Boruto and Hikari whispered to each other for a while before finally changing into fresh clothes.
The clothes were standard Uchiha Clan attire. Since they had no idea how long they would be away this time, Senyo had brought several sets.
After all, Tenten had made the storage scrolls, so they had not cost anything.
Once they had changed, both of them felt much more comfortable.
When they came out, they found Senyo and Karin sitting on a blanket spread across the ground, eating snacks.
"Take a break."
Senyo handed Boruto a bag of cookies, while Karin shoved a bag of potato chips into Hikari's hands.
Looking at the cookies in his hand, Boruto's eyes filled with nostalgia. He had not eaten anything like this in three years.
Hikari had it even worse. Back when she had been imprisoned, she had often gone hungry.
Just moments ago, they had been fleeing for their lives. Who would have thought they could suddenly relax and camp out now?
There were no potato chips in this era either. As she ate the puffed snack, Hikari's eyes lit up.
"You've grown up a little, kid. You look more likable now than before. You're not that annoying brat you used to be."
Senyo smiled at Boruto's roughened face.
Boruto gave a bitter smile. "Lord Senyo, please don't make fun of me."
"People have to grow up. Besides, it's been three years since we last met."
Only then did Senyo learn that Boruto had been here for three years.
His gaze shifted from Boruto to Hikari as he asked bluntly, "Have you two made it official?"
Hikari's hand paused as she reached for another chip, and she shyly glanced at Boruto.
Boruto scratched his head, embarrassed by Senyo's direct question.
Still, he did not evade it.
