A/N: hm... physics, oneshot, physics, oneshot... yeah. I think I'll go with one shot.
enjoy...
Raise every bottle and cup in the sky...
Sarada raised her glasses to get a clear view of what she was meant to be seeing.
Boruto Uzumaki. THE BORUTO UZUMAKI... was on a stage, and not embarrassing himself.
Quite the contrary, he was killing the mic.
He looked good on stage with the black t-shirt and red tie.
Of course she would never admit that out loud, that would just kill her reputation.
She always did wonder why Chou-chou was always pestering her to visit the Konoha square midnight parties but she didnt think that it would be this... fun.
Yes. Sarada Uchiha found it fun.
Especially since Konoha teens were celebrating the fire works festival that night.
'So Sarada! Ya like?' Chou-chou nudged her friend lightly in the ribs.
Sarada smirked.
'While Ii suppose it's not that bad...' she said
'If the bill board brow doesn't find this fun then she's a lost cause.' Inojin remarked flatly. 'Even Himawari is here and she' supposedly scared of parties.'
Sarada frowned at the blonde who was poring himself a glass of sake before turning back her attention to Boruto.
sparks in the air like the fourth of July...
'No one told me the dobe could rap like that.' she remarked as Chou-chou ate on a kabob. 'I mean- I know he can sing but...'
'Sake?' Inojin offered.
'No, I dont drink.' the seventeen year old said drily. Shikadai was already totally wasted and Kiva was well on her way to passing out. Rock Shen-Long was dancing like a psycopath, foolishly showing of the secrets of his drunken fist style. She sighed loudly, shaking her head in awe.
For a genius, she couldn't comprehend the concept of teenage hormones.
nothing but real niggas only...
"Bad bitches only, rich niggas only! independent bitches only!"
'LEMME HEAR YA PEOPLE!' Boruto yelled and held out the mic for the crowd to sing the chorus.
Kakashi, Kurenai, Guy and Anko watched.
'Aye these kids...' Kakashi sighed.
'Their youth sparks strong!' Guy cheered enthusiastically.
'Boruto is more delicious than his furball father. I can tell.' Anko said with a familiar bloodlust.
Kurenai rolled her eyes good naturedly.
"let's see how tonight ends up with these kids." she thought, amused.
Sarada bobbed her head to the song. It wasnt her type of beats, but Boruto sure new how to carry a tune.
Boruto on the other hand, had an adrenaline rush. Only was the fifth song he had performed for the chunins of konoha and they wanted more!
"Heh heh, if only you could see me now dad." he thought with a smirk. His smirk melted into a grin when he saw Sarada in her red sleeveless blouse with the cowl neck and a black skirt with black tights.
'Who loves karaoke nights!?' he yelled excitedly.
"WE DO!"
'You do?!' he asked loudly.
"YEAH!"
'Hey guys! guess what food made it to the party?' he called on the microphone.
'WHAT?!' someone asked.
'SALAD!'
The crowd went wild with fanboys stripping their clothes much to the young Uchiha's dismay.
Sarada froze, her blood running cold.
'What the-?!'
Inojin nudged her in the ribs.
'That's your cue doll face.' he whisphered in her ear as she immediately gave him a backhand.
Boruto chuckled. Last Saturday, Sarada had made him where a freaking clown costume at her little brother's-Itachi's- birthday party, terrifyingly deflating his ego. Being the brooding female's closest friend, he well knew of her terrifying stage frights on stage, which he considered a shame because she had quite a talent actually...
"Revenge is sweet." he thought smugly as he began to speak again. 'That's right people!' He called to the screaming crowd. 'Sarada FREAKING Uchiha! AKA-'
"SALAAAD! the crowd drawled out, officially crazy. Himawari, who was in charge of the lighting, shined a red spotlight on Sarada who was now officially evaporating on the spot.
'Come on up best pal of mine!' he yelled enthusiastically... too enthusiastically. Her eyes narrowed to slits, shooting death glares at the blonde son of the hokage.
"I WILL KILL YOU." she mouthed non-chalantly at her "best pal".
Boruto seemed unfazed though.
'Hey sis! Do a family friend a favour and put it on her favourite will ya?'
'Sure Boruto!' Himawari said excitedly and did her thing with the DJ machine. 'Switching to Moment For Life: karaoke special.'
Sarada broke into a cold sweat, remembering when the Uzumaki siblings caught her singing by her granmother's grand piano.
"It's awesome Salad... I couldn't have done it better myself."
"Sarada nee-chan! That was awesome!"
