So, I don't know why I'm doing this. It's pretty stupid of me, but fuck it; why not?
As you can tell from the title, this will be a Boruto jinchūriki fic. Why? Simply because I wanted to. Couldn't find any other ones, so I'm doing one myself. If you do know any Boruto jinchūriki fics, please tell me. I'm looking for reading material.
Read, and hopefully, you'll enjoy!
P.S: This takes place during Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (Boruto episode: 20). Specifically, the moment Naruto leaves the village with Chocho & Sarada.
Boruto was currently hiding in the trees while he waited patiently; watching the guards who were on duty.
This was gonna be the biggest, greatest prank he could ever pull. He was gonna show his old man just how good he was. Hell, he could actually get arrested for this stunt. Boruto slipped past the guards as they changed shifts, talking as they left for their lunch break. Without a sound, he opened the door, entered and softly closed the door with a small click. He was in.
'Woooah... It's bigger than I thought...' Boruto thought, looking upon the giant shelves of scrolls upon scrolls in a mess; as if a hurricane had arrived before him. They were everywhere, all over the floor, opened all over the few tables in the room, even hanging from a few higher shelves.
But what caught Boruto's eyes the most, was the crystal ball; on a pedestal at the back of the room. It seemed to be a swirling mass of something (he guessed it was chakra, but couldn't really tell) within the crystal. He picked it up from its pedestal, sat on a table and watched it weave a story. First, it showed his father and Aunt Sakura ambushed while they were at a park, being absorbed in a flash of light. Another person, who had trapped them, was watching the crystal ball just as Boruto was. It switched scenes to Naruto & Sakura still in the park, but no signs of the guy who had attacked them.
They met Sasuke (Boruto noted the fact that it seemed strange to them to see Sasuke) and eventually they were enjoying themselves in their new place. Sakura didn't have parents but the village seemed to love her because her father had been... Hokage? Boruto was given a visual of Sakura's father whose head was on the Hokage rock. Meanwhile, Naruto was looking for his apartment, only to find out he didn't live there anymore. Boruto was surprised to see his father wanted nothing to do with his family. Boruto would have thought that someone who had been lonely for so long would want the love of a parent, but he seemed adamant about getting back to the 'real world'.
They began meeting up with the rest of their friends who all seemed way too different. Lee was a pervert, Hinata was pretty much ready to wipe your ass across the floor with you if you so much as dared to look at Naruto (or Menma as he was called now) and Choji... Hated eating... Something that Boruto couldn't seem to get his head round.
Soon enough, they met granny Tsunade (who was flat as a board) & Shizune (who had a very large chest... Weird) who told them about the masked man who was attacking Kumogakure & had killed their jinchuuriki. Boruto remembered the word but couldn't associate it with anything he knew. He understood it had something to do with beasts with numbered tails? Finally, Naruto's parents show up after completing a mission. Boruto marvelled just as Naruto did; his grandma was beautiful; in a nice way. She had silky-looking crimson hair that just flowed.
Naruto somehow earned a punch to the head from Kushina while Minato and Tsunade talked over their next mission. A man named Jiraiya (Boruto remembered that this was his father's teacher; Naruto had told many stories about him) had died while retrieving a Scroll called 'Book Of The Crimson Moon'. Apparently, Jiraiya had heard of a prophecy from a frog on a mountain that the scroll was crucial in defeating the masked man. Since the prophecies always come true, he had risked everything to attain the scroll but the injuries he received had cost him his life.
Boruto notes that Sakura is enjoying herself. She didn't seem to have any qualms about being on her own or the genjutsu having an effect on her. Meanwhile, Boruto couldn't help but notice that Naruto sincerely didn't want anything to do with his parents. But that would all change on the day of the mission. It seemed that Jiraiya had placed a trap on the Red Moon Scroll that Naruto set off. He had been too eager to get the scroll he had completely forgotten that certain safeguards would be in place so that the Scroll never fell into the wrong hands. Naruto ended up calling upon an army of toads to attack. Naruto was attacked by a shot of acid; yet Kushina interfered, saving her son but harming herself. As Minato takes them away, he states that they will always protect him; because that is what a parent must do.
Boruto pondered on Minato's words. He wondered whether or not his own Father would save him from danger. After all, it's not as if he showed any care towards them anyways.
Realising that he had looked away from the Crystal, he turned back to it to see Naruto fighting... Himself? Some guy that looked exactly like Naruto (with the exception of the black hair) was fighting his father. Multiple attacks would either be countered or in one case completely overtaken by another technique. Just as his father seemed to lose the battle, he was brought into some cavern with iron bars separating him from... A monster.
