In the latest chapter in the shinobi universe, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex follows Naruto’s spirited son, Boruto Uzumaki, as he discovers his own ninja path. It dishes out a fusion of action, family drama, and a touch of teenage rebellion at the hands of the young Uzumaki. With a name that pays tribute to his distinctive Rasengan move, the manga symbolizes the upheaval that Boruto is set to encounter throughout the series.

However, another character besides Boruto from the manga just took the spotlight in its latest chapter. After Shikamaru’s placement as the Eighth Hokage, this new development has come as the next big revelation in the series.

What happened after Boruto escaped with Sasuke Uchiha?

As the story resumed from where the prior series concluded, Boruto departed from the Hidden Leaf Village with Sasuke. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura’s daughter Sarada Uchiha attempted to set the record straight with Shikamaru. After breaking free from Eida’s curse, Sarada became an unlikely emerging hero in place of Baruto who was mostly absent from the chapter. 

For fans of the series who had been counting down the days for this chapter to drop, her bravery came as a refreshing start to the story. While the village deemed Boruto and her father’s departure a betrayal, Sarada stood by them. And her heroic actions may just make her a central character in the series’ upcoming chapters.

Meanwhile, the generational shift in the Naruto manga was not the only thing that captured the audience’s interest. One fan observed a rather peculiar similarity between Boruto’s journey and a recent Marvel flick.

Did Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse draw inspiration from Boruto?

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor Naruto, the Boruto anime became an instant hit. When a fan of the show set eyes on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the similarities between the two became evident. From matching visuals to similar plot points, the animation sequences seemed to have more than one co-incidence which raised questions.

Makers of the Marvel flick who were skeptical about certain aspects of the flick from the start were accused of copying Baruto. After all, the anime’s loyal fanbase is just as dedicated to finding the truth as Sarada Uchiha!

Do you think Sarada Uchiha will continue to climb the ladder in the shinobi legacy? Share your thoughts in the comments.
