Boruto: Why Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan Is The Most Unique, Explained

As a long-time follower of Naruto and now Boruto, I have to say that Sarada Uchiha is shaping up to be an extraordinary character. Her journey so far has been nothing short of impressive, and her potential growth is truly exciting. The combination of Medical Ninjutsu with the Byakugou could make her eyes uniquely powerful, allowing her to overuse the Mangekyo Sharingan without any repercussions.


This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

Key Takeaways

  • Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan awakens, granting unique powers. Exciting developments are expected in her character.
  • Sarada possesses Medical Ninjutsu, enhancing her Sharingan abilities. Potential for great strength and unique eye powers.
  • Sarada’s growth may not require Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. She could achieve incredible strength without eye transplants.

The action-packed sequel, “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” has been picking up speed since the series took a three-year break. Upon their return, fans were thrilled to see how much Boruto and his fellow young ninjas have grown in power, skill, and character development over these years.

Readers were quickly introduced to the main focus within a few initial chapters of the “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” manga, with Boruto Uzumaki, the central character, taking center stage. To date, it’s been Boruto who has engaged in the most action-packed scenes, and characters like Mitsuki and Kawaki have also been given significant spotlight. Unfortunately, Sarada Uchiha seems to be sidelined for now, but fans eagerly anticipate her return to prominence, particularly since it’s been revealed that she has activated the Mangekyo Sharingan and possesses a unique ability with this eye that surpasses any other character in the series.

In the final stages of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga, Sarada Uchiha activated her Mangekyo Sharingan. This occurred when news of Naruto Uzumaki’s supposed death reached her, stirring something deep within her. The intense emotions she experienced upon learning about both Boruto’s impending demise and Naruto’s death caused her Mangekyo Sharingan to emerge for the first time. Only Sasuke Uchiha was present to witness this event, which ultimately prompted him to support Boruto Uzumaki. Interestingly, Sarada herself remained unaware of her newfound ability, making it all the more intriguing when she later discovered what she could truly accomplish with the Mangekyo Sharingan. However, following this encounter with her father, Sarada rarely used the eye again, perhaps due to her lack of knowledge regarding its existence and potential.

After a three-year time jump post the Omnipotence storyline, there’s speculation among fans about whether Sarada Uchiha is still unaware of the power she possesses or if she has come to understand and hone it. Eventually, it’s clear that Sarada must unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan and employ it in combat against her adversaries. This becomes increasingly crucial if Sarada aspires to be Hokage. At present, Sarada is significantly weaker compared to other characters like Mitsuki and even Himawari within the Boruto series. Most importantly, the creators should invest more attention into developing her character.

Why Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan Powers Will Be Unique

  • Unique Sun-Shaped Mangekyo Sharingan
  • Unknown Power At The Moment

Sarada Uchiha has already activated her Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, whether she’s consciously aware of it or not. At some point in the future, she will use these abilities again, and spectators will witness a grand display of their power. Interestingly, eyes like Sarada’s, particularly among family members, can share similar abilities despite Mangekyo Sharingan typically manifesting distinct powers. For example, Obito Uchiha had the ability of Kamui, Itachi had Tsukuyomi in one eye and Amaterasu in the other, while Sasuke had Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi. Each Uchiha possesses a unique ability granted by their eye. In Sarada’s case, she will inherit two distinct powers of her own.

Regarding the specific abilities she possesses, fans are yet to find out. Given her eyes’ distinctive sun-like shape, it’s plausible that her Mangekyo Sharingan powers could involve Fire Release, perhaps even a form of Amaterasu. Additionally, there’s a strong possibility that she has Genjutsu skills, similar to her uncle, which would undoubtedly excite fans if they get to see it in action.

When it comes to what sets Sarada’s eye powers apart, fans are aware that Sarada is proficient in Medical Ninjutsu. So far, this specific skill has been mastered effectively by only a few Sharingan users. Madara was one such user who could utilize Medical Ninjutsu, which proved beneficial in combat. However, his expertise in Medical Ninjutsu didn’t reach the point where he could heal injuries caused by his own eyes. Sarada, on the other hand, has already grasped the fundamentals of Medical Ninjutsu. If she eventually develops the Byakugou and combines it with her Sharingan, she has the potential to become an exceptionally powerful user of both these eye powers.

In simpler terms, Sarada’s eyes might have a tendency to strain too much, but unlike others who might lose their sight permanently, Sarada seems capable of healing any harm inflicted upon them. Given the powers she might acquire, her eyes could become quite extraordinary.

Sarada Wouldn’t Necessarily Need The Mangekyo Sharingan

1. Regardless if Sarada Uchiha acquires a pair of eyes for eternal ones or not, she possesses the potential to significantly increase her strength and unlock advanced Sharingan abilities. The writer has two options for this development. Firstly, Sarada could learn Medical Ninjutsu and fully exploit the power of Byakugou, thereby nullifying any adverse effects associated with the Mangekyo Sharingan. Any harm inflicted on her while using it can be mitigated through sealing, making her essentially immune to damage. Additionally, she could repeatedly use the powers of the Mangekyo Sharingan without fear of consequences. In essence, Sarada would become extremely powerful and delve into advanced Mangekyo Sharingan techniques. Furthermore, provided that her eyes do not cause her pain and she can easily manifest this power, Sarada could summon a Full Body Susanoo.

The Mangekyo Sharingan from eternity isn’t crucial for summoning a Full Body Susanoo, as demonstrated by Kakashi during the war. This implies that Sarada won’t necessarily require an eye transplant to boost her power levels.

An intriguing possibility for the author to explore in this storyline could involve Sarada defeating Hidari and obtaining his eyes instead. Contrary to popular belief, Hidari is not the possessor of the Sharingan; he actually has the Rinnegan, as revealed in recent chapters. However, it’s hinted that Hidaru was intrigued by the Sharingan after his failed attempt to use Chidori effectively. Since the 10 Tails, from which Hidari was born, has a Sharingan, there’s speculation that a genetic mutation upon rebirth could enable Hidari to manifest a Sharingan of his own. If this were true, Sarada could acquire Hidari’s eyes after defeating him, thus eliminating the need for Sasuke to donate his own eyes to her.

Regardless of the path taken, spectators can be confident that Sarada Uchiha will make remarkable strides in the Boruto series and ultimately become one of the most powerful shinobis ever, a candidate truly fit to take on the title of Hokage.

You can find the manga series ‘Boruto’ through Viz Media. Fans can read it officially and for free on apps like Shonen Jump and Manga Plus. Mark your calendars! The next chapter of Boruto, titled ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14’, is due out on September 20, 2024.
