What You Wish For [Complete]

The World Calling

"He's not ready," Zetsu grumbled to himself as he finished his duties. He shook his head. "He may never be ready, mother, and all our work would have been for not. I cannot accept that." He bowed his head. Awakening the Rinnegan had been harder than he had anticipated. He had been tracking the reincarnation cycle of one sibling, but the other one had not appeared in history since the original's death, leaving the creature confused.

Zetsu sighed and turned to the shelves that lined the walls. They were filled with jars and in those jers were eyes. Zetsu sat down at his desk. Six years ago, the second sibling appeared, which was why he had gone after Ansei, but just as quickly as he had found the sibling, he lost it. "Vanished without a trace," he grumbled angrily. "And Ansei's getting worse." He turned to the door. Ansei was unruly, but in an odd way. He expected the child to be difficult, and had prepared accordingly. Ansei wasn't impatient like he had anticipated. If anything, he was more confused and no matter what Zetsu did, he couldn't fully rest the boy's mind. "It's probably that blasted fox," the man muttered with a nod.

He threw on his hood and his dead yellow eyes turned to the sky. A wide smile suddenly appeared on his face. There was a change in the air. "We should get going," he said and started for the door. "I believe it is finally time..."

"Himawari?!"

The young girl stood and wiped dust from her pants. "You didn't think I'd just let you go, did you?" she asked.

"Get back there! It isn't safe!" Boruto snapped angrily. She grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him close.

"Of course it isn't safe, big brother," she growled, shaking him slightly. Sarada giggled and Mitsuki sighed, shaking his head. "Why do you think I'm here? Of course I'm not going to let my big brother go on this stupid adventure without me, ya big fool! Gosh, Boruto, you're just as stubborn as dad!" She pushed him to the ground. Boruto groaned and rubbed his head.

"Who is the older one here?" he complained.

"I was just thinking the same thing," Mitsuki said with a smile.

"Shut up..."

Boruto stood and looked at his sister. "Fine, but you do what I say."

"I'm not a child anymore," the girl complained, thrusting her thumb to point to her headband. Boruto stood and ruffled her long, dark hair.

"But you are still my little sister." Himawari pouted slightly, then smiled. "I guess we should start at the Hyuuga compound. They wouldn't have let him leave," Boruto suggested. Sarada nodded, but Mitsuki was staring at the Hokage Monument.

"Obito?" he asked. Boruto turned and nodded. However, Obito's face was no longer the last one on the mountain. A woman now held a place on it.

"Hanabi-sama?" Boruto whispered. "Did the Hyuuga take over again?"

Sarada shrugged. Boruto gripped Himawari's hand and they started for the Hyuuga compound. Boruto wasn't sure what he was expecting at this point, but he didn't get it. The village wasn't just surviving, it was prospering. People were bustling about; ninja were happily moving around with their new academy students. "This isn't the same place we left," Sarada grumbled. Boruto nodded.

"You two seem rather tense," Mitsuki observed. "Why? This seems like a rather peaceful place."

"It wasn't when we left." Sarada said.

Boruto didn't know exactly how it had been when they left, but he knew what it was like before he and Ansei fought. The boy shuddered at the thought and he started trembling slightly. He felt his sister's hand grasp his tightly. Boruto smiled softly. No matter what, they would stick together.
