This is my brand new story called Light of a Bolt. It follows the shinobi of Konoha, old and new as they advance in a changing world. The story centers on Bolt, Sarada, their families and friends, and original characters and villains. This will updated at least weekly, alongside my other story A New Master. Read and Review, and tell me if you like this story.

Chapter #1: A New Generation

Main Characters:

Boruto "Bolt" Uzumaki: The son of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, and the Byakugan Princess, Hinata Hyuga. He is a cocky, mischievous, yet intelligent young shinobi who just wants to get his father's attention, who he rarely sees, because of his position of leader. He is a popular child, surrounded by friends and family, the reverse of his father. He is a Wind Release user, and a powerful shinobi, being related to two of the great families descended from the Sage of the Six Paths' family. He has a great relationship with his parents, his younger sister Himawari, who he defends vigorously, his Shino-sensei, who regards him as one of his great students, his mentor, Konohamaru, who reminds him of himself and Naruto, and is also strongly bonded with his teammates, Hiro Hyuga, his cousin and rival, and Sarada Uchiha, for whom he has romantic feelings for.

Sarada Uchiha: The daughter of the former international criminal and great shinobi of Konoha, Sasuke Uchiha, and the student of the Fifth Hokage, Sakura Haruno. She is extremely intelligent, rivaling the geniuses of the Nara Clan and her own father. She finds Bolt annoying, but relates to him as she rarely sees her father, who is always on missions, and secretly harbors feelings for him. She is an adept Fire Release user and user of the Sharingan, the visual technique of the Uchiha clan. She has a strong bond with Bolt's sister, Himawari, who looks up to her. She hates Kibi Inuzuka, who hates her because of her parentage.

Hiro Hyuga: Bolt's cousin and member of the Hyuga clan. He is a member of Team Konohamaru, alongside his cousin and Sarada. He is quite a serious person, which put her at odds with Bolt. He is poised to take over from Hanabi Hyuga, his aunt, if she dies without marrying. He is a taijutsu master, and a master of the Gentle Fist style of fighting. He has Asperger's Syndrome and is somewhat anti-social and finds it hard to make friends. He has been compared to Neji by his aunts Hanabi and Hinata.

Konohamaru Sarutobi: A young jonin and a close friend of Naruto since their childhood. He is the sensei of Bolt, Sarada, and Hiro. He is a expert in Fire and Wind Releases, as well as Yang Release. He is also implied to have a relationship with Hanabi and is her bodyguard when she leaves the village, per orders of her brother in-law.

(Inside Konohagakure, The Village Hidden In the Leaves)

Inside a bedroom, a young blonde boy with blue eyes and two whiskers on each side of his head, stirred out of his bedroom, into the morning light. He changed into a white shirt, a black tracksuit and sandals. He retrieved his metal lightning bolt necklace from his bed and clapped his hands. He said to himself "Today, I, Boruto Uzumaki, will become a ninja!"

The Byakugan Princess, Hinata Hyuga, eagerly awaited for her son to arrive. He knew today he would graduate and become a ninja, and his father would celebrate with him, which she knew was all he really wanted. She heard his feet going down the steps at the speed of a cheetah. She smiled, he is called Bolt for a reason. Her beautiful white eyes met the deep blue of her son's.

"Mom, I graduate today!" he told her with excitement in his heart and a smile on his face. But then his face grew sad as he said "Then maybe Dad will spend time with me." She instantly grew as sad as her son, and noticed a tear in his eye. But she smiled.

"Boruto, I made your favorite." As soon as she said that, her soon grew a smile on her face. He hugged her and dived straight into his favorite dish, Pork Ramen. He ate with ease and brought the bowl over to the sink. He began to make for the door, but his mother stopped him.

"Boruto, before you leave, I think there is someone else who wants to say goodbye." Bolt smiled and turned around to meet the hug of a small girl in a pink version of his tracksuit. She looked up and her blue eyes met Bolt's own. He then hugged his sister back. "Goodbye, Himawari." He went outside, waved goodbye to his mother and sister, and headed for the Academy. There were a few friends he wanted to meet before the graduation ceremony.

On that same journey, a young raven-haired girl with red glasses walked merrily from her home. She had doubts she would pass the test, but if that dumbass Bolt could graduate, she was assured she could. Sarada then thought of him, and then dismissed the thought from her mind. She didn't want to have feelings for him, she really didn't, but in their families, it turns out the first person of the opposite sex you have a bond with, you fall in love with. And for her, it was Bolt.

She knew their mothers or Bolt's father wouldn't mind, but her father certainly would. She didn't know how, even though Naruto and Sasuke were the godfathers of the other's children, Sasuke would attempt to kill Bolt. Agonizingly slowly.

