#and I think I don't have to explain that Shikamaru is not obsessed with his revenge like Sasuke

[animeomegas]

Next is Kakashi - who's one of my favorites! - though I think this would would be more of a slow burn bittersweet story until his soulmate can slap some sense into him. After losing everyone he loves in the span of what? A decade? Or something like that? It can really mess with a person's love map and because of that I think Kakashi would really fight against the idea, at least for a time. I see him, honestly, looking forward to finding his as a child and really excited and happy about it until he finds his dad. That's where he'd fight against and even scorn the idea of having one and not just behind closed doors but publicly as well. Which of course would put him right against Obito's happiness for it. Then I think he'd really close himself off to the idea and him actually having one period after the war where he loses Obito and Rin with Minato and Kushina not too long after. If he did find his soulmate or they found him really, because he's not looking for them, it would be a hard road for them to get together and him accept he won't lose them too.

Lee. *brushes off hands* I rest my case! No, but, really, Lee would love to have a soulmate. After all the picking - kids can be so cruel! - and scorn because he can't use chakra we all know that even if it was platonic soulmates our youthful ninja would embrace that with open arms. I haven't thought much on him because while I love the theme and symbolism behind his character he's just not a personal favorite. (Cue the trash throwing!) Seriously though, just like Naruto, Lee would actively search for his soulmate and I think this would be a topic you stayed very, very respectful around him on. Soulmates are beautiful people and bring out the best in their partner, they are precious and to cherished deeply. And do not for a second think the boy won't throw fists if his own is being bad mouthed or disrespected in any way. 😤

Neji - where are my Neji stan fam?!?! - for me at least, would be another that would have a hard time accepting that there's someone out there for him. Would he secretly want one? Totally. Would he believe he deserved to have one? I don't think so, at least not until Naruto gives him a what for with his talk-no-justu. Afterwards, I see him starting to open up to the idea but very slowly. I don't think he'd be like Kakashi but he's not a Naruto or Lee either. It would take time to not only accept he has one, but if he finds them, that they'd actually love and care for him. His mate would really have to work and keep at him to break down those very high walls but when they do it'd be magical. They'd be so precious to him but - and this is just me - I see it being his soulmate who'd be the one throwing hands in regards to Neji. Am I right??

Honorable mention: Shikamaru. Here's my other big fav, the lazy genius himself. I had to add him despite this being so long already! I love my beautiful Nara sloth. So yeah, I was totally behind the Nara's Obsession idea. Total soulmate idea written right in!

Part 2! Let's do this!

KAKASHI

Okay, so I was fully prepared to disagree with you when you said Kakashi, but I think you actually explained yourself well! Because you're right, Kakashi does not want a soulmate. He doesn't believe that there's someone for him. Maybe one day there was, but now, he's too damaged to have a meaningful relationship.

And I LOVE the idea of conflict between Kakashi and Obito because Obito can't wait to meet his soulmate, and Kakashi think that's stupid.

I think Kakashi would run from meeting his soulmate, but after the war, if his soulmate was stubborn enough, I think they would slowly become part of his pack, even though he resists them at every turn lol.

LEE

Lee can't wait to meet his soulmate! You're so right!

His desire is so genuine and pure. He goes completely red when he meets his soulmate, and he talks so fast, basically falling over himself to make a good impression. It's very cute! <3

NEJI

The Neji stans are all in my inbox haha!

I'm going to gently disagree with you here.

Neji is super interesting when it comes to soulmates, because of his beliefs in destiny. He probably does believe in soulmates, and he's fully expecting to marry his soulmate. He just doesn't expect to be that happy with the situation. He thinks his destiny is to serve to main family with an advantageous match.

To actually get a soulmate that's someone good for him? It knocks him off balance. He's suspicious for a while, I reckon.

But I don't think he's anti-soulmate at any point, mainly resigned.

But yes, you're so right that he gets a soulmate that protects him. Neji's soulmate is always ready to fight for his honour haha!

SHIKAMARU

*thinks soulmates are a drag*

*meets soulmate*

Naruto Ask - 3, 4, 17, 22, 27.

okay oh my gosh i didn't think anyone was actually going to ask hi

3. Favorite villain - it's way, way too easy to say Itachi because i am obsessed with him unfortunately, otherwise i think Kabuto is cool and deserved better than domestication

4. Naruto or Naruto Shippuden - this is hard, plot-wise probably original, but character-wise it would be shippuden

17. Do you like new generation - i don't think so, even though i don't have much info on it. They deserve to rest and not die as lame former teen parents. Mirai's design is banger though.

22. Fav Akatsuki member, and why - well. i already said who, don't know how to explain why. Something about the eldest daughter syndrome and him being so ridiculously sad and also never being allowed any real expression of emotion despite the fact that it would have been justified all get me

27. Fav friendship - very difficult, if i had to say naruto and shikamaru or kakashi and guy

[huskymaine]

Unpopular opinion: Kakashi wasn't wrong when he tried to tell Sasuke that he shouldn't seek revenge because he can see how it was dragging Sasuke onto the darkness and effecting his mental state and there's nothing similar at all between Sasuke's revenge and Shikamaru's revenge who had everything planned and wasn't getting consumed by i like Sasuke, and Sasuke leaving the village wasn't Kakashi's fault either, Kakashi's words were actually getting to him but the sound 4 showed up and ruined everything and then took advantage of the fact that Kakashi left for a mission and won't be there to stop them.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

As expected, I strongly agree with it. In fact, I am quite vocal about that topic and made 2 separate post about it, on here and here. I’ll not repeat myself on this post but to summarize the main point of those two posts is :

REVENGE IS NOT WRONG, BUT OBSESSING WITH REVENGE IS HARMFUL

Why? Because one-minded thought (obsession) of revenge made Sasuke like this :

and this 

“I don’t care what happens to me or others as long as I have my revenge”

Dunno about the you guys, but if my kid or someone I love has this kind of mindset, I’ll try to make him look and treasure other things apart from revenge. Because revenge is like addiction. It can consume you, it can make you sacrifice many things that you deemed not as important as revenge, and most importantly, you don’t gain any new from revenge except personal satisfaction and perhaps peaceful mind. The deed is done, the dead stays dead. If you obsessed with revenge to the point that you deemed any other things unimportant, what’s left to you after the revenge is fulfilled. Emptiness. That’s what Kakashi warned to Sasuke and why he desperately wanted Sasuke to look once again on his heart to find anything except his revenge inside him, because for him, Sasuke is not a ball of revenge, but a kid who had future and bond awaits him, unshackled from his past. I am not saying that Kakashi handled it perfectly. Sasuke needs long-term motivation and careful treatment to handle his issue. The thing is, Kakashi has such a limited time for that (I already said about this on my other post iirc).

