(A/N): Hello again loyal followers, I'm running a bit late but it was quite the leap in my previous writing to make this chapter, so I will thank you all for baring with me. I'll try to keep pushing the fanfic forward to the best of my ability.
IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ: I realize that I was promising Itineraries of the Uchiha Heiress this week, but upon developing the chapter I realized there was quite a bit of content that I wanted to put before diving into backstory. These inputs are very important I feel for the story so I expanded upon them and... Well they sorta ended up fulfilling chapter on their own. I deeply apologize to any of you that were looking forward to reading about the tale of Sarada in this chapter, and hope you'd find it in your heart to forgive me.
There was quite the response to the last chapter that far exceeded my expectations! Thus, let us all celebrate in that with addressing the REVIEWS!

Hanmac: Well some things can't be helped. As for lodging I guess that would this chapter's job to decide neh?(
Silbernacht: I won't make promises, but I'll try.
Chlsmch: I hear your request and processing the it. Processing takes time, so please be patient with me ^^'.
Scarease: Great now I'm running scenarios of Sarada trying to convince Orochimaru she is the better target to save her dad... A great fanfic idea actually, but is it mine? No? Yes? Maybe? 42?! On a serious note I'm sure she and the others are aware of some risk although probably not the full extent.
ManaZero: …. (/turns to his advisers/ Me: We have leak who has been made aware for my plans?
Imaginary staff: N-no one sir! Just the imaginary Beta readers you keep wishing for /sweat drops frantically/

Imaginary staff: /flees to the corner of the mindscape/ Can't we talk about this?!

I-I can't confirm or deny these accusations... but I assure you Himawari will show up in the story.
SkyBlue24: Well he has an excellent opportunity to do so in person, the rest is up to Bolt.
Reading Pixie: 0.o... o.0... o.o... I thought Sasuke being mean was canon.. Thank you for supporting the chapter ^^'
(A/N): Well it seems you are all eager for whats to come, given it some thought, and most importantly allowed me to receive your thoughts with your reviews. I truly appreciate the feedback. As for matters to address I've recently began reading a Boruto movie novel translation that is in progress. I regret to inform you that while I will attempt to reconcile differences, I may be incapable of making as coherent as I would like (although my Boruto makes it a little hard regardless eh?)
With that weighing on me I thought I'd consider hearing your opinions on it. Just add it to your review, I don't want to rule it through pole decision but hearing your ideas and input along with your choice may help me reflect on it more.
With that done, let's commence with the chapter!
The young heiress stood reclined in shock as her mind swirled to process what was just uttered. Ha... How?! How did he figure it out?! The young Uchiha fretted internally scrambling to piece together her response only to realize the elder Shinobi had merely chosen to lean on the wall to read his book.
"... Oi..." Sarada snarled disliking the sudden lack of attention.
"Mhm? Yes?" Kakashi shot back immediately startling the young Kunoichi again.
After some pause to recover from the second shock she straightened her posture and adjusted her glaces. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Me an Uchiha?! That's just silly~!" The heiress smiled. It's alright! It's alright! I just need to convince him I'm not an Uchiha, I always get away with this stuff with my senseis! She assured herself maintaining her smile giving off a glinting star of confidence.
…... She is really bad at this... The future Rokudaime Hokage observed. "Ah, my apologies on mistaking your identity." He apologized closing his book and walking further ahead.
"Ah! N-no need to apologize its a common mistake really!" Sarada sputtered erratically catching up to the silver haired Shinobi, who turned to face the young Kunoichi again. "I mean with my natural abilities, brimming determination, and not to mention my looks!" The Uchiha heiress boasted as stars glinted off her face.
Kakashi's face wore a blank expression as it slowly accumulated sweat drops more and more sporadically as the the child boasted on. This may be an issue... The elder Shinobi worried to himself
"So it's only natural for someone to make that sort of mistake." Sarada ended readjusting her glasses with a triumphant grin.
