The relationship between Sasuke and his daughter Sarada is one of the most complex in the Naruto franchise. The kunoichi grew up believing that her father did not care about her, while the Uchiha patriarch had to travel the global to keep his daughter safe. Their relationship has fortunately improved as the Boruto series has progressed, yet it remains somewhat strained.
The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga series has a subtle yet significant nod to this issue, one that makes Hidari the most tragic of all Divine Trees. In chapter #17, the series proves that the creatures given life by Jura, the series’ big villain and incarnation of the Ten Tails, are controlled by their emotions. While Hidari’s has not yet been revealed, the series has hinted at it being the regret Sasuke feels for not being more present in his daughter’s life.
In chapter #17 of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, Matsuri meets at last with the human she selected as her target, Konohamaru Sarutobi. Fans expected that when this encounter occurred, the Divine Tree would enter a blind rage and attempt to kill Naruto’s pupil, like what happened when Hidari met Sarada. Yet, what ended up occurring was Matsuri being unable to move or speak, blushing profoundly as she stared at the man, strongly hinting at her having a massive crush on him. Followers of the series will know that Moegi, the human from whom Matsuri was born, also had feelings for Konohamaru.
This event suggests that the main motivator for the Divine Trees is the strongest emotion their human counterparts felt at the time of being absorbed. For Moegi, it was her love for Konohamaru, which has now been amplified in Matsuri. Mamushi, the Divine Tree born from Code’s lackey Bug, also supports this theory, as he had a strong aversion to Eida, which has manifested as him bothering her anytime it is possible. If Jura’s creations are indeed controlled by their counterparts’ strongest emotions, Hidari’s brief battle against Sarada becomes much more tragic.
