Ever since Shinki had started training him, Boruto kept getting better and better. He could manipulate chakra more easily than before. Boruto had to recognize that Shinki was as good a teacher as his brother Mitsuki, both had the same intensity when it came to transmitting the wisdom they carried inside. And of course they were both extremely demanding. Shinki used to leave him without a drop of chakra inside him. But the effort was beginning to pay off.
As for melee combat techniques, Shinki trained him using his black sand. That afternoon they were training hard in the back of the garden. In one of the several turns that the blonde was forced to do to escape the prince's attack, he saw it.
He was next to one of the windows that gave onto that private sector. Sitting in a chair looking out. Boruto's heart shot at a thousand beats per second. There was a brief moment when his eyes met.
"Father... so here you were." Boruto murmured under his breath and felt the intense longing to be able to go to him.
He hid while he communicated with the Nibi.
"Beautiful, do you hear me?
Strong and clear gallant.
Look at him he is..?
The jinchuriki of the Kyuubi indeed.
Bravo boy, you have found it.
What happens to him?
Give me a few seconds ok?
Hurry beautiful.
The prince is looking for us.
He is alright.
He is closed in on himself. He was cursed.
"What? But how? The one who tried to destroy you, failing to do so, took revenge on him... your father.
That couldn't be true.
Boruto felt faint upon confirming his suspicions.
"B-But can you release it?
Could you wake up the Kyuubi?" "Yes, of course, but we must train together first.
Only then will you be able to extract all my chakra and focus it on your father. Let's get to work then. I trust you precious.
First you have to be honest with Shinki, don't you think? And with some others since they will soon detect my presence when the training begins. Boruto looked at his father in his eyes again, for a few moments and murmured:
Father, I will save you. just wait a little longer Dad?
So you're his son? Shinki appeared behind him upsetting him.
Boruto looked at him in surprise and the prince smiled. I had my suspicions but I needed to be sure, that's why I brought you to this sector of the garden. Boruto looked at his father again as his eyes moistened. He felt so guilty, for what he was suffering from his father, that he couldn't take it anymore.
"Is he the one you are looking for Boruto?
"Yes
"And can you break the curse that keeps him imprisoned?
Yes
"Is that why you wanted me to train you so desperately?
Yes
Shinki began to understand everything better. I look at that beautiful angel, as mysterious as powerful.
"Naruto Uzumaki is someone very important to all of us. For this reason, if you can do something for his freedom, we will gladly help you.
"He does not know of my existence but I always knew that he was my father. It was not possible to come before and it is not possible for me to stay here for a long time.
"What's wrong angel? Trust me please.
"Shinki I am not an angel but a demon and...a very feared one who was sentenced to death, for being considered very dangerous.
"No Boruto, you're not a demon. And I plan to help you in whatever way you need. I won't let them kill you my angel.
Do you want to see your father?" The emotion invaded Boruto to the point of looking towards the window again. He knew that he shouldn't get emotionally involved, because he would only be putting him in danger, but why not see him even if it was just for a few moments?
Shinki didn't need the blonde to answer him, just by seeing him he knew the answer. He, smiling, held his hand and took him to the room where Naruto was.
Boruto's heart beat like a chord drum was getting closer to his father. When he entered the room, the Nibi detected the protective barriers that were there but none prevented her from entering there. "He's very well protected boy, don't worry. But they could well destroy everything and kill him. You have to save it precious.
Boruto followed Shinki, who told Sasuke about his visit. The brunette looked at Boruto with notable astonishment, making him feel self-conscious. "Boruto.
Shinki said approaching the blond. Come, I present to you Sasuke Uchiha. The best sorcerer in the kingdom.
"So you're the jinchuriki of Nibi huh? "Uchiha? But you... "Calm down Boruto, he has nothing to do with the other Uchihas," Shinki said. Sasuke is someone different. Boruto just looked at the Uchiha with intense mistrust. Shinki led him to his father who was sitting further on the couch, which had now been turned to face the door of the room, where they were. Boruto felt his voice break and his tears moistened. Behind him were Sasuke, Shinki, Mitsuki and Gaara who had just entered.
"Dad." Boruto rushed towards Naruto, hugging him tightly as he cried desperately. "Forgive me dad, please. It's my fault.. you're like this because of my damn fault. I'm sorry dad.
Naruto began to breathe raggedly, millions of questions he had, for that boy who called him dad. Boruto looked into his eyes without stopping caressing him.
