Stand down. We have you surrounded. We will be forced to lethal action if provoked.

The saboteur Chunin gripped his kunai, tightly, glancing around the trees. It was a time where he truly became outmatched.

"Go on, attack me. You fools can't take me on; I am a Hyuuga, and whether I liked it or not... Have the blood of the Uzumaki clan!"

Boruto could sense the chakra of at least 40 shinobi, ranging in power from fresh recruits, to Fourth Shinobi War veterans. Headbands of multiple villages were present, signalling that he was being reeled in by a coalition of his father's doing. "You've taken my lovers from me, all of you!" Boruto's eye and face began to morph, a black-ish mark growing outwardly and burning through his face like a horn.

The sound of metal being flashed from the belts and pockets of the United Ninja Forces. Shurikens, daggers, dual-bladed swords, and hand signs readied for the order to attack.

Within the rustling of leaves, the flying of weapons towards Boruto Uzumaki commenced. The Otsutsuki's curse caused Boruto's chakra reserves to fire, allowing him both dodge and counter act the men from the trees. Explosions of smoke, flames, and rubble flew about amongst the quiet night. Boruto threw out his kunais whenever safe to do, causing groans and shrieks of pain as men fell from their treetops onto the grass floor. The shouts of the men and women roared, to finally deal with the first cursed child.

Within moments, a purple-clad, orange fist barreled in from nowhere, flattening the teenager.

The shouts stopped, and the men stopped to see Lord Seventh descend downwards, wrapped in his kyuubi chakra and Sasuke's Susanoo. As fast as the battle started, it was ended by the strongest men to live.

The aura retreated, and Naruto stepped onto the field to see his son, the one who ruined the Uzumaki's name first by cheating in his official exams, to now being a fugitive on over 50 accounts of incestuous rape, lying upon the grass. After walking over to where the traitor laid, he turned over his son, whom had been pounded down onto his back. The young man was unconscious, the horn piercing the top of his skull, and the markings of the evil moon people painting the body. Looking around at him, he saw exhausted men and women, people tending to those that had been badly injured by the returning fire of daggers.

Then, looking back at his greatest mistake, he picked up the boy by his dirtied and long soiled white shirt, lifting his son up to eye level.

"It's been a long week off deciding what to do with you. I know now, Boruto. I know what I need to do."

Back at the Hokage's office...

Her vision was foggy, blurring as the light of the room began to reawaken her. She could only squint, the air being incredibly harsh. Ino rested herself up by her right elbow, rubbing her head with her left hand. She was unsure as to how long she has been out for, but it must have not been longer than an hour, based on how it was still just appeared to be truly nighttime. Attempting to take a good breath, she was instead met with putrid air that caused her to cough and gag. Unable to see, she kicked and flailed her body, until she heard a bursting sound, popping the poison bubble and dispersing the polluted environment she had been trapped in.

"That... Could've... ... Killed me... Idiot..."

Now free from her prison, she looked around, seeing no one inside of the room.

They must've left to deal with Boruto, huh?

After peering around for a while, she noticed the cloudy image was beginning to fade. "Ino... Inojin..." She stared into the cloud, seeing her son's cell, housing her son who appeared to be laying on the floor.

"I-Inojin?"

Going on her knees and crawling over to see the fading image better, she could see her son was out cold, appearing to be oozing out a dark fluid. "INOJIN!" With those last words, Ino threw her large chest outwards, only for the jutsu to finally end, ending her communication with her imprisoned son. Springing up, she hastily ran towards the exit, finding it locked from the outside.

The door jiggled, but would not budge. Peering out, she could see her old guard standing out there, nervously biting one of his nails. She banged on the door, trying to catch his attention, but to no avail. Her fingers rasped on the wood, trying to claw her way free.

"Fuck! Please! Let me out! I need to save my son! BASTARD!"

She cradled her skull with her arms, panicking. From being out cold for an hour, to nearly being introduced to toxins, to finding her son motionless on the floor, potentially bleeding out, she could feel her hair raising.

