Disclaimer: I do NOT own Boruto: Next Generations
                          
(I however do own the group Mushimi and its members)
                          
Boruto's POV
                          
	"Wait! Boruto!" My Mom called out as I sprinted out of the front door.
                          
I turned around to face her. It has been a few days since the assassination incident and Mom and Dad have been really protective. Especially Himawari, she can't even walk out of the house without Mom grabbing her and hauling her back in.
                          
"Mom, I need to go! I have a meeting with Mitsuki and Sarada. I promise I'll be safe!" I pleaded with her, I really needed to go to the meeting because we were discussing our next move with Mushimi.
                          
I could not miss it.
                          
"Are you sure you're going to be safe?" She asked while standing at the front door.
                          
"Yes! I am strong enough to protect myself! Like that night when she came, I fought her and came out perfectly fine!" I told her grinning. 
                          
I heard a sigh come from her and she gave me a weak smile.
                          
"Ok... Come back in 3 hours, otherwise I will go looking for you." 
                          
I nodded and turned around to leave. After I heard the door shut I started to dash towards Training Ground 7, where we'll be having our meeting.
                          
	When I finally got there I was panting. 
                          
"Hey Boruto." Mitsuki smiled. 
                          
I nodded my head at him to acknowledge him. 
                          
"You're late." Sarada stated, leaning on a tree on my far right.
                          
I rubbed the back of my neck and muttered a "sorry.." 
                          
"Whatever, we need to talk about that city we found Boruto." Sarada said to me while walking towards me and sitting down. 
                          
"We don't really know much about it. The buildings were made out of some weird type of metal. Maybe it was Mushimi's base? It seemed pretty big, and that was just one building we explored." I said. 
                          
"Maybe.." Sarada contemplated. 
                          
"Hmm." Was all Mitsuki said. 
                          
"Why would they try to assassinate your sister Boruto?" Mitsuki asked.
                          
"I have no idea, Shato admitted it to being Mushimi, but... She was gone before I woke up." I told them. 
                          
"We might need to go spelunking." Sarada said, making us look at her weirdly.
                          
She put her hand over her face.
                          
"I mean we need to explore the cave and the city!" She explained and we "oohed" and nodded. 
                          
"My mother would never allow me to go through. The attack has put her on edge." 
                          
"Well that's understandable." Sarada answered.
                          
"We could go at night. No one would know, just leave a shadow clone at your bed." we both looked at Mitsuki.
                          
"That's good!" Sarada told him while smiling. 
                          
"Yeah! I'll do that! So when should this happen?" I asked.
                          
"Tonight." Sarada said.
                          
	She smirked and got up. 
                          
"Alright boys, see you tonight, we'll meet here at 11 PM." Then she walked off. 
                          
I also got up and walked towards my house, leaving Mitsuki sitting there.
