Warning: SPOILERS for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter #16
Boruto: Two Blue Vortices is gearing up to see the debut of Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyo Sharingan soon, finally setting up the future Hokage to realize her potential and become everything she was meant to be. With the series beginning its second arc, it already hints at an exciting development that will shake up the fandom.
In chapter #16 of Boruto: Two Blue VorticesShikamaru and Eida talked to Kashin Koji through one of his toads. Kashin Koji tells Shikamaru to send Mitsuki, Sarada, and Konohamaru to the Land of Wind, to rescue Gaara from his predicament at the hands of the Divine Trees. Although Shikamaru was very hesitant, he ended up doing as he was told and the three met up with the Sand Ninjas Araya and Yodo. This marks the beginning of the series’ second arc, and It may finally be time for Sarada to use her Mangekyo Sharingan in battle for the first time.
The perfect scenario was set for Sarada’s awakening
Hopefully Sarada will use all of her powers soon
Sarada awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan, which resembles a sun, in chapter #79 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generationsconvincing Sasuke to save Boruto and escape with him. It hasn’t appeared since, and although there was an opportunity for her to do so in the fight against Hidari, the powerful technique has yet to appear again. Kashin Koji sent Team 7 to an incredibly dangerous location, and the group found Ryu and Matsuri, ready to devour Gaara.
The series has already established how absurdly powerful the God Trees are, so it wouldn’t make sense for Kashin Koji to have so much faith in two genin and jonin, who were much weaker than Hidari. Kashin Koji possesses the shinjutsu Prescience, which allows him to see the future, so he must know something or someone will help the three in their fight against the two God Trees. Mitsuki’s Sage Mode and Konohamaru’s new, improved arsenal are certainly powerful, but they’re not enough. THE the only other thing that could give them an advantage is Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan.
While there has been a lot of speculation and theories surrounding his Mangekyo Sharingan, there aren’t enough hints that can point fans in the direction of what his specific power could be. However, to combat his current enemies, it must be something very powerful that will give him a fighting chance. Furthermore, the Mangekyo Sharingan will also allow her to use Susanoogiving you an almost impregnable defense against these monsters. She will also receive two unique abilities from each of her eyes, further increasing her arsenal of techniques.
Sarada needs her Mangekyo for the confrontation with Hidari
The battle to free your father is coming
Although Boruto made a solemn promise to rescue Sasuke alone, it would have even greater meaning if Sarada accepted this challenge. Successfully rescuing Sasuke would not only demonstrate his strength and determination, but it would also play a crucial role in his ambition to become Hokage one day. By defeating a powerful opponent like Hidari, Sarada would showcase her capabilities and establish herself as a top contender for the position of Hokage. To accomplish this difficult task, she will need a new power that will be her trump card.
While a Mangekyo Sharingan is definitely necessary for her fight, the abilities she will obtain are more important. Historically, the Mangekyo Sharingan’s abilities reflected the user’s mental state. Obito, who was disillusioned with the world and wanted out of it, received an ability that allowed him to travel through dimensions. Sasuke, who was redirecting his hatred of Itachi towards Konoha, received Kagutsuchi, which allowed him to manipulate Ametarasu’s flames. Sarada’s current situation is harder to summarize, as she is distressed by her father’s capture and wants to help Boruto, so her ability could be anything.
Boruto: Two Blue VorticesThe second story arc has begun and it looks like Sarada and Team 7 are ready to take the stage. As Kashin Koji described, they need the minimum number of forces to take down Jura’s accomplices before focusing on him, so it’s very likely that Boruto won’t be interfering in that fight and rescuing Sarada and the others again. This gives the young Uchiha a chance to shine on her own and finally prove why she is the future Hokage and one of the series’ main cast members.
