A Blast to the Past

Chapter 1: Tempting Fate

It's been a few months since the battle against Momoshinki and the hidden village of Konohagakure was in a buzz of activity, especially a certain team of genin who had just return from a C-Rank mission, It was Team Konohamaru, which consisdted on Uzumaki Boruto, Uchiha Sarada and Mitsuki who were now in the Hokage's office with their sensei Sarutobi Konohamaru to give a report to the seventh Hokage...who just happened to be Uzumaki Naruto.

Boruto's dad.

"So how did it go?..."Naruto asked to the genin squad.

"That mission was a piece of cake, those bandits never stood a chance..."Boruto said with a grin.

"We managed to capture all three of them hokage-sama..."Sarada said in a more polite tone.

"That's good to hear..."Naruto said in an approving way while Konohamaru gave the rest of the report.

Once they were done, they were due to leave until Naruto got Boruto's attention.

"Boruto, I would like to speak to you alone now..."Naruto said to his son.

"What did you do this time?...'Sarada whispered to her temate who shook his head,

"Nothing, I haven't pulled any pranks lately..."Boruto said honestly.

He wasn't lying, with what happened with Momoshinki and the rescue of the damiyo's son Tentou, along with trying to catch up with his training, he didn't really have either the time or energy for a lot of mischief...or at least the kind he was used to pulling. Soon his team left, leaving Boruto alone with his father and his boss.

"What did I do?..."Boruto asked.

"Nothing...that I know of that is...I just needed to talk to you about something...'Naruto said to his only son while Hinata came into the room.

"Hello Boruto..."Hinata smiled to her boy.

"What are you doing here mom?..."Boruto asked in confusion, surprised that his mother had showed up.

"That's part of what we need to talk to you about..."Naruto said.

"So what's up?..."Boruto asked.

"Your father has just received an urgent correspondent from Gaara-sama, he said that his ninja's had discovered something strange near his village and he wants the both of us to go and help investigate...'Hinata explained, shocking her son in the process.

He knew the kazegake since he was a child, he was one of his dad's closest friends and Shikadai's uncle as well. As far as he knew, Gaara wasn't usually the one to request stuff like that...unless he might absolutely have to but Boruto was confused by something.

"What's wrong and why does he need you and mom?..."Boruto asked not getting the last part. He could somewhat see him asking his dad since he was a fellow kage and friends but why did he need mom as well?

"So far, we're not sure what it is but he said the reason he needs us is because the object he discovered has the symbol of the Ōtsutsuki clan on it..."Hinata explained and Boruto remained silent about that.

He suddenly had a bad flashback about the invasion and his battle with Momoshinki and Kinshinki and what happened when he was defeated. He still had that seal on his palm and his unique eye dojutsu hasn't activated since then. He thought he was done dealing with them but...

"You mean-...'Boruto started.

"As I said, we don't know what it is yet but the only reason Gaara-sama wants us there is for some information given that we ourselves have experience with them..."Hinata said, recalling the incidents with Toneri and Kaguya.

'Anyway, we just wanted to let you know that we will be leaving today, it's just for a few days just to check it out but then we'll be back home..."Naruto explained to his son who nodded.

He didn't really like the idea that both his mom and dad would be out of the village for a few days. It's only been a while since his dad started coming home earlier and even spending more time in his training but he knew that if it involved that creepy clan, then he had to stay strong.

"Okay, I get it...so what do you need from me?..."Boruto asked, hoping they would want him to come as well.

"We have to leave right now if we want to make it there by tomorrow...We just wanted to let you know that you and your sister will be staying with your grandfather until we get back.."Naruto said to his son who now looked upset.

'What? But dad, I'm a ninja now! I don't need a babysitter!..."Boruto shouted, not liking this at all.

He was 13 now and he was a certified genin for pete's sake! He even saved the daimyo's son from some crazy, flesh eating freaks just a couple of weeks ago and they were still treating him like he was a little kid!

"Oh Boruto, your grandfather isn't babysitting you...you're going to be helping him babysit your sister Himawari..."Hinata reassured.

"Consider it a mission..."Naruto said with a grin while Boruto's left eye twitched.

"That's still the same..."Boruto said unhappily.

"Boruto, you're father and I won't be home for three days at the minimum, perhaps you can believe you can take care of yourself but Himawari is still a child..."HInata said to her boy.

"But-..."He started but was cut off.

"No buts, your grandfather has already been informed on the arrangements and you both are expected to be there ASAP...Think of it this way, it will be like a little vacation..."Naruto said and Boruto frowned more at that.

"A vacation? Yeah right..."He thought sarcastically before sighing.

It wasn't that he didn't like his grandpa Hiashi. He loved him and he was as nice as far as grandfather's go but...

"I just can't deal with that place..."He thought with a shudder as he knew what would happen the second he arrived to that compound.

