Exploring the Relationship Between Sarada and Boruto

In the world of Boruto, there are constant threats that put the lives of village citizens at risk, forcing shinobis to risk their own lives to protect them. Despite Naruto’s efforts to maintain peace in the village, his success was short-lived due to the intervention of the Otsutsuki Clan, which drastically changed the landscape.

Due to the setting of the series, it is not surprising that romantic relationships are not extensively portrayed in the anime and manga. Nevertheless, towards the end of the story, the original series did delve into the romantic bond between Naruto and Hinata.

As the manga nears its conclusion, many fans are wondering about Sarada’s feelings towards Boruto. She has demonstrated her trust in him, her desire to protect him, and her deep feelings of friendship and care. Despite this, there remains a potential for romantic feelings to develop between them.

Although neither character has openly expressed their feelings in the Two Blue Vortex manga, determining whether a romance exists between the protagonist and Sarada is not as straightforward as a simple yes or no. A closer examination of the manga’s chapters may offer some clues.

Please be aware that this article contains major spoilers from the Two Blue Vortex manga chapters.

Despite the lack of explicit admission from either party, the answer to the question is not simple. It is crucial for us to examine certain hints to determine the potential romantic interest between the two shinobis. It is evident from the beginning that the protagonist and Sarada highly value each other’s presence.

Throughout their time together, their bond was unbreakable and they would do anything for each other. However, their connection was strictly platonic, as they were comrades fighting alongside each other. As the series continued, their relationship evolved and grew stronger. This is evident in Two Blue Vortex chapter 5, which highlights a pivotal moment between the two warriors.

Despite being forced to flee the village, Sarada still held deep concern for the protagonist’s safety and missed him greatly. Along with Sumire, she was one of the few unaffected by Eida’s Omnipotence. The two were separated for three long years, and during that time, Sarada’s hidden feelings for the protagonist began to surface. In chapter 5 of the Two Blue Vortex manga, Sarada can be seen running towards the protagonist and embracing him.

As he held her in his arms, the two of them shared a moment that was remarkably intimate, a rarity among other shinobis in the series. Despite the current stage of the series, there has been no explicit confirmation of any romantic feelings between them. However, this could be Masashi Kishimoto’s subtle way of hinting at a potential relationship between the two.

Is Sarada fond of Boruto? It is highly likely that she harbors romantic emotions for him in the manga series. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen whether this is true or not, as there are important matters that must be dealt with first. If the main character manages to overcome all obstacles, he may have the opportunity to express his feelings for Sarada Uchiha. As a writer, this would be a satisfying way to conclude the continuation of the series.
