Despite the absence of Naruto and Sasuke, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex remains popular with fans. The story is engaging as the new generation of ninjas grows stronger and forges its own path. The creators, Ikemoto and Kishimoto, are clearly building these young characters to eventually take over from the older generation of shinobi. For example, Sarada Uchiha is being positioned to become the next Hokage, taking Naruto’s place, and someone is also being prepared to step into Sasuke’s role as Konoha’s hidden protector.
