The morning was as hectic as Sarada expected with the hokage's family living in their home. Sarada and Himawari had bunked in the same room, due to her father's insistence that Boruto stay away from her. Now, he feels overprotective. Their house had a guest room where Boruto crashed, and the hokage and his wife slept in the extra bedroom. Due to how noisy it had gotten with the extra family staying with them Sarada was up earlier than usual, and walked to the bathroom to find it was blocked by none other Boruto Uzumaki, while the other was being used by her father. However, Himawari's presence was a blessing. She'd always socialized with boys so having another girl in her home was rare treat. She liked Himawari's bubbly attitude and how mature she was for her age. Having the hokage at their home was more of an honor than anything. She grew quite fond of him and was unable to see anything that Boruto couldn't like.
After the struggle known as breakfast had passed, the families sat down in the living room and discussed last night's events. Sarada found it quite intriguing, especially the hokage's recount of his clash with Haru. When she met him on their first mission Sarada never guessed that Haru was capable of such evil and capable of fighting off the seventh hokage, who had told her to call him Uncle Naruto. It was awkward to refer to him so informally, but decided it was only fair since Boruto called her father 'Old Man Sasuke', not that she had any complaints. She found her father's nickname to be quite amusing. So far that was the only thought about her father that made her smile. The description of Haru's abilities confused Sarada. How could a man with no chakra use abilities similar to ninjutsu? The concept was difficult for her to stomach. Himawari was completely knocked out for the majority of her ordeal so she couldn't add anything regarding their enemy's abilities. They all agreed it was for the best that she couldn't remember anything.
Finally Uncle Naruto had gotten up out of his seat for what Sarada assumed was an announcement. "I'm gonna head over to the interrogation division, and see exactly what our prisoners will tell us."
"I'll come with you." Her father announced as well. Of course he'll go. Sarada didn't know why he had to go with him. The hokage should be enough.
"I'm going too." Boruto's announcement didn't surprise Sarada but it did bother her a little bit.
"Sorry Boruto, but this isn't something you should be there for." Uncle Naruto sounded as if he had anticipated his son's actions.
"These guys know who killed Aunt Hanabi and they tried to kidnap Hima. There's no way I'm staying here!" Boruto stance had become violent.
"Boruto, this isn't something-" Uncle Naruto was cut off by her father.
"It's okay Naruto. He can come."
"What are you talking about Sasuke?"
"I think your son deserves a chance to confront these prisoners."
"No offense, but since when did you take such an interest in what's best for my son?"
"Since he became my student." Her father clearly relished the look of surprise on Uncle Naruto's face. Sarada herself found that Lady Hinata and Himawari were equally surprised.
"But what-when. How? How did I not know about this?" Uncle Naruto stammered to his son who opened his mouth to respond with likely something insulting, only for Sarada's father to save the day.
"I told him not to tell you. I thought it would be a great surprise when he came home one day and showed all the cool new techniques I taught him, but progress has been slow given the situation." Her father had taken the best way to get under Uncle Naruto's skin and one-up him. She was rather amused by this scene actually.
"Fine. Then just wait and see when I teach Sarada all kinds of new techniques!" Uncle Naruto's sudden declaration shocked Sarada like a lightning bolt.
"Wait. What?" Sarada said, before her father could.
"C'mon Sarada." Uncle Naruto came up to her practically begging. "It'll be great being my student."
"You're serious?" Sarada could tell that he was, but the suddenness of the situation took all other words from her mouth.
"I'm afraid he is Sarada." Her mother said. "The hokage and you father don't joke when it comes to things like this."
"Okay. Alright!" She pumped fist in the air, with the hokage behaving in the same enthusiastic manner as her.
"Alright Sarada. You're coming with us too then." Uncle Naruto practically dragged Sarada with them in his enthusiasm. "Let's show your dad whose better."
Sarada smiled wide at the hokage's words as they left the house after giving their goodbyes. Boruto simply scoffed with a smile at the whole idea just like her father did. Yeah Uncle Naruto. Let's show my dad.
The interrogation division was as one would expect. Dark, gloomy, a sense danger hanging on the air, with shinobi in black coats walking around. Boruto found it rather depressing, but that's how it should be. Prisoners aren't supposed to have hope; they are at the complete mercy of their captors. In the lobby he was surprised to find two familiar figures there standing beside his father's right-hand man Shikamaru.
