This is a cute story I came up with while watching Naruto Shippuden

"Mom, I'm home!" Boruto said. "Sarada's here too."

"I'm in the attic!" Hinata said. "I'm going through some stuff. Could you come help me?"

"Sure! Wanna help, Sarada?"

"Why not? Mom's working late tonight."

So the two of them went up to the attic, finding Boruto's mom Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki lifting a heavy box.

"Thanks for helping me, sweetie. You too, Sarada-chan."

"No problem, Mrs. Uzumaki. We were going to go hang out with everyone, but decided to help you out."

"Yeah. You work hard, so I should help out. Also, if I didn't, Sarada and I might have fallen for the old crash trap."

"Yeah, I probably would've done that."

"What's the crash trap?"

"It's when mom knocks over a bunch of stuff, and I come up here to make sure she's okay and then she traps me."

"You'd think you'd stop falling for that."

"Hey, I hear someone in trouble, I help. I always realize it too late."

"It's true, he does. He always forgets about it till after he's trapped."

As they all continued sifting through the attic to clean and sort through some stuff, Sarada found a box with Naruto's face on it.

"Is this Lord Seventh's?" Sarada asked.

"Oh, yes. That's everything from his old apartment."

"That's all dad had?"

"Well, your father was treated unfairly by the villagers because of Kurama."

"Kurama?"

"That's what dad calls the fox."

"Well, that is the fox's name. Anyway, your father, being an orphan, didn't have a whole lot of things. He managed the bare essentials, but not much else."

"So goggles are bare essentials?" Boruto asked as he pulled out a pair of faded green goggles.

Hinata gasped as she took them.

"Oh my goodness. I haven't seen these in years. You know, before Iruka-sensei gave Naruto his headband, your father wore these all the time. He stopped wearing them after becoming a genin. They were a defining feature of his. Well, that and his cute whiskers. I loved stroking those and even licking them when he made lo-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa mom! TMI!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Boruto. I just got caught up in my reminiscence."

"So dad stopped wearing these?" Boruto asked. He took a moment to look at the mirror in the attic and put the goggles on.

"Oh, you look just like your father. I have to get a picture!"

"Whoa, mom!"

"Don't worry. It's just for the family."

"Okay, fine." So Boruto let his mom take a picture. However, he heard two clicks. "Mom, did you double-click again?"

"No, I don't think so."

Boruto turned to the only other person in the room, who had her phone out.

"Sorry, couldn't resist. Don't worry. I'll only show my mom." 'And Chocho.'

"Sarada give me that phone right now!"

"Make me, Gog-ruto."

"That's it!"

Sarada ran toward the door as Boruto chased after her, leaving Hinata alone.

"Ah, young love. I should send this to Naruto."

"Sarada get back here and give me that phone!"

"No way!"

It wasn't just because of the picture she just took of him. She had quite a few pictures of him, including some that required some creativity to take. No way was he gonna let him see those pictures.

Once downstairs, Boruto grunted as he searched for Sarada. He passed by Himawari's room.

"Himawari, have you seen Sarada?"

"Yeah, yesterday I saw her at the store and-"

"Today. Have you seen her in the last couple minutes?"

"Oh. No, I haven't." Himawari smiled as Boruto continued to walk.

"Okay." Boruto started walking until stepping back. "Wait a second. Why does that stuffed bear have Sarada's phone and glasses?" Suddenly the stuffed bear in question threw a mini paper bomb at him. Not enough to do damage but enough to stun him as it turned into Sarada and ran out. "GET BACK HERE!"

Sarada and Boruto bolted out of the house as Himawari came out.

"What were those things on big brother's head?"

-20 seconds later a mile away-

"I wish I was skinnier," Chocho said walking with Inojin and Shikadai and eating chips. "How am I supposed to find my prince charming with this?"

"Well, maybe your prince will prefer rounded women," Inojin said.

"Dude, you have got to cool it with the brutal honesty," Shikadai said. "Learn some tact. Besides, Chocho, my dad said that to keep your dad from being self-conscious about his weight, their sensei would call him 'pleasantly plump'."

"Maybe but- Oh, there's Sarada. Hey Sarada, do you think I'm-?"

"Can't talk! Running!" Sarada said as she jumped over Chocho.

"And people call me rude. Why is she running?"

"SARADA UCHIHA GIVE ME THAT PHONE!" Inojin was bowled over as Boruto bolted(hehe) toward Sarada.

