Boruto sighed and waited at the gates. He knew the man was coming but he was slow as hell! No wonder why his dad came home late. They Must be cracking their bones just to get over. His uncle hadn't been home in years, in fact, Boruto only ever saw him once, and that was when he snuck out of the village and got ambushed. His uncle came out of nowhere, scolded him, and sent him back to the village. He had overheard, just a few days ago, that he was coming at this exact hour and day...or should he almost say morning? It was about 11pm at night. The village was less than lively at this time. Everybody is usually in their homes having dinner or socializing with their families...

Where is Boruto going to go? Of course he loved his mom, but he really wanted his dad. He really, REALLY, wanted his dad. He hadn't been home on time in weeks! He was honestly getting pretty damn worried about him.

Boruto looked up and sighed. He made a 'tsk' and hopped off of the log he sat on. He turned his backs to the gate and started walking away. He suddenly stopped when he felt eyes on him. He slowly turned his head to the left and peered over his shoulder to see nothing. He sighed and pouted as he turned to face the front- blood red eyes looked at him. Boruto jumped and fell on his back.

"What are you doing?"

"Y-You're late!"

"Hn...aren't you supposed to be with the hokage, little sister and your mother?"

"Ha! Dad hasn't came home in weeks uncle!"

"Don't call me uncle," the man scoffed. Boruto smirked, "then should I call you 'Daddy'?" The man narrowed his eyes. "You're so close with my father, that's all he talks about, and it's almost like he had no life the way he talks about you!" The man began to move towArd the hokage tower. Boruto caught up to him. "You don't talk much? Well, this is your first day since the war, back. Shouldn't you go visit your family? I mean, it's the right thing right?" The man said nothing and continued to walk. Boruto pouted,

They arrived at the door. They walked in and came upstairs to another door. The Hokages office. The man placed his hand on the knob. Once he opened the door. Boruto's eyes widened. There, he saw his father sleeping on the desk. His eyes shut peacefully. Paperwork everywhere scattered. His blonde hair flowing because the window was open. His face was filled with tiredness and exhaustion. Boruto's eyes widened. He had never seen his father like this.

The raven haired man walked toward the desk. He placed one hand on Naruto's head. Boruto snickered and looked away. "Go ahead, kiss him, I won't tell my mom." The raven frowned and Boruto laughed, "I'm kidding! Can't you take a joke? I guess not...you haven't been around civilization that long." The raven shook Naruto gently.

"Dobe."

Naruto's eyes slowly lifted, he sleepily sat up and yawned. "Sasuke." Sasuke nodded.

"Dad!"

Naruto looked up at his son and smiled. "Ah! Boruto, what are you doing up this late?" Boruto raised an eyebrow, "this isn't really late dad, you've been going to sleep earlier and earlier, just what do you do in a day?" Naruto shrugged and smiled cheeky. He still looked beyond tired. Sasuke walked and looked out the window. Naruto tiredly spoke, "Sasuke...shouldn't you go see Sarada and Sakura?" Sasuke was silent. Boruto sighed, "go and see them, meanwhile I'll take my dad home!" Sasuke sighed. "I guess I'll see you in the morning." Naruto nodded, "it's good to see you Sasuke."

Sasuke appeared right in front of his 'home'. He opened the door and walked through. There was nobody in the kitchen nor the living room. He walked himself upstairs to see a door cracked open to show Sakura looking at a jounin guide book, while Sarada was reading a bunch of scrolls. Sasuke sighed as he watched his daughter from afar.

Sarada had a strange feeling that someone was watching her. Her eyes widened when she felt a similar chakra to hers. She turned his head happily toward the door, "dad!?" Sakura was stunned to hear her say that and looked at her. Sarada was disappointed when she didn't see anyone, and that familiar sense disappeared.

It was early in the morning and everyone was freaked out. No one had seen the hokage since yesterday. Naruto was missing and people were getting worried about his mysterious disappearing behavior. It wasn't the first time this had happened. Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Choji, and Sakura were all in his office. People were set up at the gates to make sure Naruto came back, in which he always did. But today was different. Naruto never told anybody where he went, all he says is that he goes on a little walk. But it was more than suspicious. Naruto always came back tired, stayed out late, went on missions despite his exhaustion, and normally ended up in the hospital and would leave before he is ever treated. This had been going on for nearly three whole months. It's time to put this ridiculousness to an end.

The door to the Hokahe room opened but the people were a little disappointed to see Sasuke instead of Naruto. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "where is Naruto?" Choji shrugged, "we don't know." Shikamaru sighed, "he had been disappearing like this for three months now. What a drag..." Sasuke frowned. He looked to his side at the pink haired woman staring at him in shock. He had not realized Sakura was standing there. Sakura took a step toward him. "S-Sasuke...y-your back?" Sasuke nodded. There was a bit of tension between them. "Why didn't you come home? Sarada hadn't seen you since she was born...and I hadn't seen you since the end of the war..."

"I had some things to do."

The door suddenly opened cutting off the awkward silence between the two. Naruto's blonde hair swayed and he closed the door behind him without turned around. As soon as he did turn around he was shocked to see everyone in the room.

"G-guys? What are you doing here?"

"Where were you Naruto? It's time you started talking."

"I went out for a walk...like I do every morning."

"We don't believe that! Where have you REALLY been? We cant risk our hokage in danger!"

Naruto was taken aback. Everybody in the room stared at him with intensity except Sasuke who was looking slightly away. Naruto had nothing to say. He couldn't say anything. His head suddenly felt dizzy. He placed a hand on his head. Choji and Shikamaru frowned, "well are you going to answer?" Shikamaru asked. Choji looked worried, "you need to tell us what you are doing." Tsunade stepped forward. "What have you been doing Naruto?" Kakashi looked at him worriedly.

His head started to hurt and his eyes blurred up. Kakashi and Sasuke quickly noticed before anyone else. Before Naruto dropped to the ground, Kakashi yelled out, "Sasuke!"

Sasuke caught the hokage into his arms. Everybody in the room was shocked.

"Naruto!" They yelled out simultaneously. Sasuke lifted the rest of him up in his arms. "Sasuke where are you going with-," Sasuke and Naruto disappeared in a blur. Tsunade frowned, "that damn Uchiha!" Kakashi stepped out in front of them. "It's not Sasukes fault in the fact that he wanted to take Naruto away from stress. Naruto seems to have a secret and we need to figure it out, whether he tells us or not." Tsunade frowned, "it does seem strange that Naruto always comes back with a less of chakra. He always seems tired and fatigued. Something is wrong."

Meanwhile the others were talking, Sakura couldn't wrap the fact that Sasuke barely said a word to her, and wouldn't come home to see his daughter. It was a blow to the head. Sakura had to make Sasuke meet his daughter, no matter the cost!

Tsunade frowned, "what should we do?" Kakashi concluded? "It's official, we are going to spy on the Hokage."
