NIGHTLY VISITS
Sakura and Sarada stood outside of the hokage's mansion. Both wore formal dresses, with accessories to match. Sarada wore a pink bow in her hair and a necklace with the Uchiha crest. Sakura on the other hand, put more effort into how she looked. Her red dress was form fitting and fell just above her knees. She wore a pair of black strappy heels to match the choker she wore around her neck. Sakura neatly pinned bangs to the side, and straightened her hair so it fell behind her shoulders. The final touch was her makeup. With all the effort she put into her appearance, it was almost as though she was going on a date.
When the door opened, the two were greeted by an elderly woman. Sakura could only assume she was Naruto's maid. 'Greetings Mrs. Uchiha,' the woman said before letting the two inside. Sakura and Sarada followed the maid to the living room where the Uzumaki family was waiting for them.

'Sakura-chan, I'm glad you could make it,' Naruto spoke up.
She fought against the urge to blush and instead nodded her head.
'Your dress is so pretty,' Hinata added.
It was that moment that Sakura realized she was over-dressed. 'Thank you,' she replied with a light laugh.
They were escorted into the dining room. It was slightly overwhelming to see all of the food laid out before them. 'Wow, your cook must be fantastic,' Sakura voiced in awe.
'Thank you,' Hinata said with a smile catching Sakura off guard.
'Wait, so it wasn't the older woman?' Sakura asked.
'No,' Hinata replied with a small giggle. 'She helps keep the house tidy and occasionally will look after the children when Naruto and my schedules won't allow us to be here.'
It was odd, even though Sakura was dressed nicer than Hinata, with the mere mention of food she suddenly felt inferior. Cooking was something Sakura learned through-out her adulthood. She could make curry and a number of other dishes, but her tables were never as elaborate as Hinata's.
'It's very beautiful,' Sakura stated, before she gestured for Sarada to take a seat.
After everyone was seated at the table, they began the meal. That was when the questions started.
'So why is Sasuke-kun always gone?' Hinata asked.
Sakura glanced over in Sarada's direction, before turning her gaze once more at the hokage's wife. 'He likes to collect jutsus,' she answered. 'Konoha is too quiet for him, so tries to keep himself busy.'
'That's why he's going to build his own village,' Sarada spoke up.
'Sarada-chan,' Sakura began in a scolding tone.
Naruto however found himself laughing. 'Yup, that's Sasuke for ya.'
'Sarada-chan. Your papa isn't trying to build his own village. He simply wants to restore his clan. You are one of the last Uchihas.'
'Just like how dad's restoring the Uzumaki clan!' Bolt said loud and very proud.
'I don't see how you do it, Sakura-san. I would be very upset if Naruto-kun were always gone,' Hinata spoke up, snatching Sakura's attention once more. 'Do you worry about him?'
'In the beginning I did,' Sakura answered, 'But as the years went by, it was nothing out of the ordinary. No matter how many times he leaves, he always comes back. Almost like a cat.'
'Of course he comes back,' Naruto said with a smile. 'He has you to come back to.'
Sakura heavily blushed from how sudden the comment was, but she quickly transformed her bashfulness into her standard 'matter-of-fact' expression. 'Because he knows if he doesn't come home, I'll be forced to go out and drag him back.'
'Kicking and screaming,' Bolt laughed, earning a stern, but scary look for Sakura. Instantly he wiped he smile from his face and returned to eating.
'Do you think Sasuke-kun will be back in time for the Infinity ball?' Hinata asked.
'Who knows,' Sakura answered with a smile.
Sarada glanced at her mother, unsure of why she was answering so passively. The young girl then fixed her attention on Hinata and said, 'Of course he's going to be here! He knows how important the ball is to my mom. She's already bought her dress and it's one of the prettiest dresses I've ever seen!'
'Sarada-chan,' Sakura quietly said, hoping to gain control of the young girl once more.
'My papa told me that my mom's heart was his treasure!' Sarada shouted. 'So don't you dare imply he would break it!'
'Sarada-chan!' Sakura snapped before grabbing her daughter by the arm, and stood from her seat. 'I need to talk to you, but first apologize for yelling at Hinata.'
Sarada looked as though she wanted to protest, but the expression pinned Sakura's face made her think otherwise. The young ravenette looked at Hinata and bowed her head. 'I'm…sorry for being rude.' With a swift yank, Sakura ushered her daughter out of the room.
