"Wow. I can't believe it. Boruto's that good with kids?" Chocho tilted her head, her amber eyes brightened with amazement.
"Yes, I am surprised as well. I always saw Boruto-kun as someone brash and reckless." Sumire supplied from her side, hands clasped together.
The object of their observation was oblivious to their thoughts, surrounded by a horde of kids tugging at his pants and everywhere they could grab on. Any normal boy of their age would be annoyed but here Boruto was, smiling and laughing along the kids, eager to listen to their stories and eager to teach them ninjutsu.
The reason behind Boruto being surrounded by kids was the Annual Ninja Fair that was organised by Shinobi alliance every year to interest young children in Shinobis and their life style as well as their importance. The venue could be any of the hidden villages. This time it was Konoha's turn.
Chocho was laughing at the scene of Boruto trying to deal with a tantrum throwing child when Sumire pointed at something. Their line of sight ended up on Sarada.
Their friend had a beautiful smile on her face as she looked over Boruto and the kids surrounding him.
Chiocho smirked. "Class rep! Let's have some fun, shall we?"
Sarada was shaking her head fondly when Boruto picked the crying kid up and placed him up on his shoulders.
"Sarada!" a shout of familiar voice brought her out of her stupor.
"Chocho, class rep? What's the matter? Do you need more volunteers on your stall? I have a few-"
"No, we were just wondering, why is Boruto this good with kids?"
Sarada raised her brows, she could not understand why people thought that she had a doctorate degree for the topic – 'Boruto: his likes, dislikes, feelings and behaviours'. But, she knew an answer to this one so she entertained them.
"Isn't it obvious? He has a little sister at home. He might behave like a punk normally but when it comes to his sister and other people in general, he actually becomes quite responsible. He's always been like this." She takes a glance at him and moves forward to deal with some other stuff.
It is then when Chocho says something loud enough for her to listen, "I'm relieved class-rep. Sarada's future children will have a good father in him."
...
"Boruto-nii?" He hears the child sitting on his shoulders speak up.
"Yes?"
"Why is your girlfriend so mad at her friends that she's chasing them?" the child asks innocently.
Boruto turns towards Sarada instinctively, that is only when he realises-
Suddenly, a loud scream of "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" scares away all the children in the area.
