Hi folks!

It's been quite a long time

I'm sorry if it took me long enough to update

I got busy with my work and somehow I lost the time frame.

I was away for a long time and even in my beloved facebook page Naruto Gaiden-Boruto and the next generation I took a long absence.. which I like to dedicate this chapter for my workaholic co admins of the page who took great care for it when I am unavailable.

I was so happy seeing so many notifications in my account and that I gained more followers even though I haven't got any update on this story.

Somehow I find the passion to write at this hour since it's my day off and since I had receive a review from this guy calling himself the Shadow.. (This is his review)

The Shadow

I suggest anyone who's a fan of Naruto read this before you read this this is not another fanfiction this is a hack writer posing as a Naruto fanfic artist he has doesn't know what he's writing about and he puts Naruto in the modern world try to keep in mind this guy's a hack writer posing as a fan please disregard this fanfiction and please read this review before you actually read it thank you

I'm laughing at this and somehow this become my motivation to write. Mr Shadow, I am not a hack writer posing as Naruto fanfic artist,,heck I didn't know that term existed. I'm just a regular fan fiction writer of Naruto who find passion on my creative imagination to write fantastic story for Naruto by which I heard this site is called fan fiction right? So I have a freedom to choose a genre or the type of story I wish in here.

I'm not angry with you because you made me laugh sir. Please know first the writer before you write a not so good and absurd review sir.


Shattered Chapter 15 "Blood Spill"

..

..

"Hinata"

That name…

hearing him calls her with that name had pound her heart like it could burst any moment.

"Ahmmm- Ano…Its Hanabi Otsutsuki, Na-Naruto-sa-san" she stuttered, recalling how she casually called him Naruto-kun a while ago. Though she doesn't know what comes to her when she called him that.

"What are you talking about?!" Naruto on the other line shouted which has taken her aback.

"Ahmmmm…."

"You are Hinata! Hinata Uzumaki, You are my wife and you live in Konoha, You are born from the proud Hyuuga cla—

"Naruto!" Another voice was heard that somehow had put Naruto from being hysterical on the phone.

She remain quiet, hands shaken while holding the telephone , eyes open wide, anticipation kicking in. but what is it that she has been anticipating?

"I'm sorry" A calm voice said after a minute of silence.

"Wh-What are you apologizing for Naruto-san?"

"For shouting at you when I know you might get confused. I'm sorry for that." He said in a calm voice.

Ba-dump

There it goes again that pumping of her heart just by hearing his voice.

"But I won't resort on calling you Hanabi, since it's not right that you will be called by that name." Naruto said with sincerity on his voice.

Hanabi is lost for words, how can she respond to it.

And a silent moment ensued with only their slow and nervous breathing can be heard.

"I…" Naruto broke the silence. "I… I truly miss you Hinata"

Hanabi unconsciously places her hand on her chest, Naruto's voice saying he miss her sounds so sincere, so broken and she can sense that he is crying on the other line. She can feel the longingness from his voice.

But would it be right for her to let this happen?

She doesn't know who she really is nor what really happen to her before she had open her eyes and sees darkness but would that be a reason for her to say that she might be this Hinata, the wife that this man had lost long time ago? Would that be an enough reason for her to claim that she might be her and give Naruto a hope? What if she isn't Hinata?

Can she stand giving a man a hope and then crushed it in the end if she might not be the one he is claiming her to be?

At first hearing someone might know who she was had her hopes rise again after it was trampled when Himawari almost died two years ago. She had lost hope of finding her family, thinking that the reason why she is in that state was because her family had abandoned her. With that in heart she stops thinking about who she was before she was named Hanabi.

She won't deny that she felt happy hearing someone might really know her after all these years but what if this Naruto is wrong? What if she is not Hinata? Can she give this man a hope and then crushed it if she can't prove to be the one he is looking for?

He sounds so broken and so desperate already can she give this guy a false hope?

Is she ready for that?

"Hinata?"

"Ahh..Ano—Naruto-san, I prefer if you call me Hanabi and not Hinata." She calmly said.

"What?"

