Andante Andante (Mitsusara Fanfiction)

The Third Time

The third time he said it, he was going to do something stupid.

Damn it, Mitsuki thought.

Konohamaru was down, somewhere far behind him.

Boruto is knocked out, a little to his left.

And Sarada is beside him, injured.

They were both panting hard, facing their opponent.

At the corner of his eye, he saw Sarada's blood dripped down from her shoulder in which she tried to immediately close with medical ninjitsu.

I'm going to kill that bastard, Mitsuki hissed.

It was one fine summer morning for the young teenagers who have grown taller and stronger than the summers long ago.

Noticeably was Team 7, who were seen on their way marching towards the tower.

Naruto gave them a simple recon mission. Go to a Moon Temple northernmost of Konoha, investigate the strange Chakra around the said Temple that was reported by its monks three days ago, and report back to the Hokage.

They set out as soon as the break of dawn and the way there went smoothly.

Three days later, it was a dark night and they found themselves in front of the temple gates waiting for the monks to welcome them.

But no one came.

It only took a whole minute for the blonde ninja to complain.

"What's taking them so long, datebassa?"Boruto whined.

"They were supposed to meet us here." Konohamaru placed a hand on his chin in deep thought.

"Then let's meet them first!" Boruto rushed inside.

"Baka Boruto! What if they're pray-"

"Atatata!" Boruto tried nursing the bump in his head, "Sarada! Can you stop beating me up for just a minute!?"

"Boruto, it's not me." Sarada replied standing too far from Boruto to be able to hit him. Everyone turned their heads back to the temple.

Barrier!? All members of the squad are suddenly on their guards and moved back a handful of meters away from the gate.

"Sarada," Captain Konohamaru called out to the young lady with long raven hair and she nodded.

Sarada closed her eyes, then opened them again. Red eyes seemingly glowed as she scanned the area.

"There's a thick barrier up ahead starting at the gate." She sharpened her sharingan for a bit, "I think a cooperative four-man barrier-shattering jutsu should do the trick."

"No need." Mitsuki stated and casually walked in front of the barrier placing his hand on it.

The other members watched and stared in amazement as the barrier shattered leaving imaginary dust on its wake.

"How did you do that?" Sarada asked as she ran to Mitsuki with Konohamaru and Boruto trailing behind.

"Secret." Mitsuki replied and waited for them.

"Wah Mitsuki is so cool!!!" Boruto cheered and patted his teammate's back.

Many years together, yet still a lot to learn. Konohamaru thought.

After a few moments they split up, Boruto going with Mitsuki and Sarada with Konohamaru.

It did not take long for them to regroup. As soon as they saw the bodies of the dead monks a blast shook them and the temple seems to be falling.
