As Sarada and Hinata worked together in the kitchen, the air was filled with the delightful sounds of clinking utensils and sizzling ingredients. The aroma of breakfast wafted through the air, mingling with the cheerful banter of the family.

“So, what are you making that smells so good?” Naruto asked, leaning against the kitchen counter with a charming grin.

“Just some eggs and toast, nothing fancy,” Sarada replied, glancing over her shoulder at him. But before she could say more, Boruto swooped in, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, causing her cheeks to flush a deep crimson.

“Nothing fancy, huh? I’d say you’re cooking up some magic, my lady!” Boruto teased, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek. Sarada nearly dropped the spatula, her heart racing as she tried to focus on the cooking.

“Oh, Boruto, not now!” she squeaked, blushing even harder.

Hinata chuckled, shaking her head at the two. “You two are always so sweet,” she said with a warm smile, but it only fueled Boruto’s antics further.

“Sweet? I’m just trying to help her out with her cooking skills!” he replied, winking at Sarada, who was now practically glowing.

Himawari stood at the edge of the kitchen, watching the interaction unfold with a mix of amusement and cringe. “Ugh, can you two be any more cheesy?” she groaned, dramatically rolling her eyes.

“Oh, come on, Hima!” Boruto retorted playfully, “You should appreciate the love in the air! Besides, you should see yourself with Inojin!”

Himawari’s face turned bright red at the mention of her boyfriend. “Dad! Boruto! That’s embarrassing!” she squeaked, hiding her face behind her hands.

“Aw, but it’s true!” Naruto chimed in, laughing heartily. “You and Inojin are adorable together. Just look at you turning all pink! You’re a total sweetheart, just like your mother.”

Boruto nodded in agreement, trying to contain his laughter. “Yeah, don’t deny it, Hima! I’ve seen the way you look at him. It’s kind of gross, actually,” he teased, causing Himawari to pout.

“Shut up!” she shot back, crossing her arms in frustration. “I don’t want to hear about it!”

Sarada, still flustered from Boruto’s earlier teasing, couldn’t help but join in the playful atmosphere. “Maybe you should just ask him out on a proper date or something,” she suggested with a smirk, turning to her sister-in-law.

Himawari groaned again. “Stop it! You guys are the worst!”

“Hey, we’re just having fun!” Boruto laughed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “You should embrace it. Besides, Inojin’s a great guy. What’s not to like?”

Himawari’s cheeks flared up again, but a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth despite her embarrassment. “Fine, whatever. Just let me be!” she said, feigning annoyance while secretly loving the attention.

As breakfast continued, Sarada and Hinata exchanged knowing glances, both amused by the antics of their husbands and children.

“Alright, ladies, time to impress us with your culinary skills!” Naruto declared, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

“Yeah, because we all know the true talent lies with the women of this household!” Boruto chimed in, nudging Sarada playfully.

Sarada rolled her eyes, but her heart swelled with warmth. “Well, I can’t promise you a five-star meal, but I can at least make sure it’s edible!”

With laughter echoing in the kitchen, the family shared in the joy of the morning, the playful banter filling their home with love and warmth.