"Konohamaru-sensei. Mitsuki. What are you guys doing here?" Boruto asked.
"I was wondering the same thing." his father added.
"I asked them to come here." Shikamaru answered. "Konohamaru was the leader of the mission that resulted in the leaf's first encounter with Haru Chinatsu. It seemed best that he be a part of this, and Mitsuki has something he'd like to share." He gestured over to Boruto's silver-haired friend. "But he'll share that after we talk to our prisoners." His father and Old Man Sasuke looked at Mitsuki with scrutinizing expressions, before following Shikamaru into the prison hold.
There were six relatively spacious glowing purple domes set up. Inside each was single person, whom Boruto assumed were Haru's men. Shikamaru turned to them. "Given our enemies' abilities we had to use special means of imprisoning them. It's special 7-layer barrier ninjutsu, that's as powerful as the one that was used to seal the Ten-Tails during the war." Shikamaru said.
"You didn't spare any effort coming up with this did you?" his father asked Shikamaru.
"It's not fool proof. Since these guys don't use chakra that runs out, but pure natural energy that's virtually infinite, this was actually the only thing we could do." There was a bit of disappointment in Shikamaru's voice. Boruto was just impressed by the sheer depth of what he was witnessing.
"You did good Shikamaru." He put a reassuring hand on his friend's shoulder. "So which of these guys is the leader?"
"It's him." Shikamaru took them to the dome that contained a man with long brown-hair. "He calls himself Jet. But he's the second-in-command. The guy you fought was the leader."
Jet was sitting on the floor meditating. He opened his eyes and smiled at them. A smile that seemed familiar. "How about that? Sasuke Uchiha from last night and the seventh hokage. And the two little genin from Haru's former town." He gestured to Boruto and Mitsuki. Boruto didn't recognize the man until Mitsuki spoke up.
"You're the man that Boruto and I fought on our mission aren't you?" Mitsuki wasn't asking, he was sure.
"That's right boys. Nice to see you again." He said to them mockingly. "So what exactly can I do for you?"
"Why did you kidnap my sister?!" Boruto spoke up first.
"Because you were a failure." Jet replied casually.
"What was-"
"Boruto." His father put a hand on his shoulder to calm him.
"What do you mean by that?" His father said taking over the conversation.
"Let me explain. Through you hokage, your children are descended from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, from the byakugan princess they are descended from Hamura Otsutsuki. Of course the merging of the two main bloodlines descended from Kaguya would produce something interesting to say the least. But as it seems only your daughter possesses that full power." Jet explained.
"You mean because my daughter possesses the byakugan and my son does not."
"Exactly. Your son is not weak by any means. He is simply of no use to us." Jet finished explaining. Boruto was having trouble getting to grips with this whole thing. These people wanted his sister because of her heritage, that wasn't fair by any means.
"So now we come to the next question. What did you plan to do with my daughter?" His father's tone was growing darker.
"Underneath this village through the Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine, you'll find your answer."
Old Man Sasuke seemed to be affected by Jet's explanation. It made sense considering his clan's relation to it. He turned to Sarada who was wearing a similar expression. These two are more alike than either would care to admit.
Now it was Old Man Sasuke's turn to ask the questions. He pulled out a small flat carving of wood from his pocket. "Does this mean anything to you?" He asked Jet.
He scrutinized the item that was held up to him. "It's nothing special. It's just part of story. There used be a tradition. A priest would wear a pendant like that that represented our people's state in relation to the descendants of the moon. The Otsutsuki had an affinity for the moon, and our people had a certain affinity for the sun. This one has partial eclipses on both sides representing our back and forth conflict with the Otsutsuki." Jet's explanation didn't make much sense. This talk of Otsutsuki and descendants of the moon didn't register with Boruto very well, but it seemed to make sense to his father and Sasuke.
"So what's the end of the story?" Old Man Sasuke asked.
"That should be obvious. Our people dwindled in population and were forced underground by the Otsutsuki. I'm betting that the pedant corresponding to our current state would have a solar eclipse on both sides." Jet sounded slightly melancholy.
"And what exactly are your people?" This time it was Konohamaru-sensei asking.
"We came to be called the Sol. But we are completely human." Jet sounded quite proud.
"How can any human have no chakra, and manipulate natural energy so flawlessly and without any repercussions?" His father asked.