Once they were in the hall, Sakura released the young Uchiha. 'What the hell was that?!' she snapped.
'I should ask you the same thing,' Sarada huffed.
'Hinata was only asking a question,' Sakura stated, 'And you had to get defensive as though you didn't know better. I've raised you better than this!'
'Mom, she kept asking questions about papa. Why does she even care?!'
'Because she's concerned about us, Sarada-chan,' Sakura voiced. 'And if I catch you being rude like that ever again, you will be grounded.'
The two walked back into the dining room and took their seats once more.
'I'm sorry if I upset you, Sarada-chan,' Hinata said. 'I must have worded my questions wrong.'
'I was still out of line,' Sarada answered.
'So, let's start over, Sarada-chan. I wouldn't want tonight to keep us from getting along.' Hinata voiced with a smile.
'Ok,' Sarada said nonchalantly and returned to eating her food.
Himawari slid forward onto the edge of her seat and smiled brightly toward Sarada. The Uchiha peered over the top of her glasses toward the younger child and asked a single word. 'What?'
'Do you want to play after dinner?' Himawari asked. 'I have a lot of dolls, but no one to play with.'
'Bolt doesn't play with you?' Sarada asked.
'Dolls are for girls!' Bolt exclaimed in disgust.
'Says who?' Sarada asked while raising a brow.
'Everyone!' he argued.
'Boruto,' Naruto began in a warning tone. 'We're at the dinner table. If you keep this up, you'll make your mom cry.'
Bolt shut his mouth and looked down at his food before mumbling, 'Sorry, mom.'
'Himawari-chan, Sarada-chan would be happy to play with you after dinner,' Sakura voiced, causing the little girl to smile broadly with excitement.
'And Boruto will play too,' Hinata added.
After dinner, the children headed off to Himawari's room, and Hinata, with the maid's help, starting cleaning up dining room. Sakura found herself exploring the home. She had entered the home on a number of occasions, and yet with the redecorating, it was though she was laying eyes on the space for the first time.
'Sakura-chan,' Naruto said from behind, causing the girl to whip around. She gave him a one handed push before saying with a huff. 'Don't sneak up on me like that.'
'So are you and Sarada-chan spending the night?' he asked.
Her eyes widened in disbelief before she quickly whispered, 'Are you serious?'
'Yeah,' he answered with a laugh. 'That way I could see Sakura-chan just a little more.'
'Idiot,' she huffed.
Naruto stepped forward and kissed her. Even though her body wanted to continue, she stepped back. 'Until you end things with Hinata…I refuse to disrespect her in her own house.'
Naruto frowned. It wasn't because he wasn't getting his way, but more so out of guilt. Hinata was the type of girl neither of them wanted to hurt. Perhaps now he was seeing how complicated their situation had become. More importantly, Sakura worried about Hinata ending up alone.
Up in Himawari's room, Sarada stared at the doll she had selected to play with. She had long, curly teal hair, pulled up in two pigtails.
'We're playing ninjas, right?' Bolt asked.
'No. Instead we're going to play superstars,' Himawari told him. 'Sarada and I will be the singing girls, and you can be uh…our boss.'
'I think you mean manager,' he corrected, however he couldn't shake his confusion. 'Why don't you want to play ninjas? I mean, you could be the Mizukage and I could be the Hokage!'
Himawari fell silent. Tears formed in her blue eyes. 'Maybe…I don't want to be a ninja,' she whispered.
Sarada shot a glare over in her direction. 'How could you say something so stupid,' she asked.
'Hey, you don't have to be mean!' Bolt snapped.
'I'm not being mean, I'm being honest!' Sarada argued. 'She's the daughter of the seventh hokage, as well as one of the elite Hyuga and she doesn't want to be a ninja?! There are so many villagers who would give anything to be like us! She's ungrateful!'
Himawari started crying into her hands. Seeing this, Bolt stood to his feet and pointed at the young Uchiha. 'Take that back!'
Sarada set the doll down and stood up. She adjusted her glasses and looked back at him. 'You know it's true,' she calmly stated 'If people knew that the Hokage's daughter said she didn't want to be a ninja, what do you think they would say?'
'Did you ever think that maybe she has a reasons?!' Bolt shouted.
'And what the hell could justify turning your back on your calling?! People who throw away their full potential are scum!' she shouted even louder, causing Himawari to cry even more.
Bolt threw a punch at Sarada, however the dark haired girl grabbed his fist. 'Try to hit me again, and I'm make you cry worst than Himawari-chan.'
