«9» SCHOOL TRIP!

[Edited]

—

Inomi panted while trying to catch her breath. She was late, very late. Curse the stilettos her mother made her wear. She  stopped at a door— immediately opening it with a twist of the knob.

"Sorry I'm late!" She sighed while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

The Yamanaka saw Iruka, Anko, and Naruto inside of the room. They looked at the girl with smiles on their faces. The Hokage scratched his head, approaching her and helping her walk.

"You look nice today, Inomi-San!" Iruka complimented her.

She sheepishly chuckled at him. "Thank you Iruka-San."

"Mama made me wear this to work for today." She informed them, and   murmured a 'thank you' to Naruto.

Anko ate her dango and smirked at her. "You sure kid? Maybe she wants you to impress some guys~"

"H-Hah?" She blurted out, as her eyes widened in surprise. She waved her hands in denial as a blush crept onto her cheeks. "It's nothing like that! She wants me to like an err.. a Professional?"

"But please, Continue on your explanation, Naruto-San!" The Hokage nodded at her. He opened his mouth, as he started to speak.

Suddenly, Iruka felt a sudden gushed of wind on his head, coming from the window.

They heard murmurs outside of the room, Boruto was weaving hand signs with a scowl on his face. Inomi went beside the Brunette and gasped at her student.

"Boruto-kun?" Iruka called out. Boruto jumped and scowled at him.

The Uzumaki hesitantly tilted his head upwards. He chuckled and stared at Inomi. She did not look happy.

"H-Hey.. Sensei.. You l-look n-nice?.." He awkwardly the Yamanaka. She cracked her knuckles with a huge smile on her face, aching to give the Blonde a lesson.

"Boruto Uzumaki.."

—

Sarada and Mitsuki looked up to the ceiling. The pale boy smiled, while the Uchiha placed her chin on her palm. She was confused for a moment.

Inomi was grumbling and crossing her arms. She wasn't clearly in the mood today.

Sumire giggled at her demeanor and blushed. "You look pretty with your new look, Sensei.." She whispered at the girl.

The Yamanaka smiled at her and nodded her head as if her statement boosted her confidence. "Thanks, Kakei-San."

Boruto was hung on the ceiling upside down, tape covered his mouth, and a tight rope tied him up. He was struggling at his position, trying to scream out loud. Sumire looked up to him with fear, Inomi looked at him with a pout.

"That's what you get for your pranks.. and being indecent." She scoffed, smiling at the sight of a red bump on his forehead.

"What's up with that?" Sarada questioned, unbothered by the Uzumaki's protests and cries. She was referring to Inomi glaring at him.

"He tried to pull a prank on the Principal yesterday.. I'm not sure about Sensei's situation." Wasabi replied, with a worried expression on her face. "They said that Boruto tried to compliment her. Her outfit, but it came out wrong."

"I assume you're wondering why there's something wrong but, it was the chosen punishment by the Head Master and your Sensei." Shino started.

He looked at the Yamanaka, who was scowling at the Uzumaki. Inomi turned to the Aburame with a bright smile.

"Women could be terrifying.." He mumbled to himself, shaking his head.

"Onto the major announcement.. It's the first time our Academy is conducting a field trip outside the village. This is really a milestone!" He proudly informed his class. Sumire started to write on the board as she swiftly dragged the chalk with perfectly good strokes.

"LAND OF WATER FIELD TRIP"

"Everyone must be extremely cautious, This is no ordinary thing that happens in the Academy!" Inomi reminded them. Loud chatters spread across the room. The girl smiled at their expressions.

"The Land of Water?"

"The ocean.. fresh seafood... grilled right on the beach.."

"This means I have to buy a swimsuit!"

"The Land of Water.. Hidden Mist Village.. Nothing good comes into mind, are we gonna be okay?" Shikadai asked in boredom. Right, The Hidden Mist was rumored to be the a Dangerous village back in the Shinobi War.

"That's all in the past, right?" Denki wondered, looking up to the Nara.

"Well, it's got nothing to do with us." Shikadai responded, resting his chin on his palm.

"You will be representing our village. Don't cause any problems!" Inomi warned her students, who looked at her with curious eyes. "If something occurs, We might as well considered this field trip— cancelled."

"This means.. no classes for a while right?" A voice asked, looking over their seatmate who nodded. "Awesome!" His friend cheered. It sent a smile on the Yamanaka's face.

"Hey guys, a field trip isn't for fun.." Denki stated at the two, who looked at him with a tiny scowl. He sweatdropped at the sight of their stares.