"Ano- I heard about you losing your wife Hinata, and I am calling not to tell you that I am her, but to tell you that you got it wrong. I am Hanabi and not Hinata, I don't want you to have a false hope thinking that I might be your wife. So please don't call me-

"Hinata." Naruto said once more. "The way you talk, the way you stutter, even when I can't see you right now but just hearing your voice, I am confident that it is you. You are my Hinata and I won't lose you again. You don't remember who I am but I clearly do remember who you are. You are the woman I ever loved, you mean the world to me and I'll promise you I'll do everything so we can be together again, and this time we will be a Family. You, me, Boruto and Himawari. That's why I won't take a rest not until you are in my arms again, I will never go back on my words that's what I always believed in" Naruto said calmly and with sincerity. "No rather, that's what we both believed in Hinata."

She was shaken… I Will never go back on my words…family… you, me, boruto and himawari. Those words had went through her.

She can't stop from shaking… This feeling… This emotion… This Hope… She want it, she want it so bad.

Tears falls in her blind eyes as she tries her best not to sob and have Naruto hears it, but she can't stop it…How can she stop it when just hearing Naruto's voice and listening to his words had cut deep within her.

"My Lady?" Tamaki calls her seeing her sobbing and with tears.

"P-Please…" She pleaded… "Please hurry up, Naruto" She pleaded and quickly hung up the phone.

..

..

_...


"Naruto?"

Sasuke came closer as Naruto slowly hung up the phone.

"Sasuke, Tell everybody to get ready. "

Naruto said with his eyes glowing in such determination like the one Sasuke saw years ago when he promised him to make Hinata happy.

..

..


"My Lady? You…" Tamaki was lost for wods as she comforts the sobbing Hanabi.

"Tamaki-san, I don't want to give him false hope but hearing him calling me Hinata had made me so happy. My heart seems like longing for him. I want; I want to be that Hinata." She cried out.

"Shhh… My Lady, I understand, I deeply understand my Lady." Tamaki cried out as she comforts Hanabi.

Since Hanabi came into their life she knows all her struggle, her pain and her sufferings.

Years ago her mother and father adopted a woman they said they found in the river but somehow she knows something is odd about her parents story but she didn't press it on them, as they helped the woman and welcomed her like a member of their family and named her Hanabi since that is what her parents had chosen.

She knows how long Hanabi wished to unravel the mystery of her past, she knows how she wanted to be found and now that someone is giving her that hope she knows how much would it really mean to this fragile woman.

..

..


..

"Psssttt Oi..Himawari" Boruto softly wakes up her sister.

"Hmmm? Nii-san? Why it's still so early?" Himawari asked while halfly asleep.

"I'm going out somewhere so you'll stay with mom today okay?"

"Ha? Where are you going?" Himawari rubbed her eyes and took a peak on the clock. "It's 3 in the morning nii –san."

"Dad promised me for an early spar today. I want to be as early as possible so I can impress him." Boruto grin.

"Ehh?" and that what made Himawari awake. "Can I come?"

"hmmmm…if you go out on the bed right now and get caught you'll be in big trouble. And it will arise great suspicion in this house. The last thing we wish for is to be suspicious. I always goes for an early exercise in the morning so it's not something unusual."

"yeah..you are right." Himawari agreed with a sad expression on her face.

"Don't worry, this is only temporary Hima-chan. Remember that uncle Shikamaru said that with Dad's influence the DNA won't take a day for a result. Next Day and the next day onwards will be together with Dad every minute and hour."

Himawari happily nodded.

"So go back to sleep."

..

..


..

Slowly with his soccer bag and soccer shoes at hand he tiptoed in the hallway to avoid making noise that could wake up anyone in this house.

"Boruto-kun?"

"Yay!"Boruto yelp as Sumire Kakei-Tamaki's long distant cousin who also work as a maid in the mansion sneaks behind him.

"Soccer practice?" She asked eyeing at Boruto's shoes and bag.

"hehe..Yeah… Shhhhhh. You don't see me okay?" He pleads at her.

"Come here" Sumire pulls him to the opposite direction of the house.

"hey..What is it?"

