Chapter Five: "That Blonde dude"

..

..

"So basically you and your mom had a fight over someone who is dead?" Cho Cho said while stuffing her mouth with food. "So that's why we are skipping classes today ha?"

"I didn't ask for you to come with me yah know?'' Sarada said while her chin is resting on her hands while keeping count of the number of burgers that Cho Cho had consumed. She meets her along her way to school. Truth is she doesn't have a plan to go to school, not after her face is swollen a little and not after her argument with her mother.

"yeah, you didn't but when you said you're skipping well it's an invitation that I can't say no. Hey! I'm out of fries!" she exclaimed and quickly went to the counter to order another fries.

In a minute Cho Cho is back with 5 fries and 5 burgers.

"Cho Cho! How about your diet?"

"Ohhh Sarada how cruel of you! This is my diet already for crying out loud. Haven't you noticed that my waistline is getting thinner?"

Sarada rolled her eyes knowing she won't win this kind of argument with Cho Cho. "Wooohh he is kind of cute." Cho cho said as she eyed a teenager who just got in.

"Sarada! Look! That blonde guy is cute." Cho Cho said dreamily in between chewing her burger.

Sarada didn't show any reaction, nor even try looking at the guy Cho Cho's eyes are glued into. She always has a thing for cute guys anyway.

"Oh my Sarada, the other costumers are staring at him. He is really a cutie!"

"Ohh please Cho Cho just finish your food so we can get out from here rather than melting on that guy you're eyeing with. I'm sure Shino sensei will tell my mother and your parents that we skip today." She crossed her arms towards Cho Cho.

"Ohh come on don't be such a killjoy. Just because you're popular like me that every guy in school are eyeing us doesn't mean we should not find guys outside in school cute. And anyway this guy seems familiar Sarada.'' Cho Cho said while still eyeing on the guy.

"I'm going ahead. I want to spar with someone to make me feel better"

"But I'm not yet done here!"

"I'm going ahead!" Sarada said and gets up on her seat. "Just go home without m-"

"Sarada!" Cho Cho exclaimed as Sarada bump on the person Cho Cho was eyeing a while ago.

Luckily Sarada had good reflexes that she was able to catch the guy's drinks as it almost fell on the ground when she accidentally bumps into him. Sarada took notice that the guy had a good reflex as well, as he was able to catch his burger and fries.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you." She embarrassingly apologized especially that the other costumers are looking at them.

"Neh, it's okay." The guy said as he took the drinks in Sarada's hand. "It's my fault for not looking anyway dattebasa!" he said and he grins at her.

"dattebasa?" Sarada softly repeated as she takes a good and closer look on the guy. Her mouth are slightly open as she took note of the guys face.

The guy took a little bow and he went pass her. Probably to find an empty seat.

..


..

..

"I told you he is a cutie right?" Cho Cho teased as they are walking in the busy street of Konoha.

"He—"

"He what? A cutie? Hot? Too bad we left without asking his name. If I see him again I would surely asked his number aside from getting his name."

"He looks like Chairman Naruto." Sarada said making Cho Cho stopped from walking.

"So that's it! That's why he seems familiar; he had a great similarities with the Chairman. He could be his relative."

"I don't know. The chairman doesn't have any other relative. He had a cousin but his cousin isn't married and I'm sure that the Chairman doesn't have a son of his own since his wife died a long time ago." She said thinking too hard to any possibility. She doesn't know why but she seem can't get this feeling off.

"well perhaps there's really what we called a clone. Remember when we have that lesson in Iruka-sensei's class?."

"Cho cho please be serious for once."

"Well explain it then? Other than that guy is a young clone version of the Chairman. I couldn't think of anything else."

Sarada decided not to answered Cho Cho and follow what her guts had told her. Confront the blonde teenager.

"Where are you going?"

"Well there's only one way to find out whose that guy is!" She said while running back to the fast food restaurant where he meets the guy.

..


..

..

"Well we tried asking anyone who might know him but nobody seems to know who he is. Maybe he is from another city and was just passing by. So bad though that he left when we returned. I would love to have his number" Cho Cho commented as she and Sarada came out from the fast food restaurant asking anyone who might know the guy.

"Hey Sarada! You seem to be quiet. I feel that you're disappointed you didn't get another chance to talk to that cutie."

Sarada brushed Cho Cho off, she had more important things in her mind than listening to Cho Cho's flirty antics about how cute that guy was. One thing in her mind is to ask the Chairman about the possibility of him having more relatives than he thought.