That was all Boruto could describe it as. IT looked terrifying and to think that his father was chatting with it casually spoke volumes about the bravery he seemed to have. After a few sentences spoken between the two, Naruto unlocked the gate between them and seemed to accept it. Both the monster and his Father didn't seem too happy about having to work together, so boruto assumed they had agreed on a temporary truce.
Back in the battle, it was two monsters against each other. They seemed to be firing massive balls of chakra at each other; while running around to not get hit by either of each other's balls. Boruto didn't realise it before, but he could feel himself cheering his dad on. He blushed slightly and calmed himself as his father barely seemed to win. But it was a trap. The masked man seemed to take over the body of Menma and began to attack Naruto once more. Unfortunately, Naruto was overwhelmed and Boruto's heart sank at the thought of him losing. Sakura managed to save him before the Beast is taken away from him.
Naruto looks at the destroyed red moon scroll and began to remember his training with Jiraiya as well as his father who owned the technique. Getting up, (Boruto gains a giddy feeling from this and doesn't realise that he's smiling) He attacks and finally defeats the masked man in the same way that his own father once did. Boruto pumps a fist in the air at seeing his dad's victory; this time not caring as much about it.
The genjutsu begins to fall away; as if the world around them was falling to pieces. Naruto thanked his parents for looking after him, but he was ignored as they went after their real son. With a bright flash of light, they disappeared.
Boruto continued to stare at the orb, even after nothing was being shown. He expected something else but received nothing. Just as he was about to put it away, the swirling chakra formed words.
"That was His story..." He read before the words changed form again. "What shall yours be?"
"Hey, kid! The hell are you doing in here?!" Someone shouted. Boruto turned to see a Jonin coming towards him; kunai in hand. "Get over here right now! No funny movements!"
"No, it's me! Boruto! Y'know, son of the Hokage?" Boruto answered back, getting up going over. The Jonin was cautious; he didn't seem to be buying it for some reason.
"Put down the ball, kid. Nobody has to get hurt."
"Sure."
Boruto did just that and something happened. The chakra in glass ball began reacting violently and swirling more; a bright light glowing and begin to suck Boruto in. Boruto saw the world around him fall away and turn to white.
"What the-?! Kid, the hell is this?" The Jonin screamed but Boruto was gone. As quickly as the white light had come; it left. The jonin was left with the ball of chakra on the floor.
.o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Boruto was back in his room. On his bed to be precise.
Except it wasn't really his room. He could tell from the way it looked. He had customised every part of his room to make it as unique as possible. The bed was in the wrong place, his photos and posters were gone, his computer was gone... Pretty much everything he had was gone.
Climbing out of bed, he walked out of the room and downstairs but no one was there. It was barely furnished, which was a surprise; seeing that his mum had definitely furnished the place.
"Mum? You here?" Boruto called out but received a totally different response. Three Anbu suddenly surrounded him and he had three swords on his neck. Boruto stiffened immediately; shocked by the attack.
"Who are you kid?" The one with the dog mask gruffly said. Boruto raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Who do I damn look like? I'm the Boruto Uzumaki, the Hokage's son! You of all people should know that!"
The three looked at each other before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Boruto asked.
"The Hokage never had a son."
Boruto gulped as he realised exactly what he looked like to them. An intruder who had snuck into the Hokage's house without even the Anbu knowing. But that was impossible. Of course he was the Hokage's son!
"But I gotta say, you got his whisker marks and his look. Who would've thought that the Hokage had a bastard child?"
Boruto fumed. It was one thing to make fun of his dad, but to think he would ever be a dead-beat, made him mad. He may not be a good father, but he was still his father.
"Don't talk about my dad like that, asshole," Boruto said, making the Anbu look towards him once more.
"Or what, kid? You gonna do something? How about you start by bringing home your father?" The Anbu sneered, pressing the sword against him. "Or does he even know you exist?"
Boruto's figure turned into a log as he escaped from their grasp. The Anbu quickly got back into shape; searching for him.
"Fuck! Where did he go?!"
The answer hit him in the face. He was pushed back but refused to fall over. The other two quickly filled in for him; slicing through boruto's body. It 'poofed' and turned to smoke.
"Fucking shadow clone?!"
Boruto was gone from the house. He jumped from rooftop to rooftop, quickly making distance. Unfortunately, he wasn't exactly looking where he was going and crashed into someone.
"Oof!" coughed the person, in green spandex. Boruto got up quickly, looking at the person to see...
It was Rock Lee. But the problem was that he was having a nosebleed as well as was covered in women's underwear. Boruo gave a disgusted look and carried on, leaving the man to himself. Especially after seeing a fuming Tenten coming after him. He would rather not get involved with him.
"You son of a bitch! Stop stealing my underwear!"
"I wasn't! Someone gave this to me!"
