They had arrived at the precinct of the damned and Mitsuki grabbed Boruto to go to his room. He knew that he had to continually prove that the blonde was his so that he could rest easy. Once in the room alone and after having conjured the protective shield, Mitsuki and Boruto were just able to relax. The blond threw himself on the bed breathing relieved.
"Ah, I'm dead." He murmured, feeling how tiredness was taking over his person.
"Sleep Boruto, unfortunately today was not a good day. We'll see how things turn out tomorrow.
"Shinki...interesting... Mitsuki frowned hearing him murmur that, he didn't like it at all that his friend was interested in someone who didn't value friendship like Shinki.
He would explain how things worked when he was awake and in a better mood.
When Boruto fell into a deep sleep, the blue-haired man left the room conjuring the shield again so that Boruto is protected.
He had to look for food somehow and that's what he would do. He went out again, it was snowing outside and the cold seeped into his bones. He wrapped his blue cloak around himself, pulling his hood up.
He would ask in some corner without giving up. Boruto needed to eat and he had to bring something to the compound or he wouldn't be able to spend another night there.
People were immersed in their own worlds, living their lucky lives without caring about others.
Mitsuki sighed sadly, he would never get used to that kind of life. Never.
Remembering his adoptive father and teacher, his pain invaded his soul again.
Both he and his teacher were betrayed but at least he could move freely. His teacher, on the other hand, had been locked up in the worst of prisons.
I wish I could go back in time, that way I would avoid living that martyrdom. The cold bothered much more when his mood worsened. If only he could save the teacher from him, maybe things would be different.
But that was impossible. Shinki.
The image of who was once his best friend came back to him once again, causing him pain and fury. "If only you had trusted me...damn Shinki...I did believe in you.
He sighed sadly, he knew that he would gain nothing by regretting what could have been and wasn't. The cold became more unbearable as the day progressed and night fell.
He would seriously have to think about finding another place to stay because he wouldn't be able to bring anything to eat that night. "Where could they spend the night? Damn his luck.
Master... I need you so much... He whispered as he felt himself drifting off to sleep. Bad, very bad because he could die. But his forces had come to an end, the battle with Kawaki had left him exhausted.
"Boruto. He couldn't leave it like that, much less in that dangerous place. He forced himself to stand up and start walking.
The images of him were blurring, the dizziness threatened to turn him over. He had spent the whole day without eating and to top it off he used large amounts of chakra. Holding on to the walls he headed towards the hall of the damned.
The cold made him shiver but he used all his will to reach his destination.
There the leader Orochimaru informed him that according to the rules both he and Boruto had to leave the place. Mitsuki was barely breathing, his lips were purple and her skin extremely pale.
He wouldn't stop shivering from the cold, but the blue-haired man understood and didn't protest. Without further ado he went to the room in search of Boruto, with the last of his strength he undid the shield.
The blond threw himself into his arms very worried, he didn't like having woken up alone and locked up. No chakra or strength to remove the shield.
"Sorry my sun, I couldn't leave you like this because you would be in danger.
"You are not well at all Mitsuki, come and lie down. You must rest...
We have to get out of here. We can no longer stay in this place.
Boruto looked at him incredulously how the hell did that happen? Mitsuki was really very weak and looked bad where would they go? Above that was the coldest night of the year apparently.
"You're not serious, right? Mitsuki wasn't well at all and it's intensely cold outside.
" None of that matters here my sun, today we could not bring food. It is the only condition to stay here... let's go before... we have problems... Boruto frowned but he knew that he couldn't do anything anymore.
On top of that they were being searched for by the real sorcerers and in particular he was harassed by both Sarada Uchiha and Kawaki.
He just hoped they didn't show up to bother them on at least that horrible night. They got out just in time before the leader of the place can say anything to them. Boruto was on this occasion the one who hugged Mitsuki.
They went out into the cold of the night, which at that time was snowing heavily. They took refuge under one of the bridges and Boruto resorted to the Nibi to help Mitsuki. He needed to see it well.
"Beautiful, it's important that you do something for me. "I know what you're asking of me boy, but are you sure you want to help this human? Totally. Please do it. In agreement.
