Boruto sat on top of the Hokage monument and stared out in front of him, his knees to his chest. "My mom said you would be here." Sarada said, sitting down next to him. "What do you want Sarada?" Boruto asked. "My mom wants to talk to you." Sarada said. "I don't wanna talk." Boruto said. "She knew you would say that and she said it's important. She also made ramen." Sarada said. "Fine." Boruto said, standing up.
Boruto and Sarada walked into the kitchen and Sakura smiled at him. "Boruto, sit down please." Sakura said. "Boruto, you shouldn't be upset with your father." Sakura said. "Aren't you upset with Uncle Sasuke?" Boruto asked. "Not at all." Sakura smiled. "What?" Boruto said, shocked. "Let me tell you about growing up with those two. They had a rivalry that was thick, they were always competing, they were always trying to out do the other. When your uncle ran off all those years ago, Naruto ran after him, chased him for years. He trained so hard that when he got home, I barely recognized him. For the longest time, Naruto was chasing Sasuke to keep a promise to me, well at least that's what I thought. One day, I confessed my love to Naruto in an attempt to stop him from chasing after Sasuke. Naruto could read through my lie. That day, is the day I realized that Naruto loved Sasuke, more than just a friend. He said to me 'Saving Sasuke is just something I need to do.' And that's when I knew. It was more confirmed for me when your father had a severe panic attack when they told him that they were planning on killing Sasuke. I knew Sasuke's love for Naruto was true when they fought together in the end and they were so protective of each other, it was so beautiful..." Sakura started to tear up. Boruto was looking at her in disbelief, these were things that his father had never told him. "I just need you to know that your father has loved Sasuke for a long time, it was something that grew over time, it didn't just happen overnight. Naruto knew that these feelings for Sasuke were taboo, that's why they have both lived this lie for so long. But that doesn't mean that your father doesn't love you, Himawara, and your mother. He loves you all with his whole heart, I promise you. But Naruto has invested so much blood and tears into Sasuke, he loves him so much. Your father couldn't be without him. And Sasuke couldn't be without Naruto, ever." Sakura finished, wiping a tear from her eye. Boruto looked down at his hands and tried to process everything he had just heard. All he knew for a fact, he felt terrible. "I have to go see my dad." Boruto said, standing up and running out of the house.
Naruto held his head in his hands, he had a terrible headache. He hadn't heard from Sasuke in over a month, he hadn't seen his children, he was falling apart. Naruto looked up when there was a knock on his door, Boruto walked in. "Dad..." Boruto began, his dad looked terrible. "Boruto, I forgive you. I deserve it, I really do." Naruto said, looking at his son. "Aunt Sakura told me about your past with Uncle Sasuke." Boruto said, looking at the floor. "I'm so sorry dad." Boruto said, tearing up. He ran to his dad and hugged him tight. Naruto hugged his son, he held back the tears. "Is there anyway you can bring your sister here? I miss her so much." Naruto asked. "Of course, I'll be right back!" Boruto said, running out the door.
Boruto returned shortly with Himawara and Naruto picked her up and hugged her tight. "Daddy! Where have you been?" Himawara cried. "I've just been very busy baby, but I haven't stopped thinking about you for a second!" Naruto said, setting her down. Shikmaru walked in with some tea and cookies for the kids. Naruto began shaking, he wasn't feeling very well. His vision was starting to blur. "Boruto, take Himawara in the other room for a minute." Naruto said. "Okay..." Boruto said, concerned. Naruto's vision began to blur and he realized how long it had been since he ate anything. "Shikamaru..." Naruto began. Boruto walked back out into his office and looked at his father. "Dad, you don't look so good." Boruto said. Naruto closed his eyes and an eagle flashed before him and he sprung his eyes wide open. Naruto gripped the sides of his desk to steady himself. "Sasuke..." he whispered and he passed out, hitting his head off of the desk. "Dad!" Boruto screamed.
Sasuke was sitting in his cabin, just listening to the sounds of the woods outside. He was sitting in the dark, in a daze. He hadn't seen or spoken to Naruto in over a month and his heart broke more every single day. He couldn't bring himself to try contacting him, he knew that Naruto would be dealing with so much more now that the secret was out. He missed Naruto so much. Sasuke thought back to his first "real" kiss with Naruto./span/p
"Look at me now Sasuke! I'm the Hokage. You said I couldn't do it! Now look at me." Naruto smiled wide. Sasuke smirked and looked at him. Naruto leaned against the wooden pole in the field where it had all began and sighed, he couldn't believe it, for once. "Let's do this already." Sasuke said. They were going to spar for old times sake. They battled for hours, finally Sasuke had Naruto pinned against a tree. They were both panting heavily and they looked into each others eyes. Sasuke put his forehead against Naruto's, both of their hearts were racing. They both leaned in slowly and pressed their lips together, they both relaxed and Naruto fell into Sasuke's arms. They broke away and Sasuke took Naruto's face in his hands. "I can't live this lie anymore." Sasuke said. "It took us both long enough..." Naruto whispered.
Sasuke wiped a single tear from his eye and looked out the window, the wind picked up and shook the trees outside. Sasuke rushed outside. The birds were flying fast towards Konoha. Sasuke knew that something was wrong. "Naruto..." he whispered.
