"Sakura, where did you get this?" Sasuke questioned as she quickly grabbed the piece of paper away from him. "Nowhere." She answered as she hid it under her arm and casually looked up at the ceiling. "Come on Sakura you know you can tell me anything." She said. "Good, step off!" she exclaimed as he laughed. "You and Naruto have been watching School of Rock again haven't you?" he asked her. "Now come on spill it." He told her. "Alright, fine! I sang at Hinata's baby shower and she gave me this." She explained as Sasuke raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't know you could sing." He said. "That's because I didn't want you or anyone else to know." She said heaving a sad sigh and hung her head a little. "Why not? I love you and so does the rest of your family. It's not like we would laugh at you or anything." He said. "Please Sasuke, forget it alright? I'm not good enough anyway." She told him. "How do you know that? If you sang at Hinata's baby shower and she gave you that flyer then obviously she thinks that you are." He said. "I just do!" she yelled as he simply looked at her and she took a deep breath.
"Look I get stage fright alright? I get nervous when I go out on stage and everyone is watching me." She told him. "Sing something." He told her. "You mean now?" she asked as she widened her eyes. "Yeah, the only other person here right now is me. Everyone else went to go see the new baby." He said. "But I want to go see him too." She said. "Come on Sakura, please?" Sasuke questioned. "Well alright, what do you want me to sing?" she asked him. "Whatever you want." He said.

"Wow that was pretty good." Sasuke told her. "What was?" Naruto asked as he came walking down the hall. "Did you know your sister could sing?" he asked him. "Gosh no, she should try out for the Konoha talent show then." He said. "Uh how's Boruto Naruto?" Sakura asked him quickly changing the subject. "He's great, do you want to see him now?" he asked and Sakura nodded so he led her and Sasuke down the hallway. Sure enough Boruto was sound asleep inside his mother's arms as his new aunt and uncle walked into the room.
That was until suddenly his bright blue eyes popped open. "He looks just like you Naruto, he even has your hair and the mark of the Nine-Tails. It's funny I know I'm sort of the smart one in the family but I didn't know that that could be inherited." She said. "Me neither." Naruto said with a shrug. "Go figure!" he exclaimed while the baby continued to study his family and blink his eyes at them until he started to cry. "Well, at least I know why he's upset." Naruto said as he plugged his nose and waved his hand in front of his face.
"Hey Sasuke, do you want to give me a hand changing him?" he questioned as he turned to look over at his friend. "No thank you. Those days are long over for me. That reminds me, where's Sasame?" he asked looking down at the boys. "How should I know? I'm not her babysitter." Sakori said raising his arms into the air. "The last thing I heard she had to go to the bathroom, but that was almost a half an hour ago." Mizu told him as Sasuke groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Oh great!" he exclaimed. "You mean she's gone again?" Sakura asked her husband anxiously. "Don't worry, I'll find her." He assured his wife. "You stay here with everyone else, I'll be right back." He told her before he rushed off. Meanwhile Sasame had been on her way towards the tryouts. "Hello am I in the right place?" she questioned when suddenly she felt herself being whisked away. "You have got to stop running off like that!" Sasuke scolded his daughter. "Your mother is worried sick about you." He told her.
"I think that that's exactly Mom's problem. She worries way too much." Sasame said. "Well as much as I have to say that I agree with you that doesn't mean that excuses you for constantly disobeying us. You're grounded for a week." He told her. "But come on Dad you can't do that! At least not for this week, I was going to try out for the talent show." She said. "Really?" he asked her. "Yeah." She said with a nod. "Well that sort of makes a difference then." He told her. "Please Father don't make me lose the one chance that I have of making it big!" she exclaimed.
"Alright I'll make you a deal. If you promise to sing with your mother in the show and help her get over her stage fright then I'll let you off the hook. This time." He said. "Gee thanks I won't ever forget you for this!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I'll go talk to your uncle Naruto so he can talk to your mother about it. If anyone can convince her to the show, it'll be him." He said.

Sakura and Sasame stood backstage with Naruto and Sasuke. The two girls had on matching sparkling pink shirts that didn't reach their naval with flashy pink pants to go along with it. They also had their hair styled up in ponytails and sparkles on their cheeks. "Alright this is it ladies, it's time to knock em dead!" Naruto exclaimed. "You know maybe Mom was right, I'm not sure if I can do this." Sasame said. "Sure you can, you just have to believe in yourself.
A lot of people didn't think I was going to make it as hokage, but I proved them wrong." Naruto told his niece. "Uncle Naruto's right Sasame, we can do this. I know we can." Sakura said as she looked up at her husband and he grinned proudly down at her. "Good luck." Mizu said. "Break a leg!" Sakori exclaimed before the two girls ran out on stage towards a crowd of screaming fans. "Introducing Inner Beauty!"