If then there might be a chance that she won't be the sole heiress of the chairman.

"Cho Cho I needed to go to the Chairman. Go home without me." She said and quickly run off.

"Wait! Not again!"

..


..

"The Chairman is having a meeting as of now Sarada-chan. He has an important guest inside." Shizune- the Chairmans' secretary informed her.

"Fine. But when would their meeting end?"

"I don't know. I'm sorry."

"Well tell the Chairman once he is done with his meeting that he should see me right away. I'll wait for him in the park."

..


..

"I should have said Ichiraku instead of the park!. Shanaroo it's so cold!"

Sarada exclaimed as she rub her hands on her shoulder to keep her warm while sitting on the bench waiting for the Chairman.

Suddenly a coat was handed to her.

"Used it or you'll freeze to death."

Sarada look at the guy who offered the coat to her.

"You?!" She exclaimed seeing the blonde guy again.

Surprised by his presence Sarada bolted up on her seat causing the blonde guy to stumble when he took a surprised back steps to prevent them from colliding with each other again.

The blonde guy fell on the cold snow.

"I'm sorry!" Sarada exclaimed.

"Geez, its cold!" the guy exclaimed and immediately stood up from the snow.

"Used this." He said and throws the coat on Sarada.

"Ahmmm.. Thank you I guess. But how about you?" Sarada said while having thoughts of using the coat herself seeing the guy was left with a white t shirt.

"Nah I'm fine. This cold won't kill me dattebasa!" He said acting so cool.

"dattebasa?"

"Hmmm? Somethings wrong?''

"ahmmm nothing! It's just that you sounded like someone I know."

"really? "

"Yeah..although he says dattebayo instead of dattebasa and…" sarada look closely at the guy.

She even closed the gap between them and tiptoed to get a closer look since the guy is much taller than her, causing the blonde guy to blush at the closeness of their faces.

"You look exactly like him!" She said..

..

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend already Boruto."

A silver haired guy who is much taller than blonde guy suddenly appeared standing in between them that made them jump away in surprise.

"Mitsuki! You should not scare people like that dattebasa!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to caught you and your girlfriend in an intimate moment." Mitsuki smiled apologetically.

..

"She's not my girlfriend -/Im not his girlfriend." The two said in unison.

"And you guys talk at the same time too. Amazing!" Mitsuki complimented.

"Whatever!" Boruto said knowing it's hard to explain everything to Mitsuki.

"Whatever you say when I can see that this young lady is wearing your coat."

"I just offered that to her cause she's almost freeze to death.!"

"And you're concern is evident Boruto. Young love." Mitsuki smiled went wide.

"Mitsuki stop it already you're smile creeps me out."

...

..

"Oi! Look what we've got here!"

The trio look at the group of 8 teenage boy who just arrived.

"It's Sarada-san and who are they?" the guy with a shades asked.

"None of your business Hiruko." Sarada answered angrily. Hiruko Kanata is her suitor in school. Despite so many times she dumped him he never gives up. Sometime he pick a fight with her male friends by which he always ends up being defeated by her friends Shikadai and Inojin, but still this guy never quit.

"Ohhh.. Hiruko, Sarada-san is wearing a coat that isn't hers." One of Hiruko's friend said.

Hiruko eyed at the coat Sarada is wearing and by the looks at it jealousy clouded him right away.

..

"Who among you two had flirted with my girlfriend?" he asked Boruto and Mitsuki who looked at each other dumbfounded by his question.

Sarada is on alert.

She knows Hiruko and his gang would beat the living out from this two guys.

She can't afford to have Hiruko messed with outsiders. Inojin and Shikadai can handle this gang so easily but this time Sarada doesn't know if these two guys know how to fight.

"Shut up Hiruko. I'm not your girlfriend now leave us." She said and grabs Boruto and Mitsuki's hands wanting them to be far from Hiruko and his gang immediately.

But one of Hiruko's friends blocks their way.

..

"I'll leave if you'll come with me and let's have a date." Hiruko said trying to sound cool.

"In your dreams." Sarada said and getting ready to fight them.

She don't have any worries fighting this gang, she done that before but however she had to fight them and protect this two guys here.

..

"Neh? Are you gonna fight those ugly folks?" Boruto asked making Sarada sweat dropped at his name calls on the gang.

..

"What, who are you calling ugly?!" Hiruko angrily shouted.

..

"Ahmmm..yeah, don't worry I've done this before just you two remain safe and don't engage." Sarada warned.

"ehhh? But you're a girl?" Boruto protested.

