Just as Naruto leaves, Boruto arrives together with Mitsuki, with the intent of bringing Naruto his lunch. Naruto asks Shikamaru to apologise to Boruto for him and heads off to meet with Sasuke. They both declare they cannot forgive Sasuke for killing his older brother, Itachi, and promise to make him pay. Elsewhere, the mysterious boy meets a person cloaked in an Akatsuki mantle, informing him of his brief fight with Sasuke. Sarada, however, secretly hears this and decides to tail him until she realises Chōchō has invited herself along, thinking Sarada is helping her find her “real” parents. Naruto leaves a shadow clone to run the village with Shikamaru as he heads out to meet Sasuke and Yamato. Together, they come to an agreement that the boy is not an Uchiha survivor, but more likely another one of Orochimaru’s experiments. In his office, Naruto sees Sasuke’s hawk and realises the situation Sasuke is in and consults Kakashi. Sarada eventually decides to simply find her father herself or ask the Seventh Hokage about her dilemma. This is challenged by an eavesdropping Mitsuki, who simply states that it was normal for girls at their age to start questioning their identity, angering Chōchō. Humorously, Chōchō explains to her that she doubts her parents are her real parents. Annoyed that she is being ignored while trying to lose weight, she simply sighs as Sarada appears. In a restaurant, Chōchō complains about her father’s excessive eating habits, which her mother, simply ignores. Meanwhile, Sarada’s identity crisis continues and she reveals to Shizune that she knows that there is no record of her birth in the village, with Shizune’s evasive demeanour on the topic not helping matters. After encountering a mysterious boy possessing the Sharingan and wearing the crest of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke sends a hawk back to Konohagakure to contact Naruto about the matter. Pulling out the larger picture of her father, she sees him with the rest of his team Taka and, to her horror, Karin - a girl with glasses similar to her, causing Sarada to further question her own parentage.Īll the while, Sasuke appears to be returning to Konohagakure. However, as she picks up the picture from before, Sarada makes a shocking discovery: the family picture is fake. Dropping off her mother to Shizune, Sarada returns to her house’s ruins to collect some valuables. Collecting herself, Sakura apologises to her daughter but realises her outburst has destroyed their house, much to her horror as apparently, this is not the first time Sakura destroyed it as she cries out about a loan she took out before fainting. When Sakura can’t give her satisfactory answers, Sarada openly questions the validity of her parents’ marriage causing Sakura to violently lash out. Upon returning home and seeing a picture of her parents together, Sarada questions her mother about him. Seeing all this, Sarada quietly admits, at her best recollection, she has never seen her own father for as long as she can remember. Sarada walks home, jealous that her classmates were being trained by their fathers for the exams - with Chōchō Akimichi eating with her father Inojin Yamanaka getting drawing lessons from his father and even Boruto playing an expansive game of hide-and-seek with his ever-busy father, the Seventh Hokage, coupled with being given a lecture by Shikadai Nara and his father. However, Sarada questions the meaning of a shinobi and her future, despite being told she must be proud of being born into the Uchiha Clan. As Shino Aburame explains to his class that within one week they’ll be going through graduation examinations for genin positions, the majority of the class voices their views on the opportunity.
