Part 30

A few minutes later, the door to Boruto and Sarada's room creaked open, and Himawari rushed in, panting. She had just come home from spending the day with her friends, and as soon as she stepped inside, Hinata had told her everything—about Sarada fainting and how worried everyone had been.

"Hima!" Boruto said, startled, looking up from where he sat beside Sarada’s bed.

Himawari, wide-eyed with worry, quickly made her way over to her brother and sister-in-law. "Is she okay? What happened?" Her voice was filled with panic as her eyes scanned Sarada's sleeping form.

"She fainted," Boruto said quietly, his gaze returning to Sarada. "She’s exhausted. The doctor said she needs rest, no stress for a while." His voice, though calmer than before, was still tight with concern.

Himawari's expression softened as she knelt beside Boruto. Her hand gently brushed against Sarada’s arm, her face full of empathy. "Sarada-nee… you’re always pushing yourself too hard," she whispered, shaking her head slightly. "But I’m glad she’s okay now."

Boruto sighed, his hand still holding Sarada’s as if he were afraid to let go. "Yeah… She just never says anything until it gets bad. I should’ve noticed earlier."

Himawari reached over and placed a comforting hand on Boruto's shoulder. "Don’t blame yourself, nii-chan. You’re here now, and that’s what matters."

Boruto looked at his sister, his expression softening. "Thanks, Hima."

Himawari glanced back at Sarada, still fast asleep but breathing peacefully now. "We’ll all make sure she rests properly," she added firmly. "And that means no Hokage work for a while."

Boruto chuckled softly, appreciating his sister’s support. "Yeah… She’s going to hate that part."

Himawari smiled, her usual cheerfulness shining through despite the situation. "But she needs it. And she has you… You’ll keep her in line." She gave Boruto a teasing nudge.

"I will," Boruto replied, more determined than ever. "No more overworking herself."

They both fell into a comfortable silence, watching over Sarada. Moments later, Hinata entered the room quietly, carrying a tray with tea for everyone. She gave them a soft smile as she set the tray down.

"How is she doing?" Hinata asked, her voice gentle as she looked at Sarada.

"She’s still asleep," Boruto answered, glancing up at his mother. "But the doctor said she’ll be fine if she gets enough rest."

Hinata nodded, relief clear on her face. "That’s good. Just make sure she doesn’t get too stressed," she reminded him.

Himawari took a cup of tea and handed one to Boruto. "We’ve got this, Mom," she said, her tone light and optimistic. "Sarada-nee’s going to be okay."

Boruto took the tea, though his gaze remained on Sarada. "Yeah… we’ll make sure of it."
