Quick Links
Boruto: Two Blue Vortexcontinues to excite fans with its compelling story revolving around Boruto and his complex situation. As thethreat of the Human God Treesbecomes more serious, the series unexpectedly delves into the growing love triangle involving Sarada, Boruto, and Sumire. Fans are already picking sides, but Sarada stands out as the more natural match for Boruto for many reasons.
While Boruto remains unaware of Sarada and Sumire’s feelings, as he is laser-focused on accomplishing his more urgent goals, fans can’t help but speculate about who might be his endgame. Will it be Sarada or Sumire? Of course, it’s too early to tell for now, but with the release ofBoruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 21, many are convinced that Sarada and Boruto will likely hit it off in the end.
Sarada and Boruto Are Deeply Intertwined
Their Relationship Holds Deeper Emotional Significance
From the beginning, Sarada held the upper hand among the other female characters connected to Boruto in the series. As his childhood friend, she knows and understands a lot about him, including his frustrations with life in general, his ambition togrow stronger and surpass Naruto, and his utmost desire to protect those he cares about. In addition, Sarada not only understands Boruto but also challenges him to grow, pushing him to mature both as a ninja and as a responsible individual.
Since they became comrades,Sarada and Boruto have always supported each otherthrough countless life-or-death situations. Although they have different ideologies and methods for handling missions and delivering results, they always strive to find a common ground under pressure. In contrast to Sumire, who often fades into the background and shares a simpler, less confrontational relationship with Boruto, Sarada has consistently been there for him as a friend, an ally, and a rival.
“Does that bother you, Sarada? That other girls might like Boruto? Well, it certainly bothers me!"—Sumire Kakei
Sumire may have been vocal about her feelings for Boruto to several people, including Sarada and Eida, but that doesn’t make her the ideal candidate to win his heart. While she has thekindness and charm that remind fans of Hinata, it’s clear that Sarada offers something deeper and more meaningful. Sarada may have been slow to accept her feelings, treating them as a weakness and a hindrance to her dreams, but her connection with Boruto has had more time to develop naturally through shared experiences, teamwork, trauma, and the pressures they’ve faced together.
Sarada and Boruto’s Paths Are More Aligned
They Have a Shared Destiny
Sarada has always dreamed of becoming a Hokage, determined to follow in the footsteps of Naruto Uzumaki rather than go down the same path as her father. It has been her goal since day one, not letting anyone, including Boruto, take it away from her. On the contrary, Boruto has rejected the Hokage title, preferring to walk the same path as his master, Sasuke Uchiha, at all costs.
While Sarada and Boruto have different ambitions, their futures are still aligned. If Sarada becomes Hokage one day, Boruto will undoubtedly live up to his promise of supporting her, just asSasuke supports Naruto from the shadows. This easily makes them a natural pairing, not just politically, but possibly romantically as well.
“I didn’t want to acknowledge it. I was scared to admit how powerless I am, so I looked away from the me who felt unsettled by class rep’s feelings and from my own feelings towards Boruto. I rejected them all as weaknesses, not realizing that I was also rejecting the power hiding inside me.”
- Sarada
Moreover, a possibleunification between Boruto and Saradacould open more intriguing possibilities that could expand the lore, especially given the long-standing fan curiosity about an Uzumaki-Uchiha pairing. As two of the most powerful clans in the series, their union could produce incredibly strong descendants fans have never seen before. With the manga seemingly laying the groundwork for their eventual romance this early, many fans are already speculating that Boruto and Sarada may end up together in the future.
Clearly, Sarada stands out as the better love interest for Boruto compared to Sumire, which even the other characters in theBorutomanga have also acknowledged. Indeed, Boruto and Sarada’s relationship has the strong possibility of evolving into a full-blown romance, just as their parents eventually found their partners in the end. However, with the looming threat of the Human God Trees and the Otsutsuki still unresolved, fans will have to wait for more developments in future chapter releases to witness how their relationship unfolds.
