Guess who's back..Back again! Honestly I wanted to post this in time for father's day but I decided that sleeping was more important,Happy reading ^.^

It's been two days after the chunin exams preliminary round,Boruto,Sarada & Mitsuki sat under a tree with their heads bowed to the ground as an angry Sasuke standing with his arms folded."You three! now about our 'talk'"

*gulp*

"What were you guys thinking! This is not a field trip...you could've gotten yourself hurt or worse killed out there! this is a serious mission. God knows how much you messed up this time line...I'm getting a headache from there mere thought of it. you know I ought to punish the three of you right now!"

Sarada bit her lips to hold her laughter and her team mates quietly snickered."You know papa, I have to say..." She grabbed onto right arm and pressed her face against his cheek. "You sure are adorable as a kid! that photo of you, mama and lord hokage when you were genin doesn't do any justice at all." Sasuke's red face betrayed the annoyed glare he was shooting at his daughter, he shrugged her arm off. "If you weren't my daughter I would think you're flirting with me, cut that out Sarada."

Mitsuki and Boruto giggled then grimaced at the deadly killing intent that the Uchiha male was sending them.

Sarada continued, "It's really hard to feel bad when a twelve year old you is scolding us, come on we're literally the same age right now! but I don't understand what happened back there, We were so sure that other Sasuke got vaporised."

"Hn, no that wasn't the case, all that did was shrink him down to the size of a bug and I had to take him back to the lab to restore him back to normal size and then travel back here,stash his body in a hollow tree trunk, where he'll be unconscious for about 24 hours."

Mitsuki scratched his head and grinned sheepishly,"So uh...in a way you had to clean up our mess and all of that travelling means that your visual prowess is..."

The ends of Sasuke's lips etched into a frown."That's correct at the moment I am unable to use it." Boruto hung his head down in shame, it's all his fault this happened. Sasuke continued,"Look don't worry about it. that's where the three of you come in."

"The three of us?" they asked in unison. "Of course mark tomorrow as the first day of your training." He gave a triumphant smirk when saw the look of dismay on their faces.

"I just remembered that I have something to do so see ya!" Boruto ran off leaving the other three ninjas with a puzzled look.

Meanwhile...
Jiraiya was perched on a branch of the very tree Sasuke and co. were standing under,his eyes wide as saucers, he so engrossed over the way the dark haired kunoichi was latched onto Sasuke's arm and kept calling him 'papa'."hghhhh!" he groaned as a tiny bit of blood trickled down his nose, he didn't bother to listen in on the rest of the conversation,as a talented writer he already knew where this was going, he just didn't think that the last of Uchiha clan was that kind of guy...but hey everyone's gotta a kink!.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

Naruto groaned as he lay on his bed looking up at the ceiling, the conversation between Kakashi and him irked him to no end! It's always about Sasuke! geez first Sakura and now the sensei..what did he have to do to get some recognition around here? shove a stick of his ass and dye his hair black? He closed his eyes as the conversation resurfaced.

Naruto pounded furiously on his sensei's door, The door suddenly flew open and a slightly annoyed Kakashi poked his head out,"What is it Naruto?" The blond ninja lit up."Kakashi-sensei! I gotta ask you a favour!"

Kakashi held his hand in front of the hyperactive ninja's face."Stop right there...I already know what you're going to ask so I found someone who can oversee your training for the final round."

"Hold on! Why can't you do it?" Kakashi sighed softly."I have other matters to handle,I don't have time to deal with you Naruto."

Naruto groaned and pointed his finger accusingly at the silver haired jonin,"Aha! you're going to train Sasuke aren't you?!" Kakashi closed his eyes."Now now don't complain, in fact I've found you a better teacher than me."

"Who is it?"

"It is I!"

"Hmm?" Naruto turned and glared."YOU!?...YOU CLOSET PERVERT!" Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses and muttered,"Such insolence"

Naruto was brought back to reality by a soft knock on his door, he opened it and frowned. Boruto made a peace sign."Yo!"

"What do you wan-" Boruto brushed past him and stepped into the apartment beaming in excitement,this he was seeing first hand how his father lived. He looked around the small home,all the windows were hammered , there were used ramen cups in the kitchen sink, orange clad clothes strewn all over the floor, a mouldy green couch and thick layers of dust built up on the shelves."So..living here all your life huh?" he heard from mom that his grandparents died protecting his dad when he was very young.

"All my life..." there was sadness lurking behind Naruto's cerulean eyes. Boruto bit his lips and furrowed his brows,"All you life..huh."

"Why are you here?" Boruto grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head,"I need to buy some sunflowers and then pay someone a visit."

Naruto raised his brow "Sure,It's not like I had anything better to do."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

Boruto snorted as he glanced up at the hokage's tower from the Yamanaka flower glanced at Naruto who seemed to look at the stone figures with a look of longing and admiration."Trust me Naruto, being hokage isn't that great 'tteba-" Naruto's left fist connected to jaw sending flying and breaking two plant pots.

"Shut your trap!" Naruto glowered and grabbed him by the neck,"I bet a person like you never had to hard a day in your life! the best clothes and latest of everything,A prodigy...well it wasn't like that for me! Up to now everything I've earned was from sheer determination and hard work! You saw it for yourself in my house, the windows are hammered shut for a reason, it's for protection from the people in the village, the loathe me and the look at me with contempt in their eyes...That's why I will become hokage, That way people will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody!"

Boruto gritted his teeth and shook with rage as he took all of the blond ninja's blabbering, he slapped Naruto's arm away and shoved him roughly against the wall,"Shut up! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP! THOSE WHO BECOME HOKAGE SHOULDN'T HAVE A FAMILY TO GO HOME TO...because all they do is forget to be part of the most important things in life like birthdays,anniversaries and even their son's graduation at the academy for god sakes...would it hurt to come home once in a while dad?"

