«8» ESCAPE!

[Edited]

—

Boruto was falling.

Wait what, falling?

Yes.

Falling out of the Portal. The Yamanaka squeezed his hands.  He turned to her as she was pulling him closer to her own body. In her arms, he felt safe, embracing the warm sensation. His mind felt peaceful, Was he in some type of Genjutsu or Was this Reality?

The Uzumaki shut his eyes closed when he saw strange vines below him.

"Hang on, Boruto-kun." She reassured him with a smile. He hesitantly opened his eyes to see him in Inomi's arms. They landed safely on the ground, which was a relief.

Boruto looked around his surroundings. The place was quite dark, blue hues coated the place. It was gloomy yet a sight to see.

"Where.. Is this?" Boruto asked, caressing his head from the pain. Inomi stared at the hollow of water that they were standing at. She started to walk away slowly, each step on the ground were a click.

"I'll let you figure that out, but perhaps.." She took Boruto's arm and stared at his palm. She furrowed her brows, and sighed at the sight of an empty palm.

She made the Blonde confused at her actions. "H-huh... Wait, why do you sound different Sensei? what are you doing to her—?!"

"Like I said, I'll explain it if you start walking." She sternly said. He quickly followed her behind and scratched the back of his head. He was confused on why she was walking as if she was leading him somewhere.

"You might be confused child, but here's why I'm not your Sensei.."

"Inomi Yamanaka has a special ability that I have given her ever since she was born. Apparently, I sealed myself inside of her. I sealed myself right before I knew I was gonna die.." The Voice started to speak which peeked Boruto's interest but he shook his head and scowled at her.

"That doesn't answer my que—"

"I'm not yet done." She glared at him, keeping his mouth shut.

"Her mission is to Remove Sumire Kakei from her curse.

That Loud explosion from earlier, is the source of Inomi's weakness. The Otsutsuki's special techniques drains her energy, Danzo's rats may be under this incident.

That's where I step in. She is still mentally conscious, with the use of her Chakra.. I'll take over her body. As her host, I don't want her in a coma for a whole year." She explained, leaving Boruto once again, confused.

Surely he would get it soon.

"Hm, Your Jougan is interesting.." She mumbled as she holds his face. The Uzumaki's face turned pink from the interaction. This wasn't his Sensei but he couldn't resist her Beautiful face features."Like I said, your eye could guide you somehow.."

She noticed his strange behavior."What's wrong Uzumaki?"

"Huh?" He gasped out, looking at the side.

"There's.. thing I kept seeing.." He admitted, referring to the strange Purple spirit that leads to an unknown path.

She raised her eyebrow as they went in closer to find a dark area. Her eyes widened as Boruto walked halfway near a strange Tree stump.

"Boruto!" She yelled. Inomi immediately rushes towards him, and raised her arm up to their heads.

Her hand weaved a sign as green chakra covered them from the falling debris. Boruto's breath hitched, amazed by her ability. Furthermore, he smiled at the sound of her usual soft voice.

"Sensei! You're back!"

"Heh, Did Toneri-sama bother you that much?" She smirked at him. He nodded in embarrassment.

Whatever you say Inomi. He grumbled.

As the dust disappeared from the area. There they saw a huge Animal, standing above them with anger written all over its face. He started to growl and swiped his paw with sharp claws towards them. They immediately jumped back, avoiding the attack. Nue growls lowly as it took another step forward.

Inomi felt her eyes fatigue from the creature. She shook that aside and took out her tanto. She turned worried when she saw Boruto yelling at it, desperately asking the creature for Sumire's whereabouts.

"You! DID YOU REALLY EAT HER?!"

He threw his kunai at its head, the weapon didn't went through its body as the kunai bounces off of Nue's face. The creature roared, one of his Worm-Like tails appeared and charged towards them.

Inomi nodded her head towards Boruto, who nodded his head back. She stared at Nue and smirk at it.

"Let's see if you're a piece of cake, Eh.."

