with me. He never even gave it a thought. He probably planned to find someone along the road and marry off. When I think about it, it made the most sense.

But none of the things that I hoped, happened. Instead the only word that was exchanged was goodbye. And it left a bitter feeling in my heart.

"He might show up tomorrow Sarada. He would never miss your ceremony." He reassured

"What makes you think he even knows? No one has heard from him in 3 years."
