Wind blew through the king's hair as he looked across the lush green forest that surrounded his capitol city.

Naruto thought back to twenty years earlier when he help lead the forces of mankind against the Otsutsuki invasion that nearly destroyed all humans.

It had only taken a month for the entire war to end, but in that time eighty percent of all humans were killed but thanks to Naruto and Sasuke war was ended in mankind's favor.

Slowy yet surely mankind began to reproduce and a new age of peace was born.

Arms wrapped around Naruto's waist and the queen rested her head on her husband's shoulder "the guests will be arriving soon dear."

Naruto smiled and spun his wife around kissing her "then I suppose we should dress for the occasion."

Hinata picked up a brilliant pink gown for her twevle year old daughter Himawari "now this makes you look so pretty sweetie."

Himawari's eyes brightened " not as pretty as you momma."

Hinata smiled warmly at her daughter's comment and put a jewled tiara on her daughter's head " now where is your brother."

Himawari looked up at her mother with big blue eyes " he is out training with Inojin and Shikadai." Himawari smiled and giggled "but you just have to tell Lady Sarada is coming and he will come running."

A soft laugh came from Hinata, it was true her son was always at his happiest at the yearly Five Kingdom party, the only time of the year he could see one of his oldest friends, the one thing Boruto didn't like was all the teasing from his friends saying that Sarada is going to be his queen.

Hinata gently combed her daughter's hair "remember your brother doesn't like to be teased about Sarada."

Himawari nodded " I know it's just I really like Sarada and big brother will need a wife sooner or later and who is better than a girl that is well liked by most of the kingdom."

The queen sighed, it was true Sarada would be the perfect option for her son as a wife and queen, caring and fair she hoped her son would grow more than just friendly feelings for the Uchiha.

Hinata kissed her daughter's forehead " I know that Sarada would be a great choice but me and your father have decided to let Boruto choose his own wife."

Sometime later Boruto, Inojin, and Shikadai entered the great hall after a long round of sword training.

Hinata came up to her son seeing him in his train garb, covered in swear and bruises she sighed "oh Boruto you know the yearly party is tonight."

Inojin nudged him "oh he knows it's the only time of the year Lady Sarada comes to the castle."

Boruto elbowed his friend " I am sorry mother we will all go wash up and get changed" Boruto and his friends turned towards the bath house and Hinata called out " I left a outfit on your bed."

Boruto slid down into the steaming water until only his head was above water.

Inojin was slowly swiming around in the hot springs "so Boruto you excited for the party."

Boruto let out soft growl "you gonna talk more about Sarada."

Shikadai spoke up "well you are always at your happiest when you know Sarada is coming to the castle."

A deep blush appeared on Boruto's face, had he really been that obvious.

Shikadai smiled "don't be embarrassed Boruto, you are the heir to the throne and all heir's will need a wife to bear another heir and so on and so on, but the saying goes behind every great king is a even greater queen look at your parents for example. Sarada is a caring, fair and well liked woman in the kingdom and due to being your friend for several years it is only natural that people would picture you two ending up together."

"Huh when you put it like that it makes sense."

Inojin laughed " I can picture your wedding now, giant with the entire kingdom coming to see the next generation to continue the age of peace, ooh I can paint your wedding portrait."

Water splashed Inojin " come on Inojin I'm not even sure Sarada has any feelings for me anyway we should get out soon and prepare for the party, us young lords have to entertain guests" Boruto exclaimed his body turning a deeper shade of red from all the talk of him and his oldest female friend.

Boruto wrapped a towel around his waist and gathered his dirty clothes "alright see you two at the party tonight."

A door creeked opened and Boruto dropped his clothes into a wicker basket and looked to his bed for the outfit his mother had prepared for him, and was shocked to see a lean female body already laying in his bed a book obscuring Boruto's view of her face.

Confusion spread across Boruto's face "who are you, what are you doing in my room, I am going to call the guards."

A giggle sounded behind the book and slowly the girl dropped the book revealing the pleasantly familiar face of Sarada Uchiha "you would call the guards on one of your best friends" Sarada said in mock offense.

Happiness surged through Boruto "Sarada your here" he brought her into a deep hug.

Sarada blushed " I am glad to see you to Boruto but maybe you should get dressed first."

Boruto released his friend and was flooded with embarrassment "hehe sorry mind stepping out for a minuet so I can get dressed."

Sarada walked out and Boruto looked at the outfit his mother picked out for him, a black wool tunic with a leather interior and a matching pair of hosen's.

