Solo

Chapter 4

Boruto

The tension was clearly in the air. It seemed as if no one knew how to react to me. They all welcomed me with either fake or real smiles but I was only sure of one thing right now. They don't trust me. The way Mitsuki is eyeing me down and the side glances Sarada and Shikadai are giving each other is indicative enough. However, Rain is the only one not on guard. It was... odd?

"So, Sol, how did you join the group?" Sarada asked me and I hesitated. I thought that they would know at least something but they knew nothing at all. "I mean, we knew that we would eventually get more people, but we've already started our training."

I didn't know if to lie or tell the truth. Both answers I had in mind weren't good ones but it wasn't like I was trying to impress them. "I wasn't given much of a choice. I'm a delinquent and Sasuke saw potential in me and asked me to either join or stay locked up. So of course, I joined." I said confidently. There wasn't much detail but it was the truth. Now, I just needed to wait for their reaction.

"Wait, so how are you the leader if you are just some delinquent Sasuke picked up?" Shikadai said with a harsh tone. "I'm not going to take orders from a person like you. And I'm sure that the rest of us feel the same way." He said as he pushed me away in an aggravating matter. He wanted a reaction out of me and I wasn't sure if I wanted him to have it.

"You don't want to start something with me, okay," I said in a threatening matter. I wasn't just going to let him run his mouth. Especially after everything we went through in the past. "Sasuke is smart. Why would he make me a leader, heck, even put me in this group if I wasn't even worthy of being here right now? You judge too easily, that's your flaw."

"Guys, let's just calm down," Mitsuki said but something inside of me just snapped.

"Don't talk to me!" I yelled, causing him to give me a shocked expression. I was getting very mad and I wasn't even sure why. The voices in my head kept on telling me to fight back but I didn't want any conflicts right now. I could easily use my powers on them and gain an advantage by controlling them, but I know very well that in the end, it wouldn't work.

"You need to calm down now." I heard a familiar voice say and I sighed. I didn't want to see Sasuke here so soon. The least I saw him, the more I resisted the need to punch him in the face. He wasn't even the person I was most mad at but just knowing that he never really gave a damn about me is indicator enough.

"I see that you guys have met, I guess that now I can explain to you guys everything. I'll explain the real purpose behind this group, why we chose you, and what will happen now. But to start, I need to all to listen to me." Kakashi said and we all nodded. I had nothing personal against him. At least, nothing that I knew of.

"As Kakashi said, this team was created for a purpose. I already gave the newest member an overview of it but the rest of you are in the dark. To start, you guys were chosen because of your potential. Less and less shinobi are being seen and it's rare to see talents and minds like yours. We will need those for the obstacles we will face later on. Obstacles like the ones who caused the great mystery years ago...

Our generations of shinobi can still fight, but we don't know when this great threat will appear again. It may be in a couple of days, months, and even years, but no matter what we must be prepared for it. And that's when you come in. The future generation. You guys will train, kind of like what you guys have already started doing. You will go on missions, improve your abilities, and learn to work as a group for the benefit of the village.

The group will be lead by the newest member; Team Solo will be its name. Everything we discuss here can't be discussed anywhere else. It's best if the village doesn't know that we are preparing an elite force for something dangerous that may come. It would cause unnecessary panic. Any questions or comments anyone?"

Everyone remained silent for a while. However, of course, he had to speak up. "I respect you and your decisions Sasuke, you know that, right? But are you sure that having that guy on our team is a good idea? He's already acting hostile toward us and he's suddenly our leader but yet none of us even know about him or his abilities. Isn't it fair of us to question that?" He said and I scoffed.

I knew he had a point. And I'm sure Sasuke and Kakashi knew it too, but this was beyond that. If only I could just tell him that I want to the leader just as much as he wants me too but I can't and won't. I could less if he resents me or even hates me. Because every time I look at around at them I feel pain.

I just want to scream at them and tell them everything. I want them to apologize to me and admit that I was never really loved by anyone of them. I want to remind them that they used me and treated me like a fool. Sarada only wanted to gain credit by tracking me down to make herself look better. Sasuke only truly started to look for me when Sarada went missing as well. Shikadai never really forgave me and told me all that bullshit just so that we could go home. My sister secretly despised me and was ashamed to have a worthless rogue brother be associated with her name.

Why Why Why!

Why can't I just be alone for once? All I want is to be alone with my thoughts forever. I don't need a family or love from anyone. I don't want to be a part of this stupid group with people who have only caused me pain. And what sucks most is that they don't even know how much they are hurting me. Sarada welcomed me with a smile, the same smile she used to give me before I figured out that I WAS JUST BEING USED-

"SOL! Hey! I asked you a question." I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts. I could feel the blood running from my hands from how much I stabbed my nails into them, but I hid them before anyone could see them. 

I looked over and saw everyone's gaze on me. " What?" I said harshly at Shikadai.

"Fight me. The winner gets to be the leader. You in?" He said and I laughed. This was pathetic. Me and him in a fight, the winner is obvious now. However, a new plan suddenly came to mind.

Hey guys!! Here's the first one. The next one is going to be post 30 minutes later and the next one with be around the same. I hope that you guys enjoyed it!!
