The Boruto series started quite light-hearted since the village was enjoying a time of peace. Naruto, as a Hokage, did his job well, and there weren’t any major threats during the earlier parts of the series. However, that is no longer the case, since the Shinju have taken over the Konohagakure. Therefore, it has been challenging to explore romantic relationships since the stakes are quite high. Despite this, there is one character in particular whose romantic partner has been a topic of interest among fans. The question they have is this: Does Sarada like Boruto?

In short, yes. Sarada Uchiha has a romantic interest in Boruto. It has not been mentioned explicitly. However, there is plenty of evidence to suggest the same. Fans could always sense a lingering tension whenever these two were on screen. Her interest in the protagonist continued to become more apparent as the series progressed.

Before the commencement of the Two Blue Vortex manga, Boruto fled from the village. Konohagakure wanted to hunt him down since they thought it was he who was responsible for Naruto and Hinata’s apparent deaths. She wanted to help Boruto escape when the entire village was hunting him down. At that time, Eida’s Omnipotence had jumbled everyone’s memories, and Sarada was one of the few who didn’t fall prey to the Divine Technique.

During that time, Sarada wanted to help Boruto to the point where she unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan. Her feelings for the character were so intense that it awakened one of the most powerful ocular techniques in the entire series. Furthermore, the protagonist’s return to Konohagakure was quite eventful.

Several incidents indicate her interest in the protagonist. However, there is one particular thing that stands out. Sarada is quite shy and never really expresses affection, be it romantic or platonic, through physical touch. However, she went running towards the protagonist and leapt into his arms.

This was a clear indication that she had feelings for him. Additionally, she used to watch him train for days on end while being perched up in a tree. She has always shown concern for him in a way that she hasn’t for anyone else. These are some of the reasons why fans believe that Sarada likes Boruto


Will Sarada play an important role in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex?

While the recent chapters were great, there were a few things that needed improvement. One of the biggest gripes that fans had with the author was their treatment of Sarada Uchiha. She is a prodigy who was reduced to a "damsel in distress." This was an example of the terrible utilization of a character with more potential.

However, Sarada just showcased her Mangekyo Sharingan ability, and it’s a space-time ninjutsu. It is clear that she is a powerful kunoichi who will play an important role as the series progresses. She can be considered a deuteragonist, and her Uchiha techniques might become useful when the protagonist is in a pinch situation. Not only is Sarada powerful, but she is also a great tactician.


In summation, Sarada Uchiha has a romantic interest in Boruto. This has been clear from the get-go, and the recent events only confirm the speculations further. That being said, the manga has not explicitly stated the existence of a romantic relationship at the moment. However, once things have resolved, fans can expect Sarada and the protagonist to explore a romantic relationship once they have fulfilled their duties as a shinobi and kunoichi.
