Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

"We have to get her back dattebasa!" Boruto said in a hurry while the rest of Team 7 waited to get news about Kawaki.

"Boruto just calm down! We need to check if Kawaki's alright!" Sarada said.

"I son't care about him! The more time we waste on him the more chances we get of losing Hima!"

"Boruto control yourself!" Shinki yelled at him with rage. "We will rescue her once Kawaki gets well."

"That's if she doesn't handle everything herself" Mitsuki said, breaking the tension between everyone. "What? She's been under Sasuke-san's training for 2 years."

"So you mean we shouldn't help her?" Sarada asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I'm saying that we must trust her" he explained. "There are many questions about this situation. Why did they took her? Why now, why not before? The only reason I can think of is that-"

"They knew she was coming..." Sarada said, deep in thought.

"But who is behind this?" Boruto asked. "Himawari doesn't have any enemies..."

"You think?" Sarada said. "Boruto, Himawari's actions during the war made the villagers resent her to this day."

"You're saying it's her fault?" Shinki said.

"I'm saying that her inner strength invites challenge. Why do you think the number of crimes and threats at the Five Nations increased? It may be not too obvious for the people, but we know that the peaceful era in which we grew up is long gone." Sarada explained, while looking at her hands. "She may not have the experience, but she's been trained by Hanabi-sama and my father...She knows more about his techniques than me...his own daughter."

"She's stronger than any of us....than me.." Boruto said while lowering his head with mixed feelings.

"We have to trust her" Shinki said. "It doesn't mean we'll abandon her, but we will use this time to make a good rescue plan."

"Hai!"

I fell on the ground, not knowing where I was. All I knew that the man I was about to hit disappeared as soon as I went to attack him.

'Way to go Hima, you just let your emotions play with you....again'

"You should've stayed away" a male voice said. I activated my Byakugan to try to locate him. "Such power to make you see everything, yet you're so blind.."

"Who are you?" I said while a group of dark clothed and masked people appeared in front of me. "What do you want?!?"

"To see an empire fall" said the man. "We've been looking for you, Himawari, but you were so far away looking for something that has been at your sight from the very beginning."

"Shut up! You don't know what I was looking for."

"Yes we do, because we were looking for it too."

By this time I knew this wasn't about the medical supplies. "Then why take me away?"

"You'll see when the time comes" he said while I sensed someone standig behind me and knocking me unconscious.