"Don't be such a downer!"

"You're such a buzzkill!"

"Boys are such idiots.." Sarada scoffed, looking at the three.

Shino cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention. "I'd like to select a student leader for the field trip, any volunteers?" He asked the class. They went silent, turning their heads towards nowhere.

"What? No one?"

Inomi observed the look on their faces, which made her chuckle. Some of the students glanced at her with confusion written over their faces.

"It seems like all of you are smart and geniuses! I'm proud of you all!" She knocked her own head with a grin on her face.

Shikadai arched a brow. "What do you mean?"

"It means, you cannot handle the Class, who would even want to be responsible for a class full of troublemakers?" She rhetorically asked them.

Everyone went quiet. Well— she was clearly saying the truth. She was reading them like a book.

The only Uchiha raised her hand to the air. "Sensei!" She called out, making the Yamanaka smirk. "I think Boruto would be a great leader to our Field Trip!"

"That would be a Great Idea! I think he would be great, Sensei! " Shikadai agreed as he smiled brightly.

"Boruto is cheerful and always the center of everyone's attention. He'd be perfect." Sarada added on her suggestion, standing up from her seat.

The class agreed to the Uchiha's statement, not much for the Uzumaki's liking, he continued to wiggle his body, screaming for His Sensei to disagree.

"Is that right, you all?" Shino asked the class. Inomi smiled in victory as she interrupted the Aburame, holding chalk on her hand. "Then it's settled! No more objections!"

"B-but.." Sumire started, The Yamanaka hushed her with her empty hand. "It couldn't be that bad.. right?"

"FIELD TRIP LEADER: BORUTO UZUMAKI"

The Yamanaka wrote on the Blackboard. She smirked at the sight of Boruto turning blue, but pitied his situation as she shook her head. "Let's see what would the Leader has to say about this"

She took a shuriken out of her bag and threw it directly at the ropes. He wiggled his way out and landed on the floor with his feet.

The weapon arched and returned to her hand, more like a boomerang technique.

"Hey guys! How did you get swayed so easily?! Do you think you can decide this so irresponsibly?! What about my opinion?! Respect what I want too! Besides—" Boruto trailed off as he fell into his slumber. Inomi hit his neck and caught him in her arms.

She cleared her throat and sheepishly chuckled. ".. Now onto our Classes!"

~

"CLEAN UP TIME, BOYS!" She yelled as she slouched at a random seat, rubbing her ankle with a pain expression. Shikadai, Denki, Iwabe, and Boruto were in charge of cleaning duty. Classes were already over, much to their relief.

Shikadai was sweeping the floor, a smirk crept into his face. "We're counting on you, Leader!" He taunted the Uzumaki.

Denki laughed, wiping the desks with a towel.

"You guys decide on your own!" Boruto grumbled under his breath. He aggressively erased the written words on the Blackboard. Inomi laid down on one of the desks, she yawned with a smile on her face.

"I think you're the best option, Uzumaki-San.." She mumbled. He turned to the girl with an arched brow.

He scoffed and continued on his duty. "Seriously? Or are you trying to be nice?" He asked the Yamanaka who lazily nodded at him.

"Mhm. Just like what Sarada said, You've been the center of attention... You're the only one who can make the whole class come together!" She stated, taking off her shoes and placed it on the floor.

Boruto's breathe hitched at her reply. He smiled a little as he felt a warm sensation his cheeks. He turned to everyone with determination. "T-Then I guess I have no choice! You guys better listen to me then!" He cockily yelled at them.

Shikadai crouched in front of Inomi, which made her arched a brow. She tapped on his shoulders, she saw him with a worried expression. "What are you doing, Nara-Sama?"

"Just a payback for last time, and for calming Boruto.. Besides, your feet are hurting from all that walking.." He explained as his cheeks dusted pink.

"And please, call me Shikadai."

She sheepishly smiled at him, mumbling a 'thank you' at the Nara. She slowly hopped into his back, as he gripped on her legs.

The door opened to see the Uchiha with a stern expression. She looked at the Uzumaki smiling instead of doing his job, which made her sigh. "See? You're messing around again. Don't be embarrass us like that when we're in another village!" She scolded him.

"What a drag.." Shikadai quietly complained, lifting the Yamanaka's legs up to his waist.

"Do you guys only think about messing around?" Sarada asked them, walking inside the room.

"Let's just say, they're becoming responsible from their mistakes.." Inomi quickly said with a smile on her face. "But then they go to messing around again, it's a cycle as I observed.." She awed.

