Hi everyone this is the first chapter of my first fanfic I hope to to have the next chapter up by next week since I'll working for the rest of this one. AS much as I'm looking forward to the new Boruto movie this fanfic doesn't take into account any events that will occur in it. Please comment and review (nothing hurtful please) and enjoy the show.

The clock in the classroom indicated that their jonin instructor was already thirty minutes late. Boruto was growing impatient, a trait his sweet mother told was inherited from his lame father. He always took his mother's criticism to heart but wished that she would stop comparing him so much to his father. His father is the Seventh Hokage and is celebrated as the greatest hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War alongside the father his friend/rival Sarada Uchiha who sat with him and his other friend Mitsuki as they sat alone waiting for their mutual jonin instructor. When Boruto asked his mother if his father had told who their jonin instructor would be she simply stated:

"Let's just say it's someone who is close to your father".

Of course that answer didn't satisfy him, since everyone seemed to be close to the Seventh except for him, his own son.

It had been forty-five minutes now, and enough was enough for Boruto.

"When is he gonna show up?!" he screamed and stood up with frustration.

"Indeed, this is rather immature and unbecoming for a jonin" Mitsuki added in agreement. Boruto sat back down in his place beside Mitsuki. Mitsuki always knew how to back up Boruto's impulsive bursts with intellectual jargon and logic (something Boruto was grateful for since it kept from always looking idiotic). Boruto looked at Sarada sitting on the other side of Mitsuki with a rather nonchalant expression on her face. While Boruto was good reading people's emotion reading their thought (especially Sarada's) was a talent that belonged to his friend Inojin who had been assigned to another team. It was a talent that Boruto sometimes wished he had since it would mean he could tell exactly what his father was thinking when he missed his birthday or who their ridiculously tardy jonin instructor was supposed to be.

Just as Boruto got up for another outburst, the door flung open who was undoubtedly the one they had been forced to wait a whole hour for, judging by the signature green vest that that all chunin and jonin were to wear. While Mitsuki looked relieved, and Sarada looked like she had for the past hour (nonchalant), Boruto was flustered and almost annoyed at the sight of the man he knew all too well. The upright brown hair and goatee, along blue neckerchief were the signature of the legendary Konohamaru Sarutobi; grandson of Supreme Ninja Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage and considered the greatest before the Seventh. There was a wide grin on their new instructor's face as if he'd been on time and sure enough,

"Sorry you three I was told our meeting was an hour later" Konohamaru excused, but the bags under his eyes told Boruto and his new teammates that he had only woken up an hour ago.

Their newly appointed Konohamaru-sensei led them outside to a spot under the famous Hokage Monument overlooking the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Boruto silently wondered why they were told to meet in that hat and stuffy classroom if they were going to come outside anyway. His train of thought was then interrupted by their rather jovial Konohamaru-sensei,

"Well everyone, as you know I am going to be your instructor, trainer, leader, etc. from now on. I am very happy to meet you all except I already know some of you", eying Boruto with a mischievous and annoyed glare, then continued,

"So let's start with introductions, laying out our likes, dislikes, and maybe goals for the future, I'll go first. I'm Konohamaru Sarutobi, I like being a ninja, hanging out with my cousin Mirai, as well as eating ramen with the Seventh. As for dislikes, just mostly troublemakers" eying Boruto again, "and my goals is to become Hokage just my Grandfather the Third Hokage". Boruto scoffed at the idea of this man being Hokage, not that he doubted his sensei's abilities, he was in fact one of the leaf's best, but Boruto believed anyone who wants to be Hokage must be crazy and selfish.

"Well alright Boruto I guess it's your turn" said Konohamaru-sensei. He sighed and began,

"Okay, I am Boruto Uzumaki, I like pulling pranks on my Dad and other people" eying Konohamaru then continued,

"I also love my mother and little sister Himawari, and I hate Hokages, and ramen. My goal is to become a ninja 10x stronger than my Dad and beat in battle." Konohamaru looked slightly insulted over Boruto's comment about Hokages and ramen.

"Alright now Sarada", said Konohamaru,

"I am Sarada Uchiha, I love my mother and father even though he isn't around, I enjoy training and being a ninja, my only dislike is idiot boys, and my dream is to be a great Hokage like the Seventh." Sarada grinned clearly happy at agitating him with her dream. Boruto simply scoffed and stared lightning bolts at her which were easily ignored.

Then Mitsuki's turn. Everyone was interested about what he had to say since he was seriously shrouded in mystery. Even Boruto didn't know much about him other than that he wasn't born the Leaf Village. Finally Mitsuki's moment of truth came.

"Well, I'm Mitsuki. I wasn't born in the Leaf but I like it here, I enjoy reading and training, I don't particularly dislike anything, and goals for the future... haven't thought about 'em."

Konohamaru-sensei looked satisfied, Sarada looked like she maybe interested by him, Boruto was just deadpan. He hadn't learned anything new about him except the things he already knew, which amounted to a little more than nothing.

There was a pause after Mitsuki's introduction. Boruto could tell that everyone present were hoping to learn more about the mysterious immigrant. "Well, that was fun. You guys all seem pretty interesting, and I guess tomorrow we'll also get to know how good you are at being ninja" said Konohamaru.

