Definitely a 5/5 for me. While not as good as last chapter(Lets be honest with ourselves we knew nothing could be as good as last chapter), I think this was a solid chapter.

Naruto's reaction to the entire thing was very Naruto and adult-like simultaneously while also being completely Hokage like, all I need to say is. Naruto you've never lost your gift with words. Thanks for that, you made a awkward conversation seem very easy.

With that whole conversation in last issue, part of me wanted to wack Sarada off the head and say "Respect your mother! She may not be related by blood but who raised you! Who was there for you when you fell down the stairs? Who was there for you, when you needed help for schoolwork? Yeah that's right Sakura. There is more to being a parent than being blood related." I know Sarada went through something very emotional and all but I was really mad. How could she forget all about that with a simple genetics test? She needed to learn this lesson and apparently so do the Naruto fanbase with all the uproar and upheaval this caused last week(and probably more to come as this chapter didn't really put it in stone yet either way). Now for my little comment on the entire situation(I've needed to get this out for a week and since I was thinking the confirmation was gonna come this week I waited so bare me out here).

All those people saying Sasuke having a bit of action before marrying Sakura ruins the relationship(or ship as some call it), or even Sasuke's character really need to learn to stop being over dramatic. If it was an affair during the marriage then yes that damages Sasuke's character a bit but there are 2 years worth of information we have no info on so for all we know he got into a relationship with Karin for a bit, got her preggers, realized his mistake. Had Sakura come out to help with the pregnancy(covertly of course this is a awkward situation for him. 9 months pass by, during which he ends up actually in a realtionship with Sakura). Asks Sakura to marry him, gets engaged. Decides that he will work with the situation he is in and accept being looked down on by everyone for his b*stard child. Karin doesn't want the baby, Orochimaru offers to take of Sarada. Sasuke rushes over to keep his baby away from Orochimaru. Sasuke and Sakura get married(or they may have been married during Karin's pregnancy just after getting into the realtionship situation I espoused who knows). Sakura takes Sarada home with her, and the entire village has no idea what happened, that Sarada is Karin's kid and not Sakura's, there are no birth records in the village, and Naruto doesn't know a thing. Plus there is no ruining of character for anyone(at least for characters that are actually important) There got that whole thing out of my system.

Its nice to know some things never change. Sasuke's still a d*ck, Sakura's still head over heels for Sasuke, and Naruto still has his "talk no jutsu". Look some may hate on Naruto and his "talk no jutsu" but that is one of the things that attracted me so much to the series. Also its nice that Naruto handled that situation much more gracefully than I would have(I would have had a similar thing to say except for with a Sakura head smack thrown in there somewhere).

Well anyway that cute adorable scene was priceless proving that Sakura is indeed a very good mom. Gotta love the entire "did you ever kiss Dad" bit. Sakura laughs, thinks of something better. "Mamma's Dirty". Sarada how do you know of those things at that age? You're like what 5-6 years old? Sakura must have given the birds and bees talk much earlier than most. Also a very quick shoutout to the fact that Sarada(without glasses on) still looked like Karin.
