Other than Sarada who would be a good rival for Bolt?

Probably Lee's kid or Inojin.
I don't think we will see a rivalry like Naruto & Sasuke's, they were destined to be rivals.

Bolt doesn't even acknowledge Salad's existence. I doubt they are going to be rivals, more like close friends at least. Considering who their parents are, I doubt it in the least if Salad becomes pairing fodder for Boruto. Seems highly possibly from Kishimoto's work.

Bolt will probably find someone on his level and when I mean on his level, I mean a male who he sees as someone better than him, or whom the male counterpart sees Boruto as someone to be admired. It all depends on how it happens, but I doubt a rivalry is what Kishimoto is going after.

It seems like he wants to pursue the connection of Boruto/Salad as a friendship which connect them by Naruto/Sasuke. Or at least that's what I am assuming.

It may not be that Bolt doesn't acknowledge Sarada's existence. He just didn't talk to her in chapter 700. That doesn't mean that he doesn't know of her existence. Naruto didn't always talk to Sasuke in the academy and he didn't talk to Sasuke in chapter 1, yet we know how their relationship turned out. Naruto didn't talk to Hinata at all in chapter 1 or for most of the series for that matter, yet in the end he married her. Heck, I don't talk to everyone at my school but I still know the names of some of the people I don't talk to. The same could be true for Bolt and Sarada (by the way I emphasized chapter 1 because you are claiming that Bolt and Sarada can't be rivals because of the fact that Bolt didn't acknowledge her in the first and only chapter they appeared in. Meanwhile Naruto didn't acknowledge Sasuke in the first chapter they all appeared in). Naruto mainly spent time either alone or with the other dead lasts (Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba).

It doesn't necessarily have to be a male for the rival to be stronger than Bolt. Kaguya wrecked Sasuke so many times after all and she is female.

Sarada will be a bad match up for Burrito, because she will nerf him hard.

Didn't see your quote.
Uhh, that's not true. In the early stages of the manga, first few chapters included Konohamaru before Sakura/Sasuke. This is how they reacted in the classroom:

Yeah, Salad is not going to be his rival considering what we have thus far.

You misunderstood my post. I am not saying that He interacted with the dead lasts in chapter 1. No, chapter 1 was when Mizuki tricked Naruto and Naruto learned Shadow Clone jutsu, etc...

I am saying that Naruto didn't talk to Sasuke in chapter 1. The scans you posted were in chapter 3 or so. You based your assumption that Sarada won't rival Bolt because Bolt didn't talk to her in the first chapter they appeared in. I am saying that the logic behind this assumption is flawed because Naruto did not talk to Sasuke in the first chapter they appeared in, yet Naruto and Sasuke turned out to be huge rivals.

The part about the dead lasts in my post was just saying that Naruto spent more time with the dead lasts than Sasuke in general during his childhood (I am not saying that he interacted with them in the first few chapters)

It's Sarada or no one. I doubt Bolt is going to be given a main rival.

I already told you that the Naruto characters: Sasuke, and Sakura were introduced later in the manga, even after Konohamaru. The first few chapters revolved strictly around Naruto, Iruka, Konohamaru, and the Third.

The manga chapters depict how they acted in the classroom. Nothing indicates that this just started, or that their rivarly had started at that time. Must I remind you:

Kishimoto created panels throughout the entire manga that shows how both Naruto/Sasuke saw each other as possible 'rivals/friends/etc' considering their circumstances. A lot of flash backs, even when they were too old to become Genin.

So I'm still correct >O >

You said something key, these depictions and flashbacks came later in the manga than chapter 1. In the same way, depictions of Bolt and Sarada's interaction could come later in part 3 than chapter 700. Yes Kishi depicted their relationship extending back to childhood, but it still was shown later than chapter 1. In the same way, Kishi or whoever does part 3 can depict their relationship later than chapter 700. That is why you are wrong. You are saying that it doesn't matter that Naruto and Sasuke's relationship was not depicted at all in chapter 1, while for whatever reason Bolt and Sarada's relationship absolutely had to be depicted in chapter 700 or else it will never show up.

We could argue about this all night, but it doesn't matter who is wrong or right at this point. We will find out in a few months:

Nothing really implies that they have made connection, at all. In fact, Salad talks frequently about Bolt to her mother Sakura. We also know that Salad stalks Bolt much like how Hinata did to early Part one Naruto.

Literally, none of these add to the end result of rivals. Unless we are reading two different mangas here.

The same goes for Bolt and Sarada. You just have to wait (whereas you keep pre-judging based on very little to no information).

Little Lee negs.

Show me one rivalry in this manga that was made out of the opposite gendars. That like makes no sense. Lol

Yeah, for one reason which I explained three times, unless you ignoring me for personal reasons. Sasuke was not shown yet. Sasuke was not even in the classroom yet.

Salad was created and shown in the early chapters. So there you go.

There is nothin about them yet except their bloodline. I will prefer non-bloodlinelimit to learn thing in different way, starts from 0 and build up by discover and experience.

He was in chapter 1. He can be seen sitting behind Naruto on page 13. Besides, just because she was shown and didn't have interaction with Bolt in the first chapter, doesn't restrict such interaction from ocurring in later chapters.

Here is the rule that you do not seem to get in your mind:

1st chapter =/= every single detail! We must wait!

It must have just been page 13 on the source where I got the info from. Look around the page. Try pages 11, 12, 14, etc...
