I DON'T OWN NARUTO.
Hi guys. For those who have follow my other story called (What it truly means) this is the replacement. (Note: English is not my primary language. So I apologized for the grammatical errors that you would see)
(I don`t know much about Naruto so I would really appreciate it if you guys could point out the mistakes you will see in this.)
Some civilian would often wonder, what it`s like inside the giant, red building at the foot of the hokage monument. Clearly they would think it`s hallways are filled with highly trained shinobis, always ready, and highly alert. They are right, the hallways of the hokage`s building is as they expected it to be. Rooms and corridors with stationed shinobis at every corner. The only problem is that they forgot to add one particular shinobi.
Being a shinobi is tiresome work, going on dangerous and mundane missions, doing chores if you're still a kid. And honing your skills to become even better. And the only son of the Seventh Hokage is definitely telling everyone just that.
"Oi this isn't the place to sleep you know, Boruto." Leaning on a wall besides the Hokage`s office, Boruto Uzumaki groggily opens his eyes, before staring at the grinning Shikamaru. "I know… but can you guys wake me up when Konohamaru sensei is done with his talk with the old man?" He replied while stifling a loud yawn.
The head of the Nara clan could only look at the blonde with a raised brow as he scratches the back of his head. "Boruto… they left 30 minutes ago." He said with small chuckle, waiting for the blonde to process what he just said.
Boruto blink a few times, letting his father`s lazy advisor`s words sink in. with a scowl in his face, he push himself off the wall before walking towards the exit of the building.
Meanwhile at the gates of the village, three shinobis are waiting patiently for their last remaining member of team 7. "Konohamaru sensei, do you think it`s alright leaving Boruto like that?" The only Jonin of the team look at the only female member with an amuse look. "Oh? Suddenly caring for him I see." Konohamaru wiggle his brow at the raven haired girl who immediately flush at her sensei`s words.
Frantically shaking her head, the Uchiha heiress steps back denying whatever nonsense her sensei had just said. "It's not like that; it's just that if we have woken him up earlier, we could have been on our way right now." She defended, hiding her embarrass face. Konohamaru of course shakes his head in amusement.
Ever since the blonde took his training seriously and declaring that he would be by her side when the time comes of her being hokage, she couldn't help but notice and respected him more. Of course putting her attention on her blonde teammate, she couldn't help but start to nurture a tiny crush on him. Unbeknownst to the two, a pair of gold eyes watches their interactions.
Mitsuki the owner of the golden eyes couldn't help but frown slightly as he watch his raven haired teammate get flustered whenever she and the blonde are put in the same sentence together. Replacing his frown with a smile that he deemed 'Genuine' enough, Mitsuki smile at the raven haired girl when her line of sight was now directed towards him. "Mitsuki, don`t listen what sensei is saying, he`s gone crazy again!" Mitsuki of course stops listening to them when he heard her and Boruto`s name together.
So not knowing what they were talking about, he just nod at her hoping that she wouldn't find out that he wasn't listening to her. "Since when is he isn't?" Mitsuki said directing his smile towards their sensei who`s glare was directed towards the both of them. "Oi! I am your sensei. Show some respect Kore!" Konohamaru said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Pulling ranks now, Sensei?" The two pale genin said at the same time with a flat tone of voice. Mitsuki gives out a soft laugh as he watches their sensei gets worked up over their playful banters. Deep inside, he knows that it wasn't the childish behavior of their sensei that brings genuine happiness to him, no it was the fact that his raven haired kunoichi`s smile.
He couldn't understand why the very simple thing she does like laughing happily sends his heart into an erratic rhythm. He tried to understand why this happened but alas he still couldn't comprehend the reason behind his heart`s weird behavior.
Konohamaru smile nonetheless at his students even if he was their target. He couldn't help but laugh along with the Uchiha. If he was in the past and someone told him the girl in front of him was the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha he would burst out laughing in their face and say they were mental but if they said she was the daughter of Sakura Uchiha nee Haruno, he would believe it. His laughing seize when he looks towards the other member of team 7.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for the golden eyed boy, as he realized that he might not know the meaning and signs of being in love. He of course being their sensei who observes and cared for them like they are his own family, started to notice the yearning look Mitsuki gives towards the only female member of the team ever since the said female member slowly started to gravitate towards the blonde.
"What the heck, guys! It wouldn't kill you to wake me up ttebase!" The three turn their heads towards the direction of the sound. "But you look rather tired, dobe." Sarada said with a smirk. "And besides you look rather peaceful when you're asleep." Blushing furiously after realizing what she had just said. "Err… I mean it's peaceful when you're asleep…" She said avoiding the blonde`s gaze.
Mitsuki frowns as he watches her interaction with the blonde. "Why does it feel like something sharp is pricking my chest?" He thought, unknowingly glaring at the blond. Konohamaru noticing, Mitsuki`s reaction decided to cut off the two conversation. "Alright now that Boruto is here we should head on out!" Earning the attention of the three genin.
The three genin nod their head before walking ahead towards the vast shinobi world. Konohamaru walks behind his students before sighing in relief. Not that he was siding with anyone love life, he just doesn't want them to lose focus on the task at hand that might lead to them being seriously injured or worse killed in action. "I' am just going to let them sort it out on their own time." He said to himself.
"Say… Konohamaru sensei." Boruto said earning the attention of the only jonin. "What did you and the old man talk about after we got our mission?" Boruto asks as he looks over his shoulder. Shaking his head, Konohamaru assured Boruto that it was nothing.