~

"No Luck..." Denki mumbled in frustration. Inojin, Shikadai, and Denki were walking towards the Crowded place. They stood still near the Yellow tape, It seems that everyone was curious about the sudden attack. The Kaminarimon holds the tape while looking at the ground.

"He's nowhere to be found.."

The three of them were looking for Boruto, gone. Shikadai sweatdropped at his remark, sighing in realization. "I can't believe he hasn't shown up during all this chaos.. Where the hell did Boruto go anyway?" The Nara mumbled.

Inojin was silently observing the place, yet he was nervous. His Twin wasn't even there. He thought that she would be investigating this operation.

He shook his head and walked forward in the middle, the others looked at him in confusion. "Maybe.. This is connected to the Ghost Incidents?"

"Huh?!"

Denki furrowed his eyebrows and turned to see the entrance of the Park."No way.. you think Boruto is inside there?!" He asked the Yamanaka as he stood still from his spot.

Inojin let out a low gasp as a pang of realization washed over him.

Was this the reason why she didn't want them to know about the culprit?

"I don't know.. But even the Class Rep is missing. Even my sister.." He pointed out loud. His mouth formed a frown at that thought.

He remembered that he never saw Sumire from her hospital room but, the window of her room was wide open. He also noticed that Inomi left without a trace behind, which made him think that she was doing a special task.

Shikadai clicked his tongue and straightened up his back. "Maybe something really terrible happened.." He looked at his Blonde friend and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I heard your sister was part of this Mission, but I know she's strong."

"W-well.. I'm gonna search some more!" Denki stated as he runs to the side, followed by Inojin behind. The Nara reached out to them as he wanted to protest. Unfortunately, they didn't listen. He looked up to the starry sky and saw green and blue hues around it.

"What's that?.."

~

Inomi ran towards the beast and took out her tanto behind her back. She prepared two shurikens between her fingers and threw it near Nue's eyes. She clicked her tongue when it didn't went through his eyes. She saw Boruto summon 3 of his clones and ran below Nue's body.

She puts chakra on her feet and jumped towards a large rope. She observed that the worms were coming out of his tail, she squinted her eyes as she activated her Tenseigan. There, she saw a strange source of chakra.

THUMP.

Inomi gasped and clenched her chest. The chakra was too strong for her to handle, as she felt her body weaken.

"AH!" Her body stumbled and fell to the air. Mitsuki arrived just in time, and extended his arms to catch her. The Yamanaka grunted in pain and smiled at the sight of her student.

"Thank you, Mitsuki-san.." She whispered, burying her face on his chest.

"Call me Mitsuki instead." He hummed as they climbed on a tree trunk.

They saw Boruto successfully stabs The Creature right between it's eyes. Nue let out a yell, shaking it's head as it released a sudden gush of wind. Boruto flew off and landed roughly on the tree trunk. Inomi's eyes widened, trying to get out of Mitsuki's grasp.

He gripped on her torso and legs tighter while reassuring her. "I'll make sure he's safe, heal yourself Sensei."

He placed her on the tree branch safely. Inomi kept quiet and placed her hands together, it started to glow mint green. Wind flow through her hair, making herself smile when she felt her body getting replenished with new energy. She saw Mitsuki reached out to Boruto with his arms.

"Why were you standing there, all dazed?" Mitsuki asked the Blonde, The Uzumaki widened his eyes at the sight of a blue-haired boy. "Mitsuki!—"

"How can you talk about revenge when the Class Rep's not even dead?" Mitsuki rhetorically asked him, still not looking at the boy. He furrowed his eyebrows as his eyes landed on Nue. "Because that thing's following her orders." He answered his own question, referring to the beast below them.

"Are you still going after her?" He continued to ask the Uzumaki, who went in front of him. "Are you still—"

"This is not the time to debate over crap boys, I'm not in the mood to deal with the both of you. For now, Let's focus on Nue first." She snapped at the two. Their eyes widened when they heard her curse for the first time. "Mitsuki is right. Nue is under command, by Sumire. Whether we don't like this conclusion, let's put our bet that we will survive."

She puts her mask on and jumped towards another tree trunk. The beast tried to hit them with his big paws. Inomi landed safely on a vine and glared at the beast. Nue started to chase towards the boys as they ran away from it.

