by

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

Anyone familiar with the Naruto series knows that Naruto and Sasuke are one of the most iconic duos in anime and manga. Their bond is incredibly rare within the Naruto and Boruto universes, and their accomplishments together are unmatched. They famously saved the world during the Fourth Great Ninja War, and they’ve continued to protect it from major dangers in Boruto as well.

With Naruto and Sasuke no longer able to defend the world – Naruto lost the power of Kurama and was sealed away, and Sasuke was transformed into a tree, his DNA used to create the Shinju Hidari – a new generation has stepped up in the Boruto series. Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki have become this new duo. Despite their disagreements, they work exceptionally well together and are poised to continue protecting the world, just as Naruto and Sasuke once did.

At the beginning of the Boruto series, it was obvious that the creator, Kishimoto, intended for Naruto and Sasuke to continue protecting the world. Naruto served as the Hokage, leading the village, and Sasuke worked behind the scenes, safeguarding everyone from major dangers like the Otsutsuki clan. Together, they formed a powerful defense against these threats.

Throughout the Boruto series, Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to battle powerful enemies like Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and Jigen. They even fought together against Isshiki. However, things have changed, and a new chapter has begun.

Boruto and Kawaki are now the main protectors, taking on the responsibility of keeping everyone safe. Despite their disagreements, they’ve learned to cooperate when facing a threat. They recently teamed up to defeat Jura, and worked very effectively together to drive the monster back.

Fans Can’t Wait To See More of Them

The Boruto series is heading towards a team-up between these two characters again. With the danger of Jura still present, fans expect them to join forces to defeat him. They’ll likely need to work together to overcome any future threats, like Akebi, or even another member of the Otsutsuki clan, to truly safeguard the world.

Sasuke told Naruto that even as times change, the heart of a ninja remains constant.

It’s clear that the creators, Kishimoto and Ikemoto, are showing us that Naruto and Sasuke’s time as the main characters is ending, and it’s now Boruto and Kawaki’s turn to take the lead. Considering their complex relationship – both as rivals and friends – Boruto and Kawaki are the perfect pair to fill those roles, and the story makes that very obvious.

Everyone is eager to see Boruto and Kawaki follow in the footsteps of Naruto and Sasuke, though it’s a difficult challenge. Fans hope they keep delivering strong performances going forward.

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