Sasuke walks into the flower shop. The bell rings as he walks in.

Ino: Good afternoon, Sasuke! Anything particular you're looking for today?

Sasuke: Hey. And no, not quite. Have you seen Sai? I need to find him. I figured he'd be here since he's been helping around.

Ino: Oh, Sai is in the back. I'll get him out.

Sasuke: Alright thanks.

Ino takes in a deep breath.

Ino: SAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE COMPANYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Sasuke closes his eyes tight and twitches as the high pitch from her scream hurt his ears.

Within a few seconds, Sai comes running out.

Sai: Sorry Ino, what is it? Oh, Sasuke!

Sasuke: Hey Sai, can we talk? It's urgent. It regards Naruto.

Sai: Certainly! I'll be back Ino.

Ino: Alright, please be safe, love!

Sasuke and Sai wave bye as they walk out the store. The two started down the path outside the shop.

Sasuke: Sorry for the surprise appearance Sai, but I need to make this quick. I think Naruto is in trouble and I need to go check. Now. He gave me, Kakashi, and Shikamaru a task. That task is to gather information from the residents of the village on any strange activity, or strange appearances. A threat to be exact.

Sai: Ah, I see. Well then hurry! I already know what you need me to do.

Sasuke: Thanks, take the northeast routes and gather information there.

Sasuke runs off towards the Hokage Mansion and Sai runs off to complete Sasuke's task.

Meanwhile, at Boruto's...
Boruto lies on the floor beside Sarada.

Sarada: So what now? I'm kinda hungry.

Boruto: Yeah so am I, let's go downstairs.

The two walk downstairs. Sarada sits down at the kitchen table, on the far end. Meanwhile, Boruto is looking through the fridge and pantry.

Boruto: Anything you want in particular?

Sarada: Instant ramen would be nice!

Boruto: Alright sure.

Boruto grabs two instant ramen bowls and prepares them. Luckily, Naruto always stacks up on them. After waiting for several minutes, it's finally ready. Boruto gives Sarada her's and then he sits across from her on the other side of the table.

Sarada: Thanks Boruto.

Boruto: Yeah no problem! Ha, would you look at that. We're sitting at the table like we're actually married.

Sarada's face turns red.

Sarada: Idiot! Don't say that just out of nowhere!

She begins to look down as Boruto made her feel shy and embarrassed. She starts to eat.

Boruto: My bad...

Boruto scratches his head confused with what to say next.

Sasuke finally arrives at the Hokage Mansion. He enters and heads his way to Naruto's office. He gets there and opens the door forcefully.