"Although it's much smaller than when it first happened in the village. If we get hit with that, we're in big trouble." Mitsuki explained, they started to avoid the strange vines that covered their path.

Boruto looked at the creature for a second before looking forward. "Mitsuki! Can you stall him?"

"I can try." Mitsuki replied. The boy stopped and turned to Nue, he started to weave hand signs as Nue growled at him. "Wind style: Breakthrough!" He deeply inhaled and blew a giant wind release towards the animal, as it landed on it's back.

"Sensei!" Boruto yelled at Inomi, who nodded at him and pulled her tanto again, she slowly started to weave hand signs and waited for Boruto to summon his clones. They scattered around the place and threw kunais with paper bombs on each ropes.

"Boruto! Now!" Inomi yelled. The Uzumaki fell down on the creature. A worm suddenly caught him, turns out to be a Shadow Clone. Inomi weaved a hand sign and teleported near the beast's tail. Her Tanto glowed purple as her arm started to release electricity. "Lightning Style: Blade Technique!"

She successfully stabbed the core of its chakra next to the Creature'stail. Nue screeched loudly, making The Yamanaka jumped off of its back.

BOOM.

There, she looked up and see two giant ropes about to fall over them.

She immediately scoops Boruto in her arms and ran as fast as she can on an empty Platform. Dust covered the area as Nue was trapped below the Two large ropes.

Inomi laughed at him out of blue, which made him deadpanned. "Hah? Why are you laughing?—"

"I never knew you can be so smart, at least for now.." She murmured between her laughs. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Boruto had steam coming out of his ears and pouted at her. "Was that even a compliment?" He mumbled while crossing his arms. There was something about her tucking her hair behind her ear.

Her laughter died down, she stared at him for a moment. "Of course, I'm proud of you Boruto-san." She responded with a curt smile.

His mouth twitched at the sound of her voice, his cheeks turned slightly pink. Shaking his head, he ignored the warm sensation on his face.

"So, you think it's over?" Inomi asked, glancing over somewhere. Boruto shrugged at her as Mitsuki landed in front of the trapped beast.

Mitsuki looked over The Uzumaki and smiled. "Oh.. In any event, your eye is amazing. So as that eye of yours Inomi-san."

He stared back at Nue, who was struggling from his trap. "You can even see where he's vulnerable, I'll finish this.."

Mitsuki started to raise his hand towards the animal, a lightning spark appeared on his arm. Inomi halted him by holding his shoulder. He got confused at her action.

She smiled behind her mask, while walking towards Nue. "I'll just have to seal him, it's risky to kill him."

As she approached Nue, she tried to reach out on him. The Beast started to growl and prepared himself from her touch.

Unfortunately, A sudden Wall of water appeared from the ground. It blocked Inomi's way which made her sigh.

Inomi lowered her arm. "I knew you were still desperate for your friend, Sumire Kakei. You should've given up by now."

"I won't let you kill Nue!" A voice echoed from above, Boruto jolted up and tried to find Sumire.

"This child is the ultimate weapon I raised for the sake of revenge!" She continued. Boruto's eyes widened when he saw her standing on a rock platform, his eye activated yet again.

"Class Rep!" The Uzumaki yelled out as they jumped towards the stump where the Kakei was standing. Mitsuki slowly approached her and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Class Rep. I'll just ask to make sure, But there's no way you'll come back with us willingly, Is there?" He asked her, she turned around to the three of them.

He stepped back, getting ready to attack the girl. Inomi placed a hand over his body, stopping him from doing so. Boruto frowned and clenched his fists. "Come on, Class rep.. Please come Back!"

"How can you be so easy going about this?! I attacked the Hidden Leaf. To me, This is War!" Sumire stated, as she held her head high cockily.

Inomi widened her eyes at her statement, she gritted her teeth and went in front of Boruto. "You think this is war? That's pathetic of you Sumire! Don't become something you aren't because of your father!"

"Come back to our Village, Please Sumire! I'm begging you as your Sensei! As your Comrade!" She continued to plead her.

