Ch12: Change

Sasuke and Boruto returned to their original time. Sarada was waiting for them.

"Sarada how did you know we would be here?"

"Are you out of your mind Boruto!"

"I know. I didn't change the past. Oldman Sasuke stopped me"

"I don't know what would happen if the village finds about it. With your reputation, I don't think they would be pleased"

"My what?"

"Stop screwing around. Let's go see your mother". Sasuke stepped in. "Boruto, tell your sister about the mission and come back to lab in hard an hour"

"What mission?"asked Sarada.

"Boruto will explain it to you ah!" Sasuke touched his forehead. So did Boruto who made the same sound. "What's it? Are you two okay?"

"Yeah, must be some side effects"

"Last time we didn't have any of these" said Boruto. "We will talk about these later just move". All three of them left the place.

Boruto and Sarada were walking to the hospital. Boruto felt unease. The villagers were looking at Boruto with hatred. "Why are they looking at me like this"

"They don't know any better" said Sarada.

"Ah!" Again, Boruto felt a little pain in the head.

"We should check you too at the hospital"

"I don't think it's necessary. It's like your dad said. It's just some minor side effect" Sarada touched his hand, joining his with hers. Boruto looked at his girlfriend. Somehow he felt better. They arrived at the hospital's entrance. Boruto moved his face towards Sarada. Pressing his lips against hers, he shared a passionate kiss. "When we return from the mission, we are doing it at your place"

"We can't. Itachi would be there"

"Itachi? Your Dad's brother? Isn't he dead?"

"No idiot. My brother Itachi"

"Your brother???" That sentence shocked Boruto's hole body as he remembered some visions. Those are memories from this timeline. He wasn't part of any of it but he had these memories. It's like they were unlocked. He experienced everything at once. Boruto forgot how he defeated Momoshiki. He felt his presence inside. He remembered a boy he never met before. Itachi, Sakura and Sarada's son, named after Sasuke's brother and he's 14.

"Are you okay Boruto?", asked Sarada.

"What have I done?"

"Huh?"

'It can't be. He can't be. Did I do this. We created a new existence. Be cool Boruto. Oldman Sasuke must have had the same visions as me. Did I make his wife pregnant. No, Sasuke from that time must have done it after my transformation. He was still there after we implanted our memories. He has sharingan. This Itachi has sharingan. I shouldn't be worried about this. Oldman Sasuke should know what to do. This kid has sharingan. He's an uchiha. Not my kid. And Momoshiki, he's still alive. I changed his end. I didn't destroy him in this timeline. Oh my god! What did I do!'

"I am talking to you. Are you thinking about someone else!" Boruto turned to see Sarada but he faced a powerful fist on his cheek. He was thrown away through the hospital door. Boruto touched his face and faced a furious Sarada. "Sorry! I wasn't paying attention to you. I had a headache"

"You were looking down and thinking about something. If you were thinking about that butch Sumire, you know what happens don't you?"

"Why would I think about her. I told you I had a headache. Why would you think that I was thinking about her?"

"We should go see your sister"

"Hey you are avoiding the question"

"I said we should go see your sister. You may be the current strongest shinobi but not for me"

Boruto stood up from the ground and started moving. He thought 'what's wrong with her? Is she jealous? Sumire is cute but she lost her interest in me long time ago'. Then he looked at her ass from behind. 'Just like her mother. Oh stop thinking about Sakura's ass pervert mind'

[Are you talking to yourself or me, son of man]

He heard someone's voice inside his head. He knew well whose voice it is.

{It's been a while}

[A while? Huh that might explain the missing part. What did you do in the past? I have different recollection of memories]

{You should have known about it you know}

[I do but some part of my memories are blank]

{That's time travel you know}

[I know more than you about our technology. Stop screwing around. You're not obeying our deal]

{About the deal, that's just messed up you know}

[I am the source of your power. That's the price you must pay]

{My village hates me just because of your existence. I am already paying the price for it}

[It's not my fault that you are the strongest shinobi but the biggest threat to humanity. Your species are selfish hypocrites]

{It's better than a monster with hunger for power who eats his own species life}

[The weak must serve the strong. That's how we live]

{You're part of me. You can't live like that with my body}

[That's a part of the deal. I don't care if you don't tell me about your journey. I'll find out eventually]

{Good luck with that, Momoshiki}
