Sarada p.o.v
(At Ichiraku's)
I am with my dad right now and I physically cannot express how nervous I am. I mean uncle Naruto did say that me and Dad are similar, but still, I don't think that we are that much similar at all! How could uncle Naruto even be his friend? Whatever the reason is, I trust uncle Naruto more than Dad! Still the only nice parent figure I have is Uncle Naruto, and my mom, I like her. But heck, she destroyed our house just because I asked who my father was and now look at us, we are living in a rented apartment. (ಠಗಠ)
I hope that at least we can be a happy family.
" Dad, can I ask you one thing?"
" Sure. Are you going to ask why I went away? Well, see I went away to protect Konoha and search after Kaguya's remains. I am sorry that I wasn't able to be there for you."
" No, I wasn't going to ask that. I just want to know, are your feelings really connected with mom's?"
" Oh look Sarada - there's our order. Eat up."
That's strange, why did dad avoid my question?
" Dad please tell me the truth. Do you.. really love Mom?"
" Back then, when I met Sakura, I thought that she was annoying. I was just focused on getting my revenge that I lost sight of everything else, even of her feelings for me. I never really took her into consideration then, so I don't know what I should say to you right now."
"So you never really loved Mom? I mean, I thought as such because you were away but still, really? Do you not care for me too?" It's a big shock taking this in but, deep in my heart, I think I knew that dad never really loved Mom, I was just reluctant to accept it. At least Dad is honest and doesn't play around with my feelings to say at the least. His way of confrontation is actually somehow reassuring, at least I won't be living in a fake dream world then.
"No, it's not like that. I care for you and for Sakura as well. You are one of the last Uchihas. I believe that I can be a better parent to you. And Naruto,he is the person who you admire the most, isn't he?"
"Yes dad! He is awesome! I dream about becoming a Hokage someday, just as awesome as him."
"That's great. Shall we leave now? It's very late."
"Yeah, sure let's go." I sure talked to my Dad a lot today. I believe that he is not so bad after all .
