Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

22

The Hidden Mist village was calm and recovering quickly compared to the rest of the Five Nations. But in reality, everything was far away from normal.

Sasuke walked through the village before he suddenly felt a trace of chakra he knew very well. It didn't took long enough for him to sense that he was about to receive company.

With the use of his Rinnegan he went from the center of the village to the coast, just in time to see who was coming.

"Sasuke-kun!!!" he heard Karin's voice from afar. It didn't took long for him to spot her and the rest of the group, flying on birds made of ink.

"Sasuke-sensei!!!" Boruto yelled as he landed. "We need your help dattebasa. The village's been inva-"

"Calm yourself. We don't need more panic here..." he replied while covering his mouth.

"Papa!" Sarada said while suddenly approaching him. Sasuke's eyes widened as she embraced him in a hug, then he spotted the rest of the group.

"What's going on?"

"Konoha's been attacked by the Otsusuki clan" Kawaki said. "They took the village amd Himawari too."

"Himawari? She wasn't in a mission at Suna?" he asked.

"How did you know?" Sarada asked.

"Naruto"

"Then it was a trap" Shikadai said as Shinki looked at him.

"Then we must get her." he said.

"As much as I'll hate to admit it, I agree with you" Kawaki replied. "We got the emo guy here, so we must go back as soon as possible."

"Watch it" Boruto said.

"I'll go but with one condition" Sasuke said while walking foward. "You'll work under my rules."

"So, this seems like team Taka all over again" Suigetsu said.
 
"Taka?" Sarada asked while Suigetsu earned a warning look from Sasuke and a glare from Karin and Juugi.

"I uhh...er....you know what? Let's go..." he said.

Sasuke kept on walking thorugh the portal he created with his left eye. Soon he was followed by the rest. They arrived at the forest, near the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Where are we?" Chocho asked before everyone suddenly climbed the trees, avoiding the Otsusuki guards.

Karin suddenly jumped and placed herself in front of Sarada. "Someone's coming"

"Stand down. They're from us" Sasuke said as two boys, a blonde and a brunette one. Sumire quickly recognized them.

"Takeo, Hisoka!" She said. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Guys! You're alive!!!!" Takeo said with excitement while Hisako shut his mouth.

"They're gonna hear us." he said.

"What are you doing here?" Mitsuki asked.

"They heard the news about the village and approached me when I went to the Mist." Sasuke replied. "They were Himawari's comrades and got worried once the village was attacked."

"We came here to find ways to sneak into the village and free the prisoners, but every corner is being protected by the Otsusuki clan." Hisako added.

"Not all of it." Kawaki said.

"What do you mean?" Inojin asked.

"There's an abandoned emergency exit that connects to Konoha's undergrounds."

"Yeah but how can we determine if that's not already crowded by the enemy?" Shinki said. "It could be a trap."

"If there's a better suggestion, let me know." Kawaki said while sitting on a tree to rest.

"Show us the way" Sarada demanded while the two boys nodded with a smirk.
