Boruto, exhausted from training dragged himself towards home. Sarada had been a real pain, and he was tired of Mitsuki saying "they were a good couple." Maybe... Sarada was pretty, and she was the daughter of the man he admired the most. He saw her differently than most girls, he didn't know how to explain it.

The front door was open when he got home, his parents were in the process of hauling big duffle bags to the entrance into the arms of five Naruto clones. He gaped as his dad stupidly threw a bag at a clone. He heard his dad yelling at the clones and them yelling back. He never understood that. But whatever.

"What is this?" Boruto asked his dad as he motioned to all the junk. "Why are you packing?"

Naruto beamed. "We're going on a family vacation to the land of waves! It'll be awesome! Just me, Hinata, Hima and you!" Naruto extravagantly failed his arms looking not much more dignified than Might Guy on one of his hot blooded moments.

"What the..." Boruto sighed. Why was Naruto his dad. He could've turned out so much better if he had been Sasuke's son instead. Well... can't change it.

"It'll be awesome big brother! We will meet dad's friend over there!" Hima excitedly joined her brother, hanging happily on his arm. If Hima was excited then, he was happy with it. He shrugged and went to find his mother, leaving Naruto to argue with his clones some more, throwing random objects at the one that made him the angriest. Hima watched confused.

"Oh.. Boruto. Did you have fun training?" Hinata warmly greeted her son. Hinata was in the process of packing Hima's clothes, but she had run off and Hinata needed to find her.

"When was it scheduled that we'd go on vacation? Why on such short notice?" Boruto grabbed an Apple from the basket on the table and bit into it. "I'm fine with it since Hima is happy about it."

"Well... I'm happy that your not mad. Naruto and I were worried you might be. It's cause Naruto hasn't had much time to spend with you guys since he became Hokage.. he wanted to rekindle his bond with you guys, and have fun." Hinata smiled at Boruto. "And that question you asked earlier... Naruto said he'd answer it there. I asked him." Hinata finished sadly.

Boruto nodded and went up to his room to pack. He wanted to tell Sarada about this new development. He could find out something important that could help him figure out what's going on. Or, his dad could tell him directly what's happening. With so many scenarios running through his mind, Boruto forgot what he was supposed stood be doing. Hinata knocked asking him if he'd packed yet, receiving a negative she told him to hurry up.

"Well be leaving soon Boruto, Himawari is very excited and our balloon leaves soon."

Boruto nodded, forgetting she couldn't see him and started moving. He packed, moving faster than he'd ever moved in his life. He would never admit it, but he was excited. The thought of going on vacation with his dad, who was always either at work or sleeping at home thrilled him. He flew down the stairs, grinning at his sister.

"Big brother!! We're leaving now! Are you happy daddy is coming with us?" Hima happily smiled her biggest smile. Her hand reached out to give him a small sunflower she had picked earlier. He nodded and walked to the door. Hinata was standing over Naruto, who was sitting on the ground.

"Come on Dad... this is no time to be sitting down. We have to leave." Boruto absentmindedly told his dad. Completely missing the fact that his dad was clutching his stomach, he strode right past him.

"Uh.. yeah. Be right there..." Naruto barely let out. Hinata gave him a pill that was supposed to help with the pain. He drank it down, swallowing it with ease. After all, it was only a small pill. He shook off the pain that was slowly subsiding, making a few clones, he helped his family to the station.

"Yes! I get a window seat!" Hima happily ran to the nearest seat by the window. Boruto took the seat next to her, leaving their parents to take the seats facing them. Naruto sat down with a groan. He wasn't completely rested up from his duties as Hokage, and all that walking made him tired. The sound of people chattering filled the large airship, he glanced around. Everyone seemed to be really happy. Hopefully, no one recognized him.

Naruto sighed as he happily stared at his family. Hima was waiting for the airship to rise and Boruto was staring out the window next to Hima. Hinata was the only one not preoccupied with the scenery, she held his hand and smiled at him.