She winced when the Nara squeezed her legs harshly. "OW!"

"Oh I'm sorry."

They scowled on each other.

"What's up with the two of you?" Sarada deadpanned at the two.

Shikadai and Inomi awkwardly stared the girl back before blushing at their state. The Nara shook his head from embarrassment and spoke up.

"It's nothing l-like that! She's tired... I wanted to help her from walking!" He explained towards her, Sarada nodded her head with a smirk.

"Yeah right.."

"Errr.. About the Trip.. it sounds like the Hidden Mist Village is really rural. Is there anything to do there?" Shikadai quickly asked, changing the topic.

Boruto confidently held his fist up to his face. "Don't worry, I don't know what it's like there, I'll liven things up."

"What's up with the confidence?" The Nara and Yamanaka questioned in sync, before they scowled at each other again.

"For better or worse, you made me the Leader." Boruto slyly responded, shoving his hands on his pocket.

"I wish I could see that determination of yours during regular school hours.." Sarada mumbled with a pout. Inomi laughed as she noticed her friend's expression.

Out of Nowhere, The Yuino slammed his foot down on the desk, from where he sat down. They turned to the boy who had just woken up from his deep slumber.

"Don't get too carried away. The village used to be known as the—"

"Bloody Mist Village, Right Mr. Beast.." The Yamanaka rolled her eyes, resting her arms on the Nara's neck.

Iwabe nodded at her with a frown on his face. Boruto arched an eyebrow, not getting his point.

"There's nothing good about the place." Iwabe continued, closing his eyes as he slouched from his position.

Denki looked at him in concern, fully aware of what he meant. "Iwabe.. did something happen?"

"Nothing." He shook his head, approaching the door as he slid it open. He stared at the others with a blank face.

"Anyway, if anything happens, I'll pulverize 'em. Just leave it to me.. See ya.." They bid them goodbye, walking out of the classroom.

""IF ANYTHING HAPPENS"? Are you kidding me? Weren't you listening to instruction?!" Sarada scolded the boy, who was out of sight.

"Sarada seems awfully excited." Shikadai smirked, The Yamanaka punched his head which made him cry. He rubbed his head while scowling at the girl. "What was that for?! You Troublesome Woman!"

"Keep calling me that and I bet you won't see daylight." She glared at him. "Now carry me home, I'm tired..!" She whined.

"Fine.." He muttered before picking up her heels and carried her out of the room.

Boruto smirked at him and turned to the Kaminarimon. The geek looked at him a confused expression. "They seem like a good pair, right Denki?" The Blonde wiggled his eyebrows.

"Huh? I don't know.." He stuttered out as he shivered at the sight of Boruto's mischievous smile, rubbing his hands together.

"Shut it Boruto! She isn't interested with those lovey-dovey stuff!" The Uchiha stretched his ear.

"Ow Ow OW! Hey— I'm sorry, I promise I won't tease them again!" He pleaded the girl, who stretched his ear even harder.

"OW!"

—

"INOJIN-NII!! WE'RE LEAVING NOW!" Inomi yelled out loud, she heard a crash on her Twin's room and weird shuffles. Ino rubbed her temples as she walked up to her Daughter.

The Yamanaka smile at her mother. Ino started to tie her hair up carefully. After, she wrapped Inomi's Hitai-Ate around her daughter's forehead.

"Thank you Mama!" The Yamanaka giggled. Ino blushed at her statement, as she squealed at her look. She looked sophisticated and sweet.

Inomi slightly covered her ears from her pitch.

"You look so.. pretty! I'm sure the boys would be blushing at your appearance!" She stated, hearts popping out of her eyes.

Inomi blushed at her, her eyes twitching in embarrassment.

Inojin swiftly went down the stairs with his eyes almost bulging out. "Oy, No friend of mine should touch her, Mom!"

"Don't be that overprotective Inojin! She's about to find her first true love!" Ino fought back.

The tension was getting intense between the two. Luckily, Inomi pushed them away from each other. Sai walked in with a worried expression.

"Hey.. There's no need for an argument, Let Inomi decide about that.." The Brunette assured the two. They turned against each other, huffing in annoyance.

Inomi kissed her parents' cheeks, Inojin did the same thing as her. Both of them stepped outside of their house, waving at their parents goodbye.

"We'll be back soon Mama, Papa. Stay Safe!"

"Bye Bye!"