Sumire's breath hitched as the Anbu revealed her identity. "S-Sensei?"

She couldn't believe that her Sensei made her way here to save her. She was speaking her true feelings— Inomi wasn't like that. What was this type of sorcery, and was she close to believing her?

"Open your Eyes Sumire Kakei, This isn't your war, This is your Parent's war!" Inomi yelled as her eyes started to blur from the tears.

Boruto held her back, frowning at the sight of his Sensei.

"No, This is my war too!" The Kakei fought back, as if trying to defend her own Parents.

"I was taught to fulfill father's long-cherished hope. During the chaos of war, my father served tirelessly for the Hidden Leaf!

But then, the Great war ended.. He was treated like a criminal just because he was from the Foundation!"

"All that's got nothing to do with you Class Rep!" Boruto shot back.

"Me? Perhaps it doesn't.. After all, Sumire Kakei never existed from the beginning!" She chuckled lowly, with a sad tone.

"For as long as I can remember I've lived in hiding and always kept it to myself. The only moment of tranquility I knew of was when my mother would comb my hair. But she fell ill from all the fear and anxiety and died.." Her voice started to crack up, but continued.

"Filled with bitterness, My father raised me as a tool to wreak vengeance on the village. I can't even remember my mother's voice anymore. Father raised me to avenge him.. as his weapon."

"Father raised me to avenge him... as his weapon.." Sumire darkly repeated. Raising her fingers with a kunai between it, a ball of water formed in front of the sharp blade.

"Watch out!"

"Wind Style: Wind Scythe!" Mitsuki immediately stated, jumping up to the air and swung his hands to send wind-like blades towards the girl. She dodged the attacks by flipping backwards, over and over. As one attack hits her, she turned to water.

She started to hit the boy with water bullets. Yet again, another attack hits the boy, he turns into white snakes. Inomi and Boruto continued to watch them, one was amused while one was terrified.

The Yamanaka looked at the both of them, lost in thought. She was strong, too strong. But she couldn't even step in. She didn't know what was holding her back. Maybe it was her strength or could it be— feelings?

"Water Style: Suireiha!" The Kakei yelled, as she shoots an attack towards the blue-haired boy with big water bullets.

Though Mitsuki admitted, he wanted Nue at the first place. But his target was Sumire. Inomi couldn't process his mindset. It was risky to kill the Host instead, it made her furrow her eyebrows. She looked at Boruto who was frozen at his spot.

Her eyes widened at the sight of A white snake shooting towards Sumire, which she dodged with her own purple snake.

Boruto gasped at the sudden realization, this match was already getting deadly.

"Stop.." Boruto mumbled, terrified at the two, still fighting each other. He stared at the frozem Yamanaka, it made him more terrified. Her face was both amused, and it had a hint of guilt.

"What's valuable is the Gozu Tennou on your back. I don't care if you're a corpse." Mitsuki sadistically smiled, charging at the girl with a kunai on his hand. The girl did the same thing as she rushed towards him.

"STOP!" Boruto yelled out, tears rolling down his face. Inomi clicked her tongue and ran towards between them. The Uzumaki widened his eyes at the sight of his Sensei running. He tried to stop her.

"WAIT—"

Thump.

Inomi groaned at the pain that she felt on her shoulders. She saw two kunais on each of her shoulders. Making her grit her teeth.

It hit her, they were ready to kill each other. "Oh Kami..." She sulked silently. "If you told me my students were here for a bloodbath, I could've restrain them earlier..!"

"Sensei!" Boruto approached the girl, who slightly pushed him away.

She whimpered as she took out one of the kunais off her shoulder. "Is this what you wanted Sumire Kakei?"

Sumire's breath hitched, her eyes twitching at the sudden guilt.

"You became a weapon.. and you'll let yourself stain the pain, guilt, and anger that has been stuck inside of you?" She continued, she turned to the Uzumaki and nodded. He looked at her in worry, he could see that she was in pain. "Boruto, please continue.."

"I-Inomi.."

"Continue."

