Chapter 24: Movement One
Parents again gathered at the school entrance after walking their children to the academy entrance. They looked at the future Ninja of the village in the distance while they talked about the latest events.
"Honestly, I'm still thinking about what happened with the Uchiha... And poor Mikoto, what should have happened."
Chouji Akimichi reflected on the supposed death of the Uchiha, since the black-haired woman was one of the friendliest Kunoichi of his contemporaries and certainly, all her friends never agreed with the arranged marriage that defined the Uchiha's life. The worst thing was that this arranged marriage gave rise to the destroyer of her own clan, Itachi...
That was the omen that there fears were correct and that agreement had been very counterproductive. While the housewives agreed with the robust leader of their clan, Kushina, and Konan knew that this was not true.
Being Menma's slaves, they had the knowledge of what had really happened during the destruction of the Sharingan Clan...
"At least, Miko-chan is no longer suffering..." The fair-skinned redhead murmured with regret.
"It must have been horrible because it was her son and I know how much she loved that damn murderer... "
"It's true, she was very dear to me and my daughter... Sarada is quite depressed by her death even though she pretends not to show it." Sakura said it also hurt.
"You must be proud of her, Sakura-san." Hinata intervened, smiling softly at Sakura.
"Despite that, Himawari told me that yesterday she had a great time at Karui-san's house with her and Chouchou." She said as she turned to the Akimichi couple.
"By the way, thank you very much, Karui-san, Chouji-kun." She spoke as she finished with a discreet bow.
"You're welcome." The dark-haired woman smiled discreetly.
"My girl also had a great time."
"Whenever you want, Hinata." The robust man smiled despite the fact that he was not involved in the coexistence of the girls
"That's true, Sarada is moving forward despite suffering the loss of Mikoto more than me." Sakura closed her eyes.
"I must not give in to the sadness…"
"That's the attitude, bubblegum." Kushina approached with a little enthusiasm.
"You shouldn't let yourself be overwhelmed by pain."
"Don't call me that anymore!" Sakura said bursting into a comical tantrum.
"On another matter…" The Hyuga caught the attention of her friends
"What's going on, Hinata-san?" Konan, who stayed on the sidelines in these types of conversations, asked curiously to follow the scene planned the night before.
"Well, I'm a little embarrassed to say it... But I would like to ask you if any of you need me to help you with your household chores…"
Kushina, Sakura, Chouji and a silent Tsume turned to look at her, since it was something that Hinata had not asked of them for a long time.
When she was exiled from her clan, she had to fend for herself and through that work, she earned an income. Sometimes the money she made as a ninja was not enough.
"Are you going through financial difficulties?" Asked her old teammate, the brown-haired Inuzuka
"N-Not really…" The woman with pearly eyes replied somewhat self-consciously.
"What happens is that… Boruto has needs and I want to pamper him as much as I can without compromising the pension money that I receive every month…"
"Sometimes I think that you pamper that child a lot…" The matriarch of the Clan of Dogs replied with discreet anger.
Although the blond Hyuga and his son were the best of friends, Tsume did not look kindly on the boy, since he was always rude with his mother.
Although Hinata was a sweetheart as a person, her son was quite capricious. He always was rude to her and treated her badly, whether in public or private, but her friend's love for that ungrateful dwarf was such that she never complained about the treatment she received. On the contrary, she always wanted to keep him content and happy…
"I-I know…" The Hyuga lowered her head slightly.
"But I want him to be happy while he's within my reach…"
"Well…" Menma's blue-haired aunt caught everyone's attention.
"Kushina and I are busy with the courses that Hokage-sama requested, while Tsunade-sama and Shizune-san have some work at the village hospital, so the house is a bit neglected and honestly, and we could use your help, Hinata-san."
"Really?" the woman asked with increasing joy.
"Yeah…" Kushina nodded.
"If you want, you can go to the house so you can see if you want to help. We can talk about what you should do and more than anything, how much you want to earn, fortunately, we are doing well in that aspect."