Boruto dropped to the street below. He had to find his dad. Or at least a shadow clone. But everywhere he looked, there seemed to be none. Usually, they were somewhere doing something to help the community. But as he looked around, he couldn't see anyone that resembled his dad. He decided that the only other place he would be was the Hokage Tower. Climbing to the rooftop, he quickly saw the large tower and made his way too it.
"Hey, kid! Stop right there!"
Looking back, Boruto saw Anbu making there way towards him. He quickly threw three shuriken, which they all sliced through with their tantō. Creating three shadow clones, he threw lightning-imbued shuriken which successfully kept them at bay. Using the distraction he scurried off to the Hokage Tower.
Menma Uzumaki was finally Hokage. A lifelong dream that he had finally accomplished; but he could never have gotten here without the help of his friends & family.
"And me." A voice called out within Menma's mind, which cause him to chuckle slightly. Yes, even Kurama had helped somewhat.
Looking to one wall he saw all the Hokages that had been before him. They would be proud to see him carry on the title. To the other wall was his friends that had died fighting for him. Standing and touching one of the pictures, he couldn't help but reminisce.
"Hinata..." He whispered, remembering how she had so confidently taken a sure kill hit for him. Even as she was dying, she was smiling like nothing had ever happened...
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he went back to his seat and began his task for the day. Signing papers. As boring as it got, it had been part of the job description and he, unfortunately, could not do without it. Looking back at his schedule, he remembered that he indeed had a meeting with one of the Fire Lords and still had to attend a school's play about the 4th Great Ninja War.
"Aint no way any genins are gonna actually be as badass as the real Madara."
"Agreed, Kurama. Nobody tops him..."
"Except me."
"You really need to stop stroking that already over-inflated Ego of yours."
"Sorry, for telling the Truth."
"Stop mixing imagination & reality up. You're only kidding yourself."
"Haaah?! I'm THE 9-tailed Fox. I had Konohagakure licking my ass!"
"Yeah, in MY body!"
"Hey, that argument is weak as fuck. I needed a vessel and you're the best offer."
"Glad to know that."
"Now it's you kidding yourself. Also, look out."
"What?"
The answer came when somebody crashed through the window of his office. He immediately got out of his chair and was ready to attack whatever had arrived abruptly. The person had crashed into a number of boxes filled with paper needing to be signed. Menma scanned the paper and came across a ruffling part of it. Walking over to it, he warily watched it ruffle before a head of blonde hair and a face popped up. Menma was in shock as he looked at how closely the face resembled his own. Hell, the kid even had whiskers?
"Dad! You gotta help me! The Anbu have gone nuts! They attacked me!"
If Menma hadn't been surprised before, he was now. Dad? He was still being berated for being a virgin by Sasuke and now he had a son?!
"Sorry kid, whose your mother again?"
Boruto gave a confused look, a shrug before answering: "Hinata-kaasan. Who else?"
Menma fell over in shock. Boruto tilted his head in growing confusion.
"Well... Shit." Kurama murmured, enjoying the scene before him.
"Okay, kid... I got one more question for you..." Menma said, standing back up again. "What's my name?"
"Naruto. Everyone knows you're Naruto!" Boruto answered immediately, watching Menma fall over again comically.
For Menma, he understood what had happened. Just as a man called Naruto had once appeared out of the blue, the son of his lookalike had also arrived in this world; somehow or the other. Of course, that would explain why the Anbu were currently looking for said boy. In fact, here they were now.
The Anbu arrived in his office without a sound; only leaves marking their presence. Boruto gulped in fear.
"Sorry, sir. We'll take care of the kid."
Menma held out a hand to stop them.
"Leave him with me. I'll handle him."
"But, Hokage-sama..." One interjected, but Menma gave them a look that immediately caused them to back down again.
"I'll deal with him. Leave, now."
The Anbu looked towards each other before nodding.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
They leapt back through the broken window, disappearing from sight. Menma breathed a sigh of relief as he turned back to the boy.
"Well, they're gone kid. You can come out now." Menma said, prompting Boruto to get himself out of the piles of paper. With a small struggle, he did.
"Hey, dad, didn't you-"
"Sorry to disappoint you kid, but I'm not your dad."
Boruto was visibly shocked by what he heard.
"But then, who...?" Boruto started, but his eyes widened as he began to understand. Why Tenten had been chasing a perverted Lee; why the Anbu didn't know who he was.
"I'm Menma Uzumaki. Not Naruto. I don't know who you are, kid, but you're definitely not my son."
Yay, I'm done. Writer's Block is a serious bitch, I swear. I've been wanting to do this for a loooooong time, but just couldn't be bothered. Sorry about that. I'll be getting to my other stories soon enough, since I'm on holiday anyways.
See ya! Don't forget to review!
