A awoke in a clean and cold environment, bright ass light check, all white check, is my ass hanging out yep. I'm in a hospital, Sarada really did carry me all the way out of that wasteland.

For some reason it was like ow wasn't in control of my own mouth, I suddenly started calling out for Sarada, Sarada, Sarada, I just wanna see her face. One of the nurses rushed in and told me that Sarada had left earlier to go get some herbs for my medicine. Phew, as long as she's okay.

"Uhh mamn could you please tell me where we are?" I ask the nurse lady

"Don't you worry now Boruto, you're safe. This is the most prestigious shinobi hospital in the land of waves you can rest easy."

"Thanks, that helps," I say before laying back down

"Oh and also, we managed to save your friend he's right next to you asleep"

Huh? No way right... I turned to my right and there he was, Knuckle was there  sleeping soundly though missing an arm.

"KNUCKLE!" I yell over at him "DUDE no way you made it out too!?"

He sat up with this annoying look in his eyes "geez how can you be so loud after just waking up kid" Knuckle responded letting off a slight smile. Aww I knew somewhere in there he was just as happy as me.

"Wow what a miracle, I thought for sure you'd be dead after that man."

"Yeah well me too but thanks to these angels I'm almost back to 100%"

"Heh that's good to hear buddy, I'm glad."

I stuck out my fist and he did too. "So how's the eye? I heard the doctor say you might not be able to see out of it again..." He asked

"Well the pain is pretty much gone but it's still really weird you know... what else did you hear? Maybe they could give me a fake one or something and I can be like cyclops haha"

"I wouldn't count on it, but I did hear quite a lot from that girl of yours" Knuckle said raising his eyebrows

"Oh yeah? What'd she say??"

"Hmm, not telling you but it was something along the lines of  'Boruto oh Boruto please don't die on me I looooooove you!'"

"You're lying old man" I said pointing at him, "But please continue, what else did she say?"

"Nope, that's all your getting"

"Cmonnnnn Knuckle don't be like that!"

We were having a laugh, it was great. And a good distraction from all the death we witnessed the other day.

Just then Sarada walked in holding wayyyy too many herbs, when she saw me she dropped them instantly and ran over to hug me on the bed, like really really tight, I think she might have loosened up my stitches.

"Oh my God Boruto don't leave me like that again!" Sarada said to me crying in my lap

I looked over at Knuckle who was holding in a laugh, that asshole thought this was funny but I suppose I'll brush it off for now.

I held Sarada in my arms for a while reassuring her that I wouldn't do that again. After like half an hour she finally believed me and got up wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt this very heartwarming reunion but Sarada, what happened to our loot??" Knuckle chimed in

"Oh, I grabbed that already managed to pawn it off for quite a fortune."

"How much of a fortune!?" I asked bouncing up and down.

"Well since it's just the three of us now, about 20 each"

"20 what?"

"Million."

"20 MILLION DOLLARS?!?!" Me and Knuckle both shouted.

"Geez relax you two or you're gonna get us kicked out early."

Wow,we managed to clear 20 million dollars each. I don't even know what we're gonna do with that money, maybe retire early you know.

"There's a slight problem with the whole thing though..." Sarada explains "stealing that kinda money doesn't come without its set of problems, as it so turns out, we all have massive bounties on our heads now."

"Pshhh whatever Sarada I could care less we are RICH now" I respond

"Yeah well the bounty for you Boruto is 30 million..."

"Wait huh"

"Huh"

"..."

"..."

"30 MILLION DOLLARS WHAT THE FAWK, WHYS MINE SO HIGH"

"It probably has something to do with the whole blood feud thing a while back."

"Well... shit, can I turn myself in?"

"Seriously Boruto, we're all worth a few million, YOU especially so take this seriously."

"Alright alright so we'll have to take some extra precautions in the future I'll take note of that, anyways when are we gonna get discharged?"

"It'll be a while bolt, I've payed these nurses a lot of money to make sure your both at one hundred and ten percent before leaving and that's exactly what they are gonna do so prepare to be here for some months."

Fine with me, I get to sit back and relax for a few months while counting my MONEYYYY

Or so I thought... this place is HELL, I thought it was supposed to be a hospital not a damn gym. These people have stretched me in places I've never stretched, had me running entire marathons, and worst of all I had to eat this disgusting green slime because it supposedly " kept the pain at bay" sounds like baloney to me.

-3 weeks later-

I was back moving like my old self again but that still wasn't enough for the doctors so every day me and Knuckle would have to go complete this training regimen as well as doing combat and jutsu training. We eventually got used to it but I was beyond ready to go.

-6 weeks later-

For the last month Sarada has been stuck to me, after every training she would be there waiting for me with something to eat and some elixir for my soreness. I really appreciated it, it was almost like coming home to my wife after a long day of work. Me and Sarada have really been getting closer these past weeks.

-2 months later-

We were finally ready to leave, me and Sarada had packed up our things and said our goodbyes. Knuckle had decided to stay a bit longer as he was still getting better hang of being one armed. He gave us a price of paper detailing where he planned to go when he left incase we needed him again. We thanked him and left planning to go to the hidden cloud as it's far from where our faces are known. It's gonna be a long trip but it'll be worth it to start new in a different village plus we're only gonna be there for the winter and once it heats back up we'll be heading someplace else.
