Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

35

"Did you hear the news?" Mitsuki said. "Himawari's leaving the village."

"She will?" Sarada said while finishing throwning a kunai at the training grounds. "She hasn't finished the treatment. I wonder how Boruto feels."

"I found him at one of the benchs last night. He was mad at her for leaving."

*Flashback*

"You WHAT?!?! You can't do this dattebasa!" he yelled in anger at the dinner table.

"Himawari" Hinata said. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I am, mother. Shinki made this for me. He believes I can get better faster if I change the environment" she replied.

"And you believed him?!? Yeah right, he just wants to fuck you Hima. I can't believe dad approved this." he said while crossig his arms.

"BORUTO!!" Hinata yelled. "Mind your words, Himawari's your sister!"

"Don't deny it mom! Look at her! There's only one reason why someone like him would even get close to her. She's a grown up woman of course he will do an offer to her like that!"

"And if is like that then what?!? You've been leaving the village before you left the academy. Kami knows what exactly you've been doing back then!" Hima replied as she got up. "Now tell me. What have you been doing after I left the hospital? Have we trained together? Have we went to lunch or have a nice time together as brothers? Hmm?!?"

"I have been working for the village Hima. You won't understand because-"

"Because is not of my concern? Pardon me, brother but who was the main reason these past two wars started?"

Boruto looked at his sister with wide eyes as he got up. He stood still, hesitant, staring at her for a while. Then he decided to leave without a word.

"See? That's the only thing you know to do right" Hima said before turning to her mother. "Mom, I will leave tomorrow after Shinki leaves all his business set."

*End of flashback*

"Wow, that was a harsh talk" Sarada said with concern.

"He denies it, but he still sees Himawari as the time she was disguised as Hana..." Mitsuki said. "He looks at her in a different way before realizing it and turning away in shame."

"He needs help"

"You need to talk to him." he replied as she was about to cut him off. "I know he is mad at you for what happened with Toneri, but I think is time to face things and solve it between you two."

"I don't know if he will listen." Sarada said.

"You're Sarada Uchiha. If there's only one person who can tell the truths in the face of the son of the Greatest Hokages of all, and made him listen, and do anything you say...is you."

******

Toneri sensed someone opening the door. He smirked.

"You finally have the courage to show up" he said.

"Tell me everything you have done to her." Boruto said in a serious tone. Toneri smiled.

"Are you gonna pretend that you don't know? I helped her to be free." he replied.

"You played with her. You placed horrible things in her head to control her."

"I only showed her the truth. But now that you're here I might ask... What happened between you and her when she was disguised?"

"I don't understand-"

"Yes you do. You knew it was her, your heart couldn't deny it. But somehow, you started seeing her differently..."

"Lies. She's only my sister."

"You fancy her" he smirked. "You know you want her close. You want to feel her, to touch her in the same way she will be touched by that sand boy."

"You're lying!" he said while punching Toneri in rage.

"You can't deny me what's clear to my eyes. Isn't this why you looked for me in the first place? To do something so she would need to stay here?"

Boruto stood silent.

"Forbidden love" Toneri sighed. "You know, everything comes with a price. And I can't do anything if I'm chained up here."

"I won't free you"

"I'm not asking you that" he moved one of his chained hands. "Just allow me to do what you're asking me to. Deal?"

Boruto looked at Toneri's hands. He hesitated for a while, but if this meant to have Himawari by his side....so be it.

He got out of the cell and looked for one guard. "Call the medics."

The guard obeyed as Boruto walked away with a smirk. One that only Toneri would make.