"Wait you mean like a test?" Boruto questioned. Konohamaru-sensei smiled.

That's right the fact that you're all here right means your too good for the academy, but I'm the one who decides if your good enough serve as true Leaf ninja." Boruto wanted blurt about his hatred of tests (despite him A-cing most of them), and he could tell Sarada wanted to declare that she would pass whatever test thrown at her but Mitsuki spoke before either of them,

"Sounds logical and reasonable, since it doesn't take a prodigy to pass the academy, but it takes more than luck to make it as real ninja." Konohamaru looking impressed by Mitsuki, and like he himself had to be somewhere important. Thus, dismissed the three;

"Well alright we'll meet at the training grounds by the river at 6:00 AM tomorrow, make sure you bring lunch". With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke. 6:00 AM, talk about demanding. Boruto then began thinking about what they could be tested on that the academy hadn't already been through.

"So what did you think of 'em?", The Hokage asked with a curious smile.

"Well Naruto, your son and Sarada seem to be eager to prove themselves to you, just not in the same way. As for Mitsuki, he's a mystery I hope to one day solve. He seems earnest and honest, But I feel he's keeping something that might be best to share." Naruto simply nodded with that same smile on his face. Konohamaru knew that the Seventh Hokage, his friend and mentor, took his position very seriously. Although he was incredibly easygoing, and sometimes seemed lazy, Konohamaru was one of the few people who understood that underneath all that was a man made responsible, reasonable, and shrewd by the years. Konohamaru knew that he'd been assigned to this team both to make sure Boruto and Sarada didn't stray on to a less pleasant path, and to learn more of Mitsuki. Naruto began again;

"I know you'll figure him out Konohamaru, being old man Third's grandson and all that", Konohamaru became flustered,

"You know I don't like being compared to him since I know I'll be greater than both him, and you put together."

"I have no doubt about that." There was sincerity in Naruto's voice. Konohamaru grew nostalgic it had been a while since the two of them had spoken like this, with complete disregard to their ranks and only looking to the the future. Ever since Naruto became Hokage times like this were rare.

"So what test are you planning on giving our fearsome threesome?" Naruto inquired.

"The test? I was just thinking I go with the classic bell test, always sends an interesting message."

"True, except I already told Boruto and Sarada about the bell test last weekend when our families had dinner and Sarada's mother and I began reminiscing about our old Team Kakashi days."

"Yeah, well now I gotta think of new test since you went and spoiled everything." Konohamaru sighed.

"Relax, I already got the perfect test for you use for them. Something I think is more fun but just as insightful as the old bell test." Naruto said with a slightly mischievous smirk

"I'm listening." Thus the Seventh began explaining his new test idea, both Hokage and jonin wearing the same mischievous smirk all the way through.

After Naruto finished explaining the test Konohamaru couldn't help but marvel at the hokage's practical genius.

"That's a great idea" Konohamaru complimented.

"Of course it is, I came up with it."

"As if all your ideas are great." Konohamaru teased with a grin.

"Name one that wasn't."

"Using firestyle jutsu to make ramen, or using rasengan to dig holes for gardening, want me to continue?" Konohamaru's grin got wider as watched the great seventh hokage hanging his head in shame. Konohamaru knew that normally Naruto would have shot something back but he knew those were amongst his worst ideas, and that his wife had given him hell for; his wife who was usually soft-spoke and uncommonly sweet. Konohamaru let the hokage pull himself together, before asking:

"anything else you want to talk about Naruto?" Naruto didn't answer the question right away. he got up and began staring the out his office window; the window through which the Hokage could watch over the entire village. Or at least he could until the expansion right above the hokage monument had been built. Naruto finally began.

"It's been well over a decade since the fourth great ninja war, since the sealing of Kaguya, since me and Sasuke finally settled our differences." Naruto had paused before mentioning that last event. Konohamaru knew how that was the event that cost Naruto and Sasuke their arms. Even though Naruto had gotten the arm replaced, and he and Sasuke had long since made up, Konohamaru understood, that he and Sasuke had gone at each other harder than they had in any other battle. Not many people knew of that conflict considering most of the world was under Kaguya's genjutsu. Those who did, knew that that battle represent Naruto and Sasuke's base natures, something both were afraid of.

Naruto finally began again, " Sasuke's coming back in a week's time."

"You mean he finally found something out regarding the threat apparently great that Kaguya Ootsutsuki?" Konohamaru inquired of his mentor.

"His message from the hawk didn't say, but that's what I'm guessing." Naruto paused. "He misses his family and won't be back until he knows he'll never have to leave again. The only way he can do that is for us we take care of this problem ASAP." Naruto continued to look out his window at the village he was sworn to protect as he was speaking. This village was like family to him, and Konohamaru knew that Naruto protected his family at all costs.

"Well, I suppose I'll get ready for tomorrow morning then, Bye." Konohamaru bowed respectfully at the hokage still looking at his window and took his leave."

On his way home Konohamaru began thinking about the test he would put his new team through. Though he was looking forward too see how they would overcome it, a part of him was hoping they would fail and he would have send them back to the academy. He knew that if they passed and became ninja there would be no way for them to avoid the war that he knew was fast approaching.
