Author's Notes: This Naruto and Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 crossover story that I'm going to write for Sarada week 2023 is going to be what would happen if Sarada Uchiha had looked after the castle while Monica Raybrandt was traveling with Max. So, I hope you guys love this story and also, spoilers for the plot of Dark Cloud 2, even though it's an old PS2 game.

A few days had passed since the sudden murder of King Raybrandt, as Emperor Griffon's forces slowly moved in on the castle.
The two moons loomed in the night sky as Sarada Uchiha, who was the daughter of a guard that safeguarded the king eight-hundred years ago, looked at the castle worriedly before she heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Sarada was shocked to see Monica standing behind it, wearing traveling clothes as she noticed a sword and an armband on her.
"Monica! What brings you here?" Sarada asked, looking at the red haired princess. "I was worried about you."
"Sorry about that." Monica said, looking at the raven haired young woman. "But I need to talk to you about something serious."
Sarada looked at Monica with a confused look.
"What is it?" She asked, concerned.
"Sarada, I need you to contact Galen Agaris and look after the castle for me while I'm gone." Monica said seriously. "I'm going to stop Emperor Griffon from wiping out everything in this time."
Knowing that this would be the last time that she would see her friend, Sarada nodded.
"You can count on me, Monica." She said, looking at the redhead princess. "I'll safeguard your castle like my ancestor did eight hundred years ago."
Monica smiled before she turned and left the house, a blue time gate appearing out of nowhere as a blue stone glowed brightly.
It soon dawned on Sarada that Monica had an Atlamillia on her, as the Uchiha woman knew that Griffon had one as well.
"Thank you, Sarada…" Monica said before she left to parts unknown.
