My keyboard just broke and I'm having a really tough time writing this. Also, Shikadai's back!
Disclaimer: You can go check my house. You won't find Naruto.
The next day, Sarada approached Boruto at the academy.
"Hey," she said, trying not to feel embarrassed. "Sorry about yesterday. You know, with my mom and all that?"
Thankfully, Boruto brushed it off. "It's fine," he assured Sarada. "My mom gets like that sometimes too."
Sarada was about to open her mouth and say more, but she suddenly heard an annoying, female voice call out, "Boruto!"
The Uchiha whirled around and saw Shikadai standing there, one hand on her hip, a smirk on her face. "I wasn't calling to you, Red-Eyes. Learn to hear," Shikadai sneered.
"Bastard!" Sarada snarled. "Will you ever leave Boruto alone? Or are you stuck to him like mold on a piece of bread?"
The Nara's eyes narrowed. "Do not call your future Hokage mold!"
"I'm the one who's going to become Hokage!" Sarada formed the Kage Bunshin seal and multiple Saradas popped up around her.
Boruto, who was desperately trying to stop the two rivals, widened his eyes. "Since when did you know how to do Kage Bunshin?" he spluttered/
Sarada ignored him and leaped at Shikadai, but for some reason she couldn't move.
Crap!
Shikadai had already caught Sarada in her trap.
"Say goodbye to your pitiful life, loser!" Shikadai growled, then prepared her final attack. "Kage Nui no Jut- Hey!"
Sarada stared in shock, for Boruto had leaped in front of Sarada, preventing Shikadai from attacking her.
He was protecting her.
Sarada's insides seemed to warm up, and a bubbly sensation filled her gut. But she shoved the blonde away. "I can protect myself, thanks," she spat.
Boruto glared back. "You would have gotten killed if it weren't for me! Besides, I was trying to stop the fight!"
Shikadai furiously clawed at Boruto. "Let me at her!" she screamed.
Suddenly a shadow fell over the fighting Genin as the teacher stepped in, followed by the Hokage and Shikadai's father.
"What is going on here?" Shikamaru eyed the three students.
"Um..." Sarada was practically sweating. "We were just..."
I think the Academy teacher is Shino, but I'm not sure, so I just left it as "the teacher".
Update soon!
