Neji babysits Boruto and Himawari!
In an alternate universe Neji survived the war. And now he’s been asked to babysit Naruto and Hinata’s kids for one reason or another. What would happen??
1. Neji would immediately regret it. Just like the last time. And the time before that.
Naruto: “Thanks again Neji! You guys be good!”
Neji: “So! What do you guys want to do today?”
Boruto: “MUM AND DAD ARE GONE THE HOUSE IS NOW MINE.”
2. He would constantly praise Himawari’s byakugan skills, though.
Every time he babysits them her skills seem to get better. She loves the attention. Boruto gets jealous.
Neji: “You’re getting so good at it, Himawari!”
Boruto: “HEY UNCLE NEJI WATCH ME RUN THROUGH THIS WALL.”
3. There is yelling. Lots and lots of yelling.
Usually about mess in the playroom. And mess in the bedroom....and in the kitchen.
Neji: “BORUTO STOP THROWING YOUR TOYS EVERYWHERE.”
Neji: “HIMAWARI STOP COPYING HIM.”
Boruto: “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD! YOU CAN’T TELL US WHAT TO DO!”
Neji: “BORUTO SO HELP ME.”
4. Dinner is always a struggle.
Neji: “I’m going to cook us some katsudon for dinner!”
Himawari: “I love katsudon!”
Boruto: “I don’t want it. I want to have cake for dinner instead!”
Himawari: “I love cake more! Cake for dinner!”
5. Boruto always ends up missing for an hour or two.
Neji tries to use his byakugan....but....
Himawari: “Byakugan is cheating Uncle Neji!!”
Himawari: “Boruto is playing hide and seek! You can’t cheat!”
He usually ends up in the laundry cupboard.
6. Finger painting is both Neji’s most favourite and least favourite activity.
Neji: “You guys are doing so well! We’ll hang these on the wall after they dry.”
Boruto: “Why hang them on the wall....when they can BE the wall??”
Neji: “Haha that’s....wait, what?”
Boruto: “HIMAWARI LET’S PAINT THE WALL.”
Neji: “B O R U T O .... N O.”
7. Himawari always demands a bedtime story.
The story about the princess and the frog is her favourite.
Neji: “Okay, what book did you want me to read?”
Neji: “But....I read this one to you last time! And the time before that!”
Himawari: “I want THIS one!!”
8. Neji finally gets some peace after he’s put them to bed....for 10 minutes.
He collapses on the couch. Closes his eyes. Bliss. It doesn’t last long.
Neji: “Finally....I can rest for a bit...”
Boruto: “LET’S GET PIZZA.”
Neji: “Why must I suffer.”
Neji: “YOU ARE NOT HAVING PIZZA AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT.”
Neji: “I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE HUNGRY. YOU’VE BRUSHED YOUR TEETH.”
Neji: “NO DON’T EAT THE TOOTHPASTE.”
10. In the end they always end up falling asleep on the couch together.
Naruto and Hinata arrive home blissfully unaware of anything that has happened.
Hinata: “Aww look at that! I don’t want to wake them!”
Naruto: “They get along so well. Let’s ask Neji to babysit more often!”
