Thank you for the food!
Thank you.
Today's the day of our new holiday!
"Parent and Child Day."
Have a great time everyone, ya know!
I'm so sorry, Sarada.
I have to go work today. But I think I can be home by dinner.
Oh, don't worry about that sorta thing.
Besides, Dad's not here either.
Also,
I promised Boruto that I'd help him with shuriken training today.
I wonder where he is, and what he's doing now?
Over here, Daddy!
Mr. Sasuke!
Boruto.
I'm seeing a lot of families gathering and doing things together.
Is something going on?
Huh? Isn't that why you came home?
Today's Parent and Child Day.
What is that?
They said it's a new holiday
to deepen the bonds between parents and their kids.
And you're not with Naruto?
Oh, right about now, Dad should be taking Himawari around and having fun.
Oh yeah! Sarada should be at the training grounds.
I see.
There are lots of festival stalls, and events like an eating contest!
Why don't you take Sarada out and have some fun?
Yeah.
See ya later!
Tactics for Getting Along with Your Daughter
Awesome!
I figured as much… It won't be like it was with Itachi, huh.
Father…
I mastered a jutsu…
I want you to see it.
Parent and child, huh…
Dad?
You're back? Since when?
Just a little while ago.
But, what are you doing here?
Boruto told me you'd be here.
Boruto did?
Are you about to train from now?
Uh… Well, um…
Do you want to go check out the festival?
Huh? We can?!
I really wasn't expecting you to come home today, Dad!
Today?
Yeah.
After all, today is—
I just happened to have some work near the village…
so I stopped by.
Oh, I see.
Daddy! Please!
APPLE CANDY Can you get me one? Please!
I don't have a choice, do I? I'll take one of these.
Sure.
Yay! Thanks, Daddy!
How nice…
Do you want one?
Huh?
You want to eat one too?
It's okay, not right now.
No need to be shy. The candy's red.
Huh? So, what if it's red?
It's the same color as your glasses and outfit.
You like red, don't you?
Well, I don't hate it, but…
Then how about some tomatoes?
There was a stall that was selling chilled tomatoes—
No thank you. I said I'm fine!
I see.
I can't believe how hard it is to find a Kuraa-ma.
Hey, Daddy… How about this store?
Hmm?
I coulda sworn this place is…
I get it!
Huh? What?
Get on.
Please just stop. You're so embarrassing!
Something bothering you?
What do you want?
Oh, nothing. I just happened to see…
…a sad father trying to give his daughter a piggy-back ride
and get rebuffed.
Hey, hold on a minute. You know what I think?
It's probably from traveling alone all the time,
but your social skills seem to need some polishing up…
But, your Visual Prowess still has a ways to go.
What are you trying to say?
You possess the Mangekyo Sharingan,
but it seems you can't even peer into your own daughter's feelings.
What's that?
Make-Out Tactics!
MAKE-OUT TACTICS For me these days, this is like a guidebook to life.
MAKE-OUT TACTICS
Don't you want to learn some tactics
to help you get along with your daughter?
It's the final round at last!
The last battle features Ankorodo's Sweet Azuki Bean Soup
– with Dumplings! – It's so much fun.
– There, there… – So much fun.
Huh?!
Sasuke Uchiha.
Shino Aburame.
By the way…
I owe you my thanks for taking care of my daughter at the Academy.
O-Oh…
How'd she do?
She's exceptionally talented.
But the road she plans to take won't be easy.
I'm sure she'll face many hardships,
but I hope you'll be there as her father to support her.
As her father, huh?
Did she encounter… any undesirable...?
Huh?
What did you say?
Any bad "parasites" I should know about?
Did you say bad "parasites"?!
There is…
no such thing as a bad insect!
Mommy, there's a weird man…
Hey!
Dad!
About earlier…
I'm sorry. I overreacted.
In order to close the distance between you…
the way you address her is really important.
Use a soft, loving tone.
When you talk to Naruto,
you call him "loser," right?
That has a warmth and familiarity to it. It's nice.
Try calling your daughter…
Peanut…
Huh?
You're my cute little peanut.
I'm not a nut, you know.
You know, Dad, you haven't called me by name today, not once.
Could it be that you've forgotten your own daughter's name?
What are you saying? It's Sarada.
Oh, so you actually remember.
Furthermore, there's a tactic explained in this book
that's sure to make a girl swoon. I'm going to teach it to you.
No matter how moody the girl, it'll melt her like butter,
and turn her into a kitten.
And that tactic is…
Uh, so…what's going on?
I don't really feel cold, you know.
You're really annoying today, Dad.
How come you're not with Mr. Sasuke?
Hey, Boruto…
I don't think my dad knows me at all.