—

Everyone was on a large boat, on their way towards the village. The Yamanaka's lips curved up into a smile, feeling the breeze of the Ocean.

She stood still in the middle, watching over her students. Metal Lee was having... quite a problem, due to his motion sickness. She approached the boy with a pill on her hand. He did not like the taste, but it did help him temporarily.

The girl wanted to join her female students on the swimming pool, as she was wearing a robe. Inojin stopped her from doing so, typical brother issues.

"Come on Ji-Nii, let me swim for awhile.." She whined from his grip, he didn't listen as he hugged her tighter. Inojin scowled at the Nara beside Boruto, before looking at his sister once more. "I don't want to see you in a bathing suit, the outside world is dangerous! Especially with boys!"

Inomi deadpanned at his statement, before successfully pushing him away. The Male Yamanaka's eye twitched when she saw her waving at him. "Whatever you say!"

Wasabi smiled at the sight of her Sensei. "Sensei! Join us!" She called out. Inomi grinned and took off her robe, revealing her long sleeve bathing suit. Her Twin fainted on the floor, his soul leaving his body.

"CANNON BALL!"

—

"How's your day, girls?" She waved at the three, who were eating bars of chocolates near the metal railings. Sarada shrugged and smiled at her.

"Great! We were just talking, how was your swim, Sensei?" The Uchiha asked, taking a bite out of her chocolate. Inomi walked between Sumire and Sarada, relaxing her arms onto the metal. She sighed at the view and smiled.

ChoCho offered a chocolate bar, which she refused. "Save it for later, this trip is going to be long. But thank you, Cho Cho."

Inomi turned to the Uchiha and smiled. "Quite cool, Anyway, weren't you talking about him? You know, Boruto being Field trip Leader?" She pointed out.

"Yeah, what about me?" A familiar Blonde asked the Black-haired girl. She scowled at the Uzumaki before pointing her bar towards him.

"Nothing, Go away!"

"Why? I wanna look at the Ocean from the deck too." He protested. Boruto walked over beside the girls. There was a moment of silence.

"Hey MiMi?" Sarada spoke up. The Yamanaka hummed as she tapped her fingers on the metal. "Are you.. somehow wanting to be a Hokage?" She asked out of nowhere.

Inomi furrowed her eyebrows, looking at the waves of the ocean before responding. "I'm quite sure that I wouldn't do that. I'm more into following my parents' footsteps, becoming an Anbu chief, and Head of The Sensory System, I'll leave the Interrogation spot for Inojin." She smiled.

"Me neither.." Boruto butted in their conversation. He looked over the girls with a confident look. "Never have been and never will be.."

"You're the only in the entire village who can't see how great Nanadaime is." Sarada retorted plainly.

"And I'm the only one who can see how lame my dad is!" He shot back with a scowl. "People say your dad was unbelievably strong, isn't that cooler?" He asked the Uchiha.

"We're not talking about him." She quickly stated, closing her eyes. "I want to become a Shinobi like Nanadaime." She added, reopening her eyes as She looked up to the sky.

Boruto rolled his eyes and turned away from the girl. "Oh yeah? if you're that determined to become a Hokage, then you should take over as Trip Leader." He groaned out. Sarada chuckled at his remark, which made his eyes drift towards her.

"I nominated you to be the leader, to prevent you from going off on your own and making trouble.. All so we can have a fun trip." She admitted with a smirk on her face.

"That's so underhanded!" He whined out as his eyes turned white.

Inomi laughed really loud, putting her hand on the Uchiha's shoulder. "G-good one! I wouldn't even thought of that!" She tried to catch her breath.

The Uzumaki gasped and dramatically pointed his finger towards the Half-and-Half haired Girl. "Sensei?! Why are you siding with her?! I thought we were friends!" He cried out. The Uzumaki scowled at the Uchiha.

"Are those tactics befitting a woman who's gonna become the Hokage?!"

Sarada held her hands to her face as she giggled. Boruto mimicked her actions before glaring at her once again. "It's not funny!"

Sarada continued to laugh. They started to chase each other around the area. ChoCho sweatdropped and continued to eat, together with Sumire.

The Yamanaka's laughter died and frowned, seeing an upcoming fog towards them. She sighed and closed her eyes. Knowing what was happening.

"We're almost near, huh?"

—

The students were inside the ship, it was still dark and gloomy. The Yamanaka watched over them as she placed both of her hands on her hips, looking like a mom.

It was a disturbing sight to see the windows tinted black. She can feel a faint chakra signature, but refused to overthink.