Boruto hesitantly turned to the two, following The Yamanaka's orders. He looked at Mitsuki with a scowl. "What are you doing to your classmate?!"

Mitsuki arched a brow. "Classmate?" He lowered his hand, slightly widening his eyes when he saw his kunai, gone. He turned to Inomi who was bleeding from the blades. He furrowed his eyebrows and began to speak.

"Inomi-Sensei, You're working with the Anbu Head Chief.. You know what happened right? The Class Rep fooled us to gather around intel."

Inomi coughed silently, wincing as she saw the crimson blood on her shoulder.

My energy is weakening..

"Yes. I am working as an Anbu. I'll fully admit that I had committed in this operation." She started. "I figured it out with my own motive, and I was ready to stain my hands."

The atmosphere turned cold. She could only mean one thing— she was ready to kill.

She shook her head and slowly stood up, looking at The Kakei. "From what I observed.. I refused to believe that. Namida and the others told me how hard you tried to save them. When Boruto returned to school.. When the girl and boys got into a fight.. You were always worried."

"It wasn't convincing that you faked all of those, you might as well showed your True colors around us. I know you're forcing hatred towards yourself, Sumire." Her voice became low. Sumire was shock at her conclusion. It feels like the Yamanaka was reading her like a piece of paper.

"And that's a reason why to trust the Class Rep?" Mitsuki asked, Inomi sighed as she took the other blade on her shoulder.

"I'm pretty sure that we couldn't be that oblivious. If I didn't analyzed this and chose my feelings, I would've killed her already." She admitted, making Boruto gasped at her statement.

"But those simple reasons were enough proof for me to trust her. Even if I have a burning passion to complete this mission with blood, I believe I can trust her.. She's my student and all of you are classmates.." She smiled, placing a hand on her hip.

I'll just have to take this a longer way around..

"Sensei is right! That's what I was supposed to say!" Boruto grinned and slightly carried Inomi in his arms.

Mitsuki smiled. facing the ground for a moment. "Seriously, You always end up at an answer that I wouldn't even agree with. To trust people when there's no basis for it... is so stupid!.."

"But.. When I check her out at the Hospital, The Class Rep said she wanted this to "to be over quickly". She seemed serious about that." He smirked. Sumire's face turned shock, as if she showed fear towards Mitsuki's intentions.

Inomi slightly pushed Boruto away, and started to kneel with one knee. She started to perform Hand signs, unnoticed. The Uzumaki activated his eye again, smiling at the sight of the Ghost slowly vanishing.

"I finally figured out why the Ghost possesses only those who are burdened with troubles.." Boruto stated in determination, catching The Kakei's attention. "It's because Class Rep has harbored her troubles for too long. It was easier to latch onto those with similar mindsets!" He stated out loud.

"And when something affect their heart in a big way, The Ghost disappears." Boruto continued with a smirk. "You can't fool us Class Rep."

"No..No! You're wrong! I am a weapon to avenge my father!" She gasped out loud and clenched her fists. "NUE!"

The Large Animal jumped up towards the platform they were standing, hiding behind Sumire. Mitsuki sighed, together with Inomi and Boruto. "I knew it.. it revived.."

"This is an order!"

"Extract all of my chakra and..." Nue looked at Sumire, as she lowered her head. "And....

.

.

then.. Blow yourself up!.."

Inomi scowled at the girl. The other two was taken aback from her command, widening their eyes.

The Yamanaka cursed under breath, shaking her head. She started to continue her Jutsu. "Come on.. why does this take me too long.." She mumbled, as she swiftly did her actions.

Nue started to nuzzle his head against her with a small smile on his face. "What's the matter Nue? Hurry up and extract it!"

"Nue what are you doing?! Why won't you obey my order?!" Sumire tried to push his face away from her, who lied down on the ground. Mitsuki sighed in confusion as he watched the strange interaction between Sumire and Nue. "What's going on.."

"Maybe.. that thing thinks you're his parent.." Boruto thought out loud.

Inomi slightly nudged his knee and scowled at him. "That's not a thing, idiot.."

Boruto deadpanned. "Right.."

