Boruto and Kawaki stood in opposition to each other on the training glade, Naruto, Sasuke, Sarada, Sumire and Mitsuki were on the side
"Remember this is just a friendly sparring, do not overdo it," said Naruto
"Yes," replied Boruto and Kawaki at the same time
"In that case, you start!"
Boruto and Kawaki activated their Karma, on the right hand Boruto developed a blue sign, which reached up to his right eye, while Kawaki had a red mark, they both rushed to the ground clashing with fists, after a momentary armwrestling they both jumped away from each other, Boruto pulled from the holster a few Shuriken throwing in the direction of adopted brother, Kawaki easily avoided them, when one of his Shuriken was behind him turned into Boruto, who tried to attack Kawakai from behind, he realized and in time he dodged the kick blonde, then he hit the elbow him in the stomach, Boruto spat blood and flew towards the tree, a moment later his body turned into a ball of smoke.
"So where are you hiding Boruto?" thought Kawaki, looking around the clearing
Suddenly, after he felt someone grabbing his legs from behind, a second later he jumped out of the ground real by hitting Kawaki in the jaw, then with half a turn kicked him in the chest sending out a fair distance.
"It looks like I won, dattebasa"
Kawaki smiled and hooked the blonde with his legs knocking him to the ground immediately stood on him.
"Did you say something?" said Kawaki with a triumphant smirk
"Okay, good enough for today, Kawaki wins," Naruto said
"Damn it, it was so close," said Boruto
"Boruto, you've made progress, but you still have a habit of lowering your guard too early, you have to work on it," said Sasuke.
"I know that"
"Okay, let's get back to the village," said Naruto
When everyone returned to the village, Kawaki moved in a different direction
"Do are you going to Kawaki?" asked Boruto
"I have to spend a moment alone," he replied mysteriously, disappearing
"And what about him?" said the blond to Mitsuki, who only shrugged. Kawaki sat on the hill not far from Konoha
[Flashback]
8-year-old Kawaki returned home with a hunted boar, he came to a small house that looked neglected, when he came in it was even worse, everywhere was full of broken bottles of Sake, the paint on the walls torn off, in some places there was even mold"I returned Tou-san," said young Kawaki, entering the kitchen, and finding his father completely drunk"Well, finally you are, how much I have to wait for you, crap," said the pissed man"You know that hunting is not so much ..."He did not finish when the man hit him with a bottle in the head, causing Kawaki to curl up, grabbing his sore place."Your cousin Hitari would do it much faster and better"When Kawaki heard this, he bit his teeth, always in the face of his cousin was worse, according to his father
[End of memory]
Kawaki was so absorbed in his memories that he did not notice when Sumire sat beside him.
"What are you doing here?" Kawaki asked coolly
"I wanted to check if everything is playing," Sumire replied
"You do not have to worry about me, everything is fine"
"Your words say one thing, while your eyes say something else, I see pain and regret in them, maybe you do not know about it but my grandfather used my parents to destroy Konoha, and since my youth I have been subjected to a hard and painful training, even they branded me just to fulfill their purpose, and I almost did it until I met Boruto, who stopped me and showed me the right path, and also no matter how hard you once had, it could always be better, you should know it perfectly Kawaki-kun, "she said with a smile
Kawaki stared at Sumire for a moment, then turned around and remembered how it was Boruto and the rest of him found him and moved him to Konoha, he was accepted by Naruto and his family, he began to find himself in this place, Kawaki finally got up and he began to return to the village.
"Thanks," he said before he disappeared into the woods
