Authors Note; I do not own Naruto.


Everything was black..

She couldn't see a thing. What happened to her? She can't remember.

She suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. It felt like someone was stabbing her with a kunai. She didn't know how that would feel like, but she imagined it being painfull. Her head hurts and she couldn't move.

Hinata tried to remember what happened. A flashback appeared and she remembered figthting her cousin Neji. Did she win? No, she didn't. She would never win. He was far too strong. So the reason why she was laying there was because she had lost.

Then she thought about Naruto. Hinata wanted to cry. Naruto probably saw her losing. The one person she loved with all her heart saw her failing. She mentally slapped herself for being such a weakling. Naruto would never love someone who would be so weak as herself. That is what her father had learned her. ''You will never get a husband if you stay this weak'' he said. She would do better next time. She will let Naruto see the strong side of her. But when will she ever have another opportunity to show him?

She suddenly felt someone grabbing her hand tightly. She wanted to open her eyes but they refused. Her eyes felt heavy as if they were practically glued to each other. She decided to keep her eyes shut. Instead, she thought of the person who was holding her hand. Who could it be?

She went down a list of people who cared for her. The only people she could think of was her own team. Kurunai sensei, Kiba or Shino. Who else would care about her? Her family? Her father wouldn't bother seeing her even though she was in the hospital. When he hears the news, he probably wouldn't care and would find something better to do. Maybe the one holding her hand was her little sister Hanabi. Hinata didn't have a great bond with her but they both knew that they cared deeply for each other.

But then she felt the grip getting stronger. For some reason the hand felt safe. It felt warm as if the person holding it cared a lot about her. Not in a friendly way or in a lovers way, but more like he was part of her. Like they shared a deep bond. Like family.

She finally managed to open her eyes a little. She could see a little bit but the image wasn't clear. She saw something yellow. Someone with yellow hair. And the person had whiskers on his cheeks..

That could only be one person.

''N-Naruto-kun?

She felt his hand quickly leaving hers and she thought she made a mistake. Maybe the person felt offended that she thought it was someone else. She wanted to apologize but the person left the room. She wanted to stop him but he already left. She wanted to slap herself for being so stupid.

But she could swear that she saw Naruto. Who else had blonde hair and whiskers on his cheeks?

Then she suddenly thought about another boy. The boy who looked a lot like Naruto. What was his name? Inayu? Iku?

No, it was Ichiyu. But why would he come see her? She remembered him being there with the fight. Maybe he was just worried about her. Hinata's hand felt warm and she knew he had been there for a long time holding her hand. She smiled a bit.

''So one more person cares a bit about me..''


..

Boruto quickly let go of her hand and walked out of the room. He didn't want her to think he was crazy holding her hand. He wanted to stay there and talk with her for a bit but it could go so wrong. It was better if he waited and talked to her another time when she felt a bit better. She needed the rest after all.

Boruto finally walked out of the hospital and headed home. He thought about having a nice bath when he got there. Hatori would be pissed at him for being so late but he can handle it.

As he walked, he thought about home. He missed every single bit of it. He even missed his dad who he barely saw. They sometimes shared a small conversation and that could make Boruto's day a lot better. Now he just felt alone again without his family. He was with them in the past, but not actually with them. They didn't even know that he was their son. Naruto and Hinata barely know each other..

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. He stopped walking and villagers bumped into him. ''Hey, watch out where your going dude!"' some guy said and walked past him.

Boruto grinned. He just had a great idea. He could speed up the progress a little between his parents. He knew that he shouldn't involve himself with the past but he just couldn't stand the fact that his father is so dense. Besides, what could be so bad about trying to get them closer together? Nothing could go wrong. He will only help them!

Boruto smiled and began walking again. He thought his idea was amazing. But the only problem was that they weren't in the same team as his mother. He had to figure out something quick.

Deep in his thoughts he finally arrived at his home. He opened the door and Boruto's eyes went wide open. The room was a mess. He saw scrolls laying everywhere on the ground and a lot of fruits and vegetables on the table.

Boruto walked in and searched for Hatori. He finally found him in the kitchen making some instant ramen. He put some water in the kettle and turned around. When he saw Boruto he went furious. ''Oh so your finally back huh?! What the hell were you thinking? You can't just leave like that without informing me what your doing. What if you did something that could change the future? Do you know how much that could change everything we have?'' he practically screamed.

Boruto took a step back and grinned. ''Hey, don't worry so much about it gramps. Everythings went fine! I did nothing stupid, trust me.'' he said and sat down on the coach. ''But what have you been up to? The room is a mess. Couldn't you find your diaper or something?'' Boruto grinned and quickly leapt to his left to avoid the carrot Hatori was throwing at him.

