Hello everyone to the next chapter. There's some serious conflict happening in this chapter. I am curious to see your opinion about what's happening with Sumire and Boruto. From now on, the chapters are going to be a little bit shorter for the next month since I have a ton to do outside of writing fanfiction. I hope you still enjoy my story.

Chapter 3: Heartbreak

O

Senju-Park:

"I...accept", said Sumire.

It was the only way to protect her friends. Those friends who changed her to the better and those friends who saved her life. She knew that there will be a situation where she needs to sacrifice something for the sake of her friends and now the time came to do it.

'It was a beautiful time with them. I hope they won't forget me'

"Good decision", Nero said to her. "I hope you are ready. We still need to leave the village this night".

"You have one hour time to prepare for the travel. Nero will monitor you so you can't run away or ask anybody for help. You are obviously not allowed to say goodbye to your friends", Ramos told her.

'That I am not allowed to say goodbye to my friends was obvious enough, but I hope I am able to write and leave a letter before I have to go and that nobody of them will notice'

"Now let's go", Nero said to her before he and Sumire left the Senju-Park.

O

Uzumaki Estate:

"I am back", shouted Boruto as he entered the building.

"Boruto, do you know when Sumire is coming", Hinata asked her son.

"Isn't she already here?", Boruto asked back, questioning when she'll finally arrive.

"No. She wanted to come a bit earlier to help me with the dinner".

"That's weird".

"So where did you go?", Hinata asked:

"W-Well I bought something I need for later".

"And what did you buy?

"It's not important. I'll show you later. First I am going to call Sumire where the heck she is", Boruto answered.

Boruto ran to the living room picking up the phone. He entered Sumire's phone number and waited her to pick up the call.

'Sumire, pick up...please'

O

Sumire's apartment:

Sumire as currently packing for the travel, but then suddenly the phone rang.

She looked at the displayed phone number and was shocked to see Boruto's number on it.

'I-It's Boruto-kuns number! He's probably worried about me because I am still not by him'

"Don't pick up the phone. I warn you", Nero said to her with an angry voice. "We're going to leave soon, so pack faster or you're going to leave without anything with us".

"I understand", Sumire said to him.

'He's still observing me like an criminal. I just hope I'll have chance to quickly write something on a piece of paper. I don't want to leave them without saying something to them'

O

Uzumaki household:

After waiting some seconds, he heard Sumire's voice, but immidiately after he started talking, he noticed that it was just the recording when she was not home.

'Sumire...where are you'

Boruto became worried about her, starting to think about what happened to her.

"Maybe she's already on her way to us?", Hinata told Boruto. "You shouldn't worry that much about her. I bet she'll be here in a couple of minutes.

"Yeah, you're probably right mom".

O

Somewhere in Konoha:

"Hey Ramos, how long until we can leave this stupid village", Azura asked him.

"Soon enough. Probably only thirty more minutes before I can use my eye again", Ramos answered her

"What's so special about your eye anyway? Why do you need a recover phase after every dimension traveling jutsu?", she asked.

"The problem I have with it is that I only have one of those eyes. I need another one to use my jutsu multiple times in a row".

"But you could steal someone's eye then", Azura said.

"That's not possible. There is only one more person I know who have those eyes and he's definitely to strong for me"

"Who is that person", Azura asked.

"It's Sasuke Uchiha".

"You mean that Sasuke Uchiha who killed master Danzo?", said a shocked Azura

"Yes and he's the only survivor of the Uchiha tragedy. Many non-Uchiha shinobi got their Sharingan after defeating one of them in battle. Me and one of my earlier partners defeated an Uchiha and we splitted up the Sharingan. He got one and I got one. Too bad he got killed a long time ago"

"Well it's your problem".

O

Sumire's apartment

"Hurry up. We have to leave in a couple of minutes", Nero said to Sumire.

'What now? I don't have that much time left'

She looked over to her wardrobe and got an idea.

'I have to try it'.

"Hey, can I at least take a quick shower before we go?", she asked him as she quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen on her desk and hiding them under her clothes.

"Why that? What's your problem?", said a suprised Nero

"I trained a lot today and I sweated a lot. Is it a problem for you?", Sumire said in a shy tone.

"N-No go ahead", Nero said.

"Thank you sir. Please don't be a pervert and interupt me", she quickly walked to her bathroom.

She closed the door and turned on the water.

