Night time.
Sarada, now 10 years old and in her usual outfit, was smiling as she was walking home with a medium sized red box in her hands, it was given to her by Sakura as a present for all the great progress she has been doing the last year.
"This is really nice of Sakura-sensei to give me these." Sarada said to herself, looking down at the box smiling. "I can't wait to try them on."
Sarada was now in the Uchiha clan compound and was heading back to her house, knowing her mother was at home right now.
Karin, in her usual outfit, was standing over the couch near the door and was holding 2 grey boxes in her hands, one was a rectangular and long while the other one was a medium sized cube.
Sayuri was in her room sleeping ever since she returned home from her Uncle and Aunt's house with her mother.
"Sarada's going to be so happy at what I got her this time." Karin thought smiling down at the presents.
Karin suddenly sensed that Sarada was now in the Uchiha clan compound, she hide the flat present under the couch and the cube one next to her. She patiently waited for Sarada to come home then she suddenly sensed her near the main shoji doors. One of the main shoji doors slid open to reveal Sarada holding a medium sized red box and she stepped in and slid the door closed with her left hand.
"Hello, Sarada." Karin greeted.
Sarada looked at her mother. "Hello to you, too Mama." she greeted back. She put down the box down beside her and started taking off her sandals. "Sorry I'm late. Sakura-sensei was still training me." then took off her right sandal before picking up the box again with both hands before walking over to her mother.
"It's okay, as long as you were having a great time." Karin said. "So what did Sakura give you?"
Sarada put the box on the couch and opened it up, she took off the lid and pulled out a black sleeveless qipao shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back of it, with both hands.
"It's pretty." Sarada said smiling.
"It looks similar to the qipao she used to wear years ago." Karin said, looking at it closely.
"I've seen them on the pictures she's had in her house." Sarada said.
Karin sighed softly then looked down. "I guess.. she doesn't need the presents I've made for her then..." she thought.
"Why are you sad right now, Mama?" Sarada asked concerned, putting the qipao back in the box.
Karin looked at Sarada. "Well... I made you a new outfit.. but I see you already have.. something to wear.." she said.
"Huh, what do they look like?" Sarada asked curiously.
Karin leaned down and picked up the cubed shaped box and handed it to Sarada. "This is the first one, but I hope you like." she said.
Sarada grabbed it from her mother and placed it on the couch next to the other box then started opening it and carefully lifted the lid off and placed it next to the box. Sarada placed her left hand in the box to get one of the items out and pulled out a right black sandal. Sarada looked at it blankly.
"Do you like them?" Karin asked.
"Like it? I love it!" Sarada said smiling, looking at her. "I can't wait to wear them."
Karin sighed in relief. "Good.. then you're going to love this next one." she said then crouched down and grabbed the rectangular flat box from under the couch and stood up and handed it to Sarada. "Here."
Sarada grabbed it from her mother and placed it on top of the first present from her mother and opened it and she put both of her hands inside the box and pulled out a red shirt with long white sleeves. Sarada looked up at her mother and put the shirt back in the box before walking over to her mother and happily hugged her.
"Thank you, Mama. You've always given my great gifts over the years." Sarada said smiling.
Karin hugged her daughter back. "You're welcome, Sarada." she said smiling.
Sarada pulled away a little to look up at her mother. "By the way Mama, why does Sakura-sensei say 'Shannaro'?" she asked.
"You heard her say that a lot in training, didn't you?" Karin asked, looking at her daughter.
"Hai." Sarada said.
"Well she would shout either when being too angry or excited." Karin said smiling nervously.
"Oh." Sarada said.
"Your Uncle Naruto say 'Dattebayo' and his mother Kushina was 'Dattebane'." Karin said. "I mean you've heard say 'Dattebasa'.
"Okay, now I get it." Sarada said.
1 year later.
Daytime.
Academy.
Sarada, now 11 years old and in her new usual outfit, a black sleeveless qipao shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back of it, light grey shorts, black thigh-length stockings, black shinobi sandals, and long black arm warmers, and black sandals, was sitting at her desk looking serious with her elbows on the desk and fingers tangled together (similar to what Sasuke did), her cream colored backpack was on the desk.
