Next day...

Boruto woke up refreshed, his body stopped hurting except for his still paralyzed right leg, the blonde wanted to move but he felt that something was preventing him, opening his eyes saw Sarada sleeping on his chest, what caught Boruto's attention was the unbuttoned buttons of her nightgown, which revealed a little cleavage, the blonde tried to look away blushing. A few moments later, Sarada began to wake up.

"Good morning Boruto" she said rubbing her eyes

"Good morning Sarada," he replied, still staring away

"What is?"

"No, I just think she should adjust her shirt"

Sarada raised an eyebrow not knowing what Boruto was about, only when she looked down her face blushed quickly, she buttoned her shirt, then left the tent, letting Boruto get dressed. After about thirty minutes, Boruto was walking on crutches through the village, suddenly meeting Shikadai on the road.

"O Shikadai, it's been a long time"

Shikadai narrowed his eyes at Boruto, in an instant grabbed him by the collar and slammed into the building.

"Shikadai stop what are you doing?" Sarada screamed

"Where the hell were you when the village was under attack?" he asked in a rather serious tone

"I was in training ..."

"Did you train yourself while the village was under attack, letting Inojin, ChoCho, Mitsuki and many other villagers die?"

Boruto did not know what to say, he noticed that his friend's eyes were full of anger but most of all sadness "

"So you won't say anything then"

Shikadai clenched his fists and was about to deliver Boruto a punch in the face.

"Enough Shikadai!" Shikamaru said

"Father"

"I understand how you feel, but Boruto is the last person you should blame and what happened is not his fault the villagers were killed, he tried his best to defeat the enemy."

"You're right, I'm sorry Boruto, my nerves are a bit overwhelmed"

"Fine"

One week later...

The reconstruction of the village began, Boruto returned to full fitness, the blonde was in the cemetery at his mother's grave.

"I didn't want it to end like this," he said, laying down light

Boruto also visited the graves of Mitsuki and Inojin, as soon as it got dark the blonde returned to his temporary apartment, where Himiwari was waiting for him.

"Finally you are Onii-chan, sit down, I just made dinner"

"Thanks"

The next day, Boruto went to meet Konohamaru.

"What, are you saying you're leaving the village?"

"Yes, there are some places I want to visit"

"I understand, well, your choice is to answer my calls only in case something happens"

"Sure"

Boruto stood in front of the place where the gate of the village once stood, was about to leave it, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Boruto!"

"Sarada ..."

"Are you really leaving?"

"Yes"

"When are you coming back?"

"I don't know ... but I'll be back, I promise," he said, poking her forehead with his fingers, making her blush

"See you Sarada!"
