Boruto, Mitsuki, and Shikadai rode atop the train car to Inojin's house to hang out with him.
"Do you think he's enjoying our presents or did he just put on a cheery smile to just get us to go away?" Boruto wondered aloud.
"He's shady, but not a dick. I'm sure he appreciates our gifts, but I doubt he's using any of them right away." Shikadai reassured Boruto, the blond was a mystery but he wasn't impossible to read, they were friends after all. Inojin appreciated their gifts for sure.
The train came to a stop and the boys hopped off the train. They headed down to Inojin's house enjoying the scenery as they had lively conversation. They walked into the flower shop and were greeted by a sweet woman arranging flowers, it was Ino.
"Good Morning boys, are you here for Inojin?" The three nodded in unison at her question as she asked putting her work on hold just for her guests.
...
Inojin ran downstairs and waved bye to his mom before joining the trio.
"So who's next?" Inojin asked as he leaned on Shikadai, an arm slung over the dark haired preteen's shoulder.
"Well, it's ChoCho, Sarada, the Class Rep, Denki, Iwabe, and a few more..." Boruto listed as he held up seven fingers.
"Let's pick up Denki, it's less of a drag." Shikadai pushed Inojin off of him and started walking towards the tallest tower in Konoha. Inojin just shrugged off the action as he walked after the preteen with a sly smile.
...
They roamed down the wide corridors of the empty mansion.
"DENKI! DENKI!" Boruto shouted loudly as he looked around. Shikadai nudged the blond to shut him up, they were in someone's home, a mansion to be precise. There was no need for such ruckus.
"Hey be quiet, it's rude to shout." Boruto shot him a glare as held up his hands and cast the "shadow clone jutsu."
4 clones of Boruto poofed alive and nodded at the original as they scattered throughout the mansion to find Denki. Shikadai shook his head in disappointment.
"You rely on those clones too much... it's such a drag." He lazily looked at Boruto who pulled his bottom eyelid down and stuck his tongue out.
"You're a drag," retorted Boruto smiled and shrugged, " it's not that bad, besides you have to admit it's easier this way." Shikadai sighed heavily and pulled out his phone to text Denki, "Met us outside your house..." He read the text out loud as he typed and sent it.
"Okay" came a quick reply that he read out loud for others to hear. After that Shikadai grabbed Boruto as he dragged the blond.
"He's waiting for us outside you numskull." He pulled the blond along by the wrist as the rest followed them outside the maze. Denki and Iwabe waved to the group as they exited the house.
"You need a smaller house, ya know..." Boruto complained as he fist bumped Iwabe and afterward rubbed at his wrist as he glared at Shikadai.
"You just need a GPS" Mitsuki teased Boruto, a smirk forming along his lips as he saw the blond prepare a response. Boruto would have spewed it out, if only he hadn't been interrupted by a thought.
"Mitsuki, Shikadai, Denki, Iwabe, Inojin..." Boruto sticked up a finger for each name he listed then turned to Shikadai.
"All of us are here... now we just need the girls," Shikadai sighed as he rubbed his neck, "man, why are we doing this again?" Shikadai questioned out loud suddenly feeling a new wave of laziness hit him. Boruto simply smirked as he was creating a devious plan.
"I ain't telling till it's time to tell~." Was Boruto's only response as he walked away with a devilish smirk.
...
At last, after everyone was finally rounded up. Boruto led them to a burger joint where they gathered to hold some sort of meeting.
"You may be wondering why I had gathered you here, well I'll get to that shortly. I'm hungry." Sarada glared at Boruto as the boy smiled at the displeased faces everyone made.
"Hurry up dobe, I could be training instead of interacting with your shenanigans."
"Then why are you here?" Boruto retorted with his mouth full a cheeky smile present once he finished his statement and continued chewing. But his smart-ass remark only helped causing Sarada to smack him upside the head.
"Because ChoCho is here and she said we're doing something fun!" She looked the side as she whispered the next part, "and you did mention the Hokage..." she trailed off with that last part.
"Why you so interested in my old man anyway?" Boruto looked at her a bit annoyed, "don't you know that the "NEXT" Hokage is gonna be Konohamaru?" Boruto shot Sarada a glare before finishing his burger. "But yes, my dad is part of this grand plan of mine, and we all have very important roles to play."
"Firstly, my dad and the village officials are having a meeting. They won't be in the Kage mansion by then, so that's where we'll play our assault." Everyone was closely paying attention to Boruto's words as he almost whispered it, "Iwabe and Denki will be responsible for making sure the meeting doesn't end early and if it does they'll be the ones to stall." The boys nodded not sure if they actually wanted to get involved in the first place.