'I want to see you try,' he growled.
The door opened and Hinata gasped at the sight. Bolt withdrew his hand and Sarada held her hands behind her back. Himawari continued to cry. 'Both of you…in the corner,' she commanded.
After five minutes of having their noses pressed to separate corners in the room, Sakura and Naruto finally arrived. 'What happened?' the blonde hokage asked when he saw Hinata hugging Himawari while petting her hair. Sakura then noticed Sarada.
'Sarada-chan and Boruto-kun were fighting,' Hinata quietly said as she continued to comfort Himawari. 'I'm not sure what they did, but it upset Hima-chan.'
Sakura bowed her head and said, 'I'm so sorry, Hinata.' Then she walked over to the corner her daughter had been assigned to, and grabbed her by her arm. She pulled Sarada out of the room. The dark haired girl stumbled over her feet on the way out. Sakura didn't release her until they were outside.
'Why were you being disrespectful?' Sakura asked once they started walking home.
'Because papa told me that people who throw away their potential don't deserve respect,' Sarada huffed.
'Himawari is your friend,' Sakura stated; however, it was clear that her patience was running thin.
'I could never be friends with someone as weak as her,' Sarada huffed.
Sakura slapped her. The young girl's eyes widened and she held the side of her face.
'Don't you ever say that about your comrade again!' Sakura snapped. 'She's much younger than you and has time to grow up.'
Sarada looked down at her feet while holding the side of her face. She wouldn't admit it, but tears were forming in her eyes. Sakura stooped down so she could be at eye level with her daughter. 'Sarada-chan, I say this because having friends is a powerfully important thing. Yes, it's one thing to be strong, but no one can do everything alone. It's our comrades; our teammates; our friends…every person we've ever formed a bond with that give us the strength to live up our full potential. To throw away bonds…is the same as not living to your full potential as well.'
'Do you like me, mama?' Sarada whimpered.
'Of course I like you. I love you,' Sakura told her as she pulled her into a hug. 'You're the most important part of my life. Nothing will ever make me stop loving you.'
'I love you too, mama,' Sarada said as she hugged her mother as tightly as she could.
'Honey, tomorrow you'll have to apologize to Himawari,' Sakura instructed.
Sarada was quiet for a moment before quietly answering, 'Ok.'
Back at home, Sakura sat on her couch, listening to the ticking of her clock as she recounted the events at Naruto's house. She laid her head back so that her face was toward the ceiling; however, she closed her eyes. She didn't know why Sarada was rebelling as much as she was. Did she miss Sasuke that much? The woman glanced over toward the steps that led to her daughter's bedroom. By now the girl was changed out of her dress and tucked into bed. Sakura was still in her evening attire. Her shoes were neatly placed beside the corner of the couch. Eventually she would have to go to bed as well. 'Naruto,' she whispered with a heavy sigh. 'Why does everything have to be so complicated?'
There was a knock suddenly at her front door causing her jump slightly. The more she heard the knocking, the more she heard the sound of desperation. 'Hold on,' she called out as she pushed herself to her feet. She hurried her steps to the front door, unlocked it, and pulled the door open. To her surprise she saw a red haired woman with spikey hair. Upon closer inspection, she recognized her. '…Karin?' Sakura questioned.
'Can we please come in?' Karin asked. She gestured to a young boy about the same size as Sarada. His hair was black albeit for his dark red bangs. His eyes were black as coal, the same as Sasuke's. Without asking, she knew the boy was related to an Uchiha. She didn't want to suspect her husband had been unfaithful, but the signs pointed to it.
Sakura stepped aside so the two could enter the home. Once they were inside, Sakura led them into the kitchen, then started preparing two cups of tea. 'How old is he?' Sakura asked with her back to the two, while pouring the tea leaves into the tiny steel basket.
Sasuke Shimeji
'Thirteen,' Karin told her.
'He's a year older than my daughter,' Sakura commented.
'Her name's Sarada, right?' Karin asked.
'Yes. That's correct.' The pink haired ninja turned around and set the tea cups in front of the two. The little boy very much resembled Sasuke. She found herself stealing glances in his direction.
'Thank you,' he told her with a bow of his head.
'You're welcome,' she said before quickly adding, 'I'm Sakura.'
'I'm Shimeji,' the young boy said.
'Well, it's nice to meet you Shimeji-kun,' Sakura smiled.