Oh god. Where has everyone gone? I can't be stuck here, I-It's been like 50 minutes, man, this can't be right. When Lady Ino wakes up, she's gonna kill me! I don't even know if that door can hold her, I-I can't stop her... She-she's... I can't punch a woman, especially one that looks like her! Man, I wish I was Sai, just to get a bit of that fat ass of hers. God, I'd rawdog her hard, give her some of that Icha Icha tactics stuff... Man, she's a baddie... Thank god she's down right now, or she could be reading my mind or something. Oh man, I really hope whatever's going on doesn't get to her kid, he's only housed, like, 10minutes north from here? What if he comes in here, and I have to fight a kid to stop him from fucking his fucking mom? That's so fucked up, I can't beat up a 14, err 15? Maybe 16? Fuck, how old are those boys now? I'm terrible at this... I-I need a bathroom break.

Both weirded out and disgusted by what she had sensed outside, Ino clutched one of her buttcheeks, creeped that her guard thought about doing those things to her, especially since he was the reason she was left unconscious. "I swear, if he did anything to me while I was out, I will personally off him." She said to herself aloud. "Well, no better time than now to break out of here. 10 minutes north... Only one place that could be."

Konoha Hospital... 3 minutes later...

"I can't believe you spared your son. I thought for once, you wouldn't be so reckless."

Sasuke said, standing with his old teammate as they watched the nurses carry Boruto's cart to his room. "I wanted to, I really, really wanted to. But, this wasn't his fault. If I was home just even once when his curse starting developing, or for his growing years in general, maybe this would have been avoided. Maybe, maybe this whole thing was my fault, Sasuke..."

Sasuke turned, perplexed at that response.

"Sometimes you're a bit too dense for being the leader of an entire nation. I might have to coup you and be the villain again if you say something dumb like that again."

Naruto laughed, enjoying the cut from seriousness for even a moment, especially when the rebuttal came from the edgiest man he knew. "You know as well as I, that I'd just beat you again." He said, chuckling as the two walked over to visit Hinata and Hanabi.

"Papa!"

Himawari shouted, running over and hugging her dad. Smiling, Naruto lifted his daughter up, bouncing her up and down before putting her back down so she could walk back towards her grandfather. "Welcome back guys. Look who's up." Sakura motioned over, showing Hanabi sitting upright.

"Hanabi, is everything alright?"

Naruto said, walking over to her bed. He stared at his sister-in-law, seeing her face expressionless, if not in a grimace. The white glaze of the Hyuuga clan's eyes blocked all emotion visible. "Auntie Hanabi won't say much papa, Miss Sakura doesn't know why." Sakura walked over, speaking quietly to Naruto and Sasuke. "Hanabi seems to be going through shock at the moment. We believe, based on her brain scans, that she was experiencing a traumatic nightmare the entirety of the time we have been nursing her. Based on what she occasionally spoke, it likely involved the abuse she was handed by Boruto."

Although it was but a whisper, Hanabi became jumpy at that name, causing her to freak and tear at her hospital gown and jiggling the wires and tubes on her body.

"No please! I can't! No more!" Sakura covered her mouth, and Himawari got up and held her aunt's palm. "Auntie, please stop! You're hurting yourself!" By the time Hanabi calmed down, her gown was mostly in shreds, causing Sakura to rush over and lift the blanket over the exposed breasts and torso.

"I'm so so so so SO sorry!" Hanabi, now responsive, looked over to see her brother-in-law. "N-Naruto?" Hanabi's lower, swollen lip began to quiver, her eyes showing a look of either concern, fear, or both. "N-Naru... Nooo..."

Suddenly, motion could be heard from Hinata's bed. "Naru... Naru..." The hokage dashed his sight towards the wincing body of his wife, and ran over to her bed. "Na... Naru... Naruto..." Hinata's eyelids began to flicker, mixed in with pained winces and groans. Naruto clutched his wife's hands with his. "Baby, babe yes it's me! It's Naruto!" Himawari began to cry, hearing her mother's (faint) voice for the first time in over a month.

"Naruto... Naruto...Naru..."
