Chapter 14

Please note- Boruto (F) means the future Boruto. Happy reading ❤

AUTHOR'S POV

Sarada looks around her room as she is once again alone. She sighs, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, calmly. The raging storm within her finally found peace. Whether it was the peace before another storm or not... she didn't know. All she knew was... that her guts spoke volumes. And she never went against it. Keeping a hand over her chest, she tries to keep herself calm. Her eyes slowly start to close.

On the other hand, Boruto couldn't sleep. He was worried about how he should work when he reached the village. He needed to sleep. So that he could get answers from none other than himself. As he falls asleep, he wakes up, once again in a different place. 'Back again...huh?' he thinks before standing up as he flinches slightly, feeling someone was behind him.

He turns around to look at the figure who seems to be uninterested as it leans on the wall nearby with its hands crossed in front of its chest. "I am going to the village tomorrow for the mission." Boruto says. The man nods looking straight in his eyes as he speaks, "I know. But now... you have to think before you do something in the village. One wrong move can make this village attack ours." His cold and calculative voice sends shivers down Boruto's spine as he nods.

Boruto was terrified of his future self. And both of them knew why. The power radiating from him even though he was calm and composed... Boruto couldn't help but feel it was all a facade that hid the anger and pain he felt inside. "Why are you showing all this to me?" he finally speaks after a long uncomfortable silence.

Whereas Boruto (F) says nothing but continues to look at his innocent self before finally speaking, "You tell me... why shouldn't i?" "No... I mean... it's not like we... like her or something.... Why will her death-" before he could even continue speaking he finds himself getting choked by his future self who looked angry. "I dare you to continue." Boruto (F) says. "You and I both know how it will end. Listen... if anything happens to her.... I won't let anyone live a peaceful life... if not for her... then for the world.. Do what I say." he says coldly before throwing his young self on the ground forcefully.

The young boy coughs as he tries to breathe normally. "What have I turned into?" he says, his expression speaking volumes of how terrified he was. He knew no matter what would happen... but he had to save Sarada. Whether he liked her or not. When he was thinking about Sarada last night... he didn't feel like himself... he felt like... someone was taking over him and now he knows... it was him, his future self.

"What are you? I mean.... How did I... change so much...?" He asks as he watches himself sit near him. "Life... life happened to me. And you shouldn't worry about it. You'll know what I mean." he says. "WHY NOT JUST SHOW ME EVERYTHING?! WHY TORTURE ME EVERYDAY?!!!" Boruto shouts at his future self.

The man wanted to say so much... he didn't want to lose all the moments he had spent with Sarada in the future... he didn't want to forget about all the time he felt as a human with her... he didn't want to forget all about how she made him feel.... How his heart beat rose whenever she was near him... he didn't want to forget the feeling of being close to her... how could he?

He didn't love her... she was his closest friend... his sensei's daughter... someone he vowed to protect. How could he say... that he... he was selfish... how could he say that... that he wanted her all for himself. How could he say that he didn't want to just be her friend... how could he?

The silence spoke volumes about how both of them felt about the girl whose fate was fixed. Boruto (F) touches the young ones forehead as Boruto wakes up to find himself on his bed. He rubs his neck before going to the bathroom as he freshens up before walking downstairs. "Good morning mom." he says as he kisses her cheek. "Good morning, Boruto.... Ready for the mission?" She asks as she puts the breakfast on the table. Boruto nods before helping his mother place the dishes on the table.

Slowly, everyone arrives at the table as they eat. After breakfast Boruto goes back into his room to bring all his things before leaving the house. "I'm leaving mom!" He says before he leaves, "Ok... all the best." his mother replies. He smiles a little before he walks to the hokage's office.

He finds Sarada waiting outside the office as she looks at him a little annoyed. "You're late." she says as he shrugs his shoulders slightly. "Took time to eat my breakfast- did you not sleep last night?" he asks as he leans close to her looking in her eyes to find the cause as Sarada leans back a little. Her heart beat rose as she felt like taking a step back.

The door of the office opens with a loud bang as Boruto flinches causing him to stumble and fall onto her. Sarada instinctively tries to hold his arms to maintain a distance between them but slips as well. They fall down on the floor with a loud sound. Their eyes widen in shock as a gasp escapes Sarada's lips.

Sarada puts one of her hand on his chest to create some distance while the other one rests on the floor to pull her up. Meanwhile Boruto had both his hands on the floor beside her hips. Their faces were so close that they could see the slight blush on each other's faces very clearly. Sarada blinks as her eyes gaze over his face. "Boruto Uzumaki." A cold but harsh voice speaks as Boruto turns to look at the owner of the voice.

Sarada hurriedly pushes him away from her as Boruto sits on his knees away from Sarada as he looks down, scared of what could happen. "Papa!" Sarada says getting up as she walks to her father. Sasuke looks at his daughter softly as she says, "Whatever you say is a misunderstanding... he was just checking if I had slept nicely or not... but he slipped when the door opened with a loud noise." She tries to reason it as Sasuke nods, not wanting to ruin his daughter's mood before she leaves for the mission.

As Sasuke leaves Boruto stands up, sighing in relief. He blushes slightly rubbing the back of his neck as he apologises to Sarada. Sarada's cheeks turn slightly red before she walks inside the office to see Mitsuki smiling at the two of them having seen everything. Naruto looks at his son worried because he knows his best friend very well. On the other hand, Shikamaru and Konohamaru were controlling their laughs because they knew both the father-son duo were in trouble.

After all this they finally leave for Iwagakure. They reached the gates as both Sarada and Boruto were quiet and didn't even dare to look at each other. Mitsuki stood beside them looking at them with a smile as he knew they were embarrassed to the core.
