(Boruto's Birthday!) The door opens and Sakura enters with her daughter Sarada trailing behind. Sarada offers a soft 'thank you for inviting me,' while Sakura beams and wishes me a happy birthday. I thank her, my eyes lingering on Sarada with surprise. She explains she's here because her mother asked her to come. Mitsuki, already making himself comfortable at the table, gives a casual wave. Sarada observes how at home he seems, and he replies that it's his first real birthday party. Just then, the door swings open again—Shikamaru, Shikadai, Rock Lee, Metal Lee, Iwabe, and Denki pile in, voices loud and laughter infectious. The celebration is officially on.
