Single quotations are thoughts. I'm too lazy to italicize them. In the manga, Sarada stares at Boruto and wonders "when he got so cool". They didn't do this on the anime or movie, which is a shame.
'When did he get so cool?' Sarada gazed wide-eyed at Boruto. Her heart pumped a little harder than normal as tingling heat rose up to her cheeks.
Boruto looked at her questioningly. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
She looked away. "No… just that… ah, haha…" She turned back and connected her dark eyes to his radiant blues. "Hey, did you notice your eyes are bluer than the Lord Seventh? Well… heh. I better get home. I've got things to do." Sarada high tailed it out of there as fast as possible.
Sarada went home wondering what just happened. Whatever her heart just did, she never felt it before. And why was she seeing Boruto this way?
"Welcome home, Sarada. What are you up to today?" Sakura asked and noticed her daughter's cheeks were flush.
Sakura's eyes lit up. She gasped and held her hands together next to her cheek. "Does my little Sarada have a crush on someone? Ooh, who is it, Sarada?" Sakura couldn't help but be excited and also tease her.
"What! No, Mama!" A crush on Boruto? God no. She never wanted to associate with him in the first place. She definitely didn't want to be on the same team as him either.
Sakura could tell Sarada was in denial. She remembered when she first met Sasuke and formed a crush on him. Her cheeks felt warm as blood rushed to her face. Every girl at the academy's face was flush, just like Sarada's. From then on she was determined to win him over no matter what it took. 'My little Sarada's growing up,' Sakura teared up a bit. She lovingly thought of Sasuke and smiled. "Whoever it is, Sarada, be sure he's a good man."
Sarada looked cynically at her mother and scrunched her face. 'I do NOT have a crush on Boruto…'
Is Sasuke a good man... that's questionable.