She looked down on the ground, cringing at the sight of her bandaged legs. She was really ignorant about the pain in her bare skin, but she stretched her legs.

"Damn it! I don't have any red cards!" The Nara cursed, catching Inomi's attention. The four were playing Shinobi Bout, it was pretty popular nowadays.

"Yes!" Denki cheered as he threw the rest of his cards on the pile of cards. "I win." He announced, the others sighed in defeat.

"Damn it! I couldn't use anything in my hands!" Boruto whined, shutting his eyes in dissapointment.

Inojin noticed his sister's stare and smirked in enthusiasm. He waved his hand at her. "Imouto, come here!"

Inomi turned to him with a confused expression. The others smiled towards her as they sent her a thumbs up. She slowly walked towards them and sat beside her brother. It was awkward for her to be with them again, but shrugged it off.

"You lost big time, Boruto." Shikadai stated with a smirk, pointing at the Uzumaki.

"Shut up! I want to win in one big sweep!" He defended himself, Well.... Shikadai was right. He still has plenty of cards on his hands.

Inomi laughed at him while sweatdropping. He could've win if he used his cards wisely and effectively.

"You should've throw some cards Boruto-Kun, in that way you'll find a way to win this. You have the potential but you thought of something... ineffectively Big." She pointed out, looking at his cards. She turned to the pile of cards and smiled at the pattern.

"There are many ways that you could've win but.. I guess Denki outsmarted you!" She said as Boruto grew an irk mark on his head. "Oy! You're not the one playing!"

Inojin glared at the Uzumaki, immediately shutting his mouth up.

"But I'm right." She smiled with her eyes closed. Boruto turned pink and shook his head.

"Errrr... Let's do one more round!" He cried out, raising his hand up to the air.

"Fine by me!"

"Sure, and you'll end up losing again, Boruto!"

"Not this time!"

"Kids.." Inomi sighed, she subconsciously stared at Iwabe, who immediately turned away with a scowl on his face. She smirked at him. "And idiots.."

—

Boruto Shikadai and Inojin sat in the corner like a stagger, a purple gloomy aura surrounding them. They were sitting right next to each other in defeat. "This is boring.."

"Neh~ Denki-kun, you're getting good at this!" Inomi complimented as she hugged him from behind. Denki laughed in embarrassment, scratching the back of his neck. She basically nuzzling her face to the crook of his neck.

"S-Sensei..!" His face turned to a bright shade of red.

She giggled mischievously.

"Oy! Inomi! Don't do that!" Inojin scolded her with a scowl. She rolled her eyes and released Denki from her hug. "Eh? Why? I think he's cute, unlike you." She responded while crossing her arms.

"But we're Twins!"

"And I look prettier than you!" She turned to the window and frowned at the sight of the Sky, still dark.

"Nothing but mist.." She muttered under her breath. Denki nodded as he turned to look at the window. "And the scenery hasn't changed at all.." He added.

"I wish we'd get there already.." Boruto mumbled, leaning his head on the wall beside him.

Inomi looked in the corner of her eyes, seeing Anko who just walked in their room.

"These guys.."

—

Inomi stood on the deck, unbothered by the Mist surrounding her. It's been a day, the dark fog hasn't dissipated.

Her teal eyes shined at the sight of a Full Moon, she smiled and hummed a calming melody.

"Isn't the moon lovely, isn't it.. Kazutori?" She blurted out with a smile on her face. Her face turned bright pink, realizing what she just said. She turned left to right, sighing in relief when she saw no one heard her.

He's dead. He's not gonna respond to that.

"The Moon is lovely, Inomi-San." A familiar voice responded. Her breath hitched and turned to see a Blue-haired boy holding up his snake.

"A-ah... Mitsuki! Didn't see you there?.." She awkwardly greeted him, bowing in courtesy. He stood right beside her and nodded at Inomi with a small smile on his face. There was a moment of silence between them, until he decided to speak.

"Kazutori Akumu, wasn't it? My parent told me about his Clan." He asked the girl. She hesitantly nodded at him before pressing her lips into a thin line. He rested his hand on the Yamanaka's head. "Tell me about him, Inomi-kun."

She stared at the Moon's reflection beneath the ocean, before looking at Mitsuki with a sad smile. "He was my teammate.. Not anymore."

"I assume I cannot keep him as a secret anymore, Can I?" She laughed. The Pale boy shook his head, silently chuckling at her.

"Well, He used to be the 4th member of our Ino-Shika-Cho Team called Team 4. He told us he mastered Genjutsu, which was incredibly amazing.." She hummed.  "I would say he surpassed the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan."

