"I think we should tell everyone that you're back, especially Boruto. Speaking of which, I'm guessing the girl with purple hair's yours?" Sarada said after breaking the hug.
"Yes, and, um... Actually, I don't want anyone to know I'm here, not yet anyway," Sumire said softly.
"Eh? How come?" Sarada inquired.
"It's... complicated... Look, just promise me you won't tell anyone," Sumire said.
"I won't," Sarada reassured, nodding slightly.
"I should probably catch up with them. It was nice seeing you, Sara-chan," Sumire said, leaving.
"Nice seeing you, too, Sumi-chan..." Sarada murmured.
Sumire sighed as she leaned against the door. Her hands automatically went to her head. Idiot.
She headed to their temporary house, where she walked past her old house. She stared at it longingly, hearing familiar voices behind her. She slightly turned around, seeing her old teammates; Izuno Wasabi, Kurogane Tsubaki, and Suzumeno Namida. She quickly ran off, avoiding getting caught. She couldn't face them, not just yet.
She continued walking, unsure where the house was. She noticed Yuri waving her over so she scuttled towards her and inside.
"What took you so long, Sumire-san?" Yuri inquired.
"Sorry. It's kinda a longboard story, but—"
"Where going training!" Hanasita exclaimed as she and her teammates — Suzuki and Suzuka — came rushing towards them.
"Don't go too far," Yuri scolded as Suzuki's mom laughed.
"That's hard for my daughter. She loves exploring."
"Mommy!" Suzuki shouted, making her other two teammates laugh and Sumire smiled amusingly.
"Well, we're leaving now, Sensei, Mom," Hanasita said. The girls then proceeded to leave.
"Sumire-san, what something to drink?" Suzuka's father inquired, standing up to get himself a drink.
"No, thank you. I'm good," Sumire said kindly.

Hanasita and her teammates headed to a training ground. "Okay! Let's begin training! You two against me," Hanasita said.
"No fair, Hana! One; we'd crush you. Two; I don't have a two, but ya know what I mean," Suzuki said.
"Yeah, right! You two against me couldn't even land a hit," Hanasita said confidently.
"My, you sure are confident," a female spoke up.
The girls turned to see a young woman. She had long, dark blue hair. Her eyes were an ocean blue eyes. She had two whisker birthmarks on her cheeks.
"Uh, sorry, Ma'am. We didn't know you were using this," Hanasita apologised.
"It's quite alright. I wasn't using it. But you have a lot of confidence for a twelve year old Genin," she said.
"Uh! Is that bad?" Hanasita inquired worrisome.
The woman laughed. "No, no. I'm Uzumaki Himawari, what's your guys' names?"
"Oh! Those are my teammates; Suzuka and Suzuki. And I'm Kakei Hanasita," Hanasita introduced.
Kakei? Himawari mused.
Before she could ask further, Suzuka smiled. "Uh, Himawari-san, would you mind helping us train?" she inquired shyly, which was rare for Suzuka.
Himawari smiled sweetly. "Of course! Now, I assume that you three are for the Chunin Exams." The girls nodded. "Okay! Let's see what abilities you guys have," Himawari said.
Suzuka and Suzuki exchanged looks of concern. Hanasita slammed one hand onto the other. "Alright! Bring it, Himawari-san!" she exclaimed.
"Very well..." Himawari closed her eyes then reopened them. The Byakugan was shown.
Hanasita furrowed her brows. Her mother had told her about this. Chakra points. Just stay out of their range.
"Well?"
"Hana?" Suzuka murmured.
Hanasita didn't answer and she jumped into the air, throwing kunais towards the young kunoichi. She easily dodged and headed straight for Hanasita.
"Hanasita!" Suzuki shouted.

"Hey, Sumire-san. Mind helping me?" Suzuki's mother questioned. Sumire nodded and headed over to her. "Is everything okay?" she inquired as the two brought coffee over to the other three. "Are you worried about the kids? I'm sure they'll be fine."
"No, it-it's not that." Sumire stared at the ground in front of her as she walked forward. She was more worried about Boruto seeing her daughter. How would she tell him? How will she tell Hanasita?
"Sumire-san?"
***
Heheh girls went to the ground with a loud thud. They were covered from head to toe in dirt and bruises. They were panting loudly and breathing heavily. Himawari stood above them, smiling.
"Well. Are you three okay?" she inquired.
"Yeah... Maybe..." Hanasita groaned as she took the hand Himawari held out for her. The other two stayed on the floor, not bothering to move.
"You sure are talented, Hanasita-san. I'm sure you'll make a great Chunin," Himawari praised.
"Really? Thanks, Himawari-san!"
"Please, you can call me Hima," Himawari said.
"This is nice and all, but our parents are so gonna kill us for being this messy," Suzuka pointed out.
"Crap!" Hanasita shouted, helping her teammates up. "We gotta go! Bye, Hima-chan!" The three then proceeded to run away, back towards their temporary house.
Himawari waved with a smile. They sure are lively. Especially Hanasita-chan. This'll be fun.