His grandfather would come up to him and nearly suffocate him and Himawari in a hug, followed by his aunt doing the exact same thing. He knew he would be subjected to an endless assault of hugs, kisses and cuddles from his maternal family. Himawari didn't mind it but that was because she was Himawari, but he was too old for all that stuff. He was too old for a babysitter but knew there was no way around this, both his dad and his mother made it clear and when your dad was your boss and your mom had access to that scary Byakugan of hers, so he knew he had to back down.

"Your sister is currently having a play date with her friend Rika, I want you to go pick her up and then go straight to your grandfather, alright..."Hinata told her son who reluctantly nodded.

"This stinks..."He thought bitterly.

He had hoped that after the incident with Momoshinki and his rescuing Tentou, his folks would stop trying to baby him but they still didn't trust him enough to leave him home alone. While his mom and dad got to go uncover some cool mystery in Sunagakure, he was going to be stuck with his little sister and being bored to death with no missions, no action and no excitement.

Could it get any worse?

Elsewhere

Uchiha Sarada was passing through the village plaza on her way home. However she suddenly had a craving for Yakisoba bun and decided to make a quick stop before heading home. After a hard two day mission, this was the kind of pick me up that she preferred.

"Hey Sarada..."Chocho came by, munching on her potato chips.

"Hello Chocho, how are you?..."Sarada said after paying for her snack.

"Ugh... starving, my folks just made me take part in some Ino-Shika-Cho training and I just managed to survive..."ChoCho complained as she took about 20 buns from the stands before paying for them..."And you?..."She asked her friend.

"Just got back from a mission, me, Boruto and Mitsuki managed to capture some bandits who were causing some trouble outside the village, nothing we couldn't handle..."Sarada said as the two girls sat at a table.

"You got that right, we're talking about the next Hokage and her strong teammates, so I would be surprised if it went another way..."ChoCho said as she scared down another Yakisoba bun.

Sarada smiled upon hearing that. Despite their differences, Chocho was her best friend and she never once doubts that someday she'll be able to achieve her dream.

To become Hokage, much like the seventh.

The two friends continued to eat and chat, with Sarada giving more details about the mission she had just went on and Chocho talking about anything other than her training.

"So how's things with your dad lately?...'Chocho asked after swallowing her 12th bun.

"Things have been great, it's been nice having him home..."Sarada said honestly.

"I can imagine. ..with a dad that cool and handsome..."ChoCho commented, almost showing her parental complex again.

"Chocho!..."Sarada scolded but her friend ignored it.

"So any cool new secret Uchiha clan techniques he's been teaching you?..."ChoCho asked but Sarada shook her head.

"He's been mostly helping with my sharingan but that's it so far, he's says that if I keep training, I may be able to completely master it soon..."Sarada said optimistically while on the inside, she frowned.

It's been months since her dad had returned home to stay and Sarada had been overjoyed that she finally had him back. However outside of training, her father didn't speak much, especially when she asked him stuff about his past. She had asked him stuff about how he and mom had met and fell in love and she also asked stuff about his friendship with the Hokage and all she got were vague answers like "we were all on team 7 together" but not much else.

"I don't understand, why does it feel like papa is still hiding something from me?..."Sarada thought depressingly.

She had hoped that once her dad came back, the time for family secrets would have been over. However, it still feels like she was missing some pieces to a puzzle known as her father... She wanted to know more about her father but whenever she tried to pry, he would give a very vague answer or try to change the subject, much like her mother had done while she was going up and would ask about where he was. That mad her upset and she wanted to know more.

She wanted to know more about her father, about who he was and how he grew up, was that really so much to ask?

"I'll ask him again once I get home, no matter how you look at it...I want to know more about papa..."Sarada mentally resolved.

One way or the other, she would learn about her father's past...she knew that she would.

Boruto had just picked up his little sister and now was on his way to spend three days or more trapped at the Hyuuga compound where he was certain he was going to die of boredom while his mom and dad were at Suna. He had told Himawari and just as he predicted, she smiled and was actually excited about this.

"Alright...sleepover with grandpa and auntie..."Himawari said happily.

"Does she have to say it that loudly?..."Boruto thought with a cringe but was grateful no one he knew heard that.

It was getting late and he knew that the sun was beginning to set and he had to get Himawari to the compound before nightfall or his mom would find out and he would get an earful for it. He knew that there was no two ways about it, his grandpa was already waiting for them and he had to suck it up and help him watch Himawari, even though he knew he was just going to be babysat just like her. It sucked but what sucked me the most was that his dad and his mom were going to be gone for a while. He actually had been looking forward to asking his dad to come watch him train once he got back but then this happened...he and mom weren't even going to be in the village at all as they tried to help Gaara out. They could have at least taken him with him, he had been in that fight against Momoshinki and he probably could have helped out too but instead he chose to leave him behind.

It was so unfair.

