Hinata groggily awoke. She felt arms tightly around her waist. Usually she'd be scared since Naruto rarely ever came home, but after the news yesterday of him giving up his position she knew it was him. She pried herself out of his clutches and sat up. He looked like he was sleeping peacefully for the first time in months. Drool was coming out of his mouth, and he groaned when Hinata moved out of his arms. He murmured something in his sleep and rolled over.

Hinata laughed quietly. She would cherish every last moment. They would need to go on a long vacation now. Maybe not long, considering Sakura still wanted to work on a cure, but far enough away from the village.

Hinata walked downstairs slowly careful not to awake any of her sleeping kids. She quietly opened the fridge before seeing the plate that she assumed was hers from last night. Seeing as her husband can't cook anything but ramen, she assumed Himawari helped him with it.

"Now would you look at that.. I shouldnt have fallen asleep so early.." Hinata wagged her head before taking the plate and examining the contents. She smiled when she saw the cinnamon rolls.

"Naruto.."" Hinata took the plate and wrapped it. She got out ingredients for breakfast and started cooking. She heard someone creak down the stairs.

"Mom?" Boruto rubbed at his eyes. "Morning.."

Hinata smiled at her son. Waving for him to sit down. "Breakfast is almost done. Have a seat." Boruto nodded and sat down in his usual spot. There was a moment of silence.

"Mom?" Boruto examined his hands. "Why did you fall asleep so early yesterday?"

Hinata stopped. "I guess I was just tired." Boruto shook his head. "It's more than that. I went into your room, to check on you after dad said you were sleeping and you had tears on your face. Some things going on and just want to know what it is. Why can't anyone tell me. Sarada said her mother is all distraught too. It's not because of Uncle Sasuke being gone because he'd been gone for a really long time before. Tell me!"

Hinata sighed. "It would be best for you father to tell you.. not me." Boruto clenched his fists. It wasn't fair. Why couldn't she tell him. His dad was the last person he wanted to talk to right now. Hinata stepped towards her son and kissed him on the head.

"You"ll know soon enough.. it is a secret for a reason." Hinata sighed and finished making breakfast. She heard more steps, and Himawari came into view.

"Morning Mommy!" Himawari gave an excited greeting and hugged her mom around the legs. Hinata patted her head and smiled.

"Daddy, said I would be a good wife like you someday. Did you eat the dinner me and daddy made?" Himawari glanced up at her mom expectantly. Hinata had intended for the dinner to be eaten later, since it's wasn't a breakfast dish.

"No Hima.. I will eat it tonight though. Your Dad isn't awake yet, will you go wake him up?" Hinata waved towards their bedroom and Himawari took off excitedly. A brief flashback of when he was inaugurated as Hokage flashed through her mind. She giggled softly.

She laid out each of the plates when Hima and Naruto walked town the steps. Hima took her place and Naruto took his.

"Morning Hinata.. Morning Boruto, Hima." Naruto yawned and Boruto ignored him. Naruto frowned but let it go. Himawari filled the air with her happy chattering, despite it still being quite early, she was wide awake. Naruto was still half asleep, nodding once in a while to whatever Hima was saying. Boruto stole quick glances at his dad and mom.

"Here it is." Hinata smiled at her family. They all thanked her for the food and started eating. She grabbed her own plate and sat down to eat. After the quiet breakfast, Boruto left to get ready for training with his team and Hima went on to do who knows what.

"Hinata.." Naruto quietly began. "I'm sorry.. it was my fault, Sakura told me that you called her, and I don't want you to be mad at her.. you guys are friends." Hinata nodded and picked up the dirty dishes. She silently stood at the sink washing then before being joined by her husband.

"Naruto." Hinata looked up at her husband. "Lets go on vacation." Naruto thought about it for a while, after analyzing all the different scenarios he nodded. Kakashi was a strong guy, he could take care of the village not to mention the fact that he was now the current Hokage till Konahamaru was inaugurated. He wanted to spend more time with his family after all. Boruto would probably be mad that he was going to miss out on training, but it would be a good time to tell them.

