Prologue

Boruto

Gone Part 2

I silently entered my hideout. Although now, it was my permanent home. Any aspirations I had for the future were gone and my goals for the future diminished. I never thought that things would turn out this way. I knew that I wouldn't be welcomed with open arms, but never did I think I have multiple targets on my back.

I knew fully well that this decision that I made couldn't be reversed and that I was selfish for doing it, but I can't have any regrets moving forward. At the end of the day, this was my decision. I chose to give up the life I once had; a life with my parents, my sister, my friends, and the whole village.

But it was better this way... Now, no one would bully my sister. My dad could return to being the Hokage instead of focusing of finding his stupid son. And my mom wouldn't be filled with anguish like before. It would all be okay now. Now that I was gone.

I looked around the now dusty hideout. I hadn't been in here for a while. I still had a lot of food but going to get it wouldn't be as complicated as before. But I also had to think of a long term plan. I did have some money saved up, but not a lot to survive me years. For now, I was okay, but in around a year I would have to have my plan set.

"..." I looked over at the table and saw the fake Hima letter Sarada had given me. It made me so angry to think that she would use my sister like that just to get to me. How could she! My eye suddenly started to sting. Everytime I get really angry, this would happen. It feels like a surge of power suddenly enters me but it's scary because I can't control it.

As I thought about my eye, I knew that I still didn't know much about it or what it can do. Becides controlling the future, altering/ erasing memories, and fueling my gust of lighting, its origin is still a mystery to me. Sooner or later, I would have to go research it again, but now, I just needed to rest. I hadn't gotten some proper sleep for a while now.

I went to go lay on my bed but more memories kept on coming back to me. Memories of the last time I slept well...

We trained for a couple more hours before heading off to bed. I've let Sarada sleep on the bed, while I sleep on the floor. I didn't mind it though.

I was drifting off to sleep, but I heard Sarada talking in her sleep. "No, please stop. No!" She yelled, waking up covered in sweat. I immediately got up, grabbing my sword. However, I put it back when I realized that she was just having a nightmare.

She looked over at me with teary eyes. "Hey, it's okay. You were just having a nightmare." She didn't say anything, but instead came over and hugged me. I was shocked at first, but then hugged her back.

"I thought that you were gone." I pulled away and looked at her. "Everyone had left me. Well, everyone hated me. You were the only one left, but then you left too."

I pulled her back into the hug. "I'm here Sarada. I promise I'm not going to leave you." We laid down on the ground bed together. After a couple minutes she had fallen asleep on me.

It felt different at first, but then I got used to it. It didn't take me to long to fall asleep after that.

Tears suddenly started to fall from my eyes. "Why you, Sarada?!" I yelled out in anguish. I had so much built up emotions in me that needed to be let out. I was still young and I hated being alone. Before, even if I was alone, I knew that people still thought of me but now, I'm nobody. I'm a shadow now. But at the end of the day, I did this to myself.

I closed my eyes and cried for the rest of the night. I needed to let out all my emotions before permanently shutting them off. I learned the hard way that having feelings was a weakness. The ability to trust isn't a good thing, it's something that can destroy you in seconds. And before I knew it, sleep had consumed me.

Things felt... werid. My eyes suddenly opened and I was standing in the conference room. Many people were around me and slowly waking up as well. What had happened? My whole body felt sore and the whole place was destroyed.

"Sasuke? What's going on?" I asked him as I held onto my aching head, but he just as confused as I was. And as I went around checking on the people and asking them about what happened, it seems like we were all in the dark. It felt like an important thing was missing from my mind; something that could explain what was going on, but I didn't know what... or who it was.

"Dad!" I heard my daughter come up to me. "What's going on?" She asked me but I didn't know how to answer her. Slowly, but surely the missing piece to the puzzle would return, but for now, it was a mystery.
