23.

Sasuke just sighed, and walked out of the hospital. He didn't mean to yell at his wife. He was just angry.

"I'm gonna have to check on her later.." Sasuke said. "I gotta meet Naruto at Ichiraku. No, ramen is not more important than his wife. He just wants to go so Naruto would stop being annoying.

" so, how is Sakura?" Naruto asked, as he was on his second bowl of ramen.

"Hn." Was the word Sasuke only said.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Did something happen?" He asked. "Did you make her upset again, teme?!"

"Don't go there idiot." Sasuke said. "Maybe I did, but I didn't mean to."

Naruto slurped his ramen, and sighed. "You're just worried about her huh?" He said, throwing the chopsticks in the empty ramen bowl. "I am too Sasuke, but.."

Naruto gave Sasuke a big smile.

"Nothing will happen to her! She's strong, remember?" He Pat Sasuke on the back. "I gotta go finish up some work. You know, hokage stuff." Naruto waved bye to Sasuke, and he was left alone.

Hm.. Should I go home? Sasuke thought in his mind. Or should I go check on Sakura?

If he went to go check on Sakura, what will he do? He already apologized, but that didn't make her feel better, did it? And what if she wasn't there? That would be embarrassed. Wait, why wouldn't she be there? She'll still be working at this time, right? Or.. Unless something.. Happens to her. Sasuke couldn't let these things worry him. He'll just talk to her when she gets home. Simple. Right?

Well, he had nothing else to do. Maybe he could train a little before he heads home? Go to Sarada to see what she's doing? Yeah, maybe he'll do that. She did say that she was hanging with Boruto and Mitsuki. Maybe they're at the burger place or something? He'll check there.

He walked to the place his daughter and Naruto's son always ate at, and looked at the window to see if he could see her.

And there she was, speaking to Boruto. It looked like she was fussing at him. Not surprising to be honest. Boruto does some stupid things.

He walked inside, and Sarada quickly looked at the door.

"Papa? What are you doing here?" She asked him with a smile.

"Just came to come check.." Sasuke said, and glared at Boruto.

"O-oh! Mr. Sasuke!!" Boruto said. "Why are you glaring at me..?"

Sasuke huffed, and turned away from him.

"Hn, you better not try anything with my daughter."

Boruto's eyes widened.

"Eh?! I wasn't trying to do anything- i-" he yelled.

Sarada just sighed.

"Papa, no worries. He was talking about playing a prank on his father.." Sarada said, while pushing up her glasses. "And I told him no.."

Sasuke slowly nodded.

Then he heard someone burst through the door.

"Sasuke!! There you are!!" Yelled a voice. It was Naruto. Why was he here? To scold Boruto about something?

"What is it dobe?" Sasuke said to Naruto, who was out a breath. "Did something happen?"

Naruto huffed.

"Yes!! Something happened!! Something happened to Sakura, teme!!" Naruto shouted. "I.. Was passing by the hospital and.. One of the doctors there came running out to tell me that Sakura was missing."

Sasuke eyes widened.

This could mean two things.

One, she ran away because Sasuke yelled at her.

Or two,  Aku got to her.

Can't be one because Sakura would never run away because of that.

Could it be two..? But Sasuke didn't have time to guess right now. His heart raced, and he tightened his hand around his Katana.

"Naruto. Tell me now. Where is she?" Sasuke said.

"I don't know, teme." Naruto said. "But I bet it was that pretend doctor."

Sasuke pushed Naruto out of the way and ran out the door.

"Papa!" Sarada said, with a worried look on her face. "Lord Hokage.. Did something happen to my mama?"

Naruto looked at Sarada, then patted her head.

"She'll be okay, Sarada." He said, with a grin. "Your mom's strong. She's not gonna let anyone hurt her, believe it."

Sarada blushed slightly when Naruto patted her head. Boruto just  rolled his eyes, and folded his arms.

"Will auntie Sakura be okay?" Boruto asked him, and Naruto grinned.

"Of course she will!" Naruto said, and patted Boruto's head. "Sasuke won't let anything happen to her."

"I hope."