Shino, now 31 years old and in his usual outfit, was holding up a blue clothed Konohagakure forehead protector with his left hand. "I'm sure you all know what this is." he said. "That's right... there's a reason why I'm showing you this right now.. and that's because... your graduation exam's are next week."
"Man, it's such a pain but..." Shikadai said, laying on the desk.
Shikadai was in his usual outfit and was now wearing grey stud earrings.
"If taking that test means I get to shed a few pounds, then I'm all for it." Chocho said.
Chocho was in her new usual outfit, a sleeveless white kimono with a net T-shirt under it, a pair of black arm warmers, and a pair of black long shinobi boots and was now wearing grey stud earrings.
"As potential examinees, those are awfully unconcerned attitudes to have..." Inojin said, looking at Shikadai and Chocho. "Do you guys think that the proper mentality to have going into the test?!"
Inojin was in his usual outfit and was now wearing grey stud earrings.
"It's finally come, hasn't it... Boruto..." Mitsuki said smiling. He was in his usual outfit.
"Yeah, I won't break a sweat!" Boruto said smirking.
Boruto, in his new usual outfit, a black tracksuit the jacket was unzipped and it was red on the inside, a grey bolt tied to a string around his neck, and black calf length sandals.
"As far as what the test consists of, I'll be revealing that on the day of it." Shino said.
"Hell yeah! Time to become a ninja!" a boy yelled at the top row.
"We're finally becoming the real deal!" a girl yelled at the middle row.
Sarada then glared. "I don't get it... so what if you pass the exam? What are all of them trying to become? Ninjas...?!" she thought. "And then after becoming a ninja, then what?! And just what the hell does it mean to be a ninja...?! All I hear echoing around me is ninja this, ninja that... this sucks..."
Over less than 2 years, Sarada didn't have any interest in becoming a ninja because of her father's had left on his mission years ago. She grew distant and had a similar personality to her father when he was her age but has some of her mother's personality in her. The only person she doesn't treat that way was Sayuri, her mother Karin, Himawari, Hinata, and sometimes her sensei Sakura.
"Class is dismissed." Shino said, lowering the forehead protector in his left hand.
Students started rising from their seats and leaving out of the classroom. Sarada stood up and put her backpack on her back and started to walk towards the exit.
"Sarada." a female voice called out.
Sarada stopped and turned around to see Chocho walking towards her with a black backpack on her back. "Chocho." she said.
"How about we walk together?" Chocho said. "It's been a long time since we've hung out."
"Okay." Sarada said then turned toward and exited the room with Chocho following her.
...
Sarada and Chocho were now walking outside through the crowd of people.
"Ah, man." Chocho said sighing.
Sarada looked at her. "What's wrong, Chocho?" she asked.
"It's my training for the exam with my Dad..." Chocho said. "... I'm supposed to be there right now!"
"Oh..." Sarada said.
"You know, I really don't care about the damn training.. so let's ditch it and have some Anmitsu." Chocho said.
"I think... you should probably go to your training." Sarada said.
Chocho looked surprised then annoyed. "What the hell, you looking down on me now! Man, I'm so angry right now!" she said. "Sure you're Sarada from the Uchihas... That's probably why it's a joke for you but...!"
"Everyone keeps saying that but... other than the information my Mama gave me I barely know anything about that." Sarada said giving her a look. "Besides, that wasn't what I was talking about..." moving her arms around.
"Then what?" Chocho asked.
Sarada looked down. "I just meant... you should spend time with your fath-" she said but was cut off.
"Hey, Chocho!" a man voice yelled out. "Over here!"
Sarada and Chocho stopped walking to see Choji, in his usual, was holding a bag of chips with his left hand and waving to them with his right hand.
"Huh!" Chocho said then became annoyed again. "Uh, so embarrassing!"
"Hey, it's perfectly fine for an adult to walk down the street with a bag of potato chips in his hand you know..." Sarada said smiling nervously, a few sweat drops on her face.
"That's not it! They're the lightly salted ones!" Chocho said. "Why would he do that knowing I prefer the consomme flavor! Damn.. I'll never understand him...!" closing her eyes.
"Yeah... right... the flavor..." Sarada said looking at her, smiling nervously.
"Hey there, Sarada-chan!" Shoji greeted walking over to them.
"Hello... well, I'll be going to train with Sakura-sensei then..." Sarada said, waved with her left hand before walking off.
