"DAD!!!"
Boruto regained consciousness suddenly , amongst the ruins of the chunin's exam colosseum, and started looking around for his father . His father and uncle had protected him and sarada from momoshiki's devastating attack , saving the entire villagge in the process , but what had happened to him ? Was he even alive ?
" NARUTO !!!" An urgent cry rang out in the stilled air of the area and the young blond recognized his mother's, Hinata, voice .
Slowly but urgently he got up from the rubble and headed towards the sound .
As soon as he reached them , his father on the ground and his mother holding his head on her lap, he realized how dire his father's condition was .
He had lost his right arm yet again , and was bleeding profusely from many cuts on his chest staining his kage robe of crimson red, but at least he was still breathing .
His mother looked terrified but, boruto noticed , while kneeling in shock beside his father , oddly focused too .
Her pale eyes scanning her husband frame precisely checking every wound , although her byakugan wasn't even active at the moment.
" damn it ! This is bad ! What can we do ? " boruto let out frustrated " sarada's mom isn't even around and he needs a medic nin fast."
As he finished he looked back on his mom who was now staring at him with a weird look on her face , framed by her purple locks .
She seemed conflicted about something.
She closed her eyes , let out an heavy sigh and said
"I'm sorry , Sasuke-kun"
She then looked back on him as she weaved through many hand seals boruto couldn't recognize and told him " sweetie ? Whatever happens now, promise me you will stay calm okay ?"
Boruto nodded dumbfounded ' what is she even on about ?'he wondered .
She then finished her seals .
For an instant , nothing happened .
Then, medical chackra started glowing from hinata's palms as she started passing her hands accurately over naruto's many injuries .
"What the ...?" Boruto was astonished . From what he knew,his mother was capable of only starter level healing tecniques , nothing as strong as what she was currently using, his father's injuries were knitting up at an absurd speed and she was seemingly prioritizing the wounds near to major arteries, from what little anatomy he had picked up on his own.
Before boruto could ask though, Naruto suddenly let out a pained gasp , large amounts of blood spitting out of his mouth.
This prompted Hinata to use her left hand to check her husband's chest . she then ... cursed , much to her son's surprise.
The woman was usually soft spoken, after all.
" Damn it " she said harshly , in a voice, that boruto noticed , sounded completely different than usual yet familiar to him somehow " internal bleeding . Oh no, you baka , don't you even try it. I brought you back twice , i'm bringing you back this time too. You aren't getting away from me this freaking easily!!!! "
'...B-Baka?' Boruto was more puzzled by the second . What was up with his mom? Since when did she call his father stupid ?
She redoubled her efforts on the man's chest pouring a large amount of healing chakra to repair the damaged organs .
It was at this point that boruto saw something strange .
He was staring at his mother's face , estranged by her weird behavior, when he noticed something on her focused and strained with effort expression.
There was something on her forehead .
He rubbed his eyes with his knucles , convinced he was seeing things
It looked like a purple, diamond shaped seal, like the one he had seen on his grandma's forehead.
Then boruto was even more startled when his mother's forehead ...
Grew in size .
It was a little wider, a lttle more spacious .
And it wasn't the only thing changing as boruto stared on in shock .
Her soft face became a little more angular but still quite feminine and beautiful and her eyes , the white purplish pupil less iris , they were growing darker in color but not by much as pupils appeared , and they were a beautiful sea green now .
Boruto's Jaw finally dislocated as he watched the transfiguration his mother was going through actually spread to her hair.
Her short purple locks were ... growing, becoming long and straight reaching around the small of her back in lenght .
And then the final nail in the coffin of boruto's sanity struck true.
A diffent color was spreading from the woman's roots, and that color...
Was Pink and it soon coated her hair completely leaving not a single strand of purple behind .
As the stranger that used to be his mother, still wearing her clothes , stopped her treatment , as her husnand's breathing became steady and regular, and let out a long sigh of relief she looked back to the boy on the border of his sanity with an affection that he recognized even if it was coming from now sea green eyes .
She opened her arms gesturing for an embrace . The young blond hesitated for a moment but the need for comfort from the last 10 minutes of the world ( and him) going completely bonkers became overwhelming .
He embraced Sakura Uzumaki with all his young might and when he did , he realized that this was exactly his mother's embrace , exactly the same .
" ...Mom ? " he asked in a shaky, uncertain voice
" I' m sorry sweetie , we'll explain everything to both you and hiwamari as soon as your dad wakes up ." She said in the voice that also belonged to sarada's mom but that was very recognizable in tone as the same that bid him good night every night since his very first memory.
Elsewhere on the ruined battlefield sarada uchiha was staring intently at her hand , her black eyes surrounded by thick veins .
She could see her own chakra network.
AN: Hey everybodyThis is my first naruto fan fic and probably just a one shot . But I wanted to do this for a simple reason.Unfudge an ending.In all honesty I think this ends up working.Two of the strongest kunoichis of their generation just becoming staying at home mom's makes more sense when they are hiding their true identity.The Last makes more sense when it is a literal cover up to explain how the loudest and most emotionally attuned ninja of the leaf is suddenly in love with someone else .And Sasuke leaving the village to investigate and hunt down the clan that endangered the woman he had come to love and the mother of his child seems a little better than abandoning his family for no reason.As does Karin keeping the umbilical cord of an uchiha-hyuga child in the secret lab of a terrifying war criminal, especially if its safer and must be hidden from the village .So if you wanna flame this endlessly, go ahead, I'm honestly curious .And if you liked this I may make a second chapter to explain a little more .Although considering the events I presented , a keen eyed reader could theorize how did Sakura did disguise herself as Hinata for so long .See yaP.S. If you're here looking for the update to my other fic , the manhattan lockdown, sorry it's gonna need some more time in the oven.And screwing over the One More Day of Anime seemed like a decent appetizer .