She banished all of those thoughts from her head. There were more important things to think about. She was graduating today. She would become a genin at ten, younger than her parents, the heroes of the old generation, and even the Seventh Hokage. She just hoped she wouldn't be put on a squad with Bolt. Then her feelings would overcome her judgement, and she'd become just another one of his fangirls. She really hoped she wouldn't.

Bolt approached the gate of the Academy, and smiled saying "Last day here." It certainly would be. He remembered his exam. How glorious, and gloriously funny it was.

"Alright, Aburame-sensei, so I just need to perform the Shadow Clone jutsu?" he asked. The sensei in question nodded, and Bolt made the hand signs. After the smoke cleared and Bolt was standing with fifty other Bolts. He saw Aburame-sensei smile, which was rare, and saw the other officials judging, his best friend Shikadai's father, Shikamaru, and his father's teacher Iruka, nod in response.

Shino said to him "Then, congratulations, you are officially a ninja!" and was handed a shiny black headband. He saw his friends Shikadai, Inojin, Chocho, Lee Jr., and his second cousin Karin Hyuga, and his fangirls cheering. They were clapping. He looked at his rivals, his cousin Hiro, and Kibi, a bully with a reputation as big as her father's. He then looked at Sarada, who was looking at him. She blushed and looked away, and he did the same. He didn't want to seem like he was staring at her. They had known each other since the other was born, owing to their parents, and she often spent nights at the Uzumaki household when both of her parents were not at their house because of work. Also, his parents were her godparents, so no avoiding a bond there. He had these feelings, but didn't know what they were.

Shikadai noticed a distinct glint in his best friend's eye. He nodded to him and the clones began to converge on Shino. He knew what he was about to do. Shikamaru noticed this and attempted to warn Shino, but it was too late as the clones completely covered him.

"But I'm gonna take it one step further, Aburame-sensei." Shino realized what he was talking about too late. Bolt smiled evilly and Karin covered her eyes and told Sarada to do the same. When asked why, she told her one word "Konohamaru." Sarada covered her eyes instantly as Bolt yelled the name of the infamous transformation technique, Super Harem Technique.

All around Shino, teenage female Bolts in underwear appeared. Chocho, Shika, Lee. Jr, and Shino reacted in clear horror. The fangirls cheered again. Shikamaru and Iruka just sighed and rolled their eyes. Both of Shino's nostrils had fresh blood coming out of them. He cursed.

He went to the courtyard and saw Jr, Shikadai, and Karin talking and went over to them. He greeted all of them. He saw Karin in her new outfit and complimented her on her appearance. She blushed and laughed at the same time.

Sarada saw this and made a glare for a half-second before her best friend saw it. She had a strong friendship with Karin, and wanted that to stay. She was angry at Bolt though. He was smiling at her when he saw her.

She was going to talk to them but the bell rang and everyone went inside. It was the part that Bolt and his friends, which he called the Bolt Gang, were looking foward to, and Sarada was dreading. She begged to however was listening not to put her on a squad with Bolt.

Shino revealed the squads to his class. He was nervous, a few of these squads would not work well. But, Naruto decided these squads, so it was his judgement, and no sane person dared challenge a Kage. He announced them and Bolt listened very carefully.

"Squad 3: Shikadai Nara, Chocho Amakichi, and Inojin Yamanaka." No surprise there. That was always the way of every generation of Ino-Shika-Cho. That combination was fearsome. But he wondered how well they would work with Shikadai in charge. He knew Shikadai would put on that team, but he still wished him to be on his team.

"Squad 9: Kibi Inuzuka, Karin Hyuga..." Bolt's face turned from excitement to fear. What the actual hell was his father thinking? These two had a famous and intense rivalry. Any team with both of them on it would turn into absolute chaos. After meeting the glares of Bolt, Karin, Kibi, and Sarada, he announced the third member of that so-called team: Juno Uchiha. Okay. He was found outside Konoha one day with memory loss. The only thing anyone knows about him is his name, he was an Uchiha, and he had unlocked the visual technique of his clan: the Sharingan. He would introduce stability to the team, but could he possibly deal with both of them.

"Squad 4: Boruto Uzumaki..." Bolt listened carefully. "Hiro Hyuga..." Okay not bad, he could deal with Hiro, he was his cousin after all. Bolt, Hiro, Sarada, and everyone else braced for. "And..."

Okay, so that's the first chapter. Read and Review! BTW, most of his family and most adults call him Boruto, while everyone else call him Bolt. Hope you've enjoyed, follow and favourite, and I will see YOU in the next chapter!
