True Friends

Inojin's POV

I woke up at midnight to see that the others were sleeping soundly. I went into the woods to do my business. I turned to head back to camp and I felt a presence of someone and I took a kunai and walked into the woods.

Chiisa na kata wo narabete aruita

Nande mo nai koto de waraiai onaji yume wo mitsumeteita

Mimi wo sumaseba ima demo kikoeru

Kimi no koe ORENJI-iro ni somaru machi no naka

Kimi ga inai to hontou ni taikutsu da ne

Samishii to ieba warawarete shimau kedo

Nokosareta mono nando mo tashikameru yo

Kieru koto naku kagayaiteiru

Ameagari no sora no you na kokoro ga hareru you na

Kimi no egao wo oboeteiru omoidashite egao ni naru

Kitto futari wa ano hi no mama mujaki na kodomo no mama

Meguru kisetsu wo kakenukete iku sorezore no ashita wo mite

I heard a voice singing, it was actually a nice voice. I saw a shadow and I walked up to see the person sitting on a rock just out of the reach of the moonlight so I couldn't see who it was. I accidently dropped my kunai cause I tripped on a tree branch. When I looked up the person was nowhere to be found. "There they are." Shikadai said as soon as he saw the three of them come.

I couldn't sleep so I went to look around and saw a very nice lake. I sat on a rock on the lake side and a song that my mother used to sing me came to my mind and I started singing. I finished the song and I saw someone coming a towards me so I activated my sharingan to see who it is and quickly recognized the Yamanaka chakra. Inojin that means the others are close by. I thought.

He tripped on something and I swiftly ran back to the campsite, I decided not to warn the others about team ten cause my suspicions maybe wrong. We started of in the morning same as usual and we were stopped on our tracks by team ten. They jumped right in front of us stopping us from continuing on.

"Huh you guys?" Boruto said. "I guessed right." Shikadai said confidently. "I figured you guys have gone after Mitsuki and be around here." He said again. "Don't tell me you were set out to capture Mitsuki?!" Boruto said. Then Shikadai aimed at Boruto and Sarada pushed him away. "What's the big idea" Boruto said. "We came to take you three back to the village." Cho Cho said in a serious voice.

"Team 10 is hunting us down? I guess you were right about a team coming after us Kimui." Sarada said to me. "Sorry, but orders are orders our mission is to take you back to the village." Shikadai said. "We're sure you already know. But if you refuse you will be branded as rouge ninja." Inojin said making it clear to the others. I fazed out for a while when Boruto started arguing.

"Sadly, I don't think we're going to be able to convince them." I heard Moegi sensei say nd I stopped fazing out. "Ninja art: super beast scroll." Inojin said and released almost fifteen birds after us.

Shikadai went after Boruto using his shadow paralysis while Moegi went after Sarada. I engaged in battle with Cho Cho and Inojin. They both nodded at each other before coming at me. "Partial expansion Jutsu." Cho Cho said as she came at me with her arms expanded. I moved dodging her attacks while I weaved signs for a jutsu. "Mind transfer ninjutsu." I heard Inojin say but it was too late he came straight into my mind.

In seconds I felt him in my mind as I furiously fought back. Hey kid you invited a Yamanaka in here. The Biju said. Oh no, oh please no. I thought. I was punched back to life and I was lying down. I saw Cho Cho above me ready to punch me. I swiftly somersaulted back to Sarada and Boruto who looked fine for the time being. "Sealing jutsu: crouching tiger Bullet." Inojin said and Boruto pushed me and Sarada while the tiger pounced on him. Sarada was hold up by Cho Cho while I was dodging the shadow paralysis jutsu.

I saw Boruto making a Rasengan and realized we were retreating. I took a stun bomb and shot it right in the middle of Cho Cho and Shikadai and the three of us escaped into the bushes. "Alright, I have a plan." I said as soon as we got out of sight. "Boruto use three of your clones on the right path transformed into us as decoy so they'll have to split up giving us an easier chance to beat the team that comes after us and escape." I explained to the both of them.

We ran straight forward till Cho Cho stopped us by using the human bolder jutsu. "I really think you should give this up soon I'm gonna stop you right here." Shikadai said. "Lets do this." Boruto said. Boruto created shadow clones as a distraction while Sarada and I tried to take down the command post (Shikadai). I used a cloaking jutsu and hid while Sarada's attempt failed. "I've seen your strategy over and over again, it may fool others but not me." Shikadai said and I smirked. Too bad it's not Boruto's strategy Shikadai. I thought.

"One more time." Boruto said and went for the same technique. Cho Cho trapped Sarada while Boruto went for an aerial attack. Shikadai stopped Boruto using his Shadow paralysis and he turned into Inojin. And that's my que. I thought. "Hey where's Kimui." I heard Inojin's voice. "Lightning style: infinite Barriers." I said and I lifted my cloaking jutsu and slammed my hand to the ground. Lightning surrounded Shikadai, Inojin and Cho Cho and we reunited.

