No one's POV

After the U.A. Sports Festival had ended, Class 1-A went back to their classroom. The students will soon realized just how important today was. And they'd start to gain attention from this point off

Aizawa: Good work. So there will be no school tomorrow or the day after. I'm sure pro heroes who watched the sports festival will want to recruit you, but we'll consolidate everything and announce it when you get back. So rest well, and look forward to that.

Everyone: Yes, sir!

Afterwards, Shota excuses Class 1-A from the next two days of school to recuperate and announces they will review draft forms when they return.

(Timeskip)

After school was over, Sora soon arrived at his House. He openly greeted 'I'm Home' like per usual and head inside. Sora was planning to relax all day today and do absolutely nothing since he was still tired after the Sport Festival. Not to mention the pain in his left side was still there. The moment Sora opened the door to his living room, he was expecting to be greeted by his Mother and Little Sister per usual, but to his surprise, his Father, Naruto was also there.

Sora: Dad!

Naruto: Yo.

Himawari: Welcome home.

Hinata: Dad bought us this.

Suddenly, Hinata came out from the kitchen holding out a cake. It had 4 set of candles and 6 strawberries on top of it. Then two chocolate bars that spells Sora and Himawari's name in it, alongside a chocolate cream that says Happy Birthday. Seeing this, Sora was surprised.

Sora: Dad bought us?

Naruto: I'm sorry it's late.

Naruto says with a snarky smile. But at the same time he was genuinely apologizing to not just Sora but Himawari as well. Well how could he not apologize? Not to long ago, not even a year has passed but Naruto missed both Sora and Himawari's birthday consecutively because he was busy with work. But today and tomorrow Naruto had decided to take a break from Hero's duty and focused on his family.

Himawari: Thank you, Papa!

Sora: Dad...

Out of nowhere, Sora suddenly threw a punch onto Naruto's stomach. Not expecting this, Naruto eyes pop out wide and big as he winced in pain. On the other hand, Sora gave a smug.

Sora: Oh, so I guess it's not a shadow clone this time. Well I guess I can let you off with just that today.

Feeling annoyed at Sora's smug attitude, Naruto grabbed Sora's head and give him a headlock while also messing with his hair. And of course Sora doesn't like it one bit.

Naruto: What the heck are you doing springing that on me so suddenly?!

Sora: Ow! Ow! It's your fault in the first place!

Naruto: What was that?!

Himawari: Papa, Big Bro... Me too!

Himawari who wanted to tagged along jumped onto Naruto's back. Naruto caution Himawari to be careful since jumping onto someone's back could be dangerous. Then one voice echoed that sent shiver onto everyone's spine.

Hinata: All of you, stop messing around! Or else, I'll put the cake away!

Naruto, Sora, Himawari: !!

That made all three of them stop and look at Hinata tearfully and started apologizing.

Naruto: Hey, you can't do that!

Sora: Please give us a break, Mom!

Himawari: I'm sorry!

Hinata: Fufufu...

In the end all Hinata could do was giggle. Knowing it was just an act, Sora, Naruto, and Himawari all smile as well and started laughing.

Himawari: Hey, hey. Let's hurry up and eat the cake.

Naruto: Yeah! My stomach is rumbling.

Seeing this exchange, Sora smiles deepen. This time, Naruto had kept his promise to Sora since he has won the bet. Sora bet that if he won the Sport Festival, Naruto would start giving more attention to his family.

Sora: Yeah, me too.

Hinata: Alright, I'll set things up. But first... There is something that needs to be done, am I right?

Naruto: Yeah.

Sora: ?

Sora tilted his head in confusion. Hearing this, Himawari nodded her head and she and Hinata went towards the kitchen and left both Sora and Naruto alone. Now that they were alone, Sora looked at his Father confused not understanding what is going on. On the other hand, Naruto gave Sora a solemn look before suddenly, he bowed down Sora apologetically.

Naruto: Sora... For everything that's happened up until now. I'm sorry...

Sora:...

Naruto: I neglected my own family by saying that I needed to protect everybody else so that no one should ever experience what we felt 5 years ago. But in the end, by doing so I ended up hurting you guys instead. I didn't even try to understand you.

Sora: Dad...

Naruto: When I was a kid, I wanted attention too, and kept getting into mischief. I'm the last guy who has the right to lecture you and calling you a troublemaker.

Sora: So you're a troublemaker too?

Hearing this, Sora was surprised. Naruto had never once told Sora about his childhood nor what kind of person he is. This definitely comes as a shock.

Naruto: Yeah... I used to get in trouble with Kakashi-sensei by pulling pranks at U.A.

