Naruto Uzumaki’s Successor Is Officially Confirmed, And It’s An Even Stronger Ninja

This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Naruto Uzumaki is a hugely popular and influential character, not just within the *Naruto* series, but worldwide. He’s inspired countless fans and played a major role in the series’ success. In fact, the continuation of the story in *Boruto* wouldn’t exist without the foundation Naruto built through his adventures. However, Naruto’s story has now concluded, and it’s time for a new generation to take over.

The *Boruto* series has followed a similar path, though it hasn’t always been perfect. Many fans miss Naruto Uzumaki, who isn’t currently part of the story, but the author has introduced a strong new character to take his place: Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke, Naruto’s rival and friend. Sarada is a captivating character who aspires to follow in Naruto’s footsteps and become a caring leader of Konoha. She understands that achieving this requires immense strength, and she’s currently developing the power she’ll need.

Sarada Uchiha Is The Official Successor Of Naruto Uzumaki

Sarada Will Become The Hokage One Day

  • Sarada wants to be like the Seventh Hokage
  • She has incredible power already

It’s no surprise to fans that Sarada Uchiha is being positioned as the next generation’s Naruto Uzumaki. Sarada clearly aims to become Hokage, sharing Naruto’s ambition, though their motivations differ. Naruto wanted to prove himself and gain the respect he was denied, while Sarada aspires to be Hokage as a way to emulate Naruto and carry on his legacy.

It’s okay to use that power of yours to protect things you love. — Yodo to Sarada Uchiha

Sarada has what it takes to become Hokage, but she needs two key qualities: a strong dedication to protecting others, known as the Will of Fire, and incredible strength. Luckily, she already embodies the Will of Fire. Unlike most Uchiha, she hasn’t fallen victim to the cycle of hatred, and uniquely, she unlocked her powerful Mangekyo Sharingan through love, not tragedy.

Sarada Uchiha is incredibly powerful, even now. She easily defeated Ryu, a creature of immense strength, using her Mangekyo Sharingan, and could likely handle the other similar beings as well. While she’s still developing, Sarada is already a strong contender for Hokage, perhaps more so than anyone else.

You were just about to make a move, weren’t you? It won’t matter if I stop you before you can. — Damon to Sarada Uchiha

Sarada Uchiha Is Stronger Than Naruto Uzumaki Right Now

Naruto Has Been Severely Nerfed

It’s becoming clear that Sarada Uchiha has surpassed Naruto Uzumaki in strength. While some fans might disagree, Naruto has significantly weakened in the Boruto series, especially after losing the power of Kurama. He’s even struggled against opponents like Code, who was then easily defeated by Ryu. Sarada, in turn, defeated Ryu with a single blow. This demonstrates that Sarada is currently more powerful than Naruto and is quickly establishing herself as his most promising successor.

The next chapter of *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*, chapter 27, will be released on October 19, 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.
