Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring

NARUTO外伝 七代目火影と緋色の花つ月

NARUTO Gaiden: Nanadaime Hokage to Akairo no Hanatsuzuki

In "Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring," the narrative shifts from Naruto Uzumaki to the next generation of shinobi, with Sarada Uchiha—daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, two of Naruto's closest comrades—taking center stage. Sarada greatly resembles her father but frequently questions why she inherited none of her mother's traits. Her curiosity intensifies when she finds a picture of Karin, a former teammate of Sasuke, and realizes she looks more like that mysterious woman than she does Sakura. When Sasuke returns to the Hidden Leaf with news of an impending large-scale threat, the Seventh Hokage Naruto joins him on a reconnaissance mission. Unbeknownst to both Sasuke and Naruto, Sarada and her friend Chouchou Akimichi secretly trail them, determined to uncover the truth about Sarada's lineage.
