It was now the departure day from kirigakure. Heads department, elite jounins of the mist, and even the Mizukage himself were at present in the occurring farewell depart of the four kages.

"Visit us someday, again!" Chōjūrō shook hands with Naruto

"Like I have time, but If I retire then I'll come here along with my wife. She'll be extremely excited if that happens!" The grinning blonde man said with casual

"You'll retire someday and that 'if' of yours will be 'it is' later on," Chōjūrō exclaim

Both of them took a laugh out, making the other kages embarrass for the moment

"Hey, stop laughing on things like you're still children!" Kurotsuchi nag at them, quite the type of bossy

"Well, we did meet when we were still kids so it's not a big deal if these two idiots have immature sides," the fifth Kazekage, Gaara clarified her incomprehension

"The Kazekage is right but it's kinda weird having a leader with a kid mind?!" The fifth Raikage, Darui scratch the back of his head

Gaara shrug at the idea and look back at the laughing idiots in front of them

"It's embarrassing!" Boruto whine at the sight

"What's embarrassing?" The young heiress step beside him

"Look at them!" He pointed at the blonde man laughing along with the other Kage "even the others call him a child and his 'child' saw how he shows his stupidity to everyone!"

She let out a small chuckle and let Boruto notice it, but he did not look at her face but at her hand

"Why are you bringing a flower back at Konoha? You could just buy at aunt Ino's shop, ya' know?!"

She looks at him with a stunned expression and looks at her hands where the small lilac tree resting in her hands

"True, I could just buy... but this one's special,"

"How special?" He frowns

She looks down beneath that beautiful blossom. Although Kagura didn't make it to see them off because of the busy schedule, she felt his presence from the flower on her palm

~● Flashback●~

"What's this?" Looking at the small pot he handed to her

"A flower, of course!" He replied with a sense of happiness in his smile

"I know but why are you giving to me?"

"I know it's weird for me to give this to a girl... I'm a guy, after all. But I just think that it seems to fit you," she raises a brow at him "this one bloomed before spring, ahead of time indeed. It simplifies a good season this year so you're the first, I might as well let you have it!"

She didn't know what he meant by 'first' but she just gladly accepts the offer

She smiles beautifully, just like he assumes she would be, "thanks!"

~●End of Flashback●~

He looks at the blonde boy before her "Because someone gave it to me!" She smiles gently, looking down upon the purple shade of its flowers, again

What's with that smile? Did a guy gave her that?... she isn't very fond of flowers but what change her?... is it... kagura?

Boruto kept staring at her side figure, frowning of what he thought to bother him the most

Four ships sail in a different direction, wherein everybody faces forward towards the flat sea from the mist...

It's been a week since they've arrived back at Konoha. In the following days, it became festive, shops have decoration of hearts outside and inside. Of course, it's three days away from Valentine's day, every shop should be festive, especially the Yamanaka's flower shop which seems to be loaded with red roses all over it...

On the thunder burger, along with the boys; Boruto, Mitsuki, Inojin, Metal, Denki, and Iwabe...

"It became so festive now, isn't it? Not a week ago when it's undecorated and now it looks so peculiar in my pace" Iwabe cross his arms onto his Jounin vest and lean against the soft boundary before them

"That's because you never tried dating!" Inojin smirk by teasing

"Hey! I'm not like you hitting on shits! I'm focusing on reaching my goals, I ain't having fun while I'm at the bottom!" The cranky Iwabe pointed his finger at the pale blonde boy, but he just smiles in return

"Now that you mention dating," Denki started and look at Boruto "Where do you plan on taking Sumire?"

Everyone looks at him with curious eyes. well, he's the only one who had a girlfriend before them, and for all, you know... it's a big deal for them

"Hmm... maybe I'll let her do what she wants?!" He shrugs at the idea

"Eh? No surprises?" Metal asks with wide eyes

At the same time inojin shrug back at Boruto "Well, we can't expect something big from the famous Boruto Uzumaki!" Everyone let out a chuckle expect for Boruto who frown his way into they chuckle

"By the way, I wonder if Sarada has a date that day?" Denki yet again started

"Why, you wanna hit on her?" The pale blonde boy ask

"That's not what I mean," Denki waves his hands in deny "She's been popular lately and it won't be that hard have found a date on Valentine's day, won't it!"

Every heard Boruto said 'Tch!' And thought that maybe it bothers him a little

"You're not getting irritated hearing Sarada dating, are you?" Inojin tease with such excitement

Well, everyone on his gang knows how obvious Sarada is to him but they didn't try to butt in because if they do, who knows if they could still see the sun tomorrow

"Why would I be? She has the freedom and let her choose her date, it's none of my business! Besides, it's not like she's interested in any guys!" He said proudly

"Huh? I thought she was already dating someone?" Mitsuki finally spoke. Everyone turn their eyes on him

"Who?" They all said in unison

"I might have a clue but not certain, so I won't tell yet!" Their hopes of knowing turn to disappointment "But I notice that she like that lilac tree and often caring it before we came back from the hidden mist!" And then again everyone turns an eye to him

Inojin, expect in flowers since his mom had a shop turn an interesting face to Mitsuki "there are violet, blue, magenta, and light purple lilacs... if I may guess, she has the light purple one, didn't she?"

"Yes!" Mitsuki smile happily. Since both of them knew from the beginning that it meant 'First Love'

"I see..." and the pale boys exchange smiles

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Iwabe barge into the conversation

Inojin turns to his oldest friend "We'll tell you sooner!"