'That's my chance! I have to do to it as fast as possible so I have time to get under the water for a minute so he won't suspect anything'

She took out the paper and the pen and started writing about her leaving the village. She made it look like she was transfering to another village. She knew that he would found out that to be a lie but there was no other way to say goodbye to him and her friends. It was difficult enough to cover the real intention behind it.

A couple of minutes later, she finished:

"

...

I enjoyed the last few days with you and our friends, but for now, I have to say goodbye.

I hope we'll see each other in the future.

Your Sumire.

"

She teared up a bit after finishing the letter, knowing that these are the last words to him. Her tears falled down onto the letter. With that she quickly undressed herself and went into the shower.

O

Uzumaki household

Boruto was on the sofa watching some late evening cartoons. He looked at the watch every two minutes and after each look his worry only got bigger. After a half hour, he stood up and quickly took his jacket

"Mom, I am going to run over to Sumire and look after her", Boruto shouted.

"Ok but hurry up. Dinner is ready soon", Hinata said to him.

He ran out of his home towards his destination.

'I hope everything is ok with her. I am scared'

He ran down the street, not knowing that someone observed him.

'Where is Boruto running', a boy with white hair thought.

O

Sumire's apartment:

Sumire took a shower for a minute before she came out. She quickly grabbed her new clothes she used for combat missions.

"Are you finished", Nero said from outside.

"Y-Yeah", she quickly dressed herself, hiding the letter under her clothes. She thought about where to leave the letter behind so someone would find it.

'I have to hide the letter, but I don't know where!', Sumire started panicking.

She opened the door and leaved the bathroom.

"We can go now", she said.

"We have to. Grab your things and let's get out of here", Nero said to her.

Before she was to leave, she walked once again to her wardrobe and quickly pulled out her white cloak and her mask.

'I think I am going to need these', Sumire thought, as she stored them into her bag, which was already slightly overfilled.

"Get over here and give me your bag. You're going to walk to the park we met you earlier without wearing those. Don't worry I'll make sure nobody will see you".

"What do you mean with that", Sumire asked him.

"Well I have a special stealth tool you can use", Nero said to her as he grabbed something out of his pocket:

It looked like some coat, but was made out of a strange material she can't identify.

"This is our special stealth coat. Wear it around your head and you'll get invisible. But it's extremly expensive, so don't break it".

Sumire grabbed the special coat. It felt like it's made out of cotton candy and it was pretty cold in generell.

"Hurry up when we're walking to the Senju-Park. Your Chakra is still trackable with those eye doujutsu's and there are quite some people with a Byakugan or even Sharingan here in this village. Also I also can track down the coat, so don't even consider betraying me".

"O-Ok", Sumire said in a serious tone.

They now walked out of her apartment. As they were near the entrance, Sumire got an idea for her little problem with the letter.

'That's it! I am happy I wrote Boruto's full name on the letter'.

"I am already going to use this coat, ok?", Sumire asked him

"Do it and let's go", Nero said to her.

She put on the coat around her neck and immidiately after he couldn't see her anymore, she grabbed the letter out under the clothes and put it into the outgoing mailbox.

'That guy from the mail office I attacked back then knows Boruto. I am sure he won't mess up and deliver the letter to him, even without a stamp'

With that she left the building with Nero.

"We only have five minutes"

O

Somewhere in Konoha:

Boruto quickly ran down the streets with a worried face.

'I have a bad feeling about the whole thing', Boruto thought. 'She even didn't called me once with the phone'

He turned left around a corner, bumping against an older man with both of them falling to the ground.

"Damn it brat. Watch out next time".

"I am sorry", Boruto quickly stood up and continued running towards his destination.

"Heyy you shitty brat", the older woman followed him with an angry face, but then he was stopped by an snake kind of arm, wrapping itself around his body.

"You stay here weirdo", the boy with white hair said to him.

"Who is a weirdo you brat", he looked at his stretchable arms with an angry face.

"You", the boy glared to him with eyes as dangerous looking as they're snake eyes.

"Oh no nothing", the man said scared.

The boy looked to Boruto running away from him. Boruto didn't noticed him.

Boruto vanished out of his sight and he decided to observe him.

'I think Boruto is in trouble'

O

Boruto ran and ran and decided to use a short cut over the roofs. He jumped from one to another one like some acrobat. But something in front of him was strange.

'I had the same feeling back when Nue came out.'

