Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

'Himawari'

'Not again'

'Himawari'

'Please, just leave me be! What do you want from me?!?!'

'I can't'

'What do you mean?'

'The world is in danger'

'Danger? From who?'

'Danger. The world is in danger, love. You have the power to stop it. Just listen to my words Himawari and don't stop looking for me'

'Ooookaaayyy, I don't get you'

'Himawari'

'Oh Kami not again!'

'Himawari'

'At least tell me your name!'

'You said you wouldn't forget me, Hana'

'What?'

'Himawari'

'Wait!'

'Himawari'

'Wait, stop! Stop, don't go!'

I woke up in the middle of the night, again. It's been a while since I've had those nightmares. But this time it felt more close, more...real. I quickly went to the mirror to see if my Tenseigan was activate it, and indeed it was but it had a different color. It was my dad's color when he went to Kurama's mode.

"He's alive. I know it. I need to tell them." I said while remembering the voice. I knew it was him, but it's confusing. Everything he says doesn't make any sense.

"You have to tell them" said a voice from behind me. I turned around in a defensive mode before realizing it was Boruto the one who was standing.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"You had the vision right? It also happened to me dattebasa" he said while walking to the window.

"To you? How?"

"My Jougan and...this..." he replied while looking to the curse mark he had in his hand  "I can sense his chakra too."

"Do you think he's alive?" I said while placing my hand in my chest. Boruto turned around and placed one hand in my cheek. "He's alive right? He...He suffered so much. He sacrificed for me, believed in me, he loves me and..."

By this time my eyes were watering. I looked up to him, searching for an answer, for something that only my brother could say to make me feel better. Instead, he looked at me with a mixture of hope and....pain?

Then, out of nowhere he whiped my face and kissed my forehead. I don't have a clue of what he's doing but somehow, it feels good to be comforted by your older brother. But before I could react or speak, he was nowhere to be seen. I activated my Byakugan to see if he was back in his room, but he wasn't. I walked up to the window and stared at the village thinking of his weird manners. I can't help but chuckle at my stupid onii-chan attitude.

"He's an idiot. An idiot that somehow manages to make me feel better when I'm in a sad mood." I said before going back to sleep.

Morning came and Sarada was ready to go out and meet up with Team 7 to start their training.  She went to the kitchen to have some breakfast before leaving.

"Morning" she said while rubbing her eyes.

"Ah, Sarada! You woke up early" Sakura said with a nervous tone as she walked towards her. Then she was followed by her husband.

"I usually wake up at this hour mom" she said before noticing her father's presence. "Ah, now I see" she winked with a smirk.

"E-eeh?!" Sakura said while blushing.

"I was about to leave anyway. I have to meet up with Boruto and Mitsuki. We train in the afternoon right papa?" she said while her father walked towards her and poked her forehead before she left.

"Don't be late" he said.

"It's fine papa. I can take care of myself" she smiled as she left. Sasuke smiled back at her before turning around to Sakura.

"She's excited to see you but she doesn't show it that much. She's just like you" Sakura said.

"Hn. I have a meeting about the mission report at the building. It'll take all morning." he said.

"Then make sure you'll be on time to be with her" she said while giving him his lunch and kissing his lips quickly. "I'll be at the hospital if you need me."

"Hn."

Sarada didn't took so long to find Boruto and Mitsuki who were unusually early, waiting for her.

"You're late" Boruto said.

"Actually, I'm on time. You came early. What's wrong?" Sarada replied. She was too smart to know that something bothered the Uzumaki.

"I saw you leave Himawari's room last night." Mitsuki added while Sarada's eyed widened.

"We're having the same nightmares again dattebasa."

"That's not good."

"And what are you gonna do about it?" Sarada said while crossing her arms. "It's no coincidence that your nightmares started as soon as Himawari came back. Maybe it has something to do with your Jougan."

"But Himawari has the Tenseigan. It's different." Boruto replied.

 "They're both descendants from the Otsusuki clan. Your mother is the Byakugan Princess and the Hyuga clan is mainly directly related to the Otsusuki." Sarada explained.

"I just know that we must find Kawaki soon dattebasa. Himawa-" Boruto said before sensing a stra ge chakra coming from one of Konoha's forests. Sarada and Mitsuki also stood up and got prepared for whatever was coming.

"Do you feel it?" Mitsuki asked.

"Yeah, it comes from the forest." Boruto saod while running towards it.

"Could it be him?" Sarada asled while following him. "This feels very familiar."

Then team 7 sudde ly stopped as the saw an unconscious man laying on the ground. The three members looked at each other confused before examining the body.

"Doesn't seem badly injured. But he seems to be pretty drained." Sarada stated.

"Why is he here anyway? This is a training area." Mitsuki added.

"We should go to the hospital dattebasa" the Uzumaki said.

"But first, we need to see who he is." Sarada said while turning around the boy before letting out a huge gasp. Mitsuki and Boruto went closer before doing the same. Team 7 stood speechless for a moment before regaining composture.

"You should call her Boruto" Mitsuki said.

"Me?!? Why me?!?!" he replied.

"Idiot, Himawari deserves to know that Kawaki's alive!" Sarada said in annoyance. "And we should tell the Hokage and Lord Seventh. This isn't mere coincidence."

Boruto nodded before leaving to his home to find his little sister. But even though he knew it wasn't mere coincidence, he was happy thay Hima didn't had to go away on long missions. But how can he say it? How can he tell her that his beloved is suddenly alive, and back at the village?