"There's a secret passage door in here that will lead you to outside the gate. It's kind of like a tunnel build long time ago. So you don't have to climb and jump on the high walls again." She said and then opens the secret door in the wall by pressing her palm on it.

"ehhh..I didn't know that. Thank you Sumire." Boruto grin at her. "Although how come you know about this? And why you are telling me about this?"

"Ehhh? Ano-ano- I was cleaning the other day and discover it by accident. And then I thought it might be helpful to you since you always been escaping the mansion"She nervously stuttered and avoids eye contact with Boruto.

"Hmmmm..you're really cute" Boruto blurted seeing how Sumire stuttered and blush while talking to him. She is always like this since they were kids.

Hearing the word cute had made Sumire run as quickly as she can.

"Ehh? Oh well I guess it's my hint to go." He said and as he is about to enter the door when he heard footsteps on the hallway, he quickly closed the secret door and hides behind a statue. Instead of entering the secret tunnel he decided to see who owns those footsteps at this hour in the mansion.

"You called for me?" Orochimaru asked as he enters Toneri's office. "You seem stressed?"

"Shut up." Toneri snapped at him. He is looking at the moon outside while sitting on his chair.

"Do you know that I heard something interesting tonight?"

"Ohhh..something had caught up your attention other than Ms. Hanabi? I wonder what that is." Orochimaru smiled slyly but his smile doesn't last for long as he saw the spark on Toneri's eyes. He know those eyes very well.

Orochimaru eyed on the phone at top of Toneri's lap. Toneri had everything under control in this mansion even when all those who lived there are blinded for it. He has every eyes and ears on this house. That's why Orochimaru is so careful in using telephone on this house.

"I heard Hanabi talking with that bastard Naruto an hour ago."Toneri said emitting a dark aura.

"Tell me Orochimaru? How many people should die so I can keep a woman?" He asked but receives no response to Orochimaru who only looked at him intensely.

..

..


Slowly he lean his ear on the door of Toneri's office and tries to listen. Curiosity beats him to it.

"Something interesting is happening Boruto"

A voice whisper behind him that almost made him scream but a hand had already stopped him from screaming.

"Shhhhh.." Mitsuki warn as he signals for Boruto to listen inside.

..

..


"Contact the Akatsuki and tell them to send men to do the dirty work again." Toneri commanded.

"You know that the Akatsuki had changed over the years and will only kill those who are evil enough too diminished. They will show mercy for the innocence." Orochimaru said. "Naruto Uzamaki and his gang are good news even in to the underworld realm. They might not wish to accomplish what you desire."

"They will do it if we send them a false report of that bastard Naruto."

"ohhhh… one step ahead without my advice." Orochimaru complimented.

"You know what to do Orochimaru. That bastard Naruto and his friends kill them all and live no evidence of their existence. And I want it right now before the dawn breaks."

..

..


"Boruto?" Mitsuki call as Boruto came rushing in towards a secret door after he hears what Toneri ordered Orochimaru to do.

"I'm going to warn my dad. You stay here Mitsuki and pretend you know nothing. Once I warned my father I will be back for my mom and sister. I know that stupid man won't do any of them harm but please look at my sister and mother for me while I'm gone. I'll be right back dattebasa!" He said and quickly gets inside the secret tunnel and closes the door leaving Mitsuki.

"You know I will always protect what you wish for me to protect Boruto." Mitsuki blurted as Boruto came inside the secret tunnel his father had created long time ago. He didn't know Boruto would have learned about it. He is been using that tunnel as he pleases as well.

..

..


"Is that what you really want?"

"Do I look not serious enough for you?!" Toneri shouted.

"You look like someone who is so obsessed, lost and defiant. I have you know that the Akatsuki leader is N-

"Do it now!" Toneri shouted again as he throws the telephone towards Orochimaru hitting the latter on his head.

"As you wish." Orochimaru bowed and took his leave but with a sly smile on his face. Never minding the red fluid that runs from his head to his cheek.

..

..


"Father?"

Orochimaru eyed his son who came inside his office as he had given a phone call to the Akatsuki group. A group of famous assassins where he was once a member.

"Yes. That is all and I want it done." He said and ends the conversation.

