Quick recap

Sarada Uchiha grew up with her father away and starts doubting even who her mother is. When Sasuke turns up on a mission, she sneaks out to find him, joined by Naruto and her friend Chōchō. The reunion is cold and full of suspicion. A man called Shin Uchiha appears with an army of clones, kidnaps Sakura and says he wants to rebuild the clan. In the fight Sarada awakens her Sharingan and comes to understand her family. Naruto and Sasuke defeat Shin, and Sakura confirms she really is her mother. At the end, Sasuke heads back out, taps his daughter's forehead, and Sarada decides she'll become Hokage.
