Uchiha Twin || Boruto

5 || The Sharingan

Sarada and I sat at the dinner table while slurping in our ramen noodles, she mumbled something under her breath which caught my attention.

"What was that?" I asked, her eyes glided up to me and she sighed.

"I can't believe Boruto actually got away from the incident earlier" Sarada spoke, mom entered the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"He is the son of Naruto after all" She chimed in, I glance back at Sarada who was twirling her noodles around with her chopsticks. I grabbed my finished bowl and walked to the sink, I placed the bowl in the sink and walked back to the dinner table.

"Is he that troublesome?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah, he's like a splinter in the butt" Sarada replied, mom let out a chuckle before she patted Sarada on her head.

"It's time to go to bed" She said and grabbed the ramen bowl away from Sarada

I sat inside Sarada's room on the floor with my back leaned on the side of her bed playing on my new phone when I hear her clear her throat, I turn my head around to see her staring down at me.

"Can I ask you about something?" She asked, I pushed myself off the side of the bed and turned my body around to be face to face with her.

"Yeah" I responded.

"Have you heard of the sharingan before?" She asked, the picture of dad's red eyes came to my mind.

"Isn't it the Uchiha's kekkei genkai?" I replied with a question, she sat up from her bed and nodded.

"Have you awakened it?" She suddenly asked, her question provoked the awful memory that I wished I could just forget.

"No" I lied, I don't know why I didn't tell her the truth. The answer no just slipped out from my tongue. She stared down at me like she didn't believe me for a second before she let out a sigh and fell back on her bed.

"I hope one day I can activate it" She mumbled, I forced out a chuckle. Does she know that if you want to activate the sharingan you have to experience a powerful emotion towards someone precious to you? I gazed down at the floor as the memory of how I activated my sharingan replayed in my head.

"Girls it's time to go to sleep" I hear mom speak through the closed door, I get up from the floor and said good night to Sarada before I exited her room making sure to close her door after me. I walked over to my own room and plopped down on the bed, I hear someone knock on my door and I glance up to see mom standing there.

"How was your first day?" She asked, I sighed.

"I don't know; it was unpredictable" I responded.

"It couldn't be that bad?" Mom asked.

"On my actual day here in Konoha a fricking train just flew over the academy and crashed into the hokage rock, yeah couldn't be any better" I sarcastically replied, mom let out a quiet laugh.

"Let's hope your second day at the academy will be better, sleep tight" She smiled warmly and closed my door, I collapsed on my bed and exhaled deeply. I am still not sure about this ninja thing, I rolled over to my side and stared out the window.

I wonder how dad is doing, I wish I was still with him. This school and settle down at one place isn't for me, and I have to pretend to be nice and social with the other kids too it's driving me insane. I mean, I guess it's good for me to study at the academy, dad did the same.

But, maybe this is good for me? It can help me to trust other people again, was that my dad's idea? Why would he send me here to learn how to trust when he doesn't even trust a single stranger when they offer to help? I sighed strongly as I rolled around to lay on my back.

Let's just see what tomorrow will bring.