"Mitsuki lots of changes will happen today." He smiled at his son. "I can smell blood spilling before the dawn breaks."

"As long as it's not Boruto's blood I'm fine with it."

Orochimaru smiled. "Who knows."

"Promise me that Father. Whatever Uncle's nonsense had pushed him to do you will make sure Boruto will be safe." Mitsuki eyed Orochimaru coldly and then left his father's office to guard and watch over Himawari and Hanabi as what Boruto had asked him to do.

"My my what troublesome kids nowadays." Orochimaru commented as he wipes the dried blood on his forehead. "Reminds me so much of my younger years.." He added and laughed alone as he looks at the picture of him and his two friends Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"Who would have thought that our troubles Jiraiya will reach out to some members of our family eh?" he laughed.

..

..


..

..

"Tamaki-san?"

A knock and calls from outside her quarter had woke her up. He slowly gets out of the bed being careful not to wake Sumire who seems to have just fallen asleep.

"What is it Akiyo?"

"Toneri-sama had called for you." Said Akiyo. One of Toneris' trusted security personnel in the mansion.

"Ehh? At this hour? Why?"

"I didn't know but it seems too important."

Tamaki stiffened. She has a bad feeling about this.

"Let's go now Tamaki-san."

"I'm going to tell my Lady for a while that I am called." Tamaki said and tries to goes to the direction of Hanabi's room.

"Toneri-sama said it's no need."

"But if my Lady needed something I won't be able to hear her calling so at least I need to tell her that I am not in my room." Tamaki reason out trying to supress the tension and nervousness she is feeling.

"I said now Tamaki-san." Akiyo warns that made Tamaki shiver as Akiyo holds her elbows and guided her towards where Toneri wanted her to be.

My Lady.. She mentally calls out to Hanabi as Akiyo leads her not to Toneri's office but to the restricted area of the mansion. There is a huge room that Toneri forbids anybody from entering aside from those who he seems to trust so much.

"What are we doing here Akiyo?" She nervously asked.

"Toneri-sama wishes for you to come and see him in here. Please get inside Tamaki-san." Akiyo opens the door and seeing Tamaki petrified look and sensing she seems not budging to get in that he pulled her inside.

"Akiyo wait!" But her strength is no match for Akiyo. She was quickly pulled inside the forbidden room or should she say the forbidden doom. Her eyes can see nothing but darkness, not even the light from the moon outside can enter such darkness.

"Akiyo?" She calls out. "What is this all of a sudden? Why bring me here?" She asked and tries to reopen the door when a wooden stick hits the back of her head and instantly she falls down flat on her face. Before she succumbs to her darkness she saw a light from a lighted candle and two pairs of feet standing feet away from her.

"Thank you for your service Tamaki." Said the cold voice. "And as well as your betrayal. Just like what your parents did."

My Lady…

Her only thoughts are for her and with her remaining strength she tries to crawl towards the door.

I have to protect you.. I promised Mama and Papa that I will.

As she tries to reach for the door her mind had brought her to the past

..


..

"Is she awake?" a young woman asked as she had arrived home from working in the farm with her father.

"Yes, She is in your room waiting for you to come home Tamaki." The old woman smiled tenderly as she is finishing her chores in the kitchen. "Dinner will be ready soon. Tell Hanabi that I cooked her favorite."

"I will." She happily answered.

..

..

"Hanabi-san! I'm home." Tamaki calls out as she enters the small room of their small house where Hanabi would probably be knitting.

"Tamaki-san. Welcome home." The blind woman greeted her as her blank eyes looks at her as if she knows where she is. A small smile drawn from her face as she sees what she has been knitting.

"I thought you'll be knitting baby clothing this time" Tamaki commented eyeing at some of Hanabi's finished product. "These are all scarfs"

"Hmmmm…. It's because it's getting colder now and you and Father are working so hard in the farm and chopping the woods so I made you both a scarf to help you getting warm." The kind and gentle Hanabi said and continues to knit.

"It's amazing really how you can do knitting without even seeing them. You're a prodigy on that." She complimented. "Anyway don't be too hard on yourself for doing that okay? and take some good rest. The babies needed good rest as well"

"I will" Hanabi smiled so gently and still continues to knit.

