A Father's Concern
1. The Father-Son Secret Technique
Uzumaki Boruto seated himself anxiously in the hokage's room, spinning a few times on his father's chair, looking through the window, feeling guilty for the pranks he did on the hokages monument. Despite of his childish action, his father still agreed on helping him cleaning after his mess, though uncle Iruka and Konohamaru-sensei helped them too.
"Boruto, isn't it about time for you to go home?" Konohamaru came in. "Your mom just called worrying about you.."
"I'm going to wait for dad.." Boruto sulked, seeing it was Konohamaru who came in, not his father.
"The seventh will be out late for the 5 kage meeting, you'd better wait tomorrow.." Konohamaru explained.
"Then tomorrow he'll be busy doing something else too and I'll be told to wait for another tomorrow-ttebasa.." Boruto replied.
Konohamaru sighed, it's not like he didn't understand his feelings. Konohamaru acted like him when he was little, doing pranks with Naruto to gain his grandfather's attention. Though Boruto got it harder, in his case, it was his father being the hokage, his closest buddy that suddenly had to be father of the villagers.
"So, what are you planning for the seventh by waiting here?" Konohamaru sighed. "Doing another pranks?"
"Nooo!" Boruto whined. "I wanted to apologise.."
"Fine, we'll wait for him, but tell your mother first.." Konohamaru smiled and ruffled the younger's head.
"Sensei.. I wanted to do something for dad.." Boruto said while eating his ramen.
"Stop all your pranks and he'll be happy than ever.." Konohamaru replied.
"If I did stop, then I'll really have to share dad with others, I don't want that.." Boruto pouted.
Konohamaru could relate to that feelings since he had done the same thing in the past, but he knew that didn't end up with a the best solution. And doing such things would only end up being labeled as a bad boy in the village.
"Hey, I have something in mind if you want to shock him though.." Konohamaru smirked, after having that idea popped out in his head.
"Urghh.. it's finally finished.." Naruto stretched out his arms, walking side by side with Shikamaru.
"It would've been sooner if you weren't late.." Shikamaru sulked, with hundreds of text messages from Tenmari waiting on his phone.
"Can't help it-ttebayo.." Naruto sighed with a smile. "Being a hokage means less spending time with the kids, no wonder why Boruto lashed out this noon.."
Naruto did feel guilty for neglecting the kids, Himawari who was more mature than his brother could maybe deal with that. But Boruto couldn't accept it, since he was closer than ever with his father, having less time with his father really sucks for him. Every time he came home late, the kids would be sleeping already, and he was still grateful having his wife waited for him every night, although Naruto told her that she could just go to sleep. Hinata always made sure that Naruto wouldn't have to go home into a dark empty home again, so she always stayed up waiting for him.
He could only see the kids in the morning, when it was all hectic, Boruto waking up late, and him too. Hinata and Himawari who always had to go waking those two up and it took hours for them to wake up. Sometimes Naruto would pull Hinata in bed and snuggled with her, though he ended up with a jyuuken marks from his wife to wake him up. But when it comes to his little sunflower, they would end up going back to sleep together and Hinata would have to wake them both in the end.
"Boruto, I heard that you waited for me.." Naruto opened the door and in his room, his son awaits.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Boruto managed to make 6 bunshins. Something that he could excel from his father's training.
"Wait.. we can't practice in the office.."
"Harem no justu!"
"Wha..."
And Boruto with his bunshins transformed themselves into the similar naked women he had seen in the past. The 'naked women' ran to him and snuggled themselves.
The hokage was left speechless, where on earth did he learn those already-sealed-techniques?! He never taught him that, Hinata would be even scarier than Sakura if he ever did teach his son those techniques. And how frightening to imagine how she would react if she saw this right now.
"Naruto-kun.." Naruto could hear the soft voice that he loved, but somehow, this time he felt chills down his spine hearing that soft voice.
"Why is there so many naked mommy?" Himawari asked with her innocent voice.
"Hi... Hinata... why are you..."
"Mom look! I managed succeeding my henge no jutsu!" Boruto transformed back to himself and ran back to her mother.
"I wanted to pick up Boruto.." Hinata answered with a smile that Naruto feared, and with the activated byakugan.
The next day, the kids were happy because they got themselves their father in bed for 3 whole days, even though their father couldn't leave the bed, the kids could still play with him. Of course it was thanks to their mother that the hokage was on a sick leave, REALLY SICK. Sakura managed to keep the wound minor, but she refused to completely heal him, defending on Hinata.
And Konohamaru was still hiding himself, afraid of his turns experiencing the true power of byakugan.
2. Papa was Jealous?
"Sasuke-kun!"
"Papa!"
