It’s Time To Welcome The Next Naruto Uzumaki In Boruto

by

This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Naruto Uzumaki is undoubtedly the most recognizable ninja from the Naruto series. He’s an exceptionally skilled warrior who overcame a difficult childhood and widespread rejection to become one of the strongest shinobi ever. Naruto truly embodies the power of hard work and perseverance. More than just his strength, though, he’s known for his kind heart and unwavering dedication to his values, known as the Will of Fire. As the Seventh Hokage, Naruto wasn’t only the most powerful leader of his time, but he also brought all the ninja villages together, creating a more peaceful world.

With Naruto Uzumaki no longer present, the world needs a new hero. Fortunately, Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the series, has already chosen his successor in Boruto: Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Naruto’s close friend and rival. Like Naruto, Sarada dreams of becoming Hokage and deeply admires him. She’s inspired not just by Naruto’s strength, but by his compassion and determination – qualities that make her the next generation’s Naruto in Boruto.

Sarada Wants to Be The Hokage

  • Sarada wants to be a Shinobi like Naruto
  • Boruto wants to be more like Sasuke

Among the many talented young ninja, Sarada Uchiha is unique in her genuine concern for everyone in the village and her dedication to the ninja code. While others like Boruto Uzumaki work quietly to protect the village, and Kawaki has proven himself unworthy, Sarada is the ideal successor to Naruto as Hokage.

Sarada Uchiha has incredible potential and could become one of the strongest ninjas ever, largely due to her powerful Mangekyo Sharingan. She still has hidden abilities yet to be revealed, which makes her truly unique. While she’s destined to become even stronger, what truly sets her apart – and makes her a potential successor to Naruto – isn’t just her strength. Like Naruto, Sarada deeply cares about protecting everyone in the village and sees them as her family. She’s a natural leader, demonstrated by Kishimoto choosing her to lead Team 7 during the fight against Boro. If anyone deserves to follow in Naruto’s footsteps, it’s Sarada.

Sarada Will Accomplish Greatness In The Future

The Best Of Sarada Has Yet To Come

I’ve been watching Sarada Uchiha, and while she definitely has the spirit to be a great ninja, she’s still got a long way to go. It reminds me a lot of Naruto – she’ll need to grow stronger and forge her own unique path. Eventually, she’ll use that power to protect others, and honestly, given how much potential she has and how determined she is to follow in Naruto’s footsteps, I have no doubt she’ll succeed.

Sarada is still young and has plenty of room to develop her abilities, especially her Mangekyo Sharingan. She might even unlock the Rinnegan someday. But more importantly, Sarada’s kindness and her ability to overcome the Uchiha clan’s history of hatred show she’s the most deserving candidate to eventually become Konoha’s leader, following in Naruto Uzumaki’s footsteps.

The next chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 28, will be available on November 20, 2025. It will be released at 10 AM Eastern Time / 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Fans can read it for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps as usual.