"That.. I found out he was some jerk who dragged me into his plan of Rebuilding his Clan with the use of His 'Genjutsu'. He had a special Kekkai Genkai, making illusions." She frowned at that memory, but shook her head and put on a fake smile on her face. "I decided to kill him on my own, I wouldn't leave my Comrades' death in vain."

Mitsuki sincerely smiled and patted her back. "I understand you Inomi-San, but he surely would take over the village if you haven't done anything."

A tear fell out of her eye subconsciously, she immediately wiped it off and laughed. Mitsuki silently smirked, he finally broke her soft side. "A-anyways.. Where have you been earlier? It's late, ya'know?" She quickly asked the boy, who shrugged and looked up to the sky.

"I was with Boruto-Kun earlier.. Hey, we're almost near the Village.." They turned to the blurry sight of the City. Mitsuki's golden orbs shined at the sight of Inomi, fascinated yet excited. She grinned at him, holding both of his shoulders.

"Come on Mitsuki! Let's rest for now.. I can't wait to see The Hidden Mist Village!"

—

"We're here.. We're here!" Inomi cheered, shaking her brother by the shoulders aggressively. He was getting dizzy at this point. They stood on the deck of the ship, finally seeing a clear view of the Village.

Inomi's teal orbs sparkled, seeing the Beautiful village right ahead. "It's so better up-close.."

"I heard it was really rural.." Shikadai mumbled, placing his hands on his pockets. They stood above the Uzumaki and the others. Inomi sat on the deck clumsily, Inojin holding her carefully.

"Troublesome Woman.." The Nara muttered with a smirk, sighing as he saw The Yamanaka's wide grin.

—

"Everyone, Line up for a Roll Call!" Inomi called out, together with Shino and Anko beside her. The purple-haired girl smiled. "Stay together!"

They checked each of their students, making sure that everyone was present. The Yamanaka smiled and immediately giving the clipboard to the tall man beside her.

Shino looked on the papers carefully, before he looked towards the students. "Our guide from the Hidden Mist will be coming shortly, so behave yourselves." He informed everyone.

Boruto arched an eyebrow. "Guide?"

"Reminders that we are not from here!" Inomi told them, eyeing the Uzumaki. He slightly gulped and turned to Denki, who just shrugged at him.

"Welcome to the Hidden Mist Village." A voice greeted. The Class turned towards the Newcomer. Fairly tall, magenta eyes, an unusual pink mark on his cheek, and probably could swoon the girls in any second.

"I'll be your guide from today, Kagura Karatachi." He introduced himself, waving at all of them. After that, the girls swarmed over the boy, squealing and admiring him in awe.

"Thank you for coming, Kagura-Sama.." Shino thanked the boy, approaching his figure and offered his hand. Kagura gladly shook his hand. "Of course. I'm honoured to be your guide."

Shino and Kagura continued to talk. Inomi stood behind the Aburame, deciding not to listen to their conversation.

"Kagura Karatachi is a close aid to the Mizukage. He's not much older than you guys.. you know?" Anko smirked as she walked over towards the girls.

"WHAT?!"

"He's totally different from the boys in our class!"

"He seems pretty hot, but I wonder what he's like on the inside?.."

"You're right about that, ChoCho." The Yamanaka silently chuckled in amusement, she liked how the girls were acting different towards a Handsome guy. As for the boys, she was really interested on how some were giving him the stink eye... and some were getting flustered by him.

"I'm so happy to be able to welcome the son of the Legendary Naruto Uzumaki, the Nanadaime.. and his classmates.." The Karatachi smiled, walking towards the Uzumaki.

"That's weird.. but you do you.." Inomi silently commented.

"C-Cut it out, all right?" Boruto stuttered out as he held his hand to Kagura. "My dad has got nothing to do with this. I'm Boruto Uzumaki, you can just call me Boruto, okay?"

"Alright." He agreed, shaking the Uzumaki's hand. "Then you can just call me Kagura."

"Yeah, nice to meet you Kagura!" Boruto grinned, he looked towards the Yamanaka and stuck his tongue out. He immediately pressed his lips into a thin line when the girl shot a glare at him.

Kagura noticed his attention and drifted his eyes to the girl beside Shino. He smiled at her. "Ah, you must be their Sensei, right?"

Inomi froze in her position and nodded slowly. By that, she was gonna kill the Uzumaki in any minute.

The Ash blonde boy approached her with a bright smile on his face.