He continued jumping over the roofs and almost reached Sumire's apartment before his sight got blurry,

'W-What? My eye. Is it activating?', Boruto was shocked after he firstly activated his doujutsu after multiple years.

He looked around and he saw something moving away from him from the distance.

'That's a huge Chakra reservoir! I only know one person with such a strong Chakra and that's her. But she's moving away from my house. What's she doing?'

Boruto started to follow that strong Chakra, hoping to see Sumire being alright when he catches up.

O

Senju-Park:

Nero and Sumire reached the Senju-Park in time and they met with the other two waiting for them. Sumire wore out the stealth coat and give it back to Nero. They all gathered behind the trees of the park.

"Took long enough", Azura said. "I hope you've watched over her Nero".

"Yes, she cooperated with me", he said to her.

"It'll only take five more minutes until we're able to leave. Prepare everything", Ramos told them, already being on position.

Sumire looked up at the moon and around the Senju-Park, mentally saying goodbye to her home town.

'I thought I would stay here forever with my friends and live a life like them, but it seems like this is indeed my fate. At least I can protect my friends and help them to still enjoy their life. They really liked me at the end, that's the thing I am truly happy about. My last wish would be them not finding out what really happened to me. I am probably going to be classified as a rogue ninja but that's ok. It's not even a lie'

Azura picked up the phone and called their boss, who waits for their report. After some seconds, he picked up.

"I hope you're finished with your mission", a man with a low pitched voice told them over the phone.

"Yes, we have that girl with the beast inside. We're now going to return to the headquarter", Azura said to the boss.

"Well done. I am awaiting you tomorrow evening there. If there'll be more problems, you are authorized to call Killer X to your plan".

With that, the phone call ended.

"Who is that Killer X the boss mentioned?", Azura asked Ramos. Nero suprised for her to not know him.

"He's the strongest special agent of the organization. You can send hundreds of shinobi against him and he would still win the fight. He's stronger than me, even without any doujutsu. But the boss only sends him to special class missions".

"That means that the beast is really important to him", Azura said.

"That's right and that's why we have to end our mission on a perfect note", Nero told them.

Sumire currently was lost in her thoughts.

'Oh Boruto-kun. I was really anticipating the evening today and I am so sad to dissappoint you once more after what I did in the past. I hope there'll be more persons you're going to have a good time with. I know already how you're going to react when you notice that I am away, but please forget me for your own sake'

She noticed how she's only thinking about Boruto and she had to admit her admiration towards him.

'Well Boruto-kun is the only person I can currently think off. It seems feeling is how a crush feels to someone'

O

"I am almost ready. I can use my dimension traveling jutsu in under 60 seconds. Soon we can escape out of the village without anybody noticing it", Ramos told them.

"You heard little girl? Get ready", Nero said to her.

'Well goodbye Leaf Village...and especially you Boruto. I'll miss you and our friends', she thought.

Just as Ramos wanted to activate the jutsu, someone screamed from the distance.

"SUUUUUMIIIIIREEEEEE", shouted someone, coming near them

They all were shocked, not having expected of someone finding them.

'Boruto! Oh nooo!'

Sumire was shocked to hear him scream her name. She was scared confronting him about her current situation. Her legs shaking because of that.

"That sounds like one of those brats we observed earlier on", Azura said.

"That's going to be problematic. I also need some time to open the portal"

"I can quickly elimate him", Nero suggested.

"N-No! Please not", Sumire said to him with a scared tone.

"She's going to help us", Ramos told the, looking at Sumire.

"W-What?", Sumire asked, shocked.

Ramos pulled something out of his pocket. This time it was some kind of pills in a black box.

"This is Y20, a super effective K.O pill we use to kidnap people with. We saw how skilled you are and you're the daughter of Tanuki Shigaraki. I bet he trained you in the past to revenge him right?"

"Y-Yes", Sumire answered.

"Let him swallow the pill and he's going to the dreamland for the next 24 hours. With that you can eliminate him without hurting him or even killing him at all".

Sumire's legs began to shake more. She's going to fight her friend.

'T-That's horrible! I don't want to hurt him or even him seeing me like that'.

"You have the choice. Either we're gonna hurt him unconscious or you're going to do this with the pill."

'I have to do it. But fighting against the person I admire the most is going to hurt my soul'

"Ok I am going to do it", Sumire said, taking the pill with her.

