Just like the boys, the girls seemed to have also caught by the same topic bug. They were all at the age when topic of love started picking up and their maturity made them look like young adults, and act like them as well.

Someone from the past would assume that they were around 17 or 16 years old with how they looked and their knowledge would make them assume that they were much older.

The world had become faster over time and people matured at such a high rate as they operated at extreme speeds and information moved like lightning.

Even without such maturity, love had always been something that girls seem to find fascinating before the male side.

Sarada sat with her girls at a restaurant on top of the mountain top. It was the mountain range just outside the city and it was the place that had been used by Pain to seal up the berserk Naruto.

Once Konoha was being rebuilt, this mountain range had also been rebuilt with the help of earth affinity masters and further developed when private companies decided to use it for different business plans.

It had become one tourist region in Konoha and the scenery at the top was beautiful. The restaurant that Sarada and the girls sat inside was very famous.

Unlike others, they got preferential treatment and never had to worry about not having space. Just like usual, she wore her red framed glasses and wore a classy dress.

Most of the girls were very picky and seemed to change what they were everyday. Today she wore black pants with black turtle neck and a red coat.

She enjoyed wearing high heels so just like usual, Sarada had black and red heels of the shinobi kind.

She had picked up the taste for this style from Naruto. He looked very good when he was wearing the formal style.

Chocho sat on her side wearing a short red skirt, white shirt with tribal design, net leggings, black leather jacket and knee high boots.

Laura was dressed in blue shorts and white tube top with long sleeves along with white sneakers.

Namida wore a white sleeveless dress that came to her knees and black knee high boots. Her hair was in the usual twin tail format.

Wasabi was wearing black shorts with a green tank top and a dark green jacket along with black and green sneakers.

Finally, Juri was wearing a purple sweater with black jeans and red sneakers. She had changed her hair style from the twin horn form to a pony tail as she leaned back into her seat.

Even now she was thinking about what she had just done. She had jumped Boruto and kissed him. His lips had been so soft and it tasted of steak burger.

It wasn't surprising since Boruto loved to eat burgers and such stuff. The day had flown by as she automatically went through her tasks while half of her mind was occupied on thoughts about this topic.

Even her beast partners had noticed the change without looking through the spiritual bond. Her action was the talk of the academy and she did feel nervous about it for a moment but squished those feelings.

Juri was a risk taker. She was a fighter and it was unacceptable to feel fear in this situations. Feeling fear was for the weak, that was her belief and she disliked that she felt it.

Pushing through with her core trait with help from the rival, Juri felt comfortable with her choice and was chill.

Her attitude impressed the girls as well and they were all gathered to celebrate today's achievement. It felt good that her friends were their support her goal, especially Laura. Laura was very close with Boruto as she played with him and fought him all the time.

They were the party kids along with Benimaru.

"So, what is your next step?" Sarada asked as she put down the coffee. They had finished eating a small meal and some sweets before arriving at the drinks.

They had praised her little sis about her action and gave her support but going blind wasn't the right thing so she wanted to know.

Looking at Sarada, Juri shifted in her seat and sat up straight.

"I was thinking of getting him on some dates and slowly increasing my presence. Now that I have confessed, he will know what my actions mean and I will keep reminding him. I whisper into his ears and say to him openly. Did I forget anything Laura?" Juri replied in a sweet tone that was very different from her usual tone that it made some them look at her weird.

"Damn, that gave me goosebumps." Wasabi muttered as she sipped on her milkshake.

"Stop overreacting, I know you bet on me pussying out."

"That's my girl and, I was just giving you further boost." Wasabi looked at her nails that were painted black while her steel like tail moved behind her back.

She was a unique girl. Among the girls she was actually the youngest but her age had been boosted to their age through a mistake.

She was supposed to be eight years old somehow Wasabi ended up in a contract with Bastet at the age of age of six.

She was loved by two tailed beast, Matatabi. She was the daughter of Yugito Inuzuka and Kiba. Kiba was blessed by Hades and had been granted power as the power of Cerberus was transferred to him.

With all that it wasn't impossible for it to happen and the parents allowed it. But none of them expected that Bastet would take Wasabi to the Immortal realm.

For 4 years Wasabi lived in the Immortal realm, protected by Bastet's powers and taught personally. When she returned back to the normal world, only few months had passed.

This had drained Bastet's power by a lot but it was worth it. She was aware that Naruto planned to use the high potential children in his plan, so she wanted Wasabi to be part of the alpha group.

Bastet was one of the immortals and was usually in the form of a black cat with a golden necklace and even bracelets on her limbs.

The other times she could be in the form of lion or even a beastman form as she had been from that race, and not the human race.

Naruto had also supported it once Bastet talked to him and he allowed it after hearing Yugito and Kiba. They were aware of the truth of the world and seeing the opportunity they accepted it.

If not for this miraculous happening, Wasabi would have been stuck with Rias and the others. She was friends with them as well but after the age difference she started to move towards the older girls. It was hard to mix with her friends as she was too different.