While I understand those crowd who crave hard-fulfilled revenge, but Naruto ain’t the correct media for that. That’s not the moral lesson that the author tried to deliver. In my observation, in last couple of years entertainment medias like comic or drama who have revenge plot flourished so much. In medias like webtoon, kakaopage, even manga I found tons of titles that has summary like this :

And that’s okay. There’s no harm on fictional hateful chopping-chopping as a treat XD

But when the time Naruto is released, majority of medias, especially kids media, are more accepting at “anti-revenge” as moral lesson. If you think Naruto are extreme about this topic, then look at Hunter x Hunter. There’s a character who has revenge as his main goal too, named Kurapika Kurta. His clan was massacred by Phantom Troupe and his clan members’ eyes are taken because they’re pretty and expensive on underground sale). At some point, Kurapika managed to capture the leader of Phantom Troupe, but the Phantom Troupe gang managed to capture Killua and Gon a.k.a Kurapika’s friends. Both side proposed an exchange, then came this scene :

So here Kurapika has his desire person to avenge on his palm, but he valued his friends so much so he’s willing to trade his dream for his friends’ safety. And the said friends, although they can escape, used this moment to stop Kurapika’s revenge, because they don’t want Kurapika to be a murderer. Compared to any moments in Naruto, that scene above is the most blatant example of “stopping revenge because the characters thought that revenge is wrong”, and the show painted this scene as good and heartwarming moment. 

Personally, while I understand Killua and Gon’s feeling, I can’t help but feel annoyed by them. Mind you, one kid is literal elite assassin since birth and the other kid once used a random person’s life as a bait to grab his opponent’s tag. And they both never felt the loss of someone important to them, then when Gon (the black haired kid) finally experienced it, he went berserk in rage. So like, what’s so wrong with Kurapika became murderer in the world where murder is so normalized? But that’s the lesson that the author tried to instill, so I as audience accept it and search for other media if I want more murder-murdery revenge plot, not forcing my mindset and accusing the author for bad writing while they already made their moral stand clear on the media that they create by their own hands. That’s rude and ungrateful, imo.

Anyway, on the other hand, before Pain arc, Naruto franchise doesn’t have this moral lesson. Team 7 has no problem when Sasuke said that he wanted to kill certain someone, Kakashi gave him his arsenal jutsu and advise him for the sake of his power growth to defeat Itachi, Jiraiya let him has his first fight with Itachi out of respect toward Sasuke’s feeling. There’s no sabotaging on Sasuke’s attempt on revenge like the HxH example above. BUT, when the said obsession of revenge made Sasuke tried to endanger himself and his comrade, that’s the point where Kakashi draw the line and discouraged his revenge. At that plot point, when I put myself in the place of someone who was concerned for Sasuke’s well-being, I can’t help but agree with him completely. I honestly can’t understand those who claim they love Sasuke yet support this kind of self-destructive mindset.

As for whether Sasuke left the village is Kakashi’s fault or not,  I admit that his talk to Sasuke is clumsy and not as impactful as the talk Iruka did to Naruto. But it’s not failed completely. That clumsy talk went through Sasuke’s mind, and he contemplated it from noon till night. Sasuke who on hospital dismissed Sakura and saw Naruto as power measurer, consider them as people whom he doesn’t want to lose.

The main reason why the talk was failed in the end is because Sound 4 deliberately attacked Sasuke when Kakashi is absent. Also means that Sound 4 know Kakashi’s presence potentially can make their mission failed.

Blame Kakashi when the Sound 4 deliberately attempted to move after he went out the picture is unfair, don’t you think? It’s not like he’s to lazy to supervise Sasuke or something, he was assigned to mission and the man didn’t even have much time to recover himself from Tsukuyomi coma. And immediate after he came back from the mission, he immediately tried to track Sasuke, even disregarding direct order from his Hokage. But then the rain came washed all Sasuke’s track and he was too late to arrive on VotE.

Like, guys, what more can he do? What more do you want from him? Why did he have such a bad luck? XD

Why I Love Sakura Haruno

This is not responding to any hate, it's just me sharing my opinion.

She Wasn't Born Into A Prestigious Clan

Sakura was born into a weak, unpopular clan and still became very powerful. She started off with no kekkei genkai or special abilities, and there wasn't really anything she could do. She was almost as hopeless as Rock Lee was as a child. This shows how hard she truly worked to get where she is now, even if she can't compare to her peers that were born with greater potential to become powerful. For example, Sasuke was destined to awaken a Sharingan and Naruto was both an Uzumaki and a Jinchuuriki. Sakura had nothing. Still, she became quite powerful. I think this is particularly stunning, and it's genuinely praiseworthy.

She worked for her power, and she worked hard. When Sakura was a child, she was completely weak. She had her smarts, but she lacked battle skill. We were shown her hard work with Tsunade later on. Although Sakura did start out with the upper hand having great chakra control, it doesn't mean that her journey to achieving a Yin Seal wasn't a long one. Even other Medical Ninja with exceptional chakra control weren't able to do this.

Sakura sometimes even passed out because of how hard she worked. It was shown once during her training with Tsunade, and another time after she healed an injured person. She truly pushed herself to the limit, and it's definitely a reason to at least respect her. I really enjoy characters who had to work harder for their power.

Intelligence

Sakura's definitely intelligent, even if she isn't on par with Shikamaru or Kakashi. In classic Naruto, she explained various things to her teammates and was able to answer all 9 questions in the Chunin Exams without cheating. In addition, these questions were said to be too complicated for a mere genin. This didn't stop Sakura.

In original Naruto, Sakura lacked battle skill since she usually focused on being book smart. She knew practically everything in her grade and even things above her grade. Kakashi even calls Sakura Team 7's sharpest mind. In classic Naruto, Sakura even reminds me of Hermione from Harry Potter. Her intelligence definitely shined through more than anything in her early years.

Sakura was also very intelligent throughout the rest of the series, her analytical skills said to be better than Sasuke's Sharingan's by Sasuke himself. It's notable to mention that she usually depended on outsmarting her opponents in order to trick them. It's also notable to mention that this tactic often worked.

Personality

I really love Sakura's personality. She's

intelligent, confident, and caring. She has a very quick temper, but she loves her friends and puts their needs above her own. I'd say that Sakura's weakness would be her feelings, and it's great to give a character a flaw that hinders them. For example, Hinata. Hinata's weakness is her gentle nature. In my opinion, It makes her more likeable. I like that Sakura has this weakness of letting her feelings get the best of her from time to time.

Sakura is very kind. We all know she is hotheaded and short-tempered, but her kindness does shine through. Although he might've been the enemy, Sakura didn't deny to help someone who was dying during the war. Even though her peers told her it could potentially be a bad idea, she took him in while being cautious at the same time. Sakura is shown being very kind to strangers in particular.

Sakura is also very caring. She cares about Naruto and his dreams to become Hokage, claiming she wouldn't let him die in the Great Ninja War and feeling dejected when he is hurt. In addition, She threatens Sai when he deems Naruto weak, as she has immense faith in the blonde. She cares about the man who became both a traitor and a criminal. What Sakura had for Sasuke was true love, even if it was one-sided. She didn't give up on him because she cared deeply about him and had hope he could still be saved even after he did so many unspeakable things. While it deterred more as Sasuke committed more horrible crimes, I still think Sakura always had a sliver of hope.

Sakura cares more about everyone than herself, and this is an upgrade from when she was young and selfish. She puts herself in harms way, even if it's just for the tiniest distraction. This was shown when she served as a distraction in the fight against Madara, running at him head-on so Sasuke and Naruto could attack. While this can be a liability since a Medical Ninja needs to survive, it shows just how much she cares. It's notable that this might not even kill her because of her quick regeneration. What can I say? Sakura's not perfect. But you know what? She has heart and that's something I admire tremendously.