"Time for a history lesson it seems." Jet sighed as he took a seat on the floor. "You see, before Kaguya Otsutsuki and her clan came down to Earth, humans had no concept of chakra, but they were far from powerless. Humans use whatever means came to them for war, one of those ways was the direct manipulation of pure natural energy. Mind you back then, the ones who learned that ability were those who had little interest in war, but participated nonetheless. They were travelers, nomads, vagabonds. Those who had time to learn it, instead of constantly warring. However, when Kaguya consumed the Chakra fruit and her sons Hagoromo and Hamura spread chakra throughout humanity, that foreign substance interfered with the flow of natural energy and humanity became unable to freely control natural energy as they once could. There were few who were able to escape that fate, and they came to be know as Sol. Due the sheer overwhelming numbers of the Chakra users as well the fact that there weren't as many military applications of natural energy as would be developed eventually, we were driven underground, using any means available to us to survive and keep our race from dying out." He finished his story. All this left Boruto overwhelmed. He'd learned the origins of chakra in just few minutes, but Boruto guessed there was something being hidden from him still. "Our abilities were viewed as threat to the dominance of the Otsutsuki. Natural energy can nullify any attacks using chakra as you've seen, of course even that is dependent and the power and skill of the user, but that didn't stop the chakra-users from trying to destroy our people."
Boruto wanted to learn more. He wanted to know more about all of this. "Alright. We'll come back and talk with you later. For now let's go." His father's words were very much an order from the hokage than simple instructions. He guessed he won't be learning anything more right now.
His father led them to room with a round table and chairs around. "Alright everyone. Take a seat." At his father's insistence everyone did just that. "Okay so next, I suppose is what Mitsuki has to share." His father held out a hand towards Mitsuki. All heads turned towards him. Finally I might learn something more about him.
"Thank you Lord Seventh. What I wanted to share was my father's identity." Mitsuki's announcement caused the anxiety in the room to escalate ten-fold.
"I thought you had partial amnesia. You can't remember the identity of your parents." His father said.
"My father taught me how to resist the Yamanaka clan's abilities for my own safety. He believed it would be best if I kept my heritage a secret."
Boruto's father and Sasuke gave Mitsuki a scrutinizing look as if they didn't trust him. "Why have you chosen to tell us your father's identity now?" Shikamaru spoke up.
"I believe that he may have knowledge about his situation that we should consult him about." Mitsuki said.
"So then who is your father?" Old Man Sasuke asked sternly.
"Orochimaru." That was it. Everything went dead silent in the room. He looked around the table to see that he was the only one whose jaw hadn't dropped. He assumed it was because everyone here knew who this Orochimaru was. It annoyed Boruto to be completely out of the loop like this.
"So who's Orochimaru?" Boruto asked to break the silence.
"He's-" Mitsuki began to answer before being cut off.
"Wait. You're serious?" Konohamaru-sensei spoke up.
"Yes." Mitsuki sounded completely nonchalant. The weight of the news that hit everyone else clearly wasn't bothering Mitsuki. "I think it would be a great idea to go and see him."
Konohamaru-sensei was clenching his fists. Whoever this Orochimaru person was. It was clear that his sensei was not fond of him. Whatever history they had must not have been pleasant. After a moment of silent thought Boruto's father got up with a sigh. "Alright. Thanks for the information Mitsuki, but I believe you understand the nature the Village's relationship with your father." Boruto's father was trying to sound comforting to Mitsuki.
"Of course. It was merely a suggestion." Mitsuki didn't seem bothered at all.
"Alright then. Sasuke will be in charge of going under the Uchiha's Naka shrine to find whatever it is Jet wants us to find. In the meantime. I will be sending Team Konohamaru to go meet up with Orochimaru." Boruto's father said it like it was a decree. He turned to his sensei, who clearly didn't like this idea. Old Man Sasuke seemed to be looking the same way. "Alright then. Dismissed." With that everyone left their seats.
Boruto's father left for the hokage's office with Shikamaru. Mitsuki and Konohamaru-sensei returned to their respective homes to retrieve their belongings for their journey. Thus, leaving Boruto to return with Sarada and her father. The walk back to the house was rather quiet. Not a word passed between the three of them. Boruto's mind kept going to this Orochimaru, and what he was like. He wondered if he and Mitsuki looked the same or acted the same, and what he could tell them about the man who killed his aunt and attacked his family. "So who's this Orochimaru guy again?" He wasn't asking anyone in particular but he hoped someone would answer.
