I do not own Naruto so please don't sue me!

I will try to update as often as I can but there are no guarantees due to work.

Day 11 – Graduate

Sakura, Sasuke and Sarada sat at the dinner table the night before her graduation at the academy. He father had come back earlier as to not miss his daughter's important day. They had finished eating their dinner but stayed seated together.

"Mom, dad," She began, catching their attention. "How was your graduation like?"

"It was certainly interesting." Sasuke answered with a grin as his wife collected the empty plates. "I remember it like it was yesterday."

Sakura let out a laugh as Sasuke placed the utensils into the kitchen sink. "I couldn't believe we graduated the way we did too."

This peaked their daughter's curiosity. "I need to hear this story; all your memories from when you were Genin are the best!"

"Do you want to tell the story, honey?" Sasuke asked looking at Sakura.

"You should tell it dear, I was in a Genjutsu for the majority of the test anyway." She replied as Sasuke took a seat back down at the table.

"All right. When your mother and I were on team seven with the dobe-"

"Who's the dobe?" Sarada asked, confused who he was.

"The present Hokage." Her mother explained with a smile.

"Uncle Naruto?" She gasped, surprised that this was never mentioned. She knew that they were from the same academy but from the same team? "Uncle Kakashi was your teacher right?"

"Yes, the two of them made up our team. It was early morning when we were to wait at our usual training grounds but Kakashi was three hours late. None of us ate before coming there because we were told it would be rigorous and that we would throw up."

Sarada's eyes widened at this. "I'm not looking forward to tomorrow then."

Sakura smiled. "It was a lie so that we would be motivated to pass the test due to starvation."

Sasuke nodded. "And the test was to take two bells from Kakashi in order to get a lunch even though there were three of us. I got ready and attacked head on while Naruto and your mother were elsewhere. It was difficult to get it and I remember feeling the cool metal brush my fingertips. My confidence slipped away when I couldn't take it."

"Wait, then where was mom?" Sarada asked, looking over at her sitting next to dad.

"I got caught in a Genjutsu and even after it was broken I couldn't tell reality from illusion. What I saw terrified me to my core."

"Actually, you never told me what you saw that day." Her husband spoke up, meeting her eyes. "I really wanted to know but I never got the chance to ask you."

"Kakashi was so cruel! He knew that I liked you so he showed me you covered in bleeding with shurikens sticking out from your entire body." Sakura explained as her husband widened his eyes. He never knew that Kakashi would go to that extent on a 12-year old girl.

"When Kakashi buried my body with only my head sticking out you screamed. Was it because of the Genjutsu too?"

"Yes, I thought he decapitated you in my state of panic and shock."

"Wow, this is really not helping me with my test tomorrow. Why was this so extreme?" Sarada asked, feeling a sinking in her stomach.

"I guess it was his style. Every teacher will have their own test so in a way there is no way to be prepared." Sakura told her. "If you are yourself and trust in what you believe is right then you should be fine."

"Sarada, I believe that you will pass with flying colors." Sasuke told her as a grin spread across his lips.

At that their daughter smiled and forgot about her worries. Instead she now looked forward in anticipation of what tomorrow's graduation would bring.

I hope they show what test Konohamaru comes up for Sarada's team in the Boruto movie!