"That answer your question?" Chocho said.

"Did anyone else see something on Boruto's head, or was it just me?" Shikadai asked.

"How is this father?" Metal Lee asked about to attempt the dancing leaf shadow when he was bowled over.

"Son! Are you alright?"

"Fine, but I think I saw Boruto wearing goggles."

"Okay, I'm taking you to the hospital."

-15 seconds later-

"Being a teacher is a lot harder than I thought, but Kurenai-sensei believes in me, so I must do the same," Shino said. He saw a huge dust cloud and saw two of his students running. They zoomed right by, confusing him. "What was that about?"

-10 minutes later-

"I think I lost him," Sarada said, sitting on top of Naruto's stone head. Then she patted her side but didn't feel her phone. "Oh no, where is it?"

"Give me that phone now so I can erase that picture!" Boruto shouted from behind her.

"I don't have it! I must've dropped it. Also, you do realize you chased me here wearing those goggles?"

Boruto touched his head, and paled as he realized she was right before pocketing the goggles.

"What? They were dad's. Now let's find your phone."

"What not gonna stick your hand in my pockets?"

"Nah, you wouldn't lie about that. Also, if I did, I'd have a one-way express ticket to Shikadai's uncle's."

"You got that right."

-Meanwhile in the office-

Naruto sighed as he signed another form for some reason. He was glad to have Shikamaru around to help him. Naruto heard his phone beep.

"It's a picture from Hinata," Naruto said.

"What, is she sending you pictures in her lingerie now?" Shikamaru asked as Naruto checked, going wide eyed before smiling.

"I had forgotten all about those."

"About what?" Naruto showed Shikamaru the picture, making him chuckle. "Wow. I haven't seen those in so long either. Looks like you did, but less whiskers and smarter."

"Really? You had to go there?"

"Hey, you were the one who goofed off."

"Fair enough."

-five hours later at the Uchiha home-

"Ugh, I can't believe I lost my phone," Sarada said as she reached for the handle. "Mom is going to kill me." She walked inside, and saw her mother in the kitchen. "Hi mom. Sorry I'm late."

"Well, you know you should've called me. Then again, I guess that would've been tough without... this!"

"My phone!" Sarada rushed over and grabbed it. "Oh, thank you mom! Where did you find it?"

"I didn't find it."

"Then who did?"

"That would be me," a male voice said, causing Sarada to turn around and see her father. "I was walking here when I spotted it on the ground. It had our clan's symbol on it, so I assumed it was yours."

"Thanks, dad."

"No problem. I was surprised by that picture."

"What picture?" Sakura asked. Sarada pulled it up on her phone and showed it to Sakura. "Wow. Naruto's old goggles? I can't believe he still had them."

"Guess he couldn't get rid of them," Sasuke said.

-meanwhile back at the Uzumaki house-

"Man, that was exhausting. Can't believe-hmm?" He got a text on his phone. "Oh, cool Sarada found her phone. That's a relief." Boruto opened the door, and got tackled by his sister. "Hey, Himawari, you look excited."

"Yeah, because Daddy's here."

"What?" Boruto entered the dining room, seeing Naruto sitting at the dinner table. "How do I know you're not just a shadow clone?"

"Boruto, how rude!"

"It's fine, Hinata. It's only natural. No, Boruto, I assure you I'm not a shadow clone. I was able to finish work early, and come home for dinner."

"Really?"

"Hey, if you don't believe me, feel free to hit me anywhere."

"Nah." Boruto sat down, and they all started eating. Five minutes of silence and Boruto noticed his father staring at him. "What?"

"Could you put them on? I wanna see for myself." Himawari was confused, but Boruto understood what his father wanted. So he reached into his pocket, and pulled out Naruto's goggles before putting them on himself. "Hmm. I think I made them work better."

"Say what? How can anyone make these goggles look good? Goggles are so lame."

"Hey, they were in style back then. Besides, you try finding a cool look when you're kicked out of every store."

Hinata and Himawari laughed at the father and son banter, bringing some livelyness to the table. When the goggles would be worn again no one knows.

-meanwhile in the afterlife-

"Rin, you don't think goggles are lame do you?" Obito asked.

"Of course not. You made them work."

"Thanks."

so how'd y'all like that cute little story? I had the idea for a while. just a little fun idea to make Boruto a little closer to Naruto.
