Chapter 10
Authors Note; I do not own Naruto ofcourse.
They finally arrived at the Hyuga mansion. On the way there they both talked a lot to each other. Hinata didn't stammer anymore as she felt more comfortable being with Boruto. They talked about ninja's, missions and a lot of other stuff. Boruto did most of the talking. He told her stories about awesome missions he had with his sensei back in the other village. Ofcourse he didn't tell her that his sensei was Konohamaru. He told her fake names but kept the stories the same.
While talking to him, she felt something strange. It was as if she had known Ichiyu for a long time. That wasn't the case ofcourse, but it was just this strange feeling she couldn't ignore. Maybe it was because he looked so much like Naruto. Yes, that is probably the reason.
She smiled when they arrived at the mansion. Boruto looked up and acted as if it was his first time seeing it. ''Wow''
It wasn't his first time seeing it. Back in his time, he often visited his grandpa Hiashi. He loved hanging out with him. He was a grumpy old man, but if you knew how to handle him he can be very fun.
The gates opened and the bodyguards welcomed both of them in. They walked through the garden and finally got in the mansion.
When Boruto went inside, everything still looked the same as in the future. Nothing had changed, except that there wasn't a portrait of his uncle Neji for a reminder of his death on the wall.
Hinata showed Boruto the way to the kitchen. The only thing that Boruto didn't notice about himself was that he was walking up front. It looked like he knew his way around the mansion.
Hinata followed him to the kitchen. Weird.. she thought but continued following him. She let the thought go and started preparing their meals.
''You can sit down if you want to. I will prepare our food.'' She said smiling at him and Boruto shook his head. ''No, I want to help! I need to learn this anyway. Ha.. I mean Misoka won't make me any food at home. So I need to know this myself.'' He said and waited for her instructions.
Hinata giggled. ''Alright then. You can start by filling this pan with water and heating it up. I'll prepare the vegetables in the meantime.''
Boruto followed her instructions and did everything she said. In the meantime, he wrote everything on a little piece of paper so he wouldn't forget it. Hinata watched him writing everything down and giggled at the sight. It was such a simple meal, and he still wrote everything down.
''Ichiyu-kun? If you'd like.. You could come by more often and I could learn you more recipes.'' She smiled. Boruto's eyes grew bigger. ''Really? You wouldn't mind?''
''No ofcourse not! I'd love to help you.'' She said and gave him a carrot. ''I want you to cut this carrot in small little pieces.'' She gave him a knife with it and Boruto froze.
It was weird that his mother let him cut the vegetables. His mother always did it back in the past. She would never let him cut them because he would always cut himself. She was worried he would cut himself to deep that his finger would come off one day so decided to handle the knife herself. The same goes for all the cooking in house. Even boiling the water was too dangerous for him.
But now she let him do everything. It was weird but he enjoyed it. His mother teaching him to cook again. It was like she trusted him with this.
Boruto was staring at the knife in his hand while thinking about it. Hinata waved with her hand in front of his face. She got worried after saying his name for a couple of times but she got no response. ''Ichiyu-kun? Are you alright?'' she asked.
''U-Uh.. Yeah. Small pieces right?'' he quickly said and cut the vegetables fast. He forgot he was terrible at handling the knife and cut himself like he always did. He let the knife fall on the table and the blood came rushing out of his finger.
''Are you alright?'' she asked worryingly and quickly grabbed a towel from the table. She put it on his finger and when she looked at it, she saw a deep cut.
''Y-Yeah I'm fine'' he said and grabbed the towel. Hinata walked away to get bandages. When she got back she pulled Boruto in a seat and put the bandages on. She looked at him. ''You need to be more carefull next time!'' she said with a serious look on her face.
Boruto looked at her face. He saw the same worried expression as before. Back in the future. Tears started to form in his eyes. He missed his mother so much. He would do everything right now to go back and to hug her and tell her how much he loved her. How much he missed her. It hurt him so much that the tears rolled off of his eyes.
Hinata looked shocked. She looks at his finger. ''Does it hurt? Ichiyu-kun?'' she said and was afraid that he cut to deep. ''Maybe we should bring you to the ho..''
She suddenly got pulled into a hug. She wasn't expecting it at all. Neither was Boruto. It was just a reflex. Hinata was surprised but returned the hug.
''I-I-Ichiyu-kun?'' she stammered. ''A-Are you alright?''
Boruto grinned and let go of her. He quickly wiped away his tears and looked at her. ''Yeah sorry. It hurt for a bit but I'm okay now!'' he said. ''Thankyou for the bandages.''
She smiled softly at him and stood up. She quickly cleaned up the bloody knife and got a new one. ''Do you want to try again?'' she smiled.
Boruto, who wasn't expecting a second chance, quicky stood up and tried again. He took the knife and this time was more carefull with it. The carrot was cut into perfect little pieces.
Boruto smiled and raised his hand up to give Hinata a fist bump. Hinata returned this with a big smile. They finished their dish together and sat at the table.
…
''Hinata! This is delicious!'' he almost yelled with food in his mouth and quickly shut his mouth. He remembered his mother getting angry when he talked with his mouth full. But Hinata laughed at him and spoke up. ''Yes! But it couldn't be this delicious without your help Ichiyu-kun. The little pieces of the carrots made it perfect.'' She smiled at him and saw him raising his head up proudly.
''I'm glad you like it.'' He grinned and continued eating.
''Hey, who is this?'' someone said at the opening of the diner hall. Boruto and Hinata quickly looked at where the voice was coming from.
''Hanabi, do you want a bit? It's really delicious.'' Hinata said and offered her a plate.
Hanabi sat down on a chair next to Boruto and took the food. She tasted it. ''This is good! Who made it?''