Her confidence is certainly noteworthy. Sakura is very confident in herself. You can easily tell Sakura is confident just by watching her scenes in the Anime or reading them in the Manga. Sakura has trust in her abilities, and that's also something I tend to favor. I love how she is able to assert herself as well as be certain about her actions.

Her short temper is another one. This is a hit or miss, and is a big reason most people don't like her. Sakura is very hotheaded. She usually gets angry when Naruto voices something derogatory or is perverted and punches him. Most people consider this an act of violence or abuse, but I don't. I mean, you can't deny that he deserves it sometimes.. Her anger dies down pretty quickly, and she ends up brushing off Naruto's statements and smiles. I think this adds a little bit of spiciness, character, and imperfection. Short-tempered characters often bring forth comedy and are interesting and exciting to watch. This is another part of Sakura's personality which I love deeply. But, like I said before, this is pretty much a hit or miss and some people do not respect this.

Sakura is also determined. In The Forest Of Death, she takes on enemies much stronger than her so she can protect her teammates until they wake up. She needed a lot of help in this fight, but it's exemplary that she put herself in danger for Sasuke and Naruto. In addition, her determination is also apparent when she asks Tsunade to be her sensei. She works really hard until she finally becomes powerful. She even acquired a hate for losing after her training, making her intent on defeating her opponent.

Abilities

Medical Ninjutsu is a favorite of mine. I've always wanted to be involved in medicine, so I appreciate all of the techniques and helpfulness shown in Naruto. I also enjoy watching Sakura and Tsunade's brute force be put into play. It's always exciting, not to mention Taijutsu is another favorite of mine.

Sakura is one of the best medical ninja out there. She mastered a rare technique at a very young age. This is the Mystical Palm Technique. Sakura was able to master it in roughly three months, while other medics weren't able to master it at all. Amazingly, she is also able to form a Yin Seal, which is even more rare than the Mystical Palm Technique. As I said before, even Shizune (A very skilled Medic) could not form the Yin Seal.

Furthermore, She has various powerful healing jutsu such as the 100 Healings Jutsu. The 100 Healings Jutsu allows Sakura to continue fighting while her body heals itself. This means she does not even have to stop to think about it or weave handsigns. In my opinion, this is a very useful and interesting jutsu. Sakura can withstand deathblows using this technique.

Speaking of the 100 Healings Jutsu, Sakura saved up chakra for three years. At one point in time, Tsunade forbade Sakura to perform surgeries or battle. This is because building up chakra in order to form the Yin seal drains the user's normal reserves of chakra. However, Sakura is actually able to divert some of this chakra back into her normal reserves and she is able to perform surgeries and fight again. It's unknown how she accomplished this, but it had to take some hard work and focus. It also had to take some intelligence to even think of it.

Sakura was very supportive during the Pain Invasion arc and the War arc. She summoned Katsuyu, who traveled around to aid fallen citizens and shinobi in both arcs. She successfully did her duty and mended the wounds of many people. Countless citizens would have died without Sakura's expertise and dedication. Every Medical Ninja had to weigh in greatly for these two arcs, showing just how serious they were.

As for Taijutsu, I think it's amazing how both Sakura and Tsunade fight. The women obtain their monstrous strength from transferring chakra into their fists and sometimes their legs. Another Taijutsu user, Choji, was able to defeat Jirobo by transferring his chakra into his fist and punching him. This proves just how effective this technique is. This also requires a vast amount of skill in Chakra Control, something that Sakura was shown having from the very beginning. In addition, Sakura is pretty good at evading attacks. I guess she was just destined to gain monstrous strength.

Growth

This is commonly brought up. Sakura used to be weak, annoying, and selfish. All bad traits. As Sakura works and betters herself, she eventually becomes a powerful woman who thinks of others above herself.

In the early episodes of classic Naruto, Sakura badmouths Naruto. This is a line even Sasuke knew was going too far. After Sasuke calls her annoying, Sakura is able to sit down and sympathize with Naruto. She knows partly how he feels now, and vows to be nicer to him. In Shippuden when she is older, she always put her faith in Naruto. She would never badmouth Naruto again, and got angry when others such as Sai did. By this point, Sakura truly cares for Naruto and understands him more than she did before.

Another thing substandard about Sakura in classic Naruto would probably be her love towards Sasuke Uchiha. This was a typical 13-year-old crush and you can't deny it got annoying easily. She was obsessed with Sasuke as a young teen, but grew out of it once she got older. She has always loved Sasuke, but she was more calm and less boy crazy. There are scenes where Sasuke causes Sakura to blush, but that's nothing compared to how she acted as a young teen. Her feelings develop into true love, even if she only had a crush on him because of his calm attitude and good looks before. She truly cares about him and wants to save him in Shippuden, even if she doubts it sometimes.

Unlike when she was younger, Sakura often cares more about others than she does herself. This is shown a few times throughout the series. As I said before, she usually uses herself as a distraction so her teammates can attack. Moreover, she is not as selfish as she was regarding her feelings. She now takes other's personal feelings into account instead of her own. While she still does focus on her feelings sometimes, she's not entirely egocentric as she was before. Great Development.

Now on to her power. Most don't deny that Sakura was utterly weak during Classic Naruto, but in Shippuden we were able to see how strong she had gotten thanks to her hard work. She gained brute strength, evasion skills, and advanced Medical Ninjutsu. All of these are useful and supportive when in battle. Sakura doesn't need to be rescued as often as she did before, and it's amazing she finally became a bit more independent as well as more powerful.

Bonds

Sakura is close friends with the two main characters, so of course her relationships come off as likeable. She is very supportive of our protagonist, Naruto, and puts a great deal of credence in him. Even if she couldn't, Sakura has always tried to understand and sympathize with Naruto. She believes in him and is there for him if he might need her. She does lash out at him sometimes, and he can be unknowingly rude to her, but not every relationship can be perfect. Naruto is determined to keep Sakura safe and is in love with her for quite a while. I think her relationship with Naruto is more notable than her relationship with Sasuke. Seeing Naruto and Sakura together is never a bad thing.

Next, her relationship with Sasuke. This is probably the most obvious one, as she is married to him. A big part of Sakura's motivation to get stronger involved bringing Sasuke back to the village. Sadly, she was not strong enough to match up to him and instead trusted Naruto would save him. Even when she tried to kill Sasuke, she couldn't do it because she loved him too much. Sakura had very deep feelings for him, even if that love was only one-sided. She has always wanted to be acknowledged by him since her youth, much like Naruto wanted to be acknowledged by this village. Finally, Sasuke did acknowledge her. He conveys that she is now someone people can depend on. Additionally, Sasuke accepts that no matter what he did to her she was always going to love him.

I feel like this next one is unpopular, but I adore the relationship between Sakura and Sai. Sakura started off angry at Sai for calling her ugly, but later tried to be more open-minded. This failed after Sai insulted Sasuke, of course. Later, Sai wished to learn more about human bonds and Sakura showed compassion towards him and aided him in this quest. Sakura and Sai's relationship is pretty sincere in my opinion. She helps him to understand people and bonds more, and they even rescue one another and share intimate moments. Not to mention Sakura showed interest in Sai.