The white snake slithered out of Boruto's Pocket and Shikadai seemed shocked. "Mitsuki's snake, what did it say to you?" He asked Boruto. "It was a vague massage it only said "This is my will." All this time I thought I knew him but I actually knew nothing, that's why I have to go." Boruto said and I released the jutsu.

"I'm going with Boruto." Shikadai said. "Huh?" Everyone said surprised except for me, I kinda figured out that he'll come through. "If Mitsuki really was a spy for the village why would he attack the guards and leave so much evidence behind. wouldn't that be weird?" Shikadai said. "Maybe Mitsuki's caught in the middle of an unthinkable situation." he said again. "Fine then I'll go with you too Sarada." Cho Cho said. They all eventually agreed to come with us.

~Time skip to when they leave the Ruiyu Caves~

"We're going to split up since there's six of us." Shikadai said. "Boruto, me and Kimui will go to Ku's lair to gather information. While you guys wait as back up." He said and we nodded.

We got into the lair but there was many of the enemies. "I'll go as a decoy." I said taking off my necklace. "You sure Kimui." Boruto asked. "Believe me I'm faster than any of you." I said and activated my Kekkei genkai. I ran after the stone dolls breaking one by one. I felt my eyes burning up more and more so I switched to Mangekyou sharingan but still kept up my kekkei genkai's speed.

I stopped running and saw Ku. "Kamui" I said and disappeared and reappeared in the Tushikages office where Shikadai was. "You really couldn't find a better time to do that." I said after I regained my balance. "Lets get out of here before it becomes a drag." Shikadai said and grabbed my hand and jumped out of the window. "And your suppose to be a strategist huh?" I said as soon as I saw that below us was a dark canyon. "Kamui" I said and got us both to the cave we stayed.

I landed on the ground calmly while Shikadai fell head first on the ground. "Where are we." Shikadai asked. "We're in the cave that we stayed." I said as I scanned the area. "Yeah you mean almost a mile from it. What a drag." Shikadai said making me annoyed. "Well if your going to keep saying that I'm leaving you behind" I said as I got up and started running towards the right direction.

"Over here." Shikadai said as soon as he saw the others coming. "Shikadai, Kimui." Boruto said as he ran up to us. One of the fabrications showed up in front of us. "You guys go we'll take care of him." Shikadai said. We ran towards Ku's location to find Mitsuki when I sensed danger and stopped on my tracks. I didn't realize that the others were gone before I turned around. Great now I'm lost in the middle of nowhere. I thought.

I heard weapons clashing and I ran towards the sound to see Boruto and Sarada engaged in a fight. Genjutsu. I thought. "Oh look seems like we have another friend of yours." A voice said. "Kimui watch out." Boruto yelled. I looked at my opponent. she had her eyes closed meaning that her eyes are used to cast the genjutsu. I thought.

"Well let's add more fun shall we." she said and started to open her eyes. I quickly activated my Mangekyou sharingan, which prevented me from falling into the Genjutsu. She suddenly disappeared as if she was summoned. Sarada released the her Genjutsu. And I released Boruto from the Genjutsu. "C'mon we have to go after her and find Mitsuki." Boruto said started running again. I felt faint from overusing my chakra but I still followed, the Kekkei genkai after effect still hasn't hit me so I have to hurry.

"Mitsuki, Don't do it." Boruto said as Mitsuki was going to Ku with the heart. Mitsuki broke the case making Ku angry and we had to fight some stupid clay puppet. "What now." Boruto said after landing numerous attacks on the clay puppet. "I've got this." I said and started making hand signs for a jutsu from my dad that I improved. "Lightning style: lightning twin dragon running technique." I shouted out and twin dragons came out of my hand but still kept connected and went straight for the two eyes of the puppet. As soon as the lightning hit the puppet shattered and so did the person who casted it.

"That was so cool." Boruto said and I half smiled an actual smile which surprised both of them. Then Onoki came and asked Boruto to take him to which earned Boruto a tick mark. We went to where Ku and Mitsuki were engaged in a huge battle. Mitsuki got blasted into the wall and he was injured. Onoki fought Ku to only fail and get hit into the wall with his back. Boruto brought Onoki to the rest of us and Ku started to make a giant atomic particle dismantling cube.

"We can't escape that." Boruto said afraid. "We need to do a jutsu that can deflect that." Sarada said while I was tugging my necklace to get it off. I started weaving hand signs as soon as I got it off. "Kimui you think there's a jutsu that you can make on you own that can deflect that." Sarada said when she saw me doing hand signs. "It'll work, but I don't know what will happen after that." I said and I started glowing bright as my white chakra was building up. "Kimui don't do this you're already low on chakra you could die." Mitsuki said. "Sometimes a sacrifice is worth it if your saving your true friends." I said and my eyes turned pale white.

"Yūreigan!" Sarada exclaimed as she saw my eyes. "Silver style: Silver dragon." I said practically yelled, and my chakra turned into a dragon and went right at the cube. There was a huge explosion and we were suddenly in water. I started seeing everything blurry as I tried to hold on. We landed on a white surface and I tried to get up but failed cause my legs were shaking. I fell and Mitsuki caught me. "Kimui!" I heard the others voices shout out before I closed my eyes.