Huh?
And everything he tries just doesn't end up connecting.
Well, let me ask you…
Do you understand Mr. Sasuke at all?
Huh?
It's Parent and Child Day, after all.
Just be upfront and tell him if there's something you wanna do with him.
I'm sure Mr. Sasuke just wants to spend some quality time with you.
You think so?
"Annoying," huh?
Any way you look at it, you two are definitely father and child.
Do you still have that book?
Oh? Don't tell me…
You've realized the benefits of Make-out Tactics?
Give it to me so I can toss it into the river.
Actually, I should toss you into the river, Kakashi.
Uh. You're right.
Oh well, an uncle can't possibly understand your daughter's feelings,
no matter how hard he tries.
But wait,
someone much more qualified is heading this way.
S-S-Sa…
Sasuke.
Sakura!
Sarada sent me a message that you were home.
It's been a while since we've all been together,
so I thought we could have a takoyaki party.
For her…
I think her yearning and adoration for her father
are much stronger than other kids.
Since you're away so much, it can't be helped.
To her, you're cooler and stronger than any other dad around.
And well, you are. That's a fact.
So, if she sees something in you that's less than perfect,
she gets disillusioned.
Sarada hasn't really experienced your everyday self.
So, stop acting tough all the time, and just treat her normally.
And just how do I do that?
I'm not really sure.
Let's see…
I guess it's the same as what you wanted
from your father and big brother when you were a little boy.
Oh, that's right!
You know, Sarada's dream is to become the Hokage one day.
The Hokage?
Wow, Big Brother!
You hit the target right in the middle, even the one in the blind spot
behind the rock!
All right! Now it's my turn!
Sasuke, it's time to go.
But you said that you'd teach me a new shuriken jutsu!
I have an important mission tomorrow, and I need to prepare for it.
You're a liar, Big Brother.
Oww!
Sorry, Sasuke.
Maybe some other time.
Aww, c'mon!
Focus, focus!
Okay, I can do this!
Dad?
Please don't bother me.
Hey, c'mon!
Oh!
Yes!
I heard you want to become the Hokage.
What?
Are you gonna laugh at me and tell me it's a ridiculous dream?
Not at all.
At one time, I tried to become the Hokage.
Huh? I never knew that!
I only told a few people.
But my vision of the kind of Hokage I wanted to be…
…was warped.
But I had a friend who straightened me out.
He pointed me towards optimism and the right path.
What's been going on?
Are you just bragging about a friend?
He's not a friend you can brag about.
He's just a loser, who just forges ahead in whatever direction
he thinks is right.
I don't get it.
But if he's…
If Naruto is who you're following…
You won't make the same mistakes I did.
You'll make a great Hokage.
Huh?
I'm all for it. Don't ever give up, okay?
Are you giving up?
No way!
Don't say stupid things.
You're so awesome, Dad!
It's your shuriken that hit it dead center.
As expected…That's my boy.
Well done.
As expected, that's my…
Well, I'll save that for later.
What?
It's nothing.
This is what I've wanted to do with you, Dad.
Can we do this a little longer?
But Sakura's waiting.
Yeah, you're right.
Some other time…
Aww, c'mon!
Boruto!
Hey!
Guess I wasted my energy worrying about you.
Looks like you're doing all right.
Yeah. I owe you, this one time.
Yeah, be grateful!
But you know, the day's not over.
Huh?
If there's anything you want to do with Lord Seventh on Parent and Child Day,
just be upfront and tell him.
Huh?
Didn't you tell me the same thing, to be upfront and say it?
Yeah, I did, didn't I?
What am I stressing over?
After I lectured you like that.
Thanks, Sarada!
UZUMAKI
I'm home!
Welcome back!
Hey…
I'm really sorry about today.
I spent the entire day with Himawari and didn't make any time for you.
It's fine.
You probably prefer a game or something like that, but…
I didn't know what you like.
What is this?
Open it.
This is…?
A present from me.
Hey, Dad?
Hmm?
It's still technically Parent and Child Day…right?
Yeah, it is.
The sun's gone down, but…
Could you train with me for a while?
Of course, ya know!
Parent and Child Day…
I'm really glad I got to enjoy it until the very last minute, ya know!
So much fun! So much fun!
Kuraa-ma's having fun!
There, there Kuraa-ma!
– You are sooo cute! – Pet me again!
– There, there! – It's so much fun!
So much fun!
The sound's so—!
Namida's jutsu's so powerful, I think I'm losing my hearing!
I've made my decision. For your sake, I'm gonna stop crying!
So, I'm gonna start training with a new jutsu!
Oh! It's rare to see you so determined, Namida!
All right, time to train extra hard!