Wasabi had issues adjusting into the new setting and many times wanted to just to undo it. But with the help of her parents and the girls, she was able to adjust properly.

She was friends with Sarada and the others before as well but more like a little sister to them. They also had issues adjusting to seeing her as their age but they made a conscious effort for her sake.

Juri shined at this time and it was the reason for their close bond. She had replaced the place of Rias who had been her closest friend initially. Even now Wasabi was just waiting for the little girls to reach this level so they can finally sit together properly.

She didn't just walk away from them and spent some time playing with them.

The little girls easily took to it and just found it fun.

"Screw you sideways, that bet was private so there was no support in sight."

"I don't need to hear you sexual preferences, I was happy without knowing them." Wasabi shook her tail at Juri while the girl aimed for it but it retreated.

Lighting flashed forcing all of them to back off.

"Jeez, we are still talking so let's keep that to later." Laura interfered as it this could end up in a small fight between the girls again. It wasn't rare that they ended up fighting at the small things for fun. Wasabi loved the chase and Juri loved to chase down people, they were meant for each other.

She looked at both of them while waving her foot and Sarada put her hand down on the table. With that the girls didn't continue.

All of them were very close and they were a team. Sarada was their leader and when she acted serious, all of them would drop everything and listen.

It wasn't easy but with time they had gotten used to it. They understood that a team needed order or conflict would break them apart.

It was the same for the others as well.

The Academy could make the teams but now the students were allowed to make their case. Sarada and her team were approved so the girls were always in the same group except for some activities that were designed to help them adapt to anyone.

Sarada would let them mess around like usual and it would drag the whole group in but they were talking about something serious, so she needed to remind them not to mess around.

Wasabi wasn't serious about it since she had yet to feel this emotion while Juri was used to playing around with Wasabi so her mind gave into the habit.

"How about staying with us for some time? Sumire is moving in with us today and I have to say, that's a big advantage." Laura continued as she put down her foot, causing the marble floor to rise as small pillar that came to the table height.

On the pillar two figures could be seen as Laura showed what could happen with Sumire living in their place.

Laura focused on multiple elements and earth was her prime affinity along with lightning. She was a fine example of power and durability.

"She isn't wrong. Sumire is already too close to Boruto with both of them having the same classes. Now she will get closer, I think you should try staying there twice of thrice a week like before." Sarada thought about the words and agreed, though she didn't agree with moving in like Sumire as that was pushing it.

"Have some confidence in your presence and don't push too much. Sumire didn't make this step, she was forced by circumstances. Boruto likes you the way you are, so don't become too clingy."

Sarada looked up and saw Shuten walk towards them. She was wearing snow white Kimono with small pink flowers and a black plus gold belt.

It came to her knees and she wore her green jewel on her head like usual and the red ribbons on her ankles along with the black sandals.

Her neck had a choker with the demonic design that was connected to the rest of the metallic undergarment that covered her chest and private parts.

Just like always her presence was very eye catching and the smell that followed made everyone stare. Her presence was too strong for any normal person to ignore and it made people drunk.

There was a sweet smell in the air and her voice was enchanting like sweet honey. Her every movement was graceful and seemed to attract the eye.

She was a girl that made girls question their sexuality and people knew it would become stronger with time.

She was also the girl that Sarada thought of as a rival. Boruto looked at Asura and didn't see Shuten because he thought of one target at a time plus Shuten was too close to him, she was too sweet to him.

Sarada found Shuten to be the perfect person. She was strong. She was graceful. She was beautiful. She was extremely intelligent and elegant.

She was the same age but the difference between them was very big. In their group age, Shuten always stood out and it had been the same since the very beginning. Shuten never stood below anyone, she stood at the top and walked faster than everyone.

Sarada had fought her many times and even though strength was her fort, Shuten made her feel weak. Everything was futile in front of Shuten. She gave the same feeling as the adults, especially Naruto.

It wasn't a secret. Shuten was a daddy's girl and her respect and love for him was unquestionable.

Among the siblings Shuten and Himawari were the most attached to their father. Boruto was a mommy's boy and if he ever had a problem then he would go to Hinata.

Sarada did think of her as a rival but she also respected her and their relationship was always cordial. It was hard to imagine anyone hating Shuten, as she was very gentle and sensitive to people.

Shuten walked up to them and stood down on the empty seat. They had invited her to join and Shuten she would be a little late.

Shuten was practicing her abilities and seeing what was happening around them. Even without her being informed of the situation, Shuten was very sensitive and felt it. She felt the danger and one day she had sensed Naruto slipping, it was miniscule but Shuten never missed anything from Naruto.

Naruto had always tried to be the best parent in the world. He tried his best in everything he took upon his shoulders so it was to be expected but he put extra effort in this task. He never had parents and always wished for a family.

He wanted to be loved. He wanted the normal things in life but all of it was denied to him. The day he became a parent, Naruto vowed to be the best father ever.

