-What is the purpose of being a ninja? What role will we serve now even when the world is in peace?
Clearly Sarada is thinking on a higher level than anyone else,including the "prodigy" you tend to hype,and put above her.But nah,she's Sakura's daughter so you'll continously hate on her.You were banned for a reason.
Oh boy..
Sarada is not contemplating on the Ninja system, but as to why everyone is exciting to become a ninja and why they are excited. You picked out three important shinobi, but I stated her class. Read the chapter over again and you will notice that Kishimoto has the entire class rouse and form in excitement. As for Boruto/Mitsuki. The boy in blue only states that it has finally come, and Boruto says it will be a piece of cake. Nothing there tells you bar of anything aside from them ready to become shinobi.
Sarada thinking on a higher level? That has to be some kind of backwards thinking. Sarada is complaining, not questioning:
"What is everyone going to become ... Ninjas?!"
And then after becoming a ninja, then what?!
And just the hell what does it mean to be an ninja?!
All I hear echoing around me is ninja, ninja, NINJA!!!
So godammn annoying!!
Through the thoughts of everyone getting exciting of becoming a shinobi, she does not seem interested, or in-fact she does not understand why everyone is so interested. She has no knowledge of what becoming a shinobi is, she is ignorant in the ways of shinobi and her thinking is bar none of inexperience.
You are overplaying her inner monologue when it is supposed to represent one who has yet to touch the surface of their potential, life, and understanding of what it means to become what they want.
What we know so far is that she's questioned Sakura on her relationship with Sasuke. This isn't particularly noteworthy considering he's been absent for 12 years. You don't have to be smart to realize something is up.
Then we have people grasping straws concerning her line of thoughts in the academy. These are not particularly deep or interesting either. It's summed up as her questioning what it means to be a ninja and what the hype is all about. She's not even a ninja yet so the "What does it even mean to be a ninja?" line is silly. Yet no one seems to figure out that the only reason she started to ask these question was when her own teacher told them about "graduating". Such genius Lol
She's not even questioning the system, but if she did people would be eating up anything she says. Questioning a system when she has no inkling of experience as a ninja or any knowledge pertaining to government.
She might not be a genius, but she's showing early signs of Itachi's thinking. The fact that she doesn't give up searching for the truth about her father proves that she doesn't give up searching for answers she wants. That attitude will remain with her when she grows up, leading her to question life the same way Itachi did.
Nah,you are just downplaying the intelligence she's shown,whilst pointing out her appearance.Sarada was serious and asking important questions about the world at 12,while everyone else was either carefree or complaining,i guess that's not important though.
Salad only complained and had the most panel time for the chapter. Whether it was by insulting others, or scolding others, or having a daddy complex. She is no different than the rest of them, only in that her maturity is an illusion. She seems more mature since she was quiet and kept her negative thoughts mainly to herself.
You mean how she said it was annoying that people were confident about graduating and becoming ninja? She was annoyed and doesn't understand. Not contemplating. If she really was concerned then she would ask Shino, her sensei, or her mom, or some other adult shinobi about what the ninja world is all about. Besides, this goes nowhere given she becomes a shinobi for the Boruto movie. xD
That "ninja, ninja, ninja, so annoying!" panel she had was for nothing other than to parallel her to her parents. Nothing more and nothing less.
Compare her quotes to what Hashirama/Tobirama/Itachi/Madara and several others said as children and at younger ages, too. She is not intelligent or mature by comparison.
I do acknowledge that Kishimoto wanted fans to immediately think she is intelligent due to how she carries herself (quiet), and her glasses (he said that was the reason he drew her with them)- but as far as what she said in the chapter and her actual actions she has failed to impress. She is just as ignorant as the rest, only calmer. He has only succeeded in getting pairing fans riled up and that is all. And for Sakura/Sasuke fans to overrate her since she is their child.

