Why Kakashi’s Return in Boruto Could Change Everything

The following article contains spoilers for Naruto and Boruto.

Summary

  • Kakashi’s absence in the Boruto series is leaving fans questioning his role and impact.
  • Fans speculate that Kakashi could return to train Sarada and help her master her abilities.
  • Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 23 releases on June 19, 2025 & won’t feature Kakashi prominently.

It appears that “Boruto Two Blue Vortex” is doing a commendable job in carrying on the tradition of the original “Naruto”. Although it faces criticism, “Boruto” has demonstrated itself as an appropriate successor, imaginatively broadening the scope of the series’ world.

Despite the fact that numerous fans find it puzzling as to why several notable characters from “Naruto” haven’t been given more focus, it’s not hard to see why the authors might want to emphasize the new generation. However, there are many characters like Kakashi Hatake who have significant potential to make a larger impact on the series.

Where Is Kakashi in Boruto TBV?

Despite playing a supporting role in Naruto, Kakashi captivated viewers and garnered numerous fans. Not only was he an exceptional mentor to the principal characters, but his personal history was nothing short of remarkable. Moreover, when Kakashi ascended to the position of Hokage in Naruto Shippuden, and other significant events involving him unfolded, many fans were thrilled.

In the anime series “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” Kakashi Hatake is still among the living, despite not being a regular character. Occasionally, he makes an appearance, but his infrequent presence leaves some viewers puzzled given his significant shinobi status. The mystery deepens as Kakashi has yet to show up in “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” causing fans to question if we’ll see him again in the storyline.

Could Kakashi Return in Boruto?

After the conclusion of Naruto, Kakashi has taken on a mentor role, despite remaining one of the top ninjas. Fans have grown concerned because he hasn’t been seen in Boruto: Next Generations yet. Although Kakashi might not wish to engage in politics, numerous dangers have arisen for Konoha that could benefit from his expertise. It seems unusual that a new Hokage was selected when Naruto has been missing for two years. Under these conditions, wouldn’t it make sense to appoint a new Kage or at least reinstall Tsunade or Kakashi in their positions? Some fans speculate that Shikamaru temporarily assuming the role of Hokage could be part of Eida’s omnipotence, but it appears somewhat out of context.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but notice an intriguing detail: It seems like Kakashi might have somehow sensed something amiss, despite no apparent immunity to Omnipotence. Given that we haven’t seen him yet, there could be another plausible explanation waiting in the wings, one that might get unveiled further down the line. For now, all we can confirm is that Kakashi should still be among us, right here in Konoha.

Kakashi Should Return And Train Sarada

Lately, Sarada Uchiha has revitalized her Mangekyo Sharingan and introduced an extraordinary jutsu named Ohirume. Despite not recalling its previous awakening, Sarada demonstrates a remarkable understanding of its capabilities. However, there is still potential for refining her techniques. Given Kakashi’s exceptional tutoring skills, guiding Sarada to enhance her Mangekyo Sharingan could provide an excellent opportunity to reintroduce him into the narrative.

In the end, the next generation always ends up surpassing the old generation.

It’s quite plausible that Sarada may have received additional Sharingan training from Kakashi during the timeskip. Since we’re not privy to Sarada’s activities during that period, it leaves room for speculation. Given Kakashi’s extensive knowledge of the Sharingan and his continued influence, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had already taken her under his wing. Plus, with Sarada aspiring to become Hokage, training with someone who was once a Kage would be beneficial, even if an arc featuring her training with Naruto is yet to unfold, as such events might take time.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 23 Release Date

The manga titled “Boruto Two Blue Vortex” releases a new installment each month. The upcoming chapter, labeled as “Boruto TBV Chapter 23,” is scheduled for release on June 19, 2025. This manga will be accessible in English and Spanish through MANGA Plus. It’s worth noting that Kakashi might not feature in the next chapter, since the storyline currently focuses on a fierce clash between Boruto Uzumaki and Jura.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