She knew she had the talent. But she was just so damn reserved... Sarada found herself wishing she could be more like Boruto, who didn't know shame if it hit him in the face. She-dare she say it... admired his boldness.
"SARADA! SARADA!"
Kiva and Inojin shoved her on stage and Boruto shoved a mike in her hand.
'Kill it Uchiha.' he said with a smirk.
Sarada's eyes never left the floor as Himawari set up the song. Boruto noticed this and felt guilty. Should he have just let her enjoy the party in the comfort of friends. He shook of that thought.
Sarada helped him not fail in the academy.
Sarada came back to save him when they kidnapped him for ransom during a return from their first mission.
Sarada stood by him when they made him a jinchuriki.
Sarada stood by him when Grandpa Hiashi died.
Sarada helped him live up to his father's living legacy... and his uncle's.
Sarada helped him achieve his maximum potential and rediscover himself.
Now he'd do the same.
'Sarada look at me.' he said boldly. 'You're the genius. I'm the goof. If the goof can pull it off, you can kill it.'
Sarada let her dark coal eyes meet a swirl of something between cerulean and lavender ones and at that moment, as the intro of the song came to a close, the Uchiha made a resolve.
"Thank you... Boruto Uzumaki." She let her eyes fall on the crowd.
I fly with the stars in the skies
I am no longer trying to survive
"I'm done living my father's legacy. I am who I am in my own right. I can only live life once. Yesterday with the whole great ninja war was history. Tomorrow is... a mystery. But today with my friends tonight, in this square, is a gift and that's why it's called present."
I believe that life is a prize
But to live doesn't mean you're alive
Don't worry 'bout me and who I fire
I get what I desire, it's my empire
"It's my life... not yours papa.. mama... so don't worry..."
And yes I call the shots, I am the umpire
I sprinkle holy water upon the vampire
In this very moment I'm king
In this very moment I slay Goliath with a sling
In this very moment I bring, put it on everything
That I will retire with the ring
"In this moment I might as well just give up my stoic personality..."
And I will retire with the crown, yes
No, I'm not lucky, I'm blessed, yes
The crowd went wild and she smirked.
Clap for the heavy weight champ, me
But I couldn't do it all alone, we
"yeah. clap for me..."
Young money raised me, grew up out in Baisley
South side Jamaica, Queens and it's crazy
Cause I'm still hood, Hollywood couldn't change me
Shout out to my haters
She winked at a scowling Inojin who was hoping she'd make a fool of herself.
Sorry that you couldn't faze me
Ain't being cocky, we just vindicated
Best believe that what we done this moment
Will be syndicated, I don't know
This night just remind me of
Everything they deprived me of
"So this is what you hid me from papa? From the joy of being allowed to express myself amongst my friends?"
Kiva handed her a glass of sake and she grinned, well aware of the next line.
Put your drinks up
It's a celebration every time we link up
We done did everything they could think of
Greatness is what we on the brink of
'GIVE IT UP FOR KONOHA TEENAGE NINJAS PEOPLE!' Boruto roared at the crowd as she entered the chorus. 'GREATNESS IS WHAT WE ON BRINK OF!'
Sarada smiled. Leave it to the dobe to spur the crowd on.
I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
"I am not giving this night up for the world." she thought ecstatically.
"Cause in this moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive!"
I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
This is my moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive
Boruto launched in the second verse and Sarada followed his key.
Meanwhile...
'Teme calm down... she's almost seventeen cut her some slack already.' Naruto said to a boiling Sasuke. 'hell knows I'm more protective over Himawari than you over Sarada, yet I let her go.'
Sasuke bit his tongue from saying something nasty about his daughter because Naruto definitely was not kidding about being protective.
He still stormed towards the square.
'SAKURA-CHAN! HINATA-CHAN! DO SOMETHING!'
'Sasuke-kun... Naruto is right. You can't lock her up forever.'
Sasuke sighed in defeat.
'I wish I could.'
The others caught up with them.
'Fore-head, your family drama get's more interesting by the second.'
'If I'm correct, Sasuke is having trouble letting his hormonal driven daughter take care of herself.'
'Sai... would it kill you to shut up?' Naruto hissed.
but the artist continued, unaware of the rage and anxiety he stirred in the Uchiha patriarch.
'A book I read says girls at that age tend to be more sexually active.' he said with a great big smile.
'GUYS! HELP ME HOLD DOWN THE TEME!'
Ino-Shika-Cho intervened, but not before Ino whacked Sai up the head.
'Man Sasuke, I never thought I'd see the day...' Suigetsu said, chuckling.