"Kagura Karatachi, nice to meet you." He greeted her, taking her bandaged hand and shaking it.

She cleared her throat and smiled at him. "Inomi Yamanaka, I am their Sensei. As you can tell."

"I finally get to see the Youngest Jonin in Konoha. You have beautiful hair." He smiled at her, he stared at her bandaged hand. He knew that she was injured, as his eyes drifted to her teal orbs.

They stared at each other for awhile. She was growing uncomfortable, trying to release herself from his strong grip. "Kagura-Sama?"

He still didn't budged. His face was turning pink from time to time. Inomi looked at the side and closed her eyes. Her mouth turned into an 'o' as she saw his cheeks.

"Please refrain doing this again.. I'm not comfortable with stares." She admitted as he immediately jolted up. Inomi pulled her hand away from his and looked down with a frown.

"R-right... Sorry." He mumbled while lowering his hand. Inomi eyed him from the corner of her eyes. She cleared her throat once again, and clapped with a curt smile.

"Let's get going Everyone! Shino-San? Anko-San?" She cheered and turned to the Adults who sweatdropped and smiled at her.

"Lead the way, Kagura-Sama!"

"Please, call me Kagura." He chuckled and started walking. The Yamanaka blinked but immediately followed behind.

—

They followed the Karatachi behind as they stopped in front of a waterfall. It surprisingly opened to reveal the Village.

The others gasped in shock. Boruto and the others ran on the area. The class spread around the village, exploring the New City. The Mist Village was pretty modern, unlike The Hidden Leaf, Their village was still traditional as it is. The place did change its appearance.

The girls suddenly dragged the Yamanaka, approaching their Sensei. Namida tugged on his back and he turned to look at them. Wasabi handed him a camera. "Please?"

Shino agreed as the girls stood on the Fountain, with smiles on their faces.

With that, they had a photo to save for the meantime.

"Whoa! This Shinobi Card Game isn't even on sale in the Hidden Leaf Village!" The Uzumaki exclaimed, staring at the Display of Golden Cards on a each box. Shikadai walked up near him as he sighed. "Looks like it's limited edition.."

"Yeah.. What should we do? Should we buy it?.." Boruto suggested, hesitating to reach the deck of cards, wiggling his fingers. Sweat started to drip down his face. The Female Yamanaka's ears perked up at his statement.

Shikadai rested his hand on his hip. "If you split the cost, you could—"

"This Port town is the hub of distribution and trade, and we get goods from various islands. And.. It's bustling tourist destination." Kagura explained, cutting off the Nara's thoughts.

"Wow.. The Hidden Mist Village is really something.." Boruto awed with a smile on his face, turning to the Tall boy behind him.

"I'm glad you like our village!"

"Eheh.. 100 ryo for one Card? Looks like a great deal.." Inomi held her cheeks, opening her rabbit-shaped wallet. Boruto and Shikadai widened their eyes at the sight of her full wallet. The Uzumaki gasped in shock. "I couldn't believe she's that rich.."

"How about you Yamanaka-Chan, what do you think about this Village?" Kagura asked the flustered girl. She turned with white eyes before hiding her wallet on her back.

"For my first visit? Not bad! I like this place already!" She smiled while wiggling her shoulders. Inojin looked at her with a smug face, she was too energetic for this trip. Kagura grinned and nodded his head. "I'm glad to hear that from someone who's a Young Jo--"

"Yeah yeah, I'm a Jonin but why can't a kid have fun?" She questioned him as she placed a finger on his lips. His face grew hot and pushed her hand away, looking down on the ground. "Yeah.."

Boruto widened his eyes once again as he saw something interesting on his hip. "Hey! Are you a Kagemasa Fan too, Kagura?" He asked the boy, pointing at the sword on his side, a small charm on it.

"Uh, yes.." He slowly replied. He dangled the Small orange glasses and placed it on his palm. "His movies are great, aren't they?" He chuckled at the Blonde.

Click.

"This is a super-limited item, you can only get in theaters!" The Kaminarimon popped out of the Karatachi's back. He quickly clicked his purse open and stared at the Charm carefully. "Name your price! How much will you sell for it?"

Inomi chuckled at his behavior as she paid for the Shinobi Cards. She happily piled them up and placed it on the side pocket of her bag, she thought that she would give her twin half of the cards too.

She noticed a faint chakra in the alleyway, rising up her suspicions. There, she saw Iwabe with a scowl on his face, walking away from the area. The Yamanaka clenched her fist and turned to the Uchiha. They nodded at each other, as Inomi went off towards somewhere.

