If Sumire had left the village [Borusumi One Shot]

One Shot

Sumire's POV

"Due to the ghost incidents that you've caused, the academy cannot accept you again, Sumire." My teacher, Shino-sensei said.

I frowned and lowered my head in front of him, not wanting to see his eyes. "... Okay, I understand, Shino-sensei."

"I'm quite disappointed but in the end, you made the right choice. The school you'll be going at is a great school. You'll be able to adjust. You're scheduled to go there 2 days from now but I'm still going to try if I could ask the higher ups to give you a chance." He said and patted me on my shoulder. "Don't lose hope, Sumire."

"... Okay, I'm sorry for the troubles I've caused for all of you."

To be honest, I didn't want to transfer to another academy because I like it here but it'll be hard to go back to the academy now because of what I did... And it's breaking me because of that.

***

Today is the day.

I packed everything that I need.

I already decided... to not tell anyone that I'll be leaving today.

I asked Shino-sensei a favor, to make up an excuse for me. I don't want anyone stopping me from doing what's right. I don't want them to see me leaving... especially Boruto-kun.

I haven't showed up in class ever since the incident. Who knows? Maybe they've forgotten about me already.

Of course.

Who'd want a traitor like me? Someone who tried to explode the whole village by using Nue?

I gripped tighter on my bag. Thanks to Boruto-kun, I know now that I can correct my mistakes and that is: To transfer out to another village and repent for my sins.

I don't want to be a burden to anyone. I'll train really hard as a way of repenting and then, maybe I'll-

No... The village can never forgive me.

As I stood up in front of the hokage faces, I started remembering vague things. Like, how I met Boruto-kun and the others here. It was the start of our academy life and Boruto-kun crashed into Hokage-sama's face monument and destroyed it.

That day, it made me laugh but I didn't judge him.

I started walking towards the Konoha gate. I should be getting out now or else, my classmates- no, former classmates might see me.

I don't know what I'll do if they found out about me... leaving the village.

I closed my eyes and remembered each and every one of my classmates. I will never forget their faces. Maybe if we all grew up, we could still recognize each other's faces.

I wish that it's easy as that.

Not knowing how much time I consumed, I didn't notice that I was already in front of the gate.

I took a deep breath.

Beyond this gate contains places I haven't seen, and of course that includes the enemies of Konoha. I must be prepared for all of that. Besides, the village I'll be transferring at is just near.
