Sarada turned her head in shock, only to see her father, Sasuke, standing there — his chopsticks slipping from his hand and clattering to the ground.
She never expected him to return so suddenly, much less to appear here, now of all times.
What should I do? If Dad finds out about my relationship with Sumire and Boruto... Sarada's heart raced in panic.
"Dad, you… how did you end up here?" she stammered, her voice tinged with nervousness.
"Oh? Is that Sarada's father?" Sumire's face went pale as paper. She stood up quickly, flustered, and took a step back, unsure of what to do.
"Yo, Sasuke-uncle."
Boruto waved casually, trying to ease the tension.
But Sasuke didn't even glance at him. His piercing eyes locked onto Sarada.
"...Sarada," he said, his voice low but sharp. "Tell me — what exactly is going on here?"
Sarada lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the corner of her clothes. Her voice came out barely above a whisper.
"Dad, you misunderstood. We're just friends… just eating lunch together at the training ground. Sumire's cooking is really good, so I let her try mine too, and then… and then it just kind of turned into this."
Sasuke's gaze hardened. He could tell immediately that she was lying.
He didn't understand — why would Sarada be with this purple-haired girl and Boruto, acting like this?
Did Boruto use the Tenseigan to manipulate my daughter?!
A storm of rage flared up inside him.
"I'll cut you down right now!" Sasuke snapped, unsheathing his Kusanagi sword in a flash and lunging toward Boruto with killing intent.
"Dad! Don't!"
Without hesitation, Sarada spread her arms and threw herself in front of Boruto and Sumire.
The blade stopped less than a centimeter from her chest.
Sasuke froze — his eyes full of disbelief and barely restrained fury.
"Sarada, move aside!" he commanded.
But Sarada shook her head firmly.
"Dad… you can't hurt Boruto!"
Hearing that, Sasuke's expression darkened even further.
"I'm your father! This brat has done nothing but drag you into danger, and you still want to protect him?!"
"Dad," Sarada said, her voice trembling, "you don't understand Boruto at all."
As she spoke, her eyes began to change — the Mangekyō Sharingan spiraling into existence, its sun-like pattern gleaming crimson.
The sight struck Sasuke like a lightning bolt. His hand trembled, the sword shaking as his body involuntarily stepped back.
"Sarada…" he breathed, her name falling softly from his lips.
Sumire watched, guilt twisting in her chest.
If I hadn't done what I did back then… Sarada and her father wouldn't have ended up like this. I ruined everything… it's my fault.
"I'm sorry," Sumire blurted out, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. Please, forgive—"
Her words were cut short by Sasuke's shaken whisper.
"The Mangekyō… Sharingan?! How is that possible?!"
He looked into his daughter's eyes in disbelief.
"When did it awaken? You have to go through unimaginable pain to awaken the Mangekyō… Naruto's son isn't dead! Did he do something to make Sarada suffer like that?!"
The thought ignited his fury once more.
Chakra burst violently from his body, stirring the air into a vortex of pressure. The entire training ground trembled.
Boruto tensed, watching carefully. So that's the power of Sasuke's new arm… ever since he got Hashirama's cells, his chakra is on another level.
Sasuke's chakra flared to its peak — purple energy blazing outward.
A massive skeleton formed around him, then muscle and armor. The Karasu-Tengu armor cloaked him fully as his Complete Body Susanoo rose to its full height, its wings stretching across the sky.
"Why did Dad go straight into Complete Body Susanoo?!" Sarada gasped in alarm.
Boruto narrowed his eyes, thinking quickly. Dad should be here any second now…
Meanwhile, across Konoha's streets, Kakashi was pushing Might Guy's wheelchair when a villager shouted, "What is that?!"
Everyone turned to see a towering, hundred-meter-tall Susanoo looming in the distance.
Guy's eyes widened. "Kakashi! That looks like Sasuke's Susanoo!"
Kakashi frowned, already analyzing. "Yeah… that's definitely him. That direction… it's near the training ground. Let's move!"
He pushed Guy's wheelchair at full speed, racing toward the massive figure.
In the Hokage Office, Naruto instantly felt the chakra flare. He stood up sharply, looking out the window — only to see Sasuke's colossal Susanoo rising from the earth like a mountain of violet fire.
"What the hell is Sasuke doing? Why would he use Susanoo inside the village? Don't tell me… that Masked Man came back?"
His expression hardened.
Without hesitation, he activated Sage Mode, shattered the office window, and shot toward the training ground in a flash of golden light.
Back at the scene, Sumire could barely stand from the sheer pressure of Sasuke's chakra.
"So this is… Sarada's father's power?" she whispered, trembling.
"Dad! Stop this!" Sarada cried, desperate. "What are you doing?!"
"What am I doing?" Sasuke roared. "I'm going to cut down the bastard who made you awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Dad, it's not what you think!" Sarada shouted back. "Boruto didn't hurt me!"
"Sarada, move aside!" Sasuke's voice thundered. "This brat isn't worth your—"
He was suddenly cut off by a flash of golden light.
A figure appeared between them in an instant — tall, cloaked in blazing chakra.
It was Naruto.
"Sasuke!" he shouted. "Are you out of your damn mind?! Using Susanoo inside the village?!"
"Seventh Hokage-sama!"
"Dad!"
"Uncle Naruto!"
Naruto quickly looked back at Sarada, Boruto, and Sumire. "Are you all okay?"
His sharp gaze scanned them — and then froze when he saw Sarada's eyes.
"The Mangekyō… Sharingan?" Naruto muttered, his heart sinking. "When did she awaken it?"
Seeing that they were unharmed, he turned his full attention back to Sasuke.
"Sasuke," he said in a low, commanding tone. "What the hell is going on? Why are you using Susanoo in the middle of Konoha?"
Sasuke glared back at him, teeth clenched, voice trembling with fury.
"...Naruto," he growled. "You've got a good son."