"He's my old mentor." Old Man Sasuke spoke up.
"Really? What's he like?" Boruto didn't realize Old Man Sasuke and Orochimaru would connected like this
"You'll see."
Judging by Old Man Sasuke's response he could tell that Sasuke and Orochimaru weren't on the best of terms.
"You forgot to mention he was rogue ninja." Sarada suddenly spoke up. Her voice drenched in annoyance. Immediately afterwards, her father shot her a look, that did not seem to have its intended affect. "He only received amnesty from the leaf because of he helped in the 4th great ninja war. And he wasn't the only one."
"So there were a bunch of these rogue ninjas who helped the ninja alliance huh?" Boruto was intrigued by this new information. Most people didn't like to talk about the war. All Boruto really knew was that his and Sarada's fathers were instrumental in the ninja alliance gaining victory in it. Other details included the reanimation of deceased, legendary ninja, as well the enemy known as the Akatsuki. Most of what he knew about it though was quite vague.
Upon entrance, Boruto and Sarada's respective mothers came up to them. "Are you two alright?" Aunt Sakura asked.
"Yeah. We're fine mom." Sarada replied for both of them. Boruto's own mother gave him a very worried look. It was the sort of look that made a person want to reveal every secret on every crime they'd ever committed. But instead she merely took Boruto in her arms and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Boruto was glad she didn't implore on what happened at the interrogation division.
"So what's going on?" Boruto's mother asked.
"Dad wants Old Man Sasuke to investigate some info. one the prisoners gave us." Boruto answered.
"Okay." His mother acknowledged.
"'Old Man Sasuke'" Sarada's mother laughed. Sasuke simply sunk his head in embarrassment. "So what are you two getting ready for?" She turned to him and Sarada.
"Oh. My Dad wants Team Konohamaru to meet Mitsuki's dad." Boruto replied.
"Huh. So Mitsuki has a dad?" Aunt Sakura said. "Who is it?"
"Orochimaru." Old Man Sasuke answered. The reactions following were more or less what Boruto expected.
"There's no way I'm letting my son go to meet him!" Boruto's mother exclaimed.
"Same goes for Sarada!" Aunt Sakura agreed with his mother. "Don't tell me you're okay with this." She said to her husband.
"Well in manner of speaking I'm not, but I'm still letting them. It was Naruto's idea anyway." Old Man Sasuke sounded nervous. "I know how you feel about him. But my old Taka members are there and I doubt they have anything weird planned." Sasuke's voice became confident now. There was some deep tension in the room regarding the news. No one spoke for some time.
"Alright. She can go." Aunt Sakura relented, but it was clear that there was more she wanted to say.
Boruto's own mother came up to him. "You can go too Boruto. But make sure you're careful around him. He can't be easily trusted." His mother was stern.
"Yes Mom." Boruto took his mother's words to heart. They were going to meet up with a former rogue ninja after all. He had to keep his guard up regardless of this Orochimaru's relationship with the leaf.
Boruto and Sarada went upstairs to pack their things where they were met by Hima. "You guys going on another mission?" She sounded disappointed.
"Yeah. Dad want's us to go meet Old Man Sasuke's old teacher." Boruto replied. Hima seemed rather disappointed before she put a smile on her face.
"Alright. Come back safe you dummy."
"Hey. Who you calling dummy? Of course I'll come back safe." He grinned at his sister.
"Don't worry Hima. I'll take care of this idiot." Sarada jumped in.
"Hey!" Boruto whined.
"You come back safe too. It gets boring hanging out with just Boruto. He can be such a sissy." Hima said pointing to her brother.
"Yeah I know." Sarada laughed with Hima about Boruto. While Boruto tried fruitlessly to refute their claims.
The seventh hokage's decision slightly caught Mitsuki off guard. Not because he didn't expect him to agree, but because he agreed right away. As for everyone else' reaction, Mitsuki had expected it. He particularly understood Konohamaru-sensei and Mr. Uchiha's actions, given their respective histories with Mitsuki's father.
He finished packing whatever essentials he believed he would need. He walked over to the sun blade on display on his wall. He turned the blade in his hand, deciding that it would be best for him to take this as well. Now that the Black Sun had made a move on the leaf he had protect this at all costs. He packed that in his bag as well. He then exited his home, locked the door and made his way towards the Village's main gate.