He was a ninja and a very skilled one, he had already been on a lot of missions outside the village be put they didn't even trust him to be home alone at least once. He knew that at his age, his dad had been going on lots of wild missions and that he had been living alone at the time as well. Sure, he knew that the life of an orphan wasn't a nice one and that he had learned to consider himself lucky that he still had his folks in his life, but his dad, despite being a bit of a klutz, seemed to have handled that and managed to become a strong and amazing fighter.

Boruto had learned to let go of his old anger from the fact that his dad was barely around, but he still wanted to surpass him. He wanted to become a strong and amazing ninja like his mentor Sasuke...but despite how strong he got, his dad still seemed to see him a just a kid.

"When are they gonna stop treating me like I'm a kid..."He muttered quietly.

"What was that big brother?..."Himawari asked him.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing..."He answered with a plastered smile on his face.

"Are you certain? You seem to be rather melancholy..."Mitsuki said, startling the two siblings in the process.

"Ah! Mitsuki! I told you to quit doing that..."Boruto said in annoyance.

"Hello Mitsuki-kun..."Himawari greeted with a big smile.

"Hello Himawari-chan, it's been a while..."He said to the young girl.

"What brings you here Mitsuki?..."Boruto asked his teammate.

"I had to pick up some things for dinner...but where are you two headed?...Mitsuki asked, Boruto was about to answer but Himawari beat him to it.

"Mommy and daddy had to go and visit Gaara -sama and that means me and Boruto are going to stay with grandpa tonight..."Himawari said happily while Boruto shook his head.

"I see..."Mitsuki said in his usual way while Boruto only looked annoyed.

"Whatever, let's get going Hima..."Boruto muttered as he was about to pull his sister away.

Oh no!..."Himawari shouted in dismay, startling the two boys in the process.

"What's wrong?..."Boruto asked in concern.

"I forgot to get Pan-chan..."Himawari said, causing her brother to almost face fault.

"Your toy panda?..."Boruto muttered, unable to believe she reacted like this.

"We have to go get him..."Himawari insisted.

"Himawari, it's getting late and grandpa is expecting us..."Boruto pointed out but Himawari wouldn't budge.

"You know that I can't sleep without him big brother..."Himawari insisted.

Boruto, remembering the last argument they had over the toy panda and how it ended, gulped and decided to give in. If they were fast they might be able to get that damn toy and go quick enough.

"Oh...alright...but we have to be quick okay..."Boruto said in a defeated tone while Himawari smiled.

Soon the siblings plus Mitsuki left for the Uzumaki residence but known to them, a certain someone had been keeping an eye on them from the shadows, or at least on a certain little dark haired girl who was blissfully unaware of this.

At the Uzumaki residence

The trio had just arrived and Boruto had unlocked the door with his spare house key. Once opened, Himawari practically bolted in and was already at the stairs.

"Hurry up and get it, we gotta go now..."He called to his sister who was already up the stairs.

"Okay..."Her cheerful voice said before she was finally out of sight.

"Your sister is very fond of that toy panda isn't she..."Mitsuki commented.

"You have no idea..."He said and he recalled his dad's inauguration, a memory which would always haunt him but reminded him of one crucial survival rule.

Never upset Himawari.

"Anyway Mitsuki, why did you come here with us anyway?..."Boruto asked in confusion to his teammate.

Didn't he say that he had to pick up some things for dinner?

"Should I not have come?..."Mitsuki asked, blinking in confusion.

Boruto blinked but let it go. While he liked Mitsuki and considered him one of his closest friends, it was something hard to keep up with him. Anyway, they mostly just stood there waiting for Himawari to come back so they could leave. However, after about 5 minutes, there were still no signs of the little Uzumaki.

"Hey Hima! Come on!..."Boruto shouted but received no response.

He suddenly got a bad feeling about this.

"Himawari. .."Boruto called out but still no answer...

OK, kw he was really worried.

"Somethings not right here..."Boruto said as he immediately ran up the stairs with Mitsuki right behind him. Once he managed to make it to her room, they saw that Himawari wasn't there at all and her Pan-chan was lying on the floor and they noticed that the window was open as well.

"Himawari! Where are you?..."Boruto exclaimed as he picked up his sisters toy.

"Boruto...I believe we are dealing with an abduction here..."Mitsuki said in a matter of fact tone, making the blonde boy look more scared.

"Oh no! We gotta find her, they couldn't have gotten far yet ..."Boruto said as he watched Mitsuki summoned one of his snakes with the hidden shadow snake hands technique.

"You are right, hand me something with Himawari-chan scent on it, we might be able to track them..."Mitsuki ordered.

Boruto immediately handed him Pan-chan and Mitsuki ' s snake went up to him and suddenly Mitsuki nodded, as if it had whispered something to him. Suddenly the snake immediately went out the window.

"We got the scent, come on now..."Mitsuki said as both he and Boruto jumped out the window as they followed the summon. All the while Boruto held onto the toy panda and tried to stay calm.

"Don't worry Hima...big brother is coming..." Boruto thought in determination as he and Mitsuki kept running.

He was going to go save his little sister and make sure the kidnapper got what's coming to them.