Next is her rival and best friend, Ino. From the very beginning, Ino and Sakura were shown to be very competitive towards each other. It wasn't really surprising that we later found out they were childhood friends. Sakura was ridiculed for her large forehead, but Ino encouraged her to embrace her forehead rather than cover it with her bangs. Sakura continues to be shy about her forehead, and Ino constantly had to tell her she was just making it a big deal. Sakura and Ino become close friends, Ino helping her to become more confident around others. Eventually, Sakura decides to tell Ino that she has a crush on Sasuke. They become rivals at this point, competing in everything. Despite this, there are times where they really show their care for eachother. One of these moments include Ino fixing Sakura's hair after she cut it in the Forest Of Death. Also, let's mention that Sakura wanted to be like Ino when she was younger. If that isn't cute, I don't know what is.

Finally, her relationship with her senseis. Kakashi and Sakura are very understanding of each other. Kakashi is very protective of his student, reassures her, holds her in high regard, and never judges her for her mistakes. Sakura in return worries for him, shows him respect, defends him, and isn't afraid to tell him about her feelings. This is exactly what a sensei and student relationship should look like. A teacher who never belittles the student and a student who respects the teacher. Furthermore, there are many characters who understand Sakura, but Kakashi really takes the cake with this one. He is the one who understood her feelings and the reasons behind her mistakes.

Now the next teacher: Tsunade. Tsunade is really the one to thank for Sakura's strength and skillful Medical Ninjutsu. Sakura and Tsunade respect one another, and Tsunade compliments her for her achievements. Sakura always listened to Tsunade, and took her battle advice. Moreover, she also inherited some of Tsunade's views and ideals. Although Sakura was weak when she first started training, Tsunade acknowledged her potential and took her under her wing.

Teamwork

Sakura is proficient in teamwork. Whether it be with her squad or one other person. Chiyo and Sakura made a great team, as Sakura made up for Chiyo's weaknesses and Chiyo made up for Sakura's. Chiyo did not have enough strength to destroy Hiruko, but Sakura did. Sakura had trouble evading Sasori's fast attacks, so Chiyo took control of her body. I really admired the way these two worked so well together. Another notable team involving Sakura would be her and Obito. Obito and Sakura worked hard to retrieve Sasuke from an alternate dimension. Obito was the one who could open gateways to the other dimension, but he did not have enough chakra to do so. Sakura helps out by activating her Yin Seal and pouring her chakra into Obito. With this, Sasuke is able to save himself.

She does stand in the shadow of others, but Sakura is a phenomenal character. I personally feel her flaws and mistakes make her relatable, which makes her a character that you can be comfortable watching. I feel bad when I see Sakura being hated on for her tiny flaws but never given the benefit of the doubt. I believe this is because she is the main heroine and is judged and looked at more than the other women. In all honesty, Sakura's strengths shine through more than her flaws. I feel so inspired when I watch Sakura or think about her character. She proves you can change yourself for the better. She proves everyone makes mistakes. She proves you can truly be confident in yourself. And last but not least, She proves it's okay to show emotion. She's amazing. Truly.

Thank you for your time. If you dislike or even hate Sakura, I don't mind if you share why in the comments or in a DM! I respect everyone's opinion, and all I'm asking is for you to respect mine.

Ink Flowers - Chapter 1

Hey there! So after watching Shippuden and mainly creating this Tumblr to commemorate my love for the series... my Tumblr seemed to lean towards my other interests... nevertheless! I’ve recently gotten into the Saiino ship again, but sadly there aren’t too many fanfics out there for these too... good ones that is. So since I’m a writer (I use the term loosely), I decided to at least try at writing my rendition of the two together... here goes nothing! Hope you'll enjoy! (I intend on continuing this series) 

Chapter 2 here

“Pfft.” Ino exhaled, blowing a tuft of her hair out of her face, just for it to flow back were it had just resigned a few seconds prior.

On any other day when Ino Yamanaka was not on a mission, you could find her behind the register working in her family’s flower shop.

Ino rested her head on her elbow from her boredness. Business had been running slow today, as per usual… other than Kakashi Sensei’s usual purchase of a bouquet of yellow lilies, and some dark red carnations. (The yellow lilies, meaning thankfulness, the dark red carnations, meaning love). Who he got these flowers for every day you might ask? Ino never knew. She was just surprised he was able to set aside time to wander the village being Hokage and all.

Nevertheless, he was the only customer so far today, and Ino was starting to become bored being all by her lonesome.

She started to stare out the flower shop’s window. It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon, which made her even more irritated she had to be working.

She bit her lip and looked down at her nails tapping the surface of the counter. You would expect Choji or Shikamaru to visit her but lately, they had become quite caught up in responsibilities involving their clan. Ino didn’t particularly like to think she was bitter about the whole situation… but bitter certainly was a good word.

Ino truly liked working in her family’s shop, socializing with customers, working with the flowers, all that good stuff… but the shifts were becoming more and more tedious, and it was obvious as to why.

It seemed everyone around was doing something with their lives. Her teammates, her friends, the entire village it felt was succeeding past her, not even giving her a chance to catch up to them. Hell, even Shino was starting to shadow in the AMBU’S tracking division!!!

Ino and most of her peers were 18 now. The Fourth Shinobi war had only ended a year ago… she had only lost her father a year ago.

Although almost everyone had become a repercussion of the war, it seemed as though they were handling it better than her. Everyone was able to pick up with their lives and move on, continuing to do more exciting things.

Everyone except her that is.

Naruto was fulfilling his dream of becoming the next Hokage, Hinata was finally in a relationship with the idiot blonde himself… even Sakura finally dating her childhood Uchiha crush, who was returning to the village because of her.

Ino rolled her eyes just thinking about it. “What a bunch of bs.” she muttered to no one in particular, except the flowers maybe.

Sakura was Ino’s best friend … at least … she used to be. The two had become a lot closer ever been since Sasuke had left the village, but Ino couldn’t help but question if it would change now that the rogue shinobi was returning. The reason why the two kunoichis stopped being friends in the first place was because of that stupid Sharingan user.

Back when they were in academy when Sakura was picked on for that HUGE forehead of hers, the two kunoichis had become friends. Ino had often told off Sakura’s bullies and from then on, the two of them were inseparable. Ino helped Sakura have more confidence in herself, and to embrace that huge forehead of hers. Ino even gave Sakura one of her headbands to push back those bangs of hers she was using to hide it .

And just like that, it all changed.

Just like many other kunoichis, Ino and Sakura started to develop feelings for the Sasuke Uchiha. Could you blame them? He was a handsome, and a skilled genin. Not to mention he had this cool, mysterious vibe to him that had all the girls drooling. It was alluring. To be fair though, Ino did like Sasuke first, but never really pursued her interest in him until after Sakura admitted she had liked him as well, and because of it, Sakura explained they couldn't be friends any longer. Apparently, they couldn't both like Sasuke. Certainly, that was unheard of. After Sakura cut ties with Ino, even giving back the headband Ino gave her, winning Sasuke Uchiha’s heart became an obsession for Ino.

