Hey guys! I know right! Two new chapters at once, that's crazy! I was in the mood for writing when I read all your suggestions, and I'm definitely gonna use them all at some point. So if you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to tell me, and otherwise, enjoy!
"Weeeeeee!" The little boy yelled, swinging back and forth on the swingset at the leaf village playground. Sarada was sitting on the bench, trying to catch her breath. "How can ONE boy have that much energy!?" She said to herself, as she thought about everything they had already done.
-Run three times around the village
-Visit every burger restaurant in the village
-Climb the Hokage mountain
-Train in the forest
-Play hide and seek with the ANBU
-Take a 5-minute nap
-Run three more laps around the village
-Speak to every single kid on the playground
-Try on Sarada's headband, and running away, so she had to hunt him down to get it back.
- Avoid every single person they knew
- Play tag
-Ride the thunder train. (On the roof of course).
- Paint all trees in the forest orange, before getting caught by Sarada and having to clean it all up again.
And it had only been 2 hours since they left the hospital! He was like an unlimited supply of free energy. "If this keeps up, I'm going to tire out before our parents figure out anything." Sarada thought to herself. "Hey, Boruto? Do you wanna go somewhere cool?" She asked referring to the hot springs.
"Boruto?" She asked as she didn't get a response. He was usually so chipper… She looked over at the playground, and Boruto was nowhere to be seen. "Not again!" Sarada yelled, thinking this was another one of his games.
He was hiding in the bushes nearby, about to giggle loudly, as Sarada searched and couldn't find him. "Geez! She's so dumb! She can't even find me.." He thought to himself, as he kept looking at her.
Little did he know someone was creeping up on him from the behind. "Boruto Uzumaki?" A deep, dark voice suddenly asked. "Huh?" The tiny blonde asked as he turned around.
A tall shinobi walked up to him. He was wearing the hidden mist headband, and he looked bloodthirsty.
"Who are you mister?" He asked confused. "That doesn't matter brat!" He yelled as three more men with the same headbands. The blonde already knew what they were trying to do.
Because he was the Hokage's son, many people had before been after him. "After him!" What looked to be the leader yelled.
They all jumped at him, but Boruto lept up into the air before they could catch him. From the looks of it, these guys are genin, maybe chunin... Boruto thought as he started running towards the forest.
"After him!" They all yelled as they followed him.
Boruto had always hated it when people were after him, especially when it was either chunin or Jonin ranked because then it was something out of his league. But now that there was no overprotecting daddy or babysitter on his tail he could enjoy himself and have a little fun...
Boruto could hear them coming behind him. "Shadow clone jutsu!" He yelled as óne shadow clone appeared, and ran the other direction. "What the-" They seemed to have been confused by his distraction…
Even though it was the only jutsu he knew, and he didn't attend the academy yet, he still wouldn't give up that easily!
"You two!" "Follow the one to the right, and we're following the one who ran to the right!" One of the shinobi asked.
Yes! I got them to follow me into the backwoods... This place is packed with traps, but of course, since I hang out here so much, I know where every single one of them is!" He grinned
Sarada was running quicker and quicker. She was really starting to get a bit nervous. This game of hide and seek had lasted way longer than any of the other times Boruto had run away. "Boruto where are you!? This isn't fun anymore! You won this round okay!?" She yelled.
Still no response.
"Damn it! Where did he run off to!?" She thought.
"I checked all his usual hiding places… I hope nothing happened to him." She thought. She stood on top of Naruto's huge stone face, to get a good overview of the village. "Lord Hokage is gonna be so mad when he finds out… And what about papa and mama!? I'm screwed…" Sarada thought as she started panicking a little.
"Ok, Boruto… You give me no choice! Sharingan!" She said as if she knew he was listening. She started another lap around the village, using her Sharingan to search in every crevice and corner of Konoha.
But she felt all hope was lost when she finished her lap and still hadn't found the boy. She sighed as she sat down on a bench to catch her breath. "Her Sarada!" Someone yelled. Sarada looked up and saw her friends Wasabi, Namida, and Sumire. "Oh… Hey Namida, Wasabi and class rep." She said out of breath.
