The girl who hides her feelings under a mask.

*** School Academy - current time is 13.59. Teacher Shino nervously taps his heel on the floor, carefully looking at the clock, here it is 14.00! -And so class, lesson time is over, everyone is free! Don't forget about your homework! [After that, just like that time, he jumped out of the classroom like a bullet, leaving him with Sumire.] -Class! Don't forget your things, and do your best with your homework! [Sumire was standing in the middle of the class at that moment, smiling at the whole class.] -Yesss Miss Class rep! [The whole class answered in unison, collecting their supplies in their bags] Suddenly Boruto approached Sumire and asked with excitement in his voice. -Eto.. Class rep.. Would you like to come with me, Denki, and Shikadai for some burgers?! I'm treating you! -Sorry, Boruto-kun. -Go without me, and maybe I’ll join you later. [The class leader answered slyly, immediately repeating to herself that burgers are harmful, but did not lecture the young Uzumaki.] -Okay, see you, headman! [Boruto raised his hand in farewell, and together with Denki and Shikadai they left the academy] Sumire saw that only Sarada remained in the class, who seemed to ignore what was happening and continued to read the book. -Sarada! The lesson is long over! [Sumire said loudly but politely.] She just raised her head and looked around; besides her and Sumire, there was no one else in the class. She stood up and put her bag on her shoulder, slowly starting to walk down towards Sumire. -Listen, Sumire. I really want to talk to you. [The Uchiha answered seriously, after which she approached Sumire almost point-blank, looking her straight in the eyes, but Sumire only smiled and asked politely.] -Uh-huh, what do you want to talk about Sarada? [Hidting her hands behind her back, smiling at the Uchiha, she looked at her the same way.] -Listen, come on, at least for a minute you will remove your façade of the headman, and Sumire? [Sumire was surprised at first, and then exhaled and became serious, realizing that the conversation with the Uchiha would obviously be tense.] -So what did you want? [The class leader asked calmly and seriously.] -You wouldn’t know, Sumire Kakei. [Sarada took a few steps and now the girls were already standing with their sides facing each other, Sarada was no longer looking at her, but only at the exit from the academies] -You stole something from me, Sumire. -And I ask you not to pretend to be an innocent fool. [At that moment, Sumire felt a certain excitement that seemed to say to her: Come on, come on!] -And what did I steal from you? -I became so interested, I can’t stand it anymore, say it! [Sarada just exhaled and then said] -Guess what, “Miss Class Prefect” -I’ll just say one thing, Sumire. -What you stole belongs to Me. [After a moment's pause] -I will take back what belongs to me. -Don’t even doubt it, and it will happen very soon. -I'll give you a few days to think. -And then. Do not complain! [Sarada began to leave, and when the girls already had their backs to each other, she turned around and smiled maliciously at Sumire, either making fun of her, or provoking a certain reaction, or generally wanting to completely piss her off.] -Oh, you know, I really wanted some burgers, hehe. [Sumire was silent all this time, as if guided by the phrase “The word is silver, silence is golden,” and only after Sarada left, slamming the door behind her, did Sumire speak.] “I have no idea what I stole from you, but I’m not at all interested in your children’s quirks, Sarada.” -Oh, I understand, you are the daughter of a hero of World War 4, what’s his name? -Uchiha Sasuke! -Although, Daddy Demigod sounds better! Just cry to him and he will come running to help! -And the daughter of a hero should be respected and feared, right?! -But I'm not afraid of you. -Neither you nor your half-God daddy. -Okay, screw it all! I have more important things to do. [Sumire completely inspected the classroom, making sure that it was clean and that no one had forgotten anything, she left the classroom and closed the door.] [When she was leaving the academies, she noticed the following picture at the exit: Near the entrance stood: Metal Lee, Shikadai Nara and Denki Kanarimon, and Shikadai said something to him with his hand on his shoulder, but