"Okay.. I want to schedule it. But ill let you pick it." Hinata said as she gently laid the last dish in the dish drainer and wiped the water off of her hands with a towel. She took Naruto's hand in hers and smiled up at him. "No matter what happens. Ill always love you.. don't ever forget that." Naruto smiled as tears pricked at his eyelids. He nodded and replied. "I know.. and also, I will love you forever ya know."

Boruto jumped from rooftop to rooftop, thinking. Sarada silently kept by his side, glancing at him from time to time. Training had been quite uneventful, the blonde had been unusually quiet and thoughtful. Multiple times Konahamaru had been talking to him but he had just been staring into space. You had to literally shake him to get him to notice that someone is talking to him.

"Boruto.." Sarada tapped him on the shoulder. His head whipped around in shock and he slipped and fell.

"Oops.." Sarada sighed at the disgruntled boy laying on the ground. He had taken quite a fall, but she wasn't worried about him. He was after all, a ninja. She jumped down and sat besides him on the ground.

"Why did you scare me Sarada? You know, it's not good to scare people like that especially when their in motion!" Boruto rubbed his aching buns. Sarada glanced at him. He seemed to be back to normal, but she still wondered. He still had that distant look in his eye, and she wanted to figure out why.

"You've been acting strange lately... why?" Sarada gently asked. Boruto looked at her surprised. "I'm not acting strange? Why would you think that?"

"It doesn't take a genius to know, you have something on your mind idiot." Sarada folded her arms and glared teasingly at her teammate. Boruto grinned feebly.

"Have I been that obvious?"

Sarada nodded primly, her eyes closed. Boruto chuckled.

"Then I guess, I should tell you."

Sarada scowled. "More like will tell me."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you over a burger, sound good?" Sarada nodded and followed Boruto to the shop.

"Okay, now spill." Sarada contentedly munched on the burger she had ordered. Boruto stared starry eyed at the delicacy he called a Burger.

"Okay... just let me eat first." Boruto shoved the burger in his mouth and took a bite. He sighed happily as he swallowed and took another bite.

"Okay... You've eaten enough, now spill. NOW.

Boruto nodded and sat down his burger. "I don't like being this cooperative, but since you agreed to pay, I will."

Sarada nodded.

"Okay.. you know how your dad's been gone really long?" Boruto asked.

Sarada nodded again, confused about how her dad connected with his strange attitude.

"Well... I think my dad resigning, his weird behaviour and your dad's absence are connected." Sarada thought.

How, why did he think that.. it didn't make any sense. Sure, the Hokage sends people on missions, and Lord Seventh was in office at the time that he was sent on that mission, but it doesn't mean it's connected. Not like she thought he was implying anyway.

"Why?" Sarada looked Boruto square in the eye. Her gaze unfaltering, clashing with bright blue orbs.

"Well... it's just a hunch actually..." Sarada sweatdropped. He'd been preoccupied with a hunch, a theory that wasn't even proven yet. What a dunce.

"Okay, explain this 'hunch' of yours." Sarada folded her hands under her chin. She stared at the sweating blonde in front of her.

"Why does it feel like your interrogating me?" Boruto gulped.

"Because I am. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Duh, yes! Wouldn't anyone? Especially if that interrogator was one of your friends!"

Sarada finished her burger quietly, mulling his previous words over. She heard her mom say that the world was saved because someone had a hunch that something was going to happen and took action to prevent it. This could be very plausible too. But there was no reason to over think it.

"Okay.. you need to quit over thinking things. So what if they are connected, what's that gonna hurt?" Sarada sipped her soda. Boruto sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't know.. it's just a strange feeling.. your probably right though.. I should quit over thinking it."

Sarada nodded. "Of course I'm right."

Boruto chuckled. "Always so cocky aren't you? It's not really fitting for a girl to be that confident all the time-"

The blonde was interrupted by a harsh blow to his head. The said blonde was writhing on the ground.

"Serves you right. You need to learn when not to say things. A girl doesn't like that kind of talk about her." Sarada flexed her wrist and glared at the whining Boruto.

"Now. Let's go find Mitsuki, maybe he'd like to train some more." Sarada walked towards the door of the shop waiting at the entrance for Boruto to join her.

Man.. ill never understand how the simplest things can turn a girl from calm to angry in 1 second.. Sarada is a good example...
