Road to Sarada

AN: I'M ALIVE! Sorry for disappearing for so long it was just that I lost my inspiration to write. So about this fic, it may contain some spoilers for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime, if some of you hasn't watched it already. Please don't kill me! This suddenly came into my mind. I've spent my days reading a ton of fics and I noticed that we do not have much fanfics about Road to Ninja. So my brain suddenly came up with the idea of combining the Next Generation with the Road to Ninja Universe. I'll see to it that I'll be able to write this until the end.

About my other fics, there is a chance that I might not continue it at all. I've lost ideas for them. I'm sorry!

Please enjoy this one ;)

Prologue:

"I'm going out now, Mama!"

"Ok, Sarada. Have fun!" Sakura peered at her daughter from the kitchen. "Anything interesting at school today?" she added.

"Just genjutsu training today." Sarada said before leaving their home.

'Genjutsu training, huh?' Sakura thought. 'I hope they don't plan to use the prototype we made based on the Infinite Tsukuyomi.'

"Hey, Sarada! Over here!" Chouchou waved. Standing with her were Sumire, Wasabi and Namida.

Sarada smiled and went to join the girls. On the way, she spotted the boys excited about the exercise. Shaking her head, she already knew what the boys are up to – Especially Boruto. Ever since the beginning of their Academy year, Boruto's been stirring up trouble wherever he went. Starting from the welcoming ceremony of new students until recently, they've been trying to catch this 'Ghost' that is causing people to go crazy and destroy stuff. They should've let the adults handle the situation instead.

The chatter in the room stopped when Shino entered. "Okay students, are you ready for the genjutsu training?"

Everyone nodded.

"Where am I?!" Sarada bolted upright the bed, looking around her. "Wait… this is my room…"

Running swiftly outside her room, thinking 'Why was I in my room? We were supposed to be training for genjutsu!' Then it hit her. "Of course! I am already in the genjutsu!" Sarada exclaimed. Remembering what her sensei taught them about genjutsu, the victim initially is not aware of being in the genjutsu. Deciding to explore the genjutsu world, Sarada opted to look for her mother. 'Shino-sensei mentioned that some genjutsu shows the victim their deepest desires, but not as accurate as what the mind creates.'

"Sarada?"

"Mama… ?" Sarada followed the familiar voice of her mother. She found Sakura at their front door talking to someone on the other side.

"There you are!" Sakura said turning to her daughter. "Boruto is here looking for you. Well, not just Boruto. Some of your friends are here."

"Oh!" Sarada remembered that she and her classmates were all under the genjutsu. 'I wonder if they're all aware yet' She thought.

Going outside, she saw that her mother was right. Not only was Boruto here but also the rest of her friends. Before she even got the first step outside of her home, she was immediately pulled by Boruto. By the look of his face, it was like he saw a ghost or something scary for he was paling up. Looking at the others, she saw they had the same expressions, just not as intense as Boruto's.

"Well it looks like you'll be out for a while" Sakura said smiling at them. "Just get back in time for dinner, okay?"

Sarada nodded before being dragged away. "Hey! Slow down, Boruto you idiot!" Using her super strength she inherited from her mother, Sarada bonked Boruto's head as hard as her fist can.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Boruto rubbed at his aching head.

"Why did you drag me?" Sarada demanded. "I can walk on my own perfectly fine! Anyway, what's going on?"

Boruto visibly shivered. "You remember we're all under a genjutsu, right?" Sarada only nodded. "Okay, so I woke up at home. Well, my mom woke me up. But that's not the point! That wasn't my mom! She was even scarier than I remembered!"

Sarada pursed her lips, "Hmm.. I see." She looked at the others. "How about you guys? Are there any strange things you experienced when you woke up?"

Chouchou was the first one to speak up, "I'll tell you what's wrong. My dad! He's not eating a lot, which is a real surprise since my dad loves food aside from me and my mom. And he's really fit! Not that I have any problem with that. Just the eating thing."

"My dad is acting like an idiot." Shikadai said lazily.

"Mine suddenly didn't know how to draw." Inojin added.

"My father is suddenly not feeling enthusiastic, as well as Uncle Gai." Metal Lee added.

After everyone stated what was unusual in their homes, they decided to roam around the village to see if anyone else is acting strange. While the group walked along the district, they heard a voice call at them. Turning around, they saw a woman with fading red hair reaching her waist and a man with blond hair with long spikes headed towards them. Boruto's eyes widened.

"No way…" he said in a whisper.

"Do you know them, Boruto?" Sarada asked.

''Yeah… sort of. I never met them in person before." Boruto said. "They're my grandparents."

"You mean… That's the lord Fourth?" Sarada gasped. Boruto nodded.

Kushina approached the group, Minato close behind. "What's going on here, children?" she turned to Boruto. "Why do you look like you just saw a ghost? It's not like we died in a war is it?"

Boruto was speechless and only shook his head. Sarada spoke up for him. "Oh it's nothing, Ma'am, Lord Fourth." She said, addressing Minato.

Kushina suddenly laughed. Sarada just looked at her expectantly. "Sarada-chan, are you okay? My husband wasn't the Fourth Hokage. It was your Grandfather!"

Sarada paled. "WHAT?!"

"You might want to look up there." Minato said pointing at the Hokage faces.

Sarada peeked at the mountain and nearly choked at what she saw. They were right, instead of Minato's face, it was her grandfather. But what shocked her the most was the last face.

"PAPA IS THE SEVENTH HOKAGE?!"

AN: I know its short, but it's just a prologue yet. If you guys like it, I'll be going through with the chapters of this fic. This will not take until 10 chapters. Only 5 or 6 at the most. Please review! I'll be asking for ideas from you guys for the future chapters as well! :D
