ACCEPTANCE

Sarada was feeling relieved that her father was now taking much time with them,whenever he goes out for a mission it would only last for a couple of days before he returns back to their home.

He also had enough time to give her his attention regarding her training or even just accompanying her to the academy.

And ofcourse she wasnt the only one who was ecstatic about the new adjustments.Her mother was beyond joyous,she was over-excited that she,to her father and her surprise,Sakura had almost filled up their dining table with lots of their foods.

"Anata!I made you your Tomato lasagna and rice ball,and oh Sarada-chan dont worry,I didnt put any tomato on your miso soup"Sarada was baffled and even tried to coaxed her mother when she was babbling in excitement.She even almost tripped after she fished out plates from the kitchen luckily her father catches her.

"Calm down,Sakura"his lone arm helps her with the plates and her mother flushed in embarrassment.Sarada made a face when Sakura mushed his father's cheeks and kissed him on his lips.

Looking away with her disgusted face,Sarada wave a quick goodbye to change her clothes to her room.

"Sarada"Her father greeted her at the morning table,her mother was nowhere near by,and even the kitchen was quite.She mumbled a greet before sitting across the table.

"Where's mama?"She asked.Sasuke put down his coffee before speaking.

"Hospital calls"He said with a frown,she noticed that he looks against the idea of her mother working in an early shift.And Sarada took her words from her mother.

"She's always like that papa,even in the middle of the night she gets a call from the hospital.And every morning too,she would left me a note for her disappearance and that's the reason I learned how to cook for myself whenever she's late"Sarada shrugs before eyeing the plate infront of her.She didnt recalled her mother cooking this,but when she saw the apron neglected on the counter she guessed her father was the one who cooks it.

Her mother always hang her apron at the rack,while her father doesn't.

"Was she always like that?"Sasuke quietly asked.Sarada nodded before taking a bite of her food.

"You know Mama,papa.She is stubborn and even Uncle Naruto and Granpa Kashi can't force her to take a break"She remembered the time Naruto uses his title as a hokage to excuse Sakura from working for a whole week and Sakura had never been so angry before.She had caused a big lump on his head and even Kakashi gave up.

Sasuke smirked and stands up before ruffling her messy head.

"I'll get your mother something to eat,god knows that annoying woman forgot to pack her lunchbox"he mumbled the last word but she heard him completely.She creeps her own smirk before watching his father's back.

When she comes home late,the house was quite,She slowly took her boots off and before depositing her bag at the table near by.

"Tadaima!"no one answered.She found herself in the living room and it was empty,she also tried to sense her parents chakra but there was none.

After their training,Sarada felt tired,she had bruised and scrapes at her legs and she felt sticky and smelly.So instead of worrying about her parents because she knows maybe they had gone somewhere she quickly took a bath.

Not a minute later they both arrived.

"Tadaima!"Her mothers face lightened when she saw her in the kitchen.Sarada also gave her a smile before watching her father who had his lone arm full of shopping bags.