Hinata smiled. ''Ichiyu-kun did. Ichiyu, this is my little sister Hanabi.''
Hanabi looked at Boruto and gave him a bored look. She obviously didn't care who he was but tried to be nice anyway. ''Hello. Nice to meet you.'' She said and continued eating.
Boruto quickly looked at Hanabi and smiled nervously. One of the few woman he was terribly afraid of in the future. His ant. His ant would pull the worst pranks on him, or give him advice about love. He didn't want to know anything about love but she always irritated him and did it on purpose to get on his nerves. Boruto once pulled a prank on her but she didn't take it quit too well. It involved around Konohamaru, his sensei and her boyfriend in the future. She got so pissed that she hung him up in a tree in his underwear. Boruto shivered at the thought of it. Everyone of the village saw him hanging there, including Sarada. He didn't know why but the one person he didn't want him to see was her. It was humiliating.
Boruto tried to not talk to her too much. What if she would say something weird to him? He wasn't in the mood for her her stupid pranks.
''Hello. My name is Ichiyu.'' He said politely and continued eating.
''Yeah, my sister already told your name.'' she said annoyed. Boruto's blood began boiling but he kept his mouth shut.
''So, do you live here in the village?'' she asked, trying her best to not be rude to him. She continued eating while starting up a conversation.
"Yeah. I live with Misoka. He's family of mine." he said and tried to stop the conversation as soon as possible. He doesn't want her to know too much about him. She figures everything out so quickly.
"Interesting, I've never seen you around before" she said with a curious tone and bored her eyes into his. "Hinata, doesn't he look awfully familiar?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Who do I remind you of?" Boruto asked nervously.
Hanabi waited for 2 seconds. She tried to remember his name. And then it got to her. "Naruto Uzumaki! Yeah! The guy you like Hinata." she said, happy that she figured it out and looked back at her sister. "Don't you think so?"
Hinata nervously looked at the two of them and when Hanabi suddenly began over Naruto she almost choked in her food. She quickly coughed and grabbed a napkin to cover her mouth. "Hanabi!" she almost yelled embarrassed for the way she just said that out loud. Is it that obvious she likes Naruto? Ichiyu and Hanabi both figured it out without ever telling them.
"Oh don't worry about it sis. I'm sure everyone already knows your little crush on him." she said with a grin and stood up. "Thanks for the meal." and wanted to walk away.
Boruto just sat there and waited for Hanabi to go away. She was way too annoying. Making Hinata embarrassed and getting on his nerves. He couldn't wait to get back in the future to make her pay.
Or.. Could he just do it now?
"Hanabi, before you go.." Boruto said and stood up. Hanabi turned around curiously.
Boruto laughed evilly in himself but his face remained calm. He can't screw this oppurtunity up.
"I just think you make a great couple with Konohamaru!" he smiled and waited for her reaction.
The problem was that he didn't know for sure that Hanabi and Konohamaru already knew each other in this time period, so if she didn't know him his plan would be bad. But luckily for him he saw Hanabi getting red all of a sudden. She looked just like Hinata when she got red.
"E-Eh? What a-are you talking about?" she stammered and her hands turned into fists. She liked Konohamaru a lot but never had the courage to tell him. They never hanged out together but she just watched him from far away getting stronger. She liked the way he never gave up on surpassing Naruto. It made herself stronger as well. One day she wants to surpass her own sister and wants to become the Hyuga heiress. She still has a long to go but she believes she can do it.
"Yeah. I mean you two just look great together don't you think?" he smiled and clasped his hands together. "I hope you two will get together someday!" he said happily, knowing she would get irritated by the way he was acting.
Hanabi got furious but just turned around and walked away. I will get him some day! she said into herself.
..
Hinata watched her sister leaving the room, embarrassed. She couldn't keep her giggles in and began laughing.
"I didn't know she liked Konohamaru! How did you know Ichiyu-kun?" she asked while Boruto began cleaning up the plates.
"I talked with Konohamaru a few days ago. When I saw your little sister I just thought they would be a nice couple don't you think?" he bluffed and when he saw Hinata nodding, he was glad he came up with a good excuse.
They both cleaned up everything and Boruto had to go back. He needed to see Kakashi for the search mission. He walked out the door and turned around before leaving. "See ya Hinata! We should do this more often." and he left.
Hinata smiled and waved him goodbye. She liked hanging out with Ichiyu. Today was a fun day, more fun than other days. She made a good friend and she hopes to see him more often.
She went back inside and wrote everything in her diary. How she made a new friend named Ichiyu.
..
It was still daytime and the sun was at its brightest. Boruto walked on the streets and tried to find Kakashi. He finally found him standing against a tree while reading a book. Boruto thought he saw him bleeding out of his nose. What was he reading?
When Boruto got closer, he saw what he was reading. 'Icha Icha' he read what literally meant 'Make out'. Boruto just shook his head.
"Kakashi-sensei! When are we going to go on our mission?" he asked and Kakashi jumped at the sudden voice. His book fell on the ground and he quickly grabbed it again.
"Damn! Now I lost the page I was at" he said with a sigh and looked at Boruto. "We are going tomorrow. You should pack your bags and meet us at the gate in the morning."
Boruto smiled. He is finally going on a mission with his dad! He can't wait to see how his father is going to show him a lot of awesome tricks and jutsu's.
"Remember, this is only a search mission so no fighting." Kakashi already saw Boruto's face gleaming with excitement and couldn't help to smile himself. He needs to make sure Boruto doesn't make any stupid moves around Naruto. It could lead to a change in the future and that could be troublesome.
Boruto just grinned and walked away to pack his back at home. He was way to excited for the mission.