he suddenly knocked his hand away and screamed ] -I thought we were friends! -How can you support my father’s idea?! [At this moment, Metal Li seemed to go crazy and kicked Shikadai off his feet] -Metal, what are you doing?! [Denki didn’t have time to finish, when he also snatched it from a Shinobi who was quite good at Tai-Jutsu. Metal’s face depicted something between a sadistic smile and a hard grin, just as he was about to hit again, when he noticed Shikadai’s shadow, he quickly jumped back, and began to run away, beautifully knowing that Shikadai could hit the square with a shadow] -Follow him! -Yes! [Denki said uncertainly] -Boruto! -Do you hear? -Yes, yes, I’m already at the checkout, what should you take? -There’s no time for that now, Boruto! -Metal suddenly went crazy! Come back immediately! -What?! [The blond muttered dissatisfied, turning around as he walked without finishing his order.] -I'm running, wait! Sumire at that moment was watching all this from afar, as soon as the guys chased Metal, Sumire began to rejoice, almost starting to dance. -Ha. Haha!.., now this is getting interesting! -I want to see how my dear classmates will tear each other apart. The newly awakened excitement inside Sumire forced her to follow the guys. It didn’t take long to pursue them; Metal led his “friends,” so to speak in such a situation, into an open field, where there were a lot of places for maneuvers, but at the same time, a lot of places where you could hide from the gaze and shadow of Shikadai. -What's gotten into you, Metal?! [Shikadai asked, all nervous and with a drop of sweat on his head.] -You me, very, very. VERY DISAPPOINTED! -And for this now we will play “crime and punishment” With these words, Metal rushed to attack Shikadai, while simultaneously dodging his shadows, and smiling cheekily while talking to Shikadai. -Why can’t you get in?! -Come on, young tactician, hang me up! [Shikadai put his hands in a full grip seal, but Metal was faster, Shikadai was very surprised when he used this technique, but there was no Metal in it!] -Ha! -You think I'm stupid enough to fall into this! -I have seen you perform this technique many times. -You can't catch me Shikadai Nara! [What a hassle, my chakra is only enough for one such attack!] Shikadai could only parry the attacks, but he also had a limit!] At this moment, Sumire hid behind a tree and only watched the progress of the battle. -So this is the strength of Gozu Tenno. -I didn’t know that in addition to collecting chakra into the fruit, it also strengthens its bearer. -However, it’s interesting, I think the outcome of the battle is already predetermined. -Come on! -Knock them out! -And give me all your chakra! [Sumire was clearly enjoying this fight, this Metal Lee madness. This was also part of her revenge. She recalled how her father told her that the shinobi, the same shinobi whom he wanted to protect as well as the inhabitants, took up arms against his family, mom and dad ran away, and they chased them, throwing kunai and wounding her mother in the back, then the father was consumed by bloodlust, he flew into a rage and killed all his pursuers, he was covered in blood, and he himself was covered in wounds, it was the clash of Shinobi friends and allies that turned Sumire on so much, she was so happy.] *** -What. What is this?! [Boruto stood in a stupor, he was in horror that seemed to be bound by invisible chains his whole body. After all, he saw not just a fight among friends, he saw how a monstrous aura oozed through Metal’s body, he felt incredible hatred in this evil aura. At that moment, Shikadai noticed Boruto and screamed.] -Boruto! -Why the hell are you standing there and looking at what’s happening?! , -Come on, come here and help us! -But I.. [Boruto began to stutter in fear due to the monstrous Aura that surrounded Metal's body.] -FASTER! [Shikadai commanded, breaking into a scream] [Boruto had to overcome his fear and break these chains that were holding him back.] [Meanwhile, Shikadai began to get tired, and Metal was able to give him a strong uppercut, causing Shikadai to fly into the air and crash to the ground] -It's great! How cool! I can't! -Ahahahaha! aaaaah! hahahaha! [Sumire said all this without holding back her laughter.] -Gha! [Shikadai groaned, at that moment Denki also overcame