Chapter 0 - Intro
"Your hate shall be the fuel to be stronger"
Konoha. Midnight. Three years later.
Two figures were standing atop a water rooftank, in the Hyuuga district. One was a blonde man holding a Jian (Chinese sword) with a purple piece of cloth hanging on the handle. The other one was a dark haired woman, with a Chokuto sword straped on her back.
Both were donned with dark blue fitting attires, and a black masks that covered half of their face and left the hair out.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Boruto-kun?" Sarada asked his partner.
"Hai." he answered. "There's no other choice."
"We didn't even tried to negotiate with them..."
"It would be useless." Boruto overlooked the Hyuuga compound. "They would not listen to us."
"It's your family we're talking about." she rested on hand on his shoulder
"I know" he touched her gloved hand with his.
They both stayed quiet, trying to enjoy the last moments of peace, before.
"Ikuso!" he whispered.
And then, they were gone.
(At the compound)
A member of the Hyuuga cadet branch was patrolling the roof area of the complex. He activated now and then his Byakugan to ensure nothing strange was happening here and in the immediate surroundings of the area.
Finding nothing in particular, he begun to walk back inside the building when, suddendly, the moonlight drastically dimmed down.
He lifted his gaze to the sky, noticing that indeed the moon was covered by a passing cloud.
"Hey." a feminine voice called him.
The guard turned his head only to meet two red eyes with spinning tomoes.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan."
The sentinel was frozen in his place for a moment, victim of a hypnotic jutsu. It only lasted for a few seconds as, then, a sword rammed through his body, killing him without any noticeable noise.
Boruto extracted the blade from the body, by simply kicking away the corpse while pulling back the Jian sword.
"Let's keep going."
(Kitchen area)
A woman was washing the dishes while a young girl was cleaning the counters.
"Finally, this is the last one, then we can go to..." The older one never finished the sentence as a blade penetrated her from behind.
"Uh? What the..." the younger turned to see what was happening. The last thing she saw was a pair of Byakugan eyes. Then a sword sliced her throat with a swift move.
The whole kitchen was covered in blood.
Boruto was holding his face, his eyes closed, as he was trying to not look at the slaughter he caused of two members of his clan and, at the same time, not crying from it.
"Sorry, Kirai, Maedi."
Sarada looked at him and tried to get him to move on.
"Come on. The sooner we finish this, the sooner it ends."
(Sleeping quarters)
Hyuuga Hiashi was peacefully sleeping, until he heard some strange noise. He woke up and activated his Byakugan, scanning the room for intruders, finding none.
He was going to look through the walls, but he heard someone knocking at the door. Deactivating his dojutsu, he got up to answer it.
The clan head was in the act of sliding the thin wooden bar open when, suddendly, a sword rammed through it, slicing like a spear his abdomen.
He fell backwards and was only capable of seeing a figure crashing from the ceiling with a blade pointing to him.
He tried to move away or dodge it but to no avail. His body was like paralyzed.
'Poison coating...' was his last thought.
Then the blade impaled his throat from above.
Two figures were now standing above the dead body of Hyuuga Hiashi.
"It was rather easy to kill him." Sarada murmured.
"That's teamwork for you." Boruto said. "Where are my mother and Himawari?"
"They aren't in their room. Maybe they went to the Hokage tower..."
He exited the room, followed by her.
They were now walking down the main hall of the compound. A bloody stench filled the air, as the whole building was littered with Hyuuga clansmen and clanwomen bodies.
Not even the children, the babies or the pets were spared.
"We'll wait them here." He simply stated.
(At the compound gates)
Hyuuga Hinata and her daughter Himawari were walking back to the complex, after spending the evening with Naruto at the Hokage tower.
It was a custom habit of them, after Boruto fled the village. In order to not delve in sadness and sorrow, they decided to spend more time together, as a family, waiting for Boruto's return or retrieval.
Hinata was opening the gates when she noticed something strange in the air. The whole place emanated a death aura.
She shielded her daughter behind her, then proceeded to carefully enter the compound.
The garden was disturbingly quiet. Not even the insects made a noise.
They entered the main hall and the horror filled their eyes and hearts.
There were corpses everywhere and a small river of blood was trailing around the area.
"Mother."
Two figures walked out of the shadows.
Hinata went wide eyes. It was his son.
"Boruto!?" she cried "What happen..." she was interrupted the same moment she glanced over Sarada.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
Hinata was paralyzed. It would've lasted few seconds, as she was an incredibly skilled kunoichi, capable of dispelling the hypnosis of the Sharingan.
However, they were enough for Boruto to take a kunai and throw it to her mother, hitting her right in the throat. Blood spilled everywhere from the deadly wound, even on Himawari.
"MOM!" she cried, covered in her blood. It was like a nightmare.
Hinata fell to the ground, lifeless, and her daughter was again paralyzed from the fear and the shock of what just happened.
"Himawari-chan." He called her, and she looked at him.
"W-why would you do that, nii-san! WHY!? WHY!?" she shouted at him, tears flowing from her eyes, then she suddendly ran at him, with a kunai in her hand, crying like mad.
He watched her younger sister trying to attack, only for him to grab her arm, spin it and throw her to the ground.
Both Boruto and Sarada were now looking at Himawari, the bodies of many Hyuuga at their feet
"There is no value in killing the likes of you…" he told her. "My foolish sister… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me." He activated his Byakugan while Sarada activated her Sharingan. The Uchiha looked at her, casting an allucination Genjutsu on Himawari.
The Hyuuga girl would witness all her Clan massacre again and again for 72 hours.
"NYAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" A female scream filled the air of Konoha.
(Two hours later, in the forest)
"Boruto-kun..." she glanced at him. "...asking if you are okay would be an insult..." she embraced him from behind.
"I'm fine Sarada-chan. I'm glad it's over. We had to do it. There was no other option. It was necessary."
She rested her head on his back. "I'm sorry we had to do it..."
"I know Sarada-chan." He moved away from her. "Let's get going, before my father and the whole Shinobi Alliance jump on us."
They prepared to run again.
"Let's go then, Boruto-kun. My father is waiting for us."
And with that, they were gone.
Again.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Welcome to the sequel of "Under this blue sky". I hope you liked this short intro chapter. Yes I know, some of you are already raging about Boruto and Sarada killing Hinata and the whole Hyuuga clan, but you'll have to keep reading to understand their motives.
Also, don't worry. There will also be fluffy moments between Sarada and Boruto, but also dramatic ones. I'll try to develop in a decent way the character of Himawari, as we currently (May 2015) don't have enough info on her.
Oh, by the way.
I bet many of you will recognize the words Boruto told to Himawari (easter egg - sneak peak for the future chapters eheh...).
Stay tuned!
