A/N: I watched Wolf Children yesterday and it is inspired me to write an oneshot collection about Boruto and Himawari – they are fox children after all, thanks to Kurama.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Then the knight in shining armour saved the princess and they lived happily ever after," the sensei said, closing the book. One of the 5 years olds rose his hand up. "What is it, Ryo-kun?"
"Sensei, this book is stupid! Knights don't even exists in our world. There are ninjas!"
Uzumaki Himawari looked up to the sky. She was aware of the existence of the ninjas. Her father was the Hokage after all, but what about those who weren't ninjas? Could they become knights if they want to?
"Ne, Tou-chan! Can I put your headbelt on for a minute?" She heared her big brothers' voice when she arrived home with her aunt Hanabi by her side.
"Not yet, son. You need to wait for a year," Naruto said.
"But why?!"
"Because just gradueted ninjas are allowed to wear it and you are not one of them right now." Naruto felt guilt when he saw the disappointed look on his sons' face. It reminded him of his own face from that faithful night when his ninja life had started.
Himawari let go of Hanabi's hand and ran to his brother's side.
"So, are you not a ninja yet, onii-chan?" she asked. Boruto scowled as an answer. Himawari looked down to the ground, playing with her index fingers. Naruto couldn't help, but chuckled.
"What?" he asked his little sister, trying not to sound too pissed off.
"W-will you be my knight, please?" She asked so quit that Boruto almost did not understand it. "In my opinion, they are much more cooler than ninjas!"
He blinked twice, then ruffled her hair.
"'Kay, but just for a year."
Himawari smiled up at him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, onii-chan. I love you!"