"Yeah, see ya!" Chocho said, waving with her right hand.
Sarada continued to walk until she stopped on some stairs and turned to the right and she suddenly saw Naruto and Boruto were sparing with each other. Naruto hit the hit and suddenly Boruto disappeared with a puff of smoke.
"Shadow clone." Sarada thought.
Naruto landed on a metal object.
"Over here, dattebasa!" Boruto yelled near a building with a shadow clone near him.
Naruto made a serious look. " Hmph... you think you just pulled a quick one? On me? Your old man? You ain't seen nothin'..." Naruto said, making a hand seal for the multi shadow clone jutsu until he heard a voice, he turned to see Sai, in his usual outfit, and was with his son Inojin, who was on the ground with a scroll.
"Seventh... that wouldn't be exactly very mature of you..." Sai said.
Sarada looked to see Boruto was walking away.
Inojin made a hand seal with his right hand and was holding a small paintbrush with his left hand, and a drawing of a small weird ink lion popped out.
"You guys should... just stick to your own training over there... and I'll..." Naruto said nervously, scratching the left side of his face with his left hand.
"Perhaps I'm the one being immature...?" Sai looking down at his son's ink drawing.
"Why are you trying to act all cool for Dad...?" Inojin asked.
Naruto turned around and became surprised to see that Boruto was not there anymore. Sarada peek at her Uncle Naruto from the stairs before she turned forward as she suddenly sensed Boruto appear a few feet away from her and was walking forward with his left hand in his pocket.
"Fools never do learn their lessons do they..." Sarada said, walking off the stairs.
Boruto turned around and held up his right index finger to his mouth. "Shhh..." he said before he hid in a nearby wooden sign.
Sarada watched Boruto hide then she suddenly sensed her Uncle Naruto coming towards her quickly from behind.
"Sarada!" Naruto yelled stopping a few feet from her.
Sarada turned half around and looked at Naruto, putting her left hand close to her chest. "The Seventh...!" she said.
"Have you seen Boruto around?" Naruto asked.
Sarada just stared Naruto for a moment, she would tell him but then she realized that Boruto was doing this for the attention for his father, which was something similar to her's about her father.
Sarada raised her left hand and pointed forward. "That way." she lied.
"Thanks." Naruto said before he turned around and disappeared.
Sarada continued started at Naruto as he left quickly.
Boruto poked his head, smirking. "I'm the one that should be saying 'Thank, Sarada '..." he said. "It's been awhile since we last played hide-and-seek so I can't let him find me so easily!"
Sarada turned her head and looked at Boruto.
"I've gotta beat my time record, dattebasa!" Boruto said, stepping fully out of the wooden sign.
"Boruto... you know you..." Sarada said.
"If the Seventh activated Sage Mode, he would find you in an instant." a man's voice said.
Sarada turned around while Boruto turned his head around to see Shikamaru, in his usual outfit, and Shikadai were standing a few feet away from them.
"I know that! But even without using Sage Mode, Dad has always found me way faster up until now!" Boruto said, turning around.
"I don't quite get what you're up to.. but the Hokage sure has his hands full dealing with an opponent like you..." Shikadai said smirking. "I'm sure he has lots of more important matters to do..."
"That's just a Kage Bunshin... The real one's stuck in his office working." Boruto said. "Alright, I'm off to set a new record..."
Boruto suddenly gasped as he suddenly can't move, Sarada looked in curiosity. They looked to see a shadow coming from Shikamaru.
"Ahhhh! Old man Shikamaru's Jutsu!" Boruto yelled.
"It's Kage Shibori no Jutsu!" Shikadai said, moving his arms around a little.
"...I can't... move..." Boruto said, shaking a little.
"Try not to make so much trouble for the Seventh... Boruto." Shikamaru said. "The Hokage has many responsibilities to attend to... as his advisors, includes me and your Aunt Karin."
"Dammit!" Boruto said as he continued to shake.
Shikadai put his left hand on his stomach as he started to laugh.
"Ah well, even if I lecture you... You're just gonna keep acting out... exactly like Naruto did when he was your age..." Shikamaru said smiling then he turned to his son. "Shikadai..."
Shikadai stopped laughing and put his left hand down and looked up at his father.
"Go call the Seventh's Kage Bunshin over here." Shikamaru said.
