This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Naruto Uzumaki is, by far, the most iconic ninja in the world of Naruto and that goes without saying. He's an incredibly powerful shinobi who, despite being shunned by everyone and facing tremendous hardships, eventually rose to the very top all by himself. Naruto Uzumaki is the epitome of hardwork and the ability to never give up. Above all, however, Naruto carries a golden heart and the Will of Fire. As the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki was the strongest Kage the ninja world had ever seen, but more than that, he was someone who united the ninja villages and brought the world together.
Get Ready For Boruto Uzumaki's New Power-Up In Two Blue Vortex
Boruto Uzumaki has a major power up coming up, and it will make him up to the Shinju challenge.
Now, however, Naruto Uzumaki isn't around anymore, and the world needs a replacement. Thankfully, the next Naruto Uzumaki has already been chosen by Masashi Kishimoto himself in Boruto, and that's none other than the daughter of Naruto's greatest friend and rival, Sarada Uchiha. Sarada aims to become the Hokage just like Naruto, and most of all, she absolutely idolizes the Seventh Hokage. Sarada knows that Naruto Uzumaki holds tremendous power, but it is his kindness and his Will of Fire that truly inspire her, and that's what makes her the next Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto.
Sarada Uchiha Carries The Will Of Fire In The Next Generation
Sarada Wants to Be The Hokage
- Sarada wants to be a Shinobi like Naruto
- Boruto wants to be more like Sasuke
In a plethora of powerful next-generation shinobi, Sarada Uchiha stands out as the only one who truly cares about the well-being of the entire village and carries the Will of Fire. There are those that protect from the shadows, such as Boruto Uzumaki, who would never take on the role do the Hokage, and of course, Kawaki doesn't ever deserve to grace the position due to his acts, but Sarada is the perfect replacement for Naruto.
I will become the Hokage of the village, just like Lord Seventh! — Sarada Uchiha
Boruto: Kishimoto Confirms A Major Power-Up For Kawaki
Kawaki is in for a major power-up as the Boruto story progresses.
Sarada Uchiha carries tremendous potential and she can very well become the strongest in the world, thanks to her Mangekyo Sharingan powers. Her eyes still hold powers that the fans haven't even seen yet, and that makes her truly special. She will go on to reach even higher heights in the future, but strength alone doesn't make her the next Naruto. It is the fact that just like Naruto, Sarada wants to treat the whole village as her family and understands the concept of protecting those around her. Sarada is a true leader, and even Kishimoto made her the captain of Team 7 in Konohamaru’s absence against Boro. Truly, if there is a leader who deserves to be the next Naruto, it is Sarada.
I want to be a shinobi like Lord Seventh, that's my goal. — Sarada Uchiha
Sarada Will Accomplish Greatness In The Future
The Best Of Sarada Has Yet To Come
Right now, Sarada Uchiha is far from accomplishing her dreams. She certainly does carry the Will of Fire but she's still too weak. Just like Naruto, Sarada will have to carve out her own path and attain great power. She will then have to learn to use her powers to help those around her. Given her great potential and the fact that she intends to be like Naruto, one absolutely cannot doubt that she can go on to achieve this.
Sarada still has a lot of time to grow. She still has to improve her Mangekyo Sharingan skills and there's also the fact that she might even gain a Rinnegan in the future. That aside, Sarada's compassion, and the fact that she beat the Uchiha Curse of Hatred, are proof of the fact that if anyone deserves to succeed Naruto Uzumaki as Konoha's new leader, it is her.
