Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto like always!

It's after the exams and Hinata has sent her son to go see his father at work and Temari and Shikadai will accompany him there –that's weird all in itself, but Boruto is still suffering and highly curious about the events over his exam… what happened in that testing room?

Boruto Uzumaki stared at his Sensei's unable to move. Tenten smiled at him, encouraging the boy to go ahead and perform the necessary jutsu to pass. Shino pushed up his glasses.

"Young Uzumaki please begin, it's because I'm waiting."

Boruto gulped for the billionth time. He made the hand signs and shouted…

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Boruto pouted and kicked rocks as he and Shikadai made their way to the Hokage's office. For the first time since ever his mother hadn't been at the academy to walk him and Shikadai home. Instead she had sent Temari Nara to take them to the office, well Boruto to the office that is. Shikadai and his mother were going to drop him off and then go grocery shopping. Shikadai muttered next to his friend. He looked at him lazily.

"Hey. How'd your test go?"

Boruto sighed in aggravation.

"I don't want to talk about it…" He said quietly.

Shikadai looked at his friend slightly confused. He stuffed his hands into his pockets deep in thought.

"Don't tell me you failed. "Cause if you did that would be slightly troublesome."

Boruto instantly blushed.

He put his hands up defensively.

"No. no. no. Nothing like that."

"Then what is it?"

Boruto bit his lip thinking back on his test.

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Next to him appeared a clone- however it looked different from him. The clone did not have blonde locks like he did, but rather red ones. Shino Aburame and Tenten stared at Boruto. Tenten pointed.

"Um. Boruto?The clone is good, but you have to make it look exactly like you."

"Yes. And this one doesn't look exactly like you- that's because he has red hair."

Boruto blushed. He glared at the clone and curled his hand into a fist.

"HEY! You're supposed to have blonde hair not red hair dattabasa! What's the big idea!?"

The clone merely yawned and smacked its lips.

"There is no idea. Can I go now? You're not in danger."

Boruto paled.

"Say what now?"

Shino grunted.

Boruto make another clone please. It's because I have to be sure that you can pull off actually making an exact replica of yourself not an almost one."

Tenten nodded.

"Yeah. But I'm sure you can do it since you pulled this one off. Try again."

Boruto looked down and bit his lip.

"I can only pull off making one…"

"What was that?"

Bolt shook his head and weaved the signs for the technique.

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Next to him stood two perfect clones. Blonde hair and all."

Boruto gaped.

How'd I do that? I couldn't do that before.

Tenten smiled.

"Cool… it looks like your first clone er- almost clone helped you out to make two others

Shino blinked taking in the scene. He fixed his glasses.

"I'll pass you, it's because you were able to make two that looked exactly like you even though you first produced a faulted one."

Boruto just stood there slightly dazed that he was able to make three standing clones when usually his were lying on the floor.

"Boruto. Yo. Boruto!"
Boruto snapped out of his flashback.

"Huh?"

Shikadai gave him an irritated look. He placed a finger rather harshly on his chest.

"Stop zoning out idiot."

Boruto growled.

"I'm not an idiot you lazy bum."

Shikadai's eye twitched.

"Baaaaaaka."

Was all he said as he strutted behind his mother leaving Boruto glaring at his best friend. After a few minutes Boruto went back to pouting as he ran to catch up to Temari and her son.

I wonder why my first clone had red hair anyway…

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are conversing about what Naruto wants Sasuke to do, or at least trying to, while waiting for Boruto to show up. But instead of him walking in, four certain beings appear instead. Four beings with a scroll that will alter the peacefulness of the ninja world…

Naruto sat with his back turned towards his best friend. He had his hands folded in front of his face. He looked out the window at his village. He sighed.

"Dobe."

Naruto shook his head.

"Can you believe it? Our kids are getting ready to become genin."

Sasuke raised his eyebrow.

"Hn."

Naruto smiled.

"I need you to help me with something."

Sasuke folded his arms."

