And just like that, the day ended early for Naruto fortunately. Shikamaru and the rest of his team, mainly Konohamaru and Moegi helped him through it. Naruto stretched his back, letting out a loud yawn as his eyes lay upon a younger blonde, currently sitting with a few scrolls Naruto allowed him to read. Naruto could hear Boruto muttering under his breath as he focused hard, not realising that the older blonde was admiring him.

'It's time.' Naruto thought. He had set up a meeting with his former teammates, both Sakura and Sasuke. The two were more than happy to have him join them for dinner, and much to Sarada's delight, it was an honour to have her icon of a hero sitting across her on the same table. "Boruto, I'm done with work. Let's head out now?" He asked.

Boruto closed the scroll and kept it back into a box and nodded his head. "Heading back home now?" Boruto rubbed his palms together to wipe away some dust from he got from the scrolls. "Uh...no. We're going to the Uchiha's. If there's anyone else I want to introduce you to first, it's them. They also need to know about your arrival here. Sakura and Sasuke are like family to me, I want them to know the truth." Naruto explained as he made his right hand into a fist before bumping it on Boruto's shoulder. "Plus, Sakura would love too meet you."

"Moegi, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, you're excused for the day. Thanks for today's work." Shikamaru went up next to the orange Hokage, nudging him slightly. "Might as well ask Sasuke about this." The two eyed Boruto, who was talking cheerfully with both Moegi and Konohamaru before exiting the room.

A group of five sat around the table. Clinking sounds of cutlery is heard as two pairs of onyx eyes and a pair of jade green stared with astonishment at the young man. Sakura's eyes drifted from Naruto and back to Boruto, she gripped Sasuke's arm, pinching him a little, causing the man to wince. "Sakura, might as well pinch yourself please. Not me." He frowned a little. "Sorry, dear. It's just-just impossible. I mean, you really look like Naruto, Boruto-kun!" Sakura pointed out as she rested her chin on the palm of her hands. Giving him a grin. Both Sasuke and Sakura were shocked at first, they had their tongues tied the first time Boruto walked through their doors, wearing the same outfit Naruto wore around the age of eighteen.

"Um thank you, Aunt Sakura. I've been told." Sakura smirked a little as she rested her back on the wooden dining chair. "You called me Aunt Sakura...I love that." She chirped. Sarada on the other hand kept her eyes on the young man. "Can I ask you something? Nanadaime said that you're from a different reality. Surely theres a different me? Right?" The heiress asked timidly at Boruto, showing a hint of shyness in her expression. Boruto simper a little before answering, "The you that I grew up with? Well, you like to nag at me all the time during missions, you're quite brilliant at what you do which is why the you in my world is now a Jounin. Just like Aunt Sakura, you're learning medical jutsu's. I know that you're best friends with Cho Cho and funny things is I'm now your boyfriend."

Sasuke choked on his food and gripped his fork harder when Boruto mentioned his relationship with his beloved daughter. Sakura and Naruto's mouths were wide opened and Sarada was in pure shock. Boruto tried to contain his laughter but bursted out saying, "I'm just messing with you guys! Sarada and I in my world are just teammates. Friendnemies to be exact, we're always competing with one another on basically anything. I don't want to be second best."

The raven haired girl raised a brow with curiosity, "Second best? So I'm better than you?" Naruto saw Boruto sweat a little at her comment. His son pouted his lips a little as the Uchiha daughter waited for his answer. "I don't know much. Since both of us are on the same team, we depend on one another. People compare us all the time since you're the daughter of an Uchiha and me, son to a Hyuga heiress and the Hokage. Honestly, you're pretty cool, Sarada."