I have to find that stubborn Yuino..

"IWABE!" Denki called out as he ran up to the boy. Iwabe stopped on his tracks and sighed at the two. They were at a dark path of the village, the place was very gloomy. Denki placed his hands on his knees, panting heavily. "Awh man, don't go disappearing on us!"

"C'mon, please? Iwabe.." Boruto pleaded, following Denki behind.

"Where I go is my business, Isn't it?" He scoffed, turning back at them.

Boruto scowled at him. "You can't just run off. This isn't our village.." He mumbled, looking around the area. This place might be pretty on the outside, but something was off about this Town. He looked up to the buildings, seeing light shining upon them. "Still, its pretty.. amazing.."

"It's almost overkill.."

"It's all a cover-up." Iwabe stated, turning back to both of them. "Remember? I told you.. this used to be a terrible village. They covered up their worthless past with all these new buildings."

"But.. that's all in the past, right?" Boruto shrugged, shutting his eyes closed. "This is supposed to be a field trip, so let's enjoy ourselves!" He cheered as he turned towards the usual path they used to exit the alleyway. Suddenly, he bumped into someone's chest, landing on his butt.

"Whoa!"

"Boruto!" Denki cried out with widened eyes. The Uzumaki rubbed his side before smirking at the person.

He looked at the Kaminarimon to inform him that he was fine. He stood up from the ground. "Sorry about that. C'mon let's go—"

"Hey wait up." Iwabe called the mysterious man. He walked over him and went closer to his face, he was glaring at him icily. "You're the one who bumped into him."

"Huh.. So what if I did? Brats from the Hidden Leaf have no business nosing around our island." The guy spat out, revealing his sharp teeth as he spoke.

"What?!" Iwabe yelled as he hardened his glare at him.

Boruto stepped forward with hands on his pockets. Iwabe went out of the way as The Uzumaki stood infront of the man. "You knew that we were from the Hidden Leaf Village?"

"Yeah.. I could tell instantly because of your gloomy faces." He cockily smirked, looking down on the boy with a petty look. Boruto frowned at his statement, before looking up to him with a blank face.

"Too bad. I thought this was a pretty cool village.."

"Huh?! Let me teach you some manner you brat!" He angrily stated as he raised his palm out towards the Blonde boy. On cue, A fast figure grabbed his arm from behind and twisted it harshly. She grabbed both of his hands and landed her foot on his back. She stretched his arms out, smirking at the sound of a whimper.

"You shouldn't be touching my student." Inomi spoke up, glaring at the man.

He gulped at her stare and gritted his sharp teeth. "You brat! Don't bother me—

"Why are attacking my student?" She interrupted. "Resisting is useless, answer my question if you don't wanna lose two limbs."

Eitherway, she would break his arms in any second right now. She pressed her foot harder with a smirk on her face.

"Cut it out, Hassaku." A voice stated from the corner. She released the man, called Hassaku from her grip. She squinted her eyes before pressing her lips into a thin line. "Leave these kids alone, you're only embarrassing yourself." He added before walking out.

"Fine, Shizuma." Hassaku muttered, looking back at the Yamanaka with his eyes twitching. Shizuma walked towards the girl with a smirk on his face.

The girl stood straight before she moved her hand with a kunai, pressing it to the man's neck who flickered in front of her. He grabbed her waist and leaned closer to her face.

"Inomi Yamanaka... rumored to be an Otsutsuki pawn, a young Jonin.."

The Yamanaka struggled on his grip, but kept a serious face. She can feel his breath beneath her face.

"You have nice eyes." He plainly complimented the girl. She blinked in confusion before blowing her hair off of her face. "You sure? Your mouth smells fishy." She smirked as she pressed her blade closer to his bare skin.

His smile faltered into a frown, but he quickly smiled again.

"Eh, they're really pretty.. Besides, you stood up to Hassaku. Expected for someone who's a Jonin." He continued, smirking as he felt Iwabe's staff on his neck. He grabbed the rod and turned to the boy. "You gotta be like that, to be a Shinobi."

"Let's go, Hassaku." He waved to the man, he wrapped his arm on his shoulders before waving back at the group. "Sorry about this. Enjoy yourself.. in the Blood Mist Village."

After that, Mist surrounded the area. Inomi gritted her teeth as she clenched on her kunai. She weaved a hand sign as she protected her students from behind. They were surrounded with a thin mint coat.

"Mist.."
