Scarlet-sama•Boruto and Fairy Tail crossover

"Boys, what was all the ruckus last night?!"

Sarada and Hinata were glaring at Shikadai, Inojin, Mitsuki, Metal and Gray. It seems they're gonna have to tell them. They didn't want to cause any alarm from the battle last night with the blood manipulator and trouble the others as it was already done and over with but although Shikadai was one of the shinobis put in charge by Konohamaru since the beginning of this mission, he must still report to Hinata at least as she's sorta supervising them in a way and an adult who must know what's going on.

Naturally, the other shinobis heard the explanation of what occurred outside their tents. It was needless to say, they weren't going to let the Oakridge Town folks aware of this, else they'll panic or stress. Somehow though, none of the Fairy Tail members were aware, and even if they were, they were unfazed. Especially Erza, Natsu, Juvia and Wendy. Lucy was undoubtedly secured by Natsu, and the cats were....well, cats.

Sarada answered this to her friends, "Scarlet-sama trusts Jellal-san and Gray to be alright, same with Juvia-chan, who has grown to not worry too much about Gray and be his safe space for when he came back. Natsu and Wendy must've heard the commotion due to their dragon ears and possibly smelled the blood too, yet they must've also heard how they were winning so they didn't worry after that. Plus Natsu is a deep sleeper and really clingy when it comes to Lucy-chan."

Erza, "She figured us out so well~ I'm so proud!"

Lucy, "Huh...I really didn't hear anything. But that couldn't have been Natsu preventing me from hearing anything in my sleep..."

Jellal, "Probably your celestial friends."

Happy raised a paw, "Yeah, she hasn't been taking them off of her person lately."

Lucy, "Well duh, I don't wanna lose them!"

Iwabe suddenly came out of nowhere. "OI, HURRY UP WITH BREAKFAST, WE'RE GONNA RUMBLE IN A WHILE!"

Happy, "Rumble rumble rumble!"

As everyone resumed the journey, Jellal took this chance to speak with Erza.

"Hiro-san is indeed, Sarada's deceased father, Uchiha Sasuke." He reveals to her.

Titania widens her eyes, and keeps the conversation in a hushed tone with her boyfriend. "So then, Hiro's girlfriend, Hime...is she??"

Jellal nods, "More than likely, she's Uchiha Sakura. And from what we know of their family in these disguises, Miyake-san and Joe-san are Sasuke-san's actual parents who are also in disguise. That includes Yuri-san being his elder brother too, Izumi-san must actually be Sasuke-san's sister-in-law if I'm connecting the dots right."

Erza's brows furrows, and voices her thoughts. "Then...don't you think it's possible that all those with dark purple hair just like them are family members who are also related to Sasuke in some way? There's Yuri's bestfriend, Hanako, there's that child Kenma, and that old man named Maou. They all have dark purple hair like Sasuke's family."

"They must all be Uchihas, Sarada's family", Jellal concludes. "I haven't known Boruto-kun for long, but from what I've seen and learned so far, I believe Naoto-san looks a bit like Boruto. His wife Shira-san and their son, Menma-kun, I think he's Boruto-kun's dad. Naoto-san and Shira-san must be Boruto-kun's grandparents in that sense."

Erza recalls the family of three and slowly sees what Jellal means. It was starting to make so much sense! Something tickled in her mind at that moment. "You know...when you say that now, I just remembered another thing. I've spent some time with Hinata whenever I get dragged with Wendy and Carla while they bond with Hima-chan. And I've come to grow close with her. Besides random comments that I remind her of Sakura, I've caught her staring at Shu-kun in a calculating manner."