'Sakura, Shimeji-kun and I have traveled a long way to find you and this village,' Karin spoke up, grabbing the pink haired kunoichi's attention. 'The things I need to tell you, I can't say in front of my son.'
Shimeji immediately snapped his head over in his mother's direction and protested, 'I'm not a baby, you can say it in front of me!'
'I'll show him to the guest room,' Sakura spoke up, earning an annoyed huff from the boy.
After their tea was finished, Sakura led the two to the spare bedroom in the back of the home. Along the way Shimeji kept asking questions about the pictures and artwork they passed. Sakura knew their home was beautiful, but it was different hearing someone else comment on her belongings. She opened the door and Shimeji walked inside. 'It's so clean,' he said.
'Ah yeah,' Sakura laughed, not about to go into detail about her own cleaning rituals.
'Thank you, Sakura,' Karin said. 'I have no right to ask anything from you, but I'm worried about Sasuke-kun.'
'Sasuke-kun?' she questioned.
Karin instructed her son to get ready for bed before closing the door, so the two women could find somewhere private to talk. Once they were in the living room, Karin continued.
'As you already know, Sasuke-kun has become obsessed with collecting new jutsus.'
Sasuke Uchiha Shimeji Gif
Sakura nodded. 'He has an entire office dedicated to analyzing the various scrolls he collects.'
The Uzumaki hugged herself before heaving a heavy sigh. 'Sasuke-kun is interested in forbidden jutsus. Jutsus that neither of us have even dreamed were possible, because he's determined to create his own. Although he's not shrouded in darkness, I can still see that lust of power in his eyes.'
'Are you traveling with him?' Sakura asked.
Karin nodded. 'Sometimes. Sasuke-kun told us that he still considered the members of Taka to be his comrades. Lately the missions have been too dangerous to take Shimeji, so it's often hard to find somewhere for him to take shelter.'
'I see…' Sakura answered, however she found herself focusing on the finer details of the story. While traveling, Sasuke was spending time with his son.
'There's a small village that's not affiliated with any of the great ninja nations. They're dangerous and rumored to be immortal. The first time I heard about them, Taka and I had stopped at a restaurant to relax after traveling for two days. Sasuke-kun mentioned something called the 'Scroll of the Dead'. Of course, it caught someone's attention. A one eyed, old man peered over at us from a neighboring table, and told us he had ran into the keepers of the scroll. He warned us about jutsus with the power to steal souls. Suigetsu looked as though he about shit himself. Sasuke-kun on the other hand, stared him at with his usual cool gaze. He wanted to know more. With the little information he had gathered, Sasuke-kun was determined to find their underground village. For years we've searched…until finally, we found a clue. We came across ninjas with the ability to transform into demons. We defeated our opponents, but Sasuke-kun left the last alive to interrogate for information. When the bastard died, Sasuke-kun was able to get a map from him. We didn't expect for their deaths to trigger traps.'
Karin lifted the sleeve of her coat to reveal a mark on her arm. It resembled a bird mixed with an upside down star. 'I thought Orochimaru-sama was the only one with curse marks,' she weakly chuckled.
'Where's Sasuke-kun now?' Sakura asked.
'Trying to find the rumored village hidden within Hell.'
Sakura fell silent unsure of what to make of the situation. Karin grabbed her by her shoulders and pleaded, 'Sakura, you're the only person I know who can save him. If Sasuke-kun keeps digging deeper, then he'll corrupt himself. Sakura, please…please save Sasuke-kun.'
Sakura drew the red-haired woman into a hug. She held her. Part of Sakura felt odd, but another side only wanted to help Karin. 'I can't save him…I never could,' Sakura admitted causing Karin to look at her in disbelief. 'But I know someone who can—Naruto. I can't explain the connection those two have, but if anyone can talk sense into him, it would be Naruto.'
'Then we have to go see him!' Karin exclaimed.
'It's late. I'm sure everyone's in bed, but we can definitely go first thing in the morning.' Sakura offered Karin a smile, which the other woman soon returned. Then Sakura stood to her feet and ushered Karin once more to the guest room. Once Karin stepped inside of the bedroom, Sakura walked to the room she shared with Sasuke.
She didn't know what to think of Sasuke. He was always so secretive. She wanted to know more about the jutsus he was looking for. She wanted to know if he preferred traveling with Karin than being home with his own family. More importantly, she wanted to know when her marriage died.