Sasuke went back home, welcomed by the warm greetings from his loving wife and adorable princess. Everytime he went home, it made him wanted to stop his journey and settled in their warm home. He smiled, seeing how his princess had grown taller than the last time he saw her.
"Have you eaten?" Sakura asked, trying to hold herself back from jumping to her husband. But Sasuke knew how she longed for him, and he did feel the same during his journey. Affectionally he embraced his wife and left some soft pecked on her forehead, then lifted up his little princess.
"Papa, there's a lot I want to tell you.." Sarada giggled, being too happy seeing the rare sight of her father.
"Why don't both of you take a bath together, it's been a while since you bathe together.." Sakura suggested.
"Yeah, why not.." Sasuke smiled.
"No way, mama! I'm not a kid anymore, I don't want to bathe with papa!" Sarada refused.
Sasuke felt like his soul left him. Being rejected by his little princess, those long journeys must've been the cause of this sudden distant. Perhaps it was about time for him to stop his journey?!
"But papa can dry my hair after I take a bath, okay?" Sarada kissed her father's cheek.
And that brought Sasuke back to life again.
Sakura just shook her head, seeing the never expected Sasuke to be a such a spoiling daddy.
"So papa.. I got the best score at shuriken throwing today.." Sarada proudly bragged.
"She sure takes after you.." Sakura smiled to her husband.
"But then Boruto also got the best score!" Sarada added, sulking, but Sasuke could see the blushing cheeks on his little princess's cheeks. Could the heat from the bath cause that?
"Then that idiot Boruto.."
Sasuke swore he could hear that 'Boruto' name was mentioned quite often when he dried her hair.
"And then Boruto.."
Again during dinner..
"Boruto is.."
Again when they were at the living room.
"Boruto and I.."
And when she was about to sleep.
"Sasuke, you're back?" Naruto was surprised to find his friend back at the village, coming into his room. "What brings you here?"
"Hey, dobekage.." Sasuke activated both his sharingan and rinnegan.
"Wa.. wait.. What's wrong?!" Naruto was startled.
"I was prepared for her having a boyfriend later, but not this soon, especially not with YOUR son!" Sasuke took out his sword.
"Sa.. sasuke!" Naruto stood up.
"Shall we have another death battle?"
3. Daddy's Sunflower
"They were nothing but classmates.." Sakura laughed, treating both of her teammates' wounds after another battle.
"This bastard should learn to take it easy, man.." Naruto complained, not only did he got beaten up, he was also forced to neglect his works. He had to face another overnight duties.
"You'll know it when you get your turn.." Sasuke was still pissed.
"Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is something usual at their age, I wouldn't overreact like you did.." Naruto replied.
"There.. you both may go now.." Sakura had just finished.
Sasuke and Naruto got up, Sasuke was made to help Naruto with his papers since Sasuke disturbed him when he was in the middle of it. They were on their way back to the hokage's office when they met Naruto's little sunflower. He ran to his fairy, but..
"Thank you for the flowers, Inojin-niichan.." Himawari smiled.
"Anything for you, my pretty flower.." Inojin smiled.
"Inojin-kun is a sweet boy, isn't he.." Hinata also smiled.
"Of course, he's my son after all.." Ino laughed.
"But, I'm only sweet to Himawari-chan.." Inojin took out Himawari's hand and kissed them.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY HIMAWARI YOU..."
Sasuke managed to held back the angered-nearly-commiting-crime-hokage raging beside him. Hinata, Ino and the kids were all startled with his raging voice.
"Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun?" Hinata called.
"Daddy and uncle Sasuke?"
Naruto tried to calm his anger and once Sasuke let him of, he ran to them. Grabbing Himawari's hand that was just kissed by Inojin and wiped it with his shirt. Then he glared at Inojin who still looked calm.
"You're Sai's kid, aren't you?" Naruto asked with an interrogating voice. "Don't go near my daughter!"
"Is that an order?" Inojin asked.
"Yes it is!"
"I feel bad for Himawari-chan, having a father who misused his authority due to the personal issues.." Inojin turned to Himawari.
Himawari stared at her father, with a disbelief eyes, alongside with her mother who looked disappointed.
"It's a joke-ttebayo!" Naruto forced a bitter laugh.
"I'm glad then, because I think that I have to get along with my future father in law.." Inojin smiled. The annoying smile he got from his father.
"Sai, you've been summoned by the seventh.."
Sai who had just returned from his mission then went to see the hokage.
That night, Sai left the room with a bruise on his cheek. Let's not forget the two fathers who still had their bruise getting drunk in Ichiraku ramen. Shouting how their daughters should just be kept inside the house, how the guys around her were all wolves. Teuichi the owner also joined them, relating to his grand daughter's case.
