Sumire Pov:

Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki and I left for Otogakure last night. The four of us and our friends were on a mission of our own, we wanted to create an antidote that would work against Eida's charm.
At the same time, the mission was very liberating, I'm finally travelling again after a very long time. I no longer have to worry about Kawaki's problems or Amado's paperwork. And I don't have to see Eida, which is the best thing.
We've been travelling for a whole day now and it'll be a while before we arrive in Otogakure.  I was so excited and nervous that my stomach ached.

"Are you all right, Sumire?" asked Sarada.

"Actually, yes, but I'm so excited and nervous that I got a stomach ache. I mean, I've never seen Orochimaru before. I only know that he wanted me dead or alive because of the Gozu Tenno and I know that he was a villain at the time when the seventh was still a student himself."

"Don't worry Sumire, my father only promised to help us. But you'll get on really well, you're both very well educated in science," said Mitsuki.

I hope so," I replied.

"Orochimaru is actually quite nice, my father says, he used to be quite different," Sarada said.

"Yes, I've heard that too, he killed the third Hokage Hiruzen"

"How do you know that again, Sumire?" asked Boruto.

"It's all in the books in the history section, but it's also in the files," I said.

I only know that my mum and Orochimaru became best friends, I don't know where that came from," said Boruto.

I don't think anyone knows," said Sarada, giggling.

I agree with Sarada," I replied, giggling.

Wait a minute, guys," I said and stopped on a thick branch. Mitsuki , Sarada and Boruto also stopped and looked at me questioningly.

"What's going on Sumi?" whispered Mitsuki.

I pointed at a small group of people wearing black cloaks.

I think they're from some kind of sect or organisation," I whispered.

"That's right, so it can't be kara, they've all croaked except Code, but that would only be one," Boruto whispered.

"And now what?" whispered Sarada.

"Keep watching for now and maybe get a bit closer so we can understand their conversations," I whispered.

The three nodded to me and we crept cautiously closer. The figures were sitting around a fire, a symbol was sewn onto their cloaks, but I couldn't recognise anything through the darkness and the dark cloak.

Suddenly I heard the name "Shigaraki", my heart stopped, my blood froze in my veins and my skin turned pale.

Shigaraki?
That was my surname.
I thought I was the last of my clan.

"My daughter Sumire is such a disgrace, she didn't manage to avenge Konoha for Danzo and me"

My father is alive ?! So he only pretended to be dead back then? Did he want to test me?! He had just used me like Saki, like a dirty puppet.
I couldn't believe it, the person who had given me my first hell was still alive. I didn't feel any joy, why should I?
I was just a tool for him, nothing more.
He had determined my fate and purposely laced my hatred from the beginning to make me will-less.
It was his fault that I was trapped in a sea of negative feelings for the first 12 years of my life.

Sumire?" Mitsuki whispered.

I shook myself briefly and looked at Mitsuki, Boruto and Sarada.

"Sweetie, we're here for you, no matter what you do," Sarada whispered.