"Yes?"

Naruto turned to face the man that brought back to the village.

"When are you taking leave again?"

Sasuke examined Naruto.

He's trying not to tell me something.

He shrugged.

Naruto chuckled.

"Aww c'mon Teme, I know you have a set date. You're a OCD freak like that."

Sasuke's eye twitched. He sighed irritated that Naruto wouldn't spit out what he wanted to ask.

"In a few weeks. Sakura wanted me to stay and help Sarada settle as a new genin before I left again. Why does this matter?"

Naruto just nodded, grabbing a bowl of ramen off his desk and slurping it.

"That's good to hear."

"Dobe spit it out."

Blue hues held a stern gaze with dark ones.

Naruto sighed and sat his cup down. He stayed still until he entered sage mode.

"I need you to- what the hell?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was now in Sage mode. Before he could ask him what was wrong, the door to Naruto's office opened instantly got on the defense as four cloaked figures entered and closed the door behind them. He growled.

"Who are you and how'd you get in?"

He finally realized why Naruto had sad that. The main sensed evil.

The first figure chuckled.

"Calm now Sasuke-kun. No need to bear ill-will old friend."

Naruto and Sasuke gasped slightly. They knew that voice.

Kabuto lowered his hood smiling.

"Oh how rude of us. Let us properly greet the Hokage."

The silver haired man got on one knee as did the other three figures paying respect to Naruto. Naruto glared at him.

"What do you want Kabuto?"

The second figure laughed crazily.

"Suigetsu."

The said man lowered his hood.

"What's good Sasuke-kun? Hokage-sama?"

Naruto stood up slowly. He eyed the four; the aura the other two hooded figures possessed seemed familiar.

Juugo was the next to lower his hood. That was why. Naruto and Sasuke instantly know the last one was none other than Karin.

"Hello Sasuke-kun, how have you been?"

"SASUKE!" The red haired woman jumped on Sasuke. He tensed up and gritted his teeth."

"Karin. Off."

Suigetsu began to laugh hysterically.

"He still doesn't want you Karin!"

Karin growled and began to pound the man. Naruto heaved out in aggravation.

"Kabuto?"

Kabuto handed over the scroll to the Hokage.

"This is for you, Sasuke-kun I would take a look at it too."

"Kabuto, the jutsu will wear off in a few minutes."

Kabuto smirked.

"I really wanted to see their faces when they read it though. Oh well we must be getting back to Lord Orochimaru. Have a nice day Hokage-sama. Sasuke-kun."

"BYE SASUKE! I hope that pink haired bitch is doing you well, because if she's not, you know where to find me!"

Karin said winking. Sasuke averted her gaze obviously disgusted. With that the quad performed hand signs and disappeared. Naruto and Sasuke stared at the missing nins.

"How'd they get in here?"

Naruto shook his head. He was slightly panicked. He had a bad feeling about the content in that scroll. Not only that, but the village's security was easily done away with by a jutsu. Nothing about this scenario was good.

"I have no idea. Where are Shikamaru and Shizune?"

The two people mentioned then entered the room.

"Hokage-sama Boruto is here now."

Naruto was still in a frenzy as was Sasuke, but they couldn't worry the others just yet.

"Bring him in. Shikamaru stay close by I need to discuss something with you afterwards. Thank you for telling Hinata to send Boruto."

Sasuke watched his friend confused. He grabbed the scroll and hid it behind his back so that Shizune and Shikamaru didn't see it. He was surprised they didn't notice that his sharigan was activated.

Bolt walked in deep in thought. Naruto shook off the feeling of something bad going to soon happen and greeted his son as Shikamaru and Shizune left the room to go do some other stuff for him. Once they left Sasuke scanned the scroll instantly feeling a rage build up in him.

"Hey Bolt. How was your test."

Bolt bit his lip then smiled.

"It went well dattebasa."

"That's great dattebayo!"

Sasuke tapped Naruto's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"You need to read this now."

