Halloo! How'd you guys like chapter 5? Hopefully a lot! It took me forever to figure out the daimyo's name, and I got so frustrated that I was actually 100% seriously considering naming him Todoroki Shoto, (Shout-out to all BNHA fans) but then my brother who sometimes beta reads for me (when I threaten him with death) helped me out, so now his name is Adzuki Yoshiro. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental and all that.

"MITSUKI!"

Boruto and Sarada stand there glaring at Mitsuki while the daimyo uncontrollably shake with laughter.

Mitsuki smiles while he continues

"Well it is true. You two are perfect for each other! You are always together, have known each other your entire lives, and if I remember correctly you have even slept in the same bed once. I also see that neither of you are denying it, plus you're both blushing extremely hard, so I believe I am right?"

By now the daimyo is laughing so hard he can barely breathe.

Boruto might seem to be Naruto's doppelganger, but he still has Hinata's genes, standing in complete shock while he processes over and over again what Mitsuki just said and is blushing so hard that he fairly resembles a tomato, and is so red that Mitsuki considers checking to see if he is all right and taking his temperature.

Sarada who, being an Uchiha, is usually good at hiding her emotions, fails miserably to do so this time and has covered her face in her hands in an also failed attempt to hide her blush.

Hmm..., Wonders Mitsuki. There is a big probability that Sarada will punch me really hard later. He smiles wider. It was worth it though. But I still ship them.

SHANNARO! WHY WOULD HE BRING THAT UP IN FRONT OF THE DAIMYO!? Sarada silently dies on the inside from embarrassment, and rage at Mitsuki, as she remembers what he's talking about. THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT NOT ON PURPOSE!

Two years ago:

Whoa! Your Fireball Jutsu has certainly gotten stronger Sarada!

Boruto pants. He looks at Sarada across the training field. She's sweating and tired and panting just as hard as Boruto but grinning and looking extremely pleased with herself after singing the ends of Boruto's banana-like hair.(1)

I've been training with papa every time he comes back to the village. And there's more where that came from!

Boruto smiles. But when sees her activate her Sharingan, a look of worry instantly flickers onto his face.

Are you sure that's a good idea Sarada? Your chakra is already low and you're tired, since we've been training for hours. Using your Sharingan might get you hurt 'ttebasa!

Sarada, hearing the concern in his voice starts to feel good inside knowing how much he cares about her.

I'll be fine! I told you I've been training with papa and I'm much stronger now!

She runs at him at full speed ignoring the pain that's rapidly growing in her head and using the power of her Sharingan, sees the jutsu he's about to use, blocks it, and hits Boruto so hard that he flies backward about 30 feet. When Boruto opens his eyes, he sees Sarada standing over him shaky and fatigued, barely standing, but looking triumphant.

How'd you like that one?

Boruto stands up and smiles.

Wow. You only broke about three ribs this time but good job anyway.

You baka.

Sarada semi-lightly punches him on the shoulder.

Ow. You really need to learn your own strength! Now let's go. Its getting late and I'm wore out. I feel like I could pass out right here!

Sarada nods her agreement. They walk about 6 steps when Sarada suddenly collapses into Boruto, who catches her before she can hit the ground.

Sarada!

He checks to see if she's all right and smiles, seeing that she is sound asleep, wore out from too much training.

Or you could pass out right here

.

He gathers her in his arms bridal style and jumps onto the rooftops carrying her home. When he reaches her house he himself is about to pass out from exhaustion. He climbs in through her window which was thankfully unlocked, and manages to put her on her bed. But before he could think about what to do next he collapses onto the bed next to her.

The next morning:

A ray of sunshine shining on her face wakes Sarada a few minutes earlier than usual. She opens her eyes. And sees Boruto's face right next to hers. With their arms around each other. Then, as if on cue, Boruto's eyes open, and they stare at each other for about two seconds a blush quickly growing on both their cheeks, both trying to register what's happening, before someone knocks on the door and enters.

Good morni-Oh!

Boruto and Sarada turn to see Sakura standing in the doorway with her hands covering her mouth in surprise.

Sakura what's wro-

Much to the two teenager's dismay, in comes Sasuke behind Sakura, having gotten to the village that morning for a visit.

