Is it wrong to pick up a kitten in the backyard?

"BIg browtha!"

Boruto entered the dining hall and saw Hima waving her arm at him, he waved back and sat down beside Hinata.

"Here! Everyone, enjoy the food"

Hanabi placed the trays of food one by one and also took a seat for herself.

"Thank you for the meal!"

"I see...but I can't come there, and Naruto can't either, you're a kazekage, you know how tough it is to maitain a village"

A man with White hair and black eyes with a scar vertically running on his left side of his face was seemingly talking to a person through a communication device.

"....I under Hatake-san, but if possible, I'm hoping for Naruto or his family to come"

A voice came from the device that Kakashi was now using, The former fell silent, he pondered a bit before speaking.

"I'll see what I can do, Gaara"

*beep*

"Who was it?"

A man with spikey hair that was tied to a ponytail with a sharp goatee beard curiously asked kakashi.

"...It was Gaara, he asked if Naruto's family can visit the banquet that's being held in the sand village...What do you say, Shikamaru"

Shikamaru pulled out a cigar and lit it, he smoked out before replying.

"We can send them but...Temari will go along with them, and besides, she said she wanted to visit her home so i see no problem"

Kakashi nodded, he then looked at the cigar inbetween Shikamaru's fingers.

*Foosh*

"Hey! That was the last one!"

"No smoking here at the Hokage's office"

Kakashi shook his head, Shikamaru sighed before exiting the Hokage's Office.

'Now...would Naruto agree? I can't send him because it will weaken the village's firepower if he went away, even sasuke is not here inside the village *sigh*....Being Hokage is so tiring"

Kakashi sat on his chair before pulling out a cigar, he lit it up and poked a hole on his mask.

'I still haven't seen that kid Boruto yet...maybe in the future, I would have to take an interview with him'

Boruto was now inside a room with Hiashi, everyone else had already gone to sleep.

"...It was on a peaceful night like this when the nine-tails' tragedy happened"

Hiashi said while sipping a bit from his cup of tea, Boruto glanced at him gesturing him to continue.

"I've already said everything I know of the past to you"

"Yeah"

Another moment of silence filled the atmosphere, Hiashi placed his tea on the small table before looking into Boruto's eyes.

"Boruto, you can always be confident in your strength...but never be overconfident, don't let pride disrupt your decisions...I'm telling this out of experience, Pride never has and ever will be a good emotion. Remember Boruto, It is a living hell if someone is obsessed by Pride, Ego and anger"

Boruto looked at the ceiling as he mulled over at his words, he then looked at the old man sitting infront of him.

"Thanks, old man"

Hiashi gently smiled when he saw that Boruto didn't ignore his words, He wanted the best for his grandson, even if it was just words...if it helped him in his journey, it was something valuable.

"Good, now go get some sleep ...and by the way, No training tommorow, resting is as important as training"

Boruto nodded as he exited from the room, Hiashi closed his eyes and rested his body on the wall behind him.

The night went by, Boruto woke up around 6:00 at the morning, he went towards the backyard with a water balloon in his hand.

'If I'm correct, the first step is Rotation'

He filled the balloon with water and held it in his palm, at first he slowly inserted chakra inside the balloon and made the balloon juggle a bit.

Then he accelerated the pace, the balloon extend a bit before it died down.

'Hmm...oh yeah! I need to spin the water counter-clock wise and clockwise at the same time'

He again channeled his chakra inside the ballon, but this time the outcome was different.

Spikes started popping out of the ballon randomly, it again died down making Boruto roll his eyes.

'Prr, what was i expecting...i need to insert more force'

He tried again, this time the spikes came out faster and more aggressively, the balloon violently shook and extended in his palm.

*pop*

'Welp...i guess chakra control helps in lots of things'

Boruto looked at himself, his clothes were all went, he was going to enter the building but he felt something tug his pants.

"Meow~"

A small black kitty with white fur on its paws started circling his legs, Boruto carefully took the kitty in his arms.

"Wassup little fella, you lost?"

He gently caressed its head, The small kitty lowered its head and tugged it inside his arms.

Boruto observered his suroundings, but he failed to find another cat nearby, he again looked at the small kitty in his arms. It was shaking a little.

"Its cold here, let's get you some warm milk"

He carried the kitty and body flickered to his room, he placed the kitty in the fluffy bed that was on the floor.

After a bit the kitty stopped trembling, it was sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

'I shouldn't let Hima near him...wait, is it a he or a she? '

Boruto had a puzzled expression, he neared the small kitty and looked on its back.

'It doesn't have any balls...its probably a she'

He nodded to himself before stepping out of the room, he quickly went to the kitchen and grabbed a pack of milk.

He heated it up and poured it in a small oval shaped cup, and then took it to the small kitten.

"Here"

He placed it infront of the small kitten, However the kitty was still sleeping peacefully.

"C'mon wakky wakky, Breakfast is ready"

The kitten didn't respond.

"Wake up you little shit!"

"Meow~"

The kitten slowly woke up, it rolled on the ground before standing up...it neared the bowl and licked it.

It then started to sip the milk faster.

'Where does all that milk go to?'

Boruto was speechless, he looked at the sleeping kitten with a surprised expression, the small fragile kitty finished the whole cup of milk under 5 minutes.

'Oh yeah...the animals in this world are different'

He pulled the blanket and placed it on top of the kitten, he went towards the wall and sat on the floor.

He rested his body on it and looked at the kitty.

'...Should I name it? Or do I try to find its parent?'

He diverted his gaze from the kitten and looked at his palm.

'I need to create the rasengan'

*Knock*

"Come in"

He was brought out of his thoughts by the knock, the door opened and he saw Hiashi step inside.

"....Is that a, cat?"

"What does it look like to you...a pigeon?"

Hiashi glanced at Boruto, the latter nervously smirked.

"Atleast i tried"

Hiashi shook his head at his grandson's stupid joke, he went towards the kitten and sat beside it.

"You named it yet?"

"Nah"

Boruto just waved his hands, Hiashi pondered a for quite a while.

"What about...Uchuu"