Deep down, Ino didn’t like to compete with Sakura or anyone for that matter - especially over a boy. The true reason Ino “competed” with Sakura to win Sasuke’s heart - even going to the lengths of growing her hair so that Sasuke would be more attracted to her - was to make Sakura feel the pain she had inflicted on Ino when Sakura told her they could no longer be friends. She made Ino feel unneeded, left behind, and especially - betrayed.  

Ino didn’t notice the tears welling up in her eyes as she continued to tap her nails on the counter mindlessly.

No matter how much Ino tried to convince herself that she didn’t care, or that she didn’t need Sakura, it hurt her that the truth was that Sakura was the one who didn’t need her anymore.

It stung when their friendship ended.

Ino, was the one that gave her all the confidence she had today, she was the one to nurture and care for the stupid pink flower that Sakura bloomed to be today!

And to think billboard brow didn’t even thank me for it! 

Ino slammed her fist on the counter in frustration, letting the hair fall in front of her face.

A tear had slipped onto the counter, but Ino hadn’t paid it much mind.

As of now, Ino and the Pink Haired kunoichi were close, but she couldn’t tell how the severity of their relationship would change with Sasuke coming back and all.

In the past, Sasuke was solely the trophy in the competition betwixt the two. While Ino lost interest in Sasuke as a person a long time ago, her interest in winning him as a prize against Sakura had increased. Winning Sasuke over was winning against Sakura… at what this game they were playing all these years Ino never really knew.

“You're strong-willed, Dependable and responsible...

Choji and Shikamaru...They're total goof-offs. Keep them in line...

And don't let Sakura beat you...in ninjutsu or romance”.

“I’m sorry Asuma Sensei...” Ino whispered to herself as another tear slipped, remembering his last words he said to her.

“I tried.” Ino she whispered as she wiped her tears.

Just then, she heard the chime above the door, meaning someone had entered the shop.

After quickly wiping the tears from her face, Ino shot her head up and smiled, exclaiming almost as if it was rehearsed :

“Hello! Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower shop! How may I help you!?” Ino greeted the customer.

When she opened her eyes she realized it was only Sai.

She untensed a little. Sai wasn’t that new to their tightly knit group of theirs, but still, she hadn’t really talked to him much.

She blushed slightly remembering their first conversation when he had called her beautiful.

It’s only been a couple years later, and yet she can’t seem to remember ever exchanging another word with him following the incident… it was quite sad actually.

The same pale ex-root boy stood in front of her, with the same simple smile he gave her when they had first met, as he gave everyone.

“Hello beautiful, I am here to buy flowers.” He said greeting her.

She could feel her cheeks tinge with color at the nickname as she did a slight little shimmy.

It seems the nickname has stuck with her… even though for some reason it didn't feel all too genuine. Well, as long as it pissed off Sakura considering he referred to her as ugly, she was fine with the nickname. After all, it was the little victories that counted… right?

She laughed lightly to herself.

“Well obviously Sai, this is a flower shop. Any kind in particular?” she smiled leaning over the counter a little more. He turned to observe the bouquets of vibrantly colored flowers before him, scanning each one carefully. It didn’t seem to help much though.

“I-I don’t know really…” he began.

“Well what’s the occasion?” she smirked, interested. He turned to give her another one of his smiles.

“I wish to draw a subject of beauty for my new composition.” he explained. Ino furrowed her eyebrow at him, slightly disappointed there wasn’t any tea to spill today.

“Listen, I’m not complaining or anything… but you do know you could just go outside and pick a bunch of dandelions for free… right?” she asked him.

Sai solely shook his head. “I am after something more vigorous to portray, I do not mind paying.” he assured her. She simply nodded her head in response as the pale boy turned his head back to the bouquets. After a moment or two, he picked one up, and turned to Ino. “These will do.” he told her.

Ino looked from the flower to Sai, and from Sai to the flowers, with a distasteful look on her face.

“Is something… wrong… do you… not approve?” Sai questioned confused as he looked down at the flowers in his hands. There didn’t seem to be anything particularly wrong to him. They were flowers, weren't they?

“Blue Bells are a pretty flowers Sai, but they represent humility. People usually buy them when they are trying to apologize to someone.” Ino told him.

It seemed as though Ino’s explanation of her distaste still didn’t help Sai understand.

“F-flowers have meanings?” he stuttered looking down at the bluebells in his hands.  

“Why of course!!!” Ino exclaimed, walking around the counter towards him excitedly.

“Candypuff's for example-” Ino paused, pointing to a bouquet of white dainty flowers a few feet across from them “-means indifference.” she told him. He stared down at the flowers in his hands still.

“...And what is humility like?” he questioned, looking up to her curiously. She was about to ask him what the fuck he was talking about - until she remembered that he was still new to emotions, being from the root and all. From what she understood, he had a lot of difficulty understanding the concept of human socializing, empathy, and emotions in general. It seemed odd for such a confident, talkative girl such as herself. But really, could you blame him? The foundation trains genin and or younger with the potential to become apart of the ANBU black ops to suppress their emotions to the point where they don’t exist, not to mention every connection you have to the world is cut off. You have no name, you have no family, you don’t even have a gravestone when you die. Your sole purpose it to protect the leaf, and connections get in the way of that. Therefor, it's no wonder the guy has trouble understanding his feeling , for about all of his life, he’s been taught that he shouldn't have any.

She sighed patiently. Ino loved talking to people about things she was passionate about, especially when it came to flowers, so therefor she didn’t mind explaining it to him at all.

Ino paused for a few seconds, trying to come up with the best explanation for him.

“Humility… humility is when you feel vulnerable because of something you might have done that you regret, you especially feel humility at another person’s reaction to it. For example, if Naruto spilled a bowl of ramen on his pants, you would laugh because it looks like he pissed himself, and Naruto would then feel humility.” Ino explained, adding a smile at the end. He nodded his head. “I think I understand.” He stated simply. He then turned to the other bouquets of flowers.

“And what do those mean?” Sai asked pointing to a dark red bouquet of roses. “Those mean sadness.” She responded to him. “Oh… like you were when I came in.” Sai blurted. Ino practically choked on air, her eyes widening at his comment. She blinked once or twice, comprehending that he had seen her upset. He turned his head to the side.

“May I ask what you were upset about?” Sai asked innocently.

Ino stirred uncomfortable, knowing even if she told him, he wouldn't understand. He’d ask her why she felt that way, although she didn’t really understand it either to begin with.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Sai, i’m perfectly fine.” she defended herself. He gave her a shrug. “Whatever you say, Beauty.” he responded every word laced with doubt, even if it was unintentional.

Sai turned back to the flowers. “... What do these mean?” Sai asked pointing to yellow roses. Ino cleared her throat, glad he jumped to another subject.

“Comradeship.” Ino stated. He turned to her with a smile on his face.

“I am familiar with this term.” he stated content. Ino smiled back at him as well.

Sai’s eyes shifted to something over Ino’s shoulder. “And those… what do those mean?” he asked, pointing to something behind her.

She turned around, her eyes drawn to the bright red bouquet of roses on the counter. She had been assorting them for some guy who had ordered them for his girlfriend.

