Sarada first awakened this power before the timeskip, although she truly gained control over it only now. It can safely be said that Sarada Uchiha is one of the strongest characters in the whole story right now, but what she has currently isn't enough. Sarada Uchiha needs to aim even higher and gain other power-ups, and it turns out that the author has already set up her next power-up after the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Sarada Uchiha's Overpowered Mangekyo Sharingan

  • Sarada Tapped Into Her Mangekyo Sharingan In The Land Of Wind
  • Sarada Is Stronger Than Ever Before

In the Land of Wind, Sarada Uchiha finally tapped into her Mangekyo Sharingan for the first time. Although she had awakened this power before the timeskip, Sarada had no idea that this power existed in her. It was only after some self-reflection that she was able to tap into this ability, and needless to say, it was incredibly overpowered.

Sarada Uchiha used a power called Ohirume, and this technique allows her to create black spheres with immense gravity. Sarada can create multiple black spheres and control what the gravity affects. The pull of gravity is such that Sarada can easily crush someone like Ryu, known to be a powerful Hitoshinju. This is only one application of Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan and fans know that there will be many more to come in the future.

Why Sarada Needs To Work On The Drawbacks Of The Eye

Sarada's Eyes Can Cause Her Pain

While Sarada Uchiha is strong right now, it goes without saying that this power isn't enough for her to reach the top. Sarada needs to be more ambitious and aim even higher, gaining more powers in the process. The biggest reason for this is simply the drawbacks of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Sarada Uchiha is strong and her eyes make her almost invincible, but only as long as they're active, and they don't stay active for long. Sarada's biggest weakness right now is not being able to maintain her powers for long and the damage that she sustains herself after every use of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The Byakugou Would Be An Amazing Power-Up

Naturally, there is only one big solution to curing the drawbacks of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and that is gaining the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. However, Sarada cannot get that, simply because her blood relative is Sasuke and she would never take his eyes. That said, other ways exist to make her stronger, and this is where Sarada Uchiha could start training with her mother, Sakura, in the art of medical ninjutsu. If Sarada learns powers like Byakugou, she would then be able to regenerate infinitely for as long as it's active, and this would make her essentially invincible. With such power, not even the likes of Jura would be able to take her down in Boruto.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on May 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