"Class Rep, you may have raised that bea... err.. Animal... to act exactly as your order him to. But he thinks you're his parent. And you're gonna turned him into a weapon?! You've gone through life suffer under the burden of your Father's orders... And you're gonna do the same thing to Nue?! You can choose your own path. All of us.. You and Nue.."

"SUMIRE!" Inomi yelled out loud, slamming her hand on the ground. "RELEASE!"

CRACK.

Sumire gasped out loud, as her seal from her back shattered. She fell down onto her knees.

"The Gozou Tennou!" Mitsuki pointed out. He looked at his Sensei as she stumbled a little. He slithered his hands around her waist to keep her from falling. "Sensei!"

RUMBLE

RUMBLE

RUMBLE

The ground started to shake as debris fell on them. They dodged the the falling rocks and looked up to the surface. "What's.. this?.."

"Probably the Gozou Tennou has broken, and the Chakra that was gathered is getting wild." Mitsuki explained while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Is it that bad?"

"It is that bad." Mitsuki merely muttered. "It's probably cave-in at any minute.." He added to his conclusion. Boruto turned to the girl who was sitting on her knees. "Let's get out of here! What's the matter?! Hey!—"

Just as he started to run, The ground broke as Nue and Sumire fell down slowly. Mitsuki walked towards the blonde with a worried expression. "Boruto.."

"Class Rep!"

"CLASS REP!"

"Sumire.." A voice called out.

Her breath hitched.

"Mother?.."

"Let's go now, Sumire.." A figure sincerely said, with a smile painted on their face. The purple-haired girl blinked as tears rolled down her face, seeing Inomi above her. She gasped at the sudden realization.

Why...Why did she sounds like my mother?..

"Why..Why Sensei?" The girl croaked out. She saw her eyes, her eyes showed that she was tired, yet so serious. It really did reminded her of her own mother.

The Yamanaka offered her hand, while closing her eyes.

"I don't abandon my comrades, I'm tired of being called a scum.." She chuckled. Sumire hesitantly took her hand, before placing it to the Yamanaka's hand. "Any who, I don't really wanna get killed by Boruto either." She pulled her up and guided her into Nue's back.

Boruto jumped in out of nowhere, and smiled at the sight of Sumire behind him. He looked back at the Yamanaka and nodded at her. Nue started to run away from the destruction.

"Shinobi Art: Super Beast Scroll!" She yelled out, there a big butterfly appeared. She hopped on it's back and flew away with the others. She saw Mitsuki swinging through the vines, making her wave her hands at him. "Mitsuki! Over Here!"

Mitsuki fell down behind Inomi. He wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled. "You're really smart Inomi-san, You took your time to break her seal. And your body is really toned."

A blush crept onto Inomi's cheeks, before shaking her head with a pout. "Yeah Yeah, Whatever.."

"Thank you for helping us, Sensei!" Boruto exclaimed with a wink. She nodded at him with a smile.

Suddenly a large boulder fell down to them. Nue forcefully pushed it down with his paws, Inomi went under the boulder and swiftly flew towards the exit. Inomi and Mitsuki holds each other's hands, jumping towards the ground. They waited for the other two land as they arrived in time.

Before leaving, Nue jumped down together with the falling rock. Sumire widened her eyes tried to reach him with her arms. "Nue!"

"Let's go!" Boruto stated, grabbing Sumire's hand. The portal grew smaller as they got closer. Boruto activated his eye once again, Inomi did the same thing as well.

"Over Here!" They both said in sync. A large purple Portal appeared as Boruto punched the wall.

With that, all of them entered the Portal.

~

"IMOUTO!"

"BORUTO!"

"IMOUTO!"

"IMOUTO— I MEAN INOMI-SAN!"

"Shikadai... Inomi isn't your sister—"

"I know that!!!"

The trio yelled out on top of the Hokage Monument. Inojin as rubbing her temples, he saw the Sun rising up. It made the other two sighed. "It's no use..."

Suddenly, Three people fell out from the sky. Mitsuki calmly landed on a ground while Boruto and Sumire... landed on each other. "Ow.."