"Oh well, I think I should get our bath ready then. Mother had cooked your favorite meal and father brought you some fruits from the farm. I'll be right back once the bath is ready." She informed and took her leave to get ready for their bath. She had taken her first step outside their small house when she spotted her old parents talking to a man on the horse.

A few words came out from the man's mouth before he took his leave.

"Mama? Papa?" She called out as she went closer to where her parents were standing. "That's the mayor right? What is he doing in a place like this?" She asked eyeing at the most powerful man in their province who is far away from sight already.

"Ahhh nothing, he was just asking about the crops we have." Her father answered.

"That's odd." She said. "He could have asked somebody to do that task for him. But whatever, it is great that the mayor would take interest with our harvest we might be the one to be asked to deliver fruits for him every day in his mansion." She smile happily.

"yeah that would be nice." Her mother answered coldly, eyes on the ground as she went inside their house.

"Mama?" She called out. "Papa? Is there something wrong with mother?"

Her father avoided her eye contact and scratched the back of her old silver hair. "She's maybe tired or hungry, that's all, maybe you should get ready and have a bath while I'll go and feed the chicken."

Tamaki eyed her father. She find it strange for them to look so down and worry after talking with the mayor. Since she was a child she heard great stories of how good the Otsutsuki clan to their people and how her parents were once a servant of that mansion before they decided to bought a piece of land and do farming.

Well everything has been strange. Since Hanabi came into their life everything turns strange. Even their feelings and love for that woman is strange, because Hanabi had this gentleness that can melt their heart. Its strange cause they had welcomed this woman, cared for her and loved her even without knowing who she really is.

She tries asking for help in the nearest city, to know who Hanabi is and if her family is looking for her, but every time she attempts to go to the city to do that there is always strange things going to happen to her parents. Like they would suddenly fall ill or at least she can tell that they were pretending to be ill in that moment. Her father had kept her busy at day helping in the farm because she knows that it's the only way that her father can stop her from going to the city to investigate about Hanabi. It's strange that it seems her parents know what and who exactly is Hanabi and if she tries to ask them they would always change the topic or talk about something else instead.

Sometimes she thinks that her parents might be hiding something about Hanabi and it scared them if the truth will come out.

..


..

"It's a twin" Tamaki happily announced as sweat came rolling down her head after Hanabi had successfully delivers her twin.

"That's nice." Her father cried happily. "Hanabi will have a brand new life with her children. I'm sure of that."

"Mama is really amazing Papa. She had helped Hanabi-san all throughout the ordeal. But really seeing how baby came out makes me not wanting to have one." She shivers remembering how they just helped Hanabi from delivering the twins.

Her father laughs seeing her shiver. "Come Tamaki, Let's greet the new members of our family.

A Family. Yes that's what they are back then.

A family that protects helps and care for each other. Having the twins had made their life blissful. With them that gives them smile each day.

..

..


"Tamaki-san!" Himawari shouted as she waves her hand to her.

"Hima-chan your face is dirty." She commented and took a clean handkerchief on her bag and wipes the dirt on the young Himawari's face. "Where's your brother?"

"Soccer practice." Himawari happily answered and point at her brother's direction who is in the soccer field showing his awesome skills.

"ohhh..Boruto-kun always looks so cool playing soccer neh?"

"Yeah, but he is much cooler when he practice his martial art." Himawari complimented as she cheer for her brother. "Nii-san!" She screamed and waves her hands towards her brother as Boruto waves back at her little sister with a grin. "Hurry up! Tamaki-san is here!"

"I'm sorry Tamaki-san" Boruto apologizes as he quickly gathered his things and runs towards them.

"It's alright, I wasn't here very long but Boruto your jacket seems to be missing again?" She quickly took of her jacket and wrapped it on Boruto, But Boruto being so loving and understanding quickly stopped her from doing so.

"It's alright Tamaki-san, I'm not feeling cold yet. I'm sorry I lost my jacket again, I'll be more careful next time."

"Neh ni-san? Did the girls took your jacket again?" Himawari teased.

"yeah they always act weird about it. It's scary."