"Eh? Why me...?" Shikadai asked then closed his eyes and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand. "This is such a pain..."
"... Huh, I guess it's happening in my family..." Shikamaru said annoyed.
Sarada watched the scene before with a serious look then looked down before she walked to go train with Sakura. She saw all of her classmates with their fathers and it just made her jealous.
"Papa... and I... I haven't seen him in years... He left before Sayuri was even born..." Sarada thought. "My Papa huh... I wonder where he is right now.. or will he come home soon?"
Sarada was almost to Lee and Sakura's house. She tried to ask her mother about her father when he was in the Academy but couldn't answer it.
Flashback.
"I don't know. but you should ask your Uncle Naruto or Sakura about it since they attended the Academy with him when he was young..." Karin said.
Flashback ends.
Sarada sighed, she wanted to know more about her father and tell Sayuri more about him since she never met him before. She stopped near her Sensei's house and looked at it for a moment before she looked down at the ground and thought about it.
"Hmm, I can't ask Uncle Naruto because he's always busy.. maybe Sakura-sensei knows.. after all they're friends..." Sarada thought raising her head and walked over to the big grey house with green and pink outlines.
Sarada walked to the backyard as she sensed Sakura was back there. When she made it she saw Sakura, in her casual outfit and white apron, was folding and putting her laundry on the wooden clothesline with Luna, now 7 years old, her hair now below a shoulder length, and was in her new usual outfit, a green sleeveless dress that reached her knees with the Lee clan crest on the back of it, green hair band, and pink sandals, was sitting on the near her mother, smiling. A wooden brown basket was next to Sakura.
Sakura turned and saw Sarada was walking towards them. "Oh hi Sarada." she greeted smiling. "I'll be right with you in a minute I have to hang the laundry then I can train you."
Sarada stopped next to Sakura.
Sakura suddenly turned around. "Luna-sweetie." she said.
"Yes, Mom?" Luna asked, looking up at her mother.
"Can you go get another basket from the house please?" Sakura asked her daughter.
"Hai." Luna said, getting up.
Luna walked over to the side shoji doors and opened it up with her left hand before she stepped in. Sakura turned back around and continued to fold and hang laundry on the clothesline.
Sarada watched Sakura for a moment before she suddenly said. "What was my Papa's favorite things to do while he was in the Academy?" she asked.
Sakura turned to Sarada as she folding. "Huh? What was that?" she asked.
"I asked what was my Papa's favorite things to do in the Academy?" Sarada asked again.
"Well, maybe training but I'm not sure." Sakura said, looking up at the sky. "At least... I don't think so..."
Sarada looked at Sakura mad and at the ground. "You don't think so...?" she said. "You 2 are friends and known each other for years than my Mama, and you don't think so...?"
Sakura sadly at Sarada. "Well that's because your Mom and Dad travel together a lot before you and your sister were born and he told her more things." she said. "Just like now, I suppose..."
Sarada stared at Sakura. "Sakura-sensei... I've been meaning to ask you... Are you really my Papa's friend?" she asked.
Sakura suddenly became made and dropped the laundry. "Now, what is all this about?!" she yelled, raising her right fist near her face. "You're acting really strange today!"
Sarada squinted her eyes a little. "The thing that's really strange is your friendship with my Papa." she said. "And strange is an understatement, to be honest."
Sakura became more angry and did Cherry Blossom Impact on the ground near her with her right fist. "Sarada! Shaaanarooooo!" she yelled.
Sarada backed away as she covered her face with her left hand.
The clothesline broke and clothes were flying everywhere and the cracked below them.
Sakura raised her head and looked at Sarada angrily before she gasped at Sarada's now sad and tear forming face, she now made a sad face. Sakura stood up and dusted her right hand with her left hand.
"... Ah... I'm sorry for raising my voice at you..." Sakura said smiling softly. "Uh... your Dad's away on some really important mission right now for the Village. I know he'll be back before you know it to see you, your Mom, and little sister."
Sarada's ran from her eyes and down her face, dripping to the ground, saying nothing.
"You, your Mom's, and sister's feelings and emotions are definitely reaching out to and are connected to your Dad, so don't worry!" Sakura said.
"... How can you be so certain about that?" Sarada asked.