Sasuke struggled on to the square and soon the adults were surrounded by drunk, excited, chatty teenage ninjas. No one even acknowledged the presence of their Hokage.
'Oh my... is that... Sarada-chan?!' Hinata gasped. Immediately Sasuke's and Sakura's heads shot up.
I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive
Sarada's eyes met her father's and paled. When the crowd repeated the chorus instead of her, Boruto instantly caught her gaze and followed it then he frowned. Himawari got the message and put the chorus on repeat on Boruto's signal. Boruto grabbed her hand and eyes frantically met his.
'Boruto...' she whisphered. 'M-m-my... papa... he's watching me...'
'My father saw me on this stage three years ago... and I thought of suicide.'
"I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive"
The crowd was starting to stir but trust the new generation konoha twelve to handle things.
'Sarada, being cool headed and calculated and downright mean and evil and conniving and-'
'Get to the point dobe.' Sarada deadpanned. She could see Lee and Tenten holding him down.
'Okay. Point is... that's who you are. I'm a goof but it's who I am. But I love the people.' he grinned at the roaring crowd, earning whoops.
'This is taking us too long, I'm activating tsukiyunmi.' Sarada sighed, rolling her eyes as she activated her sharingan and cast the illusion. 'Continue.'
'And you clearly love music. It doesn't change who you are but it definitely makes you feel better.'
'I have a legacy to live up to...' she said sadly.
'Yeah well so do I.' Boruto admitted. 'But who says I can't live my own life?'
Sarada smiled and blushed microscopically.
'Thanks... dobe.' she dispelled the illusion and signaled Himawari to continue, but not before holding Boruto's hand. Sasuke noticed this and had a meltdown but Sarada didn't let go. Boruto blushed but held her hand firmly. Sarada was his friend and call him crazy... but maybe she was more...
Instead she held his gaze, one as intense as hers... she was going to send him a message...
"papa..."
This is my moment
I waited all my
Life, I can tell it's time
Drifting away, I'm
One with the sunsets
I have become alive
She turned to Boruto, who was staring intensely at her.
Flashbacks of her life with him came back.
birthdays
academy
graduating from academy
first accidental kiss-which by the way she thought her family and his were cursed with for all time
their first mission
him getting kidnapped
they fighting alongside each other
her teaching him math
him teaching her soccer
yearly festival dances at Hokage mountain
Christmas mornings
summer nights
I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive
'They look so sweet...' Sakura sighed. Sasuke was compelled to agree. She was happy and she was still who she was. Ino smilde and hugged her friend.
'Our kids are growing up Forehead.'
Kiba smirked at Hinata and Naruto.
'I expect grand childrenHinata-chan.'
'Oh! Kiba-kun!' she said, blushing.
Naruto couldn't have been any more proud of his rapping-o-maniac of a son than he already was.
'Ma ma Hinata-chan... would you look at that.' he tossed Sasuke a grin. 'You my friend, are going to have a very very hyper in-law.'
'I can tell. I'm going to make your life and your son's very very difficult.' he replied with a smirk.
Boruto and Sarada made a resolve that night at that particular annual fireworks festival, tossing everyone else to hell.
She held the microphone to her lips, lost in a swirl of cerulean and lavender and sang softly:
I wish that I could have this moment
For life, for life, for life
Cause in this moment I just feel so
Alive, alive, alive
'WOOHOO! GO ANIKI' Himawari yelled excitedly.
'I APPLAUD THE STEPS YOU'VE TAKEN TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM SEXUALITY SALAD!' Inojin called loudly earning hard smacks from Sakura, Sasuke and Ino.
'Yay BoruSara!' Chouchou yelled.
'Relationships are a drag I say!' Shikadai called, making Shikamaru smile in glee.
'I taught you well my son.'
'You didn't teach him at all.' Temari drily commented.
Sarada pulled away from Boruto, smiling and blushing deeply as the crowd went "aw..."
But then her eyes met her father's and she couldn't read his gaze. Panic swelled up inside her and her resolve faded away.
'Sarada...' Boruto called softly. Tearful coal eyes met his.
'Boruto... I'm sorry...' she gave him the microphone and ran away.
Everybody's jaw fell in shock.
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?' Kiva and Chouchou yelled.
Sasuke was in shock.
"Sarada-chan... what exactly is the problem?"
A/N: I'm home guys! So idle now... should I continue or leave it? This is based on my favourite song for all time: moment for life by my all time ho Nicki Minaj...
I wanted to express both problem with living up to standard but still focusing on Sarada more... how did I do?
