Chapter 36

[ Sarada's P.O.V ]

My name is Sarada Uchiha, daughter of Sakura Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. My whole life revolves around my mother. She is the only family I knew from the day I was born.

My father, Sasuke Uchiha, is a ninja. Who is out of the Village doing a long-term mission. I even forget his face, which I saw when I was two years old.

Whenever I ask my mother about him, she makes a sad face. Sometimes I wonder if dad left mom and for other women. She always says that he is out there protecting the Village.

I wanted to be Ninja, to find dad and bring him back home.

" Ah... Sarada, how are you? " said a voice with which I am very familiar. " Hinata-san, I am fine. Thank you for coming. "

Today Hinata-san and her daughter Himawari were visiting us for lunch. My mom invited her today for fun. I didn't mind because she is the one who always takes care of me when mom is busy at the hospital.

" Hinata, come on, let's cook together. Sarada, could you play with Himawari? " my mom came out of the kitchen and asked. " Yes, mom. "

I said, but I am not in the mood to play with her, as in two months, the Ninja Academy is going to start, and I want to perfect my Shuriken throwing skills.

Before I could say anything, Himawari took out a book from her bag and started coloring pictures in the book with some Colour pens. ' Well, she is doing something on her own. I should get going then. '

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

Before I could even move, someone rang our doorbell. " Sarada, can you open the door. I am busy right now. " mom said from the kitchen.

' Who might come at this time. ' I thought and went near the door. As I opened the door, I saw was none other than the famous and most popular guy in our school, Boruto Uzumaki.

" Hey Sarada, is my mom in there? " he asked with a very gentle smile. " Yeah, come in. She is inside in our kitchen with my mom. " I said while pointing my hand towards the kitchen.

" Thank you," he said and went towards the kitchen.

Boruto Uzumaki is a Unique person. He is not like all boys who always do dumb stuff or play Video games. He's a very gentle and kind person. But most of all, he is a genius.

He always scores top in every exam. Make it physical or Theory, always top of the class with excellent results.

More than 90% of girls in our school like him, the number of fan clubs and fangirls he has are uncountable. Even seniors from different classes are part of his fan club.

On top of that, him being the Hokage's son makes it more appealing for the girls to chase him.

' What is so great about him?... expect his beautiful smile, gentle nature, and those beautiful deep blue eyes. ' I thought and blushed. ' WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!!? '

" Ha... Sarada, what happened? Do you have a cold or something? Your face is red? " asked Boruto looking at me. " Ah... no, nothing. So are you going to have lunch with us too? "

" Yeah. I got bored in the library, so I came here. So what are you doing? " Boruto asked with a smile. " Me? I was about to go out and practice Shuriken throwing. "

" Is that so. Can I come with you too? " Boruto asked. ' WHAT!!? He and I spend time alone together. Isn't that considered a date? ' I thought with a shock, but before I could say anything, Boruto went towards the kitchen.

" Mom, Sarada, is going out to practice Shuriken throwing. Can I go with her? " he asked his mother, but before she could answer, my mom replied with a sly smile.

" Oh... are you going on a date with her? " my mom asked with a sly smile. " WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING MOM!!!? " I shouted at mom with an embarrassed tone.

" Hmm... a date? Come on, Aunt, don't joke around. We are Eight years old. You want to see Sarada all embarrassed, right? " he asked mom without changing that gentle smile on his face.

" Hahaha... well, not her, but I wanted to see you being embarrassed. I never saw you being embarrassed. You are always so calm like you know the future or something. " said mom while laughing.

" Yeah, even I want to see you being embarrassed, Boruto," said Hinata-san with a smile. " Me too, Me too," said Himawari.

Boruto's face twitched for a second but returned to his gentle smile. Looking at him, I thought. ' He is so calm and collective, even at the school. Can I become someone like him? '

I came out of my thought and slapped both of my cheeks with both of my hands.

*Slap*

' No way, I'll lose to him. So what if he is a genius. I can beat him in many things. I am pretty sure that my Shuriken throwing skills are higher than his. ' I thought and looked at Boruto, who is looking at me with a weird face.

" Amm... Sarada, are you ok? You look..., distressed. " he asked. " Yes, mom, I am going out. Boruto, if you want to come, you can. " I said, going towards my room to take Shurikens from my Ninja bag.

As I came out of my room, I saw Boruto was talking with his mother. " Ah, mom, Sarada is here. We both will return before lunch, ok. "

" Ok, but be careful while throwing Shuriken, ok. You might injure yourself," she said, looking at Boruto. " Okok... you know about me. But still, I will be careful, ok. "

' He sure loves his mother. ' thought and went towards him. " Sarada, why don't we go towards the training ground where I practice every day. "

" Yeah, sure. " I said and thought while looking at Boruto. ' I am going to surpass you one day, for sure. '