Suddenly Luna came outside and looked panicked and shocked. "What happened out here?!" she yelled, looking at the cracked ground.
Sakura now looked at her daughter, Luna. The huge cracks in the ground spread to the house, Sakura now looked at the house cautiously. The house started to move.
Sarada turned and yelled. "Luna, run away!" she said.
Luna quickly ran and was now beside her mother and Sarada. The house split in 2 and collapsed violently.
"Huh...?" Sarada said, looking at the now destroyed house.
"Oh no!" Luna said.
"No... no way..." Sakura said shocked. "I still... haven't paid off... the loan..."
Sarada and Luna watched as Sakura fainted as she felled to the ground. Luna ran to her mother and crouched down beside her
"Mom!" Luna said. "Please wake up, Mom!"
Sarada suddenly sensed 2 very familiar chakras coming to the house quickly, she turned around to see Lee and Metal, in their usual outfits, were running over to them. When they made it, they stopped near Sarada.
"What happened?!" Metal asked.
"Well Sakura-sensei got angry." Sarada said, looking at them. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Lee asked.
"I got her angry." Sarada said, sadly.
"It's okay, we can stay somewhere else for awhile." Lee said, walking over to Sakura. "Besides she's done this many times over the years."
"What?" Sarada asked surprised.
"Yes, she has been." Lee said then crouched down and picked up his unconscious wife. "But I'll explain more on the way to Shizune-san's house."
Later.
Sunset.
Shizune's house.
Sakura was laying on a bed under the grey blankets with her apron gone and a white cloth on her forehead, looking sad and sweating in her sleep. Lee, Metal, Luna, and Sarada were watching her as she slept.
"Sorry, Sakura-sensei." Sarada thought sadly.
Sarada looked out of the window to see that the sun was setting and gasped as she suddenly remembered someone.
"Oh no, Sayuri." Sarada thought.
"Sorry, but I have to leave." Sarada said.
"Bye." Luna said, waving to her.
"Later." Metal said.
"Goodbye." Lee said.
Sarada, who then left out of one of the guest rooms in Shizune's house. She walked to the front door and stepped outside until she heard a woman's voice. She turned around to see Shizune, in her usual outfit, was walking towards her.
"Well goodbye, Sarada." Shizune said, stopping at the door.
"You too and please take care of Sakura-sensei..." Sarada said.
"Ever since she was kid... She's always had penchant for passing out..." Shizune said. "By the way, where are you planning on going now , if not to your house? If your worried about their house, I've already got Lee in touch with some contractors..."
"Don't worry.. I'm going to pick up Sayuri from my Uncle and Aunt's house and come back later to check on Sakura-sensei.." Sarada said. "I'll see you later." then walked away.
Shizune waved before she closed the door behind her. Sarada thought to herself as she walked through the barely crowd of people.
"I can't believe I caused Sakura-sensei to destroy her home." Sarada thought. "And apparently... this happened before."
After a few minutes, Sarada finally made it to her Uncle Naruto and Aunt Hinata's house so she can go home with walked up the steps to the front door and knocked on the door with her right hand. She sensed 2 chakras coming to the door. It opened up to reveal Hinata, now 31 years old, her hair was cut to a shoulder length, wearing her new usual outfit, a light purple short-sleeved jacket with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath, light brown shorts, and pink house slippers.
"Hello Sarada." Hinata greeted smiling.
"Hello to you too Aunt Hinata." Sarada greeted back, having a little smile. "Is Sayuri ready?"
"Yes, she said she needs to say 'goodbye' to Himawari first." Hinata said.
Suddenly the 2 of them turned to the hallway as they heard footsteps quickly coming towards them. A few seconds later, it revealed a now 4 year old Sayuri, her hair was now long to a mid-back length but it was put in a mid ponytail just like her mother Karin had when she was in her teens and had bangs that covered her forehead like her father Sasuke when he was in his mid teens, and was in her new usual outfit, a long-sleeved, high-collared light grey shirt with the Uchiha clan crest on the back of it, and dark blue shorts, was running towards Sarada.
"Onee-chan!" Sayuri yelled smiling.
Sayuri jumped on to Sarada hugging her tightly, making Sarada step back a little.
Sayuri looked up at her big sister, smiling. "I missed you, Onee-chan!" she said.