He looked at Boruto and nodded his head.

Bolt smiled, though he noticed his dad seemed worried and Sasuke's sharigan.

"Sup Uncle Teme…"

He couldn't bite his lip.

"Tou-san is there something wrong?"

Naruto had grown pale quickly reading the scroll over ignoring his son.

"Tou-san?"

Naruto glanced up at his son a new expression Bolt had never seen on his father's face.

Is that terror?

"N-No. Nothing's wrong."

Naruto handed the scroll to Sasuke.

"Go speak with my wife please. This is urgent."

Sasuke nodded walking out the door. Bolt watched him.

"Tou-san what's going on?"

Naruto smiled that trade like grin of his.

"I told you nothing."

"Your face says something else. By the way why couldn't Mama walk me here?"

Naruto forced a smile.

"Because I wanted to show you something, and if Hina-chan came, Hima would've begged me to give her this too."

"Give her this too?"

Naruto pulled out his old forehead protector, for a minute forgetting the threat Orochimaru had posed on his family.

"Here I want you to have this Bolt."

It's been quite some time since Neji Hyuga's death and to say the least Hinata Uzumaki misses him all the time and never fails visiting his grave with her daughter while Naruto and Boruto are at work and school respectively. However, today something is a tad bit off…and Hinata feels as though something will change their lives forever…

Hinata held her daughter's hand as they walked up the stairs to get to Konoha's graveyard. She was happy she ran into Temari Nara. She had told Shikamaru's wife that Boruto was needed at the Hokage's office. Temari of course had bluntly asked Hinata why she couldn't accompany her son to his father, to which Hinata couldn't give a legit answer. Why? Because she was told by Shikamaru that Naruto didn't want her to. The woman was not about to allow her prankster of a son go by himself, so she needed to find someone to walk him. And that someone ened up being Temari. Though she still wondered why she couldn't take Boruto like she usually did when Naruto asked to see him. She was happy that one, Naruto made his breaks around the same time as Boruto got out of school and two, on his breaks, her husband would call for his son. He did this when Bolt had drawn on the Hokage faces during the Five Hokage Summit and when Hinata had told him that same night that Boruto rebelled so much because he missed him. Sending for his kid on his breaks to spend about fifteen to thirty minutes with him had ceased the extreme pranks Boruto usually did, but he still performed others…

The sun graced both her and her daughter as the all too familiar graves appeared. Hinata smiled sadly.

"Mama?"

She looked down at her little Hima and smiled.

Nejinii-san, you would love Hima and Bolt if you were here…

"Yes sweetie?"

"Can I go put the new sunflowers next to Uncle now?"

Hinata nodded.

She watched as her little girl ran up to Neji's grave, removing the old sunflowers and inserting the new ones. She smiled. Hinata felt frozen. She couldn't move any closer to his grave right now. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but it was so hard today to see it. She knew if she was as close as Hima was right now she would cry and Hima hated seeing her mother cry.

Nejinii-san, I miss you so much.

Hinata's smile soon began to falter, only not because she was about to cry, but because she could have sworn she saw something. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a figure move. Himawari wasn't that far away from her, but it was enough space between her and her daughter that if that was in fact an intruder he could possibly get to Hima before her. In an attempt not to scare her child, Hinata cautiously but quickly closed the gap.

"Byakugan!"

Hima, unfortuantely heard her mother activate her eyes. Her head whipped to her mother who was focused on the trees that were directly in front of her. Hima pouted.

Curse papa for giving me his eyes and not mama's. I can't see what she does….

The little girl strained to see if she could pick up anything. She couldn't

"Hima get behind me."

Hima hurriedly got behind Hinata. Hinata stayed locked on the area that she was sure held a trespasser, but after a few minutes of not catching any more chakra, she straightened from her attack position shaking her head. She laughed worriedly.

"Sorry sweetie. I guess mama overreacted."