Naruto's gaze softened as Ino came bolting in the room,"What can I do for you Naruto and-! Why are you here with a clone?"

Boruto frowned "I'm not a shadow clone! the names Boruto and I'd like some sunflowers,I'm visiting a friend." Naruto nodded vigorously, "Right! he's my double hanger.",Boruto and Ino smacked their foreheads.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

They wandered through the seemingly endless halls of the Hyuga complex, If Naruto didn't know better it seemed like Boruto knew the place at the back of his hand despite claiming that this was his first time, He abruptly stopped making the blond ninja to bump into him,"H-hey wise guy!"

"This is the room." Boruto slowly slid open the door and entered the room with Naruto in tow who gasped when he saw an unconscious Hinata resting in bed,He turned towards Boruto who was busy resting the flowers on the window sill. Hinata's room wasn't that large but it could still fit his little apartment inside, cerulean eyes landed on yellow and orange clad plush doll on the floor,"Weird..what's up with that?"

Boruto walked over to the bed and balled his hands into a fist,"Naruto..you better win against Neji.",from the stories his mom and dad would fondly tell him of his late uncle, apparently she left out the parts when he acted like a first class asshole! after peeking through a crack in the wall he witnessed the entire preliminary round and that battle with Neji and his mom left behind a bittersweet feeling.

"Of course I will! I swore on Hinata's blood and I never go back on my word!" Naruto looked him straight in the eye before turning to see Neji standing in the doorway with a smug look."Hm! You three almost look like a family if I didn't know any better..pathetic that's the destiny you all share." Naruto's body started to shake,"What was that you bastard?!"

"Follow me and I'll show you instead." He turned down the hallway with the two blond ninjas following closely behind. Neji entered into the dojo,Boruto's eyes widened,"Wait you want us to fight you?"

Neji firmly nodded his head and smirked,"Show me what you got, I want to see what I'm up against for the chuunin exams...that is if you're up for it".Naruto stepped forward only to be stopped by Boruto's hand,He raised his brow at the sudden action."Naruto...I'll spar with you need to find someone to train with, it's far too early to engage him."

Naruto grumbled a few incoherent words before shoving his hands into his pockets and walking off to a corner to watch. Boruto got in the familiar Hyuga stance surprising Neji,"That stance...where did yo-"

"Did we come come here to talk or to show you?" two beads of sweat trickled down the sides of Boruto's face,Before him was a ninja with the purest kekkei genkai flowing through his veins,it would be lucky if he could come out of this unscathed.

Neji scoffed at the snappy comeback and got into his stance and activated his dojustu."Very well then,shall we?" Boruto lunged towards him who smoothly blocked every punch,he raised his foot to land a kick,Neji casually slapped his foot away and within seconds was in Boruto's personal space,he slammed his palm into the blond ninja's chest,Boruto sharply gasped for air as he stumbled backwards and clasped his hands together compressing wind and transforming it into a very strong gale and sent it towards Neji almost knocking him over.

"You're trying to keep me at a distance aren't you?" Neji sneered at the blond ninja who kept sending blasts of wind at him,Two shadow clones ran up to neji and kicked him underneath the chin sending him flying upwards."Yeah! you got him!" Naruto cheered loudly from the corner,his face fell when he saw Neji's devious grin,the Hyuga prodigy placed his hands on top of the clones' heads and flicked towards the original striking his shoulder."Oh no..." Boruto cursed himself inwardly as he hit the ground on his knees gripping his shoulder."That was a close one."

Neji knitted his brow,"Hmm? I missed?" he pulled two kunais from his weapons pouch and threw them towards the shadow clones instantly dispelling them, Boruto charged towards him as his bitter words to his mother replayed,"So that's it huh?that's all there is to main branch huh?" He barely blocked the Hyuga's blow to his chin,Neji blocked his hit with his elbow,Boruto managed to kick him in shin making him lose his footing as he stumbled back the blond ninja grabbed him by the arm and slammed his palm into his chest as his back hit the floor,Neji coughed silently grateful that the hit was not powerful enough to damage any organs. The Hyuga gaped as he looked into pupil less that were once cerulean, he cocked his head to the side,"Just who are you? only those of the Hyuga clan possess the byakugan!" He was met with silence as the blond ninja stood over him with his palm aimed to attack.

"Answer me! just who in the world are you?" Neji inquired as he took Boruto's hand, the blond ninja just shrugged,"You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Come on Naruto let's get out of here."

Neji folded his arms as they made their way out of the dojo,"You know I only stopped the spar because I don't want any meaningless blood on my hands and you..Naruto was it? Once a failure,always at failure, you can't change fate is already sealed the moment that I was selected as your opponent."

Naruto turned around with a smile,"Heh...well we'll just see about that."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

As they made their way back to Naruto's apartment with groceries,Naruto turned to Boruto,"Hey you were pretty good back there even if it was for a short while." Boruto rubbed the back of head,"no big deal,we didn't even get to finish."

Naruto played with the grocery bag before speaking,"Uh..back at the flower shop..." Boruto stiffened,"Forget about what I said about the 'dad' part."

"Tell me about him,what is he like? is he a great ninja?" Boruto lowered his head,"I already mentioned that during my little outburst today,he's never at home,clumsy,tired,simple-minded and never has the time to train me,well the part about being a great ninja, I'm yet to see that part, I only hear about it through stories from my mom,my sensei or my master." Naruto shook his fist in rage,"Damn! your dad sounds like a bum!"

"haha I guess...Hey can I crash at your place for a while? you see my parents are out of the village on a mission so...uh" Naruto smiled softly "Sure it's nice once in a while to have company."