Boruto dressed quickly and slipped on some wool socks and leather boots and stepped out of his room to see Sarada hugging Himawari.

Himawari saw her brother "big brother Sarada is here."

Boruto rubbed his sister's head "I see" Sarada flashed him a smile "your very formal looking, my prince."

Boruto blushed as he looked over his friend, she had red dress that brought out her more developed womanly features, she was a scrawny thing when the two were young but only a few years back she had come for her annual vist and puberty had hit her hard strangely enough that was when Boruto started to have a crush on her.

As much as Boruto tried his blush wouldn't recede and his sister took note of it and she grinned "well I better get going I will see you two at the party" she winked at her brother.

Boruto sighed " I can't get mad at her" he turned to Sarada "so how exactly did you get into my room."

Sarada smiled "oh that was easy the queen let me in."

There were giggles heard from around a corner and Boruto scowled " ok Inojin Shikadai you can come out now."

Inojin and Shikadai came out smiling at the two.

Sarada smiled and hugged the two boys "it's so good to see you two again."

Inojin and Shikadai returned the hug with Inojin smirking "you know it's not the most respectful thing to be hugging another man's woman especially when that man is the prince."

A fire of rage burned inside Boruto, joking around eachother was one thing but in front of Sarada herself was different.

Sarada pinched Inojin's ear causing the boy to gasp in pain "no usually I am all for messing around with the prince, but don't go dragging me through this, got it?"

Inojin nodded vigorously and Sarada released his ear laughing and the laughter was soon joined by Boruto and Shikadai.

Inojin rubbed his ear " oh haha laugh it up, but we better head down to the dinning hall for the start of the party."

Guest had arrived from all of the five great kindoms, it was the one time of the year that where people from all over can come and enjoy themselves not having to worry about anything.

Many musicians were in the hall playing a fast happy beat, and several tables of food were strayed out for all to enjoy.

Himawari jumpped into her brother's arms " big brother isn't this great oh it's my favorite time of the year."

Time went by at a fast pace as Boruto went from eating to more conversations and finally to dancing.

Several fair maidens were quite eager to dance with the young prince, and while Boruto agreed and danced with several girls there was one ravened haired girl who had stayed as far away from dancing as she could.

The music changed to a slow and more romantic tone and the blonde prince walked up to his long time friend and did a slight bow "would my lady do me the honor of having this dance."

The slightest hint of a blush appeared on Sarada's face as she turned to her long time friend and grabbing his hand " of course my prince but let's not act so formal."

Conforming to the music the pair danced slowly swaying side to side, Sarada laying her head on Boruto's shoulder "this has been a nice night" Boruto blushed and smiled "yes it has."

The king smiled looking down on all the attendents of the party singling out his son and Sarada he couldn't help but smile and mutter "she would be the perfect queen for him."

"I'll pretend I didn't just hear that."

Naruto turned to see his longtime friend and rival standing before him " if you didn't want her around him you would have scared him off by now, but what do I this honor of being graced with your presence, you haven't showed up to one of these parties in three years."

Sasuke leaned on the railing next to Naruto " I have news for the Council of Kings."

Naruto's expression darkened " is it trouble."

Sasuke nodded as he watched his daughter slow dance so peacefully " I fear there will soon be another war, I'll explain everything at the meeting but first I need to ask a favor."

Naruto was shaken at the thought of another great war but managed to keep calm "what is it."

Sasuke sighed " I need you to house Sakura and Sarada in the castle till whenever I can guarantee they will be safe at home."

Naruto patted his friend on the back "of course I will house them" then the king smirked " I am sure Boruto will love having Sarada living here in fact there is a empty room right by Boruto she can have that."

Sasuke clutched his sword " the prince is a real nice kid and all I would hate to have to chop off a limb or two."

Naruto laughed as he swung a arm around his friend " come on let's get to the meeting."

Doors swung open to the Council of Kings meeting room the three other kings and the lone queen had already arrived taking there seats at the large circular table.

Naruto sat down and clapped his hands " sorry for being late but I received some troubling news from Sasuke and he would like to share with all of you now."

Everyone in the room turned towards Saskue and cleared his throat and began to speak " you all know that me and Naruto were able to end the war with the Otsutsuki after we were able to gain access to there use of dark magic. I have used my powers to monitor all survivors and recently I found that someone in their ranks has begun to gather dark magic to build another Zetsu army. I give half a year before they reach a invasion sized force I suggest you all prepare your Kingdoms for war."

