Uzumaki Illness - A Boruto fanfic

Chapter 2: Exams

3rd's POV

'I don't want to stay from the Academy again, who knows what I might've missed. I have to escape somehow..'

Boruto decided to create a plan on pretending to be better so he can go to the academy and not miss the exam. He pondered for a bit and then finally got an idea. The blonde grinned.

He then turned his head to the alarm clock next to him, thankfully Hinata turned the buzzing off because she remembered it would've made his head worse.

'It's 8:00am... Again! I hate waking up late dattebasa!' He got out of bed slowly and made his way downstairs. 'Time to act!'

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

The blonde whispered very quietly under his breath, the real version of him made his way to the door & somehow got away without being seen, he stayed by the window outside and observed what happened next. Unfortunately for the boy he was going to be seated directly in front his father. He frowned annoyedly.

'Great.'

He groaned and sat down in silence. "Morning Boruto! Feel better?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah! Can I go to the academy today?" the clone asked with a huge grin.

"Hm.. Naruto-kun can you check his fever?" She asks. The older blonde nodded and placed one hand on his son's forehead. The clone started to sweat in fear. 'When was the last time Dad's actually tried to take care of me!?'

"He seems fine 'ttebayo!" Naruto answered loudly with a grin. The clone sighed in relief.

'Time to make my escape 'ttebasa!'

"Release!"

Boruto called his shadow clone back to himself and watched as it disappeared from his family through the window. Thankfully they never noticed where he was hiding in the bushes. The boy then left the window just after he heard his family members gasp. He chuckled mischievously.

'Thank goodness shadow clones exist! They never get sick either!'

-~=~-

Boruto walked to the front gate of the large building. The area was peaceful as always - filled with plenty of young Shinobi like himself.

"Boruto!" Sarada called and her friends follow. Boruto clenched his teeth nervously.

'Crap that's a lot of people that can try to suspect illness in me dattebasa!'

Sarada ran up to him. "Do you feel better?" She asked with a smile, Chocho, Wasabi & Namida who were with Sarada nodded. Boruto then pleaded to the heavens above that he would talk normally.

"Yeah of course!" He managed to say. He sighed internally from relief. Then he felt what he was dreading the most coming. 'Stupid cough dattebasa!'

He drastically tried to sit down on the bench near the kunoichi but instead it was only a weak stagger. The raven fiddled with her glasses and stared at him. "You sure?" she trailed off. Chocho and the others nodded once more and they stared at him in concern. He sighed.

"Yes I'm sure.." the blonde answered and mumbled under his breath.

'This whole pretending idea was stupid.'

He can easily tell himself he'll barely last the day with the condition he's already in.

"Boruto!" Sarada half-yelled in his ear. He winced and grabbed his head in pain. "Four eyes what was that for?!" he groaned. The raven looked at him and smirked. "Good, at least you are as stupid as always," was all she said