''No. I went to the village today to buy some stuff for the jutsu. They had a lot of good stuff and I went ahead and bought them all.'' he said while taking the kettle and poured some water in the ramen. ''I bought a lot of scrolls as well. I can write the jutsu's down. If I make a mistake I always have a backup scroll.''

He brought the two ramens he made to the table where Boruto sat down and placed himself next to him. They waited for the ramen to finish.

Boruto glanced at him. Maybe he should tell about his idea he had about his parents. He wouldn't do anything wrong. He would just help them get together more. They eventually still will end up together, so what could possibly go wrong?

When Boruto opened his mouth the speak, Hatori interrupted him. ''I heard that you were placed in team 7. Behave yourself okay? It's important to not let your dad know that you have anything to do with him. Just act like a normal kid who just got into town for the Sarutobi clan, nothing else.'' he warned Boruto and looked at him.

Boruto laughed nervously. ''No, I'll watch out. Trust me!'' he said quickly.

Hatori opened his ramen. ''Good. I don't want any problems in the future. I'll give you a list of the ingredients that we need for the jutsu.'' and went off in his thoughts.

Boruto looked at him. It looked like Hatori had something on his mind.

''Whats wrong?'' Boruto asked.

Hatori shook his head. The smell of ramen filled the room and Boruto's stomach growled. ''I want this jutsu to be ready before we have a sudden time skip to another time.'' he said with concern in his voice. ''What if we end up in the time where Pain attacked the village? That could be troublesome.'' he said and took a bite out of his ramen. ''Or that time when the war started? Oh god, i do not want to relive that.'' and he shivered a bit.

Boruto was afraid to ask but it was time. He had to know the answer.

''Hatori.. What will happen if we die in the past?''

Hatori froze. He swallowed the ramen he had placed in his mouth. Boruto watched him carefully as Hatori was about to say his next words.

''If one of us dies.. We'll never be able to get back in the future. And the future will die with us.''


Boruto's eyes looked shocked. He forgot about his ramen that was now turning cold. His thoughts quickly went to the family he had in the future.

''W-Will they die?'' he asked, horrified for his answer.

''Yes Boruto. Im afraid they will. That's why i was so carefull with this jutsu. It's a jutsu that can't be used by stupid people..'' and looked at Boruto who didn't mind the comment made towards him. ''..It's far to dangerous and we need to watch out for our own lifes. That's why you can't go on dangerous missions Boruto. I already talked to Kakashi and explained everything. He thought it would be best if you would just go on search missions with the squad for the jutsu. But nothing more.'' he said and watched Boruto's reaction.

Boruto nodded his head. This jutsu is very dangerous. He never expected things to go like this. He's glad he didn't pick a fight with Neji at the Chunin Exams. What if the fight lead to death? He needs to be carefull with his own life.

Boruto finally picked up his ramen. He took a bite and spit everything out. ''Damn! The ramen is so cold!'' he screamed and Hatori laughed. ''Baka''


….NEXT DAY….

''BORUTO, WAKE THE FUCK UP!'' Hatori yelled in his ear.

Boruto immidiately woke up. He quickly sat up what caused him to bump into Hatori's head on accident. Hatori fell down on his butt and Boruto quickly grabbed his forehead. ''Damn! That hurt you moron!'' he yelled and stood up from the ground he had been sleeping on. He made his own little bed on the ground with some blankets and pillows. It actually didn't sleep so bad, and that made Boruto proud of himself. He never expected it to be so good.

''You damn brat!'' Hatori yelled and stood up. He quickly grabbed his own butt with both hands and it looked like he was in pain. ''My butt hurts. Thanks a lot. Next time, set a alarm!'' he said and walked away towards the kitchen. Boruto walked after him.

''What are you going to do today?'' Boruto yawned and sat himself on a chair. He patiently waited for Hatori to make him breakfast.

''I'm going to stay in all day. I need a lot of time to perform this jutsu so I can use the silence while you're away.'' he said and grabbed some instant ramen. Boruto looked at the ramen with disgust on his face.

''I can't see ramen anymore! Can't you make pancakes or something?'' he whined and Hatori just ignored him.

''If you want pancakes, then go make it yourself. Im not your cook.'' he said and boiled some water.

Boruto got mad. ''Fine! I'll go look around the village for some food. Lend me some money.''

Hatori laughed. ''I won't give you any money. You can get that on your own too right?'' he said with a face that looked very evil.

Boruto stood up and walked to his room. He quickly changed his clothes and went out the house. ''Fine! I don't need your stuff anyway. See ya!'' he yelled and slammed the door shut.