"Let's make this a happy memory for all of us, Naruto." Her beautiful smile encouraged him. She had always been that way.

Naruto smiled at his wife. He leaned his head back against the soft cushions and fell asleep.

"Wake up!"

Naruto heard someone talk into his ear. He lifted his head and looked around in a daze. Hima was right besides his head, looking directly into his eyes, she noticed he was awake and smiled happily.

"We're here daddy!" She pointed out the window, the journey wasn't that long since the land of waves wasn't that far away, but it was a good excuse to be able to show Hima what it was like to ride a ballon. He gazed out the window. The small town brought back a lot of memories. Sure, it wasn't that small now, but it will always be the town where he first fought a real battle, and learned his ninja way.

"Yup Hima! We're finally here." Naruto grinned at his daughter. Hinata was already up, just as the ship landed. She grabbed the bags they had carried on board, and they all left the ship. The family grabbed their luggage from the entrance of the ship and left the station. Naruto had previously reserved two rooms at a Hotel. Stopping to put their stuff in their rooms, they were soon off to Tazuna's house.

Hima happily chirped away, shrieking happily when she saw something she liked. Boruto was indifferent, he was just happy to be somewhere other than Konaha. Hinata held Naruto's hand, nodding occasionally to whatever Naruto was saying. They were soon at Tazuna's door.

"He already knows were coming." Naruto told Hinata. Hinata nodded and held Hima's hand. Naruto knocked on the door and waited. People shuffling around and talking were the only sounds they heard. The door was soon answered, and a really ancient looking man answers the door.

"Naruto! Oh my. I wasn't expecting you this early!" The old man leaned in to give Naruto a hug. Naruto had to bend down to hug the man, seeing as Tazuna was way shorter than him.

"They aren't early grandpa. They are right on time!" A young man followed the ancient man out the door. Naruto greeted him with a hug also. He turned to his kids.

"Okay, this is Himawari, and this is Boruto. Boruto, Hima, this is Inari," pointing to the young man, "and this is Tazuna," pointing to the old man.

"Nice to meet you." Inari energetically shook Boruto's hand. He gently shook Hima's hand.

"Okay, instead of standing here, let's all go inside. Mom made some really good rice balls." Inari motioned inside the house. The moment they all stepped in, their noses were filled with the scent of something delicious.

"If you thought my mom's cooking was good back then, you should try it now." Inari proudly walked into the kitchen, the quartet following suite.

Naruto happily greeted the elderly looking woman. Tsunami had taken quite a liking to Himawari, and Hima was attached to her for the rest of the evening. Inari loved hearing about what Naruto had been up to since the last time they met, and Tazuna was quietly talking to Boruto.

Time seemed to fly by for the happy family. It was starting to get dark, so the family decided to head back. Naruto thanked Tazuna and Inari for their hospitality.

"No need! Your the reason we can have fun these days. Come see us tomorrow also." Tazuna happily waved Naruto away. Naruto just grinned. Boruto was confused, just what did he mean by that?

The small family headed back towards their hotel room. Hima and Hinata would share a room, and Naruto and Boruto would share a room. The boys walked into their room, and set the stuff they carried with them to the house down. Naruto took out his pajamas and went to the bathroom to change. When he came back, Boruto was casually flipping through the channels.

"They have good service.." Boruto uncomfortably started. He didn't know being in a room alone with his dad would be so tense. It wasn't tense for Naruto, he looked as comfortable as could be. So why was he the only one feeling this way? Maybe it had to do with the secret his dad had been keeping from him. A feeling of distrust had developed between him and his dad. It was one sided though. He considered asking him what Tazuna meant, but there was no reason to disturb the silence, so he decided he'd talk to him tomorrow.

He sighed as nothing eye catching was on at the moment, setting down the remote after turning off the tv, he rolled over to sleep.

He heard a quiet mumbling, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Good night... Boruto."

Boruto smiled.

"Yeah.. good night."
