"Did you really have to act so irritated?" Chocho asked quietly, " He just wanted to know why your training so much."
Sarada frowns.
"Hmm," Sarada sighed, "I guess I overreacted just a bit, but he does slack off with his training."
"Can't you just admit you went overboard, Sarada?" Chocho teased.
"Ok!, you win," Sarada said blushing.
"Listen Sarada, I really do think you should tell him about how you really feel, Chocho sighed, "Cause sooner or later you'll push him away," turning to look at her friend, "You don't want that to happen, do you?" Chocho asked.
"Of course not, But I don't think he feels the same way I do Chocho," Sarada said in almost a whisper. "Plus he was really happy to see ..."
Sarada paused and her expression darkened.
"Oi Sarada!, what's with that look?" Chocho asked, turning to see what had suddenly stopped her friend from finishing what she was about to say. Her eyes widened in surprise... "O...oh, Sumire" Chocho said.
Sumire saw her former classmates heading in her direction and decided to stop and catch up a bit, with both girls.
"what are you doing here?" Sarada asked.
"Hey Sarada and Chocho, it's good to see you again," Sumire replied.
"Wow! Sumire you look so different, have you gotten taller?" Chocho asked.
"Really? I don't think so," Sumire said.
"So what are you doing back in Konoha?" Sarada asked, cutting into the conversation narrowing her eyes.
"Oh, Mr. Katasuke developed a new Ninja tool that was requested by the Seventh Hokage, so he's here to deliver it, I just kinda tagged along," Sumire said. "And I really missed everyone."
"You seem to really like this Ninja tool stuff," Chocho said.
"Yeah, I really enjoy working with Mr. Katasuke" Sumire replied, "Ummm..., have you... have seen Boruto lately?."
Shit! just when I was trying to get Sarada to not lose her shit..."Huh?...Umm Sumire..." Chocho began to say.
Chocho was suddenly cut off by Sarada.
"Why are you looking for him?" Sarada asked, "Did you suddenly come to Konoha to confess?"
Sumire face suddenly flamed bright red.
"Yes," Sumire answered.
"Uhm...erm...guys" Chocho stammered.
"Let me just say this to your face Sumire," Sarada said, stepping into her personal space. "you're not the only one who likes him and you're not the only one who will be confessing how you feel about him."
Sumire smirked.
"I knew you were lying about not having any interest in him " Sumire scoffed, "But that makes things even more interesting."
Sarada bristled, and was about to give Sumire a piece of her mind but was stopped by Boruto's voice.
"Hey! I thought you guys were heading home?" Boruto asked, "H..uh, class prez! what are you doing here?"