The future Rokudaime Hokage balled his hand into a fist and brought it before his mouth while averting his eyes. Just how do I proceed from here... oh boy... He sighed. "Well that's interesting to hear... Since the Hokage will likely giving me a proper briefing for this mission, which would include at least how much they know from you." The Silver haired Shinobi divulged as the young Kunoichi began to deflate.
Of course... Lying was entirely pointless! All I did was just make myself look like an idiot now! Inner Sarada whimpered while clasping the side of her head. "Ha.. ha...ha.. right..." The Uchiha female muttered defeated. Why is it not a single thing has gone my way since I've gotten here? Its just like back then...
Hmmm... atmosphere has gotten pretty awkward. Kakashi pondered his next move as he scratched the side of his temple with his index finger. "Sarada..." He called out to the distressed Genin.
"Mhmm?" The young Kunoichi answered now facing up to the elder Shinobi.
"I realize that there are somethings that you can't tell me and that I likely shouldn't know, but..." He began then turned his gaze towards the horizon. "You should rely on your comrades more. I rudely interrupted you before, but if anything troubles you, you should confide in your comrade." Kakashi explained.
"Ha! That teme?! Like any good would come from talking to that arrogant, self righteous-" Sarada tried to dismiss.
"Friend?" The future Rokudaime hokage interrupted.
The Uchiha heiress pressed her lips staring downwards. I know my feelings, but what are his? "I guess..." She wondered.
"See? Its not that hard." The elder Shinobi smiled. "It's not easy to grow to trust others... Naruto has struggled with that all his life, but he is still willing to give those the benefit of the doubt; he is still willing to bet on the good in others." He added gaining attention from the young Uchiha before casting a more serious glare. "If you are going to survive this, you two will have to rely on one another, and that goes for more than just coordinating in battle. It would not be an exaggeration to say it's not the battlefield that is the Shinobi's greatest trail, but the respite between them. Many great Shinobi have broken down and been left incapable of moving forward." He explained.
Sarada listen intently gulping in the pause he had given.
Walking forward on the trail towards their destination, the silver haired Shinobi turned one last gaze backwards. "And that is something you simply cannot afford, not when you are putting every one of your comrade's life on the line" Kakashi finished as they continued the rest of their journey in silence.
The pair eventually arrived to a small but beautiful house. A wooden plank sat to the side of the entrance to the front that Sarada read as 'Yuhi', but it wasn't a title she recognized.
Kakashi knocked against the wooden door so lightly she could barely pick it up.
So it must be a Jounin? Not even the average Shinobi would pick up on anything that- Sarada began to ponder the identity of the home owner as she noticed the door sliding open.
"Kakashi?" A woman's voice called out from the door.
"Sorry for dropping by unannounced like this." He greeted while nervously scratching the back of his head. "But I recently had some unexpected circumstances pop up and I'd really appreciate it if you could put up this girl... Just for the night if possible." The silver haired Shinobi continued pointing towards the raven haired girl.
"Hmm?" The elder Kunoichi pondered nearing the younger Kunoichi, and exposing herself to the moonlight.
That's..! Sarada gasped as she absorbed the features of the host candidate.
"Why hello there, my name is Kurenai Yuhi." The Kunoichi introduced herself to the Uchiha heiress with a warm smile.
No way! That's Kurenai oba-san; Mirai's m-mother! The onyx eyed Kunoichi gawked wide eyed.
With the lack of response from the young Kunoichi, Kurenai fixed her eyes on her old comrade with an expectant look.
The silver haired Shinobi maintained the eye contact long enough to show he acknowledged her gaze but then averted his eyes causing Kurenai to furrow her brows.
Is the situation really complicated enough that you can't tell me? The untamed hair Kunoichi worried over the implications and turned her gaze towards the girl he had brought. Consequently, she was forced to react in a slight startle at the intense stare the young Kunoichi was projecting.