his fear, jumped out and stood in the pose of a defender, placing his hands in the middle of Shikadai and Metal, he said loudly] -Metal, please stop! -Ah Denki, I managed to forget about you, but now you will get it too! [Metal slowly walked towards Denki, not afraid of him at all] -What are you going to do to me, brat?! [Metal Played on Denki's weakness] But he was interrupted by the fact that Boruto was flying towards him at full speed, so fast that Metal did not have time to dodge but only placed a block, which forced him to fly back several meters in a defensive stance. Boruto was surprised because he kicked from his feet, so for sure. -Ah, Boruto. And then I started to get bored. -What has gotten into you Metal?! [Boruto stood in a shinobi stance looking at him] -This aura. It’s as if she awakened everything bad that is in Metal.. [Boruto looked into the eyes of his fear] -Aura?! [Recovering their senses, Denki and Shikadai asked at the same time] -What are you talking about Boruto?! [Shikadai asked Boruto without holding back his emotions] -Don’t you see?! [The blond asked in surprise, without taking his eyes off Metal Lee. Shikadai was still looking at him while lying on the ground.] -Okay, we'll talk about this later, Boruto! -In the meantime [Shikadai established a connection in Boruto's mind.] -Distract him! -Understood! [Also responding via Boruto's communication] -Well?! How long do I have to wait, Boruto?! -With you, I will give it my all, I will prove to my father that I can defeat the Shinobi team myself, killing one at a time! Boruto just said rudely: let's get started, Metal Lee! , Metal did not wait for the start and attacked Boruto, he began to hit with full force, but Boruto unexpectedly began to parry his blows, what is happening, Uzumaki answered himself in surprise? -How can you dodge like that?! [But Boruto didn’t respond, he just waited for the moment to strike.] [Unfortunately for Boruto, Metal understood and saw through his plan and pretending that he was exhausted and began to lose his balance, pretending that he was falling, he gave Boruto false hope of attack, Boruto did not understand this and deciding that Metal was really exhausted, began his counterattack, however.] -Get it! [Uzumaki shouted, pointing his fist with all his might at Metal's face, but Metal only smiled evilly and hypocritically, and then made a sharp turn, kicking Boruto in the chin with his foot, forcing him, like Shikadai, but only higher and more painfully to hit the ground, from which Boruto croaking and spitting blood out of his mouth!] -Gha! How?!.. -I was sure it would work!.. -I. Lost?.. [Boruto felt like he was paralyzed] -Boruto-kun!!.. [Sumire screamed unable to bear it, but then covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes became wide, empty and crazy, her legs felt like they were made of cotton, and she almost fell to the ground.] Meanwhile, Metal began to approach Boruto and smile maliciously. -Not bad, not bad Boruto. -You were able to cheer me up, but... -This is the end. [Suddenly, Metal heard a buzzing sound, he turned around and saw a Denki drone flying at him at breakneck speed, with a kunai attached to each side] -Ahahahaha?! Denki?! , -You decided in the end to make me laugh so hard that I broke my stomach?! Oh, this could be your plan, like I laugh, fall and lose, right?! -Well, let's play! [The drone began to pursue Metal at breakneck speed, but he began to dodge through a somersault, Metal was so carried away that he did not notice that the Drone was leading him along the route, suddenly the Drone beeped, the battery began to run low, and the drone began to slow down, completely lost in excitement, Metal jumped with great speed and began to fly under the drone, finding a weak point, namely the transmissions under the bottom of the drone, with a frantic and full of pleasure scream, he hit the drone with all his might, so that it flew into pieces, suddenly he personally jumped out in front of Metal behind Denki's bushes, clutching a kunai.] -Well, Denki, it’s just you and me left. -No more tricks. But Denki did not back down, this only fueled Metal's pleasure. He felt like a cat that had cornered a mouse, but unfortunately it was he who turned into a mouse that was cornered by a pack of hungry cats because Metal did not realize that