Part 53

Soon after, Naruto and Himawari entered the room, both looking concerned as they approached. Naruto, with his usual protective nature, went straight to Sarada’s side, his expression serious yet caring.

"Your mom told us your fever spiked last night," he said gently, his voice laced with worry as he stood in front of her. He placed his large, warm hand on her forehead, frowning slightly at the heat still radiating from her skin. "You're still burning up, Sarada."

Sarada shifted under his hand, managing a small smile despite her exhaustion. "I’m sorry, Dad… didn’t mean to worry everyone."

Naruto gave her a reassuring smile, though the concern didn’t leave his eyes. "You don’t need to apologize for not feeling well. You work so hard, Sarada, you deserve to rest. Let us take care of you this time."

Beside him, Himawari stepped closer, her usual bright smile tempered with concern as she took Sarada’s hand gently. "Sarada-nee, you scared us," she said softly, squeezing her hand. "Yk why this is happening?, Because you're still thinking about work, when  you're clearly supposed to rest. You’re always so strong Sarada-nee, but… please don’t push yourself too hard."

Boruto, sitting next to Sarada, nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Listen to them, love. No more pushing yourself." He placed a comforting arm around her shoulders, bringing her closer as he continued to rub gentle circles on her back.

Sarada sighed, giving in to their care. "Alright, alright… I’ll rest," she said, glancing at each of them with a hint of guilt in her eyes, though she felt deeply comforted by their presence.

Naruto’s face softened as he patted her shoulder gently. "Good. And don’t worry about anything else. We’re all here for you."

Himawari beamed, letting go of Sarada’s hand to give her a quick hug. "And if you need anything, just let me know, okay? I’ll bring it right away."

Boruto chuckled softly, watching as his family surrounded Sarada with love and care. "See, you’re in good hands. So relax and get some sleep, princess."

Sarada nodded, finally allowing herself to lean back against Boruto’s shoulder, the warmth and support of her family helping to ease the tension she’d been carrying. As Naruto and Himawari continued to stay with them, Sarada felt a gentle wave of peace, knowing that she was surrounded by those who loved her.