Even with the untamed hair there is no denying it... She's gorgeous! Wow, as expected of Marai's mother in her prime! Sarada marveled at the fine Kunoichi before her. The uchiha had always greatly admired Maria as an ideal to strive her much like her mother and the Godaime Hokage, and while the latter where far off goals she strove to become. Maria was everything she had wanted to become this exact second. Maria was talented, outgoing, confident, powerful, skilled, and renowned Kunoichi that had always been like an Onee-san to her generation. The young Sarutobi had ascended through the ranks at unbelievable pace and was now trusted to act as a guard of the retired Rokudaime Hokage. The young Uchiha had always dreamed the day she would catch up to her and be able to face as a rival candidate for the future Hokage. The Uchiha heiress unknowingly intensified her glare with every passing moment.
Well she is certainly... interesting... The elder Kunoichi chuckled lightly before turning towards her old comrade. "Actually, Kakashi today might not be the best time I'm so-" The rose eye Kunoichi began.
"Ah~" Kakshi interrupted exaggerating a fake realization while rubbing his chin. "I do apologize Kurenai, I wasn't aware it was such a inconvenient time~" The silver haired Shinobi sneered.
A jolt passed through the elder Kunoichi as a blush ran across her face while the younger Kunoichi merely raised a brow confused over the exchange. "Tha-that's!... It's nothing like that! Don't go off getting odd ideas!" She lectured with a hint of annoyance.
"Glad to hear it, I'll be leaving her in your care then!" The future Rokudaime hokage announced.
"Uh... wai-" Kurenai babbled as her dismissive facade collapsed into a grave expression.
"I'll send her companion to pick her up in the morning thanks again Kurenai~!" Kakashi chimed already having fled several meters from the Kunoichi's house leaving the near statue state Kurenai with the happy young admirer.
Hmm... I wonder if it's really alright... Kakashi pondered several dozen meters from departure of the house. Hmmm... well I'm sure its fine right? He excused himself with a tone highlighting the irresponsibility.
…...Besides... The silver haired Shinobi uttered as he activated his body flicker technique and appeared on a nearby rooftop. "You should be more careful. Your eavesdropping is rather sloppy is that really the best you can do in your old age?" He taunted.
"You talk as if I was actually attempting to hide my presence from you..." The dark figure scoffed approaching as a distinctive tap of a cane rang with each step.
The future Rokudaime gave no response as he observed the man enter the moonlight seemingly annoyed of having to reveal himself in the light. "Would you care to explain yourself or shall I report this to the Sandaime hokage right this second?" He threatened the now illuminated figure.
"I was hoping you'd see it my way and perhaps cooperate with me as the Sandaime is acting like a fool again..." The bandaged man spouted with obvious contempt.
"That's never going to happen..." The silver haired Shinobi countered coldly.
"Are you so sure? I think we had quite the productive business relationship until you betrayed me." Danzo snickered.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes on the elder Shinobi.
"After all us two together nearly succeeded in eliminating a great threat to the safety of the village... Or have you so easily forgotten that you once tried to assassinate the very man you are trying to flee to report me now?" The bandaged man grinned as the recipient of the sentence tensed his hands into fist in fury.
"That is not going to happen again... I have nothing to do with you now Danzo..." The copycat ninja proclaimed trying to calm his nerves and prevent himself from getting roped into the man's provocations.
"Well that's fine because this isn't about me. It never has been you see; It's always been about the village and this road towards destruction the Sandaime has lead us down, yet now the opportunity has presented itself to rectify and prevent such disasters." Danzo pointed out.
"As the Sandaime has ordered, you and nobody else for that matter is allowed to approach my new Genin." Kakashi reiterated.
"Sandaime, Sandaime... What happened to the bright skilled Shinobi I recruited all those years ago-" The bandage man began to recount with slight euphoria.
"I was shown what a monster you are." The future Rokudaime Hokage interrupted finding his patience wearing thinner and thinner with the conversation.
"You realize the Sandaime won't be around forever do you not? After his passing the village will be forced to suffer for his failures and that of your sensei's as well. The Sandaime, Jiraya, and Yondaime... failures each and every last one leading to one devastation after another..." Danzo explained.
