Boruto: The End Of The Shinobi Era

20: Going back

"Aw, I'm caught. Hide and seek is over for me", The black form giggled in a somewhat auto tuned voice. Kurami furrowed her brows while glaring at it.

"Tell me who you are", She demanded as she growled while holding her shurikens. The thing chuckled.

"Seriously? You don't know me? Ah, this world won't tell the full story won't they"

Kurami was bewildered and also curiosity got the best of her.

"If I knew who you were, I wouldn't ask the bloody question"

The black figure smiled like a Cheshire cat.

"My name is Black Zetsu and I'm your guardian", He said joyfully. She stood there for a moment in the process of thinking. Her eyes lightened up.

"If you're my guardian, then you should know where I come from and.......my family!", She said in higher tone.

"Yes, I do, but I'm not here to talk to you about that"

"Then what?"

He replied back to her.

"I'm here to talk to you about your true powers and the Kara. You don't need to know about your family just yet"

She gulped and pondered. Her gaze turned stern. She signalled him that she was listening. She needed to know.

"During the Great Fourth Shinobi War, before my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was sealed by the Hokage and Sasuke, she founded your dead body and decided to place half of her soul into you in order to use you to gather back all the chakra spread in this wretch world"

Her eyes widened at the name Kaguya Otsutsuki. She remembered learning about her in a library with Jigen when she was like eight.

Kaguya was portrayed as one of the most respected and powerful history figure throughout the whole world as well as Madara. To them, both of them were the true heroes instead of villains. The Kara wanted to create peace through their ways and Kurami realised she was the key piece to Kara's fulfilment.

"W-why did she p-pick me?", She stuttered. She was having mixed emotions and she felt natural chakra circumnavigate her entire body. It was in the process of awakening.

"Once she identified your bloodline, she knew you weren't normal. In fact, she said you came from far away, somewhere in the sky". The black Zetsu focused on her eyes this time, "that chakra and bloodline infusion created your dojutsu, but the thing is it doesn't have a name and the karma mark means you cease to be ordinary"

She looked down, "So I became Kaguya's will?"

The Zetsu nodded in agreement. The more the Zetsu talked, the more she believed him. Whatever he blurted out, had a point. No matter how much someone works for peace, it always get shattered by ungrateful bastards or for someone's greed. It was reality. For example, the Kages meeting. Kurami had hope and thought that peace could sustain as long as they have someone like...... Naruto. But no matter what, it just wouldn't work. That was the time, she lost faith in humanity.

Being like Kaguya and Madara wouldn't be too bad.

"I saw you did the procedure on your friend, Kawaki. You must be furious about the Kara"

Kurami chuckled at him funnily, "No, I'm not mad at them. They did it to revive him"

Kurami turned around and looked up into the sky. The stars shined in the darkness as the light of hope. One day, she will become that light. She then looked at the black figure and made a decision. She wanted to go back to the Kara and learn how to control her karma seal and train more.

She packed up some of her stuff and left the useless stuff . She wet a tissue a wiped at the back of her neck, revealing the Roman numeral, ten. Lastly, she opened her closet and grabbed a black cloak. She wore it and stepped out of the apartment.

"Boruto!"

Boruto shrieked at the front door. He saw his mother, crossed arm, strictly eyeing on him with her byakugan. He was dead scared of her for sure.

"Why did you come back home late? It's twenty past ten", She asked calmly, but at the same time, terrifyingly. Boruto whimpered and stuttered.

"I w-was with a-a friend", Boruto said honestly. He had to. Mothers can tell if their children lied or not. Plus her having the Byakugan. His mom smiled, knowing that her son didn't lie to her. But at the same time mad that he came late.

She pinched his ear painfully and brought him to the dining area, where everyone was eating dinner. Himawari noticed her brother and ran towards him with a big hug.

"Oniichan, you're back!"

Boruto smiled at her brightly and patted her head. Kawaki, on the other hand, was watching them secretly. He sat beside a shadow clone of Naruto. Kawaki looked at the dish in front of him, untouched.

"Oniichan, you know what? Kawaki-kun helped me make another vase for mum and it looks pretty!", Himawari cheerfully said while she credited Kawaki and pointed the new vase. Boruto's face darkened as he glared at Kawaki. He did the same. Boruto went up to him and said,

"I don't know what you're up to, but don't you dare make the wrong move on us or you'll regret it big time", He growled. The shadow clone stopped him. Kawaki scoffed at his overconfident attitude, which sickens him.

"Boruto, that's enough!", Hinata shouted. Himawari grabbed his arm.

"Oniichan, I don't like it when you don't give people a chance"

Boruto looked at her wholeheartedly. Indeed, he has a soft heart for her.

Kawaki ignored them and grabbed his chopsticks to eat his dinner, in a while. Boruto calmed down and sat on a seat furthest away from him while there was Himawari sitting close to him with a big smile on her face. Eh?

What the hell, Himawari?

Hinata gave Boruto his dinner before he said thank you and ate his food.

A few minutes later, the kids finished their dinner and it was time for them to go to their bedrooms. Boruto and Himawari left, leaving both adults and Kawaki. The shadow clone rose up from his seat and grinned at the grim face.

"Now I'll usher you to a room where you will be sleeping in dattebayo!"

Kawaki rolled his eyes and muttered, "Yeah, whatever"

The clone stared at him in amusement. He rubbed at the back of his neck.

This guy is going to be hard to deal with. Harder than Boruto dattebayo....
