Naruto : Shadow King

Boruto was feeling uneasy ever since he saw both Hinata and Shika together. He had seen Hinata with Shika earlier and couldn't shake the thought that something might change in the timeline if they got too close. If his dad and mother didn't end up together, what would happen to him and Himawari?

Boruto thought and shuddered, he glanced at the side only to see the boy who look much like himself playing around and sigh. What he supposed to expect, even though he don't expect his mother to fall for someone like this kid who was his father?

If only he knew...

"Hey, Naruto," Boruto started casually, "what do you think of Hinata?"

Naruto blinked, looking confused. "Hinata? You mean that quiet girl from class? She's nice, I guess. Kinda weird though, she always faints around me."

'Quiet girl ! what the hell ? Don't tell me you didn't even know Mother by now. At least your guys should be friends or something right ?' Boruto's tension got intensified. Never have he ever felt so much animosity towards his best friend than today. Though Shika wasn't Shikadai but they looked almost exactly identical.

Boruto raised an eyebrow but kept his cool. "Weird, huh? She's with that guy Shika a lot though, right? What do you think of him?"

"Oh, Shika?" Naruto at this lit up. "He's kinda lazy, but he's pretty smart. And super strong too, he is already a Chunin. He even beat Sasuke Temme before. Even taught me how to use Shadow Clones correctly in training..." Naruto said with a big grin obviously their relationship was far better after Shika acknowledged him and helped him out.

Boruto's heart raced. Shika was definitely close to both Naruto and Hinata. "Do you think they might… you know, like each other?" he asked, trying to sound as casual as possible.

Naruto laughed. "Nah, Shika's too lazy to care about that stuff. The only time he's not lazying around when he's training."

Boruto let out a small sigh of relief but still couldn't shake his worries. "By the way," he added, "where did Shika come from? He looks kinda familiar."

Naruto shrugged. "He's Shikamaru's cousin, though I can't say that he is your typical Nara."

'huh... Shikadai's uncle ? Dude look soo much like Shikadai that I would call him his father. Is Shikamaru san really Shikadai's father. Did Aunt Temari...? No No No No... don't think about it. What is more important right now is to figure out how I am gonna make dad and mom together.'

Shika after leaving Hinata back to her place, which basically every boy should do, no matter even the girl is a kunoichi, made his way toward his home.

Right now he just wanted to stay out of sight of both Boruto and Sasuke. That was the best idea he had, they were her for a reason, basically to stop Urashiki... so he better let them do their job and go back to their timeline.

As long as he as don't appear in front of them too much, he personally believes that they won't go after his unusual existence.

But just when he was going home suddenly an Anbu ninja appeared in front of him, making him tense, he was again very much on guard on anyone who resembled like Anbu, you never know whether they are Anbu or Root right?

"Lady Tsunade urgently needs you in the hospital." the Anbu said, and didn't disappear like they usually do, but remained there. No doubt Tsunade orders to drag him to the Hospital if refuses.

'Damn... this was supposed to be my off day...' Shika wanted to grumble but nodded nonetheless.

His day was already ruined anyway, so what a big problem with going to the Hospital... its only slightly worse than going back home and taking a nap.

...

Hmm...

Okay maybe a lot worse but what he supposed to do Huh ? Refuse the esteem future Hokage of the leaf?

"Sigh... life sucks hard for me for few days. At this rate I rather become a Roge Ni..." Shika mutters with irritation on his face.

By the time Shika arrives at the Hospital, he notices a little commotion on the side. And the middle of this commotion was none other than the woman of his disdain.

"Brat, what took you so long..." Tsunade shouted as he all but dashed towards him, ready to drag him away.

"I don't know, maybe a simple off day where I was relaxing but you made me come back to this place ?" Shika said with clear irritation on his face, not even trying to hide it.

"What ? what off day, Medical Nin don't have one of those things in their lives." Tsunade retorted, obviously not ready to give in.

"I am no Medical Nin."

"Ridiculous, with that amazing healing ability, its a waste to put you in anywhere else. Now stop wasting time and lets get going." Tsunade smacked Shika on the head, making him grumble again and dragged him inside a hospital room.

Ever since this woman learned about his reverse curse technique, there was no running away from her. At least both Jiraiya and Shizune didn't rat him out and disclose the existence of his round deer to her or else he would have permanently had lost one of his Shikigami.

Grumbling Shika entered the room only too see Shizune and two more medical-nin healing a badly injured Jonin.

Shika's grumbling face immediately disappeared. He immediately walk up to the person, now knowing why Tsunade has to urgently have to call for him.

"He has lost too much blood. And is seriously suffering from Chakra exhaustion. He has no power left in his body, to the point that even Medical Jutsu is barely working on him." Tsunade with a little hesitation.

Her problem with blood was now much better, partly becuase Mahoraga did a number on her and partly because becuase now she come in contact with blood daily to the point that she was building some sort of immunity.

Shika frowned hearing this... a Ninja's chakra can also be said to his lifeline. Chakra after all is a combination of both spiritual and physical energies.

If a person is completely drained then it means their body won't have enough resources to properly work anymore. This could be very dangerous for anyone, besides few cheat-like characters like Naruto.

Even medical jutsu simulates the natural healing process to heal someone, but if the patient's body is lacking what is needed to repair itself then even medical jutsu can't do much.

Shika didn't bother wasting time, the man won't' survive if he lost too much blood, chakra exhaustion can be cure, there are many ways, but healing him was the most important.

Shika quickly drew RCT and started healing the guy. Unlike healing jutsu, RCT doesn't need to simulate others' body, all the energy comes from the RCT user itself.

"How this happened? The wound aside, how he lost chakra to such a level that he is no longer conscious ?" Shika asked while healing the man.

"Don't know, Anbu is still looking."

Shika hearing this frowned, someone came to his mind and he didn't like it.