"You have no right to judge any of them! Each one of them is or was a greater man than you; especially my sensei. You failed to overtake the Sandaime Hokage and are nothing but a grumbling old man, who the world is passing by." Kakashi retorted.
"Hmph... Kakashi you are not one to lecture about the past or future. You are fixated on the past more than anyone else, on your failures, your mistakes... What did you tell that girl about moving forward? Who are you of all people to lecture people on the past much less on matter pertaining the future..." The elder Shinobi scoffed.
"That future is up to the next generation to decide neither you or I have any sway in that matter. They will surpass us and with their comrades forge their future." The future Rokudaime hokage declared turning to leave having had all he could tolerate of the conversation.
"Yes, I recall the little tidbit of relying on your comrades you gave her..." The bandaged man chuckled before allowing a the darkness to consume his face once more. "Tell me Kakashi how many of your comrades do you even have left?" Danzo taunted.
At the sentence uttered the silver haired Shinobi caved to his aggression turning rapidly running towards the elder Shinobi.
"Who are you to give false hopes in comradery?! You who had two comrades die in your very arms! You who have blood of a comrade in your very hands! You who could do nothing but watch as the Kyuubi took your sensei and his wife from this world! How long are you going to content to be powerless to change anything Kakashi?!" The bandage man ranted on as the silver haired Shinobi rapidly approached.
As Kakashi closed the finaly foot gap Danzo instantly raised his palm by his head causing him and the Shinobi who had suddenly intercepted him to halt. "No need for such barbarities... I've said what I've come to say." The elder Shinobi mused.
Are these root Shinobi?! The silver haired ninja concluded. "Root was suppose to be disbanded... Danzo just what is going on here?" He inquired.
"I am taking the necessary steps to save our village Kakashi..." Danzo divulged. "I'm beginning to revive the best hope we have, root. You all have been living far too long in the light; the Sandaime has lead you all into it and blinded you all. This small respite of peace that this new generation has experienced has left even you, the survivors that have witnessed how this world of Shinobi truly is, blind and incapable of taking the necessary steps." He explained.
"Just what are you-" The copycat Shinobi began to question.
"You can't even see it can you? The storms gathering over the horizon... You blinded in the sun have no place as Shinobi. We who dwell in the shadows see with clarity the storms that are rapidly approaching us... Enjoy the end of this era of peace and the veil of ignorance the Sandaime has shrouded you behind. Both of them are coming to an end..." The bandaged man warned. "At that time I hope you will have come to see things my way again Kakashi. For your own sake and that of your Genin squad too." He threatened once more.
"Whatever schemes you have planned they'll fail like all your other ones..." Kakashi retorted.
"You still think this is about me you fool?! Make no mistake Kakashi you and me are nothing but pieces in a game that will consume this world. That said... You are wrong, the future belongs to those that are willing to grasp it by the reins by any means necessary. We have been given the future, dropped in our very laps! We only need to reach out and take it! Stop babbling about pointless ideals of the Sandaime that have doomed us to this fate to begin with." Danzo ranted pausing to catch his breath and recomposing himself. "Considering this a courtesy of our previous relationship. I am openly making you aware that from this moment on I shall stop at nothing to have those children transferred over to my authority" He proclaimed.
"I'll never allow that, and I won't join in another one of your plans again." The silver haired Shinobi responded immediately.
"We'll see... I'm confident that when the time comes you'll make the correct decision, but make no mistake my plans won't be halted by your opinion." Danzo commented as the group disappeared through body flicker leaving Kakashi alone on the rooftop.
Just what was Danzo talking about? What is coming? Kakashi worried as he stared up towards the moon. There is an ominous feeling I'm getting and I doubt I'm going to enjoy finding out what that is. He concluded staring up towards the night sky sinking in a feeling of dread. However... The silver haired Shinobi gripped his kunai tightly. No matter what happens I won't allow them to destroy the future. He vowed as an image of his old Genin squad and his new future traveler Genin flashed through his mind. That's right as long as they exist there will be a future, and it's the job of us adults to protect it until they are ready! Until the next generation is ready to take on the responsibility!. The Shinobi continued as he brought forth an image of Minato. I won't fail you again!