Salad rambling on about what it means to be a shinobi isn't an intelligence feat for her. She knows nothing about the shinobi system and feels like complaining (she even said it was annoying that people continued mentioning it). It's showing her ignorance to the world around her due to growing up during a time of peace.
Ignorance ? Look at how every kid her age is acting and compare it to her. She's the only one questioning her life while everyone else is happy to stay in their bubble.
Nor is it particularly smart about questioning her family. She said "mom, I've been meaning to ask you". Meaning that she had spent 12 years of her life never directly questioning Sakura about Sasuke and their relationship. Real life children have dealt with an absent parent better than Kishimoto wrote her dealing with it.
Not smart ? She could already tell her parents have a messed up relationship without being told about it. Kids believe everything they're told from a young age but her observing skills allowed her to doubt Sakura's words which led her to even question her own birth.
She said she didn't know anything about the Uchiha. That's not questioning, that's stating that she really doesn't know. She's ignorant in regards to her clan, too. She doesn't know why people think they're elite, who the founder is, that she even had an uncle, what happened to the clan... none of that.
Having her lineage praised is no different to someone of royal descent getting their ass kissed. She should be egotistical by this point assuming other villagers told her the same thing as ChoCho. Yet she hasn't even bothered to ask Sakura why people praise her lineage.
Kishimoto said that he just made female Sasuke with some of Sakura's attributes. She's nothing like her uncle in terms of actions or looks. Nor have there been any parallels between the two yet.
You do know that could mean anything right ? It doesn't necessarily have to be her personality.
Also, Kishimoto said that he wanted Sarada to represent an intellectual character due to wearing glasses. He didn't say through her actions... but through wearing glasses. xD Appearance is everything when it comes to Kishimoto's female characters, I guess. lol
Thinking can be anything, Naruto thought like Jiraiya in the sense he was pervy, he thought like Kakashi in the sense that he quickly came up with solutions to defeating opponents. Sarada will show the same in the sense that she constantly analyzes her environment
Ignorance ? Look at how every kid her age is acting and compare it to her. She's the only one questioning her life while everyone else is happy to stay in their bubble.
Ignorance? Funny enough; ChoCho, Shikidai, Inojin, Boruto, and Matsuki are all not screaming for joy. Sarada is the only one shown complaining, but she is the only one shown to have a inner monologue because we are following through her POV.
INot smart ? She could already tell her parents have a messed up relationship without being told about it. Kids believe everything they're told from a young age but her observing skills allowed her to doubt Sakura's words which led her to even question her own birth.
So Sarada is a genius to figure out the relationship between Sasuke and Sakura is bloody terrible when he has been missing for thirteen years? Add that with her constant interaction between her friends, and their families. Funny enough before she visited her home, she was just dealing with Shikamaru/Shikidai, Choji/ChoCho, and Naruto/Borto.
IHaving her lineage praised is no different to someone of royal descent getting their ass kissed. She should be egotistical by this point assuming other villagers told her the same thing as ChoCho. Yet she hasn't even bothered to ask Sakura why people praise her lineage.
She does not understand why people praise her lineage, because she does not understand what is so special about the "Uchiha". This is an obvious testament to her own abilities as-well, or her rating of herself. She is not that special, in her eyes, and she does not understand the importance of the Uchiha name. Obviously because Sasuke was not there for her either.

The glasses are just the start, she's going to reveal her intelligence

The same just louder. She questions her life since hers is less happy than their's. Anyone in her position would, regardless of intelligence.

No. I've volunteered and helped kids with problematic family backgrounds in the past. Every kid notices something is up. Some just are more open and tell you, while others you have to talk to them to know that they know because they're shy. xD In Salad's case, her father is gone for 12 years. Her noticing is not an act of intelligence. It's a given. Just being real here.
It's odd that she didn't ask before it got to 12 years of an absence. The first time she asked if Sakura was really Sasuke's wife was this chapter. It's a little late for her to ask in this place.
Having her lineage praised is no different to someone of royal descent getting their ass kissed. She should be egotistical by this point assuming other villagers told her the same thing as ChoCho. Yet she hasn't even bothered to ask Sakura why people praise her lineage.
Being egotistical is the quality of being self-centered. She is self-centered and only thinks of her own problems, just as her father did at this age.
No. She is praised as an Uchiha but knows nothing about why the Uchiha are considered elite. That's like telling someone constantly that they're a fantastic baker, but they only know how to make one cake. They'd be perplexed, because they don't understand why it's warranted. Just as Salad is.
Salad didn't even say thank you when ChoCho said that. She wasn't humble, she just shrugged it off. Having humility and explicitly ignoring praise are two different things. Salad does the latter.
You do know that could mean anything right ? It doesn't necessarily have to be her personality.
There's nothing more to a manga character other than looks, personality, and what they stand for (which includes all actions and dialogue).
Kishimoto was talking about her personality when he said that about Salad, he stated this. So, no. It cannot be anything. Just personality. She's fem!Sasuke w/ some of Sakura's personality intertwined as well.
The glasses are just the start, she's going to reveal her intelligence
I think you might be writing off the other kids a little too quickly tbh. It has been one chapter, and the chapter focused almost entirely on Sarada. Maybe you should give the others some time And I think you should give Sarada some time too. Don't try to extrapolate so much from one chapter...
I'm seeing a lot of wank over something that are so damn trivial. What's even more funny is how its being defended to no ends. I won't outright speak who I am referring to though. Lol