"I-If you don't have a problem, I'd like to see it right now…" Konan turned to look and nodded after a few moments when she saw that the Hyuga lowered her head slightly
"Of course, no problem," said Konan.
"Then it will be better to leave at once," Konan added smiling.
"We have a little less than two hours before starting our workday…"
************************************
"Wow man, you don't look well…" Kiba said as he looked at his friend with concern
"I've had a bad day, that's all," Boruto grumbled reluctantly.
The boy with two fang marks on his cheeks looked curiously at his friend, who looked quite dejected. He rested his arms on his table and had his head resting on them.
After leaving his house, he saw how his sister and mother came forward without waiting for him and he could only catch up with his mother, who simply said goodbye to him dryly without any gesture of affection. When he wanted to sit next to Himawari, he noticed that she had already taken a place on the right of the bored Menma, while Sarada had taken a place on the left...
"But apparently you're better now…" The Inuzuka said as he noticed that his friend smiled almost imperceptibly.
"That's right…" Boruto said as he thought about giving his half-brother another beating.
"There is something that will cheer me up…"
The dark Uzumaki prince was bandaged on the head, with his left eye covered by the bandages. Boruto figured that if he couldn't even defend himself against the boys being uninjured, his being weak and injured would make it even easier to give him what he deserved.
Only in this way could he vent some of his anger frin the way his sister and his mother had treated him...
***********
"It says 'Genjutsu is based on the use of Yin Element and is based on focusing the Chakra in alternating the flow of Chakra in the victim's brain…" Himawari said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Himawari-chan" Menma subtly smiled as he spoke in his signature bored tone.
Himiwari blushed deeply and her heart began to beat faster.
"With my eye like this, I can't see well…. Not that the lesson is that interesting anyway…" Menma said, only mumbling the last part so that she couldn't hear.
"Y-You're welcome, Menma-kun..." The girl lowered her gaze, pleased with the princes's gratitude.
"By the way, Sarada-chan... Thank you for lending me your notes." The boy turned to the other side to look at the Uchiha
"You're welcome!" The raven smiled broadly. "Anytime, Menma-kun!"
She was extremely excited to have the Menma's attention.
Chouchou was happy with the result of the first control session she had with her friends. She knew that Menma was madly in love with her, so she had to reciprocate by finding more girlfriends for him. It was only right for her boyfriend to be happy. It was her duty to share him with every girl that he wanted...
After Menma had saved her, it was like everything had become clear to her…
"Little by little, Menma-kun" The chubby smiled softly "I'll find you the best girls, the prettiest, and you won't have another option but to marry me when you see how lucky you are…" The brunette twisted her smile heartstruck.
Little did she would be unlucky…
Menma had been feeling particularly cruel when it came to Chouchou and couldn't help but bring light to an interesting idea.
…
"What is your problem?!"
"P-Problem…?"
Boruto had found Menma and met him head on during the break.
The Uzumaki prince was calm with his feigned injuries but decided to play along. Then the blond Hyuga pushed Menma with his shoulder, immediately getting annoyed and blaming his half-brother for bumping into him when he had clear intention of hitting him.
Even Menma was confused as he immediately realized the pathetic ruse, all the while avoiding appearing responsible.
Wasn't this future son of his suppose to be a genius? This was the best he could think of?
"Hey, you wanted to push me! You must be just pretending to be hurt...!" Boruto bellowed angrily as he pushed Menma in the middle of the patio to provoke him into responding.
Menma was dumfounded.
"Are you fucking kidding me… Does this guy really think anyone is falling for this??? Does my son have something wrong with his head?" Menma thought bewildered.
Ignoring his stray thoughts he immediately fell back into his public persona.
"I didn't do anything Boruto…" Menma answered annoyed, pretending to fall for his ruse.
"Don't deny what you did!" The Hyuga replied with rising fury.
"Fight fight…!"
