Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to shine, even as major characters like Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are gradually sidelined from the main plot. The series keeps fans engaged by showcasing the next generation of ninjas stepping up, establishing their own skills, and carving their place in the shinobi world. Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto are clearly building a future where the younger ninjas gradually assume the roles once held by legends like Naruto and Sasuke. Sarada Uchiha, for instance, is poised to become the future Hokage, while Sasuke’s legacy will be carried forward by his most trusted student.
Boruto Uzumaki: The Successor to Sasuke
From the start of Boruto, it was evident who would take on Sasuke Uchiha’s mantle—Boruto Uzumaki himself. Under Sasuke’s direct guidance, Boruto has trained rigorously, learning not only powerful techniques but also the core philosophy of the shinobi. This mentorship has been crucial in shaping Boruto’s path, transforming him into a protector of Konoha just like his mentor.