He found the rest of Team Konohamaru already waiting there for him. "Hey Mitsuki. What took you so long?" Boruto asked him.
"Just had to gather some last minute things. Is everyone else ready?"
"Yeah." Boruto and Sarada replied simultaneously. He turned to Konohamaru-sensei who gave him an almost distrusting look. Mitsuki decided to simply simile at him and Konohamaru-sensei did his best to smile back at him.
"Alright since we're all aware of the general situation we should just head out." Konohamaru-sensei began. "Unlike our last mission which initially didn't seem to have any direct result on the affairs of our village, this mission will. We are going to consult with Mitsuki's father about the enemy who attacked the hokage's family last night." Everyone acknowledged the sensei. "Alright let's move out. This time we can't afford waste a minute." With that the whole team began their run towards his father's hideout.
Throughout the journey not a word passed between the four of them. There was some kind of distrust hanging on the air. It didn't bother Mitsuki in the slightest though. He was well aware of how upsetting the situation must be for them. It didn't matter. He had a mission to accomplish so he would keep his mind on that.
"This place is weird." Boruto said commenting on the exterior of the hideout they arrived at after sometime. It was rather strange. There was something like a shed acting as hood over a staircase that led underground. Konohamaru-sensei was in front, leading them as if they were in enemy territory. Mitsuki supposed that for Konohamaru-sensei this was enemy territory. Once they'd descended the stairs they came into a dimly lit hallway that created the atmosphere of a place where no one should be. They heard footsteps coming there way. Konohamaru-sensei signaled for them to hide behind a wall.
"You guys can come out!" A female voice said. "We know your there. We're not gonna hurt you." She sounded slightly annoyed.
"Well that's debatable." A male voice said. The next sound was that of the male being hit by the female and a splash of water.
"I know that voice." Sarada stepped out. Mitsuki and Boruto followed as Konohamaru sensei jumped in front of them as if to face off against these two people. The male had silver hair and purple eyes. The other had red hair and wore glasses just like Sarada's.
"Well how about that. It's Sarada." The silver-haired man sounded happy.
"Sarada?" The red-haired woman came over to Sarada to give her a hug.
"You've grown so much. Oh you look just like your father." She kept talking like she knew Sarada.
"You must be Karin." Sarada said with a mile. "My parents told me all about you. It's nice to meet you."
"She sure didn't get her manners from Sasuke." The silver-haired man said.
"Shut up Suigetsu." Karin snapped at him. Mitsuki was rather amused by the whole scene. He heard his father had helpers he didn't expect this though.
"Alright. Alright." Konohamaru-sensei clearly annoyed and uneasy about this whole situation. "Where's Orochimaru?"
Suigetsu and Karin looked at him confused. "Who the hell is this guy?" Suigetsu asked.
Karin looked at the sensei for a minute before her her expression softened. "Konohamaru Sarutobi." She sounded sympathetic. "Follow me."
Suigetsu was complaining about not understanding the situation one bit while Karin simply ignored him. She spoke with Sarada as she led them towards Mitsuki's father.
He led them to a room that looked something like a library. In the desk sat his father with orange haired-man he'd never seen before. "Lord Orochimaru. We have visitors."
His father looked up. He looked exactly as he remembered. Pale complexion, golden-eyes, long black hair tied in a pony-tail, and looking far too young. "Well how about this." His father said with a smile. "So the prodigal son returns."
"Hey father." Mitsuki stepped forward. His father's helpers seemed dumbfounded about the whole situation. They began asking their boss about how and when he had a son, but he simply dodged their questions. Just like I remember him.
"It seems that young Konohamaru and Sasuke's daughter are here as well. And a boy who I can only assume to be the hokage's son." His father said with smirk. "This is an interesting team you have here Mitsuki."
"Yeah they are interesting." Mitsuki replied. "You've also got yourself some interesting new helpers."
"By no means. They simply weren't around last time we met. They are the former members of the organization Sasuke formed many years ago." His father explained. "You've already met Suigetsu Hozuki and Karin." He motioned to the two people they met in the hallway. "And this is Jugo." He motioned to orange-haired man.
"It nice to meet you." Jugo said respectfully.