Shikadai, Inojin, and Denki turned to see them, surprised. "Boruto!" Shikadai called out, as the three of them run towards the others. "Why did you fall out of the sky?!"

Boruto smiled. "Huh?.. Well.. A lot of things happened.." He chuckled, scratching the nape of his neck. Sumire gasped as she got off of him quickly, after realizing she fell on him.

"You too Class Rep?" Inojin smirked, bending over Sumire and Boruto's level. The Kakei blushed in embarrassment, slightly raising her hand. "Uh.. W-well.."

"You kept calling for us. That's how we found a way out.." Boruto quickly explained. The trio deadpanned at his answer, staring at him with white-circle eyes. Inojin shook his head and started to look around, worried.

The Uzumaki widened his eyes in realization. "Where's Sensei?.."

"Huh? What do you mean by that, Boruto-san?" A familiar voice asked. They turned around to see Inomi crossing her arms with a smile, back to her normal Shinobi outfit.

She silently smiled with a finger on her lips, telling Boruto to keep it a secret.

Inojin widened his eyes, as he ran up to her. She was immediately engulfed in a hug. She chuckled at him, she felt her sleeves getting wet. She can also hear him sobbing.

"I've been looking everywhere for you!" He stated with a pout. She sighed while hugging him back. "Papa should be here right... now.."

A group of Jonins arrived in time. Sai arched a brow, seeing plenty of the students around the area. "What are you all doing at this hour?"

"Huh uh.."

"We were just looking for Boruto and the others, Papa." Inomi smiled, while hugging Inojin's back. Sai nodded at her. He approached the Purple-haired girl, crouching beside her.

"I walked a similar path like yours, will you let me help you?"

"What's going on?" Shikadai questioned out of blue. Confused on what's happening right now.

Sumire stood up and smiled, turning around to the others. She was staring at her Sensei in awe, before looking back at everyone. "I am going to talk to him for a bit." She plainly replied.

"I see.." Boruto mumbled.

Inomi kept her lips sealed, Her twin placed a hand over her shoulder. "Did you.. knew about this?.."

She nodded, before following behind Sumire and Sai. "It's an incident brought about the ghosts from the past. She will not be harmed." Sai reassured, leading Sumire away from the others. Inomi went beside her father, who wrapped his arm around her shoulders with a sincere smile on his face.

"CLASS REP!" Boruto yelled out. Sumire stopped on her tracks and turned around, seeing Boruto with his activated eye. "He's alive! It's really faint... But he's connected to your left hand!"

Sumire took her glove off of her left hand. She slightly grin at the sight of a red diamond, who appeared to have an eye. She clenched her fist with a smile, She bowed to Boruto before following Sai and Inomi back.

Inomi yawned, rubbing her eyes. "Today was exhausting.."

Sai carried her in his back, mostly like a piggyback ride. Sumire silently giggled at their interaction. The Yamanaka's father smiled, before whispering at his daughter.

"You can sleep now, while we get there.."

She peacefully slept with a cheeky smile.

~

"I'M SCREWED.." The Yamanaka grumbled under her breathe, as she watched the Metal Structure fall apart. Dust covered the Area from where it stood upright.

Her eyes twitched at the sight of an Uzumaki standing with a Red Flag on his hand. He smiled in Victory. "Looks like we Win!"

She gasped when she saw the mess at the distance. On the other hand, her eyes twitched even more, seeing Three kids with bruises and dirt on their skin.

The Blonde jumped down infront of the Yamanaka with a smile on his face. "How did I do, Shino Sensei?" He asked her. His smile faltered when he saw an irk mark on the one and only, Inomi. He scratched the back of his neck. "Hehe.. Didn't see you there.. Inomi-Sensei. I thought you were somewhere.. Not here though!"

"Where's Sensei?.." He wondered. Inomi wrote her observation on the clipboard and sighed at him with a sad smile. "Seems like he's up to something with your classmate.. And by that, I mean Sumire Kakei."

"Could it be?.." Denki stated, it peeked his sudden interest.

