Part 47

Hima entered the room with a triumphant grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Boruto, Sarada, and Naruto all looked at her, curiosity evident on their faces.

"Okay," Hima began, practically bouncing on her feet, "I called Inojin and told him everything about Sarada-nee getting sick and not being able to go to the office."

Sarada's eyes widened. "Wait, you did what?"

Hima continued, undeterred, "Inojin’s furious, by the way," she added with a mischievous smirk, "but don’t worry, that’s part of the plan! I asked him to bring just a few of the really important documents that only the Hokage can handle here to our house tomorrow. This way, Sarada, you won’t have to go to the office, and your work won’t pile up either."

As Hima finished explaining, Naruto nodded approvingly, "That’s a smart solution, Hima."

However, Sarada felt a chill run down her spine. She knew exactly what was coming tomorrow—a scolding from none other than her overprotective "big brother," Inojin. Ever since they were kids, Inojin had always watched over her, especially because their mothers were best friends. To him, Sarada was more like a little sister he had to protect at all costs.

Meanwhile, Boruto’s face paled. He knew Inojin too well and understood that if Inojin was angry, it wasn't just Sarada who’d get a lecture. Boruto himself was in for it, too—probably for not taking better care of her. After all, during their wedding, Inojin had pulled him aside and warned him, "I don’t want to see a single tear in Sarada’s eyes, or you’ll have to answer me"

Seeing Boruto and Sarada’s expressions, Hima burst out laughing, "Come on, you two! It’ll be fine. Just try not to get on Inojin’s bad side."

"Easy for you to say," Boruto muttered, a nervous chuckle escaping him. "He’s your boyfriend. You don’t get the scary overprotective-brother version of him."

Sarada sighed, giving Hima a grateful smile despite her nerves. "Thanks, Hima. I appreciate it… even if it means Inojin’s lecture is inevitable."

With that, Hima left them to brace themselves for tomorrow’s "scolding session," her laughter echoing through the hallway.
