Today I tried to convince my k-drama loving friend to watch Naruto. It didn't go very well.
Disclaimer: Do I look like Masashi Kishimoto to you?
The three finally arived at the Third Training Ground. Naruto sighed contentedly. "Reminds me of the days back with Sasuke, Sakura-chan, and Kakashi-sensei."
Boruto plopped himself onto the grassy field. "Are we doing shadow clone training again? Or are you gonna tie me to the stump until I behave, like you did last time?"
Sarada watched, smirking, as the Seventh lectured Boruto on his unprogressing training, after which the blonde sprouted a string of colorful curse words at his father. Idiot, she thought.
The Hokage finally gave up on yelling at his son. "Okay, you two, we're going to set you against each other and see what your skill levels are. Sarada, I'm especially interested in yours."
"What, just because she was born with red eyes means you like her more than your own son?" Boruto muttered, which earned him a smack across the head by Naruto. "Ow!"
Naruto ignored him and signaled for the two to take the positions. "Ready, set... GO!"
Immediately, Boruto put his hands together and formed the clone seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Sarada activated her Sharingan, but she couldn't see the difference between the five Boruto clones, which sucked.
She launched herself into the air, flinging five shuriken to their respective target. Unfortunately, almost all the Borutos dodged, except for one that disappeared with a loud pop!
The raven gritted her teeth and tried to remember the head seals for "that fire technique that Sarada didn't actually remember the name of but it seemed like it was important to the Uchiha" technique.
Snake, ram, monkey, boar, horse, tiger... seems about right. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
A giant fireball erupted out of Sarada's mouth and blasted towards the shadow clones. All the Borutos tried to shield themselves from the heat, but the clones all disappeared.
When the smoke cleared, Sarada could visibly see Boruto, charred and smoking, in the middle of a giant pit. She smirked to herself. Who's the best at techniques now, moron?
"Stop!" Naruto's voice cut into the fight. "Sarada is the victor. Now please make the Seal of Reconciliaton and try not to tear each other's heads off while doing so."
Sarada walked over to Boruto, who was still lying in the pit. "Screw you, bastard," Boruto growled, trying to get up.
The Uchiha sighed and held out her hand. After a moment of hesitation, Boruto grudgingly accepted his loss and entwined his hand with Sarada's.
The moment Boruto's hand touched hers, Sarada gasped, then tried to stifle it. It felt like a thousand currents were running up her arm and attacking her brain, leaving her unable to think straight.
Was this the feeling people felt when they were struck by love?
"You know, I'm kinda surprised," Naruto remarked to Sarada. "How'd you learn the Fireball Technique when your father isn't here to teach you it?"
Boruto snarled. "And you're not congratulating me after I perfectly executed the Kage Bunshin?"
The raven rolled her eyes. "I found it in a book," she replied. "It said something about fire techniques being the main jutsu of the Uchiha and that their 'coming of age' rite was used with the Fireball Technique."
"Does the Uzumaki clan have a 'coming of age' rite?" Boruto wondered out loud, anger momentarily forgotten.
Naruto chuckled and ruffled Boruto's hair. "I hope they don't, because you probably wouldn't pass it!"
-Epic Linebreak-
"Boruto! You're back! And you brought a girl with you, hm?" Hinata teased her son.
Both Boruto and Sarada flushed and Naruto grinned pervertedly at them.
"If you two are having kids, be sure to name one after your dear ol' dad, okay?"
"DAD!" Boruto hissed, insanely embarrased.
Hinata smiled at her husband and, noticing Sarada, embraced her. "Sarada! You've grown so tall lately!" she gushed.
"Thank you, Hinata-san," Sarada responded politely, unlike Boruto, who brushed past Hinata and ran into his house screaming "WHERE'S THE RAMEN?"
"Ramen?" Naruto's face immediately brightened up and he raced after his son.
Hinata rolled her eyes, waving a goodbye to Sarada before rushing inside and dealing with the ramen-crazed idiots.
Sorry, I can't write battle scenes very well.
Also the ending was kind of...crazy. I was hyper when I wrote it, lol.