Within the Yuhi household as Kurenai had finished serving the now seated Sarada some tea.
"So Sarada was it?" The elder Kunoichi smiled.
"Yes! I'm glad to meet you!" The Uchiha heiress beamed.
"Is that so...?" Kurenai inquired smiling nervously. It was not as if she doubted her capabilities as a Kunoichi, which she was actually quite proud of, but she was troubled wondering what she could have possibly have done to earn such admiration from the young Kunoichi.
"It's an honor! I always love meeting great Kunoichi, you are inspirations for us Kunoichi to live up to!" Sarada boomed waving her fist ecstatically. She's soo cool!
"Well..." The rose eyed Kunoichi averted her gaze towards her bedroom. "Say Sarada you're a full fledged Kunoichi right?" She guessed while not being entirely sure of the status of the younger female.
"Yep! I'm even going to compete in the Chunin Exams!" The Uchiha female assured her.
"The Chunin Exams..." Kurenai reiterated concerned that the girl was too young, but shaking off the feeling since she also planned to have her young Genin team participate. "My, my you certainly are lovely young woman. I'm sure you'll grow to be a great Kunoichi." She praised the young Kunoichi.
She complemented me on becoming a great Kunoichi and said I was lovely! Sarada squealed with joy at being praised by someone she so greatly admired.
The elder Kunoichi narrowed her eyes graping the Uchiha by the shoulders. "Now Sarada you do recall that the most important thing of Shinobi as the ability to keep a secret right? No doubt such a talented young Kunoichi would understand the importance of a secret between us Kunoichi right?" Kurenai coaxed the young admirer.
"HAI! You better believe it!" The Uchiha heiress exclaimed with all her might. I can't believe this is happening we are already sharing secrets just us Kunoichi to Kunoichi! She marveled. For Sarada who had not had the opportunity to bond closely with many of the Kunoichi in her life, this was almost too much for her to bare.
"Great! Now you can borrow my extra futon, I'll see you in the morning." The rose eyed Kunoichi grinned setting up the futon for Sarada in the guest room while she retreated back to the bedroom.
"Okay?" The onyx eyed Kunoichi uttered to the distant figure of the elder Kunoichi as she raised a brow. Hmmm? What's the secret? The Uchiha female pondered as she crept into her futon. Is she going to tell me tomorrow? Sarada giggled with anticipation until she could swear the existence of a distant murmur. The words or even the general syllables, nothing but faint murmurs before a following silence.
Had the Uchha heiress had realized it would be the last moment of silence she would experience that night, she would've gladly fled back to the cold park bench.
A hunched Sarada walked forward casting a downward glace as the clear features of sleep deprivation painted her face.
"You seemed to have failed to complete you nocturnal cycle what oc-" The disguised brunette Boruto began to inquire.
"Shut it teme!" The Uchiha heiress scowled making it clear she was in no mood to recollect what had occurred.
"What's her beef?" Naruto whined walking besides his now distanced son.
"I am uncertain to the exact nature of the situation; she merely mutters 'thin walls are evil, thin walls are evil' repetitively and refuses to elaborate." The now brunette reported to his father.
"Hmm... man girls don't make any sense no matter what time their from huh?" The Jinchuriki concluded.
"On that I concur..." The future male agreed without hesitation as he turned to face the arrival of the last member.
Soon after the brunette turned to face the vacant ground the silver haired Shinobi had suddenly appeared through body flicker.
"You're lat-" The now whiskerless child tried to nag.
"You're early!?" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed in shock. As even Sasuke raised his brows at the sudden punctuality of their sensei.
"Kakashi only 1 minute late?!" The pink haired Kunoichi gawked.
