Boruto is finally back with a new series, called Boruto: Two blue whirlwindsand the first chapter is fulfilling the wishes of many fans by attracting attention Uchiha Saradawho is showing that her many similarities to Naruto make her his true successor, as the protagonist and future Hokage.
Chapter #1 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex opens three years in the future with an angry Sarada trying to convince the Eighth Hokage Shikamaru Nara that Boruto is not, in fact, a traitor to Konoha. While Sarada’s efforts are ultimately futile, because Eida’s omnipotent power prevents everyone (except Sarada and Sumire) from seeing the truth, her attitude towards Shikamaru proves that Sarada is really following in Naruto’s footsteps, in many ways.
Sarada will succeed Naruto not only as Hokage, but also as protagonist
The dialogue reveals that Sarada is still a Genin, the lowest rank in the shinobi hierarchy, much like Naruto, who despite his incredible strength was prevented by various circumstances from ascending to the top. to a higher rank of Chunin. It’s still unclear why a talented kunoichi like Sarada wasn’t promoted during the three years of the time-skip, but it’s likely related to her resolute defense of Boruto, who was considered a traitor by the entire village. multiple. As Sarada proudly states, her ideal type is still the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.
More importantly, Sarada reminds Shikamaru that her father was once considered a traitor (and Sasuke was actually a traitor, after helping Boruto escape), but Naruto never gave up on him and eventually bring him back to Konoha. Sarada tries to emulate the attitude of someone who never gives up on her friends, and she didn’t give up on her dream of becoming Hokage, even if she had to do it while she was still a Genin. , as Naruto did. This scene really succeeded in making Sarada stand out, as requested by many fans for a long time. Now she’s a mature and proud kunoichi who doesn’t waver with her beliefs, no matter the circumstances, and this makes her more like Naruto than ever. Naruto’s “nindo style” is to never run away and not hold back on his words, which has forged his character into a beacon of hope and determination that others cannot. don’t feel attracted.
Sarada’s determination makes her the true successor of Naruto
Sarada is showing the same level of faith and determination, going against what literally everyone else considers true and real, to save her best friend Boruto. This, and the fact that she’s still a Genin, is making Sarada extremely Naruto-like, and making her a good candidate for the title role in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. After all, Boruto and Sarada’s relationship is the opposite of their father’s from the start, with Sarada wanting to be Hokage and Boruto wanting to be her “shadow”. It remains to be seen if Sarada will actually follow in Naruto’s footsteps not only by becoming Hokage, but also the actual protagonist of Boruto: Two blue whirlwinds.
