"So you're lord 7th's student? Amazing!!" Cho-cho cheered.

"shhh not so loud!" Sarada exclaimed.

Cho cho took a deep breath and looked straight up at Sarada.

"uhh...what?" Sarada shaked abit.

Cho-cho laughs.

"What's so funny?!" Sarada was now confused at this moment.

"Sorry Sorry.. ha...by the way there's something I need to ask you."

"okay..."

"Do you have any feelings for lord 7th? or ever fallen in love with him?"

Sarada was mind blown and freaked out. No No No. Sarada has none of those. Plus its wrong to fall in love with someone years older than her.

"Well I knew you would freak out somehow..."

"You crossed the line, Cho-cho."

"Sorry...hehe.."

"Okay.."

"But seriously, do you?"

Sarada stood quiet. The only expression she has is blank.

"No. I have no feelings for Lord 7th plus its wrong. I can't have relations with men. Are you crazy? I only view lord 7th as lord 7th and my mentor. Why in the world would I have feelings for a grown man. He has a wife and two children. Are you out of your mind? Get that through your head, Cho-cho." Sarada sighed.

Cho-Cho then apologized and stood quiet. Suddenly it was time to head home.

"I'm going home. I'll see you tomorrow after training."

"Alright."

Both girls parted ways, heading home.

-Later on-

"I'm home..." Sarada closed the door behind her.

Sakura came out of the kitchen, slightly hugging her daughter.

"M-Mama??"

As Sakura stops, She put a slight smile on her face.

"You're just in time for dinner, sweetheart."

Sarada smiled.

"Thanks mama."

"oh and apparently, Your father won't be-"

"Won't be able to join us, I get it. He has missions to complete and other stuff."

Sakura frowned. Seeing Sarada frustrated and all sad was hard to look. Yes Sasuke has always been out seeking through secret missions, train Boruto. He never has time a single day of the week to spend time with his family...especially not being able to talk to his only daughter. Sarada is abit fed up with everything.

"Mama tell me...Why can't dad just...spend time with us, he never has time for anything..."

"Sweetheart that-"

"Its true mama...He never has the gut not even to talk to me."

"No not true he does ha-"

Sarada couldn't contain more of her anger.

"ITS ALWAYS 'ITS NOT TRUE' OR 'HE DOES CARE'. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STOP LYING ALREADY. I'M TIRED OF THESE LIES. HE DOESN'T CARE AND THAT'S FINAL!"

The girl stormed off to her room and slams the door once arriving. Sakura couldn't take any of this and deeply took herself in fustration, sighing.

'Sasuke... Our daughter is losing hope in us...losing hope more in you...'

Sakura remained strong and slowly sat down on the chair just staring at the floor.

A with Sarada at the moment. It was hard to understand things that are uncommonly, all of the lies and dark thoughts she has through her head just hurts.

Her father doesn't even spemd time with his family his own father. Now what kind of parenting is that? Without any answers, Sarada lays on her bed and shuts out everything, falling asleep.

Maybe... She's not good enough to be an Uchiha that her father wished to have. That made Sarada sob a bit of that thought. Maybe taking a deep rest will clear her thoughts out.

-Next Morning-

Boruto makes his way to the training grounds. Usually he would meet Sasuke there but certainly or not, he wants to feel confident enough to feel the strength of power he needs to become stronger.

Unexpectedly, he sees Naruto at the training grounds with Sarada. It was hard to understand or describe their partnership. It couldn't be helped but decided to take a peak of what they're doing.

'So my father has the brains to train Sarada in his free time but doesn't have the gut to train me at home?"

It wasn't questionable to think that Naruto would choose Sarada over his own son. But if that's the case, why didn't he go straight forward to tell him? He wasn't the only one to have these thoughts. Sarada too questioned it but then has assumed that her own father decided to deducate his time on missions and training his 'beloved' student. It wasn't that breakable.

Naruto counter attacks Sarada. The girl studied the movements of the lord 7th with her sharingan and dodges it using her kunai to protect herself substaining injuries.

"You're getting better at this. Keep it up, try attacking me more!"

Sarada nods in response as throws kunais and shurikens to stop the movements of Naruto. It was obvious that she would charge at that level using weapons to strike further.

Sarada's sharingan was getting brighter, using that method is sure to give her a huge tip to glance and strike her opponent from behind.

'I have to get stronger. I won't disappoint anyone. I will prove to them that no matter what happens, I'll protect them with my power.'

Naruto uses his shadow clone to see if Sarada would fall for his move or even try attacking one by one. It may be a bit of a challenge but at some point it has to be like that.

Meanwhile with Boruto just watching the scene. He softly smiled, not at his father...to Sarada. It turns out that she's willing to understand and analyze the movements of the attacks of his father.

'You'll eventually reach up to your goal like that if you keep going. Don't give up Sarada. I know its selfish of me to think things further without your presence but I'm praying for you. I'm pretty sure that your dad wil he proud of you.'

With that thought kept in mind, Boruto leaves the two keep matching eachother over and over. With this image in kind. He truely wishes Sarada well.

The training sessiob kept going and going until realizing the time was very low. Sarada has some cuts but was able to maintain her composure throughout all matches. Not even a single whine was heard, she just kept going.

Naruto took deep breath and slowly smiles at his own student.

"You really gave effort to this training. With that said... I'm really proud of you. You didn't held back a single move. You just kept going to the fullest. I'm pretty sure Sakura and Sasuke would bevery proud of you."

Sarada forced a chuckle, knnowing deep inside that her mother woud be more proud than her own father.

"Thank you lord 7th."

Naruto nods and stood up.

"I'll be heading home. Take care okay. We'll meet up to train more tomorrow, depending on how much work I get done. How does that sound?"

"Its okay, I agree."

Naruto chuckled.

"Good. Well.. See ya!"

As Naruto vanished from the training grounds, Sarada took a deep breath and sighed. She gripped her fists tightly.

"Papa never comes home... I'm still pissed off that he doesn't come home and not spend every single of his time with family. I get it that missions are important but geez!"

With that being said, Sarada starts walking off, heading home in that night. Not even a word slips out.

The next step now is to try avoiding possible fustrations. Keeping her eye on the training courses. Its better than nothing at this point.

It also makes her wonder...

When will her sharingan awakes the 2nd tomoe? It is necessary to have it now just so she could increase her level of strength. But for now she'll have to wait see.

As arriving home, again no words escaped from her lips. Skipped dinner, took a shower fell asleep.

'I wonder what tomorrow will bring..? Maybe it's best not to think about it too much. Becoming more stronger is what I need to put thought on and end this equal misery at once...'

And with that thought narrowed in her mind, she fell asleep.
