"Here"
Hanabi placed a plate full of dango on the ground, she picked one up and handed it to him.
Boruto grabbed the stick containing Dango and stuffed it inside his mouth.
"Mm~"
The sweet flavour of the Dango entered his mouth, the sweetness was heavenly.
"Do you like it?"
Hanabi asked as she ate one, Boruto nodded to her, and a few moments later, the plate was emptied by both of them.
*Burp*
"Ha~"
Boruto had a look of satisfaction on his face, Hanabi also enjoyed the small meal with Boruto.
"Wanna spar?"
"Nah"
Boruto rejected the offer, he wasn't in the mood right now.
"Hey, big sis...can I ask a question?"
"Why ofc you can"
"Can you teach me a jutsu...like a specific one"
Hanabi looked at Boruto with a serious face, the latter just shrugged his shoulders.
"It's just an E-Rank one"
"Oh!, is it the clone Jutsu?"
"The body flicker"
Hanabi supported her chin with her palm as she pondered, meanwhile Boruto kept quiet and waited for her response.
'It's just an E-Rank...there's no harm in teaching him that...right?'
"....ok, I'll teach you but, there's a condition"
"Whatever you say"
"You mustn't tell your mom that I taught you this"
Boruto hastily nodded, Hanabi back away quite a bit before standing still.
"So to perform this jutsu you don't need any hand signs, instead you need to vitalize your body by circulating chakra through your body at an accelerated pace"
Boruto carefully listened to every word she said, Hanabi nodded before taking a deep breath.
"Now watch"
Hanabi said before her body completely disappeared from Boruto's sight.
His instincts screamed to move his body, but he suppressed that feeling and sat there without making a single movement.
Hanabi appeared behind him in an instant, he looked back and gazed at Hanabi.
"Now, your turn"
Boruto nodded at her words, he quickly found a spot and stood there.
'It's not that hard from what I saw'
Boruto cleared everything from his mind before he started to vitalize his body.
*Zooom*
In an instant Boruto was mid-air infront of Hanabi, his right leg was already aimed at her head.
"Nice"
Hanabi muttered with a smirk before catching his leg.
'Of course, what was I even expecting'
Boruto internally rolled his eyes, Hanabi loosened her grip, He landed on the ground and dusted his clothes.
"I didn't expect you to learn it on your first try, but you're my cousin. I wouldn't expect less"
'What're you even saying?'
"Let's go inside... it's time for breakfast"
They both entered the dining hall, Naruto was chatting with Hiashi while carrying Hima, Meanwhile, Hinata was knitting a scarf.
"Ah Boruto, come here, I made you a scarf...try it on"
Hinata gestured him to come closer, Boruto obeyed and neared her. She wrapped the black scarf around his neck before pulling out a portable mirror.
"It looks good"
Boruto expressed his thoughts which made Hinata smile, she pulled him closer and kissed his forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me you liked scarfs Boruto, I would've also made one for you"
Hanabi pouted, Hinata looked at Boruto only to see an awkward smile present on his face.
"Sorry"
'She taught me, even if it's just an E-Rank Jutsu, it's still something that can come in handy, the least I could do is to be polite towards her'
"I'm just kidding, no need to apologize"
Hanabi waved her hands as she closed her eyes, Hinata patted his shoulder while shaking her head.
Boruto slowly looked at everyone present in the room, a unknown feeling crept up his heart.
Without him noticing, a warm smile formed on his lips, he couldn't recognize the feeling inside his heart, it was completely foreign to him.
'Man...I'm entering uncharted territory...still, It's not a bad feeling'
The day quickly went by as per usual, Currently, it was nighttime.
Boruto was sitting near the small pond, the moonlight was shining all over him, He looked at the reflection of the moon on the pond.
'That toneri guy still hasn't shown up...wait a minute, why am I even waiting for that guy...Boruto got the jougan through his bloodline, Toneri didn't give shit to him...he just tried to use him for his ideals'
Boruto thought as he closed his eyes and channelled chakra to his right eye, he slowly opened his eyes.
'Nothing...really? Perhaps my chakra reserves aren't enough?, I'll check again after having the chakra reserves of a chunin'
Boruto again closed his eyes before sitting in a lotus pose, he stabilized his breathing and completely cleared his mind before meditating.
Unknown to Boruto, a pair of two white pupil eyes were watching him through the wall.
"*Sigh*...poor kid, I think he was trying to awaken his byakugan"
*chuckle*
"That kid"
Both Hiashi and Naruto chuckled at each other.
"I told him about the byakugan when he questioned about Hinata's eyes...I didn't think he would just straight up try it"
"He's still a kid Naruto, he doesn't know what it takes to achieve it"
Naruto nodded at his words, he sipped his tea before they continued their previous conversation.

"Big sis Hinata, you know...I think Boruto might be the best shinobi in this generation"
"Oh...why do you think so?"
Hanabi flinched at her question but quickly recovered.
"*cough* Just my guts..yeah Guts"
Hanabi nodded at her own words before quickly covering herself inside a blanket.
*sigh*
'This girl'
Hinata shook her head with a sigh before she also went to sleep.
.
.
.

"Mm~"
The sunlight made Boruto awake from his slumber, he slowly opened his eyes as he stretched his arms.
'...Did I fall asleep while meditating? Am I outside?'
He touched the ground only to feel the grass between his fingers.
*Sigh*
"Young man, you need to pay attention to your sense of time"
Boruto gazed at the source of the sound, he saw Hiashi sitting near him looking over at the small pond.
"...yeah"
He lazily replied before positioning his body to sit, he gazed at the pond together with Hiashi.
Silence enveloped the air, none of the two uttered a word, they seemed to enjoy the silence.
"In all my life I've seen multiple kids more mature than they are supposed to be...there was a particular kid who could think like a Hokage when he was only 5yrs old"
"What're you getting at old man?"
"I'm saying that, you don't need to act infront of me young man, There isn't anything wrong about maturing faster"
Silence again filled the atmosphere, Hiashi patted Boruto's shoulder before walking away.
Boruto gazed at the departing figure while internally sighing, he was quite impressed by him.
'Like I could act infront of that guy'
Boruto already knew that he would figure it out, bur he didn't think it would've been this soon.
*Growl*
"I'm starving"
He muttered before standing up and heading towards the dinning room.