"You may wonder who my mother is. She is Naomi Uchiha, Sasuke's first cousin. Yes dad, I am the product of rape. I know everything, forgive me for causing you so much pain. I know that my existence means intense pain to you.
At those words, Naruto's eyes widened in astonishment as his breath became more and more difficult.
"Uchiha? Sasuke couldn't help but be amazed. "I know that my mother kidnapped you and... raped you... I know everything about you... dad. And the one who locked you up in your own body did it just to punish me, you know? It's because he couldn't kill me and his fury taking him to...to...to you. I'm so sorry but I swear I'll save you.
Before they find me I'll free you and leave. Then everyone will be safe. Naruto wanted to say so many things to his son and when he couldn't he despaired.
"Surely you must hate me and with good reason. But I promise I'll go away once I've served my purpose. You'll wonder how I know about you, it's simple the person who raised me helping my mother give birth was Jiraiya, you Master, you remember right? Naruto looked at him with pain, he couldn't bear to be locked up like this. Condemned to see and hear things and not be able to communicate.
"Hate you? How could he hate his son? Leave? Why the hell would he have to leave, alone and in danger? He wanted to yell at her that she was wrong, that he accepted and was glad to know that he was a father.
"I had a twin sister? You know? Her name was Himawari but she died at birth. My mother also died a few minutes after I was born. Jiraiya told me that my health was too weak and that I wouldn't live more than a day. That's why he did the ritual to make me a jinchuriki, you know? That's the only way he could save my life.
Everyone listened attentively to Boruto's story.
"But soon the king of the kingdom of the wind sent his son to capture me, because he coveted my power. In other words, the bijuu that lay inside me. They caught me and... they began the ritual to remove the bijuu from my body . "I would die instantly, but there was nothing I could do to avoid it.
However, Jiraiya came to my aid with a powerful friend. The Nibi. And that was how I was able to save myself. "The Nibi was inserted into me and with it he ripped apart the damned prince of the kingdom of the wind. Jiraiya helped me get to the kingdom of thunder where he lived. But on the way he was badly injured and... he died.
He is buried next to my sister and my mother As you will see dad, I am a demon that only brings desolation.
"I am the jinchuriki of two bijuu as you can see. Nibi is one of them, he is the one who is awake since the other one is still recovering from the battle against the prince of the kingdom of the wind. I am exhausted and asleep.
"Hey Boruto. Mitsuki said approaching him, the blonde looked at him with intense pain.
What is the other bijuu you have inside? "The Ichibi," replied Boruto. The bijuu of the arena.
"Shukaku." Gaara whispered more than amazed.
Shukaku saved my life and he is my best friend. Nibi is my great friend and who will now help me to save my dad.
"And can you control both of them?" Sasuke asked incredulously.
Of course... uncle. Then he turned his attention from him to Naruto. Dad just hold on a little longer. I will break that curse, as long as the kingdom of the wind continues to believe that only the jinchuriki of the ichibi still have time. You know? It's just that they have no idea that I'm also Nibi's jinchuriki. Boruto hugged his dad again tightly. He loved him so much that he wanted to spend hours at his side. But he knew he couldn't do it.
Sighing heavily he turned away.
"Thank you Shinki for giving me this chance to see and talk to my father.
"Mitsuki, I'm sorry I haven't been completely honest with you... brother. It's just... I was afraid and I still am. "Don't worry, brother, I suspected that you were his son. After all, you look quite alike." Saying that, the light blue haired boy smiled.
"I'll leave as soon as...
No Boruto. Gaara interrupted. You don't need to go. This kingdom will give you asylum, besides I doubt very much that your father will let you go.
Boruto looked at him in amazement.
Shinki smiled and Sasuke too.
"Tell me, nephew, did you develop the Sharingan?
Yes, but I don't use it very often because it consumes too much chakra. Great. Gaara said. Sasuke will join your training then.
Hey? But I can't leave Naruto alone. Don't worry Sasuke, I'll take care of him while you're gone. the king replied. This didn't please Sasuke but he couldn't say anything as it was an order from the king himself. Naruto closed his eyes sadly.
In the past Gaara was one of his suitors and he knew that his suits were not over. The last thing he wanted was to spend time with him alone.
Everyone had left and Boruto went with Shinki to have a private dinner as it used to happen. The prince was happy to have known more details about that blonde who had taken his breath away from the first moment he saw him. Boruto felt that he should try harder if he wanted to spend more time with his father. But having met him, touched him and spoken to him was enough for the boy. He also was able to see Mitsuki although he was there for a little while.