Hima just nodded, though she was sure her mother had in fact seen something. She shrugged it off though as she took Hinata's hand. The two began to walk towards the marketplace to get groceries for tonight's dinner party that Shikamaru also told her about. Being the woman she was, Hinata had to take something to Sasuke's and Sakura's. What the dish would be… Ramen of course. Hinata looked back at the area having a bad feeling about something. She couldn't put her hand on it, but something wasn't right.

I know there was someone there… I may have to go bother Naruto-kun about this.

"Mama! Can you get extra naruto to put in our ramen?!"

Hinata giggled. Boruto may look exactly like Naruto, but the one who had his unconditional love for ramen was his baby girl. Hima and Naruto would go through Hinata's famous ramen-as her husband put it- like it was nothing, and Hinata made quite the batch. Each time they asked for more ramen, they asked for extra naruto. Hinata knew Naruto loved the food he was named after but she was a little confused as to why Hima couldn't get enough of it.

"Hima? Why do you like naruto so much?"

Hima, who was holding three packs of the said food in her tiny little hands giggled.

"Because it has the same name as papa of course!"

The woman who ran the shop laughed as did Hinata.

"Oh I see."

"Hinata-chan."

Upon hearing her name Hinata looked at the man who said it while paying for the ingredients. Dark hair and eyes met dark hair and lilac ones.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Uncle Sasuke!"

Hima ran to the man and gave him a big hug. He tensed up a little from the sudden contact but nonetheless, half returned it. Sasuke Uchiha really only allowed two women to hug him: his wife and his daughter, but for some reason he would allow Hima to hug him also. As much as he hated to admit it, it was because he felt Dobe made quite the little girl. Hima was such a pretty child- though his Uchiha child was much prettier, the small Uzumaki was next in line.

"Okay. Enough Hima."

Himawari started laughing.

"Uncle Sasuke you know you love my hugs."

Under his bangs Sasuke looked at the small child.

"Hn."

Hinata chimed in then.

"Sasuke-kun, it could be worse. She could try to hit you like Bolt does or call you- you know what Naruto and Bolt call you."

Sasuke stared at the woman bored, though she was right. He just couldn't help think of one thing though. Hinata Uzumaki was the type of woman who hated cursing, and did it rarely, unlike Sasuke's queen. Sasuke remembered the first time she did it. The day the gang went to get Korean bbq, and a drunken Hinata cursed out an even more drunk Naruto who had vomitted on the waitress. It was the only time any of the group had witnessed an angry Hinata towards Naruto.

"Did you need something?"

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts. He simply nodded.

"We need to talk. Can we drop off Hima at my house?"

Hinata stared at the man before her.

"Um. Of course."

After Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Uzumaki dropped off Himawari at his place, the two went to the graveyard.

"Have you visited here today?"

Hinata had an inkling that Sasuke knew she did. Naruto had this village at the palm of his hand. He knew just about everything that happened in it, sometimes even before it happened. Not only that, but he used his Sage mode to make sure Hinata and his kids were okay all the time. Hinata, happy her husband wanted to ensure their safety, wanted him to focus more on his work however. She could handle herself and protect their kids if push came to shove-Naruto knew this. But Naruto didn't want to lose her so he still used his Sage mode to sense out evil, and if it was too close to the village and his family, he made sure Sasuke took care of it. Therefore, if Hinata had in fact felt someone earlier, she knew Naruto had sensed them long before she even thought someone was watching them.

"Yes, actually Hima and I came here earlier."

"So Naruto was right."

Hinata frowned.

"Right about what?"

Sasuke sighed, while pulling out a scroll.

"Sasuke-kun what's that?"

"Something that lets us know that you guys are being watched."

Oh snap! What is Orochimaru up to? How did those four get into the village unnoticed? What is Naruto going to do about this threat? What did he have to speak to Sasuke about Bolt? What is going to happen at the dinner part?! Tune in until next time. Remember to favorite, follow and review. Bye guys!Hi
