*************

    In another dimension where the sun barely shines, Boruto was busy digging up inside a cave. He carefully pulled the last stone with his callous hands. Beneath the stone was a burrow that had been made by man. Boruto smirks upon seeing the hole. He really looks like his adult version of his father now especially if his right eye had not been blinded because of the Great God War.

"Whew! After those freaking traps finally! Old man Sasuke really loves to hide things in a burrow... I wonder how many did he kept in other dimensions dattebasa."

    He carefully inserted his hand in the burrow and pulled out a small container. He examined it and removed the dirt around it. He then opened it and checked the inside of it. They were letters addressed to his Sensei and they were from Lady Sakura.

He smiled again and put back the letters inside the container.

"Well, time to go..."

He activated his Dōjutsu and a portal to his world suddenly appeared. He jumped through it and vanished.

"Welcome back Young Master!" said the old man from the Hyuga Family. He had been a servant of the noble family even before Lady Hinata was born.

"Yo!" Boruto greeted back and grinned at the old man.

"Onii-chan you're back!" shouted the lady behind Boruto. Boruto turned around to face the lady.

"Hi, Himawari! Yeah, I'm back!" Boruto said and smiled at his sister who really looked like her mother. She grew up to be a fine lady and she is now the proud successor of the Hyuga family.

"Have you found them?" she smiled sweetly to her brother.

"Yeah, I found three letters dattebasa."

"Well... I guess I'm way better than Big Brother!" Himawari winked at her brother.

"Whoa, what?!" Boruto laughed.

"Follow me!" Himawari said to her brother and she walked toward the living room.

She lifted a big box and put it on the table then she removed the cover.

"These are Tosan's old stuff... where did you get them?" Boruto asked. He pulled out his father's old and faded jacket from the box.

"I remember helping Okasan on cleaning our basement when I was little, so I thought she might have kept some of Papa's old stuff and I was right." she excitedly took a big pouch with a frog design and handed it to her brother.

"Open it!" Himawari said while smiling excitedly.

Boruto opened the pouch and checked what's inside of it. They're thick pieces of paper that had been rolled together. Boruto removed the ribbon that was wrapped around the papers and checked them out. They were letters sent by Uchiha Sakura to Naruto. He started reading some of the letters with wide eyes.

"Whoa! These letters were sent during Aunt Sakura and Sensei's journey!" Boruto cried.

"Yep, almost thirty letters and you're welcome!" Himawari said while whistling with pride.

" Himawari you're the best and you're amazing!"

    Himawari smiled at her brother sweetly. She suddenly heard a voice within her.

"It is I who is amazing after all... You won't find them if it's not for I..." whispered the giant fox with his eyes closed and a soft growl followed.

"Hee hee thanks Kurama you're the best!" Himawari said and gave the Demon Fox a flying kiss.

Kurama just smirked and continued to sleep.

The old servant of the Hyuga appeared on the doorstep, " Sorry to interrupt you Young Master and My Lady but the dinner is served and your Auntie Hanabi wishes for your presence in the dining room.

The two Uzumaki's followed the old man.

The silver moon was shining beneath Boruto's window. He couldn't sleep and he was still thinking about the other dimensions that he hadn't checked yet. He sat in his bed and grabbed his father's old pouch. He took the letters and added them to the letters he found from the cave and other dimensions. He started to sort them through dates.

"I still have two days to collect some more. Two days before her inauguration as the Hokage..." he thought.

He grabbed the first letter and he started to read it.
