In a different world

CHAPTER 17

Boruto shifted a little, focusing his attention to Hanabi and Hiashi once more. "The Hyuga...a sacred clan, has never married anyone besides their own. That is until my father, Naruto Uzumaki, and my own mother, Hinata Hyuga did." A prickling feeling in the clan leader's gut was felt as the younger blonde mention his daughter's name. "I inherited my father's hair and physical features mostly. I am an Uzumaki and a Hyuga. My mother passed down the one thing that'll prove to everyone that I'm hers, this." Boruto focused the energy on his eyes, his blue eyes became a lighter colour, almost pupil less with veins popping from each eye. He showed his own Byakugan to the two pure Hyuga's.

Hiashi was left shocked in his seat. No one else is able to posses the Byakugan ability. Naruto on the other hand, thought it could go the other way instead  of having Boruto show his kekkei genkai but it was effective. Moreover, it got Hiashi's face to change expression. Hanabi turned back to her father, "Father, we can't deny it now. He has our family's ability and he resembles Naruto, even with those whisker marks." Boruto relaxed himself, returning his eyes back to how they originally are.

"Boruto," Hiashi said before gulping a little, clearing his troat before continuing his sentence, "so it is the truth you were speaking earlier? That you are Hinata's son and my grandson from a different reality?"

The blonde male nodded, his eyes bore the same look as Naruto whenever he's serious about something or adamant.

"Naruto, how did this happen?" Hiashi asked his son in law. "We just discovered it this afternoon. Boruto came with a marble, the sole reason he's here in the first place. Our science researcher, Miss Mako uncovered and resolved our problem."

Hanabi tilted her head a little as she observed Boruto from the corner of her eyes. Naruto continued, "A lost orb turned marble appeared before Boruto and granted him his answer to a question he unknowingly asked."

A confuse look ran pass their faces. "She told us, the marble, was once an orb was used by an old clan, Sibyl, to show their accurate prediction or a possible reality. One unfortunate event lead to the elders of that clan to turn the orb into a marble for safekeeping. Their downfall was because the entire clan was massacre and due to the clan's small number, they're no known descendants. Their orb, now marble, was lost. Well, up till Boruto found it."

Hiashi raised his head and drank the tea from his cup before responding, "Sibyl, you said?" His ears perked up at the mention of the particular name.

"Y-yes. Is there anything you know about it?". The old man's eyes fell to the ground, releasing a deep breath, "Long ago, one of our forefathers were associated with the Sibyl clan. The Hyuga and the Sibyl were to make an alliance. Given our ability and theirs, we would be able to protect one another with this alliance but those people got to them first. The elderly Hyuga's manage to track and hunt down every member of the people who massacred the Sibyl clan people."

Everyone in the room focused their attention at Hiashi with wide eyes, surprised on the fact that the Hyuga clan were once associated with them. Hanabi knew nothing of the fact until now, even Naruto.

"Miss Mako did say it finds someone similar to the Sibyl clan people. Could that be the soul reason it cane to Boruto, father?" Hiashi frowned a little, remembering back what his grandparents told him about the Sibyl clan, "No. The orb is mainly used for their clan but for others outside their own people to use it must have pure reasons, reasons in which the orb will answer." Hiashi explained. Boruto picked on the finger of his skin and spoke up instead,

"All this while, I care about mom and dad. Those past two weeks, mother was feeling almost depressed with dad's absence. Coming home from work, you-.." , Boruto turned to his dad, who had a soft frown on his face. "..You ignored her. She understood that work is important but what you did made me reminisce about the years before that. I thought they were going through a rough patch but I was wrong. All I did was wondered what would happen if they really were separated." The room fell silent and Naruto's gaze focused on the younger blonde as did Hanabi. Only the sound of trees rustling from the outside courtyard garden can be heard.
