I'll be really honest the thing is Sarada and Mitsuki have better stories than Boruto and the creators focus more on Boruto that's what making it hard to watch or read.Pretty much every character in Boruto series have better story than Boruto himself they have better reason to do things they are doing.

I can read 700 chapters if it's on Sarada but Boruto going that far over better characters doesn't make any sense.

I would like his character more if he wasnt so annoying. He reminds me of those arrogant small rich kids who keep throwing a tantrum at the toy shop because they feel they are entitled to everything. That being said, Mitsuki feels like another Sai to me and Salad feels like Sakura with Sharingan

That is true. Boruto's story is lackluster and seems to be omnidirectional. There is no lead. The only thing that's making it seem interesting are all the characters that are involved, but even that doesn't placate the substandard writing that goes into it. They'll run out of excuses to put Boruto in undeserved spotlight eventually, and the only hope for this manga ever surviving is if there is more focus on worthier characters, my vote is cast on Mitsuki and Sarada being the main leads, and Boruto being the additional character when their stories have been more fleshed out, although that could be Shikadai who's more interesting than Boruto.

so is Sarada, you guys need to read better manga if you actually believe Sarada is a good character when she received little to no development since Gaiden.
Although I cannot prevent it from sounding salty, it isn't their fault. Mostly the writers, but then again, if we could shift the blame from the writers, then it would be Boruto before any other character. Even Shikadai seems to be affected and he's not even one of the three main characters.

Pretty much all the new characters seem to be edits of their parents. Sarada has a lot of Sasuke and Sakura showing through her persona, Mitsuki seems to be Orochimaru if he smiled more (which makes him more Sai than Orochimaru) and Boruto seems to be Naruto, except with goals to be like Sasuke, a Naruto with better judgement and edgy personality. I wouldn't say any of them are original with all the info we have on their parents.

I agree but what I'm saying is that Sarada is nothing special, sure she has a lot of potential but so is Mitsuki and Boruto. You guys need to stop overrating her because she is the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha, knowing the current manga writer I doubt she will ever deliver tbh.

What stories do Sarada and Mitsuki actually have at this point?

Sarada's father issues were pretty much oneshotted by the Gaiden arc. The writers could turn to making Sarada take an interest in the Uchiha clan and learning about it's history and what happened to it, but that would ultimately dive into repetitive territory.

Once she finds out about the history of the Uchiha clan, there are a few possible routes she could go down.

1. She could leave the village/turn against it/try to destroy it/ try to launch a coup de tat. This would be repetitive though because we already went down this route with Sasuke (and the police force with the coup thing).

2. She could try and launch a revolution to change the shinobi world. (Already done by Madara, Obito, Sasuke, Nagato, etc...)

What other paths are there for her?

Nobody hates her or targets her for being Uchiha or anything like that.

Even for her hokage goal, that doesn't really encompass a specific plotline or story (not without some kind of adversity that specifically relates to the hero). Naruto had the hatred of the villagers, the akautski targeting him, and his desire to get Sasuke back as plot points that backed up his progression to becoming hokage.

What does Sarada have going for her?

Sarada's progression to becoming hokage would just be her doing her job and being a good shinobi. No specific plot that pertains specifically to Sarada.


In short, Sarada doesn't really have any specific problems/issues that would solidify her as main character material (unlike Naruto and Sasuke who had things like akautski, and avenging clans to deal with).

As for Mitsuki, he has even less going for him. Story wise, his main gimmick is that Boruto is his "sun", but what kind of plot is that supposed to entail?

Aside from that, the writers could have made it so that some people hated him for being Orochimaru's son, but nobody does (not even Konohamaru whose grandfather was killed by Orochimaru).

Say what you want about Boruto's character, but at least Boruto's fate is connected to relatively uncharted territory involving the Otsutsuki. This fate even comes with a never before seen dojutsu and seal. There are hints that the Kara may take an interest in Boruto as well. No matter how you slice it, Boruto's fate drives an actual plot while Sarada and Mitsuki are basically just shinobi for now.

I would echo the same thing about the rest of the new generation. They're all copies of the real deal in austerity, and let's be frank, Mitsuki is Orochimaru with a few small changes, he's just as playful as Orochimaru probably was in his childhood years. He's a lot more divergent than Sarada and Boruto still, I would challenge to say.

Boruto is more-so Naruto than his own self, he's been existing inside that bubble ever since this series started, except he's more edgy and just emotionally unstable, something the writers seem necessitated to do so his actions of betrayal don't come as much of a shock due to how that correlates with how Sasuke was before he fell into darkness. We can see some Sasuke in him, but little, which is mostly contrived for the sole of sealing the apprentice deal, and that's all the justification that can be made in Boruto's defense, but he's still veritably a copy of Naruto, all in all.

Sarada may be deviating a lot from being like Sasuke, and Sakura, SP have done a wonderful job at not drawing too much from either side of her characters, at times we're reminded of Itachi when it comes to her judgement and fighting style, and that's AT LEAST something, but overall, we get her parent's vibes.

We could go over other characters too, and we'll come to a similar conclusion as these main characters, especially with Shikadai, their parents traits seem to have rubbed off on them too much, and no one really is excluded from this. It goes for all the characters, but it really depends how far you want to go with the characters. I can bet you would find A LOT if you dug enough, comparing what Boruto said and what Naruto said when they were the same age, side by side, and done the same for Sarada.

But we'll see how it'll go, they could deviate down the line, and I see a lot of potential in Sarada, she's got a solid drive for a female character. She's already got it all together, and isn't just there like Sakura unfortunately was, and there might be more room for development if they don't only scale it to her Hokage dream like they did Naruto, they could add in the anathema with her, which would give her a bigger drive than anyone else who just wanted to become Hokage because they thought that was cool.