Tamaki laughed hearing the reason of Boruto's another missing jacket. He is always been so popular with the girls but he seems not to understand it at all and took the girls action as weird.

..

..


"ehh? Who is that talking to mom?" Himawari asked as they were approaching their small and warm house.

"That's the mayor." Tamaki answered while worrying for this is like the 30th time that the mayor came into visit since he had known Hanabi.

"Again? What does he want this time?" Boruto angrily asked and quickly fasten his pace to approach his mother.

Tamaki followed worried about what the mayor has been doing all this time. Since Mayor Otsutsuki and Hanabi had a fateful encounter at the farm not too long ago the mayor seems to have taken an interest on Hanabi and he always pays visit to their home every afternoon, pretending to wanted to talk to his parents or buying what they have harvested. But the truth is she knows what the mayor wanted, she is a woman and she knows how to look at men who seems to be smitten and infatuated with a woman beauty.

What makes him worry is not that the mayor is a bad person or anything, but it's because she is aware that Hanabi would not reciprocate his feeling. Hanabi had always had heart towards her children and she makes it clear to everyman who came to their house to court her that she is not interested for any man in her life. Which is why her father and mother are reluctant to leave Hanabi in the house so they always brought her with them to the field. To protect her from lusting men. But now it's the Mayor-the most powerful man in their province who is smitten with Hanabi. Her parents seems to fear not to let the Mayor had a conversation with Hanabi, because before they would always chase away any male that took interest on Hanabi, but right now her parents seems to be scared of chasing the mayor away. But who doesn't anyway.

"What are you doing here geezer?"

Tamaki quickly sweat dropped as Boruto approaches the Mayor and quickly insulted the man.

"Boruto, that's not a nice thing to say." Hanabi reprimanded her son.

"Mama, it's cold out here, let's go inside." Himawari said and quickly escorted her mother towards the house. "Excuse me Mayor-san but it's time for my mom to warm up." Himawari politely said but her eyes were cold eyeing at the mayor.

Ohhh well there are someone who were not afraid of the mayor and it's the twin.

"geez, the geezer don't even have a consideration that it's so cold this month." Boruto commented while trying to intimidate the mayor.

"I'm sorry Toneri-sama, I hope you won't find the kids words as insolent in your presence." Tamaki quickly apologizes and tries to have boruto do the same thing. But Boruto won't seem to care.

"It's alright Tamaki-san. I completely understand how the kids felt. Anyway I was here to inform Hanabi that the seamstress took a liking of her knitted clothings and wishes to order it to her store. Seems like Hanabi is reluctant but maybe you can talk to her and encourage her to accept it. The seamstress seems to pay big for it. I know you and your parents wanted what is best for Hanabi, think about it. Thank you." Toneri smiled and didn't wait for Tamaki to response and then he took his leave. "Goodbye Boruto-kun."

"Yeah don't comeback." Boruto replied and went inside the house.

Tamaki looks at the mayor who is now riding on his horse . "you take it too far just to impress her."

..

..


"So do you have a plan to accept it?" Tamaki asked as she and Hanabi are still up for the night. The twins and her parents are already asleep.

"I don't know. He got lots of proposal to me. I know he is a kind man but I don't think I should accept it. People would talk about that and the last thing I wanted is to have another gossip to be heard by Boruto and Himawari."

"Yeah, that's what I think as well. But he seems so serious about you."

"I already told him that I could never reciprocate his feelings for me."

"But-"

"But?"

"But somehow if you think about it Hanabi-san. If you become the mayor's woman you could have everything you wanted. You can escape the poverty we are having here."

Hanabi shooked her head. "I never wanted everything. I only want you, Mother , Father, Boruto and Himawari to live happily with me. That is all what I wanted."

Tamaki smiled and for so many times she admired Hanabi all over again. Her gentle smile always had save her many times.

But does gentle smile doesn't last forever.

..


..

"She needed surgery, due to the collisions she had received , moreover there is an open fracture with wounds on her right leg, so an immediate surgery is necessary"

Hearing those words from the doctor had shattered them.

"So you mean, my Hima-chan , Even if we can have the money for her surgery she might not gonna walk again? " Hanabi cried as the doctor look at them with pity.