He breathed in the fresh air. It felt good to be outside. He couldn't stand the smell of ramen anymore. He ate it yesterday. He expected another meal today. He wasn't like his dad at all. His dad could eat ramen everyday. Luckily, his mother wouldn't let him and usually made him some pancakes or rice instead. Naruto didn't complain, because his mothers food always tasted great.

Boruto quickly walked into the village. He didn't want to have a crappy feeling again about his old life. He needs to work on getting himself back to it, not just thinking and whining about it.

He put his hand in his pockets and walked. But he stopped when he felt a piece of paper in one of his pockets. He grabbed and opened it. It was a list of special items.

Hebi flower

Emerald stone

Tetski flower

An olive from the Alias tree

A hair from the cat Nisker

A drop of a kyuubis blood

Naruto looked puzzled. What was this all for? A hair from a cat? Flowers?

Then he remembered what Hatori said to him about special ingredients he needed to find for the jutsu. So these are the items..

Boruto put the paper back in his pocket. This would be a piece of cake! He can find these items in no time. What is so hard about finding a flower or finding a stone? A drop of a kyuubis blood? That was easy enough. He had his dad by his side all the time. So no need to worry.

He put the piece of paper back in his pocket and reminded himself that he is not the only one who would look for the ingredients. Kakashi, Asuma and Kurunai would look for them too. Hatori and him would get back in no time!

He suddenly heared someone coughing. He looked up and saw Hinata standing right in front of him, fidgeting with her fingers. Boruto was shocked but quickly recovered himself. He wanted to get to know her better anyway so this was the perfect time to talk to her. But he needs to keep his cool. He watched her trying to speak. It looked like she was nervous. Boruto looked at the bandage that was around her head and around her arm. There probably was one around her stomach too but you couldn't see that because of the huge jacket she was wearing over it. Boruto felt bad and wanted to hug his mom immidiately, but remembered that he couldn't.

''H-Hello..'' she said with a soft voice and looked up at him. She smiled a bit.

''Hey!'' he smiled back and looked like he was surprised seeing her. ''I see you got out of the hospital. Are you doing okay?'' he asked and waited for her response.

She smiled. ''Yes. Im doing fine, thankyou'' she said. ''Are you heading somewhere?''

Put his hands in his pockets. ''Yeah, I wanted to go get something to eat actually. Do you know a place where they don't sell ramen?'' he asked her.

She suddenly looked nervous again. She stared at the ground while asking her next question. ''I.. I could bring you to my mansion instead. I was h-heading there anyway. I just came back from the hospital and wanted to cook something for myself back home.'' she stopped and looked up at Boruto. ''I know you came by yesterday at the hospital. T-Thankyou..'' she said and smiled.

Boruto froze. So she knew it was him that visited her in the hospital. He quickly thought of a reason to come over.

''U-Uh.. Yeah! You were so beat up that I checked up on you to see if you were okay! Naruto and I were very worried.'' he quickly said and looked over to see her response. Unfortunately, she looked down. She looked at the ground and didn't say a word. Boruto thought something was up with her. He knew his mothers facial expressions too well and he knew that she didn't feel good. Was it because his dad didn't come by to see her yesterday?

''D-Did N-Naruto say something to you?'' she whispered.

Boruto thought about her question. He didn't remember him saying anything so he shook his head. ''No, why do you ask?''

Hinata smiled a bit. ''Good.. I was afraid he was disappointed at me..'' she whispered again and Boruto could see some tears forming in her eyes. He saw how hard it was to fight them back. He felt heartbroken. He loved his mother and didn't want to see her look so down.

''He was very proud of you!'' Boruto quickly said. Hinata immidiately looked up at him.

''R-Really?'' she asked nervously.

''Yeah!'' he said with a grin on his face. He wasn't lying. He knew his dad was proud of her. He showed it yesterday. ''He kept saying how cool you were and that you fought awesome! So you don't need to worry about that.'' he smiled.

''O-Oh.. Thankyou Ichiyu.'' she smiled.

Boruto laughed. ''Why don't you just tell him you like him?'' he said without realizing what he just said.

''W-W-What?! N-No I d-don't like him!'' she stammered. Her face went red and quickly burried it in her hands.

''Heheh, don't worry. I won't tell him.'' he grinned. Suddenly, his stomach growled. His face went red to and he laughed a bit. ''Sorry, im so hungry.''

Hinata laughed, feeling a little more comfortable with Ichiyu. ''I-I don't mind bringing a guest with me today. Do you want to join me?'' she asked smiling.

Boruto's face lit up. He hasn't had his mothers food in a long time. He was starving and wanted to eat those amazing rice balls his mother always made for him again.

''Sure! I would love to!'' he grinned.
