The Children of the Sunflower Chapter 3: Grand Theft


While Boruto was sitting in class, he was thinking of ways to break into the library again. One week was too much! Finally he came up with a that day, when he came home, he told Himiwari. "But Boruto nii-chan, won't you get in trouble?" asked Himiwari. "Nah, don't worry, Himawari," replied Boruto, "My plan is completely foolproof."

He staged his attack the day after. "First step, make a clone," thought Boruto. THe cloning jutsu he had learned just a few days ago when Konohamaru-sensei was saying something about hand signs(He wasn't reallly listening) and he caught it when Konohamaru did the cloning jutsu without signs to also caught something about how if you had large amounts of chakra, like Naruto or 1st Hokage, then you could, but that was off the point. He needed to concentrate on the task at hand. He sent the clone to the roof of the library and spit on one guard's head to attract attention to the clone. Sure enough, all the guards on that side of the builsing came to that spot to see what was going on, curses thrown at the clone. Boruto then therw rocks at the guards then made the clone appear to be throwing rocks at them by throwing the racks upward so he would have time to make it appear real then run away, causing the guards to chase after.

"Great," Boruto thought. "Now, Step 2: Sneak in." He made a Boruto clone walk down the side walk, attracting just enough attention so they woudn't hear the scraping the scroll made as it was taken off the shelves. "Step 3: Get out of there," he thought. Boruto dispelled the clone once it was out of sight and running, looked back at the library and made a face. He didn't notice the old bear trap rusting in the woods. He hopped out of the way, but the loud screech and snap from the old thing attracted the attention of the guards.

Meanwhile, Naruto was eating ramen when he heard the beep of a IM. He turned on his computer and looked at the message. "Darn Boruto," he thought. "I should have known he wanted to do this, maybe I should free up some time on my schedule once I give him a good rattling." "Or," he thought, "I should let him read it and let him think he has won the victory. It should make him happier, and let me get some time to take him to get that new ramen he wanted this Friday." Naruto grinned. "Boy is he going to be a happy person. It's the least I can do for him," he thought as he told the guards what to do. That Friday, Boruto had a great suprise. He found got the new ramen, time with his family, and showed off to Naruto with his 4 shadow clones. Boruto thought it was the best day of his life.

While Boruto was combining his new jutsu with Gentle Fist techniques, Himiwari was happily carving a wooden training sword with her brand new sword. She carefully made a sunflower pattern on the handle with lots of symmeterical shapes. When she was done, she decided to take a walk into the woods. After hours of wandering in the woods, she heard rustling. She pretended not to hear and turned back, listening carefully. A figure leaped at her from behind, and she jumped, turned and thrusted her sword at the person's chest, channelling wind chakra and Gentle Fist Air Palm jutsu through it. The person dodged, but got cut by the wind chakra, and threw shuriken, using Shadow Shuriken technique. Himawari used her sword to Air Palm the shuriken away and ran. She heard the person saying, "Damn, she's stronger than she looks. Send your gang in." She ran quickly, but not quickly enough. 5 people appeared in front of her. "Dang it," she thought. If only she'd learned 8 Trigrams 64 Palms. Panting, she turned on Byakugan.

She saw the person from earlier, now bandaged crudely. The people started to close in. She quickly made her move, slicing through the 5 people in front and ran forward, slicing wildly behind. Suddenly, she saw a search party with Naruto at the lead. "Himawari!" he called. Himawari threw herself into Naruto's arms and told him about the gang. "Damn, what is going on now with all these criminals suddenly," said Naruto. "Let's get you back to safety, we can deal with them later." She and Naruto went home with the search party behind. Later, Naruto recieved a report. "Mr. Hokage, we have recieved a report from our search party. One of their people were killed. He was wearing a headband crudely made, with a symbol no other village has," the email said. "The headband said 二代目根(Second Root)" Naruto gasped. "This is bad," he thought.
