During the days that followed, Boruto danced sensually in the streets of the city while Mitsuki collected the coins that people gave them.
Of course, more than once they had to escape from the royal guards and sorcerers, through the roofs and hiding in the crowd.
Kawaki had taken looking for the young dancer very seriously, he wasn't about to give up.
But every time he saw her, he ended up losing her in the crowd.
He hadn't seen Boruto again either and that had him in a very bad mood.
On her side, Sarada had not given up on Boruto either, as she kept looking for him without stopping. She knew that sooner or later she would find him.
That was known by the blonde who was constantly on alert feeling very nervous, leading him to have horrible nightmares from which Mitsuki had to save him after waking him up every night and containing him since his desperation was constant.
That winter afternoon they wandered the streets of the city looking for a job but, as expected, nobody accepted them because they were beggars.
Boruto knew that he was at a disadvantage because he was a foreigner, but his friend was a different story.
He wondered how it was possible that someone like Mitsuki, who knew the most varied spells, could be wandering the streets of the city, instead of being in the Academy of Sorcery to be a future royal sorcerer.
If even he was much better than Kawaki, that crazy royal sorcerer who haunted him even in his nightmares. That Boruto could notice when they faced each other while fleeing.
But every time he asked him, his friend avoid the subject. He didn't want to talk about it, that was more than obvious but why? What was that due to?
While they received the negative twenty about a possible job, the blond thought that. He sighed deeply since he was used to that kind of life but his friend was not. He could perceive that too, it didn't take a genius to figure it out. Mitsuki had become someone very important to him, he needed him if he wanted to continue in that kingdom and fulfill what he had come to do. That is why he wanted to help him since he was very attentive to his person. But he couldn't think of anything, except to provide his with the money. That was why he had gone back to using that hateful sexy technique that the perverted old man had taught him long ago. But that particular afternoon the cold soaked the bones to the point of feeling that Boruto's ideas were frozen when he saw him pass. A beautiful carriage that, due to its fine and elegant appearance, the blond deduced that it was someone from royalty. A few feet away he stopped and the door opened. The one who descended from the interior was a young man of the same age with black hair, lush white skin and green eyes. That young man wore elegant black pants, matching shoes and a black coat that completely enveloped him. Boruto gasped at the sight since he had never seen someone so beautiful before. So much so that his mind became completely blank. Without thinking of anything but that brunette, he got closer to him but when his eyes met something stopped him. Both held each other's gaze, Boruto could notice a certain sadness in the one who apparently had everything.
But Kawaki's sudden crazy voice brought him back to the present.
"Stop that beggar.
He's about to attack the prince. "What the hell did that crazy guy just say?" Boruto said surprised but seeing the guards approaching him dangerously he frowned and looked at the prince again. "I don't want to hurt you. I was close enough for him to hear. I'm sorry if I scared you."
Then he backed away and was lost in the crowd where he was grabbed by Mitsuki who told him very angrily: "Did you lose your mind Boruto? How could you do such a stupid thing?
Shinki is not someone to trust.
"Shinki? the blonde was confused.
"Who is Shinki?
"That's the name of the prince and now Kawaki found us.
We'd better run away."
But...
"Don't argue and come with me.
Saying that, the blue-haired man held his hand and dragged him into an alley where they entered a building in order to escape to the condemned compound.
But Kawaki wouldn't let them go too far.
However, both Mitsuki and Boruto knew how to slip perfectly, eluding the guards and royal sorcerers. Mitsuki stopped to face Kawaki so he gave his friend time to concentrate chakra to open a space-time portal and directly disappear from there to appear in the hell of the damned.
"Will you be alright Mitsuki? "Of course, you just do what you know how to do Boruto.
Boruto knew that using Jogan, his white eye, was very risky for him since he couldn't fully control his power. But that technique he could control thanks to the perverted old man. However, he ends up without a drop of chakra and takes days to recover.
But he owed it to his friend since his stupidity led to this. If he had not been overwhelmed by the beauty of Prince Shinki, the crazy Kawaki would not have located them.
He takes a deep, deep breath to clear his mind. He needed to concentrate to build up chakra in his right hand. After making the seals, I activate the Jogan and start while Mitsuki stood in front of Kawaki and looking at him defiantly, he made the respective seals to use a technique of the wind element that stopped the enemy instantly.
"Wow who do we have here?" Kawaki said with a smile that gave off cruelty.
"The top student of the sorcery academy who was expelled for treason. I'm not surprised to see you begging on the streets. Without saying a single word, Mitsuki attacked him again, thus knocking him down, much to Kawaki's fury.
Come on Kawaki that's all a real sorcerer can do? If so, I warn you that you denigrate the sorcerers.
"Shut up you damn traitor. Saying that, he launched a powerful attack that the blue-haired man could easily dodge. In a confrontation between the two he was witnessed by the guards and other sorcerers without intervening on the orders of Shinki who dedicated himself to observing them as well.
Mitsuki was still as powerful as before, to the point that the academy's top graduate sorcerer with honors was publicly humiliated.
* "Damn, how does it feel to know that you are brilliant with chakra techniques and will never stop being a disgusting beggar who disappointed his own master?
Those words achieved their goal, disturbing Mitsuki and distracting him to receive Kawaki's cruel attack.
Attack that never reached its destination as Boruto intervened by deflecting it just in time to save his friend. He was ready and looking at Shinki he extended his right arm in the opposite direction opening the portal. They both looked at each other again in moments they could hear their thoughts.
"Sorry Shinki, it was never my intention to attack you prince.
"I know. But tell me your name at least, before you go."
"Boruto, my name is Boruto.
Nice to meet you...Boruto.
"The pleasure was mine...Shinki.
Boruto immediately opened the space-time portal and together with Mitsuki disappeared from that place, leaving Kawaki more than angry due to fury and frustration.
When the portal closed Shinki smiled, but seeing Kawaki mad with hatred he frowned ordering him to leave them alone and not chase them.
Of course the royal sorcerer refused to obey the prince's order, a fact that was taken advantage of by Shinki who told him:
"After proving to us that you are a fraud as a royal sorcerer and that they made a mistake in the academy by graduating with honors due to you pathetically losing to Mitsuki... are you even thinking of rebelling against us?
Kawaki looked at him defiantly but said nothing.
He really hated Shinki for knowing his true origin, he would never recognize him as a prince since it was unfair for someone without royal blood to enjoy the pleasures of belonging to the realm.
He exuded envy from every pore of his skin, yet he had no choice but to pay his respects to "the prince". At least in public.
"No prince. He bowed to him showing due respect
"Excuse me if that's what I did. I was just trying to arrest two thugs. "Leave them Kawaki," Shinki repeated.
"As you order.
Shinki returned to the carriage to go back to the castle. He had had enough for that day. In addition, that blond who responded to the name of Boruto left him restless.
"So Boruto huh? You're not only beautiful but extremely powerful." I mumbled as the carriage was in motion. Space-time techniques are very rare as are those who can use them.
Boruto and....Mitsuki have known each other since when ? Also Boruto...you...you look a lot like Mitsuki's teacher and father...Who are you really...Boruto?
