When Sarada opened her eyes, she saw her mother running out of a cave like structure.
"You! What are you after!" Sakura grabbed the collar of the man in front of them.
"Is that..." Chocho asked.
"Uncle Sai!" They both exclaimed at the same moment.
"How many times do you plan to stab us in the back before you're happy?" Sakura demanded.
How many years has passed? Sarada thought. This Mama felt closer to her present day Mama. She no longer looked like a fragile flower that needed to be protected.
Suddenly a voice intruded on them.
"Ah...it's Sakura..."
Sarada saw her mother slowly turned her head, her eyes widening in shock as she took in the man standing in front of her.
"Sasuke-kun..."
Similar to her mother, Papa had also grown, he definitely looked different from his 12 years old self.
"Sarada...this must be where the romance starts?" Chocho hushed excitedly.
"Ha?"
"So insensitive, Sarada," Chocho shook her head while sighing. "Their eyes locked! The wind stopped! That's what Mama had mentioned! Start of an epic romance tale."
"Eh... I am sure it's more from shock from Mama side. And do you think that's romance!" Sarada pointed at the horrific scene in front of them, in which Papa started to attack those present in the scene. Mama included.
"Your father is truly terrifying," Chocho conceded.
Sarada swallowed nervously. She knew everything turned out fine in the end, but this... this was definitely not what she had expected! This was not the father she was used to. She did not know this power hungry, revenge focused, cold and heartless monster. This was definitely not her father! She felt as if a vengeful foreign soul was controlling the body of her father.
She saw her mother sobbing silently after her father had disappeared. The heart break and sadness she could feel from her. She wanted to hug her mother.
"Maybe... that's why Mama never told me anything about their past," Sarada said dejectedly. She buried her face in her hands. She was so confused, did her father really love her mother? She could not feel an ounce of friendly emotion from this foreign person that looked like her father. Let's not talk about romance, not even their previous team 7 comradeship was present. Maybe she had opened a pandora box she should have left untouched.
"Sarada, don't worry! Trust me! As a romance specialist, this is definitely an epic love story in the making!"
"When did you become a romance specialist?"
"Hoho, I have been watching great romance drama with my Mama since I was born. Nothing can escape my eyes. I have the Sharingan for romance!" She pointed her eyes in pride.
"..." Sarada sighed. "I guess we'll find out the answer in the end." No matter good or bad.
White light enclosed them again.
