"Let's make a bet." These words had a deeper meaning than she would care to admit. Her entire life depended on it. She wanted to win, no matter what results would bring their little mind game.

Blissful silence accompanied them outside the house.
She had never felt the need to open up to anyone. The new friendships she made were the result of her annoyance with Boruto. It wasn't a bad feeling, putting trust in someone else.
Past months made her realise a lot of things. Her parent's secrets, the bet, the hardships of liking someone else, everything influenced her greatly.
Even what they discovered today didn't stop a feeling of euphoria, the euphoria Boruto's opening up to her to the point they can stand next to each other without a single word.
"Let's go back inside," she decided to destroy this moment, despite her overflowing emotions. Sarada didn't want to waste time she could use to spend with her papa since she didn't see him for too long.
"Yeah... We're jumping into the trouble, ya know? I'm not sure your mom will be happy with what we did," Boruto let out a sigh and followed her inside the Uchiha's residence.
They were already in boiling water for jumping out of the window from her room. Her mom is terrifying when anything related to safety is concerned.
"I do," she nodded.
"Are you sure it doesn't make you uncomfortable?"
"Why would it? It's not like I'm the only one in trouble." Sarada considered her answer lacked something, so she added, "Well, I can always pin the blame on you. It's not like your reputation will suffer from you causing mischief. You already have a proven track record for bringing problems."
"Hey, you wound my heart, ya know!"
"Get used to it. You'll develop enough tolerance now when you're my friend."
"Best friend?"
"No, that's Chō-Chō's privilege. I sincerely doubt you can provide me with the same level of entertainment."
"Ouch. My heart is in pieces, my soul utterly shattered with realisation Sarada is heartless," Boruto acted with a few dramatic poses along the way.
"..."
"I'm joking, joking! Don't give me the silent treatment."
"Pftt... You're funny. Let's hide the box and go inside."