"Next, ChoCho and Class Rep will keep any other admin away from the Hokage's office by any means necessary. Inojin and Sarada, if the Class rep and ChoCho should fail you'll be waiting by the office door to give a signal if anyone is coming. Shikadai and I will go in and vandalise anything and everything as much as possible to give my dad a hard time."
"Hold on, if I'm caught, I'll have to deal with my mom... and she's worse than yours." Shikadai became pale and protested as he felt his stomach clench painfully.
"Don't worry my friend, if things go badly - which I really doubt they will - I'll make sure to take all of the blame for the mess. Trust me, if everyone plays their part perfectly no one will get caught." Boruto reassured the crowd of worried preteens.
...
The day came for Boruto's greatest prank ever, but it didn't go out like he expected at all.
...
"Shikadai, you ready?" Boruto asked. Shikadai simply nodded as he held the door open for Boruto as the carried buckets of paint in.
Denki and Iwabe waited out the meeting incase the officials would decide to end the meeting early.
ChoCho and the Class Rep focused on diverting anyone who came their way away from the Hokage's mansion.
Sarada and Inojin were nowhere to be found...
"Oi, where are they?!" Boruto yellingly whispered to Shikadai whom simply shrugged.
"I dunno, but we only have one shot at this, better hurry... " Boruto painted words on the walls such as "Asshole" "Idiot" "Neglector".
Meanwhile Shikadai drew mildly-explicit pictures on the floors and the Kage's desk, like dickbutt and a middle finger.
"Man couldn't you get the artistic kid to do this? What a drag..." Shikadai complained as he tipped a bucket of paint over.
"He'll get caught for sure... at least this way my dad'll think it's a one man job." explained Boruto to the dark haired teen, sometimes it almost seemed as if his dad's super genius genes hadn't been passed down.
...
ChoCho and The Class Rep ran around the village advising anyone, even making sure Naruto's own shadow clones don't go back. They ran north to south, east to west, keeping the outside world from entering the Hokage's mansion. ChoCho suddenly stopped and rested her hands on her knees.
"I'M DYING!" she cried out as the Class Rep handed her a bottle of water.
"You're going to be fine ChoCho, just breathe..." ChoCho dramatically took a sharp inhale, then proceeded to scream.
"BORUTO!"
Boruto felt shivers creep down his spine as he knocked a few books off the shelves.
The meeting had ended early, and it was time for Iwabe and Denki to stall Naruto. Denki completely blanked out on what he was suppose to be doing and Iwabe had to improvise somehow. He took a deep inhale, grabbed Denki's hand and walked towards Naruto.
"Kage-Naruto, I'd like to ask you some questions." his heartbeat was quickening at a steady rate and the boy next to him didn't seem to react or help with his input.
Naruto stopped in his tracks and saw Iwabe and Denki walk towards him.
"What's up?" he replied. Iwabe's faced light up brightly as he blurted something out without thinking twice.
"Will you bless me and Denki as a couple?!" Denki's face burned up as he hid behind Iwabe. Naruto quirked an eyebrow and smiled.
"Sure thing." he smiled at the young boys and their awkward situation. Love sure made kids do stupid things... like asking him for a blessing for a relationship that should only be of their concern. He'd be lying if he said he didn't feel flattered however...
Sarada sipped her milkshake as Inojin came out the ice cream shop with a strawberry ice cream cone.
"So Sarada, is this more enjoyable than participating in devious acts?" Inojin asked as he licked at his ice cream.
"Inojin..." Sarada started as she chose her words carefully "are we a thing?" she asked with a blush creeping on her face. Inojin face grew a shade of pink matching his ice cream.
"Yes..." he breathed out.
...
Iwabe and Denki started to panic as they ran out of idea after idea to try to stall Naruto. It seemed the older blond was headed straight for the Hokage's mansion. Iwabe pulled out his phone and texted Shikadai.
"HE'S COMING, HURRY!" the dark haired preteen replied quickly after reading the message.
"Alright."
"Boruto, your dad is on the way here, we better hurry." Shikadai related Iwabe's information to the blond who drawing middle fingers on the windows. Boruto peered out the doors.
"Okay if we hurry now, we can make it out without getting caught" Shikadai nodded not too sure about the blond's plan but he trusted that he wouldn't let him down and keep his promise.
...
The two bolted out the Kage's mansion and ran downstairs only to bump into Naruto.
Boruto looked up to Shikadai, he slightly waved his hand and motioned for Shikadai to leave.
Shikadai slowly got up, dusted himself off and apologize to Naruto as he quickly ran off. Naruto stared down at his son.
"What did you do this time?" he questioned, eyeing his son suspiciously.
"It depends... will all my acquaintances be pardoned of this crime?" Boruto whispered out as he glared at his old man. Naruto sighed in defeat knowing its best to meet his demands.
"Your acquaintances are pardoned of all crimes, and you'll take responsibility." Boruto smirked and got up.
"Enter your office."
