Hi everyone! I present to you another long awaited instalment, like always proof-reading will be done who knows? anyway please enjoy!

Boruto jumped from branch to branch gracefully lost in his thoughts "I hope everyone is okay", up ahead three birds flew away as loud shriek filled the air, light blue eyes widened with horror and dread as he recognised that voice. "Mitsuki!"

Shinchiku's gaze grew soft as he watched the pale skinned genin, "Look kid I like you and to be honest you and I are the same"

"Come again?" Mitsuki scowled at the older man.

"Long ago Lord Orochimaru was trying to single handedly revive the Uchiha clan with the dna he received from Itachi that's also why I took on the surname, unfortunately I did not turn out successful as I only had one eye"

Mitsuki stared blankly.

"Allow me to not only tell you but show it" As he spoke the surroundings changed into an old underground laboratory,"He's showing me his memories?" Mitsuki knew this place well, this was one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Before them stood Orochimaru as he looked at a small child running about. "Hmm it seem I have failed again" he took a sip from his cup as he watched the said child run into the wall and his eyeball flew out his head and bounced about the room. *Sigh* he walked towards the child and handed him the eye.

"Gee thanks Mast-" Orochimaru placed his hand to his the child's face and rested it on bald head rubbing it affectionately.

"No call me father"

Mitsuki give shinchicku a confused look, "Where are you going with this?"

"I'll skip to a few years ahead" the room changed to a more mordern looking laboratory with an older Shinchiku holding a small bundle. Orochimaru gently placed a hand on his shoulder as he peered into the cloth at the feeble baby crying.

"This was one was a little better, look this time he has two eyes, it's all thanks to your dna I can now make synthetic humans with proper body proportions"

Shinchiku looked at the baby in his arms "This came from me? does that make me a father?"

Orochimaru smiled softly and slowly nodded his head."Let's name him Shin Uchiha"

An overwhelming feeling washed over him as he held the child, it felt like his heart was about to burst "My lord...what feeling is this?"

Mitsuki watched as the walls faded and they returned back to reality, "I was wrong that day...when Orochimaru found a new way to modify synthetic humans he had no use for us, me, shin and his clones were reduced to spare organs, test subjects and feed for his giant snakes. Shin had lost his way and his view of the world was warped, his greatest downfall is that he became too obsessed with the flawed Itachi Uchiha and developed a survival of the fittest mentality" He paused. If Mitsuki didn't know any better it his voice sounded heavy.

Mitsuki crossed his arms"Just like his master"

"heh but he was my son" his eye grew soft for a second and then emotionless again.

Mitsuki broke the silence, "I don't understand from the intel we gathered about you says that you originated from one of Kaguya's dimension."

"Eventually we found refuge there and struck a deal with the Otsutsuki family that I would travel back here to retrieve a young Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha and in return they granted me power and the ability of advanced space time ninjutsu"

"Is this the part where you try to convince me to join your evil scheme, If that's the case I decline" Mitsuki's golden orbs gleamed showing his fierceness. " I have long decided to follow Boruto to find out if he is my sun!"

Shinchiku's lips etched into a frown "What kind of nonsense are you sprouting from your mouth? you are an artificial being unlike me and shin a successful with body parts intact and functioning! how I loathe you for that!" the last part was laced with malice,"I've been watching you for a while now and I know what your father did."

"What the hell do you know about me?! I may have been created in the most unorthodox way but I'm still a human being! I have my friends,my class mates and my village to thank for making me into the person I am today unlike you I was given a choice to find my own way!"

"Keep telling yourself that! but should anyone find out what you really are, Orochimaru placed a curse seal on your heart that would activate and cause you to self destruct in order to conceal his precious 'research' you see the Orochimaru you encountered a couple of days ago is no different from the one you call 'parent'"

Every word that came out of the Uchiha's lips felt like a sword piercing itself into his heart, Mitsuki's eyes widened, his face grew pale and his legs gave away making him fall on his but with soft 'thud'.

Shinchiku got on one knee and whispered into his ear,"You have two days to answer me or seal your fate" Mitsuki shuddered slightly from the warm breath, he angry clenched his fist and raised his hand to strike " you don't scare me! screw"

"I had a feeling you would say that." he made a hand sign and the blue haired genin clutched his chest as he felt a sudden sharp pain, he shrieked loudly and curled himself into a ball, it was like his heart was about to explode, he gasped for air as his chest grew tight and constricted, tears welled up into his eyes, "P-Please...you win...I'll join you...I'll do what ever...you want...j-just please stop"

The Uchiha's lips formed into a small smirk "In two days time Orochimaru is planning to destroy the hidden leaf village and we'll use that to our greatest advantage and snactch those two nuisance" he disappeared with a poof.

Boruto's pace quickened as he heard his team mate's shriek, he came to a stop as he reached a clearing and gasped when he saw Mitsuki's body on the floor, the blonde ninja gave a sigh of relief to see the pale skinned genin's stomach slowly rise and fall indicating that at least he wasn't dead, he looked around for any enemies or then ran to Mitsuki's side."Hey! Mitsuki! I'm here"

His golden eyes opened to concerned sky blue ones "ugh Boruto...It's ok...I'm ok.."

Boruto looked around for any signs of battle but there was none much to his confusion, he raised his brow "What happened? I heard your scream"

"Hey! I said it's nothing! just ran into some enemy ninja and they knocked me out" he waved his had dismissively, "let's try to catch up with Sarada and the other two"

This unsual behaviour did not go unnoticed by Boruto and he was not buying it! Mitsuki would never let his guard down to get easily knocked out some random ninja. "Could they be that strong?" he give him a worried look but nodded in agreement.

As they jumped from tree to tree,Boruto give quick glances to Mitsuki who seemed a bit out of it."What are you hiding from me Mitsuki?"
