Yet another instance of Sasuke and Sakura's nonverbal communication is seen in Boruto episode 227, when Sarada is noticeably pensive as she studies the previous Team 7's team photo. Sakura notices her daughter is upset for some reason and inquires about it, but Sarada brushes off her mother's concerns and retires for the night.

Sakura then exchanges a glance with Sasuke, who had evidently been sensing his daughter's unhappiness as well. Their glance is yet another example of their ability to have an entire dialogue without a single word. I can practically here the dialogue even without a word being said:
"Something's up with Sarada."
"Yeah, I noticed that too."
"Are you going to take this one?"

Sakura's and Sasuke's visual exchange says it all. Sakura observes her daughter is upset over something, and she looks back at her husband to see if he's noticed as well. Sasuke has, as he reacts to Sakura's glance accordingly. It seems that a query passes between them; Sakura silently asks Sasuke to pursue the issue with Sarada and see what's the matter. Perhaps Sakura has observed that her daughter has some similarities to her father, such as hiding things when she's feeling upset, and Sakura feels that Sasuke, who has a similar tendency to hide his hurt or struggles, might be better able to reach Sarada when Sarada had brushed off her mother's concerns. In any case, Sasuke decides to speak to their daughter at Sakura's nonverbal expression of concern which was likely a silent request that Sasuke pursue the issue and find out what's bothering their daughter and causing her unhappiness.

Additionally, in this episode and for the past few episodes of Boruto, we see that since Sasuke's loss of his Rinnegan, he appears to be lurking at home far more often, again reinforcing that his incredible power was the reason for keeping him away from his family for so long, not because he didn't care about his family as some fans erroneously claim.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and Sasuke isn't the type to waste his talents if they can be used for the greater good.
