A/N: Now we come to the event itself. Enjoy.
2: Highlands.
"Hold up you guys… I'm not as agile as I once was." Dad was carrying the bulk of our food as we climbed up the hill.
I got to admit seeing Mom's pink hair shining in the bright morning did make me think about what their life must have been like a few years ago. From what we got old in school, Mom, Dad, and even their companion our Lord Seventh Hokage played important roles in the 4th Great Ninja War. Years later a world that was at war now seemed to have healed itself. As I got a look over the valley Mom stopped to help dad with the food.
"Sarada don't go too far ahead."
"Mom I'm not that stubborn…" Sha what did she know anyway. All I could think was what a beautiful place this valley was almost like you can see forever into the distance. I managed to get a good spot picked out as they caught up.
"Oh boy…I've not aged well."
"Sauske it's not just you…" Mom's words managed to bring down the mood as they both slid down onto the ground to get a breather. Of course the few times I managed to ask about Dad's past, either to him or Mom directly they both managed to switch the subject asking how I was getting along with Boruto. As they sulked I knew at least we were done walking for now.
"So here then…." My play on sarcasm did make them groan but as I set up next to them Mom grabbed the drinks and then out came the food, within 10 minutes we started eating. As I managed to gnaw on onigiri, mom saw the look on Dad's eyes…
"Hey…What's up…"
"There's something ominous about this place…"
My own unease was less than his.
"Dad come on, it's secluded and besides how in the world would we end up being ambushed. I mentioned to Konohamaru-sensei about this place and he said it's been abandoned land since the second great ninja war. Hardly anyone comes up here except for vacations."
"There must be a reason…"
"Oh I can give you one…" Mom's voice suddenly made me uncomfortable…I know Dad usually spends his days outside the village so on those rare days he comes back and spends time with us, he gets more casual with Mom.
"I'm going up the hill to get some practice in." My words were fast my speed to get out of there was quicker. I could barely hear Mom yelling for me to hurry back and yet I knew what was about to happen enough to get out of range.
"Sharingan don't fail me now…"
Sure enough the eyes opened up to view a secluded are a half mile away. The speed became great as I raced along the trees, multiple chakra bursts along the treeline led me to get an even greater speed boost.
"Faster…"
Within 15 seconds I came down the tree to the ground level and saw it.
"Whoa…"
The valley opened up to show far and wide greenery. Brooks of water by the wayside and multiple wildlife. One thing was clear on my mind.
"How was this ever a warzone."
Our history class at school was dominated by the 4th war but I took fascination with the second the best. A lot of primitive tech was used, and since the village advanced far more in the 15 years since the 4th war then it did since the beginning, seeing something that looked almost frozen in time seem magical. Speaking of magic…
"Whoa…someone's down there…"
I could suddenly feel a chakra spike in the valley lead me to zoom down below but as a reached the bottom it seemed to vanish. The only telltale sign was a silver flower.
"That's where it's coming from…"
The silver flower had the bloom of chakra energy what was unusual about that was the seven stones arranged in a circle around it. I wonder what would happen if I got near it.
"The flower does look weird."
My feet began to get closer and closer to the circle. With each steep I could feel the power from the flower begin to grow. Until I was within a step from entering. I stopped suddenly realizing what I need to do first.
"Should I go get them…"
But then another point reassured itself.
"I'm a gennin now, I should have to ask for help from my parents."
With one step of my foot inward to the circle I walked the 2 feet to the flower. But as I touched it I could suddenly hear voices on the perimeter by the circle
"What the…" My view quickly went from white to black...
Without warning I suddenly fell backward and smacked the ground hard.
"Why's it dark…" I did end up noticing the sudden loss of light too…It took me a minute to get up to my feet. The sky around me was dark with the brightness of stars. But they're not the stars I know.
"What happened to the sky."
My head shifted to the area around me. As before I was in the middle of the valley now I found myself in what looked like woods. Yet there where lights on either side of me.
"Hey watch it…"
Without warning someone passed by me riding something odd…
"How…"
We walk everywhere…How was he riding something…With that my view came upon the surroundings. Our village didn't look that modern.
"Mom…Dad…"
My screams began to echo….Somehow I was flung somewhere…and my true first test without my parents support was about to begin.
