Prompt: "Insanity run in my family. It practically gallops." (requested by Darkprincess238)
Title: Failed briefings
"So, whaddya think, guys? Pretty awesome plan, right?" Boruto asked and grinned proudly after he pulled his finger off the map he had been pointing at.
"…That's your plan?" Sarada asked in disbelief.
"I—well, yeah. What's wrong with it?"
"What's wrong with it? Are you serious?" she asked, feeling the vein in her forehead grow larger, as it tended to do whenever she had to interact with him even in the slightest. How could he be so smart sometimes, and such a dumbass the rest of the time?
"Oh, come on. It's not that bad. Mitsuki, you're on my side, right?"
"No, sorry, Boruto. I agree with Sarada, I think we need a new plan of attack."
"What?! Traitor! You guys just don't get it. Konohamaru-niichan, what do you think?" Boruto asked, turning to the jounin teacher that had remained silent up until then.
Now that they were all getting more and more experienced in executing missions, it was time for Konohamaru to step down and let the three of them try leading a mission themselves. Hence why he had let Boruto take the lead on this one and think out a plan of attack. He already knew how he would have strategized the mission, and couldn't help tease Boruto a little.
"Nope, I'm with them. That plan's nuts. I'll give you this. It's pretty ingenious, but also completely reckless. Did you lose a few screws and bolts on the way here? Perhaps when Sarada clocked you for snoring too loud on the train?"
"Whaat? Okay, first. Fair enough. The plan might be a little reckless and crazy but it would totally work! And besides, if it's a little bit outrageous, it's not my fault, ya know? You should know, Konohamaru-niichan, you know my stupid old man and how utterly bonkers he is. It's not my fault crazy runs in the family, it practically gallops! And I do not snore! That punch was uncalled for!"
"Firstly, stop talking shit about Lord Seventh. Secondly, you snore, we all know it, and thirdly, we really do need a new plan. Sarada, got any ideas?"
"Of course, Sensei," she answered, and gave Boruto a smug grin before pointing towards the map again. "If we start here, we should be able to sneak up behind them unseen. That will increase the chances of success and is a much more safe way to execute the mission," she explained and pretended not to hear the muttered 'show-off' coming from a disgruntled Boruto on her right.