“Love.” she stated in a flat tone at the thought of her love life being so nonexistent. She wished someone had order flowers for her. ...It seemed the bitterness was kicking in again

“...What does that mean?” he asked once more.

Ino bit her lip. That one was simply hard to explain, most likely because she hadn’t known what it felt like yet either.

“Well… it’s a little hard to explain Sai.” She turned around to find his curiosity filled face. She tried to form an explanation of it, in a way that even he would understand. “You see, it’s when you like someone... a lot. When you care for them.” she told him with a nod.

“... So you can say, I love my friends?” Sai puzzled.

“Mhmmm, well yes - but the love I’m talking about is more for a significant other… like a girlfriend or boyfriend.” Ino continued. Nevertheless, Sai blinked absentmindedly.

“Someone you like like...like Hinata and Naruto for example!” Ino exclaimed.

“Oh, I see. So if someone is dating another, he or she is in love.” Sai nodded. Ino pushed her fingers together and did her little shimmy.

“Well not necessarily… just because you’re dating someone doesn't mean you love them. It’s-it’s a very hard feeling to explain. You’ll know it when you feel it Sai.” she stated. Sai tilted his head to the left.

“Have you ever been in love before beautiful?” he asked her.

Ino tensed as she looked up at him, but the way he stared at her so intensely made her shift her eyes to the floor again.

“No, I don’t think I have yet Sai.”

A silence formed between the two.

“These will suffice.” Sai stated, breaking the silence. Ino looked up at him, to find him holding the yellow roses. A smile was formed on Sai's face, as well as Ino.  “Of course.” Ino responded taking the flowers from Sai, and walking back to the counter.

Comradeship huh?

“It was interesting to learn that flowers having meanings. In a way, I guess you can say they are like art. There is more meaning than meets the eye?” Sai concluded, then looking to Ino for her response as she was ringing the bouquet up. After a moment or two, Ino’s eyes shifted towards Sai who had the same smile on his face that he had walking. She liked that he was conversing with her about it.

“Hhmm. I guess you’re right Sai.” She nodded. She handed him the bouquet of delicate roses.

“Here, don’t bother paying for them, they’re on the house. After all, it is for research anyways. A respectable cause if you ask me.” She smiled at him. He smiled back gratefully.

“Thank you for your kindness, beautiful.” He said as he held the flowers, turning around. “Mhmm.” She muttered, looking down at her now-empty hands. She began tapping her nails again on the countertop.

“Beauty, Sakura once told me about - well, I forget what she called it.”

Ino looked up at Sai who held the flower shop door open slightly. She felt the warm September breeze of Konoha flow in through the door, and wash over her, giving her the chills for a moment or two as Sai seemed to be thinking.

“Ah yes… lying as she called it.” He said looking over to Ino. She knitted her eyebrows together slightly confused about what he was talking about.

“You lied when I asked you if you were upset, although...I don’t know why exactly.”

Ino almost choked on air again she was caught off guard.

“Forehead told me that sometimes, people lie to protect their friends’ feelings… then again… I still don’t understand how lying about your feelings would protect anyone else’s. It is not good for you. You should talk to the person that is causing you to be upset.” He explained to her, concluding with his smile that never really reached his eyes. Ino’s voice got caught in her throat at his words.

Sai then proceeded to look to the ground again. “Women are a most confusing gender.” he muttered to himself.

And just like that, Sai had left Ino all to herself, and to her thoughts.

She tapped her fingers against the counter, in a calm tempo, as she drifted in thought over Sai’s words to her.

She looked to the flowers on her right, that sat on the counter beside her, looking at the rose petals that had seemed to fall off.

Naruto and Boruto by Nahi Pau

Anime » Naruto Rated: M, Spanish, Family, Words: 3k+, Favs: 1, Published: Apr 27, 2017 Updated: Oct 4, 2020

1Chapter 1: Naruto as a good father

The Uzumaki family

After a few months since the accident at the welcoming ceremony for new applicants to the ninja academy happened, everything was normal, but nevertheless Naruto had many occupations being hokage, thinking over and over again what Boruto said "Daddy I I just want you to pay attention to me", since there were many complaints from his son; he hasn't gone to class and when he goes he falls asleep or is in another room playing video games, he hasn't arrived at his house on time and if he didn't go to another he would play pranks on his teachers, almost a little Naruto.

He was in his office at 11 at night, everyone had already left but he was close to finishing, he sighed and said:

-Fuck a mini me, I remember that I used to do that when I was a kid, I wonder what I can do? I remember that I did that because I wanted attention but I have already explained that I have a lot to do

Suddenly Shikamaru enters his office with Hinata bringing her with a tremendous scare

-What's wrong with them? Something happened, and the children? It's too late.

-Boruto is not here, I tried to search and I can't find it

-Don't worry, I'll find that kid with the wise way..., I already found him

Tell me where he is so I can go get him.

-You know Hinata, go with your father, surely Himawari is there, I'll take care of going after Boruto

-But Naruto you are working hard, it is better that I take care of this, just tell me where he is

-I'm his father after all, I'll finish and I want to talk to Boruto, don't worry I'll pick them up later

-Ok, it's fine (surrendered to the calm look)

When he leaves the room, Naruto was looking through the window thoughtfully, Shikamaru sees him and approaches: -Naruto, do you want to talk?

-It's just that..., I don't know what to do, I'll go for him but I don't know what to tell him

-I see, well you'll see Boruto is at that age of wanting attention and he's jealous because you're here I'm not saying this is bad but he's going overboard, I say it because of what he's done

-And what would you do?

-Well, being a father (going to the door and before he leaves to tell him), every father guides his children along the right path and therefore we have the responsibility to discipline them, love them and tell them what is good and what is not (he closed the door)

I see, I do not have much experience Boruto but I will do my best to be a good father even if it hurts me, now, I will go for you

Meanwhile, Boruto was by the trains, he was sitting playing a video game, thinking what Shikaday told him "and if you give him time, your father is busy maintaining this city, don't you think you are a little unfair"

-At least you have a father who doesn't have this obsession (he said to the wind since there was no one there, he went to bed and said) I'm not worried about anything after all, my father must be too busy to worry and my mother doesn't he will worry because I think he smelled me and dialed me and locked myself in my room

-So…, no one will come looking for you (standing in front of him a step away, having his arms crossed)

Boruto was petrified, he got up quickly and took a few steps back when he heard something annoying and intimidating

-Boruto!, it's better that you don't even try, let's go home, there we can talk seriously (in an authoritative voice)

-Dad, what… are you doing here?

-I'm here for a spoiled brat and it's better that we leave before I get angrier with you NOW!

Boruto obeyed, since he didn't want to anger him anymore, they walked away to take away a little anger but his face looked thoughtful and serious, he was convinced that a bit of a heavy hand wouldn't hurt him since his behavior was not one of the good ones Naruto kept thinking about it but Boruto thought "What are we going to talk about? Has something happened to him in the office?" he stood up and suddenly a tremor came to him as if something was going to happen to him and he thought "no he wouldn't do it, it's impossible, he would never hit me", there Naruto noticed that he stopped, approached and said: Boruto, it's It's better for you that you don't fall behind.

