Konoha's New Prodigy: A New Path

8

"I'm sorry Lord Shinki, but the council has made it's final decision." said one of the council men to the son of the Fifth Kazekage. "There will be no wedding between the next Kazekage and someone like her."

"Perhaps I haven't explained myself that much before. Himawari and I are getting married no matter what you all say." He replied after making a sigh. He knew convincing them wasn't an easy task, but there was no way he was giving up on his relationship that easily.

"We know about your position, Shinki-sama" said another man. "The Kazekage's sister had a similar situation back when they were young, but times were different. And now, we're not only talking about a marriage between two villages, but one based on someone who's power is unstable."

"You need to decide." Added another. "You have been chosen to become the Sixth Kazekage. Your job is to protect the village and the Five Nations no matter the cost."

"You talk as if Himawari hasn't gained any control of her condition in all the time she's been here." Shinki said. "If you read well, her medical reports say that she's been behaving well ever since she came here."

"That doesn't guarantee that she has been cured."

"It doesn't, but it shows progress."

"But for how long? Everyone already sees her as a monster and we don't want a time bomb living in our village and distracting our future leader from protecting it!"

Suddenly a loud noise against the table made everyone jump and stay in silence. They all turned their heads to Gaara who's facial expressions weren't easy to see, but there was no doubt that he was mad.

"Your words, your way of thinking.....it disgust me" he said as he opened his eyes.

"Your hypocrisy towards a situation you have dealt with before shows how little you have learned from the past. I have been a time bomb in the village ever since I was born. And look where I am. There was a time bomb in Konoha back in the days, and look where he is now. Naruto didn't chose to be born a jinchūriki, and neither did I. And yet, you let us live in our homes with the purpose of becoming your military's first defense. Himawari's not a jinchūriki, but her Tenseigan matches one. She had a huge role in the war against the Otsusuki, but at a high cost. She's paying that cost, and she's trying to live like everyone else. Now tell me, if Naruto ended on the same situation as Himawari right after defeating Kaguya, would you still hold something against him because he still has the Nine Tails inside him?"

Everyone stood silent listening the Kazekage before lowering their heads. Shinki looked at his father in admiration before turning back to face the council.

"I had made my choice. If you don't allow this marriage, I'm turning down the position of becoming the Kazekage." Shinki said, earning the shooked faces of everyone.

"B-But Shinki-sama!" One of the men said. "The village!"

"How can I lead you to the future if you're making me decide who to protect?" Shinki said before one of the guards entered the room and murmured something to him and then to Gaara.

"The meeting will be dismissed. There's an emergency my son and I must attend" Gaara said while everyone stood up and left.

"How could this happen?" Sarada asked herself while her, and Shikadai's team waited for the doctors to stabilize Himawari.

"Okay so how did it happen exactly?" Inojin asked for the fifth time.

Boruto rilled his eyes. "It's simple, I went there to talk to her and she freaked out."

"Just like that? You two didn't yelled at each other or anything?" Mitsuki asked.

"Well, we had a little discussion but it was more because I was panicking. I wanted to help her control herself but there was no use."

Sarada watched Boruto carefully. She knew there was more to that.

"It doesn't make sense to you right?" Shikadai said, making the young Uchiha gasp in surprise.

"Ah....yeah. Himawari's not that impulsive as her brother. She has more patience and based on her expedient, her episodes starts by her giving from small to big signals." She said.

"Hmmm right, but I meant Boruto's attitude. He normally freaks out when something happens to Hima. But now he seems calm. As if she were a stranger to him. Which makes me think, how did it happened?"

"What exactly?"

"You and him. How and when did you started dating?" Shikadai said before Sarada suddenly crossed her arms and looked away.

*Flashback*

"Ah, that was great..." Boruto said after finishing with Sarada. "It could've been better if you weren't that stubborn."

Sarada flinched as he caressed her face before standing up and dressing himself. Sarada stood in a fetal position for a while, before finding her strenght to sit up.

"You...you did this... You raped me!" She yelled before he pointed her neck with a kunai. That's when she noticed that his eyes were different.

"I didn't do anything you didn't enjoyed. Now we will do this. You and I will tell everyone that we're dating and we'll pretend that today was like an initiation of what will happen in the future, love."

"You're a monster. What makes you think that I will be your pet from now on?!" She said in rage and trying to hild her tears.

"I made you mine. Now what will everyone think of the heir of the Uchiha clan if they knew that you entered the house of a man to have some alone time?"

*End of Flashback*

"W-Well...we just...It started a while ago while doing some missions together." She said before noticing that Gaara, Kankuro and Shinki were arriving.

"Where is she?" Gaara asked.

"She's still in there being treated." Chocho replied. "Shikadai and Inojin found her unconscious in her apartment. Boruto was in there too, he can tell you more."

Shinki turned to Boruto and pushed him against the wall in rage with his iron sand.

"Shinki!" Kankuro yelled as everyone tried to stop him.

"What did you do to her?! Tell me now!" He said as Boruto struggled to get free.

"I-I-I....I just wanted to catch up with my dearest sister." He said with a smirk.