"No way I don't believe it! It has to be a fake!" The whiskered child accused.
"Hnn... you may be right for once dope..." The Uchiha male agreed.
"Somehow, I get the feeling you are all seriously doubting my reliability..." Kakashi narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "But completely baseless accusations aside..."
Yeah right! The original team seven spat mentally.
"I have a your assigned patrol areas around the village. Each of you will be in charge of monitoring your areas with Sarada's area being in the middle of the village since she is the only one the third traveler would recognize. Boruto I'll need you to create four clones to fill up the areas not currently assigned to the others; I created these areas as the maximum ground any one person could cover effectively." The silver haired Shinobi explained.
"Hey! I can make like fifty clones easy! Why does the kid have that duty?!" Naruto protested.
"Because you running around with dozens of clones would attract too much attention and correct my if I'm wrong, but... Your capacity to properly transform them all into separate identities and have them maintain cover is still lacking. Face it Naruto if there was a time to prove you could be subtle enough for this you've missed it. Don't start asking now that the mission is on the line." Kakashi lectured the boy.
"Hrn... muh... fine!" The Jinchuriki conceded.
Whoa... Kakashi sensei is really serious about this. Unless its life or death he usually lets Naruto stumble up on his own mistakes... Oh man what have we gotten ourselves into that could make him act like this?! I knew Sasuke-kun and I should have just walked away!. Sakura fretted.
"You will switch areas every hour with your neighbor in a clockwise pattern around the center of the Konoha to avoid drawing suspicion. Sarada and I will be pretending to practice at an old academy training ground in the center of the village so we can remain available." The future Rokudaime hokage continued.
He's put a lot of thought into this, but this seems a little beyond just not drawing attention... There has to be more to it than blind paranoia. Sasuke contemplated.
"Yah... Yah... Can we hurry up and go already?" Naruto complained growing tired of standing around.
"Not yet..." The silver haired Shinobi commanded pulling out seven silver bells.
"Huh? What are the bells for?" The cerulean eyed child inquired.
"These are special bells that only ring by channeling chakra through them. Its not complicated. In fact you might accidentally trigger them if you use any chakra." The copycat Shinobi explained as he gave a demonstration by activating all the bells.
"They don't appear to be functioning." Boruto commented standing besides the still recovering Uchiha female.
"These bells transmit a low frequency signal only picked up by ninja dogs." The future Rokudaime hokage divulged.
"So they are so we can signal if we find her?" Sakura guessed.
"Yes and no..." The silver hair Shinobi corrected. "Yes, you should ring the bell if you find her, but that is not its only purpose."
"Well c'mon out with it!" Naruto whined.
"Alright..." The elder Shinobi agreed placing the bells in each of their hands. "First off I need you all to understand that this is a S-rank mission and that's putting it lightly... So frankly none of you are anywhere near qualified for it. This not a time to play Shinobi, this is a time to be Shinobi and that means caution. If at any point in your patrol you notice anything the slightest bit suspicious, ring those bells. Don't hesitate, don't wait, and above all else don't try to investigate it yourself, just ring the bell!" Kakashi warned casting a serious expression on the expanded team seven.
Naruto and Sakura stood processing the information after a gulp, while even Sasuke found himself shedding a cold sweat.
For a priority shift like this, there is no doubt something has transpired. The now brunette child concluded although he was still very satisfied with the precautions and measures taken.
"OK! Let's get started! I'm finally recharged and nothing is getting in the way of me recovering Hima-chan!" Sarada boomed drawing the attention of everyone; shocking Kakashi into a wide eyed gaze at the ecstatic Kunoichi.
"That's right! Let's nail this S-rank mission and show that we aren't just kid's with Shinobi gear!" The Jinchuriki cheered.
"Hnn..." The Uchiha male smirked. To think I let myself get psyched out, how lame.
"There is never any stopping you idiots is there?" The pink haired Kunoichi whimpered. Retrieval is something even I can do, alright Sakura it's time to soak the limelight and finally catch up to the boys! Inner Sakura roared eager to show herself as a valuable member of team seven.