"They seem weak and I guess your girlfriend can handle them Boruto." Mitsuki commented.

..

"Girlfriend?! Did you say girlfriend?!1" Hiroku asked Mitsuki. "So this blonde idiotic freak guy is your boyfriend ha Sarada-san?"

"He is not my boyfriend!" Sarada shouted.

..

"hey Mitsuki. Did he just called me a—"

"Yap he does Boruto. He called you an idiotic freak guy."

"Well he is a pathetic loser who wanted to have a girlfriend but can't seem to have one." Boruto said while grinning widely at Hiruko.

"Why you idiot-" and Hiruko started his attack.

Sarada went in front of Boruto to protect her but Mitsuki pulled her away, when he looks at him he just smiled confidently at her.

"aggggghhh!"

Sarada look at Hiruko who scream from pain and holds his stomach. "ehhh?" she wondered what happen since Boruto seems to be standing still in the same position.

Hiruko's gang, seeing their leader hurt decided to launch an attack and Sarada who was watching and couldn't move to help went awed as how Boruto beat Hiruko's underling without a sweat and in a split of seconds.

He has a good combat skills, and he is fast. So fast and in fact Sarada can't help but admired his smile as he took the gang one by one with ease.

"Sugoi!" she exclaimed.

"Boruto is a gifted and genius in any form of martial arts jutsu you see."

"He studied martial art?"

"Yap. And that's one of the reasons why he wanted to be here in Konoha since he heard that Konoha is the birthplace of good martial artist."

"Sugoi!"

..

..

"Geez! They killed my excitement." Boruto exclaimed.

"I thought people here in Konoha are good fighters, but these guys are just a bunch of jerks who like to mess with a girls' life dattebasa!"

"Well at least you got a little action." Mitsuki comforted his friend.

"Yah right, let's go Mitsuki, we need to get back to Tsukikure as soon as possible." Boruto said and Mitsuki walked beside him..

..

"Ahmmmm hey?" Sarada called realizing that the two seem to forget about her. "Your coat?"

"Keep it!. Just returned it to me when we see each other again." Boruto said smiling at Sarada.

"Thank you then. I'm Sarada Uchiha anyway." Sarada said smiling at Boruto.

"Boruto."

and then he left with a smiling Mitsuki trailing behind him.

..


..

..

"When we see each other again?" Mitsuki repeated as they came inside the waiting car. "That's new. Didn't know Boruto would have an eye for a girl."

Boruto blushed at Mitsuki's words. "Shut up! I only said that because I want my coat back."

"You could have taken it right away when she offered. Just admit it you just want to see her again." Mitsuki teased.

"Shut up Mitsuki!"

..


..

..

"Sarada?" Naruto eyed Sarada demanding an explanation as to what happen. When he came to see her, he was greeted by a view of a group of boys beat up and lying in the snow.

"It wasn't me I swear Chairman!"

"Oh really since its only you I can think of who would do something like this. You're really like your mother, quite feisty."

" I told you it wasn't me. It was this guy of the same age as me from Tsukikure. He beat this guy out but they deserve this." Sarada insisted.

"from Tsukikure?"

"Yeah they said they are from Tsukikure."

"Well I have a visitors from Tsukikure a while ago must be someone who came with them."

"maybe."

"you said there is something you wanted to talk to me. Let's not talk it here and lets go to Ichiraku right away." Naruto grin at Sarada. "I'm kind of hungry you see."

Sarada smiled at Naruto. He sure wants company every time he goes to Ichiraku. Most especially this day since this day is Hinata's death anniversary.

"And while we are on our way I guess I have to call Sakura-chan and asked for paramedics to see if these kids have any serious injuries. Though I got to say the one who did it seems to did it really quick and with good precision. He attacks their pressure point." Naruto said while looking at the boys injuries.

"Really? He is that precise?"

"That kid is good. Really good. Hyuuga's are the only family who are known for using such technique. I didn't know there's a Hyuga in Tsukikure."

"He is not a Hyuga. His eyes aren't pale and they are blue. Which is much bluer than yours Chairman."

..

"Hmmm.. I see." Naruto said rubbing his chin. "Who's that coat you've got there? It's a male's coat Sarada."

"Ohh this? Well that guy had me borrowed it to him because I was feeling cold a while ago." She said while blushing and spinning around in front of the Chairman

"That's kind of him to-" And Naruto took notice of something in the jackets' back

"What is it Chairman?" Sarada asked when Naruto took a good look on her back.

His eyes went wide seeing the Uzumaki crest on the back of the coat.
