Broken Pieces (Naruto and Boruto Reader Insert)

Chapter 45

The next day, at the rising you heard shouts, people moving. Seating up on the branch, you rubbed your eyes, then once you felt you were awake, you jumped down. But you were surprised to still see Momoshiki asleep, he wasn't where he was last night when you fell asleep. He was at the base of the tree trunk, on the very same tree you were sleeping. 

Contemplating whether to wake him or not, you unconsciously stared at his eating face. All the coldness and hatred for humans wasn't there, just calm and at peace. 

But, he wasn't sleeping, he snapped his eyes open and stared back at you. "You should go," you told him, not because you were worried for him, but because the was another problem that you didn't want your friends to deal with. 

Momoshiki was a strong opponent, and he could have wrecked havoc and killed as many Shinobi/Kunoichi as he wanted while you were asleep. It wasn't his mission, his mission was something that was related to you. He was waiting, just waiting to finish his mission. "What's your mission?" You didn't ask last night, but now you felt the need to ask him.  As expected, he wasn't about to reveal it.

Sending him a last glance, you began to walk back to the camp.  As your feet took you back, your hand trailed to your chest, your heart was beating but there was a feeling of emptiness. Last night didn't help you as you thought it would, or maybe it was what Sarada said. 

Shaking your head, you hardened your gaze as you entered the camp. A large batch of Shinobi/Kunoichi were starting to move, obviously being dispatched to fight someone or something. 

You stopped to watch them, but as you did so, Sasuke, Itachi and Kabuto watched you with concern. A smile, you tried to smile but didn't even have the heart to offer a fake smile. Instead, you continued to walk towards the group who were about to move out. 

But Kabuto followed you, the way he hurried capture the attention of more of your friends. That sure caught their attention, you looked tired, exhausted something that they had never seen in you before. "[Name]," Kabuto called out to you, once he caught up be grasped your elbow and finally managed to stop you. "You can't stay here, let alone go into battle." 

Minato, Jiraiya, Tobimara, Hashimara and  Hiruzen joined them too. "I already made a choice, I'm not going back."

"You can die, you're going to only out your body at risk. We need to go back and se-" In a desperate attempt to help you, he tried again. 

It was endearing how worried he was, he was so persistent in trying to save you. His hold on his tightened on your elbow, your hand reached towards this hand and you allowed it to rest on top of his. Your gaze on your hand for a few seconds until you pealed away his hand and let it fall at his side. 

"Die?" It settled  into he minds of everyone else, Neji, Kakashi, Kiba, all of them and they looked as equally as concerned. 

Kabuto didn't want to alarm them, not at times like this but he needed them to convince them. "Blood was injected directly into her bloodstream, that's why she's alive. She may look fine but that is extremely dangerous, she need to return to the Hidden Leaf Village."

Sarada stood at her team's side, her eyes trailing from you to her father. Whatever happened between the two of them must have had a huge effect on her. Her gaze looked saddened as he looked at him, but it changed when it landed on you. 

Letting out a.long breath, you shook your head. "I already told you, I'm not going back." Having enough with the drama, you joined the rest of Shinobi /Kunoichi. Since these teams had their own leaders, they didn't have to wait for anyone else and began to move. 

It was a short journey, just a few hours away from the camp. You didn't understand why Ayato was attacking with no plan in mind, his attacks were just so random. Either way, the enemy consisted of about three hundred people, children, men, women. One look at their eyes and you noticed that they were far gone, too late to be saved.