"..." The future Rokudaime hokage stood gawking at the display of confidence suddenly being reminded of Obito, Minato, and the Sandaime hokage. I almost forgot the most important thing didn't I? He scoffed at himself. It's that spark that we are suppose to protect, the will of fire. To think I was so weak to let Danzo trick me into almost extinguishing it again... The silver haired Shinobi scolded himself as he straightened up to address the team again. Hmm... but its still way too soon to let these kids show up us adults. "You guys seem rather energetic for a bunch of slackers..." He chimed.
"Wah?!" Naruto growled.
"Oh? What else should a call a slacking punk that can't even conduct basic recon? You've shown that you can't even sneak up on a sleeping cat; you can't even prove yourself competent enough to handle D rank missions. You think S will be your time to shine? Please..." Kakashi taunted.
"Why...! I'll show you! I'm gonna be the Nanadaime Hokage, and you are gonna have to acknowledged I'm the best Shinobi in the whole village!" The whiskered child countered.
"Nanadaime? So you're saying you are only going to be the third best and wait around for your turn like a desperate beggar?" The future Rokudaime mocked. "As for you Mr. Avenger... Do you need to take a break and sit this one out because for a moment there you looked to paralyzed in fear to even move. I once again find myself wondering if all the Uchihas were all hype..." He smirked.
At that moment the air seemingly raised in temperature as a blonde stood brewing forth anger while flanked by the side by matching raven haired comrades with similar emotions.
"Ah, passive as ever Sakura? Well I suppose your teammates are already use to making up for it, so I suppose you could just sit there. After all, there is no guarantee the future traveler will spawn in your route. Go ahead, take a break you can spend your time prepping up your hair since its so obviously worked towards your other 'objectives'." The elder Shinobi mused.
"Kah!" The pink haired Kunoichi groaned. I WILL BREAK YOU SHANAROOOO! Inner Sakura raged furiously.
"Hmph, the calm collective type that always thinks he's above everyone else in the team. Just now many times am I going to have to break in cocky brats?" The silver haired Shinobi began.
"You'll have to construct a far better provocation to arouse my interest in the slightest." The now brunette child responded.
"I suppose you're right after you are more talk than Sasuke. You end up stranded here with no money just freeloading off another kid, you were captured within your second day of arrival, you had to have every scrap of information explained to you were unable to figure out anything on your own, you were thrown at the mercy of the Sandaime hokage and are totally incapable of assuring your own safety, let alone your sisters, and what was that about surpassing a god? You may as well be the spitting image of your father in one category: hot air. You're full of it." Kakashi ranted a small list of blemishes in the future child's own image of himself.
He's the Rokudaime hokage... He's the Rokudaime hokage.. He's... s-such insolence! Boruto attempted his best to swallow his rage, yet still spawned several pulsing veins on his his head.
Well with that it seems they're all pretty fired up. The future Rokudaime hokage chuckled. "Team seven proceed with the mission!" He announced as the individual Genin went off to their assigned areas. Can you see them Yondaime? A fine batch from the new generation... and I guess even the one after that... The will of fire will persevere through them. And I vow no matter what storms lay ahead I will never abandon my comrades again or fall off the path through deception.
(A/N): Again my deepest apologize for presenting a chapter as a bit of an unexpected in between to Itineraries of the Uchiha Heiress. I swear I did not do it to try to cheat you on content splitting a chapter needlessly as you can see by the sheer size of this one already. Trust me I really, really wanted to include it in this chapter but it is already far to massive and even had its own capacity to wrap itself up for a single installation of the story.
After writing out the following parts of the story this one seemed to fit better chronologically at this time, but I won't excuse myself for failing any of you looking forward to Sarada's story and promise I'll be right on it in the next chapter.
REVIEW tell me your thoughts (and feel free to punish me for failing you) follow if you are interested in the story, and please fav if you like it.