"What are you doing? And why are you out of breath?" Wasabi asked as they all sat down beside her. "I'm babysitting Boruto, and he ran of. I can't find him anywhere, even my Sharingan couldn't find him!" Sarada said.
"You're babysitting Boruto?" Sumire asked, sounding a bit confused. Sarada realized how weird she had just sounded. "It's a long story. You didn't happen to have seen him do you?" She asked.
Sumire and Wasabi shook their heads. "Well, I'm not sure…" Namida said. "Anything would help," Sarada said, really not wanting to get yelled at by the Hokage again. "I'm not sure if it was him, but I saw a tiny blonde boy running into the backwoods not too long ago." She said.
"The backwoods?" Sarada asked. "Of course! It's the only place I haven't checked!" Sarada said, finally sounding a bit happier. "Really? I heard my dad talking about some kind of spies that were caught out there yesterday.." Wasabi said.
"Yeah, I heard about that too. Someone was out after revenge on the Hokage, but most of them were caught." Sumire said.
Sarada's heart stopped for a little bit. "I need to go." She said running full speed. "Wait Sarada!" Sumire said trying to stop her, but she was already gone.
"I hope I'm not too late! When Boruto's this young, he's basically defenseless!" Sarada thought speeding up even more.
A couple minutes and she was there. "Boruto?!"Boruto!?" She yelled. Silence. Suddenly she heard footsteps. "Oi!" Boruto said smiling.
"Boruto!" "Thank goodness you're okay!" Sarada said, running over to hug the little boy. "Of course I'm okay! What do you take me for!?" He asked as all the air was squeezed out of him. "I'm sorry.. I was just so worried." Sarada said. "No, you weren't! you were just afraid our dads would get mad!" He yelled.
Sarada was silent. "How did you know that?" She asked. "I know you better then you think, you know!" Boruto yelled, blushing a little. "Geez, you're helpless. But what happened?" She asked.
The tiny blonde smiled."Those guys started chasing me, so I ran back here, and lured them into all the traps!" He said proudly. "And where are they now?" Sarada asked. "Up there!" he said pointing upwards, at a giant piece of cloth.
Sarada stared amazed at the tiny boy. Even though he was THIS young, he had managed to capture 4 genin enemy ninja. She looked proudly at him."Nice job" She said smiling. The boy smiled back.
Suddenly more footsteps were heard. Sarada was quick to react, so she activated her Sharingan, and a couple seconds later she grabbed the boy, as a paper bomb flew by and hit the spot they had just been standing in. As they landed, she put him down on the ground, and stood ready for what was to come.
Boruto looked a little scared, as he hid behind Sarada, and took her hand.
Another guy came lurking out of the shadows. "So I see... The Uchiha girl is quick on her feet." He said. Sarada didn't let her guard down. This guy was definitely a Jonin- if not higher. "I see the jutsu formula worked remarkably," He said as his eyes caught sight of Boruto.
Before Sarada could blink, the guy had snuck up behind them and was about to cut Boruto's throat with a kunai. "No..!" Sarada said, as she quickly jumped in front of Boruto, resulting in her arm getting cut instead. "Damn…" She said as she bit her lip, biding in the pain.
"I see you're quick on your feet. You're nothing like your father though.." He said, moving back a little. "Sarada!" Boruto said as he stared worried at his hurt friend. "Don't worry about me Boruto…" She said, clearly in pain.
"Hmmm… I see you're very protective… I'm glad... the new ninjas of this village are very fine" He said. Sarada used her Sharingan to try and find his weakness. She started sweating as it got clearer that she wouldn't find any.
"Just who are you?" Sarada asked the man."Oh me? I'm just some old geezer from another village. You must forgive me. My men tried to kidnap you earlier. We will leave at once." He said as he suddenly vanished.
Sarada sighed relieved. "We were lucky Boruto. He retrieved." She said. But Borup didn't look thrilled at all. "Hm? Boruto when did you get so tall?" Sarada asked, realizing the boy was actually the height as her again.
"I didn't grow at all… It's you who turned small!" He yelled. "Crap It happened to me to…" Sarada said, realizing she was suddenly a six-year-old kid again.