"You have only mere minutes", Ramos told her

O

"SUUUMIIIREEEE!", Boruto shouted. He looked into the deep forest part of the Senju-Park and he could saw the strong Chakra slowly approaching him.

"He walked more into the forest and he saw a gap in the forest where the Chakra stopped moving. He ran there and entered a small grass field with flowers, where Sumire waited for him. He could saw her back, both of them looking at the same direction.

"S-Sumire! I've searched you! Why you didn't called me earlier that you're late and why are you even here?", Boruto asked.

Sumire slowly turned around and he then saw her serious face. It felt like her heart was cold as ice, just as it was when she wanted to destroy the village.

"Boruto. What do you want from me?", she said in a serious tone without any expressions on her face.

"Why do you even ask? I came to you to look why it took so long. I was worried about you", Boruto shouted.

"You don't need to be worried, I don't care about your worry", Sumire just answered him.

"W-What are you saying? What happened to you?", Boruto asked her with a frightened tone.

"Nothing. I just noticed that I need to leave the village to truly find my real purpose in this world.

"What? Are you serious about that? You don't need to find a purpose to exist in this world. You're living a happy life here in Konoha with your best friends".

"And what's the reason to actually have friends in my life? Friends doesn't help me with my problem."

"Of course friends are going to help you with your problems. You already forgot what I told you earlier?", Boruto shouted

"They can't help me because I don't care about my friends", Sumire said with a cold tone.

"You can't be serious. Please say that to me. Why did you suddenly changed?", Boruto shouted to her

'Boruto-kun...'

...

"It's my own path I want to go through. My life felt so empty while living here in the village all the years. Now I want to find my reason to exist and for that, you just can't help me with that", Sumire shouted to him.

"And giving up your friends?", Boruto shouted back. "Don't your friends mean anything to you?", Boruto said, calming down.

"No they don't mean anything to me", Sumire said, leaving Boruto speechless.

"You don't mean anything to me Boruto", said Sumire, heartless.

Boruto's felt his heart broke in pieces. He never heard a more hurting sentence in his life. It was like he got hit by a bullet directly into his heart. It just hurted.

...

Boruto started to cry. He still looked at her cold face, speechless about what she said to him seconds ago.

'Boruto-kun, please don't cry'

She felt very bad inside after saying that to him.

After a minute, Boruto stopped crying and was ready to do something about the situation.

"I won't let you leave our village", Boruto said to her, ready to fight.

"You want a battle? I saw you progressing but I am still stronger than you Boruto", Sumire said to him.

"And what else should I do? Crying more and walking home letting one of my friends go? You know how I am to my friends".

"You're to much focused around your friends. You should care more about yourself", said Sumire with an angry face.

"Caring about my friends IS caring about myself. Because my friends ARE my life!", Boruto shouted to her, leaving Sumire speechless this time.

Sumire: "..."

"Sumire please let's go back. You're probably still confused about the situation. We are all your friends and we would never leave you ".

Boruto slowly approached her, offering her one of his hands.

"Calm down and let's go back. Everything is prepared for tonight. I bet you're hungry", Boruto said to her, grinning. "My mom did a ton of tasty food for us. Knowing you you're sure going to l-".

FLUUSH

...

"S-Sumire".

...

Sumire fired a water bullet towards him, barely missing him on the head, with the bullet cracking up a tree behind him.

Boruto stood there ,speechless and shocked to see her doing this to him. The shock lasted multiple seconds.

"W-Why", Boruto stuttered.

"I am going to hit you next time if you continue talking to me. You want a fight or? Then let's do it".

"I don't want to fight you! Stop!", Boruto shouted

"But I want to", Sumire picked up a kunai from her bag and aimed towards him.

"Sumire! Nooo!", Boruto also took out a kunai, ready to fight.

"Water Release! Water Arrow!", Sumire fired a long arrow made of water towards him.

Boruto quickly dodged the attack and sprinted towards her.

"Ok then let's fight!", Boruto shouted to her.

Boruto picked up some Shuriken out of his bag, ready to throw them. Sumire sprinted towards him with her kunai. Boruto throwed the Shuriken towards her, but she jumped and dodged them, diving directly to Boruto and hitting him directly on the stomach.

"I hit you", Sumire shouted.

"No you didn't", Boruto said behind her. Sumire looked at the piece of wood Boruto used for the body replacement.

Boruto now kicked Sumire. It seemed like a direct hit, but he got suprised to see water splashing out of her body.