Sora: No... Kidding...

Hearing this, Sora's head drop down as well.

Sora: In the end... I truly know nothing about you.

Naruto: Sora... you...

Sora: No... that's not it... To be honest... I wanted to know it all. But I was stubborn. And I didn't even try to understand you as well. All I did was complain. But as time passes, every time I trained with Master Sasuke, I came to realize that you are as much as a human being as I am. And I'm sure you've gotten your fair share of hardships. That's why... from now, I want to know. So...

Saying this, Sora too also bowed down his head at Naruto before extending his hand. No matter how resentful he is towards his Dad, a father is still a father. Without Naruto, Sora would never come into this world. All of his resentment that he had inside him transform into gratitude instead.

Sora: Like I said before, during the our showdown. I'm fine with how it is. Yeah, we can continue like before. It's just that... When you have time, instead of lectures, I wanted to hear more about your past.

Sora smile still extending his hand as if he was no longer bound from the past. Now Sora wanted to see the future. He needs to stop regretting and looked forwards. As if sensing Sora's resolve and determination, Naruto also smile. He was actually terrified that Sora wouldn't forgive him after all the mistreatment he had been giving to his own child, but Sora was still trying his hardest to forgive him. Extending his right hand too, the two of them shake hands. Finally understanding a bit about one another.

Naruto: Sure! But are you actually okay with that?

Sora: Eh...?

Naruto: Your old man's stories are very long.

Sora: Ahaha... Just what I wanted!

Hinata: Looks like everything is settled.

The two of them looked at the door and saw Hinata and Himawari hearing their conversation. Like Sora, they both forgive Naruto. Before Sora went home from school, Naruto had already gave his heartfelt apology to his wife and daughter. The two of them smiled, but told Naruto that he should be apologizing to the boy who was affected the most. Now that they both finally settled their differences, it's time to eat the cake they were craving. After washing their hands, they sat on their respective chair looking at the cake with the candles on.

Naruto: Happy Birthday...

Naruto finally got to say the words that he hadn't been able to say during their birthday celebration. Sora and Himawari smiled brightly and the two blew off the candles celebrating their belated birthday. And the night went by as something that Sora would never be able to forget for all his days to come.

(Timeskip)

The next day, the entire Uzumaki family decides to visit the grave of someone they treasure but lost due to a Villain attack. The 4 of them knelt down at one of the tombstone, giving flowers and each of their own respective prayers.

Sora:...

Throughout his life Sora believed that his family would always be at a disarray with one another without he nor his father ever acknowledging one another. It was due to the death of the person that Sora and his family are currently praying. Nevertheless, Sora needs closure from this person who was actually his older brother so that he can continue on his path to becoming a hero without anything holding him back. He told what he had been through and how he made it this far.

Sora: Well... thanks for everything, Elder Brother. I'm going to keep doing my best.

Himawari: Me too!

Hinata: Yeah... Me as well. We've been lonely without you... But slowly we're moving forward.

Naruto: I'll try to improve to. As a Hero and as a Father. So you won't have to worry too much about us.

Sora, Himawari, Hinata, and Naruto all gave each their respective words that they will all improve for the better. Praying that they're able to one step at a time. And pray towards the person that he won't have to worry about them in the afterlife if there ever has. Finally done with their prayers, they all stood up, bowing their heads of respect and began to leave. But before Sora left completely, he looked back at the tombstone one last time before smiling.

Sora: Look at me, Brother!

With that Sora bid his farewell. On that note, the tombstone spells:

Here lies Boruto Uzumaki
A brother, a Hero,
the boy who saves countless people by sacrificing his life

(Timeskip)

The next day, both Sora and Naruto both overslept and the two of them immediately ran out of the House. Sora in his usual U.A's school uniform while Naruto was in his Hero costume.

Sora: It's all because you stayed up late playing games!

Naruto: Unlike you're any different!

Sora: Pull it together, old man!

Naruto: Same goes for you, cheeky brat!

Despite their banter, the two of them had a smile on their faces. Sora raised his fist, and Naruto also did the same and the two fist bump with one another. And finally after 5 years of falling apart, both father and son finally reconciled.

Sora: Do your best, Yellow Gale!

Naruto: Yeah! I'll see you at the agency with your Hero Name!

After they fist bump, they head to handle their respective duties. Sora will returned to his job trying to become the greatest Hero by learning at U.A. while for Naruto, he will return to his busy day life as the Number Three Hero.

Sora(mind): I'll walk down my own path. After all, this is My Story! And this is just the beginning!