He was the closest friend to all of them. He was their teacher. He was their sparring partner. He was their goal. He was the sanctuary from all evil. He was always there to support them.

It wasn't a coincidence that Shuten would end up being attached to him. Her instinct like Asura also demanded submissiveness to the superior and with all the factors she loved him dearly.

She watched him and learned from him.

She liked what he liked. She disliked what he disliked.

She imitated him and took after him the most. She was Naruto if he was a female. But that was only for the world, she had qualities that were unique to her and they didn't match with Naruto.

"Are you sure about that sis?" Laura asked as Shuten sat down and ordered some apple tea from the hologram system on the seats.

"I am sure Laura. It is not nice to go through with this step at this stage, take it slow. You have just confessed now, so this step will give a bad impression. You are a confident girl Juri, this doesn't suit you." Shuten replied calmly as she looked at Laura before moving her gaze to Juri. Her hands tapped on the table and her expression was confident and calm like always, nothing seems to make her slip.

Her voice way always so pleasant and it was hard to find fault with her opinions. Laura could never ignore Shuten and nodded as she heard the confirmation.

It made sense. She had forgotten how Boruto got when people got too clingy. It was an oversight because she wanted her friend to succeed.

Boruto was fine with little kids acting clingy to him and he didn't even like kids that much. But anyone above little kid age should never act like that with him as he got really annoyed with those people. It was one of the reasons for their fights.

They ended up fighting when he didn't want to play but she stuck to him, if his mood was really not there then it led to a fight.

"What about Sumire? She still has more chances with him." Sarada asked as she tried to analyze Shuten. She knew Shuten was a reality warper so Sarada wanted her eyes to break through it.

Sadly, even she didn't believe that was possible. She needed to atleast get the next stage or the rinne-sharingan to break Shuten's powers.

It was the power Shuten was blessed with. Those purple eyes with a golden and black center and a golden ring surrounding it, gave her the powers of reality warping.

She had all the abilities of the Rinnegan but was also blessed with higher affinity to reality warping that she never needed to wait like others to start controlling the world.

With those abilities she created toxins that were deadly and difficult to create or even impossible. She denied what she didn't like and made reality what she wanted.

Her powers were still limited but she had shown the highest potential to even surpass Naruto.

"Not much, Juri has been closer to him for a longer time. Sumire only knows him for few years and even less time while Juri is part of his group. Sumire does attend same classes but Juri is with him in the team classes and even during the break. She is with him after school and when they have their usual activities. At home there really isn't much of a chance unless Boruto is spending it at home and no one is there. We are usually spending together, isn't that right Laura." Shuten explained her point of view. She understood why they were worried but it was unneeded.

Reading her actions, Sarada could see that she was confident in her words. She had already said that Boruto would choose Juri without a doubt but it was hard to trust her there since Shuten had zero experience in this field.

"Hmm, what do you think Juri?" Sarada looked at her sister who was lost in thought and winding her hair around her finger.

Chocho kicked her leg and Juri looked up, "Focus girl, we are still here."

Chocho chuckled as she licked the delicious ice cream she had made personally, not everything she ate was made by others.

Juri kicked back in retaliation but Chocho had already known her reaction. Her feet were hidden behind Sarada's.

Wasabi blocked her foot.

Juri understood and promised to get her after they were done here. Chocho laughed at her look and decided to stick to Sarada.

"Juri, what do you think?" Laura asked to help her focus.

"Let's just do it my way. I don't need to think about Sumire, just Boruto." Juri understood from Shuten's words and was reminded of their bond.

These new sensations made her feel different and made her careful about her steps that she was looking for affirmation.

"Just don't go overboard." Sarada nodded and advised.

"I won't."

Finishing up with this talk, they talked about new developments and movies before going back home.

"Sarada, you had something to share." Shuten walked with Sarada and Chocho once they finished up. She had been invited by Sarada to stay with them for a moment.

"I just wanted to thank for your help. It isn't much but I think you will like this." Sarada passed a copy of her parent's marriage video.

Shuten felt that it was good when she saw it. It was feeling. It was her powers agreeing with Sarada's statement.

She didn't know what it was but it made her curious.

"No problem, we are friends so it is my duty to help. Now take care and see you later." Shuten took data into her phone and left.

Sarada looked at her back and wondered if she could help her get closer to one of her goals.

A.N Hope you enjoyed and comment.

I have been thinking of just making the story darker and darker. Before continuing know that all of these characters can die and I mean all of them.

The setting of this story is full on tragedy in the making.

I was thinking it would start after the Ishiki battle but then i thought that's too far. In the Jashin arc we will get very dark moments. Jashin looks like the Upside down man from DC so you know its horror. Just check it on Google images and you will understand.

I don't intend to write sexual stuff. That just slipped through because I wanted to cover events at least once but I don't like it so I won't be doing it. Both Naruto and Boruto are the protagonist.