"Do you really thought that does work on me?", Sumire appeared behind Boruto.

"I would be dissappointed if", Boruto quickly increased the distance between him and her.

"Kage-Bunshin", Boruto called some shadow clones to help him.

'I can't use the Rasengan on her. I don't want to hurt her with it'

"Let's go", the clones sprinted towards her,

"That won't work", Sumire said, sprinting towards the crowd.

She quickly eliminates one clone after another, while the real Boruto jumped up into the sky.

"Boruto, forget that!", Sumire looked up at the sky, which was the moment she wasn't attentive.

One of the leftover clones started grabbing her leg so she can't dodge Boruto's attack.

"Sumire it's over", Boruto dived down onto her, punching her on her face.

Boruto quickly grabbed her shoulders and pinned her onto the ground.

"Sumire, please stop now! I don't want to hurt you!"

"Boruto let me go!", Sumire shouted.

"I don't want to lose you!, Boruto shouted back, almost tearing up. "You're very important to my life!"

'B-Boruto', she thought. Despite the whole thing being an act to her, in that moment she felt happyness.

'I am sorry Boruto, but I don't want them to hurt you'

The pinned down Sumire turned into water once again.

'Another water clone?', Boruto thought.

Sumire behind him quickly grabbed his arms and keeped hold of them. Boruto wasn't able to move anymore.

"That's it", Sumire just said to him. She punched him hard from behind directly into this spine.

Boruto screamed from the pain, which was the chance for Sumire.

She quickly puttet the K.O pill into his mouth and forced him to swallow it.

Sumire now let Boruto go, already knowing that she won

"S-Sumire, what you've done to me. I feel weak", Boruto said with a weak voice.

"Boruto, I am sorry".

Sumire punched him one last time onto the stomach.

"S-Su-Sumire, w-why?"he said, before he felt unconscious.

Boruto fell onto the ground. Sumire teared up immidiately after the fight was over.

'Boruto, please forgive me that. I never wanted to do this to you'

The cold wind whistled in the air as she looked at him lying on the ground.

Sumire approached Boruto's body and started carrying him to the next bench.

She laid him onto it before turning around.

"Goodbye Boruto-kun"

With that, she walked away from him, returning to the organization.

...

...

"That was a stupid idea of him", a boy with white hair said to himself.

O

"I am back", Sumire told to the organization.

"Took longer than expected", Nero said.

"I hope you showed that brat some manners", Azura said to her.

"I don't want to talk about him anymore", Sumire said to them.

"Great idea because you won't see him anymore in your life", Azura told her with an evil face.

'You stupid woman! How much I want to punch you in the face', Sumire thought, now being angry to her.

"Azura stop now. Blackmailing a little girl was already enough for us to get what we want", Nero said.

"Oh you're feeling bad for her? Well you're getting weak", Azura blamed him.

"Be quiet you two. I am ready".

A big portal opened in front of them. The other side looking like another dimension.

"Here wear your stuff", Nero gave Sumire the cloak and the mask.

She quickly wears them on, ready to leave the village.

"Wait...", Ramos quickly turned around and throw a kunai to the next bush.

"What was that Ramos?", Azura asked him.

Ramos walked to the spot the kunai hit the ground and found a dead snake the kunai hit on the ground.

"A snake huh. What's the problem?", Nero said.

"Snakes in the Senju-Park. That's the problem", Ramos answered.

Sumire looked at the snake lying on the ground.

'I-It's a white snake! That means Mitsuki-kun is somewhere here'

"We have to go quickly. All enter the portal now.

Azua was the first entering the portal, followed by Nero.

'Goodbye everyone', Sumire thought, vanishing after also entering it.

"Portal: Close", Ramos quickly jumped in before the portal vanished completely.

...

...

'At least I know now the reason why she did that', Mitsuki thought as he walked to the spot where the portal was.

After inspecting the area for a bit, he moved towards the still unconscious Boruto lying on the bench.

'Things are getting complicated'.

He noticed the cracked heart shaped hairclasps lying on the ground in front of the bench and picked them up.

'She literally broke his heart'.


That's it for this chapter. The story got more darker today and I really had fun writing those Sumire and Boruto interactions. I already read the comments/reviews and I'll do my best to account the critic you stated there in the future. The next chapter will come in about two weeks from now on because I have to work a lot in the coming days.

As always I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and please leave a comment. Have a nice day!