Mitsuki simply bowed back.
"That's enough idle chit-chat." Konohamaru-sensei cut in. "Orochimaru. What can you tell us about the Sol?"
"Right to the point Konohamaru." Mitsuki's father grinned. "I like that. Just like the third hokage."
Konohamaru-sensei gritted his teeth at that.
"Now how exactly do you even know about the Sol?" His father asked.
"Last night. They tried to kidnap my sister." Boruto spoke up.
"Oh-ho. They tried to kidnap the hokage's daughter? How bold." His father face had gotten serious. He almost looked interested. "I'm assuming they failed."
"That's right." Konohamaru-sensei answered. "The enemy leader, Haru Chinatsu escaped after a clash with the hokage, and the six others that were with him surrendered."
"Interesting. So I'm assuming you've executed the prisoners after interrogating them."
"No. That's not how we do things. They surrendered of their own free will." The sensei replied proudly.
"Exactly. The fact that they surrendered of their own free will means that there is some greater purpose behind this situation." His father explained. "You should've executed them, so as to halt their plan before it begins."
"That's what you would've done. Right?" The sensei's tone was becoming threatening.
"Of course." Mitsuki's father sounded unaffected. "It's only logical. It's all well and good to observe the actions of your enemies by letting them live. But once you've learned all you can, you must dispose of them so they cannot exact their plan. You should've killed them after extracting any information you could from them." He finished.
Konohamaru-sensei stepped forward to make a comeback, but Mitsuki spoke first. "Father. Is there anything you can tell us about these Sol?" He gave his father a knowing look and his father returned it.
"Very well then. Everyone, please sit." His father had his helpers bring forth chairs for themselves as well as Team Konohamaru. Once everyone was seated, his father began explaining the history of the Sol that was more or less the same as what Jet had told them. Then he began to talk about the Black Sun. "The Black Sun is the name of underground organization consisting entirely of Sol. I have been observing them since long before the 4th great ninja war. They originated overseas but then migrated here after the conclusion of the war."
"So what are their goals?" His sensei asked. Though it sounded more like an order than anything.
"As the ones who are like the humans before the arrival of the Otsutsuki, their original goals were simply take back the world that had fallen under the control of chakra." His father replied. "However, eight years ago, they began to change tactics."
"How do you mean?" Konohamaru-sensei asked.
"Originally they simply hired out their services as ninja-killers. Their abilities made them quite fearsome at it as you can imagine. But eight years ago they became more violent. They began killing without prior incentive or a goal. Their targets went from ninja to just about anyone you could think of."
"Why is that?"
"Not sure. Perhaps they changed leadership at some point." His father finished. "Anything else?"
Konohamaru-sensei was giving his father a death glare. "No. That was all. We'll be going now, but expect to be contacted again." Konohamaru-sensei motioned fro the team to leave.
"Wait." His father said. "I haven't seen my son in many years. Would deprive me of the chance to spend some quality time with him?"
Konohamaru-sensei gave both Mitsuki and his father distrusting looks. "Fine. But don't be too long Mitsuki."
"Yes sensei." Mitsuki replied. With that his team and his father's helpers exited the room. His father sat back down behind his desk.
"They really are an interesting bunch Mitsuki. How do like them?" His father asked.
"Very much actually." Mitsuki replied. "I'm glad to have friends like them, though they can be a bit rambunctious sometimes." Mitsuki sat down across from his father. "I really wish you wouldn't antagonize Konohamaru-sensei so much though."
"I couldn't help it. He reminds me so much of his grandfather. I told you about him right?"
"Yes. And the circumstances of his death." Mitsuki made his tone as serious as he could. He wouldn't define his father by his previous crimes, but he wouldn't let them be forgotten so easily either.
"You really have grown into quite the ninja haven't you?" His father didn't sound proud. He was stating as a matter-of-fact.
"Yeah. I guess I have. That Leaf's been good to me, in spite of their distrust of me."
"That's good to hear. So Mitsuki, I doubt you came for the same reason as the rest of your team. Am I correct?"
Mitsuki smiled at how sharp his father was. He reached into his back and pulled out the sun blade. "Father. I need your help."
"You mother's sun blade. So you kept it after all these years?" His father sounded nostalgic.
"What should I do? Why did the sun choose me?" Mitsuki tried to sound as calm as he could, but in truth he was desperate for answers.