After making the seals, Boruto placed his hands on Mitsuki's chest and a blue chakra emerged from inside the blonde to envelop the blue-haired man. His physical wounds were healing, while his temperature was rising until he fully recovered. The chakra of the Nibi returned to the interior of him disappearing. Boruto was the one who ended up exhausted and lost consciousness in the arms of the blue-haired man, who hugged him and took him to safety. "My sun, just like my teacher, you only think of others. I have to find a place to shelter you. A stranger approached them at that moment, he was wearing a black robe with a hood. mitsuki looked at him putting on guard. "Calm down Mitsuki, I'm not going to hurt you." The stranger took off his hood, revealing himself under the moonlight. It's me Shinki.
"You...came to have us arrested...damn? "No, I was looking for them but when I had resigned myself I felt a strange chakra. Come with me. A luxurious carriage appeared behind the prince. Although Mitsuki didn't trust Shinki, he knew that he couldn't let Boruto freeze out of cold. "Go up," Shinki ordered, approaching Boruto but Mitsuki placed himself in front of the prince protectively. "Don't disobey me Mitsuki, I just want to help... "Yes of course and I believe it and everything
"Mitsuki, despite what happened, tried to help you.
"Despite what happened? You're a hypocrite. You turned your back on me when I needed you most Shinki. "This is neither the place nor the time to discuss that Mitsuki. Besides at that time, since you bring it up, you leave me no choice.
"That? "We will continue this one in the palace." Saying this he gestured to his guards to force Mitsuki to get on one of the carriages while he held Boruto in his arms and carried him to his private carriage. The blue-haired boy couldn't do anything, so he was taken to the palace, where his old room awaited him. While Shinki held Boruto in his arms, fascinated by his incredible beauty. The journey was long and the prince was counting on it to study more carefully that blond beauty that was now lying in his arms. Shinki caressed Boruto's golden hair gently. Unable to contain himself, he brought his lips closer to the blonde's to give him a chaste kiss.
"So you are the jinchuriki of Nibi huh? My father was very wise to send me to look for you two. Boruto... you are beautiful... Shinki hugged him with protective tenderness giving him warmth on that cold white night. Never before had he had the need to be alone with someone, as he was now experiencing with this young man. "Boruto, you'll be mine." I murmur, giving him another kiss but this time on his forehead. You're a mystery but I plan to uncover that mystery.
Moments later they arrived at the palace. Mitsuki was led before King Gaara who asked him to have dinner with him, while he was ready to listen. Although the blue-haired man wanted to see Boruto, he knew that he could not and should not refuse a direct order from the king.
Gaara settled down to hear his story in full. It was what Mitsuki always wanted, so he made an effort to place all the cards on the table. He also expressed his suspicion about Boruto's real identity regarding his teacher. In addition to telling him that he was the jinchuriki of Nibi.
Gaara forgave him allowing him to return to his home and the academy as he was one subject short of being a real sorcerer.
Take care to be a true Mitsuki sorcerer. Leave Boruto in Shinki's care. the aforementioned frowned upon hearing that "My son did not betray you, you should talk about it.
"But Boruto... "Don't worry, that boy will be protected here It's just that Sarada Uchiha and Kawaki...they...
"I know Mitsuki and don't worry. Neither Shinki nor I will allow it, however you can see Boruto as many times as you want.
"Thank you majesty, if you assure me the safety of my friend that I began to consider a brother, I have nothing to argue.
Immediately Mitsuki went to his room, upon entering a set of emotions crowded his chest. How much he had missed that. Now at last he could give his teacher pride. Shinki assured him that Boruto was fine. When Gaara was left alone, Shinki appeared next to his father,
He had heard the entire conversation between Mitsuki and his father. "Are you safer now son?" Gaara wanted to know. Always trust Mitsuki. I hope you have reconsidered. "I had no choice father and you know it. "Perfectly son how is Boruto? "He's still unconscious but he'll wake up at any moment. "You better be by his side when that happens. Go by his side.
"Thanks, Dad. Shinki walked away leaving only his father who smiled pleased. He knew that his son was mysteriously attracted to him, and it really pleased him to know that.
Shinki entered his room where Boruto was sleeping in his bed with clean and new clothes. Upon arrival, he ordered a hot bath for the blonde, who did not wake up due to the extreme weakness that the blonde possessed. He now slept peacefully in his bed.
"Boruto wake up." Shinki whispered stroking his golden hair. I'll be here when you do. He kissed her forehead tenderly again.
