In the current arc of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations , as the Shinju absorb chakra from the planet and Kawaki descends further into fascistic paranoia, all eyes are on the girl with the glasses (now removed) and the Sharingan that glows like a dawn.
During the chaos following Naruto’s sealing and Boruto’s possession by Momoshiki, Sarada faced an impossible choice. She was forced to confront Boruto, who had transformed into the monstrous Momoshiki. In a desperate attempt to save her friend and her Hokage, Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan awakened.
While Boruto is the titular protagonist, Sarada is the soul of the new Team 7. As the series progresses through the Code Arc and into the "Two Blue Vortex" timeskip, Sarada’s rise is meteoric. This article explores her journey from a bookish child asking about the Sharingan to a revolutionary force capable of challenging gods. Unlike Naruto, who wanted to become Hokage to gain recognition, or Konohamaru, who wanted to surpass his grandfather, Sarada’s motivation is purer and more intellectual. Her dream is rooted in understanding what a Hokage is. She witnessed Naruto’s selflessness during the Fourth Great Ninja War (via her parents’ stories) and saw how the village functions as a family.
Sarada is the answer to that 20-year-old question: What if an Uchiha was raised in peace and love?
