The chirping of birds and sounds of waves collided woke Boruto… he looked up, finding the situation as boring as it gets.
"Here's your fill"
Boruto gazed at the source. A tall, well built man with a stray of food stood in front of him. His hand moved and grabbed the loaf of bread.
"Mr Uzumaki, we will be reaching the borderline of the fire nation tomorrow"
Boruto looked at him, bored out of his mind.
"Why are you guys accompanying us in the first place?"
Boruto knew full well that they weren't doing it out of good-will. His question got the same answer he expected.
"For your safety and well being. Mizukage-Sama STRICTLY said to protect the guests"
Boruto nodded at the man. He walked away, leaving Boruto alone in his small room. They had departed yesterday night itself.
He brushed his teeth and then proceeded to eat his fill. After finishing it, he walked out of his room and went outside.
'Cold'
He thought as the breeze ruffled against him. With a lively smile, he looked at the small group of kids gathered around near the edge.
"…Boruto"
Shikadai whispered under his breath. Slowly remembering the tragedy they had witnessed. He gritted his teeth and looked away from him.
Seeing Shikadai's actions, all of the other students snapped their head towards Boruto. What they saw was something they didn't expect… he was smiling?
"Get that ugly grin off your face"
Sarada said. Looking at Boruto in anger.
"What?… Oh, you remember yesterday?"
"You!!"
"Shut up Sarada! If it wasn't for him, we would've been dead!"
Shikadai stated, grimly looking at Sarada with dreadful eyes. Tears ran across his red cheeks.
Boruto, however, ignored the drama and enjoyed the view of the vast ocean. It's pointless to get mad at these childrens… and especially ones that have been shocked to the core like these.
"You don't understand Shikadai! He could've saved Cho-Cho from the beginning! I saw him teleporting before, why didn't he use it then, huh!?"
Shikadai's dreadful eyes then locked onto Boruto's figure, who was currently enjoying his time.
"Is that true, Boruto?"
He asked, his voice almost inaudible.
"No"
Boruto responded and placed his chin on his hand, supporting his head to stay upright. Sarada almost choked air hearing his response.
"He's lying!!"
Sarada yelled out of her lungs, ready to kill him with her kunai that pulled out from her Ninja pouch.
"Don't think too high of yourself just because you killed an already fell enemy, girl. You could barely lift my blade. What makes you think you can beat me? I had handled all of those guys which you could never take down even if you all joined forces"
His cold response made her stop in her tracks, she then looked down, noticing her trembling hands.
"T-That's not true! We could've beaten the if w-"
"He's right, Lee. We wouldn't survive that… even if we did. We won't come out unharmed, unlike him"
Inojin said, no trace of anger nor sadness over his face. He had already accepted the reality of the situation. Mourning her death was nothing more than a waste of time.
"Tell me, Boruto. How did you get so strong?"
Sarada demanded, looking at Boruto.
"Why should I?"
"Why? WHY!? Because we want to ave-"
Boruto swiftly knocked her out before she split something stupid out of her mouth. Was this girl gonna ruin his plans?
"!!"
Everyone's senses went to the extreme after witnessing that scene. Although they knew how strong he was, seeing it themselves was a different experience.
"Where's Iwabe?"
Boruto asked. Hearing his name, everyone's expression became grim.
"He can die for all I care"
Shikadai muttered. Not bothering to question his own thoughts about violence.
"It's all because of him"
He clenched his fists in anger. The stupidity that Iwabe did because of his temper lead to this situation. He hated him with every cell of his body.
Sigh.
Boruto walked away, sighing. He glanced at the gaurds and then walked past them toward his room.
'These guys are troublesome'
Boruto thought to himself. With another sigh, he began his grind inside his room.

"I'm afraid that's the farthest we can accompany you guests"
'Good for you'
The tall built man and another average looking guy said. With a nod, Boruto and the others exited from the ship and went for the railway station.
"What?"
Boruto asked Sarada, who was intently staring at him.
"…Nothing"
Sarada gazed somewhere far away, reluctant to meet eyes with Boruto.
In addition to that, Iwabe had finally showed his face, just to be glared to death.
*Intense train noise*
"There comes our ride"
With a small smile, Boruto took out the train tickets that had already been booked for them by the Hokage.
He, along with everyone else entered the train and took their respective seats.
'Can't wait to see the reaction of the Hokage… aswell as the others'"
"Is this why you asked me to do 'that'?"
Mitsuki asked, he golden eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Keep quiet for now. We'll discuss that with 'him' afterwards"
"I see. Then it shall be like that"
Mitsuki said so with his everyday smile.
