As Sasuke Uchiha’s daughter in Boruto, it’s natural for people to assume that Sarada Uchiha would become quite the impeccable kunoichi. With Sakura Haruno’s genes running through her veins as well, Sarada isn’t just as skilled as her father but also as hardworking as her mother. This makes her the perfect leader of their generation of Team 7, with Boruto naturally becoming her confidant with his go-getter attitude.
Being a Hokage aspirant, Sarada is the polar opposite of Boruto who wants nothing to do with the position. And Sarada is slowly climbing the ranks, as not only is she proving to be the exceptional kunoichi but she’s also doing feats even Sasuke hasn’t done when they were both the same age.
While shinobi ranks are seldom held with any importance with the relative power scaling of most of Naruto’s main cast, its in-world significance for Kage hopefuls means these aspirants have to dutifully progress through the ranks of Chunin, Jonin, and even Tokubetsu Jonin before reaching power levels close to the position. In this context, Sasuke being designated Sasaukage in the Boruto masa may have been more of a formality than something actually fulfilled considering Sasuke’s history.
When he defected to Orochimaru’s side beginning in Part 2, Sasuke hadn’t ever made it past Genin rank. In contrast, Sarada has been promoted Chunin after the exams had been formally recreated after the Momoshiki Arc – making Sarada’s character formally higher of ranking compared to her father’s for a large portion of his youth.
While it’s nomer doubt that Sasuke is nomer slouch when it comes to Taijutsu and Ninjutsu in Part 1 of the OG series, Sarada is not to be underestimated either. Thanks to Sasuke’s early access and training with the Sharingan, he’s able to do surprising techniques such as copying Lee’s moves and even applying them to later fights down the line such as his match with Gaara.
In the case of Sarada, imagine the Uchiha bloodline’s enhanced chakra control with Sakura’s physical prowess. While not as potent as Sakura in terms of raw strength, Sarada was eventually trained in channeling just enough chakra to unleash powerful hits that can crater the ground and even make dents in previously-impervious areas such as Deepa’s carbon defense that techniques like Sage Mode of Mitsuki and Iron Sand of Shinki couldn’t penetrate.
