Boruto & Sarada’s Power Couple Clash: A Dark Future Looms

by

As the “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” manga progresses, viewers are now seeing Uchiha Sarada demonstrate the power of her clan. Up until the “Boruto” period, she had mostly been in the background. However, following the time jump, she’s stepping into the spotlight.

In the barren landscape of Sunagakure, a pivotal storyline unfolds in “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” Chapter 21, where Sarada’s actions might lead to significant consequences. Regrettably, these events seem to center around a conflict that Sarada and Boruto may face. While many Naruto and Boruto enthusiasts anticipate them becoming a power couple, their contrasting beliefs could pose challenges for their relationship at a critical juncture in history.

Sarada Embraces Her Mangekyo Sharingan to Kill Ryu

In this instance, Sarada demonstrates an impressive display of her abilities in Chapter 21. By accessing her Dōjutsu, she unveils the Ohirume – a unique power that manipulates Ryu’s gravitational field. Utilizing dark orbs, she absorbs his assaults and subsequently destroys him with a disintegrating sphere. This moment stands as her most powerful demonstration yet.

Sarada’s fear has been a constant companion throughout her life, causing her to suppress her strength. However, recent events such as the loss of Sasuke, Eida manipulating reality, and Boruto being branded a fugitive have pushed her to her limit. It’s clear that Boruto is a significant factor in Sarada’s actions now. Faced with the realization that if she doesn’t eliminate Ryu and evolve to do so, Boruto and everyone else will perish, she openly acknowledges her feelings for him.

It’s intriguing to observe how Sarada has developed feelings towards love and soulmates in the anime series Boruto. Previously, it appeared that their relationship would remain platonic. However, during the time apart while Boruto was on his Hidden Leaf missions, Sarada seems to have grown fond of him. Similarly, Boruto has also missed her, recalling how Naruto once felt for Sakura and later Hinata. Yet, Saruda’s words to Ryu before he dies suggest there might be complications ahead.

In a manner reminiscent of someone under powerful influence, Sarada appears intensely driven. Fervent enthusiasts of the Naruto series would recognize the Uchiha eyes hold a corrupting force. Numerous members of this clan were consumed by bloodlust and sought to establish order through twisted means, similar to Anakin Skywalker embracing the Dark Side to transform into Darth Vader in Star Wars. Characters like Madara, Obito, and Sasuke serve as notable examples. It’s possible that, with aspirations of becoming Hokage, Sarada may believe a firm hand is necessary for healing this world.

Boruto Won’t Like Sarada Giving Into the Darkness

Sarada’s Ohirume Technique Indicates She Could Become a Sinister Uchiha

In the past, Naruto struggled tirelessly to make amends for Sasuke. There were numerous brutal confrontations along the way, but ultimately, Sasuke made restitution by surrendering his power after he attempted to misuse the Tailed Beasts in a sinister plot. Later on, Sasuke confessed to Sarada what he had done: he had twisted feelings of guilt, sorrow, and pain from their shared past into something destructive. The unique markings in their family’s eyes are a result of this psychological trauma, but they don’t have to continue that pattern.

In essence, Sarada initially aspired to be an unselfish, benevolent ruler of Konoha, but her ambitions now appear to revolve around amassing power. This shift seems to have eroded her innocent, optimistic, trusting nature. If she were to kill Ryu, it might lead her down a dangerous path of craving more power, similar to Madara’s tribe in the past. The Uchiha were often mistrusted by figures like Senju Tobirama (Second Hokage) and Sarutobi Hiruzen (Third Hokage), as they sought to harness their power for military purposes, favoring oppression, fascism, and controlling people’s free will over peace and harmony.

The Uchihas saw physical and mental oppression as a part of their destiny, which is why Itachi eliminated them, causing Sasuke to resent him for some time. Given that Sarada understands this history, Boruto might disapprove when he learns she’s considering such harsh tactics. They must avoid repeating past errors. However, Shikamaru, now the Hokage, may persuade her to use her power more, potentially leading her down a darker path. One can question whether she will lose her humanity, kindness, and empathy along the way.

The essence embodied by Akatsuki and the Ōtsutsuki aliens, including Isshiki and Kara, is what one might call their defining characteristic. Kawaki too shares this trait, desiring to utilize his Ōtsutsuki DNA to dominate the realm. If Sarada were to succumb to this mindset, Boruto would feel that all their lessons – both in and out of battle – taught by Konohamaru, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto would be for naught. She’d effectively disregard the valuable teachings they imparted.

In essence, while Boruto may kill enemies without a god complex or enjoying it, his actions are quick and straightforward. On the other hand, Sarada exhibits arrogance and narcissism when she torments Ryu, taking pleasure in his suffering. This behavior reminds us of Madara’s cruel energy from the past, suggesting a desire for power through force, fear, and intimidation. Here’s hoping this is just a brief phase and Sarada won’t become a truly ruthless warrior. When Boruto witnesses Sarada acting this way, driven by rage rather than love, their beliefs will clash, leading to conflict.

Boruto & Sarada’s Problems Could Become Even More Dramatic

Mitsuki, Sumire, Kashin Koji & Shikamaru Will Chime in on Sarada’s Power Moves

If Boruto and Sarada find themselves at odds, as suggested by the manga, they won’t have the luxury of resolving their differences in a confined space. Figures like Kakashi and Lady Tsunade may intervene, following Shikamaru’s lead. The destruction of Jura and the God Trees is one matter, but Code and Claw Grime are also adversaries to be reckoned with. Moreover, the opening flash-forward of the series hints that Kawaki will wreak havoc on Konoha. With Sarada prepared for war, it might prove challenging for Boruto to alter her strategy.

On a personal note, Boruto and Sarada are involved in a romantic situation that includes four people. Mitsuki has feelings for Boruto, and Boruto is aware of this, using it to help him break free from Eida’s control. Sumire, too, is unaffected by Eida’s mind-control. However, she feels jealous because Boruto and Sarada have a deep bond that she admires. Unfortunately for Sumire, Boruto doesn’t return her affection, making her feelings unrequited. These two characters may play crucial roles in the events to come.

Some readers believe that if Sarada adopts a grim demeanor, Mitsuki and Sumire might manipulate Boruto, making him turn against Sarada, which could give the manga an overly dramatic or soap opera-like tone. However, underhanded tactics are common in the Naruto universe. If they genuinely believe Sarada is turning into a menace or having a negative impact on Boruto, they will intervene. It’s possible that they might use this situation to get closer to Boruto, which could be beneficial for them. Given their age and immaturity, it’s not hard to imagine them acting selfishly, being emotionally biased, and thinking their actions are right.

In essence, Sarada and Boruto must deliberate on their future paths, including the character traits Sarada will exhibit from now on. Could they form an alliance? That’s a possibility, given that Boruto possesses Kashin Koji, who can guide them. However, it remains uncertain if Koji will manipulate Sarada towards darkness. His affection for her transformation adds an extra layer of uncertainty. What is undeniable is that Sarada has finally emerged as a powerful figure. Many have long anticipated this turning point, when she would become a sort of deus ex machina. Fingers crossed it doesn’t damage their bond, but instead, strengthens and empowers them as a formidable team for the upcoming battles.
