The new team 7
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, the characters featured in this fic all belong to Kishimoto.
Team 7 is known as the strongest team of their generation, which is fitting since they share the same team number as the previous sanin.
They were all children of sannin, albeit of different generations.
Mitsuki is the son of Orochimaru, formerly an S class missing nin, but now he's an ally of the leaf, he's the most mysterious of the group, everything from his parentage to his abilities is mysterious, but he was someone the team could rely on, cause other than being teammates with Boruto and Sarada, he is also Boruto's friend and Sarada's 'best guy friend 'as she says.
After three years of being teammates with the uzumaki and Uchiha heirs, he had excellent teamwork with both of them, together or apart, but, he thought as Konohamaru sensei declared their surrender against Boruto and Sarada's team, he knew that he could never work with them the way they work with each other .
''Great job guys, you're teamwork in strong enough to beat me and Mitsuki together, I'm even thinking of applying you guys to the jonin exams.''
'' Well it's about time we became jonin huh Sarada? But don't even dream of winning the jonin exams tournament cause that's mine database!''
'' We'll see idiot, but don't forget who won our last three spars.''
''You were just lucky that's all.''
''Yeah, if you think luck is a synonym to skill.''
''You'll be dazzled by my new secret weapon that my dad helped with, you won't even realize what happened.''
''Yeah right and besides you're not the only one who was training with their parents lately.''
''Were you training with Auntie Sakura or Uncle?''
Sarada smirked.
''With both.''
Boruto gulped because he could only imagine a jutsu that requires the careful attention from two legendary sannin.
''We'll see, loser treats the winner to burgers deal?'' Boruto said as his hand extended towards Sarada.
''Deal.'' Sarada said as her hand caught Boruto's and they shook hands.
Since the moment Mitsuki joined the team , he knew that there will be moments where his teammates will forget about him, that didn't bother him, since he knew that no matter what he did he would never have a bond with them like the one they shared.
Their bond is something built by years of trust and understanding, and it's noticeable that they knew each other before the academy, since even then their teamwork was flawless, Boruto explained it's because they were partners in crime before they stopped being friends when they were kids.
''But I thought that the jonin exams spars required teams of two.'' Mitsuki intervened.
''That's not always the case, sometimes they test each chunin by themselves,'' Konohamaru said.
''Then if it's like Mitsuki said, if one of us loses, we both lose, Sarada?''
It's an unspoken agreement between the team , that if anything required a team of two, then Sarada and Boruto would be together.
'' Of course, and our first mission as a team of two today is to find Mitsuki a teammate.''
''Yeah, I think Chou-chou would love to be on a team with you.'' The blonde boy said as he wiggled his eyebrows.
''Yeah, yeah Chou-Chou would be thrilled to be on a team with you.'' Sarada said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the team 5 training grounds.
Mitsuki started regretting telling his friends about his crush on the Akimichi heir.
It didn't help that Sarada is best friends with Chou-chou.
And from an analytical point of view, Chou chou's fighting style is the perfect companion to his own , and if he wanted to beat Boruto and Sarada he wanted to have the best teammate possible.
He doubted even Shikadai could beat them together, since they can formulate plans in seconds and make the other understand in even less time, besides the were both raised by Kakashi's motto, which is to never leave a friend behind, they were raised by that motto, while Mitsuki had to learn it from them.
But through the years, he watched their bond change, and that change affected their teamwork, they used to fight like The hokage and Sarada's dad, counting on the other and protecting each other, but now they fight more like his master, Sakura Uchiha, and her husband, counting on each other and trusting each other's abilities, but they can't help but look towards the other every time they hear something weird, protect the other, but also can't help but avenge the other too, his father told him what Sasuke did to the sound nin that hurt Sakura in their chunin exams, and he was reminded of that story when he saw Sarada almost kill an S rank missing nin with a tsukuyomi for fatally injuring Boruto.
The members of team 7 are unbreakable, Mitsuki knew that knew that Sarada and Boruto would never give him up, but he also knew that before team 7 was born, Sarada and Boruto were teammates, after that rivals, and then friends, but it seems their bond is growing into something else.
Something more beautiful, more passionate, something Mitsuki could only call love.