Sasukes Sharingan automatically activates without his knowledge.

You two have one second to get out of the bed before I kill you.

Realizing that they are still in the bed together, they both blush even more and quickly climb out of the bed.

It's not what you think! They both blurt out at the same time.

Sasuke glares at them both, though mainly at Boruto.

Then what am I supposed to think? Now answer this question before I start to get mad. And you don't want to see me mad. WHY WERE YOU IN THE BED TOGETHER?

Boruto, starting to remember what happened last night, steps forward and tries to explain.

I-It was an accident! Me and Sarada, we w-were training last night and were on our way home when Sarada passed out from too much training, so I took her home, but I was also really tired, so I guess after I put her in her bed I fell asleep with her! And we both woke up right before Auntie Sakura walked in the room and are still trying to figure out what's happening!

As Boruto stares at Sasuke wondering what he's going to do after his explanation (which he felt a tiny bit of pride at not stuttering or sounding scared all that much) he realizes that Sakura has left the room and inwardly groans, realizing that she has undoubtedly went and called his parents and that they most likely are on they're way here.

Sasuke continues to stare at the two of them, and after staring at them for a few moments more, and then slowly walks towards them.

Both of you get out of my sight while I figure out what to do with you. NOW.

They both quickly make their way downstairs and to the kitchen when someone knocks on the front door. Sakura, who, as Boruto predicted, was on the phone with his parents, goes to answer it and (lo and behold) its Mitsuki coming to get Sarada for training.

Good morning Shishou. I wanted to know if Sarada was okay. She said she was going to meet me and Boruto at the training field this morning but neither of them was there when I arrived, and though for Boruto I expected him not to be there, it's not like Sarada at all to be late.

Before Sakura could say anything, Mitsuki sees Boruto and Sarada over Sakura's shoulder with their clothes all rumpled and matching looks of panic growing on their faces, as they realize who it is. Mitsuki immediately starts to smile.

Ah. Well I see they are quite busy now. I'll just meet up with them later. For now I remember I have some things to do.

And he starts to walk away. But he turns back around with his same semi-creepy smile looking even weirder now and says:

Hope you two had fun.

Both Sarada and Boruto sweat-drop with the realization that Mitsuki is going to make things a lot worse.

Sarada, using a lot of willpower to not punch Mitsuki into oblivion, turns to the daimyo and tries to explain that it was all just a big misunderstanding, sees that he is tomato-jay (2) red with laughter. And realizing that there's no point just huffs and says, "Oh, let's just get a move on already! We're already behind schedule anyways." The daimyo composing himself, stands up. "Sorry Sarada, your right. We really should get moving." He turns to Mitsuki. "But please tell me how that happened while we walk!" Boruto, who finally recovered from his shock, starts yelling at Mitsuki.

"WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT UP?! I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP SARADA NOTHING MORE! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND YOU KNOW THAT! I'VE EXPLAINED THAT MULTIPLE TIMES! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Mitsuki just stands there smiling and looking extremely pleased with himself. Boruto continues more infuriated than ever.

"AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE SARADA LIKE THAT! SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME LIKE THAT! AND SHE MIGHT BE MY BEST FRIEND BUT SHE'S JUST A FRIEND AND THAT'S ALL SHE'LL EVER BE!" As Boruto says this Sarada, who had been trying to ignore the two of them, (especially Boruto) looks up at him, feeling a small pang in her chest, for some reason unknown to her. As she looks up, he looks at her at the same time, but, before he looks away she sees a faint look in his eyes that she can only describe, as hurt.

This is my second time writing a flashback scene and I'm pretty sure I'm trash at it. Anyhow, how'd you guys like the chapter? It's the longest one so far and I'm pretty proud of it (pats self on back). And if you are wondering what those little numbers meant, lemme explain:

(1): I just HAD to mention his banana hair! Not bashing it though, cuz I actually think its really cute!

(2): Now of course I had to say something about one of my fave YouTube gamers, Jay from his channel, Kubz Scouts. His #tomatojay videos are some of my favorites!

And guess what? So far, 1,072 people have read so far and you deserve a round of applause! But anyways, BFN!