There was shocked silence in the room lasting for several minuets until Naruto broke it "look we need to start recruiting more men into our armies, stocking up on food, building forts at key invasion points, forging weapons and armor, building up a naval feelt, and most importantly training the new recruits."

The other kings nodded in approval to the plan but the lone queen Kurotsuchi stood up "you make vaild and good points that I agree Naruto but why leave recruiting to only men."

This caught everyone's interest and Naruto smiled "good point Kurotsuchi I will make it so women can volunteer for my army but the other kings must come to there own decision, but otherwise I see that we are done here go back to your kingdoms and prepare for the worst."

Naruto watched as the kingdom leaders exited the meeting room and sighed " you know Sasuke I really thought we had nothing more to worry about for the longest time."

Sasuke sat down next to the king " I did to, but I need to ask you one more favor, I fear that when Sarada hears about this upcoming war and that women will be allowed into the army she will want to join, so I need you to train her beforehand, god knows how many times she's asked me to train her."

Naruto patted his friend on the back " don't worry Sasuke I know the perfect teacher for her."

Sasuke growled " not him, he does not need hours of alone time with my daughter."

Naruto only laughed " ok then other than us two can you name someone who can train her up to your standards, you know Boruto is one of the best swordsmen around."

A lack of options made Sasuke sigh " fine he is the best option."

A smirk grew wide across the king's lips " good I will tell them tomorrow, no need to worry them tonight."

A seat slid across the floor as Sasuke stood up " thank you Naruto, I have to go and see if anymore developments in the Zetsu army have been made" he walked to the door and suddenly stopped " take care of them, and make sure your son keeps his hands off my daughter."

And with those final words Sasuke was gone, and Naruto decided he should have a few hours of fun before he would be dug in for war preperations, and he headed down stairs to the party.

Boruto watched in amusment as Chocho easily out drank Inojin and Shikadai.

Mead poured down Inojin's chest as his head softly hit the table " I can not continue" he finished it off with a loud burp.

Sarada leaned on Boruto "you gonna take a shot at Chocho's title" her breath smelt of sweet cherry wine.

Boruto shook his head " no I can't handle my alcohol all that well."

Sarada patted Boruto's head clearly drunk " hehe your hair is so soft."

Boruto wrapped his arms around his drunk friend "alright let's get you to a bed."

Sarada smiled her beautiful yet drunken smile and Boruto helped up a staircase leading to the bedrooms.

Boruto looked around "oh yeah we never put you in a room."

A sudden warmth on his cheek made Boruto stop " did Sarada just kiss my cheek."

Giggles escaped Sarada's wine stained lips "why don't I just stay with you my prince."

A deep blush grew across Boruto's face " uh I'm not so sure about that Sarada."

Suddenly wine stained lips crashed into Boruto's lips, it wasn't elegant not something you would see a prince and a lady doing more like a sloppy kiss you would see in a whorehouse, but Boruto didn't seem to mind as this was something he had yearned for over the last several years.

After several seconds Sarada pulled back giggling as Boruto opened his bedroom door.

It didn't take long for a sudden soft crash of Sarada landing on the soft mattress to be heard.

A blanket was put over her and a warm hand gently brushed some messy strains of raven hair out of the elegantly beautiful drunken face of the now peacefully sleeping Sarada

Blue eyes gazed of the Lady of House Uchiha " she's so beautiful and she kissed me I just can't believe it. Yes it is beacause she is drunk and doesn't know what she is doing but still, it has been something I have dreamed of for years and tonight it finally happened, oh but she probably won't remember. Well at least I have had my first kiss now."

A sudden evil vile thought entered the young prince's mind " who say's it has to end with a kiss, Sarada won't even remember anything, I could use her body to achieve my long held lust for her."

As a princely hand reached towards her dress shame and regret washed over Boruto like a tsunami and his hand shot back to his side as tears of shame welled in his eyes " I am disgusting even thinking of taking advantage of and hurting not only a girl I have feelings for but one of my oldest and dearest friends what kind of sick freak does that, if I want Sarada I will just have to earn her love, and never think of hurting her in any way, shape, or form."

Soft lips kissed a pale forehead as Boruto rolled to the egde of his bed, wiping away his shame filled tears " I can't believe I even thought about doing that" a deep sigh came from the blonde prince " I am so sorry for almost hurting you Sarada."

Only a gently snore was the prince's response and Boruto gently smiled at the beauty sleeping before him and gently drifted off to sleep.