Boruto turned to the Kaminarimon with widened eyes. "Do you know something?" He asked him.

"Oh.. no! It's just.."

"The Class Rep might transfer to another School." The Male Yamanaka butted in. Boruto scowled and walked over to him. He grabbed on his purple collar, pulling him close to his face. "What the hell is that about?!"

"Oy, don't come up with an argument! He might be right AND wrong." Inomi pulled the Uzumaki's collar, taking him far away from her twin. He arched an eyebrow as he gripped on her wrist. "What do you mean?—"

"We don't know what could happen, I'm sure that the Hokage would reconsider the Anbu's decisions. For now, let's wait.." She reassured him. However, it didn't convinced him.

He loosen his grip on her wrist and started running.

"Uzumaki! Where are you going? Classes aren't over yet!" Inomi yelled while gritting her teeth. "Hm.. I didn't signed up to look over a stubborn Blockhead."

"Wait Boruto!" Shikadai yelled, trying to reach on him.

"Shut up! While we're wasting time here, the Class Rep might be.."

He froze on his spot, familiar with the chakra signature. He forcefully turned back to see his Sensei with a performed hand sign. He knew he was in trouble.

"Just look in front of you.."

The Blonde look straight towards the Entrance. There, they all saw The Aburame standing peacefully in the middle. Everyone was unusually quiet, questioning the Man who stood still. They waited for him to budge.

Inomi smiled as she held her hand, signalling someone to come. A familiar Purple blob peeked through the Academy Entrance, she faced the ground while walking towards the Class. The girl stopped on her tracks and smiled at them.

"I'm back, everyone!"

"SUMIRE!"

"SUMIRE-SAN!"

"CLASS REP!"

The kids ran towards the Kakei, passing by the poor Uzumaki. He tried to approach her but it seems he froze in his spot. Meanwhile, they surrounded Sumire with smiles and grins on their faces.

"Just a sec', everyone.." Sumire mumbled, waving everyone off. She was shock to see them happy with her sudden arrival, it grew a warm feeling in her chest.

"Aw~ Class Rep, where's your usual reaction?" ChoCho cooed out, curving her lips up into a smile.

"It seems one more person made an unthinkable choice.." Shikadai added as he looked over The Yamanaka, who was walking towards him. Followed by Mitsuki behind. Inojin let out a sigh, looking at the newly built building in front of him.

"So, everything's back to normal?" He wondered with a small smile on his face. He looked over to his sister, she just shrugged on him. He looked back at the Nara, who did the same thing as Inomi. "Who knows.."

"Maybe it's gotten worse than before?" Inojin ironically stated. He gulped as he felt the Yamanaka's intimidating glare at him. He squinted his eyes at the sight of his twin staring at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Keep talking, or hell will be calling your name, Yamanaka!" She sarcastically yelled. Inojin shivered at the sound of her voice. Shikadai snickered at his terrified state, The Nara couldn't believe that he would be scared of his own sister.

Inomi chuckled as she held her hand towards her lips. Sumire noticed her figure, staring at the Yamanaka. Her Purple orbs looked deeply into her Teal eyes, she couldn't believe that her Sensei was living happily... even if her Father told her about his daughter's past.

Inomi slyly waved at her with a closed-eye smile. Sumire gasped at her, as a tear fell off her eye. She could feel her cheeks getting warm. More tears started to flow down her face, still looking at the Yamanaka.

"What's wrong Sumire?!"

"What'd you do to her?!" A voice pointed at the Yuino, who gasped in shock. "Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything!" Iwabe defended himself, pointing the rod towards the kid.

Boruto noticed the Kakei's stare, his eyes trailed down to the girl beside him. He smirked.

He whispered something on The Yamanaka's ear, she giggled at his idea. Inomi raised her hand to the air as she started to speak up. "Hm? Maybe it's the Nara's fault.. who's around the corner!"

"Shut it, you bothersome woman!" He yelled, somewhere around the area. She had a mischievous smile painted on her face. She wrapped her arm around the Uzumaki's shoulders.

"What a Misogynistic remark Nara-Sama!" She fired back at him.
