Masashi Kishimoto Naruto the franchise officially began on September 21, 1999, and has since established itself as one of the biggest anime and manga franchises of all time, rivaling even such One piece in many ways. Even though Naruto's story is phenomenal and immortalized over the decades, it still has a few choice flaws. This means that the Naruto franchise is currently expanding through its series of sequels, namely Boruto: Two Blue Vortexeswhich does everything to correct the deficiencies.
One of the glaring problems with the original Naruto series was a manipulation of its female characters. Over Borutothe writers do everything they can to fix this problem by making Sarada Uchiha, its main character, one of the most compelling characters in the entire series. Sarada has already received quite a lot of attention from authors in Boruto: Two Blue Vortexesand now he's officially at the helm of a brand new arc, the building blocks of which were set last issue Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 35 on June 18, 2026. With the immense elaboration of this character by the creators, Boruto finally gives Naruto franchise with its best female character to date.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has officially made Sarada Uchiha the ultimate naruto heroine
Masashi Kishimoto Naruto series features a lot of incredible characters he's written over the years, but when it comes to female characters, there are only a handful that compare to their male counterparts. Even within the main team of 7 who were the protagonists of the series, the difference in character writing between Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura is quite huge. Masashi Kishimoto always preferred Naruto and Sasuke, while Sakura was abandoned on many occasions. This is something that Mikio Ikemoto fixed in the Boruto series.
While Boruto and Kawaki get their fair share of attention Boruto Sarada focuses on the same and is always central to major plot points. If anything, in Boruto: Two Blue VortexesSarada Uchiha was more focused than Kawaki and so was the protagonist Boruto Uzumaki himself. In the last two arcs, Sarada Uchiha was central to the vast majority of the story's events, and in the new arc that officially began in Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 34 inches V-jump Issue #7 dated May 20, 2026, Sarada Uchiha is once again the central character.
Boruto: Sarada, I want you to let them capture you. It will probably take you right to their base. But don't worry, I'll fly straight to you using those symbols I just gave you.
Sarada: I see, reverse trap.
— Boruto and Sarada plan to attack Jura and Hidari, Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter #35
Latest edition Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 35 on June 18, 2026 confirmed that Sarada will be deeply involved in the arc focusing on Hidari and Jura, as she intends to have Code kidnap her so that Boruto can launch a powerful offensive from within.
12 years after Obito and Madara, Boruto introduced a new duo of top villains
Obito and Madara were the iconic villains in Naruto and now Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has created the duo of Jura and Hidari to replace them.
The new Boruto Arc makes Sarada Uchiha a star again
Sarada Uchiha has gotten quite a bit of attention in the new series so far, starting with the Land of Wind arc. There she fought Shinju Ryu and properly awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan, using Ohirome's ability to absolutely decimate Shinju in the process. Since then, Sarada has become the focal point of many exciting plots, and in the Mamushi arc she was back at the center of the action, fighting one clone after another and decimating them with her Mangekyo Sharingan powers.
“It's a risky plan so anything can happen. One more thing to remember Sarada, never lose hope. No matter what happens.” — Boruto Uzumaki mentions a dark story for Sarada, Two Blue Vortexes, Chapter #35
Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes also created a plot around Saradin's Mangekyo Sharingan impairing her eyesight as she is now officially blind and needs a cure for it. This sets up a new arc in which her resolve will be tested again when she lets Code kidnap her and take her to Shinju's hideout. Boruto's new arc will focus on Hidari, a clone of Sasuke, Sarada's father. As such, this arc will have a huge meaning for her, as well as Boruto Uzumaki. The two will be working together and we absolutely cannot wait to see her in the spotlight again. By fighting people like Hidari, Sarada intends to save her father while somehow alleviating the blindness that comes with using her Mangekyo Sharingan.
This level of importance was never given to Sakura Haruno in the original Naruto series, nor was it given to any other female character in Naruto. That's not to say that Naruto's female characters were all poorly written, but they were never handled as well as Sarada in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. We can only hope that this treatment of Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto continues in the upcoming chapters.

Sarada Uchiha is already set to succeed Naruto Uzumaki as Hokage of Konoha
While Sarada Uchiha is already getting a lot of attention from the creators Boruto series, we already know she's destined for great things based on her goal of becoming the next Hokage and succeeding Naruto Uzumaki. At some point in the future, Sarada will become the Hokage of Konoha, and in the process become the first Uchiha to claim the position. Sarada already carries the legacy of Sasuke Uchiha and her uncle Itachi Uchiha. In that sense, she is of immense importance as a character, and as such will be given even more attention as the story progresses.
“I've made up my mind. I want to follow in the footsteps of the Seventh Hokage and become Hokage of the village.” — Sarada Uchiha announces her dream, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #11
Succeeding as the Seventh Hokage is definitely not an easy task for anyone, but if any character is capable, it is none other than Sarada Uchiha. We absolutely cannot wait for her to reach this position and show the ninja world how strong she really is. Until then, Sarada must slowly evolve, just like Boruto Uzumaki, Kawaki, and Himawari Uzumaki, under the guidance of strong and experienced ninjas like Sakura, Sasuke, and of course the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.