Boruto and Naruto were already close, but they were still thinking, when Naruto opened the door, he ordered him to go to his office sitting down and not to try anything, he did it without saying a word. He sat down and felt time pass slowly, after so much waiting, Naruto arrived.

-And tell me Boruto, do you know why you are here? (walking to his coat rack to put down his cape, then walking in front of his desk to lean on it, standing, crossing his arms)

-No, old man, tell me, you're killing me with so much suspense

- (Sigh) look Boruto many times I have told you not to get into trouble, in thousands of words and many times we have talked about it and what have you told me...

-That I won't get in trouble anymore

-And I've covered you (approaches Boruto)

-…

-I thought so, look at Boruto, since you don't understand it in words, I think you'll understand better in another way..., drop your pants now

Boruto was sweating, he couldn't believe it

-Get up and take off your pants

He began to tremble, when he got up, he began to say pleas:

-No, dad, we can talk about it, I'll behave, I swear, dad.

-That's what you should have thought from the beginning, don't you think?

- Dad, no, I don't want to.

-And you keep disobeying, (pulls down his pants and boxer shorts, puts a chair next to his desk and in a blink of an eye puts it on his knees), this hurts me more than it hurts you but you must understand that doing everything what you have done will lead to bad consequences, plas, plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas

-Ya papa, too, ayy, duele papa,

Tell me, what have you done to make you look like this?

- ..

-I think he still hasn't understood, well..., plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas, are you going to tell me?

-haaa, not anymore dad please not anymore

-Boruto, I'm asking you and you don't answer me

-ahhaaay, for sleeping in clllassseee, for going to the pin .. tttaaa, for juuugaaarr instead of doing my obligaggaaactionions, already dad, I can't stand it anymore

-What else?

-For, it hurts dad, for playing pranks on, haaay, my teachers, for not arriving at caassssaaa on time

-plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas plas, I need to say for worrying your mom and worrying me, we are your parents and we love you and I do all this for your good with the intention that you be a good man tomorrow, get up and go to the corner, and don't worry that if we don't start from scratch

He waited 10 minutes for Boruto to calm down, he wanted to comfort him, because he left his buttocks very red, almost red hot, but he had to behave firmly and authoritatively, he ordered him to lean on his desk and told him:

-You already confessed it but to give you a few more reminders so that you really don't do it and think about it three times before making a slob, this will hurt a little more, I suggest you don't put your hands

- (I only heard a belt) not anymore...

slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap

-YAAA!, IT HURTS, NOT SO HARD

-Hold on a little longer slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap

When he saw him cry with his face destroyed for the punishment, he sat down on the armchair he has in his office and sat him on his legs hugging him

-Now son, this really hurt me more than you, because you think I've never punished you

-It hurts, it hurts a lot (crying profusely)

-Okay, champion from tomorrow I will be a better father I already showed you right now but from tomorrow we are going to change things, I promise I will spend more time with you

-the dice in haaay…., it hurts

-jijijiji…., si Boruto

-You didn't have to prove it to me like that.

-Boruto you know well that this is not done, I will do it many times if you continue with those behaviors for me it is not easy but you are my son and I will guide you on the right path, now to sleep I have to go for the girls

-I don't want to get rid of you yet

Naruto smiled at him and said: ok, I'll take you to your room, tomorrow we'll discuss your punishment

-heee!, but it's not enough for you to leave me with a red butt

-Boruto!, stop saying nonsense and go to sleep

She put his pajamas on him and laid him on his stomach, the boy fell asleep in a flash

She was already on her way to her father-in-law's house to pick them up, Hinata was still awake with Himawari asleep in her arms, thinking "Naruto and Boruto, what are you doing? Naruto is late, I guess something bad happened, but I can only trust and…., Naruto? Where is Boruto?, Is he okay?

-Yes Hinata, I left him at home, surely he is well asleep

-Where was it?

-In the old trains, where there is no one

- (sigh) it's good that he's fine, then I'll see with him..

-It's better that you don't even try, (blush), we talked and I can trust that he won't do anything bad, well in a while

-What happened?

-Well, let's say a little heavy-handed

- (Surprised) Naruto, you never…

-I know but I didn't know what to do anymore, we talked about his pranks and he told me "I won't do it anymore", he did one or the other but then he did many

-I understand, you didn't want to build a tower for him to destroy

-Exactly, I feel very guilty but I know I did the right thing

-Of course yes, it's good that you put a stop to it

-I told him that it hurt me more than him, anyway I am his father and I love him very much

-Yes, then he's asleep, the poor guy surely fell asleep

-Well Hinata, let's go, let's rest (caressing Himawari in Hinata's arms)

-I'll take her, let's go

-'—'-

The next morning, Boruto woke up, and when he wanted to move his cannon hurt, he got up as best he could and saw himself in the mirror, his buttocks had marks, he got dressed and put on loose clothes, in a few minutes Hinata shouted "already This is breakfast, let's eat ", he went down to the dining room, when he arrived he saw his father sitting reading and his mother was serving:

-Come on Boruto, it will cool down

-Good morning (he said listlessly and with a slightly quiet voice)

-How did you sleep?

… (He must have told you, I think so) well

-Sit down Boruto

Naruto: How are you feeling?

Boruto:… (sonrojado)

Naruto: Since you're here, your punishment will be for a month of not going out, you're going to study every day and I'll know because on Fridays I'll give you an exam, if I see that you didn't study then you know what will happen to you, I'll confiscate you the cell phone and video games and you will help your mother with household chores

-But dad that's very unfair

Naruto: I don't think so, that's fair, I almost forgot, it's better that you don't even get comfortable

-I have a choice, it hurts a lot

Naruto: ¡ Boruto!

- (he stood still shyly) yes dad

Naruto: When we finish eating breakfast, we're going to have punishment training so you have a whole month busy

-I will be a ninja, obviously I have to train

-Yes, it's good that you understand

2: SHUNIN EXAMS

EPISODE 2

It had been a few months, Boruto since that day, he behaved better and was in a better mood since almost every day he had training with his father. Naruto, as he promised, tried to be a better father for his family.

In those days, they were the last ones to finish school passing an exam, everyone was anxious, working on their techniques, in it, Naruto taught Boruto the rasengan, it was not so easy, on the contrary more than he does not have the fox of the 9 tails, but in a few days he was able to dominate it even if it was slight.

One day, he went to his father's office, like every day, but before playing he heard a scientist telling him his latest invention so that he could add it to the exams, but Naruto did not pass it, telling him that he wants them to make an effort and get the best of them, if they used that they wouldn't take out their potential, the scientist was defeated, and Naruto watched him leave with a nervous smile saying "sorry". When he saw Boruto see the scientist leave: -Boruto, I'm going right now just let me stretch

-ok dad, when we finish we go for some hamburgers

-I don't think so, your mom and Himawari will wait for us for dinner

-Alright

They went to train, as usual, but in his training he saw that he still couldn't do it like his father's and he became desperate, in that he only remembered the scientist and his invention.

When they finished dinner, he was in his room and he imagined his father proud when he won his exam, so he went out the window and went to the scientist's laboratory. When he arrived I explained to him so that he would change to explain how that wristband worked.

