After watching a good amount of Boruto: Next Generations, it seems that the series is trying to tell its story in a different way specifically on the paths that Sarada and Boruto take.
This will contain some spoiling details for people who haven’t went and catch up with the Boruto series so you better shy away from this article if you don’t take kindly to that kind of detail.
The things I will be talking about here are mostly centered on where the anime series is thus far and how far I know about the manga series, as well as the recent Boruto-related movies. If I miss anything, feel free to point it out in the comments below.
In the aftermath of events that occurred in the current Naruto franchise, every digemari banyak orang ship in the series has been made canon at this point such as Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto and Hinata to name a few of them. We are now at the point of the story where their children, the next generation, are now taking their marks in the Ninja World but they’re still there to witness all of that.
From the mentioned couples, what got me really interested and compelled in this new anime series is how their children, Sarada (Sasuke’s daughter) and Boruto (Naruto’s daughter) are taking opposite paths from their parents.
First, let me talk about Sarada.
At the start of the Boruto: Next Generations anime series, she has been filling the shoes of what Sakura’s role served in the base series but with the exception that she carries her father’s wits and calm demeanor. Sarada is basically the “honor student” in this series wherein she’s pretty much strict and would tie down Boruto in events where he might do something out of hand.
So far, Sarada is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters in this new cast because this blend of Sasuke’s calm and stoic personality whilst having Sakura’s role of keeping everyone in line.
I got really compelled in the recent episodes as Sarada slowly begins to ask the whereabouts of his father and the nature of his work. She got into this fragile state where she was confused and didn’t know what kind of path to take as a person. Sakura’s legibility as a mother was also questioned by her, much to Sakura’s displeasure.
