Summary

  • Sarada has been portrayed as a power player in Boruto but has been consistently sidelined.
  • Fan art by @BrentonsArt depicts Sarada in a more mature and serious role, facing off against powerful adversaries.
  • The fan art suggests that Sarada has the potential to be a major player in the story, capable of taking on foes with confidence and skill.

From its first chapter, the Sarada the story deserves.

In an awesome piece of fan art posted to X, by @BrentonsArt, Sarada is depicted as the kunoichi most fans expected her to become when she first appeared in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The artwork, which is composed of two separate images, showcases an older, more mature, and serious Sarada facing off against former and future adversaries.

In the first image, @BrentonsArt depicts Sarada using one of her father's signature techniques, lightning release, while Sakura stands worried in the background. In the second image, the artist updates the saga to its current storyline with Sarada ready to take on Hidari - one of the four self-aware manifestations of the Divine Tree that debuted in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Hidari is a clone of Sasuke, who is currently in a state of half-death, and the story teases this fateful confrontation will happen soon.

Fan Art Confirms Sarada Is The Invisible Star of Boruto

In both cases, @BrentonsArt envisions the young Uchiha facing off against two of the story's most powerful foes - all by herself. If a casual reading of the manga is not enough to point out how Sarada has been tipped to do great things in the story, then the number of volumes and chapter covers, as well as the color pages she's been on should. Indeed, except for Boruto, no one has appeared more predominantly as a "poster child" for the series than Sarada.

Unfortunately, one of the most recent the character design of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Luckily, @BrentonsArt's pieces depict Sarada as a powerful kunoichi, while keeping the references to Sasuke's style that are present in the manga.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is created by Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto

Sarada Has Massive Potential, If Given A Deeper Role

Unfortunately, Sarada remains a ing character in Boruto. @BrentonsArt delivers on the promise Kishimoto continues to make on Sarada's greatness - but as yet has failed to deliver. The pieces of fan art forcefully suggest that Sarada is fully capable of taking on major foes with the same confidence, skill, and courage that Boruto exhibits when in similar situations.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is available from Viz Media and MANGA Plus.
