Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

"Again? More papers?!?!" Konohamaru said whike smashing his head to the desk. Shikamaru looked at him with a sigh.

"It's so troublesome having to deal with your attitudes man. And to think I've had enough with Naruto" he sighed.

"I don't know how did he do it man" he replied. "This is crazy!"

"The struggles of being a Hokage. You're lucky Naruto didn't gave you Sasuke's special missions. Those are a real pain in the ass."

"Hokage-sama" a tall, dark haired girl said while entering with her two comrades. "Mission report from Sunagakure, completed."

"You can quit the formalities, Sarada. You guys are still my students."

"But you're now the Eight Hokage" Mitsuki said. "That's highier that just a mere sensei"

"He's still an old man to me dattebasa" Boruto said while crossing his arms before earning a punch from the Uchiha heiress.

"Baka! Show some respect Boruto!!"

"Now what did I said!?!?"

"You know very well!!"

"Some things never change" Konohamaru sighed. "Alright, quit it you two. Just give me the report. Now go and rest."

"Hai!"

"The village has gone back to normal at a quick pase" Mitsuki said.

"Yeah. But unfortunately, others haven't" Sarada said.

"Still we have to help them"

Sarada nodded whule walking and noticing that Boruto hasn't said a word. "Hey, Boruto. What's wrong with you? You haven't said a word since we left the building."

"Yeah, that's so unlike you" Mitsuki added.

"Huh? Oh it's nothing" he said.

"Is her again right?" Sarada said while placing her now long hair behind her ears. "You still miss her."

"I didn't know it was gonna take this long dattebasa"

"Papa said it clearly. It's a mission that could take years."

"But you're used to that! He's been away from you almost all your life!"

"That doesn't mean that I don't miss him! Is just..." Sarada trailed off. "Is just that I....got used to it. I understand your feelings Boruto. Wanting to be by your sister's side all the time is good, but you know that this was gonna happen either way."

"The villagers hate her" Mitsuki added. "Ever since the war ended and when she left, they basically celebrated that she was no longer with us!"

"Thank you for reminding me that" Boruto said. "I gotta go. Mom's waiting for me"

"So, see you tomorrow then?" Mitsuki asked.

"Yup, see ya!" Boruto said while leaving. Sarada and Mitsuki waved at him until he disappeared.

"He still feels guilty" Sarada said. "I guess he won't forgive himself for almost killing his sister."

"And almost felling in love with her" Mitsuki added.

"With who she tried to be."

"With a valuable reason. It's obvious that she didn't wanted that to happen. She just wanted a chance to prove herself."

"And it costed us many things" Sarada murmured.

"You were jealous of her, remember? Her abilities were impressive during the war and she was caring and fearless. Those are great qualities for someone who can lead a village. Well, she's Lord Seventh's daughter. But still, once she proved she was a worthy ninja almost everyone fell in love with her. Even Boruto."

"I know, see ya' tomorrow Mitsuki" Sarada said while walking to her home.