"We don't have any guarantee on that. Moreover there is no sign of her waking up yet."

'"Please! I beg you ! Save my Himawari. We will find our best to gather the money. Just please do help her" Hanabi cried and plead but no matter how hard she screams Tamaki knows that there is nothing to be done. They don't have the money that is needed for it. More to the fact that they can barely to afford their provincial hospital.

..

..


..

"What is going on? Why I'm not allowed to see Hima-chan?" Boruto stubbornly asked as Tamaki asked doesn't wish for him to come with her to the hospital and leaves him under the grandparents care. "I want to see Hima-chan! It's my fault for not watching over her. It's my fault that he got hit by that stupid driver! Please I want to see Himawari" Boruto cried out.

"I'm sorry Boruto, but Hima-chan needed to rest and she can't afford to have so many visitors."

"I'm not a visitor! I am her brother Tamaki-san. You heard me? I am his brother!"

"Shhhh Boruto, Shouting like that won't help. Come and help me take some of Himawari's clothes and I promise you I'll bring you tomorrow to see Himawari. So please stay here today and take good care of your grandmother and grandfather. Alright?"

Boruto nodded. "That's a promise dattebasa" he said.

"Now quickly grabs some clothes for Himawari. I'll go and prepare some meal to bring to your mom." She said and hurriedly went inside the kitchen where she was greeted with her parents who are sitting on the wooden chair, eyes swollen from crying for Himawari.

"I'll make an obentou for Hanabi." She said trying not to cry. She needs to be strong for them, for Boruto, for Hanabi and for Himawari. So she can't show any sign of hopelessness.

"Tamaki." Her mother called out. "There is something we can do to help Himawari." Her mother started.

"My dear." Her father tries to halfly stopped her mother from talking.

"There is nothing we can do. We need to help Himawari. They had suffered enough." Her mother said to her father by which her father nodded as a sign of agreeing.

"What is it?" He curiously sits down beside them.

"We will go and contact Hanabi's family." Her mother said.

"What? But mother how? We don't even know if Hanabi even have one."

Her father shook his head. "We somehow know her true family. Years ago when she was brought to us, we were told to hide her and burn all her things. And if she dies then we should bury her in secrecy. But before we burned all of her things, we took note of some of information about her. And so when the twins were born I went into the city and tried to ask about her family and I had confirmed that she had one. If I go there now and tell them that she is alive for sure there will be a chance to save Himawari."

"Papa! All this time you and Mama lied to Hanabi?" Tamaki exclaimed. Not believing how her parents had deceived them all these years. "Don't you know what you have done?! You make Hanabi and the kids life miserable? Not even once you dare to speak about knowing her past! How could you!" She yelled at them as tears stream down her eyes.

"We know. I am so sorry Tamaki. We will set things right." Her mother said.

"Don't say you are sorry to me. You tell that to Hanabi! Tell that to Boruto and Hima-chan whose life is in peril now because of you!" She cried out. "That's right! It's because of you two that they are living in this miserable life. It's because of you two! This is your entire fault"

"Tamaki-san, why are you shouting at grandma and grandpa?" Boruto who came inside the kitchen asked innocently wondering what happen.

Tamaki quickly wipes away her tears. "I'm sorry Boruto, Its nothing." She said and quickly took the obentou she had prepared. "Come Boruto I'll bring you to Himawari today."

"Really? You said its tomorrow and that I have to take good care of grandma and grandpa." Boruto wondered.

"Mother and Father had an important business to do so you should come with me."

"Okay! Thank you Tamaki-san ttebassa" Boruto happily said and quickly runs outside. "Hurry up Tamaki-san! "

Tamaki leave a final word to her parents as she is about to leave halfway through the door. "Do it right now. Go to her family and set things right for them."

Yes, she says her final words to them because later that night when she arrived home with Boruto from the hospital, their door were painted red , her parents body were brutally murdered and important things inside their house were missing. It rolled out as a home invasion case but deep inside she knows it's not the case. Someone really wanted her parents dead.

