Kiyomi's Good News

"Sasuke-sensei said the Mangekyō Sharingan could make you go blind if you used it too much," Sylvie said.

"I know," Kiyomi said.

"But I don't regret it."

"Why?"

"Because I protected everyone," Kiyomi said.

Sylvie smiled.

"You're so silly."

"Maybe."

They chatted for a while.

Naruto arrived.

"Kiyomi, how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay."

"That's good," Naruto said. "You did great."

"But I still couldn't defeat Jigen..."

"It's okay," Naruto said. "At least we learned the Kara Organization's secret."

"Secret?"

"Yeah," Naruto said. "Jigen isn't the real leader."

"Then who is?"

"I don't know," Naruto said. "But we'll find out."

Kiyomi nodded.

"I want to help, too."

"Get better first," Naruto said.

"I..."

Kiyomi blushed.

"What did you tell him?"

"I said you were fine," Boruto said. "And that you missed him a lot."

"What are you talking about?!"

"Hahaha!" Boruto burst out laughing.

Kiyomi threw a pillow at him.

"Get out!"

"Okay, okay."

Boruto left, still laughing.

Kiyomi lay back down.

Shinra...

She took out her phone.

Sure enough, there was a message from Shinra.

"I heard you were hurt. Are you okay?"

Kiyomi typed a reply.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Shinra replied almost immediately.

"That's good. Get plenty of rest."

"Mm-hm."

Kiyomi gazed at the screen.

A warm feeling filled her heart.

Over the next few days,

Kiyomi rested in the hospital.

Sasuke came every day to teach her how to