"I've missed you too, Sayuri." Sarada said frowning down at her. "Sorry that I'm late to picking you up."
"It's okay Onee-chan, we can still play together at home." Sayuri said before she buried her head into Sarada's stomach, hugging her more.
Sarada smiled softly down Sayuri and she hugged her back. They hugged each other for a moment before they pulled apart.
"Thank you for watching her, Aunt Hinata." Sarada said.
"You're welcome." Hinata said smiling.
Sayuri pulled away from Sarada and put on her dark blue sandals that almost reached her calf.
"See you later." Sarada said.
"Goodbye." Hinata said.
Hinata waved goodbye before she closed the door as Sarada walked down the path with Sayuri's left hand was holding her right hand. Sarada and Sayuri walked through the crowd of people to head back to the Uchiha clan compound.
"Onee-chan." Sayuri said, looking up at her big sister.
"Yes." Sarada said looking down at her little sister.
"How did your training go?" Sayuri asked.
Sarada turned away from Sayuri. "Well.. it was.. complicated.." she said nervously.
"Huh, how so?" Sayuri asked confused.
"I accidentally made Sakura-sensei destroy her house." Sarada said, slowly turning back to Sayuri.
"Is that why I heard a loud sound outside?" Sayuri asked curiously.
"H-hai." Sarada said, nodding.
"Will they be okay?" Sayuri asked.
"Of course, they're staying with Shizune-san." Sarada said.
"Okay." Sayuri said.
Sarada and Sayuri continued to walk for awhile and they finally made it to the Uchiha compound. They walked inside and within a few minutes they were at their house, Sarada slid one of the shoji doors open with her right hand. They took their sandals off at the door and stepped inside before closing it behind them. Sayuri ran over to the couch near one of the bookshelves and quickly climbed on it and sat on the left edge.
"Onee-chan." Sayuri said.
"What is it, Sayuri?" Sarada asked.
"Can you tell me more about jutsus?" Sayuri asked smiling.
"Of course, Sayuri." Sarada said smiling, walking over to Sayuri.
Over the years, Sayuri had mastered all of the skills for young children, she was a prodigy just like the Uchihas and was being told many jutsus and techniques right now.
Sarada sat down next to Sayuri on the couch on the right side of Sayuri. "Okay, but don't try these." she said.
"Hai." Sayuri said.
"Let's see oh, jutsus are the mystical arts we ninjas will utilise in battle. To use a technique, ninjas will need to use their chakra. To perform a technique, ninjas will bring out and release the two energies of chakra. By forming hand seals, ninjas are able to manifest the desired technique. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different combinations, there are thousands of potential techniques to be discovered." Sarada said.
"Oh." Sayuri said, amazed.
"The 3 basics mains ones are ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu. Ninjutsu is the most unclear of the three and may most simply be described as anything that is not genjutsu or taijutsu. Genjutsu unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only illusions experienced by those who fall victim to it. Uchihas are very skilled in genjutsu. And finally Taijutsu is a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. It is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training." Sarada said.
"Wish, you know so many things Onee-chan." Sayuri said, looking at her astonished.
"Thank you, Sayuri." Sarada said as she hugged her. Sayuri nuzzled into her big sister.
After a few seconds, Sayuri pulled away from Sarada and looked up at her.
"Onee-chan." Sayuri said.
"Yes." Sarada said.
"Would you like to see the new toys Mommy bought for me?" Sayuri asked.
"I would love to see them Sayuri." Sarada said smiling.
Sayuri quickly stood up from the couch. "Okay, let's go!" she said before running from the living room and up the stairs.
Sarada stood up from the couch and started to follow Sayuri, she was about to exit the living room until she spotted her parents 'Team 'Taka' photo sitting on one of the medium shelves on one of the bookshelves.
"Onee-chan!" Sayuri yelled from upstairs.
Sarada looked up. "I'll be there in a minute, Sayuri!" she yelled back.
Sarada then turned and walked over to the bookshelf and picked it up, she smiled as she held it with both hands.
"There it is! It has been so long since I've seen this." Sarada said.
Sarada then remembered a few things in the past about her father and made a serious face. She looked closely at Suigetsu then at Jugo.
"M-maybe they know something about Papa and where he is... and possibly Mama as well..." Sarada thought, staring at her father and mother.
End of Chapter 21.