Mama, Papa, if only you could have told me what you've been hiding then maybe Hanabi-san would have lived a happy life. Maybe she will not resort of marrying Toneri-sama just to save Himawari's life. Maybe she won't have to cry every day. Maybe she won't have to shed tears of longingness to her family, maybe we won't have that argument and you still live to this day.

Is this is how I will meet you both?

Please… help me protect Hanabi..

"Where is Kiba?" Ino asked seeing Kiba isn't around the house as he handed Sasuke and Naruto a cup of coffee.

"He is on his way to meet up with them." Naruto answered.

"Ohh… that's good. And Shikamaru?"

"Just on time." Shikamaru speak out as he enters the house with files of documents at hand. Behind him is a red haired woman with eyeglasses.

"Karin-nee." Naruto greeted Karin as she came into view but Karin quickly disregards him as soon as he saw Sasuke.

"So this is what you mean by one step ahead neh Naruto?" Sasuki asked seeing Naruto's cousin Karin who is a well-known private detective.

"Sasuke-kun long time no see. You are still as handsome as always." She blushed and tries to give Sasuke a hug but Sasuke quickly dismissed Karin by a simple nod.

"Karin-nee, let's get started, hugging Sasuke is not what you are here for." Naruto reprimanded his cousin.

"Geez, don't be so hot headed you fool." Karin gets back at him and she quickly took the documents from Shikamaru's hand. "It's your fault for having Shikamaru fetch me from the station and not Sasuke-kun." She retorded. "Anyway this is what I dig about that Toneri-guy you wished to investigate. With the limited amount of time you have given me but with limitless resources I got I had easily attained information about him. And here is the report I have when I dig deeper on Hinata's case thirteen years ago."

Naruto took the folder in hand and opens it but as he is about to read it a loud bang on the door happen and along comes Boruto with bruises and blood all over..

"Boruto?! What happen to you?" Naruto quickly comes to aid his son.

"Boruto?" Karin eyed the young boy who looks exactly like her cousin. She looks at Ino with a questioning look. Ino just nod in response.

"Dad! Quickly, you need to get out from here." Boruto said panting. He is been through a lot of hell running all the way from the mansion to where Naruto is. He had accidentally falls of the steepy cliff as he took a shortcut on his way. But despite his bruises his desire to save his dad and warn him is far greater than minding his cuts and his bleeding torso which got stabbed by a sharp branch of a tree when he fell.

"Boruto, you are bleeding. Ino Quick!" Naruto shouted seeing his son bleeds a lot from a deep cut. Seems like he got stabbed by something sharp. Panic is evident in Naruto's voice.

"Dad! Listen you need to get out from here. That geezer is planning to kill you!" He yelled at Naruto and then darkness took over him.

"Boruto!"

"Are you in the location?" A man's voice from the other side of the line asked as she prepares her 338 Lapua Magnum.

"Yes affirmative. The targets are in that house."

"Leave no trace of them as much as possible."

"You got it. So lucky I'm just nearby and I have Sasori and Kisame for that." She said and pulls the trigger aiming at the shadows she see through the window of that house. "Their evil deeds ends here." And she sends dozens of bullets toward her target

"The order is to kill her right away to end her sufferings." A man's voice said as he took a sharp knife.

"Hurry it up and throw her in the river. The master said that we should not take too long."

"I know, I know. Too bad though, I somehow had a crush on her. Let me savor her for a while with my kniife" The man said and holds the knife and pierce the unconscious woman on her right legs, and then another one, and then another stabbed… He laughed like a maniac as he pierced through and through the woman's leg and then next hell goes above where he could pierce her heart over and over again. Overkilling? No he was just having fun. Like how he killed her parents years ago.

"Stop playing around Akiyo" his comrade said " Pierce her hea-Ahhhhgggg!"

His comrades screamed in pain had him stopped. "What the?"

And blood came into the river.

"Lots of bloods are spilling today."

Mitsuki looks at the moon coldly. As he can notice of how the dawn emits a blood color.

Inside his uncle office he can hear his uncles laughing happily as his father announces that a job has been done and carried.

Until now Boruto hasn't returned, if something bad might happen to Boruto he will surely let the blood flood on this mansion.


There you go everyone!