he was in a trap. -Boruto! Shikadai! Now! [He said this over the phone.] Suddenly Metal was caught in place. - What?! [He saw Shikadai's shadow behind him] -And when only..? [Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and saw Boruto, who, with difficulty keeping himself conscious, flew out at full speed with his fist at him, but what a surprise the guys were when, despite Shikadai Nara’s paralysis, Metal was able to grab Boruto’s hand] -I underestimated you! -Even a cornered rat can bite painfully. Metal, despite the paralysis, strained all his strength and began to twist Boruto’s arm, screaming and trembling, trying to break out of the paralysis. -It's rubbish Boruto! He.. -It suppresses shadows! Everything seemed lost, but... Flash! A flash came out of Boruto's eye, a flash of lightning that blinded everyone around him! Boruto and Metal flew away from each other. Both somersaulting on the ground. -What was it? How painful it is... [ Coughing on the floor and kneeling, then Metal spoke to his feet] But he fell to his knees again, feeling paralyzed again, he realized that Denki and Shikadai were holding him with their shadow. -No..! I was so close to my goal... [Metal said hoarsely, breaking down into tears.] Boruto also got to his feet, he slowly walked towards Metal, when suddenly he froze in a stupor again, the shadow began to disappear, when it completely disappeared, Metal began to look around, in complete incomprehension. -Where I am? And what happened?! -What?! [The guys shouted in unison] -Have you already forgotten how we fought and how you were possessed? -I?! Did you fight? What the?.. -He's telling the truth, it looks like he doesn't remember. -That ominous shadow has disappeared. At that moment, all the chakra went to Sumire, standing behind a tree with difficulty staying on her feet, she absorbed all the chakra that Metal gave her, she trembled and felt incredible pleasure, she hugged herself with her arms because she felt so good. -What a pleasant feeling. -It’s like I was born again. -I feel so good. -I'm happy again. -I’m so happy that I want to forget... She decided to look at the guys, and noticed that all the guys lay on their backs, they were completely exhausted. -Sorry guys. -I don’t understand what came over me. -Nothing, Metal. -I saw a strange aura around you, so I believe that you are not from evil. [Said the blond, smiling back at him] -Well, what a hassle, it was something like that. [Shikadai responded with a yawn] Denki just listened silently, it seems he hasn’t gotten over it all yet. -Well, you surprised me, what happens, I’m the only one who has done this to you?! -Yes. [Finally, Denki said something.] -Thank you for stopping me. [Metal laughed and infected his friends with laughter] -Ahahahaha! [the guys laughed out loud] -What did you think friends are for? -Who other than a friend will give you a helping hand?! [Friends mean? Metal Lee thought to himself while smiling at Boruto, Denki and Shikadai.] -Well, let's go to the Burger Shop, huh?! [The young Uzumaki said in a low voice with joy!] -Hold your horses, Boruto, at least let me come to my senses! [Denki and Shikidai answered in unison] Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Rock Lee appeared. It turns out he was watching the battle all this time. -Well, did your son let off some steam? -I finally understand why friends are needed?! [Metal stood up and looked at his father seriously, and then bowed] -Now I understand, father! -S.. Thank you for sending me to the academy! -And I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you at first... [Pleased with Rock Lee's answer, he showed a thumbs up and said] -Boruto, Shikadai, Denki! -Excellent teamwork! -You're great -They still drilled into my son’s thick little head what friendship is! [Metal became embarrassed and began to argue with his father] -Father! -Don't say that in front of my friends! -That’s how you started singing, son?! -What's okay! -Let's go to the Burger Shop, whatever you want is at my expense! [Said Rock Lee, who was filled with the power of youth!] -Yesss!!! [Denki and Metal scream loudly] -How hungry I am... [Shikadai said quietly.] [While the guys were arguing about what they would take, Boruto suddenly felt a strange feeling, he looked around and looked around, he felt a mysterious