Boruto and Naruto’s shadows stretched long across the golden streets as they approached the guarded gates of the sand village.

Two shinobi stepped forward, guards looking the 2 men up and down before they bowed with quiet respect.

“You’ve arrived on time, Lord Seventh,” one of the guards said.

Naruto gave a tired smile and pulled the scroll from inside his cloak. “Delivery from the Leaf. Make sure gaara gives the aproval.”

Boruto stood a step behind his father with his hands in his pockets, not looking pleased.

The guards accepted the scroll with a nod. “We’ll make sure it reaches Lord Gaara immediately. Thank you.”

Naruto nodded. “We’ll be staying here for the night. Any recommendations?”

“There’s an inn close by its..quiet, safe.” The guard smiled politely, his eyes lingering at boruto for a bit too long. A second after boruto returned his glare making the man look away and give a final polite bow.

*10 minutes later*

The inn was modern and quite peaceful. The interior was cozy and pleasing so much so that boruto gave a look around while naruto checked in.

“One room, two beds,” Naruto said.

Boruto didn’t object. He rarely did when his father was with him.

The room was quite simple. Two beds, a desk, a small bathroom in the left corner. Still though. A nice place to rest after travelling.

Naruto sat at the edge of his bed and sighed. “Long day…”

Boruto sat on the bed, watching him. “You should rest dad. I’ll keep watch incase someone tries something.”

Naruto chuckled. “No need. We’re safe here Boruto.”

He didn’t notice how Boruto’s expression softened and how he looked away when he said that. He didnt see it but he felt it. The warm feeling and the suddenly relaxed atmosfere. Cozy.

*2 am*

Midnight.

The air was still.

Naruto layed asleep, his breaths slow and even.

Boruto stood silently by the window, staring at the moonlit sky. His reflection almost completely gone.

Then, slowly, he turned.

His eyes—once blue—glowed red in the darkness.

He stepped forward, quitly, gaze fixed on the man who was sleeping now less then a few feet away.

Naruto stirred faintly, unnawere.

Boruto’s lips parted, almost whispering something... but he didn’t speak.

The red glow pulsed.