What started as a plan to have a 'valid' justification for beating up his half-brother slowly began to morph into a restaging of yesterday. A circle of boys had surrounded them to incite them to solve things with blows...
"You were the one who bumped into me Boruto…" Menma said with fake rising fear.
On the inside though he was trying to hold back a grin at who he saw coming.
"Leave him alone, Boruto…!"
Boruto heard a familiar voice and went to turn around when he immediately felt a sharp pain in his right leg. He fell onto the ground hurting the knee of his other leg on the ground and begin to sob in pain.
In front of him, his sister was looking at him with a cold expression that intimidated him quite a bit. However, he soon recovered from the shock to look up and see the blue-haired girl with indignation...
She had kicked his shin quite hard.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Himawari?!" The blond Hyuga replied furiously.
"I should say the same!" Himiwari said as she sneered at her older brother.
"I didn't know it was possible for you to bully someone who is injured! As always, you're going to get mom in trouble!"
"You don't get involved!" Boruto replied breathing heavily, trying to contain the crying that threatened to come out
"What is hapening here?"
The adult voice caught the attention of all the children around the blondes, letting the owner of the voice pass...
It was a beautiful Jounin with long, broken black hair that went past her shoulders, with exotic red eyes, with a ring between the pupil and the iris. She wore makeup consisting of red lipstick and purple eyeshadow wearing a tight white bandage outfit with a red sleeve, which was baggy in the sleeves and tight in the body to show off her voluptuous and elegantly outlined body in an enigmatic way.
It was Kurenai Yuuhi, who was there because she had recently been appointed as the Genjutsu teacher for the class.
"Who is this hottie…?" Thought Kiba with a perverted smile as she addressed the two half brothers with a sexy strut.
"Are you okay…?"
The woman looked stern at the half-brothers for a moment, but the hardness in her expression was directed at Boruto when she saw Himawari help the Menma to his feet. Sarada and Chouchou soon arrived to help Menma, while the blonde Hyuga got up with difficulty.
"That loser pushed me when I was passing by!" Hinata's son pointed with obvious contempt at his half brother.
"You're liar…!" An indignant Sarada replied.
"Menma-kun can barely walk after the beating he received yesterday!"
"Menma-kun?" The Jounin visibly surprised.
"Is it the boy who contains the Kyuubi? Now that I look at him closely, he looks a lot like the rumors…"
"Shut up, Sarada!" Boruto was really furious to see that the girls closest to him defended that idiot so fiercely.
"Listen…" Kurenai seriously addressed Boruto after seeing the apparently quite injured Menma.
"It's evident that this boy cannot defend himself, so come with me, we will deal with the matter…"
"What?!" The fair-faced blond looked fearfully at the Jounin. In a moment of stupid decision making her decided to run away.
"Catch me if you can!"
"Silly boy…" Showing off her superior speed in relation to that of the students, the Kunoichi grabbed the boy by the neck of his clothes before he could escape.
"Let me go, let me go…!" Boruto began to kick agitated.
"Let's see if you're so energetic when we call whoever takes care of you…" the woman said as she practically dragged him towards the office
"Are you alright, Menma-kun?" Himawari, Sarada and Chouchou helped Menma to remain standing.
"Yeah, thanks…"
"Hey, Himawari…" Kiba cautiously approached while the other children began to move away from the place
"What do you want?" She answered sullenly.
"Aren't you going with your brother?" The brown-haired boy asked confused.
"He asked for it, I don't have to help him…"
Disregarding her brother's fate, Himiwari turned around to help her friends take the Uzumaki prince to the infirmary.
"Let him be punished for being an idiot, he asked for it …"
"Oh…" The Inuzuka said surprised by Himawari's coldness towards her brother.
As Menma was being helped up he couldn't help but look at Boruto being dragged away while kicking like a child.
"Let the first movement of my grand symphony for you begin Boruto..." Menma thought with a wicked smile.