but so attractive and mysterious chakra emanating from the trees, it seemed like the source of this chakra was behind them] Boruto didn't even notice how Metal Lee fell to the ground behind him, he lost consciousness. He also didn’t notice how Rock Lee, Denki and Shikadai tried to bring him to his senses, how they shouted and called him back, he simply followed the trail of this mysterious chakra, towards the trees behind which Sumire was hiding and watching all this time.] When Sumire saw Boruto firmly and decisively walking towards her, he was wounded, she remembered how Metal Lee threw him into the air, and how he writhed in pain, she shuddered from this, and wanted to urgently retreat through the bushes, but froze when she felt as if their eyes met, as if Boruto had now looked into her soul. She began to breathe heavily, and the gozu shadow began to unbearably burn her back and whole body, she shuddered and wanted to scream when for a second it seemed to her that a huge white eye was looking at her! -W.. what, what.. What is happening to me, what is this feeling?! -I'm afraid?! -No!.. -What's wrong with me... -I want to go home! -If only a miracle would happen and I would be home! -Anywhere, just not be here! Sumire burst into tears. Sumire stood in a stupor, and tears fell from her eyes, she was trembling. and didn’t know what to do when suddenly the master’s voice sobered her up. -Sumire!! -Retreat immediately! -That's an order!! -Retreat immediately!! -I see you have absorbed chakra, create a portal and imagine where you want to be! [That’s what Sumire did, on wild adrenaline she opened a portal and fell into it, at the same moment Boruto felt that the chakra had disappeared, and there was no one and nothing behind the trees, his white eye turned blue again.] -What was it?.. -I definitely felt chakra in this place. -So attractive... [A portal opened in Sumire's house, she looked around nervously] -Home.. This is my home! -God bless! This is truly my home, how quiet it is. how safe. [In such silence, Sumire could only hear the wild beating of her heart.] Without even bothering to change clothes, she simply fell onto the bed. It took her about 10 minutes to recover from the shock and adrenaline. -My heart almost jumped out of my chest!.. -Please tell me it was a dream, just a joke! That tomorrow I will wake up and realize that it was just a dream!.. Sumire wanted to close her eyes and just fall asleep, but still hunger and adrenaline were hitting her mind. She took out the canned goods, opening them with trembling hands, again injuring her hand, this time slashing the blade all over her palm, the hot blood began to bring her to her senses, holding a can in her good hand and in a cut spoon, which she bought when she returned after sowing in Metalle, a seedling, she began to absorb the contents of the jar with some crazy speed. Having eaten, changed clothes, and bandaged her hand, as Namida taught her she lay down on the bed, placing her hand on her head. She began to think about everything that happened during this crazy day. -The day started “Simply great” -First, Sarada flew at me from the bay of floundering and out of nowhere blame me. “I have no idea what I stole there, and I don’t care what she fantasized about.” -These childish quirks of hers, ahhhh! All! F*ck her! -Then there was an incredible fight between Metal, Shikadai and Denki. -I laughed so hard. -And in the end, I absorbed chakra for the first time! -I could! I was able to take revenge! -And at least a little, but I could! -The first one is ready! -I finally felt happy! -But that was until Boruto showed up. -Everything seemed to be turned upside down. -Was it really me?.. [Sumire remembered how she screamed, with such pain and shock, when Metal threw Boruto off his feet and how he fell to the ground and coughed up blood, it was so that for a moment she stopped realizing where she was and what was happening, her eyes again became empty and she slightly didn't fall to her knees.] Sumire covered her face with her hands and felt hot tears running down her face again. -Why does it hurt me so much when I see Boruto-Kun suffering?.. -When he gets injured... -When he's in pain.. -I.. Am I really worried and worried about him?.. This.. With these thoughts, Sumire herself did not notice how she fell asleep