In that, his father had seen his progress, he was proud, and in the tests Boruto's team won, but when Naruto saw something suspicious in the last test, he was disappointed, he did not want what his father had done to be real. son, I walk towards him with all the public acclaiming Boruto, I grab his hand to give him a supposed greeting but in those I grab his hand hard, lowering his sleeve. His strong boy had cheated, he was so surprised and above all disappointed, he disqualified him giving credit to the opponent.

The rest, it had happened so fast, we already know what happened after that so, after that, at his house, they had dinner without omitting words, when Boruto finished, Naruto stopped him:

-Where do you think you are going?

-I'm going to my room, I'm tired (saying it with his ingenuity)

-I see, but we still need to discuss about those exams

-(In that I sweat cold) dad, don't you think it was too much, let's say I saved them

-To my office, we will discuss it there

-But..

-I have already said Boruto or do you prefer that we skip the talk and do it here and now

In that he runs away with those scared eyes, when he leaves his sight of Naruto, Hinata hugs him:

-Now my love, calm down, I know you did wrong but calm down, remember that it is bad to be angry if... (in that he sees Himawari) they are going to talk

-I know, but I'm not very happy

-(Gives him a little kiss on the forehead) Will the talk be strong? (Naruto understood from Himawari and confirmed it by giving him a yes sign)

-Ok, when we finish we will go with my friend Kiba

Hima: yes, I haven't seen Akamaru for a long time

With a big smile that melted her parents' hearts when they saw their little girl, Naruto goes and picks her up playing with her, giving her little kisses. In a few minutes they had withdrawn from her giving Naruto a goodbye kiss. They closed the door and in seconds she remembered what she had to do:

Kurama: What are you going to do Naruto?

-I really don't want to get to my office

-Naruto, that brat saved us but he cheated

-Yes, I know, even if he doesn't want to, I have to guide him

-Do what you want to control it

Naruto sighs, and heads to his office. When Boruto doesn't hear voices from down there, he was really nervous, thinking that he had to think better before cheating, his nerves made him sweat a lot from his hands, he stood up and sat down but he couldn't handle the guilt he brought as well as his anxiety, in that he hears the door where Naruto is seen, Boruto sits down to be submerged in the chair, Naruto only rests his hands on his desk pretending to sit on it:

-Well Boruto, you tell me why I wouldn't punish you (Boruto didn't speak) yes, there with the bad guys you did your part, that every ninja does it but then, I want to understand why my son who defeated those people cheated before

-Sorry dad, I didn't... it was something stressful that the rasengan didn't come out

-And from there you thought about it? Or did you already have that wristband

-When I get better

-Ok, I hope that with what has just happened you have realized that the effort is better (Boruto wanted to get up) or not young man, from now on and I hope that you never do it again in your life and I have my method (takes out the belt where he paled) with this it will be more than understood that cheating is never done

In that he gets up well and points to his desk, Boruto closed his eyes very hard, really thinking that he wanted to go back in time so as not to cheat, Naruto waited patiently for him, I involuntarily went to the desk.

-Well Boruto, you're going to lean on the desk, taking off your pants like boxers (Naruto saw him do that but very slowly, when he finished taking off his clothes he positioned himself closing his eyes, leaving Naruto behind making him more nervous) it's better to start

And without preamble the hard spanking began, and when it started, he was crying because of the severe spanking he was giving him, he moved, writhed and Naruto put his hand on Boruto's back: -I think about giving you until I think that the other you won't even think about it

-Yaaa, papiii nooo¡!, no maaassss, duuueeeleeeee, no lo hareee

-Yes, in that I will make sure that it does not even go through that little head

- Stay away from us, plss, who will understand

Boruto at the same time that he did not feel it on his butt, another and another belt came, that he felt that each time the pain multiplied to the point that it burned more, where he stopped talking to cry, he could not speak because the pain came right away belt making him scream. When Naruto left the belt next to his desk, Boruto was going to get up but in that he gave him a hard spank with his hand.

-Where do you think you were going if the punishment hasn't finished yet?

-Paaaapi nooo, I can't stand it anymore

-It will only be 20, hold on a bit, you have it well deserved young man, in this part I don't want you to move or put a hand or I'll give you two more, I would tell you to hold the desk well, I'll be right back

He gave him a few minutes to calm down, because he left him crying, when he entered his office, he saw that he was rubbing his butt, giving small moans implying that he was calmer, Boruto felt it and took his two hands in front, grabbing the wooden desk, biting her lips to hold back a tear:

-(She approached him with a stick) you are going to count them one by one (Without more, I drop the first one sounding a whistle) zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz

Giving him time to recover and tell. Boruto wanted to squirm, move away so that he wouldn't keep giving him more but he only remembered his father's words of his warning and not even his hands wanted to move from their place that they had hooked but what he was more than sure he will never want again to do this or it was going to happen that his buttocks would burn from not being able to sit very comfortably.

-(when he collided with his spankings he wanted to grab them, rub himself, get up, but he still had a little more to go and he limited himself to shouting as he had done) onceee!

-(zaz, zaz, zaz, it had hurt so much, that it increased the pain) fourteen!

-(zaz, zaz, zaz, zaz… I couldn't speak very well anymore, I was crying with pure tears) diesci….o…choooo

Seeing her son's ass with the marks of the stick and the belt, apart from the red and something purple, she put the stick aside, and went after her child but in that she realized that she was bending the ends of her arms very hard. his desk as if his hands were hooks, apart he was crying and screaming at the top of his lungs, looking small and defenseless.

Naruto rubbed his back, changing his face from angry to a more relaxed and loving one, Boruto let go of the desk, hugging his father. Naruto pulled up his boxers and took off his pants along with his flip-flops, in which he had hooked Naruto's neck, listening to his son's moans of pain, being very careful not to mistreat his son's badly injured butt again, I carried him to sit down and little by little he calmed down, saying:

-Sorry dad, it was stupid what I did

-That tongue (Boruto hid his face in Naruto's neck) I know, and I trust you won't do it again, really champion, don't do it again, you know I don't like punishing you, it feels horrible

-It was better just to talk (Naruto let out a laugh giving his little one a kiss on the forehead)

-And you don't know how I wish it but this time you more than deserved it (hides his face in his neck again) now, now... (rubbing his back) you know, I love you so much champion, you have no idea but not for I'm going to spoil you because you're my children and for that alone I take responsibility for you, and if you go the wrong way I'm going to guide you like now you cheated, I don't want something like that in the future.

Without further ado, I hugged him tighter, where Naruto understood him and hugged him tenderly, at the same time they finished, Boruto asked him to take him to his bed carrying him, without protesting, I took him and left a wet towel on his buttocks, at At first he grimaced but then that changed to more relaxed, making him sleep.

In a few minutes, Hinata arrived, bringing himawari in her arms, asleep, only Naruto saw them saying "welcome home", giving his girl a tender kiss.

Soon they put her to bed and closed the door:

-And how is my Boruto?

-I feel very bad, I didn't want to punish him (making Hinata hug him because she felt that he almost cried)

-There's a little thing, my life deserved it and as a reward (looking at his face to go to his ear) I think someone is waiting for you in our tub (blushing him, and following her, he doesn't lie about loving that submissive and fearful wife to the that he loves but adores when he gets sexy).