Beautiful pic. Nice shading, and Itachi's posture/hair looks great. His hair is covering his face, so that you cannot see the sad emotion. Made by one of the biggest Itachi fans/fanartists in this fandom to show the complexity behind Itachi's character. He's the kindest shinobi but the one who doesn't falter. He's not inherently good or bad, just a tragic hero who did what he thought was best in difficult scenarios of this series. He's a gentle shinobi, the only one making this paradox work in its truest form.
Though, admittedly inaccurate since the anime already has shown Itachi killing some of his clansmen and they didn't even have time to react or realize what was happening. No fear and no pain. lol Just one hit and done. Unlike how Pein destroyed Konoha and Hanzo's entire clan (that had everything destroyed D: ), or how Sasuke, Sarada's dad, wanted to destroy Konoha as all people, men, women, and children would scream in agony.
You know, it would be really interesting to see her reaction to learning that her uncle saved the Uchiha clan's honor (and the village/shinobi world) by taking the burden upon himself instead of allowing all Uchiha men, women, and children to be slaughtered in broad daylight in a war that would lead to a shinobi war and forever disgrace the Uchiha clan for committing the greatest sin shinobi can- going against their roots and disturbing the peace. And didn't even think of going to tell the truth so that he could have his own family, be known as the hero, etc because that would make clear the clan's intent and their plans for forced Uchiha leadership. That civilians and other citizens did not want, since the Uchiha had become corrupt over the years according to Orochimaru's words due to abusing power with just the police force alone. And that he didn't ever kill Sasuke when in reality he had no true benefit to keeping the truth hidden behind the massacre, it was just to benefit Sasuke and the clan itself.
Salad should probably make Itachi her role model instead of Sasuke, since he's the reason that she can even show her face as an Uchiha spawn in Konoha, while Sasuke is just the guy who hit it and quit it, then proceeded to leave for 12 years on a pointless journey looking for imaginary threats. Itachi is the reason Salad even exists, given the elder bro always protected Sasuke. Even after death because of Izanami on Kabuto, who saved Sasuke after Maddy wrecked him. Lol
tl;dr- Maybe Salad doesn't even deserve to meet Itachi. Hmmm?

Cute bait, though. ^^ Ironically (or obviously, I suppose), trolls don't understand the purpose behind the pic or know how popular it is with Itachi fans. Wish we had more like that.
ot: Nope. Salad is not like that. Same point of view I had in former posts.
Sarada asked the same question that sasuke asked himself. What is a shinobi? Like kishi said sarada resembles alot of sasuke with a hint of sakura. This is evident if you look at sarada personality. Now is the question sarada asking intelligent? Yes and here is why. Everyone is excited about becoming a ninja and thats cool and all. But to me they aren't necessarily taking becoming a ninja all that serious.
In ways this is a crossroad that every ninja must cross and must ask themselves "what does a ninja mean to you". Sasuke asked himself this question and with some time discovered the answers to his question. Sarada is a lot more mature than here classmates so she reached this crossroad before her classmates. A big question she asked and no one can answer this question except for her. All others can do is tell her what a ninja means from their viewpoints. Also, mature thinking= intelligent especially in the case of a 12-14 year old asking about something that will become a big part of her life.
Just thought i put my 2 cents out there.
ps. as we know she answers this question and becomes a ninja based off the boruto movie trailer.
